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.

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.

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!

I just rooted my phone today and flashed a rom with sense 3.0. It's pretty awesome, i think i am gonna stick with it for a while.
If you are not rooted, please do give it a try. Just make sure you make the appropriate backups.

Guys please search a bit on the forums. You can find the custom roms in the android development forum
Also yes sense 3 roms are gingerbread.
Now, since they are mostly.experimental, do some research first, get to know some android terms (like nandroid ,clockworkmod, fastboot, adb ,RUU etc) read all of the stickies and then go flashing a rom. What's important when flashing roms/radio/recoveries/bootloaders is to understand what you are doing before doing it. If you do it that way, there are high chances your device won't end as a decorative rock/brick on a bookshelf
Also this is not the correct section

Yes, the guy is correct. Reading up is very important.
You could try one with 3.0 mods, 3.0 lockscreen, weather etc.
The rom that i am on now is InsertCoin, stable build. Very stable, and it's on gingerbread. I highly recommend it.
It's been a while since I have messed with Root on my phone since putting on Iced Glacier 1.6 for 2.2.1 Android for my MyTouch 4G.
So I need a little help or clarification.
Following this post directions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1175536
I updated to the 2.3.4 ROM and for some reason occasionally get the phone showing the "MyTouch" white screen after exiting an app.
Also get "MySense" failed to load or forceclosed when starting up the phone. I think that is what it says...
I re-installed my apps using Titanium Backup, but I think I am missing a few even though I made a full App and System back up the night before doing any of this new ROM rooting. I also did a "Fix Permissions" in ROM Manager.
1: Is Footballs the most basic stable rooted ROM out right now?
Or what is recommended for battery length and smoothness?
2: How does Virtuous Unity compare in stability and speed and battery life compared to other ROMs right now?
I liked Iced Glacier for it's baseness and speed and lack of bloat-ware and I don't change ROMs often. I want one that works and is stable and I want to stick to it.
Not wanting to brick my phone moving to new stuff.
My other big question is:
After installing Footballs Rooted ROM, I still get the 2.3.4 OTA update reminder.
How do I remove that ????
And yes I did a lot of searching before posting this in order to refresh my brain but could not find a precise answer...
So thank you to anyone that can help with these questions and steer me in the right direction.......
I run virtuous unity on one of my my touch 4gas and it is stable and all functions work including tango,,, love the fact there is no bloatware.

It all depends on what you like actually. For a stable rom that you will stick with for awhile that is just like the update to 2.3.4 without the bloat. I would recommend GenerationX v5, its the most up to date rooted/debloated stock version. If you like sense, but not mysense. They Virtuous Unity 1.29 seems to be the favorite stable right now. Keep in mine there are AOSP roms out there like faux's and cm7 that people enjoy as well which are excellent speeds and awesome battery life over stock type roms.

Thanks for the replies so far.
I'm honestly not sure what the difference between Sense and MySense is since I don't keep up with this stuff anymore.
And if I flash one of the ROMs I of course need to make a full wipe and then install. will this erase the homepage icons and need to re-install all my apps again ?
Like i said before i'm not looking for flashy themes, just no issues & good battery life & speedy response when doing things on the phone.
Thanks again for the help....
Hi, I'm fairly new to the whole rooting Android and custom roms but I've got the basics down. I'm just wanting to know some good custom roms that are pretty much stock roms but with extras in the menus and everything like CM7, also any good rooting apps, etc.

Lot of people from florida for some reason. I can suggest a CM7 or if you want, a sense 3.0 rom. You really just have to go through the roms yourself and find one that you like personally.
I'm currently using CM 7.1 but have tried OMGB, MiKG, Fresh, and most of them I've just reverted back to the stock because certain main features don't work well etc. I've also tried a few not listed on Rom Manager by Clockwork Mod but half of them don't install properly or just work great on the EVO.
A tidbit of advice: Get rid of rom manager, if you want I can link you to my thread where I have a script to flash Amon_ra for you and everything. Rom manager and CWM are terrible on the Evo. So if you want that let me know.
Anyway, there will be bugs and you might just like AOSP in which case, stick with CM7 (I use 7.0.3.1 just because of the battery drain issues I heard about from CM7.1
Alright, let me get that link and I'll check it out.
link is here
ROM Manager and CWM work just fine on my EVO. I've never had a problem with a ROM or backup or anything with either of them. I don't use ROM Manager to flash new ROMs, but I do use it to download MIUI updates. Don't necessarily take one person's opinion as a definite. Don't use ROM Manager to install ROMs though, that will most likely give you problems. Do it the old-fashioned way.

