St Hubert’s Idsworth – Chapel in the fields

Standing alone amid the fields of Old Idsworth is the little Chapel of St Hubert, Patron saint of hunters.

I is now a teenager

No one is more surprised than me but I have reached my teens. What better way than to be surprised been given by a shiny medal and chocolate fudge cake. Shared as a last-minute replacement at my Home Group this eve, good to reflect on how I landed with a bump in a rehab at 24 and what a journey its been, bumps and highs included.

ICS on Desire HD

That didn’t take long…..

Thanks to the excellent Ice Cold Sandwich ROM, I have Ice Cream Sandwich on my Desire HD. So far works smoother and faster than stock HTC Rom and CM7.

CyanogenMod7 on DesireHD

After many months of putting off rooting my phone for fear of bricking it, I finally took the plunge with custom rom’s having become bored with the vanilla HTC Sense UI and frustrated by the vodafone bloatware on the phone.

So tried CyanogenMod 7 and used the Advanced Ace Hack Kit

Root and went perfectly but install of the custom rom failed first time with a constantly looping splash screen.

Turned out I needed to do a complete wipe of the cache and a factory reset of the phone. Re-flashing the phone brought me to a working phone again.

Only prob after that was the lack of Google Market(play) but a quick search gave a solution on the CM wiki

 

A little tweaking of themes and wallpapers and I’ve got a phone I’m happy with again.

Cm7 DesireHD

 

Next step will be a decent ROM of ICS.
