I'm pretty interested in rooting my Droid X for things like custom ROMs, themes, and lowering voltage use/underclocking for better battery life. The only thing that's stopping me from doing so was an article I read about how certain apps on rooted phones were displaying passwords as clear text. Now as much as I want to unlock the full potential for my phone, I don't want people being able to access my personal data. My question is can someone access my data on my rooted phone if I have Bluetooth/WiFi/GPS disabled? I don't use Bluetooth devices with my phone, I'm perfectly happy with 3G coverage for my phone's internet uses, and I don't really use the GPS feature.
[Droid X General] toddman:
When you "root" your phone all you're doing is gaining Admin privileges. That being said, even in "un-rooted" environments you can have Apps doing crazy stuff. My best recommendation is know what you're downloading, check reviews.
[Droid X General] galaga4991:
I am aware that rooting gives super user access and access the root directory, but does that mean that other people can access the root directory on my phone over 3G/Wifi/Bluetooth?
[Droid X General] zanix:
No, you specifically give each app root access when it requests it.

You can then choose to always allow, allow once, or deny.
[Droid X General] galaga4991:
Ok great! Looks like I'm going to root mt Droid X!
[Droid X General] hocman22:
im going to root my droid x too did you find a one click process?
[Droid X General] lswon:
I used this YouTube video as a guide and it worked perfectly. Read the comments if you have problems.
[Droid X General] hocman22:
tht is the one i am using also but it freezes when it says restarting adb and suggestions?
[Droid X General] zeroleonheart:
Same problem. Try changing the USB mode to charge only, if you're still having trouble. I just rooted today and I'm trying to learn the terminology for all things root, bootstraps, rooms and the like.

Good luck, and enjoy rooting!
[Droid X General] hocman22:
thanks i actually was able to get mine through by closing all programs running and it took about 10 mins to pass. Also does anyone know if it is okay to turn off usb debugging while rooted?
[Droid X General] razorloves:
yes, it's perfectly ok to do that.

WHAT DO I DO!!!!

So I've rooted my phone (unrevoked)

and it is S-OFF (unrevoked forever)

now...

for some reason...

ONLY Sense roms that are 2.1 work.

And ONLY CM6 works.

ALL OTHER SENSE ROMS reboot random.

I cannot get any other rom to work with my evo :(

Any suggestions?

Maybe its the kernels i'm using?

Or maybe it's just my evo :(

Here are the evo specs:

SuperSonic EVT2-3 SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-0.93.000

Touch Panel - ATMEL224_16ab

Radio - 2.15.00.09.01

WIMAX + NV + PRI + PRL all latest updates
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
did you previously back up on a 2.1 rom and are you trying to do a titanium back up or another restre of apps and system settings by chance?

if so thats your problem.

you can restore apps but not system settings and data if they were origonally taken from a 2.1 rom.

if not then can you explain more about what you are doing.

are you installing apps etc?

my suggestion is this flasha 2.2 rom do not back up or isntall any apps yet and do not flash a new kernal. if youa re still getting random reboots then something is up if not then try flashing the enw kernel and repeat if still nothing then start installing apps. at least that will narrow down your search.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snrbobo:
wew

yea i'm attempting that right now.

i've installed the newest RUU and completely unrooted the phone.

if it reboots randomly i'll take it back to sprint and get a refurb

Edit: So...it randomly rebooted. gotta take it back .haha

Ok now i bought this Htc Hd2 with android on it from some one right? And it tells me to put in his password so i can acess the market, thing is he wont give me the password so If i factory reset the phone, does this mean i wont have the aandroid Os on it anymore?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PINki92:
You can do the factory reset. Ofcourse in Android.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeantilien:
Yes but if i do it then I'll still have android installed on my phone?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Airborne Aircrew:
Android isn't native to the phone... So... If you hard reset, the phone will return to it's original state and everything should work as advertised...

Then you can poke around here a bit more and find out how to put Android back on the phone... :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PINki92:
Yes you will still have Android. If you do hard reset it deletes everything on phone memory. Android is installed on SD card so it will remain there.
[Touch2 General] racoonboy:
When there is an incoming call, i press the mute ring button under the slide answer but it doesnt work. The graphic shows that the key is pressed but the ring still keeps ringing.

I just realised that when this happened, my (hard) call key also not functioning. although i can still use the phone on screen button to get to the call log. Anybody have solution for this.

Note: after i soft reset, the function is back to normal but will be the same after few days.

How do you increase the volume on the Mic?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] memin1857:
You ask this because other party can't hear you? is that correct?

Making mic gain higher is likely to result in echo or high background noise and is not really a good idea?

To keep things short and simple-I'm new to the smart phone world. Up until last Monday I had a LG Rumor for the past two years(Very simple Qwerty texting phone) I just upgraded to an EVO and since then I have:

-Rooted using both UnrEVOked and toasts method(brothers phone and my phone)

-Flashed CM6 w/snap7.6&Turbo

-Flashed Myns Warm TwoPointTwo w/Kings CF 11

The possibilities are honestly overwhelming, but I guess ultimately, I want a ROM/theme/launcher/kernel that is pretty flashy looking that performs well and is pretty snappy. Something that is simple yet elegant.

I was checking out some of the home screens on the "post your home screens" thread and some of those are awesome looking.

Can someone recommend something for me?

Or just a good way to spice my CM6 ROM up that I currrently have to fit my criteria.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Greenfieldan:
I also just rooted. CM6 was a little too...finicky I guess for me. Cyanogen is a beast, but I felt like the ROM was more for developers who wanted to do their own thing with it (on top of the fact that because of the nightlies, it never really felt complete). I've also tried DamageControl and Fresh which were both VERY customzable, yet ended up with Warm TwoPointTwo...And I don't think I'm going back (it's by far the most functional on top of the fact that my battery life is borderline ridiculous...)

