HTC Desire

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.
