No mate. There are better UIs to play with apart from iPhone. U may try Wisbar and Desktop for it. Found at www.LakeridgeSoftware.com
Additionally, have a look at Ten Best Softwares[/guide] Guide to know what are the must haves.

One thing to know is that you've got to do your research before you jump into asking questions.. pisses people off if you ásk obvious questions when they've already been asked a million times before.. Usually a quick forum search will do the trick..

Oh okay, ill have to play with that when i have some spare time,but anyone where i can get that wishbar with desktop thing and the rosco keyboard thing for free? or does this forum not support illegal ****, or anyone know a forum or site that does?
Dude, are you for real? I mean, really living, breathing... human being?
BkFin3zt, welcome to "The Internet".
This forum doesn't support warez. Don't even ask.
What i dont have time to ****ing search the internet all day , i have a life, i go to college and i have a full time job. So if your not gonna ****ing help why even post you low lifes.
Take a few days off.
I am an absolute upgrading noob. I have never done anything like this before nor have I even attempted it. So I was hoping someone would please be able to help me. If someone could even take the time to walk me through these processes I would be eternally grateful.
A gentleman came into my store with the Touch Flo Cube application running on his Tilt and I fell in love. The gentleman gave me the name of the program and sent me online to do a little research first. Well, long story short I ended up here and I was told this was one of the best places to go. So, I had quite a few very noobish questions and I was hoping that you guys could help me and would be gentle. I am very concerned because I have never done this before and everywhere I look there are very big warnings about "bricking your device". I have already gone through one Tilt due to liquid, and I do not want to go through another. So please please help me out here guys.
So, I have found a place to download the Touch Flo Cube from. The gentleman that I spoke to on htcwiki.com said that all I needed to do was install the application to my Tilt's internal memory, and then once I open the folder it would self install. Do I store this to it's own individual Folder? Or do I store it to a certain folder in the device? Does the device have to be unlocked in order to run the application?(Mine currently is locked to at&t Wireless USA)
Will the Touch Flo Cube enable me to view websites similar to the i-phone?
Will the Touch Flo Cube enable me to watch Youtube videos and other online videos? If not, how do I do so?
Also, I went to download the application, and it said that if I didn't buy some content that after 90 days my stuff would be deleted. Does this meant that after 90 days my application will be deleted off of the device? This might be a really really dumb question, but I just simply don't know the answer. Sorry

no it will not brick your phone
it will install on its own
no it will not make you view websites like the iphone or watch videos on you tube..you need to get TCPMP video player and the video bundle to do so
and that cube is prolly some 3rd party program that you buy...there is a cube application that is completly free...
the cube is just a cube that has shortcuts to programs and your favorite people...

I agree. This was a quick, informative reply without any attitude. For someone to ask such noob questions because the can't be bothered reading this site for more than a few minutes he should be lucky. Questions like this get answered every other day and just bog down the fourm.
Please do a lot more reading of this site so that you actually understand how to flash a ROM before you go a head and brick your phone. I'd say at least for a few days rather than a few minutes!

I wish you all the luck and hope you get what you're looking for, but, seriously, you couldn't use search and read for a little? Anything you wanna learn how to do is provided in Stickies, Wiki's, and Search. I had NO idea how to flash a ROM or where to start when I first got here. I just started reading thread after thread until I started to grasp what needed to be done. I understand you're anxious to get your device all modded and the way you want it, but unless you invest the time to understand what you're doing, jumping into this is NOT the way to go. Next thing you'll be doing is starting ANOTHER thread because something went wrong and your device got bricked. Do you wanna go w/o a phone for x amount of days until you either figure it out or buy another one? Doubtful. So read, read, and keep reading. Everyone is here to help, but they're also sick of people making their first post exp[ecting people to hold their hands and do everything for them. Good luck.

this is why we hate DUMB AZZ questions and we all get pissed off.

