Now I came from htc EVO category and rooting was the norm.. The biggest reason was because the froyo rom looked terrible.. other Roms sped up the EVO and increased batt life.. On this phone however the ics is amazing the batt life is great and the speed is fine... So why tweek and accidently break something while rooting?? I've looked through the dev roms and they all seem the same..

Better battery life, more speed, more memory, extended quick settings, simple tweaks that make the UI better, multi-tasking fixes, landscape rosie, infinite rosie, smoother scrolling, battery bar tweaks, status bar tweaks in general, button remapping, getting around the Apple patent crap, overclocking capabilities, dual core modifications, screen off profiles, ability to tether, ability to backup apps and data with Titanium Backup, and much, much more.

And possibly bricking your phone and having to fork out 150 bucks for a new phone. Sure you can do it for the split sec speed adjustment, because you can lol? Is it really worth it? And trust me I was a flashoholic on EVO . I can def see rooted users running into issues with system updates..

I have the same problem!! thanks for your reply.
If rooting isn't for you and you're just gonna talking about the risks then why are you here? You already know what comes with root and the things you can do..if you're happy without it then that's great. it isn't necessary to bang on anyone who chooses to root for whatever reason they choose.
Most people who root aren't gonna run into issues with "system updates".
I root because I like to have control of what apps are on my phone, whats running and what isn't. What's jacking my data and killing my battery. I like using adfree to block some of the more annoying ads .. I like the tweaks, I like the option of de-bloating, I like (if we get it) AOSP options like CM9 and MIUI, I like the ability to theme and change status bar icons/notification pulldown etc etc. I root more for the customization than the performance boost, because honestly, there isn't much but it is there.
Later in the life of the phone, I really enjoy the ports from newer phones and newer software..gives me a taste of what another phone might be like and if it's worth my time. The funny thing is, the Sense4 port on the evo3D ran better than this phone at first..but it has settled down and cleaned up since, with the help of root.

Most the bloatware on this phone isn't that problematic.. it doesn't chew up CPU usage or batt life from the graphs I monitor?? Why am I here?

Flipz was on the evo. Did you know the Evo devs before you flashed their roms? This is my 4th android phone, all rooted. I wouldn't hesitate a bit to root again even if I somehow bricked my phone. I know the risks, you have to do something pretty silly to hard brick your phone.
This isn't some unknown bootleg pirate website, XDA is legit as it gets and most devs are recognized in one way or another.

You know that these phones have auto correct right? I'd make more use of it seeing as how accesseries isn't a word. Anyway I found that ad away is more than a good reason to root.
Sent from my EVO
I came from the 3D, and before that, the original Evo 4G. I rooted my 4G a few months after getting it, when I discovered the development community. I then proceeded to install just about every ROM that got released, regardless of what it was. I ran that poor phone into the ground with the amount of flashing I did.
I then moved on to the 3D, which I rooted just as soon as it was charged enough. I got lucky and got an hboot 1.4 version (I bought the phone right after this last Christmas). By the end of that day I was running on Warm 2.3. The following weeks found me trying out tons of different ICS ROMs, and whatever was available. I stuck with that phone until this phone released.
When I first got the phone, I wasn't sure whether or not I wanted to root it. I knew that there were some benefits to rooting and installing a custom ROM but I just didn't feel that it was worth it anymore. I used to flash a ROM (or two) a day, but now I don't even feel like rooting my phone. Why not?
I got tired of the hassle involved. It's great fun to try different ROMs, but it's so much to keep track of that it makes using the phone almost like a chore. Having to check for tiny updates every day in order to get the best experience is cool at first, but after a while the effect started to wear off on me. At this point I don't really see the merit in installing a custom ROM that will give me a couple of extra features. Sure, quick settings is cool. But I haven't had a single performance issue, the multitasking doesn't bother me, and the battery life is stellar. My benchmark scores are just about the same as other ROMs, and I'm sure my battery life is as well.
Rooting isn't for everybody. It certainly is something that I enjoy, and I am sure that I will eventually root this phone. But I've found in this past month or so that I can enjoy my phone just fine without changing every little bit about it. This phone is a great device, that I believe doesn't require rooting to enjoy. I personally feel that the only potential that can be brought out is in regards to Jellybean, since it is a step above ICS and we don't have it yet.
All of that being said, once we have a somewhat stable JB build, I will root and install that, because I want to try it. But OP, don't feel bad if you don't want to root. It isn't something you HAVE to do in order to enjoy your phone. Don't let other people tell you that you're stupid for not rooting it. Sure, it's a nice thing to be able to do, and I love it, but if you can't find a reason to root on your own, I would suggest that you don't do it. I know I won't until I can find that reason (JB).

