Just took the plunge....

and installed my first rom on my HTC Desire. Cyanogen, bit of a scary experience as im voiding the warranty by doing so. im such a rebel lol. Things are going well so far, no bricking or anything. Takes about 20 minutes right?

Cyanogen is probably the best mod out there. At least it's the most actively produced and used. There's a few changes I would make to it but so far I definitely like it. Don't forget to grab SetCPU for some speed tweaking on that phone.

Out of curiosity, which method are you using to install your custom rom? Clockworkmod?

[Donalt2010]

I'm using rom manager, with clockworkmod as the recovery. Is that right?? Sorta really new to this flashing business. And so far its still on the cyanogen loading screen....I'm scared:(

Did you wipe your phone before installing? If not, boot back into Clockworkmod recovery, and choose to wipe the /system partition.

Please let us know how it went. There are several other things you can do to get it working ;)

Yeah, you will need to wipe the data as it's a different rom and some settings will keep it from booting.

Still no joy people... Freaking out here

Ok so I finally got it sorted, had to install it from sd card in the recovery manager.. Have to say I'm impressed so far, the only little thing bugging me is the haptic feed back which isnt working when I'm texting, tried adjusting it but maybe it'll iron out in a few days:)
