[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] QBall16:
While I haven't rooted my Prime yet, I'm only in day 6 and waiting until the "send it back" period elapses I rooted my moto Atrix2 almost immediately. I installed Titanium Backup as well as System Tuner, and a couple other root only apps. The primary reason for rooting the Atrix2 was to freeze Carrier ID as I don't care for ATT snooping on me with without so much as a by your leave. In any case I'll probably root the Prime just to get more control over what the device is doing when it's in standby. For instance I am hoping to be able to use Tasker to shut off the wifi after 5 or 10 minutes in standby in order to save battery power and turn it back on,when I wake up the tablet. Maybe find a way to create different, more detailed power profiles for different activities. I've done a lot of this on the Atrix2 and seen some significant increases in battery life because of it.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Incorrect, Rooting has nothing to do with flashing ROMs. Unlocking the bootloader on the other hand, has everything to do with flashing ROMs.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Neter67:
right. i don't think that any ROM can improve the already very good existing one from ASUS.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Felisek:
I haven't rooted my TFP, but I'm seriously considering doing so. The main reason is that most of (good) adbockers require root access. Loading all this rubbish adds, many of them being large flash animations, slows down browsing experience significantly. I want to get rid of them and the only way I know is by rooting Android.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
For me about the biggest thing is "AdAway" or any other app for updating host file.

Never see one single ad on your device again. Less anoyance, faster loading times in browser, less data consumption ...

Anybody have on on their Nexus S 4G? If so how has it held up? I have the Skinomi full body on my SGSII and it has a very distinct orange peel look to it and gets damaged by my fingernails or any hits it takes...

I figure for $8 it can't be that bad..
[Nexus S Accessories] Feeshie:
I have it and I love mine. Pretty much every skin of this type has orange peel but I think this has less than zagg.
[Nexus S Accessories] Sean-El:
Hmm.. good to know. I like the Skinomi one but for $15 i decided against it. I like the body cover but not the screen on the skinomi.
[Nexus S Accessories] Feeshie:
I'm about to post a review on a case which has some pictures so you might be able to see the orange peel, but my camera is bad..
[Nexus S Accessories] uansari1:
I've had BSE for about 9 months and I love it. It's protected the phone very well from the couple times I've dropped it on a marble floor, so I think the shock protection is worth the minimal cost alone. Orange peel effect is minimal as well compared to Zagg and Ghost Armor. I'm about to order another full body skin, because a couple corners are finally starting to come up. Highly recommend.
[Nexus S Accessories] Sean-El:
Thanks, I like my Skinomi one on my SGSII but the screen protector is 7/10. I ordered two of the BSE and it looks like everyone likes theirs.
[Nexus S Accessories] uansari1:
I've tried many of the wet application ones, and the BSE has the least orange peel.. Frankly, I'm looking now and I don't see any..
[Nexus S Accessories] uansari1:
Thought I'd post an update here. I actually dropped my phone on pavement from about 4 feet today. Fortunately the BSE did its job and the device came out without a scratch. Just the protector was scuffed a bit in two corners and started coming up a bit. Thankfully, I ordered a full replacement a few days ago. Definitely happy with the protection offered by this product.
[Nexus S Accessories] Sean-El:
I got mine 2 weeks ago and I absolutely love them. It is way better than the Skinomi. I can barely tell that the back has a skin on it. :cool:
[Nexus S Accessories] camalus:
I have been using BSE for years. I tried skinomi on my NS just to try something else.... took it off a week later for a new BSE.

I have 8 android phones and two tablets covered in BSE... love it.
[Nexus S Accessories] Zardos66:
I use BSE for all my android devices. Love it.
[Nexus S Accessories] kwantran:
with BSE, I also agree it has the least orange peel affect, but I believe it's one of the thinner screen protectors. once something gets dented into it (like keys), it stays there forever from my experience. I currently have zagg and even when something dents it, it'll "heal" itself after awhile.

for 8 bucks though, BSE is definitely best bang for the buck. I use zagg for the screen (I got it discounted) and BSE for the rest of the body

works on my 2.3. 6 defy+
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister Ypsilon:
I am currently using the latest CM7.2-Nightly for Defy+ with the camera and battery fix attached in that post. It is very, very stable and with the fix, the battery charges up to 100%.

Installation:

!!!Read all steps before you do them!!!

1. Copy the three files linked above and the CM7-Google-Apps to your SD-Card.

2. Root your defy. I used this method.

3. Install 2nd-init recovery:

3.1 Download the app SndInitDefy from here

3.2 Install and start the app. Press on "Install 2nd-init Recovery".

3.3 Choose "Latest Recovery"

3.4 Allow the superuser-request

4. If the LED is green now, you can reboot your Defy. Press Vol-Down when you see the blue LED

5. Now you should get into the bootmenu. You can navigate with the volume keys there. Choose "Recovery" and press the power button to select.

