Hi all,
this my first time writing on the xda forums though I visit it often. I came across a chunghwa Taiwan ROM for the HTC hero. My question is can this be used in Singapore. I am a HTC hero user in Singapore. Or should I wait for the OTA update to be launched locally.
Thx to all in advance.

Well, thanks for that help. But, I currently do not want to root my hero coz its still under warranty ( may sound lame sorry). I am taling about an official ROM that I found on the xda forums. The prob is that its for taiwan and i do not know if it is safe for me to do here in Singapore. Will cause any compatibility issue.
Ps: I am planning to root in november wen my warranty ends.
Thx
If you ever wish to root, DO NOT INSTALL THE TAIWAN UPDATE.
DO NOT INSTALL ANY 2.1 OFFICIAL UPDATE FROM HTC
[/shout]
Basically, if you do, your plans for rooting in November will be spoiled, as once you install it, you can't root
im from singapore too... trust me just root it... wasting time for waiting officially update in sg is hell zzz... i usually using this 2 rom i most prefer is sense hero *speed, stable & theme* by stickman or villainrom *speed, stable & OTA* from team villain. this 2 is most best recommanded foc rom. as for register memeber for modaco rom *speed+, stable+ & support* using online kitchen also would be prefer. ( i no $$ to register T.T ) <<my personal opinion>>
Does that mean that I can no longer root my phone if i get 2.1? Is there like any security patch that comes together 2.1? Thanks for the info guys. I guess I will just root it. but Is there any issues related to privacy or security risks related to rooted ROMs?
Thx
You can make a goldcard for your phone, then root it. That way you can revert it to its original state for any warranty repairs.
Also, atleast here in norway, if there is a hardware warranty issue they have to fix it, even if its rooted, provided its not a direct result of rooting (Battery drain / overclocking).
Hi guys,
ao which rooted ROM do u guys think is the best for My HTC hero. Will there be any privacy or security related lapses in rooted ROMs? I have heard of VIllainRom. Is that the best possible?
Well, I can't exactly say I'm impartial, but if you are after live help etc. then villainRom may suit you with the irc channel. As for security, I am just as confident with it as I am with HTC stock ROM. I use it myself, as do many thousands of people.
If you are after villain, you can find most stuff either here or at www.villainrom.co.uk
But half the fun is to play with different ROMs and pick what suits you
Nandroid and enjoy

1. Yup, no problem.
2. All a matter of personal preference, just try them out and decide for yourself.
Cheers
Just some words from a pseudo-noob:
I've flashed two roms in my new Galaxy Ace and about 10 roms in my old HTC Touch. I've never bricked my phone and nothing never went wrong or different from the tutorials.
Maybe it's luck, but I have another guess, and I'm posting some tips here:
* I believe most of the time bricking happens is when you interrupt the flashing process;
* So, try to do the flashing process with:
- Phone with full (or almost full) battery;
- Notebook with good battery or Desktop with a good nobreak;
- An stable operating system. Be carefull with softwares that "steals" CPU in the middle of other processes or that asks to reboot your Desktop. The last thing you want is to reboot your PC while flashing a rom.
And the most important, in my opinion:
* Don't be lazy! Read a lot from the forums. Post your doubts and clear them. Be sure you're using the right software and version, the right files etc.
Sometimes we want to test a Rom or a software very quickly but the time we spent to gain some knowledge about it is worth it, it can free us from bigger problems in the future or even from a bricked device.

