UMA is that the Orange thing where they use wireless to boost phone signal for calls? I too suffer from the same affliction, ie crappy reception at home hut honestly haven't noticed a difference going from stock Orange ROM to custom one.

I think this 'facility' is provided by the carrier anyway, rather than the Rom. Waits to be proved wrong ...

Is there a guide anywhere for installing

RUU_Saga_Orange_UK_1.31.61.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M_release_178918_signed

Its an exe file, it opens HTC Sync
[HTC Desire S] slugger09:
Or I thought of another thing, I backed up with titanium backup straight after rooting, could I re install the apps deleted? And then maybe a factory reset to tidy things up
[HTC Desire S] InfernalByte:
I doubt it, if you did a Nandroid back up things would be different. If I were you I'd be going custom, LBC for instance is pretty good for a sense rom.

Goldcard is only connected to sd card. So your friend can use your goldcard to flash stock rom.

So I came from stock Eclair, Rooted then flashed Simply Honey 3.9.1 using the OP's download link to the Simply_Odin_Hemi.zip which contained the .tar for the PDA and also loaded the 512 PIT as stated in the OP. Everything seemed to be going well, Flash completed in Odin and Gave a PASS but when phone rebooted now its in a boot loop with the Vibrant Screen followed by the Bullet Kernal screen Then linda's voice comes on "Formatting partition" then pauses and she says "Not enough space on partition" and the phone reboots......

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] sausagedog:
hi guys ive been on a hd2 on android for the past year but its died so iam going to get a cheap milestone but its locked to orange uk, just wondering is if i put on a new rom say miui or the like will it also unlock it as ive never looked into it before with a phone on another network.

cheers in advance.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Caz666:
No.The Rooting/ROMing is not the same as SIM/Network/Subsidy unlock.

I have had good sucess with codes from GSMLiberty.net.

Process:

1- Buy an "unlock code" (you need the network the phone is locked to as well as the phone IMEI number (look under the battery).

2- Put in NEW SIM

3- At code prompt, type the number that gsmliberty.net gives you (or another site, I am just speaking from experience).

Voila! Unlocked phone. You can then keep the stock ROM or move on to rooting/installing a new ROM if you want.

Wiping the phone and installing new ROMs has no effect on the unlock. You are OK.

I have had CM7 for a while now but I realised that if I turned off wireless networks, Google Maps could not find my location with just GPS.

[Acer Iconia A500] reggiehg:
Hi, folks :,) I've only tried with the Iconia A500 because it's the only one I've found with both a mini usb & full usb on the tablet itself, which I prefer, but if it can't do this, I can reconsider other tablets. I've also tried it on my Archos 101 on Froyo but the media apps are really slow directly accessing the usb drives, not to mention other general performance problems. Reggie
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
If the media app is able to browse folders, then yes, it can access external storage.

If it can't browse folders, then no, it can't.

Depends entirely on which app you're using. Moboplayer, for example, can browse folders and therefore works fine with external storage.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
On that note, whenever I plug in an external drive Gallery does also pick up the media on it.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
I would agree.

I think the key is if the app is mentioned for tablets would likely see thr external media.this is something that will be all worked out in time as honeycomb apparently deals with external fifteenth then previous vversions

If im wrong remember I spank back
[Acer Iconia A500] reggiehg:
Thanks for the reply, guys! I've tried this before on 2 Iconias & couldn't access my G2 Portable 320GB usb drive. But just now, a 3rd Iconia can access my G2 as well as my GoPro, while a 4th can access my G2 but not my GoPro. I've tried waiting for some time for the devices to load before trying to access them, but I really can't access the GoPro no matter what. I am pleasantly surprised that I can access the G2 now however, even if I don't know the reason why. I tried to reset the 3rd unit & still no problem. I'll try to reset the 4th unit tomorrow & see if that will solve the problem.

Hmmm, now that I think about it, I wasn't even using a media app today-I was using a file explorer, Bluetooth File Transfer, & I still had that problem with GoPro.

