[Verizon Droid Charge] Shellman19:
Thanks so much for doing this brotha!!!! I have been reading and reading and reading and this is the first post that makes me feel like I can actually ROM my phone with out winding up with a mess. My business comes to a complete halt if my phone is not working and that I can not risk.... hence why I have been so hesitant to ROM my phone. I really appreciate all the posts on this site that the people who know what they are doing, but I feel that most of the time many of the posts leave a lot of gaps in the ROM'ing process. If I have even the smallest doubt I ain't messing with my phone... PERIOD! Anyway, thanks for the step by step and the links for each step. I feel like my hand is being held and frankly that is what I need.

Now, with all that being said, can I ask you what made you decide on the ROM and kernel that you used? For me it is all about having a very stable phone when all is said and done. Of course, I want it to be fast and also fix some of the things that drive me nuts about this phone... i.e. GPS lock issues & constant dropped signal strength.

Have you found these 2 issues specifically improved/fixed? What other improvements have you noticed since ROM'ing?

Thanks again for your post and input!

Great write up
[Verizon Droid Charge] GSXRFAN:
So far not a single issue with Humble 4.22 rom, I had a TON of issues with 4.0 such as keyboard freezing, boot loops...etc, but 4.22 is running like a champ. GPS working, 4G signal coming in smooth and phone hasn't frozen once since loading.

Reasons for rooting & loading rom

> Removes a LOT of Verizon preloaded crap

> Ability to load upgraded radios (aka stronger signal)

> Longer battery life

> Theming the phone (which by far is the BEST reason alone)

> Phone runs 3-6x faster than stock.

> Overall the phone is much more enjoyable than stock.

Hey, I've tried installing Magldr a few times now, but whenever I try to go to "Services\BootSettings\AD SD Dir" it just goes back to the Magldr menu.

I've done some searching for the past couple of hours, and the general consensus was to reformat the sdcard because Magldr couldn't read the sdcard, I've tried reformatting multiple times (once via Windows quick format, once via Windows full format, and twice by EASEUS Partition Master) but can't seem to get this to work.

I was coming from CLK, the main reason I wanted to try dual booting two Android ROMs, one via NAND and the other via the SDCARD.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mutil:
the option you tried is used in order to run sd-card roms, not for nand roms. to flash nand rom by mgldr, you must make the cwm partition as said in op of rom. then in mgldr-ad recovery-install zip from sd-choose zip from sd-find rom in list- flash and reboot.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] parker09:
The way I usually do it is flash the magldr nand ROM via clockworkmod and then copy the the extract the sdcard ROM to the root of the sdcard - and follow the specific instructions for the sdcard ROM.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
In this case MAGLDR does not work with your SD Card for SD builds. I have this same problem with my Kingston 16GB class 4, but MAGLDR works fine with the shipped Sandisk 2GB class 2 (i.e. I can run SD builds from this but not the Kingston).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] parker09:
Ah okay, yeah, tried a Sandisk 16gb card and it worked, I had a 8GB Kingston (cls4) card, will look around for a new one as I took the Sandisk from my camera.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] API182:
I know this was an old question but I'll throw my input in just incase this helps somebody in future..?

If you have been messing around with partition managment software make sure you set the FAT32 partition as Primary and not just logical...

Worked for me :)

Cheers, Adam.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] magnus48:
I have two sd cards. And with the kingstom I have this problem, all partitions are primary.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ck436:
stay in the magldr,

take the SD card out ,

and insert SD card again,

then try \AD SD Dir again,

you got it
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] boomboomer:
Until the next time or two you reboot then no more boot directory again.

But yes, popping the card out will enable you to try the process - but you'll need another make of card for it to be reliable.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cais:
Hi, I just get my new Galaxy S2 from AT&T few weeks ago, and I think it is just some days ago, there is a notification saying that the City ID app is expired and asked me if I want to pay $2/month. I believe I did hit no. However, I found the app is working (i.e. I can still see which city is the number calling from). I tried to remove the app, but failed (because I haven't root my phone yet)

my question is: say if I did accidentally hit agreed to pay that, then how is it gonna charge me? I mean my google account doesn't have any credit card information. Nor does the app asked me for any credit card information.

moreover, is it possible to remove the app without root the phone?

thank you very much
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
The charge would show up from AT&T on your bill. As to removing it without root, no can do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
Just call AT&T and let them know you don't want the subscription to that app. That happened to me when with one of the new phones I had a couple years back I got signed up to a subscription service via one of their bloatware apps, I just called them and told them I did not want it, then rooted my phone and deleted the app.

