[Q] Noob to Android modification...

So my Sensation 4g is only my 2nd Android phone... G2 being the first and i've decided to start modding this one. Last night I followed the 4 steps to get the phone switched to s-off and then rooted. I'm looking into a new rom for the phone. I like all the videos and stuff i see for CM7 but it seems like it may be a min for that to drop a release. Do you guys have anything else you suggest? Also any particular app's? I've instated Bloat Freezer and a couple others to try and trim the HTC Sense 3.0 fat. Thank you in advance

Download a sensless ROM.
And I only use 1 root app, titanium backup. Comes in handy a lot, and can save u data.

Do I need TI back up if I already have CWM?

If you dont want all the nice graphics from Sense roms go with No-sense like the other person suggested. If you like Sense, then you can try any rom out there. I really like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849
I was using CM roms on all my other phones, but I guess porting it to this phone is taking a little longer and not everything is working properly.
There is a difference between TI Backup and CWM. CWM will back up the complete rom with all your setting and apps, TI back up will back up your apps with data and when you jump from ROM to ROM you can restore with TI back up all your apps with data just like you had them before flashing another ROM.
I would recommend getting the paid version of TI backup, the one click install saves you a lot of time.

TI Backup can backup all your app+system data, so that if/when you install a new ROM you can restore your apps and any data you want to. CWM is good for essentially saving an entire ROM, but it can't help with restoring apps+data onto a new ROM.

ARHD
Android Revolution is getting an update today, you may want to check that out.

Thank you everyone for the responses. I'm going to do some more research and maybe switch rom's over the weekend.

OVER THE WEEKEND?!
your missing out.
J/K, get it done when you have time to read the guides, you'll have a better outcome.

You really can't go wrong around here. So many great devs. As long as you're careful you can try out all of their releases. Right now I'm on InsertCoin 2.2.2 on the stock kernel and it's perfect.
It's probably not needed right now, but you might end up picking up Root Explorer someday for the occasional dev-recommended file edit.

And this is why I need to research... I'm still learning so this is all so new to me.

so many questions....
ok so i think i finally found the rom.... eaglesblood. i mean come on with a name like that it has to be pretty amazing.... and it seems to have good feedback. my other questions are what are radios? and i see a bunch of other "mods" should i just take my time and add everything? also i use my phone for gps so that is important to me is there anything i can do to garantee that it works?
sorry for all the questions i just wanna make sure i dont lose any functionality

Need help

You only need the first page - the rest is just random posts.
Google 'flash a custom ROM on Android' to get more info on the actual flashing procedure but I wouldn't do ANYTHING until you understand what it is you're doing

If you need to ask if you need to flash a certain rom then the answer is NO, you do not need to flash.
There's a learning curve on how to do it, and do it correctly, learning how to go back to stock, and also upkeep of the rom (flashing everytime it's updated)
What's wrong with your phone right now that you want to put a ROM?
Don't feel like you need to put a ROM just because other people are doing it.

Your rooted and S-off already right?

I flashed my tmobile to revolution hd the first day I got it. This site is really helpful with all its guides. I did the whole thing in less then 24 hours and before this phone I knew next to nothing about android an s-off etc. If you read the guides properly I dont think its possible for you to screw up.
P.S I use mine in Canada with mobilicity, but I am guessing u r with tmobile.

Have to ask, but why did you root your phone? Did you actually have a reason to or did you do cause everyone else did and it 'looked cool'?
I'm not having a go but rooting actually isn't needed. The Sensation out the box is a great handset. The ONLY reason I did was to remove the bloat I don't use (including most of HTC's widgets). If HTC were to release a phone that allowed this without root I'd have no reason to - even if I could

Im not going to lie but i did it cause everyone else was doing it and seemed like the thing to do... Since doing that I have actually learned a lot... Its the greatest thing when you can take a phone and COMPLETELY make it your own from the rom that you have on there to the splash screen and the boot and down animation... Knowing its there because thats what YOU want there not what HTC or your carrier wants there is the greatest gift... Its YOURS.

See, there you go. Not a good example for a 'should I root' question
Fair enough, you've learnt now but you'd look like a bit of a tit if you'd bricked your phone without knowing how to reverse it.
Word to the OP - READ EVERYTHING
Do not attempt to do anything until you know what you're doing. OK, there are some things you can only learn having done a few things but for the most part build up your confidence by understanding everything the guide(s) tell you

I agree with mr. burglar I did it because of all the modification options. I just like things different. If I could change the rom in my toaster I would.

