Its not necessary, the only real advantage is flashing custom partitions and being able to push files to /system while booted. Oh and permanent recovery..
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] etu_aty:
lets say is for devs only, or people with pretty solid knowledge about the android system layout an such. if you dont know what it does you dont need it ;)
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
Yeah if you screw it up it could brick your phone, it patches hboot, which is a critical part of your phone, if it breaks, your phone is bricked.

[Nook Color Accessories] markiejones:
The description of the cases list the compatibility - and those are compatible with nook color (not made specifically for)
[Nook Color Accessories] Caesarg:
Would be curious to hear about these when someone gets one. I have both the Nook and Nook Color and they are "not" the same size. Looking at the pics on the site, the Nook seems to fit pretty tightly. The Nook Color is about a 1/2" or so longer so I am wondering if it will fit.
[Nook Color Accessories] openallnight:
i emailed the seller they said it would fit the Nook Color. Just curious to know if the original poster got theirs in and if it fit.
[Nook Color General] nookroot:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hydrouk:
Is anybody working on a PSFreedom port to the Galaxy S GT-I9000? I think we have all waited patiently for awhile and it would be a nice feature :>
[Vibrant General] neotoky:
Hi everyone, this is my first post. I am one of those who waited patiently for 2.2 that I decided to finally root today. I followed all the instructions to root from the sticky here. The process went without a hitch and I flashed the jk6 stock from Team Whiskey from the development section.

I really enjoyed the 2.2 experience while it lasted until I flashed the JL5+voodoo kernel from supercurio's thread. I was under the impression that you could flash different kernels over the old ones. It went through the process of partitioning to ext4. Once it was done, I went to settings and about phone to see if there was JL5 anywhere and it wasn't. It still showed JK6. So I panicked. I disabled voodoo through clockwork recovery and went to the process of reverting back to rfs which I believed. I used odin to flash back to jfd. I know, I didn't restore the backup from clockwork because I wanted to start over( I still have those backups on my external sd card). To my knowledge, the flashing to jfd would completely wipe the data, replace the baseband, kernel, recovery and os.

I then used samsung kies mini to update to JI6. Everything went ok so I decided to root again. Instead of loading the update.zip to internal sdcard. I decided to use tga_gunnman once click root. That process went great until went it rebooted, the clockwork recovery screen popped up to my amazement. It seemed that there were still original files since the first time I rooted. I checked my files on my vibrant to find that I still had original files such as the clockwork back up, titamium back up, and even voodoo. I thought the flashing would completely remove all the data and files. So I panicked again. At this point, I don't know what I did that now I can't get to my log in screen and the screen I get is a picture of a phone, an exclamation, and a computer on my phone. I tried using odin again through download mode to go back to stock but under the message box on odin, it stops at cache.rfs. It has been stuck there for a long time and nothing is happening. I can't even get into recovery mode either.

Now I am not even sure if I properly disabled voodoo or deleted it which I thought the flashing back to jfd would do. I don't know if my partition is still rfs or ext4. I can't use my phone at all. Did I completely brick my phone? How do I fix the mess I got myself into? I really do appreciate anyone's help. I apologize for the length of this post. I wanted to be detailed as possible. Thank you.

EDIT: Spoke too soon. I used a different version of odin and now im back to stock jfd, but the original files are still there including the voodoo folder. I thought it wipes all the data. Also how do I know that the data partition is originally rfs and not ext4? I want to make sure before I root again. Thanks.
[Vibrant General] Lethal_NFS:
Can you get to recovery and restore your backup you created? I just read where you said you can not get in to recovery. What method are you using to try to access recovery?
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
well if you are back to stock, but just the folder is lingering around, cant you just reformat your sd card?

settings>sd card phone storage>format.
[Vibrant General] neotoky:
I did a back up using clockwork. I originally was trying to do to the recovery mode by pressing the vol keys and power and that didn't work. I actually got it back to stock jfd by using a different version of odin. My problem now is that I still have some original files on my phone including the voodoo folder. My understanding of flashing was that it wipes everything from your phone. I am not sure if i still have root access even after flashing back to stock jfd. Also if my partition is back to rfs or still stuck at ext4. I am a little confused here. I am afraid if i root again that the original files and folders from my first root will interfere with the new root method.
[Vibrant General] neotoky:
so If I format the internal sd card, will it completely erase all traces from my first root?
[Vibrant General] bnielsen40:
When you flash a new rom, or back to stock, it does not (usually) wipe the contents of your sd cards (internal or external). And if you are successfully running stock 2.1, you can rest assured you're back to rfs - so if that voodoo folder is making you nervous you can just delete it (it's only relevant if you have voodoo enabled). You're fine to re-root with whatever method you prefer.

