I remember months ago there was some sort of excitement about the Atrix 4G getting an unlocked bootloader or some such craziness. Whatever happened with that? What's the ROM scene like for the Atrix?

Tunga posted:I'm interested to know what ROMs people are running on the GSM GNex. I recommend trying codename android. It looks stock while allowing for some customization. Use the included ulv kernel and don't install a 3rd party one. My usage is pretty light, 2-4 hours per day of calls, gmail, google reader/current, google maps, g+, pandora. It lasts about 3 days before recharge. YMMV however this area has pretty decent tmobile signal so its not spending significant battery life searching for towers. 1.6 is out but I haven't upgraded from 1.5.5 because it has been very stable so far and the changelog didn't mention anything interesting. Currently waiting for the base to move to 4.0.4 before updating. Didn't like liquidsmooth but that was before the new update. Noticed the same slowness in the UI. Why they switched to apex launcher is a mystery. The default launcher is great already. Haven't tried aokp.

It means that there's a shitload of ROMs available for people who willingly flashed that special leaked engineering bootloader. However it also means no radio upgrades, so that's the one caveat.

Tunga posted:So I tried LiquidSmooth which fixed that, but instead I now have a general slowness when launching and switching between apps. It also sometimes just kicks me out of an app without any kind of error. Plus Wi-Fi toggle is slow and GPS is broken. This has recently been fixed I believe. Some people still had issues with the wifi/bt thing, but I believe there's a patch to fix it somewhere in the xda thread. Use franco's kernel if you can, the 121 nightly is amazing, great performance and some battery life. Forewarning, you will have to update apex launcher more than likely, because of a negligible fc at boot. If you have graphical errors, like distortions in intensive games, get the 384 version of 121. This all applies to the CDMA version as well, hope it helps.

Tunga posted:Are there any aftermarket ROMs which just work? Or is this likely to be a kernel thing? I'd try stock but I can't live without notification toggles! You can get notification toggles with Widgetsoid. I figured I'd experiment and I'm running stock 4.0.4. I spent many hours screwing around with flashing new ROMS on all my other Android phones. So with my GNex all I did was unlock the bootloader (and change from yakuw). I was tired of screwing with it, and having the apprehension that maybe I'd brick it. I didn't even root it. I've used it for two weeks now, and I've had absolutely no issues with it. No random reboots, no getting hot, no weird battery drain.

I've read back the last 10 or 15 pages but didn't see this so sorry if it's repeatedly asked... I'm on a year old CM7 mod with my Nook Color, does anyone know if there's a stable kernel / ROM build that can be copied to a SD card and let's it deep sleep? Tired of losing up to 30% of power per day it's not plugged in. Or is there a good CM9 build yet? I love ICS on my Transformer Prime.

I also had all sorts of FC and reboots withmy Gnex with Cm9 on it. Whenever I would turn off wifi tethering it would reboot. That doesn't happen at all on my stock unrooted 4.0.4 GSM GNex now.

They also did some voodoo with the LCD response, because I used to have a hell of a time on the edges and corners (specifically the top right corner, which made it a bitch to use the Market), and now it's perfectly fine.

I may be having to switch phone carriers soon. I will probably be going to Verizon, as they give a discount to my company. Assuming I want to root my phone (I do), what phone of theirs has the most support in the rooting community right now? I prefer a phone with flip-out keyboard if at all possible, but my big thing is that I want it to be fast and have good roms available for it.

Hey guys, trying to root my Samsung Captivate but it seems like all of the methods to do so don't work or are outdated now that I have it running gingerbread. Can anyone help me out and tell which method I'm supposed to use? I tried using a process that involved Odin, but the program simply closes as soon it opens, which I find odd. any help?

Are you wanting to just root your phone and continue using the stock Touchwiz/Samsung ROM? Or did you want step by step instructions on how to root, install CWM Recovery and flash CM9 or another ROM. I'm willing to do either for a fellow Captivate bro just tell me what you want.

I was so excited when Keyan made the source for CM9 for Sensation official last week, until I saw how dicked up it was. Vorbeth seems to be the only one working on it, despite not even being a CM9 team member, and apparently Keyan had ganked a bunch of his code for a repository which wouldn't even compile properly. After code was properly attributed and Vorbeth has been working on stuff ever since, the ROM still has a laundry list of problems. I was excited about trying it out, until I saw that people were getting 5 hours of battery life, multi-touch issues, working bluetooth that doesn't really work, USB issues, call volume issues, and other assorted poo poo. I still have to use my phone every day, and it still seems far from a 'driver'. I also saw that AOKP has a pyramid build that they're publishing, but for some reason, they find it entirely unnecessary to even list what works and what doesn't. I assume it's the same issues CM9 has, since they should out to the CM9 team and Vorbeth. Anyone tried it? But seriously, why wouldn't you just say what works and what's broken? Fishing through comments doesn't really let you know, since user comments differ so much. http://rootzwiki.com/topic/21440-aokp-pyramid-april-9-build-31-404/

