Question about rooting.... - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry if this has been asked before, but i cant seem to find the right answer.
But i have an ATT nexus one and wanted to root the phone so i can use the SETCPU app and app2sd.
The question is do i have to install a custom rom when rooting and using those apps? Or Can i just root and use my stock rom that came with the n1.
Thank you and sorry if its a dumb question.

I'm not sure about apps2sd (i don't use it)...but you can use setcpu for sure.

Setcpu requires root access and apps2sd has to be enabled in the rom but your stock rom wont have it.

got it thank you! well i guess ill have setcpu for now....
dont want to dabble with custom roms yet......maybe soon. thank you again!

[Q] Rooting and Me

Hi Guys,
Did have a search but I'm not sure i speak the same language as some of the posts I tried to read
Woke up this morning and thought I'd have a fiddle with my Nexus. I'd used Androot to get root. I downloaded ROm Manager....flashed Clockwork recovery, and flashed a few roms....
Here are my questions:
Is that it? Is that how to Flash ROMs?
When I flashed FRF91 Stock Nexus ROM super user wouldn't give me root...ideas?
What's the most frequently used ROM, and can I flash it this way
finally...Am I missing anything or is that all I need to do?
Cheers for help. Not a smartphone noob, but seems I'm an Android noob
I know it's a noob couple of questions but if somebody could help I'd be very appreciative. Thanks
Read the forums. Then ask very specific questions.
2.2.1 was released to block root exploits by U. Androot. Search for rageagainstthecage in the forums or more simply "root F****" please replace asterisks with actual build.
PS: Is there more to Modding? That's subjective. Objectively ...post issues so devs know.

Basically I was asking if the way in which I was flashing was correct but yeah you did help. Will look for the 2.2.1 rooted build

Oh boy.... Another one of these threads.
Short answer.... PICK one, they are all better than stock. There are so many roms out there that only YOU can judge what you want and need in a rom.
Everyone will have a different answer for you. For instance I say Firefly, but only because it works for me
You can't go wrong choosing any of them.

Anything other than JI6, that leaky rom is junk.
Caution swyping! Read at your own risk.

That is unanswerable every single phone is different, and people have widely different tastes. The trick is finding a rom that works best FOR YOU.

dude, youre takin this a little too seriously, im just lookin for a good suggestion to start with, and i know every phone is different, thats why i put what phone i have. thanks
LMAO........
The suggestions are to try them out yourself........
They are all better than stock........
You have to figure it out for yourself..........
And he meant that every Captivate is different.......If you did some more reading...you would know what he meant........
The "all in one place" is the first 3 pages of the dev section........http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=706 any thread that starts with [ROM] is what your looking at
if you want a fast rom i would recommend the cyanogen mod 7.
people talk about how its unstable and has bad battery life
but its all wrong,,,
from my experience cm7 has been a stable like all the other roms but just faster..
It's the fastest you'll ever get right now and it has all different customization you can do.
so try it out.
Might want to try cm6 its outdated but fast and more reliable

ya, any file i put on the root of the phone gives me the same answer, whether its cwm or update.zip
You have 3E recovery.
The easiest way to get around it is to Flash the .tar version of speedmod with the full version of odin.
This only works on 2.2 If you need any more help. I will be around for a bit.

good answer! but if you are on 2.1 you can put the new rom on the sd card first and then flash speedmod. it wont boot into the rom but will give you recovery to flash the new rom.
yes, no need to root just odin flash speedmod then flash a rom.
if you want complete and reliable and well polished then flash andromeda, it's a bit older version of 2.2 but the work was great.
if you want super fast flash something that says js8, i hear the paragon rom has a great kernel. id say cm7 but maybe you should work up to that, it isn't hard but you need odin to flash back if you have problems, there aren't any 2.2 kernels or roms with the proper update script and binary to be flashed from the recovery that cm7 uses.

Nice. That makes sense that it will work.
OCLF (one click lagfix) use ext2. Titanium or some system app remover app to get rid of bloat and you should be good to go. At the end of the day different ROMs and such are for asthetics... no one has over 340 mg of Ram available so performance not much different from one to the next once lagfix installed. Until you OC/UV and that is tuff to maintain stability with.
Now we all know that there are no "Best Rom" threads but sense this one has changed course ill leave it open.
Each rom runs differently for each person. This is due to the many different ways we each use our phones. Once you get the hang of it, try out a few and find your favorite. Good luck on your quest.

Questions pertaining to specific roms should be asked in their thread. Most times you're not the only one that's had that problem and it's already been addressed. That translates into search and read.

[Q] g1 rooted with androot now which rom

just rooted g1 on 1.6 with androot and installed rom manager do i still need to upgrade the radio. i want to run 2.2 and possibly overclock it any help would be great
There are numerous Froyo ROMs available in the development forum. Each with their instructions on how to install them and the requirements beforehand.
Most of these ROMs will have settings which you can use to overclock. If you are rooted, which you'll need to be, then overclocking wouldn't be too difficult with the available apps already out there anyway.
depends on which rom you want.
I recommend Sparksmod 2.1 which is what i am currently using.
Its very fast , one of the best froyo roms out there.
OH and ive recently been hereing a lot of good things about superaosp dm rom, I might actually try it myself, if i do ill let you know how good it is.

SuperAosp is lighting fast. I am using it myself, and I garantee it works like a charm. See my sig for the link to the Developer site. (FYI it's in Spanish, so you'll have to translate it if you do not read Spanish).
Thanks guys I appreciate all the info. I just need a little help for a friend. I didn't want to flash a Rom on his phone and him being a noob have a bunch of stuff crash and him get nervous about trying roms. Since I don't have a g1 I haven't tried any roms for it. Really appreciate your quick responses.

The best thing to do is read the instruction until you understand what needs to be done. Once you feel comfortable and understand the DEV instruction. Then there should not be any problem.
Maybe let your friend trial a couple of ROM's before he settles on his preference?

[Q] Please help me out guys!

A friend of mine asked me to root his phone for him. I personally have a rooted and ROM'ed Samsung Epic so this is not exactly new to me. My first question is what is the best way to root and ROM this phone? After searching around my head is spinning a bit about this. For my Epic I was able to do a one click root that also installed CWM. After that I was able to use Clockwork to flash new ROM's and kernels.Second the reason he gave me for wanting to root was to be able to have WiFi tethering. Am I going to need to install a custom ROM for his phone or is there an app that will give him this feature once we have his phone rooted? Thanks in advance for all of the help!
Quickest, basic answer...
For Root... [APP]SuperOneClick v2.3.2
For the tethering question, he will have to check out a Rom that offers it as one of the options (most do). Don't ask what Rom is recommended, he will have to make the choice depending on his preferences to the specifics offered in a Rom. There are plenty of choices here... Captivate Android Development
Your right about the ROM so I removed the question. I guess I was looking for some recommended ROM's that were stable and everything worked. Thanks!

oneclick root for the GT-I8190?

hi
im a complete noob when it comes to rooting/flashing roms and stuff on android devices (the sticky was top complicated for me to understand). so can anyone give me a one click root application that works with the GT-I8190 with Android 4.1.2? i don't particularly care much for the custom roms, i just want my phone to gain root access. but if you have a rom that'll improve the gaming performance of my device, then please share it with me. and please it won't brick my s3 mini, won't it? i don't want my phone to get bricked.
Hi, look here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459910
