So changing roms messed up market for me for a day or so. (few posts up) If I'm wanting to just try out a rom temporarily and want market access, is it ok to use an alternate gmail address? (my spamcatcher one) Or would that create even bigger problems? The imei or whatever hw identifier the market uses being assoc w/ main gmail account #1 then romflash and it's assoc with gmail #2 when I login, then several hours later BAM, nandroid restore and it's back to #1 without even prompting for auth.

LastInLine posted:Really the only tough part is getting ADB to recognize the phone. After that the "fastboot oem unlock" takes like a second. You don't really need much to need to do except put on Superuser if you're staying stock or installing a recovery if you're not. OK. Apparently my idiocy continues. I simply CANNOT figure out how to get the Nexus to talk to adb when it's in fastboot mode. Help? EDIT: OK. FINALLY got the bootloader unlocked, ClockworkMod installed, and SuperUser installed...but now I can't seem to get ClockworkMod to actually STAY as the recovery. If I reboot to the bootloader and select recovery, I get an error triangle and I have to pull the battery... I just want to get this drat thing rooted so I can call Sprint tomorrow to activate it...then install CM7.1 after it's activated...

Does anybody know if the Samsung Conquer has been rooted yet? I have a friend who can get an upgrade from his blackberry for $49. He's on the CREDO network. http://www.credomobile.com/phones/details/samsung-conquer-4g Unicorn Vomit fucked around with this message at 07:09 on Oct 21, 2011 |

I installed CM7.1 and I was not asked to log into my google account/have no market access and am pretty much stuck with a useless phone! I am restoring right now... thank god I did it, otherwise I think something pretty lovely would have happened.

I am debating installing a custom ROM for my Evo 3D. I actually kind of happen to like Sense 3.0 (and I never really liked 2.x, I know it seems weird). My question though is that do most of the ROMs out fully support all features? Namely, 4G and 3D camera/display. Warm seems like my best bet considering that it uses Sense 3.0 and some good things have been said about improved battery life, but I would be willing to try CM7.1 or MIUI if they both have something I would want over Warm.

Ozmodiar posted:OK. Apparently my idiocy continues. The stock ROM reflashes the stock recovery on every boot. There's no reason to worry about it, just reflash the recovery after it's activated and then flash CM7 (which is so broken on the Nexus S it's not even funny). Alternatively, you could rename the file in the stock ROM that reflashes the recovery, I think it's in /system/etc and it's got "recovery" in it (maybe it ends in .io?) but if you're planning on replacing the ROM why bother?

I'm running Warm rom while I wait for CM7 to fix all the bugs on the Evo 3D. It's just a prettier version of the stock rom with all the spyware and bloat apps removed. I left the phone off the charger for 14 hours the other day and only lost 10% battery life.

How is it that a Nexus Phone with full source-release could have such a messed up ROM? That's shocking to me.

My question though is that do most of the ROMs out fully support all features? Namely, 4G and 3D camera/display. Any stock-based ROM should be expected to fully support all hardware on any device. They're just modifications of what's on the phone already, so if any functionality is lost it's unintentional and should be reported as a bug. AOSP ROMs for the Evo 3D at this point do not have 4G, most 3D functions don't work right, and there's something wrong with Bluetooth though I don't recall exactly what. Netflix also doesn't work. I'm with you on liking Sense 3 but not Sense 2. I gave up 4G for months to run CM6 on my Evo rather than Sense, but I don't have a problem with it on my roommate's E3D. If I end up with a Sense 3 phone whenever I upgrade, I might keep it.

I love google music, it's strange, but I really like the utility of it. But I want it on my phone too, because I am greedy and not satisfied with storing music on my phone. Trouble is, that I have a sony ericcson xperia x10a. I like the xperia x10, but AT&T hates it. I already rooted it once, but they actually released an update after that, which over-wrote my root (I think). I am terrible with technology is my point. I would like to flash an updated android rom, 2.2 or above, to get access to the newest apps (like google music) and such; but also dont' want to lose all of my texts and phone numbers. Can someone here help me out

Also, there is zero reason to actually keep giant SMS threads on the phone. Use something like this that does auto back ups and restore if necessary.

