Hello All,
So I have had my HTC One M8 since it's release all the way back to March/May. I've been using it and it's great and all and the Lollipop update is even better! I've set my mind on rooting because of seen some cools things such as the XPOSED Modules as well as a plethora of others such as Titanium Backup and Super SU(?).
I was wondering if there was any rom that would keep the Sense features/apps included with the phone but still have Lollipop and let me use icon packs and whatnot. Also if there are any guides to installing these said roms and what I should be wary of.
Thanks for the help!
bump
can anyone help me out!
Can anyone help me out please!?
Not to come off rude but have you read "General section"," Development section "
Each section will have it's own type of instructions/guides .it's a lot to read but you can benefit from the knowledge

Hello all,
I've done some searching around and am getting a little bewildered with what seems like contradictory advice/instructions so can someone please give me a shove in the right direction.......
I have a orange UK kaiser and want to flash it with the full featured rom which will allow the use of touch flo as it was designed. I dont know why orange crippled the device in the first place but hey ho.
I've noticed some ROM's floating about that also add messenger as well as other apps, this is all good but I have no idea on the process of flashing the device, and with some of the posts I've seen on here about radio's not working etc after flashing I thought I better just check with someone who does know.
So i just need maybe a link to a definitive thread/post on flashing this particular phone along with the tools needed.
Here's the details I get when booting the phone up.
R: 1.27.14.32
G: 22.45.88.07h
D: 1.81.00.00
Thanks in advance
Go to kaiser rom development and read the stickies and gweni

Cheers mate, will do
Hi guys,
I just got my Desire and I am interested in rooting it. I would appreciate if someone briefly can tell me what the advantages/disadvantages of rooting.
Also, where do I start with the rooting process?
Thanks so much in advance

@Dodolom - welcome
Best place to start reading about the rooting process is in the sticky at the top of this thread. Lots of information by many smart guys, so take your time and read through the lot before doing anything.
Why root? Well by rooting you can install custom ROMs which contain new software or customisations and programs outside of the stuff that HTC chooses to provide in their stock ROMs.
Good luck.
And just a word of advice - have a good read of all the stuff in the forum before asking questions. Will most certainly reduce the risk of you getting flamed
thanks mate.
Also, just run the phone as it is - you may find it does what you want it to do out the box - rooting is only neccessary if something you wish to do isn't available without rooting...

At the moment, I wouldn't say it's very advantageous to root your desire. I rooted my G1 back in the day (only a year or so ago I know ) - but with the Desire, the rooting process still leaves part of the OS locked down, which means you still don't get full control over it.
The only advantage I could see at the moment for rooting the desire would be to get Apps 2 SD. However this is rumoured to be a new feature in Android 2.2 (Froyo) which is due for release within the next month or 2 for Desires. So rather than void your warranty and risk bricking your phone. It might be better to wait for 2.2 and see what you get with that!
i have no idea why everyne doesnt root the desire when they get it... goto modaco.com goto the desire section and follow the r6 riskfree root process and now ou will have a world class phone that you can install app2sd , app2sd+ or app2sd++ nt to mention all the custom roms... good luck
What's the difference between app2sd, app2sd+ and app2sd++ ???

Hi People,
I have only just found out that you can change the ROM's and all sorts of thing with My HTC Desire.
I have had my phone for 2 weeks, I'm on Virgin Mobile and don't have a clue.
I was talking to a guy at work who has one and he told me about you guys.
I have had a look around but can't see anything for the noob...lol (ME!!!).
I was wondering is anyone could give me some advice on where to start, What to look out for and any general advice on what to do and what not to do?
Any Help would be much appreciated.
Many Thanks

First thing is to ask yourself why you want to change the ROM on the unit. Are you running out of space or are you just the type who likes to have more control?
I didn't root for months as the phon, out the box, does exactly what I want it to do. The only reason I've rooted now is to run the HD ROM but otherwise I'd stay stock.
You're going to get people reply with 'root it now, don't ever think of going stock, bla bla bla' but it's an individual thing, as is the choice of ROM. Read up on the stickied threads in the various forums and use the search button a LOT!