6. Now choose "Custom Recovery"

7. Choose "install zip from sdcard" and install the downloaded zips:

7.1 Install cm72-120127.0846-NIGHTLY-Defy+.zip

7.2 Install gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip

7.3 Install the fixes (the two other zips)

8. Now you have to do a factory reset. After that all your apps and settings will be deleted. If you want to keep them, you must backup the apps/settings first. You could do that with the app TitaniumBackup.

9. Choose "wipe data/factory reset" to do this factory reset.

10. Reboot the defy now. If you stil see the boot animation after five minutes, reboot the defy (I think you must remove the battery and put them into the phone again).

Now you should have a defy with CyanogenMod 7!

188 2.3.6 motorola defy+ their full SBF will not work the root of the superoneclickk 2.3.3 not possible
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fr0dzy:
WARNING!!!

The below guide is useless! It instructs you to download 2ndinit 2.0 which DOES NOT BOOT on Defy+ I have thus far killed 2 phones using it!!! Only use 1.4.2 no later. Thanks! =)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolgame:
dude u have done something very wrong.i have installed the recovery like 5-6 times over and over and it worked on every occasion.even after flashing full SBF twice on my defy+.and it was 2nd init 2.0 with a 1.0. 7 bootmenu
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister Ypsilon:
That's strange...

For me it works well, i installed CWM sucessfully on both 2.3.4 and 2.3.6 devices. I was using the original firmware (from factory) for the 2.3.4 device and at the second device i flashed a 2.3.6 DFP-139 sbf form droid-developers.org. After installing the latest recovery and removing the "2nd-init Defy" app, I rebooted the phones and everything worked fine.

When you start the phone, do you see the blue led then? If not, you don't have installed 2nd-init correctly. If yes, try to 'wipe data/factory reset' the phone (you should have a backup, this erases all your user data which is not stored on the sd card and all your apps). If the phone is still not booting, you/the 2nd-init installer have/has made a wrong change to the system partition.

Then you should try to flash a new 2.3.4 SBF (look here and also here) and try it one more time.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebeleagle:
thank you very much mister ypsilon...

your method works perfectly...camera works...though i cant find out how to check if its charging full, (it shows upto 100%, is that all i need ?)

i have some minor problems though:

1)sometimes when i go out of coverage area and come back, the phone doesn't regain the signal

2)there is no 720p recording...had that in the stock ROM...
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veeranna:
i want to try 7.2 cm7 for defy+ but on dual boot, did any one tried ??? plz procedure guyz.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebeleagle:
dual boot

afaik you absolutely have to dual boot a defy/defy+...because of the locked bootloader you cant remove the stock rom...

follow the above instructions carefully and you will have a cm7.2...then you can dual boot by selecting the preferred entry from the menu....
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pranks1989:
Bro even I have done this n times! In fact I had stock 2.3.4 which I upgraded to 2.3.6 by a full SBF flash and since then I have rooted using superoneclick and installed recovery many times and it works perfectly! The only issue however is that there are less frequent releases for 2.3.6 as compared to the Froyo kernel!

1. Ijust bought a defy +....it has version dfp_1321.....do I need to flash any other sbf before ics????? It is presently 2.3.6 stock at present.....rooting n all not a problem.....just wanted to know if any other specific sbf or nandroid backup would be necessary.......

2. In the thrrad fr dis sbf Walter said cm7 and miui are unavailable....wt happens if u flash them??????
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pranks1989:
Hi,

Good to know new Defy+ are coming in India with latest updates! I too have the very same SBF in my phone. As you said rooting and all not a problem. No need to flash any specific SBF as such. A nandroid backup is recommended in case you want to come back to where you left before flashing! And if you want back warranty just flash the SBF with RSD lite(Walter's thread has the SBF and even I can give you the link if you want.).

For your second answer:

This SBF has BL6. So you cannot go back to any ROM or sbf which has a previous version. Thus, walter said about unability to flash MIUI or CM7. However, you can flash CM7.2 for Defy+ or CM9 for Defy+(By quarx). Just flash the CM. No need to flash any kernel. It worked fine for me. You can even try dual boot and that too works great.

Happy flashing! :D
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bharaththeunique:

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ejstubbs:
Bro, dont speak from ignorance, especially when it can lead to others ending up in a bad place. The latest versions of 2.3.6 eg 4.5.1-134-DFP-188 can

not

be rooted by any currently known exploit, so you have to be careful when choosing an sbf to flash. See here for which versions can and can't be rooted.

