Q4. is xt3 possible to mod? i mean changing theme, adding widgets, etc..
Please help me in this....

Can someone put light on this.....i am looking for your help dears....

its a great phone and i am using it know.Technicaly speaking its a phone that states its camera is 3mp on its backcover but mine is a newer android 2.1 version that motorola recalled it to change its camera sensor.It is shown in the camera launcher which says 5mp.It is pretty similar to the htc legend and i like it as the ui is very fast!It is so far very good and fast.No lag and it is very customisable.It can put almost any widget and at this price,It really is better then any phone even better then the legend.It also has a unscratcheable screen as it is gorilla glass!Its processer is 600mhz and that makes it alot better then the wildfire which loses in every way to the xt3!There is no 2.2 rom yet!But no features will be lost!And i am also a user of the iphone and i dumped it cos this is alot better if you know how to use it to its potential!Battery life is very good and can last a whole day with heavy youtube+web+Music+video usage!Get the phone!You will not be dissapointed!Make sure you get the android 2.1 version as there were two versions of it!

Hey Thanks Alisterrox....Thats great help....much much appriciated...
actually i already bought it - Motorola quench xt3.
i felt its good and the speed also good.....everything is fine...i played few games .....it went smooth.
also i have googled about 2.2 upgrade....few people have upgraded to froyo....which is cynagen mod.
if you know how to root our device...that will be helpful for me....there are few method ...i don't know which one works fine...
if you have rooted your device..pl. give some direction also if you have installed any theme or rom...please guide me how to do that
i hope i am not asking you somuch...
cheers

Root problem
Don't mention it!I did not root my phone as i have heard rumors that an official froyo update is in Feburary!I am sorry for the slow reply!As for cynagen mod it is the orange boston class which means you can try the mod in the class of the HTC legend or HTC Hero!I'm sorry if i am of not much help.However if you like the Samsung Galaxy S theme i have the file and i am gonna leave it here if you want!

Thanks alisterrox...thanks for your help....i already have installed Cyanogen mod 6.1.2 on my system....i didn't know that there will be a official update of 2.2....i could have waited for some time....even the installed cyanogen mod, i am not feeling its good....the touch resposive become bit lagish and the speed is very similar to 2.1...the battery drains early(this is the big issue).....the only benifit is i can install app on my SD card thats all.
between the file which you have attached here....how i can use...can i use 'rom manger to install ?
Thanks
Cheers

It is an apk technically speaking u just place the file in your sd card that will do the trick.You can use any app installer.As for the sluggishness of the mod it is expected as it is a general rom which may not be built for this phone specifically.....i will try probably to write a froyo rom into it if i have the time while i port a htc rom or any rom i can get hold of!Maybe dext motoblur rom as the specs are pretty similar!

Thanks alisterrox...whish you very very happy new year...i will try the theme and let you know....if you buil any rom please let me know...
also i have noticed that ...cyanogenmod people have ported the Gingerbread rom to our devices...pl. do check

Cheers

ThanQ
I m screwed up with my pretty old HTC Touch.. I am looking for best of HTC Wildfire, Samsung Galaxy 551, Motorola Quench XT3, LG Optimus1 P500, Sony Ericsson XPERIA X8..
but after seeing this thread and other threads I will definitely go for Motorola Quench XT3. Only one question how is the display colors and resolution compared with others ?
ThanQ

@ kbmkreddy
according to me ....Motorola quench XT3 is best buy...
Screen quality is better than any other mobile in this category ....(you can check the specification and compare...XT3 is best in class).
i would recommend do check LG optimus 1 p500 also...this is also a pretty good mobile.
cheers

hey here by i have attached few froyo rom's for our device....these are works fine without draining much battery...
i would recomment you to try 'jellybean' 'Apanda' & firetrap rom's to test..
http://boston-mania.blogspot.com/2011/01/rom-22-official-apanda-a60-rom-22.html
Bug: 1. there may be a chance to loose IMEI ...also 2. registering the network in the beginning is very slow 3. App2SD is not so good...you can't move everything.
http://boston-mania.blogspot.com/2011/02/rom-22-flphfiretrap-jellybean-221.html
bug: when ever you do in setting menu changes....will be restored to the factory setting whenever you restart. but one of the best rom i have ever used.
http://boston-mania.blogspot.com/2011/02/rom-22-android-bakpia-cokelat-221.html
bug: it says official rom for XT502 but whenever i install through SUT...it shows some error...but works fine...App2SD is not so good.
http://boston-mania.blogspot.com/2011/01/rom-22-official-foxconn-rom-22_28.html
bug: IMEI issue, Have to root, for some device...will be locked...
http://boston-mania.blogspot.com/2011/01/rom-22-firetrap-twonights-221.html
bug: App2SD is not good, I didn't like the dialer but this is the 2nd best rom i have used.
hope i have helped you.
cheers

