We've gotten alot of response from the Desire community so thank you all for your help. At this time we do not need any more testers for the desire. BootManager should be updated with support for the Htc Desire in the next few days. The app currently won't support rom's that use apps2sd and data2sd but our team is working on getting support for those as well. Thanks.
Hey guys my team has developed an app called bootmanager which went into the market today. The app let's you install rom's to your sdcard and boot between them. I had originally done an inc only version here that used your recovery for installing rom's. The new app installs the rom's directly through the app and then let's you boot between them. Anyway on to the point of this post...i'm looking for 1 or 2 beta testers to add support for the desire. You'll need a little knowledge of adb, root of course, and just a little bit of patience. So far has worked pretty well on every htc device wev'e tried so I'm confident we can add support for the desire as well. You can get a little more info about the app from the link in my sig or looking at it in the market. If your interested pm me so I can get the info needed for the desire(.i.e partition sizes and a few other things that i'll tell you how to find in adb) and I'll send the apk for you to try. Thanks for your help....
Very interesting app! Would hboot have to be compatible (ie right size) with all the installed roms or as they are installed to SD does it not matter?

by hboot your refferring to the bootloader? This doesn't change the bootloader. It makes img's on your sdcard which hold your system/data/cache files for the rom, then it edits the boot.img for that rom to point to those img's when booting. Then the app flashes the boot.img for the rom you want to boot too.
I would be very interested in trying this out as I pretty much change my ROM on a daily to weekly basis haha, I just can't stop! This would be a good way to nurture my need for all the ROMs I switch between all of the time.
Would this app work on a non rooted phone? I mean having the stock ROM in the phone and a rooted one on the SDcard. But I guess it wouln't...

No you need an unlocked bootloader to switch the boot.img. And root to do a number of other things involved in setting up the rom.

Once you go MIUI you don't go back I can't bring myself to use anything else LOL!
Oh I tried MIUI-XJ, it's nice to know that you're happy with it ^^ I used it for about three to four days and felt that I was using an iPhone more so than an Android and I prefer the feel/look of Android devices... I loved being able to theme it so easily, though. I like the transparency mods in NeoPhyte ROMs and bits and pieces of many others... I should just figure out how to make my own.
I hope that you got my response, Conap! My sent items folder said I hadn't sent anything but I am most positive that I did so I will wait to hear back from you =D.
Yeah, sure I could help with the testing... Do you want somebody with that knows ADB etc..?
got Miui XJ on phone rom and tried to boot CM7.
working without problems so far!
thank you. gonna look into this now
Should we run the update after the rom has been installed, so it updates the boot.img ? Haven't tried running the update.zip directly from bootmanager yet, but works fine from recovery.
Installed MIUI-108050 on my HTC Desire (stock boot/S-ON)
looks fantastic....im new to android and my desire but i am currently using neo's reflex s rom and i love it...i really want to try MIUI but i love reflex!
Gonna sticky this thread, keep up the hard work

I CANT flash any rom on my desire,
thried ext2 and ext4 for all roms, tried the one with a2sd and also tried the roms without a2sd (miui au)
all will fail with this dialog appear "does this rom support ext2?" , and the i can only press 'okay' , then it will clean itself....
whats wrong herre?
maybe not compatible with sense based rom? cuz according to the replies here, only aosp roms seem to work
Hi,
I've successfully modded my MS2 yesterday using (walter's?) "ms2ginger-rc2". It's been quite easy - I expected it to be much more difficult.
Unfortunately it's impossible to add accounts (app crashs). Therefore I plan to roll back to the sysbackup Imade before with Clockworkmod and to re-mod it with a newer/ better/ more stable variant.
Can you suggest one that you are happy with? I am fine with Blur - it can be included.
Anything to keep in mind for the rollback? Just revert to the backup via the bootloader?
CU,
Meszi.

