First Thunderbolt Custom ROM?

[biff6789]

Er, why are some of you hoping for the Desire Z ports??

The only purpose of those ports was to get the new Sense 2.0... which this phone already comes out of the box with

Vanilla rom please!

You got my hopes up, I thought someone had created one and this was it. I hope it won't be too log given the Desire HD work already done.

I hate one click root methods with all the bad things that can come from rooting in believe people should at least get a basic knowledge of adb etc and one click root isn't it

Good stuff! Can't wait to see the finish product!

Yeah, I like it when rooting is lengthy and fun!

I agree here. I only had a month with my Fascinate before I returned it to wait for the TBolt, but I was much more satisfied with my root permissions once I did it manually. All it takes is a little time and a little research.

Im going to just do what I have done on my Incredible, root and remove the bloat.

I believe this is an appropriate thread for my question... (The Thunderbolt will be my first android device). Custom roms will remove all the features that Sense 2.0 adds, right?

I'm just starting to wrap my head around rooting, custom roms, etc. While custom roms are very appealing to me, it sounds like I'd be losing out on the customizations that HTC make... or am I misunderstanding how that works? Or do/will the rom makers add these features in themselves?

Thanks for the info!

Has there ever been a case on a new htc phone recently where it can't be rooted?

Not as far as I know.

Only vanilla roms will erase Sense, pure android. Developers create custom roms to modify stock roms, from easing bloatware garbage, optimize your phone, and do add pretty much anything they like to it.

Custom roms allows you to update your phone frequently faster, gives you better performance, and install future android roms.

i like the look of CM6 (mainly because i love Vanilla) but i've heard some bad things about unrEVOked. I definitely don't want to be messing up my first Android device, anyone know any of the problems surrounding unrEVOked?

 

[htowngator]

I wouldn't put a vanilla ROM on a phone with sense 2.0

sounds like a waste of time

/agree

While CM looks like it has some really nice features, it'd be at the expense of some other really nice features. I'm hoping they'll be something that combines the best of both worlds. Despite my normal inclination to heavily customize my devices, at the moment I don't think I will be.

It all comes down to preference. I really like vanilla + whatever launcher / custom dialers ect I like. Basically piecing together my ideal UI. I prefer it over the built in Sense UI even though I'd take Sense over blur any day.

I'm looking forward to removing all the bloat from my first Android.

 

[Haso17]

I think it really comes down to what you like. I've played around with phones that have vanilla and I really like them, but in any case I could like sense better. I think my overall question is really what is the deal with unrEVOked?

 

[jcase]

I hope to make the first TBolt rom. Im already working on the vendor setup.

Come hit me up, and maybe we can test your rom on an actual device.
