So, ive made a big switch. I went from a Captivate with 2.3, to my EVO 3D. Im currently running on 2.3.4 and Hboot 1.49.
Im looking to root the dev so i can remove some of the onboard rogers crap. Stuff in the background is running when i don't want it to. And some of the games and junk on here, i just want to get rid of.
Im reading several threads, but none of them are specific enough. Can someone point me to the proper rooting thread for this build? I dont plan on using a ROM, this OS is stable as it is.
As well, can someone recommend me an Antivirus? Ive heard of people starting to use these, maybe someone can suggest me one.
Thanks in advance,

Apparently you haven't read the important threads, otherwise you would have posted this in the right forum :')
Antivirus is overrated AFAIK, it's pretty much only an issue if you plan on installing unknown APKs or using third party app stores. I've been hacked once when I installed an unknown APK on my tablet, which resulted in a password reset of my Google account because my credentials were compromised and some prick attempted to log in to my account from Argentinia
I've looked at the other forum regulations and this was the one that came the closest to the subject. Then again, i also haven't been on the forum for about 6-9 months.
If someone can direct this thread to the proper section that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

this forum is for ROM development. Your thread is about a question you have. That means this thread should go into Q&A (I honestly feel sorry for doing this, the Q&A forum is a very dark place where you can easily lose your mind among the imbeciles)
Definitively off dev thread ;-)
Depending on your hboot version many subprocesses are related.
My advise is to precisely indentify tour default settings then you will easily find out your happiness to clean what you dont want.
Btw, in dev section there are severals cleaned stock roms.
Depending on what you are looking for and consequences (root needed, s off, ...), make tour choice and enjoy.
Personnaly my favorite for daily usage is the Mwakious 3d one, but official ics update is coming since this morning all around the world (do not know for Roget)
Jump and enjoy this really Nice and Effective toy.

Well, ill take a closer look around and see what may benefit me. As stated before, im on Hboot 1.49. Im used to rooting and customizing my Captivate, not exactly the same as the HTC, thats for sure.
moved to q&a as this is not development. if you did not develop anything then do not post in the development section

I am rooting soon and would like to know what rom is close to stock but takes out the bs apps like footprints and such, runs quick, lets me overclock, live wallpaper, has the basic functions working (google voice, marketplace, voice input, etc). Also why choose other roms vs. what I need? Do other roms have better functionality? Thank you for all for the great community especially the devs. Love you guys!

If you're looking for a rom that's close to stock try plain jane OR XTROM.
If you're looking for the fastest thing out there you'll want one of the froyo ROM's but they aren't stable yet.
try the plain_janeT2....... pretty much stock 2.1....... can overclock, a2sd, wifi tether...... removes apps like footprints, amazon, peep, stocks....

I had problems with web views on apps though with Ivans - presumably because it uses the 2.1 leak instead of the OTA. Id recommend PlainJain for HTC goodness, but XTROM for sweetness and speed. That thing is peppy.
Also, you can very easily remove stock apps yourself. So whichever ROM you choose, adb commands (or Root Explorer app), can get rid of em for ya.
I use titanium backup to freeze/uninstall apps.
I did a search for XTROM and nothing came up.

I really would stick to just rooted and debloated stock for now. If you reallly want a custom rom I think Scott's Clean rom's run well or Nil's business sense rom's just make sure you are downloading the Gingerbread versions. Make sure you read the threads to see about tethering since that is something i have never done so never paid attention to what works or doesn't with tethering.
P.S. unlocking is extremely easy, just follow the directions on the HTCdev site precisely and you will not have an issue. Also I would definately suggest sticking with Amon Ra for your recovery seems to have the least trouble right now. Clockwork official is really new to the rezound and I still seem to read threads that people have trouble with backups or restoring backups and sometimes even installing roms using it.
Stick to GB for now.
Read the threads and find out which one suites you best. Everyone has different tastes. Do your homework and you won't have problems.
To answer the question about tethering...the only infrastructure tethering to be found is on an ICS ROM. Unfortunately that's not "noob" friendly.
Yes- definitely read the entire threads of any ROMs you are considering so you will know what to expect as far as bugs and known issues.
Stick with Amon Ra recovery. There's an update coming with a fix if it's not already posted.
GB ROMs have ad-hoc tethering. ICS have infrastructure. But ICS ROMs are not fly functional so again- read entire threads to know what you're getting into.
I really like Ineffabilis GB. I would probably just use it with stock kernel though. I'm not seeing a benefit to using dsb although maybe I just need to play with CPU settings more.
This is my first smartphone and something that's really helped me is keeping a text file with notes on how to do everything so I don't have to search for info again when I need it. Also gathers lots of info from various threads in one place and makes it easier to learn everything. Seems it's quite different on this phone since it is still s-on.

