Hello everyone,
I've put up with the constraints of the Desire's internal memory for long enough now. I've decided I want to S-OFF and change the stock Hboot.
I wondered if anybody could tell me a little about how I go about this process, and recommend which boot thing to use.
I flash a lot of ROMS, and I know that in doing this I will restrict myself in the number of ROMS I can flash, so ideally I'd like an Hboot which allows me to retain as much flexibility in the number of ROMS I can flash as possible. In that sense, I'm not looking for a huge chunk of additional storage - 50mb or so would go a long way for me.
Some Hboots also differ widely in the amount of cache they leave with some going down to the likes of only 5mb ... I don't understand this as surely you need much more than this for app cache?
Finally, obviously I know Sense ROMS are for the most part massive, but I now really only use AOSP and Miui very occasionally. Typically these are <100MB or dead on 100MB. Would the likes of CM7 R2 allow me to still use my current ROM which is the main ICS ROM from XDA for the Desire? I am not prepared to make this change if I have to give up ICS haha
Also, I'm not already S-OFF'd - I presume I need to do this first? Any tips haha?
Thanks, as always.
