[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DBachi78:
It's been a while since I have messed with Root on my phone since putting on Iced Glacier 1.6 for 2.2.1 Android for my MyTouch 4G.

So I need a little help or clarification.

Following this post directions:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1175536

I updated to the 2.3.4 ROM and for some reason occasionally get the phone showing the "MyTouch" white screen after exiting an app.

Also get "MySense" failed to load or forceclosed when starting up the phone. I think that is what it says...

I re-installed my apps using Titanium Backup, but I think I am missing a few even though I made a full App and System back up the night before doing any of this new ROM rooting. I also did a "Fix Permissions" in ROM Manager.

1: Is Footballs the most basic stable rooted ROM out right now?

Or what is recommended for battery length and smoothness?

2: How does Virtuous Unity compare in stability and speed and battery life compared to other ROMs right now?

I liked Iced Glacier for it's baseness and speed and lack of bloat-ware and I don't change ROMs often. I want one that works and is stable and I want to stick to it.

Not wanting to brick my phone moving to new stuff.

My other big question is:

After installing Footballs Rooted ROM, I still get the 2.3.4 OTA update reminder.

How do I remove that ????

And yes I did a lot of searching before posting this in order to refresh my brain but could not find a precise answer...

So thank you to anyone that can help with these questions and steer me in the right direction.......

:)

I run virtuous unity on one of my my touch 4gas and it is stable and all functions work including tango,,, love the fact there is no bloatware.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eqjunkie829:
It all depends on what you like actually. For a stable rom that you will stick with for awhile that is just like the update to 2.3.4 without the bloat. I would recommend GenerationX v5, its the most up to date rooted/debloated stock version. If you like sense, but not mysense. They Virtuous Unity 1.29 seems to be the favorite stable right now. Keep in mine there are AOSP roms out there like faux's and cm7 that people enjoy as well which are excellent speeds and awesome battery life over stock type roms.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DBachi78:
Thanks for the replies so far.

I'm honestly not sure what the difference between Sense and MySense is since I don't keep up with this stuff anymore.

And if I flash one of the ROMs I of course need to make a full wipe and then install. will this erase the homepage icons and need to re-install all my apps again ?

Like i said before i'm not looking for flashy themes, just no issues & good battery life & speedy response when doing things on the phone.

Thanks again for the help....:)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antic604:
I tried to find answer to this everywhere but failed so far - does anyone know what changes / fixes were introduced in the latest 3.x Mb update? Btw, contrary to some reports, it did not bricked mine nor blocked the bootloader (I'm on rooted P7510 with stock 3.1 + TW).

Thanks in advance and sorry if it's already covered elsewhere :-)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mad96:
I don't want to sound dumb here but this dinc2 is nuthing like my tbolt so I guess my question is when you flash any Rom will it chnge kernels to be able to overclock? Or do I have to flash a stock rooted kernel? If so could someone pm or post a link? I'm on gb 2.3.3 with a 2.6.35-9 stock rooted s-off.

BOLTED DOWN....
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Zelmo88:
Several of the new ROM's have overclocked kernals (should be listed in the Rom description). There are also kernals you can flash in the Dinc2 Development forum....TIAMAT for AOSD Rom's and Jcase has one for Sense Rom's. They both seem to work pretty well.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] HandOfReform:
So yesterday I flashed my phone with a bad ROM and got it back to life using ODIN, however now whenever I try to go into clockwork recovery the tablet just powers off, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here I've already tried to flash the CWM 4.x.x.x using ODIN PDA as some threads have recommended but I get the same results every time...whats up with this?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mughalgxt:
restore stock recovery, get rooted, install rom manager from android market and install cwm recovery 4004 from it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kulset:
As the thread indicates, my device is bricked.

Can't turn it on, screen is black no matter what.

Even when holding Volume Up and Power screen is black, BUT i can connect through APX,

It's is a B70 device and this happened after what you can call a not so successful root attempt.

Got some error messages (dont remember which, been a while since) and now it does not turn on.. Tried other root methodes but it also comes up with an error.

