Firstly: I recommend Juwes ROM 4.2 it ticks your boxes
Secondly: Brace yourself for learning curve which comes with XDA especially applicable to posting in the right section...
Good luck

Do you use Express Tools on HD2 Toolkit?

This is a poll for this toolkit. So please choose what you use.

You are very much appreciated to develop this toolkit, with detailed instruction. This will help a newbie get things done much easier.
Hopefully the tool will keep updated.

sorry wrong thread

Haha the results of this poll are getting interesting every hour. lol

I tried to install Qaliza's Deisre HD ARA v1.2, however, i failed and i removed from my system.

No but i may look into using it in the future..

I haven't re flashed my phone since before this toolkit was released. I plan to update this weekend and will try the kit out. Once I have, I will vote in the poll. Perhaps in the meantime, an option for "I haven't tried it yet" can be added.

this tool is great and u are great dev
the tool is working perfect and i always use express feature

Thank you for your GREAT toolkit

Don't be sorry. Just learn to search. Hell or even just go into the correct section and just open your eyes.

Lil harsh but I thanked you anyway but I was asking what's the best way because it looks like its more than 1 way to do it.

To be fair, you could've been flamed way worse than that!
Best way to root is to follow the guide you understand the most and seems the clearest, or to use one of the one click solutions. One way is rarely better than another, but some are easier. Either way, you need to do some reading and understand what you're doing.

Questions go in the Q&A section

Alright thanks I have a gnex just wanted to see if its the same way to root because it is a nexus device that's all I wanted to know if there is a one click method out I'll use it thanks for the help

WugFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.5 was featured on XDA's frontpage, this could turn out to be the most used root tool for the Nexus 7

[MINI GUIDE] Phone Vocabulary - x8 Specific

This thread is being created to explain, in short, a few common phone 'terms.' Now although there are many threads explaining the same thing they are 'thicker' and written differently. A different guide will help a different person. I think it is valid that there is more than one explanation of the same thing. If you have ANY suggestions, please leave them in post form below. I have explained this relative to the Xperia x8 and this is why it is in our territory.
Remember that this is a MINI guide. So not every term in the android language will be explained. For a more complicated guide see HERE or on the everything x8 w8 thread here. Both guides are different.
Anyway Here is a mini guide about phone terms:
A ROM stands for Read Only Memory, ususally on this site referring to the phone's internal memory where your apps are stored. It's like an operating system. (OS) When people say they're flashing a new ROM, it usually means they are installing a new 'operating system'. A custom rom may have new features different to the STOCK rom.
The term Stock usually means the version of something installed by the manufacturer. Or in other words, the stuff already on that thing.
An .APK is a Package on Android. Usually you will meet these when installing apps on your phone. This is, simply put, just a file extension, like .exe on windows.
Rooting is simply giving your phone administrators rights. No roms or anything. Once rooted you could install clockworkmod which would allow you to install a rom that would work on you STOCK kernel (the one that comes with xperia).
A kernel is a set of instructions to a phone. different kernels or custom kernels (not stock) enable you to flash some more advanced roms as not all roms will work on STOCK kernel.
Also, in most cases, different kernels allow overclock and undervolt. These things allow you to make your device run faster.
Unlocking your BootLoader is required to install a custom kernel. Unlocking a bootloader can be difficult and if done wrong, can brick your device completely.(make it useless like a brick) This is why I did not do it until a few weeks ago - because I was scared. If you do however find yourself bricked, look to my guide no further than HERE.
You flash kernels with Flashtool. But you MUST have an unlocked BootLoader to do this.
If I was to recommend a rom, I would say MiniCyanogenmod (CM for short). The developer, nAa, focuses on getting the galaxy nexus android - pure version. Check out my review on the stable ever wonderful MiniCM9 HERE.
Links to Flashtool, ROMS and other things mentioned will be in my other guides hyperlinked in the article.
Please be generous with the 'Thanks' if you appreciate my effort.
Special Thanks to I Am Nice for his consistent helpful feedback

You should better explain what kernel is. Like conection between hardware and ROM

Please elaborate

All this is explained in "Everything X8/W8". Please, make something new instead.

Pls don't disrespect chris. I can tell you he knows what he's saying (he didn't get to become RT for nothing).
I admire your efforts, but please add more definitions. For example: you didn't really explain what "bootloader" means. And like chris has said, it's already explained (in morr detail) in another thread. Hopefully you'll add more jargons in the near future. Good job though. :beer:
Edit: you may want to report those users thay are stalking you.

Thankyou. After reading this again. I see that I have crossed the line on that one. Apologies to Chris and thanks to you. :fingers-crossed: I was quite tired and wasn't really paying attention. But I have typed that same line so many times that those keys on my 'board are worn out. Just a bit angry. But sorry again. No disrespect was intended.

Why would you start a ROM project with a "dev team" if you don't even know how to debug boot problems?

Chk Ur framework or kernel most times problem in framewrk ...some time kernel not supported some init.d like hell lock kernet not booted if 99complete tweak present in init.d folder .. so i thnk problem in these two...!!
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda app-developers app

this question is asking the same logic as "why is my computer slow?"
there are 78,644,223,887 available reasons why,
i'd suggest broadening your "team's" knowledge of the principles and basics of the software industry,

Did you cook your rom with kitchen...If yes then youm must sign your rom and all apps inside it.To My thoughts the rom does'nt even start this is the most common case.Check whether your rom contains boot.img and build.prop as if Kitchen din't report any error.If you modified framework please sign it with Jarsigner and other modified apps also.Now sign your rom with kitchen and then flash it.....
Gud luck,
Im awaiting your rom..
optimusinc

Best I can say is try installing the modded apps one by one..c if they work..then test ur tweaks to b if they work..n finally make the zip file correctly by comparing to other zips..mostly probably u messed up ur updater script..

Thanks....

i understand that you are a budding developer,
however i've seen you making threads recently on issues that could be solved be either doing research and proper utilization of the search function,
if you really want to learn i'd suggest learning it the proper way by researching the basics and understanding how the android system works, making question threads won't help you at all and it never did for everyone else,
as you can see you need to look for the answers on your own,
considering google and xda has both a search engine,
please care to look into those matters which confuses you,
try first building your own updater-script and making a flashable zip file,
proper ROM building is not easy so i'd suggest keep your heads up and learn it the right way,
also,
people will just probably troll and ridicule you with threads like this