3. is wifi tether working and is there like any fixes or mods that are recommended
for now i think thats all i need to get started so any input is welcome and i thank you guys for your help!!

Aroot is the best rooting option and it allows non market app installation. No roms yet but you can use setcpu to underclock and save battery. Just some tips on battery life...if you are having less than expected battery life try a full charge while the phone if off and if you still are having problems, fully charge your phone and do a hard reset. These seemed to have helped many users expieriencing any problems. Most of all though, enjoy your new beast!

OK guys thanks alot for your help ill pass it on to my friend for reference!!! any more advice is welcomed!!
What's up guys. I need some help picking the best ROM for me. I know there's tons of them on here, by I'm a novice to Android, and honestly don't even really get te difference between firmware and a ROM. I want some very specific feature which is also why I made this thread seeking your help.
I'm an old iPhone user.. did all the jailbreaking and all myself and even though I think the TB is better than my old iPhone I would love to incorporate some of the "fluidity" it had. Specifically I'm looking a ROM that wouldn't interrupt my music when I get a text to play to notification sound, instead play it on top of the song playing at the moment. I would also like to initiate access the play/pause skip buttons without having to unlock my TB, like double pressing the home button on an iPhone and the play buttons pop up even if you weren't playing any music.
The last and most important to me would be this one: on the iPhone there is a security option that if you have a password set and let's say the phone is stolen and someone tries unlocking the phone more than an allowed number of times(set by the user) it erases EVERYTHING on the phone. These are all I can think off right now. Like I said, I'm a novice to Android and I will appreciate any help and advice I can get. I already had my TB rooted but I just updated the verizon firmware on my TB not knowing that it would un-root it.. so I'm trying to find a ROM ASAP.
Thanks
Edit: I would also like to make my TB run on gingerbread and improve the battery life.
I suggest BAMF roms. I'd give you the website link but I may get banned for it.

It's really about trying them out for yourself. Alot of what you want is available through apps. Not even sure you need to root.
As far as bamf ROMs, they decided to leave xda but if you google them, you should find them.
XDA does not like you linking other sites that do the same thing.
I suggest them because they ate always updating their roms, they have a good group of people happy to assist you, and the roms are just really well done. Chingy does great work too. But apparently posting to another forum gets you banned these days. Google "Team BAMF". :-]

it is against the rules on xda, and its their site.
OP, I've been using gingertheory, which is a gb rom with a hybrid sense of 3.0 and 2.1. Very smooth and fast. The same dev also makes a senseless version of GB that is very light and you can add custom lockscreen to that can have audio controls.

The one that fits your needs the best, which may or may not reflect the opinions of those in the thread. In short, you need to research and/or try many different ones. The lazy way of asking others won't give you the best results.
Synergy is my favorite. I've tried CM7, BAMF 3.0, Gingertheory, Injectedtheory, and Tesla Coil.
CM7 was my second fav, but Synergy was just farther ahead in development. They are doing nightlys now and things are very smooth. Running on the newest leaked GB base and radio, and it runs on ziggys kernel, which seems to be second to none.

Now that Netflix has officially come out for the Thunderbolt, I am sticking with the official MR2 ROM that is the same as stock but rooted and deodexed. All of the apps I want to run work fine plus I have root for things like Titanium, LBE Privacy Guard, SetCPU and VNC so I see no reason to change. I was considering it for Netflix but since that works fine there is no need to. Perhaps when the other roms have stable releases rather than just nightlies/betas/RCs I will switch to a custom rom.

