[Q] Rooting my Wildfire - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm really keen to root my phone, after looking at the options I thought CyanogenMod would be a good choice, but then I see for the stable release that is has quite a few bugs like corrupted video recording...
any suggestions please?

Cyanogenmod 7.

Sorry to kind thread-hack here but..
Does cyanogenmod7 work with 2.2.1?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

Cyanogenmod 7 is 2.3.3

No. Installing any custom ROM requires root.

Flashing Cyanogenmod 7.2 a good idea for TMOBILE US WFS?

I'm not sure if I should flash cyanogenmod 7.2 from the ROM manager to my Tmobile US version of the wfs. I've heard some people say that the accelerator doesn't work for the Tmobile US brand. Can someone tell me if it's a good idea to flash the ROM?

i wouldn't do that ... you can encounter bugs, and even loss of data, and such things, maybe even a brick...i guess it is best if alquez would try to port it for cdma...

Oh ok but there's also one in ROM manager that is 7.2 but the one ported by alquez is 7.1 which was said that had some bugs for the Tmobile US wildfire s. I just want to be sure the 7.2 is less buggy.

Custom rom help

I am a new user of the HTC DHD, i wanna know if there is any rom that has the least bugs and good battery as i am on the official 2.3.5 android and the battery life is making me wana die, i need my wifi all the time so please suggest a rom which has no problem with wifi and app running
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using xda app-developers app
Which rom do you currently use ? the stock one ?
If so, Sense consumes a bit more battery than AOSP roms.
I used to have Cyanogenmod 7.2 with LordModUE 8.9b7 kernel. And it is very very good.
That's for GB roms.
Both JellyTime and IceColdSandwhich roms are good too (but still in beta).
But Wifi is far from being cool with a battery ... Wifi is energy-greedy!!

If you wand the stock HTC look a recommend android revolution
If you wand better performances and battery life use AOSP(android open source project) or Cyanogenmod of AOKP(android open kang project)
Ice cold sand witch have verry good battery life (only bug is camcorder for wat I know)
Which one do u recommend? Aosp or aokp?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using xda app-developers app
Cyanogenmod 7.2 is rock stable !
Most of the GB rom are very stable too, and almost bug free.
You have to try each rom, Sense feeling ? Aosp one ?
I used SmartDroid for a long time and really enjoyed it.
Newer roms, 4.0 or 4.1 based are still buggy and lack some features but are already very fast and gives you the most recent android experience.
It's up to you to find the one that fits your needs.
One more point, updating your Radio can be good for your battery too.
I personnaly use 26.14.04.28_M without any issue. (but I may update it now, as I've just flashed Jelly time )
I think i'll go for the cyanogen 7.0, does it give a better battery life?
And btw what is "kernal" and which one should i use and how?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using xda app-developers app

Go for 7.2 instead of 7.0
7.2 is the stable one for Desire HD: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=ace
A kernel is the core of the operating system. To extremely sum up, it deals with your hardware and your programs.
Installing a new one can give you some optimizations, better response, better battery etc.
I personally used the LordModUE kernels. Here is a direct link for the lastest version: http://blackice.omca.co.uk/download...ger-kernels/lordmodUEv8.9-CFS-b7-2WCR-TUN.zip
But be aware that to flash a kernel, you need to first boot with the kernel of the rom (here the CM one), then flash the new one.