Sounds like the soft-brick you experienced was purely from odin hanging on you, and that icon you saw has become a frequent visitor on my phone since I routinely have odin hanging issues (hence my avatar). I've found that v1.3 treats me the best, but sounds like whatever version you updated to worked, so there's no reason to deviate. :D
[Vibrant General] Lethal_NFS:
Download OCLF from the market and you will find out if you are currently rooted still.
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
There are a few misconceptions on what the wipe is.

/sdcard and external SD card are user accessible areas of the phone, and when it states that the ROM wipes your phone it does not touch these (there was only one incarnation of TW ROM's that inadvertently formated the entire filesystem for some users).

If you must format the phone to its complete stock form in ODIN you can use re-partition check box - the results are still mixed if it formats the entire FS or not, but most probably it will for you. So all your pictures, etc. should be backed up no matter what.
[Vibrant General] neotoky:
I appreciate the help guys. Thanks very much. The version of odin I used originally was v1.00 and the one I used to fix the problem was v1.70. My question now is did I properly flash the JL5 kernel over the JK6 even though when I checked the information on my phone it still stated as JK6? Also how do you properly reflash to a different kernel as well as modems? Do you overwrite the kernel or do you have to go back to stock before trying a new one? Thanks.
[Vibrant General] richan90:
I'm not sure why you would flash the JL5 kernel. Does it have any added benefit over the JK6? If you want, you can flash the JL5 MODEM through clockwork using the JL5_modem.zip file posted in many threads.

You should not have to go back to a stock kernel before trying a new one, but if you flash a Voodoo kernel that converts your system to ext4, then you must convert it back to RFS before flashing another kernel. An easy way to be postively sure that you are in RFS is by getting "Terminal Emulator" from market, and type "su" press enter, and then "mount" and press enter. If you see rfs next to data, dbdata, datadata, and system, then you know your system is converted back to RFS. Otherwise, in Voodoo mode it will read ext4 next to those.

Also, if you are really paranoid about getting a fresh start, you can mount your internal SD on your computer and just delete everything on there. Don't worry, all the important Android system files will be restored upon each reboot. All the other crap on there will be erased.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] nuggyunlimited:
I'm a evo owner but just got a optimus. Is there a way to root 2.2?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] themono:
We only have the one 2.2 rom, the Quarx + Ankuch Openswift. This rom is already rooted.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] nuggyunlimited:
The phone came with 2.2 on it and its not rooted I wanted to root for hotspot
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] silent_bob52637:
You don't have an optimus you have an optimus one with the model number p500

We have the gt540. Google "root LG p500 "

And you should find what your looking for

Ours came with 1.6 then a 2.1 update and 2.2 is a custom non official rom for us

Hopefully this helps you're cause

[Fascinate General] Skyeclad:
So, I see Twitter is all buzzing about the developers putting AOSP on the Fascinate and I was hoping to see some discussion about it here but surprisingly....nothing. :(

Actually I have to admit, I was hoping to lurk around to learn some more about what this means for us. As a new Android owner, I believe this gives us the stock android experience that devices like the N1 and NS have but I'm not entirely sure.

So I'm just coming out and asking, is this the reason why so many people are excited? To get rid of Samsung's TW layer on top of Android or does this mean something more? Secondly, does this offer us a pathway to Froyo or Gingerbread or are we still dependent on Samsung releasing their version first?
[Fascinate General] bomber889:
Aosp is android open source project. Yes it is vanilla android. The reason there is no discussion on here about it is that it is not totally functional yet, from last I heard, 2 days ago. If you want to see the progress of this, you can go into irc and ask about it. Aosp is usually more streamlined because there is no custom skin over it, sense, tw, blur which usually slow the phone down. It offers more customization, you can look at other aosp roms on different phones to see what kind of customization it offers. And lastly, no it does not pave the way for froyo or gingerbread. The source has to be released from Google which it has been, (I think) but samsungs source is corrupted which really hinders our devs from really doing much and makes it much more difficult. The RIL, the thing that allows us to call, text, ect also is also a problem. I hope this clarifies some things for you and I am still learning things everyday and if I have anything wrong, please feel free to correct me.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
The alpha build was just "released" here today or last night. It's still buggy, but functional enough for basic use. It will make it somewhat easier to get AOSP Froyo/Gingerbread working, but it will still be difficult to get either on our phones without Samsung releasing either of them first to lay the initial groundwork for them.
[Fascinate General] iofthestorm:
Jt has made his own RIL for the aosp build, so I think this does help with froyo a bit.
[Fascinate General] Skyeclad:
Thanks guys. I had read the he was making his own RIL, which seemed like you would only do if you wanted to make yourself independent from Samsung in the future.

This is my first Android and I REALLY like it compared to my previous smartphone, the BB Storm 1. However, like the Storm, Samsung's inability to produce a timely Froyo build feels like Deja Vu all over again.

I've played with TW, Sense and Stock Android and maybe it's just me but honestly, they are all pretty similar. I know that some here will vehemently disagree but all of them just let me do what I need to do, run apps, write e-mails and make calls. Truthfully, it seems absurd for these manufacturers to even write these silly custom UI's at all but they seem to think that this provides some sort of value added differentiation.

The only 2 things that bother me about my phone, the occasional freezes where the hardware buttons are lit but don't respond and then all of a sudden all the touches that I made that didn't do anything at first, start to fire off rapidly. Secondly, not being able to upgrade to apps that are coming out that require Froyo.

Full disclosure, I would have said GPS performance but that was fixed here with DJ05 and JT's 12/12 Non-Voodoo Kernel.

Well, I think the only thing that scared me away from running the AOSP rom was the list of bugs that seemed to indicate that inbound phone calls don't always work and lack of BT. While I know I can try it out and return, I hate having to restore all those apps and data settings with Titanium, not to mention the potential for a late night in IRC in case things go south!!
[Fascinate General] stevoman006:
I was really excited to see this and loaded it up as soon as I could. It looked great, I would have kept it on regardless of the bugs, but for some reason my home button stopped working and sms functionality was sporadic at best.

I can't wait to try it again when it is finished.
[Fascinate General] preymond:
Gotta say, major props to JT, birdman and others. Only reason for me wanting froyo now that i have DJ05 is HID support, which most likely won't come until CM comes around, so i'll wait on installing this, especially since they don't need bug report yet. But its nice to see progress on the playing field, especially when its progress that the community has taken into their own hands.

Thanks for all the hard work.
[Fascinate General] chuck670:
^this. Cant wait until its fully stable/all features working properly. JT is truly awesome at his craft! :)
[Fascinate General] Captainkrtek:
I'm running it right now as we speak :) pretty stable for me, my new daily driver
[Fascinate General] Ahodson1985:
Also running this. Really awesome! Can't believe how hard you guys work on this phone. Keep it up :)
[Fascinate General] onemotodroid:
working okay for me. keep up the good work
[Fascinate General] bwheelies:
Working good for me as well.

Noticed there is no task manager as well as the backup to reload contacts. Guess it's manual input of those again....not so bad since it is the 20th time doing it. Just a nice waste of time.
[Fascinate General] agsded:
Glad you posted this thread. It clears up some questions I had too. I've been in computing since 1980 and it seems like the more time passes, the more unfriendly people are about sharing tech knowledge. Android has been one of the most difficult pieces of tech for me to find solid CONCRETE answers about. You have to piece things together from hundreds of websites and hope the consensus is accurate and not a stream of cut and paste work. Especially with android purporting to be open, you'd think there'd be a lot more energy to encourage more folks to develop for it, but it almost seems exactly the opposite.
[Fascinate General] Ahodson1985:
Anyone else having problems with their ringtones with this? Mine aren't playing at all. I just hear a short tweet sound at the beginning then silence
[Fascinate General] jspidah:
bwheelies,

