[Q] Will we be able to root the future gingerbread stock update? - G2 and Desire Z General

hi people
im not sure what people think of the sposed future stock update to gingerbread but i have a question
does anyone think that with the future stock update to gingerbread on its way and HTC hammering down the security holes, will it still be fairly easy to root ?
thanks for any replies

Hmm, well whenever there has been a update, we always find a way to root. dont worry this is a hot phone right now, and alot of devs will find ways around the security issues, Everything can be hacked, it just takes time thats all

alritey matey
cheers for that, hope it dont take to long

Why bother? You can get 2.3 now without the htc crap
From my permarooted 1209mhz G2 with CM7 nightly 6

OP, yes there will be root available, don't worry lol.

In my opinion it would be JACHeroski. Its stable and speeds are good.

If you have no idea where to start it's probably not a good idea, tbh. Anyway, have you updated the radio and SPL? You'll need to do that before flashing the ROM. My recommendation is also JACHeroski.
I too am interested in hearing peoples opinions.
I disagree that not knowing means you shouldnt, I have been using xda for years and its REALLY hard to keep up to date with things.
Especially since theres new ROM's coming out, it appears, daily.
So please give suggestions on which hero is best.
Also, do any hero's have bluetooth yet?
I have the JACHeroski 2.7.4 i started with that one off the bat, laggy as hell but i need to change the swap settings. I believe that the closest one to the Hero software, no bluetooth or led indicator for messages, they are working at it. Looking foward to flashing this rom on the MyTouch when they figured out how to root that phone
the hero roms are getting better but i dont think they are quite their yet. still seem a bit laggy to me
I'm using JacHero 2.7.4 w/ compcache and the SMStoGMail fix. I still not always getting sms's but atlest they sent to gmail so i still get them. W/ Comp i love the fact i can switch back to "reg" home and have speed but if i want sexyness i press home again and go touch flow. Oh also over clocking at 527/128. Fast and when screen is off saves bat. have 5 widgets going on Rosie with only 3 screens and only get lag when i start getting bunch of SMS and emails and Gtalk at same time. One my friends keep joking i flashing back to Cy once a day but now with the sms fix and speed i getting i never do again.

so whats next for our hero's?

are we waiting on the official 2.1 to be released to get more fully functioning roms?
do you guys see more apps and themes being made for our cdma heros in the near future?
id love one day to see as many options on the cdma versions as they have for gsm.
any thoughts or input on this guys? what would you like to see?
maybe even the possibility of porting webos or maybe even winmo to our phones? i don't see why not as winmo can port android. it's not on the top of my list but it would be cool to play with.
Dude. You start a lot of threads man lol. But yeah, Android 1.5 was made for GSM, and HTC had to do some crazy wackjob stuff to make it work for CDMA. Android 1.6 started including CDMA support, and Android will continue to support CDMA from 1.6 on out. So basically, once 2.1 comes out officially, I believe we will be in business. You should just chill out a little bit about the whole being bored and what's gonna happen stuff, and just enjoy your device. The HERO is a great phone, and it's only gonna get better!

yeah but i like to discuss, hence why we are on a forum.
Haha.. Yeah think it would be kinda cool to have WinMo on our phones, too; although I doubt I would use it for more than a day or two. Our Devs are seriously working hard getting the DEV-ROMs working and they're doing a ****ing great job. I can't wait to see what comes after the official update!!!
So... this might be a stupid question, but exactly what are we looking to see in the 2.1? I don't have any problems with my phone now, a little laggy and short battery life but I plan to get a new battery on payday. So, what is so great that people are actually talking about unrooting to go to the Official 2.1? I wouldn't unroot for anything they could possibly put in there. What if I'm at a friends and need internet and he doesn't have any? I gotta be able to tether. i can always use PDAnet, but its just not the same. And no longer being able to control the CPU, etc. And I love flashing all the new roms that come out and experimenting with the awesome stuff the Devs crank out, so really what is gonna be so awesome about 2.1?
i actually saw a guy on here with a pic of his hero with winmob 7 on his hero...don't know if it was legit or not, but nice to see

Because when Sprint releases 2.1, then our devs will be able to take all the amazing-ness from 2.1 and combine it with the amazing-ness of having root access! Until then, we're just using hacks and leaks to get what we can get.

