Might as well ask here... is there a way for a rooted Thunderbolt to display LTE bars along with or in place of the CDMA bars?

There's some antenna bar widgets that take only a single grid space; some of them might be able to do it.

Fuzz1111 posted:Does the phone have to have debug mode on for download mode to work? Do you need to know the password for download mode to work? If no for both then there's no stopping someone flashing an insecure kernel regardless of your debug mode setting. I'm not familiar with "download mode" (it appears to be a Samsung thing, I've only had HTC) but from what I saw in a bit of Googling you might have a point. Then again, most recoveries have USB mount as well. No matter the phone a sufficiently determined attacker could just do a backup, edit the backup to include backdoors of their choosing, and "restore" it all without needing anything outside of recovery which is not protected in any way. In either case though, this is where we need to define the actual goal we're aiming for. If the goal is protecting the data stored on the phone from access, in the hands of a malicious user while rooting itself will not provide any new vulnerability the near universal post-root installation of a recovery image supporting backup does provide a trivial and unprotected method of accessing all the data on the phone as well as modifying it to disable any security you may have. Direct encryption of the data in a way which does not depend on key files stored in the phone's flash is the only way to avoid this reliably. If the goal is preventing use of the phone, there's nothing you can do on the phone itself because the factory reset "I forgot all my passwords" option is always still there. Hope that your carrier will actually disable stolen handsets. I know AT&T doesn't, not sure about the rest. wolrah fucked around with this message at 16:49 on Apr 16, 2012 |

Trying LiquidSmooth on my Galaxy Nexus right now. I've tried Codename Android which was pretty good, and AOKP for a bit, but haven't really been happy with any of these. I want a customizable ICS ROM - anything else I should be looking at?

I'm currently backing up and getting ready to install the latest Gummy build for my G'Nex. I was using Rootzboat v8 with it's stock kernel and my battery life was pretty poor. With the extended battery I only got around 9 hours. Using the previous release of Rootzboat and LeanKernel, I was able to push 18-20 hours on the extended.

There's a reason there isn't a ton of customization....ICS is just that good as it is to be hosed with much. Also I almost forgot to post, I've installed the extended battery and so far with Liquidsmooth franco.kernel r135 I'm on 1day 2hours and 19minutes with 48% life left running on a mix of wifi and 3g/4g.

Goddamn I wish I weren't in Hawaii. The signal indicator on the battery use screen rarely goes green. Such a drain on my battery! I'm usually sitting around 40% by the end of the day, with 4G/wifi.

GNEx users, I'd say try out the CM9 nightlies. No official RC's or stable builds yet, and there are some features missing (no built in tether for example). However, I've been running them for a week and I've had zero FC's, zero reboots, zero SOD's, zero dropped calls, constant 4g signal, as well as 18 hour battery life on medium usage. Definitely daily driver. I've been off my charger since 0630 this morning (currently 9:13 PM where I am) and I'm at 40% battery. This is with francokernel. I'm voting best ICS build for GNex. I tried Gummy and one other. edit- a week ago they didn't have stock overclocking on CM9 nightly-- now they do. Features are coming fast. Edit 2- VVVV yeah im an idiot and never saw it Bob A Feet fucked around with this message at 04:22 on Apr 17, 2012 |

CM9 nightlies for GNex have had overclocking for at least as long as I've owned the phone, which is almost 3 weeks.

My Droid 2 keeps trying to update from 2.3.3 (last official verizon build, rooted) to 4.5.621. I'm bad at this and I've seen some conflicting information in my brief googling as to whether or not to unroot first, whether or installing rootkeeper will preserve root, etc. I've also read that if you are going to root you have to rename some system files to prevent the phone from auto-updating in the future and breaking root, and some people say to just not update ever because it packs a new bootloader which breaks SBF. If someone who pays attention to this poo poo more than twice a year could spell it out for me I would be most appreciative. Also, does foxfi even require root? It works, and I don't remember it asking. The only thing I've ever really used the root for extensively was tethering with the free wifi tether app that verizon broke ages ago. poverty goat fucked around with this message at 15:01 on Apr 17, 2012 |

I need some help with my Asus Transformer. A while ago I updated it to ICS and that caused major issues for me. I flashed a rooted OTA rom, the only problem that occured is that I lost USB connection (I've switched MTP on and off, USB debugging, no luck). Shortly after there was an update for the ICS rom, I flashed that update and it made things a lot worse. The update lost me root and CWM cannot see my SD card. So I lost root, cannot see my SD card in CWM and I cannot connect via USB to reroot it. If I move my backups to the internal "SD", is it safe to restore those backups?

I realize this is a long-shot due to how little amount of time it's actually been on market, but I have an HTC One X and really, REALLY hate the differences between stock ICS and Touch 4. I'd like to simply slap AOSP ICS on this hardware. Is this even possible yet and, if so, any pointers? The hardware is aces and fixes the few niggles I had with the Galaxy Nexus hardware but the software mix of ICS and HTC's crap is just kludgy as hell.

It's not AOSP, but I guess this would be the closest you can get right now. AOSP ICS is possible, probably just a matter of time.

I want to try playing around with the CM9 Nightlies for the Galaxy Nexus. Are there any good installation instructions for them? I only ask because I downloaded the latest (18APR12) and tried to flash it through ClockworkMod but it just hung at the boot screen and never fired up. Is today's just a bad build, or am I missing something?

A Pinball Wizard posted:I ordered a new, larger SD card, what's the best way to go about moving all my data if I have an sd-ext partition? Nandroid. Copy contents of the FAT partition to your PC (making sure you can see hidden files). In recovery, partition the new SD card with an EXT partition. Move the contents of the FAT partition back. Restore the nandroid.

You'd have to wait until a new SBF is leaked should your phone poo poo the bed and you need to reflash. The new OTA is 4.5.621 (based on Android 2.3.4 I think) which I think is made to update your existing Android 2.3.3 (4.5.605 I think?)

I have a simple policy when it comes to updating any phone I buy... I do it myself. I never accept OTA's because they always break root. I learned from other people's mistakes when they accepted the EVO Gingerbread update and couldn't get root for like six months, same with the Optimus S. If you don't care about root at all, update away.

Crap! I'm loving my GNexus coming from a Motorola Milestone so I was all set not to mess with it since it's magnitudes better anyways, but the extended battery life is something I just can't pass up. Is there any way to back up my Apps akin to Titanium Backup without having rooted beforehand? I've seen mentioned that rooting the GNexus involves wiping the memory and I'd rather not redownload everything unless absolutely necessary.

Not too difficult and you have to set up ADB anyway to unlock the bootloader so it's not even any extra work. Just do that first, then unlock the bootloader, then restore the backup and it should work fine. ClassActionFursuit fucked around with this message at 10:28 on Apr 19, 2012 |

I'm just about ready to permanently give up on having fully functional GPS on my Evo 4G, but before I do I wanted to see if there's some solution I might have missed. Running a Sense-based ROM (tried Fresh and SOS), the best I can get is the GPS dropping out mid-drive and not being able to work again until I restart the whole thing. With CM7, I can get it to work half the time, but if the GPS is on for too long the whole phone crashes and reboots. Everything was fine and dandy when I went from the stock ROM to Fresh, but trying GPSCRLX and the various GPS drivers with CM7 seems to have ruined the party for every ROM now. I've been in cache-wiping and flashing hell, and nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any ideas? Or is it time to forget about GPS ever working properly again?

Mounting the internal memory will often force it to switch to the external SD card.