I am in transit in Greece, & the buying culture here is such that I can't test the unit I'm buying before actually buying it, & if I find a problem even just 5 minutes after I buy it, I will have to wait days before I can get a working replacement or a refund.

These last 2 Iconias have the same following specs:

Android version 3.0.1

Kernel version 2.6.36.3

Build number Acer_A500_1.139.05_COM_GEN1

Any ideas?

I use Juice Defender to control data connections, etc.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarvin:
Hey guys,

I saw alot of guides out there to Root your SNS, all different, and none explain some basics stuff. I want to understand what I'm doing and not doing it like a robot. So I'll ask some newbie questions I got into:

1) What's the difference between ROOT / unlocking bootloader / oem unlock ?

2) Is it possible to save all your apps and data before Rooting your SNS by some way ? I know there's these apps Nandroid and Titanium backup, but both can used only after rooting no ?

3) I saw there's guide to Root i9020T only, and i9023 & i9020A separately, what is it ? how do I know what I have ?

4) What's the best recovery out there ? Clockwork mod ? If I use it and I want to update it, do I need to download the new version and transfer it again, or does it have auto update ?

5) What is Fastloader / Fastboot ? what does it do ?

6) What is Superuser ? what does it do ?

7) What is Flash rom, or Flash recovery ?

8) What is the best and most updated guide for Rooting SNS out there ? there just so many, I need something that most reliable

9) I wanted to make sure the all these processes are reversible, that if I'll find out the original stock rom was better for me, if I could undone all the rooting and recovery changing and go back to the stock rom with original updates from google (like new) ?

10) For people that have done it, does it worth rooting the SNS at all ? does the Roms out there for SNS are good enough to replace the stock one ? I've heard that most good roms are for Galaxys, and SNS has the basics, is it true ?

Thanks for your patience, sorry for being pain in the ass :rolleyes:

Ok thanks, take your time !
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
1. Root gives you ability to run applications that require root access.

Unlocking bootloader is the same thing as OEM unlock. Unlocking the bootloader allows you to flash custom recoveries which leads you to flashing custom ROMs & kernels. With the Nexus series, it is a legitimate device that permits you to unlock the bootloader without using a exploit.

2) No. This is not possible, upon unlocking the bootloader. It will wipe all of your data due to a security measure. And yes, nandroid can only be usable when you flash Clockwork Recovery. Titanium Backup requires root. And to obtain root, you need to flash su.zip (or whatever method you desire to). The best thing you could do when you first get the NS is to oem unlock. You don't have to gain root right away, but at least unlock the bootloader so you keep it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=931865 but if you go that road.. its all you, i rather unlock the bootloader. easier on the long run

3) What is your location? Carrier?

4) There is only one recovery. Clockwork. Not many changes need to be done to the recovery in the first place. Once a stable version is out, it will remain that way. Recoveries don't get updated that much. I'd recommend the 4.0.0.2 modified version in the development forum than to the standard one. It is formatted a lot better than the original. If you wish to get the official one, download ROM manager from the market and flash it there. It will give you Clockwork v3.0.2.4.

To flash 4.0.0.2, you need to go into bootloader mode and use ADB (fastboot).

5) Fastboot allows you to flash custom image files such as bootloader, radio, recovery.

6) Superuser is 'administrative' access to your phone. It unlimits you and allows you to take full permissions all over your phone including changes outside of /sdcard/.

7) Let's use this as an example,

Android = Windows

ROM = Heavily modified version of Windows tweaked for faster speeds, new features, and so forth.

Flash Recovery allows you to flash custom ROMs & kernels.

Kernels... new features. Easy to do. Recommend Netarchy's 1.3.7 kernel.

8) Only one way to root the Nexus S. It's the easiest out of any other phone. One clicks are for lazy people.

9) Yes you can undo it. But you probably wont because custom ROMs are amazing.

