Custom Roms

mdb08 · 4 Mar 2011 at 17:07

I've just rooted my desire and put a custom rom on it

. Now the point being here is, what ROM's do you guys have on your android devices?

CyanogenMod is very popular, I have been using cm7 rc1 on my nexus one, recently.
changed a few bits personaly in it though, for example the adw launcher that comes default with it, i dont like it, much prefer stock launcher.

What are the benefits? Anything to stop android trying to use data all the time? This is on a desire hd.

TheCenturion · 4 Mar 2011 at 18:45

Android Revolution and Leedroid are the ones that I use

EDIT: sorry this is desire hd that I have.

Why does this seem to bother people? payg? no data plan?

You can't receive calls when using data via a 2g signal.

Biffa · 4 Mar 2011 at 21:48

You can control what data android uses, its not an iphone where you have no control, you have ultimate control.

In answer to the OP

Android Revolution HD 3.0 (just flashed, rebooting now)

download switchpro, I've got a nice row of toggles accross the bottom of my screen...
data connection : wifi : bluetooth : gps : sreen rotate : brightness : vibrate

When I first had my phone 3 hadn't changed my contract from my previous one with no internet, so i needed to turn the 3g off or it would've cost me a bomb lol

This did the trick very nicely

(also good for stopping ad banner downloads in free games lol)

Oh, and I'm in the CyanogenMOD camp too

oh I see. didn't know that... what about 3/3.5g?

godinman · 5 Mar 2011 at 18:05

Yep, you can on 3g etc, it's one problem with living in the sticks :/

Biffa, I have turned sync off everything except k9mail and it still randomly uses data (k9 set to 1/2 hours). How else can I control things?

I have a normal sim free Desire. Never gone down the rooted path. Is Android Revolution HD 3.0 worth the effort?

Also, are there any noob guides on rooting, that's easy 2 follow?

Grrrrr · 6 Mar 2011 at 09:32

Very very easy to do

Stock Gingerbread 2.3.2 here, will at some point install CM7 I think

ACE01 · 6 Mar 2011 at 11:22

Still on stock with my DHD, but gf's wildfire causing major slowdown problems. Interested to know if anyone has had success flashing a wildfire and could recommend something?

Bobcat · 6 Mar 2011 at 11:57

CyanogenMod 7 RC1 here on my Desire HD.

Was one if the first things I did when I got the phone was to read up on XDA Forum and started flashing rom's, never had a problem and would recommend it
