[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] superganey:
No, the swype function won't disappear if you root.

If you're talking about warranty, well, it depends. Some stores still acknowledge warranties even if a phone's rooted, and some don't.

Risks? Well there's bricking your phone in the process, but it's gonna be almost impossible if you just read, read, and read instructions/posts about rooting before doing so.

Rooting gives you all the access to your phone. After rooting, you can install apps that greatly improves your battery like juice defender and freeze bloatwares using titanium backup. You can also install custom roms that is better than the stock rom which can improve performance of your phone. (made by the most awesome devs here in xda)

If you're super bored with your phone and you feel that it needs a face lift, ROOT it! It's gonna be legen... wait for it... dary!:cool:

2 days ago i installed almost latest open rom and after new rom installed i made update by OTA. I also rooted my I8150 because its damn easy. The most problem for me is to get info about which one files i can delete or freeze by Titanium to not destroy the system. Maybe someone can help me ?

İ have questions about rooting too.

Will rooting with unlockroot.com will increase the flash

counter?

İ cannot ask it to the releated forum because i am new user.

Thanks for any help.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] banelicious:
Don't take my words for granted since I'm pretty new too,but afaik only flashing custom roms increase that counter. And there's a way to reset it
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] badpanda:
Best bet is to take the insurance from your carrier if something happens claim and pay deductible. It can go from $50-$200 depending on your device, if you are under your 30 days warranty you can exchange or return it no questions asked... rooting will not harm your phone, is flashing new roms and specially new kernels you have to pay very close attention to what you do!

The only way you will trip Odin counter is when you flash the stock firmware using odin and download mode, the newest devices will not reset its counter even with a USB jig like the Samsung gs2 skyrocket.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sahink:
İ understand now.

Thanks for the reply's.

I know there is a lot more development for the HTC phones I've previously owned, but where the heck are kernels on this damn thread? Most of the ones i'm finding are in "All-in-one" packages.

Can someone point me to any threads that are just standalone kernels? Otherwise, a recommendation would be greatly appreciated.

Specifically, I'm looking for a kernel that works with WiFi tether. I've tried every app, changed all the apppropriate settings, and nothing works.

[Verizon Droid Charge] slapshot591:
Thanks for that. Unfortunately, his kernels don't support wifi-tether. Any tether app I attempt to load with the imoseyon 4.0.0 kernel, tethering tells me
[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
Wow, aren't we demanding...

As I see it, you can run Imnuts kernel. You can run Imoseyon 4.0 kernel. You can run stock kernel and root it.

You can run Froyo if you want with its respective kernels.

I'm certain WiFi tether works on all the GB and likely most of the Froyo kernels (I tried all the Froyo kernels to my knowledge.) There are some active threads regarding Wifi tether in QandA as well as General.

My recommendation is to try stock deodexed/debloated EP4D with IMO 4.0 kernel or run Tweakstock with IMO 4.0 kernel. I think its a great kernel.

I'm sure that Infinity with Infinity kernel is pretty sweet too, I ran an earlier release of it.

The development for this phone is actually pretty good considering. There aren't too many options, but at least the options we do have are great, especially considering the hurdles that developers have had to cross to get it where we are now.

I can thank this phone for making me dive deeper into learning about Android than I otherwise would have if I had a phone that was easier to mod.

One its set up right, I prefer this phone over any other phone that is available today (on any carrier.)

SAMOLED+, Wolfson DAC, 4G, anyone?
[Verizon Droid Charge] ferny_dx:
Try this, go to this site:

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

click on the downloads tab and choose one of your choice, i tried the new versions and they did not work for me, wifi did not work after turning it off, so i use an older one:

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wifi_tether_v3_0-pre12.apk&can=1&q=

now install it,

once installed, open it, press the menu key then choose Settings and then go to the option "Change Device-Profile"

I've tried the "Samsung Captivate" and the "Samsung Epic 4G" options and they work i believe that the "Samsung Galaxy S" and the Samsung Fascinate" work as well.

Then go back and go to the option that says "Change Setup-Method" and choose "Softap for Samsung (master)"

the rest of the settings is up to you, i believe that there are certain forms of security protocols not supported but you do have access control that allows you to choose who you allow to connect through your phone

hope this helps

This has been supported by all kernels ive tried so far including stock, you just need root access

---------- Post added 19th January 2012 at 12:03 AM ---------- Previous post was 18th January 2012 at 11:44 PM ----------

Starting with Gingerbread, Verizon has blocked the ability of 3rd party apps to enable the stock wifi tethering app as you could with froyo, now you HAVE TO use other tethering apps such as the one i posted earlier

the one posted allows the phone to act as an AP(Access Point), other apps such as barnacle(available in the market) can only do ad-hoc or peer-to-peer sharing, this is sometimes not supported by some devices such as Xbox 360, and the Nintendo 3DS
[Verizon Droid Charge] nismology:
+100 to the rest of your post but this part is the essence of why I love this device. One additional thing is that this phone's camera performance is unsurpassed by any other phone I've seen. Others are blown away by the quality. With that said, I haven't messed with an nokia n8/n9, but I wouldn't want to daily those devices anyway so that's a moot point.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
You could also pay for tethering, then you shouldn't have any problems...
[Verizon Droid Charge] ferny_dx:
Hahaha very true XD
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
QUOTE=ferny_dx

