I'm rooted with unrevoked 3 and I want to remove the root so I can install the ota update. So if I do a factory reset will I be good to go? Also what is the best app to backup all of my apps and settings? Musy be a simple one because I'm clueless wirh this stuff. Thanks

no, a hard reset will not. a reset only wipes userdata and cache and a few other things. why would you want an ota update???? just downlaod one of the roms our talented devs have created for you (most have the newest ota) and flash.
I would but I have no idea how to flash roms and backup and all of that. I don't even know how to find the roms. Or understand the terminology. And why wouldn't I want the ota update are those good because they fix issues and improve stuff?

ok, it seems this might be a little more complicated than a 2 sentence answer...
you wouldnt want an ota, not because it is not better than its predecessor, but because it is just what htc put in, and as you know, there is alot of stuff htc is not capable of, not willing to, or not creative enough to put in. that is why you would want a custom rom.
a rom is the Read Only Memory of the phone. it is the stuff that tells it what to do when something happens. it is everything you see and do when the phone is booted up, as well as while it is booting. if your phone is rooted, you can do whatever the hell you want to do with it.
the talented devs at xda (including me minus the talent) have made custom roms based off the ota's. most have little add ons and tweaks. some of the more in-depth ones have bigger changes, or even complete ui changes. these devs have packadged them in update.zip scripts, so that they will easily install on your phone. they can be found in the android dev section (in the evo forum)
before flashing a zip (installing a rom through a script) you will need to wipe everything, so it is reccomended to use the titanium backup app to backup all your apps, as well as the data in the apps.
any more questions? shoot

Thanks I've been researching for the past 3 hours and I've backed up with rom manager and titanium backup and I think I am ready to install my first rom. I'm looking for a completly stable rom with vanilla 2.2 that will let me use everything that I can use on stock like 4g,market, and everything else. Thanks again
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
as vanilla, do you mean the lockscreen??? if you do, easy fix. if you mean stock android stuff, you will have a hard time finding 4g there... i am always willing to help. as an extremely stable rom, i reccomend fresh. very stable and looooooong battery
Well not just the lock screen. I just want stock android with no UI at all. And I want everything to work. Thanks for helping me btw

I'm pretty sure there are no AOSP roms that have everything working, specifically 4G. I think there might be a couple Sense roms that have sense pretty stripped out that look and feel like AOSP, just dig around the development section.
If it's just the UI you care about, you can always install ADW or LauncherPro and make it look like AOSP. That way you have everything working and you get to keep some of Sense's finer parts, like the smart dialer (the AOSP dialer sucks!).
Ok.I'm thinking about trying the fresh rom is there anything that doesn't work with that? Does 4g work? Anything I should know about it? Lol

I think dude used the word vanilla as an adjective for plain HTC sense 2.2 and not AOSP.
Fresh is awesome. I have been using it for a while and just updated to the latest one today. It's a sense ROM, so everything works. The dock looks a little different compared to stock but that's it.
Alright cool. Because I'm getting horrible battery life even with having the processor underclocked. As soon as I take it off the charger it drops from 100% to 85% within 10 minutes of no use lol. Also wil titanuim backup work with fresh? Like can I restore e erything with no problems?

Titanium should work with any ROM.
FYI, the paid version will allow you to do a one click batch restore of all apps and data.
Yeah I have the paid ver. But what's the point of switching if the only differnce is the dock. Is the battery life THAT much better?

Switch what? What are you talking about? Fresh ROM? Read the 1st post of the Fresh ROM thread to learn what it features.
I just did the backup and now my pandora and scanner radio apps are gone? Weird
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
That's not the only difference, it's the only major VISUAL difference. Most of the other stuff is under the hood. I don't know what kind of battery life you've been getting but with Fresh and king's #11cfs kernel I get great battery life. I put a fresh battery in at 7 this morning and I still have 45%. I was streaming pandora and MeCanto for a couple hours, made a few phone calls, 20 or so texts, and maybe an hour of internet browsing.
Oh I forgot about kernals. How do I install a kernel? Do I have to install a kernal? What is a kernel? Lol

Just a couple of small bug fixes to do with the notification bar not being smooth when you slide it down. And if you had a short cut or gesture mapped to open the notification bar in the stable release it would not open, but it has now been fixed.

I tried all the ROMS in Rom Manager and after just a few days i eventually went back to CM 7.
When you root follow the guide on the wiki here, not visionary.
Also want to mention that my GPS is broke Since i flashed Virtous, still broken in MIUI and CM 7. Im about to try the GPS fix now.

I would do some research myself, but don't have a computer at the moment and it's a bit slow to research on my outdated MotoCliq. Lol
I have been using xboarder56's gingerbread ROMs, and they are pretty close to stock gingerbread, I think. I have never used the CM or any of the other ones.
I also rooted my phone using this really easy method which uses visionary then I uninstalled visionary and haven't had a problem. I think it was the method that didn't require ADB.

No. There's a method here that's SUPER SIMPLE not overly complicated. You use vision for temp root and type like 3 commands and you're good to go! This command stuff is foreign to me and I did it just fine
Sent from my CM7 GDeux
I rooted my G2 2 days ago, I used the Visionary to temp root + gfree way to root, had no problems, worked on 1st try. The first and only mod I have flashed is CM7. Gonna use it for a bit, then probably try some others, probably will always come back to CM. I shouldn't have tried it 1st haha, should have tried it last. Its kind of a hassle having to re-install all your apps, and redo all your settigns and stuff, after flashing each ROM. I want to try the meXdroid ROM though, has some Xpera features, looks nice. I also have the GPS problems- weather apps and maps never being able to lock on my location. There is a fix in this thread, haven't tried it yet. I don't really use GPS, anyway, always keep it off. Have only used Google Nav once, hahaha.
Use gfree, you get sim unlock super Cid the whole shebang. Just follow the wiki its laid out perfectly

I used the visionary temp/g-free method and everything went smooth.
I noticed that a lot of themes and such are mostly created for the Nightly version for CM7. Why is that?

