Rooting

If you are going to root, do not do like me and just start going on a rom rampage. To extend on that statement, I traded into this device and it was rooted... it was just a few days after the release so obviously no cure or stable rom at that point. Long story short... I have messed up and fixed a lot of things with this device already and it only cost me a few long nights and making my wife hate me. So that is why if you are going to root, make sure its worth it.

I won't flash any ROMs until there is an actual stock ROM available to go back to... One that doesn't borrow anything from the international rom's...
But I gotta ask, what happened during your ROM rampage?

He probably got it mixed up. If you read his other posts he's obviously a newbie at this and probably is talking about all the mistakes he's made while trying to root. OP Be careful what you say around here it's easy to get flamed over not knowing what you're talking about. I hope you take the time to read as much as you can and try not to ruin a perfectly good phone...

don't even need to wait for it to install successfully. Sometimes a "fail" is actually a success, so if you're having problems of it flashing successfully then you should check your app drawer.. its probably in there already.

yep probably my 4th time lol. Since t-mobile had their "sale" and i believe prices are dropping for the gs2 (target/walmart) expect a lot of new users with derp questions.. I do hope it dies down.
I should probably create a template so i can just c/p everything over and over.
OH WAIT that's what stickies are for.

HA! I'm already gonna get crap for this!
Don't try this at home, kids. I just wanted to get this out there, if we could design an app to run out of here....

Every time I flash an aosp ics rom, it basically does the same thing after I sign into Gmail. All the play store apps are installed after 30 min and I just do a multi file copy and paste for all my non officiall apps.

A) How long was my video?
B) Google restore has always been unreliable for me, works sometimes, doesn't others, and I really, reeeeaaaally don't want EVERY APP I ever installed....
C) At this point I see this more as a backup plan. No hassling with titanium making sure no cross-data makes it through, If I ever get bootlooped, I don't have to have to mess with CWM at all.
D) The PreLoader has a separate partition from system, it is also somewhat protected. I don't exactly know how, that's why I insist people not be reckless.

Not exactly sure what you mean, but I don't see a reason (I'm assuming you're implying that you are safe) that this wouldn't work for you. Check PM.

My last post was to kinda point out to Iandv, that his process of reinstalling apps is crap. None of that post was directed at OP at all.
And this has alot of real coo potential. Also as I stated I prefer GB. All the ICS leaks IMO have sukt ass. They all have a way togo.
Thanks OP for the PM. Anything you need hit me up.

The magical search button and your firmware notification

Hey everyone,
I've noticed about 500 new posts a day saying, "I'm rooted and go an update notification. It's probably JB, should I take it?"
I'm here to help you out.
1. It's not JB. When it does come out you'll see people by the names of Freeza, zanderman, MrTimz, TEAMERA, clark44, etc get very excited and post about how awesome it is that JB is out. We'll be more than happy to at that time. Googling tech blogs and such will also help you stay on top of developing news of this nature.
2. If you have a custom recovery go ahead and accept. The installation will fail and everything will be fine upon reboot. If you have a stock recovery you can update but will probably lose root. Root again using normal methods.
3. The only JB out is leaked build that you would have to install normally.
4. Feel free to flash these builds to try them out and stop asking if you should. It's safe but ultimately your decision, not ours.
5. Stop posting in the dev section. Those of you who can't yet, it's for good reason, not to be mean. The only things you should post in the dev section are Roms, kernels and modifications to Android that you created.
6. If you aren't sure of something and don't want to sound silly, PM an experienced member. I've never had a question posed to me on here that I wasn't happy to help answer within my abilities.
7. Enjoy the place but please stop cluttering it up with the same question over and over. The search button will reveal that you probably weren't the first to ask your question. If you are, then kudos, feel free to post it in the Q & A section to be handled.
Thanks! Love ya guys!

You sir are why devs quit sharing their work with us. You know, the work they do in their spare time after working, spending time with wife/husband/kids etc. Seriously, if you aren't happy with a rom you can fix it yourself, wait for it to be fixed or use another rom. There is no excuse to come here and act like some self-entitled jackwagon.
P.S. Jackwagon was the nicest word I could think of.

No one said "flash my rom or I kill your dog". If you don't like to be a part of a big experiment, go follow a cooking forum.
But to help you understand why a developed rom sometimes has errors:
Developers may get a leaked source and they tinker with it to get it out to us ahead of the official release. Other times they get a rom from a similar device and port it over to our phone, and it takes trial and errors to make the port work.

Check out the guy in the (ROM) Sky Note Air - 4.3 I317UCUBMK6-MJ4 Hybrid 12-25-13 thread, that told Seanz "no rush" when he was told an update was coming.
Dude was up until midnight last time busting it out and went at it again today.
Seanz missed a few things in the first release, but thank the lord, the guy is not in a hurry to get the fixes.
Helluva human being there.
And I was being a **** for pointing out he did not reading ONE fricking page back to see that Seanz was working on a fix.

He just flashed the update and killed his keyboard. Doh !

Forgive my negative opinions/views.
Very bad day at work. On top of the bad day my phone borked itself first thing after I got to work after a restart. Everything started falling apart and I knew I wouldnt be able to fix it all till I got home which was barely 30 minutes ago.
As always my gratitude is extended to all the devs of this community! Ive been a happy member since 2009. And XDA has provided me with plenty of ups and downs.

Hey bro, you asked for forgiveness but you should first apologize; no excuses please. It's the right thing to do.

Shutting this thread for a variety of reasons...the first being XDA is not a support site...if you do not like the work, then move on. No one really will miss those who are ungrateful or self-righteous.
