My phone's lost. I dropped it somewhere last night or maybe someone picked my pocket. It's out of service now, wifi/data off, and it was pattern locked. I think the only way for anyone to use it is to reformat the thing. No "Plan B" and I regret uninstalling one of the security apps which would have wiped it clean with a text message.

I've been watching and learning from this corner of xda-dev ever since I rooted my phone. From Unofficial CM7's to Unofficial CM9's. Without this forum, I would have been stuck with a bricked phone a long time ago. There was a lot of help and I thank those that gave tips on what to do to fix issues.

Thank you to all devs for making our lowly O1 the best that it can be, especially the ones who brought in ICS goodness. I've always procrastinated buying a new phone. Seems like every time I come to a decision, someone makes a major breakthrough with the OS. Was hoping to try adfad666's JellyBean today but well... life's life. I guess this is a sign? LOL

I'll settle down with another part of the forum once I've made up my mind on which phone to get. On a side note, any suggestions? Something a step up from the O1?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] -DarkKnight-:
HTC one x if you can support it

Or HTC HD 2 galaxy s III

Or what I might get - HTC amaze/one s in the US
[Optimus One, P500, V General] androidmeda:
Yeah, I've had my eye on HTC phones. But the ones I want are way out of budget. LOL. I checked pricing for HD2, I think I can manage that. But isn't it a windows phone? I guess you can load Android on it, eh?

Hey, I haven't verbally thanked you, but thank you for your JellyBean goodies post!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] -DarkKnight-:
Your welcone

Yeah it has a full jelly bean port and almost every android version ported on it. If you are sense fan like me then it has almost every version of sense available for that 1.5-4.0

And it has windows phone 7 on it too

I had that then I broke it by dropping it into a pool

Lol my old Nokia 3310 survived that then I ran it over with my truck(accidentally)

ps. be happy that you don't live in the US. they have all them bloatware, really really locked bootloaders, no sideloading apps blah blah blah

really annoying

they don't want you to root your device because then you don't get the same "customer experience" and they also say that you might be "tampering with the network" or "ruining other customers experiences" by you rooting a phone that you paid for. BS
[Optimus One, P500, V General] androidmeda:
And I thought 3310 were invincible. :D You sure you weren't testing it's invincibility? :silly: Anyway, thanks for the advise. I'm leaning towards the HD2 the more I'm reading about it. Old phone still packs a punch.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] GobletSky31689:
Well, i would suggest buying a phone with newer chip.

HD2 has QSD8250(Q4 2008). I dont think qualcomm's gonna support it forever(like it did with us:mad:)

So, you should check this site.

I recommend

Galaxy Ace Plus 1.0 GHz ARM Cortex-A5 Adreno 200 (enhanced) Q4 2011

LG Optimus L7 1.0 GHz ARM Cortex-A5 Adreno 200 (enhanced) Q4 2011

Any phone applicable to your budget and needs in MSM8255(much better) 1-1.5 GHz Scorpion Adreno 205 Q2 2010
[Optimus One, P500, V General] laz3r69:
Wait for Ace 2

I would suggest to wait for Galaxy Ace 2 : 800 Mhz Dual Core (2 Cortex A9 cores UNDERCLOCKED) with 768 MB ram and Mali400MP GPU on Novathor U8500 chip and also approx 240dpi 480x800 px 3.8 in screen!! .WOOOW!!! but it does not come ICS out of box...but naaah WHY ARE WE HERE ;):p

Processor is underclocked for battery (Same processor as in xperia U but 1 ghz) so

Overclocking is a Breeeeze..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bapi03:
Hi just want to ask i cannot proceed to step 1 of this

STEP :

1. run 01-local-prop.cmd to create /data/local.prop (enable android emulator hack)

2. power off device and update your device WITHOUT FACTORY RESET

3. run 02-push-root-files.cmd to push su binary and superuser.apk

4. your device will automatically reboot

when i run local prop.. after the cmd appears it will automatically close without loading or saying that its done.. for just about 1 sec.