Welcome Mark.
EddyOS has provided you some excellent advice - don't rush into anything.
Mostly people do this as a kind of 'hobby' (including me) and you can end up with some cool stuff on your phone that HTC never intended you to have or have much later on. On the flip side, you can also wreck your phone too through doing the wrong thing or just plain bad luck. HTC can be a bit difficult in fixing stuff under warranty if you've been mucking about with your device, so be warned.
Everything you need to know about rooting and flashing (conjures up interesting images doesn't it?) is contained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189
So read up, lurk about a bit in the forums and if you think you need to - have a go.
Good luck!
Thanks Guys Some sound advice there i will look around before i do a thing.
Many Thanks
First thing I would do, though, is check the ROM currently running on your Desire and get the RUU* file in case you ever need to go back to stock after rooting. To check, go to Settings>About phone>Software information and make a note of the software version.
You can then go to this site and see if the version you're on at present is available. If it is, download it:

*RUU = ROM Upgrade Utility, official package from HTC to install a ROM
All,
I am new to this Forum and posted this previously in the wrong section
I am interested in eliminating HTC sense and some of the Sprint bloatware from my HTC EVO 4G. Can someone please explain how to do this? Do I need to ROOT my phone, install a new ROM or BOTH? If a new ROM is required, which ROM would you recommend?
Also, in case I run into any issues, I would like to be able to restore the stock HTC EVO software (OS). Is that possible? From my understanding, this would be possible. Is that correct?
Any assistance you can offer is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Zach

here is some info on rooting your phone. read, absorb and see if it is something you want to attempt. (its not difficult, you just need to follow directions accurately)
you may also want to do some searching of the forums for the rest of the info you seek. the folks here are helpful, but can be a bit on the hard side if you arent doing anything to help yourself.
Ah yes, the many joys of Forums. The more you read the more you get confused by everyones differing opinion.
What is the most comprehensive instructions available on this site for rooting an HTC EVo and installing a cyanogenmod ROM on it? Also, does the current cyanogenmod ROM support 4G?
Cyanogens rom does not support 4g yet. What you need to do is read as much of the stuff on here as you can for about a week or two. Especially if you have not rooted a phone before. Good luck.
Dear all developers;
1st, I know that xda-developers had everything, but really I become very confused what to use and how.
as ICS and JB ROM incresed, and Desire HD start to become limited resourced for these ROMs, and alot of leader developers start to switch to newer models, I start to feel that this forum become so confused.
1st request, plz, Can any interested developer build an updated comprehensive threat for kernels not like this threat because I spend 3 days of searching the whole net for list of compatible kernels for desire HD and its ROMs.
2nd request, plz, As I mentioned above, regarding limited resourced of DHD. Can any interested developer build and update comprehensive threat for app2sd, link2sd,.... that compatible with Desire HD.
3rd request, how to add international keyboard for stock IME, I read every where and can't find my request.
Finally, sorry to open new threat here but really I'm so confused.

1. That index thread is actually pretty updated; it's missing a couple of the newest JB ones and a couple ICS ones, but the maintainer is currently busy with school in real life and will get to it when he can. In the meantime, the currently active ROMs generally crowd around the top of the dev forum, since people comment on those threads the most. Are you looking for kernels in specific, or ROMs? If you are looking for kernels, is there a reason you don't like the kernels that come with the respective ROMs? Those usually work the best.
2. There are many apps in the Play Store that allow you to move apps to the sdcard (Titanium Backup, Rom Toolbox/App Manager, Apps2SD, etc.). Is that what you are asking for?
3. Can't answer that, no idea.
and 4. This is the development forum, for posting ROMs and other contributions. Please put things like this in Q&A in the future.
The questions and answers section exists for a reason...
I spent all last 2 months searching for a soulutions, I tried dta2sd, datalink, EXT4++, native ROM edit for sd-ext but nothing work, some advices was to change kernel, but till now nothing works, if scripts can create sd-ext folder & move all data folder into, the phone stuck in reboot loop.
Advice plz
