[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] SeanFloyd:
Hey there,

I am trying to help a friend with their Droid, who is getting poor battery life and lag issues. I have no familiarity with this phone, so I was wondering if someone could recommend an easy root method and what they feel is the best ROM? Thank you.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jpcdeux:
Universal one click rooter. Then install ROM Manager (free) from Market and download Shadow Rom v2. I've tried tons of ROMs and always go back to it. Fast and smooth!!

Copy the apk to phones memory card and use AndExplorer (or any file manager) to install it. Open it, tap Root. BAM! Rooted!:)

Will rage thee cage method work now that my n1 us unlocked?

Is there a noobs guide to rage the cage? Also I haven't done much research on the radio. Would I need to download something for it? I'm lost as hell. THNKS FRG83
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
It will still work, but if you're unlocked it's pointless. Flash a custom recovery and use that in install a rooted update.zip (ChainsDD)

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quixoticelixer:
I flashed amon-ra's recovery and once I rebooted I got an android with a "!". The guide I used was on nexusonefourums. It said that if I got that symmbol that I was not rooted. I used modacos frf91 superboot to root. I was told it'd work. Apparently not.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quixoticelixer:
O and now my wifi doesn't work at all. It just says error under settings-wireless.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Easiest way to see if you have root is to download a flashlight app from the market that requires root, and see if it works.

I always understood that the exclamation android guy was because you had stock recovery (I'm sure someone will correct me).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
No need, you're spot on. Unless you remove a couple of files, the stock recovery is re-installed.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Thanks for that!

It's been so long since I've seen the lil' exclamation bugger, that I've forgot why he appears! :-)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
There is. "Root FRG33/83 without unlock" contains the thread with the explanation, and "SuperOneClick root app" is simple to use. Both in "Guides".

To the OP: Read the Wiki, for God's sake. The questions here come over and over again, and the interesting threads and questions all get lost in the maze of "how to root my phone". There's a guide for flashing recovery, read under "Recovery", and it says - "for unlocked bootloaders". That would save you the trouble of trying to root through rageagainstthecage method, because with unlocked bootloader you don't need any of that. There's also a guide, called "Flashing custom ROMs", at "Guides and Tutorials". That would cover everything you need.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quixoticelixer:
N1 torch asked for super user permission and the full brightness is now working. It wouldnt work without root. So im rooted.... hate to ask it but.... now what? do amon-ra again?

Looking to add CyMod... and whats the deal on the updating my radio? do i need to? I hate being ignorant, but I gotta ask to learn.. Or I could brick my 500 dollar phone.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Pretty sure you're still on stock recovery, so yes, flash Amon Ra or Clockworkmod (if you're on an SLCD screen, only Amon 1.8 or 1.9 will work).

The wiki has instructions, or use Clockworkmod ROM Manager (but read the wiki either way).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quixoticelixer:
Good heads up danger-rat. Downloads most recent radio and updated. I used rom manager and flashed most recent clockwork recovery. Now my next problem is getting cyanogenmod to download through Tom manager. It got 95% complete and said "rom download error.

Hi Guys,

Just got my Gtab yesterday noon...

Great Device.

would any of you suggest a way to fully backup the rom before trying to root it?

Here in Israel i got it for 14 days trial so i would like to squeeze it to the max before

deciding what to do with it.

I did it last night. It's fast, and doesn't screw up your Tab in any way if it fails. But it doesn't fail, LoL.

Backing up the whole rom is kinda complicated...

EDIT: explained myself a little better ;)

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hockeyplayr:
If i root with unrevoked, I know that the clockwork mod screen will not be visible to me since i have a new slcd incredible. I know when reading instructions it says to make a recovery once it automatically boots into clockwork recovery. Is it necessary? if i let it sit there will it go on its way so i can flash a different recovery with rom manager?

I really want to make a backup of the stock 2.2 it came with in case i need to take it in for support, but idk how i would do that if clockwork isn't visible. Ive read the forums and the only work arounds i can find are using different recoveries but the only way i know how to get them is through an app that already requires root, which would make it impossible to make a stock backup.

