Then i checked the firmware, it is android version 2.2 aka Froyo. I was happy at first , but then i realise my phone lag badly! i cant pull down notification drawer, the drawer will stuck and in order to use my phone, i have to click the back button, so that the stucked drawer will close, and i cant type properly, lag lag and lagggs! WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED GUYS? CAN ANYONE ANSWER ME PLEASE? IS THERE ANY WAY TO FIX THESE LAGS? should'nt Froyo be faster and better? please please i need help... should I use Anvanced task killer or anything?

First thing you should do is a complete factory/data reset. The upgrade process isn't very good

@tragusman: erm how to boot into recovery, sorry im clueless ...

I think the things he is experiancing is more than lag its as above mentioned upgrading can leave things slow and reseting clearing cache etc is recomended.
Turn phone off then hold down power volume up and the middle button till it goes into recovery also you could use quick boot from the market its free and it will boot into recovery if the 3 button mode doesnt work.
No it wont put you back to 2.1 but may wipe contacts apps etc but the plus is a clean start.

@Gadget Check: alright thanks I shall search it up ...
@Tragusman: ok ok, thanks alot ! shall search up quick boot from android mart ...

[Q] Launcher

Hey guys
I managed to root my device with the first guide (oneclick) and uninstalled alot of LG crap, same time i uninstalled the LG launcer. - Today i got a problem with my device. I couldnt ring and hear people when i manged to get in contact.
I decided to factory reset the phone, but my problem is that i dont have any launcher now. When i do the hard reset thing (vol down + home and power on) i can get to the screen where i can type in pin code, but after that there is black screen cause there is no launcher. The search function dont work but the notification bar is working. so i cant get to the market and install. Mostly it just shows the LG logo when the phone is turned on and the touch screen is working cause it makes the click sound. But nothing else.
Does some one have an idea to how i can get a launcher installed ??
thanks in advance

Please use search function. This problem is already discussed here. You have to use ADB.

Hello my fren.. Did u in the 1st place had made backup or ur rom via nandroid before removing stuff from ur rom? If yes then its too bad.. But there is always an alternative..
1. Download a custom available here and place it in ur mmc card.
2. I presume that u have paulobrien 3.0.1.4 r1 - ClockworkMod Recovery for the LG Optimus 2X installed then flash it via clockwork.
3. Enjoy ur new fast phone!!

naah i did not backup.. thought i would never need it.. but i was wrong..
so here is what i did.
When the nortification bar was working i went into the musicplayer from there, in there i managed to get the search funtion in albums wich gave me the opportunity to search on the internet via the browser (wich i could not open or find cause no launcher ).
I went to 4shared from there and found a launcher but i could not install it because the installing from other source funtions was disabled. Fortunately it gave me the option so i could enable it and i did.. AND YEEEHA i manged to install a launcher and retsarted and it dos work !!!
Before when i pressed the home button it just restarted the phone i could do nothing ! only black screen with logo.. so i reset it and tried the above...
it seems that my phone is still rooted, cause i have the "superuser" thing but when i get time i will unroot it and sell this crap of a device and get back my old Nokia N8 again

Don't just root your phone without learning how to actually use the powers it gives you. If you remove anything from /system you will not be able to restore it with factory reset, because factory reset relies on what is in /system. But I guess you figured that out the hard way.
Learn to use ADB and nvflash, nvflash being the easiest based on the guides at 2x.modaco.com. ADB can get you out of most trouble by editing/replacing single files and nvflash will enable you to overwrite all partitions, i.e. with a stock ROM.
Everything you need is in these forums or in the wiki.

yea the hardway was more fun ;-) (actually not )
I was trying the ADB way, but my computer didn regonize the phone so it was difficult
Now i just need the stock apps and launcher so i can unroot it again

start off with this page:
http://android.modaco.com/content/l...rom-release-v10b-dated-1300166062-15-03-2011/
once you have restored the stock rom you can now delete the clockwork recovery by using this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021554
after that unroot in superoneclick and your all done.

