I don't imagine it'll do any harm. You'd only need root permission which you should have already. Also you are not overwriting the kernel or anything hardware related, and as long as the backups coincide with the version of android you're using you should be fine. Just do a nandroid backup if anything.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jbaumert:
Restoring apps and data shouldn't hurt anything. Someone else may chime in, but restoring "system apps" could possibly interfere. I never had a problem when restoring when upgrading versions of the same ROM (i.e. v19 to v20 of "peetr_'s)
[Motorola Photon 4G] InsanePostman:
Well I made the update from Peetr_s v19 to 20 using the original method in question without any problems. But I guess I meant that maybe since different roms use different launchers there may somehow a confliction there.. I suppose since I have the backups flashing whatever I want shouldnt hurt since I can always revert back to what I have right?
[Motorola Photon 4G] hoslayer13:
Exactly. The worst that could happen is a repeated force close if something. And if you have a backup (CWM or TWRP), restoring would make it as if it never happened

read in the developers section , you cant change to a picture background that I know of but you can change the color , it is in registry but you'll have to look for it ,theres several posts on it use the search button!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dinchy87:
if you have ansars ROM i think it has an registry editor, you can edit the registry entries in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > ControlPanel > Themes > 0 White theme or > 1 Black theme. select lets say 0 > tap on BaseThemeColor (thats the background behind the tiles)> and change "Value data" from #FFFFFF to #FF**** (any hex color code you want) just search on the internet an hex color code table or use the colors free app in the marketplace where you can select an color in an RGB spectrum and then see the hex code, it is only 6 letters long like 7a3b32 but DONT forget to enter the first two FF before the #. because if you dont enter the first two FF the device will don display anything and you can not revert it back if you change your accents for example to EE7a3b32 < that doesnt work and you must then hard reset you device to get it back but you loose all your data, FF7a3b32 is right. and if the color dont change after you exit the registry app restart your device then it should display!

i have tried to edit the accent color without the two FF before the hex code, because FF means full saturation, no opacity, AA is something like 100% opacity, i tried to enter DD something like 60-70% opacity but my device has nothing to display and i coulndt enter anymore my settings, i can not change the accent, because the registry for colors here work only with FF. the only exception is the one code at the bottom in the themes folder it is for the transparent tab in the people hub, and there you can only add something like AA

[LG Optimus Black] xonar_:
Don't buy Motorola they come with locked bootloader.

Don't buy the 3gs its overpriced.

Some of those Xperia's are really good priced for the hardware you get. ( here at least) I don't know how their community is though.

Samsung is always a good choice. Just make sure to go for one that has official ICS upgrade.

The Nexus S is a very good choice. Bugless ASOP.

Don't buy the HTC One V. It's got buggy bluetooth even on the official ROM.

Lg takes their time with updates, but their updates are really good quality.

I don't think any of those phones justify spending that much on a phone. It's not that much better. Why is it you want to change? Some of those phones are even with the optimus black. The Optimus Black is BETTER than some of those phones.

Hi i was just wondering i live in Australia and am looking to purchase a razr m that supports all networks here. I am a little confused as to which model supports which frequencies, is there a model of the razr m which supports wcdma 850/900/2100 and also 4g 1700mhz? Could someone please help me?
[Droid RAZR M General] freak4dell:
Telestra will have a RAZR M in November. I'm not sure if it supports the 1700MHz band for 4G or not. I don't think it will, because their RAZR HD does not.

GSM Arena says there is a RAZR M coming that supports 1700MHz LTE, but I have not been able to find any more information about this.

I think a RAZR M will be released in Japan, too, because it's mentioned on their website. However, it's not listed when you go to the list of all the phones, and I can't read Japanese, so I don't know what it says on the Flash animation where it does mention the M. I think Japan does use 1700MHz for 3G, but I'm not sure what they use for 4G.

Anyway, as far as I know, there is no currently available M that supports the 1700MHz frequency at all. If somebody finds one, please let us know.
[Droid RAZR M General] morgs640:
Pretty sure i saw somewhere (http://www.cnet.com.au/telstra-selling-4g-motorola-razr-hd-razr-m-coming-in-november-339341828.htm) that the Telstra one will support 4g. The only issue i have is i really doubt it will have an unlockable bootloader which i really want. What do you think the chances of being able to unlock the supposedly unlockable ones will be?
[Droid RAZR M General] morgs640:
also just checked Telstra uses 1800mhz not 1700 for their 4g

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SeparateElite:
How can I get my stock kernel back? Or does flashing a ROM change the kernel? I don't really understand kernels yet in terms of compatibility, and such. I just don't want to brick my phone, so I'm making sure I do it right.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dante32278:
Roms usually involve a kernel already built in, check the OP description.

For example if you are on cm10 and flash the ktoonsez aosp kernel, then later flash a nightlie build, the kernel will be overwritten with the one built in cm10. You have to reflash the ktoonsez again afterwards if you want to use it.

So if you want stock kernel, flash a stock ROM with built in stock kernel.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DrgnRebrn:
Make sure the kernel you flash is sourced from the same source as your ROM, ie any TouchWiz LG8 ROM needs to have an LG8-sourced kernel - custom or stock.

I'm jumping and starting to develop for this device and just got the mount points. This is for anyone else that cares :silly:
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] kinfauns:
Not to pick nits here, but those are actually the partition names -> device names. I hope you don't mind if I hijack your thread temporarily, but I think the following information is related.

Earlier this evening, a friend of mine let me borrow her KFHD for a few days with a "you break it, you bought it" proviso. Naturally, I've been playing around with it a bit. ;)

I've also been looking at the way the storage space has been laid out on the KFHD. I think the most interesting change for most people will be the way the userdata partition is being used. I haven't seen this information posted anywhere, so I just wanted to share for the curious.

On the original KF, there are separate userdata and media partitions. The userdata partition gets mounted on /data and it's used mostly to store apps, settings, etc. The media partition gets mounted on /sdcard and that's used to store movies, music, books and other large files.

For the KFHD, the media partition is gone and the bulk of the storage space has been allotted to the userdata partition. That partition still gets mounted on /data, but /data now also contains a media directory. The KFHD then uses /data/media as the root for a virtual filesystem that gets mounted on /sdcard.

There have been at least a few users who mentioned repartitioning the original KF to get more space for apps by sacrificing space on /sdcard and vice versa. No such tradeoffs are required on the KFHD, because all of the user's files now get stored on one filesystem. As a result, the storage space gets a chance to be used more efficiently. I just thought that was a very tidy solution and an upgrade to the way things were done in the original.

Now, to get somewhat back on topic, here are the partition table details for the KFHD...

# parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 print

If you are on the 2013 that makes more sense, the system image on a 2013 model you pull can't fit in fastboot's buffer so it would be useless, though I don't get why it thought it was sparsed, it shouldn't have been.

Yes, it is the 2013 edition. Now it is stuck at the boot logo (color Kindle Fire). It has ADB and fastboot recognition and I have a factory cable.

Any suggestions on how to unbrick this device using fastboot ??:(
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
There are 2 reasons we can't do this, one is because even if we adjusted it we have no way to sign the new uboot so the device would hard brick upon flashing. The second reason is the buffer the file gets stored on is the devices ram. In this case the system image is around 1.3 GB, while the kindle only has 1gb of ram so there's a physical limitation.

Good news is this was recently developed: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2685090

It should restore it as long as you can get it into fastboot. Because of the fastboot buffer limitation, this pushes a partial resized system image that has just enough file to boot up, then pushes a amazon update to the device and forces it to update the system partition to a full os. Its really clever.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
His system image is flashable because of some modifying he did, though I'm not sure if he included the matching boot image and recovery that goes with it, I'll check on it in a bit.

Good luck trying to get any help here. It seems that devs lost interest in this range of devices about 5 years ago, when Amazon locked down most of the exploits they had discovered.

Now they just leave all these threads up unmodified, like they still work, and let folks brick their devices adn walk away.

BTW how did you manage to root your Tate ? I used KingRoot which was a very bad idea. If I ever manage to get into recovery and restore this to stock I would like another method to root the device.
