hey,
well title says it all, i got directed to come to xda for help. ive had smartphones but never have done or seen a phone rooted. i just picked up the gs2 coming from sensation and my hotspot is now locked down to having to pay 15 a month. was told by rooting you pickup free hotspot and sometimes paid apps. can someone provide me with download links and instructions step by step so i dont mess up my phone. thanks in advance.
ps its the t989 gs2
also i wwant to delete all these garbage bloatware apps always running to
Check the stickies in the general section. i think there's a thread in the development section too.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Just a heads up. Its against the forum rules to ask for paid apps for free. Not trying to be a jerk or anything.
I found that the method mentioned in the stickies in the Dev section pretty clear and straightforward, its noob friendly unlike the MTG4G which are a great mess. Once rooted, install titanium backup and freeze/delete the tethering manager app and you should be able to tether for free. You can get free apps while being on stock........
The link for free apps is in there somewhere, find it
I thought he meant he can now use paid apps that require root... Ahem right?

I'm not asking for free paid apps..was just mentioning the perks some one told me about rooting...I basically want the hot spot

there's several apps I've tried using but require root, I want to be able use those
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
ok so i figured out the root...just used the volume key long press and installed supreruser and odin 1.85 and titanium pro. now that i,m here how do i installl roms? this being my first time at this was wrecking my brain getting to this point any tips an advice on which roms would be appreciated. ty
Go to the dev section. Download a rom. Flash it in recovery.

Here it is
To flash the kernel:
-Boot into recovery
-Wipe Cache
-Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache
-Install zip from SD Card
-Reboot and let it sit for a few minutes for the OS to load up completely (about 5 minutes should suffice)
-Reboot once more and install SetCPU which can be found in the Market for $1.99 or free here
Once installed open it up and AutoDetect Speeds and then select form the drop down menu SmartassV2 and you should be set
Did you find the ICS theme?
im sorry im new to this... did first root and flash yesterday...i did odiin then flashed the file on juggernaut in dev section.... to i need to do this kernel to? or is it just like a add on to go with it? also whats a good overclock setting?
A kernel is pretty much the main computing core of an operating system. If you're using the one that came with Jug's rom, you will experience some lag and random reboots. Eugenes kernel gives you better performance and battery life (if you wanna think about it that way). Just flash it, you wont regret it.
It's not hard at all either, pretty much the same process as flashing a ROM but instead you flash another zip file.
do i only need to wipe those cache? and not a full wipe as when i flashed the rom?

Correct. Wipe cache and dalvik cache, reboot then wait like 5-10 mins then reboot again
If the only thing you wabt to do is tether, then (only if u jave a 5gig or more plan) you can call tmo and they have a promotion going on right now that will give u tethering for free. Just give them a call, in the auto system say plans, then hit 0 and tell the rep about the promotion.

[Script][MOD][U9RC6][ICS]I SCream! -=V6 SUPERCHARGER=- The ONLY RAM Fixer + KAK & 3G!
This is an awesome memory script by zeppelinrox.
I have used it on a few of my phones in the past and it does exactly what he describes it as!
This is the original thread with links to the scripts.
Recommended is setting 9, with the 1000HP. HP has to do with total memory I believe.
Editing this for some more clarity:
The most recent updates (betas/tests) are located here.
Software needed before installation:
1)Script Manager (found in the Market)
2)Busybox Installer (found in the Market) Make sure you install Busybox 1.182 or lower!
3)Your phone MUST be rooted!
To install:
1)Make sure you have the above software installed.
2)Download whatever version of V6 Supercharger/3G Turbo that you want to install. I usually install the most recent beta releases. You can find the stable release from here Betas/tests are here.
3)Open Script Manager
4)Navigate to where you downloaded the script and select it
5)Check Run as Root
6)Touch Run
7)Follow the instructions as the script runs!
Highly recommended for everyone's phone!! It really turns your phone into something brand new!
Good find I'll have to give this a go.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I read the thread and it sounds like a great idea and i'd like to give it a go, but i dont really understand how to install it or how to use it once its installed... can someone help me out here?
I been using it for a few days. You place the script on the root of the sd card. Use scrpit manager to run the script

You better check to see what version of busybox you are using or you are asking for a world of errors. I believe we are on version 1.19 and you need to be on 1.18.2 or lower. And you have to remember that a universal tweak or mod doesnt always work with our phones because samsung did something way different this time. So im just saying be careful!!!!!!

You can use busybox installer to downgrade to 1.18. I did and my cf-bench scores went up quite a bit. (With this and the Universal Adrenaline Shot.)
Phone seems more responsive and faster to switch apps now.

what does it do when you want to shut it down ?
you can try to take the shut down and the rotation files from xboaders source.....
great job! so glad to see ppl releasing their roms after such a short amount of time. you must have been working on it nonstop- and thank you!
i see that the ZIP size is 350Mb. If im not mistaken this is huge, correct? other ICS roms i have played with (on Xoom, and Galaxy Nexus) are usually right around the 100Mb area. Are these roms going to reach 100Mb once the great devs start figuring out the bugs? What is it that is making it be triple what other ICS roms are in size?
(dont mean this in any hateful way at all, this is to be expected as this came out....yesterday. im just wondering)

ah yes that does make sense. thanks . i realized some of the roms i speak of are CM9, the other one im mentioning is Codename Android , both are greeeatttt. i thought cm9 was my **** tho, till i tried Codename Android. On the xoom it is much better than the KANG CM9 (at the moment).
does anyone even want touchwiz with ICS for their GS2? i havent heard anyone say anything good about it. any chance youd strip this one down, remove twiz and bloat? i guess that will probably come later once the issues are worked out

