    Root [Avail] Make (almost) any app a system app

    Two ways to do this; ES File Explorer, or Titanium Backup. I have found that the ES File Explorer method is a bit easier, and has a higher success rate, but I will describe both here for you. To make an app a part of your system ROM, which saves space on your Internal memory, follow these...

    Ringtones, Notifications, Alarms = ES File Explorer FTW

    Finally figured out how to set ANY song as an alarm, a notification or a ringtone, after having hacked apart several songs to come up with crappy, crunchy-sounding files that had about a 30-second limit. Instead of selecting the tone using the native file system, just use ES File Explorer. Not...

    Help Screen turns off during all calls, won't come back on, cannot answer

    Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue. Whenever I receive or make a phone call using my phone's native dialer, it ALWAYS goes black within seconds, and nothing I do ever consistently gets it to turn back on, if anything does. I've tried pressing every button, tried pressing the...

    Root [Avail] Clockwork Recovery Mod files - Installable to a different Avail?

    While I have no idea how to write scripts or change kernels or make custom ROMs, I HAVE been tinkering with this phone to the extent of my current technological prowess. In doing so, I have managed to create a Clockwork Recovery Mod backup that eliminates all of the bloatware, includes Go...

    Error processing purchase - Cannot update any apps

    Yesterday, I tried the one.three of Anthony's, and didn't really like it, so I went back to the backup I had made with Clockwork Recovery. I successfully flashed his new kernel today so I could overclock, and it works great, but, my Google Play Store is not working properly. Every time I try...

    Best video player app for Avail?

    I have tried several of the media player apps available for the Avail, and so far, none of them work as well as I would like. All I am really trying to do is to watch regular H264, MKV or MP4 videos without needing to convert them. As far as I knew, the Avail should natively play all of those...

    Google Play website says "You don't have any devices"

    I recently did another factory reset because I was having trouble with the newest version of Titanium Backup Pro. Ever since then, somehow my Avail has gotten unlinked from Google Play. I can still access it from my phone, but the web browser version of Google Play shows that I don't have any...

    Root [Avail] How to overclock?

    I tried SetCPU since Anthony's newest one.two ROM isn't working with video yet, and it only goes to 600mhZ. Is there an easy way to overclock the ZTE Z990?

    Root [Avail] Accidentally unrooted; stuck at cannot create /data/local.prop permission denied

    The step right before you reboot the phone is what stops me. I can't get past this. I can enter the correct code of *983*7668# and it says the phone is in root, but nothing I do is working. I installed the Stock.zip ROM that was uploaded here earlier today because I broke my Play Store and...

    Root [Avail] Avail never asks for Superuser rights

    Just wondering if this is something unique to this phone. Already rooted and everything, but even when I had Superuser installed (I uninstalled it because nothing ever once asked for permission), it did nothing. The list never populated with anything. Can anyone clear this up?

    Help Replacing system launcher with Go Launcher EX?

    I had four quick issues that I wanted to ask for help on. I'd like to get rid of the old launcher pretty much entirely. Go Launcher EX is a billion times better. Can anyone explain how to do so without breaking my phone? I am using Home Manager at the moment, and it works well enough, but I'd...
