I plan to buy the Bionic next week, or in a few months. (more likely tomorrow)
And I am trying to figure out if Webtop App and possibly Laptop attachment is worth it. I am not able to find any straight forward Apps or features. Just people talking about how to root it... If there is already a post that mentions the below, please past the link and not tell me to use Google,... I already did, and I am not looking for how to root, I am looking for why should I root.
What can the Webtop App do before the hacks/root access?
What can I do after I hack/root?
I already know about not needing the dock after Webtop has been hacked... I want to know about other apps, and features that make this a worth while purchase.
I do plan on rooting the phone and getting full use out of it.
Thanks in advanced!
If I should have posted this into a different forum, please let me know.
Thanks.
Bump!
youll get your answers in the atrix forum

Hello, You aren't allowed to post you email apparently and it has been removed.
Making this forum the only way for us to help you.
First of all you should ensure wether you have a MileStone (EU) or Droid (US)
You can tell by looking at your phone and checking if it says Verizon.
If it does, I can't help you any further and you should ask for help in the Droid forums. If it doesn't, I'm close to sure we can help you out
So now that you know which phone you have, you've probably done half of the work already. I can't really tell what your problem is, but I guess you have these 2 issues:
1, You have no GPS-Application. You can buy, or get one for the phone. I'm talking about softwares like Navigon and iGo, which aren't free though, but allow you to navigate without internet (for if you don't have an internet contract.)
If you don't want to pay any money and own an internet subscribtion in your contract, you can just use Google Maps to navigate! Update it through the android market and you're good to go!
2, Now for the second issue:
Unfortunately we don't have any chance of getting custom roms! Only the Motorola Droid Does! There is a way through nandroid backups, but seen the fact that you are just new to the whole thing, I'd recommend you to explore the forums and later on install MotoFrenzy, or the official update to Froyo from motorola, which they will, according to them, release by the end of 2010
Hope I helped!
Greetings, Mike
Hello everyone,
Ive been trying to follow this forum for a little while now, in hopes of learning abit about rooting my Inspire once i got it. I just got the phone today and think im ready to jump into my first root.
My questions are:
Is rooting absolutlety neccesary for me? My main goals are deleting the bloatware and enabling mobile hotspot.
Ive been reading about some issues with audio. If i follow the instructions in the hack kit, will the phone function the same after root as it did before?
Any tips at all for a first timer? Im not interested in changing the UI or anything like that. I just wanna remove all the bloatware junk, and enable mobile hotspot, and third party apps.
Ill keep reading and searching the forums as much as possible to answer my own questions, just thought id put this out there encase anyone had tips.
Many thanks!!
i just noticed this had been moved. Shouldnt i have posted this in the development forum with the other root stuff?

You will need to root unless you want to pay for the hot spot. If you use the hack kit you will have an unlocked phone not carrier oriented no bloat ware at all.

attn1 has made the process extremely easy with the new update..
As for tips..keep searching, I'm always finding new stuff all the time. As for rooting, just follow the instructions to a T and you will have no problem whatsoever, attn1 has an irc chat and the guys over there can help if you run into any problems. I'm not 100% sure, I'm sure someone can verify but I don't think you need to flash a new rom after you're rooted, I did just because if I was gonna go through the entire process I might as well try one..I'm now on my 3rd rom, it's just a lot of fun to try them all out at least once to get a feel for each.

I would say look into the dev forums for the inspire. But like everyone say read up on the roms that you may like I have tried a lot roms but for me ninja has been working the best for me, but that's me. But their is a lot of roms that are wonderful. I think their is a new root method in dev for inspire. But I used at the time bubbys method.
But if you have any ?s p m me I don't mind helping out new inspire.users

That's what I used as well. Worked wonderfully
Also, if you would like some screenshots of the rooting step, you can also refer to this guide, which has general instructions and also mentions Bubby's method as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033353
You'll also notice that guide tells you to wipe the Dalvik Cache, in addition to deleting all user data. attn1's instructions didn't include wiping Dalvik Cache, but from reading around, I think you should. The more "cleaner" your phone can be, the less you'll have to worry about once you flash the new ROM
Hope this helps!
I am, as the video says, a complete noob when it comes to the droid os and all its capabilities. I just need to know some terminology. I've. Looked for a long time ( yes google) and I've only gotten mixed answers.
So:
1: what is s-on/s-off, and what devices does it apply to?
2: what information should I give, should I have a device question
3: anything else that you found useful when you started off?