Yeah, and a nervous excitement. I was fortunate that WasabiWa83 offered to stand by in chat in case anything went wrong. And a week or so later when I was reflashing a ROM and the phone gave me an error message in the middle of flashing saying it couldn't read my ext sd card I got stuck on the HTC splash screen and I didn't even panic, just went through the steps I had read about and all was good again.
So as long as you read and learn, once you've gone through everything you get comfortable since you know there's a way out of any trouble you may encounter.
Unlocking is simple and easy. Don't worry about bricking the phone man. I owned an Incredible before my Rezound and installed ROMs, radios, kernels, splash screens, you name it and never had a problem. Once you get the hang of flashing stuff and go through the initial process of botching something up and figuring out how to fix it, it becomes second nature and quite fun. Welcome to the unlocked world!
P.s. Nil's business gingersense and scott's roms are great for beginners. I suggest Nil's if you want a little bit of theming and scott's if you want more basic functionality. Stick with gingerbread for now, although the ICS roms that are out there are good enough to be daily drivers and I did run them for over a month, they do have their little kinks still.
Quit discouraging ICS roms. I haven't been on GB since 2 days after the first leak and aside from bluetooth and the occasional screen flicker, they work fine.
That said, sticking to GB for awhile might be a good idea. There are plenty of people always online here ready to help if you post in the general section. Just make sure to look at stickies and such for help. A good rooting guide written my myself is linked in my signature. It is the most simple of the guides an I have updated it for the newest firmware version.
For me not being unlocked and rooted >>I would say the reason I dont jump right away is not I'm scared or nervous..its the time and effort from going to a fully working phone to a phone that might be buggy to just get just a few perks. Plus not to mention the time it takes to try each ROM out,,gheez that the hard part!!
I personally would do it to get rid of the bloat ware that could be using my battery, What the OP is doing it for? I think the same reason as me. Unless he likes looking forward to the pain like the all of you.

I agree about ICS roms... they are awesome i like them over GB
If you want speed and battery with the stock look mainly, give cleanrom a shot! All the other GBs are themed beautifully and have have a lot of work put into them. I stayed away from ICS because I am OCD on bugs and theme issues such as 4g arrows but it ran very smoothly.

I've told others in various threads but i'll say it here cause it can't be stressed enough. *learn about flashing kernels aka boot.img*.. I would dare to say 70% of the threads in the Dev forum are cluttered with people who never learned about flashing rom kernels with adb or tools like cleanflash that make it easier. The super-noob guide in the dev section is your best friend.
Most folks are used to the kernel being totally packaged in with the rom zip and once you flash the rom zip you're good to go. That is not the case with this phone. Learn about it and save yourself many headaches.
Well I unlocked my phone and I think it's rooted..so I should stick to GB roms? Is ineffabilis good?

Ineffabilis is a GREAT GB Rom but to be honest they're all really good.
I think its good to start off with GB because you may run into usability issues with ICS that may cause issues for you. Flashing a GB will help you get your feet wet!
Hi Everyone,
I know may be you don't like my thread's name, It is my opinion and I want to know your opinion.
The reason why I'm asking this, simply because I rooted my Razr XT910 to ICS and I really regret. You will tell me , unroot, sure I can do. But I want to pass my experience and to everyone cannot wait to root his Razr.
Ok my reasons are as follows:
1- If you are not very careful you simply can lose your phone
2-After rooting from 2.3.6 on Razr XT910 to ICS 4.0.4 and after the tension because of my mistake and was going to lose my Razr, I found the ICS very basic not much to add to UI. Meaning no widgets like contacts favourites and many others so simply you have to keep installing apps either free or buying not like the original 2.3.6.
3- Not fast as expected
4- No enough support for the Razr XT910 very minimal. Everything is for Droid Razr XT912. I did a mistake by installing a rom for Droid Razr and it blocked my phone and I had to use RSD to install SBF.
5- Themes are very poor
Again guys this is a personal opinion, just wanted to share it with you and to think twice before rooting you Razr XT910
My ROM is Razr-AOKP-GSM-J.Y.Daddy
BTW, I tried Eternity project for Razr XT910 and I got Installation aborted message and again no help in its thread how to overcome the issue
There is more to rooting a phone then just install roms.
Some programs need root to give all the benefits they have, like Rootbrowser, System tuner Pro and SetCPU.
With a rooted phone I can set my cpu level during day, work hours and night.
I can freeze and unfreeze bloatware, make backups and optimize my phone as I like to with or without a rom.
That's why I got it rooted.

