I am rooting my 2.2 phone tonight and all I want to do is get rid of the damn 30fps cap, remove bloatware and keep everything else pretty much stock. Is it possible to load a custom kernel when using a stock rom or do I need to use a custom rom as well? I really like how sense integrates facebook into the contacts and don't want to lose that.
Also, any kernel/rom recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I have an 003 evo with a Novatek screen.

Most custom kernels work with any ROM, as long as they are for the same build! I put emphasis on this because if you use the wrong ROM/Kernel/Radio combo, you could brick your phone. So do so very carefully. Only use a kernel/radio if it is built for a specific build number.
So I need to find a kernel that is for the 3.26.651.6 build that I want to install? Do you know which kernel will work?
I've had good luck with netarchy's kernels(currently using v4.18). You can find them in the dev section. Using a stock ROM here.

i just flashed this today, so far i'm pretty impressed and liking it, especially since i'm also using Netarchy's HTC OTA froyo final build, both work perfect together so far, i've seen my fps so far bounce to 47fps, lol, sweet.
Thanks for the input guys. I used netarchy's kernel with the rooted 2.2 rom that got installed during the 2.2 root process. It works great and looks awesome, it's so smooth.
New To rooting and all
Hello Everyone;
I have a Droid X running stock ROM version 2.2 I have rooted to remove bloatware but have not done much else. I am interested in using setcpu but do not want to do so unless I can monitor CPU temp. I am wondering where to find the kernel for this, what is it called, and how do I install it step-by-step.
Sorry if this has already been answered but I have been searching for quite some time and can not seem to find the answer.
Thanks For the help.

took me a sec to realize this was a thread resurrection. i was like wtf??? heh <_< >_>
I have a rooted HTC desire, running on froyo 2.2, with custom rom, I used Unrevoked 3, I also unlocked my phone. I thought after doing all this I would get all of the Orange bloatwear off, this is very frustrating can any one help, or am I being a trifle dense?
You need a custom ROM based on either stock Sense or AOSP, there are plenty about so go take a look in the Development forum
Your poll makes no sense, btw

you say you're already using a custom rom - did you wipe before flashing?
and +1 for the poll making no sense.
Apologies for the poling this is 1st time post, I'm the oldest virgin blogger in town
Seriously, thanks for the suggestion I'll try the stock rom and post back tommorrow thanks for the help.
Hi there,
I'm a newcomer to the rooting experience and I've successfully got my Desire (Classic) running on LeeDroid's beautifully done 3.3.3 ROM with Sense 3.0 installed.
I would like to install one of the custom lock rings that are available from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134818
Despite claiming that it can work for LeeDroid ROMs I've been so far unsuccessful and that it keeps installation failed after
I've only so far been successful in installing the stock ring file from the ROMs thread itself.
Is there any way I can alter that installer with the images of these rings?
Thanks and much appreciated.

Just had a look at the thread you put down. You do realise the thread is for Desire HD and Inspire 4G, not the good old plain Desire...
I was partially suspecting that. Thanks for confirming it
Is it possible to change the lock ring for this ROM on the original Desire?
If Lee can provide a separate installer to flash the original lock ring over his LeeDroid ring, I'm sure there are ways to get custom rings into them.

Hi All!!
Sorry for my English
I already install LeeDrOiD HD V3.3.3-Port-R5, with Sense 3.0 add-ons, but I have trouble with settings of lockscreen with ring - I can't change apps on lockscreen.
The same problem described here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16578094&postcount=3228
I read almost all thread, but can't find there what is solution of this problem. Somebody can help me, or show where i can read about solution?
My G2 is rooted and I flashed Virtuous Sense 3.0 on it. It's kinda sluggish and sometimes it hangs. How can I flash the stock ROM back? Please help...
Let me ask a few questions...
What were you running previously?
Did you not do a backup prior to flashing a new ROM?
Do you want to go back to full stock, s-on, out of the box?
Thanks for the reply. It was stock, S-ON, out of the box before the OTA update to 2.3.4, then I downgraded to 2.2 to gain root, then flashed VS 2.0 first, then 3.0, and performance-wise, they're the same to me and hangs once or twice a day. My backup is now a VS 2.0. HTC Sense to me is good, but I can live without it. Just want my G2 back to stock, it was GREAT!
Search around the Dev section, if I recall there are some pre-rooted stock ROMs on there. Or you can just make the jump to CM7, maybe to CM9 (or CM9 based) ROM. I'm running Andro V13 and it runs well. As far as sense ROMs, I tried out Revolution HD for a few hours and was by far the smoothest Sense 3.5 ROM I've had.

Check out the dev section, I have a rom called g2slim. Its the newest stock ota update ripped clean with battery saving mods and speed tweaks. It has a ton of free ram at boot too, all those stupid lil apps take like 2mb ram each. I know it don't sound like a lot, but they add up!
Hello,
I know very well on iphone but completely newbie to Android stuffs
I would like to flash a vanilla rom on my HTC X and i also want to ensure I able to flash back my stock rom when I am bore with it.
Would be very much appreciate if anyone able to show some guide.
help
have you unlocked your bootloader and installed recovery?
No, it completely new as just a week old.
Everything still in stock except few apps installed.
You need to go to HTC Dev website and unlock your bootloader first. HTC one x will not be listed, so you will have to use "other supported models" Follow the instructions to unlock your bootloader. Remember, doing this will void your warranty. Once you've unlocked the bootloader, i will guide you installing recovery and help you flashing a ROM.
there are not currently any vanilla (AOSP) roms, except a themed one i believe.
I too am waiting for an AOSP rom (CM9 should be the one) however for sense based roms Android Revolution & Insert Coin One X are both very good roms by some awesome Devs
Hi mgf8384,
Thanks but temporary i will stick with stock.
I have a ROM by Jdroid Its version 2.5.4. Its about as Vanilla as you can get. Its pretty much like stock Ice Cream Sammich thats on the Galaxy Nexus. Much better than Sense. Hopefully this will help.
Cm9 is out for hox and its pretty good its all vanilla no sense at all ) only wifi tethering doesn't work.. do you want me to give you full instructions how to get there from stock and have a back up of stock too ?
