I just bought a Sprint LG Marquee (a rebrand of the LG Optimus Black). This is my first Android phone, although I do have rooting/custom ROM experience with Windows Mobile 6.5. Googling around, it seems like custom ROMs currently don't support my device. However, is it still possible to install something like ICS on my phone?

No, a ROM has to be made specifically for that device in order to work.

Awesome, I've held back on CM7 waiting for this. Nice to see that we will be probably be seeing it within the month.

I did go ahead and dropped CM7 on it and I'll observe and look for any weirdness. It said with the updated radio it may interfere with SMS messaging so I'll keep an eye on that in the next couple of days and if it's an issue I can odin it back to EH09. All in all not nearly as bad as I thought it would be, thanks goons. Edit: Edit 2: Disregard, I'm dumb. DeathSandwich fucked around with this message at 02:59 on Jan 14, 2012 |

So - new problem just popped up with my touchpad running cm7. Sometimes I'll plug speakers into the headphones port and they just won't work. Volume is up, other devices work, but the touchpad just won't play through the audio device until I've rebooted it.

I want to update my stock rooted Evo 3D with the latest update, which seems to be here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443592 But I'm really confused about what I actually need to download, how to flash it, and what order to do it in. It's been a while since I've dealt with stock updates...

I used Fresh back in the Evo 4G days, but I don't want to wipe and set things up again until there's a fully functional ICS ROM available, so for now, it's just easier to stick with stock. I think this update removes CarrierIQ, and I'm on a pretty early build as it is, so it's probably worth updating.

Is there a good alternate way to root a Samsung Captivate running stock Gingerbread?

I've run into nothing but issues with Fresh on my Evo3D between the dancing droid that lags the phone (and makes it impossible for me to answer a call before it goes to voicemail) and the lackluster mod app/updater that reverts the mods you wanted when you install a new one. The newest release of CleanROM (3.0 Preview 1) is so much better and allows you to modify aspects of the rom with a simple app. It also seems to be actively developed. Look in the "Developer Edition" thread on xda. FlyingCheese fucked around with this message at 19:54 on Jan 14, 2012 |

Coming from a WebOS phone, where there were apps and also "patches". So, for instance, I had my default SMS vibration set to 3 seconds rather than 1, and my battery icon was changed to numbers. This was done automatically in the OS itself, so no processes were running. I know you can change this in Android with apps, but I'd rather not have a shitton of stuff running if I don't need to. Is there something similar to the WebOS "patches"?

This animation lags my phone so hard I can't even slide the lockscreen ring to the Answer Call button. It just freezes for a few seconds and the caller goes to voicemail. There is a patch you can install from the mod updater app that removes it, but doing so also clears any other mods you have installed. nocal posted:blargh. I actually like my SGS2 stock...mostly.

Droid X owners: I've found that EncounterICS X (CM9-based) is stable for daily use. Wicked fast, too. No significant change in battery life from RevNumbers nightlies. I'd definitely recommend it.

Phone: HTC Incredible ROM: Cyanogen Mod *7 I rooted today, and used Titanium Backup to back everything up before flashing the Cyanogen ROM.  Larger concern: All of my text messages and my contact list are gone! I have the contacts from my Gmail account, which is minimal, and lost all of the numbers I had put in within the last month or so. No idea why. I figured Titanium would restore these, but I don't think it has. All my apps came back nicely, but that's a pretty big bummer. Please help! The wifi tether isn't working as well as it had on a previous root, either. I can connect with my iPad2, but it just doesn't seem to actually be able to download. 3G seems to work on the phone, so it's not a coverage issue, I don't think. It says like 15kb have been transferred, but I'm not sure if that's just a little initial communication the phone had with the iPad, or what. How can I get my contacts and text messages back? Thanks so much. Chinook fucked around with this message at 06:41 on Jan 15, 2012 |

Man, I really missed Sense when I rooted my phone to CM7. Contapps is cool, but its not the same. There is one ROM though that is centered around Sense, but I forgot the name. Just out of curiosity, does anyone know?

It disables the "ultra fast rosie" or whatever mod that flattens the 3D effect when you swipe to different home screens. It's quite nice actually because you barely notice that it's 3D and it speeds up switching screens.

Everytime I flash a new ROM on my Galaxy Nexus, after it does it's installing, and right before it gives a success message, the line "Random Offset 0x0x" appears. The last 4 characters there are always different, but definitely a hex string. Nothing out of the ordinary happens to my phone, everything is great in fact. I love the poo poo out of this phone. I love that every day there's new ROM updates and things happening. It's like the glory days of the OG Droid again. Also, Codename Android 1.1.1 and Leankernel: Minimalistic Kernel is great, definitely been my fastest combo and great battery life.

Your contacts should be synced to GMail (and since you didn't, they're gone) and you can use any number of SMS backup and restore apps on the Market to preserve SMS threads. Actually my call log came through just fine, strangely. Just that many of the numbers were without names. Too bad about the other stuff, I guess. I'm fairly sure I'd gently caress something up flashing the rom twice more.

So google dev says messing with your batterystats file apparently does nothing.

Just installed a rooted stock ICS on my Xoom. I wiped the whole system yesterday and went back to stock 3.2, and relocked the system in anticipation of the OTA update. Today I re-unlocked my system (wiping it again automatically), re-flashed CWM and installed the new stock ICS pre-rooted ROM. Runs great, and things like the launcher and general UI perform much better now. Downloads and links XDA Thread ICS ROM MD5: 64678b077c374c077f4e04b52dd32400 Clockwork Recovery Thread on xda Flashing instructions The ICS zip file goes on your internal sdcard. The recovery image should be accessible from wherever your fastboot.exe lives. You will need adb and fastboot, both available by installing the Android SDK and downloading an additional package in the provided UI. Process to install from non-rooted stock:

Now since your two issues are related, the way I'd go about it is this: I'd turn off contact sync now that your crap is in GMail. Then, go to GMail contacts on your PC and verify that you have all the information that's in each contact in GMail by comparing it to your phone and then once you're sure delete the contact your phone. When you have nothing on your phone and everything in GMail, turn back on Contact sync and everything will be perfect. Also make sure you're not saving things to the phone by default so this problem doesn't come up later.