Well I have had a fair amount of experience jailbreaking iphones... I know that its nothing like rooting a droid... I did not root blindly either... I came about doing myself cause I did some research I saw that the evo was being rooted and they said it was the same for the Sensation... I found a really great detailed video in two parts on you tube of how to do this step by step so there was going to be no error... Not only that there are lots of people on craigslist i could have paid to root... I took the chance... well no some a chance but I was certain that I would have no problems with doing this it was a 15 minute or so journey that came out just fine

I wanted to try flashing my Rom because I have read that after flashing with android revolution made their phone faster and battery last longer.

well cant argue against trimming the extra fat which is kinda slowing down the phone. Nothing like a lean mean calling machine.

Without root, you can't get rid of Sense. CM7 is so fast! Add a Faux kernel and see everyone else including the SGSII in the rearview mirror.

This was the video that i used to root my HTC Sensation... The video is for the Evo 3d but it also works for Sensation too... Watch first and decide wether or not you want to proceed
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sw_mgVHWYo&feature=related

i rooted my phone just to get rid of the bloatware. i like play around with the stock rom first than move on to a custom rom.
if you are serious about rooting i sugest you read the guide several times before you continue. if you have any questions there are many here that will help you. i also like to add that it would be a good idea to check what rom you are using now and download the .ruu for it and keep it in a safe place. i have seen several questions here of someone trying to return their phone back to stock for warranty, exchange, or what ever reason they want to return back to stock but they dont know what rom they had before flashing. so download this ruu first before trying to flash a different rom. it will save you the hastle.

Quick Question! First to answer gets a free Pie!

Ok I know I have another thread but its used up, been abused, and I don't know how to delete it...so Mods, Do what you will with that old thread, slap it around like the naughty (of age) girl that it is, I have moved on to bigger and better things.
Anyways, now that we can move forward...
QUESTION TIME!!! The time where the average user can shine like a knight, riding through the mist of a dark and mysterious woods, to save us average folk whom know little of the world of flashing but are trying their best.
*cough*
OK! Here it is...
I flashed my Desire S to STOCK and MARKET and YOUTUBE were not functional...force closing, calling me names, I enjoyed it but wanted my Market and Youtube to work so I performed the RESET FACTORY DATA TECHNIQUE!!!
After that all was well, but BUT here lies the question's (Ha! tricked you! there are TWO questions!!!)
1. It deleted "Clock mod thingy"...do I need it to flash another rom? and where can I get this delicious slice?
2. If I needed the Europe Stock Rom (I'm in Canada but my Desire S is from Europe...love at first swipe) can I use ANY rom on this forum? Or does it have to be specific to my Desire S with a sexy accent?
On a side note I retained the "Super User" app after I factory reset my device...is that good?
Anyways answer away, and I will hand out a delicious PIE (Do what you will with it, eat it or...?)
hehehe

Ok installed "ClockworkMod" and selected Desire S and...I am thinking I didn't even need it right, if I choose to flash from the recovery menu of the phone. I will leave it on just incase.
I hope someone answers the above original questions soon, the pie is getting all cold and eaten... *nom nom*

I would say you do need a custom recovery, ie CWM but would recommend 4ext set my signature. As you'll need this to take backups.
you've not said but I'm guessing you're s-off? So any custom ROM should be fine. Look in the INDEX thread in development for options
It's very good that you still have su as you should still be rooted.
It would help to provide ROM versions and hboot screen within posts

