Thanks for this, an earlier guide proved problematic since the build.prop edits didn't seem to be recognized. I have this working fine now mostly just wanted to check it out something new is always fun to play around with. For those sorta wondering what 'Home' is all about its basically a lockscreen app in the sense that its the first thing you see when you turn on your screen. Facebook posts are fullscreen with text and photos so it feels more immersive than if scrolling through the normal facebook app. It doesn't completely lock you out of Sense it has a 3 way swipe gesture one of which returns you to sense however any time you hit your home button you will be directed to the app interface. If this were just a lockscreen setup and home button still took me to Sense I could see myself keeping this permanently since you can access messenger right from the main screen and it now supports SMS. Hate it or love it though the app itself is very innovative and hopefully software developers will take notice and spawn more immersive apps such as this.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gzbrambila:
Yep, sorry. Didn't get the concept. This still didn't work for me. Found another thread w a modified Home App as well, and that did it.

But after using it for 1 day, I found it stupid. The feed is just too limited. Can't filter the info or refresh it. And now I have to take more than 3 steps to do the same thing. For instance, to open maps - click screen, drag to open app drawer, flip to right folder, click map app. W/o this - click map app, done.

And chatheads, which are kind of cool, come w the new Messenger even w/o Home, so don't see the point on having Home.

Lastly, I turned on my cell and the first thing there was a picture of a girl friend of mine, and my girlfriend, which was seated next to me, saw that and was like "who's that ***** as your wallpaper?". So thanks Home for the drama. And thanks Obama!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xlxcrossing:
Exactly, works great as a lockscreen but needs more of an easy escape from it to get back to sense. Wish you could just swipe to sense without the home button bringing you back to the app. It works best as the first thing you see when u turn on your phone and less well as something you always have to return to.

Does anyone have any idea of how to root the Unnecto Quattro? I've tried everything, but nothing seems to work...

...and before you ask about the [UTIL][WIN][MT65xx] MTK Droid Root & Tools thread, my Android version, 2.3.5 don't seem to work with the tools. If anyone has any idea of how to root the device, I'd be grateful.

PS: See enclosed attachments to see why I am so frustrated (one is a screenshot of a conversation I had to try and fix the issue with Unnecto support and another is the build prop, which I hope may be able to help some of you solve my problem)...

I could get my hand on these 2 devices and even cheaper than offered here (got friend in china)

http://android-sale.com/hdc-galaxy-s4.html

http://android-sale.com/goophone-n2...-mt6589-8mp-camera-1gb-ram-android-phone.html

they both have MT6589 CPU and I would grab them easily if only ONE person from this goddamn HDC would speak proper English.

what would I want:

1. root

2. firmware flash in case of shi*

3. CWM maybe ..

I have seen that many devices with MTK have been rooted, specially those Galaxy S3 clones, even 5-6 different kinds

If anyone could at least point me in right direction, that would be nice, cause I could grab these phones for less than 140$ a piece.

thank you all in advance.

Yeah, I rushed for no reason - ZOPO leader ZP900 is the phone to take. ZP900 already has community support, is not a clone (almost original design) , and people are giving positive feedback. these 2 are clones, and being that, they would never "live" long enough for people to take interest in them.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RiotShielder:
So I am not a huge veteran with ROMs and such, and I would like to know of a good ROM and kernel to flash on my GS3.

I use my phone mostly for web browsing, e-mail, light gaming, reading, and listening to music. I like the look of Touch Wiz, but I'll try anything. I would prefer a clean ROM, as in one with no bloat what-so-ever. And I have no idea about the kernel, whatever would work good with the ROM would be nice.

I would appreciate links, and thanks for reading.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Android Attack:
This thread will most likely be closed, as the productiveness of a ROM and Kernel depend on usage. (How good a ROM is cannot really be judged, as it varies for everyone.) However, I am ready to provide some guidance. I like TouchWiz and its features, but I have found AOSP to be more responsive. For example, in my case, swiping through homescreens or the app drawer seems to be quicker for me on AOSP. I have also found better battery life on AOSP. You lose many features like the eye tracker when switching to AOSP. For me, that wasn't too big of a deal. So here's my current setup:

ROM: SlimBean Build 3 4.2.2

Kernel: dkp 4.2.x

Kernel Settings Adjuster: Trickster MOD

My goal when installing a ROM/Kernel is maximum battery life with good performance. I am not a heavy user, so I am undervolted -75MPU (I believe MPU is the correct unit) each step and I underclock at 1080MHz. At these settings, I still experience a smooth, quick performance along with a great battery life. With the dkp kernel, I use Trickster MOD (Refer to links above for link).

