So, are these instructions:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843014 good for rooting my Desire Z or is there a better method I can use? Also can my device use Gingerbread?

I'm holding off until an actual RC myself.

So far the only things broken I've noticed were the soft button lights (they don't turn on) and some apps don't run. It seems pretty stable so far, I might stick with it until the RCs start coming out. y2011m01d11_droid_about

Clockwork is now working and flashable for the Nook color via Rom Manager (previously it would "flash" but you couldn't get it to actually work). There's also now a 900mhz OC kernel available here for the NC. Dude's promising to hit 1ghz asap, and bring over other performance improvements. Trying this out myself momentarily.

It's worth noting that if you flash a custom recovery on the Nook, it will no longer return to factory settings after 8 failed boot attempts, so don't count on that if you're dicking around.

Got a link for the stock ROM? I want to do this. I found a JL5 out there but I keep getting an error when I go to install it [E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip (bad)] and I've checked and double checked that it transferred over correctly, but no dice. Edit- It has no problem installing other ROMs, though. Just loaded Nero3 TW edition w/ voodoo just to see if it would work, and it does. and again - I just saw that Nero4.1 dropped yesterday.

The only differences between the Desire Z and the G2 (other than the 3G bands) are a few differences in partition structures, I think. Most ROMs and guides apply to both.

I have a rooted Incredible. I may be getting a replacement phone - can I port an entire Nandroid backup to a new device? Or am I stuck with just moving the Titanium Backup app data to the new device?

Interesting, I think this one will work but it's not what I used. I uploaded the rom I used, although I have removed all the bloat included T-Mobile apps (such as visual voicemail), shutdown/startup sounds, and put in the stock shutdown animation. I also added Titanium Backup and Rom Manager to make things easier. Grab it here. I didn't apply the SD card fix so if you have issues transferring files when it's plugged in to a computer, read here.

On the sense roms for my desire z the hardware keyboard features automatic spelling correction and word prediction. I tried getting this to work in MIUI by installing the HTC IME MOD keyboard, and it works for a short time by turning on spelling and prediction for the hardware qwerty. Soon after it stops working and I'm unable to get the prediction bar to come up again short of clearing all the data for the keyboard. Any thoughts on how to solve this? e: it seems I need to tap somewhere other than the text field, then refocus the text field to get it to work. annoying, but workable.

If you have an evo and the legit swype beta uninstall that poo poo before upgrading to fresh 3.5. He included it stock in the rom so you have to remove it or deal with it not working. He wasnt real clear on this.

I used BB for a few hours and had to go back to CM6, which I've never wanted to goto anything else besides after, except MIUI but since its not listed in Rom Manager I've been too lazy to go out and find a build of it to try out. What exactly does BB have to offer over CM6 anyway, or what are its selling points rather?

I have not had issues with the soft button lights or apps. Unfortunately, the battery sensor is boned. Once it gets below 50% it displays the 5% warning. It functions correctly and still has the charge, it just does not display the correct level.

Has upgrading to CM7 felt faster? I haven't tried Bugless in a while, personally I like CM more. I haven't seen any performance problems yet, no lags or skips. I tried to run Quadrant but after it runs the tests it messes up and just returns me to the main menu, so I can't see the results. I'm using the kernel that the build came with instead of my usual 1.2 kernel and nothing really seems slow. It hasn't rebooted on me either, seems pretty stable.

I use MIUI with Launcher Pro+...kind of a strange combination, but I love the messaging and menu system it uses. The categories for the settings menu make a hell of a lot of sense and brings some much-needed order to it. If you are using MIUI with the intended launcher, using folders is a good way to tame it so you don't end up with an unmanageable number of screens.

You could also just grab the real one from MIUI-Dev.com - all the other ones are pretty much just repackaged versions of this. Maybe Rom Manager is easier, but this works for every device miui exists for, more or less.

I've honestly never flashed a rom with anything other than rom manager. I know how, or I'm fairly sure how, not to sure if I have to rename everything I flash update.zip and throw it in the root, but maybe I will try that out too, thanks for the heads up on that. Are there any apps MIUI doesn't play nice with by the way? You seem to be the resident "MIUI guy" Casao so I figure you would know.

It's Android 2.2, though. But no, to flash something, you can download both of the files and use Rom Manager to flash the files from the SD card. If you turn on the advanced mode, you can even queue both of them back to back. I dunno if the one in ROM Manager is any good or bad, but the ones for the N1 were the basic rom with lovely stuff added on top. It's a good skill to have, though.

So after coming from the Vibrant official 2.1 update (and a working GPS) to Nero 3 to Nero 4.1, I've found that once again my GPS is poo poo. This is despite reports about how awesome the GPS is. I've tried flashing the JL4 modem, the SGS fix app, and nothing so far. I'm beginning to wonder if I need to try something more like flashing back to a 2.1 stock rom, then reflashing to the Nero 4.1 rom. Before I do this, what sorts of things should I be clearing before I flash? Are there things I can clear now before I go back? Also, should I go into Odin and reflash this software, or will a stock rom be enough? I'm just trying to figure out if I'm doing everything I need to to ensure a good flash. Thanks!
