I'd like a new phone please.

Green Light: if you're worried about rooting (for any reason including technical ability or knowledge) then you need to read more *or* just enjoy and love the phone as is. ;)

No worries. Just a fun video for those familiar with Phil's work. I'd consider this case if it were available.

Whats that you say? You'd like to see a video of Phil smashing his hand while wrapped in this magical orange goo? Your wish is my command.

Just for Ss & Gs i decided to check out Franco's kernel on CM and I'm very pleased with it. I don't believe/buy into the whole artificial benchmark thing so I'm not going to sit here spewing performance numbers but I've seen an improvement in battery life which is important to me. I've noticed...

Wipe cache and dalvik cache, no need to wipe data.

Mystery solved. It was the set on boot box. Leaving it unchecked, against logic, allows the CPU to scale down properly lol. Checking it defaults the min freq back to the 1200

When i manually adjust mine to 384, i agree that while i'm in the screen it does in fact drop to 384 and can be verified by watching the current freq as you said. But if i leave and come back or reboot the phone ... yes the min freq setting changed back to 1026 but it's not a simple display...

on the topic of kernels, anyone noticed to min freq on the CM kernel is 1026MHz? This could be causing a battery drain. Typically, and i say typically because this is not always true, but each freq has an assigned voltage, the higher the freq the higher the voltage. I've seen some chips that...

Funny thing, i want the bumper REALLY bad, not enough to take it on the chin on ebay, but bad. I keep throwing money at my monitor and yet ... no bumper? Stupid Google! I'm starting to get a case of the "screw-it's" (phrase changed to be family friendly) and am thinking about going with the...

Azrienoch, from XDA TV, created a great video response to a Gizmodo article - Why would you root stock android?. I really dislike Gizmodo, so it pains me to link them but figured i'd lay it all out.

For those running CM check out the free app CyanDelta Updater. The concept is one of those things that's so simple yet so brilliant. Basically it goes out everyday and will download a delta update for your device. Rather than downloading the entire 200mb nightly, it will download only the...

I'll take a crack at understanding this but apologies in advance if I've misunderstood you. Is what your looking for is to turn on vibrate in the email app and the gmail app? Gmail - Open Gmail app > Settings (3 dots in lower right corner) > settings > tap your gmail address > sound & vibrate...
