There is root for the Hero S, but it doesn't S-OFF (Which turns off security at the lowest level of the phone, aka permanent root), and as far as I can tell there aren't any cutsom roms. Use this guide to root.

When you flash a ROM like Cyanogenmod, does it automatically flash a kernel as part of the package? If not, is there a reason to flash a custom kernel if the stock one for your phone is working fine?

Require More Fire posted:When you flash a ROM like Cyanogenmod, does it automatically flash a kernel as part of the package? If not, is there a reason to flash a custom kernel if the stock one for your phone is working fine? Some ROMs will do it as a package deal, but rarely, and you'll definitely know it. 9 times out of 10 though it's just the ROM. And then you go find a kernel somewhere else. You definitely wouldn't find a ROM/Kernel combo with Motorola since you can't flash a custom kernel on their locked bootloader devices. Custom kernels usually offer tweaked CPU/GPU frequencies/voltages, remove certain portions that the dev deems to be unnecessary, or change other things under the hood. So if you're happy with your battery life, things are running fast and smooth, and you don't want to change anything at all, then no there's really no reason to flash a custom kernel.

This doesn't even make sense. Your phone wouldn't boot if the OS were missing its kernel. I realize the Android dev scene isn't phenomenal, but it's not that bad.

It may be using the stock kernel. He was asking about a custom kernel. Edit: I had to read and re-read what I said and now I see what you guys don't get, and yes I totally could have said it more clearly. Of course your ROM comes with 'a' kernel, but when he asked about a custom kernel I formed my answer around whether or not the ROM will include a custom kernel. So when I said "Some ROMs will do it as a package deal, but rarely, and you'll definitely know it. 9 times out of 10 though it's just the ROM. And then you go find a kernel somewhere else." I meant some ROMs will include a custom kernel, but, at least in my experience, they are usually the stock kernel. And if they do include a custom kernel, you will know it meaning they usually make mention to which kernel is being packaged with the ROM. Wow, I'm sorry, I didn't think I could create that much confusion that quickly. yamdankee fucked around with this message at 20:58 on Apr 26, 2012 |

Some Cyanogenmod releases (OG Droid in particular) overwrite whatever kernel is present. Other releases that don't bring in their own kernel just leave the stock kernel in place.

Franco.kernel released milestone 3 yesterday and LiquidSmooth is on 1.3 now, giving the option to run the stock launcher or apex. Milestone 3 has fixed ALL data drop issues the Galaxy Nexus has had...and from what I can tell its no lie. I haven't had a single data drop since flashing yesterday morning. I now love the Galaxy Nexus, even though it took an aftermarket ROM and Kernel to do so.

This technically has nothing to do with rooting, but since it's a device hack it probably goes here. TeamBlackHat is up to its old shenanigans again. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297714 Taking advantage of the ever-flexible Qualcomm MSM6600 in the recent cadre of Motorola devices, TBH has developed a hack for the Bionic that lets it ride on GSM networks. They're working on hacks for the D3, D4, and Razr as we speak. It's slow to get off the ground but I can personally certify that it works.

Asked this in the general phone thread, but this is probably the more appropriate thread: Anyone else with the T-Mobile USA version of the HTC One S been brave enough to root it yet? The fact that there's only an "interim" version of Clockwordmod Recovery for it makes me hesitate. May just wait for that and/or CM9.

I rooted my GNex yesterday (primarily for adblocking and such), and even though all the guides said "you have to wipe your phone's memory to unlock the bootloader," when I unlocked it everything was peachy keen. Just in case anyone was worried about that. I'm on Android 4.0.4, using a GSM Gnex, for clarity.

Ciabatta posted:So yes, unlocking did wipe your phone, but they may have an automated backup+restore bundled in as well. Bingo. Also from that page: quote:You can also use this program to backup all your user apps, system apps, and app data, and easily restore them later in one click. Not that this isn't a neat feature (it's actually quite awesome), but "Don't worry about your phone being wiped if you unlock" statement deserves a big old "if you use this one specific toolkit correctly" asterisk.

The unlock was instant and didn't wipe anything, as far as I can tell. I know it says it wipes it, but it didn't do jack besides just unlock the bootloader, as far as I can tell.

http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/1963-new-ics-build-61484xt912/ Apparently has a lot of optimizations and fixes some bugs. Note: This isn't like the custom ICS ROMs out for the Razr that chug like crazy because they can't use hardware acceleration, this is an official (test) build. I've been running the previous version for a couple weeks and it works great. Also, this could very well be the final build that they put out since it matches the file size on Verizon's update schedule: http://www.droid-life.com/2012/04/26/verizon-device-update-schedule-leaks-in-full-rezound-razr-and-xoom-details-emerge/ Probably want to avoid it for now, it seems that installing the new ICS leak will screw up fastboot restores for some users, making it impossible to downgrade back to the official releases. Like most things with Android, though, there'll probably be a workaround some time soon. Vertigus fucked around with this message at 04:31 on Apr 28, 2012 |

There are a couple of choices of stuff on his site. The thing on the page I linked you is just a rooted version of the OTA. If you poke around a bit, you can also find his "Bugless Beast" ROM, which is built from 4.0.4 AOSP and has a couple extra features (like notification toggles). I ran the former for a while before switching to the latter, and they both seem to run fine.

Then they'll have to flash in a full system image in order to get poo poo back to normal.

Any CM 7.2 users randomly (50% of the time for me) getting "Forwarded call" displayed on the incoming call screen? I do fwd my work verizon blackberry to my at&t inspire almost all the time, any calls I know should be fwded do display call forwarded, but at least half of all calls I know aren't fwded from my work phone say it too it seems. Is "forwarded call" displaying on incoming call screen an aosp thing? cm thing? something new to 7.2? I really don't remember ever seeing it at all on 7.1, 7.0.3 or stock sense and I've been fwding that bb to my personal forever.

If you like the ICS feel, I think Hypernonsense is a better ROM than Inquisition. Just make sure you grab the add-on pack and install a few essentials. No matter which of the Sense ROMs I try, I always feel buried in crap.

Tried AOKP on my sensation, and it's drat nice indeed. I will admit the unicorn theme is a bit startling at first, but it has some good features (I like the built in circle mod) and battery life is good too. Though I still don't know what the Swagger notification toggle does...

I have be using my rooted Evo with MikMik 3.11 for a couple of days and so far so good. The only thing I have noticed is that Google Maps is consuming battery life all the time. I don't think I have actually launched the application since I got the phone? Does Google Maps have some sort of background service that is always running?
