DHD n00b Help Needed......

ill be getting my dhd in a few hours when it arrives and was wondering about root and roms
whats the best rom for dhd atm? and how easy is the root process? any good guides for it?

Leave stock rom on phone until you are used to the phone, and have tried all settings.
After a while, you will know if there is something you would like changed, and then see if there is a rom for you.

Software is fine just need root really, I know android and sense really well. Was wondering about kernels but only as a maybe

Root's easy. Look in the forum for instructions and follow them exactly and you'll be fine.
As far as custom roms go, I'm using leedroidhd v1.2 and of 4 roms tested, I think it's the best but it's personal opinion of course.
Good luck

I'd guess it will be available through a custom rom in the end....
for now, I am using LeeDrOid and it is working very nicely for me
I probably am going to switch to cyanogen once it is tested a bit more...

cm is nice but i like sense, they did a good job with it on stock this time

[Q] Cons of installing Roms

Specifically Ice Glacier and CM6 and 7.
I know the Pros but I searched all over the place and can't find some Cons. I know CM6 doesn't allow access to front facing camera. Is this true for 7 and Ice Glacier?
What other things might not work?
TIA
P.S. I am rooted. I just don't have the guts to Flash a rom yet.

I am running cm7 nightly #37 I think and the only thing that I am noticing is that my ringtones dont stick after I do a reboot. Other than that I use Tango and the front facing cam does work. I dont see any other things that are not working. I have been running this only for a couple days and maybe not seeing other things not working. All in all the rom is fast and I am loving some gingerbread!! Do a nandroid backup so you can always go back if you want.

There are zero cons to installing ROMs. CM7 is just fantastic.

Froyo vs Gingerbread, I think, but don't quote that as I don't run a CM ROM.
With any ROM you will roll the dice on what will/won't work for you. I have had absolutely zero issues using the Ice Glacier ROM in my sig. However, if you read recent posts in the thread for it, some people still experience issues with things like WiFi, slowdowns, battery drain, etc. Not all silicone is created equal. Just backup your current stuff and flash something to see how it works on your phone. Doesn't run well, has some issues? Pick a new ROM or restore backup.

cm 7 is based on Gingerbread -- Android 2.3. Numerous changes, Google for them.
Big con to any ROM...bricked phone through user error, user stupidity, user ignorance... Take your pick. The risk is low but it exists. Manage and mitigate it through careful study and a firm grasp of the procedures to be used.

Thanks for the info. I agree about doing the research before anything. That's why I haven't flashed any roms yet. I still need to do some more research.

It is extremely difficult to permanently brick your phone. The only way I know how to do it is to flash the wrong kind of radio, which you normally don't even have to worry about flashing.

Let's see... there's a thread in this very subforum where someone damaged the partition table of their internal flash drive, and lost /system, and could find no way to recover:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952272
The root cause may have been from pulling the battery at an inopportune moment, and the OP gave up before exhausting all options, but the phone is logically bricked.

Hardly any unless you're not careful with instructions. CM7 RC1 is fantastic.

Does anyone see problems with 4G coverage with a newer rom, or is HSDPA not a concern?

The stock ROM and those based on it do not differentiate between 3G and any faster network. All are indicated with an "H". CM displays UMTS as "3G".
HTC Glacier CM7 41

Only cons are you void your warranty and you could screw something up if you aren't careful. Playing around in non-userspace is only for the well-informed.
Arguably, you could consider it a con that your ROM isn't officially signed by the manufacturer/carrier and that it's not "official," but I don't see it that way. A good dev team like Cyanogen's is probably just as good, if not better, and they can roll out updates much much faster. Nightly, in fact

FWIW, I was one of the few who did experience problems when flashing (CM7 in my case). Each time I flashed, I would lose more and more functionality on the physical buttons on the front of the camera.
- First flash, "back" starts acting flaky (doesn't work sometimes, sometimes requires long-press to work).
- Second flash (to try to fix the problem), back button no longer works, "menu" is now flaky.
- Third flash, menu is gone. Somewhere in there the genius button also stopped working.
ClockworkMod Recovery's key test showed that the system wasn't even seeing the keypresses. Sounds like a hardware problem, I know, but the changes noted occurred only when I flashed. Also, when I reflashed with the stock MT4G ROM, I got the menu button back (but not the back button).
All that said, a) I searched high and low and couldn't find any reports of anything similar, and b) TMo switched the phone out with a new one with no questions asked.

It's not all user error, and it's not all hardware. It's a combination, and like others have said you have to try it out to see. If you read enough threads on this forum, you will find negatives about everything. Do the research so you know what not to do, and the rest is up to trial and error. The variables around which people judge ROMs are so complex that the vast majority of information is opinion. Just make sure you give any ROM a couple of days before you really form your own.