Good luck on finding what you're looking for! There are many great devs here on XDA. All of their ROMs and Kernels provide the best experience with your device! It all just depends how you use your SIII! Have fun! :D

Hi

So after i flashed new rom ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1980122 that one) and m2sd, i made a first boot. Normal htc logo and then "android is updating" and some stuff with apps (m2sd prodably) and after the app thing is done the phone rebotted and then stuck on boot. After like an hour of waiting (bad decision) i decided to take the battery off. After that the same thing happened and i have done the same. After that i tried to boot it one more time but no response now, not even htc logo, nothing except some repetative vibrating after ''re-putting" the battery. Even the led isnt working while charging. What should i do, now?

Of course my phone is s-off and rotted, that wasnt my first rom.

I hope you will help a beginner, sorry for some grammar mistakes im not a native English. :p

[Motorola Atrix HD] bconcio:
I've been researching and trying to fix this problem all day and no luck so I need some help.

I unlocked my Atrix HD the other day and was back on stock and everything was working fine. I uninstalled SS3 because I planned on installing CWM soon. I was deleting some bloat, just the AT&T stuff, nothing important, via Titanium Backup when my phone froze and I couldn't do anything. The phone eventually restarted and it now has been stuck at the Unlocked Bootloader warning screen. It cannot go past that at all. I can get to stock recovery and fastboot. I tried to go into fastboot and flash stock per these http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2226527 instructions and I am getting errors everywhere. I tried to flash stock via RSD and it failed and now it won't recognize the phone. I have all the drivers and everything obviously since I unlocked. Can anyone help me and let me know what I can do??

Can I flash anything from the stock recovery?

EDIT: I managed to install CWM. Now I just am getting an "Error mounting /sdcard" message that's preventing me from getting to my backup.
[Motorola Atrix HD] TTLayland:
Ouch.... sorry to hear it mate. System apps shouldn't be messed with.
[Motorola Atrix HD] bconcio:
I was deleting all the AT&T crap and made sure there wasn't anything important. I must have caught something bad by accident.
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Manually flash the stock kernel and devtree -- any of them -- and that should fix the sdcard error. I suspect that a lot of the CM errors are from using the RAZR HD's CM kernel and the Atrix HD devtree.

This next idea might not work if you're having mount issues, but its easier if fastboot is giving you hell.

Since you have cwm working, you can sideload this zip with the Mex Retail kernel and devtree, or follow that posts instructions and swap with the stock kernel\devtree of your preference.

Once in CWM, select install from sideload then on the PCs Command Line type "adb sideload /path/to/zipfile"

I love sideload -- best feature ever.
[Motorola Atrix HD] bconcio:
I tried all that a few times but I was getting errors too, but probably my fault somewhere. Anyway, I ended up reinstalling drivers and got stock to install in RSD. I don't know why it didn't work the first time but after 7 hours of trying other methods, the RSD flash worked and everything is running fine now.

Thanks for the help!

Seems you have a bit old ROM and RSU ... you better check with one in your area but I see here some people have either TMO 4.01.00 + 6.24 or AT&T 30.09 + A30 and they are on Cingular. The right bandwidth setting is the key factor.

The official update from AT&T should be OK ... however, you device is better to be PW10B type (check the rear sticker) these upgrades were made for USA use.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Mavrik:
Also, if you are in the Cingular 850Mhz only zone, you wont be able to catch signal, cause none of the RSU's will support this band.... (quite unfortunate for all of us in North America)

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] decepticon:
Quite unfortunate indeed. What are the chances that AT&T will release one in the future to make it compatible with Cingular 850 networks after the merger?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] doc:
I still think there is a way to tune a digital device to another frequency. AT&T has a deal on these for $99.99 and it was just bought out by Cingular. It would be logical that Siemens has something in the mix an upgraded model, different freq. etc.

Doc
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] decepticon:
That's what I am thinking. I am a Cingular employee so I bought one to put on my ERP but I can only use AT&T and T-Mobile signals at the moment.

