I recieved my notice but haven't downloaded it yet. Waiting for the best advice weither I should or not

I'm guessing this is the beginning of it?
Wifi doesn't need to be on, does it? Or will it just take a while with 3G(barely)
EDIT: Whoop, nevermind, it changed now and says the update is available. I'm probably just gonna go ahead and do it, I'm sure someone will find a way around it later on if Froyo disappoints.

I know it's not Froyo, I'm saying WHEN Froyo does come, if it is not as good as I hope THEN I will root and hopefully people will have worked around this update.

Anyway to stop this from automatically downloading to your device?

Thank you for that heads up, I guess I will be rooting my mytouch now. I need to use a ROM that is still stock. I personally like Sense and I'm not ready to be rid off it.

My phone was downloading it, but when I noticed that it was, I killed the process! I heard it prevents root, so I wasn't particular find of that.

[Q] Sprint mobile hotspot question

If you are running CM6 or later I think I have read the native Hot spot feature is free. Is this true? I can't get wifi tether from the market to work with any success.
Thanks

dont use the market one, go to dev website that makes it and download the newest beta
linky http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=2&q=Evo

Ok I downloaded the newest beta.. still can't get it to go over like .8kb up and .1 down.. any suggestions?

Just use the one built in to CM6. Settings>Wireless>Tethering

I have a question is the market app bad ? Is there away to trace it or for sprint to find out ?
I'm only asking cus I'm having a hard time figuring out all this rooting stuff its extremely intimidating and because I don't kno to much I'm scared of doing it
And bricking the phone or messing it up but it defin I something wanna do I wanna theme it and everything

Wireless Tether usually works well on our phones. Sprint can easily find out if they wanted too but I highly doubt they will bother checking unless you start using ridiculous amounts of bandwidth.
Just be careful when flashing radios or your hboot and you should be fine. those are the main ones you need to worry about.

Questions about CyanogenMod

I am thinking about rooting my slide because I am fed up of waiting for tmobiles slow a**, but I have two question that I would like to know.
1.Can you still use swype??

You can install swype to cm but it isn't installed by default. There's a thread in this section about getting it installed actually. As for flash, I don't think that will work, no. I have never actually tried it, but theoretically, you might be able to download CR_Mod and extract HTC_Flash.apk from /system/app to say, your downloads folder, then adb push that file to /system/app after you root in clockwork recovery (remember to mount /system in the partitions menu in clockwork). Post back if you need me to explain more about that, and I will, I'm just using my phone so it'd be a bit hard on my thumbs to type the long explanation haha

Well, you might be able to pull htcflash/flash light from the stock ROM and use that, but I'm pretty sure that's a part of webkit, and I doubt that it would work on a different browser, so yeah probably not.

[Q] Another Question By A Noob!

Hey guys! I figured you guys can help me out with this question.
I'm considering rooting my phone but I don't really want any custom ROMs. I'm happy with my current theme. I can already tether.
All I really want to do is root and have a move to sd enabler (for those pesky apps that are really cool, kind of big and don't have the move to sd enabled) and freeze my bloatware.
Can I root my phone JUST to do this without changing ROMs?
Can I root my phone and still get updates on my current ROM?
Thanks for your time and your patience with this noob.

This i do not know. I would assume not.

Root your phone and flash sprint lovers rom. Or any 2.2 sense rom still lets you update. Plus you get to remove bloatware and look into other kernels that could give you better speed/battery. Why root and not change roms?

Because I don't know a lot about phones. I don't really want to screw anything up such as my GPS, wifi, or 4G. I'm comfortable with sense and froyo and I like them. My friend has the same phone, rooted his, and I've played with it. It's cool, just not for me. I like the layout of sense.
Please tell me more about Sprint Lovers ROM.

We're all here to help you bud, no worries. The sprint lovers rom is pretty much just a stock rooted rom with the normal sprint goodies with nothing removed along with a few extra tweaks. The rom is great and sounds about what youre looking for. If you search around the development section you can find really easy methods to root your phone and the sprint lovers thread is also there. I would link it up for you but I'm on my phone not home yet. But ill edit this post and link it up for you check back in like 30 mins. Rooting is very easy now a days and so is flashing. As long as you read first you should be fine. The only people who screw things up are people who don't read or research. If you need anything just pm me ill help you. Good luck

hey bro, yes you can root and keep the stock one, but remember IMPORTANT, dont accept sprint OTA updates they will unroot you, also you should consider titanium backup after you root it is usefull for freezing those sprint apps and keep them out of the way.
then try any app2sd of your choice, good luck
and if you ever decide to try roms, is not that hard and instructions aren't that hard my favorite sense rom is azrael xv4 very stable good battery life.

no prob, anytime man.