What do you want for the phone - lol?

Funny how when ever some user messes up something - then its the device that is crap

Ehmm the deivce is crap... the sounds is terrible.. and the reason why i messed up was i had problems with the device. When i call some one they cant hear me and i cant hear them.. same with income.. but i can text msg.. and its not my carrier or other stuff.. it is the ceappy device ;-)

(Q) Overcome 2.0.1 Hermes Lockscreen

Isn't it an option under settings>Display>animations? Or somewhere like that...

negative. didnt have the settings

That depends on the ROM.
What ROM and version are you using?

hi, i got a question, maybe its stupid but i've tried searching and cant find it anywhere.
so my hermes 2.0.1 tab p1000 is under my Google account. and since i've bought the P7500, i'm trying to give the p1000 to my wife. made some google account for her.
the problem:
- i've reset to factory default, no luck (through settings)
- i've reset to factory default, usb format no lick (through settings)
- i've wiped through recovery CWM. still no luck
basically after all above, my programs are still there, my account is also there, and now my tab wont show the flight mode, and data mode when pressed power.. only show the overcome added menu (reboot, recovery, etc)
so any lights on this? should i reflash? i'm confused because all my stuffs is still there in the tab... and i want to clean it up.. hopefully without resorting to reflash.

[Q] Unlocking Phone - URGENT

Hi
I used a pattern lock on my HTC One which I forgot.
Now the problem is that its asking for my google account information. I can give it but both my wifi and mobile data are off.
Can you tell me how to turn it on so that I can enter my Google account information? or any way I can open my phone? Without resorting to Factory Reset?
Thanks
P.S - Please Hurry

You don't need Internet to activate it through your Google account, can be done offline

The time its taken to post and wait for responses you could have factory reset and been up and running again.

I have important data. Factory reset will remove all my data

I have a feeling you're going to have to do it

Have you tried a hard reset? Or possibly activating and deactivating airlplane mode in power menu?

Maybe removing your SIM card and putting a different one in might reset the SIM properties and activate the connection?

Do you have adb installed on your computer?
Have you checked this guide, maybe it works for you?
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1800799

I did try that. I have adb installed and unknown sources enabled but it won't detect my phone. Probably the drivers arent installed.
And they aren't installing either! :\
Anyway, Did a hard reset now.
Pity.
Thanks alot everybody!
Looks like there isn't a solution to this uptil now.

It's annoying when you lose data, I know about that first hand but sadly there's times where there doesn't seem to be a choice ... Still, look on the bright side, at least you aren't bricked lol

That's okay
And if I could pull down my notification shade, I would've turned on wifi from there only
If I could go to settings, My phone would be usable

Try to share the internet connection from your PC with your phone. Maybe that could help you.

[Q] HTC One mini 2 encrypted

Hi,
i just thought about encrypting my mini 2 and thought if there maybe is someone here, who already did this and can share his experience with me.
I would like to know if there are two or only one PW to enter the phone,
can i get pictures, videos,... from my phone via USB to my PC and watch them there?? (i read somewhere that this is not possible but this makes no sense for me)
what about rooting?? is it still possible to root the phone, after it is encrypted??
i shout down my phone every evening and boot it in the morning. So are the files always encrypted, or only when the phone is shuted down??

I think you only encrypt storage.
If you don't have external sdcard it wont make difference if you use password or other lock screen, as nobody can read the contents.
If external sdcard then encryption will work if you remove card to another device.
You don't need to switch off you phone every night. You can always use "do not disturb" option.
Rooting - you will need to unlock Bootloader and this will reset your phone to factory settings(you will loose everything)

Thank you for the answer.
About the rooting. When i rooted my Desire i needn't to make a reset to unlock the bootloaded. i just needed to wipe everything when i flashed a new rom

Maybe you didn't notice because you wipe everything yourself but when you unlock bootloader it resets to factory settings.
