[Motorola Droid 4] omniuni:
I finally took the plunge and installed Safestrap. Once your phone is rooted, you just run an APK installed on your phone. The process feels incredibly clean, and I was completely comfortable that as long as I was careful, nothing bad would happen. This proved to be true.

It really does set up a dual-boot. I spent several hours today playing with CM9, and when I was done, I simply disabled the safe system, and the phone booted right back up into my rooted and debloated stock. The most dangerous part is making sure that you do NOT try to flash over the non-safe system, and, in fact, Safestrap generally won't even let you do that.

Not only did I find that Safestrap worked great, but CM9 works better on the Droid 4 than almost any other device I have played with it on. If they can make sure that the data connection is reliable and get the font camera working, it is practically ready for prime time. Everything else works great. I am now confident that we will see CM9 for the Droid 4 as soon as CM itself is complete and stable, since drivers do not seem to be a problem on this phone. I also suspect we will see some CM7-based roms quite quickly as well.

I am also very glad of the option to always easily revert back to the stock system without losing anything, it will make going to the Verizon store very easy if I ever need to.
[Motorola Droid 4] core2kid:
I also came from a D1, installing ROMs was so easy, I'm a little hesitant on this one especially since a genuine ICS update is on the way. I might wait for that before I try custom ROMs. I use a front camera a lot so CM9 is unfortunately out of question. My battery issue was solved with a calibrate (deleting batterystats) even though it's not supposed to work, I can confirm that it definitely worked for me.
[Motorola Droid 4] omniuni:
Once you toggle on the safe system, installing ROMS is just as easy as it was on the D1. What is nice, though, is you can keep your stock system fully in tact. I actually keep my phone on a simple rooted stock, but when a friend asks about Android ICS, I just toggle on the safe system, and boot it up. When I'm done, I toggle off the safe system, and back to stock. Safestrap is awesome.
[Motorola Droid 4] greekchampion04:
core2kid... this is moto, the official update is gonna take 3-6 months so i would not suggest waiting it out.

i came from a D1 as well and safestrap bugged me out for a while... but once i installed and started using it i really like it. think of it as a dual-boot.

1 is your stock system that you do not f** with... you just leave it so that you have a backup should you f** up your...

2nd system is the one you flash all your ROMs on... no matter what you do to it, the first system is not touched, so you have to try REALLY hard to brick it.
[Motorola Droid 4] core2kid:
Thanks. I'll give it a go. Last question, if I have hardware issues with the phone, is there a way to restore it to factory so I can warranty it? My main concern is my battery dying. I don't want to be stuck with a useless phone because the battery is in built.
[Motorola Droid 4] greekchampion04:
i cant say with 100% certainty, but theres got to be a way.

as for the battery... it will probably die the day after your warranty is up, and by then there will be DIY replacement kits.
[Motorola Droid 4] core2kid:
With my luck, I can see that happening :/
[HTC Inspire 4G] chp:
On the stock Inspire ROMs, it looks like you are blocked from clearing the Market data (Settings>Applications>Market>Clear data). Also, it appears that the Market app is locked to never update past version 2.3.4.

Has anyone figured out how this is done and/or why?

I know you can side-load a newer Market APK, which will then auto-update but I'm curious why it is the way it is.
[HTC Inspire 4G] pazzo02:
That's interesting. I see no reason why the Market would be locked on an old version, especially since Google is now changing everything to Google Play. Here's the apk if you want to do it manually.

[Bravo General] skeevydude:
All the cm roms at http://defy-cm.net have md5 checksums. Try not to download with 3g, the last two roms I downloaded via 3g had errors and the same roms from my PC/wifi worked perfectly.

Also, after the sbf, use the defy SndInit stable for cm setting, then make sure to wipe data, cache and dalvik. I had a few bootloops when I used SndInit latest instead of the cm stable.

Hope this helps and good luck.
[Bravo General] josuearisty:
mmmm, I think this those cm-defy roms dont work properly for us, I say that because of the camera.

You should not speak about these roms, they are for defy and for us, NOW of course.

The camera is working partially for them, well almost complete, but no camera for us yet.
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
I'm aware of that, but they're great if you know what to do.;) I've actually had the best experience ever out of those roms. If you use the cm7 patch I posted earlier, it gives you a working camera. I'm still using Epsy's 20120212 rom and recommend it + patch.