You're absolutely right but.... We all were noobs. We've all made mistakes. He needs to read more but we can't get so absolutely pissed every time some one says something dumb. Maybe it should be a requirement that all new members COMPLETELY read the FAQ. This is by far the best forum for our phones and the community here is the greatest. We don't need to be so mean.
I've always been told, that if you've nothing positive to say, then say nothing at all.
If you're sick and tired of all the "n00bs" posting the same questions over and over, just don't reply, there's no need for you to go all postal on their ass, it doesn't improve your epeen in anyway, doesn't make you look superior, just think happy thoughts about their impending brick, and move on to the next thread.
Or heck, break the mould, answer the question again.
And for all the people spouting "read the wiki", the link never loads.
Has anyone used these that are adverstised on craigslist? I am to much of a noob to try any rooting process other that a one click so i thought maybe i should let a "pro" do it. I was just wondering if anyone has had negative experiences

honestly dont.
Its not worth any cost they charge to root your phone. I did a one click method for Droid og, and a three click process for thunderbolt. They work fine, and I know there is a debate on auto or manual root, regardless they both work.
I was like you when I first rooted my droid and was scared of bricking the phone etc. If you follow the steps and just go slow and make sure you have everything downloaded properly, rooting is easy.
What three step process are you refering too? I looked at this post ..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=996616 which seems to be the method you have to do after that ota update and do be honest that is way over my head.
What about the one click method posted on droid life not too long ago.
.http://www.droid-life.com/2011/03/26/another-one-click-root-method-available-for-htc-thunderbolt/
..would that work?

We were all noobs at once. read up and Get R done. You can do it.
I did a 3 click method as well. It was before the ota so I can't speak for that link. It was more involved than the unrevoked program for Dinc but it wasn't hard and the best part is iit includes all the adb drivers and files in one neat. Exe

That was a little harsh. You were a noob once too, so cut the OP some slack.
Back to topic. I have never used a craigslist ad for rooting & I don't know anyone that has, so I can't vouch for it. But rooting your own phone is the best way to make sure you don't get scammed. Plus, you won't have to rely on someone else every time you get a new phone. Rooting the Tbolt is not hard, you just gotta read everything you can find about it beforehand. If you're still unsure after reading xda forums, watch some youtube demos. If you MUST rely on someone else to root, I would get a knowledgeable friend or coworker to do it before contacting some guy from craigslist. A friend would do it for free, anyway

Rooting services on Craigslist? You must be thinking of Craigslist Australia.
Nah, I see jailbreaking/rooting ads on houston craigslist all the time. Actually its proly an easy way to make some cash, but I personally wouldn't pay anyone to jack with my phone

Lol... Anyways, to the op... Rooting is really not that difficult if you just do your homework and follow directions to a tee. I would never allow some random dude on Craigslist to even touch my phone. What would you do if you came across a problem (which eventually you will) and had no idea how to fix it because you couldn't even root your own phone? My suggestion would be to study up and use the manual root method with adb. You will benefit the most from this and learn a lot along the way. Just don't pay somebody else to do of for you, its not that difficult.
I'll root your phone for free. Don't expect it back though. :$

My friend paid like 20 bucks through paypal to root his Evo Supersonic. It was through one of those cell phone shops.. It worked for him but you should just learn to do it yourself cause you are going to eventually need to learn how to do all this stuff for yourself.

Thank you for everyones input. I wont go the craigslist way and just do my homework like suggested. Maybe some dev comes up with a one click method for the ota version

The problem with letting someone root your phone is you don't learn how to use the necessary tools to flash roms, themes, create backups and the like. You don't grasp the concept of what could go wrong and what will go wrong.
The biggest thing to know is not how to root your phone but how to fix it when it breaks.

If I had easy rooted and not taken the time to learn my way around ADB I would have a brick right now. I douched up while I was upgrading to the new Gingersense radio and knowing my way around ADB saved my ass. If you root without knowing what is going on you are asking for a very expensive mistake.
I have to agree with sublimaze... I too see these posts in Houston. This is my first Android and in the beginning, I too was nervous about root process. The 3 click method is actually really easy as long as you take your time and be careful. I went from knowing nothing to rooting 4 tbolts and bringing mine back from a frozen splash screen. Just read man, ask questions and be careful. Not all of us will flame you for asking questions. Good luck bro.

