[Motorola Photon 4G] deedscreen:
First, call Sprint and ask for them to remove or credit the activation fee, If you don't succeed at first, try again. I went through 4-5 reps before I got my activation fee waived, call telesales, if they are not willing to credit it, ask for a free accessory.

To Root Your Device:

This link is to the AIO Root for the Photon. Follow the directions, and root. Your phone will reboot many times during this process, do not unplug your device.

Tho if the phone is already activated before rooting, you won't have to reactivate after.
[Motorola Photon 4G] moxiot:
many thanks. i was under the impression that everytime you loaded a new rom it had to be activated again.

thanks again
[Motorola Photon 4G] lucidvtec:
If may have to activate it but only a one time charge when u first buy or setup ur phone

The phone activate is more like a network registration
[Motorola Photon 4G] cornelious2:
unless they changed it online activation is free.

The only difference between GSM and cdma is network technology and radios. The root procedures and theories after it are all the same regardless of the network type.
[Motorola Photon 4G] SNAAAAKEE:
I would just like to mention that the one click root method mentioned above didn't work with clockwork recovery at least for me anyway. If you have any plans of flashing roms and kernels to this phone in the future you may want to follow the guide that qbking posted here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwRjFrzClBs and here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfJJ0h4d-80&feature=relmfu

big thanks to qbking for these I would've had a hard time rooting w/o his help.

Hey there. I post this question here, because i'm unable to do it in virtuous 2.0.0 forum :). Is it possible to change battery icon to the stock one? On the rom's forum i've read that with rom toolbox, but this app wants me to pay ;p
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradley_e_smith:
The easiest thing to do is to use UOT Kitchen. For battery icon it is real esy
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tun4f1sh:
create a filed called "use_stock_theme" in your "virtuous_sense" directory on your SD card, then reflash the ROM (without wiping anything). The file doesn't need any contents, it just needs to exist.

Hi guys,

Decided to try an android phone after not touching one since the magic.

Anyway couple of questions if you don't mind.

First is... can I root the phone without affecting the warranty?

I've noticed the note is very slow at waking the screen, is there anyway to fix this?

Also it seems sluggish in certain places like the lock screen, when going between tabs on the browser etc. Any tips or tricks I can do to help this speed up?

Sure I will have more questions in time.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaney1989:
change ya browser and wait for ics like me :) rooting has its side affects and security issues specially with beginners like me. bricked 2 phones and had my phone hacked:( if u wanna root check a tuturial first i did find a good article on google with pro's and cons of rooting . i think the warrenty will be affected but dont take my word. hope that helps

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techyrock:
Hi Everyone

Note : I did a search on this issue for any older posts found nothing sorry if i am wrong

I bought my Galaxy S2 from HongKong

when i turned it on for first time there were chinese stock apps,but no Android Market(Market) app, i have no idea maybe thats due to region

1-Anyways is there a way to get Andriod Market app?(i have downloaded two of em 3.1.5,3.3.1 they crash when i hit INSTALL/DOWNLOAD while downloading bar appears)

2- If i can not get Market app is there any other stock firmware that is best with Samsung default apps and Market app Closer to mine

I have Rooted(CF- Root) my phone

It came with ZSKI3 Kernel

Now it has XXKI3 Kernel(After Rooting)

Thanks in Advance!!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hannibal226:
Hey,

what u did with the files?

You know that u have to replace them in system?

So try this here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1331710

Use rootexplorer or kind of explorer which apply to go to system files.

Then copy (replace) it in system>app.

If you use rootexplorer, remind that you have to change it from "R/W" to "R/O"

(on top) which allows to replace files!

After doing it, clear the data like it's written in OP of the link.

Much succes ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vlad the Cat:
This. You dont have to actually "install" the market (or any other stock apps), but you'r supposed to push them to the system app folder where they belong.

Also dont forget to change from R/W back to R/O (i believe the guy im quoting didnt get it right, as R/W stands for read write, and R/O is for Read Only. But im not entierly sure. So its from R/O to R/W, place file, then back to R/O)

If i helped you, press thanks. Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hannibal226:
Yeah he's right, sorry my fold!

I was wondering to, so my version of RootExplorer has a fold, because it's exactly in the other way.

So sure, normaly from Read Only to Read & Write ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techyrock:
Thanks All for instant reply,

@Hannibal226 Well i did nothing to my phone i have read on threads about Hongkong stock roms there is no Market app included,I bought two Galaxy s2 sealed when i turned em on i didnt found Market app on both well i dont know about it my self Thanks Pal!!

