Hi all genius guys,
I got htc dhd running android 2.3. It's not rooted yet. I like to root my phone if it's safe so, I love to test the new sense 3.0. I was wondering how should I root my phone that running android 2.3. Is the new sense 3.0 stable on htc dhd. Can I back up my current ROM and can I recover it back to it's original state incase any problem occurs.
Hope It's making sense. since I don't know much about android.
Many Thanks
Hey, welcome
Have a look here

Second post has a lot of links and info you would need
quick question do you know if you're dhd is vers 2.3.7? If so no root as yet...
Otherwise follow info above , you're apps etc stay with google, so make sure you sync.
You can back up sms , browse the market for that one.
Returning to stock is not too hard, you can find stock ruu's within xda to bring you back to ground...
Most of all read up well , spend some time and then attempt rooting you're phone so as to have a little understanding.
Sense 3.0 is great, you have lots of choices , try 'unity' , very promising, and good support there , personally looking into ' beatmod flyersense' a port of the flyer rom.
Anyway that should get you started.

You can update to 4.0, but trust me, it's just not stable enough. On the other hand, 2.3 is very stable and is suitable for daily use.
But both of these are a no if you're looking for "official" updates.
2. i was going through these forms and i saw a page with Cyanogen Mod 7.0.2 .what exactly is that ?? is it a new version of android??
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
CyanogenMod7 is a custom ROM (Details explained below)
It offers you a lot of customization and general developer support.
3. what is the difference between upgrading a ROM and upgrading android version ??
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
A ROM is essentially a modified unofficial. version of Android. So if your ROM is 2.3, you will upgrade to 2.3. Most of the time they will be better than stock, because they might offer more customization or tweaks not present in the stock ROM.
4. does upgrading the version actually speeds up and gives better performance??

I personally find 2.2 Sense based ROM to be smoother and a bit faster than 2.3.
5. and finally can anybody please help me out with step by step process of upgrading to android 2.3 or if theres a better version for it ??

Because you upgraded to the official 2.2, you have locked down your bootloader (refereed from here on now as "HBOOT")
You will first need to use a tool called Revolutionary to install a custom hboot, that will allow custom ROMs to be installed.
Go to this link: http://revolutionary.io/ and select "Download for Windows"
A .zip file will start downloading and a new form has popped up on the site. Fill it out first.
Plug in your phone and extract the .zip file you downloaded earlier.
Now just run "revolutionary.exe" and follow onscreen instructions.
After that was done succesfully your HBOOT should be version 6.XX...
Now download the HTC Wildfire ClockworkMod recovery from here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122694
And finally in the same topic linked back there scroll down a bit and follow the "To root:" part.
And that's it, you're rooted
Now, boot back into the recovery and select "Backup&restore" and make a backup (needed if you want to go back to your old ROM)
Now after you backed up do a full wipe (inside the recovery)
Afterward put this file on your SD card (assumin you want CyanogenMod): http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/update-cm-7.1.0.1-buzz-signed.zip
Also flash this to get the Market, gmail, ... :http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip

For both yes if you root and use custom roms. 4.0 isn't really stable atm but maybe it will get stable like 2.3

Cyanogenmod or cm is an AOSP ( android open source project ) This is a team of devs that make roms for our htc wildfire. cm 7 is android 2.3

This looks the same because if you upgrade a rom from 2.2 to 2.3 you have also upgraded android. But i guess you mean the difference between just an upgrade an rooting and flash custom software. The difference is that when you just update yo do a little upgrade and nothing more. When flash a NEW rom it just installs a complete new version.

It could. Ofcourse you need to adjust a little with overclocking if you use stock roms. But if you use aosp roms you have a speed up because they are much smaller than the standard roms.

The best is to go to 3xeno his index with all roms and add-ons, because there you find a complete tutorial too.
I hope this was helpfull
This is actually stable (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473344) but is missing lots of features as most haven't been ported from cm7 yet.
On my device it occasionally crashed after making phone calls.
Hi, I recently bought my HTC One X as an early upgrade from my iphone and I absolutely love it. I bought the phone out right unlocked and put my 3 contract sim in it and have been patiently waiting for them to send out the jellybean update but its taking so long. I like my phone the way it is but there are also a lot of features of 4+ that I think would improve it greatly. I've been looking at the "Android Revolution HD 13.0" rom and am seriously considering installing but I'm still not sure. I like having official software on my phone (I've had bad experiences with custom roms in the past) but this rom claims to simply be a tweaked version of the official. Does anyone who has this rom installed recommend going for it? I just can't decide!
Go for it ! Custom ROMs da best especially ARHD from mike1986 . If you want to flash ARHD 13.0 , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32855238&postcount=29798 look into this guide . It summarizes everything .

Thanks for the guide! I'm really thinking of doing it now. All I really want to know though is does this rom do everything that the official one I will receive (eventually) from my network does?
This ROM is just the tweaked version of official ROM which is way better than what you'll be getting from your network .
Hi Experts.
I recently got a HTC One X, it is the UK Orange version, and i live and use it in India.
android ver - 4.04
sense - 4.1
softwre no - 2.17.61.3
htc sdk api - 4.23
kernel - 2.6.39.4
i had installed a custom rom to my Incredible S couple of months back.
and with a lot of courage, i have Rooted my brand new HOX
now.. i really like to know -
1 - which stock like Rom do you experts suggest for my model ( shouldnt be much different from stock, but faster, with mods & without bloatware & Latest)
2 - should i also flash my radio? How? which one?
Any other mods that you suggest for better battery management, faster.
please .. i know that similar questns are asked, but this is more specific.
Post links, and that would suffice
waiting desperately
someone?? anyone?? plz help....
I would recommend the viperX Rom to you from team venom. It's great. Probably the best Rom in the way of tweaks. Download that then do the OTA updates. I also like to recommend the bricked kernel as it has a swipe to wake option and with vipers tweaks you can easily overclock and change frequencies the best ics in my opinion
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
reading the forums i just learnt tht since i have a quadcore processor, it is an international version, and not AT&T or anythng else.
can someone give me the link to the correct forum, so that i can look, check and install anythng tht i want :laugh: without bricking my phone?

I would agree.. ViperX rom is one of the best sense based ROMs out there. There is loads of customisation options.
Also another great ROM would be AndroidRevolution HD.
AndroidRevolution HD --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562603
Team Venom ViperX --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1745176

Give a try to latest insertcoin rom (13).
Furthermore if u want:
In a fileexplorer (es explorer or solid explorer) go to root folder -system-apps and delete unneeded apps with caution (u need to know what u are doing). If u want i can create a minimized version of it 4 u and upload it... (whithout medialink, htc location, video editor, stock wallpapers, without live wallpapers and all that crap - at least i like it without them). Then u'll get a perfectly sleak rom.
I tried maximus rom, venom, renovate, revolution HD...
Believe me, this one is the smoothest around...
So long story short, let me know if you want my lighter version of insertcoin.

when you carrier will release the JB update then you will be able to flash JB roms, at the moment you can only install ICS roms
ok ... thanks.. so now what i understand is...when Orange releases JB, i still wont get the OTA coz i am rooted, but i will be able to Flash JB Roms then.
as of now i can flash any of the ICS roms from this forum.
any roms? do i need to worry about anythng else if i m installing for ex: a viper or rev HD
