That's temp rooting, and isn't the same thing as modifying the phone, giving you true root and installing a custom ROM. It's basically just allowing you root access to run SU and other apps that require root access.

I personally think it's great for those who want to use some apps that require root, like "Shoot Me". But it's not true root. I used it on my G2 and found the same things you found, that it slows the phone down. I figure it's because the reason rooted phones are normally faster than original is because of the custom ROMs that you install. It really has nothing to do with root itself, rooting just allows you to run a custom ROM. And it's the ROM that makes the phone faster, usually due to less things running in the background and overclocking the processor.

I still have VISIONary on mine, but I don't have it set to temp root on startup, I only run it if I want to use an app that requires root.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kneedraggin101:
it shows on visionary that you can do a perm root via the software, and i did that, so when the phone restarts, it still shows i have su....

so are you telling me that if i unclick temp root and restart my phone it should be better??

basically i just want to keep the stock rom, or find a better one that still uses sense, as its super usefull for me.... i just wanted to root, so i can use the cpu thing to speed up the phone and scale it down when its in my pocket etc....

so i need help, i ran a stock bencmark and i got almost 1500, now im gettin 1000... which seems to be a huge diff and thats all ive changed was rooting the phone...

suggestions on a great sense rom then?
[G2 and Desire Z General] ibemad1:
You are very luck you didn't brick your phone running visionary perm root. Don't try that again, you might not be so lucky ^_^

Sent from my T-Mobile G2 running Cyanogenmod.
[G2 and Desire Z General] cberbes:
PermaRoot and TempRoot via VISIONary gives you root access, but it is not the same as rooting and running a custom ROM. Like I said before, the key in making the phone faster is not having root access. Having the phone run faster is all in the ROM you are running. Rooting is just the first step in loading a custom ROM.

I personally have not run any custom ROMs on my G2 yet, because I find that the stock 2.2 runs very fast as it is. However, I find that cm7 on the Slide runs very fast and works great, even though it is still considered an experimental rom. You could run the latest CM6 stable version.

I am personally waiting for the official 2.3 to come out for the G2 before loading a custom ROM, just because I don't see the need to run one yet. The phone runs very fast out of the box.

Let me ask, what are you trying to get out of rooting?
[G2 and Desire Z General] kneedraggin101:
i was just looking to have the ability to speed up the phone a lil bit, have some scaling, since the battery life is horrible, and if there was a nice optimized sense rom out, id look into that...

I have problems with connection to google sites over WiFi. I'm used virtual wifi on windows 7 by connectify 2.2. Other sites works perfect for me. Also, all google sites work fine over GPRS.

I've tried flash every custom firmware, but nothing helps. I even tried to reinstall my OS.

And the last thing - google.com.ua work fine. Other - did not.

PS. Sorry for my bad english.

You could make a blank alert box with no button. Probably not good practise to do that, but it would work.

something like:

alertbox.setMessage("This is the alertbox!");

alertbox.show();

I haven't had to restore a backup yet (knock on wood), but I know it's there if I need it. Kousch did a great job simplifying the process.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tiltpoet:
MODS: I am unsure of where to post this so sorry for the trouble.

So I work for Tmobile and love showing off my rooted mytouch 4g in all its glory.

So I requested a warranty exchange and got a TAIWAN VERSION w/ GOOD SCREEN in return. Like Day and Night.

Upon Receiving my warranty exchange phone it was 2.2.1. I attempted the same Visionary Root Process, (however was there some extra file i needed to DL? i forget)

After rooting my new phone, S-Off, I had flashed FAUX stock kernel 0.4.0b.

THEN THIS HAPPENS:

I cant get past the mytouch 4g splash screen. The first logo that appears. It gets stuck or bootloops. I can HBOOT and get into recovery 3.0.0.5

This is all i can do...i already asked for another warranty exchange...but in the meanwhile..how can i fix this problem or what did i do wrong?

ALSO can you backup one mytouch 4g and load it back up on another mytouch 4g with the same sd card? Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acureto:
I had this problem with my MT4G when I flashed his kernal. It seems that his kernals are not designed to work with every 4g device. I hope you did a nandroid backup on the device. I was never able to get past the mytouch splash screen with his kernals
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyungjae:
Well, at since you can get into recovery there should be a number of things you can do to get your phone to boot.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marine6680:
Download a new ROM to flash, if you are on clockwork 3 then you need CM7.

Clockwork has usb drive ability, turn it on, transfer the ROM then flash.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Product F(RED):
If you can get into HBoot or Recovery on ANY phone, you're safe. Hell, if you can't get into HBoot, your phone wouldn't even start up since HBoot is basically the equivalent to BIOS.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jggimi:
THE VERSION OF CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY YOU USE IS CRITICAL!!!

The version you are using is for Android 2.3 only.

Flash a v2 Recovery with adb or fastboot and reinstall your kernel, or install CM7.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tiltpoet:
I am trying to do this. How would I get my comp.to.recognize the devise. Sometimes it says mass storage device detected sometimes not. So I need cm7 rom to b able.to boot?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoren:
If you've ever connected it via USB, it should have installed the drivers automatically (at least on Windows). I think the ADB driver only installs if you had "USB Debugging" checked. Mass Storage usually only refers to mounting the SD card; the driver for ADB is different. Look for something like Android Phone or Android ADB Interface in your device manager (again assuming Windows).

If you have ADB set up, try running the adb devices command. If it spits back the serial number of your phone, you should be okay to proceed.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darinmc:
Don't exchange the phone, fix it...

Just use another phone to copy the latest CM7 to the root of your sdcard and flash, if that doesn't work do the same thing with a PD15IMG.zip file to the root of your sdcard, hboot and restore to stock.

I have no problem with someone doing a warranty exchange for a hardware issue, but if you break your phone, don't make someone else pay for it...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tiltpoet:
i ended up solving the problem by doing what some of you had suggested. I flashed CM7 and WAH-LaH! when the phone got past the splash screen into CM7 i was on cloud 9.

Now What are the benefits of running CM7? as opposed to going back to Sense w/ Faux kernel again?

PLUS

how would i go back to a sense type rom again? would i go back into rom manager and flash a different recovery?

XDA you have been so helpful!

___bonus__also the haptic feedback on this phone was not as strong as my original..though idk if its just me or not..should i call tmobile and stop shipment of the OTHER phone? how is it i have a taiwan version plum W/ good screen?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jggimi:
There are no Sense-based Gingerbread (Android 2.3) ROMs available now ... Best practice its to make a Nandroid backup of CM7 with your installed CWM Recovery, then flash a version 2.x of CWM Recovery to install any Froyo (Android 2.2) based ROM.

HTC Glacier CM7 41
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marine6680:
Good to see it is working.

Its mostly personal preference at this point. Sense on the MT4G is pretty responsive and has some nice features. CM7 has its own tweaks and features. You loose the sense widgets but many can be replaced with alternatives in the market. You gain and loose relative in both ROMs So try out both and decide.

Use ROM Manager app to flash a new recovery. One of the 2. versions, then flash a froyo based ROM.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tiltpoet:
what about flashing kernels..are those "roms"

is cm7 itself pretty battery efficient? i still downloaded setcpu and set it to 11---.

2.XXX ..u mean like 2.5.1.4 for example..sorry not lookin at the phone atm.

++bonus

i also dl the cynogyn updater or wut not..wut url do i add for themes?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marine6680:
Kernels are not ROMs, the kernel is the underlying software of an OS. The kernel talks to the hardware and lets different parts of the OS communicate. Kernels are ROM specific, or Framework specific. A sense ROM can not use a AOSP kernel and vice versa.

CM ROMs can be good on battery, or not. It all depends on personal use and how you set it up.

That is a good recovery to use when flashing sense ROMs.

Not sure about the updater. If it is the one I am thinking, it hasn't been updated in a while. I think it has been abandoned in favor of ROM Manager. CM updater did come in some of his older ROMs, before ROM manager became the norm.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tiltpoet:
So I can or cannot flash fauxs kernel. I really liked the smartass profile. Also..I'm on cm 7 now...y do I get force closes on my market.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darksulfur5:
As people have already said, you used the wrong version of clockwork, also, use clockwork to flash a new rom. And make sure you use the right version.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marine6680:
Try fix permissions. If that does not work, do a full wipe (factory reset). If that still does not work, try re-flashing the ROM.

If you flashed a new kernel before you started having issues, this may fix it, or you may need to wipe caches and re-flash the kernel.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msyang20:
Im wondering if my significantly increased battery consumption is based on rooting or having more apps installed onto my device, or both... because b4 i rooted...from just listening to music for 6 hrs straight my battery only consumed halfway through.

now just leaving my phone on standby, my battery goes from full to half in 3-4 hrs.

and ive always made sure there werent any unnecessary apps running in the background other than the usual ones such as media room, maps, myaccount, gmail etc. that are forever present in the task menu >> plus i have not flashed any roms on my phone

i presume this problem resides within rooting, cus even b4 i installed more apps onto my phone after rooting, it ate a lot of batteries already.

did anybody else notice this besides me?? or is it just my particular device?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoren:
Rooting alone doesn't change your device all that much. All it does is give you access to system files. If you don't actually do anything to the system (i.e. flash a custom rom or a new kernel), then you should expect roughly no change in performance.

If your battery is discharging abnormally fast relative to your level of use, I'd say it's more likely that some app or process is misbehaving.

Most of the time, my phone shuts down and powers up and it freezes or it vibrates 3 times and freezes. Some times it will turn on and freeze and infinite vibrating. Some times when I'm using Opera, it will just shutdown and freeze on boot.

It have to be the OS, but I just installed GingerBread 2.3.2_V7 but it still freezes and crashes.

Any help?

Thank you.
[HD2 General] Kailkti:
Try reinstall HSPL 2.08

Do it through bootloader mode/tri color screen remember

Then perform a task 29

Reinstall a radio for your TMOUS HD2, that is compatible with MAGLDR or HSPL.

Then install winmo or MAGLDR. Through tri color screen also.

Or it might be your sd card, Iunno, i've been reading some sd cards freeze the device. So you might as well format your sd card with panasonic formatter. Full format btw.