Any help would be DEEPLY apriciated! :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kirotan:
Assuming that your device has the new SBK, you have voided your warranty and cannot currently unbrick it.

You can do many things now. You can use it as a paper weight, or a melee weapon. You can use it as a tray to serve food on. OR, you can wait until someone locates the correct SBK, which will allow you to unbrick it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] finalhit:
might help if you described what you did to get to where you are.

if you tried the nvflash method for rooting, some b70s are actually rootable via this method...and nvflash cannot modify your device (either flash or format partitions) without the proper key.

if you manage to "brick" your device via nvflash, it's possible you have the earlier b70s with the old keys. therefore, you may not be screwed. it's possible you merely place the img files in the wrong place, and nvflash formatted your device, and failed to flash the images.

again, more details would be helpful. in nvflash mode, your device stays black until you feed it the proper key. the way you determine if it's connected to your computer is if you hear your computer do that "connected" sound. you can also check your device manager if it has detected your tf. have you tried connecting it to a different computer?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DilloDroid:
See if you can get it to reboot by holding down the power button for 10 seconds or more...or until it reboots
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
Ok, like mentioned already above by finalhit, you either did not put the img files in the nvflash folder or you have a newer B70 with new SBK.

When doing nvflash did you extract the 3 img files and place it inside the root folder of nvflash?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmmccann:
Little irked about this 10 post minimum crap so I can't post this in the forum that it applies to but whatever -

Have a rooted Asus pad running revolver 2.1.3. Since day 1 I (preroot) have not been able to get quadrant to run properly. Cpu tests are skipped and I get a service call failed messahe when I try to submit and view my score. Wifi is active and working, have tried a fix permissions, data and cache wipe and still a no go. Anyone have any suggestions or encountered this before?

Secondly I am getting a service not responding wait/fc error on startup from recovery. Cold boot doesn't produce the problem but the reboot after having been in cwm results in the hang. I try to restart and it locks up and eventually reboots itself. Any ideas on where to start with this?

Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwiftLegend:
Quadrant means nothing..really no point of trying to get it to work if it doesn't. Your recovery problem I have no idea, all I can say is try reflashing CWM and see if that works. You can probably try going back to stock and then re-root/install CWM from scratch.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mediumsteak:
Hah hah hah, i get the the service call failed message too.

After trying a few times, i said f--k this, and gave up.

Why bother wasting time on some scores that mean nothing in real life, just enjoy the tablet!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmmccann:
Whether or not you guys find it useful has no bearing on this discussion. I find it useful to have something to base performance tweaks on. If there is another program out there that would accomplish this, I would love to know about it because I have always used quadrant for lack of knowing about anything else. I am looking for either a fix or another program to work with, not smartass comments.

I'll try reflashing recovery and see if it clears up that issue. Thanks for the suggestion.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leerobson99:
Smart bench 2011 is ok, gives productivity and gaming index, specialised for dual core devices.

Quadrant is more useful or tailored for snapdragon devices I have heard.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwiftLegend:
Quadrant is a useless estimate in the performance of a device. Being able to get, for example, 1020 one time, and after a "tweak" getting 1030 means absolutely nothing. Best estimate in performance is your own opinion and real world use. If something feels snappy or more responsive, but still gives you the same quadrant score, then keep it - don't try to make the score higher.

My droid 1 used to get a low quadrant score, but it felt snappy and fast so I didn't give a crap.

Quadrant is like Windows Index Experience, it means nothing. My 6 core 3.3GHz cpu, 30GB SSD, and GTX 550 ti only gets a 5.3 on WIE, but it boots up in less than 30 seconds and runs everything I throw at it with flying colors.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebadfrog:
This is the reason for the 10 post minimum. This doesn't belong in development.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmmccann:
I agree with part 1, however part 2 manifested after flashing Revolver. It has not resurfaced with his latest version so I will chalk it up as a bug.

I grouped my questions together for simplicity rather than posting two new topics. Fair enough?

Leerobson- thanks for the app suggestion.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diablosblizz:
Hey,

So I purchased an AT&T Samsung Focus off of eBay, and am using a Rogers SIM in Canada. I've read everything, and I am aware that a lot of people are getting this fixed, however everybody seems to be running NoDo or lower. Unfortunately, I am running the Mango "RTM."

