What's Oxygen?
(snippet from AdamG frontpage):
Oxygen ROM is an AOSP source built ROM (ie. not a mod of any sense based ROM), it's minimal, it's superfast and 99.9% bugfree.
After OpenDesire, I wanted to create something unique, as a fellow developer said to me there is no point there being 3 ROMs based around the same code (CM/OD/DF), I grew bored and lost interest in OD because it no longer felt special and it just felt like a race to release the latest CM code against DF, which was 1 pretty lame and 2 damn right depressing. When I initially started OD it was unique and it's popularity grew exponentially as it was the first Froyo AOSP ROM available for the HTC Desire at the time and a real alternative to the dull, dark and nasty HTC bloatware.
Oxygen is not a mod/port of any HTC/CyanogenMod or any other ROM and may not be to everyones liking, it's minimalistic and basic but I'm open to ideas and suggestions for improving the ROM.

How do I Install OxygeN?
This thread made by Benko286, Explains in detail how to install ANY rom on HTC desire, with easy and complex guides Here
Make sure you already have a custom recovery installed
ie: Clockwork or Amon-RA.
Clockwork / Amon-RA
S-OFF?
***Please be aware***
Good news to all pvt4 (different NAND security version of desire) with erasesize 40000 and 20000:
PVT4 can now be S-OFF'd
AlphaRev 1.8 HBOOT reflash utility
How to S-OFF your Desire using the reflash utility - By AndroidGX
http://*******/2GajZ
custom HBOOT for erasesize 40000 and 20000 now available.
To Check erasesize use the adb command below
Code:
adb shell cat /proc/mtd
Output should look like this.
mtd0: 00100000 00040000 "misc"
mtd1: 00480000 00040000 "recovery"
mtd2: 00340000 00040000 "boot"
mtd3: 0fa00000 00040000 "system"
mtd4: 02800000 00040000 "cache"
mtd5: 096c0000 00040000 "userdata"
All models can now be S-OFF'd
What's S-OFF?
Quoated from the alpharev
HTC implemented security on their newer generation phones. This flag, called @secuflag, controls whether your phone has
it's NAND or flash unlocked. Most noticeably, S-ON (security on) will read-lock your /system and /recovery partition, to name a few. Also, secuflag controls whether zip files being flashed through recovery or fastboot, are signed by HTC.
The now notorious S-OFF (security off) will disable this NAND security.
Since we are unable to access the Radio NVRAM itself (where secuflag is stored), we turned our attention to HBOOT.

http://alpharev.nl/
Detailed S-OFF instructions by AndroidGX
Once you have S-OFF'ed you can flash a different partition table Ie: data++, Sense, Stock 1.5 and N1Table.
For Oxygen it is recommended to flash OxygeN HBOOT, Although you can flash data++ and N1table with no problems.
OxygeN HBOOT
Their is now a specific Oxygen HBOOT provided by alpharev.nl.
AdamG: I would like to recommend that people who intend
to use Oxygen as their main ROM use the AlphaRev Oxygen HBOOT,
this is a customized HBOOT specifically for Oxygen and features a
massive /data partition, allowing you to install even more apps
than previously possible.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To install:
Ubuntu :
1) Nandroid backup in recovery. (on your phone)
2) Verify the MD5SUM of the file you downloaded against the one in the table.
Code:
md5sum bravo_alphaspl-oxygen.img
3) Flash Oxygen HBOOT with your phone in fastboot mode (fastboot is a command line program used in the android sdk)
To enter fastboot press = (Back+POWER) -> open up a termon ubuntu or on windows, a CMD shell, then enter the below
Code:
fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl-oxygen.img
(change into the correct filename for the HBOOT you downloaded)
4)Then
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
5)Then
Code:
fastboot erase cache
6)Boot into recovery, flash oxygen-rom, wipe all and Reboot.
Fastboot and ADB Setup Instructions
ADB
ADB setup Windows
Fastboot
Ubuntu Instructions by wddglr
Windows Instructions by mazodude - Even tho this is for Nexus, The process is exactly the same
Ext3 partition removal
With the new OxygeN HBOOT their is no longer a need for ext3 (in fact its slower), So to remove it you will need to download something like Gparted to manage the partition tables on your sdcard.
Delete the ext3 partition and completely reformat the card to fat32
Then install the new Oxygen HBOOT,
Then wipe cache's /all,
Then install OxygeN.
Radio
If your using the Oxygen Hboot you WILL need to flash any radios via fastboot!
Using ADB from either a terminal or command line, enter the below...
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
Remember to extract the radio.img from the .zip before hand!
TIP! = Having the radio.img in the tools folder of the SDK, or wherever your adb program is makes life easy..

Oxygen FAQ
More EXCELLENT answers from MattMan83 - Here
Code:
[COLOR="Green"]Q: How do I use OxygenUpdater[/COLOR]
A: Read this excellent tutorial [URL="http://*******/2Gana"]here[/URL]
Q: [COLOR="Green"]Help I get a FC with ...[/COLOR]
A: Perform a wipe, 99% of the time this solves all problems
Q: [COLOR="Green"]I can't flash any radios, with OxygeN Hboot![/COLOR]
A: If your using the Oxygen Hboot you WILL need to flash any radios via fastboot!
Q: [COLOR="green"]The keyboard doesn't have my locale dictionary[/COLOR]
A: Check the following thread [URL="http://*******/2Gaot"]here[/URL] for an alternative IME
Q: [COLOR="green"]How can I change the stock Launcher[/COLOR]
A: Go to Settings > Apps > Permissions > Clear data for Zeam. Press home, choose Launcher and highlight "use as default" **remember to download another launcher from the market first**
Q: [COLOR='green']Do I need to do a full wipe? [/COLOR]
A: You shouldn't have to if coming from RC7 or DevNull, however if you have any issues with stability or features not working you will be asked to perform a full wipe + reinstall before we can help you.
Q: [COLOR='green']What A2SD does this support? [/COLOR]
A: Oxygen 2.0 supports "froyo style" apps2sd, it also supports A2SD with an EXT3 or EXT4 partition. By default the dalvik cache is not moved to SD for performance reasons - [URL="http://*******/2GapT"]see here[/URL]. D2SD/D2W scripts will work - but please take this up in their respective threads if you have questions to ask.
Q: [COLOR='green']My battery is draining too fast - what the?[/COLOR]
A: This is a peculiarity of GB rom's at this point. Change your wifi settings to never sleep and problem solved - seems a little back to front but it works! (thanks earanor)
Q: [COLOR='green']Why don't some apps show in market - they did before?[/COLOR]
A: In the final release of this ROM the market fingerprint was updated to reflect that you're now running 2.3.3. If an app does not show it means it may not be compatible with Gingerbread - you should contact the App dev regarding this. [URL="http://*******/2Gaq3"]See here[/URL]
Q: [COLOR='green']Why is this missing? [/COLOR]
A: OJ Wake/Track Change/Quiet Hours Google changed alot of the underlying code in the 2.3.3 update which broke a few things. These features are being actively worked on but are currently not functioning - an update will be released at some point to restore these features, but there is no ETA currently. UPDATE - FM Radio is back in 2.0.1 - thanks AdamG
Q: [COLOR='green']Does HTC Sync/ x sense app work with this?[/COLOR]
A: No, and they never will. This is not a HTC ROM - therefore HTC features are not here. Sense apps require massive amounts of framework changes to run and at this point in time it's simply not worth the effort. If you MUST have your sense app - run a sense rom.
Q: [COLOR='green'] My USB transfers are slow/VPN doesn't work? [/COLOR]
A: This is an issue in the latest .37 kernels. Thalamus has kindly updated a .35 kernel to be compatible and is available [URL="http://thalamus.ineige.org/kernels/2.6.35/"]here[/URL]. 2.35.11r5 currently recommended. 2.35.11 build will also fix your VPN - .37 VPN implementation is currently incompatible with Android (thanks _thalamus!)
Q: [COLOR='green']Why can't I see my wireless network?[/COLOR]
A: It's a minor bug in the 2.37.2 kernel launched with Oxygen 2.0.1 - simply update to the latest .37 build[URL="http://thalamus.ineige.org/kernels/2.6.37/"] here[/URL] and all will be resolved. Later releases of Oxygen will include the fixed kernel. (thanks _thalamus).
Q: [COLOR='green']Automatic backlight is too dark - how can i fix?[/COLOR]
A: AdamG posted his fix [URL="http://*******/2Gaqy"]here[/URL] - UPDATE from 2.0.1 auto backlight should be fine so long as you full wipe before install.
Q: [COLOR='green']Where did 720P recording go?[/COLOR]
A: Google did not include 720P recording in the Nexus One 2.3.3 update that AdamG needed to pull video recording from - therefore it's not in here either. Unlike other roms which employ hacks to enable 720P recording, Oxygen is kept clean and hack free to keep your user experience as good as possible. Video quality however IS STILL GOOD! You can't watch 720P back on a Desire screen anyway.
Q: [COLOR='green']Do i need to be S-off or have Oxygen hboot?[/COLOR]
A: No, the rom will work S-on and with any hboot layout. However the recommender set-up is S-off and Oxygen hboot (thanks TheGhost1233)

