[Q] HTC sence and Gingerbread Rom HDMI

I relaxed HTC sence with cyanogen mod 7. But it was too unstable. Then I installed Gingerbread. The music app does not play anything from my music file. I guess it is not in the correct format even though CM7 and HTC sence had no trouble playing music from that same file. Second, I installed a newer version of rom manager which deleted my HTC Sence backup orange did it? Is there a way to find it or can I download it from the net somewhere? Lastly, I really like the Gingerbread Rom, but the HDMI does not work. I downloaded two apps HD win and full HDMI with no luck. Any tips?

if you ever run into problems, pull the battery, boot to hboot, select recovery, and flash the update.zip inside the phoneRom directory. It writes your backed up boot image. thanks too $MyName for making this common knowledge

There's just one big problem, the Desire S has been found to have a very problematic eMMc chip with regards to battery pulling. Kinda scary.

question regarding the nand for the phone rom: htc evo, smelkis 4.3 recovery, option to nand should include or exclude RECOVERY?

SO which would be better. I'm wondering if I should use CM7 to run as my main rom, than dual boot a JB rom boot manager lite. I still haven't gotten this to work, so which should my main OS be?

dual booting - a how to

Just a Fair Warning!
if yu do this u should understand the risks this brings even as small as they may be. im saying cuz I've dual booted nd got the 5 vibs of death i got it fixed nd up again bt scared the life outta me. buyer beware "hope for the best but always expect the worst"

Thanks for the info. I was wondering how this is possible, seeing as how there is very little space left after flashing just one ROM. However, according the website, it installs the ROMs on your sdcard and runs them straight from there. It will be slower than if you run from internal memory, but it's nice that the option is available.
