What is the problem, this so called community I've heard about is not much of a community is it.
There's no need for it at all.
Can someone please offer some real advice.

Ok, here is a real advice:
Please read the tutorials.

I have, but the one I am reading shows an old JF1.41 rom, when I looked at the other roms it says things like only for 36b phones ect..... It's confused me a little because tho I am amature techy I am also extra cautious and dont want to brick my phone.
Would I be ok using CyanogenMod [v3.9.7] && Palm Pre theme [1.8] ported for instance

I think the reason people are being a bit hostile is because you posted a question in the development section. That may seem OTT but there are some days when the whole first page of the development section is filled up with questions.
Before you flash a cupcake ROM (cyanogen, JF) you will need the new radio. I'm not entirely sure if you can flash that radio on RC7 or whether you will need to install a custom ROM first (like JF's RC9) so if someone could clear that up that would be useful. It can be found here. Copy that to your SD, name it update.zip and flash. Then you can flash a Cyanogen or any other cupcake ROM. That particular ROM you were talking about sounds like it was ported to the HTC Magic/Sapphire. Only flash ROMs from the dream section.

Hi mate, I wouldnt flash 3.9.7 if you only just rooted your phone, go with the stable v3.6.8.1 first, then use Nandroid recovery to create a backup. Then worse case scenario you can always restore that image if needed.
There's a good reason 3.9.7 is marked as experimental, and there is alot to learn before attempting any Hero roms etc.
If you get stuck with anything feel free to shoot me a PM Im always around and happy to help.
Long time lurker first time poster btw

Thanks guys, I will not post in this section again and sorry to those I have upset, would hve been nice to have been simply told.
Thanks for the help.

lol that was hard as nails

Wow that was by far the hardest groaned I have ever seen in my few months on xda!

People are just tired of everybody posting in devolpment when there is a q and a section, and when there are 20 to 30 new threads that have already been discussed, the devolpers get annoyed. Go with the stable version of cyanogen's rom, flash the new radio image and get yourself the hard spl, not the special, if you see warnings, run very far away. Install the s a lifesaver

ahem...
I wasn't hostile before, attempting to be civil now.
You posted two questions in the development forum. The first was regarding root. There are numerous tutorials available on this forum and even more via a simple google search. I know this because I read them, learned the process inside and out and successfully rooted my phone within the first hour of owning it. So yeah, I made a joke about a hard working mod having to move your thread... no personal attack so whatever.
Your second question was an open ended request for what are basically opinions. There are a number of great custom roms being developed here on XDA and all of them are unique in their own way. Roms like HERO and Cyan's experimental rom are definitely not for newcomers and the threads posted by their developers clearly state the risks involved in attempting to run them. 15 minutes in the dev forum and you could have made an educated decision on your own. One post in Q&A and you would have gotten much friendlier responses but in the end, you'd still have to choose your own adventure.
Let me make one thing clear...
I'm not a dev. I'm an end user who tries to contribute something useful to this forum and learns a whole bunch in the process. I've offered help to many people via PM and replies in threads (as long as the discussion is on-topic) but over time I've come to the realization that simply handing out information instead of forcing you to find it on your own actually does a disservice to not only the forum, but YOU as a user. So hate on us all you want. I think you'll find that following forum rules in the future will make your experience here a happier one, and snarky comments like yours are better left un-submitted.
To answer your question: I started with JF's 1.5 rom and think it was a great way to gain exposure to the world of custom roms and root. A lot has changed since then and things have actually become a lot easier since cyanogen released his recovery image w/ nandroid and tools like switchrom came out. Its now very easy to hop between roms and there are fewer chances you'll screw something up in the process. Personally, I've been sticking with Cyanogen's roms since 3.4.6, and though there have been some bumps in the road I've had very few issues and am currently working with his 3.9 experimental builds.
Hope you get where I'm coming from, good luck to you in the future.

Questions about flashing ROMS

If I Wipe before flashing a new ROM, will this erase my user data like phone nums and programs settings??
Why does everything keep looking the same after I flashed TTG 1.6 with out wiping original?
Will flashing again after wiping make it bring up the themes by default??
Will the new Kernel enable BT and Camera on the ROMs that currently these do not work on once we flash over??
Thanks for the help

Wow.
Search engine?

Seriously Search and read that is how you learn. Are you that lazy
1. Yes
2. TTG 1.6 is not a 1.6 rom it is still a 1.5 rom so it will not look diff
3. NO and i am a little confused at to what you mean
4. NO

plus it's actually 0.1.6 which might be some sort of give-away clue.

Dude, I spent 5 hours of my life(and will spend most of the next 2 weeks) reading the guides and the threads. 50+ pages threads to finely feel conftable on flashing my hero. U have to agree search is mediocre at best. Search for "nba" or "league pass" and u will get 0 results. Accidentally searching for something else I found 2 threads talking about nba league pass but the search still returned 0 results on nba or league pass. Now back to the subject:
Now that I have succesfully rooted my hero and installed custom rom, can u guys leed on what should I be searching for on the forum to enjoy to fullest the awesomeness of rooting?
ps. I love this forum and want to support it. After I'm done with my adventure I will create a thread with a "rooting for dummies" kinda thing to make life easier for new comers. Will include term definitions, links to guides and threads with customizations and links to donate to the devs.

