[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
With ICS taking off (thanks to renowned members like roman, neobuddy, brick'd, and many more) ALOT of roms have been, and are going to continue to be, released.

I realize that we have complained for while about the development section being so quiet (understandably so), but we are on the verge of seeing quite the opposite.

This is great news!! but with this type of evolution comes many roms, kangs, ports, concepts, etc. its also going to bring out the noobs, flash-o-holics, and lesser experienced members. we are going to start seeing maaaany ics threads in development section, but people are going to ask: well, how is X different from Y???

my friendly suggestion to devs, kangers, porters is this: when posting a release thread, it would be doing a service to the forum, and yourself, to cite exactly what sets your release apart. whether its something major like source, or something minor like a theme - it will save users a lot of confusion, and it will save you the headache of your thread being cluttered with unhelpful questions and waste posts.

i just remember during the Froyo days, the dev section was loaded with virtually identical roms, with people releasing a "new build" that simply had framework edits, build.prop tweaks, and/or different apps. this is fine, i thought about releasing a themed/tweaked build myself at one point in time - but you have to explain it that way, otherwise it sucks for people flashing it hoping to get an all-around new rom experience.
[Vibrant General] mikka06:
so true...what about some Blue Myst for Ics? Still one of the best theme for Froyo...
[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
My theming ambition has dropped drastically, as people have probably noticed. i think it has something to do with the fact that, quite frankly, im bored with the Vibrant.

I think it also has something to do with the fact that im STILL running Froyo. I was running CM7 stable for a while but i ran into this fatal bug that i could not figure out, and could not find a fix for, so i had to revert.

I only theme something that i know im going to be using for a while, and then i share my stuff with the forum. some might call it selfish, but my time is limited:rolleyes: I was on the VERGE of making a theme for CM7 before i ran into that wall.

As far as ICS goes, its far too buggy for me right now, but there is SO much potential. every day there are steps made. im so OCD with my phone that it has to be close to perfect for me to consider using something as my everyday rom. ive ran most of the ICS roms out there, and i would definitely consider a theming project once they are stable.
[Vibrant General] Woody:
+1 on every part of this statement as I am the exact same way. I am hyper sensitive to my phone too. Maybe that is not such a bad thing though. Has definately led me to solve some of the issues out there too.

Was wanting to start theming Deranged9 and the it basically fell off the map while still waiting for the final to drop.

I may get flamed for this but I can't stand the ICS Blue. Not sure what I would want but the blue is not my favorite by any means. Even Generic McPlain grey would be better than the blue. But that is just me.
[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
im a big blue fan, but ICS is TOO blue...im more of a fan of the cyan-ish blue.

yah every ics rom out has its deal-breaking bug for me. the biggest one is the /datadata issue (low storage space). i run a lot of apps, and even if i could live without some, i like knowing that the space is there if i need it. i know zenwich doesnt use /datadata, but that leads to some really yucky lag.

like i said, very good progress is being made, but its not up to my PERSONAL standards yet. but i try as best i can to keep my standards to myself, becase they are unfairly high for our device at this point, and these devs work their asses off.
[Vibrant General] mrrobc97:
I agree too. Very good point. I too came to a stop with messing with my Vibrant. I look at ICS and I know if I flash that on my phone I'm going to end up editing the framework-res to exactly how I have it now. For me it makes no sense to mess with my phone the way it is. I'm just waiting to the price to drop on the SGSII so my wife and I could upgrade and then I'll start messing with those.

....and YES I am a BLUE lover....and YES I did hit the THX button :D.
[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
im proud to be the OP of the biggest flame thread in vibrant forum history...:rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Vibrant General] Woody:
Sorry I derailed your thread (actually it was mikka06 's fault) with my non-sensical mumblings that I don't like ICS's Blue.

I love blue. I usually pick out all the blue M&M's and Fruit Loops and eat them first. And even on St. Patrick's day, I don't dye my beer green, its blue or nothing. I just don't like the ICS Blue.
[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
you didnt derail! we are conversing.