@Vlad the Cat i tried your method from R/O to R/W then copied the Market.apk in System folder and installed it from there its working now Thanks

Thank You Both!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nicacapo:
Hi mates,now that we can unlock the bootloader ,rooting and flashing roms,is there any way of unlocking the phone?

thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
normally, if you have service with the originating carrier of the phone, you can just call them up and request an unlock stating that you're planning on using it overseas or something(and they'll usually unlock it for free)...

in this case though, there's a bunch of web sites that will unlock the phone for you, just do a search for 'cell phone unlocking'. it's around $20 on average, or i'm sure there's some independent cell phone repair shops in your area that will do it also.

Hey guys, just wondering what everyone is using for a video player? I tried vital player and v player and they both fc :/ any ideas for playing .avi on ics?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mklass:
I use MX player
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ibanez33:
Ive had quite good results with both the ones you've listed definitely faster frame rate with 1080p avi's with vplayer..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] baggy247:
MX Player has been really good for me, for videos that play without sound in the Gallery you can enable audio software decoding and software decoding works well for video too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DJTaurus:
All these players dont fully stretch video image in the sides like the default player. You got full screen only in default player. In the other hand default player does not support str subtitles and also opes all videos with H/W decoder and as a result most videos lag....for example in MX Player you can choose S/W decoder and the video plays smooth like butter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsunami1609:
If you're willing to spend some money Dice Player works perfectly. It plays 720p mkvs fluidly and even supports embedded subtitles. It even hides the main buttons when it's in fullscreen for that 4.65 HD screen goodness : )

Theres a thread somewhere in here about it. There's also a demo version on the market:

https://market.android.com/details?...EsImNvbS5pbmlzb2Z0Lm1lZGlhcGxheWVyLnRyaWFsIl0.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DJTaurus:
Full version has been removed...where to find it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsunami1609:
Hmm. It just disappeared. I don't know
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Perka:
Mx Player FTW :-D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rosswaa:
I use mx video player and it stretches to full screen, even when skipping through the video it shows no bars or anything just pure video
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] otacon888:
How did you get it to stretch full screen?

The buttons are still there on full screen...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rosswaa:
When I get home I'll find out my setting and what works
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shetlander:
They are for me too. Diceplayer got rid of them but I cant get the full version now. Hopefully it will turn up somewhere.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schriss:
Diceplayer is the only one that goes true full screen as of now.

MX Player still shows buttons in full screen.

I think these two are currently the best. Both are worth trying out as each has it's own strengths, find out which works better for your files/subtitles.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsunami1609:
The full version of Diceplayer is back up

I'm glad you enjoyed this info just as much as i did

To everyone YOU ARE WELCOME :) but please....the best way to thank me is by hitting the thank button at the bottom right of my post. Thanks!

@xxProphecyxx - here is a link for the nextbook7 http://gunnersbarn.wordpress.com/2011/11/04/how-to-install-android-market-to-nextbook-premium-7/ I don't see any root method listed on the site but im sure there is one out there if you want to root it too. Or you can even take a chance if youre brave and use a one click root based on the android version you have.

@ghi07 - All this method does is re-install the OS (which is Gingerbread to answer your question) with market and superuser.

@dalerious - I'm sorry but I don't have a Nextbook anymore but if I did I would definitely try my best to help you. Try doing the entire process over and see if that works. Good luck! :)

[Android General] tonygoes:
I had the same problem with the icons being too big. I fixed mine by going into the go launcher settings, changing screen settings, and playing around with the grid size and auto-fit items.

As far as getting the screen off - I'm not sure about that. Maybe the paper clip method, or if you have usb debugging turned on, you could do something with adb.
[Android General] Sunnyboy167:
UPDATE!!!

Hello again everyone :). I do see some of the problems you guys are having with your N8 after rooting so please bare with me as I am working as we speak on updating the first post with some general solutions and fixes to all of your problems. Please bare with me as I do not have a N8 anymore like I mentioned earlier. Thanks (the updates will be at the bottom of the first post and btw thanks for the heads up fongkit82)
[Android General] Sunnyboy167:
Drivers

@ flash12t - I have a 64bit win 7 system which is where I rooted first N8 so you might be off somewhere. When you point to the folder don't point directly to the win7 folder point to the folder that says "Drivers" and then it should prompt you. Click install driver anyway. I didn't feel I needed to specify that (:0) but do that and you should be fine.
[Android General] malou1007:
Hi! I tried installing the Nextbook8root package, it says downloaded successfully but when I search for the folder to update software device (Step 5), I couldn't find the folder anywhere in the c drive. I installed the regular version of the package and not the premium. Would this be the reason? If not, can u please guide me how to install the nextbook8root package properly? I live in Canada and was wondering if I can install the android market. I have spent quite some time figuring out how to install the market and thanks to your post. You made a lot of people happy and I would really appreciate if you can do the same with me.

