Database Develop

hello guys!

Now that i have done the one click rooting to my phone"nexus one 2.2 Froyo with ""universal androot"" I was just wondering what would be the BEST rom to install on my phone.What advice would you give me with your experiences. what extra things do i need to consider putting on my phone. what would be a good security apps to hold intruders from getting in my phone..i have heard of overclocking but have no clue as to set it up and at what frequency...I would like to keep my hot-spot , perhaps increase the sound quality and have a 720 cap camera just to name a few.Any help would be greatly appreciated
Regards

I've got Cyanogenmod 6 on mine and I've loving it. Fast, stable, and looks great!

cool.now my question to you is where do i get a safe link to download and what are the steps to do so..thanks for your feed back

Go to Development section and read. Each ROM has a thread containing instructions for installation.
I suggest Enomther's ROM.

hey!!!
I am so happy.I tried into recovery mode but I could not find the rom there.did not know if i had to rename it or....anyways ...i went into the rom manager that I had downloaded from there the whole thing was self explanatory.I did download the cyanogenmod 6 fist and then the kernel .wow this is amazing .I wish I had done that a long long time ago.My contribution to this great team is on the way ang in the near future!! thanks guys!!

Nice going! Where did u find universal androot?

so if i use this on my unrooted nexus one 2.2, i can get root access apps?
Im not interested in custom roms just want to uninstall apps like amazon and twitter and use apps like titanium backup.
Will i receive OTA updates? and you can un-root right?

[Q] Flashing XT862

I just purchased a Motorola Droid 3 XT862. It came loaded with a whole lot of Verizon stuff, and assumes I'm living in the USA. I'm living in Australia and would really prefer to have a choice of locale, and just get all of the pre-installed stuff off there because I'm not gonna use most it. From what I can tell, my only option is to flash the phone with a different firmware.
While I'm aware of the additional features of a couple of the mods such as Cyanogen, because this is my very first Android phone and I'd just like to play around with the stock OS before making any decisions regarding mods, I'd prefer to just stick with vanilla Gingerbread.
So my question is, for someone who has no idea what they're doing, how do I go about putting the stock Android OS on my phone?

Honestly CM is as close for Gingerbread you will get. There are some good stripped down ROMs based off of stock.

You should try Ice Cream Sandwich.

I'm not quite ready to try Ice Cream Sandwich just yet.
Do you think it simply isn't possible to get a stock version of Android for my phone?

I use Mavrom myself http://www.droidforums.net/forum/maverick-rom-d3/200510-maverick-rom-v3-5-droid-3-a.html
use it with a different launcher to get rid of the blur launcher, and the rom is pretty close to stock android. You can choose google mucisc and stock messaging too.
No verizon-crap either.
If you don't want mavrom i heard liberty is close to stock too, but never tried it myself and not sure if's being updated still

I'm not sure what the launcher is, sorry. I literally have no idea what I'm doing.

Well, motorola uses blur launcher.. which is basically the way your homescreen looks (=desktop) and your app drawer. So if you don't want blur use something like go launcher, or stick with blur if you don't care.
You can use morelocale2 (app) to choose your locale.
You could also just root and use the de-bloat script (stickied) to remove all the bloat-ware

You should root your phone and install CyanogenMod 7. It's not ICS and it's quite stable. It's an AOSP (Android Open Source Project) ROM so all those useless apps (bloatware) will be removed.

I'm not sure if Australia is GSM, but here's the link for the patch if it is. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357350

I'll give a counter point to all those saying "root your phone" or flash this ROM or that ROM. Since you say, " I literally have no idea what I'm doing" and elsewhere you say this is your first Android my recommendation would be to just stick with stock for a while and learn how things work before diving into rooting, custom ROM's etc.
In the meantime, one pretty harmless thing you can do is to try different launchers. These give you a somewhat different look and feel to the "desktop" but since they are really an app, you can easily get back to stock by just uninstalling it. That would be much more of a pain free way to go while you try things out and learn. I would ignore those telling you to root at this point.

The only reason I would root is because the battery life is better when you make some tweaks that are only available on root. Even if you just tweak the stock ROM with a couple things it can be worth it.

This was my first android phone and the first thing I did was root it. With pete's tool it couldn't be easier

so is there still no way to flash back to stock if you do the stage upgrade to 906?

[Q] Clean-up N7000XXLA6

I've had this Australia Note (carrier free) for a few days now and would like to remove some of the bloat that I do not use/want just to clean it up a little:
E.g
Ap Mobile
Accuweather
Buddies Now
Yahoo Finance (why is this on there?)
Social Hub
I'm on:
Baseband Version: N7000XXLA4
Kernel Version: 2.6.35-7-N7000XXLA6-CL907341
[email protected]#2
Can anyone suggest a course of action (with simplified steps) to get rid of all of this while keeping original functionality?
Thank's.

hey there buddy i feel your pain and sadly i can only give u some bad news followed by possible solution to your problem.. the apps you mentioned are all fixed and cannot be removed from what i have learned past year here but the only option i can suggest you is download titanium backup and pay the 5.99 usd and upgrade to pro.. then u can freeze all those apps for the experience u are wanting.. unfortunately cannot delete those apps without causing issues best is what i suggested.. trust me titanium backup pro will come in much more handy down the road not just for freezing bloatwares but backing up all apps and restoring together unlike any other app out there.. Highly recommended for every android user

oh yeah its the first requirement and it skipped my mind..lol sorry
even i just got my note 2 days back with LA4 after having used SGS2 for over a year.. really missing ICS on the S2.. still familiarizing myself with various issues with this phone to be sorted out like had to do with s2 year back..
you can either flash a KJ1 fw since your current LA4 cannot be rooted..
i also found this very helpful thread with rooted repacked odexed fws please give this a read also as i am currently doing might be less time consuming than the downgrading method.. still unsure! always helps to scavenge the forums and ask members for help since XDA is such a welcoming and friendly community

cheers

(A belated) Thanks!
Devil and Bayu:
Apologies for the late reply - life just took over for a while there. I'm normally straight in on these things.
Well thanks for the info - you've put my suspicions to rest. LA6 is not as straight forward as others. So I'm going to leave it as it is for now and perhaps root up sometime in the future and live with these dirty little bloats for now (I hate all this muck inside my toy really).
As for the future - I'm actually very happy with the stability of Gingerbread and just wondering if it's REALLY worth upgrading to ICS when it comes out OTA ?
I'm not the type that must have the latest and greatest OS BUT if it means that ICS will improve things for me, eg. battery (of all things), fluidity, etc... then It might be worth it.
Im interested on what you think about the official ICS samsung upgrade on the GT N700?
Will it be easier to root the ICS version when it arrives ?

you can remove the apks from /system/app to get rid of them
providing you have root access

just got the galaxy note now what ?

i have come from a htc hd2 so i like to change roms alot.
what should i do with the galaxy note ?
i would like ICS so what are the steps ?
any help please

Have a good search round this forum and make sure you understand clearly how everything works before you decide to start flashing, I came from the HTC Desire and the Galaxy Note is a whole different ball game. Enjoy you new Galaxy Note

is the official ics update any good ?
what does rooting do ?

I personally didn't like the official ICS update, that is when I decided to flash a custom ROM.
Rooting gives you more control over your phone, lets you install apps like "Titanium Backup" that require root permissions to run.

i have the la6 kernel
im lost

Apparently this really depends on your location. For example the one Samsung released here (France, 4 months after being announced, too) was so broken it bricked a number of terminals and was subsequently withdrawn. With no word of when a fix will come.
Apparently other areas had working systems. One would think it would just be a matter of strings to translate and a few apps to package, so it's all very puzzling to someone who isn't familiar with Android (I've been intimately familiar with Linux for more than 20 years, and Unix before that, but I still don't get it).
And then, as you'll see by browsing the forums, many people seem to have issues with ICS. Issues that (IMO) just don't seem to make much sense in a system that would have been tested for a couple days by an intern somewhere...
OTOH, many people apparently have no issues.
So as with everything on the network, I suppose YMMV, take it with a grain of salt, yada yada... void where applicable.
See if anything is reported about your proposed (if any) update. Then decide if it's worth it (maybe it is).

Same as on any other terminal ? Lets you access functions that are typically "off limits". Among the most useful ones, you can now read/write anywhere. Which means you can allow/deny anything for any application. And notably block all those silly annoying bundled apps so they won't want to update any more, or, if you like, even start (a process known as freezing).

Have a look at the videos in my signature once..
For Rom official one is good but custom ones are great..
All roms are unique in their own way...the ones that stand out as totally awesome are Paranoid Android and TMT Hybrid IMUI...
Its your choice...

thanks guys

yes, just be careful, follow instruction to the dot, and don't take any shortcuts,
also, it's good to have tb backup, as additional security precaution

1. probably, but make sure in paranoid thread,
2. I assume you have done cwm backup, which will be rather useless when switching ROMs, having tb (i.e.Titanium Backup) backup you can generally restore your apps and data between roms (except for the system ones)

And that was the right thing to have for the time being, too bad you hurried on to ICS. In my opinion, when you have a new phone, you have to know it, enjoy it, love it ( ? ), installed a couple of hundred apps, and then, after being more than familiar whith it, it would be time to upgrade it, tweak it, etc., so the change could be apreciatte. It's like eating always the desert at first, withouth eating the soup and the salad.
As for rooting, if you had to ask, you probably did't need to root, but since that's already done, I'll give you a hint. There is one VERY interesting thing about rooting which anyone would find usefull. The posibility of using a Firewall. In this way, you could not only block those annoying ads (and save a little battery since the ads have to download from Internet). You can also protect your device from troyan / spy applications, which are increasingly expanding in android. For example, a simple sound board app, or a screen saver, ¿why should it use your internet connection? ¿To what ends?
Enjoy the Note, it's a hell of a phone.

[Q] Root, Room Moms phone

I wouldn't. It's just my belief that nothing like that should be done, unless the owner of said device knows how to themselves.
Sent from my XDABBEB VS98025B v2.1.0 with ART using XDA free mobile app

If you're around to maintain the the device. I'd recommend a rock solid stock rom if you do (can't go wrong with xdabbeb's). I'd be uneasy having someone with a rooted device that could easily get themselves into trouble, and not knowing what to do. I maintain my wife's devices, but I'm around if there are issues and updates. I hide the root apps from her app drawer, but there's always the risk of her accidentally booting into recovery and wiping everything...
