Need help, will pay $$$

[djfujiyama]

The last time I flashed a custom ROM (Original HTC Touch Pro), it was an 8+ hour process of reading forums, experimenting, reading how-to's, figuring out what ROM was best, etc.

Unfortunately, I just can't spare that kind of time nowadays. I'm willing to pay an EXPERT who's been keeping up with ROMs and the flashing process to help me root and flash my phone.

I flashed the originally-thought-to-be-OEM-DK28 on my phone and while it flashed correct, I've had nothing but problems since. It lags like a windows mobile 6.x phone now.

I've been wanting to root for a while so here's what I'm looking for:

* Full, step-by-step instructions on how to back up my data (if necessary), and then root and flash my phone to the fastest, most stable custom ROM available. I want to be able to complete the entire process in under an hour. Please make sure you are very well-versed in the different ROMs available -- do not just flash your first ROM and then send me directions on it.

* List of any potential bugs/instabilities I might need to be aware of.

* A tutorial (with links) on how to replicate these homescreens:

I'm willing to pay $25 or a bit more if you're local and can come to me (Temecula, CA area) to do it onsite. PM me if you have any questions or if you'd like to take the job.

you can save your money and just go to XDA-developers. There is 100 how to's and it is very easy. You don't need to back up anything to "root" your device either as it's just a one click process. As far as stability goes then you might want to wait a few more days/weeks as all ROM being created now are based off of Froyo 2.2 and there is no source for the Kernel so some things are still buggy. I myself haven't had a problem running any 2.2 Rom's though.

FYI: you don't need a custom ROM or root access to duplicate that homescreen. The program is called "launcherPro" and they have just installed a custom dock bar with custom icons...all of which can be downloaded free.

Appreciate the help, nvmyc, but I need something like right now. My phone is basically a windows mobile 6.x phone that's been without a flash for a few months. In other words, nearly unusable. Every few minutes it freezes up or lags hardcore. You click the gmail button and a white screen comes up for like 20 seconds until gmail opens.

The reason I'm willing to spend the money is because I'm super busy and I just don't have the time to spend over an hour looking for things or figuring out which one-click root works, or what widgets are on that launcher pro screen, or where to find that custom dock bar, or what ROM to install. I want one email with ALL of that info so I can knock it ALL out in an hour.

So I'm willing to pay what it costs to have an expert do that for me.

where are the pictures from and there pictures of a cdma sprint epic 4g? for the time it took you to post this thread you could have learned how to root/flash. i will help you free on a chat client step by step.

Darren's right. We have a wiki that answers pretty much everything you need to know, and you could read it and do what it says in less than an hour.

And as far as which ROM to flash, that's like asking someone which car to drive or which soft drink to buy. Everyone has their personal likes and dislikes. Now, having said that, I really like the midNIGHT ROM that ptfdmedic has created. Its fast, stable and has the best battery life of any Froyo ROM I've tried (and I've tried just about all of them). Click on the banner in my sig and it will take you there.

what lock screens? if you're talking about the one that the OP posted, they're call Home screens.

To the OP:

I don't think it's possible on the android the only way I see it is if you take a screen shot from your wm phone then port it to android as icons and wallpapers. You will have to map those icons with apps. I think Launcher Pro would help you but then again I don't have any experience on that. Just saying..

[revaaron]

oh, I thought those were lock screens. would make beautiful lock screens, but terrible homescreens.
