Directive A-980127-c, research pursuant to use of Bacon and/or pork related products in deterring Voluntary Self-Combustion (VSC) aka suicide bombing.

We have finally manage to isolate (with the assistance of the [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], and [REDACTED]) a potential terrorist (codename "Mohd") in [REDACTED] (location selected to reduce collateral damage).

Subject initially showed inhibition towards approaching the copious amount of bacon. However, the [REDACTED] suggested that in order to [REDACTED] the subject, we have to [REDACTED] him as a form of [REDACTED]. Further halal food were withheld.

On day 4, subject could not longer [REDACTED] and began investigating said bacon with the view to [REDACTED] it, instead of consuming said bacon. We recruited an Imam from [REDACTED] to shout into the loudspeakers that Mohd shouldn't touch non-halal materials, and the subject maintained distance from the bacon pile.

On day 6, Mohd finally slipped into delirium as the hunger and starvation deprived him of necessary nutrition and lost consciousness.

Conclusion: Bacon is an excellent deterrent against [REDACTED].

Recommendation: Placement of excessive amount of bacon piles in and around sensitive areas such as [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], and [REDACTED]. The necessary side-effect of the negative odour is acceptable in light of the threat to National Security. Additionally, the cost of bacon over the period of [REDACTED] years is lower compared to the cost of equipping and maintaining the TSA scanners, with Operation [REDACTED] on the table.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lethinath:
Hi all,

I had the bad idea to update the firmware of mz sgs from its original firmware to the latest one with kies.

An since that moment, quite few hours are alreadz passed..

The situation right now is:

Kies had a problem and in the middle it stopped to work.

Consequently, the mobile did not work anymore.

After switching to odin, I managed to install the JFD from samfirmware.

Now I would like to switch to the latest one.

But when I am installing it, it does not work.

I noticed that to install the JFD 3 files where required while for the latest (I choose italian for some stupid patriotism feeling) there is onlz one file (boot type)

Anyway, when I try to flah the mobile does not work anymore.

I get all kind of red reports for errors and it remain stuk in the samsong util screen.

Wiping does not work. In general, I think I tried every type of combination and guide...

So now I suspect there is an order in which one should install the firmware...

But I cannot find it..

Could anyone tell me which is the right sequence?

ps: in case my idea is wrogn, please link me a guide or a brief explanation.. I am a little at loss..

thanks

I didn't know if there was a topic started about this but I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a method to rooting without having to wipe each time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evodog:
nope, not to my knowledge
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jburnette87:
You have to wipe to change roms once anyway. Just suck it up and after you've done it once you can use titanium backup. Batch restore. :)

Anyone working on this? I have been checking the site and turned up nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evodog:
Since the Galaxy Nexus does not have an SD card, I am curious to know how the Titanium backups would work. If a custom ROM requires a full wipe, would it also wipe away the backups? (I know there is a dropbox option but I am curious to know how it would work otherwise)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jburnette87:
The phone has built in storage. It's a virtual sd card,tibu backs up to it like it was a standard removable sd card. Nothing gets deleted during wipes.

Titanium doesnt know the difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evodog:
thanks - thats good to know. now is there a way to write my music (or any other data) to this "virtual SD card" so it also gets skipped during wipes? i had some music in the regular music folder (root/Music) and it got cleaned up when i rooted (as unlocking bootloader = full wipe)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jburnette87:
Um,I don't have a lot in the way of music. I did download one song and updated the rom I was on (full wipe) and it was still there after the flash. I used the "easy mp3 download" app
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jburnette87:
Not sure where it stores it,let me find out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jburnette87:
Sd/music
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evodog:
thx again. i made a typo b4...i meant to say that my music was in /sdcard/music.

i can only guess (or hope) that the wipe in case of root is more intrusive than the wipe that we have to do sometimes while flashing ROMs
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jburnette87:
No problem man. Are you on the fence because of the lack of expandable memory?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evodog:
well i bought the phone so i guess im already over the fence :D

i dont use a ton of memory on the phone anyway. my old EVO had 1GB internal (i think) and i had a 4GB SD along with it...i never complained of space constraints. but this whole wipe mystery does have me puzzled and annoyed :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jburnette87:
Honestly, you'll never know it's not removable. Treat it like a removable sd card, nothing different flashing/wiping wise.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] androidlove91:
Sorry if this has been asked

