I would like to apologize if this is the wrong area to put this I am new, and assumed since I'm talking about a possible ROM you guys call it, it would go in development.
Hi guys I'm completely new to these forums and I'm new o android, however I managed to root my myTouch 4G and got ROM manager and all that down. But I'm seeing people with STOCK Android on their myTouch 4Gs and I'm wondering how? Is there a possible link that would put me in the right direction???

If you're thread title has "Question" in it and/or your thread ends with "???" it's belongs in the Q&A section. By seeing do you mean you actually with your eyes saw? or heard people talking about running stock on here? cause on here running "stock" does not mean the same thing as "vanilla" or regular android. It means they're running the rom the phone came with.

On stock or "Vanilla", "AOSP", or Cyanogen Mod... or any other non-sense version of the phone you will not be able to run the HTC widgets, but I'm sure there are some similar ones out there if you look.

I noticed that even though the ICS source code is now available Google only has Android 2.3.7 drivers for the Nexus S 4G's internal hardware (CDMA/WiMAX, Orientation Sensor, etc) available currently. Is it possible to compile a working version of ICS using the Android 2.3.7 drivers for the Nexus S 4G? Also, if I follow Google's compile instructions to the letter is there an easy way to backup my current stock ROM? Google's official stock ROM's for the Nexus S 4G phone has a script called "install-recovery.sh" that runs on boot removing Clockwork. Am I correct in assuming that ICS would do this if I compiled it myself per Google's instructions and flashed it to my phone?

I'd rather compile my own. As stated in my original post I just need a couple of questions answered first. Otherwise there won't be any new ROM's from me in your so-called lovely dev section.
This will be moved once a mod sees it, but, next time know this. People will be more apt to help you out if you put a thread like this in q& a or even maybe general instead of mucking up dev forum with a non dev thread.

OP, I apologize for the others lack of decorum on this site. I am afraid that I am not much help, but I have a couple of suggestions:
As far as the backup, you can make a nandroid and once you are done playing around you can reboot into the boot loader and use the fastboot to reload the recovery onto the phone. From there you can re-install the nandroid backup. Keep in mind that you might want to copy the backup off of the SD card just in case you need to lock/unlock the phone. (This erases the sd card.)

I would assume everyone has that problem. But since it's still in beta, I'm sure live wallpapers working is at the bottom of the "to do list" for the ROM.

Probably because the OP directly states to use the Q&A section for queries, since this is a DEV ROM. That ROMs thread is mainly for users who can point out bugs by submitting logcats and other useful info. That's why it was closed once already, because users where getting off topic of development by asking questions like this. This is the perfect place to ask this question....it is the Q&A section.

That was a unique request by that particular dev because that ROM was in an unusually early stage of development. Normally questions are more than welcome in ROM threads.

Temp root is just temporary rooting the phone.. Usually after you restart your phone it goes away..permanent root is rooting your permanently..even after you shutoff or restart your phone it stays root.. Then you can install/flash custom roms etc..try looking at the guide resources bible.. And Google some terms you don't understand...also YouTube " root mytouch4g" look at as much videos as you can before you start doing anything...
Am guessing you have version 2.3.4.. Press menu..settings...about phone..software information...android version.. What does it say...
If it says 2.3.4 then you need to downgrade to 2.1 before you can before root your phone.
Also take time to read this....

rooting and CFW
Haha, I remember being in your exact position, except i had to downgrade. But here's what I did bro. Follow this link: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Glacier:_Full_Update_Guide. It will tell you all about rooting and downgrading if you have to. It's what I used to root my Glacier. DO NOT use any one click root apps or programs to root. ADB is probably the most secure and reliable way to root your phone. Make sure you are running Froyo, also. And as for the ROM, it all depends on your preference. In my view, there are three types of ROMs- Sense, Stock, and MIUI. Sense will most likely be 3.0 or 3.5, I like it because it is smooth and I love Sense. I would recommend using either Virtuous or CoreDroid. But then there is Cyanogenmod 7. It's the best stock Android ROM, full of tons of tweaks and mods. Last, there is MIUI, which is it's own thing. I use it when I get bored of Sense and CM7 because it's so different, that I feel like i'm not even running Android

I can also post a link on how to set up and use ADB if you want