Woodrube, i think you are the ideal member on this forum. you help out, dont expect anything, not in anyones face, and youre willing to learn things for yourself.

i would find it tough to criticize you, even if you did derail my thread, which you didnt
[Vibrant General] Woody:
I appreciate this very much. I remember when I first registered with XDA and had no idea what I was doing. Couple of people took me in and showed me a few things and it was all basically trial and error.

Fast forward to when I came to the Vibrant forums and it was much different than it is now. Too many attitudes and too many senses of entitlement. As much as it sucked, I understood why CM left. Now most of those problematics have gone on to the SGSII or beyond and we have a new crop of people here.

Like it much better now.

BLUE? what in the name of god!

BLUE is the color of the shirt i'm wearing.

BLUE is on our(my) countries FLAG(usa)

BLUE is my favorite color.

HOW DARE YOU NOT LIKE BLUE!

I shall call the FBI and report you immediately.

In other news, I also like Green.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aldhibah:
OK, this only happens when you press the second system options button within the Nook Color Tools App which is installed along with ManualNooter. Solution, don't press that button.

"I have a Nook Color on which I was running Manual Nooter which was deleted when B&N unceremoniously updated me to version 1.4.1 of their Android OS.

Last night I updated to ManualNooter 5.02.19 on my device which is now running version 1.4.1 and on which I was registered with B&N. I also installed the Dalgrin OC Kernel at that time.

The update went swimmingly. The Zeam Launcher interface was easily set to my new home, I had access to all of my B&N content, i had access to the Android Marketplace and installed the Dolphin Browser along with a couple of other applications.

After about two hours of operation the Nook gave me a warning screen, "Unauthorized Authorization, System Rebooting". During the reboot sequence it decided to delete all the data thereby removing my installation of the ManualNooter as well as my registration with B&N. I am back to a more a less clean install with a bunch of random extra files.

Has anyone else experienced this problem from the Nook Color. A couple of searches hasn't yielded an answer and I am loathe to go through the installation process again if B&N will simply delete the installation and put it back into a stock install."

Thanks for any assistance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] deeken:
Now that my phone is rooted I want to know what AT&T junkware is safe to delete? I have Titanium Backup (not the Pro version) and it only allows me to delete stuff. I would like to get rid of the AT&T Navigator and anything else AT&T related but I don't want to get rid of anything that could cause conflicts.

Any tips would be appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] foxbat121:
If you remove any bloatware, you may not be able to apply any future OTA updates from AT&T. Keep that in mind.

The first one in my mind is Tethering Manager. With this removed, you will be able to tethering without paying for tethering plan. But keep in mind, AT&T can still catch you tethering.

The ones I'd keep are:

AT&T Hotspots --> this allows you to get free wi-fi access from AT&T wi-fi hotspots (it checks you account to make sure you are qualified with a Smartphone data plan).

Swype -> Best Android keyboard IMO.

AllShare-> DLNA client. Very useful for streaming from PCs.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] camaroz28:
I actually removed AT&T Hotspots because it constantly runs in the background and it's a waste of battery to me. Even if you FC it, it comes back after a little while. Also I've only been one place where there was an AT&T hotspot and it was slower than 3G, so that was pretty much useless :rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] foxbat121:
Things running at background all the time. It doesn't mean they waste battery. This app never showed up in my top battery usage chart.

3G in my area is pretty slow (100k to 800k). So the wi-fi hotspot sometimes is useful.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] s1mpd1ddy:
I pretty much froze everything on this list that can be removed rather then removing it.

Im pretty sure it works the same way... that way if you make a mistake uninstalling something -- you don't have to re-flash a stock rom

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tf144:
I rooted my NT two days ago using Albert's SD card method (thanks!), and thought I had for sure used NT Hidden Settings to block OTA. This morning I saw that the update had been applied, and a few things on my NT are now broken.

Now I cannot access the market.

Other gapps are broken now too including Talk, Currents, and gmail.