I just went through this earlier this week. Some of the rooting techniques require you to wipe your phone or flash a rom like sprint lovers, but if you just want root, I used unrevoked. quick and painless, took less than 15 minutes.

Unrevoked will do a lovely job for you, no confusing instructions or mess required. At that point, you can keep your phone on the stock ROM. Rooting does not change your ROM, it just turns the security off so that you have the freedom to do so.
There are many really nice ROMs out there and kernels that will provide better performance and substantially improved battery life.
It's at least worth the research, even if you stick with stock.

You will not be able to accept OTA updates from Sprint while rooted, at risk of losing root, perhaps permanently until someone finds another workaround to exploit.
Most people just wait until their favorite ROM developer releases the new Sprint base.

What are the Biggest advantages of Rooting SGS2 at this point??

So I am coming from a rooted and heavily flashed Sensation, we had several ROM's, and I tried them all. I know this phone is very new and the Devs haven't even begun with this device, but so far I don't see really any reason to root? Are there at least any cool tweaks I am missing? Again, I know it's all coming, but am I missing something super cool we can do on a rooted SGS2 yet? I want to join the fun, but I don't see much to get excited about (yet).

The roms the are out are well worth rooting for
Sent from my Hercules with xda Premium.

Couldn't agree more. Just the ability to back up your device should be reason enough alone to root. A better question is why would you not!
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App

even ignoring the fact of ROMs
you will need root, to gain full access to Titanium Backup, which is the #1 must have tool for migrating from one phone to another phone

right now i would say the roms, the beastrom i got is amazing, better battery life and data speeds!

The main reason I rooted was to get rid of all the bloat.

+1
And again, why wouldn't you root? All it does is give you complete access to your phone. Whether you use that access or not is up to you, but there's no good reason not to have it. You can always unroot if you need to return your phone and use your warranty.

Rooting and installing the EaglesBlood ROM has more than doubled my battery life.
If that's not enough reason to root, I don't know what is.

What about the portable hot spot without fee thats a big one!

Replacing the standard Gmail apk (the one found on the market) and putting this modified apk (found here):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16263121
In its place, which releases the power of Gmail unread count Widgets and launchers.
You need root to manually replace the Gmail.apk within /system/app/ folder with the modified version.
Oh yeah... also the ability to nandroid backup.

Honestly, I'd really love to root and what not, but I really effed up my Continuum on Verizon using ODIN so I'm real scared to use it again. I wish you could just use Gingerbreak or something easy like that.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

I rooted to remove bloat and to install TB, adblocker, terminal and cwm. I'm still on stock and don't see a need to flash roms now cuz everything working great. I'm holding out for ICS which you will need root for if you want it early.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

That seems like a good idea. I honestly can't complain with stock right now and would like to wait until something besides an ODIN root comes out.

Seemed pretty easy and straightforward to me. Much easier than rooting my G2. Had a little hiccup trying to put it in d/l mode since this was my first time using odin, but figured it out fast enough. Just turn off your phone, plug in your usb, and then turn it on while holding vol up and vol down at the same time. Should go into d/l mode instead of recovery.

after rooting it you can delete the thethering manager app.apk from the sytem/app so you can use your built in wifi thether for free yo.

I would do it for the ability to fully use titanium backup and to have full access to your phone.
I did it for those reasons alone. Im not a rom jumper and I stick to stock and unless a rom way different than stock comes, I'll stick to stock.

Of all the T-Mobile phones I've used this seems to have the most bloatware....rooting definitely helps getting rid of all of it. Dev support also seems to be growing. I have the latest EaglesBlood Rom and could not be happier. now getting better battery life and overall greater speed and smoothness.

I have a Tmobile Samsung Galaxy S2 and a mac so as of now I can't really root the phone because its windows only for the root. I'm waiting for a mac abled one click root.
Other then that, this is my first Android (came from the iPhone 4) and wanted to know how do you guys decide which rom to use? Also, how hard is it to flash to different roms? I can do it after I root correct and if I do change rom's I would not have to reroot would I?
Thanks
