Hi all!
I recently got into the awesome world on Android rooting, and have been experimenting with my device a lot! I have flashed Android 5.0.1 Lollipop on my HTC One m7 (verizon), and now would like to overclock it. I know that I will have to flash a custom kernel to be able to do this. I have tried ElementalX (13.3 [for android 4.4], which HAS installed properly, and functioned correctly, and installed all of it's features, but after installing it, I am not able to open Tasker, SetCPU, and other apps. These apps are VERY important to me, so I am not willing to give these up for CPU overclocking. I am aware that there are versions of ElementalX for Android version 5, but these are for other carriers and thus will not work. If you know any kernels that will support overclocking for my device, would greatly appreciate it if you were to tell me!
Thanks!

I have a rooted Sprint HTC M8 current running CM12..I have busybox installed and working, I've tried viper4android with this ROM,liquid smooth, viperone, and others ..it initially tells me to load the driver & reboot..when I do it tells me the same thing.. I love viper4android..is there a custom m8 ROM that has it built in? Help & thanks
I apologize if this is explained elsewhere, did a search but not coming up with much:
I'm somewhat new to Android rooting. I have a Verizon M8 that was on 4.4.4. I installed Sunshine 3.02, got root no problem, TWRP installed with no issues, SU installed fine. I tried to run a few of the Lollipop ROMs but they would not run, I jut got returned to TWRP. (Some, like ViperOneM8 run fine). According to a post in another thread, I also need to update the kernel to get it to work with these newer ROMs.
My question is: what now? There's a section on XDA for Kernels but they all appear to be custom kernels, the ROM I want to use (Android Revolution) says that using the stock kernel is best. How do I find these kernels and how do I figure out which one to use?
Anyone willing to give me the short version of when I would need a new kernel and why?
Thanks for any help!
You need to update to Lollipop firmware.
You should also make sure you stick to ROMs that specifically support the Verizon variant (if you are not doing so already) as its a CDMA variant, which is different hardware from most other (GSM) versions.
Hey I feel like a noob for asking but after genuinely searching the site for a few hours I have been unable to find any kernel compatible with my stock rom version 5.0.1 and phone t-mobile us 851. Is there one available and if not is there any way I can overclock my phone without installing a custom rom and a kernel over it. I really appreciate any answers. Thank you. Also just wanted to mention that before asking I actually tried installing incompatible kernels pretty much knowing that they wouldn't work (thank goodness I backed up lol).
Hi all,
I have an M9 (CID HTC_102), which is unlocked. I'm running the latest unmodified stock ROM (4.28.401.3) and haven't touched the bootloader. Since I can't upgrade my phone anytime soon, and this phone probably isn't going to get any more updates, I'm looking for a ROM that's as close to stock Android, or better, Pixel (I use Nova Launcher at the moment, so a launcher isn't really a problem).
One of the ROMs I saw is Lineage. Is this the best one that fits the criteria? As I understand, it will also install some apps, but I prefer to use the Google ones (especially an unmodified version of the dialler for caller ID, and the camera app, which I can't use at the moment because my cpu is 810). Will I be able to uninstall them?
Also, what would be the best way to root?
Thanks in advance!
Hi, I have been away from modding and roms for quite a while, and to be honest I have forgotten most of what I knew about it all. I have a T520 and it is currently rooted and running a Android 4 rom. I want to use it to view my Eufy Cams but in order for that app to work it needs to be on Android 5.0 or higher. I am looking for a simple setup and a stable and basic rom if possible. I literally use this tablet for nothing else, so the most important thing is being able to use that app. Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
Look at this, its doing a great job for most of the sm-t520 users here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...7-1-xsm-t520-unofficial-lineage-14-1-t3538770
Its Android 7.1.1
