Root Basix w/Electric Sheep OR Stock 2.2.2?

[raysfan]

Which combination is better, or should I say, which do you prefer, for those who have tried both.

 

[traajik]

my choice: basix + kernel + EG06+EF23 updated modems, for now.

at your own risk

Im actually using 2.2.2 (rooted) with V6 Supercharger + 3gTurbocharger + KAK and I LUV IT.... I haven't really seen much of a difference after leaving Basix + Sheep, my phone is fast and smooth plus I have nice battery life, so I'm pretty happy with my phone right now. Now dnt get me wrong, I will still change everything and test out anything new tht comes out for this phone.

You can put me in Shatterprof's camp.
But is it considered bias? Idk...

 

[raysfan]

Is there a thread on here somewhere that describes how to use/install those 3 items?

 

[dustinp]

All the sticky threads at the top have installation instructions in then. On another note, I'm working on a Rom based on 2.2.2 at the moment. If that works out all good, I'll make an attempt at getting gingerbread on throw r910. It might be a while, but since most have abandoned the indulge, its better than nothing

Well, just for kicks I decided to install electric sheep under 2.2.2. Didn't go so well. Everything works fine, but the AIO root exploit fails every time

I did the exact same thing. I haven't tried it, but one strategy might be to save off the copy of SU that you have in AIO and to adb push it back after installing 2.2.2

If you decide to give it a try, let me know if it works...

 

[dustinp]

Yeah, I tried that. I also tried super one click on a hunch, and came up empty there too

 

[traajik]

might seem like a silly suggestion but when rooting in the past i had it fail a few times. but everytime switching usb ports/cables worked. I'm sure you've tried this but just incase

 

[shinryuuken]

i don't know which script caused me problems, but i noticed i wasnt able to switch my keyboard inputs. i killed everything besides the battery life script and it reverted back to normal.

thank you for your further development on the indulge. Is hard to let it go when you know this little phone has potential. Curse metropcs for not sharing 2.3 with us!!!!

Here is a link to the Most Recent Scripts, the latest is at the very bottom. I know it might seem a bit confusing at first but its really easy, heres a link to the V6 Thread on XDA where you can get some help from the Dev and others as well. If you still need some help figuring it out just post back here and I will do my best to walk you through it but its always good/fun to try and learn on your own first, but REMEMBER... ALWAYS make a backup FIRST.

P.S
When you run the V6 script and it asks you about (init.rc support) choose "NO" or else youll lose root, but other then that you should be good.

Heres a link to the Script Manager App on the Android Market thats needed to run the V6 scripts.

I am currently running basix w/ electric sheep. I have a backup of stock 2.2.2 with mybackup root. Should I flash back to this before attempting this?

Thanks for all your help!

 

[Madbat]

Honestly I prefer basix + elec sheep because it removes metro's data throttling and package blocking.

If your going to compare the two then I would use 2.2.2 but the V6 scripts will work on both so you wouldnt have to use 2.2.2 if you want to use V6, you can stay with Basix+Sheep if you want .

So im on basix + sheep. And in the process of installing the supercharger (vroom vroom!!)

Out of the 15 or so options what are you guys using with the SS?

I dont use the newest v6 script (v6_RC6.9) I use the one before it RC5.2 and I use option #8 with that script.

Sorry for the lack of an update. I've been replacing the engine in my car, now that that's taken care of, I can get back to attempting to get gingerbread on this god forsaken phone. I'll start a thread in a day or 2 and give more details

I'll contact you via p.m. when I trust it enough not to brick anything. Id anybody has a good understanding of how the rom handles the lte hardware, i'd appreciate the info. I know there's the lte modem binary, but what other files come into play? My plan is to mod the r915 gingerbread rom to handle the hardware descrepancies.