I was able to get 3G working by setting up APN settings, but I can't get MMS to work, nor am I able to send out mass text messages (to more than one person).

Is there any fix for my Mango phone, without downgrading? Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laquox:
There are multiple answers to this question on this very forum. Try the search feature please but this usually works for everyone that has mms problems. How to get MMS working on LG, Samsung, and HTC
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diablosblizz:
I have already tried this, and requires me to downgrade to something that isn't Mango. Mango doesn't allow the "interop capabilities" library, and as far as I know there isn't any Mango registry editors.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laquox:
Are you not unlocked? If you are unlocked then all you need do is make the provxml or use the one already made then use the samsung diag thing to run the provision. You can also try this which will show you how to run the provxml file to get the flag set.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diablosblizz:
Unfortunately, I am only developer unlocked, I should have mentioned that in the original post. My apologies. I want to downgrade back to NoDo, and re-unlock my phone but I don't want to lose my text messages. I'm almost on the edge of doing it, because having a smart phone without MMS is pointless.

Do you know of any way I can keep my text messages, or more specifically the ones from a specific person?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laquox:
If you are developer unlocked then this should work. You just need to follow the instructions in that other thread to get the provxml file to your phone. On my original thread download the xap open it with winzip or winrar (or whatever) copy the Custclear.provxml file to a directory of your choice. And then just follow the instructions in that last thread I linked to make your samsung provision properly.

Alternatively you could try this tool which allows you to set the ADC flag so you can get your mms running again. Since you are developer unlocked you should be able to run that tool on your samsung.

You could also try downloading "Network Profile" app from the Marketplace in the Samsung Zone section. And see if that works

To my knowledge this is not possible yet.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diablosblizz:
I actually managed to figure it out, Samsung has a handy tool in the marketplace that does this all for you. MMS is now working perfectly. :D I had tried this in the past, but the Samsung marketplace was bugged for me.

So, for anybody on 7720 with a Samsung Focus without MMS working download the app called "Network Profile" under the Samsung Zone in the Marketplace.

Thank you for your help Laquox
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Grand Pooh-Bah:
I downloaded the network profile but do not see any options to make changes to the APN settings for MMS.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veener79:
My fiance is looking for a new phone. We are currently on ATT. The problem is she loves her long nails. She wants to get a andriod phone but none of the nicer ones have a full keyboard. As far as I know none of the touchscreen keyboards will work with her long nails. Am I correct with this or is there a phone that will work with her long nails and not be a issue?

She does not like the small HTC phone that looks like a blackberry.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veener79:
Can anyone help?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrphil101:
capacitive touch screens would not work so well with the long nails. Resistive touch should work quite well. Accuracy would probably be pretty good for her. Probably have to dig into the specs to find that.
[Xperia Play General] Alejandrissimo:
Hello

As you know, locked SEMC Android devices now can be unlocked by SETool software.

The adventages of SETool unlocking:

Unlock SIM for any carrier

Unlock Bootloader and enable fastboot without mess with DRM data (SEUS updates still works)

Easy testpoint process no need disassembly the phone. Just need a piece of wire for a bridge.

You need to know that SETool is a paid software and needs a special hardware (dongle) to be able to use, also even if you have the SETool dongle you need to buy 5 SETool server credits to unlock Android phones.

I can offer to anyone who wants to unlock the bootloader & sim and don't have SETool box my dongle to connect remotely so you don't need to buy any special and expensive hardware.

ALL PROCESS ITS MADE BY ME VIA REMOTE CONTROL, YOU ONLY NEED TO ATTACH AND DETACH THE PHONE WHEN NEEDED :D

Please contact me via PM if you are interested.

Otherwise if you have SETool box you can follow the next guide to unlock your bootloader by yourself.

Greetings

[Xperia Play General] Alejandrissimo:
First, need to download this files:

SETool Lastest version

USB Over network (For Remote Dongle)

Teamviewer (For Remote Support)

After connect the remote dongle you will be able to run SETool Software and look like this:

There is a log from a identify option with an LT15 connected.

