I'm pleased to present my MoDaCo Custom ROM (Froyo 2.2.1) for the HTC Wildfire! READ THIS WHOLE POST BEFORE YOU START! No, really, it contains everything you need to know.

Remember that if you use this ROM, you do so entirely at your own risk!!

About MoDaCo Custom ROMs

MoDaCo Custom ROMs are based on official ROMs - either shipping or leaked. A MCR release is designed to feel as far as possible like a stock ROM, with optimisations, tweaks and complimentary additions that enhance the user experience. The aim of a MCR is to be ultra reliable for use on an everyday device.

Requirements

In order to use this ROM on your device, you must have a custom recovery image installed (Clockwork Mod).

Features

• Based on an as yet unreleased official European Froyo update (2.22.405.1 / Froyo 2.2.1)
  
• Pre-rooted with su and Superuser Permissions by ChainsDD
  
• Built, tweaked and massaged with the MCR build process which reduces the size and boosts the speed of the ROM
  
• Patched 'Rosie' (Sense) to allow click-drag homescreen rearrange when pinch-zoomed out
  
• busybox with Droid Explorer support
  
• MCR version displayed in 'About' screen
  
• terminfo and settings in boot.img to allow nano etc. use
  
• Insecure boot image (ro.secure=0) with init.d support
  
• ROM is de-odexed
  
• Updated Google Components
  
• Updated Flashlight which now becomes 'Torch' for non en-US configuration.
  
• Added Voice Search with Voice Actions
  
• Added option to use stock lock screen instead of HTC version
  
• Slimmed Customize dir, additional locales added
  
• Optional Titanium Backup
  
• Optional Wavesecure via the online kitchen (installed to system partition for maximum security)
  
• Optional WiFi Status indicator
  
• Optional 13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10 radio
  
• More stuff i've probably forgotten
  
• Optional bootsound removal

Please note that this is the first release, many more changes will be added now via the kitchen and periodically updated prebakes (as per normal MCR builds!)

Changelog

Please see 2 posts below this one for the changes in each release.

Installation

To install this ROM:

• Download the zip file of your choice from the links below (or the online kitchen) and copy to your SD card
  
• Restart your device in recovery mode
  
• PERFORM A NANDROID BACKUP FROM THE MENU
  
• Select the option to apply an update zip, and select the zip file you copied to your memory card

Please note that as a de-odexed ROM, the initial boot takes a while!

Upgrading

No wipe is explicitly required in order to use this ROM, however if you do encounter issues of any kind, it is recommended that you wipe your device and reproduce the issue before raising it here.

Downloads

This ROM is now available in the online kitchen - see the post below for details! In addition to the kitchen, 2 prebakes (with and without the MoDaCo Additions) are also available.

• r1 (default options including MoDaCo additions) - DOWNLOAD (Mediafire Pro) - MD5: b278f1ce4755791106112fee8b0349a4
  
• r1 (default options WITHOUT MoDaCo additions) - DOWNLOAD (Mediafire Pro) - MD5: aab9a497f452c8f50b6049216ad3b539

Please note that the download links implement referring checking to avoid deep-linking. If you are redirected to the MoDaCo homepage when you download, try 'right click save as', disabling ad blocking / no script or if all else fails try an alternative browser.

Thanks

It's impossible to mention everyone who contributes to the Android community by name, but to everyone out there who does great work and shares it with us all - you have my gratitude and respect.

And finally...

If you would like to show your appreciation for the ROM, please consider supporting MoDaCo by signing up for a MoDaCo Ad Free or MoDaCo Plus account, both of which also give you early access to Beta ROM releases and access to the the online kitchens.

Enjoy!

There may be a short wait while the load balancing software determines the best kitchen to serve your ROM. The kitchen should appear below within 20 seconds.

Hey Paul,

Just curious, is this based on a more recent leak or the old Chinese one?

[rikwebb]

Installed - but getting re-boot's at the quietly brilliant screen - just goes round in a loop!

Just running a restore - finger crossed (or she will kill me!)

Did you wipe first? That usually fixes boot loops.

Just tried full wipe and its worked :)

Thanks
Rik

EDIT: Is there a way of getting all her stuff back - apps, settings etc ??

Yeah, you can back up pretty much everything using Titanium Backup, but since you have already installed the new ROM, you're gonna have to restore the previous one, run TB, batch backup all apps & settings, wipe everything again, install new ROM, batch restore apps & settings via TB.

[PaulOBrien]

This is a brand new European leak.

For those that had time to try it out, is there a noticeable performance increase going from 2.1? Will flash this for my fiancée Wildfire tonight.

Best Regards

Hey,

First, let me thank you for all the work you have done.

Second: it states: "Added option to use stock lock screen instead of HTC version" so If I unckeck the HTC Lockscreen option in the kitchen will I get the default Android lockscreen with drag left and right? or does it just remove the HTC theme and I still need to swipe up and down?

Like so:

[PaulOBrien]

It should give you the 'eft and right' screen.

I like how most people say their wives, girlfriends, fiancees have wildfires.

I shall chime in and say my fiancee also has one in red and is looking forward to some tasty froyo