I just got my g2x and the battery isn't that good like the mytouch 4g

So can someone suggest a good app to download. I currently only have app killer
[T-Mobile LG G2x] PL0X_Kleiner:
It really isnt good to use task killers on phones because it can screw with the Roms and such, but a good app to use would be something like Juice Defender. Hope this helped!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] androidlove91:
So get rid of task killer and download juice defender. Is there a specific set up I should use. I don't want it to interfere with me getting calls or text messages
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 100INFINITE001:
It comes with several presets. I use balanced, doesn't effect radio(I don't think any of them do), but one kool thing it does is stop data when your screen is off. That alone gave me a extra 3 to 4 hours, easy. It has a lot of kool other features to help. Advanced task killer- no noticeable difference. Juice defender- anywhere from 3 to 5 hours.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
Unless you buy the premium version of Juice Defender there is no way to configure for individual apps. I though data off when the screen goes off would be great, but if you need your POP Email in a timely manner it does not work so well.

I have not used it in a while, so someone correct me if I am wrong.

I am going to try Autostarts from the Android market tonight and see if stopping all the runaway apps helps.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] h22aboi:
If you have the free version of JD (I do) you can set up your schedule so that JD automagically enables data every few minutes to sync background data. I have it set up as 30 minutes.

Click the "custom" setup in JD. You can also buy the premium version which will give you much more control in the settings dept.

OP,

Used to come from MT4G?? I'm getting WAYYYYYY better battery life compared to my previous MT4G, but maybe that's just me. (I also like the G2x WAYYYY better)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jigajay:
I am also coming from a Mytouch 4G and so far only tried out 1 MIUI rom and still new but got 8 and a half hours of really heavy use with 10% when I got home which I think is pretty good I like this phone much better and notice it's way more faster and less laggy only thing is personally it's not as sexy looking as my white Mytouch 4G was I actually think the design of this phone is kind of weird hoping it looks a little better with a nice case.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EEngineer:
For Juice Defender, YMMV. I tried it and my battery life was worse compared to without it.

I admit to using Andro Task Killer. Unlike other task killers it doesn't kill system tasks. I tested it and it improves my battery life by 15%.

Also, install a good firewall like DroidWall and ruthlessly deny internet access to any application that does not depend upon it. This will save you lots of battery life.

Get SetCPU and set a profile to tune your CPU frequency to the minimum when your screen is off.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redmonke255:
I use watchdog. When a rogue app gets over 30% cpu running in the background I close it. Helped me more than juice defender.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] noobletsausecakebbq:
Little bit of advice... App killers are not that great because they will kill all apps and then all those apps will start again draining more battery than they would just quietly running in the background

I also recommend watchdog to kill apps one by one if u want and monitor rogue alps
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EEngineer:
Task killers don't work like that.

As I wrote, I did my own testing and the correct use of a Andro Task Killer extends my battery life by 15%.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
Actually they do, take a stock rom, unrooted and use a task killer to kill the ton of garbage running then wait a couple of minutes and check back again, there will be at least a few of those killed apps running again, if not more, not to mention any background services that are supposed to be running that likely didn't get killed.

If excess apps running are draining battery life either uninstall some, or if they are stock apps then root+freeze, no more irritating apps running in the background to drain battery life.

Edit: Also, apps like ATK run in the background as well, draining battery life as well, on top of the apps trying to run. Similar with Juice Defender, it's always running, I noticed improvement not only in system performance but battery life after I uninstalled Juice Defender.

The only "batery saver" app that does anything is the one from AnTutu, but it underclocks your CPU and who knows what else, so even that is a double edge sword.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EEngineer:
Look, why don't you run your own tests with Andro Task Killer? What you wrote is not completely accurate, and does not change the fact that I get 15% more battery life with my task killer, Period.

That is because some apps spawn background tasks that stay running after you close the app. These background tasks are made difficult to identify without using an advanced task manager like Elixir. They might use your data connection to send background data, or a poorly written app can keep your phone awake. Both ruins battery life.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] I.R.Chevy:
I use jd ultimate being able to have your antennas off saves batteries period. Not to mention the hundreds of features to tweak it i get substantial battery savings with jd. I am unfortunatly against task killers... i use antek to just freeze the annoying apps instead of killing them over and over and keeping another uneccesary app running...

Making bad decision's one at a time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] I.R.Chevy:
Oh p.s. owning a g2x=bad battery life period.

