    I finally had to do it.

    Best decision I've made. Now phone can be rooted and have custom recovery. Love all the goodies and multitasking ability. Posted via Android Central App

    downloading ROM to sd card

    Most ROMs, Gapps, themes, and patches wiil allow you to install from a folder on the SD card. I made a folder on the SD card I named: All ROM Stuff. I move everything there but the flash_image and recovery. flash_image and recoveries need to be on the root of the SD card ( /sdcard ), or, the...

    To Root or Not to Root

    Rooting allows you to install a custom recovery so you can make a complete backup (nandroid backup) of the stock ROM with all your user data and apps. Rooting allows you to install an overclocking kernel for better battery life. It allows you to install Busybox which is essential for some...

    android.com.phone stopped working

    Can you remember exactly which pre-installed system apps you deleted? If your rooted, use a root file manager and look in /system/app and /system/apps/bootup for list of pre-installed apps. Posted via Android Central App

    root using xp in virtualbox?

    I'm pretty sure only SuperOneClick version 1.64 worked to root the V. Had to use the Shell Root option and then push SU and Busybox as well as change permissions with a terminal on the computer, after proper setup of the Android SDK. Z4 Root never has worked for the V Posted via Android...

    [ROM+Kernel][CM-11.0][4.4.4][OS2SD/internal][f2fs]bigsuperROM-thunderc-4.4.4

    Bad Idea. Class 10 SD cards are notorious for problems in Android OS application. The class of a card only designates write speed. Not quality or read speed. Read speed is the most important for our application. Get a class 4 Sandisk micro SD card. They have the best read speeds with the V...

    Yes it is a problem. You need to use the recovery from the first post. I made a flashable zipped version. Download it and move it to the root of the sd card. Go to your current recovery and install like a ROM (just don't wipe or format anything). Then go to the advanced section and select to...

    Re: [ROM+Kernel][CM-11.0][4.4.4][OS2SD/internal]bigsuperROM-thunderc-4.4.4 You need to install the recovery I linked to in the first post of the Bean_Whiz ROM to Install the Bean_Whiz ROM. To install the internal version of the KitKat ROM you need to use the philz recovery. Posted via...

    Root Uninstaller regular version will backup all apps in their apk form to a folder it makes on the SD card. You must select Auto Backup from the settings. The Pro version just lets you install those apk's from the app. This is really not necessary if you have a file manager. Titanium Backup...

    I finally had to do it.

    Do you have a friend wth a newer computer with gobs of RAM? I would avoid those library computers if they do that. Which recovery are you using to flash the ROM? Posted via Android Central App
