Phew that was nerve wrecking
But successful
Thanks to the wonderful guides here and supporting posts by the community, it was pretty painless. Now its just a matter of finding which ROM I'd like to stick with for the time being. I just couldn't wait any longer to play with Froyo, and I like the roughness of the N1 version but for now I've gone back to the Mocado Sense ROM until all the issues have really been ironed out with the custom Froyo ROMs. I have both images on the SD and it takes about 2 mins from boot to switch now, I'm impressed that I can back up and recover so easily.
I'm soo impressed actually, you guys are fantastic.
I guess really this is just an ass licking thread in the end
that would be ass kissing. Ass licking is not quite the compliment.
Nice one. It's a great feeling when you root successfully first time isn't it
You get a great sense of satisfaction.
If you like 2.1 roms over froyo at the minute, you should try one of pays roms in the dev section. They are a few pages down now as he hasn't kept the thread updated because he had to send his phone to HTC for repair (not rom related) lol.
His roms are very good, and a lot of people including me really like them. I'm on a froyo rom now though because I can't stop changing. lol.

Yes you're right I stand corrected, lets move on
@socktug, okay I'll look at those.. I do like the inclusion of Wavesecure in the Modaco ROM but now its rooted I'm sure I'll look around before I settle. No point getting too cosy cos in a month or two an official sense Froyo will come and I'll have to flash that anyway.
(edit) I mean a custom version of the Sense Froyo of course

seriously though, we are indeed fortunate to have such a talented and generous membership at XDA. things will get even better once Desire is sold in the US and more even people get on board.
I think ass licking would leave more of a bitter taste in your mouth and i imagine the texture would be something similar to Nutella.
+1 for the idea of ass kissing as opposed to ass licking (and no, i am not gay if that is what you were thinking!)

Wow pretty much same here! I rooted for the first time yesterday, but didn't go over as straight forward as I would've hoped. First I tried the Linux method which didn't work - apparently I need a goldcard even though my phone's unlocked and unbranded. Then it took forever to get the ADB interface to recognize the phone - major problems with Win7 x64 at first. Finally got that right though (after several hours). From then on it was quite smooth.
I installed PaY's BraveSoul ROM and quite love it
I want to try out FroYo, but there's one thing stopping me. It's kind of a small thing, but maybe one of you can shed some light? Here goes:
So, I like Sense. Quite a bit. But I'm willing to go to vanilla Android if there is a way to keep my contact information built up properly. i.e. right now, my contacts are merged with Facebook/Sense which gives birthdays, profile pictures, email addresses etc. all under one unified contact - will I lose that if I go to FroYo? Is there a way to make all those details static so they can be carried forward to a non-Sense ROM?
Hope this isn't extremely off-topic!
Yeah, you do sacrifice a lot of useful functionality moving away from Sense to a froyo rom, including the way it mingles all of your contacts together. It's a personal preference really but I prefer the mail app, HTC browser and photos app in Sense to Android 2.2, the mail app is actually far superior as you can use contacts from any of your accounts and the corporate address book when you cmopose a new message.
Not wanting to start rom wars here but I think Pays roms are the best - they include a lot of nice features like automatic ad blocking, I've tried pretty much everything on this board and I always end up going back.
As for rooting, it is necessary when HTC have given us such a pathetic amount of phone storage, I ran out after a week and only had about 20 apps installed. Rooting was necessary so that I could install apps to the sd card and use my phone without having to constantly do housekeeping in my market downloads.
Hey carrige, I just rooted 2 days ago, and I can say that I am seeing a lot of difference in speed and quality, compared to the stock ROM. Yeah I too miss the HTC contacts widget, since it used to sync every contact detail together, and liked a lot how the images on facebook were ported to my phone contacts. However I found something similiar to that, it only ports the photos though, and not the info.
As regards to ROMS, I only tried DeFrost and Mondaco's and I can tell you they are pretty amazing!

Well, I'm still on the fence. My phone runs very smooth, does almost everything I need, the only reason to root would be aps2sd but I think I can wait for the official Froyo+Sense update that should come any day now [sarcasm].
Of course, I haven't tried any of the custom ROMs, so, what am I missing? What would be the 3 most amazing things that you could say about the current rom you're using?
carrige said:

Not at all, I dont do off topic.
3 things:
1- The ability to perform a FULL backup to SD that can be reinstated in about 2-3 mins on a good day.
2- Being able to do small customisations like using the rotary lockscreen or the circular battery icon (which trust me is effing kool!).
3- I've had a go on Froyo (gone back to 2.1 for the time being for stability) and in 6 months I'm sure I'll get a go on Gingerbread.
4- A2SD+ means I will never run out of space, not only this I can further customise the ROM with ADB and remove **** I really dont need like 'stocks', 'peep' & 'Friendstream' (I ****ing hate twitter with a passion).
5- You can stick 5 up your arse.
Since rooting my phone has felt complete (even tho I've flashed it about 100 times in the past 23 hours), stable.. more unique, solid, cool, better.
I remember when I had my PSP and I butchered my only battery to make a pandora and got the m33 custom firmware on it. This is the same thing.
It makes the boundries clearer about who the device belongs to.. I'll give you a clue... it's MINE.

Hmmm ... so let me summarize:
[BACKGROUD: I had a G1 and flashed it countless times, I know how the game goes]
1. why would you need that on a rock solid device? Backups areonly needed if you feel unsecure, if you flash it over and over again, so you can go back if something goes wrong.
2. OK, I get it, but this one is soooo small, it's not worth counting. Not worth the risk (don't tell me it's risk free because it NEVER is)
3. so you don't even get the benefits of Froyo but you (maybe) lose Sense. I for one love Sense.
4. OK, that is ONE. (I already stated thiswould bea reason).
So, bottom line, you are saying CUSTOMIZATION. Hmmm, not worth the risk IMHO.
P.S. I'm not trying to play smart, I'm doing this for the sake of arguments / counterarguments.
P.P.S. If you feel we are going off-topic here please say and I will start a new thread.
There's no such things as offtopic on an oursoul thread okay.
1- True say, cos obviously if you've rooted you're gonna try some crazy **** sometimes, its just good to know that with the Recovery patched you will never completely **** it up. And the backup just means that when you've made that perfect setup you can freeze it in case you have to replace your handset or unroot for any reason. Means you can Test a new ROM and if you dont like you can recover in minutes to your happyROM.
2- Come on mate, its ****ing cool.. I hate the Sense lockscreen, its bollocks.. I like the rotary one personally .. round and round hehe. This point was more than that, its about pure customisation.
4- Yeah you mentioned that but I added the fact that you can also delete **** you dont need, very good imo.
3- I said test Froyo, I'm not interested in keeping it cos I love sense too.. I might have kept Froyo if the N1 camera app wasn't so shoddy. I already miss my c905 camera quality. I love how on the MoDaCo rom you can move the homescreens about in 'helicopter' view
PS dont worry about it bruv, you're safe with me..
It really isn't that hard to root as long as you follow the instructions on the top of the Dev page here.
I had to have my goldcard in to root, but it was easy.. then applying the UnrEVOked Recovery patch was just the icing on the cake.
Point I wanna make now, is my phone is now better than yours pascanu

Yeah, yeah, I know. Still, I don't feel like going through the "pain" if my phone performs SO well. The G1 was a completely different story, it needed to be rooted to make it a true Android phone. When I got my Desire I was (and still am!) blown away by the speed and all those things it could do right out of the box. I don't know, maybe I'm just getting old, but at some point I'm wondering if I'm actually using the phone or just trying to make it do things.

Oh NO, it's not! Mine is better for a lot of reasons! Want one? BECAUSE IT'S SITTING RIGHT NEXT TO ME.
BACK ON TOPIC (beware, I changed the topic now):
You still haven't convinced me. Anybody else would like to take a shot here?!
P.S. I'm surprised Market Enabler didn't show up as a reason to root. Maybe you are all Brits or whatever but for a lot of us Market only offers free stuff. But I decided it's not a reason to root since I can find everything I need on the "dark side". Sorry developers, I know it's not your fault but it's not mine either. If Google enables payed apps for Romania I will start buying again. Until then I'm a pirate!
I've got to admit, as someone that constantly flashed roms to my HTC Magic, I was very happy on the stock desire rom aside from the running out of storage issue. HTC did a good job. If the phone had enough storage I would still be running the stock rom now. I don't see any real reason to root other than the lack of phone storage. Froyo roms still don't work properly anyway - for me they ALL have an echo on the line. I would stay with stock if you are happy, don't crumble under the peer pressure!!
So I've been trying to figure out how to get a custom ROM on the Verizon version.
So could we possibly dd backup the system, extract, modify and then re-dd restore the *.img?
I'm spit balling here and correct me if I'm wrong. I've done a dd backup and modified my system and dd restored to pre-modified state with no problem, [as long as the boot loader isn't touched] so we could have mods made that way?
Does any of this make sense? It does to me.

There could easily be custom stock based roms for this phone which I'd love to see since the Verizon regime decided to fut buck everyone's party and horrifically lock the hell outta the boot loaders. I'd love to see someone hack the sh.t outta this thing or make another "bump" like deal ya know , especially since my g3 committed suicide the other day and the screen is destroyed leaving my flash addiction naked and cold in the dark lol. The problem is it seems any good devs have just given up on this model and I'm far from that smart myself. I'll test any toys if anyone bothers to put the time into it as long as they don't touch that sick twisted demented bootie blowing everyone's bag of blow on the floor like an accidentally flipped ceiling fan switch lol.

Check the Verizon forum.
I wonder why google has made it so simple to unlock the bootloader on the Google Play version of the Pixel phones while at the same time they are supposedly pushing so hard to make achieving root more difficult with Android 7?
Is there any benefit of having an unlocked bootloader without root access? If so what is it?
Flashing factory images instantly is one benefit.

