[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
because when you root your phone, it does a lot of alterations and depending on what you do with root access (such as... put something in /system/ etc etc) there are a lot of variables. This may affect future OTAs, and if you do accept them and you did those altercations then your phone will not brick but there will be problems booting up/applying it etc etc.

So in the end, you might as well take things into your own hand and flash. If you're going to root, do it the WHOLE way. Not go half in, and half out. That's just my opinion.

And sigh, another thread about what ROM to choose from. Look at the dev section and look at all the ROMs and depending on the comments + features (OP post) have to offer. Select your choice there. The most popular combo is AOKP with Franco Kernel.

And if someone is new, I'd leave their phone stock. Otherwise, you'll be holding their hands and asking you questions on how to do things. A rooted phone is that person's responsibility.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Are you trying to insist your brother flash? Maybe he is quite content with stock and knows it is stable and root just gives the extra privileges he wants. I am running stock and almost pure kernel rooted and very happy.

let it be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
If he doesn't see the need for it, then he shouldn't put a ROM on the phone. Don't push him to do it. He's a smart guy, let him make his own decisions. The worst thing you can do is force him to use a custom ROM when he doesn't want to, and have him regret it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msedek:
Im too a software developer and a electronics engineer, and i was a stock lover until i tried AOKP Milestone, i would never go back to stock, the feature rich/stabilty/power saving/customization of this rom its just godly.. He wont ever know what are the ICS's real calabilities until he try out whats there.. He can always go back to pure stock.. So i dont see the point on non flashing and testing roms..

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
He could always stay stock and sit at the "my phone always works" table :p .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Such a simple question. Because it adds tons of features and functions. You can't really make a judgement saying you're fine stock if you don't know the other side of the question what the other roms offer. Only when you try both can you say yes or no you're happy with or without stock.

My personal opinion, the roms on this phone offer god like amount of features worth using.

Sorry for derail, but have a question.

I am running CleanROM ICS, and flashed Anthrax kernel. Phone won't go past HTC screen. Flashed previous version of Anthrax, and now phone won't charge even when power is off. Tried different chargers, same thing.

What can I do?

Followup: With 4% battery left, did a nandroid restore to old MeanROM and charging works.
[HTC EVO 3D] evo3djay:
I appreciate your input but have you stop too think that I have done a search but cant find a link or thread for the kernel.
[HTC EVO 3D] catbert77:
I think Chad meant the kernel that came with the release you installed--it'll be in the ROM zip file itself. Use FlashImageGUI to extract it, or dig through the zip file to find the boot.img file and flash it yourself (with adb commands.)

Hi

I have a SGS i9000 , still not rooted or flashed . I also heared that it might brick my phone, so I would like if someone gives me the best rooting tutorial which worked for him

I'm sorry if this topic allready exists, but i'm so scared x)

thx for reading​
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trancelated:
first and foremost, backup all data you have on your phone.

then try to understand the consequences that may occur after you root your phone (your warrany might be voided)

watch this video to learn how to root: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55zXmrMFXkU

or learn from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=739300

also if anything bad happens during rooting and your phone gets bricked. don't worry. just keep calm and come back to the thread. you can review a bricked sgs with ease.

happy rooting!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r11pp3r:
I felt the same way dude...what if i bricked my lovely new sgs?!? But one day i came to this site, see the dark knight rom and just thought fcuk it im goin for it. Rooting and flashing roms takes litterally a few minutes. As long as you follow all instructions exactly, you cant go wrong.

They put the disclaimer in the posts about possible damage but thats only so nobody can blame them. Those few sentences are enough to scare you (like it scared me) into not attempting it but i guarentee you, after your first flash that doubt is all gone and you wont be able to stop modding :)

I can link you to the exact post i used on my first ever flash if you want....Good luck.

NEW: WP7 Root Tools SDK 1.1 for developers

Apps that make use of this SDK will need to get privileged access by WP7 Root Tools or you need a Full Unlocked ROM. With this SDK I hope to give the Windows Phone homebrew community a boost. I encourage all developers to download the SDK and experiment with it.

