Hey all:

So I'm really interested in changing my rom, but everywhere I turn I'm told I can't do so because the bootloader is locked on the droid x. I had always been under the impression it was the same for the milestone x since they're both motorola, and basically the same phone except the milestone is debranded and used on smaller cdma networks, rather than verizon... However, as I scour the web in search of enlightenment, I find a discussion about the bootloader, where it was implied that it was verizon, not motorola, who wanted the bootloader locked and that on the non-droid (non-verizon) x's this isn't an issue. Can anyone verify that the bootloader is indeed unlocked on the milestone x, our give me a "safe" way to do so? And if so, what roms would work?

Thanks
[Droid X General] jmgib:
I haven't seen anything that says that the bootloader is unlocked on the Milestone X. Verizon may not want an open bootloader but I doubt the smaller carriers do either. At least mine wouldn't.
[Droid X General] hayescooper19:
Hey, another kentucky boy. I'm assuming that means you're on app wireless, which means we should have pretty much the exact same phones. Did you take the 2.3.5 update around the end of last year? Have you tried any custom roms? found any that work on the milestone?
[Droid X General] jmgib:
Yeah, I'm with Appalachian! Wireless. I played around with some custom ROMs before the Gingerbread update, but I haven't risked it since. I may give it another go once I'm closer to my contract being up. Now that would probably change if I could get a good SBF image to fall back to if I break something.
[Droid X General] hayescooper19:
Yeah its pretty crappy that Appalachian has never released an sbf.. They're sort of weird about stuff like that... But I saw somewhere on the interweb something about a "generic north american milestone x sbf". Our phones don't seen to have any sort of model customization for app wireless, so maybe that would work?... I hear that the ics gummy rom works on the milestone x, but I haven't tried it yet. I'm new to all this hacking and modding stuff.. I finally have it rooted and found this ics launcher in the market called holo launcher that works pretty well, and I've been experimenting with some metamorph themes (got the r2d2 lock screen...oohh yeahhh...lol), so I don't know if I'll risk it. Maybe when my contact ends in november and I'm during outside the store at 4 in the morning waiting in line for the black friday sale, I'll cave and give it a shot... Lol
[Droid X General] elliot_goldstein:
After successfully flashing my Milestone X with CyanogenMod I noticed my Google Market was not included. I found it and renamed to update... and placed it on my sdcard. No go, I later tried to replace the bootloader and bricked my X. They gave me another one and now I have Gingerbread. From what I read in the wiki I would have to do all suggested backup apn stuff and flash back to froyo or previous version.

The problem I had when I flashed the Shadow ROM, the kernel was not updated, so I decided there was no real benefit to all this and it might be easier to just keep the latest carrier update and install a new theme.

Good luck,

Elliot
[Droid X General] mattydangerfox:
I'm pretty sure the bootloader has not been unlocked. The kernel will remain stock no matter what rom you flash.
[Droid X General] mattydangerfox:
Did you flash the latest gapps on top of CM?
[Droid X General] jmgib:
The generic .SBF won't work on our phones. It would sort of work prior to the Gingerbread update but after it will brick your phone. I think I have it saved somewhere though if your feeling adventurous.
[Droid X General] hayescooper19:
Thanks, but no thanks. This phone has got to last me another few months, so adventure will have to wait.
[Droid X General] hayescooper19:
So, if I use this vortex rom, and it turns oit I don't like it or it somehow interferes with my phones functionality, I can revert back to my old settings via nan droid backup, right?
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
Yes, you don't even have to wipe anything when restoring a backup.
[Droid X General] hayescooper19:
Thanks! I may give it a shot after all.
[Droid X General] hayescooper19:
One last question, just to be on the safe side.. Installing this rom shouldn'thave any effect on my baseband/radio/data coverage/etc, should it? Sorry if its a dumb question. just gotta be careful until my contact runs out.
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
It should not, and in the event something should go wrong or not work correctly, you always have the option of restoring a backup or SBFing.
[Droid X General] jmgib:
Let me know how it goes. I'm interested in hearing your progress.
[Droid X General] DroiZ:
How did you successfully flashed your Milestone X to CyanogenMod? I have a DX that runs on MX now, and I can't get it on Cmod7.
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
Root first, then use Droid 2 Bootstrapper to install recovery, update recovery via ROM Manager, then install CyanogenMod and Gapps.
[Droid X General] hayescooper19:
Hey! Sorry for the long delay. To give you an update, I WAS able to flash vortex RC1 without a problem. However, I wasn't crazy about the design and I couldn't get the Wi-Fi to work even with the Wi-Fi lib fix, so so I was forced to Nandroid back to stock. However, I tried vortex reloaded and not only did I like the design better, but the Wi-Fi worked!! I used it for a while, then did a Nandroid and downloaded and flashed liberty 3 v2, again without a hitch. I can't decide which I like better, so I just go back and forth between the two. I'm so indecisive... lol... but if you're you're interested, you can download liberty and RC1 from the same place. Just Google "blur-based roms on .621/.604" and click the top result, which should be rootzwiki. You can also find an apex rom there. As for vortex reloaded, you'll have to do a little more digging, but it shouldn't be hard to find...