Hi.
Love the humour in your post. Don't get me wrong... but it's a bit distracting from the actual matter at hand and information is still lacking.
Would've helped if you'd mentioned a few things:
1. Is your phone branded? (I'm guessing not, since you're using a European handset in Canada)
2. What Hboot version do you have, the old or the new one?
3. How did you get S-off? (XTC-Clip or Revolutionary)
4. Is your root access intact? (Try installing Titanium backup and see what it says regarding root access and busybox... )
5. Is it imperative you have a stock ROM? It's no issue using inter-region ROMs nowadays and restrictions are negligible. If you can, i suggest you either flash Hyperion or Endymion ROM to set up the phone once... then you can go flash whatever the hell you fancy once you have a nandroid backup on atleast one of them.
If you are non-branded, s-off with root access and on the old hboot and willing to try out a little fooling around..., follow the undermentioned steps :
1. Install 4EXT Recovery. (Link in my Sig)
The clock mod "thingy" is good but 4EXT is waaay better! You can do this by flashing a 4EXT Recovery zip while in recovery, or via adb or via the free app 4EXT Recovery Updater or the paid app 4EXT Recovery Control (It's like ROM Manager, only much better)
2. Take a nandroid backup using the Recovery control app or from within the recovery. (Its in the backup / restore option)
3. Download and transfer a custom ROM to the root of your sd card. (If you want a custom sense 3.5 ROM, link is in my sig - It's Endymion. Just install v2.0 right now. No need to migrate to v2.1 just yet. Lets set up the ROM first)
4. While in Recovery, do a factory reset/ wipe data for system, cache and dalvik... Better yet to go ahead into the "wipe / format" sub menu and use the option "formal all partitions (except sd card)"
5. Now choose the option : "install from sdcard" and choose the ROM zip file which you had put on the root of your sd card.
6. Once its flashed, reboot... and let us know what happened.

OK thanks guys I will try this stuff once I get off work. It is s off for sure, and I was able to install titanium. Once this 12 hour shift is done I will be back with screen shots of all my info, thanks guys (typing From my phone...maybe I should get the xda app)

So yeah...I mean if there are no apps I care to save, do I really need to back up anything?
Can't I just flash any rom from this forum but using volume down+power/Recovery to flash the roms and be done with it? Thats how I got this working on stock (It was running saga3d or something by proxiuser or something...Sorry I dont have much experience with this but am trying to explain things. I got the phone USED and already Unlocked and Rooted)
So do I need to do any back up's if I dont care about apps? My contacts are on my sim card so I am cool there.

Oh and sorry for the double post but...
I would like a suggestion for a rom. I am looking for the most graphical intensive, beautiful rom I can possibly find to make my iphone 4 using wife jelly of Android : )

Ok! Trying the "Miui" rom...it looks pretty...lets see if I can do it without bricking my phone and then having to find some creative way to off myself.

Congratulations. Happy to help.
Btw as far as roms go... There is nothing better than Endymion for the desire s. Link is in my signature.
Just take a nandroid backup of the miui you are using and try Endymion. You can always restore it if you do not like Endymion... (extremely unlikely)
P.S. : Where's my pie???

You will not regret Endymion. My personal assurance on that.
And if you like more eye candy... then liamstears theme v1.8 is a wonderful addon.
I'm tweaking it a little bit to fix the beats audio bug there... and testing it on my device. lemme know if you want a go at it and i'll upload it for you...

You need to flash the theme via recovery. You can download it from the addon thread... There's a new version out... V1.9 so flash that instead of v1.8...
Just do a search for liamstears theme on dhd forum and look for liamstears rcmix3d runny theme animation
I'm at work so can't send the link right now . Will post it after I get back home.
Remember to take a nandroid backup before flashing...!

[Q] Help on rooting Inspire4g

Hi all,
I am new to this community and new to smartphone.Very recently i got Inspire 4g with android version 2.3.3.I am very much interested in updating it to ICS.But from internet sources i have heard that HTC will most probably not give updates to Inspire 4g.So,the only option left to me is rooting.So,can someone kindly suggest me actually how to root my android device to ICS from scratch.I know nothing regarding rooting except that rooting gives administrator privileges.
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks in advance!!

First, you don't root to ics. Second, try actually looking in the development section

Inspire will NOT get an ICS rom officially. You can only run roms after rooting. HTC is not releasing an ics update for our phones, the desirehd will get one but you can only take advantage of that if you are rooted. and as mentioned please do a bit more searching, as all of your questions have been asked many times.

Another thing to keep in mind before flashing/installing an ICS rom, there is not a single ICS rom that is fully functional at the moment. With most of the ICS roms besides small bugs here and there (that is if they still have any) either the camera or videocamara or both do not work and will not work until the dhd gets the update. Most of the roms in the dhd forum will work with the inspire.
As i ha already been mentioned, read and rea some more. You'll find a lot of nice "toys" to play with.

