HTC Desire custom ROM – Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich CM9

The old HTC Desire gets its new life too with the latest ported version of Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich, the ROM is cooked by dk_zero-cool @ XDA-Developers and is based on CM9 sources. The good news – this ROM supports both GSM and CDMA versions of the phone, so flash it now 🙂

This ROM needs at least 180mb on the /system partition. Best choice would be AplhaRev Data++ as it leaves some space on /data as well.

Missing Features

  • Camera/Recorder (However, a hack for this issue is included, but without preview)
  • USB Tethering

 

How-to install:

  • Remember that its good to clear dalvik-cache to avoid issues
  • This ROM is not signed, so disable signature verification before flashing
  • Do not restore app data from any older Gingerbread backups (APK’s are OK)

Note: the CM9 source is still under development. Some things will be missing, and others might at times be unstable.
