Just to add a bit to that: you really have to do something stupid to hard brick your phone. The worst case scenario for flashing the proper things would be soft bricking. Flashing the wrong things would hard brick you.

Lol. Will this method produce multiples? I'm not much of a green thumb so how hard is it?

Before you Get flamed anymore be sure to read the three sticky threads. Mr. Clown and lufc are the mods for this forum and will move this thread to general where it belongs. They also lay out some of the ground rules to help prevent flaming. The Bible finally got stickied, there you will find all the info you need about rooting, custom roms, themes, and mods for our phone. There is a great tutorial on how to root a well. Finally This device its very unique so don't stray too far from gs4g forums, that its how most get into trouble. Lighten up and Happy flashing

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Uniquee210:
How can I?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] icy56:
We are just messing with cha ;). You can use superoneclick to root your phone. However simply rooting it isn't going to remove the lag you are experincing. I recommend flashing a custom GINGERBREAD rom, just skip froyo.. and make sure you completely back up all your data before doing it. If you need a guide, FB has one in the development section or you can look at the rom bible.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Uniquee210:
Ok haa:D well.can u provide links to these guides
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] j3.cole:
Try not to get too offended by this.... you Must read, read again, and re-read. There is no easy-short cut, You are going to have to put in the work. You were already told to look at the bible. All your links are there.

[Motorola Photon 4G] sgtmedeiros:
So i have an epic touch 4g , and i was thinking of picking up the photon tomorrow because the epic is f***ing massive and plastic. But the samoled is beautiful and it is smooth as butter.

So I figured i would ask some owners of the device for some honest thoughts on if it would be a good switch .

Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kcarpenter:
I can't tell *much* of a difference between my photon screen and my epic screen. Choice is yours in the end, but ultimately I couldn't give Samsung more money after the fail in terms of software and support of the Epic.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dljohnson:
Well, I have had the Epic 4g and I do REALLY miss the Super AMOLED screen because it is brighter and a bit clearer than my Photon screen. I have not looked at the Epic Touch in person, however, I have been getting AT LEAST a full day with moderate to heavy use before I have to plug in my Photon. I don't know how your battery is lasting you on that, but I am not disappointed with my Photon AT ALL!

The best thing I can suggest is go to either google and check the specs of each phone, or I go to www.phonescoop.com to find the specs of the phones that I look at getting.

In the end it is up to you and what you want your phone to do.

Good luck.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
I love my Photon. But there is no right phone for everyone. What it comes down to is what works for you. I thought that i would want to switch to the epic touch, but i am really happy with the Photon. It has the best signal I have had with Sprint. I use the internet alot, and with other phones there were places that it was to slow to use. The Photon doesn't have the development that other phones have, but a phone must be a phone first in my opinion.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sgtmedeiros:
The samoled+ is gorgeous but it feels big and cheap.

The photon handles better in hand but im concerned ghost blur will make my phone lag out like crazy like the atrix .

Also the fact they use the pentile display.
[Motorola Photon 4G] abowlby:
Well, I had an Epic Touch 4G for two weeks, and returned it. Not because I wasn't happy, I loved the device, but because the money was better used buying credits and working towards graduation. :D

That being said, the Epic 4G had great battery life for me, although it seems some on the forums have had an issue with this. I could easily get through a 12 hour work day and arrive home with 40% of my battery left and that's on moderate usage.

The radios on the ET worked pretty well for me also. Again, some people on the forums have reported otherwise. All in all, very comparable to the Epic before it. However, the device was quick to drop 4G at times.

The screen...well, it's great. I don't have the expectation that the Photon screen is in anyway going to compare, but, then again, I hear the ET's radios don't compare to those found on the Photon.

The ET is smooth as butter, it has some really cool features packed in, like a Font Switcher, that really should have been addressed by the Vanilla OS by now, in my opinion. Call quality was exceptional and all in all I don't expect the Photon to really outclass the ET in anyway.

