Does link2sd work on an s-offed, rooted stock rom?

Tnx
[HTC ChaCha] skezza:
yes, it does.

I am going to reignite this thread as the original post was never answered.

Can Data2EXT be used on the ChaCha with a rooted stock ROM. Link2SD can be used, but Data2EXT requires a little more. It would be really positive if it could.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krillin:
Hey guys. I was planning on picking up a r800a. This may sound like a silly question but what is considered a good price for these? I've been checking out different sellers online and I've seen prices as high as $600. I know that a few of you have picked up from private sellers. Would you mind telling me the price you paid? If you don't want to post in this thread you can PM me. Thanks a lot!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_Newtype:
I personally picked a new one up around two months ago for around $500, but I believe the phone is worth about $400-$450 now (in mint condition with all accessories + some extras). $600 is a little steep for this device at this stage in the game.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krillin:
Thanks for the info. Is there any difference between the r800a from Canada (rogers) vs the r800a from the Google IO conference?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deoxlar:
Don't buy from private seller of its going to cost that much... Warranty is way better when you buy from big companies. Any problems, they let you change and refund without hassle.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krillin:
I thought I read somewhere that it can be unlocked to work with ATT? Well, it doesn't matter, I just picked up the dev model from someone that attended the Google I/O conference. I turned it on but haven't really used it yet. I'm waiting for my phantom skinz protector to arrive.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdlaurin:
Sorry i mean the bootloader is factory locked. Still a good phone but only half as good as unlockable plays. Rogers phone = no custom roms, no overclocking, no custom kernals.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krillin:
Wow. I guess I lucked out then. I almost bought the Rogers version. Hmm... I could have sworn that the bootloader was unlockable though. I don't plan on rooting any time soon so I guess it wouldn't have mattered anyway.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatsupnow:
there is a way to unlock rogers bootloader already its not free but whatever its not that big a deal and plus Ive read around the arc forum that Blagus is working on a way to unlock too for factory bootloader locked phones he also said it wouldnt be free but it would be really cheap. so yea thats where that sits check arc forum lots have done it already and more are about to do it :):)

I bought my Play through EBay for about $320 myself - of course wasn't new but came with everything plus a case. I almost had one that went $375 came with the docking station.

Rogers based - paid $15 to get it unlocked for other networks (not unlocked bootloader) and rooted. Currently running the UK Rom.

afaik only telstra units and google io units are unlockable, i paid $445AU for my new telstra unit about a month ago.

i wasnt sure that the bootloader would be unlockable when i bought it, but i had the feeling it would be based on telstras history since they operate the only 850mhz network in australia..anyways, it paid off....damn happy.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krillin:
^^ cool!

Yeah, I'm just waiting for my skin protector to come in before I start playing with the phone.

I also noticed that letstalk.com is offering the Verizon xperia play for $0 with 2yr new activation, if anyone is interested in that.

Back to protectors; I heard that all SE xperia phones have some sort of film on the glass that can be peeled off. Are they meant to be left on? I am just wondering if I should peel it off before applying my skin protector on it.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reapman:
I paid $30 at a kiosk to get my phone protection (full body) I heard there's a film on them but not sure what the scoop was. Mine was used but 90% sure previous owner didn't remove any protection on it and my new screen protection hasn't caused any issues whatsoever. I'd say your PROBABLY safe but hopefully someone else knows better then I :)

Thinking of buying my next Android phone. At the moment thinking of Samsung Galaxy S II but looking for some advice on what would be a good alternative.

Pleae let me know your preference with some comments as to why.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Zorachus:
Doing dishes this morning, and dropped my Nexus-S 4G in the water, I grabbed it lightning quick, was only dipped into the water for like 1/10th of a second. But now Bluetooth doesn't work, and the speaker for media is garbled and low sound. Other than that the phone seems to be working ok, but it's only been an hour.

I had it rooted with Oxygen ROM, and LOVED the screen colors, if the phone does flake out and I need a new device, would you recommend the Photon ? I did have the EVO-3D already for a couple weeks, returned it for the Nexus, I wasn't a fan of Sense, and the screen looked washed out.

I did like my Nexus-S 4G, awesome screen...lightweight...feels comfortable in hand...but the biggest beef is hands down the crap signal issue, WiFi, and 3G inside my house is non existent, overall download speeds blow on the Nexus. I was rooted with Oxygen 2.21 and running the Matr1x kernels. But even at stock 2.3.4 or stock 2.3.5 signal/network blew, and rooted with the ROM was no better, still crap connection to the network.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jfenton57:
I will tell you know based on the issues I had with 3 units....and someone else will tell you they have never had an issue and it's a killer phone and I wouldn't doubt them for a second.

