The difference between a Rom and a kernel is. ROM is the OS that you flash. Right now you are running samsungs stock rom that is on your phone. A kernal is what controls the hardware of the phone.

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
hello forum, well i just bought a new epic 4g for my sister the phone is rooted, but the rom that this guy flash aint working as suppose "Alpha Hawk w/EG22+" thats the name of the rom, so whats other rom u guys think is better, oh n pls tell me if i can just flash it over that rom!!! thanks alot guys
I don't want to sound like a **** but please search. You are our 30th customer for this question this month. They are all good. If it is for someone else put on ReRFS or EC05plus and walk away.

Most say syndicate rom frozen 1.2, no you can't flash it right over that rom but there's a video showing you how to flash it in the thread. You should teach her how to do some of these things herself so she won't run to you and blame you for any problems.
I don't think there's one best rom out there, since most of it was custom-made, and it really depends on your phone too.. (and i guess different phone gives different result)
but if you want an EC05, I would say the ACS Frozen ROM is probably the most stable EC05 ROM out there..
GB-leak custom ROM is not as stable as Froyo, IMHO..
well, just got my Gnex... and i really like accept for one issue... lots of random shutdown and reboot there is no pattern i can define..
how ever... fort the most part when it shuts down i am forced to pull the battery inorder to restart it... this is on an unlocked and rooted phone.. but it also happened on a completely stock rom... dang i really like this phone to... im wondering is its an issue with hardware, battery or rom right now im on Jellybean 4.2 rooted.. stock.. not really sure what else to do... perhaps try a different rom and kernel? bit lost here.. i just hope the phone is not defective... that would kinda suck..
any help is appreciated....

well, right now i have franko kernel installed , no params adjusted... not even sure where i would find the section in settings.. on a stock Verizion JB 4.2... im not even sure what would be the best rom to try
some one suggested MetalC.. but i cant find the Gapps that work with that one... so what i need is a solid ROM, Kernel and Gapps..
i was able to root via the Nexus Root Tool kit... that went well... but now i need to decide what Toro version rom i need to use.. and im keeping an eye out to see if the Franko kernel brings any joy for those random reboots and shutdowns... the guy i bought the Gnex from said he will do a full refund but i want to sort this out if possible... this little machine is too cool just to cash out on...
time to research on roms and stuff i guess..

For 4.4 go for cMetal / Playfulgod / dhacker's CM builds, for a 4.3 experience i dunno any one for toro and for kernel i think you can try out MpoKang as it can be flashed on 4.3 and up just have a look in the official thread and you'll be able to find zips plus use trickster app for the kernel control :good: !!
well, a bit of a followup friday swapped out the stock kernel for Franko kernel... and i have had it on for about most of the day yesterday and zero random shutdowns and no SOD.. this little thing is great and its a lot more easy to have this around then a remote for 2 google tv a roku and an xbmc box... i have not delved into new roms, the JB stock seems to be working fine im getting at least 10 hrs out of the battery... this is be best micro tablet i could ever find for 70 bucks... and the screeen is quite nice.. im sure i will be moding soon enough... but for now just a kernel change seems to have put an end to the sleep of death and random shutoffs..
so i dont know if this is where it should be but i was wondering if anyone would like a version of dargon rom for any variant of our tablet because i feel bad non of this get any roms so
here it goes sorry if i ask alot
WANT A CUSTOM ROM FOR UR VARIANT HERE
*REQUIREMENTS
a stock version of that tablet's rom with root or deodex
testers I may not have the device
pls remember im not a developer i dont build my own stuff but i want everyone to have nice rom for their device tell any serious ones are built
ill take request cant be themeing tho i dont kno how to do that
p.s sorry if its in the wrong
hello all im new here coming from s7 since here its very low going on i cant find much of roms and kernels to try im wondering if there is any custom lite rom thats based on the stock one ui 10 i really hope there is one .... and in the case there is any rom like that what is the easiest simple way to remove those bloatware to debloat all those junks like knox etc ? i know only the adb command way but is there any better easy one becuase im facing problems doing that for some reason
