My current setup on Moment

[Coldcloud]

Wow I have to say my Moment is running pretty good right now. I have rooted it and I am running the Radioactive ForYo 1.8.5 ROM (which if you haven't tried yet it is very very smooth) with Launcher Pro Beta and this combination is legit!!! I love having more than just three screens and being able to wifi tether!!! Plus Live wall papers YESSSS!! Add my array of widgets and I have quiet the productive phone.

So what is everyone else's setups right now? Using a different launcher? What ROM are you running? Any killer apps you cant live without?

i am using a Custom SDX ROM with joeykrim kernal, forcytos recovery, robotguys ARMv11 and calculator, custom screens, boot and load images. i am not sure what launcher i have or where i got it. is an x in the middle for app drawer and 4 shortcuts for browser, phone, contacts and messenging. LOVE it because it saves screen room not having to have those 3 shortcuts.

I've been running the dream roms from DearmasFamily. Currently I'm running Interceptor v5 and the phone is amazing. The little extras like the htc phone tools make the phone so much better. I think I like launcherpro a little better than the touchwiz though so I'm getting ready to go back to it.

Please excuse my ignorance but What is ROOTED mean?

 

[SoulTerror]

I have rooted my phone which basically gives me admin rights over my phone. I can uninstall the Sprint bloatware that is on it pretty much. That's the only advantage I've noticed over going root.

Rooting allows you to load custom ROMS too, which can increase speed and smoothness. They also can remove the bloatware and add cool things like the wifi tethering app or even themes and custom boot logos and animations.

thank you for the explanation of rooting.....but is this all nessasary? My moment seems to be working fine .....or maybe I'm nieve?..

 

[SoulTerror]

You don't have to root your phone. It actually voids the warranty if I believe correctly. I just did it to remove some of the Sprint bloat wear in hopes of speeding up my phone and improving battery life, but I really don't know if I want to load someone's ROM on my phone. It's your call.

is it nessasary? no. my moment worked just fine also. i chose to root for mostly cosmetic reasons. being able to change colors and the like. and the custom boot animations. also for tether support.

the phones are meant to be perfectly fine and workable on their own.

its like buying a corvette cause its fast and pretty...

rooting is like taking that stock vette and adding a better muffler and tires etc. just makes a great thing THAT much better.

But also voiding your warranty on your new Vette! If you have the money to replace it if anything happens, then go ahead...

I'm running a custom ROM from the kitchen. I have little kernel 1.5 on there, I'm using launcher pro beta as my main launcher, and removed a ton of the sprint bloatware. I didn't mess with the stuff I didn't know about, I JUST rooted a few days ago, and bricked my phone/got a replacement in the process (lesson learned, do NOT mess with the boot logo).

I also have this theme installed. I don't really LIKE themes, but this is just a stock theme, I love the battery replacement. It keeps the battery time lite icon out of my status bar.

Only if you don't know how to flash back to Stock

How do you flash back to stock?

 

[IOWA]

How do you flash back to stock?

Go to the Sprint site, download the Sprint Update tool from the moment software support, flash.

Is there a way to do that from recovery 3.1.1?

 

[Arty_Harvy]

My setup in the sig. Rooted 2 days ago. I have a new found love for the Moment!!!

 

[ovrrdrive]

No worries about rooting and the warranty. All you have to do is use the update tool from sprint and the phone will appear stock and unmolested. I haven't seen anything anywhere about rooting and voided warranty though except people saying they "think it voids it" on the internet. I don't think sprint is checking firmware on bricked phones when they warranty them.

IF your using a custom recovery, then no.

 

[Stoney62]

Is there a way to do that from recovery 3.1.1?

Why would you want to do that? To save all your apps that screwed up your phone in the first place? You're needing to "wipe' your phone to original/stock aren't you?

I notice everyone hear is using Launcher Pro, is that home replacement app better than ADW.Launcher?

 

[K-Rizzle]

I haven't tried ADW but I loooove launcher pro!!! My only other experience with a home replacement was panda-home and it was kind of meh. I used it on my hero and it slowed it way down.
