I just wanted to say thank you to all the people who contribute to this forum. I have been coming to XDA for months now. I have a HTC Touch Viva and have been coming here to get my roms for it. My brand spanking new G1 is going to arrive tomorrow. I have been reading up for the past 2 days on how to root my phone. I have decided to go with CyanogenMod v4.0.3 - stable(mostly cause the benchmarks I have seen). Since I dualboot linux and Vista I am going to partion my Transcend 8gb Class 6 SD card ahead of time. I am going to used the 1-click method. I have the newest radio and SPL ready to go. Just in case I want to change to a different rom(maybe hero). I think I read some where about a PVT and DVT board? Which one is newer? Which one is most likely to be in my new one?
Once again Thank You, you guys are awesome. And keep up the good work.
If you are in the us, it is must likely pvt but just go into the bootloader by pressing camera and power button and it is your first peice of info on there, set yourself up with a 96mb swap partion to set yourself up from the start
If I were you I would not do the one click method and use this guide.

You don't have to but seen people having issues with it.
I would like to say thanks to you ginronin. A lot of newcomers have been around here and they never want to read up or study anything. Asking us to give them customized instructions on how to get root and install hero roms. It is nice to know people are still willing to put some time and energy into this rather then wanting to be spoon fed.

Just in case you already downloaded the rom to be ready to go: Don't forget to go with Cyanogen 4.0.3.1. 4.0.3 has issues.
Thanks guys for all the advice. Cyanogen's mods keep updating so fast lol I was just about to flash the 4.0.3 lol. Thanks for all the help and advice.
DONE!!!
Thanks to this great Forum. I now have a ROOT G1!! running Cyanogenmod v4.0.3.1. I was afraid for a second but everything is good now. The one-click method worked like a charm. Thanks to all who were involved with making ROMs and building up this great community.

Is it possible to get android 2.0 on your HTC Hero on the Sprint Network. If so, could you give instructions on how I'm not all that technically advanced, any help would be much appreciated.

there is a mostly working 2.1 on here in the stickys ant the top on the forum as well as an ASOP 2.0 build but I would give it a few days to a week and now that the kernel source has been released the great devs here should have a fully working build very soon.
Thanks alot, is there much of a risk doing that?
No, Sprint has not release a newer version of Android for the Hero than 1.5.

As long as you flash a CDMA Hero ROM & install the custom recovery image, there isn't much risk.
Sprint has not released the 2.1 update for the Hero yet and does not have any confirmed date on when it will be available.
The devs here have several 2.x ROMS with partial functionality, and instructions on how to root your phone and flash them are usually on the first page of their respective threads. Also, check the wiki at the top. It's new and needs a little polish, but it's a repository for all ROMS and guides you'll need.
HTC just released the source code for the CDMA kernel, and with that the devs here should have a fully functional 2.x ROM soon.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593015
This is the 2.1 Beta. But yeah just like wtphoto said. Give it some time before it gets fully furnished for day to day use.
Only if you can't follow VERY simple instructions

click the links on my previous post to read what you need to do.
PLEASE read everything, then re-read it , then read it while you are doing it. there have been many people that have not done so and bricked thier phones
as the old adage goes measure twice cut once.
as far as flash the stock ROM allows flash, that being said there are some file formats that it wont play but for the most part its pretty good.

Sorry wrong thread
Hey guys I just got a HD2 and ive messed around with them before but I'd like to know the most stable and up 2 date android build that people are running with htc sense on the hd2? ive looked around and there seems to be so many and so much info im getting lost on what build is best and where to go with it.. so if you know the best MOST STABLE UP TO DATE BUILD with HTC sense please send me in the right direction thanks!
Everyone has different experiences and expectations, so the only person that can answer that question is you. You just need to try some of the latest builds that are available and that suit your needs.
so far, I make my own mix from base builds and I find it stable. everything works.
how do i know what the latest build is or what the most stable is and where do i find it?

If you want to flash Android to the phone so that it removes Windows, go here...

The builds/ROMs are all dated, so you can tell when they were made.
ALL the information you need about running Android can be found in those forums. Make sure you read the stickied threads at the top of the forums for information.
I have no idea why nobody will help you, I mean there is plenty of stickies/guides they could look for, and search function they could use to do teh work for you, plus everything is date and organised but... meh.
Anyway, I find this site to be more help as it lists everything step by step and keeps track of all the most stable builds for you, its honestly the best place to start before you jump in.

is it hard to say this is the newest most stable up 2 date build that has android and sense? and am i right from what i understand any windows mobile rom 3.14.531.1 and radio 2.15.50.14 work with any of them so all i have to do is drop the files on the sd card and run the 2 files?

