So, as most of you know a root for the AHD came out yesterday. I wanted to say thank you to everyone that worked hours and hours on getting the root, even though Dan gets the money lol. But there are many new comers to android out there, including myself. Coming from the iphone I can tell you everything you can do once you jailbreak and iDevice, but what all have you guys done after you rooted your device. I have owned one android and played around for a while on many, but most of which were completely unlocked and had new roms installed ect. ect. So I thought it would be a good idea for people to be able to post what all they have used the root for so far, so maybe we can use those ideas and make this phone even more awesome.
The first thing I did do was calibrate my battery and have noticed a little bit better life today than I do most days.
I also uninstalled some of AT&T's annoying bloatware (which IMO belongs on NO phone)
So share what you did and give some ideas to all the readers!!!
Thanks again Dan for the root and I know Matt worked for hours and hours on it, so I would like to thank you too

Great thread idea!
First i removed att bloatware/unused ringtones and notifications
Changed boot animation
Gave already owned apps root permissions to do things like one touch reboot, auto dpi changing.
And right now I'm working on changing the color of my softkeys
Underclocked.
Once i get home from my business trip i plan on porting cwm and seeing what we can do from there

Lol I was thinking the same thing. The EB40 is an awesome upgrade and I def considering it. I just am at home and work where my phone can be charged all of the time anyways. Not to mention once we get some bloat free roms that run more efficiently, the EB20 should be okay.
After rooting,I install RootExplorer,SQ Lite,Titanium Backup,etc.
Unlocking stock wifi tethering and enabling stock sms delivery reports.

Ad Free = 1st thing I did...God I hate ads
Yeah, I hate ads too! Especially on YouTube! I'm using 'Ad Away'. I didn't realize it would do away with the YouTube ads, I'm loving it!
Other things I've done thus far:
Changed my boot screen, installed SetCPU, installed an Emoji font modification, and installed Titanium Backup to rid myself of the bloat apps.

Thanks for this. Was hoping for a non-root tethering option that actually worked. I've rooted my past 3 phones, but trying to live without it... as long as I can handle it
Actually, I don't see any need to root and rom with Sense 5, I personally like it and it's stable for me. I'm only missing some seldomly used root apps. Tethering is the only reason I have right now to actually break and root. Just trying to not do that this time around.

Yep there will be more soon!
have you played around with any of the kernels or roms? im getting my sprint one this week and i was just wondering if there were any you recommend. as far as roms go ive been looking at viperRom or Tranquility. i figured i should start with sense-based and see how like it. for kernels im thinking of going with wolfpack. elementalx looks good but it says its not compatible with the sprint version. any thoughts?

It can be dangerous if people don't read or do research before flashing anything.

Yes but it becomes extremely important to match md5 hashes before you attempt to flash radios and hboots. One wrong move and it's Perma brick no fixing it.

Making the hboot flag read "eat sh!+" instead of "unlocked" is enough reason for me.
My ONLY need for S-off is to flash my AT&T One to the Google edition ONE TIME and let Google take care of my OS updates directly.

Gunny, have you tried out any of the AOSP ROMs? I'm sure you have, but if that's what you're looking for you can already have it. This community is almost always faster at getting updates out than Google, even on Nexus devices. I have a feeling that this phone will be something of a red-headed step child to the Nexus family because of the special hardware/software considerations(i.e. the Camera[reported to take abysmal pictures on AOSP ROMs, so must be something soft/hardware combination HTC is pulling out], Beats audio chip, etc.).

Are you exchanging with HTC or with your carrier? If with your carrier, it's highly unlikely they will check that as most reps don't know anything about bootloaders or what they even mean. Unless you're very, very unlucky...
If exchanging through HTC, you're gonna roll the dice. If they determine that it's a hardware failure in no way related to anything you've done to the phone, then they will replace free of charge. If they don't make that determination, they'll still replace but they will charge you for the new parts(camera + new locked motherboard). At least, that's been their M.O in my experience going back to at least the Nexus One.
Thanks for an insightful reply. I bought it from tmobile over the phone..and plan to take it for a store exchange on June 5

As another tip, make sure to turn on Fast Boot under Settings > Power. This will make it more "difficult" for the rep to check since you can't boot into the bootloader or into recovery while it's checkboxed. Also, it's the default option. Just make sure the obvious things are gone: stock ROM, no SU, etc.

