Hey people,
There's a lot of talk about permrooting the desire z etc. But i just want to throw this out there.
I like temproot via visionary. And i'll tell you why.
First, temproot is sufficient for titanium to back up your phone and restore it.
Second, temproot is enough to overclock your phone by running scripts in gscript. And even though you have to do it manually after reboot (ie lost root) it really takes less than 10 seconds after you have it all set up.
Third, if i've done something to create a problem (I mean temporary things like overclock, disabling packages etc.), i can just reboot and voila! Working phone again. However, i'm not sure this would make the phone "invincible" to tampering. Make sure you know what you're doing or don't do it!!!!
This is assuming you like your current ROM, like I do, and you're not too hung up on nandroid/bart backups. Personally, i prefer nandroid/bart from a good clockworkmod custom backup, but it's a tradeoff with having an almost perfectly safe rooting experience.

Yes but can you flash ROMs? Nope. It's a completely different experience once you start flashing. And you can always revert the perm root if you run into problems with the phone...
It's a good point you make.
On my G1 I tried all the CM ROMS I could try, and super d, e, and f. I loved the tweaks available and sent most nights flashing or testing ROM and kernel combos.
But in the end I, personally was essentially looking for what this current sense ROM seems to be delivering so far. Just my personal taste right now.
It was just food for thought for all those who may feel squeamish about permroot on their new phone but want a little bit more freedom.
I'm sure in a few months i'll be modding the crap out of this thing anyway. Can't suppress the inner nerd forever lol.

A couple month!? I literally rooted this and started flashing like a madman the second this was out of the box... where do you find the restraint?
HTC Vision/T-Mobile G2 w/Cyanogenmod 6.1.1&G2 Fast kernel.
Maybe I'm overestimating myself haha. When I finally got into super d on my g1 I was like "this is good, this is fast, just be happy with this" but still I was swapping ROMs left and right like every night haha
Once I was working out of town and I tried a new overclocking kernel first thing in the morning, got my phone all goofed up including my SD card corrupted somehow, used a blackberry torch to format and to get the stock Android 1.0 nbh back on my SD card, and had the thing rooted and running a brand new ROM by the end of breakfast. Lol.
Soooooo maybe i'll last a couple more days haha

I couldn't live without CyanogenMod. There is no reason to NOT permaroot.

Gscript overclocking is inefficient, if you want a stable and consistant OC with UV kernels you'll have to root. My 2cents.
I am very familiar with cm6, but I want you to covert me lol.
What makes the script oc inefficient?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
You can't undervolt for screen off profiles or change voltage for smoother performance, you can only set 1 OC speed with gscript running at stock voltage. So when you set your cpu speed to let's say 1.4GHz with gscript it is always running at that speed when the power is on, thus using more power, even with the screen off.

Hmm. I am not sure about controlling the voltages (important for battery life and cpu heat, right?), but both set cpu and system panel both show my cpu freq as changing from 245 MHz to 1017 MHz (or 1420 MHz if i want) according to demand with a good half dozen other speeds in between.
Edit: perhaps i should note that i was using the cpoc.sh, oc.sh (or ohshitttt.sh), and noreboot.sh scripts i found somewhere. They seem to work pretty well so far. I don't know too much about mflops, but i just did one and my d z was 37 @ 1017 MHz and 49 @ 1420 MHz.

Just as a sidenote, I've been permrooted for a week now and modding a lot haha. Oh well.

