It's not vague. You download pudding and flash with RSD.

There's even a link to a step by step list

Just make sure you do ALL the steps. Don't skip to step 13. You have to flash pudding.

So this is the second time I have gone out of my home network and completely lost service.(get a 1x lock, then eventually lose all connectivity, just the circle with a line through it) Can't get back on the network without going to the store and doing afull factory restore, odin to stock won't solve it. Not sure what the problem is or why it happens, but I remember reading to never update prl while roaming when using jt's aosp roms so I assume something with roaming isn't quite fully functional. anyone else experienced this? Possibly even solved it without going to a uscc tech? Any input would be comforting, thanks!

Currently cm7 with glitch kernel.

The existing xrec from Flashroot doesn't play nice with 2.3.3, you need to use adb to force it to mount the sdcard and install the new xrecovery.

Hi,

Did someone tried already to unroot their U8150 Huawei Ideos after being flash to FUSIONIdeos or Dronix? I rooted my phone using Z4Root and im planning to unroot it. If someone tried it please post your experience and guide.

Thanks for advance reply. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winexes:
Anyone? :confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aorth:
Use z4root to unroot

Hey, this is pretty simple actually; you can unroot from z4root itself as of version 1.3.0. Just open it back up and click unroot. Download a new copy of z4root here if you've got an old version.

Basically, if you wanted to do this manually, all you need to do is remove the /system/xbin/su binary. The Superuser application is merely a frontend for the su binary, so it can stay (and is perfectly harmless). :)
[Galaxy 3 General] cheekrox:
Hi,

Is there any app which gives FB-integration for Samsung Galaxy 3, just like how HTC Sense integrates FB...with contact nos, pics et al...
[Galaxy 3 General] ahsanaimad:
I dont think everything can be done with a app... If we want a sense like integration we need a new ROM.. But I think Samsung already gives a good to use integration in contacts, gallery ets. Didnt you see that?
[Galaxy 3 General] Koucz87:
I think that someone didn't use the synchro with fb... When you will do that, sth will change for sure in contacts. Or use option of downloading contacts. Thats all.
[Galaxy 3 General] cheekrox:
Samsung gives integration of contacts with FB? How? I've been using the TouchWiz launcher for ages and still haven't seen that kind of an integration?!!
[Galaxy 3 General] mrn123:
Goto settings ---> Accounts ---> FB....Add your FB account and the contacts and calendars would be synchronized! You can also join your contacts with the FB contacts and the pics and other details would be synchronized with the phone contacts!

[Verizon Droid Charge] gunnermike:
i really dont have time to support to many roms. i of course will primarily supprt gummy. if navendrob releases a stable nameless, i will support that with what ever time i have left. i will NOT support humble or stock.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mrtruckincowboy:
whats wrong with humble ?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Spectredroid:
+ 1. What is wrong with humble? I love it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mbh87:
I dont see why most themes wouldnt work across the board, the various ROMs arent THAT different. So you guys really dont have to worry weather it says Gummy, Humble, etc. Just because it says its specifically for one ROM doesnt mean it wont work on another. Its just easy for themers to say they only support 1 ROM so they dont have to listen to people ***** if something goes wrong ;)
[Verizon Droid Charge] gunnermike:
lol. ive been trying to decide the nicest way to say this. mostly what you said is correct.

humble isnt a rom. its a "throm". that guy took gummy and themed it.....

thats it. thats all he did. not a rom.

[Verizon Droid Charge] afbar1114:
so i think i am going to be getting a charge to replace my fascinate since i am having issues. i have a few questions tho, i have been broswing the forums on how too root is it easy to root because the fascinate is very easy to root. and what are some good roms for the phone. and will is still have 4g if i root. sorry for the post i just need a few answers... that is alll
[Verizon Droid Charge] piizzadude:
Yes IMO it is easy to root the Charge. It takes some getting used to since the Charge is a bit different (not much) but it is just as easy once you get into it. As usual, read the threads on it and you will be fine.

Gummy, Humble and Eclipse are all fine roms for the Charge, it comes down to preference and what works best for you. I think GB is around the corner for us but we have some good leaks right now with very few issues if you want to go that route.

Yes, routing doesnt affect the 4G, you will still have it after root.

Overall, the Charge is a better phone than the Fascinate for the simple fact that it has all the advantages of the fassy as well as missing the flaws (your phone will ring when a call come through)

Good luck with your choice...I went the Charge route and couldnt be happier
[Verizon Droid Charge] fortesquieu:
Rooting isn't that hard on this phone.