If you don't want to root your phone just complain to the att rep until they permanently block the service from that app from your phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cais:
yeah, I tried to change the feature online, but their system is updating. I called the customer service, they said they can't have the access to my account now because of the system updating. I'm on my way to root the device now. By the way, I've already loaded the kernel from Odin, is that normal to have i9100 displayed when I power on my phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
That's covered in the FAQ - Samsung didn't bother to change the bootlogo for "custom" binary users from the I9100

WHich version of Vital Player [ Vital Player or Vital Player Neon or Vital Player Neon Pro?]

Also does it work for big avi files such as movies and does audio and video remains in sync for huge movie files ?

Thanks
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Klarostorix:
I use the normal Vitalplayer and watched several movies with it. I have not found an issue of asynchronities between sound and pictures. If you have this issue, you can try other setting of codec.

Cheers

Hi,

When you say get new codec setting you mean get new software codec [Other PLayer that supports codec] right ?

Thanks,

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Klarostorix:
When u start Vitalplayer and press options > decode mode you can change between auto detection and hardware and software. Try software encoding to get perhaps a solution to your problems. If this doesnt work i cant help you, sorry. With my videos everything works fine.

[LG Optimus 2x] sacredsoul:
Dont get me wrong. The O2X community has grown considerably from the first time I got the phone 6 months ago. There's CM7, MIUI and leaked GB roms around which are all close to 100% functional.

However, I know for a fact the battery life in most if not all Android phones are average at best. That's the case with the O2X too. Even below average I should say. I still have no idea how you guys can have it last more that a day. Even with all the battery-saving tips, the most I can make it last is around 12 hours.

Another problem is LG itself. Official GB is yet to land after all these months. Hopes of an official ICS by LG is all but gone.

My point is, has anyone jumped ships to iOS? Going back to iOS after almost a full year with the Dell Streak and the O2X.

I got my O2X for the price of a 3GS not a 4S! I'd agree it's hardly the best phone if money is no object, but it's a hell of a lot better than the 3GS for the money.
[LG Optimus 2x] blindpet:
I got the o2x just to have an android device to play with and it was dirt cheap. I've never had the problems people speak of. Even though it isn't the smoothest I will never buy an apple device simply because their design is against upgrading/modding it yourself.

I plan to never buy an apple product unless their whole philosophy changes.

[LG Optimus 2x] norpan111:
So what are you doing with your smartphone? Toying?
[LG Optimus 2x] spica1234:
Except LG Update issues and battery I'm really satisfied with 2x It;'s cost-effective. As we always talks negetive which is true let's take a look at positive aspects.

First of all display yep it does has bleeding issue but IPS display is adorable in compare to AMOLED plus.

And sooner or later they'll release kernel sources of GB and that will massively progress development and Soon we can taste ICS from CM

And battery first of all 1500mAH is not sufficient evenif S2 with 1600 has battery probs but you could always buy a battery >2400mAh battery cant be a good reason to change a device.

As per the price we've got more than enough.

[LG Optimus 2x] ringthar:
The difference about iphone and android users is that we can personalize our phone to our likings. A real android user likes expirimenting with roms and kernels to get their best user experience. Why buy an iphone when it's normal for humans to expiriment with different kind of things. And thats why we don't need any of that overexpensive iphone bull**** . When we get phones with customization possibilities and not just a phone where I can choose from 8gb or 16gb internal memory. Android <3
[LG Optimus 2x] akyp:
Many, for me the biggest one is the versatility of Android. You can customise pretty much anything from cosmetics to under the hood stuff (ROMs, kernels etc.). Which also happens to be the same reason I will never try WP7. Looking around this website, the themes for WP7 seem not much more than a new wallpaper lol.

Having full access to the filesystem is nice too. While I don't have anything against iTunes and I understand why Apple decides to shackle their devices to it with a ball and chain, it's just not for me.

