Does anyone have an easy root or universal root for Cellular South htc hero if not can one be done? Would really appreciate it very much if possible. Thanks in advance.
First off you are in the wrong section as there is a Q&A section for things such as this.
Second, there is a nice thread that explains everything as well as linking you to all the necessary files that you need to download. That thread can be found here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581869 . If you have any questions feel free to pm me as I check them frequently. Good luck to you, I have been on froyo 2.2 cyanogenmod 6 nightlies with my cell south hero, and i love it. So fast and none of the lag issues found on our stock 2.1 rom
Thanks for leading me in the right direction

can u please explain the nightlies to me or point me in the best direction to understand them. ive heard of them before and never know what they are. thanks in advanced
the nightlies are all of the updates to cm6 that are made throughout the day. To me these are more stable than the CM6.0.0 stable as lots of changes have been made between it's release and the latest nightlies. I take about fifteen mins every night hopping on and downloading the newest nightly. Sometimes the newest nightly is just a repeat of the night before but sometimes there are changes. All of these can be flashed over the last ones without wiping due to the same build. That way you can actually make settings one time and never have to worry about them after flashing a new nightly. I would also suggest downloading Decad3nce's BFS kernel and keep it updated as new releases are out. It must be flashed after each new nightly in order to remain in place.

I've been using various Cyanogen and Hero ROMs since June and have now reverted back to the stock Vodafone UK ROM. In general the stock stuff is fine, it's quick and bluetooth audio works for phone and media. I need root access though to use Bluex for bluetooth file send/receive and pushing the HTC_IME keyboard
What I'd like to know is does anyone know how to root the new Donut release?
I've tried the Haykuro's rootmesigned but get a FC and constant reboot...it was worth a try
there is already a full solution for you.

I used it on mine and works perfectly, no flaws. Install that and you are done.
yeah there is a way. but im not going to answer because this is in the wrong section. read the stickies up top, search around, then post in the right section and maybe you will get more answers.

Aw gee thanks...NOT
If you don't have anything contructive to add then don't.
I spent hours searching and read through countless threads. For your info I have been installing ROMS since they came out in May (before the Wiki was in place), have contributed and would you believe it I have even been thanked for my help, I am comfortable with using ADB, Fastboot etc, am familiar with linux and have read the stickies.
Is asking about a rooted ROM not developement? Have YOU read the stickies because from what I have read, surprise surprise, in this section there is a sticky up above here about hacking and rooting. As far as I'm aware any developement focused questions would be posted in the developement section not general.
If I'm wrong them I'm quite happy to follow the MODS rules and their directions.
Are you going to repeat your post with questions about OTA updates being in the wrong section too?
P.S. the very helpful 'htcmagic' had already spoiled it for you
@BigRD: no problem mate, glad i could help. I installed the rom above and i am extremely happy with it. I have also installed busybox on it too.
Its much faster that vodafones original.
Hey mate, try Amon_Ra's Donut Rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538645
Very fast and stable with Root and others. I'm using it on my vodafone magic. Works really nice.
Or alternatively just go back to Cyanogen. Its Donut and it has more features than any other rom on this site so...its all up to you
@widezu69 & @htcmagic Cool, thanks guys.
I spent a lot of time with Cyanogen's ROMs up until the Google thing happened and was running eViL's Hero ROMs up to v3.0. I wanted to get back to a smoothish stock ROM issued by my network supplier but rooted by one of the great developers on XDA. I keep finding that other than the Vodafone original and the Google ION ROM bluetooth audio for phone and multi media working at the same time is very hit or miss. Am going to give both versions posted here a try over the next few days
Another one who wants a Rooted Vodafone Donut
I am also searching for a method to root a stock Vodafone Magic 32B that has had an OTA Donut update.
The answers on the thread so far involve flashing a new Donut Rom - my issue is that I have Donut already, and have never rooted - I am assuming the Root instructions included in the Wiki and Relentless Rooter are only aimed at Cupcake.....or am I wrong?
Any help/advice appreciated....
rooting the magic 1.6
Hi folks, dito as above. I've been up half the night trying to work this out. Have recently bought an htc magic from vodafone, and been 'updated' to doughnut 1.6. Not bad, but I'm really keen to get root on this, and eventually install the latest rom from cyanogen...
Seems there are now a few issues for people like me wanting to root their handsets... so far I've managed to erase my user settings, but keep getting errors trying to flash a rom. Followed the link above to nk02's thread, and no luck. Same issue, update aborts. There must be an easier way...
nk02 says his ROM works with 'wipe + flash'. How the heck do I do that? Seems this latest update to 1.6 has made all the other methods of gaining root obsolete... I'm far from a linux novice, and would love some advice here. And please don't tell me to keep searching, solid help would be appreciated. Cheers.
Hi,
I have Froyo installed on my Galaxy 3 right now but it crashes too often and is slow, it also have lots of "Orange" apps and theming, was installed a year go maybe.
I checked this sticky post, but i'm completely new to the Android scene so I'm not sure which of the available ROMS is the most stable and fast for daily use. I guess ICS and gingerbread are out of the question, so can someone please suggest the best Froyo ROM.
Thanks

