[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Greatbape:
Well I use my cellphone as a phone least of all. I text, browse, game, take pictures, etc more than I actually make or take calls on my phone. So the bigger the screen the better. I honestly don't know a single person outside of my parents that even have a landline, or prefers to talk over text. Most of my conversation are less than 15 minutes max.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sevenvt:
This is the biggest... If not slightly bigger than I would like. Bigger than I like in my hand. But small enough I overlook the monstrosity of it, because its screen is awesome. Would not go bigger. 4 is fine by me. somewhere between this and 4 inches would be great.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Silent25r:
5.5 in this case? It would have to be wider and the captive buttons would be small. But all I need is large home, small back and menu button. Search, all my years of android I've never used it.

The iPhone looks great at that size and is plenty usable imo.

It's going to be hard for me to get a smaller phone. This phone has taken my tablets job away and it is now the lay in bed reader.

You know what is a little depressing? We have little say in our phone size. If you want these specs then you will get this size. Not a lot of personal choice with the looks and size of devices. I would buy it if Sprint next phone was a 3.7 quad core phone with a awesome screen. And I would probably buy it at 4.65 because I love the specs, size is something I try to adjust to.

"The Samsung*Epic 4G Touch*is a triumph of engineering, jamming oh-so-very-much into an oh-so-little frame. What better way to celebrate its wonderous design, than to tear it all down to its constituent parts, and then reassemble it? Thank the guys at*iFixit, because they've already done it --*again. Interesting points include just a single EMI shield --*unlike some competitors*-- which is great news for those looking to emulate a tear-down of their own*Sprint-specific GSII. It could still prove to be a challenge, with both the glass panel and LCD apparently fused to the middle of the phone, meaning a replacement for that sumptuous 4.5-inch Super AMOLED Plus screen could prove costly. Click below for a pictorial blow-by-blow of the teardown, let's keep the drooling to a minimum, shall we?"

[General Questions and Answers] jhaims:
Hi,

I have a droid 2 that is currently running the leaked version of the gingerbread ROM that was released a few months ago. Now that Motorola has finally rolled out the official gingerbread update, I'd like to switch back to that. How would I go about doing this? Is there an official ROM that I could flash on to go back or an update that I could do?

Also, once I get on the official Gingerbread release, is there a way I could root the phone again? Has anyone tried rooting this release yet?

Thanks for your help,

Josh
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Palmaaa:
Hello everyone,

so i registered yesterday in this forum, know it for a while now but was never useful to me because the "coolest stuff" to do on my LG always was needed to root it and i was (and still am) a bit afraid of doing it, since i dont understand nothing about it but i heard it can mess up your phone. So i thought of posting something here.

So i have a LG P500 and yesterday i updated the firmware or software (dont know how to call it). Now i have the official Gingerbread udpate. I was a bit disappointed as i always wanted to have that locking animation that nexus S has.

Yes, i know you might tell me to use the search button but i looked for something similar and someone said something about rooting the phone to use the CM7.

So what i wanted to know is. What are the pros and cons with rooting. Do i need to "instal" CM7 or something like that to have that lock animation even having the 2.3.3 official update? Do you advice me to root my phone even though i bought it a few months ago?(like march or something)

Im sorry if i should searched a bit more but i think its better to just talk directly with people who understand this phone stuff better then i.

Thank you in advance!

Ps: Im portuguese and i know there are a few portuguese members here, if any of them could help me with this i would appreciate!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] viv_jen:
I myself upgraded to the LG 2.3 gingerbread firmware v20b

and it sucks to the core

i downgraded to froyo v10e the very next day itself

the pro's of rooting is that

you get access to the core android files

and use your phone to the max

(example overclock, customized ROM's,hardware acceleration etc)

in short you get a much better phone and no lg crap bloatware etc

the con's are

if rooting doesn't go properly you'll end up with a bricked phone

and your warranty will be void

my suggestion is

if your not so much into your cell

i mean you dont use it a lot for 3D gaming and other hi resource using applications

and just need for messaging,music,net

then dont root

else root

and enjoy your phone:D

---------- Post added at 06:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 AM ----------

im sure there are applications

or some launcher which will have what your looking for
[Optimus One, P500, V General] royal.tarun:
Just do it.

I rooted it 3 days after I bought it.

But be careful while doing so, there are chances of bricking your phone.and yes, warranty will be void. But you can, anytime,go back to stock firmware just in case if you want your warranty.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dryhte:
Rooting & link to howto (mostly for my own reference)

Hi,

For me the main advantage of rooting is that you can use a custom recovery (= do nandroid backups) and that you can install different kernels (better performance but mainly better battery life).

