[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coverton341:
Has anyone figured out an actual permanent solution to the market incompatibility issues? I am having to do the temp work around by clearing the market data about every hour or so. If I ever remove the market from my recent apps list I have to delete the app data and restart it twice or it doesn't take. I guess it isn't a huge issue but it is annoying nonetheless.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trincisor:
Which rom are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] druhaul:
so I just purchased the pro version of LCD Density Modder, lots of props go out to the dev, this app is great, running 287 DPI and loving it...

only problem is I tried both the permanent and temp market mod and I can't even get into the market after the phone reboots to apply the mod, when I try to go into the market I get the "market has stopped" error message and then the market just closes, I had to restore the stock market and I can get back into the market now, but of course I'm still having app compatibility issues....has anyone else that has encountered this issue have a fix for this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] druhaul:
could my issue be happening because I'm on stock 4.0.2?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] druhaul:
Even if I set my LCD density back to stock 320 DPI, I am still having the market incompatibility errors...is there any way I can get the market to work again or am I going to have to do a factory reset?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CB620:
do you have the pro or free apk?

I set my dpi, rebooted, than downloaded the modded market apk and overwrote the previous and everything in my market works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] druhaul:
Yea I did that, but when I try to open the modded market I get the error message, "market has stopped" and then the market just closes right away

I have the lcd density modder pro
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
Using 240 for a while.. love it especially with nova launcher.

switched to 320 today to see something and damn.. the phone feels like a retard.

So whats the pros/cons between 240 and 241?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kupfel:
241 is much better for me. Several apps were displaying strange with 240, most notably kindle. With 241 everything is great :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mekanismen:
Google Music was totally screwed up for me at 240. Afaik it has to do with apps thinking that your phone is a tablet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rroronoa:
Is there any risks when changing dpi? Tried too google but didnt find anything
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CB620:
if it is lowered more than recommended than you will practically erase your soft keys. Other than that you will benefit from a more crisp screen. The market will give you the incompatible message on certain apps but the lcd modder pro will provide a fix for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rroronoa:
Okey, thanks :) sorry didnt explain on previous post but i meant that can it do any harm to screen itself?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CB620:
No problem. Haven't seen any reports of anything in that area. Besides if you don't like what you see you can go back to your default setting. Make a backup of your rom just incase... You should be fine though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rroronoa:
Tested 241 dpi and never going back to 320 8)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pete_kowalski83:
I have to agree 241 is awesome, although text is considerably smaller it looks amazing
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rroronoa:
Yeah, and all of my apps are shown in app drawer only in two pages.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CB620:
Plays well with the fullscreen mod as well. :-)

Turned my dpi down from 250 to 241.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] druhaul:
So the market fix is working other than me not being able to purchase apps. Anyone else having this issue, and is there a fix for this?

I'm running 4.0.4 deodexed stock
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vesp:
same problem :/ -> workaround: buy apps via browser

another issue ... no updates available in market ... after applying the fix again, it works?! :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qazmi:
I use 240 before but Apex Launcher is not working with it. The drawer inky shown in the middle with 2x5 grid. Also it crash my ezpdf reader. Wonder if 241 going to be ok.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
So is the consensus that with the modded market you can update apps or not? Also, you can or cannot purchase with the modded market?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] druhaul:
I can update apps just fine with the modded market, but I cannot purchase apps at all...

the only workaround Ive found is when you want to purchase an app you have to uninstall the modded market, reinstall the stock market, change dpi to 320 stock, then purchase the app, then you can change the dpi back to your preference and install the modded market again...of course this workaround requires 4 restarts and it takes a good amount of time to implement, which is annoying, so if anyone has a more efficient workaround than this, let me know...
[General Questions and Answers] Endo Shizue:
I have scoured the Internet for information regarding any custom work for this phone.

I stumbled upon samsungillusionforum dot com, which is a dead forum with ancient posts and near zero activity. It seems to be an alias to samsungfascinateforum dot com. Why anybody would set a forum up in this manner is beyond me.

Last month I bought the Verizon Wireless Samsung Illusion SCH-i110. I waited around a month to see if anybody would post any information regarding rooting/ROMs for this phone to no avail.

I plan on trying SuperOneClick to root the phone, but as for Custom ROMS I don't know what is out there.

