can we install desire z roms to our phone?
if yes what wouldnt work?
No, but there are lots of roms modified from Desire Z available for U8800
Where??
i can see only 2 roms for u8800 on xda.
Check the wiki for most ROMs available.
In addition, you've got an up-to-date MIUI and an up-to-date CM7.2.
When installing, make sure you've got the correct kernel on your device beforehand, as well as a compatible CWM recovery.
Not possible
In short, No.
I thought of the same idea & bricked my last U8800.
There are however plenty of custom rom's out there based on the Desire Z & they're preety good depending what you are looking for.
Good Luck!!!

Hi there!
So i was wondering if i should root my phone, and how would i should do it? I would like to avoid to write large amounts of commands on my phone.
I really like the uberroot way of doing it (please correct me if it's called something else.)
Is it safe to do it that way?
I've been looking for a vanilla froyo/gingerbread rom for desire z, and frankly,i haven't stumbled upon one yet.
I just wanna make TOTALLY clear, it's for desire z, not g2.
Hope you can help me!

All of the custom ROMs are compatible with both devices
Rooting with rage is the SAFEST way to go, just requires some simple adb commands:

CyanogenMod is as close to vanilla android you can get with heaps of awesome tweaks

Enom's ROM is another awesome vanilla ROM:

Awesome man, thanks for quick reply.
So in theory, that means that i could flash a g2 rom on my desire z?

+1 for the in depth answer above....
...and yep, these roms can be flashed to either device.
Hi! I just bought my desire HD a while ago. I came from xperia x10 and been following their forums here in xda. Although they are both Android phones, it seems that I am confuse and not familiar with the terms used in this forum. So I want to ask help frm any of you who are already familiar with this phone. I want to have a guide as to where will I start; rooting, updating firmware, optimizing, etc. As i find most of the posts here too confusing and i don't know where to start so if anyone can guide me thank u in advance
I second that.

You will get many answers to that. My favourite daily is Rcmixhd v05. Doesn't update as much as some others but its the best option if you want a nice smooth experience which is close to stock. The gingerbread keyboard is great too. It is better than HTC stock.
The truth is that there is not that much difference between the different roms except some cosmetic things, and the odd added app.

Hey,
can some one guide me to where i can download the original ROM for the Desire Z?
i dont think theres any just stock plain desire z rom, villianrom however is a great desire z rom if you would want that

is there any with the htc sense because my friend as an idiot didnt backup his orginial rom and decided to install the gingerbread 2.3 gingervillain rom
I looked through the sticky and I think this is what you're looking for (make sure before you flash!).
If you want to try dabbling in some custom SENSE roms, VillainROM is one (though I'm not sure on the development status with other projects like Gingervillain going on. The other alternative is Virtuous. Virtuous seems to be the go-to sense rom amongst G2/DZ users.
yep hes right
Ok, I think the title is clear enough but, I'd like to know if there are any MIUI ROMs for the Motorola Defy Plus with a 2.3 (GB) Kernel. Thing is, I have Quarx's CM9 on Multiboot but I'd love to try ICS MIUI on it, but I understand I have to flash Froyo Kernel but don't know what would that do to my CM9 I'm so in love with.
I've searched all the threads on xda and the web but I haven't been able to find what I'm looking for.
Thanks!
Unfortunately Currently there is no miui build that works on gb kernel.

Thanks for the reply! Is there another rom that I should try? I don't really know about another interface for 4.0 but it would surely be great if there were one.
Edit: I have another question, is there a way to install a froyo kernel on multiboot so i can keep cm9 (GB) on my default boot? I already have multiboot but I'm not sure if flashing wiui, for example, will damage the other rom.
Look at the miui ics thread by sesme

Well as far as I know multi boot requires same kernel for the roms. I don't know if any recent development has changed it. You may check multi boot thread.

Hi! A friend left me his Defy so I could so I can put it on steroids as it's working really slow. It's still on Android 2.1 (Vodafone Spain) and never touched. I've read all the necessary stuff for beginners and understood everything (I'm not new to rooting and flashing, I've a fully hacked Desi), but I want to know a few things.
First of all, should I stay on 2.1 as base or is it better to upgrade to Froyo, in which case what is the preferred SBF?
As this is for a friend and I'm not gonna have access to his phone everyday I need a really stable rom. Are the latest CM roms stable enough?
And at last, I've read that some of this roms come with the kernel, what does that mean?
Thanks in advance for all the info.
1) You can upgrade to Froyo, or stay as it is(will not really affect performance) although people report Froyo to be a bit smoother
2)CM7 is very stable and fast( you may use maniacs or other builds)
3)I think you are referring to the 2ndboot ROMs which include a custom kernel. Though I personally use them, they may not be stable/fast enough for everyone
I would suggest trying cm7,9,10 and check how it works out for you

Yes, isn't that 2ndboot thing necessary to be able to boot any custom rom? So now if I would like to install a custom rom I should (update to Froyo,) root, install 2nd init and then flash the rom and recover the nandroid for that build?

Yes that's right, but what nandroid do you mean? Usually you don't have to recover nandroid. For CM7,9,10 you should just flash .zip from cwm. For ms2ginger you have to follow the instructions in op (there you have to use a nand backup)
Sent from my Defy green lense using xda-developers app
No, there are ROMs without custom kernel as well. Cm7 and all miui builds are based on stock kernel ( all GB ROMs). JB is available in both, so is ICS, and only a couple of ROMs are nandroid backups, rest are zips. Remember to wipe data as well while flashing builds

If Froyo is officially deployed in your area and carrier go for it

Ok, so now I'm into work. I've already rooted and installed 2init. Nest step is to install a custom rom but I can't decide from this three: Epsylon3's CM9.1 Android 4.0.4, [email protected]'s CM10 Moto Ice Gun Edition or Quarx's CM10 Android 4.1.2. What would you recommend if looking for stability?

Sorry, as you see in the sticky in this very section, asking which is ROM is best in any category (stability, speed, whatever) is strictly against forum rules. Thanks for your cooperation.
