ROM Questions

[mightyfacundo]

I just got my DNA last Tuesday, coming from the Thunderbolt. My Bolt was rooted, and I tried pretty much every ROM before settling on Thundershed, which really made it a much better phone. I haven't rooted the DNA yet, and wanted to get some clarification and info on a few things before I do.

Does the DNA have S-off yet?

What's the best method to root?

What's the deal with flashing a boot image first? Easy to do or a pain in the ass? We didn't have to do this with the Bolt.

What ROMs do everyone recommend? Do any of them offer added functionality or are they pretty much modded versions of stock? I've looked at a few of them at xda, but to be honest, today I'm not in the mood to read through all of the ROMs and all of their threads for user feedback. I don't mind reading one or two, so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Is the DNA officially supported by CyanogenMod?


Thanks in advance for any help as I re-learn about rooting!

Does the DNA have S-off yet? NOT YET BUT THEY'RE WORKING ON IT

What's the best method to root? THEY HAVE A COUPLE METHODS FOR UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER & ROOTING ON XDA

What's the deal with flashing a boot image first? Easy to do or a pain in the ass? We didn't have to do this with the Bolt. WATCH DROIDMODDERX'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL HE HAS A FEW VIDEOS ON HOW EASY IT IS

Is the DNA officially supported by CyanogenMod? NO, NO AOSP YET. IT IS STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS

To root is easy you need to run an app so than you can use htcdev.com

There no s-off that's why we have flash boot.img than the Rom but there's an. app called flash gui that flashes the kernel image for you no need for fastboot commands..

I'm using viper Rom full of mods