I have no idea if this will work but worth a go! LINK
But better be safe and Nandroid first!
Also if successful let us know
weird thing about the new market posted above is that if i upgrade it without deleting the old data, it would work fine but if i delete the data of the market, it will begin to fc. it does not happen in the old market. so full wipe + using the new market will certainly fc on me with "requires com.google.android.providers.settings.permission.WRITE_GSETTINGS" in the logcat. this will happen after i accepted the terms and conditions.
Thanks but unfortunately it isn't working, I have allready read the whole forum, all the other post to, and I compared the related files from line to line, caracter to caracter, it is 1:1 like in other roms with working d-pad unlock... but it does not work in 2.3 oxygene:/

The new market is clearly marked under Extras, Its a flashable zip, I actually tested it myself earlier and can confirm its working as intended.
Just boot into recovery, your clockwork mod, and flash just like a rom update!
Hope that helps

Go back into recovery and re-flash the RC2 but make sure you Wipe all caches!
Its needed as a new signed test key is used in this build
Is there to be openvpn client for this Rom?
Thanks.
Do you know if it is possible to get the old 2D Gallery that was in the earlier versions of Oxygen on RC2?
I searched through the main oxygen thread and couldn't find anything.

Just added try it out and let me know
Hi guys,
I'm having a problem:
When I flashed this rom, the homescreen comes and I can login with my gmail account but after that, the phone keeps rebooting. I don't know why. I use a 8gb sd card with 2gb ext4. I only have this problem with Oxygen roms, not with any HD or MIUI roms, but only with the oxygen roms. The oxygen roms are the fastest and best roms, but it keeps rebooting.
Sorry for the bad english.

Thanks I removed Gallery3D and installed the one in the first post and worked fine. The only annoying thing that I've just noticed is that say in launcher pro and you select change icon it puts all the images together instead of showing it in the different folders like it does when you open it up on it's own.
Thanks for uploading it
Thanks for this thread. It would be great if you could add some comments on what each add-on is (e.g gennie widget and black market ??) A link to this post should also be added to main oxygen thread.
Great job!

HI everybody, I found my self a bit experienced in issues which can appear with GB ROMs for DHD (not so experienced to develop) so I can answer your questions in this thread or PM as you like.
For now I don't answer questions about CM* and MIUI* and not likely to answer questions about FroYo ROMS.
What's the wifi scan interval in ARHD 5.1.1?
It seems for me you know the answer?
EDIT: only now understand your question, as i remebmer it didn't change since FroYo, but I can test if you really need to know it..=)
45 Seconds, I honestly didn't know. Had to check myself.
I've got an easy question. how exactly(!) did you get MDJ's V8 kernel on your phone.
step by step, pls
greets and thanks
Thanks for info, honestly never thought about it because used wi-fi only in home/restraunts... so I used it when I need and then turn of..

Thank you so much! I bet, it will be same procedure with everything around here, where everyone simply says "flash it with cwm"?

Would this be a similar process if I wanted to flash a MOD onto my ROM? So if I wanted to flash the Sense 3 lock screen or the CRT effect, would I do it in this way..? So boot phone into recovery and then select the *.zip file?
Cheers.

Nice one! Id flashed to 5.1.1 and then the additional MODs caught my eye and I was just unsure how to flash them.
me too
I'm still on 5.1.0 and checking the possibilities. by now, I'm not keen on flashing the mods, 'cause mike just announced 5.1.2 and i wonder, how long it will take him to make it final. the way he works, it shouldn't be long, so i will be prepared, when he reaches this point and untill that, there's no need for me, to do nothing but flashing my device

Yeah I've just seen this announcement too and now I'm thinking about putting the MOD flashing on hold.
But I have another question, with v5.1.2, because I already have v5.1.1, I wont need to do a full wipe. So does this mean I'll just need to use ROM Manager and install the new ROM from *.zip over the top of the old one?
OR do I use EASY-UPGRADE-WIPE-1.3.zip (instead of FULL-WIPE-1.3.zip) and then flash the ROM.
Also with this method am I right in thinking that I won't lose my contacts/messages/call history etc?
Same here.

Yeah I've just seen this announcement too and now I'm thinking about putting the MOD flashing on hold.
But I have another question, with v5.1.2, because I already have v5.1.1, I wont need to do a full wipe. So does this mean I'll just need to use ROM Manager and install the new ROM from *.zip over the top of the old one?
OR do I use EASY-UPGRADE-WIPE-1.3.zip (instead of FULL-WIPE-1.3.zip) and then flash the ROM.
Also with this method am I right in thinking that I won't lose my contacts/messages/call history etc?

YES, you only must to flash the new rom _(5.1.2) over the 5.1.1 without wipes.
note: the fullwipe.zip is better for people than flash a lot of times, also you can do full wipe from CWM recovery manually.

