As most of us know Tmobile released an app that is supposed to help with battery drain and apps running in the background: Device tune up.
The article at tmobile says not to use with custom loaded software and i was just curious if someone has used it with Cyanogenmod eclair rom. IF so has it caused any problems?
I searched and noone has stated whether they encountered any problems when using with custom so don't tell me to do a search. thank you
find the link below

Yes, I looked through that thread before I posted this topic. Noone in that thread states if they are using a custom rom.
So again is anyone using device TuneUp with custom roms.
Do not pooint me to another thread unless someone in that thread says that are using it with a custom rom. Even if their signature says they are using a custom rom that's jot good enough for me. Some people don't update their sig.

I just bought the paid version of rom manager and I cant view the premium roms, just the free ones... any sugestions?
It all depends on what rom maker has contacted and hosted their roms with rom manager. So from what I see only Cognition is downloadable from there as DG is hosting his roms with them.
Just cause the rom is here or elsewhere on the net doesn't mean it automatically shows up in Rom Manager. The rom maker has to give it to rom manager to host.
I hope I understood your question
I understand that, but according the the market description and everywhere else I looked there should be a larger selection if you buy the premium version, which I did, and that was the reason I bought it.
that description covers every single phone, true on other phones there is a wider selection to choose from. but on the captivate you have a VERY limited selection, CM7 and i wasnt aware but apparently cognition also. there is a free version of a rom manager like grouping of roms for your device its called the development section right here on xda
Well that was a waste of 6 bucks...

Well it is only a waste if you never plan on getting a new phone. I personally dont use it but it could be a handy option i guess

The market description is generic, the only premium rom you can get on a captivate with rom manager is cm7.
Same problem here. CM7 page says to use ROM Manager Premium to flash latest CM7. I bought the app and no Premium ROMs. In fact, only ROM was in the free section (Design Gears Cognition).
I tweeted the app author about the Prem ROMs, specifically CM7. Never got any reply. Now I noticed that the Cognition ROM had been moved from the Free section to the Prem section.
May have to contact Paypal for refund - app not as advertised and no contact from developer. I'm guessing it was a good app at one time for all the previous reviews and recommendations from CWM and CM, but something's changed.

no. this app is great for other ANDROID phones, but not galaxy S phones.....do some research next time.
Hope you weren't directing that to me. Research was done. Check out Cyanogen's wiki on installing CM7 on Galaxy S phones. I'd post the link for you, but I need to post more to this forum in order to post outside links. And i'm sure you'll be able to find their Wiki easily.

I was directing that at you. I have installed cm7 on one captivate using rom manager (free version). It worked fine but rom manager has never had roms for our phone. It has a bunch of roms available for my desire z and my mytouch4g, but nothing for the captivate. Want to know why? Rom developers don't put their roms in rom manager. Its not the fault of koush (the app dev for rom manager), the fault lies on the rom devs. You want to complain that there are no roms available for your device on rom manager? Complain to them. Don't lay blame on koush or talk trash about his app.

The big reason that cm7 directs you towards rom manager is that the creater of rom manager played a big part in the captivate getting cm7 in the first place. Its their way of saying thanks for all the hard work. I believe the plan is to host cm7 with rom manager after they have a stable release

@Pirateghost - saying that the developer didn't reply to a question about his app is not trashing him. Nor did I intend to trash him. If you'd check RM before ranting to people, you'd see that it does support some CM7 ROMS. And if you'd check CyanogenMod's page and wiki, you'd see that they list using RM as their first option to flash CM7.
I've found my answer to this already, so take this as some constructive criticism; people come to these forums to find answers from people who can help or to get pointed in the right direction. Don't just answer "do some research". Like I already posted; I did the research, and if you did, you would know that both RM and Cyanogen work together. The original thread for this topic was that the Roms weren't showing at the time the OP posted.
Thank you.

why would i need to do the fkn research on something i use all the time on my other phones????
Hi. Im fairly new to the Android OS. I just switched from an iphone. And ive been seeing/hearing a lot of talk about rooting, flashing roms, etc. I know that there are probably many threads on this, but I just wanted to know what are the pros and cons of rooting, flashing roms and such. And if I decide to do so, how do I? What rom would be best (for my sgs4g)? Sorry if this was too muxh to ask. Thanks in advance

Well right now, the best ROM you can have is Gingerbread, which just came out recently.
Rooting is very similar to Jailbreaking when it comes to iPhone; it allows you to perform speed tweaks, and enable functionality not available on standard software.
As for flashing these ROMs, make sure you download a program called ODIN.
Before that, install the Samsung USB Drivers and read THIS.

I compiled a few tutorials on some various tweaks on my site as well, and have a few download links for files if you need them.
Good luck!

Im not sure that Gingerbread would be the best choice right now for someone just starting out. It appears that the ROM that whitehawkx just releases still has a few bugs to be worked out. I would say that Bionix is probably a better choice for the moment.
Hah thanks. But I just had a few more questions. Do I need to be rooted to install gingerbread? Is flashing necessary? And is installing the new software just as easy as jailbreaking like an iphone?

First off. Post in the correct section. This belongs in General. Please try searching before making a new thread. You know that this has been answered several times in multiple threads. I came from and Iphone too and I took the time to do the research. First just go to the Bible for SGS 4G. You'll find it here in this section. Make sure you read everything. I too was a noob but I took the time to read everything before posting a new thread on what's been answered just for your convenience.

I would suggest doing TONS of reading on all the topics related to flashing/rooting/etc... Another reason why I think Gingerbread would be a bad choice for you right now is because I don't think ClockworkMod works with it yet. Without CWM you won't be able to do things like installing zips from your SD card and doing complete backups of your phone in case you mess something up. Yes, you will need to be rooted in order to flash to a new ROM. Flashing is only necessary if you want a ROM. Like what you have? Then don't flash.
Android is a pretty easy OS to use when you get used to it. But make sure that you take it slow and read everything carefully. Hope this helps.
Thanks for all the feedback everyone.. I'll be sure to look into this morw before I decide what to do.

Ehh, I've been running on Gingerbread and aside from a single bluetooth issue, I really have no complaints.
Bionix is a good choice too, though. You may be right in suggesting that as a beginners ROM.
So, Go with Bionix, edwenoid, it'll allow you to do many more tweaks.
Remember, this might seem pretty complicated at first, but I've had a Galaxy S 4G for only about a month now and i'm not too bad at this whole tweaking thingamajig

I am new to rooting. After using my phone simply rooted i decided to flash a Rom. I am using Synergy but since i flashed it i am no longer able to recieve MMS messages. when i look at the message settings i am missing information. Please Help. I am missing some goooood Stufff.
You will probably have better luck posting in your phones forum (Q&A section), or even better in the thread specific to the ROM you are having issues with.
Unfortunately he can't until he has 10 posts. It's a nice catch 22. Im digging through search in hope of finding answers.
I don't think MMS over wifi works on that rom. Try over 3g?
Yea i tried posting it wont let me yet. I just don't know what else to do besides really flashing stock rom and trying again

i believe mms is borked on that rom. was for me.
I've got a question. If I wanted to switch to Synergy's new RC do I need to install any custom kernel or is it included with the install of the ROM as well?
i flashed that same ROM with no issue. you may try to reflash it and be sure to wipe everything clean. something may have just gone wrong in the process
There are currently no gingersense kernels. No source I believe

I'm looking for anything and everything even remotely related to a different ROM/OS/MOD for my transfix. I've looked high and low and the only thing I could find is how to root it, and that's all I've been able to do so far. Is there anyone that could either provide me with some sort of ROM, or at least point me in the right direction?
-sadface- I guess there aren't any mods for it yet?

This thread claims to be looking for beta-testers for a Transfix Rom:

I would beta test if I knew how to do all of the stuff they say I need to.

Well, it seems like a CWM port is on the way, which will go a long ways into doing any roms for this phone. Believe me I feel your pain, I hate stock, especially when a custom ROM would do wonders for the hardware in this phone (Like DTA2SD & updated Adreno drivers). All we can do is be patient and start with the custom recovery.
Hi,
has anyone ever rooted a T-mobile MOVE 2.2.2 phone?
I have found extensive topics about rooting other phone models, but found only one topic about the MOVE model: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16049789#post16049789
Could anyone confirm whether the "GingerBreak-v1.10.apk" actually works?

The MOVE obviously is not a very popular phone (given it is still on Froyo lol and I've never heard of it. I pretty much know every brand name phone so...), so it is doubtful that an actually user can reply
If you want to take on this tone, then allow me to ask you why you even posted this in the first place? You post when you need help, NOT to confirm if something is working or not when you have not even tried it. XDA is a dev forum and you will always be wondering if something (such as a ROM, recovery, mod) works, is compatible with your phone, if it helps in x or y way, etc.
The best way to answer your question is to try it yourself, and that is why my answer answers your question.
Given the fact that someone else used it and is the only source you could find, isn't your question answered? Thus this thread is useless and could you explain how this thread has any purpose?
In simple words, don't get fresh with any member who definitely knows more about rooting than you.