Hi All,
I am new to this forum and also to this Smartphone world
I am planning to buy Galaxy S2 , but want to use ICS Stock UI ( I can wait for official ICS update or use some ICS ROM ) , but what I want to know is that how can I use default ICS Stock UI on my Galaxy S2.
And another question when we use unofficial ROM on our Android phone , what are the risks we should consider in terms of our personal data security and also the stability of our phone ?
Thanks,
Maverick

If you do some reading around the SGS2 forum, you'll find all of the information you seek. Or you could try google...either way, the powers that be here at XDA aren't very friendly to those who don't bother trying to research, read, or use the search function. I'm trying to be a bit more personable.
At the moment, ICS is in either the Alpha or Beta stage...meaning that it's still buggy and doesn't really function as a daily driver yet.
To get ICS right now, you have to flash a ROM...which involves root access. The risks are pretty high. You have the risk of bricking your phone, if you don't read the instructions and follow them exactly, which isn't always easy because you're not very likely to find exact instructions for your specific phone (the hardware specs will match, but the ROM/Radio/Modem numbers may be different which can lead to confusion). You also run the risk of voiding your warranty, which is a pretty significant one.
I flashed an ICS build yesterday, and then my S2 wouldn't charge. I eventually flashed back (thank God I had made a backup yesterday, and 2 days ago as the one from yesterday didn't work!)
As far as security goes, nothing really to worry about. Dev's don't build in Carrier IQ and don't really want your personal data. But the flip side is, that they don't get paid for what they do...so if you have a problem or 'eff something up, you're pretty much on your own. You can ask for help, but again, sometimes the dev's don't want to be bothered with a question if it's already been answered or if you could've found the answer by searching for it. This is where it gets rude, sometimes.
That's the long answer. The short answer is READ, READ, READ...everything about your phone and flashing ROM's. Start at the beginning of the forum, as that's where the 'stickies' are and work your way thru. ICS will be released officially and stably later.
Hope that helps.
Thanks ,
I have googled it and read some threads on this forum and on others as well... thats how I came to know that you can root your phone with unofficial ICS ROM... but wasn't sure that in that case , will I get ICS with TouchWiz or Stock UI...
And 2nd thing that if I screwed up what will happen to my personal data...
anyhow thanks for replying my (dumb ? ) question
Hello, Im new here, Just heard about XDA and how its the best forum (knowledge-wise) out there. I dont have enough knowledge and experience with smartphones (Im more of a PC freak, building and hardware and stuff) but smartphones are a whole different subject.
lately Im having some "hangings" on my Galaxy Note 2 (N7100, 4.1.2 stock) it started when browsing firefox, and continuing to Whatsapp, it started freezing for a minute or so.. (which is quite a long period of time like u probably know.)
I started checking the whole Root&ROMs subject, and also found out that there's a way to update my phone to Android 4.3 JellyBean.
so here are my q's , What is the most CURRENT stable OFFICIAL OS (from what I saw online there's no 4.4.2 for Isarel-ILO (if it matters at all? Because I've seen a few official EU versions from various countries) and people just get a custom ROM of 4.4.2 to run it and also that quite a few ppl on here had some issues with it and were pretty happy about 4.3. So what do u think ?
also, I will probably need the best ROM for the OS you will recommend next (from what I read ROMs can boost phone performence) but I am not sure about it yet
but I am certain that I'm gonna root my phone, but can u tell me exactly how does rooting help ? I mean in which aspects and such..?
Thank you very much in advance, 73RM1N470R.
** just fyi, I figured I'd hard reset my phone and then update the Android to 4.3/4.4.2 which would help the hanging issue , and then root it. (not 100% sure about the ROMs..)
Hi everyone, I got this phone the last November and I am still waiting the Android 6.0. This phone is quite new, was released on october in the Oriental Market. I personally think that this device is very powerful also if he got the Mediatek Helio X10. Anyway, I would like to know if anyone already have this phone with Android 6.0 or is there is some Modding Rom available for it. I will really appreciate the help from the moderator and from the developer.
Thank you very much for your time and have a nice day
Is there any chance to talk with any developer of the xda forum to ask and maybe help him for make any firmware upgrade? I mean I would like to be happy help us giving what they want like the phone firmware in itself, kernel, everything.
Hi
Need Custom rom for this model HTC M9PX HIAUR_ML_TUHL
Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone of you has or know where I can find the stock original Rom of Taiwan version of my HTC M9+ Supreme Camera Edition. I will prefer find the android 6 version, but does not matter to be honest, also the android 5 is fine. I want just a clean rom without any Chinese useless app.
Thanks in advance.