Thank you, i will def study and only do it then when i am comfortable that i have it down. I cant afford any mistakes. Bking_soda, mind if i pm you with question when that time comes. Having done 4 tbolts you are obviously an expert
Definitly worth learning to do yourself, keep in mind there will be mistakes as you go forward, yes it is possible to brick your phone but very hard to a do. Read read read and when you think you have it figured out read some more. The more you do yourself the more you'll understand when you do get a bad flash what you need to do. Dont worry It can almost always be recovered. And most of the smart people in these forums will help and not flame you for asking for it.
Okay so I had a G2x and tried rooting it and I think i did something wrong. With all these instructions ramble on about one thing and another hard for me to really understand all the correct steps.
So can I please have someone give me a hand with this? As in a step by step process of everything? This is my second G2X brand new from T-Mobile has the Gingerbread 2.3.3. So if anyone can actually tell me step by step and what files I am going to need so I don't brick this one because 300USD is getting expensive.
u payed for ur replacement? lol
use the one click flash nvidia tool, to flash the clockworkmod, you dont evne have to root it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kG08Uc8pQT0
yeah I had to pay for a second one. GRRR T-Mo actually checks their phones with sprint if I bricked or something just dip it in water and send it in. They would never check to see if you rooted it. So anyways do I install Clockwork or only do the steps in the video with the nv flasher?
And whats the best rom? I really like the looks of MIUI sorta looks like my wifes iPhone.
i think you screwed yourself on this one... this phone is like virtually unbrickable, nvflash should be able to bring you out of any soft bricks you might run into and ive run into a fair share of them and never had a problem...
i would recommend you sift though the development section and read all of the tutorials and have a very good understanding of what you are doing instead of having someone spoonfeed you everything when you really dont know what you are doing... (im a high school math teacher and cannot stand it when students are just spoonfed information because in the end they really dont understand what they are doing)

Then why even post in here? Don't be a ****. Even more frustrating than people who can't use a search feature are people too uptight and high-strung to help someone. Yeah, maybe the OP could have found the answer himself. But he's obviously been following a tutorial (likely in this very forum) that's not working for him (hence his replacement phone). The guy just needs two seconds of help from someone. In the amount of time it took me to copy/paste the following links, I could have torn him a new one thirty times over. But I'm not a ****. So, if you absolutely HAVE to post here, at least make it constructive. Incessant *****ing does no good for anyone.
To the OP:
Firstly, you'll need to flash CWM. This is super simple, given you're on a PC. If you're on Mac, things will get tricky (i.e. virtual Linux environment, headaches, etc).
Next, you can find an easy to follow rooting method here. It even has an unroot .zip option given you have to send your phone in again (will save you another $300 ).
And of course, you can PM me if you need any help. If these are the steps you have already followed, here's a YouTube video with some visuals. When I'm stuck on something, that usually helps me a lot.

Uhhhh... i really dont understand how i was being a ****... I simply stated that he should have a holistic understanding of what hes doing before he starts tinkering because the figure it out as you go method can lead to a 300 dollar paper weight. Not to mention I pointed him in the right direction to start....
All I did was give a bit of advice that I felt was in his best interest and then sent him on his way...

They are being difficult. What they realize is that the OP has already stated that he's bricked one device because he cannot follow directions. He obviously does not know what he's doing, and has problems following instructions because, as he put it..they go on and on... In the end even if he successfully roots his phone, he may wind up causing himself problems by having access to system files because it's obvious he doesn't really know what he's doing. Everyone shouldn't root. If you cannot follow the simple instructions to root without "bricking" a device, and you cannot follow simple instructions to bring the device back to an operational state, then perhaps rooting is not for you (OP). It just sounds like he is going to cause himself even more problems.

And whats the best rom? I really like the looks of MIUI sorta looks like my wifes iPhone.