I Rooted an evo that kept having the restart issue with revolutionary. I was able to unroot it, but now the origional rom will not load. everytime i restart the phone it goes to the bootloader screen. I can choose fastboot, recovery , simlock, or restart i believe. I just want to get it to load the original rom. I never put any custom roms or anything on. cus it got stuck so i decided to unroot hoping it would fix but still stuck. Any suggestions?

Request to the Platypus DEV team: please release the platypus egg kernel as a zip so that it can be flashed without having to flash an entire rom. I am currently on kd1 firmware with the bali kernel. Also, if possible, please include the extended power menu with it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
If you want the playtpus egg kernel, pull it from the GO zip. updates/zImage.

The playtpus egg kernel is only compatible with KJ2, so if you're on KD1 it won't help you.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sidekick_fanatic:
zImage is the kernel? what do i do, extract, re-zip, and flash? i need a little more instruction here. i am currently on kj2 with platypus, but had to go through a complicated process to get that.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sidekick_fanatic:
also, how about the extended power menu? where can i get that? stock firmware here, not wanting a custom rom.

A Full nandroid backup is a must before changing ROMs and titanium backup is very useful for saving and restoring your applications

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slab100:
full nandroid backup from recovery incase of any unexpected problems with flashing rom.

titanium (pro) for backing up your data so all your game saves and settings can be restored without the hassle.

The pro version allows you to batch back up all the information in one go, whereas i believe the free version only allows you to back up one app at a time.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] longjohnsteve:
Ive used titanium backup since the beginning, and it is one of the best, if not the best at backing up apps and system data. If you backup system data it might have problems if you are switching roms but other than that everything always works (for me at least) Recently I tried helium which does the same thing but is less complicated and allows downloading right to your computer. It also works great, just another option!

I downloaded a red theme. Is there a way to remove it without wiping?

Wipe cache and dalvik cache and flash the roms zip over itself this will leave your apps settings and other user data intact but return the roms ui to stock

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Only if the theme was a zipthemer theme it makes the undo zip when you create the update zip from the zip themed theme files its easier to just wipe cache and dalvik and reflash the rom instead of building a zip themer theme and the undo and then wiping cache and dalvik and flashing the undo zip it saves you the trouble of making the morph first

is there any ginger rom for G1 with a look and style of ics?, like a sense rom?

i like the look of ics but i'm content with gingerbread. i found a lot of ICS themes for cm7 on the market but installing themes just eating another memory space. so i think it's much better if there is a ginger rom with an ics look already..
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DorianX:
I don't really like gingerbread too much feel laggy compared to froyo... I allways have around 50mb of free ram on froyo vs less than 30mb on gingerbread, anyway if you like gingerbread bananabread have a ICS taste.

When I used Gingerbread I tested all and the best result was EzGingerbread, to have that free ram I removed alot of unnecesary system apks and don't use big ram eater apps like the newer facebook if you use facebook use at most 1.6.4 same on Google Maps use at most 4.7.

I was a CM fan but when I started to use AOSP I really liked, try it! first you will miss CM "goodies" but you get used.

By the way I'm happy on froyo :D I don't miss gingerbread things

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Cleanskinned:
Now that the iPad 3 has been announced, it is only a matter of time before Samsung unveils this year's successor to the Tab 10.1. One of the features I have loved about the 10.1 since I bought it last June is its comfortable ergonomic form factor and understated black bezel.

The faux-metallic backing provides just the right amount of traction for secure handling with my finger tips. Also, the round beveled edge always feels comfortable in my palms unlike the sharp tapered edge of the iPad 2. I also appreciate that Samsung forwent any logo on the bezel, making the screen stand out without any distractions.

While I am excited at the prospect of a higher resolution screen and a much faster processor, I am hopeful that Samsung is able to retain the solid black bezel and form factor of their original design because I really have not felt a more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing tablet than the Tab 10.1.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] hoss_n2:
It is out of topic but ipad 3 is sh#t . Talking about the new tab I think it will have either a black bezel or a metal body like the 7.7 tab samsung stopped producing devices with shiny plastic that easily scratced even out of box
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] yogeshmha:
The only visible diff I noticed in ipad 3 is the retina display
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] wlighter:
Unfortunately the black bezel is here to stay for the moment I'm affraid. There is many limitation i can think of in having no bezel

1. No place to hold on to. Your finger print will be all over the edge of the screen.

2. You dont want to put constant pressure on the screen surface when holding it. A bezel avoid this problem.

3. There need to be a fancy program that distinguish a touch and your hand holding the tablet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] okpc:
Samsung has already announced the next tab, don't you follow the news? its the tab 2 10.1
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xTONEx:
I'm pretty sure the tab 2 is just their way to stop the apple lawsuits... If anything the galaxy note 10.1 would b its next flagship device. But just cause they announced those projects doesn't mean they don't have something else coming....
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] okpc:
What lawsuit? Judges realized that apple didn't 'invented' the rounded corners or flat surface. Tab10.1 was ok in it original form...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xTONEx:
Umm the tab was stopped from being sold in a few places... Some judges over turned rulings and some havnt. And apple is still sueing people! Why do u think they are releasing the same tab all over again?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] redram38:
I have the Samsung logo on the bottom of my tab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dmoney94:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tietherope:
I don't want the speakers on the front like all the new tabs. I think it is ugly.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Cleanskinned:
I agree. The beauty of the original 10.1 is its understated design without any flashy logo on the front or speakers poking out from the sides.

I use my tablet in portrait mode just as often as in landscape. A blank bezel with flush, uniform edges provides you an undistracted view of what you want to be looking at: the screen.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dearmiju:
i love the look of my galaxy tab 10.1 wifi but I saw recent display models at bestbuy with the Samsung logo on front~ it's not the same;I hope the new tab is without the logo.

What color is the new Samsung logo? If there has to be a logo, I would prefer a subtle dark gray.

Sharing core modification made by Sergey1369 from 4pda.ru.

Translate of original post from 4pda:

And few bonuses:

Huexx's diana core from Zeus 4.0.2 with dim LED lights and g-recovery.

Modded stock core with no dim LED lights (like stock 20x)

Modded stock core without LED light (allways off)

Install it with CWM.

All credits to Sergey1369 and Huexx! I just reposted it;)

Modded Diana core with dim lights and g recovery

[LG Optimus Black] Zaihanzainal:
Yah I 2nd that the description is abit vague but went ahead and flashed the first one anyway lol

For the first link its basically that the four buttons lights don't switch off but gets dimmed like with froyo

So I'm guessing the third link leaves the lights on without the slight dim

I'm still wondering what I have to flash to get the g button to go to recovery

Awesome job. I'm not able to test this patch atm but I've got an idea/thought. Since the leds work now, does the LG Notifications App work too?

(Maybe I'm completely wrong but it's a long shot worth to try)
[LG Optimus Black] tantrums:
Nice share. :)
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
That's the question, I think that LG notifications should work right now...

The bad part of this is that all the feature are inside the same binary, g-recovery... that means that g-recovery binary actually is g-recovery+deactivateLGDVFS+light dim, etc... and IMHO I would prefer to take this things separately...

Regards.
[LG Optimus Black] Zaihanzainal:
I'm on 20n and so far no problems :)
[LG Optimus Black] juqe:
Guys, it is not my stuff, I'll try to know some details.

All I know is that core was compiled from the sources shared by LG.

About g recovery Sergey says:

g-recovery as opposed to eRecovery is a binary embedded in the kernel (initrd),

so should work even if the partition /system can not be open
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
Original link please! ;)
[LG Optimus Black] juqe:
added in the 1st post
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
Well, g-recovery is a binary that works very well, it's better that e-recovery and faster.

Leds behaviour and DVFS thing is related to kernel itself... so that forces us to use that kernel to get the leds working like we want...

The best would be to know the sources of this.

Regards.

My girlfriend has a verizon Droid incredible 2 and her phone froze and was stuck at the white HTC screen, after booting into HBOOT and going to recovery, no matter how much I tried wiping the drive/dalvik, etc, it will not flash a rom. It will abort install and gives errors everytime it boots into it> I'm wondering if there is a download mode or a oneclick like the Captivate or Skyrocket (my phone)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Amphibliam:
What errors does it give when you boot into recovery? If they are something like "E: failed to mount System" or if it failed to mount data, that means the memory partitions are fried and it's a brick. If it doesn't say that (or failed to mount data) then, you're probably OK.

I can boot into HBOOT as well.

It says along the lines of

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