Tried rom
I have tried all but the best so far is the official 2.2 xt502 rom with gingerbread ui.it's very stable fast allows the installation of apps to sd card.also the kernel 2.6.32.9 is way u will want if u want superb battery life and great speed.cyanogen of course is faster but it gives horrible battery life.apanda's and foxconn rom's are very good generally.but I heard the clock speed is capped mostly at 480mhz.apanda's are 600mhz but don't worryfficial Rom usually have no imei fault whatsoever.oh if u are facing problems with any rom that gives u other region setting(that's wat I got with the official rom) just go android market and dl the regional settings app.I suggest the official rom bcos it's made for our phones and u will not get things like commitiva z71 or any other orange boston clones;it say xt502.Apps2sd works fine here if u do a custom partition;I did it and it works fine.generally if u like firetrap has good rom.but recent roms also built on the official rom such as the balakaila rom have the same stable kernel.look for those as they are special kernel for our phone.oh error codes on sutlr are very common as we had clockwork mod to install cyanogen b4...thus it works wierdly.I have been fiddling around and I will most probably attempt rom building on the 2.6.32.9 kernel with no root.complete stock will give good performance.besides the gingerbread ui is gorgeous so try that out!it even has smart dialing enabled unlike other rom's.it make dialling a dream unlike the previous roms mentioned.cheers!maybe we should request for a thread specially for our xt502!

Hi alisterrox,
Where do I get the official update to 2.2 mentioned in your last post? I'm running stock 2.1 rom on my XT502 and need to update specifically for apps2sd and such other features.
Thanks in advance.
Sent from my Motorola-XT502 using XDA App

@ pamfu ...Official rom i have attached in my post...the first link is the official rom for our device(not exchatly xt502 rom but its official rom for similar variant.....i guess you know...its just a brand name...everything else are same).
@ alisterrox ...Thanks man....even i thought the same....official rom are fine to use..its very stable.......
since you have knowledge about rom's...you should cook some rom for our device....we should ask seprate thread for our XT502....that will be very much helpful
Cheers

rom building and guide
well i am waiting for the 2.4 sdk to come out b4 i try anything....oh if u want to know how to update to the 'official rom',the steps are
Flashing non cyanogen rom
Step 1ownload and install the SUTLR to your computer(link to dl:http://uploading.com/files/7942c5ef/SUTLR_v1.7.0.zip/)

Step 3:In SUTLR ,choose the option "erase user data"
Step 4:Click flash rom.wait a while and it should work.
Step 5o not worry about the errors u get after flashing.Just go ahead and boot ur phone up.After the motorola badge u will get the green android robot.It should boot up.
Step 4:If u dont like the chinese root explore use system app remover to clear file and dl the full version using applanet
Rmb to always backup ur rom!
If problems persist with booting(applies to most roms)
Step 1:Go into recovery mode(power+vol up+camera button)
Step 2:Using trackball or volume buttons,select wipe cache and wipe user data(select button is camera button,back is power button)
Step 3:Go into advanced settings and select wipe dalvik cache and wipe battery stats

Rooting ur phone if u are still on stock 2.1 and want cyanogen
Step 1:Using the universal androot apk provided,install it to ur phone.Click root after installation and opening the app
Step 2ownload rom manager.U can use the market but u can dl the premium version using applanet which is a app that provides paid apps free.

Step 4:Back up ur rom by selecting it in the app.
Step 5l the cyanogen rom u want.Rmb to download gapps or google apps.

Hi Alisterrox,
I'm using official XT502 with 2.3 UI rom too, it worked good so far. But why everytime I restart my phone my internal memory always reduced a little ? I used app2sd with ext3 partition in external. Did it happen too in yours ? Thank you.

@alisterrox
You really rock man! Such flawless instructions! My XT502 upgraded in flat 5 minutes!
THANKS THANKS THANKS ..... MANY THANKS!

[Q] I own an original Korean Motoroi - what the hell can I do with it??

