Hi there, I'm helping a friend root her incredible. I did mine back before the 2.2 OTA, and it seems things have changed a little. I have a mac - downloaded unrevoked3 and ran it - and I keep getting a message at the end "failed to get root. Is your firmware too new?" any idea what might be...

Gods of Root, I'm playing around with a number of non-sense ROMs, and I keep running into the same question: using the stock android camera app, is there a way to know I'm shooting 720p video? I don't see a settings option like with the sense camera app where I can set it. I have a similar...

a question for MIUI users: how do you organize your apps? I'm loving the ROM, but I'm having trouble keeping track of my apps. The ROM lacks an app, tray, correct? when I did a titanium restore, all my apps showed up laid out as icons in random order. How do you get apps to move from one...

Hi team, A question for all the frequent rom-switchers. I've got the premium edition of Titanium, and up 'till now, every time I try out a new ROM, I have to re-load all my apps/data. It's not terribly inconvenient - I just do the batch 'restore apps/data' option - but I still have to...

Hi team, I always have gotten great help here - and for all the talk of wiping dalvik and other caches, I haven't found a straight forward guide for now to prepare my phone for installation of a new kernel. I've been on skyraider awhile, and put King BFS 4 on. I'd like to go to the new BFS 5...

Question! I've been playing with other ROMs lately, and I'm having problems restoring my contacts on non-sense roms. Only a fraction of my contacts are 'google' contacts - a lot are backed up through verizon or are stored on the phone. How can I make all my contacts 'google' contacts, so...

Question! I'm a big fan of the dolphin HD browser, but I can't seem to find a way to turn off 'mobile view.' There are lots of websites I like that won't let me see video if it detects I'm on a mobile device. The stock browser has an option under settings to turn off mobile view, and it usually...

Apologies for the silly question, but y'all have been so helpful, I didn't think you'd mind. Rosie vs. vanilla. What does that mean? Is Rosie another word for sense? For example - I've been using SkyRaider 3...it looks a lot like sense. What would I find if I used a 'vanilla' version? okay...

Hello collective rooting geniuses, Camera defect on my phone means I have to (again) warranty replace. I'm currently S-OFF, running the Virtuous 2.2 build (and love it). I've also been going between cyanogen 6 and skyraider 3. I never downloaded alternative kernels. Needless to say, I'd...

Hopefully someone else has run into this problem, and maybe it'll be helpful all around. I updated to a 2.2 rooted rom a couple days ago and it worked perfectly...wireless tether, etc, was all fine. Today, my camera/video camera (and all the programs that depend on it, like goggles) isn't...

Now that we've got (or are about to get) Flash 10.1 on our phones, does anybody have suggestions for websites that let you stream TV over 3g? I've heard channelsurfing.net can work, but I find it usually crashes the stock browser.

Sorry for the noob-ly question, but looking through the forum, I think a lot of people are in the same boat I am. Basic user, rooted with no custom kernels/roms/radio...and wondering what's best to do with the new update coming out. I'd like to have the official OTA 2.2, be rooted, and not...

I saw some similar threads in other phone forums (eris, EVO) but I'm wondering if anyone has had luck with this on the Dinc. Verizon is shipping me what I assume is a refurbed phone. If I turn it on, root it, and throw in my old SD card, will there be any trouble doing a typical nandroid...

Is anybody familiar with the difference between 'factory data reset' under 'privacy' and 'format phone storage' under 'sd card and phone storage.' i'm getting the 'disc full' alert despite having plenty of space left, and factory data resets don't seem to be 'taking' (when the phone re-starts...

Sorry if this has been asked before - With the ease of the unrevoked root method, I'm thinking about rooting my Incredible. I'm by no means an advanced user (command line what?), but would definitely like to download some of the more popular root-only applications. I have no intentions of...
