This is an amazing phone for the price, performs better than the S2, and can be made to perform almost on par with the S3! For the VirginMobile model, you can root, install the stock firmware deodexed and de-bloated, and a custom uncapped kernel, and you basically have a small screen S3:

Re: [ROM][alpha] Victorious -- Stock 4.1.2 Deodexed & Optimized Bug List: Version 0.1.1 The updater-script does not remove bloatware installed in the data partition Alarm functionality removed in my zest to remove all extra clocks, I can post the apk if needed Possible MMS bug, needs...

Introducing Victorious ROM! A deodexed and optimized version of the stock 4.1.2 update for the Galaxy Victory Virgin Mobile (rooted only). Note - This is NOT FOR SPRINT!!! note- benchmark achieved with RedSpot Uncapped Kernel by JupiterOne WARNING!!! Installing custom ROMs on your phone could...

Update- I turned on bluetooth on the donor phone, and the bluetooth settings screen updated immediately. I checked the about phone screen again, and the bluetooth mac address was filled in. Turned bluetooth off, and the about phone screen again read Unknown. Turned bluetooth back on, and it...

Large drains in battery after a crash/reboot are usually caused by kernel panic. The kernel is attempting something that causes it to shoot up to 100% usage at the highest cpu speed allowed. This will often overheat the cpu and cause a freeze or crash and subsequent reboot. Kernel panic can...

FYI- on the donor phone I have, running the VM Security Update and CWM-Green recovery, the BT address is unavailable.

I have both screen drivers included in CWM-Green-recovery, but you still get a black screen?

If you've flashed the new kernel, it should read: Kernel version 2.6.32.9-v4 bobzhome@ubuntu #1

Either should be fine, only the ZV9 needs a special kernel, and I'll be adding Bob's V4 to the next build. ;)

You can try using ADB to push it to /system/app from your PC, don't copy it from your sdcard. Then reboot, and try opening it. If it crashes right away, use a root file manager and make sure it's permissions are the same as other apks in the system/app folder. If it opens, press your menu key...

Do you have 3G? For example, can you turn wifi off and then connect to the Google Play Store? If you have 3G, and you have already done a full wipe/format and re-install, then you might have to call VM's customer service. If you do, you should do a backup, flash a Froyo based ROM such as...

I just tested MMS on my latest build, and it works fine. BTW- I always test it before releasing each build as well. ;) Perhaps you have a 3g outage in your area, you can call VM or check their twitter account for details on most 3g issues.

Unfortunately, it's not as simple as not using a particular browser, or disallowing unknown sources. Those are quick fixes that may work for now, but do not cover all bases. For example, the DownloadManager is not even part of the browser, it's in frameworks/base, and can be called from...

From what I've read and put together from a lot of different sources/reports, the current exploit initiates the download, then the users has to agree to install an app with a name/description that makes it seem official (anroid.com.Security, Update.apk, etc). However, on rooted devices the...

I mentioned this several months ago, both here and at XDA, but got little to no feedback. Now I feel action must be taken! For those who aren't aware of it, there is a major flaw in Android involving downloads. Unlike on your computer that asks you if you want to download something before it...
