Hi there!
So i was wondering if i should root my phone, and how would i should do it? I would like to avoid to write large amounts of commands on my phone.
I really like the uberroot way of doing it (please correct me if it's called something else.)
Is it safe to do it that way?
I've been looking for a vanilla froyo/gingerbread rom for desire z, and frankly,i haven't stumbled upon one yet.
I just wanna make TOTALLY clear, it's for desire z, not g2.
Hope you can help me!

All of the custom ROMs are compatible with both devices
Rooting with rage is the SAFEST way to go, just requires some simple adb commands:

CyanogenMod is as close to vanilla android you can get with heaps of awesome tweaks

Enom's ROM is another awesome vanilla ROM:

Awesome man, thanks for quick reply.
So in theory, that means that i could flash a g2 rom on my desire z?

...and yep, these roms can be flashed to either device.

Hi! I just bought my desire HD a while ago. I came from xperia x10 and been following their forums here in xda. Although they are both Android phones, it seems that I am confuse and not familiar with the terms used in this forum. So I want to ask help frm any of you who are already familiar with this phone. I want to have a guide as to where will I start; rooting, updating firmware, optimizing, etc. As i find most of the posts here too confusing and i don't know where to start so if anyone can guide me thank u in advance
I second that.

You will get many answers to that. My favourite daily is Rcmixhd v05. Doesn't update as much as some others but its the best option if you want a nice smooth experience which is close to stock. The gingerbread keyboard is great too. It is better than HTC stock.
The truth is that there is not that much difference between the different roms except some cosmetic things, and the odd added app.

Ok so I decided to abandon my wildfire for an x8. It gets delivered Friday the 4th. So as for rooting is there any restrictions or roms what cannot be rooted at all? What are the must haves for rooted x8? And which is the best custom Rom available at the moment? Any other info on good stuff for the x8 would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Search for it... Everything has already been said. No restrictions about rooting, must haves depends on your own needs not ours and best roms - find something for yourself.

Just wondering if it's possible to download and install the HTC Sense 3.0 interface/widgets? I have a stock droid rom which is nice but I want the HTC Sense 3 widgets
LOL

There are some Sense 3.0 ROMs popping up, don't they have everything you'd be looking for?

Doesn't look like he's rooted. You can't just install Sense 3.0 like you install Launcher Pro.

Nope, but give this one a try: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.moo.android.inputmethod.latin.free
I just rooted my phone today and flashed a rom with sense 3.0. It's pretty awesome, i think i am gonna stick with it for a while.
If you are not rooted, please do give it a try. Just make sure you make the appropriate backups.

Guys please search a bit on the forums. You can find the custom roms in the android development forum
Also yes sense 3 roms are gingerbread.
Now, since they are mostly.experimental, do some research first, get to know some android terms (like nandroid ,clockworkmod, fastboot, adb ,RUU etc) read all of the stickies and then go flashing a rom. What's important when flashing roms/radio/recoveries/bootloaders is to understand what you are doing before doing it. If you do it that way, there are high chances your device won't end as a decorative rock/brick on a bookshelf
Also this is not the correct section

Yes, the guy is correct. Reading up is very important.
You could try one with 3.0 mods, 3.0 lockscreen, weather etc.
The rom that i am on now is InsertCoin, stable build. Very stable, and it's on gingerbread. I highly recommend it.
I have downloaded the following rom: PG59IMG_Doubleshot_TMOUS_1.28.531.8_Radio_10.48.9007.00U_10.12.9007.07_M2_release_201296_signed.zip
which I believe is the official TMOUS rom for the doubleshot. will it work on the MT4G? I am hesitant to install it as I don't want to screw my phone up to the point where I brick it, can anyone provide some guidance as to if you have tried it, if so, what were the results, thanks in advance.
Under no circumstances should you flash it on to your phone. It has an hboot, radio, and rom that are all incompatible with our hardware. Flashing an incorrect hboot or radio makes your phone a brick. If you want to run the doubleshot rom, search google for raftvittos doubleshot port.

Im no dev...but probably not 1) you might brick your device 2) Im pretty sure if it boots youll lose root....just wait for a ďev to cook it up IMHO.
Don't flash it. For the love of god, do not flash it. Unless of course you want a $600 paperweight.

There are a lot of ways you can do this.
What's on your phone? Froyo, Gingerbread?
Did you do anything to it, so far?

I used AAHK as it seems to be the easiest way to unlock it.
Just follow the instructions.
I'm running CM7 now and loving it.
Yeah use the ace hack kit...easy squeezy

Do you have much information on development section...Everything well explained, i learned from there...
The development forums are the best source of knowledge for anything you want to know about modding your DHD, trust me give it a go
And if you're on Telus you will need (like I needed...) to do a goldcard...
I haven't succeed without it ! Even following (almost) every instructions.

AAHK does goldcard AUTOMATICALLY no matter the network. Super CID, ROM included. How hard is it for people to just read...
