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

CM7 TV Tube Animation

I tried searching and I even searched google but could not come up with anything good. I recently rooted my phone and am now running FR008, like many of you I am waiting for a stable CM7 mod until then I'll stick with my froyo. However, I know someone who is running CM7 and I noticed the TV Tube animation when locking your phone.
Is it possible to get just the animation somehow?
BTW great forum, I learn new stuff everyday and if it wasn't for you guys I would have never rooted my phone.

Or just switch to CM7...as of right now, i.e. with the current build, there isn't anything that ISN'T "stable" about it...to put it bluntly, you're going to spend a lot of time trying to accomplish this when you could spend less than half that time just flashing the latest nightly of cm7 and leaving it at that...don't even have to worry about the following nightlies until an RC or stable release...that's what i would do if i were you...

Sorry, just quoting for this golden phrase, lol.
And go ahead, flash CM7, is pretty awesome and stable.

Lol why was that a golden phrase?
I read a couple threads about some people having problems that's why I'm scared to try it.

Nevermind going to flash tomorrow

make sure you follow the directions posted in the thread otherwise you'll have problems...before you do it, i'd suggest getting "my backup root" to back up apps, sms, settings, all that...

I purchased titanium pro will that work?

Do exactly as is instructed and you won't have any issues. TBH I don't know why the nightlies aren't RC ready.

Okay thanks

I'm really enjoying CM7 but have one question. How does the uprading work?
Cyanogen comes out with nightly updates, do I need to keep updating?
Everytime I upgrade do I need to format and install the new rom?

You just need to wipe cache and dalvik cache then install the nightly builds. There's links to the builds in the CM7 topic

will it overwrite my previous cm7 nightly setting and apps and stuff?

You'll keep your settings and apparently as long as you don't wipe data. It will just update your current rom

[Q] OTA update received..few questions?

hi Louis here! umm alright down to business so i just got a notification on my MYT4G [ gingerbread OTA ] now i am officially rooted [ S-off ] custom splash screen, deleted original installed apps [ tmob tv etc ] now for my questions if i update RIGHT NOW what will happen? and ive been searching the forum for two days and ive had no luck in finding the gingerbread STOCK rom now i still want to update as well as keeping my ROOT so if anyone can provide guidance it'd be much appreciated thanks!

You can't update and keep root. You either stay rooted and run the rooted gingerbread rom or any other rom in dev section or update and lose root and s-off.

Well as of right now the most stable sense roms are coming from virtuous team. You can look into virtuous unity, virtious doubleshot. I'm running virtuous unity myself. Since you always ran stock you might like virtuous unity best.

okay thanks ive never installed a custom ROM ill look up some info on how to do this.

Basically the main and most major thing, do a nandroid before flashing anything. But the actuall process is easy. Just download the rom, put it on your sd card and flash through recovery.
Might want to update clockwork also before if you haven't.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium

never done a nandroid back up before....i did update the clockwork rec mod tho with ROM MANAGER

do i just drag n drop the file in my sd card and rename it update.zip?
SCRATCH IT! i was able to successfully install " virtuous unity " runs pretty smooth right now! thank you!

I think you are looking for the Rooted version of Stock 2.3.4 Rom
If you are interested, you can download it here.
Flash it in your ClockworkMod Recovery after a full wipe.

Great. I dont know if you already figured out how to back up your rom. But before you do anything else to it, just get it where you can use your phone how you like it and boot into recovery. Once in recovery, scroll down with trackpad to backup and restore, click it and back up your current rom and let recovery do its thing.

Yea I noticed that THANKS ! TWO questions though does this ROM have swype text? And a screenshot come along with it?

This Rom do come with Swype support.
As far as interface is concerned, the new update from T-mobile haven't changed the interface much.
So you will notice only a slight change in the 2.3.4 update.
Go to this YouTube link and have a look.

thanks bud!

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...

please help, i am bricked!!!

I was trying to unroot my epic so i could flash an EL039 rom on my phone and was using odin but noticed that the download bar was not appearing on my epic. I unplugged it from the computer and now just have an epic , exclamation point, and computer when i attempt to power up. i can still however get in to download mode. please help me.

1) you are not bricked if you can get to download mode
2) find the post for going back to factory. You will have to use odin. There is also a post something like "restoring from the brink". I think that one is a sticky. [Edit] it is in the roll up sticky thread in the development section. "[How to] restore a semi-bricked epic from the brink". Took two minutes to find on my phone... [/edit]
3) search before posting (not trying to be an asshole)

What a guy. I wish I had that much time and patience but good for you being so helpful.

Thank you everyone who was willing and helpful. I got it back up and right now on stock rom, EL30. Is there a rom out there that you guys prefer for both performance and candy?

You're about to get 400 people saying CM9. I prefer TW Roms like Legendary (no EL30 yet.)

I like cm7 for 2.3 (stable, themes on the market, awesomeness) and cm9 is still in testing phase and has its fair share of issues. Try both and see.
