Q1. is it advaisable to buy motorola quench xt3? is it great phone for budget price? i don't have much money to spend on phones since i have lost my iphone recently..
Q2. right now they are providing Android 2.1 with it....is it possible to upgrade to android 2.2? official or unofficial upgrade is possible ?
Q3. if i upgrade to 2.2, will i loose any features?
Q4. is xt3 possible to mod? i mean changing theme, adding widgets, etc..
Please help me in this....
i am looking for your support on this.
cheers
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

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

Posting of guide

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 2ut the phone in download mode -> red call button + vol up + power.Rmb to download the rom u want on ur computer and unzip it.It is a nbo file.
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
Step 3:It should work.If there are problems feel free to ask.
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 3:In rom manager,flash clockwork mod recovery.
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.
Step 6ut the rom rar file into ur sd card root folder.Rename the cyanogen rar file as update
Step 7:Go into recovery mode again.Select the flash 'update.zip' option.
Step 8:After complete,clear all user data,cache and everyting as mentioned b4.
Step 9:Reboot ur phone.U should get the cyanogen mod robot.If stuck at the motorola badge dont panic.refer to the help at the top of this post.
Step 10:Ur done!But rmb to download the latest google apps to ur phone.Its the same way put the gapps mdpi to ur root folder.This time dont rename it.just select flash zip from sdcard.after complete u will get the latest 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!
Hi All.
I bought a new HTC Desire HD ( with HTC Sense ). Everything is great except it isnt arabic enabled, arabic websites display unconnected letters.
What is the best way to fix this issue, is it by flashing a new ROM or by another method.
I read the tutorial of "how to flash the Desire HD", this shouldnt be a problem.
Is there a custom ROM, arabic enabled, and fix some of the battery drain issue ?
Do I need to flash the Radio also ? or its not recommended.
Below are the current info:
Android version:
2.2
Baseband version:
12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
Kernel version
2.6.32.21-gf3f553d
28 oct 2010
Build number
1.32.405.6 CL278359
software number
1.32.405.6
Browser version
Webkit 3.1
Thanks in advance
Yawn
Hi Awacs
go to the link below:
http://www.ce4arab.com/vb7/showthread.php?t=292130
this is the best arabized Rom, no other Roms give you complete Arabic support
Thanks Radlouni for your reply and sorry for being late in posting back.
I checked the link, and I'll register there to see all the links with all the step by step procedures. I wont do anything before mastering it coz there are few points still not clear.
or you can use LeeDroid ARA 1.2.Me and others use it and it's great.it's the official arabic rom with LeeDroid with LeeDroid's famous and great tweaks
Thanks for the info
Any link to get it from with all the necessary procedures and tools ?
I need to flash only the ROM right ?
The device needs to be rooted and S-off ? ( Im not sure if i did understand well the S-off procedure ). I installed VisionaryPlus and now to the device is temporary rooted, i've read that the permanent root is risky on those device. I need to back up my rom first in case anything went wrong. I installed Rom Manager.
Sorry for the trouble I have all the necessary info on how to do it, but i should arrange them in priority.
Thans once again

Tiamat Rom 2.0 Manta Ray is great. For me, stock rom is boring. With Tiamat you get all the functions stock 3.2 still doesn't have.
If so could u help me to have Tiamat rom on mine? I think i have the stock rom rooted now.. .not sure tho cuz i dont know much about this stuff.. step by step guidance will be very helpful, thanks alot
You do need to know whether you are rooted and what rom you are currently running. This information will determine what method you use to flash the Tiamat rom.Have you tested to see if you have root? That will make things easier.
thanks okantomi for your advice, the guy who sold this xoom to me told me it's rooted. i even downloaded a few apk apps and they work fine. i am sure it's rooted but i don't know what type of rom its running. could you be able to tell what rom it's running by looking at the info? thanks..Here is info on my xoom

I have rooted 3 phones prior to this one. I have it all set up and running Refuse 1.7. I have seen that there are a good load of roms available for the infuse 4g. Many of them say 2.3.5, etc. Is that the android version needed by the phone before installing the rom? I am on 2.2.1 and am worried about installing any other rom, than one which has froyo in the name leaving me with only 3 choices. Any help would be appreciated I want to try a miui rom or something else from here but am worried that since I have 2.2.1 when I install one that has 2.3 in its name I will brick.

No bro, the " 2.3.5" or "2.3.6" its that ROMs Android version, not the one needed to install it, still you do need a modified recovery to easily install a custom rom. I would personally recomend this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220088
as a good guide for new guys trying to install custom roms since the instructions are very detailed and hardly would give you trouble. After installing that rom you would have gathered the necessary knowledge to choose your next rom like MIUI or CM7 or another samsung Infuse rom or Samsung port to Infuse.
i just got a Virgin mobile LG Optimus V from a friend and i don't really want it as a phone, i would really like it as a iPod sort of thing and i'm new to rooting and flashing roms so i need help with it. i have already rooted it using gingerbreak and i would like either a 2.3 or 4.0 rom . (not really digging android 2.2) whenever i look at the forum for a rom on here the links are always broken so can someone help me maby walk me through flashing a rom and which is the best? another question. if i install a rom with either 2.3 or 4.0, will i be able to use apps that require 2.3 or 4.0?
the play market docent have alot of selection for froyo 2.2.
For flashing rom just google it
for a good rom try gingersnap by neko95
apps frm 2.3 will work as o1 is upgradable to 2.3.1 but apps for 4.0 will not work
Press THANKS IF I HELPED
You can try LeWaOS by me.. link is in the description
Ics roms have some bug's so let's try gingerbread based roms they are good.