[EVO 4G General] ingenue007:
I have mine rooted with unrevoked and used Fresh 3.3.0.1. Everything was working perfectly including 4g. I did not apply latest Fresh updates nor have I ever flashed the radio or firmware. I did update PRL and profile last week.

I have it off 99 percent of the time, but today I wanted to use 4g. Wimax connects then immediately turns off.

So I ran terminal emulator via these instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=741019&highlight=wimax+issue

I get the attached picture:

WTH? I renamed the xtree file in /data/misc/wimax to re-create before I ran the terminal, but that was it.

What happened? How did I loose wimax w/o flashing radio or wimax?

What should I do to get wimax back?

then i run that. all it says is <rsa> </rsa>

did the rsa keys get removed? how did it get removed w/o flashing radio/wimax??? i dont understand how it was working, stopped w/o a change in firmware/radio/wimax

i there a fix or do i have to return the phone?
[EVO 4G General] ingenue007:
ok i read other xda forums and if you run the command thru terminal emulator you might not get rsa key line visible and that it should be run thru adb which i will try tomorrow.

I just looked at some old nandroids I have saved on my computer. The oldest one was from clockwork and doesn't have a wimax.img. The next newer one was from after I switched to Ra and does contain wimax.img.

Looks like clockwork doesn't backup wimax.

ahhh ok there is more to add.

i just did this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=797337 to check out my RSA keys.

If you didn't lose your RSA keys maybe it is a spent tower issue near your house.

A side note i noticed yesterday that when connected to my pc as disk drive i couldn't even turn on 4g. Disconnected from pc and all was good.

my co workers 4g will turn on and scan, but doesn't turn off like mine. very strange....

The commands won't print your keys out, but if you install amon ra 1.8 the nandroid backup will contain a wimax.img with your saved keys in it.

[EVO 4G General] ingenue007:
since i used unrevoked and it has clockworkmod on it, how to i install amon ra 1.8 instead? do i put it on root of sd card and use recovery in clockworkmod to flash the file?

nm i figured it out. im making nandroid backup to see if wimax.img is on there.
[EVO 4G General] TeknoJnky:
I've seen my wimax partition get temporarily mangled before.

Turn off 4g, power down, wait 30 seconds or so, power on, turn on 4g and it works again.
[EVO 4G General] ingenue007:
ok so i've narrowed this down to an APP that is causing this!

i changed from clockwork to ra and got stuck in bootloader :( so i reflashed fresh after wiping data.

after fresh reload, it will scan for 4g (none in part of town im in) but it stays scanning. then using titanium backup to restore my apps....it just disconnects like previously.

so some app i restored is causing this issue. weird.
[EVO 4G General] fachadick:
you use switch pro?
[EVO 4G General] ingenue007:
yes i use switch pro.....is that the answer??
[EVO 4G General] fachadick:
Definitely. If you have switchpro installed it will only let you turn on 4g through switchpro. Once its on, you can turn it off and back on through settings, but if you don't turn it on first through switchpro, it will keep turning off through settings.

Let me clear it up a bit.... a contact that is already on the sim, I need to save it o the phone. In older versions of the rom, u could hold down on the contact, and the option to copy it to the phone was one of the options that popped up. I just can't find it.....

Looks like Android might finally have a fighting chance in the gaming segment of the mobile OS world. While this only shows some hardware and doesn't say much about their game plan, I think it's great. If Sony and Google start producing some quality games for Android, MS definitely will come back swinging! Which means more games and choices for everyone. We might even see MS come out with a slider phone that has gaming controls!

Honestly, Android games are lackluster at best. I'd be highly surprised if SE could make a phone good enough to challenge MS's Xbox LIVE integration in WP7.

[General Topics] krjcook:
This isn't Google's device, but Sony's. This is there product and probably be the only Android device to legitimately support PSP titles. So this one device has to compete against the not one but nine WP7 devices. It's also probably digital download only which killed sales of the PSPGo, I'm guessing it's gonna do the same here. And if it doesn't add updated graphics there kinda wouldn't be a point.

PurpleMotif v2

Hey everyone :) This theme is a complete "re-colorization" of the popular MattedBlues theme by jabbawalkee. I take ZERO credit for any and all custom graphics you find in the theme. Jabbawalkee originally created this theme. All I did was change the color from blue to purple. It's possible you'll find some graphic anomolies. If you do, please be kind and leave some feedback for me. I tried my best to make sure things were in working order before posting it here but I'm human and I'll keep working on this as time permits.

Quick FAQ:

How do I install this? Flash it via recovery.

Which recovery do I use to flash this? I only use Amon_RA Recovery, v1.8.0.1. Give that a shot if you are running into problems using Clockwork.

Will this work with CM 6.1.2 ROM? YES!

What font is that? Ubuntu. It can be found at this thread.

Have a ETA for <insert reason here>? Absolutely not. We're all busy and the last thing I need is to let anyone down.

Which lockscreen does this theme come with by default? It works with whatever lockscreen you're currently using. The Vanilla lockscreen screenshot you see is because I ripped Sense out of the ROM I was using when I was working on this, primarily to show that the theme worked with the Vanilla lockscreen too. I should've posted a screenie with the HTC lockscreen but oh well :p So, again, if you're using the HTC lockscreen it'll work with the HTC lockscreen. If you're using a Vanilla lockscreen it'll work with the Vanilla lockscreen.

I hope you like this! :D

Actually, if you flash the theme as it is it will default to whatever lockscreen you're currently using :) I should make a note about that in the OP. I'll do that right now.
