Posted this in all things root because I'm running unofficial cm11 (latest, 4.4.4 kk) by seraph08 (hope i spelled that right) but it seems like an Android issue in general from googling.. Anyways, issue is that it does not push notifications when I get a new message. I have it set to always...

tried in win and linux.. fastboot doesnt see it.. or adb.. where am i goin wrong?

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but haven't seen it. I am thinking of buying the Moto G for Boost Mobile, but want to know if new models can still be bootloader unlocked, ultimately rooted and running CM11. Reason I ask is I got burnt with the LG L9 (the new models had an encrypted...

So I've tried about everything imaginable to unlock the bootloader on this thing.. Has anyone been successful on unlocking a metropcs version with 11/2013 build (its under the battery)? before I make a list of things that DON'T work, I'll ask this first.. In the week and a half that I've had...

Well guys, it's been real. Finally throwin in the towel with the Esteem. Had a nice run but decided to jump on the L9.. Its pretty nice step up from the Esteem and has a pretty much functional CM11 on it (although I've yet to install it on account of the locked boot loader)..

Let me tell you this was an adventure. Hopefully it saves someone a day of there life if ever in the same predicament. Found this out over on XDA (forget the exact post) In my case, I flashed CWM without first unlocking the bootloader, only to come to the Security Error screen on reboot...

Ok, I had a dumb ass attack.. Rooted with Impactor, then installed cwm without unlocking the bootloader first.. Now I just get the Security Error.. The offline flash crashes in lg update tool.. Have tried everything I could find around xda to no luck.. anyone know of a fix? Fixed it...

FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK Thanks go out to LDrifta and PlayfulGod.. Basically this is LDrifta's Speed Unleashed kernel without the minfree tweaks ported to ZVE.. Thanks to fullbloodedmut for guinea pig'n it for me ;) At the moment this is just a work in progress (should be completed soon)...

As fullbloodedmutt posted earlier, ZVE AND ZVG source has been released.. Found here.. https://www.lg.com/global/support/opensource/opensourceList?types=ALL&search=ms910 Raises a few questions on ZVG.. I'm assuming it would need a new baseband before flashing a compiled version over...

Know this is off topic, but this its the Esteem community this is addressed to. This isn't another i'm ditchin the esteem for an SG3 thread lol.. Have to go serve some time in a couple days (in one of Florida's crappiest jails.. no prison lol) .. 60 days to a year, not sure.. Just wanted...

Ok, I know this may not be the best section for this but I trust my fellow Esteemers.. I have an extra phone (Android 2.3) and I want to set it up as a WiFi phone.. I've googled around and trolled the forums, but still not sure what the best bet is.. I'm leaning towards GrooveIP/Google...

Not sure if this is old news or not, but just received an email from swiftkey about swiftkey flow beta being released.. For those that don't know its along the lines of swype.. Actually becoming quite fond of it besides it being a bit of a resource hog (more then swype even) Figured I'd share...

Short version of what I'm trying to do is get a copy of the entire system, install an app, then copy the system again so I can compare what has been changed.. Don't need a complete how to on it.. just pointed in the right direction..

Came across this the other day and thought some of you may be able to find it of use. It lets you control your phone via keyboard/mouse through USB connection. Came in handy for me because my digitizer has dead spots on my test phone and couldnt tap where i needed to tap :) it only renders on...