Changes in version 1.1:

FIX: A bug in registry access

FIX: The documentation was improved to reflect changes from the version 1.0 release

Changes in version 1.0:

FIX: Serveral bug-fixes in the FileStream class

FIX: Renamed "RegistryHyve" to "RegistryHive". This was a typo. This is a breaking change! Rename this in your existing code!

NEW: void Environment.WindowsRestart()

NEW: void Environment.WindowsShutdown()

NEW: void Environment.WindowsSleep()

For a complete list of homebrew apps that use this SDK go here.

If you build a cool app using this SDK, let me know. I'd like to see the SDK being made to good use :)

Happy programming!

FTP including

Hi Heathcliff74. I am not sure, if your SDK supports FTP. If not, I offer simple FTP client library (still without managed wrapper) for including to SDK (for development of FTP clients + HTTP all content downloading applications, may be also for Chrome porting etc.). It is a port of very old opensource, we must study licension first probably. All input/output is realised by STL strings, then managed marshalling will simple.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lapingultah:
This may sound like a stupid question, but is there an open source app - no matter how simple or minimal - that's utilizing the Root Tools SDK, registry reading and/or editing specifically? I'm a complete tourist when it comes to developing anything for WP, so I'm after something like this to act as a tutorial or reference. I tried WinTT, but apparently(?) it uses a much older version of the SDK, as I came up with a huge list of errors when opening the project in VS.

Sorry if my question has been answered beforehand somewhere in the boards - I tried looking but came up with nothing. And thanks in advance for help :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Version 1.1 of the SDK is released. Download the new version on wp7roottools.com. This version is only a minor update. For details read the opening post.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Hm. Don't know for sure. Often in these cases it helps to completely delete the "bin" and "obj" folders and rebuild the project again.

I have no example project here. But you can follow the instructions in the download package. There are also example code-snippets in the instruction files. I updated those instructions to reflect the changes in the latest version of the SDK. I hope that helps.

[HTC One X] zerozoneice:
Although Exynos has the better CPU, the GPUs are quite similar in performance (3D) according to these Antutu scores:

http://www.phonearena.com/news/AnTu...Exynos-shows-20-gain-vs-the-HTC-One-X_id29794

Leaked benches before the S3 launch indicate some advantage though

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Sams...9364#1-Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-with-ARM-Mali-400
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
I think there are enough HOX vs SG3 threads already in here..why create a new thread just to discuss one aspect of the phone >.>
[HTC One X] twistedh:
Yawn.
[HTC One X] lpslayer:
SGS3 is 20% faster when the HOX is in battery save mode. So what?

Or haven't you seen the image closely? The HOX's battery is low. Also if the HOX has been used for a while, the temperature might have been up and the scores are lower. The highest I've had on mine is 11.4k, someone posted with 11.9k (that was on 1.28).

Edit: phonearena DOT com/news/Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-rocks-Quadrant-AnTuTu-and-NenaMark-2-benchmark-tests_id29795

Here the SGS3 has 11.4k. I can hardly say that this counts as "faster".
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Yep,

Sgs3 scored 11.4k on AnTuTu, yet my HOX gets 12k

My HOX isn't even running 4.0.4 like the sgs3 is, so - read into this as you like.
[HTC One X] TommUK:
Plus, we're getting these scores using a Gingerbread kernel, so IF or WHEN htc release a true ICS kernel for the Tegra 3 one X, maybe our performance will increase, who knows.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Yep, my thoughts exactly.

As I've been a Galaxy S user through the 1st & 2nd models, over in the Samsung forums - they too, see AnTuTu as the best & most accurate bench software.

So, if our HOX is already matching (& in some cases beating) the SGS3, with a lower android OS version & operating on a gingerbread kernel, I really don't see the massive improvement that the exynos offers over our tegra 3 device.

.... At least not in this case.