I have been on official 2.3.3 since months now (waiting until Andy's Phoenix ROM matures a bit), and I must say that I'm quite happy with it (with LauncherPro of course).

Just be sure to install a good recovery (CWM 4.0.1.5 or so) and that you make a nandroid backup before you flash something new.

Oh and here's the howto I used to root my brother's phone yesterday...

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Palmaaa:
So to see if i get it, by "custom recovery" you're saying i can use a "custom image" that someone created to improve my phone?

I didnt quite undestood the nandroid and CWM recovery parts! Im really sorry for all the questions but im still a noob in this area and i was hopping i could get to know a little more about this in this forum!

Ps: thank you all that answered till now!

Hi, as u said u r novice, & does not know anything.

My suggestion is to use ur cell for few months & search in google & XDA whatever u have doubt. Then understand one by one things.

I am telling because my cell was bricked with doing all these things, I voided warranty & i have to change my entire board for 3,000/-

I think no use with all these rooting & flashing, roms, getting headache with this stuff.

Just use ur phone as it is, & u may install new new softwares & games as market is producing a lot daily.

I have bad experience with all these experiments.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] RAMESHBABU.N:
Rooted my p500 successfully ...

Rooting is NOT for novices.

Rooting requires some basic (to slightly advanced) understanding of the way this android software works. It also requires some basic understanding of the way in which kernel, over-clocking etc., work. And, one should also understand the limitations (of hardware, processing power, storage, RAM etc.,) of one's mobile phone.

Thankfully, I rooted my P500 successfully yesterday. And, loaded Titanium Backup and got going in the `rooted mobile' arena.

Removed some unwanted/useless applications like bollywoodji, vaccination tracker, etc., successfully.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] klaudyuxxx:
i think rooting is a piece of cake. enable debugging mode, connect phone to pc, press the ROOT button :rolleyes:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] aravindsagar:
Actually very few people have bad experiences with rooting and related stuff. Most of us (including me) have done it right, and are enjoying the benefits..:) Just follow the instructions carefully and everything will be alright. And make sure that whatever process you do, it is NOT INTERRUPTED in between. That's all.

Also, if you were in the stock froyo firmware, you could have simply rooted using gingerbreak. The 2.3 based firmware can also be rooted, but requires a few more steps, you can search and find out about that.

I would personally suggest not to use ROM manager for installing custom recovery on your P500, because when I used it, my phone got stuck in the fastboot mode. But with a little effort I could make it right.

All the best!

hi guys, i would to ask your advice..

right now, i'm using stock ROM 2.3.4 in my Nexus i9023 and i want to try to flash the netarchy kernel, most of people said it is the stable one.

my question, is netarchy kernel compatible with the stock ROM? is there any issues about combining stock ROM with netarchy kernel?

thanks

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timhl7:
I was running that setup for a while. Really stable plus better battery with undervolting.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mindwalkr:
Hey guys,

I've also installed NetArchy 1.3.7 CFS with my stock ROM 2.3.4 (i9023 model). I'm using the default settings (i.e. on demand CPU governor, max 1ghz, min 100 mhz). I didn't undervolt yet. So far my experience with it:

- recording video causes stutter and frame / audio drop at points. This is certainly a show stopper for me since the whole point to install netarchy was to be able to use Voodoo and record proper concert audio but now the video itself can get screwed in less than 60 seconds into a recording

- Battery consumption while idle seems pretty good... (sometimes getting 8 mA consumption according to battery monitor)

- Battery consumption when active seems pretty intense.. checking my e-mail with K-9 and firing up Facebook will start eating 300 mA).

So my first gripe is with the video recording. I'm already using the best CPU performance I can and I certainly don't want to overclock when the stock kernel was working fine (except for the sound). I might try other kernels (namely Trinity and Matrix to see what happens) but I like the stability of Netarchy though... in 1 week with it I only had 1 random reboot :)

Has anyone been experiencing the same ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rem3Dy:
Netarchy is the most stable kernel. Mai ly because it takes the least amount of risks.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsunit19:
Alright, here's the deal, this happened about a month ago (ive been stuck with the hero since lol).

I was running ERA EH06 Leak 1.1 (name of the file, i think it was the unnamed rom at the time) which was running perfectly for a few days until I get the google services etc force closes. Anyway I get home from work, I go to switch to stock and reflash to something else (at the time I was flashing roms like crazy lol). Anyway, as im odin'ing to stock, I accidentally pull the usb from the phone in the middle of it and the phone is stuck on the download screen, so I pull the battery and try again.