Can I just follow the steps to make an SD card and re-apply root, or do I need to do a wipe or reset first?

What are my options?

Thanks everyone!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] pepi4:
I had this happen to me on 1.4.0 I just started all over and MADE sure I seen the 9.9.9 :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tf144:
So I would just re-flash my SD-card with CWM, boot into CWM, wipe, and start over again? I'm fine with starting over, I just want to make sure I don't mess anything up during the reset process!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
yes, that is what you have to do

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bdeweese:
FWIW, If you re-root with Albert's SD Card Method (4.50), blocking future ota updates is a simple one click process (it's now an option in NT Settings). Or, just sideload the latest NT Settings (released on 2/15) and you're good to go.

Bob
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tf144:
back up and running

Ok, so I wiped and re-rooted and now everything's just about back to normal. I've tried the built-in OTA block a few times, but my version number still says 1.4.2. Maybe it's like the unknown sources setting and I have to reboot or wait awhile...

I'll just make sure to make some backups this time. Good news is albert's method still works on 1.4.2, but he knew that already I guess.

I'll be back if anything goes wrong, but thanks everyone!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] darkquota:
I purposefully updated mine to 1.4.2 (from 1.4.1 rooted) and was able to use brianf21's bootable root sd card successfully without having to wipe anything.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GabrialDestruir:
1.4.2 is completely rootable, I was able to use CWM with a flash zip to get it all on there. I'm hoping to release my work this weekend, I'm just waiting for some files that should allow it to work for 8GB devices too.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Dranakin:
He method and files till work for 1.4.2? Great, I just bought my NT the other day.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] fyrmd:
I just got my new NT in the mail. Should I use the sd card method over the system it has, or should I go back to 1.4.0 and root that. My wifes NT is 9.9.9 and works well. Also, I don't have a sd card yet, is there anyway to root my new tablet without going to the store? (looks like the tablet shipped with 1.4.1)

Thanks
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Tel864:
You could just order an n2a card and be done with it. No rooting and you'll have an Android tablet when the n2a card arrives.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Know-Fear:
Or you could avoid n2a and all of their schemes. Everything they offer is available for free and they are truly assholes for selling it. I don't give a **** it you are "just selling the sdcard" They are a **** company making profit from the folks that put in all the effort.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] fyrmd:
I rooted my wife's Nook and my phone, so I should be able to complete root without buying someone's card, just wondering if I should go back to 1.4.0 or root 1.4.1.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nba1341:
root 1.4.1 and block ota updates its extremely easy
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] darkquota:
Rooting via the SD card methods available works on any firmware released. Rooting 1.4.2 gives you the latest bug fixes from B&N though.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GabrialDestruir:
I'd just use one of the root cards and root 1.4.2
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lessworkmoreplay:
Updated to 1.4.2 lost my market

I rooted my nt when it had 1.4.1 on it, then two day's ago the update came out, I never saw 9.9.9 on my os info, My nook is still rooted I think anyway, no market and gmail. But I can still install apk's from my sd card.

What should I do to get my market working? And also make sure I can block OTA updates? Thank You.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GabrialDestruir:
I personally think blocking OTAs is a little silly considering how easy this device is becoming to root. However to get Market back and stuff all you have to do is take one of the sd root methods and use that, this will restore the files to /system that got removed by the OTA
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
Checkit

OTA block by Indirect's 9.9.9 Titanium Patch and CWM recovery flash

I believe that 9.9.9 patch prevents the file from every being downloaded and I believe the custom recovery prevents the File from ever installing. Any OTA that comes down from Barnes and Noble Requires STOCK recovery to install.

I also prove my Root SD cards will Root the 1.4.2 updated 16gb Nook Tablet!

