[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] QNBT:
Im guessing that "Koodo" is your carrier? You have to root your device before being able to unlock it at all so it wont really matter what carriar ure on.

I think that's how it works, since i got my ace w/o contract I didnt have to deal with this.

edit: beware, unlocking your phone may brick your phone, or maybe just loosing ure IMEI (source: all the xda threads)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Buckii:
Yes Koodo is the carrier i my self am not 100% sure what they did to it if anything at all to the phone i know i seen a few root guides online just seems like it's alot to do to root it i am sure it can be did i have full access to rom manager and would like to toss a custom rim on this unit as i did with my lg optimus one is all to which is running void forever... Plus to be able to get rid of all the bloatware in this phone would be nice any how a little help would be grand
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] QNBT:
Rooting SGA is not hard at all, sga was my first android phone and I was able to root it on my 2nd day of using it.

DONT use Rom Manager, just flash CWM (clockworkmod) and use it instead, ull probably brick your phone using Rom Manager (even after doing backup and stuff).

edit: it just seems to be a lot of step when rooting SGA, i assume you read the information from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=12874680#post12874680

If you reduce obvious steps like "2) Turn on your phone" "4) Connect your phone into PC via cable" etc. ull get a very short tutorial.

like this:

(text in italic = added/edited text)

C. Rooting for 2.2.1:

2) Enable Debugging at Apliccations>Programming

3) Connect your phone into PC via cable

4) Launch Super One Click 2.1.1 and Click "Root", wait.

7) When the process is complete turn off SOC and unplug your phone and reboot it.

So it's actually just 4 steps.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Buckii:
Not bad so your saying I should toss rim manager off and such... I now see it easier then i had read before lol... Now what about flashing new software like stock gingerbread? Will it free memory up and what rom would you suggest for this model CM7 or something lighter?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] QNBT:
Yes, never use Rom Manager is my tip, even though it does work in very few cases... And as I mentioned, use CWM instead.

I would recommend CM7 to the more experienced users;

not

saying you need to be a pro to use it, but it's not as stable as the stock roms. Just stay away from settings that you dont know anything about and you should be good (especially the options in performance).

Flashing roms and such are all in the link that i posted before, take some time reading it and you should be good to go.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Buckii:
Perfect... See i typically do read through all guides but beeing new to android by about a year now it dont hurt for advice from people that has been around the OS for a abit longer and have had experience in said things
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] chevymeister:
Oh ok, you need to root before you unlock anyway. Cool. I wanted to root it anyway, just wasn't sure if it was before or after unlocking. I just seem to have some proprietary Koodo firmware on here so if I could remove it I'd be alot happier. I just see lots of flash tutorials for old versions like 2.2.1, not 2.3.4. Wasn't sure if it would be compatible still or not. I just want my phone to be like one I got from samsung, not one from Koodo. Proprietary bungholes. Lol.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] QNBT:
Dont know if you noticed but ill quote the part for 2.3.4, download link is in the first post of the "how to root-thread".

"E. Unrooting for 2.3.3/2.3.4/2.3.5 (Thanks to ingbrzy):

1) Download attached file called unroot.zip and copy it to your sdcard

2) Turn off your phone

3) Press POWER+HOME BUTTON

4) Select update from sdcard, select the file unroot.zip

5) After the update completed - reboot

6) Now you have rooted S5830"

In 2.1.1 you wont be able to chose zip, dont know if that is the case for you. But if that is the case simply change the unroot.zip to update, then chose to update your phone and it will automatically search and chose it.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
Gingerbreak exploit works for Ace right?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] chevymeister:
Thanks man! I didn't find that thread. I just came to my phone section and read the sticky but it didn't advise me so.

Thanks again! Will try this in a bit!

Wait: edit. Read that again... Unrooting...rooting?...hrm. I wanted to root. Last line says root but the title says unroot.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] QNBT:
Yeah, sorry about that.

