Hey there,
I am trying to help a friend with their Droid, who is getting poor battery life and lag issues. I have no familiarity with this phone, so I was wondering if someone could recommend an easy root method and what they feel is the best ROM? Thank you.

Universal one click rooter. Then install ROM Manager (free) from Market and download Shadow Rom v2. I've tried tons of ROMs and always go back to it. Fast and smooth!!
Copy the apk to phones memory card and use AndExplorer (or any file manager) to install it. Open it, tap Root. BAM! Rooted!
I was running Cognition for a while, and found in market a "quickoffice for captivate". Installed it, used it, worked great.
Re-flashed to Continuum, which is an I9000 based ROM, and now a search for quickoffice for captivate gives me nothing.
Is there some setting in the market based on hardware ID or somethign that's blocking me finding this stuff? If so, what are my options? Some app that enables different markets, or changes some string somewhere for identifying the type of phone? Or what?
Thanks for any tips.
Download galaxy s tools and rub the market fix. (it blocks apps that are not "compatible" with your phone but the fix lets you see all ) hope this helps

Or you could go to the Cognition zip at system/app and copy the quickoffice.apk to your new rom.
or just use this apk
I tried the SGS tools market fix. Didn't change anything. I still can't find it. I'll try the apk. I just was hoping Ii wasn't missing out on other good stuff because of market limitations.

Guyz,
I donno this is fact thing, or its not working with me. I have tried Many Best custom roms like FireKernel Droid Ace, ICSXperia v2 but i dont find any way to use my phone as modem or usb tethering to connect my laptop to internet. Internet works find in mobile but wont be able to connect my pc to internet using phone with custom roms. Right now Xperia Tised V2 i got working wifi hotspot and android usb modem, so could anyone explain me ? do i need to install other things in custom rom to start this service in my mobile ?
please help......
For GB based roms you need tools you can get from playmarket.
ICS/JB roms need special tools to do this afaik.
could you plz tell me ? which special tools ?
Thread moved to Q & A, post in the relevant section next time.

Help me - USB Tethering
Someone help me !!!
I am using Jusada Original ICS Final on Samsung Galaxy Ace. I need USB tethering.
Can someone suggest me a way to added the functionality in this rom ??
plz don't suggest me apps such as PDANET or Clockworkmod tether.
I have searched the entire forum bt couldn't find a permanent solution. Any help is highly appreciated.
simple solution is just move back to stock rom......there are no....other options available....i tried many roms...but none of them work...its better to have stock rom and update kernel for memory hack/battery extender...
Try the rom on the link on the previous page. USB tethering works. I'm sure it can make your breakfast too but I haven't found that option in the settings!

Thanks for the replies. but I am concern abt battery life too. I have tried many roms and wat I found out that the stock based roms lasts longer than other roms. I planning to switch to Stock rom lite 7.1 / Myth 2. Any body knows whether USB tethering works in these roms ??

Mate,
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538245 its stock rom Modded original os + Adrenaline and may great features. Everything works fine wifi tethering + wifi hotspot tethering + usb tethering. And if on some computer usb tethering wont work...you can always try to create a Dial up internet connection using your phone modem.
i'd hope that helps
Thanks

1) I don't think it's as simple as that. If it was easy all roms would have working usb tethering.
2) search for the script. They usually have their own threads. If you can find it and find a flashable zip file for the script then unzip it and see where the changes are, for example in init.d folder(/system/etc/init.d). Then you can delete those files from your phone and reboot. If you are unsure about this, tell me the script you mean and I will look it up for you. Make a backup first!
3. As the name suggests, stock lite is built to have as few system apps as possible. Make a backup first because some system apps you think are bloatware might actually be vital. If you mess up your phone by deleting important apps then just restore your last good backup in recovery.
So to remove system apps, use titanium backup or similar app manager to remove it, if you don't have titanium then delete them from /system/app folder on your phone. If you want to be safe then freeze the app first to see if it makes any difference to your phones operation. If the ROM is odexed you will need to delete it's corresponding odex file in the same folder.
If you want to add system apps then paste into this folder (deodex ROM only) and change permissions to (rw-r--r--).
To move system apps (I assume you mean to a user app?) depends on a few things. If you have a good app manager like titanium backup use that. If the app is on the play store then remove it from system and reinstall from the play store and it will be a user app. If not then move it from /system/app to /data/app (depending on your preferred method of getting around the limited internal space on the ace, like link2sd, cronmod, etc. your user apps could be somewhere else) and ensure the permissions stay the same. (rw-r--r--)
I hope this helps and I'm sure that if this answer to your questions can be improved or corrected, someone will do that!
Best of luck!

Thanks Dude, I am on it.
Hey everyone. I am happy that we have a kernel with write protection removed. Thanks to CurbThePain and rbheromax. Please use this thread in making a list of bloatware that we can remove safely without bricking our phones. I have been freezing apps with TB and kind of observing how the phone runs. If anyone has tried this or is interested in making a list, please contribute. Thanks everyone.
All google apps expect for playstore or frame service or keyboard I remove the google apps they take space I remove play music movies calendar alarm clock launcher and replace it with nova
I have removed pretty much everything short of the Google framework, HTC Sense, and some of the HTC services (simply because I don't know what they do). I left the clock. I like the clock.

When I had a HTC sensation I removed HTC sense but takes out a lot but there was a lot of development on that phone fast this one kinda standing still so make a back up and remove let us know I don't have root yet but I will
I'm currently in the process of making a non-bloat deodexed, Senseless, rooted stock ROM. I'm literally deodexing all of the system apps as we speak. There's ~390MB of bloatware that can be safely removed (if you don't mind removing Sense/using a different launcher). I might plop out a list later on.

Bloatware Removal
I am somewhat new the this rooting trend lol. However I got my 510 rooted (boost mobile). I just want to remove bloatware so I can free up some space. However I am not sure how to go about exactly removing it.
I got the kernel for S-Off and some other nice tricks from here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/des...sprintboost-modded-desire-510-kernel-t2969979
I was reading and found out you can boot the kernel and remove the bloatware and then reboot using the stock kernel again. Which is really all I want. What do you use to remove/unbloat the 510?

Download an app called flashify and backup your current kernel do what you want and flash back. You're limited to 3 flashs per day so go ahead and support the dev if you feel it helped. As far as what is safe to take off, there are reports of things around here so just check around.

I successfully flashed rbheromax's v1 kernel, got the apps and such, and still have S-ON. If you're having trouble with persistent bloatware, that could be why. I'm looking for answers and will reply again if I can get it fixed.

Hi guys,
I foolishly removed the sprint_vowifi apk/odex not realizing it's something I do use on occasion (rarely make phone calls, but recently have been dialing into conference calls for work). Could someone make a backup with titanium and share? I would really appreciate the help.
simple question, is supersu NOT for deleting bloatware? do i have to do all that manually? i tought that was the wole point behind rooting and this useless supersu app.
