How do you install a rom without root? :confused:

Well for one thing most phone's don't have to be rooted to install a custom recovery (most just need an unlocked bootloader) and you could make a rom without busybox and superuser and it wouldn't have root...

Sounds like a ridiculous bug. Has it been modded at all?
I had an Atrix, It would reboot when I would turn on the hotspot.
I want to get a 32GB SD card for this Triumph, Just don't really know if it's worth buying right now.
I've got a 16 and it's not even a third of the way full. LOL

I'm going to be carrying around 3 phones.
This will be hilariously sad if anyone ever steals my purse.

I have a 16gb card and I have filled it up time and time again... I probably have like 30 or 40 gigs of sdcard backups on my computer so I can delete stuff and put more stuff on... I want to get a 64gb card, but they are hella expensive...

And I'm getting a MT that has a broken LCD for free so I will be able to fix mine since it just needs a new digitzer and the digitzer works on the broken one.

My MT has a few cracks along the gorilla glass. No biggie. It still works about the same as it did before it's big fall.

Can't phones only handle up to 32GB? Though I do know that if you partition it correctly it will use some of it towards RAM right? I'm not sure how that works...

It's a lie. Phones can theoretically handle up to 32 gb... then again 64gb cards are only a few months old. The way the 64gb cards are formatted phones won't recognize them, but if you format the card on your phone it will recognize and be able to use the whole card fine. I've never heard about partitioning the sdcard to be used towards ram though...

Tri partition SD cards are used with third partition as swap .You need swap enabled in the kernel .you can also use compressed cache .
All these techniques were used pre-Froyo and in devices less than 256MB devices .
Though they can be still used in GB but it is only useful if you have class 6+ SD card
 
she said she was done...short attention span...the last post was difficult since she wanted to press and hold down buttons