Biggest cons for me when I first started flashing ROMs on my old MT3G was that sometimes stuff wouldn't work. Wifi issues or GPS might be buggy or battery drain. 9/10 issues can be fixed with a reboot or just wait for the next nightly to arrive.
I love flashing ROMs. I'm on CM7 RC1 and before that was Nightly #35. I had my MT4G for 7hrs before it was rooted and CM7 on it.
You're already rooted and most of the time thats when people break their ****. So get Clockwork Mod and Nand backup, flash and rock out!!!!!!

Most of the "danger" is in the actual rooting process, flashing ROMs and mods can at most cause an inconvenience.
Any time the radio firmware or hboot (bootloader) is flashed or modified, that is where the danger of a true bricked device that can not be fixed occurs.

I hope that I am posting in the right place, I am rooted(Yeah) I flashed CM7 RC1 but at the moment, I like my stock ROM without all the bloat ware, my problem is this, How do I go from CM7 RC1 Gingerbread back to Froyo ? I did a back up before flashing CM7 RC1 but when I attempted to restore, my phone froze...Any suggestions or Ideas, anyone else have this problem ? Thank you in advance for your help....XDA Rocks and thanks to all the DEVS who put such great effort in getting these great ROMS out to us....

Use a 2.x version of CWM to flash a Froyo ROM.

[Q] android noob

Having taken the plunge for my first android phone namely the SE X10 on a standard rom and already rooted it, I'm just wondering if any of you would like to give me some tips on what to do next with this phone having being a wm 6.1 user for many years I'm at a bit of a loss with this one I've never used linux or any of the derivatives of that software which I'm lead to believe android is based, so pretty much clueless with this one kind regards Mcpaddy.
Sorry forgot to mention it has android 2.1 update 1 installed on it and its the X10I regards Mcpaddy.

Good places to start:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=989129
and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page&pagename=SonyEricssonXperiaX10

Basically you need to decide whether you want to go with a totally custom ROM, or modify the SE 2.1 ROM.
If you go total custom there are some guides to do it as telmoabff linked above.
I chose to just mod the 2.1 SE ROM and there are many different options you can go with, also many guides which will help you out.
You can get some very good customization / performance out of the 2.1 SE ROM...however, to get the absolute best performance / totally custom you will have to go with one of the user developed ROMs.
(Since I am kind-of new to this as well someone please correct me if I am wrong.)

I would root, install xrecovery and then z's freex10 b4 froyo rom as its the simplest and most stable rom i have tried. Once you have it running good then make a backup and try out any of the roms that float your boat, you can always just restore back to z's rom if things go wrong. Very hard to break the x10 have put mine in bootloop bout 6 times trying out the cool stuff on here but always been able to fix it!
Just my opinion tho
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

FreeX10 is the base for which all of the X10 Froyo ROMs are built, if you want something that has more tweaks and features Wolfbreak's CyanogenMod 6.1.3 ROM is a good one with a lot of support and features. Id go custom if I were you mainly because of the fact that 2.1 doesnt support Flash or app2sd which are 2 features that really make android great.

If I (or anyone for that matter!) help you, dont be afraid to press THANKS!

Or you can use freex10 and simply flash cyanogen settings via xrecovery

If you want to stick with stock you should sysctl and jit along with few build.prop mods. Just search the forums. I would recommend the Z's freex10 rom for speed and stability. Tripmiui rom for something different.

Do NOT flash your phone with 3rd party ROMs

Do NOT flash your hero phone with 3rd party ROMs unless necessary. I have played with many kinds of ROMs for 1 year. Most of them are downright laggy, unstable, or battery-draining although you could have some new features. These Roms are not fully tested. Some of them even contain spyware... You normally need to wipe your phone for most 3rd party ROM updates and that means you need to re-configure your phone again and again.. Now, I got my stock ROM back after making a Gold-card and I'm very satisfied with my HTC stock ROM. This is a fast, stable, power-saving and fully-tested ROM. Upgrade is very smooth and not painful.
I would suggest you to flash your phone by RUU and then root it by some tools, e.g. http://www.unlockroot.com/. But, please keep an eye on the install procedure. Do not install unnecessary apps unless you want.
The above is only my personal experience. Hope it helps.

You must have been loading up some really bad ROMs if that was your experience. What kind of spyware have you even seen installed in ROMs? Each to their own.

Yeah, if it wasn't for custom roms I would've gotten myself a new phone ages ago. If you want a bugless Rom you just flash a fully tested Rom, if goin want to try something new flash a new Rom. I've never heard about spyware either.
sent with love from me to you

My used ROMs include Crons, CM, Villian and some others that I can't remember. At present, I don't think there is any spyware in Crons, CM, Villian. Crons, CM, Villian are generally recognised as good 3rd pary ROMs. However, I don't think any of them is more stable or faster than stock ROMs.
I found some spywares installed as system apps in some Chinese ROMs disributed from hiapk.com and bbs.anzhi.com.. These are individual-maintained ROMs.
To my understanding, if an app requires extra permissions than what it actually needs, then that could be a spyware.
I'm not a professional mobile device developer. What I need is a rooted ROM that is bugless, does it job well and therefore suitable for everyday use.