This is very true!!. If having issue with wifi tet., just reflash your Image and try again. Sometime flashing Rom+Kernel too much without proper wiping can cause residual and corruption.
[Verizon Droid Charge] slapshot591:
I know I'm some months late here but I wanted to thank you all for the input provided. I ended up using an older WiFi tethering app. This was for a coworker's phone, so that's why my question sounded so rushed/demading. Just picked up a Galaxy Note :D

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Riggers123:
Hi guys, sorry for another thread about a white galaxy s cover! So, the situation is that on Ebay I can find a fake white cover for the Galaxy S for around £3-4 (very cheap). Also, I have found a genuine white cover for £8ish from a top seller in Uk so i presume it is genuine. So I wondered which one to go for? I mean, I don't want a cheap one to not fit and be good quality because that would be a waste of money and I would end up purchasing a genuine one! Anybody had a fake cover??? How well do they fit??

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Sepharite:
I bought one. Mine is definitely fake, as 99% of them are if you're getting it off Ebay. It doesn't have the Google sign on the back.

It fits very well, almost perfect. It's slightly larger than the OEM battery cover, maybe a mm or two outward-back. The plastic feels fine. I'd buy it again. For that price, what do you have to lose?

edit: I bought a white battery cover, and a red plastic case: http://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqMOKiUE3GS6E42QBN081,hMLg~~0_12.JPG

Looks quite good, the white and red combination.

edit2: Just buy it from the HK seller. Local sellers just buy it from HK by the bulk, and then resell it. You'll likely get the same thing from either.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Riggers123:
Great! Ill bear that in mind thanks :) i think i will order one today!

I really don't see the problem in fake ones, quality is really good, and the price from the original is quite different. I vote fake :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] androidder:
Those white fake covers may look good , but they don't have a sharp click when it's snapped on like the original cover .

So my guess is upon repeated usage of taking and putting back the cover , it might get so loose , that it won't fit anymore

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinslwc:
I haven't used XP for a while (other than at work, where I am not responsible) but, I think Start -> run -> msconfig.msc might help you out. You can disable anything you want during startup. You can probably also tell what you are disabling because it will tell you the path to the executable. After turning a bunch of stuff off, reboot and see where you are at.

Do you think adding to the virtual memory heap would help I only have a gig of ram and 2 gb of vm so far wuld more be helpful? I have a lot of hard drive storage something like 160 or so, anyways ill look at the processes
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinslwc:
I am sure you already know this, but virtual memory is much, much slower than hardware RAM. That said, increasing virtual memory probably won't speed up your system, but will allow for additional multitasking (running more programs). Windows does a pretty good job at managing the virtual memory and keeping the more accessed information in real memory.

In short, I don't believe that increasing your virtual memory will make much of a difference. 2GB should be plenty. Additionally, if you are using a 32-bit version, Windows can not access more than 4GB of RAM (including video RAM, and hardware RAM) and that limitation may include virtual memory. Typically, 3GB is about all you can use with a 32-bit OS.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Thanks I know a ton about my phone but hardly anything about my computer its odd. Anyways ill look into that msconfig and let you know what I come up with I was hoping for something similar to a task manager/memory cleaner here on android ;)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinslwc:
The task manager... right click on start bar (not on a button or application) and start taskmanager. All applications have an associated process but not all processes have associated applications (at least applications with a GUI). From the process list, which will have what you want to get rid of, you will probably have to google each process name to determine what it is and how to get rid of it and if it is safe to do so. When I do a fresh XP install with anti virus and a minimal application set, I have somewhere around 40 total processes.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Got about 52.... not bad I guess but is this bad?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinslwc:
That looks pretty good. One thing to remember is that "cached" physical memory is almost free memory. The operating system has files and other data that is cached in RAM for quick access but can easily be dumped to make room for new information.

So, now the question is, what is the problem/symptoms that you are trying to solve?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjben:
Msconfig is really meant as more of a trouble shooting tool. It's not proper to use it as a maintenance tool. If there's anything that you want to disable at startup you really ought to handle it in that particular programs options. Or consoder uninstalling tje program entirely.

Better than the stock windows defragment is a program called defraggler.

Also, you might try a windows XP forum. I think they would be better help.

Since I had such good results last time I posted about a pc I was wondering something else.

My mother uses her pc for work and it requires certain system files that work like a network or a passage to her works servers. Something in system32...idk anyways... I was wondering if it were possible to image her pc and flash it onto the new pc I'm going to be getting. If not She really just needs xp on it and needs internet explorer 6 and her word 2003 it has a lot of auto corrections/ shortcuts in it. The system files can be put on it by her tech support. Basically she needs xp on her new pc with her internet explorer 6 and word. What would be the easiest way to do so?

I know I could find internet explorer 6 somewhere.

Also for the word I could transfer the auto corrections to the newest word 2010 but I hear it has to be done for each auto correction and she has upwards of 500 hundred.