Pleased to here rooting went smoothly.
If your running CM7 the best bet for themes is to use the theme chooser, you can download themes from the market or if you head over to the general android themes forum there are loads available for free. The great thing about using the theme chooser is that your not stuck to running a certain release of a ROM just because of a theme, they will work on the latest nightly's.
But I thought that most of the flashable themes that were available for our handsets were now updated to run with CM7 Stable
Everyone that haves questions on the sense 4 ics rom please post here to keep the thread clean.
I will try to answer some of the questions here. Not there.
And I will talk to the developers to find answers for you.

After doing a TB restore and rebooting I unlock the screen and the 'loading' window appears, just gets stuck there and never loads the icons/clock etc.
Coming from sense 3.5, is there something I am restoring that is causing this issue? I just did a batch backup of everything and then the same for restore, usually works but I assume there are some items I shouldn't be restoring and ICS/Sense 4.0 doesn't like them.
Any help on what I should leave out while also getting most of what I need back is appreciated.

It seems you restored some apps which are not compatible with ICS, or at least this beta ROM.
I encountered this issue too and my solution is using market. Just log in with your google account and open market. In "My apps">"ALL" your will find your apps once installed in sense 3.5, however incompatible apps are not in the list.
Just avoid restoring these apps.
I wouldn't have thought a normal app that was incompatible such as Skype or something would be causing the home screen to fail to load. I would think it was one of the system apps I had backed up that was the problem?
I'm quite new to all this and since I rooted I have only gone from a Sense 3.5 ROM to another Sense 3.5 one which will be why I've had no issues in the past.
Despite OP being a "O U SHUD JUS READ N NOT RITE" twat, I'll ask here anyway.
How do I get the extra dropbox space? I searched "dropbox" in the original thread and couldn't find an answer.
The dropbox issue has work for some and some not. I READ that unlínking and linking back with the primo rom works. Try it and reply!
Also from coming from. Sense 3.5 i recomend that you backup the apps only. I did a data backup and it worked but the best is to restore the apps alone

I am having an issue with the market on my Inspire with some purchased apps. For example the MLB At Bat 12 app which I purchased and downloaded in LC's Ice Cold Sandwhich does not show up on the list for any Sense 3.6 or 4.0 roms. Since it is a copy protected app I have had no success restoring it in titanium backup. On 3.6 my about phone says I have a Sensation XL. I don't recall if the primo roms(I have tried them all) say I am a DHD or a One V...Any suggestions on how to get the market to know I have an At&t Inspire?
Thank You.

How about a little bit more info? Did you install a new rom? if so, was it a Sense rom or AOSP? Do you have the htc sync program installed on your phone? you can't just put ONE sentence as general as that and expect people to help

From my experience, it will work on any Sense based ROM, not just stock.

True. MIUI is an AOSP ROM, so it's not going to be able to connect to HTC Sync. you have to use a Sense ROM. There are other options to listen to Podcasts

What he said.. Each are varying with what works and what does not. I am running CM10 on my main phone, its not bug free but I dont have any huge major issues. CM9 improves on some things but not everything. The only ones I would personally call rock solid are the CM7 builds.

You're not being very forthcoming with your setup. Assuming you are already rooted...You can back up apps with titanium backup. You can back up the rom with your recovery (cwm, twrp, ext, etc...). For nav, any rom will do. For tether, it depends on if you want to use the built in CM tether, or a market app. I believe the CM7 roms have the built in tether working. CM9 and CM10 may require the use of an app like barnacle for tethering. Stability is in the eye of the beholder, but generally the CM7 roms will be most stable since they have "better" kernel source.
My real suggestion...spend some time reading around the threads because you are the only one that can really decide what will work best for you.

CM10 unofficial
I have always been a CM fan from my OG Droid days.
For backing up I tend to allow google to keep my apps up to date after a fresh install. (I feel like google owns me at this point anyway) I dont use Titanium much now. I do back up my SMS messages though with SMS restore.
For the Inc 2 i think CM9 is fairly fast, has FFC, is mostly stable, and i WAS able to tether with the stock app. A good option
But I use CM10 consistently at this point because 1. It is visibly faster than CM9 and 2. I am now hooked on google now. Its pretty awesome even though i have seriously considered reverting back to CM9 for the FFC (google hangouts and skype video calls worked for me well)
I would check out aeroevan's v13 kernel and 20120821-unofficial for a good option.
Okay I now a lot about Android but I'm lost for a second now what is ffc ?
Sorry I got it now
Okay so yes I just need to have everything backed up with my stock Rom
Anyone ever used uniflash ?
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda app-developers app
CM
If you want absolute stability and everything to work (including proper audio and camera) I would recommend cm7.2
If newer features like google now matter more, I would use cm10, aeroevans build is getting very good. Some issues with audio, with some workarounds, there are details in dev forms here and on rootwiki.
I still use cm7.2 because the audio is perfect, which is important to me, and the battery life is far superior at this point.
Thank you sounds good!
