Excuse me for asking. I recently started to make my own modified rom. I was wondering if it would be possible to have LWP added to a stock rom? The software base is 2.1-update1. I was trying to avoid using a lot of other roms because I don't like certain things on each. Any help? Sorry if i posted in wrong forum.
Just for reference.
After a couple more hours of google I found this:
forum.androidcentral.com/htc-hero-roms-hacks/9679-mods-add-ons.html
The 2 Zip Files are what I flashed. And they work great, but are a little slugish.

yes, it can be done. dangerrom has lwp on a stock rom. he has the live wallpapers set out as a seperate download as lwp.zip.
i am not 100 percent sure but i think that it should work on a stock sprint rom as well...
if i installed the LWP.apk on my rooted htc hero from csouth running the stock 2.1 rom, would it work?

Hi folks!
Very new noob here and very curious about what else I can do now that I've rooted my Inspire 4g. I used attn1 hack kit and it took me roughly 30 minutes to complete the root process.
So, first question is - I've noticed, and already read about it, that my wifi is no longer working and that I need to do something.....yes I'm a noob and I'm not sure what exactly I need to do to get my wifi feature working again.
Second - What else can I do now with a rooted phone other than the tethering/wifi hotspot features? Any cool apps? Any updated core (not sure of term) program that will replace the default image loaded with attn1 hack kit?
I'm honestly completely content with what attn1 hack kit did minus the wifi.
So basically looking to fix my wifi issue, i can connect to networks but can't use them, and also looking to tweak/speed up phone even more and load some cool apps.
I apologize for being a noob.
if you want, you can try the rom in my signature....
in all honesty, try every rom out there for your phone. see which one works for you
You have a lot you can do still, read around these forums, use the search, and read the stickies, they'll help you out a lot. The first thing I'd recommend looking into is flashing a new ROM (the "core program"), which should take care of your wifi problem.
Just remember, most questions you'll have have been answered at some point, always search a few different ways before posting multiple threads asking questions.
But good luck! Welcome to being rooted, once you learn what you can do you'll realize why everyone recommends it. As for root apps, ROM Manager is must have IMO, makes flashing a lot easier, Titanium Backup is good, Root Tools is pretty useful (although on some custom ROMs like CM7 there are easier ways to do most of the stuff it can do), and SetCPU if you want to overclock your CPU.
My favorite thing about being rooted, other than flashing roms, is setcpu. With a Rom that supports it, you can overclock and underclock. I underclock when the screen is off and it helps battery life immensely. Just be careful with overclocking. Some phones do better with it. I never overclock past 1.2 ghz.

Did you flash the stock ROM (w/ or w/o SL) from his thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058042
I was previously running it and didn't have any issues with WiFi.
The very first thing you need to do is flash a rom. The hack kit leaves you with the downgraded rom, which is strictly for the exploit during the root process. It is not intended to be left on the phone. You can flash back to the latest stock rooted rom or find a custom modded rom to try out.

Honestly you have tons of options. I have had a rooted phone for a long time and just now joined the site. I have been reading all the posts for months now and have gotten pretty good at it all. You first need to flash a new rom and learn how to tweak the base roms. Then once you master that, you will start flashing new radios and RILs. Then you will learn to mix and match kernals and roms. Then you will start to overclock and undervolt your cpu for performance enhancements and battery saving. There is a ton to do but reading the post in the development section will get you where you need to be. It will take some time but you will learn it all. Rom Manager is probably the most needed app of them all to start with.
Thanks for the replies folks!
I've gone and flashed my second rom! LOL...I know....what a young'en
I went with the Android Revolution ROM and I gotta say...loving the battery life so far...much better than stock.
I'm looking at changing the main theme and would like to go with the Code Red one. The pre reqs are - DEODEXED ROM, Root, S-Off, DHD Sense ROM, Clockwork Mod and ROM Manager.
So question - I now know that I've got all of the above met except for the DEODEXED ROM. Not sure what this is....I have searched the forums and wasn't able to come up with a clear answer as to what this means.
Oh...lesson learned...back up my contacts before I flash my next ROM. I lost it all! lol
Just a bump for some help.