This Post is in wrong section but i think many people who belongs to CM team visit this section rapidly.
There is some question to CM team who manage P500 ROM.
1- last/First stable release is published about 6 months earlier.
2- Day by day your ROM getting Buggy. means we cant use Phone is there is no network.
3- You release weekly new Rom without solving past bug.
4- think how many ROM you have published but still not got a good stable full featured ROM.
5- why you still struck with same GB ROM why you not trying ICS or JB for P500 officially.
Please consider this post seriously because i love cm ROM. This post is just represent the frustration of Cm lovers.
Hope Next release will works fine...
rash97's CM10 works perfectly from my end. You're probably downloading all the experimental ones.
I do see your perspective but according to their wiki:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/Latest_Version
Stable versions are those where all known issues have been addressed and resolved. This version is for everyday use.

Nightly builds are daily compiled builds from source. This version therefore has the latest bleeding edge features & tweaks, but it is also the mostly likely to have bugs and issues. This version is not for general use. Nightly builds are available here.

If you really want a bugfree rom, just stick with the stable release. I don't see a difference between the stable and the nightlies other than the stable release is stable and the nightlies aren't.
That was for your points 1-4. And for 5, let's be reasonable. The P500 is pretty old and shouldn't even be running ICS or JB.

You earn so many thanks for that fake stunt.
Then after some months you came again and ask in every thread "xyz is not working what to do"
And now you post this **** in wrong thread .
Now listen

you don't have a right to blame anyone, people are helping you by providing you CM and other ROMs, they are not working for you here. And official ICS won't be there because we couldn't have ICS(cm9) with .35 kernel officially
Agree with Aspee....and Mods - this thread needs deletion, more so from the development threads.

How do you even dare to write such a words?
Optimus One was never meant to be any kind of flagship, so is quite natural, that
it's based on deprecated hardware platform. Even though, devs made quite an spectacular amount of work and brought us some truly amazing work. Due to hardware limitations, there won't be any newer stable ROM than CM7. Also, the number of people willing to develop for Optimus One is inevitably shrinking as they move to more modern platforms.
Last, but not least, have you ever donated a single penny to CM team or any freelance O1 dev? They are doing it for free in their spare time!

Why dont u just add him to ur ignore list?
The CM code base is stable, no software is ever bug free, this is one of the main reasons that this community exists. To fix bugs and provide newer and mostly better releases. This devices was never designed to run anything higher than GB to begin with, whining because hobbyist developers cannot produce fast enough is rather pathetic. If you don't like it, feel free to pull the source and do it yourself.
The people developing for P500 are among the most talented on xda, this is the reason why a lowly device has such a huge following here. If you look at other, newer/better devices, you will notice that very few have their own forum and their roms are usually only available in the Android Development and hacking section.
The work that our devs have been doing is truly outstanding, we have ports for every conceivable rom out there (cept for thin rom which i personally would love to see) and in a very good working order too. I use CM9 by hephappy as my daily driver and I have to admit, I cannot use the stock rom or any GB based rom simply because of the features provided by ICS.
So please, rather give thanks and provide bug reports, the devs want to build these roms for us, don't make them pull out just because you have no tact
If u want stable cm y don't u develop it for yourself. Stop complaining . If u don't like cm and if its not stable den don't use it as simple as that. Use the stock rom. U r not paying the developers so just keep quite. Don't spam the developers thread. People like u are not meant to be on xda.
Peace.

CM has released a stable release in the last 6 months i.e. in June.
So you should've trolled the next month.

CM has already released a stable rom that is really ready for daily use and a lot better then stock LG rom: it's CM 7.2 with Gingerbread.
Other Android releases are declared not compatible with poor hardware of the lg p500, so others cm roms you see are not officials, derivated from public cm sources and modified.
It's not possible an official cm > 7 (cm9 - cm10) for Lg Optimus One.
If you want a CM9-CM10 rom stable in your smartphone it's not a cm fault, but a LG P500 fault, it's really old, even if is a good phone.
I use Oxygen 3.0.0 with ICS for daily use, i have some reboots but very rare, even if they happen (every 90-100 hours...).
It this is good for you, try Oxygen by Popdog, in case not, change your smartphone, you can not pretend to have latest technologies without spending money!