Root was achieved on Nougat when it was in beta. It's the new partition layout of the pixel that makes the current method unusable. But the guy behind SU gets one soon and will figure it out. Things change. They aren't making it harder. If they wanted to make it harder they would lock the bootloader down like Verizon.

I don't know how valid they are but I've read several articles claiming the Google is purposely trying to make it more difficult for devs to accomplish root. If that is true it doesn't make any sense that the bootloader isn't locked down right outta the gate. Idk. Just hope we get root for these things soon. I spent forever on at&t with both a galaxy s 4 and a note 4, waiting for ever for root, which as far as I know never came. If it did it wasn't until after I moved on. I hope that doesnt happen with the pixels.

As long as you have the google store version it's just a matter of time. I'm guessing by December. When the layout of a device changes as drastically as the pixel it takes the devs behind the exploits to rewrite code. Chain fire stated somewhere I read that he was only waiting for it to ship to him and then he will start coding for it. Also devs like beanstown are getting one in November and then purenexus Roms will follow. Beans stated specifically he was not getting the device if those rumors were true and he is getting the device. It means that google is releasing the source. They all ready released kernel source as I see despair has a kernel in the dev section. This all means that it can and will be done. Just be patient. Google store devices get all the attention. The pixel will be no different.
Everything will be fine, most odd the devs don't even have the phone yet. Chainfire will figure it out, once we figure out out the partition layouts, its just a matter of time before we can flash twrp, which allows us to flash su.. . All in time my good friends. Blame Google for their slow shipping times
Skipsoft made it sound like Root was already available but wasn't getting enabled/released until after TWRP is released.
I sort of thought that was weird.
After reading this thread, I'm bummed out.
Didn't realize we were still waiting on Chainsoft, et.all. to get the phone still.
My XL arrived today and there are a few dozen apps I can't install until after Root is available.
Ugh.

I just wanted to ask a simple question, who here still use marshmallow ROMs , which ones and why ?
The reason why I ask because for some time now I've been wanting to go back for xposed of course and other features like theme engines and so on.
Has anyone felt like this and ended up reverting back ?
Should I do it ?
Please let me know. Thank you ! :good:

I just unboxed my 5x planning on staying on 6.0 was a long time apple user until I finally got fed up. If there is one thing that I learned it is definitely dont update until you can be sure that you won't lose any fucntionality (obviously)
Potentially looking to Root but still evaluating the cost/benefit. Learning some cool stuff. Just thinking about the possibility of apps that I use everyday not working.

Woah ! That's nice to know. Congrats on your switch and welcome to the wonderful world of Android. Lol
I totally understand about being fed up with apple. And tbh with updating android you will gain functionally but also lose abilities to use certain things such as mods and apps that haven't been updated. It can both be a win and or a lose. But not too major.
And for a new comer to an Android device I'd say stay stock right now. Get to know your device and read all over XDA on the potential and great things your device is capable of.
Once you get through that your first step is to root and then choose your ROM and mods.
Xposed will be your main go to for mods.
Thanks for you input BTW good luck on your new device ! :good:
I would go back to Android 5.1.1.
It is the best and most optimized version made.

I appreciate this. It is a refreshing change from apple, whom in my opinion locks you into their singular way of doing things and users dont really have the freedom to opt out. New exploits are patched within days, old firmware stops being signed by apple within about a week so that once you update you can never go back. They are making things really tough for the jailbreak community, which is ultimately the reason I chose to switch. So far, I really like my 5x. Only issue I am worried about right now is battery life and not making it thru a full day. I taken measures in order to reduce power consumption, but theres only so much you can do as you know.

I agree with what you are saying. Knowing in the past I learned how to build. It's fun and difficult.
That being said, the best builders in the game haven't even been able to build and release anything. Not even a stock sneak peek aosp 10. So what makes you think a noob can build one himself?
I could be wrong, there could be aosp 10 that are built and shared in different channels that I'm aware of.
I see you wrote your post in caps so that blind people like myself could read it. Kudos to you my fine sir. I feel included for once

I saw a lineage 17 build on afh but can't get the damn thing to boot, none of the available 10 gapps zips work either.

Yeah saw that as well... couldn't get it to work either. Plus TWRP was acting real wonkey with anything A-10 related. Still gotta play the waiting game I guess.
Although, I did find that new "e" rom on afh with the whole microG thing so been playing with that. First time with all the Nani Droid microG stuff... something new to keep me busy and hold me over for now ?
EDIT: Yard work all day so screw the singing....for now MWAHAHAHA!!!
Is this the place to vent about a10 or about the pixel in general? Because if it's the latter I hate the way it's like the iPhone. When I hold it wrong during a phone call it just loses signal completely. Or something. Well no, let's just say I can still hear the other party but they can't hear me. Put it in the other hand, squeeze differently and it works. Just as **** as apple.
