Hi all, I have a Nexus 4 phone and rooted it once last year shortly after it came out. At that time I also put on a custom recovery. All worked pretty well using the Nexus Root Toolkit and there wasn't a whole lot I had to do on my end. The recent Android 4.3 update had some issues, and...

My phone keeps rebooting no matter the ROM / kernel. I'm not sure if I'd root right away, but would love to find a new more modern phone with good root community support. Any ideas? I'm currently with Sprint, but at end of contract, so can technically go with anyone. I use my current phone...

Reason being, I'd like to try a Sense 4 or recent popular AOSP ROM. Any suggestions? I'm not one to screw w/ kernels much. I personally lean toward Sense, but also wouldn't mind trying the latest and greatest AOSP.

Hi all, I've recently tried both MikG (latest 3.11) and The Classic. With MikG, my phone would spontaneously reboot from what I assume was overheating. It would generally reboot when it got hot. I used a custom Anthrax kernel. I'm now using The Classic by tommytomato (no custom kernel or...

Hi, I'm fully rooted on MikG 3.1 and just recently began seeing a voicemail update notification. If I click it, I'm able to either go ahead or cancel. My question is this: should I? Is this the equivalent of a software update pushed from Sprint? I've generally heard not to install the...

I recently flashed MikG 3.11. How important is it that I also seek out a specific kernel like ChopSUEY? I'm trying to decide if also flashing a kernel is really worth it or if what comes with MikG is already ok. There seems to be so much out there that I'm having trouble figuring out if it's...

I plan to move from AOSP Deck to Sense MikG and would like to also clean up my SD Card in the process. What can I all delete? Everything but files in the root folder? Thanks, - Matt

Hi all, I recently installed the GPS fix when rooting my phone for Deck 1.3. However, it doesn't appear to be working, at least not in Google Maps. This is what I used: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=658352&d=1311002339 Any ideas? FYI, I installed the GPS fix...

I've tried the Theme Chooser, but it doesn't seem to have many options. Ideally I'd like to experiment with what other people have put together for the notification bar on top. I already use GO Launcher EX, so am really only interested in the notification bar and maybe when you pull it down to...

Hi all, I did Amon RA, Deck 1.3 ROM, GRapps, some kernel, and GPS Fix last night and all is working well, but it's hard to get over how ugly the Android Market looks now. Is that part of GRapps and just a really old version? If so, how do I update it to the newest Android Market and is there...

I rooted a few months ago and have enjoyed it so far. I'm on an HTC EVO 4G phone. I now feel I'm ready to try a ROM and accomplish the following goals: Get rid of the annoying Sprint OS update messages. Remove bloatware Here are some questions before I begin: What's one of the most...

Hi all, I recently rooted my HTC EVO 4g from Sprint and would like to tether this weekend while out of town. I realize there may be contractual issues. What's the risk involved? Does Sprint really care if used in moderation? I'd imagine they wouldn't want to mess w/ a guy that pays $150...

Hi all, I'm new to this and have been following the "ROOTING For Dummies Guide.....the Gingerbread Edition" sticky. I just got the following error while running the revolutionary exe (copied the files in the zip to their own directory on my computer and then ran as admin in Windows 7)...

Reason being, I'm still a bit freaked out over the possibility of bricking my phone. Is there a way to set up a wireless hotspot without rooting my phone? I'm on the new Android 2.2 release for the EVO. Thanks. - Matt
