I'm looking to use boot manager and I know it needs to be a 2nd init rom not based off blur. I was considering the Justice ROM by the liberty team. I'm currently on Liberty 3 v2.0 and am happy with that but I really want to do want boot manager.
My concern with Justice is that it appears to be an old build and I haven't seen any updates to it. Other than CM7 are there any other current roms that would work?
Check over at the DX dev forum on rootzwiki. There are a handful of versions of miui and cm that you could use. It also seems to be the most up to date and active dev forum for this phone

Now that we have working CM 5.0.8 ports to our hero, does that mean that we can just take a g1 or magic theme and flash it?
Mod please move this to Q&A or at least the theme section...
I guess so but I'm not completely sure. The resolution is the same and probably also the apks so I can't see why not but again I'm not sure. You can try it out. Nothing will happen as long as you've got a nandroid
put simply..no they wont work..They have different framework-res.ap files,services.jar and others that are port or device specific
Themes based on the CM version you are using DO work as long as they are MDPI(Hero,g1,eris,etc) not HDPI(nexus,desire,etc).
There are some in Android Themes section of this forum,worked for me without problems.
If you want a theme meant for AOSP G1 rom...you cant for the reason mentioned above by Bonesy.Probably they wont even work across the diferent G1 roms.
Only themes based on the CM version you are using.
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.
I'm a noob and I have a few questions about Custom Rom's. First, what is Cyanogen? Is it a standalone Rom or is it a platform for Custom Rom's to run on? I have an X8 and I have Link2SD, if I flash the CM7 ROM in this forum will the apps in the EXT2 partition disappear? Also, I live in China at the moment and I flashed the operating system to an American Version... Which Rom will work better for me in China,the Cyanogen or the one ported from Sense? I bought my X8 in China. Thanks for the help~ oh and one last question, will SE really stop upgrading the X8 or is it just for the moment?
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
CyanogenMod is a popular custom Android ROM. It includes features that aren't normally built into Android.
The apps on the EXT2 partition will not disappear, however they will not appear in your app drawer. You'll have to re-install them/re-link them.
It does not matter where you bought the phone, the ROM will work exactly the same. The ported Sense ROMs are not completed and barely work.
SE has only stopped upgrading the X8's Android version (so we will never see an official 2.2 or 2.3 firmware). We will still see future 2.1 updates.
Edit: Also, this was posted in the wrong section.
Hey
I used to have a nice ROM installed with a kernel that allowed overclocking. I would run my shift at 1.5Ghz and was really happy. Then when Gingerbread was coming out, I decided to flash a Gingerbread ROM because I was just excited for 2.3
Now there were not kernels for Gingerbread ROMs at that time. So formatted/wiped everything from my device using Clockwork Recovery. Now here's where I have a few questions:
After I wiped the entire device, when my phone booted, it seemed to have 2.3 installed so I assumed that since there was an OTA update for Gingerbread, it must have gotten updated somehow. I want to find out whether I have a custom ROM with 2.3 installed or is it a regular Gingerbread stock ROM that's on my device?
I would like to find out what kind of ROM is installed on my device right now and do whatever it takes to be able to flash a kernel that allows overclocking, because going back to 800Mhz from 1500Mhz is just not doing it.
I would also really appreciate if someone gave me direct links to a custom ROM (since I understand at this time it is impossible to flash an overclocked kernel, since HTC has not released official Gingerbread source code yet) with a flashable kernel that's completely stable and allows overclocking to 1.5Ghz.
I really don't care about the whole Cynaogen Mod etc, because I use LauncherPro anyway and from what I understood when I was reading about Cyanogen Mod, it doesn't change THAT much other than adding a little bit more functionality and mainly focusing on changing the phone interface, which is completely irrelevant to me.
Thank you in advance.

If you just did a wipe and didn't flash anything, your still running the same ROM as you were before the wipe. If you go into setting > about phone > software information > more, this will tell you your current ROM (build version). If you would like to continue using Sense but want to overclock I would suggest MikShift 1.1, otherwise I would suggest the Shift Deck ROM. Both can be overclocked with several different kernels, just do a little reading through the dev section to see what best suites you.
Disregard, just typed what crump said but he beat me to it!
Hi guys, I have been looking in the Android development part of the forum for a week now and I need help in finding the ROM suitable for me. I have flashed about eight roms in the past week and i can't find the 'one'
I need your help
I'm looking for a ROM that looks like a nexus device (UI), I have tried the Google Edition but it was too laggy, but I want to be able to customise the device fully with pre-built settings like CyanogenMod or ProBAM. For example, I don't like the stock messaging app on the Google Edition ROMS, I actually prefer the TW layout, and so it would be nice to customise that. I also want a ROM that doesn't take up too much storage, so I am future proofed, and finally I want a ROM that has good battery life.
I like the look of CyanogenMod but there aren't any stable releases and there are only nighty builds, which I'm apprehensive about, because my phone is my daily driver. I'm also confused about people saying get CyanogenMod 10.2 instead of 10.1, but when I go to the Wiki page, there is no mention of 10.1 or 10.2...?
it would be great if someone could help me
