Hey, I was wondering what does it mean to debrand a phone? I noticed a lot people mention debranding and I am wondering what is it and what does it do?

Also, should I do? Will it make a difference if I ever want to install Cyanogenmod if that ever comes out?

Btw I am a Tmobile HTC Sensation owner if that makes any difference

that's all i can help you ! :D
[HTC Sensation] Hgaara:
Ahh makes sense, so say I debrand my phone, and it removes an app or a program that I do find myself using, say "lookout" or "qik" can I just download them from the marketplace?

Also, Is there any point in debranding if I plan on installing Cyanogenmod?
[HTC Sensation] Sketchy McSketch:
You can install lookout from the market. However, I'm not sure about qik, as it's branded as "Tmo video chat by qik" on the market.
[HTC Sensation] Behold_this:
I'm debranded tmous...yes qik is available on the market as are all tmobile crapware apps except telenav.
[HTC Sensation] asidhowz:

I have just bought a defy and want to root it. Im not too keen on Motoblur and want to get rid of it if it is possible! However, I have never rooted a phone in my life. I have noticed that there are a few roms knocking around for this phone.Cyanogenmod and Gingerbread Android 2.3.4. Which is the best one? I will also need an idiot proof tutorial if anyone would be good enough to point me in the right direction. I would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance guys but Im a bit.....:confused::confused::confused:

[Defy General] TudorBlue:
Thanks arpith.fbi . I will have a go at it when Im awake and refrreshed (ive been working nights lol). Will this remove the t-mobile branding? Ive already had the device unlocked but it still has the t-mobile logo popping up on start up etc. Thanks arpith.fbi. Your help is very much appreciated:)
[Defy General] arpith.fbi:
yea..no tmobile crap..u can customize the way u want..check it out :)
[Defy General] Jaflo:
Flashing a custom rom like Cyanogenmod will remove the t-mobile logo at bootup.

Before you start flashing a rom I'd recommend you to first browse some of the threads and to read some tutorials and FAQ's.
[Defy General] TudorBlue:
I assume I need to root my phone first and foremost? I will use SuperOneClick as this looks quiet easy to do, even for me.
[Defy General] TudorBlue:
Oops I forgot to add thgat my defy is on 2.51. Will this be a problem??? I want to be sure that I dont screw up my new phone. Cheers
[Defy General] LenAsh:
I suggest you go to a stock 2.2.2 via MSU or RSD Lite. For your locale. Try it for a while (- the GB retail is very good). You don't need to root to do that, and it is fairly easy and safe.

You could then try and remove the Blur stuff and some bloat after rooting. Plenty of guidance around. This will increase your familiarity and experience, which you lack by your own admission.

If this doesn't give you what you want, then try a Custom ROM. Note that no 2.3 Custom ROM presently provides a "100%" experience. It may be that you need something they cannot yet deliver... I'm not sure why you desperately need to do this, not having tried 2.2?

Take things one step at a time and don't rush.
[Defy General] TudorBlue:
I will take your advice. What do I need to do to remove branding and bootlogo? I assume MSU stands for Motorola Software Update. What is RSD lite? How do I use either of them to remove the network branding? I know these questions are probably seem idiotic to you guys as you are the experts but this is my first adroid and I need to start at the beginning so any help with this is very much appreciated.
[Defy General] gustavo.rocha:
You have to learn all the basics at the development forum threads before making any changes to your phone.

I suggest you to root your phone, install 2nd Init (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1032212) and make a full backup before you get the party started.

You can debrand you phone (including the bootlogo) if you install a custom rom.

The questions you've asked are already answered on the forum in a better way than I could do.

So start trying to use the search tools and don't forget to read the forum rules.

