If I were to root my HTC Desire for the purpose of getting more internal memory space would anything dramatically change with the day to day usage of it? Like does HTC Sense etc. still work normally? Sorry if this is a stupid question.

If I was to root my HTC Desire would I be able to put Gingerbread on it? I assume HTC won't be updating to it anytime soon if at all. What are some good ROMs for the Desire? What are the chances of bricking it?

Actually now that I think about it are any settings, messages, apps etc deleted when you install a new rom?

LastInLine posted:^^^^ Thank you fine sir. I'm pretty sure I can root without deleting anything so I can use Titanium backup after rooting. I don't really care about SMS or call logs etc anyway.

Can rooting using unrevoked be undone if say I had a warranty issue?

nate fisher posted:I am not sure if better is the right word. First WarmZ is newer and runs Sense 2.0, so it has more bugs right now (at least when I used it). Also you can never have 4G with WarmZ. That said I was pretty happy with both, but I got bored and started to try different ROMs (I think we all do this). I wish you wouldn't have said this as I tried Clear as Day and love it. However, it kept on rebooting my phone. What is the best way to install a theme? I couldn't use boot manager. Do you need to clear the cache before you flash it?

This there a changelog from CM7 RC4 to the 7 final? I can only find a changelog from 6 to 7. Just wondering if I go ahead and flash from RC4 is all.

nate fisher posted:All I did was flash it in recovery mode. Honestly all I did before flashing it was do back-up. I didn't clear anything. I just downloaded it again and tried flashing it. It restarted my phone when I went to turn off Wi-Fi like it did before. Any other suggestions? Clear cache before flash? How do I even do that?

As I understand it CM7 uses both Apps2SD and the normal Android App Mover. Being that I have a Desire I want to force as much as I can on to the SD card. Are there any apps that should not be moved? Obviously I'm not going to move any apps that use widgets. I'm mainly thinking of apps like Maps that use the GPS that might be best not moved over.

MrBishi posted:It's not really that complicated assuming you know how to burn an ISO file and boot your computer with the resulting disc, after you do that its just a case of plugging the phone in and letting the program do its job. I'm currently running cm7. So I should backup, wipe everything then flash the partition and then flash cm7?

fishmech posted:I've done it. It looks more complicated than it actually is. The part that is tripping me up is all this talk about images and VM. No where on that site does it mention I need to mount an image file. EDIT: It does. The layout and explanation on that site are terrible. Second EDIT: Can't get the CM7 image to mount or boot.

Got the image working in VirtualBox but it gets stuck on "Waiting for your device..." I think I might just flag this whole thing. I'm not in desperate need of space at the moment since CM& gave me more by default. Thanks though.

Has anyone with a Desire flashed their radio? It says you should in the CM wiki but mine seems to work fine without flashing. Any advantages to flashing it?

I have an issue (might not even be rooting related) that is with some application's settings. They seem to rest to default when ever I reboot my phone. Particular settings are the orientation setting in Dolphin Browser mini and the sync setting in the Facebook app. Both of these apps have been forced to the SD card, however DBM can be there by design. DBM may have been doing this before I rooted by FB wasn't. So does anyone know what is causing these? HTC Desire running CM7.0.0.

Hey guys I'm doing the AlphaRev S-OFF with my HTC Desire at the moment but the program seems stuck on the first step and says "Waiting for bootloader..." which it is in. Should I just keep waiting or do I need to select something in bootloader for it? EDIT: Pulled it, seems fine. Although the files it pushed to the internal now means I'm outa space. That's why I was doing it in the first place.

Okay I got S-Off (finally) and I flashed the new HBOOT partition and restored my nandroid backup that I made before this. However I'm getting crazy force closes and all sorts when I get in. This has been mentioned before but I can't remember the fix, it's to do with my app settings right? Should I just wipe and start again? It seems this has kinda happened anyway.

Farking Bastage posted:Is the radio working? I got some forceclose loops on mine but it was kernel panicks from needing a new radio flash I think the radio is fine. I did a complete wipe and just loaded back in apps + settings with Titanium backup and all seems fine now with 230mb free internally!

Seven Round Things posted:Will the flash preserve data like the OTA does, and is flashing it more risky than accepting an OTA? (I am somewhat paranoid about bricking my phone somehow.) As the others said, root it now. I have a Desire and have been running Gingerbread for months. I'm not even sure official gingerbread will come to the Desire to be honest.

I have an HTC Desire running CM7 that started not telling me when a message doesn't send. It does send them when I next restart the phone. As you can imagine this is kinda annoying. Anyone heard of a similar problem? I have updated to the latest CM version. Would clearing the cache help?

I'm thinking about doing a factory reset of my Galaxy Nexus as I have never done one since I got it in 2011. Is there any reason not to root it while I'm doing this? I'm probably not going to use custom ROMs but thought it might be useful at some point.

Well there was some config change to address memory issues with GN. What's the best method to root?

Okay finally got the drivers installed I think (Shows as Android Composite ADB Interface in Device Manager) but nothing shows when I type fastboot devices (running in admin rights cmd prompt in fastboot mode). Any ideas?

Oh I've done that (took about 10 tries) and it shows correctly in device manager just not when trying the 'fastboot devices' command. Does USB debugging need to enabled on the device? EDIT: The answer is yes! I was actually in Odin mode not fasstboot
