I used SuperOneClickv1.5.5-ShortFuse @ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682

And it worked for rooting my TELUS Fasinate with the JL3 Froyo leak! Worked like a charm! Thanks to CLShortFuse!
[Fascinate Android Development] roccos_van:
Gonna try right now...wish me luck! ;)

EDIT! WORKS!!!! I HAVE SU!! Didn't do anything exect follow the steps on the video! Click start and your phone will be rooted!

I wonder if we need to install busybox? I'll search the one-click thread and see if we need it.
[Fascinate Android Development] roccos_van:
Hmmm...Dave are you having any problems with root access? I installed rom manager and clockwork, but it won't boot into custom recovery, it says "signature verification failed", so no clockwork, also, I have root explorer, and I moved a bunch of bloat to a junk folder on the internal sd card, but they are still in the system/app folder! Even if i choose delete, root explorer will delete the app but as soon as you refresh the folder they are still there...:(

EDIT: Figured out ROOT EXPLORER problem, just had to close and restart ROOT EXPLORER, and now my bloat is moved to a junk folder in the sd card!! ALso I was able to disable the stupid boot and shutdown sounds!
[Fascinate Android Development] DaveJeep:
It's nothing to do with the Root. Froyo requires a signed .zip or it won't install. We need the stock kernel modded!

I was wondering if it's possible when we have the stock kernel to flash the CM one, install CWR, then flash the stock one back. Would that keep root and CWR working?
[Fascinate Android Development] roccos_van:
I don't think that would work, the stock kernel once flashed overtop of the modded kernel would reset the setting back to "no unsigned zips" so then CWR would not work, well technically it works but we can't get there.

We simply (well, on second thought, maybe not so simply) need to mod the stock kernel, then we can have a custom recovery and even maybe OC/UV with set CPU (if someone can mod the stock kernel) Thanks again Dave, 2.2 is working great, and with root access now I have no bloat, no stupid boot sounds, and the phone fast and stable and also looks great with Launcher pro and beautiful widgets.

My Desire is going on ebay pretty soon...

PS - the genie widget that would FC was for 2.1, I found a genie widget that was for 2.2 and works great.
[Fascinate Android Development] joethc:
This is awesome! Adfree working now with the full javascript capabilities of froyo, very, very nice work everyone! I had a few issues at first because I was messing around with other various root methods. After a fresh flash of stock 2.2 thru odin, and rooting first thing using one-click method above, fixed all my issues. I noticed crazy keyboard lag after rooting but a quick reset of the device fixed that. Finally this device is at the level I had in mind when I bought it! We just need to oc/uv the stock kernel now and judging by the uv capabilities in other galaxy s handsets I think we have ourselves a winner!!!!!!
[Fascinate Android Development] DaveJeep:
I'm still learning so this might be a dumb question.....

I've read a few how tos on signing the update.zip. can't I just take the file cwr makes and sign it?
[Fascinate Android Development] roccos_van:
Hell it's worth a shot, right? Be careful, it would seem nothing really bad can happen, but even if it does, you have the files to flash back to stock anyways.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Owenv:
My brother just upgraded his t-mo phone to a vibrant (through wal-mart) and when he popped in his sim card the network provider showed up as "$3" instead of "T-Mobile". He can't access the general web through his browser although some apps like youtube can get online.

I even went into settings>wireless and networks>mobile networks>network operators and all I could see was $3 and AT&T. No T-Mobile. Anyone know whats going on?

I'm probably going to flash him straight to one of the froyo roms and see if that fixes it, but I'm curious if this is a wal-mart thing or something else.

try factory reset on the phone....if that doesnt work then call tmobile and tell them....the sim might be bad...
[Flipout and Charm General] mrokkam:
I was playing around with my flipout and thought I'd share

You can use the method described in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=738376 to enable non market apps in the flipout. The only difference is that you need to go to cd /data/data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

using something like SQLlite to edit this file, change the value of the field: force_only_market_apps from 1 to 0.

Hope this helps

[Flipout and Charm General] no clue:
All att android phone are LOCKED to non-market app. ( on purpose )

You have couple choices...