- plus, at least we get an exclusive range of nvidia optimized games too. :)
[HTC One X] zerozoneice:
the point is that exynos has an overall advantage (slight, not overwhelming) over the T3 but while generating less heat and therefore eating less battery (which is already very large by comparison)

so if they'd run antutu in loop mode, the GS3 will keep running it long after OneX died :)

all in all, exynos the better CPU with comparable GPU, give them credit where credit is due.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Pure speculation .... you don't know this.
[HTC One X] tkolev:
As someone have said around the forum if you have nothing better to do than playing games long enough to drain your battery, surely you can find the time to put your phone on a charger ;)

[HTC One X] Albert Poon:
Back in the days regarding the PC gfx battle, there 3dfx, ATI and nVidia, and nVidia beated them all one by one. And I was the first who jumped to use Geforce 256. What make me comfortable even at present time about nVidia is, they really WILL push out revised drivers when necessary. Just be patient guys.
[HTC One X] MrPhilo:
First off all the GPU in GS3 is 50-70% faster than Tegra.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5810/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-performance-preview

Second of all, the CPU is better, its made out of 32nm, plus offers features such as the 128bit which are featured in Cortex A15. Not to mention this isn't a final product

There's no such thing of Gingerbread kernel or ICS kernel, the kernel we are on is close to 3.0.x kernel, fyi the next number update should bring us to 3.0.x if I'm correct.
[HTC One X] Kit:
There is so many factors and details in the soc that its hard to say which is better for instance the tegra 3 does use single channel memory but i believe it runs at a higher clock, also this is only an issue if there is a bottle neck here.

Just ran Antutu on my asia htc one x 128 stock and got 1198 without a restart or clearing ram, which i admit is highest i ever got but still, means nothing :)
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
Our kernel revision is 2.6.39.4 if you cared to look on your phone.
[HTC One X] TommUK:
I fail to agree with anything you said, except the moddle paragraph.
[HTC One X] schriss:
As long as SGS3 GPU is not slower than average, it doesn't matter how fast it is.

You won't get special enhanced games for it, it's not nVidia.

[HTC Desire S] mzr92:
Haha a bit of shameless plugging?

I would use Endymion, based on the excellent reviews, but at the moment I feel more comfortable with a ROM based on exciting HTC ROMs. Sorry, I'm still paranoid about doing something awful to my phone x]

Once you've released a version based on official Kernel 3 I'll definitely try out your ROM, I'm sure it will be excellent :)
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
I'm sorry but I think you are mis-understanding the custom ROM situation. All Sense ROMs are based on the official HTC ROMs as Sense is proprietary software. The AOSP / AOKP ROMs are a different beast as they don't include Sense, but there is no more risk in flashing Endymion than DS 3D. To be honest, there is no more risk in flashing Reaper (which I swear by) either.

Just avoid the ICS based ones until v3 kernel is out if you are not 100% sure about doing so.
[HTC Desire S] mzr92:
Ah right, thank you very much for the information, as you have no doubt worked out I'm very new to this.

What I meant by it being risky was that I thought Endymion was based on ICS and since that hasn't been officially released for the Desire S yet there would be certain issues. I know for instance that the camera doesn't work and stuff with most ICS roms. Once those issues get sorted then I'd be very happy to move to Endymion.

Thank you for the information though :)
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Endymion is based on Android v2.3.5 (GingerBread)

Reaper is based on CyanogenMod v7

ICS is Android v4.x

If you read the ROM threads in the dev forum they will all tell you exactly what they are based on.
[HTC Desire S] mzr92:
Sorry, clearly I'm being stupid. Thank you for your help, I will certainly try out Endymion some time this week (installed Saga 3D today and am still restoring text messages so don't want to start the whole process again before Tuesday)
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Not being stupid - just new to it. Trust me, we were all there once upon a time :o

If you are backing up SMS messages then I would suggest 'SMS Backup & Restore' - I have thousands of messages stored, auto-backup every night and a restore takes less than a minute.

Also, make sure you sync your contacts to your Google account rather than your SIM card - makes life a lot easier.

Also install 4EXT Recovery Control so you can take a nandroid backup of your system when you have it the way you want it, and definitely before flashing a new ROM - saves a lot of time.

Beyond that, you may want to look at Titanium Backup for app and settings backups.

Anyway, have a play and take it at a speed you are comfortable with.
[HTC Desire S] mzr92:
Thank you very much, this has been very useful.

I'm using SMS Backup & Restore but it takes hours to recover my texts :S

Thanks for the advice about back ups, will be very handy :)

Shameless plugging? Hardly mate. Just stating facts.

And endymion is not 'my' ROM. I'm not the developer (I wish:p). It's Creator is lowveld...I'm just one of the faithful users.