Those are my honest interpretations of one side of that coin. Give me another two weeks, and I shall complete my thoughts. :confused::p
[Motorola Photon 4G] dljohnson:
I agree with sgtmedeiros on the signal aspect as well. The Samsung Epic 4g I had maintained good signal strength, but this phone can hold on to signal even better than the Epic could ever. A phone should be a phone first in my book as well, and what phone is a true phone if it cannot keep a decent cell signal?

If you have the money and wanna try it, then go for it. I do not believe you will be disappointed.
[Motorola Photon 4G] phatmanxxl:
I'll make it real simple:

If your into rooting, modding, flashing ROMs and what the newest of the new, keep the ET4g

If your fine with stock w/root and just want a powerful, high quality and the most reliable android phone on sprint, get the photon.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jeffy2walgreens:
I had the Nexus S before the Photon and I always had terrible signal and dropped calls. No matter how nice the screen is, I need a phone first and foremost. Plus the Photon's screen with the brightness turned all the way up isn't so bad.
[Motorola Photon 4G] abowlby:
True. And that's how I feel. Plus I'm excited to get back to the legendary build quality of Moto.

I've read so much praising the radio of this phone, are any of your data speeds actually faster?
[Motorola Photon 4G] sgtmedeiros:
Both phones are to a point where custom Roms aren't even necessary any more unless there are cool little things to add in that carriers took out.

The main issue for me will be the screen because the samoled+ is so color rich. But then again the photon is sharper.
[Motorola Photon 4G] evobb10:
Both phones are quality and they have their own best

At the bottom line usually I'm concern on video recording and get early latest software so Motorola photon is best for me
[Motorola Photon 4G] foxsdaddy67:
just say no to samsung. you will be happier :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] phatmanxxl:
Epic touch does not record video in stereo, but has 1080p, photon does, but only in 720p.
[Motorola Photon 4G] LouieGrandie:
Both are excellent phones. You cannot go wrong with EITHER phone so it really just comes down to what YOU prefer. I currently have the Epic 4G Touch and did have a Photon for a month. Both phones have pros and cons. The Photon has a better radio. You get a stronger signal by far but honestly have not had any issues with the Samsung as far as getting a signal when I need it. The Photon has well documented issues with no audio on calls and random reboots. I am staying with the Samsung because I like the look and feel plus how slim it is.

I will say that more people have commented on the phone than with any other phone I have ever owned.
[Motorola Photon 4G] abrcrmdl23:
I personally have both phones and even though the e4gt is a really nice device and they did a nice job with the new touch wiz, and the screen colors and camera ate great I find that overall I like my photon better. The feel in my hand, Tegra zone, radio strength and speed and I do like the photon screen while not as great as the amoled plus the higher resolution is what does it for me. I do also use the webtop dock and dedicated car dock and those accesories really trend to seal the deal for me since the e4gt doesn't have them. Both are great phones and it really just comes down to personal preference.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sgtmedeiros:
I ended up getting the photon, thank you guys for the little push over the fence, so glad i did!
[Motorola Photon 4G] rayfordsawdust:
I tried both phones. The Epic touch is a richer multimedia experience. The web pages are buttery smooth and online video streaming is a higher quality. I did notice however that on basic web pages (full and mobile sites) with both phones in 4g that photon did loaded most pages faster. Both devices are fast and packed with features. The epic touch has a better looking and larger(slightly) screen. The photon feels better in my hands. One key selling point is that the photon hands down has better call quality and radio quality. I manage a roast beef shop, but I also sale turkey, chicken, ham, shakes, fries etc... but my business is roast beef first. After all the bells and whistles a phone needs to be able to do phone stuff like clear call quality. That being said, to me the photon is the better device.
[Motorola Photon 4G] criptix:
I was going thru the same thing and decided to keep my photon due to reliability.
[Motorola Photon 4G] willysp:
I have a Photon, but played a lot with the Samsung. Kept the Photon. Comments:

Samsung

- Colors are over saturated - they do 'pop', but they are not accurate

- Not as big as I thought it would be - size not an issue

- Screen low resolution was the show-stopper for me; a larger screen but lower resolution? What were they thinking.