I'm really stuck here and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Brian
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
Try the alternate RA recovery which is available through ROM Manager.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hockeyplayr:
so if i use a different recovery from rom manager will that make a back up of the stock 2.2 sense with root? If it does i assume from there if i need to i can just remove the root?

Im new to this, closest thing i ever did with my blackberry was a hybrid os.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAPutzback:
I was on the AMon RA Recovery v1 8.0 and I could use quickboot to get into recovery and do nandroid backups easily. Now I flashed the clockwork recovery and tried using the full version of Rom Manager to do a nandroid and all it does is ask me what to name the file and reboot me to a white screen with options to reboot, recovery, usb toggle and that is about it, no option to do a nandroid backup. When I thought it was supposed to do it itself seeing as that is what the menu says.

I guess I need to reflash the RA Recovery and do it manually. But before I try anything else is this clockwork app good for anything? Can it install ROMs ok or has this app been forgotten and is no longer updated?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim M:
Because Clockwork does not restore a nandroid you made using RA, and vice-versa.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAPutzback:
I know that. I need to know if clockwork is broken currently. I saw a similar thread for a different phone and they are having the same problem.

I just went ahead and flash the RA recovery so I could make a nandroid backup. Then I can flash the clockwork recovery again and then try installing CM... Nah screw it clockwork is buggy. I'll just download CM6 and install it via RA.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merkk:
I used clockwork to make a backup. You have to go into the recovery menu, and once in there, then you have an option to do a backup. They probably should have re-worded that top menu option to recovery/backup instead of just recovery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roblin00:
I think CW and Rom Manager are both buggy in my experience I would stick with RA.

Hi, so far the only rom I have used is CM6, and the battery life is just absolutely terrible. Maybe its just my nexus, maybe not, point is I want a new ROM.

A ROM that you guys have tried and decided to stick to.

Battery life is VERY important to me.
[Nexus One General] RellikZephyr:
Try IntersectRaven's CFS kernel, best I have found for CM

For ROM try Enomther, battery life pretty good on that one

Rellikzephyr
[Nexus One General] ksoze:
I had been using CM 6 for a while and just recently switched over to Enomether's latest TheOfficial ROM. The battery life is now DRAMATICALLY better. Just looking over the Juice Plotter graphs shows that the standby time overnight is almost flat. Say 3-4% drop every 3 hours or so. With CM6, the battery level is on a constant and steeper decline, even when not in use. I didn't take any records, but my N1 on CM6 would be down to ~45-50% overnight if I forget to plug in the charger (from full). I heard that SetCpu will help, but I don't think it worked out for me.

Enomether has its own CPU Governor and while it doesn't offer as many features as SetCPU - the ROM's default settings work well right out of the box - no tweaking is needed really for the CPU governor.
[Nexus One General] BigJeebz:
I too was having really poor battery life with CM6, losing about 50% within 8 hours after charge, without even using the phone much! I'm trying out other roms right now just for fun. I'm using Evil's Nxsense but with the kernal posted by Autinhyeu (post # 8541 in that thread). So far seems to be holding battery extremely well. About 5 hours since charge and about 90% battery.
[Nexus One General] zok-star:
LeoFroYo Rom is pretty good with battery
[Nexus One General] sg1dan:
try the leofroyo rom latest beta. i get great battery in standby with the stock kernal that it comes with. 2.5 hrs per 1% battery. typically in a day making calls and using the internet, i lose about 30%-25% battery. not too bad.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=693595

2.0.1 beta 3 is the latest version that i'm using
[Nexus One General] sg1dan:
cm sucks when it comes to battery life in my experience. i tried the 6.0 version when it came out (first stable release) and battery life was horrible.

5 hours since charge? only standby or some usage?
[Nexus One General] BigJeebz:
That was mostly standby with setcpu profile setting cpu to minimum when the screen was off. But even with those same settings on CM6 my battery would be about 70% after the same amount of time.