I can't believe no one has said this yet.
Most phones have water sensors, so dipping it in water would just void the warranty. Sorry if you were joking. But as many have said, it's pretty easy to flash the phone back to normal so the TMobile doesn't know it's been hacked. Did you ask here first?
I am thankful for all the responses. Sorry if I caused grief and headache to anyone. I was finally able to get my phone rooted giving the information that someone provided to me on here. I sent him a PM to personally thank him.
By all means I should probably be *****ed at if I don't follow instructions very well. I have always considered myself a visual learner. If I don't have hands on and able to see it done, it really complicates things for me. I guess you can call it a disability.
Anyways I have come from a long line to HTC which I can say is way different in rooting then these phones. I root them to begin with to get rid of all the stupid software T-Mobile places in my phone and to normally switch to CM7 which I have found out is giving me problems which I am currently trying to figure out.
So please negative comments and put downs are always accepted it comes with the questions. But I don't want to sound like an ass or anything when I say this because I mean it in the upmost respect to everyone, but isn't this a forum? A community forum?
Someone once had to show you, all I did was ask for the same help. And this whole GSM network ways of doing things is different from my typical Sprint CDMA network that I am used to. Everything was pretty much the same when it came to that.
Again please I AM VERY SORRY truly if I caused any problems. Please don't be upset at me. Thanks.
I don't think anyone is upset with you. We're all here to contribute and help. Have fun with your rooted G2X

Okay so I had a G2x and tried rooting it and I think i did something wrong. With all these instructions ramble on about one thing and another hard for me to really understand all the correct steps.
So can I please have someone give me a hand with this? As in a step by step process of everything? This is my second G2X brand new from T-Mobile has the Gingerbread 2.3.3. So if anyone can actually tell me step by step and what files I am going to need so I don't brick this one because 300USD is getting expensive.

Don't feel bad. I bricked mine upgrading to GB, and I'm still not sure what went wrong. I got it fixed for free by sending it into LG.

Do not sweat the whiners. Here is the way I look at it... It is a forum for developers. I can not develop crap, so I try to do my part by being helpful when I can. Everyone here was brand new at one point. Make sure you do your part by reading as much as you can. If you still have questions/issues, send me a PM.
Why does every noob question get followed up with a bunch bullshizz. We were all noobs at one point, I remember when my Huawei ascend scared me. Nothing is worse than bricking your phone and being upset than a bunch of know it all asses being pricks. Is the g2x forum the only one full of d-ckheads? I've never heard so much whining and holier than thou bs. I'm surprised we have any devs, ungrateful bunch of *****es. Wah, nvidia never, wah, everyone else has ics, wah, that noob asked a question, wah, I suck. I love my g2x, it's a typical musclecar, way over powered and finicky as hell. The g2x is not a beginners device, this is for big boys and girls. I wonder what the whiners would do if they owned a ferrari? Newsflash, they break down, a lot! I remember when xda was where you went for help and support, now I come here to be entertained by the ignorance of the know it alls. Go ahead, blast me, I'm a writer for an Android website and I'll make it painful. OK, then, how bout all these new roms and updates? It's like the g2x is reborn. Hey, wait a minute, I thought the g2x was a useless, unsupported piece of ka ka? Frickin morons!

Well first I am glad you were able to fix the phone however I understand knowledgeable people get frustrated because this phone is simple to root. With a phone that has been out this long there is no reason anyone can not find out what to do on there own.
There are so many YouTube videos and forums like this. You are not the second person to too your phone or to brick it so why create a new post looking for help when you can simply Google it. I know your lazy and expect someone else to do your work for you.

See plenty of info on the subject I am sure one of these other people have been helped.
This is why devs are tired of these questions they have been answered over and over. You may find this mean to say but you most likely found this forum by using Google so use it to fix your phone. Stop wasting peoples time by being lazy and use your head.

The problem is this. Ppl dont know how to research their issue. Also ppl in our generation cant seem to follow directions worth ****. I was the same way. I learned on my g1. Rooted it successful and then bricked my friends. Over the years ive learned alot about computers/phone/cdma flashing. Playing with the big boys. You develop problem solving skills that you can apply outside of this. It truly makes you smarter. So yea. Maybe we are know it all asses.