Ok I wanted to start all over again from square one with my phone but it seems like I can't. I rooted it, put Titanium Backup and Rom Manager on and then ran into trouble with reading comprehension and the small amount of people who care for rooted Vortex's. So I wanted to just give it another go but after I factory reset my phone and formatted my SD card to make sure I was fresh I saw that Superuser is still in my app drawer. And I don't know what that means because I'm an idiot. What the gently caress do I do to start over and try this all again. I just want to root my phone and toss a ROM on take off some bloatware but loving hell if I can find any reliable or helpful information outside of here  Do I just start from the "OK now it is rooted whats next"? I'm getting so frustrated over such a small thing but goddamnit goddamnit

And I don't know what that means because I'm an idiot. When you do a factory reset, you are clearing your Data partition which is where your user apps from the market live. System partition is not affected. In other words, you reset back to the default state for your current ROM. MeinGott posted:What the gently caress do I do to start over and try this all again. I just want to root my phone and toss a ROM on take off some bloatware but loving hell if I can find any reliable or helpful information outside of here You may need to flash a new radio if you're changing to a wildly different (e.g. newer) ROM but I've never even heard of your phone (in the UK) so that's getting a little beyond the general knowledge I can offer. The thread for your ROM on XDA should tell you if a specific radio is needed, somewhere amongst the huge spinning GIF headers and primary school spellings. Edit: If you phone is working (i.e. it boots) right now, make sure you take a nandroid backup of your current setup and copy it to your PC or somewhere first. Even if you hate your current ROM, you can at least flash back to that if anything goes tits up. Tunga fucked around with this message at 12:04 on Apr 10, 2012 |

How many people here are running LiquidSmooth Rom for the Galaxy Nexus, and how are you liking it? Are there any major setbacks? I'm basically looking for something that runs better than stock, with exactly the same functionality. Also, what's the recommended kernel for liquid? I see leankernel is most popular over at rootzwiki and franco.kernel is popular over at xda.

I'm running Liquid 1.25 with leankernel 3.1exp 180 with no problems. No setbacks at all, runs great, and much better battery life. If it wasn't for the AMOLED screen draining the power so much, battery life would be through the roof.

I was getting my computer set up to be able to root my HTC Amaze when it arrives, but I hit a snag almost immediately. When I tried to install the HTC drivers (Win XP), nothing at all happens. It opens, and for a split second there is a entry for it under the processes tab, and then it closes and never installs. Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks Tunga. Yeah I posted that around 4am and I had being messing around with rooting and ROMs and all this jazz for about 8 hours then  Ok I got my ROM on now as far as I can tell I need to put GAPPS on which I guess is Google Apps. I don't think I was just supposed to drop the METAINF and system folders right into my SD card but hey I'm sure I can find out soon enough! There is still a few things I'm confused about since this is all VERY new to me. 1.) What the heck is a Nandroid back up. I looked around google for a general "OK this is what this does" but I already have ClockWork do I need this too? 2.) I went dumb and accidently re reformatted my SD card and now I don't have my backup from Titanium  is this bad?3.) I have the contents that were on my SD card copied to my computer. Can I just drop these back onto my SD card re-download the app and not have to worry about setting etc etc? 4.) Is it OK if I let things update automatically or should I do it all manually?. I think there is more but nothing is coming to the front of my mind.

Nandroid backup is a backup made in the recovery. There is a backup submenu on the main screen of the recovery. 2. App settings weren't necessarily saved on your SD card. See #3. 3. If you deleted your Titanium backup, you are shitfucked in terms of getting your app settings & save games back. You may have lucked out and the settings were stored on the SD card but it's not terribly likely. 4. Automatic/manual updates are entirely a matter of preference.

Well poo poo. Oh well I can live with all that. My biggest thing now is the goofy lock screen bug. I guess CM7 doesn't like Vortexes so it likes to not show your lock screen sometimes. I think there is a fix I just gotta fiddle with some stuff. I need to locate the camera fix too as this ROM is what I want but I HAVE to have a working camera. Its 2012 what if I have to take a video ofthe end of the world for my grandroaches? verbal enema fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Apr 10, 2012 |

I think it's the kernel it comes with which sucks, everyone seems to run it with Lean or Franco instead. I was having problems with LiquidSmooth and lag, and ended up switching the governor (under Liquid Settings -> Performance) from interativex to ondemand. Everything has been as smooth.... as liquid... since
