hey guys i have an htc pure and quite frankly, its slow, really really slow.
i was wondering are there any cool things i can do with it to make it faster?
ive heard of overclocking and things, but can anyone give me links to files and tell me how to install them?
i really liked this phone at the beginning and now i rather use my razr...
i just need some tips on how to make it faster!
and i know i can delete things and close programs but i need more technical help!
Might want to post this in the Pure subforum instead.
Hi all,
was just a small query, well a few of them actually haha.
First of all How safe is rooting and flashing a rom? what are the chances of me bricking my phone and how easy is it to restore it to working condition?
Now Which rom...I have been searching for ROMs for god knows how long, and wanted to get other peoples opinion on the best rom?
I wanted a ROM that still has some features of sence (for example the contact facebook sync ect) I dont mind going with full sence, i do actualy really like it, but im not too fussed to have a rom without it.
Speedy, aditional features (yes please) and appstosd+ mainly because my desire is running out of internal memory !
Another big thing, how easy is it to gain the ability to join networks with proxy settings?
Thanks in advance
Hey Guys,

Cheers guys!

Hi welcome to XDA-Developers, your guides and resources to phone related and much more.. enjoy..ooh the search button can help alot *tip*
I just rooted my phone 2 days ago for the first time from stock gingerbread to cm7.
The ingredients for a successful root/flash:
-Read Read Read. Read the materials associated with your tools, your handset, and the commands needed to make this a successful mod. Read through the tutorials available, go through the different methods and then judge which is right for you, taking into account prep, tools, and your available knowledge. Some are easy, others will usually have a disclaimer regarding difficulty. Don't be discouraged, there's a ton of stuff to get associated with. I jumped balls first and went straight for downgrade, s-off and engineering bootloader (this bootloader may save you later, I suggest you really look into it).
-Understand how to use your tools for the job. You'll see adb, android sdk, fre3vo, gfree and a few other tools of the trade to the task you wish to accomplish. Learn them, learn the commands and the syntax. Inputting commands through the command prompt can seem a little scary considering the potential for disaster but time, patience and perserverance. When in doubt....READ MORE.
-No shortcuts! Learn everything to start, taking the easy way is fast and well....easy. But you won't get the exposure to the tools, commands, or environment you'll be working in. I went through the whole long process of setting up the android sdk just to know what I was getting into. You'll be happy when you hit a problem like getting kicked out of adb shell and knowing what command to enter to jump right back in...
-Follow the directions to a tee. No deviation, improvisation, or imagination. It's the difference between a good mod and an expensive paperweight. When in doubt, search the forums for your answer (and google), if you can't find something specific to your question then ask away.
Good luck and enjoy, you can't imagine how many goodies are waiting for you on this side of the fence.
welcome to the Glacier forums!
after succeeding root access and s-off, there MANY different roms out there. my person favorites would be Sense based roms, more specifically Sense 3.5, and even more specific, RCMix3D by capy. that ROM makes the MT4G BEAST!!

Hey welcome! One bit of advise I can offer is that when you are done fideling with sense...you should really check out the AOSP based Roms. Personally I really dig Faux123's gingerbread nexus rom. Great battery life and performance its cyanogen based so you get all.the tweaks but I find Faux's is.less glitchy. Message me if.you want and ill explain why sense looks nice but runs awful ha

ICS in mytouch 4g
I have been using mytouch 4g from one year. I rooted my device last week using cynogenmod wiki procedure. From last week I am experimenting with ICS: Creamed Glacier, currently in version 4.0. Wifi issues are fixed. ROM is great.
I have a HTC Evo 3D, and I absolutely love the phone. I am impressed with how much better this phone runs compared to my HTC Evo 4g. My Evo3D is stock, and here lately I have been looking into rooting it, allowing me superuser access.
The downfall, I get slightly confused to the whole thing. I am sure that I can perform the rooting task itself, but what has been keeping me from doing so, is I don't know what I am doing after I root the phone. I see stuff about flashing roms and kernels and all, but I do not understand how you do that? How do you add custom stuff? What is flashing? How do you add all the custom things? Can you add stuff to roms?
I know all of these questions come off noobish, but I am just looking for an expansion of it from other people. Anyone that has an idea of how it all works, any information provided is greatly appreciated.
hey guys need your help figuring out if its worth updating my ls996 from its current zv7 to the latest update. currently i am rooted and running quite a few mods and i am pretty happy with the way i have it, but i guess my question is, any advantages on updating? gain in speed or battery life? from personal experience would you recommend updating or holding off until the possible android 6 update? i mean what changes have been made to the firmware since zv7? also one other thing i'd like to ask would be, how are you guys overclocking or i should say what are you guys using? particular app? i gotta say im pretty lucky, my device after i had to switch it out with sprint due to overheating, turns out the one i got in return came out solid, does have the snapdragon 810, never really had any issues with overheating, which is why im considering overclocking.... any help or opinions are greatly appreciated.