Indeed, and for every one smartass there are 100 people who come on ask a question that has been asked a MILLION times and expect to get straight answers!!
a) SEARCH
b) READ
c) LEARN
d) TRY
Your question has been asked a million times so there is no need to ask it again, just read the answers that have already been provided. Plus the answer to the question is subjective so you will not get a real answer because what will be stable for one person may not be stable for you.

Then go try some Desire HD or Z builds
The build that I am using is been very stable. Info is in my signature. It is a desire hd based Android sense Rom that runs via the SD card.
For initial set up I would stick with SD card or RAM builds as you can mess things up in nand builds and its a tedious process to get back to original settings. With SD card based builds if you don't like something then copy paste is all that's needed to get ur old settings.
For a guide to set it up look in the link in my signature

Hey everyone,
I'm an X G2x user, and over there in "G2x" land I rooted my phone first.
Then I flashed Clockwork recovery on it
THEN I had a smorgishboard selection of "Roms" to put on my phone.
Here's where i'm confused with the Galaxy S 2, and Terminology really..
What "do we have" here with the SGS2 so far?
Just rooting it? I see over on the dev section people talking about all these kernels... what is that? are they like Roms? Has anyone mad a rom? can we flash it like clockwork mod recovery?
Just a little confused with the differences in terminology and procedures over here on the samsung side.. thanks
No custom roms yet, no CWM either. Just kernels and root....the kernel is a bridge between applications and hardware basically. Terminology shouldn't be that much different really.

Kernels are the base interface between OS and hardware and part of a rom
Has anyone mad a rom? no can we flash it like clockwork mod recovery? no
Far to early for all that SGS2 been out a week + devs in many cases do not yet have SGS2 ( donate one to them ) .
Devs are not getting paid for all this work so as and when they find time and the money to buy SGS2 .
SGS2 is being worked on and no doubt more in the future .

when is urs coming buddy ? i feel like posting it to you once i get my hands on this coming tuesday... because i have seen so many posts where you are quoting that you have been waiting for your device & its still not delivered because of delay..
is it true that you r waiting for the device with NFC or its just a delivery delay ?
First and foremost i wanna send my thanx and admiration to Crowds for his amazing work with this ROM. Everything he has done has been amazing.
I am hoping to continue the work that Ricardo has done and carry on the expantsion and updating of this rom.
But i am new.
This will be my first ROM.
So i am calling for your help. I need to know what i need to do.
-What proigrams are the best to use
-How has Crowds done this work so far? I know its a port of FXP and MIUI, with some ICS elements but which? Do i start with FXP then blend MIUI over it? If so which parts?
-Which version of FXP (7.2 or 9.0)?
-Which version of MIUI?
Basically i am starting from scratch with the whole ROM dev. I am fast learner, a fellow geek, and i want to do this right. Please bare with me because i may ask stupid questions at times. I just need help.
So far i have a few things to read up on and try out. For now im just going to be faffing around seeing what i can do. But my main objective is to update and upgrade the current ROM with the new versions of FXP and MIUI. Then once i am confident with it i have a few ideas of my own that i want to try.
So far i have these that im going to read up on. If yuou have anymore sugestions or and info for me....please send my it

The good combination will be MIUI\CM9, because its newest thing what we can get, but its gonna be hard to do, specially if you do not have any previous knowledge about porting, developing, so for now you can start with fxp CM7.2
First get stable ROM, then start with modification of same one,my suggestion.
cheers

Almost CM 9.0 FXP !
Because 7.2 is Old ,
You need New Source & New Design !
i get that cm9.0 is the new and best one. but obviously im new to all this.....so i wanna know which fxp crowds was using and just start my expedition by updating what he has done....i know fxp has released cm7.2 AND cm9.0 both with fxp106
As im new i wanna start by following the road set before me.
So far this rom is FXP052 and miui
but which miui? and is it already cm9.0 or is it just cm7.2? porting a whole new rom to the one will be a big peice of work and i am brand new to this
It's a great initiative and I really gotta add the importance of the RTL fix for Arabic & Farsi Support, as I've installed the BlackEditionHD FXP25-MIUI but none of the RTL patches work as I do even know which MIUI version is being used?
Regards.