I am 100% certain that it is possible to get the device to work on 850, more than likely just restricted in the radio stack.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] doc:
You are lucky!! I have six phones through Cingular and they have been trying to get me a Treo 600 since December!! I'd prefer a windows based device hence my reason for buying a SX56. I had no way to know it would not work on Cingular. All the ads I see for unlocked phones claim they will work on any GSM carrier with an active SIM card.

Obviously it doesn't work hence my involvement in all of this!!

Doc
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] cruisin-thru:
It is possible that somebody has got cingular sim to work on 850, if they were in close proximity to a mast maybe the 50mhz wouldnt mean too much and a signal could be acquired, but you would still be using a phone detuned by 50mhz which isnt an ideal situation.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] doc:
I'm not an expert but 50mhz is a pretty big difference in frequency. The splash over from 800 to 850 or 900 to 850 is pretty big. It probably would not work very well even a few feet away from the site where it functions. Still there has to be a way to to tune one of these to 850mhz.

Doc
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] erickbryce:
re: the 850 tunning question, As far as I understand this is a hardware aspect of the radio, thus you can not tune to this freq. This is also the reason AT&T did not brand the XDA II, because HTC would not impliment 850 into the device. You are more likely to see a HP6300 or MPx in this department as they are both quadband phones (meaning 850 implimentation) the real question is, will either of these phones be EDGE enabled? My quess is the HP will but the MPx will not. Reasoning: Rumor was HP was using TI Ref design WANDA. TI make EDGE hardware for phones. TI processor may be in the HP phone. The bottom line is you will need new hardware for 850 or EDGE. Sorry for the bad news, I too would love to be proved wrong. Guess I'll have to pony the dough for one of these two new devices. I really loved my HTC device but if they aren't going to keep up...I have no choice. I still feel the XDA will be a better over all device, but without 850 & EDGE implimentation it's going to fall way short. It's nice to own a Corvet, but if a Honda goes faster...why buy the brand name. :cry:

I think I mentioned this before, but the reception on the phone is much weaker than it was just a week or two ago. Basically, I unlocked the phone with the 2002 special edition ROM, borrowed a friend's Cingular sim, and went around Seattle. Signal strength was pretty good, sometimes very good.

Yesterday I converted over my lines (3 of them) to Cingular, and popped the sim in, and it gets mostly 1-2 bars wherever I go. The funny thing is that I don't seem to be getting any interference, and haven't had any problems making a call yet, even when there's only 1 or even no bars.

I have an SX 56 in Memphis, TN and also am a Cingular customer. Got phone unlocked, but can only pick up ATT & T Mobile. Cingular must still be 850mhz, here. Fortunately,with the new GSM Nation plan you can roam to your hearts content so just use the ATT network.

Has anyone gotten it to work on cingular? I am having the same problems (no signal on cingular) as most of you. I am in South Florida. Please help me....thanks
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] kirkwood:
Well, bad bad news.... :oops: :x :oops: :x :oops: :x :oops: :x

I finally have completed my full test of everything above and it is not going to work.

I downloaded and installed successfully the new software from the Siemens website for AT&T.

I brought the SX56 to an AT&T store, waited my 30 minutes in line for them to help me, and when they finally did, the phone works perfectly using an AT&T SIM card. Full strength signal no problem (they had a cell tower on top of the building)

Then I drove all the way back to Cingular and told them the whole story a second time, and the customer rep there told me it just ain't gonna work.

The reason he gave is that it is the SIM card that is hardwired to search for the 850/1900 band, what cingular is using. AT&T's sims are still programmed to use the 900/1900 band. So the 1900 signal has to be paired with the proper lower frequency for GSM to work.

It really seems like a bunch of baloney to me, but he said it was the SIM card, and there is no way around that. Eventually down the road when AT&T changes their network to the 850Mhz as well due to their merger with Cingular, they will slowly replace the 900Mhz to 850Mhz, and the phone will be obsolete for AT&T as well.

So my advice is to resell the device on Ebay and advertise it as AT&T and T-Mobile only. When we bought it, it was a lie and these phones are only working in very specific markets where Cingular has some kind of agreement. Apparently in Miami it is not going to work.

If I find out more I shall return.....