There's even a whole thread all of its own where people are trying to root the latest 2.3.6 releases, here.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pranks1989:

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anandcs:
Followed the steps listed by Mister Ypsilon, on to my new Defy+ which used to run Motorola Stock with Motoblur. So far looks good. I will post further regarding the battery.

The only glitch that I faced after installing the ROM is that it always froze at the Boot Animation. I had to pull the battery almost 5-6 times and then magically it started to work. Boots within 10 second from the Motorola Logo.

Not sure if the battery pulls were because of something that I did wrong.

Thank you Mister Ypsilon.

Stable ROM for ICS is MIG and i found wajk JB stable for jellybean

Try them out too
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister Ypsilon:
I would suggest you to use CM10 (Jellybean) instead of CM9 (ICS). CM9 became VERY laggy since they included HWA. In CM10 it is MUCH smoother in my opinion, but not yet as perfect as it was in CM7. You should disable HWA for apps which don't really need it (keybord, phone, play store etc). You can also try v6 supercharger which reduces low response times.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicky_:
the readme file specifies the build does not work with defy 2.3.6

Hi guys,

In the first reply the guy mentions the URL to dowload the nightly builds,

http://defy-cm.net/defy_plus-cm7-nightly/

in the readme file in the folder it states as follows::

"These nightly builds are made for Gingerbread kernels on Defy and Defy+

They doesn't include kernels inside to be compatible with both Defy (2.3.4) and Defy+ (2.3.6)"

So does that mean this does not work with kernal of defy 2.3.6. Which I have . I have a defy plus with 2.3.6 DPF 231.

[Acer Iconia A500] Skrilax_CZ:
Hey,

I've looked through the forum and I'm a bit puzzled how is it with the bootloader "lock" on newly purchased models as I was thinking a bit of buying A500.

I read that the bootloader only checks for checksums when booting kernel / recovery (unless set to generate them), so you can put there custom kernel (get rid of Java Android) when you root it, which I read is not a problem even with 3.2.1 .

The thing I'm puzzled about is that I read there was a BL update and some say the BL is locked since that update and others not - so if I decide to buy A500 and there will be 3.2 with the BL update on it, is it locked and requiring signed kernel image or is it still the checksum only thing?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
No problem. I'll try to put it in "laymans" terms.

Manufacturers don't want you mucking with things. It causes more tech support for them, and also a bad image reputation when stupid people screw things up.

So what they do, is change bootloaders, the part that tells the tab, that the os they are loading, is 100% Acer. If it's not, it's just going to give you a silly face.

So we, here in the Acer community, try to find a way around the bootloader. And invent ways to install a operating system other than Acer.

It's an ongoing battle it seems. We find a way around it, Acer changes the rules, so we have to find another way.

The thing is, our dev's are smarter than their devs. Even HTC gave up, and just offer bootloader unlocks. Besides, they take our innovations, and incorporate them into their newer releases.

So the point is, if you buy a 500, or a 501, XDA community will give the means to unlock it. Root, so we say. And people will help you get it running right.

Here at XDA, we have many roms, from plain rooted stock roms, to cooked roms with OC kernels.
[Acer Iconia A500] Skrilax_CZ:
Ah, oops, placed the question incorrectly, I know how the things work around bootloaders and have designed some workarounds. I was rather asking whether new a model of A500 can run custom kernel (don't mean modifications with modules now) or not - but summarizing what you've said: every A500 can run custom kernel, right? Thanks for answering in any case.
[Acer Iconia A500] jonrobertd:
Currently on a new A500 with root and kernel. Manufactured in December 11. whole process took an hour. Hope this helps.
[Acer Iconia A500] nifterific:
IIRC, only 3.2.1 locked the bootloader, so even if your a500 comes with 3.2 you're safe.

That said, even with 3.2.1 and a locked bootloader, there is a downgrade trick that allows you to go from 3.2.1 (or 3.2, or 3.1) to 3.0 and run an app called iconiaroot and acer recovery installer. Iconiaroot is like z4root, VISIONary, gingerbreak, etc and recovery installer installs CWM recovery from within android. After doing all this you can flash any rom or kernel you want.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
YES if your a500 has Stock android 3.2 or above.. you will have to fallow the downgrade rom flashing.Then you can flash any rom of your choice . there are several threads on this forum explaining how to do this..

Do a search for the thread by Timmy Dean.. his method i think has been called the easiest. It flashes your tablet to a rooted 3.21 stock rom thru adb . from your windows computer..

Acer has yet to plug this hole. So i would not take ANY OTA UPDATES. Im looking for ics if ever releases to plug such holes in the boot loader and stop its magic .
