There seems to be alot guides with simular instructions. My question is; with wildfire and 2.2.1 plus bootloader of (Hboot-1.01.0001) can this process be done.
Some other forums seem to say that due to the bootloader there is nothing that can be done.yet. Is this true? Another article that would be a good idea (especially if the above is not possible) is a tweak guide for lower end phones to get some games working on stock roms. Tips like aeroplane mode speeds up Angry Birds ect. Anyways great article, thanks for the read. I was thinking about flash my Wildfire or not, but I’m no sure yet. I have a few questions.
First of all, HTC have any features like mute phone when you put the phone upside down, is that feature implemented on Cyanogen Roms? Is really Cyanogen Rom faster than original rom? My HTC is running 2.2 with original rom but I don’t know if it’s really faster and better Cyanogen over original. Battery life is longer? Finally, is it possible install original rom and recover warranty? Thank you so much!