So:
1: What is s-on/s-off, and what devices does it apply to?
*s-on/s-off is usually associated with htc devices but can be associated with other devices. As for what it is...s-off means security is off, and you can flash unsigned (custom) images to the phone
2: What information should i give, should i have a device question
*you will need to be able to provide your current rom that you are running, if any...sometimes your kernel/radio version...and what recovery you are using. (ie, if an htc, either amon ra or cwm)
3: Anything else that you found useful when you started off?
*this website!!! As obvious as this may be, there are tons of developers that are very willing to assist in any way. And trial and error!

Thanks for the info. I hope nore people post what they dound useful, as well. I have, as my siggy says an r800x, or xperia play, nearly straight out of the box. It's from verizon, and I remember reading somewhere that verizon does something to make it more difficult to root it, so I hope I can figure it out. I'm talking about it with another forummer so I may get it figured out.

Take a look at the Xperia Play forums, you will probably have better luck over there
Okay this may be redundant but let me try. I'm new to this site and new to the whole androids modding.I was thinking of buying the star x26i or the star note i9220 dpad. I'm really not sure where to start once I get phone. If I can't get the direction I think I can figure out the rest or at least search to get info. Any help will be appreciated.
Get started as in what exactly? Are you talking about rooting and custom roms?

I guess rooting would be 1st. I'm trying to get the 1st steps on what I need to do.
Root find the XDA phone forum you want and read their root guide .

The 1st step you do is definately root...

as I see you are interested in ROM development then here is a best resource on this site to help you on this subject

I know this is a modding community so the majority of answers are just going to say root root root! But in all honesty, if you are brand new to Android, get used to stock for a bit before you jump into modification. Spend your time reading about your specific device while you play with it and if people are happy with their devices rooted and the process isn't too intensive for you, then give it a shot.

Thanks for all the input. I was trying to be sure if there was a step by step process on what to do.I am fairly new to android phones and want to learn the ins and outs. I'm searching for a new phone now and it seems like the ones I like need something to be done to them before I can use them. So I was trying to be sure of the process before I screwed something up. I like the suggestion of learning the phone 1st which will probably lead me to a name brand phone.I'm currently with boost mobile so my options are limited. Once again thanks for the info.
1. Root
*unlock bootloder* optional
2. remove bloatware
3. read about custom roms
4. go crazy modding
Enjoy stock for a while, Oh and heres a tip, On the process of rooting, You can easily brick your phone.
Meaning Of Brick - It will no longer boot up; You have to replace it.
Well, actually I'm just looking
I googled "Rooted phone, what next?" and got several helpful sites and threads. Most of which lead back to XDA. Although I had a fairly clear goal in mind; I wanted ICS.

I got the x26i and I rooted it with Bin4ry it worked really well don't forget to install drivers.
Leave a thumbs up if I helped you.
Hey everyone. I just got this note pro today from Amazon. I've read about a lot of functionality you can get from rooting your device. The thing is I have no clue how to root a device. I've looked around the internet and to be quite honest I'm still not quite sure how to properly root the device. I was hoping someone could maybe point out or give me step by step instructions on how to root a device. Including making backups and the programs needed. I'm totally a noob in this and quite terrified of destroying a 685.00 dollar device. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to take the time out. The reason I'm rooting is because I want to get better battery life and be able to run any app in multiview mode. (Student who wants to go multiview with amazon ebooks and a note taking app)

I'm not sure which Internet your using.... you must not be looking very hard because your answer is in this very forum. In fact , there is a great big thread about it a few lines down. If after reading said thread you still have a question, I suggest asking IN that thread.
Every one here loves to help out, but you gotta put in at least a TINY bit of effort dude.
