You seem to have ignored the lack of "S".

In my head it all worked out, so it's cool. :dance:

After I spent all of last night installing CG 1.7 and putting my apps back and fixing it, Feeyo releases 1.8

:nothing:

1.8 is so good.

Don't worry, I did the same with 1.3 and then 1.4 was released an hour after I installed all my apps

See if I installed CM6, what sort of widgets and apps will be on it? Will it be the standard ones from Android 2.2?

I would still want widgets like Adobe Reader, Flashlight...

If they don't come with CM6, you can easily download them (or an alternative) again. :yep:

Rooting seems like a complicated process. :holmes:

I'm not sure the order I should do this?

1) Downgrade to 1.31 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=725430)

2) Root following this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=746454

3) Debrand following this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=671520

But it says to install one of the firmware in the 3rd thread, but I want to install CM6, do i have to install one of the firmwares listed in the thread before installing CM6? Or can I skip the firmware install and straight to CM6?

:s-smilie:

Once you have this you can flash any file.

The debranding is removing branding on the default ROM, installing a new ROM is a different thing entirely.

Hmm... so the branding is tied to the ROM? So actually I could skip and replace step 3 and do what you just said?

I want an Android, when I have lots of regular income, I may get a contract for a Nexus S. I spend way too much time looking at Android phones online and decided I liked the Galaxy S for its screen size and stuff and the Nexus One for the pure Google experience, so should be good. Anyone got a Nexus S here?

De-branding consists of getting rid of <service providers> boot screen (maybe), apps, bookmarks etc.
Installing a ROM accomplished this but it replaces everything.

I assume you can skip the debrand step if you are sure you no longer want sense.

I think I want the SenseUI - all I really want is to remove the default apps/widgets and take off the Vodafone startup animation.

But then in order to remove stuff, I need to root my phone which involves downgrading and the upgrading again, can you upgrade to the default ROM and have Super Access or whatver its called?

I genuinely don't know what you are wanting :colondollar:

CM6 is NOT Sense btw.
By the sounds of it you will be losing all your apps anyway. So I would recommend downgrade, root/install recovery and then flash a clean Sense ROM from XDA. That way it comes debranded by default and will have added tweaks to make it faster/better in general.

Simply what I want is to be able to remove apps I don't want now but still using the default ROM.

CM7 is available for the SGS, might flash it to see what all the commotion is about :p:

Apparently it's pretty buggy though :K:

You'll have to root sooner or later...might as well make it sooner :sexface:

Then you'll have superuser privileges and you can remove any apps you want...

I can't decide which ROM to go for. :ashamed:

You'll realise just how much more you can do with the device once you have superuser privileges...

To answer your second point, try them all! :awesome:

Once you get started with flashing ROMs then you'll see just how easy it is through CWM. Just get a titanium backup and a NANDroid backup and away you go...

I just installed the Redux ROM on my Desire, Gingerbread looks so slick, right? Shame it won't be getting official support D:
I'd highly recommend it for people who want a decent Gingerbread ROM.

From the Market?

Original post by G8D

Well it seems this is closet to stock.
This won't have service provider stuff but will have all HTC/Google apps.

You can however unstall these as you will be rooted :wink:

I think this is closer. :wink:

Titanium backup is on the Market. Nandroid is done from within the recovery image :wink:

TBH you could safely install this for a stock experience without bothering with the kitchen.

Oh I see.

You'll hear about it from me tomorrow. Need to get a microsdhc card first (ebay seller forgot it, instead put a spare battery :ahee:

)

I just went to check my HBOOT version, then I went into Recovery, then I was met with an image of my phone with a red triangle and ! down the middle of it - took the battery out just to even get out of it :facepalm2:
