Will the G2 get rooted? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
Do you think we'll ever see the G2 to ever be anything like the G1, with roms and everything everywhere, wide variety etc?
Regards.

I do, but do we need any more of these Threads?

Thread title led me to believe that the G2 had been rooted.

Sorry, how do I request a mod to edit this thread/remove it? I'm just eagar as we all are Any new news would be great. an eta although probably not possible would be awesome

also thought we had perma root because of thread title. please to be deleting.

Ok after browsing all these ROMS and basically starting to get a headache lol, can anyone recommend a rom thats stock froyo (or close to as I use the football app and the nascar app etc) that also allows me to tether wifi. Ive probably looked at over 7 roms maybe more and they all seem custom in some way shape or form which im not interested in. I did look at the stock rooted 2.2 but I dont think it suits my needs, unless theres something im missing about tethering

Once you are rooted, the wireless tether application for root users will work on every rom. You can use any stock rom of your liking and then add the wireless tether app from the market and you will be all set.
Wow! Seriously?! Why in dev section?! I'm sorry to be rude but I'm getting tired of ppl always posting non-developing stuff on the DEVELOPMENT section. I almost never comment but I'm tired of this.
Please, next time post it on the Q&A section.
Thanks.
Edit: I'll be glad to help if mods move it to Q&A.
Stock froyo like sense 2.2 rooted? There's that option, if you mean like stock android froyo ala 2.2 there is CM6

OP,
I understand your headaches since I am basically wanting the same thing. But after a little looking around, think that the ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743352 is what you are looking for. They use to have a thread on just ROMs, how they have been modified, etc.
Also krazyconejo, maybe this is a way for a developer to help out a user? I know that the developers love to have their ROMs used, or at least some input instead of jumping on a guy, maybe you should strongly suggest for future education. Sometimes it is better to coach a fellow member than hit him over the nose with a rolled up news paper (figuritively speaking) - without being disrespectful to you.
Krazy..ive spent the past few hours searching and reading this section of the forums, so excuse me for posting here and upsetting you lol. Since this is a question about ROMS specifically and this section has them all listed, I felt it would be better answered here, then in a general Q&A section. I tend to value the replies I get in a specific forum topic more then a general one
like I said before I usually don't say anything and just ignore it. But if I come to the developing section, I expect to see that and not waste my time with this.
As for OP sorry for being mean but if you would had posted this in the right place, I'm petty sure someone would had helped.
*Not gonna respond anymore. OP if you still help pm me and let's just let this thread die.
Thanks.
if you want the football and nascar app...just flash any rom and install those apks.

Sorry, I didn't get past this part. I'm still too busy reeling from the discovery that someone actually uses those two apps to recommend that you use DamageControl 3.5 or something based from it.

This may be true however it is still the wrong place to post this. questions go in questions forum or in the thread of a specific rom/kernal if they pertain to it. since this is a general questions about roms and doesnt fit into a specific rom thread it belongs in the Q&A forum. Most of the people who will give you a true answer from dev also frequently go to the QA section. also yuo will get flamed less and not have to wade through as many posts telling you that you posted wrong.
To answer your question. You can use wifi tether with stock rooted froyo or almost any custom rom. you can still use football/nascar you can try Damage control 3.5 which will let you easily select what you want to have or not of the sprint apps and have the rest removed. you can also use roms like fresh Evio and baked snacks and install the .spk for those 2 apps.
Thread moved to Q&A.
Baked snack then install nascar and football apk. If you need them im sure they are floating around here somewhere if not pm me.
You could also try fresh. He puts all the apks he removes in a folder on your sdcard.

lol thanks for all the info...Kinda new to the whole rooting thing and with all the roms flying around and the 100+ pages for each its alot to read over but I tried as much as I could
And yes I am a nascar fan and a football fan..And since Verizon has the good app lol..I use what I got!!!
You could also probably find those .apks by browsing for a folder of the Fresh Removed .apks folder that comes with the Fresh ROM, or just find some Fresh user to upload them for you.

[Q] Rom Questions?