Copied the wrong text:

D. Rooting for 2.3.3/2.3.4/2.3.5 (Thanks to russian forum-user with nickname may213):

1) Download attached file called upd_1.zip and copy it to your sdcard

2) Turn off your phone

3) Press POWER+HOME BUTTON

4) Select update from sdcard, select the file upd_1.zip

5) After the update completed - reboot

6) Now you have rooted S5830

But dont be lazy, just check the thread for further details :D

basically same principal as unrooting.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] stevenc19:
When ever I read this title "root and rom" u thinkvof the song bounce and boom :s lol
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Buckii:
I tried gingerbreak and did not work and that i think the name is z4root and that just stays at the text "applying exploit thing" and i tried superoneclick or what not and it freezes windows while detecting device i tried holding home and power got into recovery gave me option to run the update with zip does stuff then abortion due to file missing so rooting this thing as per many instructions just is not working with me lol
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Buckii:
And it's funny i had the LG Optimus One through Koodo and the root was easy as ssh!t and i slapped a version of void. #Forever on it and worked great but i then used my tab towards this because I was 26 bucks short for the Nexus S. Gah now even if i took it back any way this damn phone is abit rough damn the bloatware
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] QNBT:
You need to explain the steps that you took since I have never used gingerbreak.

And about the update thingy, if you dont have an update.zip on ur sd-card you wont be able to update, pretty logical.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
Gingerbreak is not z4root .

Those two are for different Android versions and I can't believe you mixed those 2 up .

Gingerbreak cannoy be found in the Market and let me guess , you searched in the Market

ROM Toolbox: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolboxpro&feature=search_result

Just wondering if any fellow Bionic owners have given ROM Toolbox a try? Is it worth the $5?

All the reviews are looking good, but haven't heard anything from Bionic owners...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Rootuser3.0:
It is good if your using liberty rom. Idk how it works with stock rooted or theorys rom. I used this toolbox to change my boot animation and download roms.There's also an option to download Theory's Roms but nothing pops up when chosen. The app also has built in root browser and performance tweaks to cpu and sd card. All in all I think it is worth $5.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Jabagg:
Using it right now on Eclipse, only really use it to change fonts after moving from Liberty. The free version is enough though, the pro version is more for donating than anything else.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tivo7:
It works great. Its built for the Liberty ROM.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] neckbonest:
i love it with all roms. you can get rid of a couple of app and just use this one. the root browser is nice. you can create and restore nandroids back up all apps freeze apps to plus lots moe. boot animation is nice cause i like to change mine alot
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Terror_1:
I checked it out and it does what it says it does.

The good thing is that it can do all of this stuff from a central location which is really nice.

The bad is that it's $5 bucks.... though I can't say that I don't spend more than that on lunch a few days a week.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] the_kwa:
i ended up picking it up... works great on liberty so far.

I did however bootloop my bionic changing my battery icon with the Shift3r Rom. Everything worked fine at first. Then for what ever reason I restarted my phone and it went into a bootloop.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
This also works completely fine on stock ROMs, fyi...

I enjoy it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] neckbonest:
did you replace it with the same percentage icon that you already had? if you change to a different percentage like going from a 1% to a 10% incraments it will cause problems
[EVO 4G General] shekinahsmoke:
Hello peeps,

is this impossible? Im a noob and Im trying to install the 4.54 rom update on my EVO 4G (and trying to get my post count up. lol)
[EVO 4G General] metalfan78:
Yes its impossible to do without rooting. The only thing you can do is accept the ota. Or you can root and do anything you want. Its not hard. Just read read read. And ask for some help if needed. There's a whole thread in the dev section specifically for first timers

We're comin from a pure power source.
[EVO 4G General] eggsack:
Rooting is eliminating the need to do anything you do not want to. Without it, you can not uninstall bloatware, cool apps, install one of dozens of great ROMs for your viewing pleasure.

You can not install a custom ROM without being rooted.
[EVO 4G General] Cuppeerr:
Technically you can. If you acheive s-off on your phone then you can flash a recovery. And s-off isnt root. It's just and unlocked bootloader. Once you have an unlocked bootloader then like i said you can flash a recovery image then install a rom. Heres a link on how to get s-off! revolutionary.io

Good luck!
[EVO 4G General] shekinahsmoke:
dope. I'll try these methods.. but Im not rooting my phone ;)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] badogg:
I'm running the CM7 nightly, which doesn't have the barcode scanner app in it. So I went to the market and it is telling me that it is not compatible with my device and I can't install it????