Do you use POP email? My email is set for 30 minutes. JD was set at 30 and then 15. I missed emails for hours. Love to squeak an extra hour or 2 out of the battery. I am using stock email on 2.3.

Stock rooted firmware bloat removed is an original firmware with root/su so as to allow system changes hence boat removed.

[Motorola Droid 3] Locane:
Like most Droid 3 owners I'm sure, I'm tired of paying ~$105 a month for cellphone service through Verizon that I could be paying ~$70 a month for through T-Mobile.

I've read the other thread here associated with unlocking the GSM portion of the Droid 3, but a lot of it seems to be shrouded in maybes and varied successes with a limited pool of test devices to draw on.

From what I gather thus far, the following is true:

- You can unlock the GSM capability of the Droid 3

- You can operate it on T-Mobile

- If you do, you will only get "Edge" connection speeds - No T-Mobile HSPA+ or 3G speeds. "Edge" only, at 512 kb or something like that.

Can anyone confirm this? Is there a way to get a Droid 3 to operate on T-Mobile's network at full speed?

Is there a more reliable and easier to use method to convert a stock VZW Droid 3 to something operable on T-Mobile?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can accurately answer these questions.
[Motorola Droid 3] BenSWoodruff:
The only thing I've seen that works is using the xt883 Chinese ROM and it only gets edge. Edge is fine for me, but I want a better ROM with access to Android market.

Im still learning how this device works; I just installed Safestrap and tried to flash the GSM CM7 ROM today, to no avail. I flashed a custom ROM on my Droid 2 last year, but it's been a while on the G2x which isn't as locked down.

I flashed the CM7 GSM ROM on the safe mode partition, thinking that was how to do it, but I got an error trying to back anything up because /system wouldn't back up. Then when I flashed the ROM it wouldn't boot. Im wondering if I was supposed to flash the ordinary CDMA CM7 first, then use the GSM one, since it's named 3gedit.zip. I haven't tried that yet though, and the fact that /system isn't backing up worries me. I didn't create a partition on internal with Safestrap, but I flashed the GSM CM7 ROM from coreless in safe mode and it wouldn't boot. Got back to non-safe mode and my stock ROM was fine, but I still want to see a good back up :-/

Any ideas from more experienced users would be great. I'm pretty much a blind guinea pig right now lol. I just really want to see CM7 on this D3, and have it work on T-Mobile so I can retire my G2x for a little while.

Thanks in advance :-)

Tutorial

note: This is not tied to any specific rom, it is not using the chinese rom it is simply taking the radio off the chinese rom which is all we need. It hasn't changed anything to me in user space that I have noticed.

I would recommend unlocking, rooting, flashing the radio, and editing the build.prop.

1. Unlock or online sim card unlock code seller but less reliable.

a) Meet the following requirements:

* Must be a Verizon Wireless customer.

* The phone being unlocked must be active on a Verizon Wireless line of service.

* The line of service must be active at least 60 days.

* The line of service must be in good standing for the past 60 days.

* Only one SIM Unlock per line every 10 months.

b) If you don't meet one or more of the above requirements, call anyway. You may still get lucky.

Call 1-800-711-8300 (Verizon Global Support) and ask the representative for a SIM unlock. Occasionally a representative may not know exactly what you are referring to; make sure you are not transferred to a different department. You are in the right place. Explain that they should have a walkthrough on how to do this, and that it allows for the use of local, non-Verizon SIM cards while traveling abroad.

c) Insert a foreign SIM into the SIM card slot on the side of your phone and then enter unlock code.

4. root ----> http://www.psouza4.com/droid3/

5. safestrap and backup in case something goes wrong -----> http://hash-of-codes.blogspot.com/p/how-to-safestrap.html

6. chinese radio ----> http://dropbox.com/u/25454276/radio.zip

7. flash radio ----> http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16206920/moto-fastboot-win32.zip

8. use something like root browser lite(free) to backup to sd card then edit your system/build.prop

I have called out, received a call and a text, I have checked my account information with the tmobile app on edge. I have been led to believe that its hardware that tmobile can only do edge since they use some non standard bands.

Thanks for replying. That's where I wound up going on my own because I was trying to use his CM7 last night. Can't seem to get it to flash though. Backing up with Safestrap isn't working either...getting an error because /system won't backup for some reason.

I think I'm gonna flash everything back to stock, uninstall Safestrap, and try the above from the beginning. I'd like to see if I can at least get edge and below on T-Mobile using a US ROM.

Thanks again!
