[Q] Samdung Galaxy S (and my options)

Hello, I am in need of a little help. I am a complete noob to android and have no idea really how the system works. I have a Samsung Galaxy S and have decided to root my phone for 2 reasons.. ap2sd and so I can install the lag fix. I have done a bit of reading and chosen the path I wish to take but would like some assurance and pointers. I am also unsure of: If I root my phone does this automatically mean that with a properly partitioned sd card that I can store apps 2 sd or do I still need to flash the handset with a new ROM and if so there I am stuck... I do not know where to begin with searching for the best ROM for me. Also I would like to know if after i've done this will the handset still be able to receive the official updates or will I just need to keep updating it myself!
Here is the rundown as far as i have got so far...
Samsung Galaxy S I9000/XXJF3 Updated!
All the programs for XP i need are downloaded (eg.net3.5/4, samsung drivers)
The root method I thought was best for me was that of TGA_Gunman
The lag fix I had chosen is by Chainfire
I have still to back up the original ROM with ClockWorkMod (Is this easy to do and if I need to use it will it bring me completely back to my original settings for warranty purposes, or is there other things I would need to do?)
Also could someone provide me with a link to the best noob proof SD partitioning method!!
Is there anything I'm missing here, or anything that could be done a better way!! Any and all pointers will be much appreciated....
P.s. I would be wanting to update to the official froyo update when it's available will this cause me problems and if so what must I do!
Thanks in advance

I don't know much about the galaxy s, but you might be better off asking this in the Galaxy S forum.

Cant root milestone.

Hey everyone just got a milestone from COX Communications, Great phone so far. But im trying everything i can through RSD and i cant get it to work keeps saying its failing. Anyone have ideas as to what could be wrong?

Why do you need rsdlite to root phone? You can get many apps from market for this purpose.

To root Milestone, you can install Universal Androot. it is an one-click root app.

But don't I need vulnerable recovery installed to get open recovery and install custom roms? Title probably should have been worded differently.

Yes you do, although you should be creating a thread in the General section, or look there, a lot of people have the same questions you do.

First step into the custom ROM world
I believe besides rooting somewhere down the road you would also want to try custom ROMs.
If that's the case, here's the solution for you. Most of us use this method.

I don't mean to be mean or anything, but as of now, the motorola milestone is kind of low-end compared to devices like the samsung galaxy s2. The motorola milestone has a 550mhz processor, with 256mb ram, while devices like the samsung galaxy s 2 has 1.2GHz dual core processor with 1G+ of DDR1 ram (I'm pretty sure its ddr1, and similar devices such as the atrix are also very high-end but not as great as the samsung galaxy s 2) Don't get me wrong, there are a large variety of roms available for the milestone, and updates being made time to time.
On topic: you will have to install GOT 2.2.1 update with Vulnerability exploit already injected then root from Open Recovery, but I heard that Universal Android Root or somrthing like that also works. Good luck

I don't understand why some people can't just read the first few forum topics... It's literally right there... a whole guide that explains everything...

[Q] Best way to root Liquid Mini

Hi. I'm new in hacking devices. My phone is an Acer Liquid Mini with Android 2.2 Froyo and I have some questions:
1. What is the best way to root my device?
2. What is the best ROM that I can find? I want one that can ugrade the OS to 2.3. There is an official update, already?
If it is possible, provide me links with the best tutorials to do that.
3. If something goes wrong, it is reversible?
Thanks for all the answers and sorry about my english.

Got all your answers!

Hey,
1. The best way would be to use "Super One Click". If you want to know the version I used 1.7 for my liquid mini.
2. Yes there was an official upgrade in October I think. I just got it updated an hour ago and I am on top of the world feels like the first time I got this phone, it looks totally new and no acer UI (thank god) but the new UI in place of the old one looks really awesome. Worth the upgrade. Just go to System>Update phone; and make sure you have atleast 410mb free on your SD.It gets upgraded to 2.3.5.
3. While rooting it won't screw up, it never does. (very rarely unless you act smart and remove your battery during the process) Its very safe nowadays to root.
Hope that helped.

[Q] So I want to unlock my bootloader...but?

So Ive rooted my Atrix4g, and I want to unlock my bootloader.
I understand the plus of doing this, and realize I cant turn back once this is done.
So I know this has been beat to death but...
Will I regret doing this?
Assuming I want a ICS Rom I have notice that they all have some slight bugs reported. Do I wait for the official Rom to be deployed or do you think all the bugs will be worked out by the time it is released.
Also when it is released will it be able to be flashed.
All these Questions are for a noob to the Atrix.
Any and all discussions will help.
Please don't try to convice me just some input of your experience.
ie* your favorite rom, things you wish was better... why you unlocked the bootloader. ect...

first of all- I DO NOT OWN AN ATRIX, BUT I HAVE EXPERIENCE ON MY EVO.
i say unlock for the best experience. some of the main worries can be easily fixed.
worried about warranty? you can always put it back to stock
worried about problems? rarely if you find the right guide and follow it will you have any trouble, and there are plenty of helpful people and tools to help fix it.
regarding the ICS rom- most roms at this stage for phones that have ICS ports are for the most part stable. just go through the Atrix development forum and find a few to try, and if you need to backup your data i recommend mybackup root.
hope this helps, I wanted to make sure you have some sort of reply.

You can do sone flashing i guess. use uncle google . or use thr search button for inquiries

actually, probably the best thing to do would be to post this in the Atrix Q&A forum, where youll get the best answers.

Announcement , I will drop the support for LG G7

At first hi to all of you , you might know me I made twrp and the first root and patched stuff to be able to run AOSP , so but lately I came to the conclusion that the g7 is just not a good device for devs , so I unrooted installed stock and relocked my boot loader.
From this point of time any given support for the device by me will be ended and never picked up again.
Im sry but if u like the device and want rom etc you need to do it yourself now

Hi, so sad to read this, but thanks for your great work. Can i ask you why you stop with this awesome phone? What is the main problem?

Sorry to hear those news, J0SH1X. Same question as kimo9hero, what did lead to the decision of yours? (If you allow us asking

@J0SH1X thanks for all your work, but I think we're naive if we consider any recent LG phone "developer friendly" since all their latest models were lacking support even from the company (very late updates).

Guys there is hope that we'll see modding and roms for our g7?

I don't think so, without at least one enthusiastic dev it's not possible. There are no resources so any potential dev have to figure everything out by himself, constantly risking to brick an expensive device. Luckily, the stock 10f rom works real well and the hardware is superb. One just risk living without some typical root utilities.
I would be happy for some dev picking it up, but I don't count on it.