Honestly, do some reading, check this forum, the Motorola Photon owners forum and the Sprint community forum and see what you think for yourself.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Zorachus:
Went to the local Sprint store, they had two Photon's on display to use. No offense, but that phone is garbage. Both units felt very laggy...the screen was washed out...Motoblur is disgusting...

My rooted Nexus-S 4G felt night and day smoother/faster, and the colors on my screen were a HUGE difference, as in way better quality and deep blacks and bright colors, the Photon looked bad. Vanilla stock Android is one hundred times better than Motoblur.

I am shocked for the Nexus-S being a bit dated tech wise, it is still my favorite phone of all the Sprint phones out today, I had the EVO 4G which was great last year, but is now slower and dated...bought the EVO-3D returned 3 weeks later, it was cool, just not a big fan of Sense, and the screen colors were just ok, picked up the Nexus-S 4G rooted it and installed Oxygen 2.2.1 ROM + Matr1x 6.0 kernel and this phone is a beast :) And I am sorry, but the Photon is the worst of the four phones I have tried, no offense.
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
If you loved the Nexus you will love this. Development is a bit hindered due to the locked/unlocked not 4G bootloader but we have a great rom out with a work around for 4G.

The Mo-Pho is as close as you can get to stock android without calling it AOSP
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jjday7:
I have to say that I personally just tried the nexus with the one click root and loaded about three roms. The phone seems very outdated and doesn't come with simple things that phones should come with. No led light to show its charging or fully charged. No led for notificiations. Bad Wifi and radio with or without the new update. Less ram and no Sd card slot.

I take no offense to your opinion but my Nexus went back the same day and I was back to the photon. Samsung and google dropped a phone that was outdated before it even hit the market and even though google supports the software. Things like radio issues are controlled by Samsung and we all know how much they support their products (sarcasm). I wouldn't buy a samsung product after my experience. Oh and I left out the back button bug where it gets stuck for 10 seconds when pressing it. All these bugs showed within 24hours. I didn't see anywhere near these amount of bugs on the photon. I only have the silent call bug and that should be a easy fix.
[Motorola Photon 4G] HondaCop:
Judging a phone by units up for display in a Corporate store... No offense but THAT is garbage... God knows how many people have messed around with those phones and even messed with it's settings. And you are comparing a ROOTED phone with a highly tweaked out ROM/Kernel to a floor model at a Sprint store? Yup, very scientific apples to apples comparison.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Zorachus:
Point taken. Would love to see a Photon that has been tweaked and optimized. But with the Galaxy S2 to be announced next week for Sprint, might as well wait for a solid release date first.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ncadden:
The Photon can't run sense based rom's though, correct?

That's probably my biggest beef with it, but to be honest, I don't know that I even like sense that much or even use any of the features it has that aosp rom's don't have. When I ran Fresh, I used launcher pro, now I've switched to synergy, & while I'm actually using sense 3.0 now I must say that the very first thing I do is remove all those annoying ass battery eating widgets & just wind up with my app's, my clock, my calendar & a music widget.

I'm pretty torn on which one to upgrade to but my wife needs to upgrade from her bb & I'm due for an upgrade so I'm thinking I'll wind up giving her my evo & taking whatever new phone she gets off of her hands for her. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
Neither can the GSII.......but roms and such can get ported....your loss
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Also, look in the 3d forum, the Nexus s forum, the SGS2 forum, they all have a list of problems a mile long. That's what people post, problems. If your phone is running smooth, you tend not to post as much. Every phone released will have some units with problems. Mine has been almost flawless, but I know some have had problems. At least with Sprint you have 30 days to make up your mind. But really, don't make up your mind on any phone just by how the display model functions.
[Motorola Photon 4G] twospirits:
Ok, I am surprised no one has touched on this, but why are you washing dishes with the phone nearby. That is just inviting disaster. :eek:

lmao, I don't mean to laugh but that was too funny.

yeah, there are those that will no matter what is said or shown will not like the Photon, be it the display, the shape, the almost hidden Blur etc etc. But myself coming from HTC phones and Sense, especially with the EVo 4G, I was totally taken back by the Photon. Its a much better phone. True, some have experienced an issue or two, but if one follows the instructions to the T as mentioned throughout the Development section, the issues will be tiny or fixed.

