So now that we have root, what is the next step? I am not a Dev, so I'm wondering, someone has to take the system dump, deodex the files? Then, build the custom files that will allow/create the customizations? Sorry for my lack of knowledge, just wondering how far off we are from a custom ROM or at least the ability to run some of the customizations found in say ROM toolbox?

So i got my msl did ##3282# edit proxies to 0

Any ideas if changed to a diff number would i get faster media buffering like youtube etc.. just tryin to make the best of sprints slow 3g
[Motorola Photon 4G] jrebo:
What's the benefit of changing the proxy?

[Motorola Photon 4G] fnztakedown:
idk try it, it shouldnt hurt anything, and if you lose data connection just update your data profile under setting and same with PRL update and it should bring you back to 3g status

but play around with it and go to 10 or 1

i would try it but im at work right now and dont know my msl code off the top of my head
[Motorola Photon 4G] rbeavers:
Change settings to 0.0.0.0

Faster 3G data, not having to go through proxy.

I didn't see much of an increase, but I have good 4G.
[Motorola Photon 4G] lojak29:
Benifit is 99% of time you get faster speeds, this is a well known sprint hack!!

And it works on apparently many devices othet than evo where it originated from... but i was just curious on the buffering!

Diff numbers didnt help much on buffering "but all proxies to 0.0.0.0 and ports to 0 do!!

[Motorola Droid RAZR] MWFD:
Hello, I am wondering if there is an alernate method of powering up the screen besides pushing the power button?

I am coming from my Droid X, which would allow me to push the Home button or the Power button to activate the screen, but so far on the RAZR, it appears th Power button is the only way to turn on the screen.

If this is the only way to power it on, does anybody know of way around this to allow the Home button to activate?

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] EXYZ1000:
Try tap tap app
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MWFD:
Thanks for the response. Tried the app and not what I'm looking for. I'm not trying to lock the screen, just turn it on and off. I already use No Lock app to disable the locking, i just want to be able to power on and power off the screen by hitting something other than the power button. Its placement makes it difficult for me.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rem-X:
Hello all!

I was wondering of there is any way to switch.off.the gsm radio of the tab completely and permanently.

I found a solution using service code in the dialer but after resrtarting the device the annoying icon comes back onto the status.bar.

Thanks in advance!

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rem-X:
Just got a possible solution from frgking12!

I'll post it here if someone would like to try it:

I used Llama to create an Event called "Start Up" which will automatically turn Airplane Mode ON, wait 1 minute, then turn Wifi ON. This essentially makes it a Wifi only device and conserves battery life. Here are my Llama settings:

Conditions -

Phone Reboot > After Start up

Actions -

Toggle Airplane Mode > Airplane Mode On

Queue another event >

Conditions

Event name > WiFi on

Queue Delay > 1 minute

Actions

Toggle Wifi > WiFi On

Thanks to frgking12 again!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpgeek:
this method of turning airplane mode on and then enabling wifi also makes it so that bluetooth is disabled (and therefor won't work for my needs as I often use my apple wireless (bluetooth) keyboard with it.

unfortunately, it looks as if the post referenced by theREDlegion is a temporary fix that must be done each time you restart.

if anyone has an alternative, I too would appreciate the ability to turn off the gsm radio (and save battery life) as I too have a tmobile sgt and I also choose not to subscrube to 3g service but would rather use wifi all the time.

thanks in advance
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theREDlegion:
My reference was only for the OP's original request which is an easy way to disable the GSM radio, and EASILY revert back to it working, nothing permanent. There are also widgets to do this but some of them are buggy. The fix outlined works well, the average tab user does not shut off their tabs regularly only the screen. The OP will not find that this is something they would be doing constantly. There are also scripts that can be run at boot, or apps such as Tasker which can automate these tasks.

A permanent fix would be to flash a ROM without a modem, but I'm not sure how you would get rid of the existing one. I'm sure some searching would get you places.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpgeek:
ooh, that's an interesting idea. shouldn't it just be a matter of restocking the tab, then flashing overcome (or any other rom of your choice that doesn't integrate the modem software), and simply choosing to not install a radio at that point?

