[Q] Question on using Themes and Apps... - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello my friends. Well...I have left the Windows Mobile arena and just entered the Google Android portal. I have a HTC incredible (Verizon) with Froyo 2.2 (stock).
I would like to add some themes and apps found here on XDA, but I have no idea how to 'flash' them onto my phone.
Is there a step-by-step guide for a newcomer as me?
Thank you so much.
Regards,
Surflord

There's a lot to do. First you must Root your phone (voiding your warranty) using Unrevoked: http://unrevoked.com/#inc
Then you should read up on how to use the ClockworkMod Recovery to flash ROMs and Kernels.

this is a pretty helpful thread.

HTC Hero G3 Root... HEEELLLPPPP!!!!!!!!

Ok, ok, ok.. So many of you are instantly going to jump on the new guy because this thread has probably been posted at least a million times today. Thing is, trying to find an explanation, an easy explanation, of how to root my HTC Hero G3, without using developers lingo is nigh on impossible. Would someone have mercy and please, for the sake of the Gods and my sanity.. HELP ME ROOT ME BLOODY PHONE??? Please
What do I need to download?
Can I still use the android operatin system after gaining root access or do I have to install a custom ROM?
Many many thanks in advance for any help or advice given.

Firstly its called the HTC Hero, the G2 is the T-Mobile branding not G3, why don't you go in the Hero section then the rom development sub forum, guides at the top in the wiki in plain english...
Advice appreciated man, I kinda thought I'd get someone telling me that. Thing is, I tried all three of the rooting guides up there and none of them work. Checked the USB Debugging box.. then windows searches for ADB, then my problems begin.

[Q] Custom rom's for Htc Desire HD usage votes

Hi all,
Very new to this forum and android. Last december 2010 I got a new Desire HD which I have started using now lol!!! previous phone was a nokia n96!!
This there a voting list for custom roms for the Desire HD to see which rom's are mostly installed by fellow members.
I have had my phone unlocked by t-mobile, I really want to install a custom rom, currently it has 1.72.
not sure which is the best if any rom to install. I have been looking at Android Revolution HD 6.1.5 which seems good to me.
your help and feedback on this topic would greatly be appreciate.
many thanks
install rom
having your phone unlocked won't allow you to install custom roms, your phone has to be rooted with s-off before you can install roms, there are tutorials in this forum on how to do this and what software you need ie aahk, multitool etc. also search is your friend but do read the tutorials then read them again.
[Poll] which rom do you have
Threads like this only lead to flame wars. A search would have showed you this.
Thread closed
thank you very much for your help

Need help in rooting Droid PRO

Hello All,
I am a novice to rooting and was looking up to root my Droid PRO just to remove bloatware (which is running for no use and slowing down my phone).
I am using a USA Verizon provided Droid PRO, unlocked, in India in GSM mode. It is running GB 2.3.4
Does any one have a list of things that I can confidently go through to do and achieve a root and bloatware removal?
Note: I tried doing my home work reading through many links for Droid PRO rooting, but have been seeing bricking issues.. so, thought i will try to ask some one before i start trying to follow one of those links.
Thanks in advance.
Done rooting my droid pro!

So, I was successfully able to root my Droid Pro. I wrote a detailed step-by-step instructions in my blog @ saratmarudhuri.blogspot.in/2013/02/rooting-droid-pro-gb-234-and-sys-ver.html for anyone like me who wander for instructions / tutorials on rooting the Droid pro.
Thank you

[Q] Root guide for Mac OS?

HI all, this is a very noob question.
I have tried searching the forum but either I am confused by the mixed answers or perhaps I am really really lost.
My android version is 2.3.5 (the latest official firmware for HTC desire Hd), have been trying to find a tutorial guide to root my phone so that I can use custom rom.
In the midst of my search, I read that advanced hack kit can do the job but you will need a windows-based platform?
Even so, I am seeing some conflicted comments and hence am not sure which should I take. Could someone points it out to me?
Then, unfortunately I am have mac os platform that is available to me and hence are there any guides for mac users?
Many thanks in advance!
