Coredroid 6.8

Coredroid Roms

Get excited haha :p
Coredroid HD v6.8 was released last night for the DHD/Inspire, HD2, Incredible S and Desire S
As you can see not as many changes in the new release but still excited none the less.
Sergio (Coredroid dev) has chosen once again to use Leedroid's kernel after bouncing between Lee's and Mdeejay's for the past couple of releases so lets see how it goes

CoreDroid Desire HD GingerBread 2.3.3 v6.8(09/06/11)

• Some minor issues fixed

• And minor changes in skin

Coredroid HD 6.7 Release

So I'm jumping the gun here a little but I am pretty excited to see a new release from the Coredroid team but it feels like its been a while since 6.6. I haven't flashed it yet but its currently downloading and as you can tell I'm excited. I know I'm little late to catch on because it was released a few days ago.

Oh and some great news, the Coredroid Team have expanded with devices, the new additions are the Desire S and the Incredible S, whilst still including the HTC HD2, Inspire 4G and of course Desire HD

All the info can be found over at Coredroid Roms Site and xda Coredroid HD thread but I thought I would share a couple of things here.

What I've got running under the hood

My bad, I forgot to give the details on what stuff I'm running on my Desire HD

So it is true I am a coredroid addict I'm currently running their Coredroid HD 6.6 ROM on 2.36.405.8 Base

Kernel = Running 2 1.5ghz OnDemand with Leedroid's v3.1.2 that includes the new video drivers from Aurora

Radio = 12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2 - latest for the 2.36.405.8 Base
RIL = Included in Coredroid 6.6 ROM for the 12.54... Radio

Android Version = 2.3.3

Sense = 2.1 with bits and pieces from 3.0

This is a themed Rom that has been balanced with performance by different tweaks by the Coredroid Theme 

That is based on the latest release version of Android

Where to start...

First of all I have found the xda developers community in the past couple of months to be an absolute Godsend when it came to everything to do with my android device - HTC Desire HD... and more.
There comes a price to pay with this godsend though. Have to search through this endless supply of brilliant information to get you from a stock device to a device running so many customized features that provide endless fun, tailor your device to represent who you are and on the slight occasion give you a headache ;)

I started off doing some research on xda after a couple of Google searches, along the lines of 'what can I do with my Desire HD', and discovered the world of custom Roms or firmware.

I had the goal of a custom ROM, but didn't know how to get there and quite a few hours of searching and I was set.
The main thing that I had to do was give myself information to ensure that I either would ruin (A.K.A 'Bricking') my new DHD or that there would be a very minimal risk.
I then found a few guides on several different aspects of the processes required to get to my goal of 'flashing' my custom ROM.

More to the point the research was the annoying part because there were not really a guide that targeted the 'noobish' end user on the ways to accomplish this but know I have noticed a few popping up in the past and In my opinion I think I have found the best one thus far:
