I looked in android developement (rooting, FAQ,..etc) thread and was sure I was on the right track until it said that "easy root for linyx and mac" and "super 1 Click" would not work for 2.3.3. Now I am confused as to where to start. I read that you should download Clockwork mod and it said download a gingerbread rom, but I am confused because I thought the version 2.3.3 that I have is in fact gingerbread. Isn't there an easy tutorial for 2.3.3 users? Right now my phone is just unlocked and that's it. Can someone point me in the right direction? I don't know what all the rooting terms mean so please be clear. Thanks

Ok, I appreciate the response however, I have questions:

1) I don't get it....the second link you posted says you don't need to use Rom Manager but also suggests you go read the first link you posted which says you need to use Rom Manager. These directions are all over the place.

2) Will all of this rooting be taking place on my PC...I have windows XP

3) It says install Rom Manager to your O/S. What is an O/S and what is Rom Manager.

It would be nice if all of these links and directions were on one page and didn't bring you to more links that bring you to more links that bring you to more directions that bring you to more links.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] theking_13:
1) No it doesn't, dont use ROM manager at all. What I think you're confusing it with is Clockwork Recovery, thats what's being flashed from your computer so you can change into better roms.

2) Yes, you use the one click root and you'll see your phone running code and then it'll be done, and you use Clockwork Recovery to flash roms.

3) Wrong for both, and look up what an OS is, some questions are so simple that you should use Google instead. Its an Operating System, and if you dont know what that is, Google is your friend.

Before i attempt this let me just say that i found a gingerbreak youtube video which is called(gingerbreak one click ROOT ANY Gingerbread 2.3.3 Android device) that seems a lot simpler. You simply download an app and it does the rest for you. Have you heard of this? Id like to do it this way so i dont screw anything up but will i be getting the same benefits?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GTWalling:
If what we posted is to complicated then rooting is not for you. Just Saying.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
agreed, gingerbreak might do the trick but regardless if you do not use the method "King" posted then you are gonna regret it all, and be very frustrated and freak out and make crazy posts! You need to flash ClockWork Recovery in order to switch roms everything else is not proper and only a temporary work around! here is a step by step video just watch it all the way through put the files in a place that easy for you to figure out and then do the process. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUT5JcnJHgk
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TheKid1:
Ok so let me get this straight. Im gonna do what youve suggested.

1)So im basically downloading two things to my computer : (1 click root) and after that, (clockwork mod)? Is that what you giys are saying?

2)will windows xp work to do this?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
yes I still use Windows XP.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TheKid1:
ok I've downloaded the file and extracted the the APX and NVFlash folders. I see both folders chilling there. At this point I'm confused because the directions from that second link you gave me says to "install the APX windows driver from the APX folder. Again I have the APX folder and the NVFlash folders in plain siight and when I click on the APX folder, none of the files in there start doing anything....what am I looking for in the APX folder? I see a setup file labeled "NVIDIA" but when I right click it and click install, nothing happens.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rtotheichie:
Trust me, follow the instructions to flash ClockworkMod Recovery, etc... and you won't ever look back. An hour or two or careful research and following directions will lead to a (phone's) lifetime of enjoyment
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
the files aren't gonna magically open them selves and start doing everything for you lol, read the directions, or watch the video I linked...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TheKid1:
I appreciate all the help, but I am following the directions in order from the second link that you've posted. It says to install the apx driver first. So are you telling me to skip all the APX stuff and go right to CWM Recovery? Remember, I have XP and these directions are for others I think.

I've done both. I am stuck on the part of the directions where I've mentioned. Can you help or not?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GTWalling:
From one of the links already posted.

(Windows x86 and x64 O/S Drivers):

****If you are running VmWare kill it.****

1 Remove the battery.

2 Plug in your USB cable to your PC.

3 Hold Volume Up and Volume Down at the same time keeping them held down.

4 Plug in the USB cable to your phone. (Keep the buttons held until Windows detects a new APX device.)

5 Open Device Manager in Windows and you should see "APX Device" listed with an error icon.

6 Right click on the APX device.

7 Select 'Update driver software'.

8 Select 'Browse my computer...'.

9 Select 'Let me pick...'.

10 Select 'Have disk'.

11 Browse to directory you extracted the *driver* software to: One-Click-G2x-recovery-flasher-09-23\APX.

12 Accept any warnings, including the big red alert (you may need to disable UAC).

13 Now in Device Manager under 'USB Controllers' you should have an 'NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for mobile devices'.

14 If not, uninstall the driver, reboot, rinse and repeat.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TheKid1:
Yes thank you. This is where I'm stuck because right above all these directions it say, "Install APX driver from APX folder" not sure how to do this before I begin all these directions. How do I open device manager on Windows XP on step 5?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TheKid1:
Ok I'm done with those directions now. Thank you. Now I'm stuck on ClockModRecovery.

Flash ClockworkMod Recovery

1.Remove the battery.

2.Goto NvFlash directory and Double Click "OneClickRecoveryFlasher.exe".

3.Make sure the USB cable is unplugged from your phone.

4.Hold Volume Up and Volume Down at the same time keeping them held down. (Keep them held until you see the "S/W Upgrade" screen on your phone after you complete step7!).

5.Plug in the USB cable to your phone.

6.Click the "Flash CWM" button of your choosing. If you own a External SD card I suggest to choose version 5.0.2.0. This gives you Internal and External SD Support for ROM flashing but has External SD Nandroid Backup Support Only! If you do not own a External SD Card choose version 4.0.1.5 what has full Internal SD support for flashing ROMS and Nandroid backup.

7.You should see it send a bunch of files to the device and the phone screen should say "S/W Upgrade - Please wait while upgrading...". Once the files are sent and the program is finished running in the command window, you can just pull the USB cord while it still says "S/W Upgrade - Please wait while upgrading...".

8.Put the battery back in and you can now boot into Recovery. (see below..)

I'm stuck on number 2. I'm looking at the 2 folders again: "APX" and "NVFlash". I clicked into NVFLASH and clicked "OneClickRecoveryFlasher.exe". It says, "the application failed to initialize properly". Click OK to terminate the application".

Make sure you've disabled antivirus because some of them will interfere. If it still won't work, try downloading it again and reinstalling...it might be a bad install

[Kindle Fire General] BIGboy!:
Hi again everyone,

It seems I'm still having issues with my Kindle Fire. Whenever I try to boot into recovery mode (ie, from KFU or by pressing the power buttons when required for things like TWRP) it the device simply restarts at the point when it should actually change into recovery mode. This is preventing me from flashing a new rom onto it as I don't know how else to do it (I'm sure I can by other means). Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

I am wondering whether the Chinese i889 model, which is the 3G CDMA version for China Telecom, would be compatible with the ROMs for the N7000?

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] tim9510:
Hello members of the XDA-forum,

I have a question about my dualboot Android and Windows Phone 7.5 on my HTC HD2. My Windows Phone 7.5 is on my NAND, the Android 4.0.3 is on my Sd-Card.

I'm never using Android anymore on my device. So I would like to delete it from my micro SD so I have more space for the Windows software to instal applications etc. on. I'm searching for a solution to resize the partition on the Micro SD to make the available space bigger, without losing any WindowsPhonedata if that's possible. Does anyone have an idea how I can do that?

Can somebody help me?

Thank you so much!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dxdy:
1. use WPDM to create full backup of WP7 or only make apps data backup (look for tutorial in my signature)

2. make hard reset (all data and partition be deleted)

3. restore backup

[Nook Color General] avi!:
Guys my Nook Color does not play videos flawlessly. I find no audio - video proper sync. Sometimes it slows down. How to solve this issue ?

Currently I am using Mirage 7.2 [03042012 build]

I have no idea how to overclock, so I assume I am using at stock speed. Does overclocking help this issue ?

Does my nook HWA enabled ? How to check ?

Which is best media player ? something like VLC / GOM as for PC ?

Here are the two videos I'd like my Nook Color play flawlessly :

Video 1 : http://npteldownloads.iitm.ac.in/softlinks_mp4/106102064/lec06.mp4 [source]

Video 2 : https://d19vezwu8eufl6.cloudfront.net/algo1/recoded_videos/[420f432a] about.mp4 [source]

This are free educational videos & I am not pirating.
[Nook Color General] jgaf:
I just ran the 11mb file you posted and it ran flawlessly. I suggest you use Mobo player for playing video files. My NC is overclocked, set on conservative from 800mhz to 1200mhz. I suggest you check out the post from mr72 in General Discussion about his setup, you don't have to do the first steps about repartitioning. Just do the last few steps about battery and performance improvements. Right now im posting from my nook so its a bit cumbersome to get the links for you. Once I get on my laptop ill edit the post.

Edit: Ok go into mr72's guide and follow the steps from 17 - 19, this should help with your performance.
[Nook Color General] avi!:
Thank you very much, I will look into it :)

Is overclocked needed OR it can play at 800 Mhz ?
[Nook Color General] bobtidey:
I would definitely overclock. It is very safe and easy and gives a significant performance boost in all areas. 1200MHz seems fine for every Nook C, some push it to 1300MHz but that can actually start to slow some graphics performance measures down. You won't significantly hit battery performance as the Governor slows the clock speed down when its not needed.

Just get one of the apps from the market like antutu CPU Master pro and set it up.
[Nook Color General] avi!:
Just an app from Market can OC it ? no other flashing any zip file / kernel etc needed ?
[Nook Color General] jgaf:
If you are using Mirage it already comes with overclocked kernel capabilities, just follow the instructions in mr72's guide (the link I gave you earlier).

Or just go into Settings>CyanogenMod Settings>Performance>CPU Settings:

Min CPU: 300mhz

Max CPU: 1200mhz

and voila!

But I highly recommend that you take a look into mr72's guide for undervolting these specific steppings, so you get better battery life.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mizter:
I've used it for awhile. It's honestly not that great because it cuts off all connections that make your phone a 'smart'phone. In other words your phone becomes neutered. I suppose it wouldn't be an issue if you're a light user but I use my phone quite a bit so constantly having to reconnect to 3G/Wi-Fi drained more battery than it saved.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyvyp:
I know this question has been asked really lots of times, but I didn't seem to find cases similar to mine.

there doesn't seem to be any wakelock (except 2 which is incredibly short) and it was in deep sleep mode all the time. but yet, it drains almost 5% per hour which i find is really too much...

I've tried lots of firmware (litening, wamanlite, turkbey, stock, ICS) and removed all the unnecessary bloatware to reduce wakelocks to a state as shown in attachment. but still, they do not have any results, still get less than 1 day life without any usage at all...

Could this be hardware problem? I find it gets hot really fast even when i'm just facebooking.

Or is there anything else can i try to do? this device really started to disappoint me ever since the battery life looks like this.

any help will be greatly appreciated.

Try Hydrogen-ICS latest version, it seems to be "the rom" today :)

Battery life is very good and its overall a stable system.

Make sure to "Fix Permission" after first start, reboot recovery and do it.

Also sometimes "to much junk" in your SD card can cause battery drain, copy your files and format the SD card, you might see some diffrence. (i did)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElenaPower:
You flashed different ROMs the last days? First thing is you should only flash with full battery and after flashing it needs some time (three full battery cycles e.g.) untill the battery works fine for the ROM.

And you may recallibrate your battery. Turn the mobile off and load the battery to full. Then go to CWM and reset your batterystats. Now unload till the mobile goes of and reload to full with mobile off. If you doe this for e.g. 3 times the battery should be recalibrated.

I must say Omegas ICS + Speedmod or Siyahs Kernel. Best ever. Or checkout Paradoxxxs rom very stable but for me not so good xD
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyvyp:
yea i know right...i'll try Hydrogen ICS as they everyone recommended and see how it goes first.

what is "neak"? sorry i am still newbie

bro, 20 hours is with 99% deep sleep is seriously wrong. better battery stats cant tell me nothing, since i have no wakelocks or whatever, and all those battery savers apps, they spent more battery than they can save. when those screenshot is taken, i can tell you for sure, bluetooth, gps, 3g, wifi, auto sync etc everything was turned off. even brightness is 10% (which is even lower than auto brightness settings). anyway thanks for the reply

nope, i always try at least 5-6 battery cycles after flashing to see the real graph. and i've read in this forum somewhere, calibrating battery by deleting batterystats is useless for this phone.

speedmod is a kernel like siyah rite? i've use siyah before, but it doesn't seem like much help. nonetheless, will try them ^^

thanks for all the replies and recommendation, will try different rom & update again (probably in 4-5 days for trying 2 roms :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kangi74:
I have exactly same problem. On GB over night(7 hours), battery consumption was around 9%. On ICS more than 20%, but nobody touch phone. I try few roms: wanamlite, omega, bezke, pure. Now i have hydrogen. Better battery stats shows nothing special. Only thing what i can think is wi-fi. if i turn off seams to be better, not that dramatic, but anyway not that good like on GB.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazroui:
strange...

let me ask this... what does the yellow color in the phone signal mean? anybody got any clue?

shouldn't it be green/gray ?

in my phone whenever i have green/gray in the battery view the bar hardly goes down on idle but i see a big drain compared to green/gray when it becomes yellow even in idle

let me post a pic to clarify...

i was complaining about sudden batt drop on cm9 ics, i know its 2 diff roms but still the yellow bar got my attention in both pics...

just searched google and came up with red= no signal, yellow=very bad signal to no signal, green = good signal/full

bad signal makes the phone look for the signal in a bad way using a lot of the battery...

guess i found out why my batt suddenly dropped so bad compared to the rest of the bar...

id suggest flashing a couple of modems and testing how good of a signal u get with each and sticking with the one that works for u, if its a weak signal from the provider then find a better provider that covers ur place with better reception...

start from there and then if batt life is still bad search search and search... best of luck with ur phone...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kangi74:
@mazroui

in those 7 hours your phone should lost 9 - 10% of battery, but not more than 20 unused, what is process causing that usage?

for me: i charged phone before sleep, when wake up after 7h i had 20% left.

Android OS - 92% , rest for cell standby, phone idle and screen. Wi-fi was setup to sleep when screen is off. Better batery stats show that wi-fi was on for almost whole time
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thracemerin:
Cell Standby and Phone Idle using that much of your power means that the signal in your area is horrible and the phone is struggling to maintain a decent connection with the towers, this can drain a tremendous amount of battery depending on how bad the signal really is, the yellow bar means it's not optimal but there is a large degree of variation between the top end and bottom end of the yellow bar spectrum. Try a different modem or move your phone to an area with better reception and see if you still get this sort of drain.

Android OS is misreported by practically every Kernel because for some reason Samsung accidentally made Screen On add to the Android OS bar, so your Android OS usage is actually AOS + Screen On, for the most part high AOS usage can be ignored as a source of drain using the phone info battery screen, I would look elsewhere for the problem. Sometimes rogue apps hide their wake locks in another wake lock, for instance if you have facebook or many of the IM programs on your system, they poll their servers a lot causing a kernel wake lock called 'svnet dormancy' (in gb) or 'multipdp' (in ics) this causes a lock of 5s to ensure proper packet transfer, if your app is requesting packets every 4 seconds, then its essentially a permanent wake lock but may not be reported as the app being the source.

IF yellow means poor signals then strangely iam getting yellow line but the signal bar shows full signals on home screen.