First of all, and prior to flashing any rom, you need to perform a nandroid backup.
This is a backup of your current ROM, making an image of each partition, to be able to restore it later, in case of a crash or anything else.
Once you've rooted your phone, a recovery should be installed.
To perform a nandroid backup, you reboot into recovery and choose "backup".
Or, you can install Rom Manager from the market, and choose the same option.
Once this is done, and only after this, you're good to flash any rom you want !
Another method exits to reflash the stock rom, using RUU.
I won't explain this as you can find your answer on this forum.
EDIT: don't forget to check MD5 or SHA1 sum to check the ROM/kernel integrity you download.
I use camera a lot is there any jelly bean custom mod with a working camera cause I am now bored to look at the dame gingerbread is since past 1 yr almost....want some change....
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using xda app-developers app
As far as I know, Jelly Time has a working stock camera app.
Actually, video recording in 720p is the only issue. Then, yes, I can take pictures with the stock app on Jelly Time ROM (currently beta 11).
If you want to record a video, you'll have either to change the resolution to 480p or use another app from the market (Videocam Illusion I believe, didn't test it though).
More information here.
The others JB based ROMs are currently too immature for now, and are not as stable as JellyTime.
Also, please be warn that you need to read the opening post (OP) carefully, the moderators are getting annoyed with all the same questions, which answers can be found in the OP.

Advance Ace Hack Kit - a tool developed by former xda member attn1 used to root, SIM Unlock & ENG S-OFF (ENG S-OFF allows you to flash custom ROM's without security checks e.g. md5 checks, bypassing restrictions placed by HTC on our device). He removed the link to it from the forums as he left xda due to personal reasons. Search attn1 ace hack kit on google to find it, as he hosts it on his website now

Yes your contacts, data and all personal data will be wiped upon flashing a new ROM, as flashing a ROM almost always requires you to wipe the data partitions. I reccomend you backup all of your data to avoid it. If your android and Sense version is android 2.3.5 and Sense version 3.0 then then you will have to downgrade your software version then attempt root

The first thing you have to do is to root your device with advanced ace hack kit (search in google), then you can flash custom ROMs. Be careful using the aahk, you must follow the instructions attentively.

(Q) How to replace/change rom?

Today i rooted my htc buzz wildfire and installed cyanogenmod 7.2
I wanna know how can i change the rom?
And which is the best rom available? In terms of speed and one last question, does overclocking really boosts up the speed. Should i really do that?

Cyanogenmod Is a rom, and so is htc sense and miui ect. You have already changed rom! And yes, allowing you don't over do it there should be no harm bar the battery will run down faster.
I think with cm7, some apps still lag. For e.g xda app crashes at times and it gives the error "force close" which never really happened before.
2) And can u tell me should i try cm9 with jelly bean / ice cream sandwich.
3) and how can i use rom manager? I rooted yesterday and didn't use it. What's the first option i should use etc ( a forum link would be appreciated) i couldn't find any.

CM 7 is a really smooth ROM no ICS ROM is faster. I think you should stay on CM7.
You can use ROM Manager if u want to flash a new ROM for example CM9 or a new ClockworkMod recovery. You can also Download the newest Version of CM7 (gApps etc.)via ROM Manager.
Maybe you should try to clear the app cache and data to get the app working

Here is a complete guide how to use ROM Manager and what exactly it does
I've heard about the 'brick'-issiue too but i think that's a rumor. I flash ROMs with ROM Manager for about 1 year and i hadn't even one issiue with it.
Thanks man you're genius.the kind of info i needed, i got it.
That's why i love this forum.

[Q] ClockWord version ??

Yo guys!
HTC wildfire here, rooted s-off 1.01 BUT without clockwork recovery. Which version is best for this phone (most recent?) and would i just flash it through fastboot?
Cheers
EDIT: Also if someone could recommend a nice stable ROM it'd be greatley apreciated
Most recent cwm is 6. Look in the development section. However the best mod I would suggest is cmw5 because it is more stable. The most stable room is either a sense rom or cm 7. It is your preference. Do you prefer gb or sense froyo.

A nice ics rom that you should try, aokp v5 light,miui v4 (2.5) and cm7.It change your wildfire interface.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda app-developers app
aokp light has some bugs, but runs quite smooth, as for the cmw, 6 is the most stable.
there are a lot people who has issues when they are installing rom via cwm6. in wildfire's case, newer thing, is not always better thing. nowadays android gets more and more updated so also root stuff do and wildfire often can't handle those new things. personally i use cwm 3.0.2.8 since i have rooted my phone and i have no issues with it at all. even roms which have aroma.installer included work great