And we'll have the actual kernel instead of stuff with backported drivers.
well to me 2.1 was the holy grail until today.
The Dream rom has Flash 10.1, so its my new holy grail.
Oh, I agree totally that it will be awesome when the devs get their hands on all the 2.1 stuff, but what about the people talking about unrooting for the official upgrade? I guess what I'm really asking is...what amazing-ness? What are we waiting for? Will the phone make us breakfast in the morning and grab beer for us once we get 2.1? I'm in here every day like the rest, checking for updates on 2.1 status and waiting impatiently for the release, but again I ask..what am I waiting for? More speed? Less bloatware? Bug fixes? I'm just curious, I know that going from 1.29 to 1.56 fixed the massive lag when going from portrait to landscape and the original MMS issue, etc. But I really didn't notcie a diff in my phone after the upgrade. Seriously, what are we looking for in this new update?

Official .29 kernel or not. I bet once camera is backported most devs will use the modded .27 kernel to optimise their builds until .29 source is released. The main things we will get from the official release is the frameworks, a few and apks to allow for all of Sprints stuff to work. And I've almost managed that already but yeah other advantages of 2.1 are vwp, better frameworks, better opengl, better apps, UIs, and a better os all together. I know ill make sure the build is ready for all the root users on day one. If its not already leaked by then.
let's hope for a HERO200 leak then!
come on single unruly mischevious HTC employee....if you do this, then we promise we won't bother you like we did to get the source code..

Mytouch 3g slide falling behind?

Every phone is practically getting froyo or has a date around when, but t-mobile, and htc are keeping quiet about it. What do you guys think?
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using Tapatalk
I kept hearing at least by the end of the year. Some people say since we got that one OTA update, it means we probably won't be getting Froyo for a while...
I dunno though, it'd be nice. :x
The Slide is getting FroYo although no dates have been given
I think you guys won't get it.for a while...my friend has a slide, and he is a bit pissed that he won't be getting froyo soon

Are you guys KIDDING? You are whining on an android modding site, that you dont have froyo!? when they are a plethora of guides and FROYO ROMS to choose from!? Seriously..
@jdv28 not everybody roots so if you are here to talk crap then don't even bother, no life

Plus I think they want Espresso Froyo, not vanilla Froyo.
The thing is that the Froyo is "comming soon" and we the users who haven't rooted yet are undecided to whether wait and get the clean update, or choose to figure the root thong out and get Froyo and its features nooow.
Right now I'm gathering information, reading tutorials, and understanding everything to be ready to root and flash Cyanogen Rom, now I just hope that by the time I do all this I don't want to hear "hey yo heard the news!? Froyo for Slide is hea!" I'd be maaad!!
But this thought comes to my mind... Ain't I getting the same thing?? The difference is that I'd be rooted...

Yes if you were to go and root your phone, you can have froyo all day, but everyone is waiting for an official release so they can keep the Sense UI, which has all the nice widgets and such. I myself am skeptical as to when that will happen. I like froyo and all, but I've always been a fan of the Sense UI, so ill stick it out, occasionally flashing all the other great roms we have.

Why would you be mad?...I think you dont completely understand the whole concept of XDA...Devs can make a rooted version of a OTA rom, including an Froyo Esp when its released...So no worries, have root makes the phone...well yours! Before you didnt have full control and know you do, ive been using android since last october and had the chance to use eclair,froyo,sense,espresso all on my g1, now that i have a slide i only want sense non of that boring vanilla crap, that can kick rocks or something. Im all about Eye-candy, i get bored of looking at vanilla android.

plus, an official ota will also improve all current froyo builds for the MTS. alot of stuff can be ported and fixed like bluetooth, wifi, etc...
It took me ages to decide to root, and once I did, i went back to the stock rom (rooted). Two years ago my phone was a P.O.S. till Cyanogen came up and beat it into shape. Now i have a decent device with OK software. We've come a long way and more and more people are happy with stock. Once they work the bugs out of Cyanogenmod I will probably move ove. Till then, i am good.
2.2 for the Slide should be out before the end of the summer according to our HTC rep,most likely sometime in September. The other bit of good news is that it will include WiFi calling ability.