In addition, how many stable roms are out there for XT910 same like yours. Please mention some.

No, that belongs in the General section. If you want to discuss a rooting that you did in the Development section, then you would comment on the thread where you received your information for the ROM you chose to place on your phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1344531
....Wow, just wow. *palm to forehead*
@flupo: You have a rogers razr, I'm guessing, which is why you can't get the leak. Give it time, you'll get real ics. Really can't believe you felt the need to make a thread about this lol.
I have the Rogers Razr as well and I'm running J Daddy's custom CM9. Works very well as a daily driver. I don't have a need for bluetooth and I can live without the video recording function. All users understand that these builds are in development and do not provide all the functions flawlessly. So your only options are to wait for an official build from Motorola or hope that somehow a bootloader bypass/unlock comes around that will allow us to use the kernel+radio from the Chinese/European ICS and have a ROM that is more streamlined than the current development builds.
Rooting is not the same as installing a ROM. Updating from GB to ICS is installing a new ROM which has absolutely nothing to do with "Root" in most situations.
Root is the Linux way of saying Admin Account. With "root" access to a phone, you literally have permission to do anything you want, install anything you want, remove anything you want, and run anything even if it requires permissions that are normally rejected on a unrooted phone.
Apps that require root that I use on a regular basis: TitaniumBackup, AdFree, Terminal Emulator, WiFi Tether, and ES File Explorer. There are many others. None of these have anything to do with installing ICS or not.
Your thread title is misleading and it is in the wrong forum. Developers create threads in the Development section, only. You can reply to one of their threads if appropriate, but to create a new discussion on something it should be in General.
You should read through a lot more threads, ask questions in the general section, and generally understand a lot more before you start trying to modify your phone like this. That should be the warning you tell people. People shouldn't just jump in and start modifying their phone's OS until they know what OS, Root, ROM, and a bunch of other terms mean and what they do.

Read carefully and thoroughly and you won't have a problem. Rush in and flash the first file you find and you'll quickly end up with a brick. Getting the most out of any device requires an investment time-wise, and if you're not prepared to make that investment you shouldn't be flashing anything.

Thanks for sharing
Obviously from most of your comments, I did a mistake by making such a question in this section. Sorry about that but I thought it is the right one where people read about rooting.
Second, These are my previous smartphone list which I did rooting for all of them and it went fine with no crashes:
HTC Tytn 2
Sony Ericson Experia
HTC Touch Pro
HTC Diamond 1 and 2
HTC HD
HTC HD2
HTC Desire
So may be from the above you can see guys that I have some experience in rooting and I read a lot about it.
The reason for my thread was to raise the issue that there is no enough support for the great Razr especially XT910. As per Motorola support team whom I discussed with, the upgrade from GB to ICS is in the planing phase and might take about another 3-4 months.
Any how I tried to do that to see if I can solve the issue for having ICS on XT910 or not before selling it and go back to HTC with HTC One X.
Last, it will be great to have a professional forum that has talented people respect each other not like the respectable person whom said "ohh Canadians Canadians"
Everyone of those phones you listed are HTC devices including the Sony Ericson.
That's probably why you stuffed up because this is not a HTC device. Not to mention the majority are native windows mobile phones..

