Root Root for Fierce 2?

Oh that? The little argument about saying good bye in a root thread? Its a lol.

I do agree, on the other hand, how much profit do they really make selling this phone in particular? They want it to be a one and done situation instead of replacing it upon Bork's.

Also, do you realize how much crap is asking for root in this software? When you find "trusted credentials" in this thing, its crazy. Go daddy, ad trust, cyber trust, america online, equifax, gte, "japanese government", rsa security, "government root certification authority", visa and wells forgo. And theyre is alot more!!!

If the customer had root its like losing sponsors and they'll have to jack the phone up another $100.
 
Okay so don't get your hopes up..this post isn't about me finding root access..but I'm not sure if many of you know this...but after enabling developer options.. Believe it or not.. You can switch your runtime from dalvik to ART.

For those of you who don't know.. ART was implemented into Android for phones with low specs/ram. It helps your phone run far more efficiently. I'm going to test it out.

Thanks, found that on my Telus (Canada) One Touch Pop Icon 7040T too, will it out. By the way the Pop Icon is the same phone as the Fierce 2.
 
The problem with art runtime is that every app you install takes up much more space. An app that uses 30 megabytes on dalvik will use about twice as much space on art runtime. So you don't get nearly as much bang for your buck as far as storage space is concerned.
 
Well I'm stumped peeps.. I've tried every root method known publicly. ADB included.
Now it's a waiting game.
 
ART is slightly faster according to Antutu results but I switched back to Dalvik since IGO Primo does not work with ART and I use my phone as back up GPS while travelling.

I tried srsroot and a slew of others.. Wish I had good news for you.. I don't... I won't give up yet. Like I said, besides the bugs, it's a pretty bad ass little phone.. Root would be awesome.. Unlocked bootloader would be totally awesome. (won't happen)

/facepalm

If you want your email address removed before any more than the 200+ spam robots that have already picked it up, let me know.

If someone could do as you ask, it would be here.

You're asking to be taken whether you intended that or not.
 
Oh damn 200 spambots? Someone will be spending a hella lotta time in their inbox..
Maybe write a script of some sort to auto-unsubscribe yourself from the thousands of sites and newsletters.
 
Okay so far so good with this phone other than the fact that framaroot wont download supersu to root the device. I've tried all three 1.9 versions of framaroot and all have failed. If anyone uses this method and succeeds please let me know exactly what you did.

Framaroot is only for jellybean and iCS...
 
one can eliminate lag simply by disabling and/or uninstalling (where possible) all the metro bloat. snappy touchscreen for me. but this lack of internal memory is a joke (kinda like Alcatel); nonsensical they care so much about locked bootloader as they'd sell a lot more units w/ root, no question, and in doing so doesn't hurt the carrier because unlock is readily available. STUPID.

You can get around the lack of internal storage space by setting the external SD card as the default storage for app data.
 
How much free RAM so you guys have available? I get about 157MBs I don't have much apps installed and I've looked at the apps running and it doesn't add up?

and how does one accomplish that exactly w/o a functioning link2sd?

In the phone's storage settings, you'll see the "Default Write Disc" option and select "SD Card" instead of "Phone Storage". The core apk or application file(anywhere from 1 to 50MB) will still be stored in the phones internal memory but, any additional data the app needs will stored on the external SD card. I have 15 apps(three are large one GB+ games) installed on my phone and I still have over 1 GB of free internal storage space.

I usually have anywhere from 300 to 370MB of RAM available at anytime. I have 15 apps installed(three of which are large games). I also uninstalled most of the stock apps that can be uninstalled and disabled 28 of the stock apps I don't use. I think disabling apps that you don't use is a good way to save system resources and a little ram space. Do you clear apps from the multitasking tab when you close them?

I disabled 18 Apps which I don't ever use. I'll look to see which other apps I can disable. I've uninstalled all apps I could. I've also replaced stock apps with better alternatives( for example I use QuickPic for my gallery )
Yes I do clear apps from my multitasking tab at most I have three apps running.
One question for you, How's the gaming on this phone? So far I've only played worms 3 CSR racing and small games like piano tiles.

Pretty good actually. I've been able to play most of the high-end mobile games(Real Racing 3, Asphalt 8 and Maxpayne are on my phone right now) pretty smoothly with the exception of GTA San Andreas and Tainted Keep(of the games I've tried). Those need the low graphic settings to play smoothly. This phone also runs most emulators(PPSSPP, Dratic DS, My Boy, etc.) pretty well too. It's a good device if you're a mobile gamer.

Disabled more apps and uninstalled more apps so I have more RAM available. I don't really use this phone for gaming but if it's smooth with the games you listed I might get more games [emoji1]
Also judging by your name have you seen the LG Optimus L60 I've been looking into that phone but I need to ask questions to someone who owns that phone
 
Okay now my device is coming up as not recognized. I'm using windows 7. When I connect the USB cable I am getting a message that says "one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it...." I have had the phone less than a month why has it suddenly stopped connecting to my PC?