Hi all, long time lurker here.
At the title says, I own a Korean original Motoroi, here in Korea on SKT. The current ROM I'm running is STSKT_N_79.33.50R .
Like some others on this board have noted in the past, this phone, with it's slower CPU, is an under-powered P.o.S. When I first got this last year it had a 2.1(.1?) ROM on it and in December last year Motorola graciously decided to release 2.2 for it. Anyway, I'm sure most of you already know that.
Upgrading this thing to 2.2 was like my friend's iPhone 3G when he upgraded it to iOS4: it was a slow, buggy mess, randomly locking up, rebooting and "losing" images on the SD card after talking some photos ("Can not write to SDcard" errors.) - among other things. To make matters worse, there seemed to be a huge bug in the Korean/English soft-keyboard that meant the input application would often crash during text entry.
Then, a few days after Motorola Korea released the 2.2 upgrade with all the above problems, they then seemed to pull it and reverted back to the old 2.1 version on their website. A few weeks later, they released 2.2 again, perhaps with those bugs fixed.... but with the same version number, thus preventing the updater program from updating MY phone to whatever version they have on the site now. Grrrr!
Anyway, enough of that long story, here are my questions:
1. What can I do with this phone now? I see a lot of custom ROMs here for the XT720 Milestone, but I know that it's a slightly different phone to the Motoroi... also, I've been led to understand that the Motoroi has a locked bootloader... right?
2. If I can re-flash roms on this... what custom rom would be suitable? There's so many versions here on this board that it's a little confusing. Also, what would be the procedure(s) to install it?
3. If there's no suitable custom rom here for this... can/how I re-flash this thing back to the stock, original 2.1 SKT rom? At least that was slightly faster and more stable than the 2.2 rom...
Well, one thing I can't complain about this was the price: I paid only 20,000원 for this on a 1 year contract spending only about 15,000원 a mouth. SKT were practically giving them away: I can see why, now.
TIA.

hello newbie here.......
i have the same problem before when i upgraded my motoroi to 2.2.1 , but i just found out that you can still root,overclock and use custom kernel...
- use superoneclick to root
- to overclock i use milestone overclock 1.4.2 version and setCPU
- if you want to use custom kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=990735 and use raser_motoroi_boot.7z
- i also using this to replace bootanimation and fonts http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888379
- my motoroi xt720 is now overclock to 1100g with 74vsel so far so good.....
- you can also use MOTOMIZER [optional]
hope this will help you dude....by the way i im also here in korea ang using KTF SHOW usim on my phone

here you guys go this guy made ROMS for motoroi, im not sure how well these work as i have not tried them. he has posted a bunch of them. the are for motoroi so you must start with motoroi firmware. and i cannot read his homepape as its in korean. so check em out. http://code.google.com/p/xt720/downloads/list

i will try this and according to dev. "No Rooting ROM created by the state, and wrote more attention to the theme, need to maintain a more stable and allows fast was created." but your phone must have 44R nonSKAF original rom, in think that is 2.1 update!
In KyuHyuk ROM for XT720 1.5.1 by removing some of the files have been lighter.
[KyuHyuk ROM for XT720 1.5.1 his LATEST ROM]

2. Factory reset, as soon KyuHyuk ROM can go to seed.

frozenroi works great on my motoroi better than KyuHyuk ROM but the problem is there is no sound on video recording even I try to call my mobile using my landline phone I cannot hear my voice only annoying noise.
Is there a way to fix this problem?
_________________________________

Thanks for the infos... how can I install these roms? I'm a bit of a newbie at this..
Also, I'm running the stock SK 2.2 rom, do I have to downgrade to 2.1 to install these?
My phone is already rooted using Superoneclick.

[Q] Help me please

Okay guys, here is what is my problem on my phone. I had flashed my phone with JPKP5 firmware the day I bought it and I feel that its giving me very very less battery as compared to what it should give. So, could you guys tell me the firmware I should flash it with, so that I can get better battery performance?
I have tried all settings for battery improvements, like lowest display, no wifi/Bluetooth and all that!
Please help me...
Thanks,
Aneesh

Try different rom....
Bro the first month battery will suck......just use it regularly discharge then charge.....u will see battery improvement...
Now about rom install i9003dxkp9 2.3.5 Asian version then cf root it and at last install poseidons rom rc1....u will see the difference

Thanks for the help bro! Its not one month since the date I bought the phone though! Btw, should I wait till my warranty? Or should I just go ahead with doing what you asked?

samsung galaxy 3 problems after upgrading to 2.2

i upgraded my samsung galaxy 3 i5801 firmware to android 2.2 about a month back from samsung kies
here are the problems i encountered
the inbuilt launcher doesnt works-
it simply doesnt after a lot of pain i managed to get the launcher pro working
no matter how much i charge the battery usually after 1-2 hours of usage it shows a low battery warning and automatically shuts down but when i restart it the battery is back to either 100% or 50%
and my galaxy 3 is slower than ever
it takes 5-6 mins to load the gallery
god knows what happened to my cell phone it was working normaly with the stock 2.1 rom that came preloaded with the phone didnt expect it from samsung
is there anyone else over here who has faced similar problems
whats the best possible remedy??
is there a fully functional tried and tested custom 2.2/.3 firmware that is compatible with indian samsung galaxy 3 if so enlighten me
regards
ashish saluja

Flash ddjp6 is indian 2.2 latest upgrade or xxjpu is the europe version.calibrate your battery after flashing new rom with the help of battery calibrator.
Edit: plz.flash the rom with the help of odin multidownloader.if your battery is more than year old then you have to replace it,but before that try to full charge the battery when it is completely drain and then calibrate the battery.