i have tried CM7 and was before using it on BackFlip, but on Milestone 2 i am really loving MIUI its great ROM.
The problem is as i saw no one who is maintaining these CM7 or MIUI rom is not Dev, so i kinda think Milestone 2 can perform better with some optimalisation for it. The reason is as far as Stock Froyo was slow, CM7 and MIUI did not show kinda speed progress or increase i guess it is performing same as stock ROM or maybe little but only little better, on BackFlip there was really dramatic speed change on CM7 but the dev around BF was more active then on Milestone and i am happy with what we have already.
As far as I know, the MIUI is the latest one. But that's just because endles7's ( the guy who is porting CM7 to M2) phone is bricked at the moment.
Both, CM7 and MIUI are great ROMs, but, at least for now, if you're looking for the newest one, then MIUI is the one for.
I believe that CM7 will be supported again soon, there is a movement on the forum to buy endles7 a new one if his is really bricked forever.
I'm using MIUI because o like the interface better.
Hope it helped =)
Upgraded to "ms2ginger 1.1" but still problems with accounts management
Hi,
I reverted to Froyo, reloaded the backup I had done with Clockworkmod, made an app backup using Titanium and re-modded the device to "ms2ginger 1.1". But still there is the same issue with accounts ("Konten" in German): When trying to add an account the app crashes.
I am fine with the rest ... it works far faster than with Froyo.
Is there a way to get accounts/"Konten" work again? Probably by finding it in the Titanium backup and taking the old app or by (re)installing some working .apk?
At the moment I am still very new to this topic ... until last week I still believed in the myth having bought an "unmoddable" device.
I'd try CM7, too ... but if it's possible to have it done with "ms2ginger" I'd at first prefer trying it that way.
Any suggestions?
CU,
Mészi.
after trying cm7, i really prefer MIUI Rom on A953 !
but Cyanogen team will soon release a 2.3.7 Rom ... so we'll see !
Switching from MS2Ginger to CM7 Nightly
Sorry, if it appears to be a dumb question. But at the moment I am still very new to this topic and want to avoid bricking the device by forgetting a thing when switching from "MS2Ginger 1.1" to some CM7 ROM...
When reading the installation steps of the nightly build (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239778)...
*START copy&paste*
[How to Install]:
1. Download all in one update.zip
2. Make sure you have CWM3.x/4.x working. Or download from here.
3. select all in one.zip then apply update.
4. double wipe(if you are coming from previous CM7 version,just wipe cache/dalvik)
5. For CWM4.x, reboot and done.
For CWM3.x, download fixed-sbf and flash it. Then done.
*END copy&paste*
...it's not plain to me if I needed to switch back to the official Froyo or if "updating" with the all in one.zip and wiping the data would be sufficient to get rid of the previous "MS2Ginger". :-/
Any recommendations?
CU,
Mészi.
Do you try with "RSD Lite" software to put the stock Rom ?
and then you do the update to the custom rom ... no brick with this method i think ! but i'm not expert sorry !

That's the question.
If it's not necessary I'd directly load the CM7 ROM using CWM.
But, anyway: As long as I can access the boot loader (PowerOn + Cam + VolDown) I could still revert to the official Froyo if updating to CM7 directly would not work.
I think I just give it a try...
CU,
Mészi.
exactly ... i was afraid last friday while updating my stock rom for MIUI ... my battery goes out !
all day i was thinking that my lovely Milestone was bricked ... but with "rsd lite" i re-install my original froyo ... and then i could re-root it and put the miui version !
last version is perfect ! just the problem of keyboard layout but there is a script who put it back to azerty ...
have a good luck for your update !
++
So you would recommend downgrading to the official Froyo at first? *somewhat confused* :-/
Sent from my MB953 using XDA App
... i don't really know ... just said that for me that was the only way to rescue my bootlooping m2 !
normaly you can update from any rom, just don't forget to clear cache, "dalvik cache" too (don't remeber the name) ...
the best is to do a factory reset before rebooting too ... but it's not always necessary ... from miui 1.09.23 to miui 1.10.8 i don't have to do it ...
they don't talk about it in the related post of your rom ?
Ok, thx. I am gonna just try it wiping the cache and overwriting the ROM. ROM switching is not relly described in the MS2Ginger HowTos. *g*
Will post my results here...

Hi there,
I just "updated" my MS2 from "ms2ginger 1.1" to "EndlessCM7_20111001_Nightly_BPSW_v1_0" without any problems.

