Not a fan of Sense, but it is at least bearable on HDPI devices. I used the official HTC RUU from the UK as a base, and now have a bootable, somewhat working Froyo ROM for the CDMA Desire.
It is by no means a daily ROM. I'm uploading here so we can get some testers and help from other developers. Since I'm usually occupied writing code for a living, any help is welcomed and appreciated.
What's working?
Audio, incoming/outgoing calls, SMS, data (works, but flaky), camera, GPS (needs more testing to really be given a thumbs up), backlight, vibration, live wallpapers
What's not working?
Wifi, BT, orientation, lights, MMS, and I'm sure much more.
What's included that isn't stock?
Busybox, DarkTremor apps2sd, root shell, deodexed
Currently, it's booting off of the stock 2.6.29 kernel and modules. I was able to get the 2.6.35 Cyanogen kernel to boot, but did not get all drivers/modules loading properly. I will be looking into that soon as well as possibly using the Incredible ROM as a base.
What can I do to help?
Download, test, tweak, get in touch with me. Twitter or PM on here will work. Pay attention to this thread, I will keep it updated. I look forward to your feedback.

good luck with everything i will give this a try once it becomes a little more stable. nice to see some cdma roms out here
I was correct in assuming we'd have success with the Droid Incredible build. Testing now and will tweak more tomorrow, stay tuned for updates.
Wonderful news!! I have been using the CM6 nightly on my Cell South with only a MMS bug but I will def rock out DPhase's ROM once it gets a little more stable. I am so excited to see a developer from Cell South! Can't wait to buy you a beer. I use my phone for work but I will flash this weekend to check it out and test for sure. I have a source that is putting the release of a OTA 2.2 on cell south to no earlier than the first quarter of '11 at best.

Have you had any issues with data on CM6?
I have been using CM6 as well on my cell south desire, I have not experienced any data issues. But it has only been a couple days since flash.
It seems a little slow but I think that is more Cell South than anything. I jump on wifi any chance I get. Still no MMS no matter what size file I try to send.
I would love to help with this... thank you for looking into it. Since it is not a "daily" rom, I really cannot run it too long until WiFi is fixed.
By lights is that the Message LED only correct? Or is it the Camera LED too?
Thanks again for starting this project! I would hope that you get the cyanogen kernel working, because I want the overclock
what can i do to help with this? i have a lot of time at work. but am far from a developer. CM6.1 is well on its way. id like to test for more devs. let me know what i can do. im flashing your rom now. then im going to try your MIUI

Camera LED is working.
Ok great... I'll load this up sometime tomorrow. I am doing a battery test on my phone today to see how CM6 compares to the 2.1 stock sense rom.
I'm in
I'm onboard i've been running your 2.2 w/o sice all day it works great. There have been a few things and i am sure i will find more in the next few days. But so far so good i will write in that thread what i find.But i am also gonna give this a shot tonight so i will hit you back with what happens.
hell yeah
After just 20 minutes of using this it is the [email protected]#$ other than the things you mentioned it is running great keep it up.
i just installed this and have been playing with it for an hour,and OMFG it is so sweet,thank you so much for working on this ROM. i will post any bugs i come across and hope it help to build better sense UI froyo ROMS for the CDMA desire!
thank you again! loving this so much right now i feel like a kid on Christmas!
i have formatted and partitioned my sd card ,the first one is 6 gigs fat32 and the 2nd is 2 gigs ext2. i cant get the SD card to show up on the phone,says its unmounted??? is this a known bug or something new. or am i doing something wrong? i will try taking the partition out and leaving it as 8 gigs fat32, however i thought that for APPS2SD needed a ext2 partition?
EDIT.... i deleted the ext partition and left the sd card as a full 8 gigs (7.65 gigs) fat32 and now this rom will see the sd card,however it will not move apps to the sd card.....
I don't think you are supposed to have an EXT partition more than about 1GB. That might be part of your problem.

apps2sd will not work with fat32 partitions. You must have an ext partition, recreate but don't go over a gig.
Sorry Dphase I didn't get a chance to load it up today... I had alot on my plate today. I will give it a shot tomorrow night and probably through the weekend. How is the battery life on this compared to 2.1? I am getting double the battery life on 2.2 cyanogen for the BravoC than I did with the stock rom, so I am having trouble getting myself to switch at this point.

