He deletes them when he updates them I'm on 2.7.2 right now...if you have a place to upload them, I can shoot 2.5 & 2.6 to you.

Bradden

Thanks for the tip on mildwild.. finally took the plunge and rooted this weekend. Installed mildwild as my first rom and it's really cool.

I currently show as having v2.7. I see there is an update to 2.7.2. Just wondered how I apply it? .. should I just wipe the dalvik cache and run the zip from recovery and do I need to rename the zip to update.zip like I did the rom?

Hadron

You should never need to rename anything to "update.zip". Just put a zip on your card, and use the option in the recovery menu to select the zip you want to install.

Hi hopefully someone can help me.
I want to flash this rom onto my desire.

[ROM][Cool3D Sense 3.5]31 Dec]Cool3D RunnyMede v6 |BASE 1.22|GSM/CDMA|STOCK|CM7/r2 - xda-developers

I have downloaded the rom and put it on my sd card but whenever i try to flash from sdcard its starts and then comes up with this:

Varifying update package
E:no signaure (1253 files)
E:Verificartion failed

Installation aborted

I have rooted using Unrevolked and have S-off and customer recovery. I have flashed CM7 with no probloms and have been usign this for a while and thought it was time for a change. Not sure what i have missed but any helop would be great.

thanks

Hadron

Try toggling signature verification in recovery (can't remember exactly where that option is in the menu, but it's there).

buddy1983

Thanks that worked. I flashed the rom but now when it boots up it goes passed the HTC screen then goes black and stays like it

Rastaman-FB

make sure you have met the roms requirements. also you can get that error if the rom is corrupt.
try re-downloading if you have met all the roms requirements

I have noticed that i need to have ext on the sd card. I havent done this but it did mention something about it during the flash process, would it do it automatically?

Also says i need the latest radio, dont know if i do or not.

Hadron

You definitely need an ext partition, of the size and type described on the ROM's XDA thread (if by any chance it doesn't say, 1GB ext4 would be a good guess, but best to see what the dev recommends).

It won't do this as part of the flash. You need to do it yourself before flashing, using GParted. See the root memory FAQ for details.

These new Sense ROMs are too big to fit in the phone's storage, so they keep part of the ROM on the ext partition. There is no other way of flashing them.

As for the radio, what have you got currently? We normally recommend leaving the radio alone unless you have problems.

buddy1983

Ok i better try and clear some space on my sd card.

My radio is

radio-5.17.05.23

Hadron

Then you've got the most recent radio already. You'll be fine.

buddy1983

Found the most up to date version of the rom i was trying to install and partitioned my sd card via the recovery menu instead of using the Gparted as i thought this would be quicker.

The rom now loaded but keeps saying that i have no storage space remaining the and phone keeps rebooting to the htc screen. Is this beacuse i didnt do the SD card right? Should i do it again with GParted as told to or is there another problem?

Rastaman-FB

always use gparted, dont use "quicker" alternatives as frankly youll end up using gparted anyway

buddy1983

Ok i'll start again, does this sound like the cause to the problem im having?

Jon_LTD

Got to say - I'm surprised by the amount of people using Sense based Roms. Each to their own etc, but I couldn't imagine going back now! AOSP all the way!
I haven't tried any MIUI but they didn't appeal to me. But I think one day I will dabble for curiosity. That's the beauty of Nandroid I suppose!

SUroot

I tried miui with go launcher just to see what all the other fuss was about. Didnt like it. Didnt like the theming, menus etc...

I like Teppics ROM.. out the box feel look with more memory (A2SD)

I'm running mildwild currently.. mainly as i hear it's good at battery managment.. it's an oxygen rom.. no idea where I should tick on the poll.

SUroot

The letters in the poll are in the wrong order.

But Oxygen is compiled from the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) so thats what you select in the poll

Jon_LTD

I enjoyed Teppic's whilst I had it. I didn't root to rid myself of Sense but expand my memory so it was the ideal choice.
Then I got itchy feet and went for Redux (due to the great reviews) and loved it. And dGB was the obvious "upgrade" from that with no intentions of moving any time soon. I guess the main reason I'm put off of trying new roms out, I'm just too lazy to swap my hboot lol.

Jon_LTD

Yeah, I've seen plenty of videos and screenshots and it just looks a bit too flashy for me. Not appealing to me at all. But I will try it one day just to see it for myself. The battery looks pretty smart development - but I dare say you can obtain something similar from UOT.. I've just never really bothered with it.

DNick

That's what one of the things I love about MIUI. Oh well, it's okay if you're wrong on this. I still respect you. But yeah, after running oxygen for over a month, I went back to MIUI again yesterday, after sorting out my slow phone. I love MIUI, and it feels good to be back on it.

I think sense 3.5 ROMs are really nice.

I have android 4.0 with Go launcher now, but I do miss some of the sense modifications, especially the contacts (FB/Twitter integration) and contacts widget. And I think friend stream is better than what anyone else has...

SUroot

Pure messenger widget is much better than friendstream, although it costs.

Go launcher's contact widget is as good as the HTC one.

jacksonliam

I think its just ICS, it only links with FB and G+ (no twitter, etc) and it doesn't auto-suggest, you have to go through two menus to find the link contact option.

All it really does is place a FB link in profile and copy the picture, but the picture is really low resolution. The GO contact widget looks terrible with the low resolution icons. I think I liked fitting 3 Rows exactly, but GO fits 3 rows + half of the next row, which looks odd to me.

Have you tried the sense 3.5 friendstream? It was a big improvement over previous ones!

I wish the GO message widget just opened the default messaging application when tapping a message, rather than having two interfaces for one job!

Hadron

Android Pro Widgets message widget takes me straight to the thread in my message app. Pure Messenger does with some ROMs, not others.

jayroller

Well, I've been on MIUI-XJ almost constantly since July last year, and to be honest I can't see that changing. I've had a quick go of a few other roms in that time (most recently Mildwild 3.2, and a couple of different ICS roms) but have always ended up restoring my most recent MIUI nandroid...

I know it's not for everyone, but it's deffo for me. And of course, I'm reasonably lazy (and often pushed for time, with a toddler running round!) so the thought of reinstalling my apps, and generally setting stuff up again to my liking also adds to the lure of staying where I am.

Hadron

The first posts of that thread are pretty dense! Been a while since I used MIUI, but you should be able to download directly from Index of /download/xavierjohn22/files/Full_Roms . Pick your release, then choose the version (I'd go A2SD if unsure).

Should be fine for your phone.

webby62

Thanks Hadron,got it on my phone with no problems,certainly different to what im used to but will give a good go,thanks for ur help.

desarenezitic

I am using [ROM] [07.04]MildWild CM-4.2 and it is the first ROM I installed after rooting. Only been running it for less than a week but must say I am impressed.

I really like the look and feel of it, will most probably try others in the future but am going to stick at this for the moment.

Also just to say I am loving being a rooted user and this forum, all the useful guides and FAQ's made rooting painless for me.

Lubalin

Thanks to all the help I'm now running Redux 2.1. Loving it already, largely due to not having to scroll past demos for Monopoly and Bowling in the menu.

I've already fitted more on it than the stock Orange ROM would fit, and I've convinced myself it's running faster (this could be my imagination). Plus the customisable options (eg, home screen control widget) and so much better.

Very happy flasher :-D
