Edit: Ok, it just failed to install. That's lightly disappointing, but oh well.
Ok lol thanks. I did this once with telenav replacing sprint nav, but I wasn't worried about that.

You might be able to push it with adb without root access

Just an update, I switched Rom's from Stock to Syndicate Frozen and picked up the lockscreen there. I do not need this anymore, but you can still update it for those who want it on the stock Rom. Thanks for the efforts.
PS - The Syndicate Frozen Rom with the Twilight Zone Kernel is freakin' amazing. My phone is much faster than I ever thought it would be. ;D
Yes please. I have been waiting for an eco5 stock aosp. It would be great i u could develop this. Thanks in advance.

The eb13 one works just fine. I flashed it out of curiosity and it worked no issues. Been running it for a few days.

Why wouldn't you flash the one made for syndicate.
The problem with flashing something that's not made for particular roms is certain hacks/mods will not function correctly and cause problems. Flashing something designed for eb13 on ec05 is bad also as there has been changes to the .jar and coding so **** ain't lining up right. It may be minor or major but I can gyrante something is gonna break

If anyone is adventurous they can use this simple DIY guide. I've used it when new roms come out cause I don't like waiting around for someone to do it. It's handy. Amosher13's DIY: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=969354

[Q] ACS Recovery?

how is everybody? well i rooted my girlfriends 4g a while back, like at least 4 months ago. and its been working fine. she now has a problem. she said she got an update from sprint and restarted her phone about 2 days ago. and it worked up. and her phone died today and when she turned it on she got sent to the ACS recovery screen... what do i do now to get past it or fix it if its a problem?
Reboot system now??
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
where is that? i was only able to see turn off and i did it and it only brought me back to the ACS. there are other options like restore and back up; wipe cache;wipe; advanced settings. and maybe im missing something but i dont remember seeing a reboot system now
You just need to get a ROM or Kernel and put your phone in the computer, then put the ROM or Kernel on your SD card, then just flash it. Should boot up.
Its the top option where it says reboot menu then you choose reboo system

You might be able to do it with Mobil Odin but it's always risky downloading big tar files or roms on your phone.
I'd just wait to get to a PC so its done right and safely. I know how it feels man, running rooted stock, its like wanting to get laid but no females are at the party.

Don't u need root permission to use mobile Odin?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
Yup, mobile odin can inject root and install the ROM, assuming you already have root. If you don't you need one of the traditional methods.

I've got a Sprint GS2 E4GT flashed to cricket and I change ROMs all the time. The only thing I lose is 3g data, but only when I flash AOSP roms, and that's easily fixed with a CWM flashable zip (link below) that I flash after ROM and gapps. And mms can be an issue, but if you do a little homework here, it can get fixed. Mod on! :thumbup:

I'm still trying to figure out how to get Cricket MMS working on ICS TW-based ROMs. I've tried numerous fixes, and either it doesn't work, or it works and incoming SMS messages stop coming through. Never really found a true fix for this.... any ideas would be much appreciated!
The only way I can get both working is on AOSP ICS or JB ROMs. I'm not bagging on AOSP (love and appreciate the work these devs put out), but I'm kind of a closet TW fan, too.

The only way I've found to get MMS working is by CricketMMS.apk
Install like a normal APK, then when you want to get MMS open the new program called "Cricket MMS" with a black messaging icon, and download the MMS as normal.
Just what I was looking for. I also had my S2 flashed to cricket....now I want to Root and install the CelstialBody rom. The first time I tried to Root it I got the yellow triangle and had to pay again to get it reflashed. Don't want that again so can anyone help me get some advice/info on a safe way to Root and install this rom....Please. Many thanks in advance. Used to have the cricket mercury....rooted and a nice rom but dropped it and broke.
You do realize the yellow triangle means nothing right? Thats just "voiding" your warranty. It will tip off your carrier that you have had custom firmware on the phone. It doesn't matter because its so easy to reset. Either download triangle away or like me just use a 2$ usb jig. Plug the jig in while phone is off and 5 seconds later no triangle and no binary count.

I used the app (no jig) to clear the triangle at boot. The Triangle Away app is free to xda members in Chainfire's thread, although he undoubtedly appreciates donations from buying the pay-app from the Play Store (it's the same exact app).

Tethering w/o root

Anyway i can tether w/o root on stock jb?
and if not how do i do it w/o installing a custom rom?
Don't think its possible without root. This is the quickest and easiest way to do it tho. To get root head here and download the zip.
http://download.chainfire.eu/233/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-d2spr-d2spr-sphl710.zip
Once downloaded, extract to desktop. Put phone in download mode and plug in. Go to where you extracted that and open odin (building block icon).
Load the cf-autoroot-l710.tar.md5(name may differ slightly) into PDA slot and hit start. This will take all of about 1 min. When you boot back up head here for the wifi tether apk...
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390208427046731813
Install and run. You should not have to change any settings in it. That Should be it
I hear Foxfi works really well, but i personally haven't used. Rooted of course. Rooting may be the best and cheapest option in my mind

You can tether over USB without root even on JB. Look in the Market for ClockworkMod Tether (no root). You do also need to install something on your PC. I've used and it works well.