Well now i gotta wait my hour before downloading the file again, and hopefully i can start work on this rom

Whatever you do, don't put paid apps in your rom. I'm not saying that's what u were going to do. I'm just concerned for new devs. A few people have gotten in trouble for posting "warez" recently, so... yeah. Just trying to help
Not trying to offend, and if that isn't what you were talking about then disregard my ramblings.
And I suggest xloud, assuming you could get it to work... Not sure what mods need to be done for that.

hey guys
The rom is working freaking awesomly, but i need some help with my theme.
The rom is fxp + miui blend, miui on top of fxp. I have the theme i want saved, backed up etc. And i have the script set so it installs with the rom. Everything is fine with the install process, but when i install the rom, the theme is applied, but the lockscreen wallpaper, and homescreen wallpaper revert back to their stock images and not the images i have set.....
Obv i dont want to see a hd pic of the seaside...i want the images i have chosen. Can someone help?
Well I finally figured out where the hell the dam pictures go!
I think I'm ready to release the first version of the rom.
I'll post the thread links tomorrow when it's ready. But first I got a gf to cozy upto

Hi All
I am a noob lol
I have a Acer_A500_7.066.01_com_Gen (not rooted)Running on 3.2 only got download for this a few days ago.
Is the UK going to get ics? Or is there a way to download it my self?
If so could some one give me a step-by-step guide as I am a noob.

[/COLOR]There are a 2 (maybe 3) ICS Roms currently available.
1. Look in the DEV sub forum for the leaked ICS rom. This is pretty close to what the official ACER rom will look like when it finally comes out.
2. There is a dev here called Protekk. (he is the maybe above) no real info on his stuff, but search here about it.
3. There is a fully working (minus camera) ICS ROM that is very well received by a dev who does not post his work here. Search for "Tegra Owners Forum" via google to find his link. He is also the dev that got CWM working for the Acer.
For any of the above, you will need to Root your device. There are lots for threads on that in these forums.
Enjoy.
as of right now there is no release of ics for our acers.
if you are refering to the "leak " scene on another thread, it is being used by the great, hard working devs to make us our ics. saying that if you are stating that you are a noob, than i really suggest you dot screw arround with what has been "leaked" or you will probably regret it as people are having some problems trying to flash this rom.
there is an ics rom out there with some minor bugs but you will have to search for that yourself
i would just wait and there will be some stable roms out soon
hope that helps
Dr
Thanks for that might just site back and wait don't want to break my Acer only had for one month lol

yup... im gonna wait for a good rom ( moscow i hope you listening lmao ) good things will come to people that are patient
I so agree with Dr .. this acer ics leak is a Dev alpha build its missing a apps and components from the ICS That acer will release..It is also very likely that you will have to flash back to 3.2.1 to update to the acer ics rom when they push it OTA. as this rom has a new boot loader that seems to be Completely different
Big warning.. if you flash this . YOU MUST GET YOUR UID SAVE AND SOUND FIRST.. AS THIS NEW BOOT LOADER IS SUSPECTED TO BE CHANGING IT. This will prevent you from reverting back..
as far as the other rom mentioned above well only thing i will say . Read more about it before you flash. IT However is safe as far as the ability to return to Stock.
good luck If you are not comfortable flashing your tablet i suggest to wait or do much more reading. Asking for a step by step without basic knowledge is Dangerous..
Good Luck..
Erica
Thanks for your advice.
Think I will just sit back and chill until Acer release ICS for us all,but the sooner the better.

You are correct to say that Thors rom seems to work well. But the op clearly (not meant to be disrespectful to OP) does not have the knowledge to do the downgrade to root procedure . Nor do i believe he wants to Do so.I think just finding and following a walk thru without atlest some knowledge is dangerous. But If he decides to and wants to try a Stock ics . Thor's ics is likely the safest way to go..
I just believe myself that if someone has to ask they should read more. And not become flash happy. Even following a tutorial can go wrong.. ALSO KNOW how to get out of trouble up front.Just in case something goes wrong.
There is no right answer. its about comfort level of the Person.
Asking questions before hand isn't a bad thing. It also doesn't show they don't know what they are doing. I ask questions, but I have a general feel for what I'm doing.