I would appreciate any and all information anybody has regarding ongoing customization work for the Verizon Wireless Samsung Illusion SCH-i110 running Android 2.3.5.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.
[General Questions and Answers] vlinkous:
I too have been looking to see if i can find a way to root this phone...i like the phone, nice and responsive and just a good midrange phone, however i do want to get root access for wifi tethering.... I have tried superoneclick, doomlord, z4, gingerbreak, and universal androot all to no avail... if anyone has success getting this rooted please share the knowledge and it'd be highly appreciated....
[General Questions and Answers] graydiggy:
I am in the same boat here... My girlfriend recently picked one up and hates all the VZW apps that are installed and we want to remove them and tweak the system a bit. I have scoured through the interwebs for close to 2 weeks trying to find anything that can root this phone. Unfortunately, anything out there as far as I can tell does not work... Can anybody please help with this?
[General Questions and Answers] shiznu:
yes please im in the same shape as yall i got a couple darts modded and now i have the gnex and it is great but if i cant find anything soon maybe this one will not majically work and need to trade for a differatnt model.......ive also tries every method th OP origanilly posted............sux new toy no mod:mad:
[General Questions and Answers] avelis26:
Same here. Starting to think no one will ever root this phone. It boggles the mind that there is an unrootable android phone on the market. :-(
[General Questions and Answers] t0ucht0ne:
I was an idiot to suggest to my wife she get this phone from Verizon - I just assumed it was going to be a quick root for this cheap phone and I'd get all that Verizon crap off of it and it'd run great...

Looks like it ain't never going to happen.
[General Questions and Answers] AlphaEchoViktorSierra:
did you try ZergRush? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1296916

It's not that it's unrootable, it's just no one spends time rooting/modding prepaid phones... I'd be willing to work on it but I would need a tester, someone who can use ADB
[General Questions and Answers] graydiggy:
I personally have tried everything including ADB to root this device. It isn't a prepaid phone. It is a contract phone through VZW
[General Questions and Answers] Jwarner83:
Just wondering if anyone has tried getting root by using Unlock Root from unlockroot dot com?
[General Questions and Answers] jcmarx:
I am also interested in any progress on this phone.

I have the straight talk version S720C Samsung Proclaim which runs on Verizon service.

I assume that once a root for the paid Verizion is working that it should work as well on the Proclaim?

I got this for my daughter and being able to wifi teather would be great
[General Questions and Answers] graydiggy:
I have tried every method to root this device. None have worked. Zergrush, unlock root, super one click, doomlord, z4root, manually, and a few other methods... Have the devs stopped working with one click root programs?

I'm sooooo glad I took that device back and *****ed enough to have them hook me up with LG Lucid for free :-P

[General Questions and Answers] jcmarx:
Ok so you log in, brag, but dont share?

Why waste time if you cant pass on some info.

Anyone that is actually willing to point us in the right direction?
[General Questions and Answers] PlayfulGod:
the info will be posted up in due time, when the exploited is published and a way for the majority to install it is done.

Was just cute the word 'unrootable' was used is all lol.

And no I was not the one who rooted it. ;)

anyone wanna test a kernel? ;)
[General Questions and Answers] graydiggy:
That is kind of a rude thing to do. At least post some info.
[General Questions and Answers] PlayfulGod:
You're right, I should not had said a word....

Shabby did post some info, check with him n step up n test or stay quiet ;)

dj posted what he could, he has root, took the guy 5min or less to do it once he had access to dj's phone. ;)

I dont have any info to pass along, except more info details and a easy way for you all to get root is coming.
[General Questions and Answers] shabbypenguin:
how is it rude?

most devs dont go in the Q&A section, ergo no one is really going to see your pleas for help except the nice folks willing to help answer questions.

