Root ICS ROM question

[Dazza]

Hi All,

Has anyone tried this ICS ROM successfully on their Desire?

How to Update HTC Desire with ICS 4.0.4 Custom ROM Firmware - Android Advices

I'm looking to update my Android version and this seems pretty straightforward. I've only used one other ROM which I installed after rooting the phone using Unrevoked.

ICS generally won't fit on the desire without the use of a partitioned sd card.

 

[Dazza]

Thanks. So it's no good then?

 

[Tyseyh]

It could be stripped like mad, tbh, ICS is over rated.
Might as well go for GB ROM but themed.

Ok great. Do you have any recommendations? They'd be much appreciated.

 

[Tyseyh]

Afraid not, I don't own a Desire no more.

Is mildwild ics themed?

hi Dazza,

ive been thinking the same thing - should i bother to go ics :/ still not 100% sure as im not sure it really improves the desire much imo

think the only active GB rom is cronmod - im on this now and seems pretty good - maybe slightly less smooth than the best - these are dGB (super small) and mildwild ox 4.1.3 imo

cheers
dan

 

[Dazza]

Thanks. Any links to where to get these ROM's?

 

[dan55]

sure - here it is - lives in the all things root sticky at top of forum page

I am quite shocked you haven't yet Dan! CronMod eh? I'm trying the Sony Experia themed at the minute, but it seems similar to MildWild just slightly less polished!

I upgrade in 18 days - so this may be my last flash!

 

[dan55]

hi Jon,

i know! assume you will be going the s3 route then?

 

[Jon_LTD]

Pretty much set in stone now!

 

[dan55]

rather envious :/ its a rocking phone from what i hear - better than onex - enjoy sir

Hey Dan did you flash a ICS rom yet ? this nike lentze one seems to be doing the job for people -stable and good battery life

 

[dan55]

hi there
no not got round to it yet :-\ think I might need to change my hboot too as I'm
on cm7r2
thanks for the pics

 

[desarenezitic]

You mean my pics in the other thread? No problem but I'm desarenezitic not daysineuropa79

 

[dan55]

:-D oops sorry. that was confusing me :-D

 

[desarenezitic]

Lol, long incomprehensible usernames beginning with d, I knew I should have chosen something simple, like dan56 maybe...

 

[dan55]

:-D yes I think that one could work well ;-)

 

[daysineuropa79]

I always like to hear Dans comments about a rom before flashing it myself , read somewhere that there was a version of that rom made for cm7 hboot

 

[Hadron]

If that's Sandvold's ICS (a slightly old version - there are newer at xda) then I think it does fit stock partitions, but I'd strongly recommend partitioning the card if you want space for apps. Can be installed on CM7 partitions, but you absolutely do need an ext partition in that case.

The best advice is always to read the requirements from the xda thread or developer's site before installing a ROM

this one -nikez lente [ROM][BETA][ICS 4.0.4] Nikez Lente [1.0.1b2][05.07.12] - xda-developers
seems to be stable enough , worth a try ?

 

[dan55]

thanks guys. oh dear. seems like I'm going to have to face up to gparting my
card then :-\ been avoiding it up till now :-D

What's the opinion on Mini Partition Tool Wizard? I was dreading doing Gparted again when I rooted wifeys Wildfire S but the root guide recommended the Wizard and it was a lot easier tbh.
