Is there a ROM I can flash - don't really mind AOSP or Sense - that will allow me to get OTA update as and when released by Google or HTC (dependant on whether it's AOSP or Sense)?
I'm not so bothered about other benefits of flashing custom ROMs etc. I just want the latest version when it's released, without waiting around for my network to put a load of [email protected] on it, and preferably without waiting for HTC either.
Cheers,

might sound like a dumb question:
do I need to flash a radio separate to update it, or will it update when I use the latest rom. So far, I have only used modaco desire roms from day one rooting of the nexus. I use at&T, so maybe the radio updates arent necessary?
Well, if the ROM is cooked with the radio update, you don't need to do it separately... else, it is recommended... especially if your are using a newer ROM with the latest RIL libraries [for stability and compatibility sake]...
i was thinking on rooting my nexus one phone but i have this question to determine if i should or not.... my question is am if i root my nexus one with cyanogen rom or desire rom... am i able to get ota updates stll if so how...and is there a way to unroot a nexus one yet?????????
This has been ask many times before but to get to the point. Cyanogen and other developers that work on the roms will included any updates that will improve the user experience. Most of the time the updates will happen before the ota comes out. If you want the options to customize the phone beyond the normal apps and performance improvement then root. Rooting is not for everyone so please do your homework if this is your first time.
well reason i ask is because i heard even if u root the phone and then decide to put an official rom then u can then received ota roms is this not true or??
No. This is a general answer. If a update is done the developer will included it in his build. All you do then is flash the updated version of the rom.
Hi everyone,
Thanks to you I managed to get my HTC rooted and now can flash roms too.
I was 1.32 and then downgraded to official 1.31 and then flashed 1.31 and then 2.1 update1 ...
I just want to know what the rules are for android firmwares. Can I flash a custom rom of 1.31 again over 2.1 ?
What do these numbers mean ?
In symbian firmware they warned you not to flash from v 50 to 40 or else it would brick the phone even though it might be from one hacked custom fw to another.
How is it with android ?
Thanks
As long as the phone is rooted - just go back to your recovery screen and wipe/flash new rom. version numbers have no meaning in that way. 1.31.xxx.x is only the htc software version, in modded roms it's just what build the custom rom is based on. But you can flash any legend rom, as long as you keep the phone rooted - no problem.
thanks efex , thanks a million......hope you can hear my sigh of relief
Build number is 2.32.651.2. I've been eligible for an upgrade since 12/1, but want to know if I can root beforehand. And what would be the best ROM for it? Or, are there any new Sprint phones that will have Android 2.3 later on in the year?
Thanks.
you can root beforehand and if u do a different rom then u dont even need to use that update. if u are looking for a rom that is more stock based then try aosp or fresh but if u are looking for a more customizable rom use cynanogenmod. there is a gingerbread port out for the hero here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864403
Hi guys,
I'm going to buy a HTC One M7 shortly and I'd like to know what I can do the best. Currently I've got a HTC Sensation XE with this ROM, a pretty vanilla Android version without Sense. I'd like to have something similar on the M7, but with the latest supported Android version (4.4.x) and with a auto update functionality so I don't have to do updates manually in the future.
I've spend a day to get everything ready on my Sensation, so I'm not that good with customs ROMs and stuff. Hereby my questions:
1) Which ROM for the M7 is good maintained, have regularly good stable updates, can update automatically, don't have Sense, is pretty much vanilla Android, have good performance, have good battery time, is based on the latest Android version and if there comes a new major Android version it can be updated automatically to it.
2) What is the best method to install the custom ROM?
3) What is the best method to root the phone?
4) Is it advised to install a custom kernel? What are the advantages of it?
5) Is it advised to use the Cyanogenmod installer? Does this install what I want as described in my first question?
6) I've read something about a custom "radio", this can optimize the wifi/3g/4g signals, is this a good idea?
I'm sorry for my beginner questions, I hope somebody can help me out with this!
Thanks in advance! Regards,
Roy

Ok first off there is no Best anything it is all up to you to try them out and make up your own mind.
If you want something that can be updated right away then get a Nexus.