I need to know everrrrrryyyy thing about the Android. (not literally)
I think im rooted already, here are some screen shots to see what I am working with. (Got the phone 2 days ago)
I also am not sure if I am flashing the ROM's correctly, in my about it says i have Stock with Goodies ROM (downloaded here) but some of the features are missing, like landscape rosie and the power down options for recovery.
I also have no freaking clue what S-OFF and S-ON is so could someone explain that to me,
And
I also see alot of mods being implmented by txt editors codes n such, replacement of codes. Can I get a brief on that as well?
I really need gudiance, I did everything on my own and im not sure if I did any of it correctly. Ive been reading that MeanROM ICS is popular I had it but I switched to stock goodies.
My task list is as follows,

Install MeanROM ICS
How Do I acomplish this ^ in the correct order, from where im standing in my screenshots but note in the bootloader screenshot mine is UNLOCKED not locked
Here is a good introductory tutorial on the evo lte and android in general (thank om4):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1869377
It looks like your bootloader was unlocked at one point and then relocked. The good news is you have the right hboot version for s-off (1.12) so you should do that first. You'll need to do it with a ROM that's a 1.12 or 1.13 base though (not sure what base stock w/ goodies 2.16 is), so if that's not what you're currently running you'll need to unlock the bootloader first and flash one (like Fresh 5.1.1). S-off will give you full access to the phone's internal memory and allow you to flash anything, whereas only unlocking the bootloader and remaining s-on has some limitations. Read the first couple of posts in this thread to learn how:

I rooted his Sammy (technically mine) and showed him how to flash ROMs, nandroid (backup up ROMs, for Op) and install themes, put apps in system, ect, and everything else you can do with an android. He loves that he made the switch and can't believe how much he was missing. He sends me new threads and gets so excited to show me his latest mods, ROMs, tweaks, ect.
Welcome to the world of android my friend. Love when I see someone who actually had an open mind and decided to try android. There's so much your gonna love and so much you can do with android.
You came to the right place with your questions and it looks like your questions have been answered already. You'll find we are a very close knit supportive community and just about anyone will help you with anything.
My biggest advice would be to read read read. That's what I did when I first started rooting phones years ago. (Cm7 on my cliq xt was my first modded phone ) and lastly before you post questions in development threads, do a quick search. Most questions are usually already answered and solutions are provided
Welcome to the community!! You can personally pm me with anything you need help with. Would be glad to help

I can't stand Apple, not only their stuff, but the Corporate bully that is Apple, only 500 billion in the bank for a rainy day, must be nice.
Android rules, but the best part of it is the support you find here. If you would like some color on your phone, I have 3 themes on evo 4g lte forum under the themes/apps section, I bet you can't do that with a rotton apple lol
Hello there. So, I want to try and find a rom that works best for what I need it for, but rather than take weeks to experiment with all the different roms out right now, I thought I'd ask the public and see what you all think.
What I use/want my phone for, in order of importance:
1) Stability (I work for a Doctor's Office. I can't have my phone freezing on me AT ALL. I need to be able to be reached 100% of the time).
2) 4G Tether (I use at least 20-30Gb of 4G data a month MINIMUM. It needs to have stable 4G. I am able to play Battlefield 3 on my PC with no lag/bad ping with my current 4G coverage).
3) Balance between speed and battery life.
4) Looks "cool." This isn't very important to me though if everything else works.
And that's all I can really think of at the moment.
With this in mind, which rom/kernel setup would be best for me?
I REALLY appreciate any response. <3.
EDIT: I have CDMA.
Before this gets locked... look up Cool ICS ROM in the CDMA development thread. That should work wonders

I went through the rules and I don't know why my thread would be locked? =-X. Which rule did I break for future reference then? I apologize in advance.
And I tried Cool ICS Rom at one point. I wasn't impressed with the battery life though. But this was a while back. Has a lot gone into the development and stability of ICS now?
Yeah. Most not if all ICS ROMs are stable

Its not posted in the rules. Papa has stated that these threads are not allowed because its based on opinions and it has the potential to start flame wars between members and or devs. Just to let you know, evo 3d is notorious for battery drain. You will have to experiment with kernel settings. Setup your memory tasks. Shut off stuff like bluetooth , WiFi, auto sync. Email and Facebook are notorious battery drainers. Try an extended battery or carry a spare one.

It's a moderator preference (aka rule) that we don't have "best" or "favorite" ROM or kernel threads in the Evo 3D XDA forums. We setup a ROM information thread in the General Forum and if you repost you requirements there someone can make some suggestions for ROM's you might want to try.
