I just received my Shield today, and would like to root so that I can install Xposed and Xprivacy, along with TiBu and other utilities, but would like to know if there's a way to return to stock if things don't work out.
Please let me know if you're aware of a way to return to the factory ROM?
Thanks!
Disregard. Found it.

Has anyone else found the messaging app to be extremly buggy? I have the stock ATT rom and haven't made any major mods to it. It's constantly freezing, the text input field is always hidden, etc. Is there a fix somewhere? At this point I'm even willing to pay for an app, but I can't find any. SMS chat doesnt work with 6.5.
Please and thanks for any help!

I'm inexperienced with custom ROMs, but I think its a 50/50 chance. Give it a shot and if it doesn't work you can simply unistall it. Everything will be like before. That's the beauty of CABs.
no luck
not compatible with system.

did you get the error before installation? if so, my guess is htc put in a check to see what rom ur running so the fix cant install on another device. maybe a good dev here can decompile the cab and remove the check/block.
cannot d/l from htc site....
Just got around to installing this. My messaging app wasn't giving me much trouble prior to now, so i just installed it. It froze right when I opened the first message and backed out. Just tried again and it froze again. Way to go HTC.

what should i do first anyone wanna help me here??? what are good apps, or roms to try and stuff. new to android just looking for some help.
my idiot friends did it i signed in on his comp
start by looking in the guide wiki page read everything you cn in there so that you completely understand what you are doing. then the first thing to do is root.
use the pre-kitchen. it's the easiest way to get root on your phone.
find it in the ROMS sticky wiki.
ROMs are also in the sticky wiki. i'd say go with fresh 1.1 or gumbo 1.5c for now, and when you get a better knowledge of what's going on then maybe test on like 2.1 and stuff.

I tried it after I posted. It is using the old amend scripting so it won't flash with the new recovery. I'm sure someone with more knowledge than me will upload the stock keyboard eventually. I would if I knew how.
I asked the dev of the starwars rom and he gave me some instructions.
my phone refuses to s=off no matter how many times i try with the gfree method. i do everything right in the thread and i even used the video on youtube and it still doesn't work. can someone help.
And you're on Android 2.2.1?
yeah i am.

(In spanish accent) You keep using that link. I do not think it leads where you think it leads.
OP, we need more details if you want our help. Where does the problem occur?
I use my phone a lot for work, mostly email. We are now required to install a Microsoft Device Management software on our phones and it checks for rooted devices. I like the option of having the features of the custom ROM I'm running, and some software I use with root. Is it possible to just unroot a custom ROM, or do I have to go back to stock? Thanks!
Not sure. I would try root cloaking apps first.

There's a thread somewhere here on xda that has the file, but I can't remember which one it is.