Yes, but only after 1.8.19, which I just upgraded to...I was sticking with 1.8.5 for a while b/c it was very stable on my phone. But yes, you can upgrade now without using ROM Manager.

a simple search and you would find your answer....
but i'll help anyway.
TO INSTALL ANY CUSTOM ROMS, YOU MUST HAVE S-OFF AND CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY INSTALLED.
the best Sense 3.0 rom out there for the MT4G is Virtuous Unity. it is a beast rom, a must try.
website: http://www.virtuousrom.com/
thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1143177
to download:
1) download rom from the VU website.
2) VERIFY THE MD5SUM (done using the free mand5 app from market)
3) put the .zip file into SDcard.
to flash this rom:
1) reboot to clockworkmod recovery BE SURE FASTBOOT IS OFF
2) once in clockworkmod recovery, DO A NANDROID BACKUP IMPORTANT
3) do a FULL WIPE.
full wipe is:
Code:
wipe data
wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache (under advanced menu)
4) after you have full wiped, flash the rom, and wait for it to finish
5) reboot NOTE: THE FIRST BOOT WILL TAKE LONGER THAN USUAL, PLEASE BE PATIENT.
6) *hit the thanks button*
7) enjoy Virtuous Unity
PLEASE USE THE SEARCH BUTTON NEXT TIME.

nope, the kernel that comes with the ROM is pretty sweet
but, if you other kernels.. here are two of the best kernels for sense roms:
UNITY V9 KERNEL: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1121939
Demonspeed kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1214489
radio, i would suggest the panache radio, works best for my phone, but you should try all of them. each phone is different.

Virtuos Unity is the best sense rom to me hands down. Sense 3.0 is amazing. Hope everything is going well or has gone well with your process.
I prefer using TDJ's newest sense Rom that is sense 3.5. Im using it now and I love it. It's fast and stable and has good battery life and a lot of tweaks.

Guys i've flashed SFM 3.0 hero, good rom but the wifi doesn't works so i want come back to stock. the big problem is that's my sister's phone and this rom has deleted the recovery and now i don't manage to reinstall it. it says flash_image not found. i even tried with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645253 at the step missing flash image, but every thing i do it get reveals useless. here's a screenshot of prompt adb: http://imageshack.us/f/338/immaginevi.png/
Guys please help me, it's important!
more details:
i've started with the stock 2.1 and rooted with universal androot and flashed SFM 3.0 with AmonRA recovery.
now if i try open the recovery it's stuck on the bootlogo. i tried with fastboot, adb, the official RUU but it says that my phone's firmware is wrong.
update: now doesn't stuck on the boot logo, but it boots normally without a recovery.
it's rooted on the SFM 3.0 rom and give the "flash_image not found" error
first things first. i have no idea how to get back to stock using the official RUU
however i do have a few alternatives you could try just in case you don't find the answer your looking for
now you say you flashed sfm 3.0. a similar rom to this would be Wildheroc ROSE V5. its exactly the same as sfm 3.0 but its more stable. it can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1316886 also you could try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24343144&postcount=500 which is a themed version of ROSE V5 created by slobo2712.
if your looking for a stock rom then i highly recomend Heroine ++ which can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295991 this rom is seriously fast. its basically the same as stock with a few minor adjustments here and there
there are other roms which remove sense from your phone that i could recommend but if your looking to keep sense on your phone then those two roms are the ones I'd highly recommend
i know this doesn't exactly answer your question of how to flash the official RUU from HTC but as i said previously in the post i simply don't know. these are just a few options you could try if you don't find your answer.
if i can't access the recovery how can flash another rom??

Can you still use the phone normally???? If so maybe try installing Rom manager from the market and then flashing the recovery from there

Do you DEFINITELY still have the stock kernal? The reason I ask is because Elelinux roms usually come with flykernal13.
Sometimes re flashing a rom can solve issues. So I'd say go into your recovery and wipe data 2 or 3 times just to make sure because 1 wipe sometimes doesn't get rid of everything. Then wipe cache and dalvik cache and then re flash the rom
If that doesn't work then you could try flashing the Las Venturas kernal but I'd doubt it would be a kernal problem
You're wright it isn't a kernel problem but i did all kind Of wipes but 3D games and applications don't work

Hmmm if they worked on stock then I'd expect a newer version of Android to be ok as well . I'm not a big gamer on my phone so can't say I've ever experienced these problems
What games and applications don't work? And do they not work completely? Or just not as good as on stock?

I've never touched the bootloader so I'm afraid I can't really answer that question
As for best Rom. There isn't really an overall best rom. It all just comes down to personal preference and what your looking for in a Rom but there are roms that are a step ahead in each android version.
If stock 2.1 is what your looking for then you can't beat heroine ++ if you want sense or you could try VE 6.2 if you want AOSP
As for 2.2 froyo you could try FloYo. I used it once and it seemed ok
And as for 2.3 gingerbread. If your after a 2.3 sense Rom then wildheroc is by far the best one around at the moment. As for 2.3 AOSP roms I'd highly recommend decked_x or any of the elelinux roms or even the two latest cyanogenmod nightlies
