Has anyone installed this update? I like all the functionality of the stock rom, so I'm reluctant to install someone's custom rom that may have features missing. But improved call quality sure would be nice.

After Gingerbread, will Sprint users be able to install custom ROMs that are currently available? Seems like I read someone was working on CM7 also.

I thought that "roms" also had whatever version of the os that it was based on in the rom. Am I getting this confused with the kernel?
Say you take a stock rom and add and subtract and tweak everything to your liking. How it's done I don't know but you make that into a flashable zip and there's your rom.
You would need to root again because you will lose that with the update. Unless you have root, you cant install custom roms.

I knew that, but I'm just not sure if I'm stuck on stock Gingerbread or still able to load a custom ROM that's currently available (without doing the EA24 flash)

I've been searching for and unable to find a stock rooted HTC Vivid rom that is flashable. Anyone able to point me in the right direction. I don't want to relock and do the RUU. If there isn't one, what is the most stable custom rom for the Vivid? Currently rooted, S-off, with cyanogen nightly, lost my stock backup somehow. Thanks in advance.
Holics is pretty much similar to stock. Popped it on my girls phone n she likes.

Nah don't do Holics. Try to find wcx stock rooted rom. I was a beta tester and I can tell you it's one of the best. Everything works and no bugs. The latest update fixed the volume and is now louder than stock. Sad to say wcx shut down for awhile cus he's very sick. But he updated almost every week since vivid was released. So I hope I was of help. U can ask anyone about wcx aka wildchild he's one of the best.

Ok what's the risk... I'm running Android revolution ver 31. I haven't updated my firmware. I'd prefer not to have to flash a whole different ROM to gain S-off if in can avoid it. I know it's recommended to be on same firmware and ROM base, but what's the risk of just S-offing like I am?

But, wait, you have the s-off or not?
And what do you want do?

No I don't have it yet but I'm running a ROM based on 3.62xxxx firmware but haven't updated my firmware to that yet because I don't have soff.
Wondering if I'm running a risk with ROM and firmware not matching when I attempt to soff.

Yep, you need to be on the same base, and the closest possible to your own rom. Just restore your stock nandroid and you'll be good to go

Hi guys, I wanted to try the Google play edition ROM and I have between doing some research but I'm still a bit confused.. Is there any difference in using the RUU method (which looks much more complicated) and just flashing bigxie's GPE ROM? Which is easier and better? Hope u guys can answer my questions and thanks in advance..

Dont accept OTA if you install a custom GPE rom, specially if you are S-ON.
On RUU you can install OTA

Isn't bigxie's Rom is totally stock GPE so it's ok to install OTA?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
No it is not. Custom roms are not meant for OTA>. You can update on your peril.
in thinking that to install official ota update on unlocked/rooted device, I ONLY need to re flash the stock recovery ? It's on ARHD at the moment so is basically a stock Rom.
Thanks

No, you only get OTA if you are completely stock, a stockish rom is not enough. also root will mostly break ota applying, and ur on a custom rom...