Hey guys! I'm excited to be here and I hope I get some good advice. (Who am I kidding? I KNOW I will!)
Anyway, I recently bought my HTC Amaze 4g for T-Mobile and I think I am in love. But I soon realized that I was getting about 2 hours of moderately heavy battery usage before it was giving me battery warnings. So I rooted, and installed Android Revolution HD 1.1.0 and my battery life has been much better. But, being the impatient newbie I am, I installed it before I read that it was a bit out of date. Basically, what I want is a ROM that is up-to-date, highly supported, has great battery life, is very fast, doesn't have a
sht load of bloatware, and is extremely stable. Hopefully this isn't asking to much from the developers here at XDA. So, any of you had this sort of experience with a ROM?
Thanks guys!
i say go with xboarders bulletproof rom, he will be updating it probably today, i was so impatient i just flashed w/e he has up now, and its amazing!, as for as battery life goes, i cant say anything as of yet. Only had the rom running for a few hours.

+1 thanks for the quick reply! I will look at bulletproof. Maybe you could get back to me when you know about battery?
My opinion is one of xboarders since they are based on the most recent firmware and are pretty stable.
If you want Sense use Bulletproof.
It has CRT animation and a fixed advanced power menu.
If you want AOSP-like (still technically Sense... just some HTC stuff removed like Rosie) use BeastMod.
Also with CRT and advanced power menu (i believe).
As far as I know he is the only developer that actually owns the device and is good at maintaining the support in his forums. It's difficult to support and keep up to date with a device that you don't own. That's probably why Android Revolution HD 1.1.0 is out of date.
That's just my opinion.

Lol I didn't want to wait either, but I was so tempted. I had to flash it. Totally worth it, I had wifi bug, instead of posting around like a noob I read and saw I had to flash boot that was provided with the rom, I say go for it. Its really stable and INSANELY SMOOTHLY

Ugh... now I can't use WiFi. I flashed the stock kernel. Twice. It worked the first time on Revolution. Hmmm...
Okay got it working. Just had to flash another kernel.
Try ics rom for amaze ..aka fourth bar sense rom.. its great on battery and boots faster..phones seems to be faster. Only thing ur prolly Gna miss is the HTC sense..everything else works great. Hope u like it . Also use easy kernel flasher from the forum to flash the kernel and ur not Gna have any issues with anything..

What is it that you expect from a kernel developer? Also, do any of you run gingerbread as of the moment? I only ask because I am trying to take on the task of being a new contributor to this site. I want to contribute by giving you folks kernels. I'm nowhere near done. I am learning, but I feel like I should ask this now. To reiterate, I'm a noob trying to learn, and I’m curious as to what you guys want/see.
i simply want to know what you folks see in a kernel developer, and what you expect from one. While I am typing this, I am fairly nervous of the future responses. I already understand that I violated the rules of XDA by posting this question in general. I am willing to suffer the consequences for my actions as well.
I am simply curious at what you guys think.

Wow, I think its great what you're doing. Thanks.
I'm still running GB because everything works. I guess that's what I'd want in a kernel. A kernel that will run ICS where everything works including all 3D.
Your avatar is cool.
I think it's awesome that you're stepping up to the plate, I think you should make one to your liking 1st & then branch out from there.
If I could muster up the free time to study, I'd like to do the same.

Just be careful if you make something truly amazing.....
Just saying...
I'd say make stuff for you and not what other people want. If YOU want a specific feature put it in there.
The problem with making it with what other people want, is their is essentially less motivation to do it, the works harder, and you get regular users complaining about your work because it's not how "they" want it.
Enjoy your learning man!

What chad did was this: he made a kernel the way HE wanted it. He shared it with a few others, who about 1 month later pushed him to post on xda.
Bottom line: make it the way YOU want it
I think most people are concerned with battery life and performance. But...like everyone said, make it how you want it. What do you want most out of your phone?

So far only two kernel's have impressed me the most.....RCMix kernels (from the desire HD days) and anthrax kernel on the 3D, nothing else has even come close to those two in my opinion.
That's what -I- expect from a kernel.....
what you give will benefit the community surely, so don't let individuals dictate development.....the developers should do that, because at the end of the day....after the dust settles and all is done, it will be the same as what we all want (apart from things like usb host), so welcome and if anybody gives you a hard time, just stick the treasured two finger salute
since you asked... stability. no bs that makes your phone a million times faster or adds couple megapixels to your cam while at the same time adding features that don't even work on most roms.
personally just a kernel that focuses on battery that will be awesome.