Now the phone isnt connecting to my computer, and its not even turning on. It wont show anything when I have it plugged into usb, I cant go into recovery or download mode. I saw on another thread a power cycle reset thing that didnt work.

I took it into the sprint store to have them see whats up and they said the usb was pulled off of the motherboard. I open it up myself (im semi experienced in this, and i found a good tutorial online) and nothing is noticeably wrong and the usb isnt pulled off the motherboard.

Also, the battery indicator is red because of "water damage" ( i have taken it in the bathroom with me as I showered, but that was only a few times and I stopped weeks before this happened, so I dont think water damage could be the main problem).

So basically has anyone else had the same or similar issue? Or at least can point me in some direction?

Phone: Galaxy S2

Network: o2

Region: UK

Ok, so I did some stupid things while trying to install cyanogenmod (my Android friends told me I needed to do this). All was going well until I rebooted using rommanager, and had a signature error (i think). I then pressed ALL OF THE WRONG BUTTONS (probably toggle signature verification i think). Now when i boot the phone it goes:

- o2 animation screen

- galaxy s2 logo

- pause

- o2 animation screen (repeat)

I'm guessing I can use Odin to install a new OS / firmware.. right? .....right? I would start trying to fix this myself, but I'm guessing the chances of me breaking this even further are *really high*.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
Vile & horrible, lol.

Don't worry mate. Just get it back to a level playing field and then think about custom ROMs, like CM.

Look at the xda bookmarks in my sig and get the official firmware thread. Just get a recent one from there and flash. You should be good to go after that. Everything you need to know is in the 1st post of the thread.

Incidentally, don't listen to anyone that tells you you "need" to do anything. Get the thing working and just use it. A lot of phones are definitely better with custom stuff on them, but this phone really doesn't need it for a great experience. Once you know it well enough to know what more you want then you can start getting custom ROMs in order to do that. Seriously, the stock version of the SGS2 is still better than most phones out there with the best custom ROMs available. It just depends what

you

want out of it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yezzer:
ITS WORKING AGAIN!!

Thankfully I made a backup.. and i restored it using clockwork recovery mode.

I want to use it for development, and I am a nerd, so I want to mess around with it a bit.. so now it's working again, back to cyanogen, and to work out what I did wrong!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
Glad you got it working mate.

I tried CM7 recently myself, and despite being very careful and following the instructions to the letter I ended up stuck on the boot logo. A reboot into recovery mode fixed it though, automatically, so no harm done.

I guess there's no black and white in these things. Sometimes, "something" just goes wrong.

What kind of development are you gonna be doing? Are you gonna be the next big thing in ROMs or apps?

before doing any more messing around make sure you take a backup of your efs folder this contains your imei number and other stuff. if that buggers up, then you will not be able to fix it yourself. see this thread for a guide of how to backup your EFS folder.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vodkaequalslove:
I think this is the proper place for this, but feel free to call me names if it's not.

I just bought a Focus, and was using the Sync system with my Thunderbolt with no issue. Then about a week ago, I switched over to using CM7, now I can't make an outgoing call. There's no volume in the car, and if I manually turn Bluetooth off on the phone, I can hear the person I'm calling, but they can't hear me.

The weird thing is that if I get an incoming call, I can answer it through the car, and everything works without problem. I also don't have any issues like this with other Bluetooth devices. I've tried deleting the connection between car and phone, and re-pairing them, but get the same result.

Anyone who could suggest something would be my hero!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:
only thing I can think of is that cm7/aosp roms use a different BT stack then sense based roms (stock or otherwise). I'm guessing this stack which is usually better, isn't doing something right. I would try a sense based rom and see if your problems resolve.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
I'm using TheROM V4 (aosp) rom, and previously was using CM7. Have been able to sync with SYNC with no problems. I would try deleting the BT connection in your car first, then re-pair your phone. If that doesn't work, try downloading and flashing CM7 again. If that does not work, and you like AOSP ROMs, then try one of the other ones (OMGB, OMFGB, TheROM, or Thunderstick).

XBmod ROM 7720 V 1.00 for HTC Trophy.

The principe:

With XBmod Rom you can send cutom cab packages to device.

The packages modify the rom itself so they stay in place even after a reset and can update any part of the rom (SLDR,NK,LOGO...) and update the build without reflashing the Device.

we believe that this process is the simplest way:

-for users to customize the rom as they likes & avoid constant reflash for update.

-for developer to try differents tweaks

-for cookers to send their own corrective packages,without need to recook and reflash!

-for any developpers and designers to make custom packages for WP7 community.