all custom roms are deodexed. you do have to be careful when applying themes though. most of them are specific for a specific build of a rom. you cant always apply any theme to any rom

Android Revolution is fully de-odexed. So go ahead and try the theme you want. It should work fine.
EDIT* Sorry, i was a little late on reply, didnt see Pirateghosts answer.
I'm trying to make a modded battery for the current custom ROM that I'm running (Smooth ICS 5.1).
I had never used the UOT Kitchen before yesterday and let's just say that it didn't exactly go the way I thought it would. I tried making a few battery mods yesterday but they didn't work when I flashed them. From what I understand, you need to upload framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk. That's what I did. 2 of the times I got a file back that didn't change anything after it was flashed. The other two times I got errors from the UOT Kitchen with regard to the cooking of the file.
Am I doing something wrong here? I've done quite a number of searches and can't really find anything helpful. Is there some other change I have to make? Some other file I need to upload? I'd really appreciate the help.
Thanks a lot!
-Tony
I don't think it works on ics. I haven't tried, but that's what I hear. I've used it plenty of times on GB though, and it works fine.

As per title, ive just bought a One S and im looking a for a ROM that is similar to stock but has improved performance features. Ive done some research and I have Trickdroid http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1637102 and Android Sense Stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2065357.
Are there any others that I may have missed?
Also as both of these are JB roms, i presume there is no flash? Does this mean if certain sites have youtube or flash content, they will not work? Is there a workaround for this?
Thanks

Not too sure on ROMs as I use CM10. However, you can install Flash manually from the APK provided here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931671
I use this myself.

Thanks for the quick reply, I found this link with the archived versions for android, http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
Hopefully the "newer" ones will also work.
The ROM zip-file for trickdroid contains com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk at least. I havnt flashed it so I dunno if it works, but it should...
I got small problem. I love the Sense but is not available(working) for the slide. The only one that I found was the Mike, but is old. I would like to learn how to port a rom. I spend hours Google the subject and found nothing related to slide and sense. Most - if not all - are related to CM.
The stock sense 3.0 works fine, but lack some esthetic and improvement. I would like to "make" 4.1 rom, but have no clues how. Any one know a good guide for beginners?. Even at my age ( old fart) I am willing to learn just need a "push" into right directions. Thanks.

Sorry for the "quiet time". I was reading and downloaded some roms, but still do not found any good quide to rom making. I had partial success with rom kitchen. I took my stock rom and made one without ruu. That way I can flash it - if need without flashing radio. I added root and busybox, then zipalign. For some reason, the kitchen refuse to de-oxed. The root manager lite did not install. I had to side loaded. I found a quide to adjust transparency, but it is for evo phone. Will try that. I found couple of guides to make my own rom, but all are for non-sense roms. I want to learn to port sense rom. The other interesting info I found. The slide have Expresso UI. Variant of sense, but not true sense. Could that be a problem?. Thanks.

Do what you want but if it were me I'd learn to fly in a Piper Cub. You can always graduate later to a Lear jet. Good Luck!
You COULD Google "Porting Sense ROMs" & it will give you plenty of selections.
Firstly, I'm not sure is it right section since it is not "development" but simply ROM cleanup, so Mods please move this thread to whatever appropriate section if needed.
When I started using this phone I was looking for clean, junkless stock ROM and I couldn't find any (there are variations on custom ROMs that resemble the stock one, but not the actual stock ROMs with junk removed, or at least I haven't found one). Finally I learned how to root my phone and I did it myself, but for long time I couldn't find cure nor reason for the small but annoying problem described here. Later I have found out how to fix it, and now I have pretty good stock ROM with all the "custom" junk apps and outdated apps removed. I am using it myself and I have no problems whatsoever with it.
I thought I can share my recovery backup of this custom stock ROM if anyone else is interested in it?

Which version of the stock ROM are you basing this upon? Miktouch 0.7 is pretty much a cleaned up stock ROM, the last one that was released by HTC/T-Mobile (1.63.531.2). It still has some of the T-Mobile apps but they can easily be deleted.

Yeah, that's the same as Miktouch 0.7. There's a few optional patches for Miktouch, as well: Liquid Smooth Rosie, Depaginated App Drawer, No Scrolling Cache, No Recent Apps or Genius Button patches.
