[General Questions and Answers] fletcher6490:
Alright, here I go. So there is this new company coming out that is offering $49/month unlimited everything without a contract. Now, they have a list of phones that are compatible with their service via a SIM card you buy from them. They are running on a GSM network and they say that Verizon and Sprint phones will not work because the are CDMA. Now, would it be possible for a rooted Verizon or Sprint phone to work? I'm thinking it would be because you can change what type of network you're on with a rooted phone with quite a few different apps. It's also possible for people to buy a Verizon phone, root it and run it on T-Mobile or ATT.

I'd like to believe doing this is possible but obviously you experts on this forum know way more than I do so I thought I would ask here.

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
No, not possible. CDMA uses different technology. Even if you have an unlocked Verizon Iphone, it will only work overseas, not in the United States.
[General Questions and Answers] fletcher6490:
Damn, that sucks. I was really hoping it was possible to do. This company also has a great compensation plan for bringing in new customers and I was really hoping to use this to my advantage.

Thanks for the reply lowandbehold
[General Questions and Answers] zenEd:
you are able to buy a rooted T-Mobile compatible phone on Ebay from reputable sellers. what network are you trying to hook up to? it seems like a very good price.
[General Questions and Answers] fletcher6490:
The company is called Solavei, which runs on the T-Mobile network. Yes, it's a very good price. It's also a great opportunity to make money.

If you want to take a look at what they have to offer I created a site with information bestcellcompany.com

The reason I was asking the original question was because if it was actually possible to use a rooted Verizon or Sprint phone on the Solavei network, it would be pretty huge and I could use that info to my advantage.

Thanks for the replies guys :laugh:

re SOLAVEI

I was looking for a nice way to get the info to the guys here about, "solavei.com/marathon2422" as i am an avid user of omega roms on my S3 gt19300, and used lots of roms on my gt 19100, i was hoping maybe to "payback" some of my use of roms and info and help from here.

This is of course only good for those in the USA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Astriaal:
Galaxy Note i717r, AOCP 2.1, Rogers Canada

I don't imagine anyone using AOCP 2.1 has had issues with sending large SMS's ( >160 chars ) at all?

I can send individual short text messages fine ( up to 160 chars ), call, data, everything works great. But I can't for the life of me send large SMS and/or have it convert to MMS. I called up Rogers support just in case and all my APN settings are as they should be, and I can send an MMS fine if I just try to attach a picture for example.

This is a problem in particular since the current version of AOCP 2.1 I'm using no longer has the option to split text messages every 160 characters. The default behaviour is to convert X SMS Messages into an MMS, but no matter where I set the split ( after 0, 1, 2, 3 messages etc ) I cannot send ANY text that is >160 characters.

When I try I get an alert ( Red Triangle with ! in the middle ) saying "Message not sent" but it DOES send, only it's only the first 160 characters.

I would post this in the Dev thread to request a return of the split every 160 chars option but I haven't posted enough I guess to allow me to do so.

I really appreciate all the work The Collective has done and I love the ROM except for this one particular issue. It's frustrating enough considering how much I text that I'm considering going back to AOCP 1 just to get the functionality back. I've fully wiped ( 3x everything ) and re-installed AOCP 2 & 2.1 at least 10+ times while trying to figure this ( and other issues with encryption ) out and the behaviour is exactly the same.

Am I missing something or is this a product of my carrier or APN settings maybe? Anyone else have this issue?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LemonNinja:
So I've been dying to try out the CM10 ROM but I found out the usual flashing doesn't work since I'm on the newest HBOOT, but if I flash an older rooted version of a stock ROM will it also put me on the older HBOOT so that I could flash it the usual way?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cloaker:
As far as I know, it isn't possible yet. Just don't do any ota updates.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] premo15:
No, the ROM is separate from the bootloader. You can fastboot flash a kernel with the new hboot (which you'll need to do for cm10) by following the instructions in this thread:

Sorry to open up such an old threat, but i have simmular issues as mentiont above.