Just like the 2 members said ics has some bugs I used it from some other devs and from having a good cam and video to work was important to me and yes you can use 3 rd party but was not all that good.
Also understand the importance of backups this is some info I posted else where but its nothing special may help or so...
No need to say sorry lol...your ok just hate so the new ones get cyber yelled at by some mod and close your thread and not getting your answer.
But even though it maybe not be for the rom that your running but also check out the Q&As of those Roms.
And also I know the htc inspire thread for ROMs is always on top of the game here but just letting you know as well Desire HD forums is I would say you should go for the most recent ROMs and updates etc.. And yes Desire HD can be used for the Htc Inspire so thats where Im at for the most part..
But if you ever get a boot loop form a rom you flash make sure you fully wipe (sorry just funny every time.you will see what I mean) from rom to rom unless other wise...If you still happen to have the PD98IMG file still on your sd card happens when you 1st root and for get that its there delete I use Es File Explorer to find whats on the sd card there are others astro file manager. Also This happen to me once when I flash scripts,gps fix, kernels then the rom that I was going to use and it just totally F'd my phone or re boots random or just gets stuck on the htc screen..
But I had made this post for another user (new) maybe this may help:
So this is an idea of what I do when I flash a rom and some other ideas/tips.
Getting Started or Flashing A Rom:
Once you root your phone (this is not in any order really) you should get ROM Manager aka Clock Work Mod. Once you get that, open the CWM and the first top half you will see flash clockworkmod recovery make sure your on wifi I would at least for the updates. You will see a dialog box click desire hd. This will allow you to make back ups of your settings that you made when you flash a rom its always a good idea to make your backups its a life save!! So, once you made your back up and this is what I do.. I plug in my phone to the pc switch to disk mode which will let you see whats on your sd card. Since you flash the CWM and recovery you will see on your sd card a folder called clockworkmod open then backups folder you will see you back that you made, drag and drop that backup file that you made to your fold that you made on pc to save it for later. And thats pretty much how I save my backups of roms etc.. Now if you need to load that back up just plug phone in disk mode cwm fold>backup drag and drop back up that you need. And boot into recovery mode and select back up and restore and select restore and the file boot and your good..
I would download which Rom I would like to use. Save it to pc to a folder that I have made that I store all my roms, backups,radios & rils, kernels..etc.. just to keep myself organized. Once you get your rom just drag and drop it to the ROOT of the sd card do NOT add it in any folder thats on the sd card. Once you have it on the card just boot into recovery flash your rom.. Other then that its easy to flash the rom.. And when you get all your settings set up make a back up and when done save it to the pc and delete it from the sd card if you dont want to keep on the card I do that..
When it comes to battery life it depends on what the rom.. But I like to use killers http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ht=killersolth scripts for the kernels.. For me I always flash a different kernel upon flashing a new rom. For me having the kernel and killers script is the best combo for me to have for performance and battery life.. now since I have inspire I use the uv lites scripts.
For the most part flashing radios & Rils you would never really need to do that so I wouldnt recommend it for now maybe later but read about it its good to know what it does..
Other sides which I for got to add.. When you flash a new rom its always good to wipe user data.,cache, delvik it makes it for a good clean install with other roms..
Also the desire HD thread which the inspire can use the roms from that thread to.
Well I hope this helps you in any way.. if you need help PM me best of luck

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1450962
and a stock ROM from here http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-inspire-4g-att/software-updates
So,i have a doubt now.In case if i screw up something while rooting can i go to stock(right now i have 2.3.3) and which is the better ICS ROM available for Inspire 4g for a starter like me without any bugs.
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks in advance!!

Well once you root your phone its rooted just can't add a stock Rom to it to make it stock. There is thread in the inspire forum called returning to stock or something like that like as in stock out of the box the members name is genepool I think I had to use that to unroot ny friends phone it was very easy ... So keep in mind that you need to unroot to go back to out of the box stock Rom.
As you may know as my other post always make a recovery of what you have on your phone just in case.
Sandy I also messaged you about your ?s to the ICS roms

Take a look at that link for factory settings
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208507

your best bet (imo) would be to check out the ace hack root kit...and read that thing repeatedly...that's what I used to root mine...as for roms go...every ics rom as stated before has some sort of bugs or errors...you will just have to try some that you like the best.....keep in mind to ALWAYS backup...backup...and backup again to be sure in case you jack something up...this site has TONS of info if you search for it..lol

Thanks all for your replies.
So,should i wait till desire hd gets a stable rom or what?
Another thing to keep in mind before flashing/installing an ICS rom, there is not a single ICS rom that is fully functional at the moment. With most of the ICS roms besides small bugs here and there (that is if they still have any) either the camera or videocamara or both do not work and will not work until the dhd gets the update

There are a few good ics roms, but none will be rock solid until its released officially to the DHD. Then we can have some goodness here on the inspire. The few that are out there are solid enough for now.
Welcome to xda, big rule is to learn to search. That question could have been answered very quickly by searching. I won't give you the names of the Ics roms out currently for that same reason. Search and ye shall find.

