So, we can't S-off, can we still change ROM? - HTC One V

I've recently made the switch from a HTC Desire to a HTC One V. I don't mind the stock ROM, but the battery life sucks... Looking around, i see the bootloader unlocks easily, and rooting can be done easy, but I always thought without s-off, we couldnt change the ROM?
Anyway, i'm itching to find out what is doable here, and you guys are the experts... Fill me in will ya?

After unlocking the bootloader and rooting, you can install any ROM and any Kernel you'd like as long as it's compatible with the ROM you're planning to use. We have a variety of awesome ROMs including Sense ROMs if you like Sense or Vanilla ICS/JB if you like that, too. SuPrimo and myOneV are Sense ROMs and CyanogenMod 9 is stock ICS and CyanogenMod 10 is stock Jelly Bean. Go ahead and pick your poison.

As we don't have s-off till now hence you have to flash kernels through fastboot and after that you can flash roms(compatible with flashed kernel) via recovery.....

There is no best ROM, it's subjective. Find one you like the look of and give it a go, don't like it, try another.
I understand m8 but I'm kinda new to all this flashing custom Rom stuff and just want a stable and fast Rom that does everything the stock 2.2 does and more with the g1 only cm was available through Rom manager so just used that where the desire has a lot of options lol

If you want sense you should either go for a SenseHD rom, or a MoDaCo one.
If you want stock Android, I would recommend CyanogenMod!
You know you don't need to download and flash roms solely through ROM Manager?
My advice is just to look at the ROM forum and download the one with the most hits, it's popular for a reason. There are really only two different types of ROM, Sense and the stock Android bundled usually with ADW.Launcher. It's not like WM where there are a plethora of different mods and registry changes, at least not in my limited experience.
I agree just neva been this spoilt for choice

have you updated to Froyo yet? As far as I know, they are just 2.2 Froyo radios. So if you have updated to 2.2 chances are you don't need to update. (Double check with the radio thing, I am an Android newbie as well so I am not 100% sure.)
As for the kernel, as far as I know you don't need to update this either.
For Sense roms I strongly suggest LeeDroid, and Desire HD roms I'd go for RCMixHD (Camera still not working yet, but it should be fixed soon), non Sense roms, go for OpenDesire, Cyanogen or MIUI
Agreed, if you want to try something refreshingly different, try MIUI.
Still ain't a clue which one to try lol
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
well try Leedroid first, then MIUI for non-sense, and see if you are attracted to sense or not

Also try CyanogenMod or OpenDesire to see if you like Stock Android.
There is no harm in trying different roms and switching if you want!
I've used cm 6 before Ive not flashed roms without using Rom manager and leeroid isn't available through that there's only a small section like cm, defrost nd others
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
IT's not too hard
1. Download Leedroid rom from their minisite's dropbox folder.
2. copy file onto your sd card
3. reboot into recovery
Important part!!
DO A NANDROID BACKUP!!!
i. select backup/restore
ii. select backup and let it rip
iii. return to menu
4. select flash .zip
5. find the leedroid rom & select it
Cheers for help just one more question once I've flashed a custom Rom if I ever wanted to return to stock how would I go about doing it

Where Do I Start?

I really want to root my deisre, but I dont know where to start.
My system information on desire is
Android version 2.2
Baseband 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2
Kernel 2.6.32.15-gd966f2c0
Build 2.14.207.1 CL233777
All I want to do is be able to install apps2SD, I read somewhere with app2sd+ it lets you fool the phone in thinking you have more internal memory is this true?
I am a complete NooB at this so I just dont want to jump right in, I would like to somehow backup my stock ios so if anythink does go wrong and can reinstall back to default. All help welcome
shanks
look at the stickies, theres ghuides for everything!
if anything does go wrong, then just get the same RUU you've got now, and flash..
hope this helps!
Seems my ruu is.nt there?

Lol I never I just checked, so is ill all good then. If I mess up I can just install that ruu you posted
Thanks again great support on this site ha
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
You can indeed but if you read the guides carefully and be thorough you can't really go wrong
Thanks I'll have ago on Saturday off work then, if I do all this and 2.3 comes out can I still update or have I got to install a 2.3 Rom.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
A 2.3 official update to a branded desire is not going to come soon, anyhow you'll be rooted soon and a custom rom version of 2.3 will be released months before the official, so you might as well just stick with a custom 2.3 ROM.
But if you decide you want the official 2.3, then you apply the RUU, and then the update.
Ok thanks witch Rom is the best out there for app2SD?

Anything that supports EXT4
EXT3 is enough for A2SD+

It's not, just a lot of people seem to recommend it...
What would you say is better?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
It's not really fair on the dev's to state a 'best' rom, i would suggest you try a few different roms out as it will be down to your own personal preference. The most popular ones are listed on the first page of the Android Development section of the forum. Have fun flashing
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
That's about as good a reply as you'll get
Yes your probably right, I'll try leedroid out first. If it dose what it say I don't think ill try anymore. Just want 1gb of internal memory lol

Ready for rooting...but I want to be sure...

Hi guys! I got my One x Yesterday and now Im ready for rooting
I readed around our forum and found 3 interesting thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1577671
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592355
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604439
the last one its an all in one toolkit to root our HOX.
which's the best for you?
Also: which rom do you recommend (I like the stock features and look with some tweaks)
thank you guys! And keep up the good work to all devs!
use this thread. that is the one i used and very straight forward mate.
and use ARHD if you want close to stock with few tweaks. But still if you want a rom that is stock but with loads of tweaks and has the unique tweaks and always one step ahead of the competition use Team PKMN rom... for me that is the best rom at the moment and basically has mods and tweaks that no other rom has and support is brilliant and well the themers of that rom actually know how to theme and not think to much of themeselves
Rom that i am talking about and suggest:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625816

in the rom thread you wrote i read the HOx must be s-off or htc-dev unlock...correct if Im wrong: with s-on we cant flash boot directly right? so how I can s-off my HOX?
At the present there is no way to s-off a HTC one x. You don't need s-off to install a custom Tom or kernal however. Just follow the instructions in the help thread and you should be fine.

Any ideas how to do this thing ? and im saying this again im too noob but if you write it step by step im sure we will get this done succsesfully
And if there existed any other topic like this one im sorry for the double post or if it is in the wrong section.

I don't think there is a kernel for dual boot on HOX
I know of siyah kernel for SGS3 forums only.

Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I don't think there is a way to have a dual boot but when you root your phone you can make a back up of your current ROM (the stock one) before you flash your Cyanogenmod. There are lots of threads here that'll help with this.
So there was a way to save my stock rom but does it change something like not reciving updates from htc or any other thing i mean the side effects for saving the rom or it will just continue as it was ?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
In order to root you will have to unlock your bootloader and flash a custom recovery. These stop your phone from getting automatic updates.

yes sir you can install any custom rom you want to install for One X.
There is a slight prob with CM10, gps is not working at the moment i guess.
But you can flash it the same way you used to flash ics roms.
also you can flash any sense based JB roms.