Q: Which devices does CyanogenMod support from the SGS family of phones?
A: The supported devices are only the GSM variants, including the international I9000, I9000M, I9000T, Captivate (SGH-I897 and SGH-I896), and Vibrant (SGH-T959). If your model number is NOT one of the above phones, including I9000B, Fascinate 3G+ (SGH-T959D), and Vibrant 4G (SGH-T959V), then your device is not supported and these builds will not work on your phones. Please do not attempt to flash any builds as we cannot guarantee that it won't potentially turn your phone into a brick. Look on the wiki for a more complete list of supported and unsupported devices.
Q: How do I root my phone?
A: Please follow the instructions available on the wiki.
Q: How do I install/update CyanogenMod 7 on my Samsung Galaxy S?
A: As we have no stable builds, every nightly comes with the risk that it will not install, will not boot, or will not scratch your eyes out in your sleep. Until a stable build arises, the best chance of getting CyanogenMod is download the latest nightly from the buildfarm, place it on your internal SD card and install through ClockworkMod Recovery (you do not need to use ROM Manager and you will have ClockworkMod Recovery through the root process listed above).
Q: I'm about to update to the latest nightly, what can I expect?
A: Every nightly will likely come with several changes which can be tracked here. Before updating, it is considered a good idea to backup your last known, good configuration. The process for booting into recovery and creating a nandroid backup is covered on the wiki. You are then free to install the latest nightly.
Q: I have installed the latest nightly, but my phone never finishes booting, what do I do?
A: Nightlies come with the expressed possibility that they may not work. If you encounter this, please reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery and restore your last known, good nandroid backup.
Q: How do I restore a nandroid backup if the phone doesn't boot properly?
A: Boot into recovery mode and then follow the instructions from the wiki. Once it's complete, reboot your phone and you should be back to where you were before you attempt to install.
Q: After installing CyanogenMod, I don't have the Android Market or GMail applications, how do I get those on my phone?
A: CyanogenMod does not ship with Google's proprietary apps due to a licensing issue. The latest version of the Google Apps can be found here. Place the zip on your internal SD card and install with ClockworkMod Recovery.
Q: I don't like the default radio that ships with CyanogenMod, where can I find a replacement modem?
A: More modems can be found here. Place the corresponding zip on the SD card and install with ClockworkMod Recovery.
Q: What are some tips for preserving battery life on this ROM?
A: 3G seems to be one of the larger battery drainers, as well as GPS, bluetooth, and wifi. Disabling these will help your battery get through the day.
Q: I tried to disable 3G but the phone enters a loop of force closes that make the phone unusable, how do I fix or prevent this?
A: Because of a bug in the 2G/3G toggle code, this isn't possible without first disabling any active data connections and then enabling them after toggling 2G/3G. If the phone is already force closing, the quickest way to fix it is by performing a factory reset from recovery (you will lose all your apps and settings, unfortunately).
Q: When will third party features like "Voodoo Sound" and "Voodoo Color" be integrated into the kernel?
A: The Voodoo Control App is now compatible with the stock kernel and appears as sound driver version 9. Voodoo color will not be merged, but more pleasing color temperatures have been added to the stock kernel.
Q: I don't like the softkeys along the bottom lighting up whenever I have a notificiation (aka LED notifications), how do I disable them?
A: Open Settings, CyanogenMod settings, Interface, LED notifications, Miscellaneous, and then select the apps you want to disable LED notifications for and select "None" as the flash color option.
NOTE: This has been disabled on any nightlies after nightly 15, until a more favorable global solution can be found, as we do not have an RGB notification LED and just a simple on/off LED.
Q: I think I found a bug, how do I report it?
A: Short answer, you don't. Because we have no stable builds, we run what are called nightlies. Bug reporting for CyanogenMod does not allow the reporting of bugs on nightlies as they are considered unstable at best (and phone destroying at worst). Basically, you will "have to live with it" until we have a stable build.
Q: I see a lot of people running different themes, where can I get these?
A: CyanogenMod ships with the T-Mobile Theme Engine integrated, search the Android Market for "theme engine" or browse the forums for themes. Install the application and run the "Theme Chooser" application and select the theme you'd like. Reboot the phone to fully apply the theme.
Q: I miss the video player/music player/contacts/phone/launcher application from Samsung ROM's, how can I install these?
A: You cannot. Many (if not all) of those applications have specific hooks into Samsung's framework which do not exist on this ROM. There are plenty of market alternatives available.
Q: I want to go back to another ROM, but when I try to restore a nandroid backup of another ROM, it doesn't boot... what did I do wrong?
A: Because this ROM is set up to use the MTD partition layout instead of Samsung's BML partition layout, you must use ODIN or heimdall with a full firmware including a PIT file and repartition.
Q: Why can't I see the latest nightlies on ROM Manager? Will I always have to download manually to install updates?
A: Access to nightlies requires a ROM Manager premium license for the convenience (you should consider buying the license anyway, as Koush had a strong hand in helping us merge to mainline). These are the same files from the link earlier, ROM Manager is just a convenience. Once a stable release is available, you can download without a premium license from the "stable" section. Be sure to update ROM manager to say your recovery is Galaxy S (MTD) with ClockworkMod 3.x (it will give you a warning about it not being supported, ignore it and say ok) and then reboot your phone. Check under "Download ROMs" and the nightlies should appear.
Q: The phone turns on whenever I plug it in, is there any way to prevent this?
A: For now, unfortunately, no. Low power mode isn't supported in the kernel right now, and may be implemented in future builds.
Q: How do I get GTalk to work with the Front Facing Camera?
A: Video chat requires a specific version of GTalk which is only available in a Google Apps package with a date of 05032011 and later. This version of Google Apps is not shareable through the mirror system as it only works on neon boards (aka Galaxy S/Nexus S). A quick google search will yield the results you need.
Q: How do I enter download mode?
A: The use of the "adb reboot download" command isn't functional yet. The only method to enter download mode right now the standard "three finger salute" (or a USB jig).
Q: I inserted my external SD card and CyanogenMod tells me the card is damaged or corrupt and needs to be formatted, what should I do?
A: Some cards (especially 16 GB and larger) seem to be behaving oddly and are incompatible with the current builds. Please try another card and be careful formatting through android. Android/CM7 is hard-wired to think there is only ever one SD card and may actually format your internal SD card, this will hopefully be resolved sooner rather than later.
NOTE: This should be fixed by nightly 15 and later.
Q: I can't seem to find the files from the external SD card on /mnt/sdcard/external_sd, where are they located?
A: Because of how we have implemented it, the external SD card is located at /mnt/emmc now. This allows it to still be scanned by the Media Scanner.
Q: Where can I get the Nexus S drivers for use with adb? (Windows Only)
A: Download and install the Android SDK here then download "Google USB Driver package, revision 4"
Once downloaded, right click on "Computer", "Manage", "Device Manager", "Nexus S", "Update Driver Software", and point it to wherever you installed the SDK.
Q: Do I really need to be on Froyo to install this ROM?
Q: I'm already on Gingerbread from Samsung, why do I have to downgrade before installing?
A: Samsung included new bootloaders in the Gingerbread updates that are incompatible with CyanogenMod 7. They break a number of things including, but not limited to, graphical distortion at boot time and broken external SD card. To fix this would require reworking the entire kernel to be based off of Samsung's code drop instead of the far more open (and better written) Nexus S source code. If you don't like it, complain to Samsung for introducing new bootloaders.
Q: I have a Bell Vibrant (I9000M), where can I find modems that support my radio frequencies?
A: The Captivate and the Bell Vibrant use the same radio frequencies, as well as several other Galaxy S devices, and therefore any modem designed to work with the Captivate will work with the I9000M. All of the Captivate modems available here should work without any issues (with the exception of KB1, which should not be used except on a Captivate for a number of reasons--in short, it is broken and only there for people with a hardware defect that does not exist in the I9000M).

well this looks interesting!
hmmmmm it is
@ boyppc
its nice to you on Galaxy S forum
I have always loved your work on HTC HD2 Forum
THANKS a lot for the ROMs
Cheers
boyppc-shiftpda galaxy MIUI V2 update
i couldn't download with both your links !!
now it's ok
but what is the diffrence between tow links in miui v2 ? clean ?
prerequisites
I am on doc kitchen ROM version 2.3.3 xxjvk. To install your MIUI ROM on galaxy S do I need to flash a different firmware first or just install it through recovery?
if only this can play divx encoded mkv files, i would definitely use this rom.
thanks though.... looks awesome!
First of all...Wow. Just from the screenshots I am inpressed.
I have been looking for a customized CM7 and hopefully your Rom is the answer to my quest.
One other thing I noticed while having a quick look. You say that FM is working in your features? If this is based on CM7 then this is one huge step forward for the people asking for it (I never use it myself so...).
Downloading the CM7 version and will give both of them a try.
K.

Hi,
Due to the demand of work related to this thread in the vibrant section I have needed to suspend all updates in this ROM thread. However due to the simplicity and ease of transition from vibrant to Galaxy S if there are features that members like from the vibrant thread made into a ROM for Galaxy S please PM me. I am a Galaxy S owner and all of my testing is done on my device and translated to Vibrant so it is actually quite easy for me to do, however it is not easy maintaining updates to two ROMs and two threads.

First step before install & kernel switch:
Always have this cleaning script on your internal SD card ready
If you're
- switching kernels,
- have issues with auto-rotation,
- the cam,
- bootloops
- want to remove init script
- recover from a failed overclock attempt
please give either:
- lippol94's updated cleaning script (apply via CWM recovery): http://www.multiupload.com/XFH1GCK4MB
or
- WiwiPouPou's SYSTEM CLEANER SCRIPT (also apply via CWM recovery): (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14805606&postcount=21739)
a try
the kernel already applies some cleaning steps during install but sometimes that's not enough ...

