Hi guys and great jobs for your rom,
I need your help, i just buy a z1c yesterday and i don't find how to have a recovery i'm on 14.4.A.0.157
I want to get information because as i read, you can't flash another kernel if you have a recovery?
I already unlock the bootloader and that's all. I come for HTC one V.
I wanted to change the stock ROM for Android stock but does it contain inconveniant ?
Thanks for helping me

Hello everyone!
I am planing to root my htc desire hd cause i've read lots of stunning stuff you can do when your phone is rooted.
like using the newest version of android, installing google now and so on..
But my question is, is it possible to stay with my stock firmware (and if possible stock kernel?) somehow
and use one or more custom firmwares with programs like boot manager to find one for daily use?
and what are the disadvantages of using a custom kernel? cause i've read the following, looking through your forums:
In the present case,It is hard to say which kernel is good .All unofficial kernel have the same headphone button issue,and only 5 sensors(DHD have 7 sensors).

If you use AAHK (no idea about HTCDEV method) you can simply do a full image backup of your stock firmware, including your kernel (this is called a nandroid backup), after you've rooted but before you flash a custom ROM. Then, wipe and flash custom firmwares to your heart's content. If you ever want stock back, just restore that backup. I'm not aware of a dual boot manager, though.
Usually, the kernel that came with the firmware (aka ROM) is the best kernel. Devs will post about alternate kernels that are compatible with their ROMs. (Note that if you're planning to use the latest version of Android, Jelly Bean, there is a compatible alternate kernel.)
No idea about those sensors.

Hi Everyone,
I'm fairly new to Android and have been getting used to installing ROMS through CWM etc recently but there is one thing i really don't understand and need some help with
I have a One X locked to 3 (REALLY wish I didn't get my phone with 3) so that means i'm stuck on hboot 1.12.
I've done some research etc and found the tripndroid kernel which allows any hboot to use a sense jellybean ROM and with my limited knowledge i'm not too sure what i have to do to install this kernel.
So my main Questions are:
1. How i would go about installing this kernel with a Jellybean ROM on my phone?
2. What is the best ROM to use?
3. Is it worth it?
Many Thanks in advance to anyone who helps me out here! (sucks being a noob )
Hey guys!
So I have my Xperia M currently running on stock firmware 4.3. Although I am happy with the current firmware with the exception of the low internal storage problem but everything needs to be updated regularly
I joined XDA for the very reason so as to flash a custom ROM for my XM but trust me when I say that you are dealing with a complete noob who is just lost in all the jargon associated with flashing a custom ROM. It means that I will be in need of a detailed guide to help me boot my very first custom firmware :3
Here are some details -
Running stock 4.3 firmware
XM single sim
Bootloader can be unlocked (Need a tutorial to unlock bootloader too)
Device not rooted.
Can anybody help me with this? I'll be happy to read out any existing tutorial threads as such
I was also worried about the storgae limitation within the XM, anyway to bypass it by installing CM12? Also what process do you follow when you take a backup of your device while installing a new firmware?
I am just looking for a stable and beautiful firmware for my aging XM :fingers-crossed:
Thank you for reading! :angel:

Yeah it's better than not being able to experience Lollipop on XM
How's your experience with the new CM12?
Lollipop being the number one thing, the second is the battery life:

Can anyone please help me regarding this? :crying::crying:
Hi everyone, enjoying my awesome M9 like everyone else =D
and its time to move on to the custom rom goodness.
I can't seem to find an answer to the question. (maybe its too obvious? coming from s3)
Mine is a M9 (hong kong), with 1.32.708.15 (s-On) and all the custom roms are 1.32.401.17 based.
Is it safe to Flash it?
This is the only info i managed to find at the ARHD 5.0 OP with regards to the question.
"- If your current firmware version doesn't match ROM firmware version, wiping data inside AROMA is highly recommended!"
Would be nice if I can get some confirmation from you guys.
Yes it is fine right now since it is the same base. Get soff while you can so flashing firmware in the future is easy. Remember always backup first. Use twrp 2864

I did this on the M8 before, I had problems with the wifi and it took ages to boot until I found out that my firmware is old and different from the rom.
Anyway, I did what you are trying to do yesterday, (firmware 15/ rom 17) for a couple of minutes, didnt find any problems.
Before you flash any ROM, BACKUP your system and move it to your PC and use the latest TWRP
Thats good to hear! I'm gonna give it a try once i'm back in town! Thx!
Please Help me!

ONLY. use firmware for your phone. if you flash a gsm firmware on a cdma phone you are asking for trouble, big time.
