[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] @eon:
Ya, it was like mass overload the other day; it was like trying to make a PBJ sandwhich, then realizing I have to bake my own bread from scratch, grind up peanuts into butter, and somehow pick my own berries for jam, etc...

Anyways, I read over some of those topics again and some of it makes a little more sense. But still, some of those threads are so damn long, Im not gonna read each and every post from top to bottom of the thread, at least not yet. But the main issue I've realized is definitely going to be a problem is the fact that turning S-Off is irreversible. There is absolutely no method of turning S-On after its been turned off, which doesnt seem to make any sense; I figure, if you are able to flip a light-switch on, its only obvious you should be able to flip the switch off. So why is the 'S-Off' method a one-way path? And is this problem going to be fixed?

I read a bunch of articles and tutorials on 'unrooting' the MT4GS, and each one says that it will change the phone back to the stock factory condition it was in before rooting. Of course, once I scroll down and keep reading comments, everyone says that there isnt a way to turn "S-ON". SO, how the hell would someone be able to root their phone while still ever having the option to do a warranty exchange? Unrooting is great cause it gets you most the way there. But I've been reading that when T-Mobile recieves the phone, they send it to HTC for inspection/repair, and thats where they look at all the software/firmware/h-boot/recovery/S-ON Versions to make sure they are at factory specs. So once again, even though it is possible to "unroot" the MT4GS if need be, it still impossible to fully go back to factory standard (which is exactly what I was worried about).

Thats ****ty cause I was actually willing and ready to start rooting via theunlockr.com's method (cause its a hell of a lot easier than any tutorial in these forums, it does it the same way, its just easier to understand). BUT, that S-ON/S-OFF snafu is enough for me to reconsider. As I'm sure there are tons of benefits to rooting and therefore I may not ever want to unroot, I still may need to for the sake of the warranty exchange. And believe me when I say that I NEED to have the ability to exchange; I've had to exchange the MT4GS 5 times within 3 consecutive weeks because each one I recieved in the mail had some physical manufacturer defects. And since the most recent replacement is a refurb, I need to leave that Warranty-Door open in case I need to exchange.... again.

By the way, I forgot why S-Off was required in the first place. Is it possible to remain rooted without S-Off???
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] pmcqueen:
not permanently. you'd have to temp-root every time you reboot.

Revolutionary is about the easiest way to root a phone in existence so I'm not sure why you're so scared... assuming you have adb working, it's literally as easy as plugging your phone in and opening a single file in the Revolutionary zip archive. everything is done for you. as long as you don't download their faulty recovery (it will ask you if you want to... just say no), it's literally the easiest rooting method available that I've ever seen.

don't make it too complicated. I certainly believe in having all of your bases covered, especially when it comes to potentially screwing up a $500 bundle of plastic, metal and silicone, but rooting is not a big deal anymore.

many people will tell you that they have received warranty replacements after sending in S-OFF/rooted phones. my best guess would be that HTC/Tmo randomly pick phones to "thoroughly check" and the majority don't receive this type of treatment.. and even if they find a rooted device, there's no telling whether or not they will deny your replacement.

I received a warranty replacement (faulty hardware buttons, the leds never turned off) for my gal's rooted MT4GS simply by installing the stock rom and recovery, but still with Revolutionary's hboot installed. No issues whatsoever. I'm not saying it's "right" and I'm not guaranteeing you the same result, just offering my first-hand experience.

here's how you can obtain perma-root and s-off in ~10 minutes. no complicated guides:

www.revolutionary.io

download installer, enter serial # to get your code.

open archive and find the installer... let it run.

when it's done, you'll be rooted and s-off with a custom hboot. say "no" to the download recovery option and manually flash the official CWM recovery, or modaco's 4.0.0.9 recovery image. (either should be fine, although roms are going to start coming out that may have issues with the 4.0.0.9 modaco recovery so cwm is probably your best bet)

if not being able to flip the S-OFF switch back to S-ON at this point is something you can't get over, this isn't for you. personally, I spent $500 on this phone and I'm going to do whatever the hell I want to it, and if TMO and HTC have a problem with that, I will happily take my business elsewhere. :)

Which one would have the best battery life? Or if it's a multi-step process (pick a certain rom then change kernals or something) could you link me/tell me also ?

I'm using Octane v2, and it worked good for the first day, but now it's draining my battery so quickly, even after the battery calibration. I'll lose 2% battery while watching a video for a minute or two.

airfluip1's KJ6 AOSP Style

I haven't done much testing but for the last few days I've been using airfluip1's KJ6 AOSP Style and the phone's battery just died after being off the charger since late Sunday. That's almost two days of juice on one charge.