Here is the build.prop details
I can tell you how to make your phone read Samsung in the build.prop, but you will need more than that.
The phone needs to be seen as Gingerbread version SGS. I have it as JVT because that is what I was on
I have kept part of the OneCosmic build label in the build name for my phone….because it is not the same as the download being RC3.1....and people need to know that (I never related to why before..I always thought it was for a label for recognition, but it helps devs support those experiencing issues - heck no use asking OneCosmic why your particular device cant download apps from samsung apps or stalls on install when trying to install an apk). I have my name as enhancement of MyUI and RC3.1 combinations (To note here this build is more RC3 build that it is MyUiICS. So reversed the order Me-> MyUI ->RC3.1 with final prototype name relating to initial port being the suffix final reference. If I were Japanese I would have reversed it LOL
It also needs to be a Samsung and GT-I9000 in those details and not the test keys code name or else Samsung apps will deny download or say your device is not supported. All apks that are existing that you may already have also check for framework when installing. That being said you *could* AFAIK edit xml in each of the apks to not check for twframework, but that would be rather time consuming
You will need the jar file for Touchwiz.4 and twframework.apk at minimum.
Then you are going to need an XML file in permissions for touchwiz
Path location
system\etc\permissions\
Tag: touchwiz.xml
Code
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<permissions>
<library name="touchwiz" file="/system/framework/twframework.jar"/>
</permissions>
This enables the framework apk to be utilised and for the device to be recognised when the samsung apps application does a check like a license file check. When it sees that its touchwiz (proprietory Samsung framework) and that it has the check details matching SGS and latest version it will allow you to download apks.
But for what its work just download the ROM and give it a try, I think you will find that its much more improved compared to RC2 that’s for sure! I noticed the improvements, mainly the ROM. Plus you have MTP, enhanced connection for 3G via the script load at boot as well as strengthened GPS (via XML) but can totally understand why you would want to do it your self. It’s the learning that makes the difference isn't it? Good luck with it.
dang. i got the required files from another thread and made the changes and hey presto! bootloops.

XDA PRESENTS:
THE FAIRY TAIL NOVEL
*,*'Reflections From Personal Disaster*,*
AND...
returning back from
'THE BOOTLOOPS OF HELL!!!'
- CWR MANAGER BEST PRACTICES 101 -
The response:
oooh ouch. Yeah mine doesn't bootloop. You need to get it right and you will learn from this no doubt (and I'm not being a smart arse here either).
The issue:
I think that there is an amount of "sensitivity" with doing things via recovery compared to rootexplorer'ing things to get it done. It's usually a permissions issue in the files them selves. Check your permissions.
The learning:
My recommendation to you would be to always keep a SD card reader handy You could (if you haven't taken a nandroid backup cause you were confident - trust me i have done it) always use your ext SD card to load a new ROM (say this one for instance ) boot into CWM and then flash from SD card and your back cooking with gas. If you continued issues because your Nand md5 is missmatched (different kernels or something?) then you could flash to an earlier base kernel (I have done this - trust me again) restore 'system' only (and leaving your data as is)if your back to the base kernel and you can roll back the system to of the ROM to the same kernel and your data will be fine (with the exception of all apps2SD you did will be goneski) but.....the phone will boot and your data will be there. Do a CWM backup of the nice "rolled back ROM" with your data all there and a sigh of relief.
I did this rolling back from RC3 to RC1 after kernel issues with RC2.
Then flash confidently your new ROM...(wipe or no wipe - I would recommend wipe at this stage and I will explain why) then restore data from the new recent CWM back up and your on your new ROM with the restored data as if you did a non-wipe install
The solution:
For you right now (so its not all in hindsight like 'Oh well thats great that can't help me now only in the future ' ) you have the power to excuse my pun "BACK TO THE FUTURE III" michael J fox styles
At the very least do a nandroid right now even with system kaput and ****ty bootloops just for the sake of keeping your data.
Then when you flash and getting back on a clean "base" and restore data from this ****ty recovery you've taken and name it appropriately too - something like 17-01-12_ICS_RC_RC_datagain (who would use a naming convertion like that? ME! Date->ICS (for the sake of knowing the system you were on at the time cause you ain't needing it at all) RC....as you'd expect, RC again for "REALLY CRAP" and datagain cause you'd only retain it to gain access to your data LOL)
You may laugh at that but think about it...you don't wana make the silling mistake of seeing a bunch of backups with no unique identifiers (yes you - your the one that needs to uniquely identify the backup from all others that you have no idea what they were) "2011-11-05.15.31.46" and get a diget wrong or backwards looking at your cool bring blue recovery text in sized 2.5 system font and restore "2011-11-05.15.13.46" which happens to be bootloop central and then accidently restore it and think WTF did do wrong?
So then delete the CWM backup (the ****ty RC_RC_datagain one) off your SD (saves space) and THEN take a breath then a break fresh backup of new RC3.1 with the now existing data - it will keep a nice save point.
I make a habit of doing this every time just before I flash a ROM and just after once I know everything stable. As time goes I routinely go to clockwork on SD and blow away older non needed backups of ROMs. I had 3 backups of RC1 with restored apps and blank base etc etc. Keep the best of the ones and clear the rest.
The recommendations:
This is why the CWM app by chainfire is so brilliant. It allows to you input your own "meta-data" about the backup entry into the header of the backup. i.e. standard CWM from boot doesn't it asigns a default date and time string and nothing to uniquely identify your backup. In CWM it allows you to asign your own title.
For good practice. Prefix date then ROM, kernel then status. e.g 17-01-12_ICSRC3_1_Plat_fully restored*
*fully restored indicating all apps back up, all links from UI to apps on SD, all contacts, all messages etc.
Full factory data reset for a complete wipe and fresh install would get an suffix of "base". i.e 17-01-12_ICSRC3_1_Plat_base*
*base would mean a clean base to get to if you need to
Something to note here is that having a base is sometimes a good starting or flashing point if you ever need go back an increment without needing to redo multiple ROMS and kernels. Like needing to go back to JVT, then CM7 and the RC1 then RC3 is a hassle. If you had a clean base of RC2 you can always run kernel cleaning script, flash fresh kernel of the ROM that you had for RC2 and then do a full restore of the backup base from RC2 and you have a fresh RC2 ROM. Then restore data from there.....from your latest backup.
Following good practices like this ensures you don't get some sort of remaining fragments of a past ROM interfering with your release upgrade ;-)
So many devs and ROM'er have the default "Oh well you should have taken a nandroid backup dude not my problem do a wipe and start again" leaving users half in tears and not really taking the time to share ways that they could help or fix things?
My App package will include CWM1.80 for everyone to use just for this purpose. Make sure you give thanks to the dev for this if you use it! It's a flashers saviour!
PS: If you want you can periodically transfer clockwork backups to a PC for safe keeping and you have all the header metadata to be able to identify them by - trust me I have at times flashed back in yonder to restore an old backup of a ROM to obtain something I wanted (SMS/MMS or what ever) and flash back again hahaha (I now have tools on my PC for extraction of this sort of info if needs be).

The main reason I haven't jumped on the ICS bandwagon is that I like Samsung framework, so I am totally interested in this. I realize that this is not true Touchwiz (the TW4 launcher probably won't work) but at least I can have ICS and most of my Samsung apps. Samsung music player working? The camera app?

What phone do you have and what region are you in? The ROMs I have uploaded are for what I see as the most popular modems that people are using.
If you tell me the details I will tell you which link and if needs be I will link you to a secondary modem file to flash if your phone region isn't suited to the ROM.
JVT seems the most common though for "general use" (Edit: I just realised I haven't uploaded my JVT ROM lol ooops! Ahh crapola my Dropbox is at max capacity that why grrr) but if you want awesome battery power maybe something else is better suited I'll check when I get home for you in half hour
Here are the list of modems you can choose from to flash
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158783
If you have a plain Galaxy S and your on 850mhz network flash the first one and try it. If you have a plain galaxy S and on normal network flash second one and then one from that list....or just the JVT one that will upload when I get home after clearing some rubbish out of my drop box
How did u add facebook sync?!

I was hesitating to jump on ICS for a long time because of no Touchwiz... Cause of native video calling and samsung apps.... But i some how started using ICS without those.. Now that you are trying to bring touch wiz features or port tw4 completely to ICS.. I am all in smiles and have high hopes...
Does this support native video calling?.. If not, Do you plan to bring TW4 with native video calling to ICS RC3.1?..
Thank you very much for your effort and all the best for your future work too...

Before doing anything:
►Always start the procedures with 80% - full charge battery (if your battery die during the process, you can still go Mcgyver)
►Make a backup of your apk's (using Titanium Backup for example) and a nandroid backup from recovery.
►If you have any problem, don't blame CyanogenMod Team, Quarx, Epsylon3, the FAQ or whatever. This ROM works (except the known bugs), if it's not working for you, it's mostly because you used wrong versions or are doing something wrong.

