[Q] Easiest 4G Android to Root & Rom? - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

I know there will be varying opinions about this, I have had my droid 2 for a long time and will be upgrading to something with 4G very soon so I wanted to get some opinions on:
1)What is the easiest 4G phone out there to root.
2)What is the best 4G phone to root/rom and why? (slightly more opinionated)
Thanks in advance for your time in posting your reasons and your help in deciding.
I posted this in general as well but I think this is a better place for this discussion.

HTC Hero on Sprint

I am a little confused about asking questions concerning the HTC Hero on Sprint in part because there are so many different versions of it and also because there is nowhere to post for the phone period. My question concerns rooting the device that I plan on buying today and whether or not that is a smart move considering all the talk about updates to 2.0. If I root the device will the same firmware be available through this site or will I be stuck with 1.5? Either way there is also many guides to rooting and I am wondering if anyone has suggestions perhaps the best one? thank you for your time

[Q] Stable custom rom question.

I hope I am posting this thread in the right place.
What would be the best rom for HTC Inspire 4G?
I have been reading post after post to find some good stable roms to try.
My concerns are
Better battery life
Be able to use the current AT&T 4G network.
Some how to fix the poor low volume issues when the volume is maxed.
So if anyone can please help me by letting me know the best stable roms my phone please let me know.
Thank you

ok guy this question has been asked over and over again with many different answers. All ROMS are great you have to try them out yourself what may be good for one person another may totally hate. Take a few out for a test run flash one after full wipe and test for a week or two to see what you like and don't like out of it. A day or two is not enough to get the feel of a ROM. All are very solid for the carriers. ICS ROMs are still in a few bug issues but gingerbreads are solid.
Search and learn, Search and learn, Search and learn we all had to do it.
Welcome to XDA and enjoy the learning.
I hear a bat flying near

Every ROM on xda sucks. don't waste your time if you are worried about a lock or reboot. As said this gets asked over and over, had you searched for stable roms you would have seen the answers. Lol jk about the roms fyi

Thank you for you your response.
My other phone is a Motorola Atrix and I have CyanogenMod 7.1 on it. CyanogenMod is nice but I read in the XDA Forums that it has a problem with 4G networks on the HTC Inspire and yes I could be wrong on this.
The XDA Forums are great and a great place to ask questions and get questions answered.

New MyTouch Q by Huawei

Just got this device a few days ago and honestly its great. I really did not expect such a good device from Huawei but I am blown away by its performance for its price.. Has anyone else worked with it yet? I am trying every method I know to root the damn thing nothing seems to work
This is for the HTC Mytouch we likely will be of no help
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Glad you like it but why did you buy it? Even the amaze has more development and that's a free phone AND it has more horsepower
Well I was on the HD2 But my device died and I did not have a full upgrade till next year plus I did ask about the amaze they told me it was out of stock. Also I posted in this section as there is no section for the newest MyTouch as of yet
How much are the Huawei selling for. The Q is a 4 inch qwerty phone right? If T-Mobile markets the phone for a cheap prepaid development might pick up. Otherwise you maybe stuck with stock Rom. Likely someone will figure out a root exploit
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I think Its free with a new contract I payed 70 because of my partial upgrade its got a 4 inch screen qwerty keyboard 1.5ghz single core processor and 1gb of ram not too bad in my opinion and its a really solid device doesn't feel cheap at all like most Huawei phones,

well do something about it then...go ask the mods to make you guys one...i know i'm sounding really harsh right now but i am honestly tired and pissed off at people doing this:
"hey guys, so um, i don't have a forum for my phone, but since they're both called the "MyTouch" i guess i'll post here. how do i root this thing????"

like what the..? how are we supposed to know how to root your phone? we don't own your device..heck it's not even made by the same company!
guys (and not just OP) PLEASE STOP POSTING IN OUR FORUMS IF YOU DON'T OWN THE HTC MYTOUCH 4G... ask a mod to make your own forum for you guys...
screw you T-Mobile for naming all these other devices MyTouch...
again OP, i don't have ANYTHING against you, and you're not the only one doing this..but this is getting to far......sorry if i rub someone the wrong way...
Well then would you mind telling me what moderator to message and ill ask them right away

It's a shame you got that device lol, it would be nice to get new members that are as cool as yourself
OP, it's call HUAWEI Ascend G312 qwerty or try google Huawei Unite Q, Huawei U8730. They all the same. AKA my touch Q 2012.
It uses Qualcomm 8255.
I still love my htc mytouch 4g.

ICs for Atrix 2 ???!!! ????? when it is supposed to be cancelled ? (I've an ATRIX 4G)

Hi Everyone,
Have you seen this via the Motorola SEA facebook page ?
facebook com / MotorolaSEA
An OTA upgrade is now running for the Atrix 2G to get ICS.
I'm user of the Atrix 4G and I know that the hardware is kindly similar (except the CPU which is for the Atrix 2 and OMAP and the ATRIX 4G a NVidia) ...
Maybe can you check what can be done based on this ROM ? (I don't know if this can help but maybe you will be able to find some interesting things ...)
I can't provide you this ROM as I'm from Europe and I'm using the Atrix 4G
With Kind Regards,

Oh god..
How can be similiar if they have a completely different hardware?
The only thing that they have similiar is the name.
Please,you are on XDA,don't think to be useful if you are a noob.
Completely different hardware and this has been covered before.
Just because it has the name "Atrix" (2) doesn't mean you can get ICS out of that and throw it on the original Atrix...

Cloudus91 I don't know who you are and that's not for me the best way to answer someone by insulting people.
Your answer was correct until the moment you use the term noob.
You should take into acount that in my job i'm not a noob at all.
So ... next to the fact that the hardware is completely different, the purpose of this message was also to understand how is it possible that Motorola has announced no ICS for the Atrix 2 and in the fact there's an OTA available.
Also I'm in the general section for the Motorola Atrix where it is supposed to be a good place to ask something to everyone.
Please also note that I have maybe add my question too fast because (and I admit) I didn't check completely the product specifications of each devices. (My fault regarding that point)
If I was someone thinnking like you , I can easilly say that all persons that have briked their phone are Noob ? Stupid ? I've never breaked a phone since I'm installing rom, customization and I'm doing that since the first time a Windows Mobile phone has been out ! So I don't think I can be consider as a noob .(<--- Please be sure that I'm not considering a person who has break his phone as a noob --> it is just an example)
Conclusion:
You're probably not a Noob in your job, passion .... but in answering people I guess you're a real one.
Anyway thank you for the information.
Kind regards,

Sorry but the good place to ask something is the Q&A section...
And the atrix2 update its not canceled...so...I do t see how this post its usefull...
from the (m)ATRIX...
If you checked the ICS schedule, the Atrix 2 is still on track for an ICS release. Furthermore, the Southeast Asian update was seeded even before the updated schedule was posted online.

Man don't sweat this. There should be a sticky/video for anyone entering the Atrix 4g forums that explains the need for a really thick skin before posting anything.
I participate in more than a few XDA forums, and as far as I can tell. This one is the most passionate (read; intolerant) of them all.
Hopefully you can still find a way to enjoy the site. Not everyone feels the need to be abusive. And there's more than a few great resources here. It is worth sticking around.
Welcome and enjoy.
Yeah, people were a lot more polite most of the time in both the g1 and desire z forums. I always get a chuckle at how many people want to report an close threads on the atrix forums.
The Internet is a funny place.

So I kinda love the best of both worldsTouch wiz and jellybean. i have been running jellywiz Love the rom but i wanted to try something newer. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a rom that has quiet hours in some form and touchwiz. Besides the older build of jellywiz it would be very appreciated.