Uh huh.. I'm no noob and I want S-Off for LOCKED so that I can claim hardware failures like the power button, NFC not working etc etc. Where I'm from, an unlocked bootloader is an instant reject no matter what the damage is.
Okay, the title is pretty much self-explanatory, but here's the thing. I want all the HTC One users to know all the possible Pros/cons before they root their One. So this is my aim for a compiled list.
Here are the reasons you might be looking for.
Why should I Root my HTC One?
1 - Backup all the AppData, Saved Games etc
2 - Flash mods, for icons etc, Change boot animation.
3 - Install apps like Lucky Patcher and all the stuff it's used for
4 - Convert it into a Google Play Edition HTC One, so that you can get the latest Android Early.
5 - Better Battery Life
6 - Bypass IP Address in the entire phone. For Proxy.
7 - Faster Updates
Why I should NOT be rooting my HTC One?
1 - The Hardware is pretty good so how much faster can it go?
2 - Sense is pretty. Flashing any other ROM would mean losing Sense Features. Unless you keep sense.
3 - Flashing any non-sense based rom would mean Bye Bye to Zoe, BlinkFeed, Beats Audio and other HTC Features.
4 - You could suffer from ORD, which was my case.
5 - Having to install your basic app's again everytime you flash a new base ROM.
With inputs from, clninja, nouxxer, funfair91
You can just root Sense and keep everything. All you need is an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery.

Well if you are on T-mo then tethering/hotspot for free is already included with the device, just make sure you have unlimited data.
For me main reason to root because i want bypass ip address. Many country is blocking many site.also my office also blocking certain site in their router. So i try many free dns and it works until my carrier block many until dns ic blocked.so now im using tor network it also need root access.

I got your question fine. Use Google.
Edit: To be less harsh - root gives you so much permission that it'd be hard to answer what the benefits are. Someone else might give an answer that you don't see so much as a benefit. The best thing to do is do some research yourself. There are plenty of articles online answering your exact question..
My reason for flashing is because the update in my country is slow thus I rather flash a custom rom which update faster...
Sup guys I have a moto x on sprint and I'm on 4.4.2. I'm not sure if I want to root. I just heard some people getting great battery life and I'm not its just average. Maybe 3 hours screen on with 12 hours total before dead. So I think its some apps giving me wakelocks but I need root to find out now. Also app ops and/or greenify I'm sure will help. Now otherwise the phone is perfect. I'm no noob to root so I know what it is.
What I want to know is what's the easiest way to unlock boot loader, root install recovery and probably do xposed?
Then is there a way to totally revert back to stock with locked boot loader for warranty claims?
Thanks guys

Cool thanks. So root will cause void of warranty. I have the Motorola esp insurance. Do you think it also voids that? As a cracked screen has nothing to do with root.
Sent from my XT1056 using Tapatalk
Your battery times may be completely normal.....depending on what features you leave on, apps you've installed that access those features.....screen brightness, games, how much you make/get calls, signal strength....etc...etc.
My point is, those times you get aren't necessarily cause of an issue.....could be anything above too. Root won't help on its own.....its setup and usage that determine average battery times.

Ya I agree. I'm not sure on root yet still checking app settings. Thing is all the apps on my phone are there for a reason. Don't play games and it seems all my settings are good. Im just getting awake time when my screen is off so something is happening and I can't figure it out. Is there anything without root I can use to determine the wake lock?

Basically with the restructure of kit kat apps that haven't been updated for it are causing unnecessary wakelocks, basically not closing properly.
