That depends on your service provider.

Wait, you're saying it lets you flash this non Motorola signed update.zip from stock recovery in the Chinese ROM?
If that's the case... Couldn't you just prepare an update.zip that adds root privileges, and flash it the same way?

I was just thinking the exact same thing!
All you chinese XDA'ers now have a new mission: Track down the source of that update.zip!

It's probably come from Motorola.

Yep... probably. But why would they first send out a stripped/de-googled (read: crippled) firmware, and then post the update.zip?

Can anyone try and create another update.zip that will flash successfully on this ROM? If so then it opens up mega possibilities.
If this is truly signed by Motorola, maybe it's because Google isn't on good terms with the Chinese government, so Motorola created a backdoor way to get Google Apps on the phone.

just one problem.
the google map is 4.7
why use 5.0?

but with android robot. I didn't try this yet because I don't know if its normal.
It's ok? I will have the recovery in this rom?
Edit: The lower right corner... I read it today, and is one of the oldest defy thread...

this doesn't work for the rooted version of the 2.2 Chinese rom

Will this update work on device sold in China,PRC?
I got it directly from retailer with an official 2.2 rom inside.Enough tolerance to Moto adware.Want to blow them away and install a fully functional google app setting.
P.S:
1.What does the 2.51 or so for the roms mean?Don't think that's calling the rom,since 2.3 hasn't arrived yet.Affraid of bricking my device,I didn't attempt flashing blindly.
2.Anyone seeks luck with CM mod for Defy?Raised as a CM fan.

Would this rom be more suited for people in America as it is for G2?

-deleted..

its the stock G2 rom with the new update that T-Mobile released few days ago, the update is supposed to have battery life improvements and a few other things. check the link. http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1809

So is this effectively asop? or just stock android?

Thank you rr5678. I just update both rom and radio.
No problem found yet, and g2 running very good. hahaha

Its better to leave like that because stock roms with custom kernel are laggy and stuff
Stewie just said that!

If I'm currently running the 2.16.531.3 (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1211143) do I need to wipe data?

Happy to see a stock ROM again. Hoping this can give me the battery life that it should have.
Two issues: I keep getting android.process.media crashing - appears to stop when I receive a notification. Or go to change notification sounds / change volume from the Settings menu.
And two: I have a voicemail sitting there that doesn't exist. The icon won't go away either.

you can try to flash this over the 2.16.531.3 ROM, BUT make sure you nandroid backup, just in case something goes wrong

Warning!
This stock rom is NOT compatible with Ext 4 file system.
DO NOT use 4EXT Recovery to convert the files system from EXT 3 to EXT 4.
You won't pass the splash screen.

Could you guys, who have flashed this, post these three files:
libhtc_ril.so
libreference-ril.so
libril.so
from the /system/lib-folder?
I'll update the ril_automatcher for the latest radio.

No overclocking with this stock ROM. If you want OC, check out Virtuous G-Lite. That's stock with OC capabilities. This is vanilla Gingerbread. And trackpad wake is not an option. At least not yet.

[Q] Which ROM/Kernel should I install for Galaxy Nexus

Hi Guys,
Just a few questions..
1. What ROM can you recommend to install? Currently on Galaxy Nexus GSM 4.0.2
ICL53F.I9250XWLK2
2. Same thing as ROM..
3. What are the other things that I need to customize my Nexus?
TIA

I use 4.0.4 stock rom with popcorn kernel, here are my benchmark with this combination

i highly recommend using AOKP... it comes with Faux kernel baked in.. great combination... amazing devs and support... here is the link...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402341

hi guys, thanks for your suggestions.. Now, I just successfully installed AOKP. However, my big problem is that my camera didn't save images/videos.. I am now on the panic mode.

3.0.8-gaaa2611. that's my kernel version. I haven't install Kernel updates here. What do you mean by stock camera? <pardon for the noob question> My phone is already rooted/unlocked.

What were your instructions for rooting? (Assuming you weren't rooted before you posted this)
Your root method may have wiped everything

No, i'm using gallimaufry. I'm surprised too, I didn't expect such a high score

Check my sig to make sure you're installing the roms correctly.
Post two will detail it.
A "stock" camera is the camera that comes pre-installed. Not one from the play store.
I'm on AOKP, and can confirm no such issue.

I think my camera started malfunctioning <didn't save images/videos> when I wipe data due to I forgot my screen lock pattern <yes, I forgot! WTH>. Then, I flash AOKP b29 to see if it will solved my dilemma but it didn't. Last resort was, flash original stock ROM from Google website. Now, I am back to stock ROM.
@Jubakuba: I follow your procedure before, but when I tried to re-install Titanium Backup <free> to restore apps, it didn't succeed and prompts error which is something like code:32.

You need a custom kernal like Franco's to be able to overclock.

You won't get updates from google if you are running anything that isn't stock (custom rom, kernal, anything that requires root).

and your phone wont get updated... why? difference is that youll either be waiting for an ota update whenever it might come, or you can update it yourself whenever its available. i dont see whats bad about that.

just flash the kernels through your custom recovery, and your updated roms too. you dont have to fastboot them, unless you really want to. and with that custom recovery, you can make nandroid backups, backups of the whole system with all your data, just in case you mess something up.

[Q] Wifi Tether App for Rooted Sprint GS3 JB

Does anyone know of a wifi tether app that works with a rooted Sprint GS3 with Jellybean? Wifi Tether isn't working, even though it appears to. Tried every possible setting in the app.
Am I missing something?

OK...Thanks! Next question - Since this is for my wife and she REALLY loves ICS and JB, what custom ROM can I flash into her GS3 that will offer the same basic "usability", looks and feel as a stock phone, but also offer wifi tether? I heard that CM10 offers wifi tether built in, but looks a lot different.
Also, I've been looking for a link to revert her back to ICS from JB, but find too many messages about it in the forums... Any suggestions on a link that will give me this the quickest and easiest?
THANKS!

This apk got my S3 stuck on the Samsung logo. I installed it and it wasnt working so I turned off my phone and when i turned it back it wont boot now.
Any way to recover without wiping everything?
I can get into download and recovery mode

Works!
Worked like a charm for me on a rooted stock S3. I used the links available at qbking77's page: Free Wifi Tether/Hotspot for the Samsung Galaxy S III on Jelly Bean.

Did you make a Nandroid Backup before Flashing ? That Mod is if you are running 4.1.1 . Are you running 4.1.1 , or 4.1.2 ? Did you try Fixing Permissions ?
