[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
That sounds like exactly what I do.

Only thing I add is that I boot back into the system then always check the md5sum of my nandoids on my phone (via AndroidFileVerifier https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sa.afv&hl=en ] AND copy it to my PC.

[I'm an image freak so you may not care about that kind of redundant safety]

Then copy over new ROM files, boot to recovery wipe and flash away

I've done this dozens of times using Agat's kernel(s) and so far (knock on wood) it been a breeze.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] s9amme:
That's a good idea! I'm no image freak, but I can be a back up freak. I'll probably back up my nandroid on my phone, computer, and dropbox.. lol. but verifying backups is a practical step to take and probably often overlooked. I've heard that sometimes people can get md5 checksum errors when restoring old nandroids.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rovar:
Heh I was about to post about this very same thing, I'm on the same boat as OP, except I've been using rooted stock since day1, but the search for more battery life continues! :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Ya I too back up to cloud also - both my nand images and my Titanium.

As for battery life I'm not sure what stuff other people are getting and why but I get very acceptable battery life. I'm using Agat's 2.3 kernel and PhaKEr's UNIV-PlaceboFGXII fixes (they do a lot -3G,4G speed, sleep/battery etc.) on Blazer ICS ROM (currently) or Agat's tFF18 as my daily drivers. I do live in a 4G area and get it a lot while driving and still get decent battery - got almost 5 straight hours on 4G while in the city last weekend. So that's not too bad for me. And I regularly get a whole day (11+hours) out of my phone with normal usage.

I've been flashing ICS ROMs since they came out and they have only gotten better - WAY better. I have used sfhub's one-clicks to give me a fresh starting point every time. Then added CWM and gone from there.

Though I do switch out and mess with the other cool ROMs here; there are some really great devs and some people will prefer different things.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rovar:
Oh, my battery is great as is (pretty much stock debloated manually) but its being able to squeeze a bit more out of it is always welcome.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Manipur:
So I got "The Dark Knight Rises" game from Google play. Took me quite a long time to download. But it was just the beginning of my problems. The game lags so much to the point that it freezes during gameplay and force closes. I have tried using chainfire 3D and loaded Tegra plug-in and tried playing but no joy. So after paying around $ 7.00 for this supposedly awesome game, I am not even able to play it. I can't even ask for a refund. Has anybody downloaded this game and played on our 7.7? Any suggestion on how to make it lag free? I have used System tuner Pro and killed almost all except for the required tasks. I have uninstalled so many of my favorite games and apps just so that I could play this game. I am all ear to all the suggestions for a better gameplay.

I am still using android 3.2 though my phone is rooted.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] lambstone:
Nope. The game itself is buggy and/or not written well to support our processor. I've tried it on my sgs2 as well and same results.

I recommend using Link2SD instead...

Simply make a second partition on your SD card, ext2, ext3, ext4 or FAT32 format, then install the app, run it, select the correct format, reboot and use the app to save yourself loads of space!

Hi all, at first I hope, dear Admins, that you won't delete my thread. (Sry if I break some rules, but I just messed up with my telephone and need very much for someone's help)

So I installed cyanogenmod9 (Android version 4.0.4;cyanogen 9-20120708-UNOFFICIAL-gio) and I didn't like that(maybe cuz im too stucked into original android version) and wanted to uninstall it SOMEHOW. Tried in reboot menu to wipe data, and etc. But still it won't help me. When I fix that and I will get answer, you can lock the thread. Thx.

If you want to install Stock ROM you have to use Odin.

Ah okay thanks, and what is that Odin?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] AlwaysDroid:
Odin is a tool for flashing your gio that samsung officially uses.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] papa019:
Type into google: "Galaxy Gio Flash Stock ROM with Odin"

But I recommend you that install enhanced 2.3.6, because it's much smoother than stock rom and it's 2.3.x too.;)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] angkrang:
god, you don'tknow what ODIN but you play flashing? :wow:
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Endless1:
Wow, you dont need odin to FLASH software, but you do if you need to UNFLASH I guess.. Wasn't at home long, now back and gonna try to unflash it.. Wish me luck :D And before when I tried as I remember, in ODIN multidownloader had a lil bit problem, gonna write it if its succeed or if I have any problems left.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Endless1:

Sry for double post, but I need quick help..

Do I must download multi firmware package with ODIN if I want to flash to other version? (2.3.6 enchanted)

[Defy General] pranks1989:
Hi guys,

The project cheesecake thread is meant strictly for develpment where it is being researched how to unlock the bootloader of Defy. Hence anything other than dev should be kept outside or the thread gets spammed!

Lets continue the discusion here. I will try my best to keep updating the status here once a day. But owing to my schedule that may not be possible at times!

How and why to sue?:

We as owners of the device got full right for it and Moto by locking away the bootloaders is keeping us from using our device to the fullest! A detailed discussion is here in Moto forum which is worth a read.

See 47 CFR Sec. 15.21." in Page 63 of this document.

26-7: In India we may approach Consumer Forum.

Spamming links:

You can mention how much the Defy/Defy+ is used for dev and show this link to CM status (jordan/umts_jordan leads!)

Motorola community discussion for unlocking bootloader.

Facebook page and this post there
[Defy General] yackoo:
I think that we should try to interest some institution in the European Union. European Union draws attention to the rights of consumers. And the locked bootloader restricts the rights of users. We have "open" system - Android, bu we can use only versions from Motorola. The European Union may request Motorola to unlock the bootloader.
[Defy General] aed0101:
All these suing Motorola conversations are bs.

Motorola created device and sells it as is. Not being able to install latest and greatest does not restrict you to use phone's advertised features.

You can gain absolutely nothing by suing Motorola, because there is nothing illegal in not offering an ability to unlock bootloader. Not in Europe, not in India, China, etc.
[Defy General] yackoo:
Ok, but what about the public promise - Motorola said they will remove the lock. This kind of announcement could encourage many users to purchase products of Motorola. But bootloader are still locked - the company deliberately misled customers. It is an unlawful act (providing false information about a product, which may affect the decision to purchase). Anyone who bought a Motorola product after the bootloader announcement, you may feel cheated.
[Defy General] pranks1989:
Do you have any copy of the public promise?! Will add it to the first post
[Defy General] josuearisty:
Excellent.

Go ahead you are with us!
[Defy General] yodawg:
Jep, this makes far more sense to me than suing just because the bootloader is locked. Motorola is not the only brand that sells locked devices.

Also, if this still doesn't work, maybe talking to Google about the broken promise would help since they own Motorola now and they seem to have a more "open" policy than Motorola.
[Defy General] crakeron:
The public promise has no legal value. You can't sue Motorola for that, niether can you sue them for not unlocking the bootloader as Aed0101 said.

Regarding the law, they are in their full right and this class-action lawsuit idea will go nowhere at all. Just cut all this bull**** about the locked bootloader and move on...

Trust me, i want the bootloader unlocked just as much as you do. Either we do it ourselves eventually, either we never have one. End of story.

[Defy General] visualist6x6:
Wow! You mean to tell me you know every obscure law regarding consumer products in every country that Motorola sells it's products? I'm impressed!

If someone thinks that they can find a crack in Moto's armor, let them. Who knows what we can gain by it. They just want to find a way to help our devs but maybe, don't know how to program.
[Defy General] yackoo:
I can't agree with that. We are talking about important functionality. Imagine, that the manufacturer says "next update will add feature X". You are looking for a device with such a function and you select Motorola - because he has to have this feature. After a while Motorola forget about the "problem". This is not a promise made by Mr. Smith, but by a huge corporation. It's a big difference.
[Defy General] josuearisty:
I agree with this comment!
[Defy General] nidhish91:
Motorola has said they will start releasing tools to unlock bootloaders for its devices, started with Photon Q

[Defy General] mothy1025:
Motorola photon Q has boot loader unlocked..motorola announced
[Defy General] toohot4tv:
Maybe moto will say something like Defy is too old well only unlock new phones... motorola style loll
[Defy General] aed0101:
It has nothing to do with legal knowledge. It´s just common sense. Unfortunately, not everybody have it.

I guess the only way to gain something (if possible at all) is contacting both Motorola and Google.
[Defy General] Sir Flashalot:
Moto never "promised" anything to unlock booloaders. In 2011 they said:

"In terms of your question – we completely understand the operator requirement for security to the end user, and as well, want to support the developer communities desire to use these products as a development platform. It is our intention to enable the unlockable/relockable bootloader currently found on Motorola XOOM across our portfolio of devices starting in late 2011, where carriers and operators will allow it.”​

So, just an Intention to unlock where carriers and operators allow it. Trust me, a law suit is useless.

Now this is getting interesting! This announcement deserves a new topic. I advise to do some spamming here:

http://community.developer.motorola...ader-discussion-board/td-p/22108?pubid=987654
[Defy General] yackoo:
There are smartphones with unlocked bootloaders in European market. So carriers are not problem - unless we assume that carriers prohibit removing the lock only in devices of Motorola. But this is impossible.
[Defy General] yodawg:
Agreed! Defy has to be the second phone on their list, and spamming the forum maybe improves the chances of getting it there ;)

Also, contacting Google could help. Maybe post it as official Android issue? Even if its specific to just one device, I've already seen things which were specific to other phones aswell.
[Defy General] ovi1602:
Motorola sucks so bad :( We just want an unlocked bootloader, I don't think it's such a big task for them. We didn't even ask for official 4.0/4.1, we just want our bootloader unlocked...
[Defy General] hsrars-d:
When spamming Moto forums, post a link to the Cyanogenmod install stats page so they can see that Defy is in top 5 in all time installations of CM

Download the bootanimation.zip file from the bottom of the first post, that should be the stock animation. Flash it in CWM or an application of your preference.

This is not the stock Verizon bootanimation. It seems to be some sort of bootanimation for the I9300.

So much better than the Verizon animation, even if it is pretty plain. But I like not having any of their crap on my phone.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pjamv5:
Yes, unfortunately this will only work for stock-based ROMs. CM boot method is different from stock. It uses a set of individual images in sequence for animation while stock uses a single qmg file (that is basically a compiled set of images).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] michael*:
This zip has jpg files. Doesn't the Verizon s3 need a bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg replacement? I'm looking for a boot animation replacement but can't find any. I would appreciate a link if you know of one.

Rom Toolkit didn't work for me. Perhaps only some of the animations work on the s3 but I didn't feel like installing and trying them all out. If you've used Rom toolkit and got it working, which animation did you use?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Vorfidus:
The zip file contains those. You have to place them in the proper directories. With some roms the boot animations don't have to be qmg though.

To use ROM toolbox I believe you need to have a Rom with init.d support.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] michael*:
Right, makes sense. Since I'm stock rom, guess I'm stuck with qmg. I'll keep looking
