[Motorola Droid RAZR] tridentcore:
Hi guys, this my first thread as newbie dummie, a very new user in rooted user.

Sorry if my English is no good.. Well I have several question for flashing and freezing apps.

I'm using Motorola RAZR MAXX with Stock 4.0.4 rooted (with EternityProject) Retail ASIA (Indonesian)

I'm curious when freezed Motorola Services (with App Quarantine) it's keep running in background when i check with OS Monitor.

I've checked with ROM ToolBox Pro with Advanced Freeze feature, Motorola Services has a bloated handlers which is I think to keep the process alive. Is it safe to total freeze..?

As a Newbie (just said I dumb newbie hahahaha...) I'm just worried to disable the critical system app. Even according to this thread below

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2176346,

([MOD ROM] [DeBlur - DeBloat] Motorola Razr XT910 - Remove unnecessary Apps & services)

marked as green to freeze but I didn't see Motorola Services in there. Most of them is already freezed in my phone.

And secondly about flashing, I wanna flashing my XT910 but as a newbie there's A LOT question as you will know already right. Well after I look around finding the replacement ROM for my Stock ROM (even I didn't plan to delete my Stock ROM, just a backup ROM in case the custom ROM gone wild or crashed). I've found Avatar ROM and MIUI ROM is my candidate according to user feedback and video demo on YouTube also built-in features. And my question is about partitioning with BMM in ROM slots.

If I wanna activate a 2nd slot for my Custom ROM, is the Stock ROM usage partition will be affected with BMM 2nd slot partitioning..? Well I kinda unclear about dual-boot system in Android, is it just same with we do in PC (Windows and Linux for example) common paralel multi-boot system or something else..? Still can't find a tutorial for a very newbie user, even I already understand the major step.

UPDATE 3rd question

I didn't know in 2.3 Gingerbread because I instantly update to 4.0 ICS hours after buy this RAZR MAXX, everytime I install and remove apps the system is feel lag so much. CPU Widget shown 90%-100% CPU usage for about 10 seconds or more, I can't do anything after that. Is there somekind bug or because I didn't do Factory Reset after / before update to ICS..? Right now the lag is kinda feel better (maybe 50% lag less) after I freeze major useless system app and cleaning Dalvik Cache with Titanium Backup. Anyone feel the same..?

Maybe that's all in my head right now, as a newbie dummie hahahaha...

As newbie and RAZR is my only phone, I just don't want to messed up with.

Thanks a lot...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] TheMrcool212:
Sorry, I can't answer your first question. Because i have never remove an app or services from a Stock ROM, Other than that, i don't have this phone anymore. But I can help with your second question

Yes, it is just like dual-booting Linux-Windows. The Stock ROM partition will not affected by 2nd partition, you can choose ROM slot you want to boot when you reboot your phone.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tridentcore:
well I didn't plan to remove the system app, just lockdown (complete freezed) prevent running in the background. Motorola Services kinda battery hog everytime. Kinda shock after I relized Motorola RAZR has 40+ bloatware installed (damn...!!!)

I've added 3rd question, just remembered now, forgot to ask in the first post.

Thanks for the answer dude, I will try it now...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] TheMrcool212:
Try to update it to 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. It had just released few months ago. You can always fastboot back to Stock ROM using RSD Lite if you have bricked / messed up your phone.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] tridentcore:
okey.. thanks again bro... I will try Avatar ROM...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tridentcore:
okey this is maybe a silly question, even right now still not flashing Avatar ROM or MIUI for my XT910 MAXX..

after look and read all of the coresponding thread of each ROM, I saw the 2nd partition (or 2nd slot) is the WebTop partition for the XT910 (am I right..?)

and if I wanna flashing custom ROM to the 2nd slot, even I already backed up.. May I destroy the dependencies between WebTop and my Stock ROM..? And until now I still didn't know is Avatar ROM or MIUI can be flashed to the 3rd slot using BMM, most of users using Safestrap and using 1st slot (that's mean the Stock ROM is replaced with Custom ROM right..?), well I prefer dual-boot system.

I'm just being dummie here, really scared to flash if I bricked my only phone because this is my only phone to work and being connected to all my mate. All I want is stable ROM and long life development. Stock ROM from Motorola is so horrible, countless lag, bunch of useless bloatwares and everything you hate for an Stock ROM.

More question may came after this...

I am getting time outs when I try to download mail over a VPN. Is it possible to extend the time out period on the XDA2 either by the registry or any other settings.