I wasn't going to say anything about searching...but he does bring up a point. I spend far more time than I should have in searching how to compile Compcache with the CDMA Hero kernel source.
For you guys who are new to the ROM scene, Compcache is a kernel module that will take a portion of your main memory and use it as a compressed swap space, thus allowing you to run more programs at the cost of reduced main memory. It's perfect for people who don't run a swap partition on their SD card (which I do).
Now, I did what everyone on these forums complain about when someone who is new to the scene asks one of those questions that have been asked a few times...I searched these forums. My result: I found several posts on what Compcache is, a few on the internal mechanisms on how it works, and one posts that was related to GSM that was difficult to follow.
Searching more through Google, I found even more posts about what Compcache is and how to set it up (if you are using 2.6.29 kernel), but nothing about anyone compiling this.
Now, I know someone compiled it (it's in the Modaco kernel and the Gumbo kernel), but nobody's sharing information.
So, before we all go bounce on a new forum user like a cheetah on a three-legged antelope, perhaps you guys should search the forums for the answers and see how some of these questions the new forum users are asking are, in reality, not easy to find.
And for the new people out there...on page 1 of the this sub-forum, on the first and second entries, you will find a page pointing to a wiki entry (one each) that will tell you the available ROMs out there (and how to download them) and how to root your phone. So, before asking about how to root the phone or where can you get a ROM, check there. Or click on "The Darktremor" in my signature line. I have guides that will do the same thing (except rooting...I actually point back here for that since I actually thought the root guides were better than what I could write). However, if anyone wants me to build a rooting document (complete with pictures), let me know.
So, there's my opinion about it. I'm not going to say anymore on the topic.

Just as a quick point, Gumbo does not have compcache

I woke up one day and decided to root my G1. Did all of like an hour maybe 2 reading how to. Everthing after that is self explanatory imo.
With that said, its like 10 times simpler with the Hero. You can even use flipz auto root which requires virtually no effort. For those wanting to learn to root themselves, I pretty much wrote the "rooting for dummies" guide which is easily found via sticky wicki.
For all other inquiries, I have started a General/Hero Q&A thread. As a new comer, additions to this thread are highly valuable.

I have to say that Theresthatguy's thread on rooting is by far the best explanation of how to gain root without using the Pre-Kitchen (that is THE simplest way) and it helps you get familiar with using ADB and command line

That may have been the guide I used. Took me less than 10 minutes just by following it. I'll have to check, but I may have linked to that one at my site.

looking for a guide to help me

teach me how to adb in to my hero while im running Linux im looked but my googlefu is very weak . please help a noob out

Well the googlefu must be nonexistent as well as the ability to search this forum. Look in the guide wiki thread stickied to the top of this very forum. There you find a link to wiki with all the guides currently available. You will also find a guide on how to root with ubuntu (linux). This will give you a good base on what you need to do. You will also find a guide on how to push a file to you phone combine your knowledge and enjoy.
I would link it for you but that would be to easy. I don't feel like copying and pasting.

How to root the Kindle (Including 11.3.1)

I had tons of problems rooting my kindle, starting with adb and such. But then I found my own method that worked, I made a video on how to do it.
Watch the video to root!

No offense but rooting the KFHD7 [11.3.1.0] is not really a hard thing to do >.<
After you've installed the adb drivers on your system and ADB gets to recognize your device, it's just about executing the rooting script that is being provided somewhere here in the forum. The swerf-exploit is working like a charm for v11.3.1.0
I don't see where you could have "tons of problems" doing those 2 pretty simple steps, it's just about reading with attention through the related forum topics and you should get this done with ease =)
But as I said, no offense, it that did the job for you, it's fine, just that I wouldn't like to install the additional software you do in your process when I don't really have to :cyclops:
Greetings!

I would not download programs that are from unverified places to install my drivers like in the video. Like the post above says, rooting a Kindle is not hard. If anyone want to root the new 2013 Kindle Fire HD, the link is in my signature. Try that before installing a programs on your computer.

this Kindle is not your "Daddy's Pontiac"!

Lets give the contributor a shot with providing a valuable solution for some other members here who are searching for these solutions to accomplish this task of rooting this puppy.... :good:
When someone shares a nice tip here at XDA, thank him nicely because this Kindle is not your "Daddy's Pontiac"!

All I'm saying is that there are already enough valuable and even easier solutions being provided here in the forums to root the KFHD7 [11.3.1.0]
And as @LinearEquation mentioned, it's not advisable to just install programs with questionable source ^^
Especially if there are working solutions here in the forum which, as I mentioned, just requiere to install ADB and run the root script
TL;DR: Not trying to be ingrate for the provided solution of the op, just saying that working ones already exist :3
But those are just my two cents regarding the topic xD

Troubles rooting an accent speed X2

Hey guys i'm new to XDA honestly and i wanna root my accent speed X2
is Magisk any useful
Otherwise Is there any method to root it beside kingroot because it seem to not work
Thanks in advance

Welcome to XDA.
There's not a lot of information to be found for that device, but if it's anything close to stock Android you should be able to use one of the two installation methods, as documented here:
https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html
If you run into any kind of trouble along the way, you might be able to find some information here:
https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk
If you need further info on other details, both the XDA search feature and your search engine if choice are great tools, as most things probably have been covered before. Of course, if you can't get things up and running, asking for help on the forums is always an option. Just make sure to ask in the right places so you don't postout of topic. For general Android stuff there are several forums available, as an example:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help
Good luck.

Thank you didgeridoohan for help you know that i'm new and don't know proper places to ask for anything tho imma go post a thread in the right place Thank you very much

No worries. If you have Magisk questions you are of course always welcome to post here in the Magisk forum.
And please do share if you get things running.