Ive gone to hell and back, getting my phone ( a MT6582 Lenovo A3600d ) rooted and TWRP on it, working and all. Yea im a prood noob.. !

But now im stuck. Ive put some compattible rom on my empty and formatted sdcard. Ive done all the flashing that is required to finally install the rom, but TWRP wont see the zip file.

Its in the root of my SD in the correct zip format etc. When i go to the TWRP file manager i also cant locate it. Eventho it tells me its reading of the sd card and not the internal memory. It will only display the maps and show some txt files. Dont know if thats normal. These are the only actuall items/lines i can see pop up.

Furthermore in "Mount" it wont let me check the box "Ext-SDcard", all the others i can check. Is this where the problem lies ? Ive removed the card and formatted it and put the rom zip file back on it a few times through my desktopcardreader.

Since ive allready flashed the phone its completly empty, only the TWRP recovery is accesable.

Am i missing something ? Any help would be greatly apprishiated :)

Try to use CWM, you can make it through MTK Droid Tools (I kinda forget the name)

1.Download it

2.Obtain superuser access.(make sure usb debugging and usb drivers installed.

3.Goto the second tab

4.select backup and kill the process after seeing boot.img being backed up.

5.again to the second tab.

6 .select 'To choose from the boot.img file'

7.Go to the backup folder.

8.select phone model.

9.choose boot.img

10.click yes on every pop up box.

11.done.

CWM works flawlessly on my Lenovo A3600D.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fzammetti:
Hi all,

On my Epic 4G I used to do a lot of tweaking to get good performance and one of those tweaks was to change the SD cache size from the default 128Kb to 1024Kb. My question is whether that's still a relevant or useful on the GS3?

I'm running stock, rooted, with no other tweaks (other than disabling apps and some developer setting changes). I was thinking of flipping to the higher cache size in ROM Toolbox but I wasn't sure it was something that still matters on a GS3... I don't know how the OS treats the various partitions (vis a vis, would this boost performance on extSdCard, or both internal and external, or neither).

Not that my GS3 is hurting for performance by any stretch of course, it's a beast already :) But hey, every little bit helps, and I especially like the types of tweaks you can do without dropping a new kernel and/or ROM... I used to go through custom ROMs like a fat guy through an all-you-can-eat buffet but these days I prefer staying as close to stock as possible, and the GS3 is the first device I've had where that's actually viable being so damned fast and smooth out-of-the-box :)

Thanks,

Frank
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fzammetti:
FYI, a quick test on this SEEMS to indicate it's a bad idea... I ran AndroBench with the default 128Kb and got the expected beastly numbers... I then changed to 1024Kb and ran it again... or more precisely I TRIED to run it again: AndroBench wouldn't even start the test suite, even after a couple or forced closes and retries. It may just be something specific to AndroBench, or it may point to the GS3 not liking that cache value, but I wasn't able to even confirm if there was a performance change either way.

So, unless someone knows differently, I'm leaving the cache setting at its default value, just to be safe.

[HTC EVO 3D] beneath-a-burning-turtle:
You don't need it on your EVO. That's the basic framework of the rom, you don't need to update anything

Since, like me, you're s-on, you need to extract the boot.img from the rom, place it in your fastboot directory, and use fastboot to flash the boot.IMG

Fastboot flash boot boot.img

Hi all,

I'm definitely new at this and trying to learn, I was playing with a ROM that included almost no AT&T bloatware and I'm on Telus S3 in Canada.

I found that when selecting contacts either through Phone or from Contacts directly, I get ATT Subscriber popups and its sometimes not timing out and I can't access my contacts. I tried swapping out the SecContacts and SecContactsProvider within the ROM with the stock ones from a Telus ROM, but after rebooting, it says I don't have the Phone or Contacts apps installed. If anyone can suggest what else is required to change to fix this any help would be great!