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lessworkmoreplay:
when powering back on nook it says reset to factory

{So I have used your method before but now when I go to reboot after making a root card all it says is would you like to restore to factory settings, I have also tired using the usb to boot up when the others failed. Now I am stuck with a stock nook with 1.4.2. Am I missing something?}

So after downloading 4.6 everything worked perfect, and got the 9.9.9

Thanks for the hard work.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] evolute8:
I used your SD_ROOT_NT16gbV4_6 method yesterday on my 1.4.2 NT 16gb

Does this mean that i have successfully blocked OTA?

Do I still need to patch to 9.9.9?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rcHumanz:
Just need to confirm. Will 1.4.2 break root? My nook is still on rooted 1.4.1. Just want to prepare myself for having to root again.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] uglybeast:
I used Albert method, and can go thru all steps.

Just one problem, after finish, I reboot NT, and got error message about NRRooter. Checking NT version is still 1.4.2.

I tried 3 times, but same result. What do I missed?

Thanks
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Twin119:
New NT got auto update to 1.4.2

I just got my NT less than two weeks ago, and noticed that an automatic update had been applied by BN with no notice or permission requested. So it doesn't matter what they originally shipped it with, as that will soon change.

I am looking into rooting it, and think I will go with the SD card method. Does it require a separate SD card to use just for this? Glad to hear it works well with 1.4.2.

Hello xda members ;) Im noob here, so i wanted to ask something. Is here some chances to make some rom with real sense 2.1?

It would be really great, Im sure that many people would love it :PP

Try yourself, take any Sense ROM from other armv6 device (for example HTC Wildfire S), use boot.img/other libs from CM7 and it should work.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] shader868:
yea i also think about that ;) but i think when developers would really want to do this, they would do this ;D as you can see, we have great developers who are porting miui to our galaxy, and everyone was saying ,, miui won't be able for galaxy ace" and boom :D and we have cm9, not offical, but we have ;) so why we can't have sense ? ^^
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] LewisGauss:
Sense uses a lot of resources. It makes our phone slower.

Correct me if I were wrong.

Hello! Ihave tried interop unlock for Nokia. All work, but I can not install apps. It shows me 0x81030119 error at the end of installation. Can I delete interop unlock? Please help me and answer.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
You mean the test app that was never officially released and was pulled from the IU thread with an explanation that it doesn't work? Because, so far as I know (and I follow this pretty closely), there *is* no interop-unlock app released for Nokia. It's been pretty clearly explained that it doesn't work, and why.

As for whether you can un-install it, go ahead. You'll need to remove and re-install the connection manager app before it will work correctly again, though.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunnystorms:
I rooted my new Sidekick 4G a few weeks ago and became obsessed with the amazing apps they had out for rooted Androids (DroidSheep, All the awesome apps that let you change settings that Android wouldn't normally let you, etc).

So last night I downloaded "ROM Toolbox Pro" onto my phone and started to mess around with the settings. Being kind of a noob when it comes to the Android OS (and being extremely tired probably helped a little bit too), I started playing around in the app and looking at what options it had. I saw that you can change the battery icon, so I installed one and a pop-up came up and I selected reboot and then it started to reboot as it normally would, splash screen, etc. but as soon as the boot animation started the phone just started vibrating weirdly. There was one 1 second vibrate, then 3 very quick ones one after another. This kept repeating till I got a blank screen and I can't do anything from there.

Tried taking out battery and putting it back in but that didn't do anything. I decided to leave it overnight and see what happens, but got same result when I tried turning it on this morning.

Any help at all would be very greatly appreciated!

It's a T-Mobile Sidekick 4G running 2.2 Froyo, and it's rooted (obviously).

Thank you in advance guys!

i will go slow for now because my board exams will start on 15 march and will end on 21st march till then i will not be able to give too much time to this project.

But after that i will go with full speed

But whatever happens i will not drop the project like other developers .

I will keep going till we succeed :D

But I will Need Help From You Guys

So please help in any way you can

even a bit of help is highly appreciated :)

Sooo Lets Start!!

Yes i own a galaxy Y i can brick it as many times as i want! :P

Then i will flash galaxy mini's cyanogen mod on galaxy Y then we will see what changes to made in it

But 1st priority is kernel.
