I'm seeing people posting ROMs and Kernels and the like...does that mean root is stable enough now to warrant trying it out? I'm coming from the Vibrant, which was pretty much unbrickable, and I'm worried about bricking this glorious device. Let me know if root is stable and let me know which root to go with (Zedomax?). Thanks!

yep its stable.
i recommend flashing a rooted kernel, then flashing back to stock kernel and keep root. you will lose cwm but that will get fixed down the road.
Right now all I really care about is being able to use Titanium Backup...as long as I can do that I'm good. Any kernel more stable than others that you'd recommend?

Just curious what ROM fellow flashers are running so far! I'm still stock rooted and am pretty happy with the experience although I can always use a sick custom ROM .
I know there are only a handful released so far as the devs are justttt getting warmed up so I guess everyone can just give their take on whats available so far.
*Sorry if this has already been posted, didn't see anything similar. Kill the thread if necessary!

Stock rooted with battery%+crt off mod.
Once other mods and optimizations make it into the stock, like 4in1 reboot, I'll flash that.
But so far, I'm very happy with stock.
Stock, root, no mods and most bloat removed. Was on zedo's kernel, but flashed back (got some weird issues, pretty sure it's not the kernel, but need to eliminate variables).
Working on my own kernel (learning) and will probably build my own ROM off that... if/when I get time.
Hi all,
I've been browsing this forum a while now, and I've used the search alot, but can't really find what I'm looking for. I'm trying to temp root my phone so that I can overclock it using SetCPU. I'm not going for perm root yet, since I don't have ANY experience with it and I don't have a spare phone (and kinda need this for my internship).
I'm using stock Desire Z with Android 2.3.3. I already tried visionary+, but this doesn't work. So is there any way (like the visionary app) to temp root my phone so that SetCPU will work?
Thnx
Yes, there is temp root, but no you won't be able to overclock. Just installing SetCPU doesn't enable it. Your clock speed will be limited because you'll still be operating on the stock kernel.
If you're interested in rooting, read through the HTC Vision Wiki, and do your research. This will give you the info and steps necessary to downgrade, root, and re-upgrade to pre-rooted 2.3. At this point, you'll be able to install a custom ROM (and subsequently a custom kernel) that will allow you to OC to your heart's content.
Just do your research before you try anything, and ask questions about confusing steps BEFORE you begin. If you take your time and pay attention to what you're doing, there is a very low chance that you'll brick your device. Don't be worried about it.
I thought I read somewhere that overclocking to 1GHz was possible with a stock system? Or is that info outdated?
And thanks for the quick reply

Both rooted stock 2.2 and pre-rooted 2.3 ROMs I have can't be overclocked above 806mhz.
FWIW overclocking the stock ROM to 1ghz will still give you slower performance than just running CM7 at 800mhz.
Thnx for answers.
You actually answered my next question aswell, because I did want to use a custom ROM at some point and have been looking for a build that looks like a standard Android build, withouth HTC/Samsung/whatever own skin on top of it, and CM7 does look pretty nice.
But, to be able to flash a custom ROM, you need to do a perma rooot
I know. And I already said in my first post that I dont want to perma root YET
But now that I know that I need a diff kernel in order to OC, perma root is comming closer and closer..

Yes CM7 is AOSP-based (stock), but has lots of nice improvements.
If you want reallly stock android, there are other builds that have no extras. I'd recommend cm7 though, its very nice.
I'll be receiving this phone (AT&T version, P930?) in few days.
Just wondering how to root, does this still works? http://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-root-lg-nitro-hd-39814/
some people say it doesn't because the new software now.
Which software is new and which is old?
that is exactly the software i use several times to root my nitro. be sure and save that version, it works very well for the nitro
ok thanks
after root i can flash roms right?
which rom is the best in your opinion?
@smashcz,
There's really no contention on this subject, CM9 is by far the best. The AOKP builds have potential, but they're still a little buggy and the dev doesn't own our device personally.

So this page? http://get.cm/?type=nightly&device=p930
Does it include all the gapps?
yes, that is the right page and no it does not have the gapps, you can those via ROM manager->download ROM
to root, do I need to install some drivers to PC?
if so where do I get it?
everything you need to root is on that page.
the ROMs i would mess around with are
cm9
ho!no!
kernalpan1c
aokp
stock
backup!!!!!!!!!
Hey guys,
I possibly may get a Note 2 and just have a quick question regarding the AOSP Roms here.
Looking through the threads, it seems like the AOSP Roms are doing very well and very stable.
Am I correct with this and is there anything I should know? I love AOSP Roms very much lol.
Also I didn't find the rooting thread, is it easy to root?
Thanks!!!!!
Is there anybody out there? lol
Rooting is easy If you use the Galaxy note 2 toolbox in the development thread. Not sure about the asop roms. not really a fan.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957155

Great, thanks!
I am mainly asking about AOSP Roms because that's the only thing I use lol.
cm11 and omnirom work great esp with xposed. No issues. However the update to kk is kind of a one way thing due to the changes in storage mount points.
tapa_talk 4 sucks

Actually that statement is far from true. I bounce between 4.2.2, 4.3, 4.4.2 aosp and 4.1.2, 4.3 touchwiz all the time.
The thing is that you have to wipe your internal sdcard. Actually I wipe mine every time I flash any rom even if they are the same version. A clean flash will always give you the best results.
One place to check

*I would also like to know the opinions of other testers and devs for this question.
Nobody is going to help you with this question because the point is for you to try the rom yourself. Do some research, bite the bullet and start flashing any and every rom until you find one that suites your needs.
Oh, I think some people might be willing to help, the problem is, your question is to nebulous. You need to give more information.
First the easy stuff.
Newest? Look at the dates of the threads or go to the main thread on ROMs, it usually lists the latest updates. Unless you are taking about the newest version of android (like Lollipop). In that case, look for a higher number. Kit Kat is 4.4,: Lollipop is 5.0
Most Stable? Get a rooted version of rooted Kit Kat stock. It was made specifically for the phone and will likely be most stable
Best? I want slimport out, USB otg, working Bluetooth, and stable. I went with a debloated version of rooted stock (10r version). That is currently the "best" for me. You might want speed, even less bloat, more customization, etc. Your best is going to be different than others.
Give us more details and people can help you. A blanket request for "best" is not enough to go by.
Good luck!
You're not going to get more stable than stock based. I'd be using that if I didn't care about open source and possible spying. Right now I've got PACMAN 4.4.4 without GAPPS with minor issues I can live with but am getting tired of. Might try Carbon next or something.
Avoid anything 5.0 based for now, as it really doesn't feel ready yet.

Rooting can be daunting if you are not confident and knowledgeable about modding your phone. As always, there is a risk when installing custom ROMs.
But with success, the G3 rocks! Good luck!