Well, New features are very likely to require more computational resource. If you had a machine for win98, and you wanted to try Win7 with that, then I would suggest you not to do it.. HTC Hero is extacly that win98 Machine.

Now I use a repack of the oficial OTA 2.1-update1,flashed it and i get some Force Close errors(like com.htc.bgp etc).
I tried VillainROM v12 and v13 and i was stuck on the load-screen (i think it is the Sense app that is stuck on).
I saw that @dastin1015 uploaded his Zero Hero Sense 3.5 ROM, looks nice and I would like to try it, but I have some doubts about some bugs. Also, i searched the forum, and couldn't find any info on how to downgrade to 2.1 (if something goes wrong). I can't post a question under the Developer forum (as a new forum user).

I'm a custom rom addict, rarely do I have a rom for more than 2 months before looking for something which more/better features. Sure there's some laggy roms out there, most of which are still in beta so you can't expect them to be "perfect" Roms. That said, there's plenty of excellent roms being worked on by some very clever and creative people, that go above and beyond the features stock roms offer. Get them from trusted sites/developers and you'll enjoy the experience

The fact is that some Sense lovers are tired of laggy new sense ports I guess
Therefore, a stock android ROM is not a choice.
So, in a way, I must admit that gnubot is right.
But we can't deny that the work that JieeHD, dastin1015, elelinux and other devs did is pretty awesome!
And to finish, I don't really remember how many months HTC devs took to make a correct release of the new Sense...

That is SO correct!!
I've tried non-Sense roms, they're great and fast and stable and good-looking, but not for me... i don't feel comfortable with them.
I even have got back to generic 1.5. So getting back to stock is not a solution.
At this moment, i have Wildheroc RoseV5, it's sense and it's GB.
I'm waiting for the Zero Hero Sense 3.5 to be "stable" and i'll flash it

I just had to post in this thread because of the title. It's pretty ridiculous that you'd create a topic on this site as bline007 said and not somewhere else. Especially using that topic title? You didn't really expect that anyone would agree with you I hope. For your sake I can only assume you meant to say "Be careful I've found some 3rd party roms with spyware" or the like.
P.S. I apologize for the flameish response but I feel a lot of patronage for this site and it's members because of the work massive amount of work and personal time they have spent to make my 'legacy' phone go out of it's comfort zone just to bring us features, options and a longevity we never expected from this phone. So please don't taint the hard work of the developers by making posts with titles as such.

[Q] Pick a favorite ICS rom

So I am currently running stock ICS on my A500 and was thinking of putting a 3rd party rom on it. Currently the OEM rom is fine, only 1 issue and that is, its not mounting usb when connected to my computer...
But thats another time, for now I would like to get some opinions on some current roms for our device. I want something that is: fast, lightweight, everything must work. Thats basically it, pretty easy, I dont ask for much
So just doing a quick search, I found 3 roms that look pretty popular and fit most of my requirements. A fourth would be stock ICS (current rom).
~~Taboonay_3.0.1~~ Link
~~Lightspeed_4.7~~ Link
~~Flexreaper_4.0.3~~ Link
The flexreaper rom I picked also has no games installed, Extreme edition.

My recommendation would be Flexreaper ;]

I suggest a moped...

From your selection I`ll recommend FLEXREAPER too and maybe the extreme version because you are all ready on ICS bootloader.
But personal, means with full hearth, I recommend tegraowners ICS ROM v168! This ROM has a lot more options then FLEXREAPER f.e. USB modem support for a500.
m.

AOKP officially supports the A500 too, but I don't think their ROM is complete.
I'm running Flexreaper with the latest ICS bootloader = OVERCLOCKING. So the speed is there, lots of crap has been stripped out of the ROM and there is nothing that I know of that doesn't work.
The Tegraowners ROM has a lot of extra features that the ROMS on here don't have but if you also read the thread there are a lot of people who have problems here and there for it. I've tried it. It's slick but I fell Civ's is just as good and he is more helpful to the XDA community.

Well Civato is definitely a great guy , but Thor is very helpful not only to this community but many more , XDA thwarts progress in many ways (i wont go into the thor deal) ,but I wouldnt suggest one over the other , they are both outstanding and we are lucky to have the "few" devs for a500 that we have , I remember a bout a year ago there was twice as many ,xda seems to run alot of these guys out for what ever reason (not my problem) ! Your gonna get complaints from whatever rom you choose , I would suggest reading the OP for the rom and then re-reading it often ,your less likely to have problems that way!
We have many talented devs in here !

I've been running various versions of Flexreaper for a while now, and I really like it. I tried taboonay for a while, but Flexreaper worked better for me. I also love having the Acer ring. I don't know how many ROMs have that, but its handy for sure. Civato (Flexreaper Dev) is putting out new stuff all the time, too.

Have tried them all. Personnaly flexreaper has been the best for me. As long as you do a full wipe before installing and have the correct bootloader installed. The best thing to do is check them out yourself. I stayed away from betas and test builds until I learned restore and recovery techniques, as I locked up my tablet the first time I flashed a new rom.