1. flash your phone to retail firmware via RSD

( then problem solved, not to mention you can also bypass motoblur )

2. Root your att phone and use "adb install xxxx.apk" to install your non-market app.

[Flipout and Charm General] kevace1:
this method does not work on locked flipout, like the AT&T one, among other. I just though I would share how I was able to root and side load apps even without changing any data files.........

First and foremost...i used this app as I have a Sony Xperia X10.....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=920746

I would suggest using version 0.2.8 as the newer version, which is what I have, asks you multiple times what device is connected, and since this flash tool is for the Sony Xperias's, it only gives you the option of the five different versions that are out now. I just kept suing the X10, as that is the phone I have on hand.

With this tool, I was able to Root the Flipout with just a click, and also use the newer version (0.2.9.1) too install apk's. ( sorry, so let me correct myself, download the latest version, and just continue to choose X10)

ALL CREDIT IS TO GO OUT TO THE DEVELOPERS OF THIS FLASHTOOL BIN4RY AND ANDROXYDE.....DONATE TO THEM IF POSSIBLE

It worked for me and I hope theres a way soon to be able to flash this flipout to be able to atlease remove all the clutter at&t apps, and non essential apps, like motoblur, AND have everything working, atleast for my fellow US AT&T and T-Mobile users........

[HD2 General] Robert916:
I’ve heard that it may be possible to Mod the HD2 to run on T-mobiles 4G network. Anyone know if this is true, or if it’s even possible? I’ve tried searching the forum and haven’t found anything on this topic.
[HD2 General] mmendez92:
yes it is. certain roms support the hspa bands for tmobile you just need to look them up. and btw its not REALLY 4g..... but its fast and has good coverage
[HD2 General] rcrawford611:
no it can not..... t-mo "4g" is HSPA+ ...so the radio in the HD2 is only a HSPA...but it does benefit from the HSPA+ because there is a speed increase but just not 4g speeds.

correct me if I'm wrong
[HD2 General] Robert916:
Cool, I’ll try and find a Android ROM that supports hspa, Thank you for the Info and reply’s. Any recommendations?

U guys are talking about the Tmobile HD2 right? Not the international or non US HTC hd2?
[HD2 General] Robert916:
Ill try it out. Thank you.
[HD2 General] Wdave:
The radio inside the HD2 is only capable to support HSDPA up to 7.2Mb/s.

HSPA+ Is what T-mobile calls "4G" It really has a theoretical speed of 21Mb/s a second, meaning that phones with HSPA+ Capable radios are seeing a roughly 10Mb/s on average. You're mileage may vary depending on how close you are to a cell tower.

HSPA+ Also has the benefit of providing more Infrastructure behind it to support the growing network. Meaning that the old HSPDA network will have more resources to tap out at its 7.2Mb/s ceiling.

In plain English your seeing more of that speed then if T-Mobile never upgraded, think of it as a speed increase for the price of nothing.

TL;DR

HSPA+ Provides more bandwith to HSPDA, making your phone have faster 3g speeds. Its not 4G.

P.S. Nothing is 4G yet, Not even the LTE that Verizon is offering. Its all a marketing gimmick.

[Streak 5 Accessories] Matt Bernius:
Question: any idea of the streak will work with an external mic/or how to get it working? I'm guessing that the ear phones jack should have an audio input as the headphones that come with the streak have a mic on them. That said, when I experimented with the steak and an external mic I didn't have any luck. Any suggestions?
[Streak 5 Accessories] Bri81:
Any standard 3.5mm (1/8in) TRRS breakouts should work fine. Here's an example: http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/gold/item/SP-IPHONE-CABLE

It looks like that Dell is using a wonky wiring for the Streak. So yes, that sort of TRRS adapter will work, but it's all in how the adapter is wired. I'm working to see if I can track down a diagram to get a final answer and identify the right sort of adapter.

Also, does anyone know if the headphone jack on the Streak provides voltage out?
[Epic 4G General] bagelicious:
OK so I have a picture of a friend of mine that I would like to set as the wallpaper. I don't want it to scroll as I swipe from one homescreen to the next. I want a static image that remains the same. I've googled this for over an hour and I'm starting to think I'm retarded. I've even installed some Wallpaper Set and Save app and its not helping either.

Any suggestions for how to do this? You'd think it would be dead simple. I want the wallpaper to look exactly how it does when I view the picture in the Gallery app.