I'm a newbie here too, and following these advices I didn't get in trouble yet...
[Defy General] LenAsh:
I still suggest, as you are new to Android and phone hacking, that you take small steps and learn about Android before hacking. I'm not sure why you have a branded phone - why not just get a retail one?
[Defy General] TudorBlue:
It was cheaper than buyiong an unbranded version. Im reading up on it now and I think Im starting to pick things up a little. Android seems to be a lot more complicated than an iphone but Im getting there.................slowely
[Defy General] TudorBlue:
I made a mistake, the firmware version is 2.2.2. Right where do I start. I think I will debrand it first.
[Defy General] mrolp:
I followed this to debrand:

Everything works fine.
[Defy General] TudorBlue:
I have now debranded it. RSDLite wouldnt work on my windows 7 desk top through. I followed the debranding tutorial to the letter but my defy wouldnt show up. I used my Vista laptop and it worked first time. It was actually quite easy. I do have another question though. I have debranded my defy and no longer have the t-mobile boot logo on start up. However, when I go into my menu, I do still have t-mobile widgets. How do I get rid of them?? I have tried dragging and dropping them into the waste bin but as soon as I got back into the menu, the widgets have returned. Its not a big issue but I would like to get rid of them if possible. Thanks in advance guys (again):confused:
[Defy General] arpith.fbi:
most probly u flashed a t-mobile sbf..other retail sbf wont show t-mobile widgets..anyways u can remove them with root explorer..its quite easy..
[Defy General] TudorBlue:
I flashed it with the UK Retail .SBF , version 2.2.2 service flash. Because I was already on 2.2.2. I went for the same version number. Im sure you klnow the one but here is the link.

http://and-developers.com/sbf:defy

Would it do any harm if I went for another version??
[Defy General] arpith.fbi:
no no..2.2.2 is fine...anyways use root explorer to get rid of those crap..

the best way to clean install is to enter Stock Recovery, then do "Wipe data/Factory reset" and "Wipe cache" and then flash an sbf...this will wipe "everything" and will install freshly..
[Defy General] TudorBlue:
How do you enter stock recovery? Do you mean on the device itself?

Edit............Its ok, Ive susssed it out. I had to press trhe volume keys up and down simultaniously. This stuff is not that difficult to do once you get started and read through everything.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HRN93:
Hi everybody,

I've just installed a pack of modifications wich contains screen off animation,

i dont want to use it, so how can i remove it and install the stock ?

which file in the framework-res.apk do i have to change ?

thanks for answering,
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blazevxi:
A simple way is, just turn off animations in display.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HRN93:
Yeah but the problem is that i wanna use the animations without the CRT off anim ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seeraj15:
Enable window and transition animations in the spare parts app and disable animations in settings. This should give you animations without crt animation.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anpulli:
So there isn't a file to delete or modify to disable the CRT animation? I updated to MilkyS 1.2 from stock 2.3.3. and would like to continue using NoLed, but if I use the "blinking" -option I get CRT-off for every blink and it's not so nice. It also seems that the button backlights blink too even if I disable them from NoLed settings.

Any ideas? A modified framework-res.apk or something?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmadpete:
Sorry its off topic, how do u make the led's blink ?

Been trying this for a while SGS i9000 Simply Honey
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anpulli:
I meant that the "leds" blink at the same time with NoLed's icons. And it does it even if I try to disable it via NoLed's settings. It might have something to do with MilkyS rom's BLN support.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seeraj15:
Actually in some roms this doesnt work. Is there another solution to keeping the animations but not the screen off crt animation?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chronicl3z:
Yes im running cm7 nightly and my display animations are off and the window animation and the other setting are On.. but i still get the crt animation when i turn on my phone and its annoying to wait 10 seconds for my screen to show up lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WILMANS2M:
yeah you can by modifying a file in framework-res.

look for res\values\bools.xml

then find <bool name="config_animateScreenLights">xxx</bool

Replace the xxx by false or true.

ex : If you have true, type false.

hope it helps.

[Galaxy Tab General] Morkai Almandragon:
OK I have spent about 2 weeks now looking through roms, kernels, root methods etc etc.

I have come to one conclusion. IT SUCKS owning a Verizon tab on this forum.

Most of the guides are accurate, but often miss one little detail that anyone who knows this stuff would think "duh" about, but a noob will miss, and end up reflashing stock from heimdall 10 times over because of.

Long story short, I would like to see a Verizon guide here on the development section that is kept up to date and has proper links to working roms as well as IDIOT PROOF walk throughs.

I would be willing to do this, or someone else can, I do not care. I will edit this very post so that it can serve said purpose if it gets made a sticky, or added to a sticky thread.

In this spirit I will later edit this post but I have a few questions/requests first.

1. I have never had the need to host files for large numbers. I use my own server to host things, but I know I cannot do that for this. Can someone PM me with what would be the best method to host files for people (IE It seems one service somewhere will add links through direct downloads, Megaupdload, Rapidshare etc at the same time).

2. Correct me if I am wrong. Heimdall seems to be the best root method. Heimdall + the ec02 files = the most stable and fully robust and stable rom for the VSTG (Verizon SGT).

3. The Verizon SGT Bootstrapper will convert to Ext4 and add CWM, but results in a broken camera and rotation, the latter of which I have a fix for, but not the camera. Dos any other way of adding CWM work better?

4. Sprint has a completely working update to GB, that works on the VSGT as well, minus radio function. I read somewhere what steps had to be taken to get the 3g radio working as well, but have since not been able to find it. If someone who reads this knows, could you please post or PM me where to begin fixing the radio on the sprint rom to work with the VSGT?
[Galaxy Tab General] Oditius:
Please tell me how you fixed the rotation? I can deal with no camera, the one in my phone is better anyway.
[Galaxy Tab General] mnpolock:
I am not the greatest help in the world....but have a VSGT and will help where i can.
[Galaxy Tab General] Oditius:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14954414&postcount=8

There is the thread that will fix the rotation bug... Now if I can get the camera working... LoL :D
[Galaxy Tab General] Morkai Almandragon:
Do not run a kernel that requires Ext4 and both work perfectly.

IE use Heimdall and install the ec02 firmware, then stop. Everything seems to work, without any fix required.
[Galaxy Tab General] Oditius:
Man, I wish I spoke french... Because that is what the above looks like to me. :D My camera doesn't work, and I didn't do anything but root it, and install that Verizon Bootstrapper. Well at least the rotation works, still don't know what to do about the camera. :confused:
[Galaxy Tab General] GavinMazey:
I used the verizon bootstrapper after restoring to completely stock ec02 and rooting with super one click. Then used heimdall to flash psirens kernel and then flash psirens rc 2.5. From here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1147277&highlight=vzw

and my camera and rotation work great after replacing the sensors.so file to fix rotation. Currently I am overclocked to 1.4ghz with voltage control and all is running flawlessly and fast.
[Galaxy Tab General] Morkai Almandragon:
How exactly did you install the kernel and rom? can you post a step by step

?
[Galaxy Tab General] Oditius:
Step by step and with links on everything that you need. Written so easy to understand so a person with no experience can knock it off with no problem. :D
[Galaxy Tab General] LordLugard:
Me, I'm on a stock but rooted VSGT, and I'm fine with it really. Only thing I do wish for is a 2.3 update from VZW. I don't care about OC'ing, Tab is very snappy enough for me and battery life is very good.

I looked into flashing the Sprint update but thought against it because I need 3g.

Recently got a Nexus S4G and running MIUI on it, and boy, I wish we could get a MIUI port on our tab. Those guys are just dang good and crazy.
[Galaxy Tab General] GavinMazey:
Ok here is what I did.

1. Get the stock un-rooted un-updated firmware from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1136587&highlight=verizon

2. Follow this guide to flash the files you got in step 1 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=967175&highlight=verizon+stock+firmware

3. After you have flashed back to stock and booted up into android then update through android to ec02.

4. Download super one click from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682 and follow the instructions on that page.

5. You now should be rooted. Now download the verizon bootstrapper off the market and run it.

6. After that has completed download the rom/kernal and follow the instructions on this page http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1147277&highlight=vzw.

7. Alright now you should be rooted with a custom kernal and rom installed your camera should work. If your rotation doesn't work then get the sensors.default.so from here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14954414&postcount=8 and follow the guide.

That's exactly what I did and my camera/rotation work fine.

If you want to overclock use voltage control from the market.
[Galaxy Tab General] Oditius:
So, I have to go back to square one, where I started. and do everything all over again?

The use SOC to root it.

Then run the program that knocked out my camera/rotation again.

So I will be right back where I am now.

Then I have to update the kernel.

Then install a new rom.

And it should work.

OK, thanks...
[Galaxy Tab General] Oditius:
Never mind, if I go back to square one, I will just stop and not go any farther. My GT was fast enough without doing all that. So I will wait, maybe someone will come up with a fix for the camera that was as easy to fix as the rotation. I don't video chat and my Mesmerize has a better camera and easier to use.
[Galaxy Tab General] GavinMazey:
Yes that is what i did after trying to flash a voodoo kernel and getting stuck at the Samsung logo many times. I flashed back to stock and started over. Not sure when the camera started working in the process, I had checked after everything was installed. Also im not sure if psirens rom even flashed or not because everything looked exactly the same and still had the Verizon bloatware installed which I just removed with titanium backup. Im not sure if i have ext4 or not would there be a way to check?
[Galaxy Tab General] Oditius:
The thing is I never flashed the voodoo kernel. I rooted the GT last week. Yesterday I was reading around, obviously not as well or completely as I should have. But I was going to flash a new rom and it stated I had to do the Bootstrapped first. So I downloaded it and that was when all heck broke loose. I read later on in the thread that the camera stopped working and so did the rotation. Well the rotation had a fix, but the camera doesn't. Oh well, I will keep looking, maybe if I just start at #6 because that is where I stopped.
[Galaxy Tab General] Morkai Almandragon:
ok What I am finding is this. Flashing the EC02 files through Heimdall result in a rooted Froyo rom that runs stable and decent, but without CWM.

You can then use the Verizon Bootstrapper on the market which flashes a new kernel that includes CWM. The new kernel breaks the camera and rotation though. Flash the better than life kernel and camera is fixed, followed by the rotation fix and you are now back to close to stock with root, and CWM...

Here is where I lose my way though. The Psirens rom looks JUST like the EC02 Heimdall install I have. I will post the files I am using once I get a host I am happy with.
[Galaxy Tab General] GavinMazey:
This is exactly what I think except that the ec02 files I linked will take you back to full unrooted stock where as the files from the tutorial for flashing ec02 I linked will leave it rooted but with stock ec02. I also cannot tell a difference between stock ec02 and psirens ec02 they look exactly the same. I almost wonder if cwm is not flashing the rom correctly. But even if it didn't you get a stable ec02 experience with a overclockable kernel which is all I was really looking for in the first place. I also could not get the voodoo kernal to work period I flashed it several times and always got stuck at the samsung screen on boot. My tab is much faster now and im pretty happy with it. Now if we could just get a stable gingerbread or maybe even honeycomb ill be all over that.
[Galaxy Tab General] GavinMazey:

[Galaxy Tab General] Coolsaber57:
If you guys want a stock ROM, converted to ext4, just ODIN Boushh's kernel then (if you're on the newest VZW update EC02) replace the file in that thread that fixes auto rotation.
[Galaxy Tab General] GavinMazey:
Boushh's kernel will not work for me I always get stuck at the samsung boot screen. Im flashing with heimdall though because I only use linux and i do not think there is a version of odin for linux.

Instructions (Thanks to Wolfie083188) on how to install on a VZW tab:

how to get this to work on the VZW tab if you plan to use wifi only as myself.

this is what i did.

you will need heimdall, you should know where to find it.

heres how to do it, FOLLOW STEP BY STEP, im not responsible if you bork your tab.

1. download the file

2. extract to a folder named: gingerbread.

3. extract the pda file.

4. you should now have a zimage, and a factoryfs file.

5. open up heimdall frontend

6. place factoryfs.rfs in the Factoryfs section

7. place zimage in the kernel section

8. place zimage in the recovery section

9. click start.

10. after flash is completed, tab will restart but loop on second samsung animation.

11. hold power + vol+ untill tab turns off, when the tab turns on, let go of ONLY the power button and continue to hold the vol+ button until the recovery menu opens up.

12. wipe user data and cache

13. restart tab.

you should now have working gingerbread on your VZW tab.

Note: It is reported that the 3g is not working, I don't have paid service so I cannot confirm or deny.
[Galaxy Tab General] GavinMazey:
Nice guide but my problem is that I need my 3g working so i think i have to stick with verizon roms. Unless there is a way to get 3g working with a sprint rom?
