X1 roms

Are the roms on this forums better than the latest official roms from Sony and what extras do they bring?
Also, can you go back to the official one without loosing your warranty?
Thanks for your help.
Hi there, since you're new I'll cut you some slack and help you with some links. I know your join date is June 2007, but you have 3 posts to your name.
In future though, try to use the "Search" button up at the top-right of the screen.
This forum section is dedicated to SE X1 ROMs, flashing and all related activities with our phone. Pay attention to the sticky threads as they give useful information for newcomers.

Yes, many people consider the ROMs being cooked here on XDA-Dev to be superior to the original SE ROMs for a number of reasons.
You could have a "lite" ROM with all the excess programs stripped out so you have the leanest sized ROM for maximum storage capacity.
You could have a "Full" ROM with speed optimisations and a LOAD of programs integrated.
Some ROMs address different languages or world regions and some are just one person's preferred setup.
In the end, it's up to you which ROM you want to try. This is a list of ROMs that are currently being supported and developed here.

YES, it is possible to perform these upgrades without damaging your warranty. Most custom ROMs need something called Hard-SPL installed to allow installation of non-SE ROMs. It is also possible flash back to your original SPL if you need to send the phone back under warranty.

Flashing a ROM to your phone is not something to be undertaken lightly as it is *POSSIBLE* (though not likely) that you could brick your phone (make your phone unusable). Here's a step-by-step howto for flashing a ROM.

Hero ROM database. Are there any?

Hi all.
I'm happily using MoDaCo's mod.
I used to play with the Magic in the past and there is a nice website with a list of the available custom ROM for the G1.
Is there any similar web site for the Hero?
Do the Dream ROMs work on the hero? (n00b question, I do know!)
I think at the moment the only custom ROM available is the Modaco ones. Hence a ROM list isn't really needed as there is only one.
And nope Dream (G1) Rom's don't currently work on the Hero.
Thanks ofr the infos.
As I'm a kind of n00b for this "world", do you have any references to some technical documentation (like boot stack etc)?
... and what about those builds named "RogHero", "JACxHERO" and the likes?
They are still ROMs for the HTC Dream/Magic/Saphire.
Basically if it isn't in this sub-section of the Hero forum then it's not for your device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=512
The phone is still very new, give it time and soon more and more people will be developing for it.

Discuss the Wiki

The purpose of this thread is to solicit discussion on Supersonic related wiki pages since everyone may not be comfortable updating the wiki directly or familiar with the wiki syntax. This will also serve as a sanity check for the people maintaining the wiki pages to ensure we are getting the right information out in the best possible format and organization.
You can view all Supersonic related wiki pages here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Category:HTC_Supersonic

Custom Roms vs. Dev Roms
What do we see as the difference between Custom Roms (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Supersonic/ROMs#Custom_ROMS) and Dev Roms (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Supersonic/ROMs#Dev-ROMs)?
All Roms are pretty much under constant development. I think these two tables should be combined.
Added CyanogenMod wiki page
Wiki page devoted to our favorite community based AOSP ROM

Missing a theme? Or other key information? Let us know.
don't know if this thread is still active, but as I'm unfamiliar with editing wikis, but I'm full of ideas (and I have a big mouth), I thought I'd list some discussion items here. I'm working on the assumption that the wiki should be one of the, if not the, first place new users shouldbe looking to get information.
1 - remove the radios from the rom section, and give it it's own section on the main wiki page - it's too confusing for new users to locate this information under roms
2 - instead of just linking to roms, kernels, radios, etc. from the main page there should be a few sentances on what each is above the link to the new page - something simple defining each term, and some basic instructions on how to flash each (what should be wiped, what goes on top of what, etc).
3 - would also like to see some info on the main wiki page on nandroid (and the importance of nand backups), hboot, recovery info for both amon ra and clockwork, what wiping means and what it does, themes and themeing, and possibly even a section on popular apps and what they do, like setcpu (and what it means to over/underclock), various launchers (like rosie, adw, launcherpro, etc), and various benchmarking tools and what they measure.
I could probably think up a bunch more, but I'll see what kind of response this gets before posting more
Bump from the dead. no new ideas, thoughts, or suggestions for the wiki?

What about an android development setup environment guide to Linux? Forgive me if I have not searched throughly for a good guide.
Seems this may be dead but this is worth a try.
I would like to add a link to some RUU's provided by Football

This would be extremely helpful for those wanting to revert to stock for any reason.

[Q] Should a sticky be created for kernels?

Am I the only who has some difficulties in finding Android kernels for replacing the ones often present in ROMS ?
Shouldn't there be a kernel exclusive thread, much as like the Radio one present in the WinMo forum?
What are your thoughts about this? How do you usually search for those kernels?
Best Regards.
a) Click search
b) Type "kernel"
c) Change drop down menu choice to "titles only"
d) Run search
Whats so hard about that?
I suppose you ran that search. I am well aware of the search function. That query will also show up ROM thread tittles among any other title with the word kernel in it. As most Rom threads put their used kernel in the title, they show up in the results.
There is nothing difficult in accessing the search function. But then why would in WinMo forums be created a Radio thread? Afterall, couldn't you run a query with the term Radio? You could, and you would see a lot of rom threads as well.
So, that isn't that much of an answer. I never said i couldn't find kernels. I said that i found it to be more difficult as I had to run a search query and browse trough a lot of results.
Still, good to see that you also use the same mechanism as I do.
Cheers

How could the hd2 forums could be organized even further

There are a LOT of roms and there are a LOT of updates. The hard work of the devs is clearly visible, however it is a pain in the a## to find for example a froyo sense rom or froyo cm rom.
What I suggest is this:
*As subforums to the the nand dev forum
HD2 Android NAND Development
- AOSP ROMS
- SENSE ROMS
- MIUI ROMS
- Misc ROMS
- KERNEL dev
- General FIXES dev (it could even be read only for non recognized devs)
Having this could greatly lower the length of the title in roms and the first item in the title could be the android version.
I would even go as far as offering my help as a temp mod to tidy up into this configuration or something we would most agree on.
like this?