You can pick some ROMs from this thread:

[Verizon Droid Charge] GreenMunky:
I got the Charge a few weeks ago after dealing with my defective Fascinate for 7 months. My wife still has a Fascinate and has tried a few times since I got mine to get the same replacement but the associates at Verizon (same store I went to to get my replacement shipped) tell her that the Charge offer has been discontinued and the only options now are the Dinc2 and the X2. Hope you have better luck.
[Verizon Droid Charge] emtee_skull:
I switched and LOVE IT.

But....another concern is....

I was at the Verizon store where I got my droid replacement ordered, Tuesday, getting my sim card setup. I was chit chatting with them and they said Samsung had ended the warranty replacement since the software update hit last Thursday. We were joking about it because I got mine ordered Wednesday night @ 8:30 pm. And they didn't know about the charge replacement. So the manager sent an email to all his employees about it so they would know. Then the next day they were told it was over.

If you're still getting missed calls after the update, I would press Verizon hard about it. Hope everything works out for ya.

The Thanks Button...

Be generous in your thanks to Developers as well as your fellow community members that help out. We tech nuts are a vain group of individuals, and tend to be more productive when we know others appreciate our work. Taking less than 10 seconds to click that "Thanks" button is likened to a high-five, fist-bump, atta-boy...and if you're NOT homophobic, a good old baseball pat on the arse!

Are you jealous that someone has more thanks than you? Contribute! Very rarely is info sharing frowned upon! Found a killer app you just can't live without? Tell someone! Share the knowledge...it's what XDA is meant to be! It's grown from a small Development community, into a massive one...with SO effin much to share with lovers of various devices.

Added Custom Boot Animations Thread 8/17
[Motorola Photon 4G] acjohnson55:
One known issue/fix that should be added is the problem of phone calls having no audio. This seems to be fixable by clearing out the app cache and rebooting--it has resolved the issue for me three times and seems to help everyone else who is having the problem. There is an extensive thread over at Motorola Support Forums, but I can't post the link because my post count is too low.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Bandage:
will add to list
[Motorola Photon 4G] LouieGrandie:
The best work around on the no audio on calls that no one seems to be mentioning is to just hit the Mute button. Notice that Sprint/Motorola mentions that Mute is on by default on some calls. When I read this the next time I received a no audio call I just hit Mute and there was the sound. I suspect some setting or app such as BlueTooth is causing this but never played around with it to determine. I just hit the Mute button and then after the call rebooted the phone which seemed to reset it o.k. This should be added to any list of fixes/work arounds.

Thanks to all the MOPHO guys

I wanted to say thank you to all of you that have posted ways to root the Photon, you made my decision to get the Photon over the Galaxy S2 a little easier. I'm due for an upgrade with Sprint today and haven't been able to decide which one to go with until I ran across all the developers posts on the Photon. It seems like it's easier to work with vs. the Galaxy and easier to root which is something I'll do most likely today. Not to mention Sprint is running a deal on the Photon now for $100 and a $50 rebate so how can i go wrong with that and XDA.

[Motorola Photon 4G] photonsnake:
I just wanted to know what the status is on Cyanogenmod 9 or any other custom rom that will allow me to keep all of my phone's features, especially 4G. I am hoping someone can send me some download links for the ROM and instructions; so far I have not found any, just references to Skinny and nothing else.

I was also wondering if anyone could help me with a profile update issue. I recently backed up SprintID with Titanium Backup and uninstalled the program and found out I can't update my phone's profile. I can still update the PRL but not my profile, which I cannot tell is a big deal or not; when I tried to restore SprintID I could not find the backup on the internal storage or the SD card. Any advice would be appreciated, thank you.
[Motorola Photon 4G] FernBch:
All the cm's are still in beta. Most works but bugs still exist. There is also Imperium Initiative and Rocko (not ics builds).

If you want 4G you will have to stay with a locked bootloader as unlocking borks 4G. There are versions of joker's skinny and Rocko that work with a locked bootloader.

I'm a MoPho-er
[Motorola Photon 4G] photonsnake:
Thanks for getting back to me. Is the profile update something that I need or is it unnecessary?
[Motorola Photon 4G] FernBch:
You don't need it for your MoPho to work. It's only needed to update your Sprint profile. To be sure if you want/need it make a backup with TiBu or equivalent and you can restore the app only after you flash something. If you find you need it just restore from TiBu, if you install it and don't need it you can freeze and uninstall it. The choice is yours.

Swype on MIUI install (Photon)

I probably should post this in the MIUI forum, but I'm not permitted yet ...

1. I miss Swype. Somewhere I read there is a way to get it back, but can;t find anymore. Can anyone help me get this keyboard back, pls?

2. The camera ... I've installed Camera Zoom FX for still photos, but what to get for video? The video camera on MIUI just doesn't quite work as well as the OEM Photon video camera which wasn't great to begin with. Any suggestions?

Otherwise, this MIUI port is awesome!!