OK, OK before anyone starts flaming me and saying read honestly it's too much to read I work and have a family and cant read 1,000 post threads to get my answer.
Now that we've gotten that out of the way let's start with what i'm looking for.
I want a rom that has mostly all the stock things like sprint nav, sprint zone, gtalk, sprint football, flashlight, fm radio etc...... Most of the stock goodies or at least an option to install what i want to install from the stock apps.
Also I want a functioning 4g, 3g and possibly a free hotspot app if not no big deal. I dont want a rom where major things (or mostly anything) is broken.
Now hears the hard part which would prob bring the flame, and please be gentle guys for example virus rom looks like it has some goodies, mikfroyo, and one i really like is myn's warm two point two.
With that said i need to have my phone work not halfway working but fully working web, calls, etc.......
Is it possible to have the best of both worlds with these roms fully functionality with the beautiful customization or is it impossible.
I want opinions or experiences or suggestions and please if your not gonna help my cause you dont have to post.
Thanks in advance to all who help in any way they can
I don't know what your idea of halfway working is, because pretty much all sense roms (besides Desire HD and Desire Z) here have everything working... Myn's is no exception. If you like the way his rom looks, use it. The only roms with outstanding issues (4g and hdmi) are aosp based roms (Cyanogenmod, MIUI, LiquidE). Hope this helps.
FYI, there is a Q&A (questions and answers) section, where this post would belong
semi new
I'm semi new to the android seen but I have used all of the following:
Myn's TwoPointTow
MIUI
Synergy
Virus AirBourne
CM6
Ava-FroyoV9
Frost
Fresh
Out of all of them my personal favorite is Ava-FroyoV9. It does everything I want with no problems what so ever and has a nice look to it also.
Again, just my opinion.
Using virus anthrax and its my favorite so far . Miui looked cool but buggy. And know 4 g. Avav9 was also great myn as well.Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
You don't have to read a 1000 pages to get this info..
the Dev's have all the info your looking for in the first post of their rom threads.
They say wether or not something works or not.. and if it has the stock apps your looking for.. and MOST of them give you the .APKs to install the stock apps after if you want them on you SD card after install..
Simple as that..
Simple rules of thumb:
if its a Sense based rom, everything works.. (Desire based sense roms excluded)
if its a ASOP based rom, no HDMI or 4G yet.
and Almost all of them have the wifi-tether program install by default for hotspot. If not its EASILY installable..
and to avoid flaming wear a fire proof suit. (q&a section, there are no stupid questions there)
Azrael best Rom if u ask me

thanks for all you guys response and i will use the q&a section for things like this for now on and Mods if you wanna move to proper section go ahead.
I personally like xxbabiboixx and virus anthrax ROM.. just a matter of style.
funny thing is i work and have kids wife and still im able to post in the correct section and search

hahaha. lol. this is hilarious. cause i have kids, wife and a job also and just like CheesyNutz i was able to find all the information i needed by putting the time in to search for what i needed to find. it also didnt take reading 1000's of post's. but that is beyod the point...... oh wait no it is the point. he knew that he was going to get flamed for not wanting to search the forum for the info he needed. instead he just went ahead and started yet another thread asking the same question asked in other threads. maybe that is why you have to read 1000's of post's.
Okay with that being said...... I personally like AZRAEL rom and the stock sprint apk's are included in a folder that is added to the sdcard when you install the rom.

[Q] Skinning the Dialer and/or Lock-Screen

Hello all... newbie here, so please don't bash me too bad. I've used a ton of your ROM's when I had my Hero, and now that I have my EVO, I'm excited to try some more. I just got mine several days ago, and until someone gets a consistent rooting method for the new build, I'm gonna wait to root it.
However, is there a way to skin the dialer or lockscreen while stock (unrooted)? I'm not a developer, so that may be a dumb question.... but, I was hoping someone had a skin that looked/acted similar to the iPhone dialer.
Anybody? Thanks in advance.

[Q] Semi-transparent Rosie?

Hey all not sure of this is the right section to be asking bout themeing but here it goes. How do I get a semi-transparent effect on the Rosie app drawer? I'm running stock HTC theme just with a skin. Any tips on how to do it, or a link if someone already has and I can't find it.
Thanks
if your phone is rooted, there's a guide or a apk somewhere in the Development section.
Ofcourse it's rooted xD first thing i did when i got it. I can't seem to find the thread you're talking about, i tried searching, and even went through all 14 pages of the dev section and can't see it. Could someone possibly provide a link?

I believe thats whats your looking for, it's easy, just google XDA [What Your Looking For] and you'll always find what you want
I did find that, but it's for the Evo, not sure if it was compatible with the DHD. Also i was going to try it (i downloaded the file and everything) but I don't know how to use MetaMorph to apply it to my rosie.

Look over the linked thread about unlocking the bootloader and rooting. Then you'll be ready to start flashing roms. :good:
