Pardon my ignorance -I have found some info from the forums as per the specifics of rooting and - im considering rooting my slide (as it seems 2.2 is never going to come) and go with CyanogenMod-6.1.1. Im never rooted a device but that part doesnt sound so hard (ive used linux before, etc) but my main concern question - is there a way i can make my own ROM code - or rather read out the rom code of my phone currently (pre-root), this way - should

a) i not have a good root experience (something not working right)

or

b) 2.2 comes out - via OTA

I can "go back" to my orinal rom code?

Moreover, is there a way I can go back and restore the original rom code that i backed up pre-root? I dont even know if reading out my own code can be done or if i must rely on some factory rom code available in some "slide bible" that has alluded me. Cant seem to find any slide rom bible as of yet.

Can anyone point me in the right direction or help ease my concerns...

Also ive read about "Titanium Backup" and 'Clockwork' and 'amon-ra' -- can any of these be used to backup current rom code prior to rooting ? or perhaps just after rooting?

Old Bible definitely has stock rom. I glossed over the new one, didn't see them immediately, but I'm sure they're there.

Titanium Backup is for Apps, Clockwork and amon-ra are different types of Recovery. Within those two(or atleast Clockwork) you can make a "Nandroid Backup" which is what what you're looking for. It will backup your ROM/settings and stuff.

When you root you're going to be flashing an Engineer version that allows you to keep root, so you should make a nandroid of that. In the Bibles you'll find a link to a pretty easy root method:

Can some one please help

I have been trying to root my mytouch slide for quite some time. I have read post and followed directions on countless websites and even watched a few videos.

The first method i tried was the one where i had to go into command terminal, using sdk tools, and catch my phone in adb with "loop". This never worked because adb would only detect my phone when it was booted normally but when i would boot into recovery mode nothing would come up.

The second method was the one where i had to download a few files and put them in a folder in C:\ and from that directory in command terminal i had to run "my root" along with other commands that were supposed to push all the files I needed to my phones sd card. This didn't work because when i rebooted the phone into the bootloader the "ESPRIMG.zip" wasnt detected. So , im guessing, without that flashed first i cant install any other roms or upgrades.

I dont know what else to do and i would really appreciate it if someone would be able to help me finally root my fun

Sorry if i posted in the wrong spot or something.

Also You can backup your current rom with clockwork and restore it whenever needed.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iDaZzLeFatHoeZz:
If you want 2.2 OTA Go to CR's post in the development section and it should be one of the first. You have to root before installing as it is yet unreleased and it is unsigned. You can get all of the info on rooting/unrooting you need at theunlockr.com if you do not like root(which I highly doubt). There is an unrooting tutorial on theunlocker also.

thanx again for those links

i used the second one and i got it to work.

At first i was having the same problem with the hboot not recognizing the ESPRIMG.zip but after reading alot of comments someone gave me the idea to backup my sd card and to format the sd card and try again. I backup all the zip files i had from the previous attempt and i formated the card from the phone and then connected it to my laptop on "disk drive" and formatted it from windows also(I used FAT32). I uploaded all the zip files and started the process all over again and it work this time(attempt #23). Now im happily running cm6.

Hi Guys,

I was playing around and found that you can set your own mp3 ring tone on windows phone 7.

1. Install TouchXplorer

2. Upload you mp3 to your device using Zune.

3. Open TouchXplorer

4. Browse to My Documents\Zune\Content\0100\00

5. Select the MP3 file you would like as you ring tone

6. Tap ... and tap Copy

7. Tap back until you get to the root of My Documents

8. Open My Ringtones

9. Tap ... and tap Paste

You should now have your ringtone available in the ring tones menu.

Hope this helps someone out there. http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

hi, i was wondering if anyone is still running DI18 ROMs and custom kernals? is there any advantage to this, since DI18 is 'official' code, and all we have for Froyo is leaked code? or are we better off just running DK28 ROMs? thx
[Epic 4G General] Toast95135:
I went back to Di18 from DK28. Surprisingly GPS works 100%, I don't know if they changed something or odin flashed the radio better then stock. The main reason I went back is because games play much better on Eclair. I've been playing a lot of Dungeon Defenders and it plays horribly on DK28, I'm pretty sure since it's a beta leak it's not 100% optimized for the gpu.
[Epic 4G General] snowmanwithahat:
I've been running DI18 (ACS) and it's great... but I'm tired of being on 2.1 and actually this weekend I'm planning on checking out an EXT4 Midnight ROM with a Gingerbread theme... If that turns out to be good I'll probably be on that until ACS rolls out a 2.2 ROM
[Epic 4G General] yogi2010:
cool, thanks for the replies. anyone have any favorite DI18 ROM/custom kernal combinations?

i've been running Viper's ext4 ROM and i love it.... but i'm curious about custom kernals and such.
[Epic 4G General] snowmanwithahat:
The version of ACS that I'm running comes with the ACS Xtreme kernel. It's pretty fast (I'm actually not running the most updated one) and allows the 1.2ghz overclock step which you just flat out can't do with 2.2 until source is released
[Epic 4G General] MojoSwag:
When I was running 2.1 I had the best experience with Syndicate or Epic Experience. Great speed and awesome battery life. I just moved back to 2.2 on the Truly Epic with EXT4 and its probably the best I've run so far
[Epic 4G General] yogi2010:
thanks guys, just curious about maybe playing around with undervolting/overclocking. i might try syndicate or epic experience.
[Epic 4G General] snowmanwithahat:
I never gave EE a chance, for no particular reason, I just never had the time.

I heard that EE + Phoenix Kernel was a great combination for battery life but for speed I've heard ACS + Xtreme was the way to go. It definitely is fast and I get slightly better than stock battery life idle, but under really heavy use worse than stock (at 1.2ghz I can't really say I'm surprised)

I think I am ready to make the leap. I've been reading reading and reading some more. I will root it of course. My main objective is to have a tablet-like device, running a droid os. I am priced out of the "real" tablet market. Waiting for a tablet with Honeycomb might cost me 3x what a NC will cost. From what I've gathered on xda, I can make my NC function as a tablet (for the most part).

One of my concerns/questions is - I am actively searching for a job. I need to be able to send out my resume, go to job applications, fill in forms, etc. I have my resume saved as a google document. Will I be able to open and edit my google documents? I am currently running Froyo on my Evo and am able to do so there. It's a huge plus that my Evo can serve as a wifi connection to a NC as well.

Any tips, cons, "be careful of..." tips you care to share would be much appreciated. It appears as though there are two ways to root?

If you're serious to actually bring Droid 2/X Android 2.2.x (or maybe even AOSP 2.3.x) to NookColor, don't forget to port their "hardware" accelerated 2D/3D drivers and overlay.

Though I suspect it's exactly what CM7 for NC team is struggling with since January 10 (when NC was reported as booting and running CM7).

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madrenergic:
I use SpeedMod, for the performance tweaks. I did briefly use supercurio's kernel, but then switched over to hardcore's, chiefly because of how it was geared at performance and efficiency, or so it said, anyway.

To the extent of my limited knowledge, I can summarise their technical advantages as follows:

Advantages of SpeedMod

Various optional performance boosts - promises battery and speed improvements, but I haven't actually done any tests for proof

Customisable lagfix - can choose from different file systems (ext2, ext3, ext4, ext4nj, rfs, jfs) and where to apply them (data, system, etc)

Advantages of Voodoo

Simplicity - lagfix (and other tweaks) automatically apply on boot, no need to ever go into recovery mode

Both have colour and sound tweaks (SpeedMod uses Voodoo Sound), and generally are very stable. You might also find less of a need to update

You don't say... ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoomanm:
I guess voodoo is much better. I haveused both of them but speedmod has a lot of problem like screen brightness which will never be fixed! althou hardcore claims to have done so. about the battery consumption you can not say which of them is better cuz it depends on your rom. on Darky voodoo saves more and speedmod drains ur battery. that is why Darky switched to voodoo in his latest roms and if you install darky rom configurator you will see that voodoo is recommended.

Used SpeedMod from K12r up to K13c, then rolled back to K13a for a while.

Now I'm using Voodoo 5.4.2, not as battery-savvy, but faster and less issues (e.g. with K13c I had weird issues with the loudspeaker lately).

I think the main reason for the battery is due to the new auto-brightness system in SpeedMod.

But in general I managed to tame the battery well in *ALL* kernels: JuiceDefender (with Autosync in Ping mode) + ScreenFilter.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C-o-M:
No, that's not possible. The kernel is one big thing that has to be replaced completely. Voodoo is a set of changes to the kernel. So you have to apply these changes to your kernel source (speedmod) and rebuild it. But speedmod updates to the newest voodoo sources quite often. Thus simply install the newest speedmod kernel and you'll get (mostly) the newest voodoo. And some more improvements, too.