The reason they don't have a stable ROM is because your not a developer, because if you were it would be stable.
Post in the correct section next time.
Thread Closed.
So I'm going to acquire my own Peregrine in a few days, just getting stuff ready.
If I were to scout for a rom right now, which one would be best for a daily driver?
I've been lurking around the Official CM11 thread for the Peregrine but it seems that it's having Wifi troubles and whatnot, and is still in Nightly.
Now, the question remains, which of the already available ROMs aside from CM11 would be nice? Like it wouldn't have major issues and all?
Also, does Root come by default upon flashing a ROM or does SuperSu(or whatever's available) have to be flashed thereafter?
Thanks,
Zyquil
Indeed, yes.
Seems like CarbonRom is working well for people, and is feature-rich too.
But I am yet to try it myself.
Just hope that the PA development for Peregrine won't die out.
There is no such thing as a "best ROM/kernel/mod/whatever", which is why we do not allow such threads out of respect for the developers.
Just head over to the dev section and try a few yourself, then you can decide which ROM suits you the best.

Hey guys I've had my g3 rooted for a couple months now and I have yet to find a really good ROM to use cm12 was to buggy and grew tired of nightlies. Liquidsmooth was really good only issue I had was Skype and hangouts. I'm on candy5 latest build now and I'm getting a lot of glitches, force closes, etc. I've clean installed the last 2 roms and experience problems. If Liquidsmooth didn't have that Skype issue I would probably stuck to it. Any ROM suggestions?

For the most part, all the AOSP Roms like the ones you received will have similar bugs until they are ironed out over time. The least buggy Roms are those based of the lg ROM. Right now there are only 2 stock lg lollipop Roms. Both of them are very stable however they're basically just rooted versions of the stock lollipop ROM.
I see thanks for the reply can you link me 2 the 2.

[ROM][STOCK][BUMP'd] LG D850 20F Lollipop 5.0.1 (+ extras)
TekROM - D850 - Stock 20f - Lollipop - Deodex/Root/Busybox
Keep in mind both still have all that carrier bloat we love to hate. I use the first rom without issue and debloated it myself using titanium backup.
I'm surprised we don't have more roms. It's a great phone but I feel that support is lacking.

It's because the development took and still takes lots of work. The devs had a lot of work just to root Lollipop, then to flash twrp. But I also do think that between all roms available (including KK roms and LP roms) we don't have as many as other devices from the same gen have. Heck, I had my Galaxy S3 and there were ports for everything. Can't complain though, between the stock ones and illusion (talking my preferences), I feel complete.

For KitKat, there's plenty of ROMs available, partially due to the fact that porting D855 ROMs was cake (swap out kernel and modules, and you're golden). That's why there weren't too many D850-specific ROMs.
On LP, there's a new handshake process between ROM and kernel, so we can't do that...yet. I feel like "development" on ROMs as a result is going to be hindered, since there's hope that the process will get cracked, then we can just port straight from D855 with little effort. Otherwise, if we have to mess about with the D85020f base, it'll take much more time.

@Spz0 has been talking about this as of late in his OA855-5 ROM thread, as he is readying to move the ROM to Lollipop.
The defacto LG standard ROM of many, CloudyG3 by @Cloudyfa, also will inevitably jump on this bandwagon, but he hasn't been spotted in a while. He's probably just busy or something.
Not sure why this thread even exists.. this subject has been discussed ad nauseam in the Lounge.
@Nexus.S the question you've asked is one that will never offer ONE end all solid answer. It is truly a case of "to each his own". You need to continue doing what you were doing and try obe that fits all of your needs.
There are literally hundreds of users that have commented on every rom available for this device. Asking there will get you quicker answers, rather then waiting for people to find your thread and post something witty.
Threads of this type end up being nothing more then, OT threads.
Please check the index (found HERE) which lists all the roms for this device.

I can also vouch for the first one. In fact, I was far less aggressive with debloating and have skipped xposed for now... and it's more stable, better battery life and (IMO) a better UI.

True. For some it's more the 'personal process' of discussion with others that seems important, and less the strict data/direct content of the discussion.
resurrection remix 5.0.2 is a really great rom i had doubts because it was based off of cm but i was impressed