► What builds are "2ndBoot"?
24.09 builds and before ► Normal Builds
10.10 builds and after ► 2ndBoot Builds
► Is this ROM for Defy (MB525) or Defy+ (MB526)?
For 2ndBoot Builds:
Both, since Quarx’s "2nd boot” builds we have a universal build with custom kernel supporting all Defy variants (Defy Green Lens, Defy Red Lens and Defy+). This means that the same .zip file works on the Defy green lens, Defy red lens and Defy+.
For PRE 2ndBoot Builds:
Defy Green Lens ► Froyo Kernel ► CM10-2012XXXX-NIGHTLY-mb525.zip
Defy Red Lens ► Gingerbread Kernel ► CM10-2012XXXX-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip
Defy+ ► No Kernel Needed ► CM10-2012XXXX-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip
Don't know if you got green or red lens? Click here.
► I don't have CM10 and I want to install it, how can I do that?
Pre-steps:
► Your phone has to be roooted.
► If this is the first time you install a custom rom (if you have stock froyo) you'll have to root your phone, install 2nd init (custom recovery), and some other things.

► Download all the files that you need and put them on the sdcard.
► Charge your phone until you have 80-100% battery.
► Make a backup of your apps and a nandroid backup of your rom (everything you have on your phone will be deleted).
For 2nd Boot Builds
1) Go to Custom Recovery.
2) Wipe data/factory reset, wipe Cache and go to Advanced ► Wipe dalvik.
3) Go to install zip from sdcard ► Choose zip from sd card.
4) Flash CM10-********-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip

5) Flash Gapps.
6) Wipe Cache and Dalvik again (recommended).
7) Restart.
Note: Sometimes you'll have to remove the battery and restart the phone.
For MB526 and PRE 2ndBoot Builds
1) Go to Custom Recovery.
2) Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and go to advanced ► Wipe dalvik.
3) Go to Install zip from sdcard ► Choose zip from sd card.
4) Flash gb Kernel (JUST FOR DEFY RED LENS USERS).

8) Restart.
A little FAQ extracted from the Wiki for some 2nd Boot Builds doubts:
Where is the Package for Defy (MB525) ?
From 2ndBoot Release there is only 1 package for both Defy & Defy+.
Do I have to install the Custom Kernel separately ?
No, the Nightly Zip already includes the Custom Kernel, but there might be a newer kernel released without nightly. i.e. there is a never kernel (update_for_11.10_v2.zip for 11.10 build)
Must we change the Boot sequence to 2ndBoot in 2ndInit ?
No, the Upgrade does this for you.
Is a Data Wipe required ?
Only if you are coming from builds other than CM10 (Quarx's). There is no harm in doing a Data Wipe otherwise also.
My phone lags after Boot up.
Its a bug in the Custom Kernel. To solve just turn off Wifi/Internet, Screen Lock & keep idle for a couple of mins.
► I already have CM10 and I want to upgrade to a newer nightly, how can I do that?
Automatic update: (Using Defy ROM Updater)
1) Go to Settings ► About phone ► Additional system updates OR open Defy ROM Updater directly from the app drawer.
2) Tap Check for updates.
3) Select the newer version.
4) Select Start Download.
5) When the download finishes, install it.
Manual update:
1) Go to Recovery
2) Wipe Cache and Dalvik
3) Flash the last .zip file.
4) Flash gapps (just if you have a newer version of gapps, otherwise, this step is optional)
4.1) (ONLY DEFY RED LENS WITH PRE 2ND BOOT BUILDS) Flash battery fix (if you don't, the battery meter will display 1%)
5) Wipe Cache and Dalvik (this is also optional)
6) Restart.
► Is this ROM stable and ready for daily use?
Yes. In fact it's stable as CM7. Make a backup and try it by yourself.
► What's the difference between Quarx and Epsylon3 versions?
The new "2ndBoot” builds with custom kernel are avaible only from Quarx.
There weren’t recent updates from Epsylon lately, so if you want recent updates, and custom kernel improvements use Quarx’s builds.
NOTE: Always use the last version!
► Can I flash an Epsylon3's build over a Quarx's one without wiping data?
Yes, you can. Just follow the steps as if you were upgrading from a previous nightly. I didn't test coming from Eppy's to Quarx. EDIT: You can also flash Quarx builds over an Epsylon one without wiping data.
► What is full HWA? Is this a good thing?
This article explains everything:
"...Contrary to what we’ve always heard, Android has had some hardware acceleration for drawing 2D UI elements since before 1.0. Many of the animations we see every day on Android have been hardware accelerated the whole time. All “window compositing” is done using GPU-based hardware rendering.
Since Android 4.0 we have “full” hardware acceleration. All UI elements in windows, and third-party apps will have access to the GPU for rendering. Android 3.0 had the same system, but now developers will be able to specifically target Android 4.0 with hardware acceleration. Google is encouraging developers to update apps to be fully-compatible with this system by adding the hardware acceleration tag in an app’s manifest.
But hardware accelerated drawing is not all full of win. For example on the PVR drivers of devices like the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus, simply starting to use OpenGL in a process eats about 8MB of RAM. Given that our process overhead is about 2MB, this is pretty huge. That RAM takes away from other things, such as the number of background processes that can be kept running, potentially slowing down things like app switching..."
► So, CM10 has full HWA? How can I enable it?
Thanks to the work of our developers on CM9, we have full HWA since the first alpha of CM10. HWA is enabled by default on CM10, so you don't have to do anything. However, you can select in which apps you want to enable it, with the HWA Selector, this app is preinstaled in all nightlys and it's easy to use.
► I'm on CM10 and a lot of apps give me FC and don't work properly
Make sure you have done a correct and clean instalation. Try wiping cache and dalvik.
► Why Google Now doesn't work for me? Why I just get regular google search?
That's related to the country you come from
USA ► pictures, knowledge graph, etc.
All the rest ► only normal google answers you also got from the website.
One solution is: In the search app, press Menu ► Go to Settings ► Privacy and accounts ► Search on google.com (activate this) and Location & Google search (deactivate this).
If this doesn't work, set your phone language to English.
► Why are some apps duplicated?
Make sure you flash the lastest Gapps or use a file explorer for root (as Root Explorer), go to system/app and delete duplicated apps (gallery and camera are more common)
► Why can I use Defy+ (MB526) builds on Defy (MB525) with red lense and what are the advantages? thanks to G00fY2
Because Defy+ has same camera as normal Defy with red lense, you can use its Gingerbread kernel and the MB526 builds. With green lense Defy you have to use Froyo kernel and MB525 builds to have working camera. But beside the use of 4 instead of 3 Vsel CPU steps there are no real advantages in using GB kernel. Both are based an 2.6.32.9 Linux kernel. Also you have to install a seperate battery fix, when using Defy+ build with normal Defy, because it has different battery size.
► I lose my data connection every time, is this error related to this rom?
No, it's a common bug related to others roms too. Check this post.
► I've just installed a new rom, and my battery indicator suddenly drops, is this a bug? Do I have to re calibrate it?
That's not a bug. Battery always show wrong percentajes when you flash a new rom. Wiping battery stats will not make any difference.
The solution is simple: You don't have to do anything. Charge your phone to 100% and wait one cicle of charge. Your battery stats will correct automatically. Your system always automatically "wipe" the stats when you charge your phone.
► How can I overclock and undervolt my Defy? And what are the advantages?
You can make your phone faster and your battery last longer. Check this article.
► I have problems with WiFi connections, my network get disconnected.
Make sure you don't have the "Avoid poor connections" option enabled. Go to Settings ►WiFi, press the menu button ►Advanced and uncheck Avoid poor connections.
► How can I change the DPI and keep play store compatibility? NEW
You'll need an file explorer. I recommend Root Explorer
1) Open Root Explorer
2) Go to /system and make sure that in the top says "Mount R/O". That means that the /system is mounted as R/W.
3) Long press on build.prop
4) Open with ► Text Editor
5) Scroll down until you see this line
Code:
ro.sf.lcd_density=240
and change that number for anyone that you want. You can try different numbers, I recommend 220, or 200.
This is how the line should be:
Code:
ro.sf.lcd_density=200
6) Menu ► Save changes.
7) That's it, when you reboot the resolution will be changed.
IMPORTANT: In order to fix the market compatibility, go to stable recovery and flash the right patch. DOWNLOAD

yes, but the op of that thread just have the instalation instructions. The idea is post here the same questions that are asked over and over in the development thread.
I did this for helping some users, and i'm sure some of them will find this useful.

