Welcome to AF!
That rom should come with its own kernel, as most, if not all custom roms come with a kernel.
You should be good to go and you can switch kernels later if you desire.!

GREAT! Thanks! Didn't know that. Thanks for the help! Well...time to dive into this...
As in, some kind of app to backup your apps? Yes, Titanium backup...I highly recommend the "pro" version....it's worth the money.
As far as saving apps before rooting, the guide suggests my backup pro or something like that.
Or, your apps should be saved in your google account and just redownload them but you will lose any data saved with those apps.
But after rooting--Titanium backup!
Do I follow your question correctly?

The pro version is one of the handful of apps that you should spend a few dollars on. The biggest advantage will be resorting apps in batches vs one at a time. An added note is to restore only user apps and not system. User apps will be the ones you see and use on your phone....system are basically the ones behind the scenes.
Good point biker...there is alot more TB can do..I even set a automatic backup schedule to backup apps every Friday.
The list goes on.
Like biker said, I dont backup or restore system apps...leave them alone. Not even sure why that is an option
Must be good for something?
Sometimes that website acts wonky....you can try again later...it's funny that way
Can you not login? What error is it giving you?
Edit: perhaps try a different browser, or go directly to the website instead of the link from email..

I can't log in. If I try to re-register it says my username is in use, so it's got me in the system. Screen shot:
hmmmm....I see...don't remember them having to activate my account, but it's been a while....so I dont know if a different browser would be any different..I can't log in. If I try to re-register it says my username is in use, so it's got me in the system. Screen shot:
As soon as I click the drop down menu for devices I have to log in before it goes any further.
Tried different Safari and Chrome browsers and get the same result. I did read in another thread that someone else is having the same issue as I am. Something about HTC doing site maintenance for 24-48 hours. So if that's true maybe I'll get in sometime today.
Ah, gotcha, ok, let us know how it goes eh?
yeah you have to log in to get to unlock the bootloader. i just tried it on my chrome browser and it worked.
Still no luck for me. Maybe they aren't registering new accounts, but the old ones still work.
well i'm not sure what is going on then. just to make sure that you have activated your account, right?
Yep, clicked the link in the email they sent me yesterday.
if everything goes right, it should take 10 min or so. but i would give at least a few hours to troubleshoot just in case.
Great. Thanks for your help!