It's not the problem with searching but confusion as i am very new to smartphone,infact it's my first smartphone.Most of the guys in this forum own like above more than 2-3 smartphones.so,there won't be a issue fixing things and knowing things.
That's why i constantly ask doubts and ask for senior suggestions like you people,hope you don't mind and keep giving me your valuable suggestions as always you do.
Thanks.

My friend so will all the replies and input I would say find what rom you like or seems very popular so if you need anything you know that thread is "alive", root your phone, backup, and flash the rom that you pick out. Once you do that go through all the set up.. and take that backup and save it to your pc(thats what I do) not to throw you off track here but there is kernels that will help out battery life like I stated in one of post. I would also look into kernels, which kernels are very easy to flash and scripts to match with the kernel but I think your ready

I have been watching this video to unroot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0eMcpoTPMU in case if i screw up something.I have a doubt with what the guy is doing.In that he downloads the Froyo Stock rom from internet.But,my doubt is what if we alreay have the file with us,how can we flash it.I have downloaded the stock rom(Gb) from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208507&highlight=inspire+s-on.
So,how to flash the above file?
Thanks in advance!!

Ok, if you want to revert to stock and S-ON use Gene´s Method. Put the file (named PD98IMG.zip) in the root of the sdcard and the boot in hboot.
Never flash a froyo RUU if your phone is running GB. You will mess the bootloader. DON´T USE YOUTUBE TUTORIALS, just do the homework and read.
Have in mind that if you mess your phone no one but you will care. You can also use the last version of the Hack Kit to revert to stock and S-ON....

Thanks for the reply,Yes,i downloaded the gb stock as i was shipped with it.
My phone is an unlocked one.Will i have any problem while rooting,please advice as I am thinking that the stage is set for me to root my device and flash an ICS rom.
Thanks in advance!!

Your phone is an unlocked one? Where did you buy it from?
This is quickly turning into a "please hold my hand while I root" thread....

(roms)

Hello guys. Hey so I'm from the Samsung phone side of flashing and am not new to this. But i do have one question . What rom can I use and still be able to go back to stock? Im thinking that if I stay away from the 1.8 ruu stuff I'll be ok? And if I do how do we return to 100% stock . Thanks ahead of time for your insight and help

No one can answer

you need to root using the root method, then install a rom that is based on 1.72 whatever. If you want to go back stock, use the 1.72 ruu.

But if I try the newer 8 series then I'm stuck on that

Yes, you're stuck, until bootloader is unlocked.

any roms available
Hi,
I Have an Rogers HTC One x
Evita 1.73 ......
Bootloader Unlocked
Rooted and CWM install
I just followed JSLEnterprises method to debrand ...
now I have a clean HTC Vanilla XL .. as they say
Looking to try new Roms, are their any available that or compatible with my device, or I should I just patiently wait for flashable

why dont you visit the dev section and see for yourself?
didnt think CWM was working at all at the moment

Wow man chill i did and I just wanted clarification. And I never said I used cwm just talking about the ruu roms we have . Why is everyone so quick to flame and jump , some people like to be sure that's the case so they don't get in hole they cant get out of. Thanks for your concern but that's what forums are for to help each other

One of the devs just figured out how to downgrade

Well for one thing, don't use the 1.85 RUU that just got leaked today until root is regained for it. I'm running 1.82, though I'm hard pressed to find any improvement since I didn't have any problems beforehand (like the WiFi problems people were having on 1.73). Maybe a bit smoother? Idk.

That's my dilemma my phone runs great it has its moments but all in all good. But I like to tinker and its hard not to . I'm looking for some good reasons to and against . Any feedback is great thank you

I mean, some things might go wonky if you don't do a factory reset before and after flashing the 1.83 RUU and tried to root. I know that two people (one of them being me) lost our lock screen rings after running the root script for 1.83. Re-RUUing with wipes fixed everything.
Otherwise you really have nothing to lose by doing this besides maybe your warranty and whatever time you have to spend setting up your phone again (TiBu is a godsend)

I have paid for many apps.to save me time in the whole dev side. I have also.made a few eons for Samsung.infuse but never let them out because people are.crazy. I'm used to Samsung and all new to HTC

Sorry for bothering you !!!!