Yes I understand, man this developers are awesome!
How ever, as for what I've seen the root method is still complicated for the MyTouch Slide, 2 procedures to root and one to flash a room, (I'd like CyanogenMod)
I've dealed with Sony Ericsson Walkman phones modding, but Android's are more complex xO
The things that make me feel like trying it out are:
-Froyo of course..
-Full Flash Player 10.1
-Install apps on SD (I've read it requires more things like a partition and don't know what else)
-Live Wallpapers
-make it mine.....
The things that pull me back and make me feel like not. trying:
What if battery life was better in stock rom??
The tutorials sound a lil' experimental
Besides rooting and rom flashing, there also this Radio thing.... is it nesesary or optional??
I'd like to save my self fun time and head breaking from not trying. THEN WHY I AM HERE?!---- Because I'm undecideeeeeeed xO

Trust me battery wont change just cause you rooted, some say Froyo has "better" battery life, now i cant promise cause i dont use froyo on my slide.I oc and get 1 day+....Well depending on usage of course.
You need to upgrade your radio too, it is very simple to root, i rooted my slide twice with the new new method that just came out(1-2 weeks ago)
Also some people are 15, and have their parents paid the bill, as well as paying for warranty every month, so rooting is not an option for me.

Thanks in advance

Some would argue that going from N1 to SGS is a downgrade, but oh well I'd try to avoid doing any unofficial flashing for the moment until Froyo is officially released.

I went from a Nexus One to SGS, it is a bit of a downgrade firmware wise, but the screen on the SGS so much nicer, it's worth changing just for the screen.
Keeping in mind that pretty much everybody's is whining constantly about their rom versions, I would upgrade to JPK from 23 September '10 (yes the old and first "real" one) having OCLF over it, and am still pretty amazed by his responsiveness nd decent gps reception.(even playing with it just to see for myself how stable it is)
I have, since a couple of days, increased the minumum cpu to 200MHz for a bit more responce and it's working for me, one full day with a bit less then 2 hours of navigation will not be a problem with this setup.
Maybe and just maybe i'll update to an jpx rom when everybody is satisfied with it, .. hard time restoring hundreds of apps constantly
unless you're having a 'newer is better' mentality, you should go with the pack!
Thanks for the reply compulse, the main reason I would of wanted froyo was for the flash web browsing.
I like the desire hd aswell but the speaker is a bit crap and the screen is a bit washed out, im sure there's not much difference in screen size between the sgs or dhd

[Q] What's the status of development on the X10?

Hi,
Sorry about the vague/noob question, but it's not my phone, so, please, bear with me.
I'm thinking about buying this phone for my mother and I'd like to know what's the status of development for the X10. Specifically:
1) Are there froyo running custom roms available for this phone? If not, is there any perspective of there being one or an official 2.2 update?
2) Is the official eclair update easy to install?
3) What are, currently, the biggest flaws of the phone and what's the perspective on them being fixed?
Thanks a lot for your help!

1. Yes there are froyo roms but they are not official. There will be no 2.2 rom officially but there will be a 2.3.3 rom officially.
2. The official eclair update is pretty darn easy to install just search the development section.
3. The biggest flaw is probably the low incall speaker volume. It may be fixed to a degree but seems to be hardware limited as well.

If you don't mind a follow up, how stable are the 2.2 custom roms?
Also, since you fine folks have been able to crack the x10 bootloader, wouldn't custom kernels take care of the low incall volume problem?
Thanks a lot, if you need any help regarding the Samsung Captivate, feel free to PM me.
Most of them r very stable. I run the one in my signature all day everyday since everything is working well pretty much. If u need help installing one. Take a look at all the guides first then ask us here for help. There r plenty of howtos. I hope this helps.

As for the call volume it would seem that it could be improved once we get a good kernal going. So far from the reports though, it seems that it can be louder but at the cost of some distortion.
Since its not for you, I would recommend wolfbreaks 2.2 as it is probably the most widely used and supported if you're gonna go 2.2. If 2.1 is sufficient then at least that's se official. And like I said 2.3.3 is coming officially probably around June/July.

Thanks a lot, everyone.
I actually have some experience flashing custom roms and kernels on my Captivate, so it shouldn't be too steep a learning curve.
