[LG Optimus 2x] aMpeX:
The main advantage of the O2X as a dev phone, in my opinion, is that it is almost impossible to brick it, with the possible (but I didn't ever encounter it) exception of a failed baseband flash. It is really fool proof to root, no unsafe boot images or bootloaders to flash, simply run any known "hack" and you will end up with root.

There are many ways you can get into the custom ROM game. The easiest one was already mentioned: Root with SuperOneClick => ROM Manager => Flash CWM => boot into recovery from ROM Manager or by turning on the phone with power and Volume Down button pressed.

An alternative would be to use the script provided by Paul O Brien over at modaco which gives you a CWM installation without rooting or using ROM Manager.

Stock ROMs are available as .kdz files and pre rooted CWM images here in the dev section, enabling you to use NVFlash/Smartflash with the former and CWM with the latter to return your phone to a stock state. I suggest staying away from flashing basebands unless you have a specific problem you aim to solve with another baseband, our CM maintainer hasn't changed his baseband ever, and he (like me) uses the oldest version known to this forum. Whenever you flash a ROM, make sure your Baseband matches your RIL file, which can be done easily with the GetRIL app from the Play Store.

ICS ROMs to date are sort of hit and miss. I used owains builds, Nova HD and currently Paranoid Android. If you are fine with a glitchy Phone that might simply restart itself randomly once you open any app from time to time, can't record/play hardware accelerated video due to missing drivers or slow down if you haven't rebooted for a while you can flash away.

If you're comfortable with the Gingerbread builds atm I suggest flashing the latest CM7 RC or Nightly and wait for the official ICS update which will hopefully arrive in the next 2-3 months.

We all talk about battery life but i want to know how is your battery life with your screen on? Lately I've been getting around 6 to 7 hours of screen time. I have the Maxx. Is that good or bad? How is everyone else?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] donebrasko:
So no one else considers screen time and battery life important?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ddfuji:
I do. Until I got the maxx I've tried talking h about this topic before but the conversation usually ends in "oh the screen always uses that much battery, and battery is the number on battery consumer" so I kinda just gave up on this issue
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bwheelies:
It as well as battery life in general are very subjective depending on usage.

If you have data off and watch a series of dark movies the screen on time will be longer than someone streaming porn on LTE.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slyb2:
I`ve just bought my Galaxy S3 (I9300) and after some playing around I noticed that the colours/ texture on some screens "don`t look right"

What I mean is for example the dark screens (settings, notifications) start to loose their colour and texture towards the bottom of the screen. You can see some horizontal "lines"

Also I`ve flashed a JB and if you scrooll to the edge of the wallpaper (let`s say to the left) the grean/ yellow etc colours don`t look as sharp as on the main screen.

I don`t understand. Is it me or my phone?

Help needed

will the following method work for my device MT6575 or will it brick my phone???

This boot.img can be flashed via fastboot to root a Nexus One with Android 2.3.6 (GRK39F).

Note: Your bootloader needs to be unlocked before you can use it!

Download bexboot.v2.GRK39F_OTA.zip, create a new folder on your computer and extract the Bexboot zip archive into that folder.

Connect your device via USB to your computer.

Put your device in USB debugging mode (Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging).

Put your device in bootloader mode. Therefore open a terminal, cd to the directory where you extracted the files to and type:

Windows

adb-windows reboot bootloader

Mac

adb-mac reboot bootloader

Linux

adb-linux reboot bootloader

In bootloader mode, type in the terminal:

Windows

fastboot-windows flash boot bexboot.v2.img followed by

fastboot-windows reboot

Mac

fastboot-mac flash boot bexboot.v2.img followed by

fastboot-mac reboot

Linux

fastboot-linux flash boot bexboot.v2.img followed by

I did the same thing, except with a status bar battery icon. I went into ROM Toolbox, first installed custom boot logo (worked), but then after I installed custom battery icon, Android kept giving me a "Status bar is unresponsive" kind of pop up, and would continue each time I clicked "force close".

Long story short, I had to use Nexus7 Toolkit to flash the stock image again, as I did not have a Nandroid backup at the time. I do now.

I did email the developer about it, and I was told I needed a deodexed ROM in order to customize. I'm hesitant to install a custom ROM, as I love having pure Android for the first time (I've been using CyanogenMod on my phone and my old HP Touchpad to keep me up to the latest). In time, I may give in, to have more customizations available.

Hi there, I know its sounds repeating problems but I seriously need help...

I'm new to android.

I got a GSM EVO 3D with arabic ruu installed months ago, and of course, already updated to ics few weeks ago.

I tried root my EVO 3D from this newbie guide {Complete Newbie's Guide to rooting and flashing Evo 3D ROMs/Kernels using fastboot} from androidforum and things turn well, but then I wanted to tried out virtuous eclipse rom, but I forgot to s-off the device, maybe thats the MAIN CAUSE.

And so, after flashing the virtuous eclipse, it just won't started, keep hanging on the V splash screen and reboot over and over again.

I did two serious mistakes due to my stupidity

1: I didn't backup my original rom

2: I didn's s-off before flashin a custom rom

I tried to boot into recovery (revolutionary), and perform a full wipe, EVERYTHING, SYSTEM and data.

Now my problem is, I have an =empty= evo 3d without any system files in it, and I tried to install back stock rom, searchin and tourin xda and some other websites, i do get a lot of downloadable contents and methods.

But it didnt work, which means I put the zip files(gsm arabic shipped gingerbread stock rom extracted from ruu), which renamed as PG86IMG.zip onto the root of sd card, but the bootloader failed scan the zip.

Tried to install it from recovery, but shows bad file.

I even tried the boot boot.img method which some nice guy posting here, but it won't works for me.:crying:

And even tried to relocked the phone and installed from ruu exe via usb, but it stops halfway and shows error update.