The unlocking process is easy to do.

First, after install USB Flash drivers, same as flashtool and select corect settings on setool just click on Unlock/Repair button and connect the phone in flash mode (with back key pressed)

Second, this message will appear:

DETACH USB CABLE FROM PHONE

REMOVE BATTERY FROM PHONE

ATTACH TESTPOINT

PRESS "READY", THEN ATTACH USB CABLE TO PHONE

Now we detach the cable and remove the battery and attach the testpoint with a piece of wire like in this pictures:

Now hold on the testpoint and connect the cable to the phone again and press ready on SETool, a new hardware will be detected. Install the drivers.

When you see:

PROCESSING ...

REMOVE TESTPOINT NOW, THEN PRESS "READY"

release the testpoint bridge and if you want remove the wire from negative pin and press READY button and you will see this:

PLEASE ATTACH TURNED OFF PHONE NOW

PRESS AND HOLD "BACK" BUTTON ...

After this you need to connect the phone again in flash mode (back key pressed)

When you see this:

Your bootloader and sim are unlocked and fastboot enabled.
[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
Can anyone confirms this works with the Play? the test point on the Play looks to be in a different place as there is no sticker and the sd card is right next to the sim slot on the Play?
[Xperia Play General] Alejandrissimo:
Yes it works

The testpoint is different. The pics are from my Arc but the testpoint in play is in other place but easy aswell
[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
Where is the test point on the Play? it could be anywhere!? :confused:

EDIT, ignore me, found it in the doc folder!

Will test and report results :)
[Xperia Play General] Alejandrissimo:
I don't have my pc right now but if you download the SETool software posted there is a picture on /docs
[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
The SETool software won't open for me, just says "smartcard error" :(
[Xperia Play General] Alejandrissimo:
No need to open the software to see the pics in /docs folder.
[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
I know but i'm trying to run the software now but it just gives an error, what dongle is needed?

Is there any clearer instructions anywhere as it doesn't say the exact setup, what the teamviewer software and usb-over-network-client is for, what do we do with them?
[Xperia Play General] Alejandrissimo:
That's this post offers a remote dongle to use SETool.

But now I'm go to sleep if you are interested pm me
[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
So your trying to sell us a remote dongle to use this? we can't use it without?
[Xperia Play General] Clyzm:
No, it clearly says at the top that it's done remotely via software.

Going to give this a shot in the morning. Alejandrissimo, could you clarify the bit about the testpoint? From what I'm seeing, you're just connecting two contacts. Why would I need a wire for this as opposed to say... a screwdriver?
[Xperia Play General] Blagus:
dongle for setool is provided remotely.

you need wire because you have to connect both gnd and testpoint.

tp on play is under the sticker under battery.
[Xperia Play General] zerojay:
Blagus, is this the same method you were working on for unlocking simlocked Plays?
[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
The SETool software won't open for me, just says "smartcard error" any ideas?

Also, what are the "credits" for? do you have to pay?
[Xperia Play General] Blagus:
Yes, same method, but without dongle, only credits and USB cable.

You have to contact OP for dongle providing.

Yes, you have to pay for credits.
[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
How come? what is the "dongle providing" exactly?

Sorry, just a tad confused lol!
[Xperia Play General] Blagus:
Ask OP for details.
[Xperia Play General] Alejandrissimo:
My dongle is connected to your pc over network :)
[Xperia Play General] d31b0y:
Do you know where we can buy credits in bundles of less than 30 or will one person have to buy 30 and sell the surplus?

For those wondering, 30 credits works out at about 90 USD or 15 USD for an unlock if you can buy 5.

I am open to correction.

Op you deserve thanks for you offer. I'm sure there are plenty around who wouldn't do the same.

Xperia Pro (MK16a) from Fido in Canada

Anyone done this to unlock an Xperia Pro (MK16a) from Fido in Canada? This phone is SIM locked by Fido, so all the normal processes for bootloader unlocking don't work. :( At least, none of the ones I've tried.
