???. ...
Visit this topic : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20397899&postcount=2
Here u will find how to root it
After that if u want to go custom rom, u shold look in Developer forum and look for Cyanogen 7,2
I would advice u tho to stay on stock rom, is much more stable. I also tried Cyanogen 7.1/7.2 and i noticed that in call voice quality on stock is much more better then Cyanogen.
browse to the galaxy gio topic, you'll find one

Hello folx..
Im using Desire HD for a while and wanted to ask you:
What is the diffrence between stock rom and custom roms ? What do i get if i put custom rom on my desire hd ? I have to root it i know that. But is it worth to put custom rom?
Thanks alot in advance for responses..
as i can see in your signature, why have you modde your HD2? the same reason to not be controlled by anyone to what you do with something that you own, to be free of bloatware that the companys want sell you. that is why i keep mine as plain as possible.

Yes, i modded my HD2, because it has Wm stock on it, and i wanted android.. But i still cant see right bemefits of custom android roms for DHD.. Maybe im not reading much...
Briefly - Most custom ROMs are better optimized for speed, smoothness, battery life, user customization, extra settings etc. Not only that but most bugs are fixed before HTC would ever get round to it.
Do it, you wont look back
But , if i root my phone, i loose warranty ? Is there any chance i could "unroot" my phone ( revert to process of rooting, so i can keep my warranty for any case..) ?
If it's anything like the Hero (which I'm sure it is), then flashing an official HTC RUU ROM will remove root.
Best to check in the DHD development section though, there's a FAQ there
EDIT: As always, it's best to do as much of your own research and reading as you can before trying anything new, but here's a link to a thread about removing root etc: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9985360#post9985360
I'm using recently bought un-rooted Galaxy Gio (S5660XXKQ5) with stock 2.3.4 ROM. The reception has been pretty bad right from the start and few days ago I read that the reason for that might be the modem of my current stock ROM.
The question is - can I just flash new modem via Odin without rooting the phone and installing custom ROM? Is there a collection of S5660 modems somewhere?
HI !!!
Hi!
same new member here...
this analogy maybe ll help you...
which one do you think is greater, the brand new car that hasn't been modified or the modified car that its components, including engine, brake, and body has been modified into the best one???...
when you play NFS or GT sure you ll upgrade your car components, right?
same like the custom rom compared to the stock...
even the stock has a lot of problems..
here mine when i bought, i got nothing special with my gio with 2.2.1 stock FW
even the galaxy mini is better comparing to gio with the stock in GPS test
so u better root you phone, without being care about the MOdulator-DEModulator stuff and going to new custom rom
there are a lot of Best rom in the Android Development forum like the one created by phiexz, search yourself
to have custom rom sure you have to root your device, and don't think it's complicated that you should get other's help
u can do yourself
1.)search the root tutorial based on your current rom (when i first root my phone i used superoneclick, but if it's kinda complicated, seach another way)
2.)then install Clockworkmod Recovery, download in the market or else by the name ROM Manager (or the customized CWM)
3.)download the rom (complete components, if existed)
4.)flash the rom by rebooting into recovery... (don't care about rooting again, u ll find most of the rom will be automatically rooted with new CWM, and a2sd enabler)
5.)short tutorial above depends on the rom you ll be flashed
i'm a bit being advisor, hope u dont mind...
I know all the advantages of having a custom ROM but this time I'm really interested in replacing my modem to get better reception. Could it be done?
Hi Guys
I have my Galaxy Y for about 4 month now and I would like to test some new rom's.
I’m totally new on this section and have some questions about backing up roms etc.
Fist my specifications if it helps:
rooted android 2.3.5. Due to my provider (T-Mobile) im not able to flash a newer firmware thru kies atm.
PDA: BOKJ1
PHONE: BOKI3
CSC: DTRKJ2
How I make a backup from my firmware? I will test new Roms and I eventually will go back to my stock rom to get updates thru kies. I often read about clockwork mod and also I often read that cwm is not full compatible with SGY. Which version will work? Or is there another way to make a backup?
Which rom is atm the best?
I’m looking for some more performance, features and eventually a little better look and feel.
I cast an eye at Creeds rom but I heard that he is not developing it any more.. too bad...
atm this is the rom I would prefer.
Is there any other rom that is better than this? The hybrid rom looks so.. hmm I don’t know.. I think its not my cup of tea.. but maybe I give it a try
Or should I just flash a newer 2.3.6 stock rom on my device? In this case which one? There are so many and I have no clue which are the newest and which are fit my needs. I live in Germany so can I simple flash any other country firmware like India etc? Whats about the language of the menu?
Thanks for Ur help and I have to say sorry... English is not my mother language so plz don’t bash me if I spelt something wrong
First off, welcome to XDA Developers, bro.
I would suggest upgrading your firmware to 2.3.6 first. Check out Doky73's thread and I'm sure you will be able to find the latest European firmware there.
For backing up your current firmware, grab a copy of skin's CWM scattered all over the threads in the Development Section.
devsss plzz port sony xperia's rom to samsung galaxy y...timescape UI and itz widgets lookkkk cooll on galaxy y than touch wiz.......!!!

I have done that and I have no clue which are the best... thats all personal opinions. Nobody really says a thing over performance, memory usage etc..
I have read about 35-40 sites in the creeds rom thread and I give it a try but is scares me that its not developt anymore and that some people say that 2.1 is buggy.

Check if your build number is the one named. It's in Settings - About phone.
Ok so, my DHD had 2.2 froyo ...updated over OTA for 2.3.5 and is 3.12.405.1.If i get it right so far :
- I need Advanced Ace Hack Kit
- I downloaded Android Revolution 7.1
So all i need is use AAHK ( that will instal CWM right?) then boot it, using Rom Manager ( from Market) or using vol down + power button , select wipe and then instal ROM from card and that all? Btw is Android Revolution 7.1 have any issues i wish to know guys.If any1 wana help me step by step and have time:
- [email protected] ( yahoo messenger ) and bona.nox ( skype) just send me inv
Thx in advance guys :/
Ohhh i forget about gapps ...need for Revolution 7.1 also right?
Yes. You don't need gapps for a Sense ROM like ARHD.
Thx bananagranola. After i saw many things about rooting and things ...il keep it on stock ...old but good not with errors or any surprises later on. 8D
