What's wrong with storing images on your SD when you're on your computer and then transferring them? The phone crops pictures because of the Live Background feature. There is an option called "Single" that keeps it in place. To be most vivid use images of the same resolution as your phone.

QFT. I was doing factory resets every 15 minutes when trying to root my Mesmerize. I finally decided I'm keeping it stock because I'm upgrading to the S3 when US Cellular has their Thanksgiving sale. Essentially with a factory reset you're going to be using the phone you had when you opened...

Idunno. Check the Market. I'm happy simply putting images on my microSD and using them as background images. The live wallpapers are fun but they seem like they'd be a culprit in high battery usage.

I don't know... It sounds like you've got too much RAM being used in the background. When I need to conserve battery I disable Background Data... Settings >Accounts & Sync > Uncheck Background Data. I received my Mes as a second hand gift from a cousin and I love it so much I'm using my...

UPDATE scratched SuperOneClick. Rooted with Z4Root, now I need a lagfix. And I don't have 5 dollars on a card to pay for it right now.:-$

I have downloaded SOC v2.3.3 I've enabled Debugging on my Mes. Connected vis USB. Opened SOC and ran with Exploit set to auto but it becomes unresponsive on step 7. Waiting it out did not work. Do I need to set exploit to psneuter or zergRush?

Thank you my friend. A bit embarrassed now.:confused: Estimated prep time: 15 min. I talked to an employee @ US Cellular and he didn't even thinking rooting was a bad idea for me. Plus around Thanksgiving I'll be upgrading to the Galaxy S3. :D

Look many I'm in the wrong section. Maybe my phone is too old. Maybe I have a dumb question. But geez no one could even troll this post? Thanks a lot. Just needed more recent info. I don't feel like downloading outdated tar files and SuperOneClick and end up bricked.

I guess the Galaxy S forum isn't highly populated. I knew i was making a mistake accepting this newbie smartphone. I will wait until someone provides information on reliable/newest freeware to root.=\

I just wanted up to date info on what files need to be downloaded. These OneClick widgets and Titanium backup. Honestly I'm just concerned with the RAM usage on my phone. RAM Status: 280MB/368MB. Not critical, but i would like to free up my physical memory. Could root-ing help me?

So my cousin gave me his old Samsung Mesmerize (ICH-i500) running 2.3.5 to replace my olllld BlackBerry Tour 9630(RIP) I have no qualms with this phone(Save for these strange transparent yet annoying whitish lines that appear on the screen regularly) Now my question is, how can I maximize...