Not for nothing, but the display is one that for me at least can be useful outside in direct sunlight. Its almost Pixel Qi to me.

TS
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Here's an "out of the box" short list of Photon vs Everything Else:

Direct sunlight readable screen- Photon

Full HDMI Mirroring- Photon

DLNA- Photon, Epic, 3D, GS2, Nexus?

USB Host- Photon, Nexus?

Full Desktop Browser: Photon

Full Bluetooth Stack- Photon, Nexus, Epic, GS2?

As far as the comment about store demo lagging. Come to my store. My demo runs Hulu via WebTop AND Netflix via phone window at the same time on a 32in TV with not much more than buffering issues.

In short. The Photon is a damn good phone and this is coming from someone that still refuses to ditch the Evo Desktop PC.

Calkulin is around here somewhere to. Wait, what are you doing over here? Somebody told me you went 3D.
[Motorola Photon 4G] scoobdude:
I had a nexus s for 3 weeks before getting the photon. Here are my thoughts.

1 photon is much better in sunlight while nexus had more pop out colors

2 photon battery life is much better than the nexus (i get 30 hrs on the photon... no matter you habits you will not get that on a nexus s )

3 blur is almost asop but adds a good dialer and a few other things

4 led light on photon which is not fully working but there at least

5 both are pentile screens bit photon is higher res and brighter

6 i feel more confident holding the photon due to heft, backing, and the rolled over edges.

7 photon feels better on my ear than any other phone, not sure why just no shap edge any where. Nexus felt better on my face though.

8 signal is better on the photon

9 little tweaks make it better like "most likely" in your starred contacts and a picture plus widget

10 i think both have the anti fingerprint/ don't wash out in direct sunlight screen, but the photon add gorilla glass to it

11 2 external mics to cut down on background noise. Nexus s went software vs the original nexus

12 photon will do the dishes for you !!!!

In short yes IMHO the photon is better....WAY better.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dirkyd3rk:
I did lol but my friend won a photon in a raffle and he doesnt have Sprint so he sold it to me for 100 bucks. I hate the 3D but this phone is amazing.

I`ve got a rooted MB861 and I followed a thread a while ago to install the beta 3 swype.

When I tried to install the Gingerbread OTA, it aborts because of swype.

"assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/Swype.apk" ....... ")

E:Error in /cache/Blur_Version.4.1.210.MB861.KT.en.KR.zip

I'm assuming it has to do with my replacing the original Swype apk and lib files with the betas.

Problem also that I no longer have the backup of the originals on my external SD card that burned out a couple of months ago.

Is there a way I can update by bypassing swype during update, or without losing everything?

Am I screwed here?

[Motorola Photon 4G] lroy:
ok, so in the 10 days that i took off work and spent all my money, i ended up trading in my beat up and torn apart EVO for the Photon. the evo took a hard beating through days 0-3 of the vacation and the photon picked up the remaining days. Bars and drinking have only so much blame :)

I was one of the first EVO owners fighting bugs, and here i am again one of the first Photon users in the battle again. so obviously its been over a year since ive jumped into rooting and all that JAZZ, and my body is going through Detox today :rolleyes: but it seems i had too many jeagerbombs if thats possible....

my question is, what steps and orders should i go though the list of to dos for rooting and recovery? on the EVO, from what i remember it was just Root, S-off, and recovery. but i dont remember too much details from a year ago.

does anyone have a suggestion or breakdown on what order is best to perform things? root first, then bootloader unlock, then custom recovery and then custom rom and such? if someone could post what order and verison of things they did things it, it would be great!

I owned the desire for about a year, flirted with the sgs for a short while and now i have gone for the dogs b.....ks, ive had the sensation for 3 days!

W.T.F. The battery life is aweful, sense fc's randomly screen doesn't appear to be any better than the desire and scrolling lists is aweful especially in my favourite friend stream and news widgets etc. etc. ...

On my desire i ran RCMixS which had sense 2.1 with sense 3.0 lockscreen and it ran far more smoothly than my new device and when i sold it i first reverted it to stock and it was like lightening!

On my new sensation i ran stock 2.33 and played with this and was most disappointed but luckily, i thought, 2.34 is available so i s-offed, rooted and tried a few 2.34 based modded roms. Not impressed so i went to stock 2.34 which was marginally better but still terrible.

What is going on here, htc's flagship phone and it's streets behind the sgs that i owned (sgs 1 that is!)

I loved the sense ui but why have htc released it this state??
