Question about root.

Hey sorry if this is in the wrong section but i couldn't decide what section would be most appropriate. I am new to rooting and have only had my rooted G1 for about 2 months. I am looking to get a new android phone and I would like to know what T-mobile or ATT (if it can be unlocked for use on T-mobile) android phone has alot of roms to flash like the G1 (I love being able to change the feeling of my phone every few days) and with better hardware than the G1.
I was thinking of waiting for the MyTouch Slide but not sure if it would be worth the wait.

The Nexus One has a great ROM community and in my opinion the best ROMs out there. I use Cyanogen's ROM as my primary ROM.
As well as a great ROM community, the Nexus One can be purchased unlocked from the factory for use on T-Mobile or AT&T 3G.

[Q] Slightly OT, which cellphone do you use?

So I chose the G Tablet in large part due to the community. My Verizon phone contract is about to end in 2 months and I'm looking at an Android phone (of course). Looking for tethering most importantly for my gtab but I guess I might find that Verizon has locked down the devices too much. I'm open to custom ROMs assuming they are as polished as the ones we have here. Anyone have suggestions?

I've got an EVO and have been quite happy with it. Large modding community, multiple good and polished roms with very active devs, both AOSP and Sense. WifiTether comes with most of the custom ROMS and is free, and speeds are actually pretty good if you happen to be in a 4G area. Phone is good, though battery life is a bit poor (but then again, most Android phones are that way).
All in all I'm pretty pleased with it, though there are plenty of good options out there.

Thanks, I'll have to look into as many as I can. I have a Blackberry now and have done diddly squat for customization of it. Originally planned to flex my development skills a bit but just never got around to it.

Sprint HTC Hero rooted w/ Froyo.

Lg Optimus S (Rooted w/ froyo)

Nexus One on AT&T.
Have been tethering my gtablet since the day I took it home.

Att Samsung captivate great phone except for lousy GPS Samsung should stick to tvs... rooted 2.2

I'm Tethering using Samsung Fascinate. Sucks cuz of no 2.2, still 2.1. In 2 Months many Good Phones will be out So you could try those but Ive had This phone and Droid Incredible for Verizon and both tether fine. Just need Root.

Im using the good ol Droid Eris that is rooted.

I'm Rocking a Droid (Original) with Cyanogen as of now... a few weeks ago it was another flavor.. I love the android phone dev. scene.. Changing Mods is like changing socks.. ;-)
Looking forward to the HTC Thunderbolt Upgrade in FEB

Stuck on the Moment with 2.1. Rooted, customized kernel with Froyo-like JIT enhancements, wifi tethering, and other good stuff. It's reasonable, but so far, no one has made much progress with getting true 2.2 working on it. They released the source for two phones (Acclaim and Intercept) that are very similar to the Moment, but the only community that develops for the phone (SDX) hasn't gotten anything working. It's beyond my skill level, sadly, or I'd try my hand at it.
I'm able to change my phone in April, so I'll probably see what options are available then or coming shortly thereafter.

The droid 2 is a nice phone when it is rooted and you can use it as a mobile hotspot for free if it is rooted, although the droid bionic looks very promissing when it comes out and it has the same tegra 2 processor as the gtablet but it an actually fit in a pocket.

Nexus One running stock 2.2 on t-Mobile with the famous grandfathered 6.99 data plan. Tethering works great. But I've been having issues with the power button not working, so I might finally root it when the warranty runs out so I can assign the power button to the trackball or something.

+1 It was simple to tether a connection between the two (2) devices and it works well.

Google Nexus One on Bell Mobility (i'm a canuckia resident), modded as per my sig. Bestest phone I ever had. I'm planning on getting a Tegra2-based or a Nexus S as soon as those hit Vidéotron in Quebec though.

[Q] HTC HD2?

I know it is almost sacriligious (?) but I have an opportunity to buy one of there unlocked and was wondering if anyone here has had one that can compare it to the inspire. Since it is unlocked I think it will work on ATT? Any help or opinions would be appreciated.....

It'll work for voice, but you may not be able to get 3G data depending on which model HD2 it is. You'll need a T9193 (the Australian model) not the T8585 (I think) made for Tmobile.

True that. The oz version will work on 1 of the att channels so depending on what you have in your area it could be a very good experience for you, or just very expensive.
Also, it isn't anywhere near as fast as the Inspire- which can be had for free if you want 2 more years of AT&T.
Sent from my CM7 Inspire 4G with that special XDA app.

I appreciate the input. In my business I just cannot be without so if I continue to play with the phones I feel more comfortable with a spare I can just switch the sim card and be back online.
I had two Captivates that I sold to get something else. I am very happy with the inspire but you know how that goes, something better? Something newer?

I have an HD2. I love it. It's the best phone I ever had for customizing. It has much the same specs as the Inspire except for the camera and data radio. Oh...and the LCD isn't the "Super" version of the Inspire, but I find it quite excellent, nonetheless.
I'm currently using the cmylxgo Stock DesireHD ROM on it, which is essentially the same ROM on the Inspire. The Inspire is faster, smoother and cleaner, but the HD2 version isn't a slouch. It works amazingly well. But the glory of the HD2 is being able t use a whole host of custom ROMs on it. I'm actually using two android ROMs on my HD2. One is flashed to internal memory (NAND) and the other, a Nexus S CyanogenMOD by AmeriCanAndroid, is on the SD card. Both of these are excellent.
Some people use WindowsPhone 7 on the HD2 also. But be assured, you wouldn't have any boredom with an HD2.

will nexus s 4g port work?

i'm more of a newb with samsung phones, first one. coming from long history with htc where flashing roms was much different and i guess easier/more up to date. but with the nexus s 4g releasing today, is it a pretty easy port to get 2.3 on GS4G? i know there is a lot going on with CWM and have used it on mytouch 4g, hd2, and viewsonic g tablet. yet like you are all frustrated with no gingerbread on samsung, wondering if its because of samsung touchwhiz or more hardware causing trouble with ports and roms?

Roms for HTC Evo Design 4g

Hi,
I'm new to phone rooting, but I used a guide on this website to root my Boost Mobile HTC EVO Design 4g (not currently active on any carrier, so I'm not too worried about messing up carrier-related stuff). Anyway, I would like to Install a custom rom on it since I'm not a fan of HTC Sense 3.6. My Rom of choice would be PAC Rom, but I would settle for CyanogenMod, or anything else that's pretty good that any of you would recommend. Anyway, I've found these roms for HTC Evo, but not the Evo Design. Will a rom for the evo work on the Evo Design? I've also heard that the Hero S has the same support for roms as the evo design, but I'm not sure how much easier it will be to find roms for that. Basically, my question is, How can I get PAC Rom or CyanogenMod for the HTC Evo Design 4g?
Any/All help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I hope This phone gets a lot more attention in the near future due to being the launch phone for Freedom Pop's FREE phone service.

Unfortunately, there is not much support for this phone. I have found support here for it : androidforums.com/evo-design-all-things-root. However, there seems to be one active dev and it is stuck on 4.0.3. Having said that, the ROMs there do work on this phone. The phone is already rooted with CWM 5 already on it. The Messaging app uses a custom version of CSIPSimple and is downloadable in the Play Store. I am currently on the ForgottenKingdom ROM (Kingdom is the phone's codename).