I can ping the server within a 3 second period of time so increasing the time out to about 4 or 5 seconds should clear the issue I am thinking.

I know I've seen something with custom ROMs sometimes only showing partial RAM availability but I can't find anything on stock.

I did find some information on the Atrix4g having 200mb dedicated to the webtop, is this somehow related?

I was having issues with my TF700 so I did a factory reset, and reinstalled CM 10.1. Unfortunately now the play store was updated to 4.0.26. I think this version is horrible so I uninstalled the updates to it resetting it back to 3.10.14. Cool, except that it keeps silently upgrading back to 4.0.26 after a while. Is there any way to stop it from doing this? Thanks.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] -sandro-:
Hello,

I'm about to get the i9305, I basically got that I need to stay with the samsung roms to have a fully working device with no bugs.

Even though I'm not a fan of touchwiz (in fact I prefer stock Android) I could try some ROMs (not based on stock) but I read that they will never work properly due to lack of sources code. What are the things missing or that will never work?

I'm coming from the LG O2X that drove me crazy cause the stock roms sucked sooo much and we (users) had the same problem but custom roms with NVIDIA!

I'm going with this phone cause it's the only one I know that gives me:

- good battery life among latest smartphones

- 2GB of RAM

- REMOVABLE BATTERY

- 42Mbit in 3G

for that price. So maybe I thought that having touchwiz is the price to pay to have these specs at this price.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] TheMrcool212:
Well, most of the ROMs for the Galaxy S3 I9300/I9305 are stable. Because the developers make the ROM based on the official update from Samsung. If you want a stock looking ROM, install ROMs based on AOSP like CyanogenMod, AOKP and Paranoid Android. AOSP ROMs are fast because it is light, no bloatware. AOSP ROMs are quite stable though.

Other than ROMs, there is also some custom kernels, Most of them are also stable. To me, I like the Perseus kernel by AndreiLux because it saves my battery life. The highest I have got are about 2 days unplugged with 5 hours of on screen time.

If I remove bloatware (if possible) from Sammys ROMS will they be as fast?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Harthouse:
No problems with Sammy based ROMs, so don't worry. They are stable and smooth. Use Titanium or other (root) uninstaller to remove bloatware! On benchmark tests, you will get lower results comparing to 4.2.2 ROMs, but you won't noticed that in everyday usage! I am the one who loves CM based ROMs, but some problems with network are good reason for not using them at the moment. :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Glebun:
you will notice the difference, AOSP ROMs will be smoother than debloated Sammy ROMs, so the choice is yours

Morning all,

My daughter is using my sons old Verizon Fascinate,

The phone is rooted and running a very old custom rom, not sure what one it is buts it is real buggy, lots of random reboots, random no rings, random vibrate for no reason, etc

I want to flash a different rom fro here so the phone is usable again until she can get a new phone,

Im a HTC so Im asking all of you Samsung guys for advice.

What is the most stable stable rom I can DL and install for her so the phone works as it should,

stability is more important then anything custom or cutting edge.

I would believe the flashing process is the same for the Sammy's as the HTC

Reboot into recovery

factory reset

wipe everything

flash rom

setup account/phone

dont restore any data

let it settle down for a while

enjoy

Does anyone use Winampaq? If so, have you managed to use any of the Winamp 2.x skins?

I'm having trouble trying to use them. Basically, I put the relevant skin (.wsz) file in a folder, but when I use the browse function on Winampaq, the list only shows the folders and not what is contained within each folder :(

Any ideas?

Many thanx
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
change the wsz extention to zip and unzip the files to a dir

and point to that dir using winampaq

and they all work at least all the skins i've tried
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] munkee:
Thanks Rudegar, but you must excuse my ignorance. I have zipped the wsz file, but I can't extract it directly to my XDA2. I have to extract it to my desktop first, before syncing the file to the XDA2. But once extracted to the desktop, it is a .wsz again so zipping it hasn't made any difference.

Could you explain to me step by step how you do it, please?

I'm using "StuffIt" to zip the file, but I guess the results would be the same as if using "WinZip".

Once again, please excuse the ignorance, but I really want to change the skin as the default one isn't very pleasing to the eye! :)

Many thanks
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
you have to CHANGE the extention of the file

before

skinname.WSZ

after

skinname.zip

you have to edit the file name not zip the file

wsz is just a zipped file to begin with

after you change the extention you can just copy out the stuff from inside it

i use total commander both on my pc and on my xda because it makes it easy to work with zip files and other things, it sees zip files like dir's and you can copy stuff from inside them without any problems