Does importing them from SD card work?
[Fascinate General] jt1134:
Google contact sync works fine (even fixes the duplicate contact bug that touchwiz has). I think he was referring to backup assistant (which is of course missing from this rom ;))
[Fascinate General] Falcyn:
Does anyone else get an instant FC on the Facebook for Android app? I was looking forward to using the app's built-in and far-superior to TouchWiz Facebook contact sync. Thing is, it just won't open after a fresh install. The only way I can get the app to open is if I restore a TB backup of Facebook taken from DJ05... which automatically keeps the built-in contact sync disabled.
[Fascinate General] soba49:
bwheelies, as far as contacts go, it its probably worth your effort to put them into your google contacts now that you are entering them anyway... Just click Contacts in gmail (on your computer)and go to town, you will thank me later. Well, maybe not, but it its a handy time saver for synching contacts in the future

Swyped w/ XDA App. When in doubt, mumble.
[Fascinate General] devlp1213:
+1 for contacts synced with google lol
[Fascinate General] bwheelies:
That is what I did. Now to sync with Google.
[Fascinate General] bwheelies:
Looks like my headphones don't work. Damn.
[Fascinate General] Adr0it:
I think when phone calls and the headphone jack are 100% I'll be switching over. TouchWiz is really starting to get to me. If I get to see a stable release, JT will definitely see some cash headed his way.
[Fascinate General] Jceezy:
Can't wait to use this once things are a bit more stable, thank you to all devs involved in this difficult project
[Fascinate General] ktez:
Has anybody tried this with the DL09 radio yet?
[Fascinate General] chuck670:
yes and it works just fine. :D
[Fascinate General] gardndj:
The headphone jack works sporadically for me. Kind of a pita since my phone serves as my primary media player. Can't really complain for an alpha though, our copy and paste devs did a good job on this one.
[Fascinate General] ktez:
Thanks! Maybe I'll try it soon......
[Fascinate General] devlp1213:
waiting on bluetooth and mms myself, use them quite often, I'm so ready for some.AOS love
[Fascinate General] Crashspeeder:
I'm impressed by the posts in this thread so far. It sounds like the alpha is pretty full-featured. I can't wait for a beta or stable release. I'm astounded by the fact that jt is doing what was supposedly impossible. So many people claimed we would never be able to port FroYo ourselves because of the RIL but jt seems to have been able to.

I'd like to thank jt for his hard work with the Fascinate. Thanks to his work we have overclocking and, seemingly soon, working FroYo.
[Fascinate General] jt1134:

Looks like it has been updated, I might just give it a try now.
[Fascinate General] iofthestorm:
Great stuff, looks like he got SMS working now, although it also appears that he didn't write his own RIL in the end after all, but basically did the same sort of hack job that Samsung did in the first place. So maybe we're not as close to getting Froyo as I thought, but at least he understands the hack job that he did vs. what Samsung did. Still waiting for it to be "beta" myself, just because one person on twitter mentioned that his screen wouldn't turn on when he received calls, which is kind of bad... but it might just be that guy. (look at mr birdman's twitter if you want to find the replies back and forth about that).
[Fascinate General] jt1134:
Screen turns on now :) ringer is kinda whacky though
[Fascinate General] bwheelies:
Can't get any ringer sounds to come through.

Why are there two Android keyboards?

Also of note is my predictive text defaulting to my contacts!
[Fascinate General] bwheelies:
Can't get audio to headphone jack either.

I must admit, this is going to kick ass when ironed out. I love how it runs.
[Fascinate General] Neuman.Tim:
Question. If I were to do the alpha..as more fixes are implemented and applied to the original rom image, do I have to wipe every time I install the image again or would I be otherwise alright? I would imagine wipe but I'm not sure so...

[Fascinate General] n0yd:
Im loving it, been running the alpha for a few days now. Although I have one problem that does kinda bother me, and want to see if it is just me or not.

When I play a video stream, either off a website or youtube, the stream loads, and I get audio, but the video basically just freezes on the first frame of the video and never plays, just sound. Does anyone else get this, or is it possibly something I have managed to f up myself?

Great job guys, for an alpha this is great! :D