As for choosing a rom, it's all personal preference. But the one thing I can NOT STRESS ENOUGH is that, when using a milestone x, the rom needs to be modified for the .621/.604 hack. As for 2nd-init roms, I have no idea because I've never looked into them. Hope this helps!!
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
2nd init roms can be used on .621/.604.
[Droid X General] hayescooper19:
Cool. Is it the same process as flashing any other rom? And are they device specific? (I.e. any 2nd-init rom I use must be specifically tailored for the milestone x, or would droid x roms suffice?
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
Droid X ROMs will do :D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnyrichter:
Just installed these earlier(Odin method) on my 100% OEM gingerbread captivate and I ran in to some issues.

-I'm noticing some sluggishness in various actions, i.e. unlocking the phone, using the connect-the-dots lock screen, etc. Didn't do this before.

-Seems like the battery is draining a little faster than normal.

-Seems like I have less free memory than normal.

-I can not figure out how to fit a wallpaper to a single screen since I don't keep icons on the other screens and even deleted/disabled them in the launcher desktop settings. When I go to wallpapers > gallery > my wallpapers folder > my wallpaper I always choose the rectangle option and click/drag and set that. Now I can only see a small portion of that rectangle as it seems to be zoomed in like 50x. Does it with every custom wallpaper I try.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] takeoutttt:
Really? I'm currently running same as yours Legend 5 ICS with Corn 7.06 and my results are far more different than yours. I have experiencing any of issues or what so ever and I have more free memory than the past Legend 4. I'll suggest that you FLASH back to STOCK KK4 using One click Odin in the development section so it will be a fresh and clean reflash. Then root your phone using this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1680048 and get CWM. Then FLASH the LEGEND 5 ICS FULL WIPE ROM in CWM. Wait and poof! All is good.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red_81:
Did you upgrade from another ROM? A previous version of Legend? Go back and flash the full wipe version of Legend. I think you'll see your problems go away.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robm1911:
@ red and takeoutt thanks for the posts @ op hopefully the issues will be taken care of with the one click takeoutt recommended if not feel free to to bring up any other issues you have on the Legend Q&A thread..

So I'm using this post to go back to OEM with the option "I897UCKK4 Odin One Click - Stock, NO Bootloaders, Re-partition, Full Wipe"...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3

And using this post to root my phone and get Corn 7.0A Kernel using his batch file method...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1680048

What are the steps for reinstalling the Legend 5 ROM? With Corn 7.06 Kernal I booted the phone in recovery mode and used that new kernal menu to install the ROM.zip from internalSD, I'm assuming the process will be about the same?

Do I need to reinstall GB bootloaders or will those always be on my phone due to previously having GB?

Anything else in particular I need to know before doing this?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnyrichter:
I went from a 100% OEM GB KK4 Captivate to Legend 5 ICS and Corn 7.06 Kernel.

Thanks for the link, I'll check that out.

I posted a reply above to confirm if those are the correct links/steps I need to perform this reset/reinstall. Want to be 100% sure before I do this. :cool:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red_81:
Sounds like you have the steps down.

Just make sure you flash the full wipe version of the ROM
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnyrichter:
Pretty sure that's what I went with before, "Legend_v5_KK4_ICS_FW.zip," but maybe it was that 7.06 kernel giving me issues.

Do you know if this wipe/reinstall will give m back my ability to fit backgrounds to my screen again? That's a HUGE annoyance mainly because I only use a single screen, I removed the other blank screens via the holo launcher, and it still stretches my backgrounds for some reason. I'm wondering if I just need to crop my images to single-screen size for them to work properly.

ETA: OdinOneClick got me set back to OEM KK4 without issue. That custom batch file got me rooted and set to Corn 7.0a Kernel without issue. Now rebooting in to recovery mode once more so I can reinstall Legend 5 ICS FW.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnyrichter:
Just finished reinstalling Legend 5 and all my apps.

Seems to be running a bit smoother than before., memory free is about the same, but wallpapers are still showing as zoomed in when I choose them(uploaded to externalSD or Zedge wallpapers). Any idea on how to fix this?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red_81:
I use Go Launcher so I can't say for sure...

Give me a few minutes and I'll switch launchers and see.....

It does this across Go Launcher and Holo Launcher. Touchwiz seems to keep it the normal size.