- Build too light, flimsy and plasticy

Photon

- GSM SIM a big plus to me since I travel overseas

- Photon screen is brighter and whiter

- Screen much better outside

- I keep the screen turned down to 15-20% (too bright otherwise) - battery life is awesome

- USB charging port on the wrong side - makes the kickstand useless

- Awesome radio - haven't dropped a call yet

Tried network bandwidth in the store with both phones - Photon loaded first 75% of the time

But, you know, if the Samsung had a larger qHD screen, might have gone with it!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Nmehimself:
Photon

I really do enjoy the photon it is a great phone though i am a mobile gamer and do not like thar this tegra 2 phone does not support many games.
[Motorola Photon 4G] speedy2slow:
Doesnt support games? I haven't had one issue with any game, and I'm a huge gamer myself.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Equalizir:
I have all the HD and tegra games. They all work great.

Sent from my Photon.
[Motorola Photon 4G] live2ride96:
Anyone else notice that yellows and oranges are WAY off on the photon? As in noticeable, even without a side by side comparison. Also, skintones look horrendous when watching videos, as well as a complete lack of shadow detail. All this is compared to pretty much every other Sprint phone. My wife has a nexus, daughter has an evo, and I had an evo 3d before the photon.

This and the random reboots are the main reasons im really starting to hate this phone and would love to switch to a nexus or ET, but I'm past 30 days.
[Motorola Photon 4G] R2DeeTard:
Dude, flip that MoPho around and use the kickstand on the other side. works just as well and you can still charge. :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] lucidvtec:
U can flip the kick stand???
[Motorola Photon 4G] watermoore:
I can absolutely vouch for the faster data speeds. I live on the slow data speed side of town. Typically with my Epic 4g I was getting 200-400 choppy kbps. In the same part of my house, with the photon I get 500-700 kbps. Netflix works now. youtube isnt just an icon anymore lol yeah for service!
[Motorola Photon 4G] abowlby:
Yeah its a dual sided kickstand. Boom! It's in the game.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sapperpipo:
I have both the photon and the epic and I like the [hoton better because its snappier and the stock rom is kick ass to where I don't want a custom rom in fact I have my photon in the car dock and typing on my bluetooth keyboard at the moment while waiting at sonics for my food to come out I am not disappointed at all I have all the accessories for the photon and I can do much more with the photon than I could do with my epic and I still have my epic on another line but prefer the photon mainly because its just a better phone and the stock battery lasts all day for me with moderate to heavy use but I will say that when I leave the blue tooth on for the keyboard it lasts from about 8 am til 630 or so with heavy use but I think that's not bad I can live with that. But ultimately the choice is yours you can't go wrong with either phone I just think that the photon is a better phone when you have all the accessories to go with it,,, but if it wasn't for the accessories I would definitely choose the epic because I have to have a keyboard,,,,, and I hate that when the screen auto rotates your text is gone and you have to start all over again,,,,but this is just my 2 cents
[Motorola Photon 4G] willysp:

[Motorola Photon 4G] swear0730:
I've had an Epic 4G for about a year and on Saturday decided it was time. I'd thought about it quite a bit and new going into the store it was between the Epic Touch and the Photon. I had decided that radio quality was the #1 priority and battery life #2. I knew the Photon had a better radio but the salesman swore up and down that the Epic Touch would get better battery life. In the end, the familiarity with the software was what pushed me to the Epic Touch.

Yesterday, after having 3 separate LOS issues since Saturday and battery life no better than my previous Epic I traded the Epic Touch for a Photon.

I feel like I went from a Gateway laptop to a top of the line HP laptop but in the process traded Windows 7 for Windows 95.

Yeah, the radio quality is important but handling separating and combining personal and work contacts, calendars and email is too and the Photon just ain't cutting it.

Examples of shortcomings of Photon:

*There doesn't appear to be a way create a shortcut to go directly to a particular email account. Gotta go to the last one, choose menu, change email account and then select the account. And no combined inbox.

*I have two Exchange accounts and I use categories to drill into groups of contacts. The Photon allows me to select a category but lists them in a random order. No option to sort in alpha order.

*The calendar font is TINY.