I also have had excellent battery life with the MIUI ROM variants around the forum, but they are still works in progress and aren't feature-complete yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] QUIETLYloud:
I don't think battery life will differ much between the roms we currently have available, as they all have a stock kernel.

Though under-clocking and juice defender work well for me, I am a heavy user, I've not been able to get more then 14 hours of use.

[Galaxy 3 General] goo.gle:
Well, I don't have the fone with me just now, but I can get it back whenever I want to..

Well, questions..

1> i opened a thread here about flashing in recovery mode... For those stuff (like themes etc) do we need to change fs?

2> Well, in g3mod app, when i selected "convert" in fs changing, it did nothing.. so after 5 minutes, i closed it, it closed successfully without lags.. so i assume it dint do any work.. suggestions? And whats the indroid's fs changer app called? can i install it separately??

3> How to make my own theme? (like adding 9 lock mod and extended power menu without any themes)??

4> changing fs of memory crd will help in anything??

Thats about it for now I guess..
[Galaxy 3 General] dhirend_6d:
1) Yes. To any ext partition. Ext2/4.

2) I had faced the same in G3Mod app. Try KMapp app. It works good. its there in themes and apps section. Or you can also convert manually.

3)Well adding 9 locks and extended power menu is a bit complex. It involves decompiling framework-res.apk as well as a few jar files and a lot of smali as well as XML editing/making.

4) What you mean by changing FS of SDcard?? Partitioning of SDcard helps in increasing internal memory.
[Galaxy 3 General] goo.gle:
Thx for 1 to 3... #4 was my bad...

EDIT another question... do we have to change fs everytime flashing new rom?
[Galaxy 3 General] goo.gle:
.....bump......
[Galaxy 3 General] dhirend_6d:
Yes.............. But not always. Like in CM7 and Kyrillos ROM, the filesystems are converted by default after you flash the ROM. But most of the time, yes.
[Galaxy 3 General] goo.gle:
Whats the fs in Kyrillos??

2. Detail of your device.. everything including SD card class

I think I can Help you out...:)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jospo84:
Thank You for helping me figuring out what's wrong!!

1.

-downloaded roms from this site (every rom works, i'm sure because i flash them also in my gf's htc dsire)

-putted rom in root directory of sd card (from recovery and also from pc adapter)

-made full wipe before flashing (data factory reset, cache, dalvik)

-install zip from sd card -> choose zip from sd card

-message rom installed please reboot

-choosed reboot option

-phone reboot (with newest roms ex runnymede, miui, cyanogen) and stay still in boot screen (green htc logo on white screen)

i try to reflash, do multiple wipe before flashing, flashing from stock sd card, change partition of sd card (14gb fat 32+2gbext 3/4 - 15gb fat32+1gbext4 - 3gb fat32+1gb ext3 - 2gb fat32+2gb ext3 - 3,5gb fat32+512mb ext3), change hboot (table partition) (for cyanogen flashing), change radio but it always stuck on htc boot screen

last rom i had flash was piramyd007 (now i go back to acesmod007 v 40 cause v 41 same problem above)

acesmod007 v40 works awesome with sd partitioned 14gb fat32 + 2gb ext3

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sachin.02:
thenk you for give details..

Now first of all download ROM apk from http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/RomManager.apk

Download ROM from http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager/developers/bravo?name=HTC Desire(Whichever you want I'll prefer runnymede from SEB(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1315961 The thread Link))

Now.. Find your hboot version, As written 6.xxxxx taking by default you have r2 CM7R2 Version :Mind IT check it if you have cm7r2(if not then down this imagehttp://alpharev.nl/bravo_alphaspl-cm7r2.img):

USE ANDROID FLASHER FROM herehttp://deltaxent.com.au/af/download.php?device=desire

Unzip this

Open android flasher

let it update

choose desire

Browse recovery and choose the downloaded bravo_alphaspl-cm7r2.img

hit flash button(keep on fastboot uncheck if your phone is not on that)

phone will restart

on Windows you will get successfully flashed

Now...

Download the ROM(whichever)

Now..

Partition your SD card (Not more than 1.5GB..Ill prefer 1GB ) ONLY USING GPARTED LIVE(if don't know how to do.. PM me)

Now...

