I'm new to XDA , But i have some questions

---

Hi All.


I'm an iphone hacker/Jailbreaker and i own an original iPad , iPhone 3G & an ipod touch 4.
But i lately bought an android phone (HTC Sensation XE + Beats audio) .. and yes,.. im a n00b at androids..
so i came to XDA Forum so i can have more knowledge about android ....
So . my phone was in GB , it was working perfectly . until i updated it to ICS.... Battery drains fast .... wifi is not working anymore ... when i connect to a network ... it automatically disconnects from it ..... (yes ,.. this is annoying) , but when i remove my SIM Card out of the phone ... wifi works perfectly with no problems..
So i heard about the "WiFix" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1445766) which fixes this issue .. but it requires a rooted phone.


Here's my phone's details :

ICS 4.0.3
HBoot 1.27.0000
S-ON
Locked

So , i have some questions (because i don't wanna lose/brick my phone & have a try in the Android "world" , and also i'm a noob ) :

-Does Rooting affects my phone's performance / bricks it?
-If there's any rooting method available for my phone .... is rooting enough to fix this WiFi issue?
-i Heard about the "Android Revolution HD" and its battery mod....etc... but does installing/Flashing this OS to my phone is suitable for it? or just rooting it & installing the WiFix would be enough ?


Please Answer , any Help Would be Greatly appreciated .

As for rooting and performance yes rooting will affect it for the better! I was so surprised how custom roms are FAR more stable than stock! You get a smoother faster over all better experience with a custom rom. I don't regret rooting for a second. Its all about customization .you don't like something change it it gives wonderful freedom! Thanks to the developers there are so many choices to fit so many different tastes. Its wonderful.
Look in search and you will find a guide for your boot version. With your boot yes it is possible to root just a bit different from the usual way to s off.many people have been successful with the guide once you have rooted and s off if you choose you can then install a rom and mod if you like.

check the SOFF section from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1716955

typically two methods
SON with HTC-dev unlock --then rom
SOFF --then rom (SOFF again two methods - with/without HTC-DEV )

to do so, you just flash a ROM through recovery. whether that be CWM (ClockWork Mod) or 4EXT touch.

pretty easy. as custom ROMs come pre-rooted, you won't need to worry about the rooting part. just the S-OFF thingy and flashing a custom recovery i previously mentioned.
