Root {GUIDE x2} Update to ZVD/Root ZVD

Cool, I can live with that, better to have something than never, how can I get a copy btw?

Hey if ya'll do this was curious to know if when flashing someone else's backup..does all the data then appear on the phone..gmail and such
 
I can confirm that GSE2 is MUCH faster than LD-ICK on ZVD.

I had lD-ICK first. Did a benchmark and was topping out at around 3200 oc'd to 2.1 or whatever. Tried freezing apps, airplane mode, everything. Couldn't get it higher. That's no good for me, being that I came from ZVB with GSE and benchmark at 4759.

Well I installed GSE2 earlier today and have since get it settled down and to my liking. Ran benchmark WITHOUT freezing apps or anything oc'd to 2.1 and got it back up to 4630. That's more like it :D

Just thought I would share for those that are curious. #'s don't lie :D

Tat's interesting. I would like to know as well. Cause hell I've got backups of my backups for days and they could really help someone out, IF all my info isn't bulged up within it. :P

Wow man that is good...I swear these phones are all so different based on manufacture(batch run) date. I could never get over 4300 on rooted B..3219 on stock unrooted D.

Here yall are gonna laugh but get this...myself and mrpnut since updating can not get our phones to root(needless to say guess what I will be working on right now) driving me nuts! Metro push something to our phones(joking) to block:mad:
I soo hope I dont have to do another factory reset as I just put all my apps back on...but we will see:eek:

Really? I couldn't for the life of me get anything near that. I turned off EVERYTHING. But I switch to GSE2 and leave everything ON and bust it out like it used to be. Crazy. I still like GSE2 regardless of benchmark scores.
 
Plague's 2.0 kernel also works on ZVD, running it right now. seems to drain less battery than the 2.2, even though i had both oc'd at 1.4ghz. maybe its just me

The lockscreen on GSE2 is a little off. The time is crooked. O.o

Other than that, so far it works great.

Wonder if there is a way to fix the lockscreen???
 
Thanks guys updated mine and the wifes last night. Seems more responsive. Testing the battery today. I think I'm going to wait for official rooms and kernels for zvd, it's just running too smooth right now. Made a backup and getting ready to remove bloat.