Makes it super easy to find someone in MIUI even with ~1k facebook contacts on there. .21 fascinatemtd MIUI should be out VERY soon by the way, followed closely by Glitch 13. Completely working MMS, much improved GPS, battery life, and stability. The Glitch dudes are reporting 100mv UV possible at 1ghz which is absolutely ridiculous.

I've had a Nexus One for about 15 months and it's been great but I'm getting a little fed up with the lack of storage space for apps on the phone's flash memory, ~190mb. To fix this problem, I was thinking of rooting the phone so I could use App2SD for all my apps, not just those which already have micro SD storage enabled from their developers. I know I can root it without unlocking the bootloader, but I've read that this means I'll lose root with the next update and have to wait until someone develops a new, non-bootloader rooting system for the new version of Android. Is this correct? I've also read that I can avoid this problem by unlocking the bootloader and rooting from there, is that also correct? Unlocking the bootloader will wipe my phone, right? Will it also wipe my micro SDHC card? I'd rather not have to unlock the bootloader because of the wipe and because I'm worried about bricking my phone, but I'm more annoyed by the lack than the potential problems of rooting. I'm not really interested in flashing a new ROM like cyanogen, as I kind of like my phone the way it is, even though I like CM7 on my Nook Color. So, any advice for me about this or any other way to solve this flash memory problem?

Add to that the only CM developer who gives a gently caress about the NS has been really working on the kernel trying to fix the dimscreen bootloops without a whole lot of success. He's added Voodoo support, added then took away backlight notifications (which caused their own hardlocks at various points in the nightlies) and now I think is using an entirely different BLN system (this is post-7.1 stable). There is also now a 7.1.0.1 stable version out but her phone has been better than it has been under CM7 lately so I'm keeping it where it is.

I'm not sure who recommended Warm for EVO 3D but my god the screenshots are misleading. They make it seem like it has this normal flat theme that is just translucent, but instead it's one of those ugly overthemed pieces of poo poo like every other XDA piece of poo poo ROM. Back to CleanROM I guess.

Synergy was really nice last time I used it. Also MIUI, if you can give up 4G and 3D viewing (you can take pictures, just not view them in 3D on the phone). MIUI is goddamned great.

I just switched back from MIUI for a couple of reasons. 1. Google Voice doesn't loving work no matter how many times I enable third party access to calling features and no matter how many times I reinstall it. I need to be able to dial out via my GV number. 2. Battery life on MIUI is loving ATROCIOUS for some reason. 3. No WiFi tether. I also saw that the MIUI 3D devs are doing their own thing and not following the Chinese release schedule. Which is disconcerting, somewhat. I also really hate the camera app they had to use. The minor bugs and force closes (and there were plenty) I could deal with (because the other features are sweeeet) but no GV and my battery not being able to make it through the day is just goddamn absurd.

The 3D devs release one every week, it just takes a day or so to get all their 3D specific customizations back in. My battery life has been ridiculous using the stock MIUI kernel. In a good way. I'm at 80% after 14 hours.

I'm fairly new to android. Everything everywhere says that the Nexus S 4G will get ICS very soon, but not how. I currently run on the stable CM7.1 ROM, but if ICS comes out for this phone I would be all over that. What's the deal here, am I waiting for CM 9 to come out for this phone or what?

It's likely ICS will be on AOSP soon after the Galaxy Nexus becomes available. At that point it should be fairly straight forward for people to make builds for the Nexus S. It will probably take a bit for CM9 though, as there is much more work porting all of Cyanogen's changes to ICS than just building AOSP for the Nexus S.

Not sure if this is the right place, but I am using the Open-Garden wifi tether app, and for some reason, when I start tethering my phone to my computer, the internet goes really fast, and then about 20 minutes later, it goes really slow, and my phone is hot. Is my phone (lg vortex) just getting too hot to work efficiently and it's slowing down my tethering speed?
