1. Yes once you unlock your bootloader.
2. No psp games don't work on any smart phone currently. But you can emulate anything n64/ps1 and lower.
3.If you make your own theme you can do anything you want. If you want to know what's currently available go look in the sub forum.

I thought I couldn't unlock my bootloader because I have a MEID on my phone not a IMEI.

Oh I didn't know you were on a 800x my bad. You can still unlock the bootloader to access Fastboot but obviously it's locked to VZ. As far as ROM/themes there are a few to choose from after you unlock the bootloader. I think v3 of dooms kernel may work for you but you'll need to wait for a more educated 800x person to answer or just read in the dev section for yourself it's all over. Good luck

you can unlock the bootloader for the r800x.... but you have to have someone with the right hardware help you... and it costs money.
if you're up for it i would recommend Alejandrissimo. he did it for me last night... it was 24 dollars but it works like a dream. i flashed doom kernel v3 and i'm using stock 2.3.3 and it's running wonderfully. overclocked to 1.6 ghz with no problems whatsoever.
24 seems a little steep, I mean I can understand paying them, but idk how to price something that involves connecting your pc to a stranger.
Connect a virtual machine if you want. It works too ^^
Yea but I feel like yhats more work.
Ill probably ask someone on here.

He doesn't actually make money doing it. The $24 goes to buy "tokens" on a 3rd party website that gives the unlock code to him, then he remotely accesses your phone/computer and does it all for you. He also uses a special cable remotly to unlock your bootloader. But yea basically he donates his time to help people do it and only charges the $24 to cover his cost to get the code. It's really easy and he's cool as hell I really recommend it.
yeah i am going to do this once i can afford to pay the guy to unlock for me.. it should be worth it..
Ah. Didn't know there eas a 3rd party website. Thx for the info everybody I gona go make a paypal

I am thinking of getting an Xperia Play 4G off Craigslist for ~$100 to use as a gaming device. Do you think this is worth it? Or should I just stick with my DS?
Also, what are the steps for installing a custom rom on the AT&T model? Is there a bootloader to unlock? Would I have to flash special stuff (lol)? I know how to flash everything and all this, just don't really have the time to search the whole forum and pick out the details and instructions and stuff.
THANKS
Respond, guys!!!!!!

You would have to pay to unlock the bootloader. The cost is $24- $26 can't really remember. That's the only thing about the at&t model. I think it is very worth it at $100, especially when comparing to a DS lol. No offense. You might still play your ds though as there isn't any ds emulator out. So yea, I think it worth it for gaming becuase no other phone has a gamepad lol. Goodluck man
Thanks man!

Hey there.
Planning to buy a new phone in April or May, and have narrowed it down to XS and S3 Mini.
Now, I love the XS design, camera and all other features. All in all, its quite an awesome phone. Just a few questions to be asked:
1. Are the capacitive buttons alright? I'm buying the phone online, so no chance to use. I've seen many people on video reviews saying they're hard to touch. Is it really that difficult?
2. Is the back cover a bit flimsy? I've seen in a couple video reviews them mentioning it easily comes off. Is this a big issue? Because I don't think I hold the phone so tightly for it to come off.
3. Is it still worth buying? Do note that I am going to use Stock for a month before switching to FXP CM10. And its a 2012 June phone, so yeah.
4. How do I go about saving all my SD card stuff on this? If I flash CM10, how do I retain the SD card stuff, which I would have transferred? I don't quite understand. And how will I go about with the mass storage? How does it work?
Thanks a bunch in advance. All replies, including useless, troll ones will be thanked with the button.

Thanks so much for the reply. For the last question,
If I have songs and stuff on my ad card. I transfer them to the phone. I flash cm10, so do tyr transferred files remain like an SD card? Because I don't understand how this works.

Nothing would be formatted on the sd card, you would lose nothing when flashing roms.

I would like to, but its going to be very expensive. I'm getting XS for 20k INR (~$360-365) online. That would be for like 30K. My budget ends on 21K tops.
Edit: Since I'm buying it online at eBay India, how do I avoid the yellow tint issue? What do I ask the seller?

i pay 120€ for my, 1,5 year warranty, complete with no damage
I'm going to sell my S3 for $300, it's completely new, been in a case from the moment its been bought. So i want to sell it as if I just bough it from AT&T. I'm running CyanogenMod 10 and have CWM as a root. I'm not sure whether or not it's been rooted would mind if it was rooted or not, so should I unroot it? And apparently everyone wants their phone unlocked, so should i do that too? And lastly, i tried to make a recovery before, idk if i did, but i want all the memory wiped..as if brand new.

Hey all,
I'm new to the Zenfone 2, coming from the Huawei Ascend Mate 2 and the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus so I'm wondering if you can give me your best recommendations as far as rooting and Zen based ROMS. I have the ZenFone 2 Deluxe Special Edition being delivered today. I don't want to mess with anything CM related at the moment until I have had a chance to play with it and until it's bug free, 100%. Thoughts & suggestions???

Welcome to Zen Family!
Root : http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/asus-zenfone-2-flashing-recovery-mode-t3096596

Cool thanks for the info! I'm looking forward to this device. Bought my gf the 64gb version a couple of months ago and she loves it

If you decide to unlock bootloader, use the unofficial unlocker as it doesn't give ASUS your IMEI and stop OTA's being pushed to you if you decide to stick with stock rom for a while...
Thought I'd mention, once bootloader is unlocked you can't re-lock it...

Thanks! I'll definitely look that up and go through the process
My advice is if you don't want anything so special then don't root it, you can now uninstall almost every of the bloatware without rooting. And the stock rom is good enough I have no complaints, knowing that I was a root addict with my last phone. There only thing that I think makes rooting worthy is the adblock. You can't find any decent non-root adblock.

Well, you can uninstall the 3rd party bloat. You can't uninstall the Asus/Google stuff, but can now disable most of it, which is good enough.
@MikeyLee I thought your name looked familiar! I came from the Mate 2, too. The stock rom has gotten much better over time. Prism Barebones is great, especially if you want a clean slate without going to CM. Also like @ultramag69 said, use the unofficial bootloader unlock method.
For the moment I have 2 months with this cellphone, the 4gb is excellent but the battery is terrible I wait it will solved with android 6.0

Exactly my sentiments regarding rooting. I've had the phone for 9 months and have no reason to root. I use Adguard and it's a very effective no-root adblocker.
My only recommendation echoe rom go check it out i b his forum at echoerom.com
It is stock based but will give you an awesome experience with amazing speed and decent battery life

It did not come with a card but I did already have one. It's the 128GB internal storage, 4GB RAM 2.3mhz Intel Atom
Z3580 processor. There were actually things missing from it but it's brand new and was factory sealed. It was missing the second battery cover and the headset that was supposed to come with it. Kinda pissed about that.

I don't want to return the entire thing and be without it for that long. Just want them to send me the items that were supposed to be included. At this point I think I will contact ASUS. I should have bought it direct from them
