I'm a noob so please pardon me.
I'm searching for a nice HTC Sense 4 ROM so that I can feel that I have like an HTC phone, the problem is that I don't really know how to determine if the ROM can run on any Android ICS phone.
To be specific, here's the ROM I wanted to put in my phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957585
In the instructions in the link above, what did the author mean about "flash the ROM and flash CDMA Converter 1.0" ?
And lastly, the term "wipe" in Android means something like reformatting your computer or Factory Reset, right?
Btw, my phone is a Cherry Mobile Flare, it's just a phone made here locally in the PH.
For those who'd answer all of my questions, I give you my gratitude.
This ROM is for One V. You can't just simply install a ROM , which isn't for your device....you must port it.
Its only for HTC One V

Hi, guy. I'm new to android, inspire 4g is my first smartphone. I spent a tone of time learn how to root, radio s-off, sim-unlock my device. I used the "hackerize-ace" package V9. I'm currently using 【rom】 Android Revolution 4G 3.2， 【bootloader】 ace-hacker SHIP-S-Off(something like this), 【clockworkmod recovery】 3.0.0.6 (something like this) 【software version】2.2.1 . I'm having a hard time trying to install a new theme for my phone, can anyone help me out? provide me with more detailed steps? Thank you very much. If you need more information in order to help, please let me know.

What kind of trouble are you having? What is happening when you try to flash the theme? I am assuming you have flashed the rom then a full reboot then flash the theme.
ummm, I flash the rom, then reboot device, then use rom manage to install(in recovery). But, the theme did not appear the same as post. And some places, like the phonebook/contacts list looked mess up.
For your contact list, sounds like a font provlem. Your best bet would be to ask the theme dev.

Make sure you are installing the 1.84 version of whatever theme you choose. That may be your problem.

Its just sad you know...
WHEN WILL YOU START READING!!!!!
It clearly says:
"BootManager will not work with Samsung devices that are not listed because of the way Samsung handles the boot partition. Motorola phone's with a locked bootloader will also not currently work. Check compatible phones above."
which you can find on:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.drx2.bootmanager
which is already provided on:

So start reading and stop asking!!!!
Also please change the thread name to [REQ] or [QUESTION]
It is misleading.

We need dual boot kernel For that
There are even multi boot kernels. I was using a g3 with multiboot kernel. I have personally tested it out myself and its good, however no1 has stepped out to compile a multiboot kernel. Anyway its not very important, worse come to worse, just use nandroid backups to restore and switch roms

Hi everyone,
I have a Desire S which i flashed a few days ago and installed Cyanogenmod 7.2, however I dont like that rom too much and I'm considering flashing the MIUI rom for the Desire S, I need to know a few things can someone please help?
1) Is the MIUI rom a good rom?
2) I have flashed using 4ext recovery to cyaogenmod 7.2 can i use the 4ext recovery to flash MIUI or do i need another recovery tool?
I read the instructions on MIUI website and they recommend flashing using revolutionary, so i am confused now, is it that u need a different tool everytime u want to flash a new rom?
Please help

1) Old MIUI (GB-based) is stable. New MIUI (ICS-based) doesn't seem to be from when I ran it
2) Yes - read the MIUI thread in the Dev forum and you will find everything you need in there

1) MIUI by all means is a good rom . There is no disputing that especially since they made use of kernel 3 which makes it much better.
You said that you were using CM 7.2 >
I dont mean to influence you in any way but I had honestly been sick of all the rumors about the desire s ics update so as to when it will finally hit shores and also regarding the carrier update timelines, especially since htc sense 3.0 made me dread using my phone. rebooting took nearly four mins on average.
After rooting i took the plunge and flashed a Jelly Bean rom ( currently using JellyTime CM10 Saga R10.1 | Unofficial CM10 With Kernel 3).In all honesty its one of the best decisions ive made. Project butter is a dream .
No lag whatsoever and free ram hovers around 250-400 as opposed to 70-220 when it was running sense 3.0. The only drawback Ive found is that the front camera doesnt work, which i think isnt too big of a deterrent for me.
Rest assured the dev (blindndumb) is already working on it. You can check it out on his site www.blindndumb.com . Also there are a plethora of roms available for the desire s
2)About the recovery part I cant exactly vouch for that, personally I've been using 4Ext and have no problems whatsoever. Ive flashed about 15-20 roms and have found no problems.
P.S
Also if you if miss the MIUI interface you can always opt for a MIUI theme. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1853132 .
Hope i've helped

Just to try and clear up a misconception here. Free RAM is wasted RAM. Having 300MB of RAM unused is no better than having 50MB unused.

Agreed, but basic switching of home launchers almost brought the phone to a stand still. Also gameloft titles compatible with the desire s often forced closed and suffer lag. I have no issues with it now.

Thanks for that - but I have always learnt the opposite. You have thrown a great article in there, but there are plenty of people far more knowledgeable than me who argue the other way to that.
A good example is here. This report was originally inteded as a discussion about the use of Task Killers on Android (something which I do not understand why anyone would use) but if you read the comments (there are a hell of a lot of them) below the main article then you will find that nobody seems to actually be able to say for certain one way or another.

Yep, there is a BIG misconception about task killers.
Still, I''ve read just a few of those comments, and I think people keep confusing free RAM with unused RAM. For example, built-in task manager shows "free" ram, but that's only RAM not being used to cache apps. Below that, the rest of the ram available is always being used to cache system parts (many of which, sincerily, I don't really understand) which makes the phone run smooth. Knowing he ammount of "free" RAM required to cache all those system parts and trying to always have it available is the key to having a smoother system.
There are some "min values" of free ram that trigger the process killing, and in some roms (Venom Tweaks on chinese rom, for example) you can edit those min values. If unused RAM was wasted RAM, then those free-RAM-process-killing-triggering-levels would be close to 0, right? but still, they are something like 64MB default, so that, to me, is a little living proof that "free" RAM is not unused.
Anyway, in my head it all makes perfect sense, but it is hard to express it writing here, specially in another language!
EDIT: of course, I am sure that if I read all the answers, there would be people making much more sense than the ones I read. but there are thousands!

Revolutionary is a tool to unlock the phone, not a custom recovery.
You can flash miui or any other Rom with 4ext, or a different custom recovery, like cwm. 4ext seems to be the most reliable and feature-rich recovery at the moment.

Hi everybody i have installed the stock Panaroid ROM with 4.1. So I wanted to install a non market app of course I have enable non market apps checked but when I want to press install the phone doesn't do anything. Has someone the same problems or has someone a solution for this problem ?
Thanks in advance

You're on stock TMO DE JB, I think?
HTC invented a write protection with that update. It's hard coded into the stock kernel and prevents you from writing anything into the system folder.
All you have to do in this case is to flash a custom kernel for sense. Please look for flar2s elemental or bulletproof kernel in the development section and flash one of them. Bulletproof is as close as possible to stock.
I think thats it. Else write an answer here.
No I've changed to panaroid

The OTA should be rolling out within a month or so I imagine.. hopefully you won't have to wait too long.