Very nice!
Just some corrections:
5) Flash CM9 Kernel (JUST FOR DEFY RED LENS USERS)
5) Flash CM7 Kernel

Never flash a kernel after the ROM, Epsylon said this long time ago, because you can revert some changes made in the ROM. You just have to flash the kernel BEFORE the ROM.
- Why are some apps duplicated?
Click to expand...

This happens when you flash and old version of Gapps, if you flash latest versions this bug is not present.
And something i want to add to the OP:
If you flash this ROM on Multiboot (on your SD card) you WILL experience lag, flash it as main system before come here to complain about that.
Thank you for your work!

On the other hand, when I tried to do it without the data wipe, the OS was very slow and applications stopped responding often. After wiping it completely, it's fast and snappy. So YMMV a lot, and I recommend using SMS Backup and Restore[ and doing the factory reset.

F.A.Q. for CM10 Jelly Bean on Motorola Defy and Defy+
- How to update from previous nightly's?
1) Go to recovery
2) wipe cache and dalvik
3) flash the last .zip file
4) flash gapps
5) wipe cache and dalvik
6) restart
Make sure you flash the lastest gapps or use a file explorer for root (as Root Explorer), go to system/app and delete duplicated apps (gallery and camera are more common)

no need to flash gapps every time update the nightly
or put a (....) and write "only you have an update for it"
a noob will flash a gapps every time update the nightly
ps. to many wipe cahe and dalvik
one on the begining is enough
Anyone knows why my wi-fi does not work properly?
I just do everything that the first post says but but I only managed to connect once. It took about 30 minutes to connect and disconnect after 20 minutes.
Maybe got somethin' with WPA2.

i will clarify that, but that's the process that i've followed since my first cm7 builds (wipe before restarting) and NEVER have any problem with fc or bootloops or anything like that.

this is just a faq, if you have a question that's not answered here, post it.
vaserbanix is right, no gapps needed. Never hearded about this when just updating to new build, cause the will stored in \data not system.
Also you should add links Epsylons download link and links to kernels, battery fix and so on. Maybe the best way, is to just link to [Support] - [JB] CM10 Android 4.1.1 for the Defy(+) for questions about installation.
Maybe an other good point for FAQs:
Why can I use Defy+ (MB526) builds on Defy (MB525) red lense and what are the advantages?
Because Defy+ has same camera as normal Defy with red lense, you can use its Gingerbread kernel and the MB526 builds. With green lense Defy you have to use Froyo kernel and MB525 builds to have working camera. But beside the use of 4 instead of 3 Vsel CPU steps, and possibility for 720p recording there are no real advantages in using GB kernel. Both are based an 2.6.32.9 Linux kernel. Also you have to install a seperate battery fix, when using Defy+ build with normal Defy, because it has different battery size.

porhaps is only my opinion but the GB2.3.6 kernel is most stable on overcklok than froyo kernel
froyo kernel was made for Defy red/ green and cloked to 800mhz and it run to1000mhz
up on that value it give more restarts then GB2.3.6 wich i took it to 1.3ghz without problem
maybe is wrong my opinion but i test its with many rom's

Hello Wildfire S users !
Here is the guide of the Marvellous Team, the ultimate guide that describes everything you need o play with your phone. There are many tutorials on the web about how to unlock, how to install a recovery or a rom, but none of them explains all these operations. So here, you'll learn first a few things about how Android works, you'll learn a few words of vocabulary, how to unlock, how to choose the best recovery and how to flash it, how to choose the rom you'll prefer and how to ask questions and report errors.
I just say, sorry if this tutorial lacks vocabulary and is not grammatically correct : I'm not English, I'm French, and I'm not really good in English
SUMMARY
Post #1 : Explanations, disclaimer, summary
Post #2 : Unlocking process
Post #3 : Choosing and installing your recovery
Post #4 : Choosing and installing your ROM
Post #5 : Good rules when using the forum, how to help the developer
DISCLAIMER
I am not responsible for anything that can happen to you or your phone. Everything that I say in this tutorial worked for me, and if you do everything as I say, there is no reason for you to brick your phone.
If something happens to your phone, do not even try to blame me, cause I will redirect you to this disclaimer and laugh at you
SOME EXPLANATIONS ABOUT ANDROID
Okay, let' start unlocking your phone. But do you know exactly what unlocking your phone means ?
Here are some explanations about how Android works.
First, when you power on your device, it will start the bootloader. This is like the BIOS for a PC : it checks the processor, the RAM (memory),, and it launches the system. You don't see anything at the screen when it boots, because it is quite fast. You can boot into bootloader without going to the system next by pressing Power + Volume Down (you'll maybe have to remove and replug the battery before doing that).
What's the point of booting into bootloader ? You can go then into fastboot and recovery. Fastboot is a tool that will allow you to flash some things on the unlocked phone, like another recovery, or another kernel.
The recovery is the tool you'll use the most when playing with your phone : it is like a micro-system that can modify the real Android system. For example, it is the tool you'll use when flashing roms : you can't modify the system when you're already into the system ; if you delete all Windows system files to replace them with other files, your system will crash and your PC will not boot
I spoke about the kernel. The kernel is launched by the bootloader ; it will load all the modules that are necessary for Android to work, for example the touchscreen driver, the RAM allocator, and alll. You can see when the kernel is working at boot because you have HTC written in green over a white background.
You'll need to know that for the next steps of the tutorial.

SUPPORT
As you may have heard, the Marvellous Team is about to end. thehacka1 and djolivier already have new devices. Mazer.one, Kevinjoa and I will probably get new devices soon (maybe in few months for me, I still hesitate between Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy Mega).
I will however still maintain this thread, reading the answers, modifying what needs to be modified, etc. If you see I do not reply, don't worry, I'm certainly overwhelmed by work (I entered the French equivalent of college this year and I must work a lot) I will surely read your question and answer it, even if it isn't immediately. Moreover, other people of the forums will certainly answer you too
So, let's unlock your phone !
Unlocking your phone allows you to bypass the protection on the recovery and system partitions that HTC put. With an unlocked phone, you can use fastboot to flash a recovery (because the original recovery doesn't allow the user to flash anything).
Be careful ! Unlocking doesn't give you access to everything ! You can't modify the bootloader, the radio (part of the system that manages communications with network) and all the important thins of the phone. To modify these, you need to get S-OFF, and that's another problem
WHAT IS YOUR MODEL ?
There are several models of Wildfire S. The most common are marvel and marvelc. To know if you are marvel, just go intoo About phone section, you should find your model name. If it is A510e, it is marvel. If it is A510c, it is marvelc. This part of the guide is made for marvel, do not try to do these steps with a marvelc ! But the part with the choice of your rom and how to report bugs is okay for both models.
If you have a marvel, you maybe have a 2012 model. You can know that with your serial number, that should be also in the about phone section. You should have something that begins with two letters and then you should have a digit. If this is 2, you have a 2012 model and may have some problems with the unlocking process. Go directly to the part HTC Official Unlock.
INSTALL HTC DRIVERS
To unock your phone, you'll need your computer to recognize it. The best way is to install HTC Sync which automatically provides HTC drivers.
You can find HTC Sync here.
You can also download only the drivers, for example the Win7/8 64 bits version with this tutorial.
UNLOCKING WITH SIMON'S HTC UTILITY v4
So, if you have a marvel, AND NOT A 2012 MODEL, I propose you to unlock it using simon's HTC Utility (it should work too with marvelc, but I didn't test). This tool can be found here. This is pretty easy to use, even if you'll need the .NET framework to launch the program. If you do not have a marvelc, use only the unlocking feature !!!
HTC OFFICIAL UNLOCK
If you have a 2012 model, or if HTC Utility doesn't work for you, you can always try HTC Unlock method. It will work 100% but you will lose your warranty AND all your data. So, before doing anything, download SMS Backup & Restore and Super Backup and make a backup of everything.
Then go to this page, select your device and start the procedure.
Here is a guide written by @Uksus17 and translated by @niks255 :
0. Check your bootloader version in fastboot:
- If you have HBOOT 0.90.0000 - start with step 1.1.
- If you have HBOOT 1.09.0000, 1.08.0000 (or 1.03.0000) -
download and flash PG76IMG.zip via fastboot.
- If you have HBOOT 1.09.0099 - start with step 3.
1.1. Download this zip and put it to your SD card. (http://d-h.st/QwN)
1.2. Reboot your phone into bootloader (VolDown+Power) and when the checking is done press VolUp to install. After installation you must remove this file from your SD card before you continue.
2.1. Do steps 1.1 and 1.2 again with this second zip (it has the same name as the previous, but it's a different one) PG76IMG.zip. After all these steps you must have HBOOT 1.08(9).0099, which can be unlocked. (http://d-h.st/kGN)
3. Download and unpack Android.zip to your C:\ drive.
4. Make sure "USB Debugging" is checked. If it is, connect your phone to PC via USB and run Unlock.bat from Android folder on your C:\ drive.
5.1. Your phone will reboot into fastboot.
5.2. Now you will have htcdev.com opened in your browser. Now you need to register there. (Do not close command line!)
5.3. Confirm your email.
5.4. After you done step 5.3, go back to htcdev.com and log in.
6. Then go back to command line and press Enter. You must select the token the way it is selected on the picture below and copy to clipboard. DO NOT CLOSE COMMAND LINE!

