Look in the development forum or use search. It's all there, and trivial to find.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
My signature should teach you everything you need.

for the rom, go to the development section... There is a sticky called the bible. It has everything.

I personally would flash nero v3 (not the beta 3). Most on here agree it's amazing.

Also, Vibrant's are REALLY hard to brick... Worst case you can use odin to get back to stock 2.1. Thid is also covered in my signature.

Now, with all that said... Samsung promised froyo by year end. You may want to wait a few days (I'd still take nero over an ota, just giving you all the information. They may not deliver)
[Vibrant General] ionic7:
I would just leave it factory cause I see this ending in a soft brick and you freaking otu thinking you ruined your phone when you didnt
[Vibrant General] sarge363:
Learn how to use Odin FIRST, then learn how to root, then learn how to flash, all of this is covered somewhere in this forum.....search a little and you'll be flashing in no time.

The newest and greatest is Nero 3 by team whiskey, its a custom 2.2, but with a gingerbread (2.3) feel and look. They have been at it for a a while and this is a wonderful rom. Check out my thread in this (vibrant general) forum for links and all the tips you need just ask.

I'd love to help.

Canada just got the official 2.2 Froyo update. Can't you just use that download?

Thank you for your replies, I am reading the guides now and hopefully everything works out.

Can someone please tell me does 2.2 have full flash browser?

I couldn't resist. I ordered it. What a great deal! Should get it in a month knowing it's probably coming by container ship.

Has anyone else purchased similar 1500mAh batteries from China and experienced better battery life?
[HD7 Accessories] Jeppfi:
I never buy non-OEM batteries from eBay, because the batteries can brake and destroy your phone, but they can be good quality.
[HD7 Accessories] Agent Blair:
I've owned several non-OEM batteries for the HTC Touch Pro for years and they are still perfectly fine and hold just as long of a charge.

Maybe there's a battery program for WP7 that can test these batteries properly like there was with WM.

[Epic 4G Accessories] jojo08:
I'm conflicted on which bluetooth headphone to go with. I'm looking to spend less than $40 with good audio quality, comfort, and battery life. So far I'm debating between the motorola S305 and the rocketfish RF-MAB2. Anyone have experience with both of these? if so pros/cons? Thanks!
[Epic 4G Accessories] markstibbyspot:
buy a samsung 3500. Find them online cheaper than retail. it is capable of playing youtube videos, music,etc. Great sound quality
[Epic 4G Accessories] bighuta:
He's talking about BT headphones... anyway,

I personally have both the Moto S9 and the Samsung WEP 870. I like the 870 because the buds that come with it are the sound isolating kinds and the sound quality is about 7.5/10, and that's pretty good considering its hard to find good quality stereo BT headphones...
[Epic 4G Accessories] jojo08:
thanks for the suggestions but i was looking to get the over the ear type (not the ones in ear since i plan to use them during running and i'd like to hear cars come up on me, feel safer than having the in ear plus i feel more comfortable wearing the over the ear too)
[Epic 4G Accessories] SRobby:
I bought the S305 when newegg had them on sale a few months back, 29.99 shipped. I love them, i use them all the time. I can be listening to music on my laptop while at work and if i get a call, it will switch over for me. I also use them when im working out, and they never move. Seem very comfortable to me, really good sound i think. I can get about 3 hours continuous use out of them. A couple days of sparatic on/off just watching videos at lunch or something.

Bonus: comes with a micro usb charger for them that just happens to fit my phone perfectly.
[Epic 4G Accessories] flaglerkid:
I have used the Motorola one and found it very uncomfortable.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Masterface7:
Its more expensive then you wanted but it does allow you to use higher quality headphones or ones you already own.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chikin:
Since the vibrant doesn't have any kind of LED notification, I was wondering if it was possible to use the 4 bottom keys as a substitute. I found an app called NoLED that displays notifications on a black background (and since all galaxy phones have SAMOLED screens it wouldn't use much power), but having one of the 4 bottom icons light up or flash would be really cool.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pkmn760:
I remember reading somewhere it was all or nothing As far as turning the bottom lights on...buy don't quote me.

Another thing to note us that black on the screens uses no power.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chikin:
so i read into this a little more and it seems like TW made a kernel for this (i found the info on their forum). For those of you who are interested, its called BLN (BackLightNotification) and its in some of their kernels (DoW 1.3, 1.4, etc.). Does anyone know if this is available for the vibrant yet?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Apocalypse:
Yes it is available for the vibrant but the kernel of the rom you are running must support bln...like DoW...

Sent from my XDA app cuz I'm stalking your mom....
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtone:
also know that kernels with BLN support are all i9000 ports at the moment.