Thanks for this thread. Coupled with ianmcquinn's post about Permanent Root, I made the decision to root. Less than 5 minutes later, it was done.
...and I guess, sorry for the *bump,* but I'm new to this forum and hope you don't beat me me too badly with those nunchakus.
Honestly, I don't know WHAT I was thinking lol.
Actually, at the time, none of the custom roms offered anything more than the stock rom + oc, unless you wanted aosp on your dz or sense on your G2. Now, it's an entirely different story. Thanks to great devs (siulmagic in particular when it comes to diversity) we have:
Like 10 versions of Sense from 1.0 over Froyo, to Sense 3.0 over Gingerbread 2.3.4 and everything in between.
Probably twice as many takes on AOSP, mostly from cm7, but cm6 and other AOSP sources as well.
I think there might be five MIUI roms kicking around too.
If you are newly rooted, my top 3 suggestions for exploring new roms are:
1. Virtuous Unity: The ultimate in Sense flashiness, but also very quick and stable. Watch out for Sense Paradox too!
2. Osimood MIUI: the included kernel puts it above the others (right now). Otherwise, I think all the lastest MIUI builds are essentially the same. MIUI is something totally different for android. Don't dismiss it too quickly
3. SuperCM7: a cm7 build that just feels right. Fantastic performance and flexibility.
To be honest, I'm using SenseGinger 3.0 as my daily driver right now, but I've done some tweaks to it myself. I find it to be a very well rounded contribution as well.

Perm-rooting: its like temprooting, but several times better without the headaches.
Lol... wow, how'd this thread resurface?! I can't even count the number of rom flashes and fried SD Cards since I posted here in January!

I'm praying for someone who can solve my problem.
I LOVE my n1 but I dont hear it when Im outside home.
I surfed tens of forums searching for the solution and there is no dsp manager or lvh that has been able to solve the problem.
can someone help please?
p.s. i heard that maybe cyanogenmodded rom on gingerbr could solve the problem but i heard also that it uses dsp manager which wasnt working on my n1
Are you using a custom rom?
Most custom roms have an audio boost over stock. And maybe that DSP Manager would only work if the ROM supported it, so that could be why nothing has worked sof ar if you are on stock.
I think you're looking for the vibrate option
the audio boost is present in most custom ROMs such as cyanogen. so you really should have no problem if you use that. i know my volume has increased very well using cyanogen so i dont have any complaints anymore.
i do remember in cyan 5.0.8 that the audio hack was TOO loud and people complained, so the dev's reduced it to somewhere in the middle. perhaps you can go try that old ROM and see if that helps just as a test. if so maybe you could edit your kernel to match that old hack? might be a lot of work though...
i'm using one of the gingerbr roms from this forum
so you'r suggesting me to wait for the cyano's gingerbr?
p.s. today i bought an ideos for my old father ((( its LOUDER AND LOUDER than my n1 (((((
Unfortunately, you will have to live with crappy HTC speakers I am afraid. Rom's don't have a significant difference - I mean it will still sound crap :/, I don't know why HTC keep doing this.

dont say me so! please! i heard about people who solved and had to REDUCE volumes beacause the loudnes made the speaker clip instead!
i wanna clip my speakeeerrrrr!
Try enomthers Official ROM with the AudioMod kernel. I now run my incall volume at 50% where on the stock ROM I had it maxed all the time. The speaker phone is actually useful now as well. Besides this excellent perk its also a very fast and stable ROM with lots of features that I've found I can't do without. I ran a Gingerbread ROM for a week and was so happy when I switched back.

do you know if it's possible to flash only the audio hack? i'm just running stock cyanogen 6.1.1 and i would like to play around with the audio hack. can i flash it somehow, or does it have to be built into the ROM? and also, i have a build environment set up, so could i just play around with the kernel code for the hack, and compile my own kernel for testing it out?
Can anyone suggest any 'good' solution? kernel or otherwise to fix this $#@$# 'bug' of low in-call volume in Nexus One??
Would really appreciate all the help!

That's my problem from the beginning. Speaker is crap and there is nothing you can do. Tried different ROMs and nothing changed it.
Hello guys. I wanted to find out how to increase my skill lvl. Like I have quests tht require me to extract items like fruits, objects but when I try to extract, it says my skill lvl is too low. What can I do to increase? Plz help.
anyone running the latest CM7 on their DHD?
im currently running android revolution HD 3.0 and i gotta say that the In-call quality is really bad. I even installed a zip file through clockworkmod that is supposed to fix it, but the tinny sound is still present
I read somewhere that CM7 latest nightly release includes a fix for the speaker n all. anyone can confirm if the quality is any better?
The tinny sound has been fixed since nightly #11 I believe. Running Cm7 rc2 now, no sound problems with that either.

