    Root [Rom] BACKfire Alpha 0.2

    Bummed out by the lack of development for the CDMA Wildfire S, I took matters into my own hands. I decided to port Jerryscript's incredible Optimus V rom, BACKside, to the Wildfire S. I used Simonsimon34's SStock for the base. The result is BACKfire. This is very much an alpha build, it has...

    Root Looking for CM7 for a510c

    So I've noticed the a510c (Virgin Mobile variant of the Wildfire S) seems to be getting the short end of the stick. The only roms for it are based on Sense, which I don't much care for. There are CM7 builds for the a510e (GSM variant) but nothing for the c. I've tried using one of the GSM builds...

    Root [Theme] Peanut's Lion

    Most of the regulars here know Peanut. That's him in my lap. Meet Peanut's best friend, Lion. I've been inspired by my son, his love for a stuffy, and the votes for a pastel theme to create Peanut's Lion, a BACKside theme built against 0409. I have no idea if the inspiration of this theme...

This guide has been written by request, and my goal here is to help you get the most out of one of my most indispensable apps. It's list of features is far...

    Root [Guide] How to flash the ZV9 update, for the technically challenged

    This thread is now deprecated. An updated guide with more current information can be found here. Edit! This update has caused as many issues as it fixed. Be aware, you will need a kernel compiled for ZV9 (check with your dev.) I recommend Bobzhome, tvall's, or mgr666's kernels. I have tested...

    SMS outage in Michigan

    Has anyone else in Michigan been able to text today? I have three phones and can't text anything. My OV, my wife's Wildlife S, and a simple Tracfone. Seems to me that because it's different carriers that it might be a widespread problem.

    Root QuattriSilver - Quattrimus port of Quicksilver

    This is mostly a proof of concept, wanted to see how UoT handles ICS roms. I tested it by cooking Quicksilver for Quattrimus Alpha 5, and I'm rather pleased with the results. Some of the mods don't work, but some do. This is not optimized, I may be able to cut it down a few more megs. I'm...

    Help Can I upload to mediafire from my phone?

    On the pc you can just drag and drop your files onto your mediafire page, but how would you do that on an OV? Is there an app for that? Just haven't been able to figure it out, myself. :o

    Root Mini Bluetooth Keyboards - How to get one to work

    There are many Mini Bluetooth Keyboards for sale from eBay, Amazon, and others. Typically priced between $10 and $20, they have a spotty reputation at best. Most of the negative things said about these keyboard is that they don't work very well with Android. There are limitations in Android's...

    Root And one for JerryScript!

    All hero's need theme music. Here is a little something that I thought appropriate for JerryScript. It's the 1972 jazz rendition of Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathustra recorded by Brazilian musician Eumir Deodato. Like the one I did up for Andy, this is ready for use as a ringtone or notification...

    Root AndyOpie150's Theme!

    No, not a visual theme, MUSIC! I had been joking with Andy about how he swoops in like some kind of super hero, all he was lacking was the theme music. Originally I was going to write something, record it and upload. Then my son was born and cured my insomnia.:o So...I figured some Mendelssohn...

    Root Market goofiness

    So the market has been goofy for months now, I've tried reflashing, flashing as a fresh install, flashing as an update. The problem is many of my installed apps don't show as installed in the market. The only reason I care is updates don't show, I have to manually go through about twenty or so...

    Root Why all processors are not the same....

    A chip is a chip, right? Not by a long shot. There is a huge difference between one processor and the next. Anyone with experience in IT knows that, even some newbies know that. But the question is...why? Most people don't realize microchip manufacturers don't set out to create chips that run...

    No FM radio?

    Just got my wife a Wildfire S to replace an Intercept. Good choice, I know. I'm curious, the specs I looked up online before we got her phone this morning said it had an FM radio in it, but I can't seem to find it. Was this info not correct? It's hardly a deal breaker, as the radio would have...

    Root Radio Shack is clown shoes!

    This post will be more about Radio Shack than the Optimus V, so I apologize in advance. <rant>My little adventure began last February, when I bought my OV, and a Rumor Touch for my wife. Everyone who've read my posts knows, I love my OV, it's easily the best phone I've ever had. The wife's...