Pros: You get BLN fucntions

Cons: Quick battery drains (8-12hrs off charger at best)

$0.02, id rather check every now and then by turning the screen on than sacrifice 40-50% battery life.
[Droid 2 Global General] Firedrake1:
So, this may be a stupid question but i have combed a few boards and cant seem to find an answer (assuming there is one) I just got a D2G to replace my EnVtouch. On my Env when i got an sms i could see both the time i received the sms and the time they originally sent the sms. With my new D2 it only shows the time i received it. Is there any way to see when one was originally sent? I would even be willing to install an app to get his feature. I have tried handcent, but no luck. Thanks in advance guys/girls.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkpaniel:
Just a quick question...

Is the root method that's stickied on the top of the mt4g development page (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=858996).... and the method found on theunlockr.com (http://theunlockr.com/2010/12/10/how-to-gain-permanent-root-and-s-off-on-the-t-mobile-mytouch-4g-htc-glacier/).. essentially the same things?

I tried to follow the method stickied in the development page and was left feeling like an idiot. The unlockr instructions, however, seem to be a bit more dummy friendly.

Any help would be appreciated.. thanks!

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CBConsultation:
BTW:

Disclaimer/Advice/Humble Opinion:

My advice (without trying to hurt anyone's feelings too much) is DON'T ROOT. I would suggest you familiarize yourself with everything (Linux, ADB, XDA, Google) before diving in head first.

Despite popular belief, having root does NOT in fact make you cooler.

Way too many new users are trying to root because they think it's cool or heard it's cool. Well; it's not cool to be a n00b and attempt root. You need to learn your device first.

If you don't know how to perform a Nandroid backup, or restore a previous ROM backup, flash updates, install custom ROM's, boot into Safe mode, Mount R/W, run shell commands or Terminal Emulator etc, then you should NOT root. You should browse the forums here, read, read and re-read everything until you know it well. Google search related topics. Exhaust all available avenues, then ask questions. After you've executed all of these options you might consider rooting and starting to tinker with your device.

If you don't even know what some of the things are that were mentioned, then you should absolutely NOT root your phone. You will likely brick or screw up your phone and then be right back here begging for help in a new thread most definately created by you out of haste or costing [insert phone manufacturer/carrier here] money by sending your phone back and asking for a replacement simply because you had no idea what you were doing.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkpaniel:
Hmm... two very useless replies.

CB, take a look at how many of the threads posted here in the "General" section are questions. Also, why are you so adamant on having "noobs" not root their phones? What concern is it to you whether someone bricks their own device or not? Isn't that what this forum is for? Did you one day wake up with all the android modding knowledge you have now? I dont think so.. And just because your useless warning thread got stickied up top, doesn't make it a useful thread.

Sorry for the rant.. I just sense that this forum is turning more and more into snobs trying to police what people say or ask for. It's a discussion forum geared toward helping people.. not a country club for snobs trying to remain on their high horses.

If you read my post carefully you'll notice that it says advice. It is simply an opinion. If you don't like my advice or my opinion why don't you just shut up and move on.

This forum is about helping people. Helping also includes preventing. Preventing people from breaking their device and avoiding a recovery, especially if it can be avoided.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkpaniel:
....or you can just stop trying to be the savior of this forum and offering useless advice that's clearly common sense to people that are on this forum to begin with.

I'm pretty certain that no one here asked for your personal "advice".. and btw, your useless advice was "DON'T ROOT". Now, how does "DON'T ROOT" help in a thread asking for help rooting? Just doesn't make sense. So instead of pretending like you're this high and mighty android god that has so much to offer.. you should just lay low until someone actually asks for your help. Or maybe, you might get lucky and a "noob" will start a thread asking "Should I Root?". Then you can jump in with your then applicable advice of "DON'T ROOT".

Now, moving on. Can anyone else offer any info as to whether the two methods listed above are the same?

Thanks.

Thanks, Jay21fire. Could you imagine this forum without all the helpless know-it-all snobs? I was part of the G1 forum before this.. and I don't remember the people there being half as snobby as here.

Anyway, I'm sure I'll find the help I'm looking for. As many useless snobs there are on this forum, I know there's even more humble, helpful people.. so I'm not concerned.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woldy2:
ok...i have already posted the link that is pretty much the same as the unlocker link, just from here...they are not the same thing...the first link is more of a deeper root, which would allow for the flashing of roms, that while based on the same phone...may not be tmobile specific, the second link or the link i had posted, is just a plain ol root

can we now stop the bashing since your question has been answered. i dont agree with CBC on the disclaimer, but that doesnt mean im going to start bashing him to no end...just not needed and a waste of a thread

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woldy2:
actually, i just read through the unlocker version and its missing a step...you need to install visionary first before you run the script and all that fun stuff...pretty much what your going to do is download and install visionary (you will need to google it and install it via astro file manager or the like since it is not on the market)...install android terminal explorer via the market and the root files from here...http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=834225...unzip those files using winrar and place them on the root of your sdcard. after doing all this, run visionary, and do the temp root...once it says it was succussful (takes a little bit), run the script listed in that same thread (steps 3a - 3d...reboot the phone, and run visionary again, but select attempt permaroot...once it reboots go ahead and make sure you have root access...you can easily check this by loading HBOOT, by holding vol down and power til the phone turns on and making sure it says S= OFF, or if you are going to get into flashing ROMS install ROM manager via the market...when you run it, it will say that you got root access or not and allow you to flash clockwork recovery

Here's a scenario for you....

son wants to learn to ride a bike and doesn't keep the training wheels on because he's in too much of a hurry to look cool. Isn't quite sure how to stop using the hand brakes and rolls out into the street and gets hit by a passing car.