and i thought it was just like that so i proceed with the update to ics and step 3. but still no super user app in my phone ;(

i think i was not able to run step 1 thats why i failed but i dont know how to fix it... my phone is .62 rooted now please help.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] loCe45:
You should've opened a command prompt and typing command in it, instead of clicking on a .cmd file, that way window wouldn't have closed and you would've been able to see if all went well or not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mzaur:
I'm trying to get ICS on my dad's phone, but for his company he needs it to be unrooted. The IT dept uses MobileIron which won't install unless the phone is unrooted. I flashed Shostock ROM and am trying to remove root. Now SU is gone, but I'm still able to access root directory using a file explorer. So it seems like the only way to fully unroot is to flash a stock ICS kernel. Where can I get one?

Or maybe someone has experience with MobileIron and can tell me if removing SuperUser is enough? Or does it also check for s-off?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
You can extract the zImage from the UCLE5 plus Root tar package that is available in the development section.

You should however, leave the custom kernel on the phone and not install the stock UCLE5 kernel since that would introduce the risk of the eMMC superbrick bug.

Root does not reside within the kernel anyway. It is in the system partition, and since the phone is currently rooted, you can remove the files that make the phone rooted, and when you subsequently reboot the phone, it will no longer be rooted.

You will need to install a root file explorer. There are several available and I think at least one that is free on Google Play is a part of Super Manager 3.0 by Gpc. You can remove the applications after you remove root.

Be sure to remove all of the following before you reboot. You can't do it in steps. There is actually only one su binary and one busybox binary, but the other one of each of those is a symlink.

To remove root from the phone:

/system/app/superuser.apk

/system/bin/su

/system/bin/busybox

/system/xbin/su

/system/xbin/busybox
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mzaur:
Thanks a lot. Those files are all gone, so I guess the phone is officially unrooted then. I was just worried since the root directory could still be accessed. I guess I won't be needing that official kernel then.

Thanks again! :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
You may be able to look at root in read-only but you won't be able to modify anything without root permissions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mzaur:
Well, apparently the IT dept couldn't install MobileIron security software on the phone. I did remove all the root files, but I'm guessing it does check for unofficial kernels or something. I guess i'll have to give official ICS a try
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Not too surprised. You can find the UCLE5 stock firmware in the Download Repository.

Just don't do a wipe with that kernel installed ! :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashcunak:
I retired my Nexus one pretty much at new years the last rom it was running was a CM7 nightly build of early December, i picked it up again this weekend spent an hour and a half and put the black rose stuff and than re partitioned and installed JB just to see (and wow its ahead of my HTC Amaze now ;)...

SO i have figured out what i want to do with this phone, in a little under two weeks im going on a road trip, driving a car im not used to and would like to do two things with it, 1 is run it as a dashcam, ive seen one app out there that looks decent, and 2 is run it as the mp3 player plugged into the stereo line in in the car.

what im looking for is a pretty basic rom that's stable and has good battery life. any suggestions since im 6 and a half months behind on knowing what's "good and stable" here.

also will be only using it with WiFi at destination, no sim card at all unless i break my amaze somehow.

(i also assume the wiki has a link on how to fix partitions back to 2.3.* era partition sizes?, haven't looked yet assuming its there)

Thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taodan:
If you want a stable ROM then try the CM 7.2 but keep in mind that you have to flash stock partition for the GB ROM.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpm:
Yep CM7.2 is recommended.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Intercrew:
I've been an apple user for quite a long time in the mobile area (ipods and the phone) and recently switched to galaxy s3 because the android os seemed very interesting and it is. A lot of diverse development going on in the xda-forum and elsewhere.

I've been using the phone for the last week and recently tried to export stuff from my iPhone today and to my surprise the grip and feel was really weird. The iPhone was tiny compared to the S3 and I thought to myself how the f**k did I manage to do all the things I needed to on the small screen. The S3 is still getting used to from the inner software (mostly) and the holding the device. I can fully grasp the iphone and cover it up with my fist while I cant with the S3 and the screen of the S3 is just fantastic. Thinking back on playing the games on the iPhone is funny as I don't get a cramp from playing on the S3 compared to the iPhone.