I downloaded it, but there was a problem with the file. a lot of files I get from the goo.im servers seem to have the same problem. they appear corrupted and won't flash. on another thread someone mentioned that that server adds a .html extension to the file and that removing that so that it ends in .zip should fix it, but all the files i have already end in .zip and before anybody suggests otherwise, yes I've adjusted the settings on my windows computer to not hide file extensions.
Downloaded it, but couldn't get it to install. I haven't had issues with any other roms. Tried wiping the device, and the cache. Put the zip initially on the internal memory then the external sd, but just get an invalid zip error from recovery, with the image of the android on his back with a door to his stomach open and red ball figure above it. A little traumatizing really, but when I get a little more time I will flash a different recovery. Heard in the past that has cured some flashing issues. That is unless someone else has some other suggestions.
This rom doesnt flash either

I would say Titanium Backup, Wifi tether for root users, and Rom toolbox are must have apps.
The toolbox and TB are both really awesome and packed to bursting with features
Oh and +1 to the guy above me on the ad blocker app, it really helps.
Oh and some sort of file browser, root browser has a nice GUI but tends to crash a lot, Root explorer is a little more reliable
Thanks for the replies guys! So glad I decided to root my device and hope to really get into all the ins and outs of rooting!

What i got on board my s3
What I am running is Frankenstein kill joy7 2.1 with the standard AGAT kernel .3.2 which comes with the ROM. It launches on APEX which for me is no big deal. Also Frankenstein also comes with almost no bloat ware.I have been through a few roms and found this one really nice. I have used CM10 and it was ok for me but liked the single core when the screen was off. Titanium is always excellent and even Pimp my ROM or ROM Customizer app. and Goo manager if you are ever plan on switching your ROM. If you are new at swapping ROMs biggest advice anyone could have told me is to do ALOT ALOT ALOT of research prior to switching to a new ROM nothing is more frustrating the a boot loop, soft brick or worse a BRICK. hope it helps and welcome to the custom ROM it gets better from here on out
Oh yes yes, usually some sort of build rpop editor andthe following recovery and managing apps (either one)
ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM) + Rom Manager
TWRP and Goo manager
I would also HIGHLY recommend doing a lot of research (like the guy above me said) and you seem inclined so it shouldnt be a problem, a good start would be going to xda-university.com and reading through the entire "Users" section, it very thorough and easy to understand

Im looking to hop into the AOSP world and I think this is the ROM I want to try (the kitkat version doesn't have features/stability from what I've read). However, I have a couple questions.
1) Of course I will nandroid my TW rom. If I decide I want to go back, is it as simple as restoring my backup? Or are there additional steps going from AOSP back to TW nandroid?
2) I see various versions/builds & kernels listed in this thread? Can someone please suggest a reliably stable build/kernel for me to start out with that has everything working?

Hey, I've been running paranoid 3.99 for a while and it has great battery life, even on stock rom, you can use plasma kernel with it or Devil kernel, your choice, flash the latest stable and you should be fine, also look for the SD card restore zip if you ever go back to TW you are going to need it, its buried in to the cm 10 thread just look for it, also make sure you get stweaks from play store and if you have issues send me a pm and I will be glad to help you, good luck!

Thanks for the response!
Do I NEED an external sd for AOSP? And if I use a nandroid to restore, would I still need the SD card restore zip?

Also - I found the link on page 7 of the CM10.1 thread, but the dropbox file is no longer available. Do I need to dig further?

Let me know what file you need and I'll upload it to my dropbox, you don't need a SD card, just get the room zip in the root of your internal SD, wipe or do a factory reset in twrp/cwm flash the zip and gapps... Reboot... Do the initial setup and restore your apps or start from scratch if you prefer... Good luck!

I would need whatever zips are needed to go from AOSP to TW. And also a quick step by step on what order to flash to go back. I appreciate your help!

1. Make a backup of your current setup in twrp
2. WIPE data, system, cache and dalvik (factory reset)
3. Flash aosp rom and gapps package
4. SET IT UP...
TO RESTORE:
1. Backup your aosp setup...
2. Do the recommended wipes
3. restore your nandroid TW backup...
4. Flash this zip: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9ee1s03ev246rpx/restore-sdcard-after-downgrade.zip
5. FIX PERMISSIONS
6. Reboot and enjoy...
To restore back to aosp do the recommended wipes and fix permissions once the restore is done... Good luck!

Finally took the plunge. Loving PA4.3.
Only question I have so far - is there a way to get the Sprint VVM for this?

You should be able to find the apk, I don't use it personally, I prefer the Google Voice integration, just for voicemail...
Edit: try this version

I've been messing around with GV. Is there a way to disable the email & text notifications?
3 notifications is a bit much for my taste lol
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
You can disable it in the website...
Thanks. I'll have to check that out in the morning

Another issue that I've run into that could be a deal breaker. I use Good For Enterprise for my work email. It seems to have installed fine. But I'm not receiving any of my notifications for that. Do you know of any similar issues?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
Disregard. Appears to be working now.
Also disabled the extra gv notifications too.
2 more questions though -
1 -when opening a window through notifications, is there a quick way to switch to full screen?
Can the pie menu be edited? I used it on two as a quick launch for frequent apps.
Thanks for your help
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
Figured out the pie thing (or at least a suitable workaround).
Still trying to figure out an easy way to go from Floating Window to Full easily.