If that's in reference to KlQuicksall, the only person I know that brands their kernels RCMix. He's my friend that's helping me learn kernel developing. Hahaha :-D

I would agree with the consensus: make something that:
1) is reliable
2) has great battery life
3) has good performance
The order is important.

Definitely this.
Sadly most of xda do not have the same opinions for what makes a great kernel.

hahahaha my psychic powers right there =P, now you're already my fav kernel dev on xda before you do anything =P
they were brilliant on RCmix ROMs and ARHD ROMs
IMO
You won't make everyone happy as the little bugs that make something work for one phone, but, borked for another.
Secondly, I prefer ICS over GB. Just preference.
However, you asked, and this is what I like:
1) Stability
2) Performance in the area of smooth graphics (choppiness sucks)
3) Battery tweaks
4) Something for GSM and CDMA users.
In that order. I don't overclock simply because it's not really needed. I run a stock speed and have smoother graphics with the LeeDroid tweaks on Booster Shot ICS than I did with LeeDroid tweaks on any overclocked GB ROM I ran. Why go 100 mph when going 70 gets you to the same destination and in roughly the same amount of time and using less gas?
I would like to tell you something like this:
1. All things working
2. Great battery life
3. Smooth and fast
4. Compatible with both gsm and cdma..
Does it look like too much request?

As much I want to keep MeanROM as my daily, I simply can't cause the battery isnt as good as flex's rom, Its night and day. Dont get me wrong i loved what MeanROM did for the EVO 3d, but for the EVO lte, I think it needs more time to evolve.

its hard to beat flex's stock with goodies ROM. That is if you like Sense. Battery life is great and barely any glitches.

Try all of them for a few days, there is no "better" ROM.
I chose flex simply for the enhanced stock path. It's great for "me" but maybe MeanROM, Joel's, Chameleon or ___ might be your best bet.

I installed MeanROM 0.3 last night before going to bed. Today I went from full to 60% faster than I expected this morning, but since then it has gone from 60 to 30% much more slowly. I am definitely going to give it a little time to "settle in" and see how it goes. Plus, given Mikey's history, it'll be on 0.5 or 0.6 by the end of the week Which is why you can't say one is "better" than the other right now - both are still evolving pretty rapidly.
But, maybe I'll give Flex360's a try right now as a point of comparison.
I've run pretty much all of the roms available and am on mean rom since last night..it seems to be running well..I ran omjs for a while and that was nice and smooth ..imho I dont notice much difference between them but maybe that's just bc I dont know what I'm looking for? One thing I dont like is the show JavaScript console bar and do.t understand its usefulness...and it blocks out my status bar even at the top ..

Im most definitely going to keep it on the rest of the day to let it "settle in" which is a myth I don't believe in. I get great battery from flex's rom without the "settling in" period.

Then I guess u know what Rom U want to run..I flashed mean rom.and clearly watched as it settled in over a few hours and reboots..at first it was a little choppy and now its super smooth..so call it what u want..I didn't experience this on flexs rom but that's prob bc its a stock rom with no changes to the framework..btw I'm not choosing sides I really liked flexs Rom..and am very surprised that an average user has made one of most popular roms available..he must of been hiding his skills ..def impressed

Don't be surprised, Im also learning the in and outs of creating a rom and it's really rather easy when the framework is already intact. Cut and paste becomes your best friend, ask permission to use other peoples mods, bada boom bada bing you have a rom and im a freaking developer

Precisely. Anyone claiming one ROM is the "best" ROM at this point is just biased. They all are based on the exact same software--except for AOSP--and do virtually the same things and have the same tweaks. There isn't enough diversity at this point to crown one ROM "the best."
i think right now i think that pkmn rom is ahead by a little bit only because it has a leetroid like app that allows you to customise the look and feel of the app. lots of things you would normally edit something for is just a checkbox away