Problems with CM/ Nightly
Hi there,
I am half-way about to throw it away again.
I installed EndlessCM7_20111001_Nightly_BPSW_v1_0.zip and then EndlessCM7_update_from_111001_to_111004_v1_5.zip and it appeared to work fine.
But I had to recognize an instable Market app, WiFi cannot connect to my access point and the camera app crashes reliably after starting it.
I will post this in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239778 too hoping that these are known issues with known solutions on it.
If anyone of you knows I'd be glad if you threw some suggestions at me.

O well....
For me, MIUI is workind perfectlly, without any problems.
And, my battery life increased alot with the latest build of it
So i would recommend it.

Hi, Michael:
I'd like to have my MS2's battery improved like you said and enjoy Exchange server support as well . Do you know if MIUI rom supports it?
MIUI has Exchange server support and works fine.

Make sure whichever launcher you are using is not on the SD card. I had the same problem with go launcher as soon as I moved it to my SD. I moved it back to phone and haven't had the problem since.
This is a bug of official 2.3 roms(I had it in all). Fortunately it' s not happen to everyone. Unfrortunatley we don't know what it triger it, and huawei never tried to find a solution(I've reported them from first 2.3 beta). I've found a way to solve it(in fact just to improve the situation, because it' s keep coming from time to time and needed to do it again). Basically is a command, which reinstall all apps, here is the link:

It' s strange though because I had this problem with all 2.3 official roms(and I have try all of them), but never on a custom rom, and for sure not on aurora & elora ICS which I've used for a long time.
Maybe thats because custom roms don't use stock launcher?

hello, I tried to find an android Rom, to make dual boot with windows mobile 6.5, my difficulty is to find, a more recent and functional version possible (perhaps by not understand English very well), just do not even know which one to choose, grateful if I could help me.
edit: I find this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1401767 before post, this is just one of the reasons why i was in doubt, is very well done, for who knows what the best kernel, or even a Rom, but for me, i decided to install an Android Rom on my HD2, in the last 5 days, is not going well, you know?
Hmm from what I understood u want a good Rom with a good kernel and not sure what to choose right??

What exactly is your problem?
do you have acces to the Market?
Let me transfer the first app, the others says, it will do, open the transfer bar, but does not even begin, it seems that i dont have space, is that the transfer is made to the internal memory? (I have a lot of space in memory card...)
P.S. - sorry, my english...
edit: i try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585420 works fine until now (no problem, install/tranfer apps), but i realy like the other one...
if you don't use any app2sd script , the app will be automatically saved on your internal memory.
Try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21195341&postcount=207
but be sure, you have a ext partition on your sd card.
you can create it with the normal cwm recovery
Edit: i attached the script
Thanks, i will try this...
Edit: Well I tried this: ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824154 ) first, because it seemed simpler, and it worked very well (5*), thanks anyway to everyone, and for everything, by the way, something else, what program i choose to see mp4, with subtitles, without delay, on HD2?
Hello,
I am using original rom. I have this u8800 huawei for about 1.5 year. NOw, the phone is not so sensitive when i touch and some slow sometimes. While onkeyboard, i cant correctly use the letters, usually wrong letters are being selected.
And its batters, it doesnot last so much, 3-4 hours.
And the phone memory. I have to delete some applicatiopns to free up space. I dont understand how those space is being fulled. Because i moved a lot of applications to sd card, so i dont understand how each week each week this memory goes full.
So, you see i have a lot of problems. I searched a lot of but i coudl not find nice informaition about roms. SO, which one do you suggest me to flash? Custom or stock?
And what do i have to before it? Backing up go sms messages to sd card, with calllogs backing up call logs, with titanium backing up applications and their data and that is it?
And another problem is that, i can see any file of sd card just like a pc, but i cant see the memory so i cant know what is in. So, how can i back up phone memory?
I am waiting your answers...
Did you update to gingerbread official? It's a stock ROM and way better than froyo. But if you want to get more performance and features from your U8800 i recommend you to root your phone and install a custom rom. For me one of the best roms and almost perfect is aurora ics by dzo, you will have access to a lot of features and also it will be possible for you to increase the phone performance.