Dad: That'll teach ya son!

You can act like some sort of internet commando all you want. My advice stands and if you don't like it...well; who cares. I help plenty of people. As for people like you, I love watching you complain like a whiny child.

There will always be those kids who want to argue over everything until they get their way. I just get the feeling you're a young kid who always acts out against the grain trying hard to gain attention from those around you in order to make yourself more noticeable.

I am here to help people and if that includes encouraging members to learn first before they do harm to their device then so be it. And if you don't like or agree with said opinion so what. If I can prevent even one person from ruining their phone before they learn how to use it then I accomplished something.

I have a very successful computer/consultation firm so my advice seems to have gotten me and my clients pretty far in life.

Next...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkpaniel:
Are you kidding? That's what the dad's response would be in your story?... very disturbing.

Actually, I was thinking about this.. I was thinking about how many people there could possibly be.. who contemplated rooting their mytouch4g's and came upon your warning thread stickied up top...who read your thread and actually thought to themselves "I've just been delivered by a forum angel! Thank goodness for that thread.. I just saved myself from bricking my brand new phone. What was I thinking to begin with?" Lol.

And then I saw your the link under your avatar to "donate to me"....is that some sort of a joke? Is that supposed to be a mockery of how actual developers accept donations for their work? What have you actually done in this forum.. or others.. what would warrant ANYONE donating ANY sums of money?? I laughed.

Could you imagine.. again... some "noob" coming on this forum.. reading your thread.. thinking "wow, I've just been rescued from a potential hazard. now, where's my credit card, this guy deserves some money"... lol, highly unlikely. So stop fooling yourself.. you're not a mod, you're not a developer. You're just a narcissistic snob who's perception of self importance on this forum is incredibly distorted.

Now, I apologize to everyone for this ongoing bickering between cbc and me. I didn't want to do this, but he just wont leave this thread alone... so I had no choice. Sorry.

Root took me awhile, but I managed to get it with these steps.

1. download visionary, root.zip from the s=on s=off guide. its in the middle of android development section of mytouch 4g.

I had to download Visionary .11 and .14

unzip the root.zip and place the folder on your sd card

After extracting the root file I doubled clicked it and there was another root folder inside which opened to the three files inside including the .sh command so I dragged that over

2. download android terminal emulator from the market

3. go to setting -> application-> turn off fastboot

go to setting -> application-> development -> turn on USB debugging

4. open visionary and click temp root. you will get black screen, dont freak out, give a min (make sure r/w is checked on)

Do this with Visionary .11 NOT .14

5. open android terminal emulator

type in "su" then click entet (without " mark)

it will probably say permission is denied

type in "su" again, then click enter

supper user will pop up asking for permission click "allow"

type in "cd /sdcard/root" then click enter

type in "sh root.sh" then click enter

I couldn't get this command to work until I extracted the compressed file and clicked root, then dragged the root folder over. After typing this command it will say it failed but in a few seconds it will tell you differently, saying to reboot into recovery

give a min or two when it says turn off and go into recovery to check if s is on or off, exit out of emulator

6. turn off the phone, then reboot into hboot by holding volume down and power button

7. it should say S=OFF

now using your volumebutton and power button

navigate to fastboot then reboot

Here is where I installed Visionary .14 and had to click temp root and then permaroot

8. when it reboot go to visionary again and click permenant root

it will reboot your phone

and then I suggest using Rom Manager to download the clockwork recovery and make a backup ASAP.

I installed these apps with astro

and with the root folder it looked like this

compressed root folder > extracted to just the root folder > root folder > three codes/scripts.

Hello All,

I searched for related posts extensively and due to the words which describe my question, I was unsuccessful. If you know there is another post on this, please point me in that direction and I apologize for wasting bandwidth.... otherwise on to the question:

I've been developing apps for the last three months and my development environment (Eclipse, ADT, MotoDev Studio) on my desktop and laptop are working flawlessly. I actually had to spend a bit of time to get to this state, so I'm apprehensive about changing anything.

1. Will rooting my Moto Droid 1, Nook Color, Gtab, Etc. have an adverse effect on my development environment?

2. Can you envision ANY* problems related to app development post-root? *I'm looking for Emulator problems, PATH problems, Compile issues etc...

3. Any gotchas I should be aware of as a vanilla app developer?

I've read several rooting guides and I don't think I see any conflicts, but I don't know everything... I just try to ask the right questions. Thanks for your time.