thank you, i will try to recreate a smaller partition now and try again.
EDIT.. I cleaned up the sd card and started from scratch, set my fat32,then created a 512mb in ext2,(1st partition is fat32,2nd is ext2) same problem. when i start the phone it says on the top of the screen "safe to remove SD card" message goes away,then i go to settings/SD card it says the card is unavailable.
but if i format the whole card as fat32 it will show up and work for everything BUT apps2sd. i know that i wont be able to move apps till i get a ext partition on the card, i just cant get the phone to see the sd card after i set it up.
hey guys,
I have installed froyo 2.1 on my mytouch 3g (original), I have the 32B version, but it is kind of slow.
My question is, when setting the memory, Why is it important to set Swap to 96mb, ext2 to 512mb???
What would happen if i use bigger numbers....i.e. 128mb Swap and 640mb for ext2.
Sorry if this was answered before, I could not find info about it.
Thank you before hand!
so we all know the g2x's internal sd is a little complicated to use. but i cant let 8gb sit there unused. if the phone didnt have it, id probably buy a 32gb micro rather than 16. but anyway, MIUI mounts the internal as _InternalSD on the sdcard. which is perfect because music players find my music which is spread amongst both cards.
so how can i do that on hellfire sandwich? i tried editing the vold.fstab myself from mnt/emmc to mnt/sdcard/_InternalSD but it didnt work. help would be great!
side note:
was the g2x stock firmware a little different than normal gingerbread to accommodate the internal? i flashed weapong2x the day i opened it. because some apps like titanium backup allow me to navigate to emmc for backup location but others like playerpro dont care about emmc. so do stock firmware users just suffer?
First, don't mess with your vold.fstab unless you really know what your doing. Its a really easy way to brick your phone for a good few hours (or days if you dont know how to fix it)
mounting the internal on the external can cause some really nasty things to happen. Including wrong both sd cards as well as corrupting your /system and /data. There are correct ways to do it to avoid those problems, but it would involve hardcore modifications to alot of the cm7/cm9 rom and some of the scripts and kernel too.
Honestly, your best bet is to live with it. Eaglesblood ICS's developers are cooking something up to repurpose the internal for something more useful.
Even if you do get something working, theres a good chance something you do one day will break it and youll be up **** creek.
Also, the stock rom stack mounted the external on the internal, im not sure if any other modifications were made to make sure it played nice with android though.

well im just editing the path. googles little explanation at the top really helps
so miui did it the correct way? how did they do it? kernel and script changes like u said?
also, even if not working correctly, shouldnt it work? i just changed it from mnt/emmc to mnt/_InternalSD so if it listens to me. it should work -_-

because in cm7, there are a few spots where that is set, so changing the path in the volt.fstab is most likely getting overwritten by another part of the ROM.
and in cm9 based roms (like HFS) things are even more different, i wouldn't even know where to start here.
ive never run MIUI, but from what i understand, it does it backwards of the stock ROM, putting the internal on the external, which becomes a problem if you pop out the SD card, then the internal might get lost.
very bad things happen when an app expects a drive to be somewhere its not... sometimes resulting in corruption of entire partitions. (ive been here, not fun...)
i guess i could live with it. im trying to migrate all the stuff that apps require onto my sdcard and move all the stuff i usually browse to onto my internal
so music on external for the music app to find. then my movies on the eMMC, as i usually get there with file manager and then open with mx. i guess i could also move my APKs to internal? to even out the space.
i actually was considering a p925 (optimus 3d/thrill in usa) but it has no roms. id have to use stock im just really interested in the 3d scene
nevermind apparently thrill and o3d are interchangeable (when it comes to roms) and the o3d has a ****load of roms. so i guess im good. but im not even sure if im gonna switch. i just want to and might (its $150 on craigslist)
Hello Gang!
Great site and a wealth of info, but as the title reads I am new to the entire process. I am expecting my new Studio 5.5 610a tomorrow and I the main thing I want to do is to be able to access more ram or have the option or the ability to force install apps on a Micro SD chip along with saving data as well. My question I guess is, Will gaining root accomplish this alone or do I need to flash a ROM? I was looking At the Cyanogen Rom. Anyone care to give their opinions or anything. All info will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time guys.

i don't know if the Blu Studio 5.5 even has any custom roms, if your rooted you will be able to force apps to install on SDcard (Although some might not work such as widgets) as for ram increase i think the only way would be a partition swap which has to do with swapping Micro SDcard Storage for more RAM which doesn't even give you much more RAM and the life of the SDcard decreases faster (it should be only needed on Devices with incredibly low like the HTC T-mobile G1 with 192mb or the OG droid with 256mb)
Hi there,
I am using a samsung S7 since almost two years now, stock android. I am still super happy with it, except i see 32 GB internal memory, and it's almost full. Of course i could always remove some apps and docs, but here's the catch : i don't have that many apps, and all my personal files are in my 128 GB SD card.
I used to install modded Roms on my previous devices; that is how i heard of XDA forum, and i know there are skilled people around here I had the same issue with stock galaxy S5, and when moving it to Ressurection remix (which is a super Rom for that device), I noticed that i got back most of my internal memory. So my guess is that space is used by some backup when upgrading (which i did, from Marshmallow to Oreo, one at the time).
Either that assumption is correct or not, do you have any suggestion to get that space bac ? Else that the obvious moving to some Mod Rom ? Not that i don't like the idea, but as everything is set and working well for me now, i'd like to keep it that way. Just freeing that grey space.
Thanks for reading me, and for your comments !