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
7. Go back to your browser, scroll to step 10 and paste your token in form, then click submit.
8. After a while you should recieve Unlock_code.bin on your email. Save it to C:\Android.
9. Go back to command line and press Enter.
10. Now choose yes using volume buttons and power button. CAREFUL ! this operation wipes all data on internal memory, for the second time pleaase make sure you made a backup !!! (it doesn't wipe the sd card).
Good. Now, your bootloader should print *UNLOCKED*
Now let's do he real part of the job, what this tutorial has been made for.
CHOOSE YOUR RECOVERY
The choice of the recovery is very important. For the Wildfire S A510e, there are a lot of available recoveries :
ClockWorkMod 5, 6 and 6 Touch Version
TWRP 2.2.2.0 and 2.3.3.0
OWL-mod 0.1.2 (based on ClockWorkMod).
These recoveries usually are also available for non-marvel models, you can find a link to the other versions in the thread. But DO NOT TRY TO FLASH ON YOUR DEVICE A RECOVERY THAT ISN'T MADE FOR IT ! Meaning, if you want to try ClowkWorkMod 6 Touch Version, but you have a marvelc, do not flash the marvel version. Look for the marvelc version of the Internet. You could brick your device doing this
So, every recovery has a lot of advantages and also a lot of drawbacks. I will list them here.
CWM 5
It can be found here.Take the Wildfire S CDMA version for marvelc.
It is a good recovery, usually the one that everybody use. It is not a touch recovery, so you'll need to use it with volume keys and power button.
It doesn't have amazing features, but is official and working.
CWM 6
This is the newest version of ClockWorkMod recovery. It is better than CWM 5 : support of incremental backups, lighter and faster backups, new interface, etc.
You can find it here.
This one is pretty well working too, although it is not a touch recovery and even if it is not official.
CWM 6 Touch version
Like CWM 6, but using the touchscreen : better for the power button which is not made for a huge use.
The problem is that this one isn't very stable : some features do not work, the screen is strangely sized. Use it only if you want to try, but not if you just want stability.
You can find it here.
TWRP 2.2.2.0
It is another touch recovery, open source and absolutely different. It is less used and is perfectly stable. It has many more features than CWM, especially a file manager (very, very handy when you want to mod some system things without your PC).
I love it, but there is just one problem with the backups and restores : they take (for me at least) 5 more time than CWM ones. If you do not often backup/restore, that is OK, else you'll quickly get bored of waiting 30 minutes before flashing your rom.
TWRP 2.2.2.0 can be downloaded here.
TWRP 2.3.3.0
This was the latest version of TWRP available for the Wildfire S. You can download it on this website.
It is better than TWRP 2.2.2.0 but has a major problem : it cannot flash some old files. That's quite annoying when you want to try a rom and you see you can't because the rom zip file is too old :/
TWRP 2.7.0.0
This is the latest version of TWRP, built by @Olivier for our phone. It is definitely pretty cool, has loads of features and nearly no bugs. You can find it here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2692158.
Like TWRP 2.3.3.0, it cannot flash some old files :/
OWL-mod 0.1.2
This recovery has been made especially for the Wildfire S. For now, it is pretty like CWM 6, with a few mods. But the next version looks very interesting
Here is the thread.
PhilZ recovery 6.0.2.8
Here is PhilZ recovery, a recovery which looks very much like CWM 6.0.2.8 but has some nice features. Here is the non-touch version : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2605331.
Then, I let you choose, try some of them and see by yourself
FLASH YOUR RECOVERY
That's easy if your bootloader is unlocked.
Download Android SDK here. Extract everything, and open cmd (Start menu - Execute - cmd). Then, in cmd, navigate to the repository you extracted everything (cd path\to\directory). Then, in this directory, go to sdk\plaform-tools.
In this folder, place the recovery file you downloaded.
Now, reboot your device in bootloader mode. Then go into fastboot. If the device is recognized you should see USB Plug on the screen.
You can now type
Code:
fastboot.exe flash recovery your_recovery_file_name.img
and voila ! You should see a loading bar on the screen, and you can reboot into recovery
THE BEST FLASHING TOOL
@Uksus17 made a pretty nice tool to help you install a recovery : just make sure USB debugging is enabled in your phone's settings, then connect it to the computer (of course, with the drivers installed - see before) and just run the .bat
You can find the script here : https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nuf2pq3ay9eu7xk/7gtYOs07EN
WINDOWS 8.1
On Windows 8.1 the fastboot drivers do not work. Thus you have to use another way to install the recovery : PG76IMG. The recovery will be downloaded as a zip file that you will put at the root of your sd card. Then just reboot into bootloader (vol down + Power) and it will flash it automagically @niks255 made PG76IMG for TWRP 2.2, 2.7 and CWM 6.0.4.8. You can find it here : 2.2, 2.7, 6.0.4.8
Now, you have your recovery... Let's speak about ROMs !
WHERE TO FIND YOUR ROMS
All the ROMs for the Wildfire S are here. You'll see, there are loads of ROMs for our phone
HOW TO CHOOSE THEM
Ah, which ROM is the best... An endless debate in XDA forums !
By the way, many "noobs" post threads to know which ROM is the best, and it annoys a lot the Senior users. Here I will list the existing kinds of ROMs and what they are made for, so that you won't have to spam the forum anymore
Stock rom
There are a lot of modded stock roms. The most advanced is by @Kevinjoa, and it can be found here. Moreover, it is a Marvellous rom !!!
Advantages : Very, very fast and an excellent battery life. Easily moddable and themable.
Drawbacks : Old Android version (2.3.5 ).
Sense 3.5 rom
These roms are based on the same Android version as stock rom, but with the latest Sense version (for Android 2.3). The fastest rom for the Wildfire S is EQDKP 5.2. There is also Marvellous Sense 3.5, and many other roms.
Advantages : Very fast, and good battery life. A very beautiful UI.
Drawbacks : one or two bugs. Old Android version (2.3.5).
CyanogenMod 7.2
CyanogenMod (cm) is the ultimate rom for all phones. It is based on pure Android (AOSP) and has a few more good features.
Advantages : very fast and an excellent battery life. Some mods that makes you forget that you have an old Android version : notification swipe-to-clear, flac support. Very themable : a lot of versions exist in the forum, modded to look like Sense 4, and all.
Drawbacks : a few bugs. Old Android version (2.3.7)
CyanogenMod 9.1
This is the Android 4.0.4 version of CyanogenMod. It is an excellent rom.
Advantages : Android 4 ICS. Very themable and moddable.
Drawbacks : it slows down the phone and has some bugs.
CyanogenMod 10
This is the Android 4.1.2 version of CyanogenMod, and is also a very good rom. Many versions exist in the forum, with a lot of mods and some derivated os.
Advantages : Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Very themable and moddable, with many derivated versions.
Drawbacks : few space in /system, so you can't install full Google apps (see later in the tutorial). It feels slow sometimes. It has some bugs.
CyanogenMod 10.1
The 4.2.2 version of CyanogenMod.
Advantages : supported by OWL team. Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. Very themable too.
Drawbacks : very few space in /system. Also it is definitely slow. And it has bugs.
CyanogenMod 10.2
The 4.3.1 version of CyanogenMod.
Advantages : supported by Team Simplicit. Android 4.3.1 Jelly Bean. Very themable too.
Drawbacks : Well, there are very few features compared to CyanogenMod 10.1 And very few space in /system. Also it is definitely slow. And it has bugs, mostly sensors and camera.
CyanogenMod 11
The 4.4.2 version of CyanogenMod.
Advantages : supported by Team Simplicit. Android 4.4.2 KitKat. Very themable and has few bugs. It is faster than than previous versions thanks to Android optimization.
