    Root Stock rom. Options

    Hi. I'm running Android 5.0.1 I9505XXUHOJ2, stock rom, not rooted and Knox in tact. I know I can root this rom using CF Auto root, and that it will trip knox, not too worried about that. But what next. I'm fed up of all of the bloat-ware that I never use, app optimisation alerts, signing with a...

    What Rom?

    OK, I have stuck with the stock roms for this device since I purchased it. Am getting itchy feet, and am considering rooting it and flashing a custom rom. I've downloaded the official files so I can do this, although I believe there is an unofficial one that is not detectable by Archos (not that...

    Thinking about upgrading to JB.

    OK, been on stock rom since I got my S2 i9100 in July and am now contemplating upgrading to JB. My phone is UK T-Mobile V4.04. I have rooted my phone using the script method that doesn't give you the yellow triangle that you get when you flash a different kernel. A couple of things I would like...

    Travel to USA

    I am planning a trip to the USA this year. I don't want to get stung with data charges etc, so was thinking of buying a sim in the USA with a data allowance on it. Will my S2 be OK in the USA for data use, and if so can anyone recommend a sim that I can buy easily once in the USA that will do...

    Help Android V4.0.4 released. Watch your battery!

    Well I updated mine last night. Went to bed with battery at 80%. Switched it on this evening having not used it at all and the battery was at 13%. It used to last for days and days without touching it. On the phone I had a battery drain issue when I upgraded to 4.0.4 but put it down to google+...

    Should I root and flash a custom rom?

    I can't decide. I had an HTC Desire, which was plagued with the low internal memory issue. I got round it by rooting, repartitioning the internal memory, adding an ext 4 partition to the SD card and flashing a custom rom (Mildwild.) In the end the phone worked a treat. My wife now has it and...

    Byeeeee

    Well, my Desire had a battery drain problem, running the battery flat every 7 hours. I know it wasn't a software issue so decided to have a look about. I was on Three UK

    Help Battery Drain

    Had my Desire for 18 months now. 2 days ago the battery unexpectedly went down to 16%. I'm not a heavy user of the phone and normally a charge will last me 2 days. So I assumed I hadn't charged it full, put it on charge and watched. And it's draining very quickly. I've not installed anything...

    Help GPS issues on Desire?

    Anyone having any issues with the GPS on their Desire? Well a patch has been released over at XDA. I've flashed it onto my Desire, with no ill effects. I do/(did?) have a GPS issue on my phone, where I would lose GPS lock, then regain it again every 5 seconds. Only happened once my phone had...

    Root About resize - Custom mtd.

    OK, after installing loads of apps and games I am again running low on space again, having moved all I can to SD. Now down to 22mb of internal space left. So I feel the time has come to consider repartitioning/sizing the memory, especially seeing as I like AOSP roms - currently on Cyanogen 7.1...

    Abuse

    So what's the most abuse your HTC has taken; and did it survive?

    Root Official 2.3 Rom?

    Just found this HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade on the developer site. Is this a Rom similar to other Roms that can be flashed from recovery, or is it just for developers? HTC - Developer Center Just curious. Not a developer of any kind; and I'm betting it won't address the memory issue either...

    Can someone get me a song please.

    Not sure if this is allowed or not, so I'll try it and see, if it's not just tell me and I'll give up - no need to get nasty at all. I am trying to get hold of a song by an artist in the USA. The artist herself actually tried to send me the song via an itunes gift. The issue is I can't download...

    Help Redux - where are my photos and movies?

    Took some pictures and a movie today. They show up in the gallery and I can browse, play and email them OK. But when I mount the SD card and browse the DCIM folder they are not there. Anyone know where else they could be? I did a search of the SD card and it found the thumbs of those files, but...

    Root Radios. Make any difference in UK?

    I'm currently on O2 in the UK and I get poor coverage where I live - had an iphone up until January and that too suffered. Problem I have is that the signal drops, usually during the night and in the morning I end up with a flat battery. So, I am considering 2 options. 1) Try another network...