Hello all: posted this elsewhere, perhaps on wrong page. lots of views, alas no replies. Perhaps nobody loves me....

***********************************************************************************************************************

After a bit of research I've just bought a Nook ST Glow in the UK. I've read forums and watched YouTube videos of rooting these devices by various methods.

I then came across some forums about CM7.

Now if I understand this correctly, and apologies if I don't (I'm very new to Nook and Android), you can prepare a microSD card with a version of Android OS, pop it into the Nook and boot from that card to access the Android Market etc. The big advantage (for me at least) is to be able to remove the card and boot the Nook back into standard ebook reader functionality.

I have spent a couple of hours reading through XDA posts but haven't stumbled upon any posts about Nook ST Glow and CM7.

******************************************

So, my noobie question is simple: Can I configure a microSD card with an OS and files that will boot my Nook ST Glow into the unlocked Android world.

******************************************

Any advice or pointing in the right direction much appreciated.

[Nook Touch General] bobstro:
You are probably reading about the bootable CM7/CM9 uSD cards for the NOOK Tablet and/or NOOK Color. Those, sadly, are not for the NOOK Simple Touch or the NSTG, which you have.

Rooting your NSTG will give you access to the Android Market. Keep in mind, the device only runs Android 2.1 Eclair, so a lot of software simply won't work. BE SURE to only follow procedures for the NSTG. The procedures for rooting the NSTG are not the same as for the NC, NT or even the NST.

Be sure to back up your device before you try anything. If you screw up badly, it can be very difficult to recover some of the device-specific info.
[Nook Touch General] craighew:
Thanks for the reply Bobstro. I've read a lot about rooting the GLow, and have downloaded what I think I need from a couple of excellent articles on it (using Glownooter).

To be honest, I'm only after Sudoku and perhaps a good chess program. nothing much else (I have an excellent Blackberry for all other comms etc) so the risks involved with rooting (it all seems to "cluncky") seem to outweigh the benefits.

Thats why the option of a bootable MicroSD card seemed so attractive. Ah well, thanks for the information.....
[Nook Touch General] bobstro:
Rooting is not all that big a deal if you're cautious and follow instructions well. I've rooted my two NSTs several times each with few problems. I have only loaded a few additional apps myself. My rooting focus was more on power savings (running Tasker) and time sync (using ClockSync) when I travel.
[General Questions and Answers] darkness122:
basically i pulled the internal hardrive of my desktop which crashed, and just got an enclosure for it.

i backed everything up, but after formatting it I just remembered i didn't save my bookmarks.

because of the Chrome app, I signed into my browser in order to sync my bookmarks between my phone and desktop, including open tabs. however, the last sync was like 2 months ago, because the computers been dead for a bit and I only now got around to getting a harddrive enclosure.

basically what im asking is, is there a way for me to restore my bookmarks without a file from the harddrive that contained chrome? like is it backed up somewhere on my google account?

So for a year ive had the International Galaxy Nexus YAKJU that i bought off a guy on craigslist.

It seems that i miss alot of calls and i notice sometimes when i turn my phone on the signals are grey for a little bit, then turn blue. Also it will have no bars (still in service apparently just no bars) And then when a split second when the screen is on, the bars quickly appear. I dont know if im just crazy, and ATT sucks. Or if the couple drops that occured on the phone could of possible screwed up the radio or whatever affects reception. Another thing that i find weird, is after updating to JB, my phones top back corner by the camera gets super hot when the phone is being used.

Ive already tried a brand new sim card and multiple wipes\roms\stock etc. Another thing is i dont get anywhere near the screen on\battery life that i see other people using the same ROM\Kernel setups. So i ended up just purchasing a new Google Play Store GNEX online.

Im planning on comparing the differences in signal strength and battery life of the two phones.

My question for you guys is do you reccomend i root and flash a custom rom right away on the new nexus, or do you think that will alter my results?
