I would suggest personalizing your phone to do what you need it to do and not based on what other peoples preferences. Need an app the does something? Find it and get it. Need a calendar widget? Put it up on your home screen. Pretty simple.
If you have anything specific in mind, I am sure the community will be glad to help.

I'm sure you could have come up with something a little more intelligent\thoughtful\useful as your first post to the site if only you'd tried a little harder... ;-)
Smiffy.
Hi, Im sorry but I did really search before posted this question. It is because there are many threads and become scattered n chaotic...
Therefore I need to ask and expect information is post under my thread...
THere are too many articles of upgrade and some are old tech or SPL..but it is just as simply as just
SPLv.7
rom
Therefore, I wish you can understand my point and also thanks for the guys to be patient to non-techy users like me

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] Im New to this where to start and what to do?

Hi People,
I have only just found out that you can change the ROM's and all sorts of thing with My HTC Desire.
I have had my phone for 2 weeks, I'm on Virgin Mobile and don't have a clue.
I was talking to a guy at work who has one and he told me about you guys.
I have had a look around but can't see anything for the noob...lol (ME!!!).
I was wondering is anyone could give me some advice on where to start, What to look out for and any general advice on what to do and what not to do?
Any Help would be much appreciated.
Many Thanks

First thing is to ask yourself why you want to change the ROM on the unit. Are you running out of space or are you just the type who likes to have more control?
I didn't root for months as the phon, out the box, does exactly what I want it to do. The only reason I've rooted now is to run the HD ROM but otherwise I'd stay stock.
You're going to get people reply with 'root it now, don't ever think of going stock, bla bla bla' but it's an individual thing, as is the choice of ROM. Read up on the stickied threads in the various forums and use the search button a LOT!

Welcome Mark.
EddyOS has provided you some excellent advice - don't rush into anything.
Mostly people do this as a kind of 'hobby' (including me) and you can end up with some cool stuff on your phone that HTC never intended you to have or have much later on. On the flip side, you can also wreck your phone too through doing the wrong thing or just plain bad luck. HTC can be a bit difficult in fixing stuff under warranty if you've been mucking about with your device, so be warned.
Everything you need to know about rooting and flashing (conjures up interesting images doesn't it?) is contained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189
So read up, lurk about a bit in the forums and if you think you need to - have a go.
Good luck!
Thanks Guys Some sound advice there i will look around before i do a thing.
Many Thanks
First thing I would do, though, is check the ROM currently running on your Desire and get the RUU* file in case you ever need to go back to stock after rooting. To check, go to Settings>About phone>Software information and make a note of the software version.
You can then go to this site and see if the version you're on at present is available. If it is, download it:

[Q] HTC Desire Rooted?!

Hey
I have just got my HTC Desire rooted and don't have a clue how to use it, so anyone wanna give me pointers or tell me how to customize or do as much as i can with this rooted HTC Desire, i have a rom installed on it called Lee Droid, but i was hoping to find out if i can add any other roms or do other things with it, someone please help me?!! lol
anyways thanks for reading this and i hope one of use helps me
Gratz on getting it rooted!
I guess the first thing you can do is theme it with the theme kitchen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775970
Just be careful about what you select. Or else you will cause yourself a bootloop.
Just to be safe do a nandroid backup and have a rom named update.zip ready to be flashed in the RUU if anything goes wrong.
Moved to Q&A as you may get more help here than in the Themes forum.
If this doesn't work out for you, PM me and I'll move it back
To be honest if you don't know what rooting is then you probably don't need it - always best to read up on it all before doing it!!

so you have LeeDroid, good, now, download Espresso's theme, which specifically is made for LeeDroid
find bundles and bundles of apps that you can use to mess with the rom, like a terminal emulator, root explorer, setCPU and many more, if you dont know how, check out my appbrain, loads of stuff

Rooted on 2.1-update1 and need help!!!

Recently got a HTC Wildfire (alltel) off somebody for nothing and I am looking for a way to fix it up a bit! I have rooted it. The current firmware is 2.1-update1 and I can not figure out how to do do more with it! I am trying to get it to 2.2 and eventually 2.3...even further if I can! 3.0? 4.0? Anything and Everything somebody could tell me to help out would be AMAZING! I am not a Noob but when it comes to this device I am! I currently own a Galaxy Note myself and this is a lil side project but I really need help!!!! Thank You soo much for anybody that helps!!!
AFAIK that's the HTC Bee and is totally different from the Wildfire. So Wildfire stuff will not work, and, looking around on these forums, I don't think there are any custom ROMs for that device.

z4Root can root your device, try it - it's a universal solution for FroYo and Eclair.

My Wildfire is from Cox and it is a "Bee". Will it also work for the Bee? Thank you so much!
From my original post, I said I already rooted the device. My problem is, I would like to put a custom ROM in the device. I'd like to be on at least 2.2 or 2.3 with the device. Its almost useless the way it is. Anybody that knows any way to do that on this device?? (ya my phone is a Note, but would still like this one nice too...well nice as I could get it)
Sent from my Rooted Samsung Galaxy Note Running ICS 4.0.4
Hello! I found the firmware on the phone to Android 2.2 HTC Wildfire A315c (HTC Bee) that the description is identical to the HTC Wildfire 6225 / ADR6225 (HTC Bee) but the flash does not work because it did not fit the phone ID. Can anything be done about it?
Sorry for translate.google.com