I might experiment with that at some point (has anybody else tried it?)

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sendan:
I'm looking to enable transparency for my the Dialer/Phone on TSM res 1.2. I can get the Dialer and Contacts tabs to properly display transparency, however the Call Log and Favorites tabs fail.

I can actually see the background behind the black squares, but I can't get rid of them. I've been working on fixing this for about a week. I've narrowed it down to a xml problem, however I've gone through everything in the DialerTabActivity.apk and all I've ended up with was a bunch of unintended results.

So here I am :/

This is what's used to enable transparency (in the styles.xml):

<style name="DialtactsTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Wallpaper">
<item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/custom_background_dialer</item>
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">@null</item>

If anyone has any suggestions it would be appreciated.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sendan:
Well I figured it out...although I'm not sure it's the right way. For some reason the "call" button under the "Call log" tab and "Frequent" tab (under the Favorites tab) disappears when I edit certain xmls. (The text is still visible though, as well as the "pressed" button image)

The edits include changing "@color/black" to "@color/transparence_color" in DialerTabActivity\res\layout\call_log_seperator or DialerTabActivity\res\drawable\listview_item_bg. The button disappears by changing either of them, separately.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomgillotti:
Ok, so last night my phone downloaded the update (guessing Gingerbread). I'm still running 2.2.1 on my Thunderbolt, as I was out of the country for the past few months. I caught the phone before it completed the installation and thought that if I removed the PG05IMG.zip file from the sd card, that would prevent it from being able to install the update. I turned the phone back on and it began to attempt to install the update again. I would like to flash a new ROM to the phone (as I was simply rooted without a custom ROM before) so that I am running 2.3+ but I don't want to have to re-root the phone. I would like to be able to back everything up before I flash a new ROM. How do I prevent the phone from installing the OTA update that was inadvertently downloaded last night , which will unroot my phone??

Please help! Thank you
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hallstevenson:
Not sure if you can stop it at this point and since the phone can still be rooted with the GB update, it may just be easiest to let it go.

Otherwise, if you really want to stop the update, you probably need to boot into Fastboot and find the files that are part of the update. From my Eris days, the OTA update isn't packaged up in the PG05IMG.zip file that you removed. I'm not sure where the files are or what files are the ones you need to delete though...

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hallstevenson:
Install a non-stock ROM. Don't worry, you can get Sense-based ones that won't be anything "new".

It appears that VZW will eventually force the update so there's no way that I'm aware of to stop it while running stock (even rooted stock).
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnyv5:
Flash a ROM that has the update. There are a few around here that are 2.11.605.5 that you flash in Recovery so that it'll stop bugging you to update. Just pick one that is already rooted. You can do a backup of your currrent rom, flash the 2.11.605.5 then restore your data and your all set....

Hi, this issue is specific to my NON-ROOTED Samsung Galaxy S2. I have seen other simsilar issues for other phones and they don't seem to help. My Battery doesn't seem to last more than a few hours. No more than 5-8 and it's dead. I turned off the Data and wi-fi. I set my Wallpaper to a Black background. It just sits on the desk and after a few hours it's almost dead...

you dont need to be rooted to flash new roms via odin

Also advisable to charge battery till full then use till its like 1% then recharge full and so on to calibrate it a bit.

You guys need to give more information if you really want decent assistance, there is an app called better battery stats, you want to look at your partial wakelocks section in that particular app, go get it either on this forum or in the Market, post screenshots of your battery graph in Settings>About Phone>Battery Usage and click on the time, also a screenshot of your partial wakelocks will reveal the issue 90% of the time

Also, there is no need to root your phone to achieve good battery life, unless it is found that a system app may be the cause of the poor battery which is hardly ever the case, anyone who points you to rooting to get good battery life has very limited knowledge of android and what is the cause of poor battery life...

Usually downloaded apps and user settings are the cause of poor battery, there is absolutely no need to root to be able to fix those problems.....
