Update Me On X10a Progress

So I havent visited the threads for months and im wondering what kind of updates/changes have we gotten on the x10? The time I left was probably a few weeks after we got 2.1 on it. So im wondering how we are doing in terms of Android version, multitouch, etc. The number of threads some with 2.1 some about 2.2 and 2.3 are all too confusing so it would be nice if someone could update me.
Thanks.

2.2 custom ROM ( Free X10 by Z ) is almost stable, only video recording not working.
2.3 custom ROM ( by jerpelea ) is out for beta, with few issues, not yet ready for everyday use.
MIUI, SENSE, Cyanogen mods are being developed, but not as complete as other ones.
Dual touch update for Japan is out, the kernel has been extracted by Bin4ry and Dualtouch can be enabled on every ROM right now.

[Q] HTC Desire Z Stock Apps and ROM Questions

Hi im new to android but have rooted my phone and installed the Stock HTC rom IE no Carrier bloat ware only thing is there are so many apps on my phone that i dont use and never will IE twitter facebook,peep,stocks,quickoffice,talk(dosent work in canada) amazon mp3 etc now what i was wondering was is there either a way to delete these apps (i have already tryed with titanium backup and chuck norris mode they just come back on reboot) or is there a Vanilla 2.2 Rom out there with the Sense user interface or even vanilla android 2.2 period i would prefer a way just to get rid of the apps then going through the root s-off and have to overclock it again many thanks in advance sorry for the noobishness also keep in mind this is the desire z not g2
Carrier:Bell
Phone:HTC Desire Z

Titanium back up has always worked for me.you can always find other apps to do that for you, however, you may want to try different roms ,if you want sense interface ,you could always try virtouos rom
but it will come with all the apps that you said you dont want like twitter and facebook, etc....
i would recommend CM 6.1.1,(vanilla android) it is android 2.2 and widely knows as the most stable rom in this forum ,and it comes with oc kernel built in , and just to let you know, you don't need to root and s-off every time you change your rom
also you could try CM7 nighties ,that is android 2.3 and it could be run as a every day rom even though the stable version is not out yet.
you could try different roms set them the way you like it and take a back up so you can always go back.

Titanium has worked for most, but not all apps I've removed in the past (some of the Bell bloatware on that version of the Desire Z). Absolute System Root Tool is a paid app that has worked for me when Titanium did not, and there are other methods also, I'm sure.
Be careful, as some applications you mentioned are pretty integral to Sense (particularly Facebook and Stocks), and might break some things if you remove them. I would definitely backup the ROM before trying to delete them, if you are not already.

Maybe a stupid question but have you got S-off?
For some reason when you restart it checks wich software is installed and that's is something the S-off does....

Yes, I have S-Off.
Now, If I can ask a stupid question, what procedure did you use to debrand your Z, and which official ROM did you use? I haven't kept up recently, but when I first got my Z in December, debranding to the stock HTC ROM required making a gold card and doing some hex editing since the stock Euro ROM was older than the Bell one. It was a bit intimidating to me, and I haven't so far had a huge reason to change ROMs (the shipped ROM has been great so far, after removing the bloat). And the whole issue became a bit confusing and muddled to me, since I believe there have been more recent official ROMs released since December (which would not require the hex editing?). On the other hand, I have no real reason for staying on the Bell ROM other than laziness.

I debranded my Bell D-Z to Generic Euro 1.34 (requires full S-OFF, check the tutorial for dummies), then flashed an overclocked 1.4GHz kernel (Godspeed update)
That's all I need: a plain 2.2 with Sense (until I put my hands on 2.3 )

found a perfect guide managed to get rid of alot of stock apps i dont use ie stocks weather etc and i learned how to use cmd line also titanium backup never worked

[Q] Dx Roms on D2?

Hi, ive been reading some forums and guides and i guess theres a way to port dx roms to the d2?
if im on the gb leak rom and pull up bootstrap recovery to install one of theses roms would it work?

If you look at the following thread, they talk about doing just that. Supposedly it works (although there is some sort of patch that needs to be applied).

My experience rooting and flashing my Desire HD

First off, this is my first post here, so hi everyone. After a few months with my unrooted Desire HD, I decided to root. I was hesitant mainly due to how complex the process was. I am with telus, which means I had to downgrade to a rootable firmware version (the Telus one isn't rootable for some reason). I needed to install a gold card for this. After this, I temp rooted and permanently rooted successfully. My first custom ROM is MIUI (freshly squeezed edition). I find it to be very fluid and fast and is definetly good looking. Its nice to see a ROM based on something other than stock Android or Sense. The software build that comes with this ROM (2.3.4) is also very fast, a huge step up from the laggy 2.2.1 software that Telus shipped with it.
Again, I am new and know very little about rooting and development in general, buy I plan to be using custom ROMs very often and I thought this site would be a good place to give feedback on custom ROMs. (I noticed you need at least 10 posts to access the developers forum).
The only problem I have with MIUI is that the messaging app constantly force closes.

Welcome ..
the 10 post limit is a bummer .. but you'll get there ..
Rom paradise will open soon ..