I've read rumors about the new iPhone being longer in length but width wise is the same. That to me is a huge mistake as the width needed to be increased and not the length.

Anyways thats just me blabbing about how I feel about the S3, coming from a iPhone user. Made a great decision.

Welcome to amdroid ,the only thing I miss of my iPhone is getting new apps in the app store like every week a new cool app will come out ,on android I don't see that(been a long time android user and had my iphone 4s for 7 months) other that is great, if you like tweetbot try out tweetlanes ,is not the same but is the closest that I can find with mice UI
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Srgsx:
I feel the same way - left the iphone for the S3 after being locked down with IOS for 4 years, even with that giant scree the S3 feels much better in hand than the 4/4S. Could not stand the square edges and much prefer the rounded edge of the S3 or 3GS for that matter -

I can actually hear people too with this phone - lol

The funny thing is with an otterbox case on the s3 feels way smaller than an iPhone 4s with an otterbox, it was like a little brick and the s3 feels great.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] woodydog:
I was a long time iPhone user. I get the 4s even tho I was disappointed with it. I never liked it. had to wait 3 months for a jailbreak got it and still wasn't happy. Was just waiting for an Android to wow me I got the HTC one x on launch day and bricked it after a month my fault. Then goe gs3 on launch day. I love this phone its everything I ever wanted in a phone and more. Android 4 life!!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] fillyo:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] fabzbear:
man I remember my first time switching.

It was a suggestion too from a friend. When I had the iPhone I couldn't use it without Jailbreaking it. There was just no way to operate it in the stock state. As with rooting Jailbreaking did have it's plus and cydia was great. Still I wanted more and my friend...at the time had the new evo rooted....and when I saw the endless possibilities, flashing different Rom's I was sold. Matter a fact I sold my iPhone and bought me the evo and never looked back.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JetBlue:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sabre31:
Switched from iPhone also love android os but miss the weekly great apps and games that come out for iPhone each week. I wish developers would release for Android like they do for iphone. IPhone os sucks over android but apps on iOS or much better especially for games. However sgs3 rocks.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Snook321:
Has anyone noticed that after a week or so with your GS3 that the screen doesnt occur to be as big as when you first saw it? I remember when I first saw the demo unit in T-Mobile and it blew my mind by how big the screen was and now, it doesnt feel that big anymore. But still, When I hold an Iphone (I wash my hands after holding one lol) I laugh at how puny the screen is... And holding my G1, its just ridiculous!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] fwdkiller:

I still don't get why some people prefer iphones, I have heard from quite a few people that its "more user friendly for a novice" but when I started out sampling smart phones to decide which route to take, I found android os's to be much easier to navigate, now throw in 4g, larger screens and faster cpu's and everything else, it just confuses me more to see diehard apple fans. Oh well, to each there own I guess.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Randomacts:
To be honest, blackberry is makes more sense for the crowd that I would think needs more "user friendly" UI.

It feels exactly like phones did pre smart phone era.. *or atleast that is what my mom's torch is like*. Not a big jump for them as the UI is pretty much the same and there is a physical keyboard on most of them.

I'm an android user, well used to be but ever since my t959 broke, I'm back to the iPhone. Some people claim it just work. It doesn't, just has a better method of executing tasks and lying to its users about loading times. Android freezes when loading a task when we touch the Icon while iPhone immediately launch the user into a useless screenshot and takes its sweet time loading there. As a power user, I do notice crashes occasionally. Instead of being honest and tell its users about the crash, it ignores it and act like nothing happens, no fc no nothing just bring me back to the home screen. As far as apps, I couldn't care less about those simple touch games on either platform. All I use is productivity and entertainment, not some kid-ish bird launching games. I might be biased but to me android fits me more. I hated being locked down by iTunes. Recently I have lost all of my contacts, apps, and music because of a stupid update and had to re sync from another computer. Shsh is a a pain in the ass to do compared to plug and play.