I just reflashed cm6 but with that other kernal so I'll see how well it works today.
[Nexus One General] pakraider:
MIUI has the best battery life of any ROM I've used on my N1.. idle drain of about .5% / hour when using pershoot's kernels from droidbasement.
[Nexus One General] ChongoDroid:
I'm using shadow rom2.1 stripped down and I get about 16 to 18 hours usage.
[Nexus One General] jota164:
I'm using CM6 and my battery life is great. I got rid of my Seidio extended battery to get an Otterbox case and the stock battery on CM6 is awesome.

My phone has been off the charger since before 1pm and now at midnight its on 46% and thats with heavy use of Angry Birds, text, emails and web browsing !
[Nexus One General] tameracingdriver:
My battery life is also acceptable on cm6. Not amazing but acceptable. Then again I put mine in airplane mode overnight and get about a 4% drain, which I kind assume might be something to do with my Widgets.
[Nexus One General] skinnyq:
Okay, so I decided to try one of these two ROMs:

Enomther

LeoFroYo

not sure which one yet, and not sure what kernel to use with the ROM I choose.

I hate switching ROMs cuz of the wiping and restoring and all that crap.
[Nexus One General] RellikZephyr:
I still recommend IntersectRaven's kernel, he has cm and non cm versions

I am using one of pershoot kernels but the audio gain boost is driving me crazy the BT headset is unusable because it's too loud and also the speaker even at the lower volume set.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] panda1986:
Is it possible to somehow disable USB charging while phone is attached to PC via USB for debugging or mass storage? On WM there is an option to disable USB charging but here is impossible (as I know). It's good because if battery is on half, there will not be additional charging for a small amount, and that means longer life for battery. :)

Thanx
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MuggKins:
I love the idea of MIUI, however, I don't like the custom icons or having a seperate wallpaper for the lockscreen. So, is it possible to have all the icons stock? And is it possible to have the lockscreen stay the same, except with a transparent wallpaper so-to-speak? If either of those are possible, or you know of ways to make it possible, please let me know :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnie86:
I'm asking this question out of curiosity and based on the fact I can't find a definitive answer.

When I did my root, I used the Volume Up + Home + Power button method.

Is there a difference if I use Volume down + Home + Power? Or does it boot into the exact same screen?

Furthermore, I did not see this mythical "reset battery stat" option that people have mentioned. Can anyone shed some light on its' whereabouts?

Last time I fooled around with this type of stuff, I accidentally wiped my phone... I don't want to risk doing it again by experimenting.

Thanks for the help!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lokhor:
Resetting battery stats is achieved by:

1. Have a rooted phone

2. Have a terminal application

4. discharge phone to 15%

5. charge phone to full and while still on charger

3. in terminal application enter following:

su

rm /data/system/batterystats.bin

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] catdeerduck:
You're in the bootloader screen. It's white, click on bootloader and it should take u a screen that says recovery, fastboot etc. You can do a nandroid backup manually and install the rom manually as well...which i recommend to do because clockworkmod is known to not wipe properly.

When I do a Volume/power on and hit power at recovery my options are Bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, power down
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angel9190:
If I'm not mistaken I think its doing that because the recovery was not flashed correctly. Try going back to "Rom Manager" and choose the "Flash Recovery" option and then try to load your rom. That same issue happened to me and that solved the problem.

[Galaxy Tab General] elkriefy:
U removed apps only when with root permission right?
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
Yes, protected apps cant be removed without superuser permissions.

Titanium Backup will do it. There is a new "Chuck Norris Mode" that apparently can remove even more apps.

If only there was some kind of reference list like the win 7 services library that tells you which apps rely on which other apps...
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:

[Galaxy Tab General] epakrat75:
While this was a necessary evil on my Vibrant, I am at a loss as why this again necessary on the Tab. Especially considering it comes with much less bloat IMO. What benefits come from removing these? Performance and battery life are already very acceptable to me. Am I missing something?

these are the exact names when using titanium to freeze apps... if you want to remove the apks you will have to use your head as its pretty self explanatory