10) Yes its worth rooting. You're asking about it, so you're obviously thinking about it. You can always unroot. But I doubt it ;)

Anyway. Hit the thanks button, any more questions. Feel free to ask! I'll be here.

P.S. Just call it "NS" its not "SNS" ;)

and btw what is kernels ?

Israel, Carrier: Cellcom, but I bought it on BestBuy from US. In my Baseband version is says: I9020XXKD1. Does it mean anything ?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt2053:
to flash means to install; or, to write the image to the partition.

an image is a copy of something. a partition is an area of your phone's storage. when you flash, you write the content of the image into the partition.

the main partitions are system, data, recovery, boot, and radio.

when you flash custom kernel, you are writing an image to the boot partition.

when you flash a custom rom, you are writing images to the boot and system partitions (roms usually include kernels to ensure compatibility).

when you flash a recovery, you are writing an image to the recovery partition.

when you factory reset, you are erasing the data partition.

also you can flash other partitions easily from a modified recovery. so the easiest way to set up your phone to be easily modified is to use a program called fastboot to flash a custom recovery image. then you boot your phone into that custom recovery and from there you can easily flash custom roms and kernels. and if all you want is to gain root access, then you just go into recovery and flash a superuser file.

hopefully that explains it!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suksit:
A kernel is the "core" of an operating system which, in case of Android, is Linux. It provides interface to all hardware on you NS -- CPU, memory, touch screen, speaker, etc. (see the picture in the link)

Your NS cannot operate correctly without a compatible kernel, so mind what you are going to flash to your boot partition.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Pretty much what he said. I recommend a custom kernel such as Netarchy's kernel. Adds Voodoo Sound which is pretty much amazing. Custom kernels add a lot of custom features, highlights of the additional features can be found in a kernel thread such as OC, Voodoo Sound,Voodoo Color, Tunko, etc....

tell me, each time I want to change rom I need to wipe everything before ? including sdcard ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
No, you don't have to wipe sdcard. Don't ever do that.

Only thing you need to wipe is factory settings, and cache, and dalvik when flashing one rom to another.

Upgrading from one rom to the same rom but a newer version, just flash but I usually wipe dalvik and cache. You don't have to.

Kernel is the same. The I wip those two, and you don't have to.

Wiping hose two doesn't make you lose any files or data. Just a longer first boot because android is rebuilding the cache
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Borky_16:
wiping dalvik and cache is only to do if you change the kernel at a rom! when you upgrade a rom, then the updater-script will do that, only to be correct :)

Hm, didn't know the script would wipe it for you. Good to know! I'll continue wiping it just because it's a habit.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
Can we increase RAM by repartitioning the internal storage? Or is the RAM somewhere else physically?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sincest:
ram is by itself somewhere separate from the internal memory

ram on the g2x is somethign liek 233mhz i think? someone correct me? but thats hell of alot faster than 5-15mb/sec xD the internal memory isnt that fast... imagine how slow 20-50MB would run form the internal memory if the rom got loaded on there?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RZJZA80:
mhz would be the speed of the ram, I think the OP wants to increase the ram somehow which I have not yet heard of, that would be in MB
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
Yes, but he explained well how it would not be practical to use internal storage as ram (even if this were possible) because of the drastic speed difference between the technology...it wouldn't function properly.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LordButtersI:
No, it is not possible to increase the amount of RAM without physically taking apart the phone and welding some new memory onto the motherboard, which is a horrible, horrible idea and should never be done. Ever.

However, you can free a little bit up by installing a custom kernel, the Trinity one by morfic allows 405 mb to be used by applications as opposed to 374 stock.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Xargon321:
its possible if you have some rework equipment or are very good at soldering but you would need to find ram that has the same size shape and pin out at what you had thats a challange most chips in small devices use whats called BGA or Ball Grid array its makes it so the pins of the chip are under it so it saves space. but it makes it all but impossible to resolder another chip on there.
