    Toggles in stock?

    This may sound dumb to you guys, but what I value most in third party ROMs is toggles. I was curious if there's any way to get toggles on the stock/rooted ROM? BTW, toggles are those things you can click in your status bar to quickly enable or disable a function like GPS/WiFi for those who...

    Get MMS working when you deleted your APN's

    I don't know how I managed to do this, but I deleted my APN's and I hadn't done a recent backup, so I did not feel like redoing my whole ROM just to get my stupid APN settings. I also found that the existing guides only focus on what needs to be changed, which doesn't help when you need ALL of...

    [FAQ] Boost Galaxy S2 FAQ

    Introduction I realize this information exists in other posts already, but I felt it would be very helpful to the newbies among us to create an FAQ. My heart is not to attempt to steal other threads' thunder, or say that this FAQ is in any way superior to what is already out there. Instead...

    mysterious battery drain

    I've had issues with my battery draining since I got this phone. Thus far, I have decided to just live with it but honestly it's becoming unbearable. At first I thought I was just using the phone so much because it was new to me that I couldn't put it down (which was true really) which explained...

    Need help, a few questions... a complete answer is worth $5

    Alright, I'm no newb to rooting and flashing, but I am a scaredy cat who can't afford to buy a new phone if I screw things up. It took me 2 years to save up to get this phone, so forgive me if these questions seem dumb. I will gladly give the person who takes the time to help me $5 via paypal...

    USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, I AM NEWBSAUCE This is designed for CM7 Beta 5. From the way Hroark describes it, it may work for other mods too but I wont guarantee anything. In response to this post >>...

    Root IRC Channel?

    Do we have an active IRC channel for development? The one shabby posted doesn't seem to work anymore and I miss hanging with you guys. Maybe it does work, or there's a new one that I completely missed.

    Root HOWTO: Get your MSL

    Getting your MSL number is super easy if you have a rooted phone. I'm surprised these directions haven't already been explained... I have google to thank for this, and I don't recall exactly where I found it. The directions here are in no way the same as what I found on google though, I have...

    Root Apps2sd vs Link2sd (and internal storage) explained

    Note: If you aren't much of a reader, or already have a working understanding of partitions, symbolic links etc or just don't feel like reading this just go to the "recap" section on the bottom. There has been a good deal of posts regarding this, but few with good details. In this post, it is...

    Root prevail signal issues...

    I've been getting odd signal issues since I first got this phone. Currently running cm7, but changing roms etc has never had any impact on it. Primarily what happens (and is most annoying) is I can not keep a signal during driving. If I want to, for example, listen to streaming music while...

    Root CM7/general issues

    I have had a lot of fun with cm7 and am so grateful for it being ported. I realize it's new, so this isn't a question for the developer, more like I'm somewhat of a newb and think I'm doing something dumb. At any rate, I had stock interface rooted and I installed CWM/CM7. I then installed the...

    Root Infrastructure wireless tethering with encryption :D

    First and foremost, all of this information is taken from other sources, it's just the recipe for putting the pieces together the right way. Hroark, shabbypenguin, necrotoxin and many others are the ones who did all the work. I don't know what steps are necessary and aren't, so I will just...

    Bluetooth Keyboard (HID) on Prevail?

    Anyone able to get a bluetooth keyboard working on the prevail yet? I've tried many methods for getting my HID keyboard working on the prevail and just can't get it to go. It pairs fine, but stays stuck at "paired, not connected". I have tried countless keyboard apps from the market and none...

    Pitching Idea: Enhanced Back Cover for Prevail

    I'm the type person who can pretty much never leave good enough alone. I've noticed with the prevail there are at least 4 major hardware improvements that could all be had with an improved back of the phone. Only one of these I'm uncertain about the feasibility of (number 4 in my list) I'd...
