Hi guy's
I'm running sense 3.0 and latest Android version from HTC. My phone is not rooted at all, but I would like to root my phone but still keep the update from HTC can I do that I don't want to put any other Rom's on at the moment but may do so in the future.
So can this be done?
If so what would need to do any help would be greatfull, so many things to look at on xda just don't know where to start.
Thanks again guys

You can root your phone and istall a custom ROM with sense 3.0. You can find plenty of room that are basically stock, just rooted, meaning everything is the same like the one you are running now except superuser and busybox have been added.

Thank you for the fast reply bud
So which are the top 3 Rom's to look at the way I would like then?
There are so many and what app that helps install the Rom's and does a back up of the HTC Rom now so I can go back to if I need to.
Sorry to ask just like to make Shaw I'm doing things right.
Thanks bud

Hi all, the time has come to ask some questions about all things droid desire..
first will bring you up to speed with where im at.. prior to my desire i had only ever used windows mobile based handsets.. have had the desire for just over a month so although i have picked up a lot, mainly on this forum, im still greener than a green thing..
as soon i got the phone i rooted the phone ( failed to back up the stock rom from orange ) using this guide http://nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/05/how-to-root-your-htc-desire/
i used the files suggested by the guide to root my phone.
im now aware that the rom does not allow over the air updates and im currently stuck on 1.5 version. i have tried 1 or 2 other roms at 2.2 ver but im not overlly impressed with them.
ideally i would like a stock orange rom for warranty reasons, will make a fresh post requesting people who have not rooted their orange phone to make a back up.
also i would like to know where i could find a sense based rom or how to add the sense features to a custom rom...
i agree that not all the sense ui features are every ones liking but i actually prefer some of them to the base droid ones..
Un rooting to stock is simples!
see here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189
as for looking for a ROM based on sense, i was under the impressing that all 'stock' ROMs use HTC sense
Thanks for that, the stock Rom is for warranty reasons
the desire sense UI stuff I was on about was regarding the newer custom Roms people are making. I really like some of them but would like to retain some of the stock features. Or know how to re install them to peoples custom roms.
I might be getting my terms mixed up.
Basically I like the stock keyboard, phone dialer. An all the roms I have tried miss these.

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

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+
Am going to try leedroid that seems the best out there from what I read

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

My desire hd is running 2.3.3 now and I want to root my phone without downgrading because I don't know how to downgrade.
So my question is. Can I root my desire hd without downgrading or is my firmware too high?
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
without downgrade is impossible
Doesnt the advanced ace hack work?
If not do you think there will be a direct root for 2.3.3 soon?
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
I'm pretty sure the only possible way is the downgrade.
There is not really any point in devs looking into rooting 2.3 as you can do a simple downgrade.
It's not hard read some info and go for it.

Do you like sense? If so flash RCMix3d Runny v1.5
If you want stock android flash cyanogenmod

i pesonally would use the cyanogenmod wiki to root, but its your choice. and im pretty sure youll need a custom rom to flash a kernel that supports overclocking. i doubt anyone makes modded stock kernels. i would use icecold sandwich and it has built in up to 2.03ghz

I Guess If You Root You Cant Receive any official updates
Its tricky...you benefit a Lot more from rooting than if not...if your woriied about losing stock there are rooted untouched roms in the Dev section then you can overclock etc...I'd go that route..even when HTC release sense and ics a variant rooted version of that will be on here anyway...stocks okay but if your overclocking then you have more of a genuine interest in what you want your phone to be doing so in that respect also you will become just like most people and flashing till you get what you want

Thanks for all the useful information mates. I have heard that all the ics customs roms have bugs like camera, video playback, touch problem etc. So i will root my desire hd for over clocking after getting the bug free rom. And can anyone suggest me some good apps for Desire hd.
Thanks in advance .....