*Is there Facebook integration? I don't see evidence of it. And none of my contact photos come from either Facebook or Outlook onto my phone.

*Pull down status doesn't allow for changing WiFi, bluetooth, etc and font is TINY. It is nice to see the subject of new emails tho.

*Overall skin is stark, 2 dimensional, boring. And black on white is too stark for checking email at night in bed.

It just seems to me that the MoPho has a less polished feel to the core applications.

The size and balance of the Photon certainly give it a much more natural feel in my hand. Maybe because I'm used to the Epic 4g. And the call quality is phenominal.

I'm torn...
[Motorola Photon 4G] dave sedlak:
your lucky.....you may have gotten your wish haha
[Motorola Photon 4G] lordangel1221:
It's very true what you said about the PHOTON.
[Motorola Photon 4G] schale01:
@ swear0730 I haven't had any Facebook integration issues. All my FB contacts and pictures seem to show up just as I would have expected them to.

App Drawer>Messaging>Universal Inbox

Photon Highlights that really sold me on the phone.

*Radio is definitely the best I have seen in a long while.

*international support.

*I got my kickstand (it's the little things)

*Webtop is actually pretty cool and the dev that is going on with it is only going to make it better.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ronnienyc:
I compared the RT with the Photon in the store a few times, and I thought think the Photon's screen is far more contrasty and accurate than the ET's. Also the ET's low resolution just looks goofy with giant icons and such.

Other things: Photon's radios are superior (faster data and better voice connections), the Photon feels faster to me, and the Photon (being slimmer) is just easier to hold.

So even though I have an upgrade available, I did not go for the ET.
[Motorola Photon 4G] symond:
oh i got my answer,about screen here.. after using nexus s .than got photon. than i thought something is wrong with screen. than read posts here. now it make sense.looks soo dark compare to nexus s damit

but other than i would say if u r not traveller out side the country than go for epic 4g

it got bigger battery than photon and plus feels soo nice too n damn its big screen makes perfect but its all ur choice

look in ur heart which one makes u happy than choose that
[Motorola Photon 4G] GUARDIANBD:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F1r3F0x:
If you are running a HTC Android smartphone with the latest updates applied, chances are your personal data is freely accessible to any app you have given network access to in the form of full Internet permissions.This vulnerability isn’t a backdoor or some inherent flaw in Android, it is instead HTC failing to lock down its data sharing policies used in the Tell HTC software users have to allow or disallow on their phone. The problem being, not only is your data vulnerable when Tell HTC is turned on, it’s just as vulnerable when it is turned off.

In brief, any app on affected devices that requests a single android.permission.INTERNET (which is normal for any app that connects to the web or shows ads) can get its hands on:

the list of user accounts, including email addresses and sync status for each

last known network and GPS locations and a limited previous history of locations

phone numbers from the phone log

SMS data, including phone numbers and encoded text (not sure yet if it's possible to decode it, but very likely)

system logs (both kernel/dmesg and app/logcat), which includes everything your running apps do and is likely to include email addresses, phone numbers, and other private info

But that's not all. After looking at the huge amount of data (the log file was 3.5MB on my EVO 3D) that is vulnerable to apps exploiting this vulnerability all day, I found the following is also exposed:

active notifications in the notification bar, including notification text

build number, bootloader version, radio version, kernel version

network info, including IP addresses

full memory info

CPU info

file system info and free space on each partition

running processes

current snapshot/stacktrace of not only every running process but every running thread

list of installed apps, including permissions used, user ids, versions, and more

system properties/variables

currently active broadcast listeners and history of past broadcasts received

currently active content providers

battery info and status, including charging/wake lock history

and more

Quite simply put these are HUGE vulnerabilities that people need to be aware of. This problem is only effecting stock roms so if you are rooted you have no cause for alarm.

I followed this tutorial to theme stock+ but, I made a few mistakes and I was wondering if there is a way to put the already cooked files back in to the kitchen. I wanted to keep most of the theme but I made a few mistakes like not setting the opacity on the pull down menu high enough and a few other things. If I put the original files back in to the kitchen I would have to redo the entire theme right? Any help is much appreciated.