There are downsides of Android, mostly related to gaming (Apple devices may not have the cutting edge hardware but their GPU is seriously good) and the handling of background services (another score against the tiny 512MB of the P990), but I'm willing to live with them for now.
[LG Optimus 2x] K.D.M.:
My girlfriens galaxy ace runs smoother then my o2x. Random reboots and freezes even on custom roms. Im happy with the support of devs but i cursed my phone enough to pre-order a galaxy nexus.

No iphone for me. I want my phone to be my phone so i can do with.it what i want. Customize etc.

I want my phone to look, handle, run and feel the way i want. Not the way apple wants

You serious? I downloaded some action song videos for my one year old to keep him busy on a flight and wanted to transfer them to my wife's IPad2. It took me well over an hour to transfer 10 videos. Itunes would constantly lock up when importing the videos and in the end I was still unable to copy 3 of the videos for reasons unknown. Itunes is one of the main reasons I can't stand iThings.

Mount USB storage>Drag and Drop or FTP works best for me.

Loving the hardware keyboard! the only thing i miss is the awesome screen from my LG, the colors were so bright and shiny
[LG Optimus 2x] ron_gangte:
Well.. that is pretty sad!! :-\

How come a single core processor cellphone runs smoother than a dual core processor...? :-\

And.. doesn't your Xperia Mini Pro have that static sound issue? :-\ What about the battery life? :-)
[LG Optimus 2x] FreeZr:
Because the software is really optimized :) that's why noone bothers making roms for it.

I only notice the missing core when playing psx games with alot of explosions, like armored core. I used to have 45 fps with my LG, now its "only" 25, which is still really fluid. All other games are the same.

But the fact i can play all games with the keyboard makes up for it :D

Cant say anything about the static issue, i dont make videos, sorry. I dont notice anything while doing a call though.

Battery life is okay, i'd say. 3 Days with light usage, 1,5 days with heavy usage.

And by heavy usage i mean some hours of playing, GPS, 10 calls of 5 minutes a day atleast, 20-30 sms / whatsapp messages.

I bought another original battery for 14,99 € and a charging station, so its not really a problem :D
[LG Optimus 2x] akyp:
Better software, but also a lot less pixels to draw (HVGA vs WVGA).
[LG Optimus 2x] FreeZr:
Yep, true.

Not a bad thing though, it's even better for gaming since you can control everything with the qwertz keyboard, no more virtual keypad.

Enough sony ericsson advertising though, feel free to contact me if you have any questions :)
[LG Optimus 2x] spica1234:
The reason iphone performs smooth even at single core is optimized software. Almost perfect kernel hardware drivers. But closed source that is the limit:/
[LG Optimus 2x] miina_tokiha:
iPhone 4S is boring.

I've bought Apple products before, and I sold it a week later.

if you need stable optimized ROM, go for Sony Ericsson.

all their newest line (Arc S, Arc, Play, Neo, Ray, Mini Pro, Mini) use the same hardware.

only differ in screen size & resolution.

that's why they can develop fast & stable.

don know what are you talking about customization on ios. i had 3gs that was customized much more than i can now do with my o2x. and it was much isier to custumize it than android(no rome installing and so on) i had from animated eallpapers to widgets. and animated lock screen with weather. and with all of that there was no lag. but thae price and screen size. is killing everything . if i would find iphone 4 for 200$ would buy it without thinking.

---------- Post added at 04:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------

what is the diference between root and jailbrake? non! both you loosing warranty! both you doing i one click! the diference is that second after jailbrake you can costumize the phone without ibstalling new roms,coocking..... and. the iphone always will work! all functions of the phone!

[LG Optimus 2x] sacredsoul:
I concede. There are better android devices out there, specs-wise at least. But as I said, iOS's battery management is pretty damn impressive. Correct me if I'm wrong but there's no android device out there with a better battery performance than the iPhone 4. Ill repeat, I'm not a fanboy. I'm neutral. And all things considered, battery performance is definitely a top priority for me since I'm a student and I don't drive so the only place I charge my phone is at home.
[LG Optimus 2x] mike-o2:
Where to start...

Try sending an email with more than one attachment with iOS - good luck.

Then if you think you can outsmart the system and put that attachments into one zip file - don't even think about it, it cant zip files.

Try to set up a funny/nice Sound/mp3 as a Notification sound on iOS - nope, no way.

F L A S H

I could fill a book with things normal to Android phones that iPhones can't do.

Its a piece of junk - sorry.