[Android General] Sunnyboy167:
Lol @ 420kid. Point taken. Also sorry to all for the delay in updating the post. It is now updated with a new rom from Devmonkey. As far as those having problems with drivers on XP try going into your device manager and hitting scan hardware at the top after pluggin the N8 in to see if it pops up. Otherwise I can only recommend that you find someone with a windows 7 machine and give it another shot. Good luck to everyone.

[Android General] Montreal38:
simple question.

ok, found amd and x86 rockusb drivers.

After trying to install drivers to nextbook premium 8, sometimes says that this driver is not intended for this device or sometimes says driver installed.

After starting RK29update.exe, instead of saying rockusb found, it says Next8P and instead of EraseID, says format...lolll

Any other ideas, could it be that i found the wrong drivers?

Any help would be appreciated!!

Thx.

you have to go to the mmc devmgmt.msc and uninstall the device, then, you can restart the process all over again
[Android General] andyo70:
This thread saved my tablet and my sanity. I had installed one of the other roms from that Italian site, multiple one's actually but Devmonkey's is the only one that works perfectly.

Any other one's either Force Closed my camera or gave my tablet death on sleep.

I think it due to the fact that none of them are actually roms for a Nextbook Premium 8, but for Smartpad 810C's. Device is still reported as a Smartpad 810C with devmonkey's rom but despite this it doesn't produce the same errors.

Wish there was a little bit more development for this tablet. Maybe a kernel that can be overclocked.

As I said in my post, they all work to an extent but give you either Force Close with the camera or death on sleep. Only the rom at the begining of this thread works entirely without problems. V3.0 will give you death on sleep.
[Android General] User7570:
Help, please!

I have two next8P's running devmonkey's 15th December build and they've been perfect, until... the kids were gaming away on battery, ignored the low battery warning until the units froze then screens shutdown.

I thought I could just plug them in to recharge and they'd be fine, or worst case, I would reinstall the firmware if they were corrupt... but no.

Both tablets will not start, cannot be started using USB (USB device is not recognized) or volume key combinations. It seems as if the devices are not charging now and have too little power to even connect via USb to the PC.

Any ideas how I can get these devices charged and started up again?
[Android General] chuckyanutsup:
I've been using the next8p and tested a couple of devmonkey's roms. I'm currently using the one based on Samhain's release. I'm also keen to have a go at over/underclocking but have no idea where to start.

The only useful suggestion I think I can make on here at the moment is to carry a paperclip in your wallet to reset your next8p. I've had occasional freezes where it won't reboot. This has been pretty rare.
[Android General] User7570:
I have tried the reset button and no effect at all. Plugging in the USb on multiple machines just gives me the "USB is not recognized" message.

I've tried:

- Reset button

- holding the power button for anything between 7-15 secs

- holding both volume buttons and plugging in the USB

- holding both volume buttons and pressing the power button

- having both power plugged in and USB, then pressing reset button and then power button for 7-8 secs

all without any effect.

It looks like both tablets were used right up until they ran out of power, when one froze or went blank. To solve that, bothtablets reset button was pressed, which unfroze and reset them, but now they will not start at all.

It seems as though they are too discharged to even power up enough to start charging?

Any further ideas or experts that may have encountered this before?
[Android General] sport0182:
where's the driver?
[Android General] User7570:
sport0182, if you mean, do I have drivers installed, then yes. I have them installed, but this USB error seems to suggest that the device is not even identifying itself to Windows, so no specific drivers are loaded for the unknown device.

Which one? The ROM by devmonkey? I used the original rooting method back in December and the camera doesn't work. Does it work with devmonkeys ROM? Also, I saw a post that said after the battery drained on devmonkeys ROM the that the tablets wouldn't even recharge... In essence, I guess I'm asking are there any ROMs that give you cam functionality for Skype etc and don't mess up your Nextbook8 in some way?? Don't care bout over clocking out anything...
