The link for the Pdroid + Data throttle mod appears to be dead.

There is a working link for Pdroid, Smoothscroll and Data throttle removal, will that break anything in Number_Two or is it safe to flash?
nope all will be fine, the smoothscroll is actually already included ;) so what is this pdroid thing? should i just include it in the rom..? would that be cool?

PDroid can be downloaded on Google Play and it pretty much lets you to set the private data your apps are allowed to use, but unlike other permission blockers PDroid supposedly doesn't crash any apps when you deny them access to certain data.

However in order to get PDroid to actually work, you need to patch the ROM you are using it on.

I think it wouldn't hurt to patch Number_Two to work with PDroid but whether or not to include the app in the ROM I'm not sure.

I definitely want the data throttle remover included in #2 if it hasn't been included already.

yeah maybe ill add the patch... cant add the data removal thing though because (for the esteem) it would only work for some people but slow down data for others... so it not beneficial for everyone.. :(

Well I'm not sure about all the ins and outs of it. The auto patcher wasn't working for me but I think you can push the 3 files or include them in the Rom. Anyways I'm kinda n00bish but all the info you need should be here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357056 hope this helps. Oh by the way I'm on #2 1.6 and everything is sweet. BT pairing is working like a champ. I was able to get pdroid patched using the mod for broken out Rom but it has the smooth scroll and data throttle remover included. If you want to check that patch out I can upload it to drop box and give you a link. Thanks for your hard work. :D

Gonna have to steal him away to cook something up for my motion. Haha j/k
lol i been poking around in motion forums.. but the truth is untill you guys get an unlocked bootloader it's still kinda unsafe for me to put anything out, specially since i dont own the device i would feel extremely guilty for bricking a device LOL.. but i do have something slighty put together.. just not sure if im happy with it or not :/..

as for now im struggling with an sg3 rom, dedicated to gettin it working lol

You should release it man. :p
You could always add things or fix things later. :p

Does every phone come with a locked bootloader? Even our Connect running Gb?
