GB27 on the way

I just flashed GB27 today. I finally got around to doing it lol. I noticed there is a lot of new internal changes from GB08 and prior. All these Samsung apps listed in Titanium Backup like "Samsung push service" and "Samsung cloud data relay" to name a couple. Those are new, and weren't on the previous ones.
 
Ive only tried out the modem for it. I just got my rom the way I like it. Ill change when se have stable recovery kernel.

Yea I've notice that too. And I don't see it as an app...maybe because I didn't set up Samsung account?
 
Yeah and a Virgin Mobile one too. You tend to see more development on the Sprint side. Not to mention I really don't like the Boost bloat.
 
There's the Kies app, but it's probably best to have a PC handy, just in case anything goes wrong.

I've got the update downloading in Kies right now. Once it's downloaded and the phone's updated, I'll root the sucker again. ;)
 
You do it via PC, Now I don't know if the Boost one is released yet, and if you are on a Boost Stock ROM and that one hasn't been released yet then you won't be able to get it. However it is the same as the leaked one we already have out, so you could just do a One click install of it.
 
You can update Boost stock to GC01 (4.1.2) in Kies.

I noticed GC01 didn't like to be rooted - it'd never load up after flashing recovery + superuser. Oh well. :P
 
So wait, will framaroot root GC01? I need to root to fix the phantom menu key, otherwise I'll have to check out Button Savior non-root or something.

I tried to update to GC01 over 4G tether but the download failed 3 separate times, at 39%, then started over it failed at 61%, then started it over and it failed at 69%. So Boost texted me saying I exceeded my 2560 MB cap for the month. I guess I'm going to be throttled till the middle of April. My 4G is now running at exactly 1 Mbit, whereas it was averaging around 10 Mbit pulling the update file to the computer. On that note my 3G is now running a quarter-megabit whereas before it was 3 times faster. At least my 4G is still faster than my normal 3G speed, so I guess I'm not too concerned about it.
 
I'm sticking with GB27 rooted. My core must have apps need root to run. I am sure there will be a rooted GC01 soon enough, and we'll have a thread on that one.