Now I have to go restore my Go Launcher from backup because I hit the wrong button.....grrrr
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnyrichter:
What do these launchers do exactly, and what would some pros/cons be if I switched from holo to something like touchwiz?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red_81:
The launcher is what lists your programs and shows you the home screen. Some add new features, some use less memory, some are just plain faster. You just need to try them and see what you like best. You might want to download a program called desk migrate to help move your layout between the different launchers.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnyrichter:
Thanks. I'll see whats out there and give them a try.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnyrichter:
Can't really seem to figure out what launcher my phone has(OEM) and where I can find other launchers.

What launchers and themes are compatible with Legend 5 ICS? I guess it would help to know what's been tested before I just go throwing whatever on this phone.

ETA: robm1911's "Stainless" theme for the Captivate is awesome looking. Not sure on compatibility, though.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] takeoutttt:
I find the holo luncher very responsive and snappy. Got no problems at all really.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnyrichter:
Hololauncher worked great for me, but it kept zooming in on my wallpapers which was a deal breaker for me.

Touchwhiz 4.0(in second post of L5 thread and listed as TW4) not only fixed that resolution problem, but it also offers more customizations and seems just as snappy as HL did. Definitely worth trying out, just use homeswitcher from the market to switch back and forth between launchers if you don't want to make a full commitment to just one.

The app that either you or rob recommended that backs up your settings and moves them between launchers did not work for me. It downloaded and installed but wouldn't do anything when I tried to run it. No biggie as I only run 2 screens, homescreen for apps and second screen for games. Not too much to set up.

Has anyone tested TW4.5 with L5? I guess it's just a re-work of 4.0 with some extra options thrown in.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irfarf:
have you tried go launcher ex?

i think it has the option whether to zoom in your image or letting it display normally on the wallpaper

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] caveman999:
I have a question for those who bought the Samsung spare battery charger device with the integrated stand. What is the rated output voltage and amperage of the charger? If should say so on the device itself.

Also, if possible, I would greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me the actual voltage and/or amperage of the charger as measured by a volt/amp meter.

The reason I am looking for this info is because I bought a spare battery from Samsung, but the current charger that I have doesn't charge it all the way (only to about 91% full) since the output voltage is too low. I would like to purchase a third party charger since they are much cheaper, but I need to know what its specs should be.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] chrisbass:
I believe the charger your talking about is 5.0 volts and 1.0 amp. I haven't run it on a meter. I would say any usb charger with that rating or higher should be sufficient for a 100% charge
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] caveman999:
Sorry, I didn't mean the USB charger, I meant the one where you put a spare battery in it by itself to charge. Here is the link for what it looks like:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] chrisbass:
Sorry, shouldn't have said usb. I was in a sprint store on Sunday looking at that battery/charger combo and I it said 5.0 volts/ 1.0amp
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] caveman999:
Okay, cool. Thanks a bunch!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stan.s:
Incorrect. The charger that comes with the phone itself is 1 amp, the charger that comes with Samsung's spare battery stand ebh-1g6mla is only .7 - the stand can accept input at either 500 mA or

1 A. It outputs only 4.2v @ either 450 or 900 mA.

Okay, thank you.
[HTC Sensation XL] steve81uk:
Hi all.

I have been pretty dum and did not back up my device, thinking it would all be ok, however... that is never the case for me. I installed a Theme using ROM Toolbox Pro, am using 3 Musketeers Insanely Cool Sense 4, and suppose thought would have a mess around with the look, dont ask why. i just decide to do silly things..

what has happened is every app now seems to be unstable, and comes up with an error.

anyway's i do have a back up of the old theme, but for the life of me dont know where to copy the files onto my device. I just hope that copying the files back will do the trick.

all else failing i will have to force myself back into re-installing the full rom, and startijng all over again, if this is the case does anyone know how i could get into my messages ap to make a back up of all my recent messages as quite a lot of these messages are important to me. :crying:

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me out.

[HTC Sensation XL] CoSaWa:
Couldn't you just reinstall the rom.zip without wiping data, this should just replace all the system files with working ones... Make sure you do a back up though! If not just search the Play Store, there's loads of apps that backup messages, contacts, and call logs, try this one.. Here
[HTC Sensation XL] steve81uk:
ahh good thinking, i hadn't thought of re-installing rom without clearing cache etc..

backing up things is a bit more difficult as play store crashes. messages crashes, all the system things crash.. :(
[HTC Sensation XL] CoSaWa:
If you want I can upload the apk to adb push it to your phone?

Edit:

Here's a app to backup your mesaages here
[HTC Sensation XL] steve81uk:
Thanks mate, glad to know there's always a genius in this site at all times.

I just wish i had thought about re-installing the Rom earlier, instead of rushing around trying to think of how to fix it the hard way..

all apps work and my messages are all still there.

Now i should really get back to my night shift in the office..

Cheers

No problem mate, I know what its like to panic... ;)