Put ROM in SD card

and Flash as you already did..

otherwise follow this

1. Start recovery

Choose Wipe data/ Factory reset

Wipe Cache

Wipe Dalvik Cache

Wipe SD-EXT(From mount and storage)

2. restart Recovery ReDO all of Step 1

3. Now go to install from Zip

choose the ROM(I would recommend to flash with cynogenMOD 7.1.0 first or choose as you like )

4. Flash the ROm

Let it install

Reboot..

That;s IT

I think your problem is due to cm7r2 hboot, stock hboot...

For this know you hboot then download the ROM made SPECIALLY for that hboot, than Flash

AcsSmod have both kind of ROMs..

Above must solve your problem upto 99%

can't say about remaining 1%

Best of Luck

Still in Problem, PM me.. may be I could help more

It may be the recovery's fault, if it's not the sd-card's. Try installing 4ext recovery. See how it goes.

[Verizon Droid Charge] Serinety:
So check this out. I got a replacement phone from verizon about 2 weeks ago. After the first few days i noticed a slight discoloration in the top left side of the screen. You could only see if on a white screen, other than that it was pretty inconspicuous. However I was dissatisfied that my new replacement had this defect so I called and they promptly sent a new one with standard 5 day shipping!

So, as the week went on this weird spot that I can only compare to a grease stain on a piece of clothing, started to grow... every day it was a little bigger. It grew at a rate that was barley noticeable. I had to see what icon it was touching, and then compare that to its position the next day.

by last night (about a week later) it had grown to affect half of the screen. i assumed that it would eventually take over the enter screen and I would be left with a slightly shaded screen coloring.

when i woke up this morning, this is what it looked like

Its pretty much totally unusable. you can see from the picture that somehow the puzzle piece pattern burned into the screen (not sure how as that screen is never on for more than a few seconds, especially since it wasn't burned in last night and my phone sits on my nightstand and was not on).

Its like the screen 'ink' or whatever just totally failed.

anyway, i have the replacement already, but I wanted to share this weird story :)

the replacement phone is already listed on ebay and I will be upgrading to the HTC Rezound as soon as it comes out.
[Verizon Droid Charge] AlexDeGruven:
Definitely a faulty panel there.

Very strange to see it go that way, though. Pretty interesting picture.

BTW: These screens are not LCD, there's nothing like "Screen ink" in them. Each pixel is an array of 3 tiny LED lights (one Red, one Green, one Blue).
[Verizon Droid Charge] Serinety:
thats what I thought too. So what is causing it to "bleed" like that? by the way.. its only been a about 2 hours since i took that picture, and its almost entirely "blue". my guess is that in a few hours it will be completely failed
[Verizon Droid Charge] AlexDeGruven:
Probably just a bad run on the screen.

I'd be interested to see if there are more of them out there, since the panels are manufactured in large batches, so one defect should have several similar screens like it out there.

Could also be a fault somewhere else in the device, like maybe the display controller, and it's maybe overvolting the red and green LEDs, causing them to burn out much faster. (pure conjecture on my part)
[Verizon Droid Charge] Serinety:
I did just install ep3Ha on that the day I got it. wonder if its possible something went bad in the flash and toasted the screen, or is that even possible
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
doubt it, that looks like massive hardware fail
[Verizon Droid Charge] AlexDeGruven:
yeah, I don't think there's anything you could do software-wise that would do anything like that.
[Verizon Droid Charge] letsgophillyingeneral:
Is that a pressure crack? That's what it looks like.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Serinety:
no, this happened very very slowly. it looks like an LCD screen when you sit on it or step on it.. but no. since its not lcd it cant do that.

it took it about 7 days to get to this point.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Serinety:
I was talking to a colleague of mine who is an EE. He thinks it was a failure in the glue that holds the layers of the panel together. because of how it started, small and in 1 corner, it is similar de-lamination that can can happen in things like plywood. these screens are layered pieces of plastics and material that allows it to work as a screen. once it started to 'peel' apart, it was just a matter of time.

the screen slowly started to come apart until it reached a critical point. the result would be the same if you had the screen out of the phone and started to separate its layers.

seems to make sense to me, hes the EE, im just a physics major.. what do i know
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:

I'm currently using CM7 and am wanting to move to MIUI but there are a couple of issues with the music player app which are stopping me. I connect my phone to my car stereo through bluetooth and it doesn't show the track metadata on my car stereo like in CM7. It also doesn't pick up the playlists I have on there and it seems to behave strangely with the scanning of my music folder.

Is there a way to get the music app from CM7 working on MIUI? I've tried installing it but it just FCs on launch.
