I would like to install customs roms SQPRom 0.7 - CM6 (Froyo 2.2.1) and nFinityROM v1.18 - Froyo 2.2.1). I've heard that when I root my phone SD card won't be recognazible. Is that issue with this two roms? And another question: will I be able to install apps that require 2.x android? Or this roms are just skins? I'm new in all this so sorry if I ask dumb questions but i cannot find if SD card can be recognized and will I be able to install apps and games which require Android 2.x OS... Thanks in advance

Hi,
Thank you guys (and girls of course) for pushing the android experience more than just-another-smart-phone for the curious users.
I have searched a lot by moving around in this forum for last couple of days, looking for a cool ROM for my first ever (but not last, only the beginning) ROM upgrade.
I have read the wiki and have explored all the given links. But I couldn't find few simple answers. Please help me by answering my following questions-
1. Is there any list of currently available ROMs with pros and cons of each ROM? Is there any benchmark for stability, performance,supported features for all the available ROMs ?
2. What's there any matured stable 2.x.x ROM for HTC magic 32A which is not-slow and does well what it is supposed to do?
3. What's the pros and cons for older versions and newer versions? In another way of asking- why you developers still working on the 1.5 and 1.6 ROMs? Why not 2.x.x for HTC magic?
4. (lame question) Which of the ROM versions does have flash 10 (so that flash videos or files will work on webpages)?
Please ignore my lack of knowledge and enlighten me and other newbies as well.
Thank you very much once again
1. No but you may have a look at this.
2. Manup456's Eclair is what I'd go for. It isn't slow nor buggy but keep in mind that there are things that still don't work properly and probably won't until HTC or some operator releases an official 2.1 update for the Magic. You'll also need a port to install it on a 32A.
3. 1.5 and 1.6 have been officially released for the Magic while 2.xx hasn't yet. That means everything works as it should on 1.5 and 1.6. On 2.1 you get the new Android features but you lose some functionalities as well so it all depends of what you need and don't need (if you can live without camera recording and hardware acceleration you'll be fine). People also stick to some 1.5 ROMs because of SenseUI (there are a few 2.xx ROMs with SenseUI but none of them is really ready for prime time).
4. Flash 10 isn't available to us yet. There is a version of Flash Player included in the HTC Browser (meaning you need a ROM which includes the HTC framework) but it's not that great as it doesn't support the newer Actionscript 3/FP 10 Flash files. It can play Youtube videos though.
My personal advice would be to avoid 2.xx ROMs for the moment and to try a good stable 1.5 SenseUI ROM like Cursorsense or GyD... and if you then feel that 1.5 is too old you can try Amon RA's Donut or Ahmgsk's.
Hope this helps... you could have posted this in the general forum though
Guys I'm a newbie in this forum so please guide me which rom is better.........dexter's froyo or that one of khalpowers.
I'm totally confused.And if someone could tell me that if I install one of these roms
will the installed apps and other data like contacts or stuff will remain or be removed.
Please also state the disadvantage of these roms as compared to the stock 2.1
For russian speaking users i recommend RusMod.
For everyone else - use Khalpowers mods with mine kernel from fastboot.
Or Dexter's 1.3 with Mioze7ae patch.

they all good for me ,just have to choose which one suits you ,Dexters is the original Froyo and others is optimization based on the Dexter's rom..if you like the Original one ..choose Dexter..or elase..you can try others
i think you should try the Froyo of Khalpowers ,it's base on Dexters and xavwanted's and it's the latest froyo till now..many user discuss about the khalpowers and you can get more help in the froum.
"if I install one of these roms
will the installed apps and other data like contacts or stuff will remain or be removed."
yes ..coz after you finished installation of Froyo ..you need to wipe everything ..so eveything on your phone Memory will gone..(everything in SD card ..Photo,vdo,songs..etc..is fine)
"Please also state the disadvantage of these roms as compared to the stock 2.1"
1. you can use flash in your web browser watch youtube in webpages..(performance not good lag.. due to the CPU ti 3440 and ram 256..)
2.you can move your apps to your sd and you can play bigger games with large data
3. you can use many apps that require running on OS 2.2
4. you can use 3.5mm TV out...
i might be wrong in some point....so it's just my experience
Thanks for replying guys!
please could you explain me what does fastboot patch does and is it neccessary.
Also for enabling apps to sd in khalpowers rom do i have to do something else apart from creating a partition?
And how can i use hdmi cable to play games on tv with this rom??
help?
Guys one more thing
if i want to return to stock 2.1 I saw the video made by reveren the stock 2.1 file is of cincinati bell so would this create any network problems as i am not using cicncinati bell.
I know this must be a stupid question but please do answer!
How to use the 3.5 mm to mirror my phone on the tv....which wire is required?
Sent from my XT720 using XDA App
I have a rooted HTC Wildfire with Cyanogenmod 7 installed on there, but I want to know if I can install Sense 2.2 instead? I prefer the stock keyboard and messaging app.
Will I still be rooted and be able to move all apps to the SD card? and uninstall factory apps?
Sorry if it's a stupid question
Thanks in advance

Hey guys,
my question is related to my LG Optimus 2x/Speed's custom ROM. It's an unofficial CM9 ROM by MrHyde (?). I don't remember its full name. The Kernel is described as "3.0.33-NovaKernel-ICS-1.0-6". The Android-Version is "4.0.4". The CyanogenMod-Version is "9.0.0-RC0-p990-UNOFFICIAL". My question is: which Bootloader am I using at the moment and will I be able to install a new custom CM10 without hard- or software problems? (Mivv's CM10.1 would have been my choice) There's a ICS-Bootloader requiered and because I'm actually using ICS I might have it in use!??
Thank you!
Best regards
Lauch
Edit: Is the mnt/sdcard/ folder the one for my external SD card only? Is it possible to install the ROM inapp with CWM?