Drawbacks : There is few space in /system, and camera doesn't work.
Paranoid Android
Paranoid Android is a rom based also on pure Android but without cyanogenmod modificactions. We have two versions : Android 4.1 and 4.2. Both have bugs. The interesting features are in the per-app personnalisation feature : you can choose the size of each app, apply some statusbar colors per-ap, etc. Paranoid Android 3+ (Android 4.2) also has Pie feature and Halo.
Advantages : per-app functionnalities. Halo and Pie.
Drawbacks : bugs. Less features than CyanogenMod. few space in /system
MIUI
If you're a nostalgic of Sense, MIUI is for you. We have MIUI based on Android 2.3, 4.0 and 4.1. It is Android modded to be more beautiful.
Advantages : very beautiful UI.
Drawbacks : slow, and only in English.
AOKP
AOKP is based on pure Android and offers some new features like CyanogenMod. We have AOKP 4.0, 4.1 and 4.2.
Advantages : good personnalisation features.
Drawbacks : bugs and few space in /system.
AOSP
AOSP is the very pure Android with no bonus features.
Advantages : The one we have, by @thehacka1, is very fast.
Drawbacks : few space in /system, no CyanogenMod features.
PAC-man
PAC-man is the ultimate rom for people who want loads of features, or basically for those who do not know which to choose between CyanogenMod, AOKP and AOSPA (Paranoid Android). It offers features from all these three roms.
Advantages : so many features ! Android 4.2
Drawbacks : No camera. For me, extremely fast battery drain.
OmniROM
A modded AOSP 4.4.2 KitKat.
Advantages : supported by Team Simplicit. Android 4.4.2 KitKat. Has a lot of nice features. It is faster than than previous versions thanks to Android optimization.
Drawbacks : There is few space in /system, and camera doesn't work.
The best way to choose your rom is to test all of them. But you certainly don't have time for that.
If you want performance, choose Sense 2.1/3.5 or cm7.
If you want a good UI, choose Sense 2.1/3.5 or MIUI.
If yu want the latest Android, choose cm10.1 or AOKP 4.2
If you want a lot of features, choose PAC-man
And remember : you never need to flash any kernel except if the rom developer tells you so ! The rom already contains the good one
GOOGLE APPS
When you've downloaded a rom, you'll also need to download google apps if they are not installed. They are installed in Sense and MIUI roms, but not always in other roms (the hread usuallly says it).
You can find the gapps package for your Android version at goo.im/gapps - only for Android < 4.1. For Android 4.1 use these lite gapps, and Android 4.2 use these ones. Sometimes, a link to gapps is provided in the rom thread. Use this link instead of mine.
HOW TO FLASH
Just put the rom zip and the gapps zip in your sdcard, boot into recovery, make a backup, wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, system and sd-ext (if you can) and select install zip from sdcard then go to your rom zip and flash. After that flash your gapps zip without any wipe.
Yoou can then reboot. Be careful, it can take some time.
INCREASE INTERNAL MEMORY
As you may have seen, the stock rom has very few space for apps. You can increase it with Int2Ext
First you must partition your sd card. You can use a tool like gparted. Reduce the size of the existing fat32 partition and create a new partition in ext4 format. Note : make sure you've done a backup of your sd card data ! This will erase all data on your sd card.
Then you can go to this page and choose the script that is made for you. Flash it right after gapps without any wipe.
In my mind, Int2ExtV2+ is the best. But it needs 150 MB of storage for 500 Mb of ext4 partition. Int2Ext or Int2Ext4 do not need that, but will slow down the phone a lot, even if you have a good sd card.
ABOUT BRICKING YOUR PHONE
A lot of people, when they start playing with their phone, are afraid to brick it, meaning that it doesn't work anymore and can go straight to trash. That is normal, I was thinking that too But the risks are very low. If you are not S-OFF, it is difficult to brick your phone. I flashed more than 150 roms, installed kernels that didn't work, change 10 times of recovery and I never experienced a brick.
There are two kinds of bricks : softbrick and hardbrick. If your phone is softbricked, you can still go into recovery, wipe everything and install a new rom. If your phone is hardbricked, hmmm... there are very few chances of recovery, because it doesn't boot anymore
Let's talk about support now !
WHERE TO POST A QUESTION
It is easy : when you have a problem with a rom, post it right in the rom thread. Do not create a thread in General section with your problem. If you can't post in the rom thread, or if your problem is very specific, or just if nobody answered you in the rom thread, then post in Q&A section. NEVER IN GENERAL ! general sections is for threads that are not about a mod, a rom, a kernel, a recovery, an accessory or a question. For example, this guide
When you have a problem, people will often ask you to give them a logcat. But what is it ?
HOW TO LOGCAT
The logcat is the command that gives you all the informations about the system in real time, errors, warnings, or just debug info. When you have a problem and if you create a post or a thread about it, try to provide a logcat. This is easy !
In cmd, navigate to the repertory where fastboot.exe was. Plug your device to your computer. Usually Android debug is activated by default, you can verify in your phone's parameters. It depends on the Android version, but for Android >= 4.0 it is in Develper tools and for Android < 4.0 it is in the app menu, in the development section.
Now type
Code:
adb logcat
: you should see a lot of text. Don't worry if you understand nothing ! Just give everything to the people who ask you for the logcat. Then follow their instructions
Advice by @csoulr666 :
For a better and cleaner logcat you can do
Code:
adb logcat -v long
And if you want to put it in a text file
Code:
adb logcat -v long >logcat.txt
Then just upload the file It is easier to read and doesn't spam the thread (very difficult to scroll when you're on your phone ). Moreover with that you do not get into troubles with the character limit.
Just a precision about Android >= 4.2. You can't logcat on first boot, because of a new thief-protection feature. You'll need to boot, to plug the phone to the computer, make sure you have the latest adb installed (adb version - it must be 0.1.31 or more) and when you try to connect to the device, a popup will appear and prompt for adb access. Reply yes, and check the remember box, and now here you are, yu can logcat with this rom !
If you still want to logcat on first boot, you can use this guide (thanks to @thehacka1 !).
RESPECT THE DEVELOPER
A rom developer is a human being He has the right to sleep and to work and to have fun ! Do not ask for updates of the rom everytime, and don't bame him if he disappears from the thread for a few days... The more you ask for updates, the less he wants to make them
Do not forget to press thanks button when you think the dev deserves it ! Do not just post "thanks"
As you may have heard, the Marvellous Team is about to end. thehacka1, djolivier and Kevinjoa already have new devices.

For logcat you also need your device's drivers. And don't forget 4.2.2 can't be logcated.

Device drivers have already been installed if you unlocked your bootloader And 4.2.2 can be logcated, it just cannot be at first boot... But you're right, they may need to logcat on first boot. Could you please give me the link of your tutorial to get ADB working on first boot on 4.2.2 please ?

An alternative to device drivers is HTC Sync but that is a big hassle. Here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2296632

Hmmm... if you have a A310e you're in the wrong forum mate You have a wildfire, not a wildfire s !
But if you have 2012 model, it is possible that you need to try another recovery... you tried all of those I proposed in the guide?

You could try cwm 6, or owl mod... I must say, as I do not own a 2012 model, I don't know which recovery works for them