Playfulgod stopped in to mention that you didnt ask the right people, djgru knew us from working on a prior phone asked us and bam 5 mins later was rooted.

i posted a link saying hey ive got some test stuff, you post to complain about not posting any info but dont click on the link taht would take you to our webchat...

from what i know this phone came out in nov 2011 and you guys have been waiting a good while, we are here to help ya if your willing... but if you dont want it then fine.. djgru can have the only rooted samsung illusion
[General Questions and Answers] graydiggy:
I was directing that at djgru, I didn't quote it. I saw the link but didn't have time to go to it. I think that it is rude to come here and brag like that and offer no help at all. He could have at least tried to offer up the steps to do it so we wouldn't have to go searching for a dev that may or may not have the time or the interest to talk to someone for even 5 minutes. I will hit that chat up when I get home from work today. But honestly, I think that at least posting the info here on this thread will help a ton of people save time and get their device rooted. Why is it so hard to do that?
[General Questions and Answers] shabbypenguin:
because he doesnt have access to the exploit. it is being kept secret so that samsung doenst patch it... instead we are gunna use the dumps from djgru's phone to root everyone else using odin
[General Questions and Answers] djgru:
well your lucky i dont 10 post yet but to end the arugement photos have been taken if you want any other angle tell me

ROOTED MUCH!

[General Questions and Answers] TribbleTrouble:
it seems that the USB driver gets corrupted on step 7 of SuperOneClick. Something about Shrewsbury pops up. I try to reload the driver while still on step 7, but it tells me to restart my computer. Is that what makes the Illusion "unrootable", or am I incorrect? New here, so be gentle, Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] jcmarx:
Posting here to let whoever know that Im willing to test to help things out. Just message me but I have the straight talk version of this phone but should all be the same since it runs on verizion towers also , right?

Samsung proclaim

and for the above posts some of us were just frustrated, we appricate all the work done here it was just qa little mean to tease us with 'havnt ask the right person' lol many of us dont know who the 'right person'is that is why were come here.

So for now we are partiently waiting and I am willing to help

Thanks again for your time and work put into each and every phone that has been rooted
[General Questions and Answers] shabbypenguin:
just as a quick update working towards kernel rooting since this will cover the straight talk version as well (as opposed to system rooting)

people, stop pm'ing me and join teh irc :P

we can root you no issues.. just we wanna get teh kernel working 100% before a true release.. as it stands youll need to use odin to flash teh kernel boot up and then flash teh stock kernel and tada! youll be rooted... reason why you have to flash back to stock is APPARENTLY you guys want cell phone signal and wifi... sounds to me like yall are just bein greedy ;)

progress may be slow due to me and PG having a life? weekends? kids? etc etc but progress is happening.. if you join teh irc channel and no one is talking, try saying one of our names.. if we dont reply in 10 mins then sorry we arent around try again later :)

Now that there is a working root for this phone, has anybody had any luck getting a custom recovery like clockwork mod working? I hope somebody knows how to make some customs roms for this as well like CM7 or perhaps CM9??? Thanks for the work on root btw :)
[General Questions and Answers] PlayfulGod:
messed with it with no sucess thus far. But the real issue is the kernel needs to work fully for cwm to be permanant. As is it would have to be flashed every time you wanted to flash something n then flash stock back to ragain services n wifi.

Any news on rooting method or custom recoveries?

Hey guys thx for the work being done on these phones.

I tried this on a straight talk proclaim and instructions are pretty straight forward. But when I install a hotspot app and set it up my laptop connects but when I open a browser it says verizon will not allow it .

Am I missing a step or what do I need to do now?
[General Questions and Answers] freestylejunki32:
Just an fyi...you can use foxfi wifi tethering app with no root whatsoever and I will work just fine.

[General Questions and Answers] TehMinja1134:
I have a friend that lives in another state, he rooted successfully and flased back to the stock kernel, however, he can no longer mount his phone to his computer, it shows up as a blank CD/DVD drive. It only started right after he flashed the root kernel, and it wont go away. Tried on several computers, tried different SD card, same thing. If he takes the SD card out and plugs it directly in the PC or with a SD card reader, its read just fine.

Can you possibly help? ive been trying for 5 hours now to help fix this to no avail.
[General Questions and Answers] freestylejunki32:
I am kind of surprised there isnt more developer intrest in this device yet. Being a pretty decent phone for the price and the fact that it is no contract on Verizon network i would think it would get the same kind of attention that the Optimus V has on Virrgin Mobile. I am really hoping somebody who has the know-how will put together some unofficial CM9 roms for this. I just may have to teach myself how to build a rom from source. Any way to get more developer attention to the illusion/proclaim?
[General Questions and Answers] shabbypenguin:
its a low end phone, comparable to the samsung galaxy s series (nexus s, epic 4g, fascinate) verizon already had 4 of these kinda of phones. (fascinate, charge, continuum, stratosphere) all with the same chipset. so no one is in a rush to go pick one back up especially limiting themselves to 3g. as for teh proclaim, its on straigth talk the only other android im familiar with is the precedent. the last time i tried to make something for a straight talk android i got ripped off by arenarom. ergo im not in a rush to do much of anything that they can copy paste again.