Thanks in advance.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
When you select a photo as a wallpaper, it gives you an option to crop what sections of the photo you want seen. Set it as wallpaper, pinch to zoom the box to get the maximum amount of photo. Then hit Save or whatever.

I have Launcher Pro and the only option I see is "Disable wallpaper scrolling" which sounds like it would be great, but each time I choose an image it still gets cropped in the Gallery. Maybe I'm not seeing another option?
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Go to the gallery.

Select the picture you want.

Hit Menu, More, Set as, Wallpaper.

It will come up with a box overlay. Touch the edge of the box and drag it out so that it expands to encompass the whole or the vast majority of the image.

Hit Save.

Now you will have the entire image set as your wallpaper.
[Epic 4G General] swanysto:
That did not work for me. I have a wallpaper to the specific size, and it still makes me crop it no matter how I go about it.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Well yea, you are going to have to crop a TINY bit off the edges probably. Is it that big of a deal? The wallpaper would look like garbage if it tried to cram a weird aspect ratio picture into the Epic's aspect ratio screen. Faces would be squished or elongated. But only a TINY TINY amount of the photo gets cut off when you do what I said.

[HTC Aria General] lstat:
Is there anyway to increase the battery life on the aria? I love it, and I love sense, but within about twelve or so hours of moderate use in the day my battery is left with roughly 20%. With cyanogenmod, the same period of time and usage, I was left at 60% battery. I know the sense launcher and Widgets play a little part of that, but even with my hero, battery life wasn't that much of a difference between vanilla and sense roms.
[HTC Aria General] AkumaMax:
I would suggest an App killer. I have yet to try cyanogen's ROM but am on Attn1's Liberated Rom. I have Bluetooth enabled all day and by the end of 12hrs it is at 25% or so. Not saying switch. I would try Advanced task killer. Have many friends using that on their EVO's and Nexuses and their battery is wayyyy better.
[HTC Aria General] lstat:
I've tried all the tricks. I always have advanced task killer no matter what rom I'm running. I change thee location settings, network settings, screen brightness etc. I love htc sense but I don't want the battery life that comes with it. I know what my tricks are,i just want to see what the community had come up with.
[HTC Aria General] barisahmet:
I have read somewhere on the google (official google page about android stuff), using task killers does NOT improve battery life because background apps stated as "suspended" when they are in background. I dont know if I get it right. I will post link if I can find.

P.S. Couldn't find it but it was something similar with this:

http://geekfor.me/faq/you-shouldnt-be-using-a-task-killer-with-android/

Of course, you must take control off applications really "running" in background and preventing the phone sleep state. Not just "killing" all applications.
[HTC Aria General] lstat:
That is good to know, I think I've read this somewhere before.

* I've resisted the urge to switch, only because I've heard wildly conflicting stories about how fast it runs on the Aria.
[HTC Aria General] jlayton15:

You might want to try out an app called Autostarts. Just make sure you don't turn anything off you really are gonna need. Try this with advanced task killer and the apps wont load back up.
[HTC Aria General] tedkunich:
Check that you do not have an app constantly running in the background - on my stetup, I found that the XDA app was burning 3-5% CPU time spooling in the background doing nothing. (using OSMonitor)

For what its worth, I went back to the Sense ROM (FR008) from CM6.1 because of strange battery behavior - some days dropping to 30-40% after a full day, others it would be dead by 5pm. I dont consider my self a heavy user either. I do not see a significant difference in battery life between the two ROMs, if you throw out the aberrant days that CM would go nuts on me.

[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
sorry no one's gotten to you. Personally I'm not too sure what you mean by 'bumpers' but I think I can safely assume you mean a protective strip around the edge. Bad part is that there is so much accessibility on the edges it's hard to cover; dock port, speakers, both usb's, power, headphone, ac plug. Dunno if it's feasible?

Personally I would like to see a form-fitting shell type case like the case mates 'barely-there' for phones.

unfortunately, I just don't see that happening anytime soon. :(

DIY solution -- electrical tape. The color will match and will help with scratches on the edges.

Not the best solution, but until there's a case that's easily accessible for purchase its a workaround.

Thanks, guys! Yes, I was meaning a case or high-impact rubber strips for around the edges and back (with a small lip on the LCD side to keep it from impacting flat surfaces - i.e., dropping on the floor).
