clear choice

Nothing beats the otterbox for the Mytouch 4g! Amazon 22 bucks.. beats the 40 the want at stores.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] y2k1ltd:
Just got mine as well. Found mine on eBay for $25 shipped. Best of all it came with the Seidio holster. HOOAH!
[myTouch 4G Accessories] The 4th Derivative:
I need to get the most heavy-duty-uber-protective-bulletproof-nuclearblastproof-cancercuring case possible for my brother. He compulsively throws his phone around and I looked at it yesterday and it looks like it was run over by an 18 wheeler. SO, I've been looking at the otterbox and the Trident cases but which offers more protection? I know people complain about the lint-catching capabilities of the otterbox but do tridents have the same issue? I gave him an extra TPU case that I have but I highly doubt it will protect his poor phone for long...

So which is better: otterbox, trident aegis, trident cyclops, other?

thanks in advance from me and my brothers poor, abused phone
[myTouch 4G Accessories] y2k1ltd:
I would say the trident cyclops. The aegis and Otterbox have less protection for the front of the device. They both cover the same area as the TPU case. The cyclops has more coverage on the front. Search for the pics of each to see the differences.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] The 4th Derivative:
I did research and concluded that the otterbox was probably the worst of the three but wasnt sure if the aegis or cyclops were better. Ive heard that the cyclops comes apart easily though. Has anyone had issues with this? I read that the outer silicon part is floppy and loose
[myTouch 4G Accessories] TeeJay3800:
I keep thinking I should get one. Thus far, I've stuck with no case or screen protector and kept it in the T-Moible Leather Sleeve. Mainly because the leather sleeve protects the screen so well when not in use, and I'm not a fan of the clear plastic screen protectors I'd have to use with the Otterbox.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] Nicgraner:
I don't have the screen protector on mine, just the case and its great. I was putting in some stairs to get to my attic and the phone fell from the second floor down to the concrete garage floor and it was ok :D :cool:
[myTouch 4G Accessories] yungtexas:
It gets floppy and loose...I've been using it for awhile now but I don't use it anymore...I went back to the gel case it came with
[myTouch 4G Accessories] TeeJay3800:
Just to verify, which one gets floppy and loose?
[myTouch 4G Accessories] kitchencop:
I have the aegis, fits perfectly and stays snug. Amazon for 20 bucks
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaneybaby41:
My apologies if this post is a dup, but I'm havin a hell of a time trying to find the proper steps to root the WiFi only XOOM i have hangin out next to me.

I am seeing a ton of posts about rooting the XOOM, with a good bit of them telling me different information:(Dated 27 April 2011)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1010568&highlight=rooting+wifi&page=17 tells me to download the WiFi only image (Tiamat 1.3...), but then later tells me to download the Tiamat 1.4 images. [scribbi, my apologies for using your post as the example. But your post got me second guessing myself a little bit...(mostly cus I'm paranoid)]

I'm sure I am just second guessing myself over nothing, but just to be sure...

Is there a GOLDEN set of steps (or sticky), as of 27 APRIL 2011, that can give us (concerned rooters) the proper steps for rooting the WiFi only XOOM such that we can follow without minimal concern for the well-being of our tabs?

(I'm an embedded SW engineer, so I understand the repercussions of what I'm doing, which is why I'm to double checking the procedures before I attempt something that may brick my hardware)

Thanks for your time and mad props to everyone that was part of the effort to root this device. I wish I could code as well that they can.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scourge1024:
I still do it the old fashioned way. I'm already unlocked so I just flash the boot image. With a clean system partition, you need to push a few drivers (.ko files) on plus "su" and the Superuser.apk. Superuser and su work together. And finally you need to create a new folder so that your real sdcard can be mounted. I think they changed the name from "sdcard2" to something new in 1.4.0.

Not exactly step by step but you can see which instructions that mirrors most.

New instructions involve CWM which I have not installed yet. I like to know what's done step by step as I have a Canadian system.img. I don't want that flashed over.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jase33:
you could use the "one click" method found in the dev section. its really like a one click at a time, but goes slow so you can read and see what's going on. if your not comfy with adb I would suggest this method. then update the kernel with the kernel manager app.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scourge1024:
I don't trust the "one click" methods. Me, I need to know how every part works together and what every step does. I'm more comfortable with using adb and fastboot manually than I am with someone's idea of user friendly. I'm also the kind of guy that would fix his own car rather than have a mechanic fix it for free.

I should take a look at it. The way you describe it, it almost sounds like a batch file.

Also, when I understand what's going on, I can apply the steps in different situations. For example, most of the instructions here are for a PC but I can do exactly the same things with my Mac Mini when my PC isn't convenient.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Al936:
OK, let me propose one of the root method which is not required to flash any boot image but is required to flash ClockworkMod Recovery and to use the recovery for rooting.

Such method (i.e. using custom recovery) may work not only on WiFi US model (which I have), but also on other models (Verizon, WiFi Europe etc). But I tested it on WiFi US.

So the step by step are:

1. Install ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.2.5 as described here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1038870

This actualy means that you need to unclock bootloader and flash ClockworkMod Recovery.

