I have a few questions...
If i root using this method
forum . xda-developers . com / showthread.php?t=694572 (i had the regular link, but it told me since im new i cant post it)
is there a way that i can install a kernal to get it to 710 mhz? Kinda like the one in Buufed 2.1.2. I had it before and my battery life was great and the phone was really fast and responsive, but i wanted my visual voicemail.
Also, if im able to do that, would i be able to put Apps2SD on my phone even if i wont have a custom rom? Do i even need a custom rom?
Also, ive searched for relevant things, and all that came up was threads where people would reply "DO A SEARCH BEFORE POSTING! RARARA!" and not answer the question in any way shape or form, so please, skip that and help me.
I'm noobie enough as it is.
and also forced roaming...i tried out Cyanogens 2.2 ROM and it had forced roaming on it and that helped a LOT because my phone constantly switches between sprint and verizon in my house which would make it lag and drain battery faster, so my other question is is there some way to get forced roaming on my phone without a custom rom too?
sp basically im looking for if its possible to have Apps2SD, an OC 710 mhz kernal and forced roaming without puting any custom roms on?
Actually, all your questions are answered elsewhere if you would have just done a little bit of reading through the threads, or even just read the titles of some of the threads. Good job on trying the Search feature, just work a little harder at reading through the results next time. Also read the titles of threads. Being a newbie isn't an excuse to be lazy.
Here are your answers that I will kindly link for you below:
No, you can't have A2SD on regular 2.1 stock. The A2SD support code is something that has to be built into the boot image of a ROM. So yes, you will need to use a custom ROM that has A2SD support. That answer is in post #3 of the A2SD thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715116
You can't overclock the stock 2.1 because the OC kernels are packaged with specific ramdisks for each custom ROM. So in order to overclock, you will have to use both a custom ROM and the one of specific OC kernels for that particular ROM. That answer was found in post #1 of the OC kernel thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705074
There is a method for Force Roam, but I don't think anyone has got it working on the Sprint CDMA Hero yet. Cyanogenmod does have a patch for it. Here are just a couple short threads detailing this, both of which I was easily able to find by searching "force roam":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739208
http://forum.xda-developers.com//showpost.php?p=5405666&postcount=18
http://forum.xda-developers.com//showthread.php?t=572041
In short -- no, you can't do anything you're asking about without a custom ROM.
Also, in addition to reading more before posting next time, please also note where the appropriate place to post is. Since this was a question, it should have gone in the "Q&A" forum. Thanks, welcome, and good luck.
Also, please considering reading the rules and posting in the correct sub-forum.

Dang TTG, you are seriously a beast at moving threads quickly! Nice to see!
but it asked me if it was a question and i checked that box and posted my question about rooting in all things root..but thanks for the answer TTG's rom is basically what i wanted once i got it to work. thanks for the help with that
I have a HTC Hero (sprint) and have the latest Android OS on it (latest that sprint provides). The phone as you all know has gotten very slow.
I need to update the ROM to get a faster phone. My only requirement is that when I am doing phone operations this ROM should be fast and not get stuck.
Please let me know what you guys recommend. I really appreciate it.
THanks
I recommend you learn how to read, that will give you the answers (any gingerbread ROM should do). Also I recommend you learn WHERE to post a thread (this should be in q+a, NOT in development).

BOOM... you've been DUCED!!
I truly recommend you RUU back to Android 1.5. The OS truly was a lighterweight Android version back then. You should use set cpu up as well once you root. You can get it free since you registered with xda. Also, setting min and max cpu speed in there can really help save battery. set Min and Max both to 176 Mhz and you will have battery for about a week. My $.02.

Oh Duce, you get tired of hassling me so you come over here to blast noobs? Lol! But seriously, this is q&a stuff, not dev. BTW, what happened to the required 10 count before you could post in the dev section? OP has 7.

Id recommend to get adb devices recognized before you root and then use super one click to actually root it.
Its easy and easy to unroot. And plus you have adb so you can use that great stuff later

First of all hi! This is my very first post...
Ive got a problem about compatability check of nova 3 it said that device is not compatable but im playing nova 3 for about 2 months on my p1000 then i edited something in the build.prop and didnt edit it back to normal. Then i uninstalled nova 3 flash stock rom then overcome rom then restored nova 3 apk via titanium backup then the device not compatible error occured. Tried some solutions like downloading the device compatability off apk of nova 3, decompiling apk then editing device compatability check, flashing back to stock rom, installing via market, editing build.prop to nexus s, etc... But nothing worked. Im bit frustrated.
Problem theory: i think something is wrong in the build.prop but assuming that i flash to stock rom i thought that even not reverting the changes to normal are ok because i used odin which i dont if really know if it deletes the build.prop and changes it back to original state.
Possible solution: im thinking if someone can make a nandroid backup of there p1000 tablet with working nova 3 they can upload their nandroid backup and i will flash it to mine via cwm and just hypothetically thinking if it solves my problem.
Thanks in advance!!!

You're in the Galaxy Tab forums and your question is best suited to the S2 Q&A section. I know the subject is the same but the resolution may not be.

All questions regardless of topic belong in Q&A and this is a specific question about an app not a discussion topic. Discussions about app development, lists of working apps, theming/modding guides etc and even possibly app recommendations would pass as belonging there.
We try our best to keep it consistent across all forums but every now and then some do slip through which we try to eventually clean up.
Just seen this Nova 3 thread that is already in the Themes & Apps section. It was there before I was assigned here hence why it's been left. Maybe use that one?

No I'm going to leave it here as it's doing no harm and the OP is still trying to get help for their issue so hopefully there'll be no more questions about my moderation and more contribution to the subject of the thread.

I'm after some help with my CPU settings. I'm running stock android 4.1.2 on a C6603. Build is 253.
I've got Rom Toolbox Lite and it has settings to tweak the kernel and CPU settings. I'm after some help as to what settings are the best when I want a decent combination of speed (I'm heavy on the ole Internet and gaming) and lasting battery life.
Any help or links would be much appreciated.
I am rooted but a noob at messing around with it.

To be honest, I have never used ROM Toolbox.
Infact for such apps, most "tweaks" give you a negligible performance benefit.
The only way to truly get a performance benefit is to play around with settings till you reach an optimum.
If you are truly after good kernel tweaks, take a look at Trickster Mod.
For battery savings, I recommend the use of Greenify.

If you are coming from an AMOLED display, then you might find that the Z's display is a bit under saturated.
But actually, the display is quite precise. There is nothing "wrong" with it.
All problems with viewing angles were solved in the subsequent updates.

First, I want to thank you for bringing this to the Sony Xperia Z forum as this would help alot of new and old XDA members. Its an great idea the QnA section is indeed a mess and I do understand that most moderators are busy with other things as well, this would definitely save them alot of time.
Second, You've got my support

I can not mirror my Xperia Z with my LG TV, I recently installed the cyanogenmod and mirroring worked, but with the stock roms, does not work, can someone help?
I've recently rooted my Z with Doomlord's Easy rooting toolkit (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327472). The root was successful and I had verified root access. But whenever I try to change system files like adding boot animation, editing fonts or even just simply change system files to RW, my phone will automatically force reboot itself. Please help!!!

I'm using .423 but already tried with .434 and .253, but it's the same thing, I seek the tv, he thinks, and then the time to connect, it just disconnects before the image appears on TV, the strange thing is that in cyanogem worked perfectly.
Hi, since .423 update I got problem with background data. Restricting it for a period of time then removing it by tapping from notification or setting doesn't really remove the restrictions. Accessing play store gets pop up notification to enabled background data. Problem solved by reboot. Anyone experience this and know how to fix this? Thanks in advance. Sorry for bad english.

The very first thing you do now is "Read ALL the sticky posts (the ones which are pinned) in the General Section and the Android Development Section of this forum."
After that you can move on to installing a custom rom, overclocking, using scripts etc. But remember that you and only you are responsible for anything that happens to your phone. Of course we will try to help if anything goes wrong but ultimately YOU are responsible.
I hope to see your next post only 'after' you have read and understood the Sticky Posts.
