First of all, this should be at Wildfire section.
Secondly, go to Wildfire (Buzz) section--> Wildfire Android Development --> The first post named [REF] Complete Index [ROMs/Radios/Kernels/RUUs] for the Wildfire
There you have all the Custom ROMs and things. If you just want official Froyo rootable, scroll down to point 5. RUUs -> a) SAFE Flash zip files
Of course you need to know how to root the Wildfire and flashing a new ROM. You have guides in the same post.
Cyanogenmod is a greatly modded android and improved for many phones. CM7 brings Gingerbread 2.3 to many phones.
I would like to install android 2.1 on Nexus S. Yes, you read that correctly. I want to backup my existing cyanogen 7.1 (android 2.3) install, install 2.1, create a backup of that, then be able to switch back and forth between 2.1 and 2.3 for testing android apps during development.
Does anyone know if this is possible? Do you know of any roms that might work? Any direction would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

sure that would work!
but there arent any android 2.1 nexus s roms. you would have to build your own from source, or port a 2.1 rom to the nexus s
Hmm...well then it does not look too promising for me . I have never built an android rom or ported one before. If anyone else has any other ideas I would love to hear them.
Maybe it would be possible for me to install an android 2.1 rom made for the Galaxy S?

the galaxy s rom wouldnt flash, unless you turned off the signature check in recovery. then you will probably just brick your phone.
The kernel I think would be the hard part of this.
Samsung Italy announced that the Samsung update for Galaxy S i9003 Gingerbread to Android will be delayed. The motivation is clear: To avoid delays in updating to version 2.3.5, we have chosen to update the terminal S Galaxy Super Clear LCD (I9003) directly to the latter version of firmware. So still waiting to see the final distribution on this Android smartphone although the consolation would be to have the version 2.3.5 instead of 2.3.4.

final distribution on this Android smartphone ..sad .
It doesn't matter it is 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 or 3.0, 4.0
It depend on what do you need from your fone
Somebody just crazy about numbers !
2.3.5 has hardly anything new with it(probaly samy gives more sources?)
but 4.0 is really something diff

Who cares! I think, like we port themes and ROMs we can try to port the 4.0 from SGS or SGSII,rrahigt?
yes,or may build one from stock android.....but it isnt as easy as porting themes!!

It is that easy...It is not easy as porting rom or themes..If it is that easy then why that time when our device only support Froyo,why no devs port gingerbread to our device before official release?
In CM7 also we found difficulties to port it and fix the bugs...it is not easy and need many efforts and experience devs to work on it.Sad to say that our communities also lack of experience devs like skin and amit..
*Just my opinion..
We can try it! I think it is useless. Before dropping into conclusion, I think, we must have atleast some hopes. Galaxy ace,Fit and 5 are gonna get the update, so why not SL? We will obviously get it. If we don't the Asia-pacific team of users in gonna get on the nerve of Sammy!
y android 4.0 or even if there is any android 5.0 if we have all the features available in 2.3.4
if we have tv out and usb otg i wont even bother which version we r usin ..
Final distribution? Sigh. It's not even an old phone. That's pretty annoying.
NIce info !
idiot samsung that the rom I want is 4.0 not 2.3.5!!!

Darn samsung..why not u give announcement that our phone will get ICS in half year 2012! sure we can wait bcoz it more worth

Nobody knows if there is an update for I9003 or not. These are all speculations.. Even Samfirmware.com don´t know it exactly!
BTW, what do you expect from Gingerbread 2.3.5 or Ice Cream Sandwich?
In 2.3.5 there are only Bugfixes and closed security gaps. ICS is only fusion of Tablet-Android and Smartphone-Android.
Really new features will only come with Jelly Bean (that´s android version after ICS) and I´m sure neither the Galaxy S or the Galaxy SLC will gain an update to this version

The 2.3.5 update is important because it fixes at least a security vulnerability in the browser, which may affect you even if you don't use the stock one.
Time to Troll Sammy Big-Time?
Sorry if this question has been asked already, I searched through the related threads and couldn't find an answer:
I have an HTC Vivid running it's pre-installed Android 4.0 with Sense 3.6, but I want to flash a Vanilla ICS Rom (the rom running on the Galaxy Nexus) that doesn't have any proprietary UI crap on it, just the original ICS that's running on the Galaxy Nexus, and works with AT&T. Is there one available, and if so, is there a guide on on XDA where I could aim towards?
Thanks!!
search the android development forum for the vivid to find your rom of choice, then follow the guide below in order to flash it.

Hey guys, I installed Cognition 4.5.3 on my Samsung Captivate (Galasy S) phone about a year ago.
Can I upgrade it to Android 4.0? If yes, how? And which ROM would you recomend?
Thanks much!
yikes.
If you have checked Captivate Forum, you would've found many ICS ROMs over there. Please read the comments, and install the one of your choice if you'd like to.
