Okay First of all Hi !
i'm new here, and i'll make it short for you guys ( ang gals ) .
I have a HTC TD and i'm a newb!
Still have the Stock ROM on it and barely customised it.
My problem :
I want to get known in this tweaking, and therefor i need to start from scratch.
Couldn't find any newb tutorials around here, and i'm desperate where to find a basic "what is" tutorial about ROM's/Installing software/How to's.
As soon as i get pointed in the good direction you can delete this topic.
Sorry if this thread is not on the right place!

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.
Hey everyone,
please forgive my ignorance here but I'm new to the Hero, HTC, Sprint and this forum. Wondering if I loaded a custom ROM on my phone, would I be able to convert back to the original sprint image in the future?
Also, do anyone have any ROM recommendations; where to download them? Looking for optimal speed really, if that helps narrow it down.
Thanks in advance

I can not recommend a best, it all depends on your needs. I would spend my time looking in the Development Forum at the custom roms there reading the first couple of post and the last two to three pages to get a feel for the rom and what are the issues if any. Then I would take one out for spin to see if I like it or not. Before you do make a nandroid backup of your current setup and save to your computer in case something goes wrong.
Had you followed the rules you would have your answer.

Hello dear users,
Because I've noticed many users confuse the ROMs and recovery files for both versions and I personally find tracking the development for the EU version confusing I have this request for separate section I hope you are with me on it especially persons who later have to help those with half bricked phones.
Best regards

I don't see much development on the E.U. version of a ROM because there's no devs for the 64bit E.U. version and I personally think if someone can't figure out that pretty much ALL of the ROMs on here are 32bit then they have no business trying to do anything to their phone! It's also all over the xda site for the HTC desire 510 warning people not to install 32bit ROMs on any 64bit phone and since most people don't bother to read anything first they end up doing something they aren't supposed to and that's their own fault.
It will not hurt but it might help greatly
