Hi there!
For the mytouch 4G phone from t-mobile, it doesn't come with vanilla android (the stock android O.S).
So, once rooted, is it possible to flash it with the Stock Android 2.2 O.S? That does not have T-mobile's junk? If so, where or how can I find it?
I came upon several links, but wasn't certain. Also, what does it mean by RUU rom?
thanks!
I have no idea what RUU to be honest, never used one but I think it's the factory image that's used to bring phone back to stock, not sure if there's one for MT4G
There's no official vanilla 2.2 rom for this phone. The closest thing you can have is CyanogenMod. 2.2.1 is in RC2 stage and is very stable. 2.3 (gingerbread) is in unofficial alpha stage. It's very stable (as far as people say) but has it's bugs and there no official support from CM for it, only community. All other roms out there are sense based. All roms are in Development section.
Obviously, you need to be rooted to flash any of those.
Good luck.
RUU = ROM Upgrade Utility. It is essentially the rom that ships with the phone. You are correct in saying there is no true vanilla Android ROM. OP's best bet is to go with CM as you suggested as it is Vanilla Android with some features added and closest to pure android you're going to get.
Maybe this has already been posted, but I'm on here pretty frequently and haven't seen this mentioned.
I was pointed to this tweet on another forum:
http://twitter.com/black_man_x/status/24657410245263360
apparently this guy works for Verizon and they are already testing 2.3 on the X.
Question for the people running custom ROMs.
When (or if, I know that tweet isn't official confirmation) Moto releases Gingerbread for the X, will we have to flash back to Moto's 2.2.1, upgrade to Moto's 2.3, and THEN go back to our ROM of choice?
Or is it likely that, for example, Fission will offer a way for us to upgrade to Gingerbread straight from Fission Froyo?
This assumes that the ROM of choice is compatible with 2.3.
I think the safest thing to do would be to flash back to 2.2.1, OTA to 2.3, then flash the chosen ROM.
Lets face it...MDJ isn't coming back anytime soon (If ever!) and frankly he has left quite a few people that use his ROMS in the cold.
So, in my unsuccessful quest to find a replacement ROM, does anyone have any suggestions on a Android NAND ROM as a replacement for MDJs Gingerbread CM7 Roms?
If its not listed in the POLL, just post below and I will add it.
Never tried gingerbread roms for real before so I wouldn't know sorry. However from my past experience with JDMS Ultimate Droid, I would recommend you trying crawlingcity's Ultimate Droid 3.1
The build i'm using now is gauner's desire z build. Just sticking to Froyo until enough apps get updated to gingerbread.
I would suggest Ultimate Droid 3.01.
Fast clean and reliable I have not encountered anything that does not work.
Fast boot time takes about 1 minute.
Cheers..
For me this rom is allmost close to perfect:
skink Clean Desire v1.2
Stable, fast and nice . I like Sense. Thank you

I just recently got my Moto X Pure Edition about a few months ago and have been loving it ever since. I signed up for MFN and got my Marshmallow update on my phone as well. I was wondering should I root my Moto X Pure Edition? I had a HTC One M8 and rooted that as well and enjoyed the customizations with XPOSED as well as the Sense Tool Box and whatnot. My question is should I root? Or should I wait to root?
Also will my warranty be voided? As in if I break my phone will they send me a new one, or should I wait a year before rooting?
IMHO, with all them things you mentioned that requires root for customization there is no reason to root at this moment. This device doesn't have custom roms that's worth rooting. No official CM support, no other DEV teams are developing for this device (let me know if I'm wrong?). I am optimistic that it will pick up soon, but as backup I ordered OnePlus X to play with so I can start flashing. All my previous devices were rooted and had plenty of roms and kernel to try. We have plenty of problems with MM. We need custom roms with tweaks to pinpoint these problems with lag and devices acting up. This device is universal. You would think support will be hot from the start. I will give it couple of months more to pickup. If nothing develops, I will move on or go back to OnePlus one.
My OnePlus one with custom rom is better than MXPE stock in every way. Let see what custom MXPE rom can bring to the table?

Seems everywhere I look for ROM's or an android upgrade for my tablet, is dry. I was wondering if anyone here knew of a way to either install android 5.0 or at least a rom with a newer version of android? The current issue I have is that the Android version my tablet is running is too old for a good amount of my apps, which sucks.
Any upgrades out there?
