[Q] Rooting my android

hi Experts,
i tried to find the answer from the forum, took me hours but no answer.That is why I am posting this thread.I want to root my HTC G1.But I don't want to use custom roms.On iphone when I jailbreaked my phone i did not go for another rom ,i used the same that came with it.My question is if I root my android device ,do I really need to install a new rom or I can use the same that came with it but will gain some power of having root.
sincerely,
ml

You don't need to but why not use a rom that has more features than stock.

Thanks for reply.I want to but afraid of make the device too slow.i can still remember when I upgraded ios 3.0.2 to ios4 on my iphone ,it was quiet annoying to use.I just want to root to move my apps to the sd card.

Installing a custom rom, normally, doesn't make your phone goes slow... but it gives it a HUGE boost and add features!!! And Android is not Ios 4...

Thanks now I think there is no way to turn back.Can you or any one please tell me which rom I will go for.Cause My Htc G1 is not T-Mobile version ,it is from Rogers.i know there are a lot of thread about it ,I just need to focus on that rom which is the most stable and will work all functionality of the phone.

Install pure Android on table or phone?

Hi there,
just got a question: Is it possible to flash every Android version to every device? I mean, for example: having a HTC Desire which probably does not get the update to Android 2.3. Would it be possible to install a pure and clean Android version from Google (accepting not having Sense)?
The question arose because I was interested in the Motorola Xoom tablet. However, we know, Motorola very often have serious problems with delivering updates, right? So, I just asked myself if I could install an Android update even if Motorola does not offer a special update.
Thanks!

People in the android forum will cook some stuff up for it. And I am sure they will cook a 2.3 to the desire. I have 2.2 on my CDMA Desire in the states and it hasn't even been released yet. So, I am sure that it will be done. No worries. And Motorola has kept the droid up to date I don't see why they wouldn't keep the XOOM up to date like the droid.

Sorry for my english. Nice question.
It is possible to install a pure Android, just like those that exist in the SDK in the devices? I own a Motorola Backflip(MB300) this idea occurred to me when I was customizing a ROM. It's possible ?

[Completed] [Q] Update Oneplus One OTA - India

Hi Guys,
Oneplus one is about to release in India, but CM team has screwed things up, it won't receive OTA.
BUT, is there any source to download the OTA manually and apply them ? I'm also guessing, for that the phone will have to be unlocked and rooted and have a custom bootloader like TWRP to apply the update ?
And, just in case, if accidentally anyone updates the phone with the inland version of android which will come along as beta version for now, any stock 11S version might come in handy, any links or source for that too ?
Just when things started to get better and Amazon India took the deal, CM had to screw us all right in the *** ... why such jerks ? Just WHY !! ...
So,
1) How to apply OTA if I chose to use CM 11S
2) Any news if I can put CM12S (or something like that for CM12 for OPO) on phone if that comes along for international market
3) If I accidentally put that local team made version of android (which wont be customizable for sure not at least like CM ) and wanna go back to 11S how to do that ?
Please help, its about to launch on 2nd Dec, and IF I'm lucky might get to lay hand on one ... But again, this entire new thing keeps me troubled ... what if EVERYTHING goes wrong ?
But why CM ?
