HTC Desire HD owners can get their hands on the HTC Pyramid ROM

by 12 comments

“CapyChimp” over at XDA Developers just released a port of the HTC Pyramid ROM to all adventurous HTC Desire HD owners. The speed of the turn around does mean that in its current state, the ROM does have very limited functionality, but this does allow users to have a look around what those picking up an EVO 3D, Sensation or Flyer are in for.

The ROM comes complete with HTC’s Sense 3.0 UI and showcases some of it’s 3D features, but other than that, it’s still a very incomplete download. Basic functionality like the camera and video camera apps aren’t available, neither are sound effects and image sizes are distorted, but again, it’s been ported in only 24 hours!

CapyChimp advises prospective users to store any apps on their external memory cards and have them “symlinked” to system. Also, it’d be a good idea to backup and wipe your device before installing for the smoothest result and of course all this tinkering will probably void your warranty, so be aware what you’re in for. As time goes on you can expect more functionality to get bundled in, but for now, make the most of what you’ve got!