you want dev attention its prolly a good idea to reach out to some known good devs. hit of some devs off the 4 devices i named earlier. any of the knowledge we have on this device (which isnt much i assure ya) we will share with everyone if they join irc
[General Questions and Answers] PlayfulGod:
and its almost a must to have the device to do any real dev'ing for it. ;)
[General Questions and Answers] freestylejunki32:
I definitely get the fact that its not a high end device but then again neither is the optimus v which has a ton of dev support. The proclaim is better than the OV hands down and is no contract which for many like myself is a huge deal. I just wish I had the time/ability to make a rom myself. Oh well I guess time will tell if anybody becomes interested
[General Questions and Answers] jcmarx:
Where did I go wrong? I followed the intructions and the phone is now rooted but I no longer have 3g service. It shows it is getting a 3g signal but when I try to access market it says no connection, when I open browser it says this phone is not allowed some type of verizon message.

I tried to redo the process and still same thing. wifi works fine.

So I know the phone is rooted but does this allow the use of hotspot apps?

Im wanting to get this phone set up for my father, he is currently doing the usb tether but he has to call me each time to do it, he is 62 years old. Would be really nice so that he could just hit the hotspot button and his laptop would auto connect.

Some help or insight as to wher eI went wrong anbd can I fix what I have done to his phone. I dont think it is the root/kernal I think verizon has blocked it something

I have another one of these phone ( my daughters) should I try again on it?

Is ther esomething else I need to do or make sure I dont do or have ont he phone befor the root process? I did have hotspot apps alrdy loaded on it befor the root. Do I need to have debugging on/off does it matter if its set to charge only or mass storage? Do i need to make sure the PC is recongizing it (ie drivers working properly)

Also noticed there is a counter in ODIN does this counter matter? is ther e a limit of attempts?

Any help is appricated

EDIT:

Ok I got brave and tried this on my daughters and everything worked great. Myabe I disconnected the phone too soon on my fathers and didnt let it completly reboot or manybe I have a bad cord connection, either way my dad phone is screwed and my daughters is now rooted and has a hotspot app, btw android wifi tether was the only one I found to work the others for some reason just wouldnt. the only problem with this app is after using hotspot the phone needs to be restarted to allow wifi to be active again. Not a huge deal though.

Wanted to say thx again for the work put into this and any suggestions on how to fix my dads phone? Ive tried repeating the process but it still isnt allowing 3g data even though it shows up top.
[General Questions and Answers] shabbypenguin:
try a factory reset
[General Questions and Answers] freestylejunki32:
Foxfi wifi tether works without root just fine btw
[General Questions and Answers] stdroid:
Fox fi is the only tether I have found that actually works. Rooted or not. I don't use it for more than light browsing though, I keep my data use to a minimum, also a big thanks for the root on thus phone. I have no issue with the stock ROM which works for me just fine!
[General Questions and Answers] jcmarx:
I appreciate the info about fox fi and I had been having him use a usb tether app with success but he is 62yo and I wanted to simplify it for him as much as possible because each time he wanted to connect I had to walk him through the steps of connecting the usb cord and starting the program on his laptop(once again he is 62 and isn't the most tech savvy)

Anyways the rooted worked great on my daughters phone and the hotspot app mentioned above is working.

at this point really just wondering what happened with the first phone, I'm starting to believe it had nothing to do with rooting and something I did that cause verizon or straight talk to block the 3g service

Also the fact I have to restart the phone after hotspot to restore wifi function seems to be a known problem with the hotspot app so again I dont think theis was a rooting problem

Thx again guys for the work done on rooting this phone
[General Questions and Answers] graydiggy:
Like stated above, try a factory reset. That may kick it back. your APN settings may have also been messed up. I had that happen with really early attempts at rooting and literally had to manually restore the settings in the factory menus. you will have to call verizon. Just tell them that you rebooted the phone and now 3g doesn't work. they will probably be able to set you back up. But try the factory restore first.