I have a htc dhd and i flashed android revolutions hd 6.3.3 and now, after several weeks of using it withowt problems it is always freezing. It mainly freezez after i unlock it and hangs for 10-30 seconds but then usually starts working again. Do you have anny idea what could be going on.. i do have alot of apps and i usually have it oc'ed to 1.2ghz.... I really like revolutions hd and i dont whant to switch to another rom and have problems with the camera or other stuff... Please help!!!
Most ROM's dont have camera issues (only ICS & JB ROM's, and most ROM's have them fixed anyway).
Did you apply any tweaks, undervolting, kernel changes, CPU governer etc. Please provide more information so we can help you quicker

i dont have much tweaks installed, the only root apps i use are add free, setcpu, apps2sd, defrag pro(not root, i think), flash, lcd resolution(installed but not in use),juice defender and task killer pro always running(not root),also, the widget *no lock*(but it sometimes freezez without it too) and busyBox which i dont know what it is for.. i think that android revolutions hd has already a oc app pre installed could that cause problems..
Try running fix permissions from ROM Manager it fixed my phone using RCMIX3D. Good luck.

All I know that revolution hd 6.3.2 works better then 6.3.3 for me
First off, I know the motto on this site is "Search before Posting"... So before anyone says it don't you think I took account on that before starting this thread? Just throwing that out there. Second, I am using the AOKP ROM for my Glacier. The camera sucks! I know the highest resolution you can record on ICS is 480p, but all my videos are splotchy, and when they're particularly longer, and maybe louder the audio quality seems to deteriorate. So, I began a quest to find me a maybe flashable camera (optional: working effects, better quality, better audio quality). So a future thanks to you all for helping, if you do.
Aospx has 720p recording with the grapefruit kernel.
That kernel doesn't work with some ICS ROMs, but it's worth a shot. Either that or switch to aospx.
The issue with recording at less than 720p is not with the app. It's at the kernel level. Just having a camera at all took quite a bit of work by, I believe, firesnatch. We had no ICS camera driver.
Ok. I'll check out the aospX rom

Its a good rom, if you aren't on it already, I suggest you switch to it.

Ok, this is what I did. And it really fixed my problem thanks to you guys. I decided to stay on AOKP, because of its features and everything. So i restored a Nandroid (I tested out TouchWizUX) and I forgot to change the DPI back to 240. So I did a factory reset (forget all that flashing) and suprisingly it still booted, and all my add-ons were still there. So, i flashed the grapefruit kernel (talk about smoothness) changed the OC to 960 max, 268 min Gov.: OnDemand (it keeps changing to smarta..v2) then changed the DPI back to 220 (ask me how I still got Play Store to work flawlessly) and in Messaging, the new line mod started to show, and vibration pattern options started to show and i'm pretty sure theres more to see that I haven't ran into yet. but, aospX will be soon flashed !

In my mind, AospX, CM, AOKP, all the same. Its just that you get official support from CM(maybe) and that tends to be most stable but AospX is the most stable right now. I don't use the rom but i flash the grapefruit kernel on all the ICS roms that i use. Hit that thanks button
Incredible_Glacier_v1.0 looks like it has a working camera, i am thinking of trying that out, i tried an aokp rom think it was called dark unicorn resurrected, and the camera taking crappy resolution photos was a no no for me so i went back to GB... I didn't know about this grapefruit kernel, i am going to look into that so thanks.
Edit: Just flashed the aospX rom, I'm so happy right now, seems perfect. I decided not to try Incredible_Glacier_v1.0 just yet.