Does anyone have an apk of it or something? I googled and found a bunch of other sites, but I don't know if I trust anything of that nature outside of a place like xda.

Thanks!

Unfortunately I am only using the features the DLLImport project (which is really awesome) provides so you would need to ask fiinix to support HTC devices.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] dkp1977:
I hope so too. Having the live tile update every 10 minutes is gonna be a great improvement over now. Even though I'm afraid it will have some noticeable impact on battery life.

Live tile says discharging when pluged in and charging

Hi!

Notised something about the live tile today, when i have pluged in my charger the live tile says discharging when it flips over to seccond tile.

Hmmm... now it working :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] jimski:
The app only updates the tile every 30 minutes, unless you tap it to launch the app, which then updates immediately. So after you plug in you may have to wait 1 to 29 minutes before the tile changes to charging.

The 30 minute rule is currently a limitation of the OS, but the dev has mentined he may try changing the update cycle time to every 10 minutes, but not sure what that will do for battery life. Actually have my phone running an overnight test right now with all background tasks (and radios) turned off. Tomorrow I will turn only Battery Meter on to get a sense of how much juice, if any, it is actually using.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] mido-mido:
cause i'm a huge fan of your app i have something to say to you so you maybe able to add it to this gr8 app...

1-add charging image for live tile...(when we connect it to zune or chagre it...) (/EDITED) i'm sorry...wrong suggestion...it has it now...tnx to nobnut for reminding(EDITED/)

2-add time remaining for live tile(not for the 1st tile...for that one that shows the battery with font...i mean this one......)(the one that show in setting>>battery saver...)

thats all for now...tnx in advance...
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] nobnut:
There is a charging image. Unless I don't understand your request.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ToddeSwe:
Yes i've noticed and i think it's better not to update to often, pitty though that it's limited by the OS... the live thing is kinda not live :)

And btw, nicer looking tiles would be nice to see... more colors :) and real like images...
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] jimski:
Apps that are supported by an external server can update a tile almost continuously. Pro Sports Scores will update a sporting event on their tile every minute for example. And toast notification are sent to the phone instantly. But the background tasks are restricted to updating once every 30 minutes in order to preserve battery power.

Sure it would be great for the tile to update every minute, 24 hours a day. But if that's going to cost 10% of my battery, or more, do I really want that. Does anyone? More often than not, when I turn the phone on and check the tile, it is spot on or within 1-2% of actual. Close enough for me.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] mido-mido:
tnx for the new version..i'm looking forward for it...but one suggestion...(the 4 which is coming...)

make some theme for tile...i mean let the user select which color should this app tile be...

as you know if we choose blue accent the tile changes to blue...when we change accent to red it changes to red...but you know what???

if you add custom color for your app i'll be gr8...

let user choose which color the like...

for example...

the accent is red....but user likes this tile to be blue...so you make a option for this one so the user can change the tile color...

by this way we can make our phone full of color...and it'll be amazing..

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ToddeSwe:
Hi!

I'm not that good at this and this is new information for me (thanks).

But i'm with you when i comes to saving our batteries. I guess i'm spoiled with features and bling bling. :)

This is the only and the best battery app on WP7 so far.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] singularity0821:
In the new version you can choose between 10 and 30 minutes for the update interval. 30 is standard and it won't use much battery because it only runs for a short moment. If you choose 10 minutes it could use a little more, that's why 30 minutes is the default.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ToddeSwe:

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] singularity0821:
No, as it only updates every 30 minutes. It will also update when you start the app, but not if you start it all the time. The graph control I am using is a little sensitive to data from within a very similar time span, which would make it crash, therefore this restriction.

Just give it some time. :)

Strange. Make sure the background service is running, and that the battery saver is disabled. As I said, It needs some time to show the graph, but 7 hours should be more than enough.

That's a little issue with the new graph control. I will try to fix that in the next version.