2. Download attached Root_Xoom.zip file and put it on SD card

3. Insert SD card into Xoom

4. Boot Xoom in the recovery mode

5. In ClockworkMod Recovery menu choose "install zip from sdcard" and "choose zip from sdcard" and install Root_Xoom.zip

6. Reboot Xoom

Hope you will have Root after that.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaneybaby41:
ok so since I'm not currently rooted it looks like this should work for me. Gonna give it a shot in a little white once I get me some courage juice...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabian29906:
Other than rooting what else does this particular file do? Ovrclock, usb hosting, sd access??

Thanks
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Al936:
This is for rooting only (as OP requested). It is just to push su binary and superuser.apk into system partition. Nothing else.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MitchRapp:
after that, get kernel manager and install 1.3.2 for oc, sdcard etc.... 1.4.0 isn't stable is it?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Al936:
Yes, if you need oc, sdcard etc..., you can flash the kernel you like. It can be done after or before kernel flashing.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shobirama:
Do you have to have an SD card to CWM/root your Xoom?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Al936:
Yes, you need SD card. CWM installs file from SD card to make root

This is for STOCK ROM/FW Remove sd card from phone format card on PC/Mac with card reader leave card out of phone Do a Factory reset on phone reboot wait for it to fully boot up opt out all setups then turn off phone reinstall sd card to phone reboot.

If you are rooted just use Xrecovery format sd card ONLY and do a factory reset reboot.

You can do the stock mode too. My guess is you are selling your phone but if not check the forums to get back to stock rom/apps because this will only reset and will NOT replace deleted apps. You can do a SU repair to maybe get some deleted apps back.

Which if selling you should also do after formating and factory reset just to be sure.

You can also reflash your firmware right after formating your sd card

JUST DO NOT FORMAT THE PHONE JUST YOUR SD CARD ONLY

DOING ALL THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK

Doing this works for me but may not for you

ALSO these forums can help for stock roms,fws,mods an apps.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willentrekin:
Recently came back to the Vibrant, and like the Axura ROM, but I generally prefer an accurate battery. I noticed a few mod threads, but all listed previous versions of Axura. So I thought I'd ask if anyone's running an Axura and modded it for accurate battery, and if so, what you're using.

Thanks.

I have ran the Quadrand Standard Benchmark on my phone several times now. The highest score I have ever seen on a phone is 2592.

My old Samsung Vibrant couldn't even do half of that. I don't rely TOO MUCH on the benchmarks but they do give you a GENERAL I dea of what your phone is capable of.

Ive benched higher on my customized Vibrant. It was overclocked @1.2 Ghz. I actually like my vibrant alot more with the screen and size and roms. So far I think my G2X is just kind of iffy. Cant wait til some roms come out and some stuff optimized for the tegra2. It took the vibrant almost a year to get where it is today and Alot of thanks go out to the developers, for almost tripling the original performance.

I have similar scores after the patch. I have had around 2900+ with MT4G overclocked at 1812 max (do not leave it at max - use a conservative 1612 - lol) with faux lv CM7 Kernel.

Quadrant scores are suspect however, as Linpack scores tell a different story. With MT4G above, get mid 50"s to low 60's. With G2X - I cannot break even 40.

I think it will do much better overclocked of course, and even better when we finally get a genuine duel core ROM on it - like 2.4 or 3.1.

But the fact remains that even with similar Quadrant scores, the linpack scores are not very high on the stock G2X.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] brentil:
Ignore the first run, then run it 10 times, dropping any with erroneous values, and average the scores. It's benchmarking, you're never going to get the same result especially on a device that's running so many active services that fire off at random. That's also why I bought Quadrant Advance since it allows running the phone in airplane mode and also breaks down the scores for better analysis.

Using that process I'm averaging about 2450 on a stock phone.

Hi,

I am learning to cook for legacy device HTC Prophet. I want to have my own base ROM, so I started with official WM 6.1 ROM from Kaiser (19214) and Elfin (19772). The OEM/Drivers was derived from the last official WM5 AKU 2.2 from Qtek S200.

Thanks to the wonderful community here, I was able to successfully port the XIP over and get my 1st booter. Everything seemed to work OK, bluetooth, GSM data/phone, Wifi, IR etc.

The only issue I have is Windows Live won't connect. I tried other SW, and they were OK with both EDGE data and Wifi (IE, SJPhone, OperaMini native, Jbed with OperaMini J2ME, PocketOutlook with Yahoo! emails etc.)

This happens with both donor ROMs, and it happens with both the Windows Live comes with the donor ROMs, or the CAB I downloaded from MS website. (to rule out RGU related porting issue.) Marketplace for WM6.1 won't connect, too.

I had tried searching for solution and there seemed to be similiar issue, but I wasn't able to get a solid solution.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Dr.Alani:
This is due to Carrier or Country restrictions. This is your answer:

http://www.mediafire.com/?6gxudncfxz19aai

An app called Market Access. This app emulates to the android os (i.e. the market) that you are on another network, therefore you can download other things that ou could not view earlier.

This app requires rooting.

To use it, clear you cache (using something like CacheMate) and run the market access. Backup your current carrier code and choose another carreir.

After the successful emulation. Run the market and enjoy the stuff.

After you finish. re-emulate to your original carrier code using the market access Restore option. And its better to clean tha cache afterwards.

Hope this helps.
