Heyy everyone, I was just wondering if anyone can help me with my phone? I got it a couple of days ago and I want to root it, and possibly update it with jellybean when its stable enough. I just need to know how to back up my phone and how to root it.
Cheers
I used galaxys2root.com

Hello forums. I'm sure I'm not the only one with the problem and I've spent some time looking but no avail in finding a solution. (most likely because I'm unfamiliar with the forums) So getting to the point.
I rooted my Samsung Galaxy SII LTE (rogers) using superoneclick. After rebooting my phone I've noticed a LOT of lag when it comes to scrolling through pages, using/loading apps, and even using the back, home, and search "buttons" on the front. Is there a solution to this? I would greatly appreciate the help.
I've never used one click root but rooting shouldn't cause lag like that. I would personally just flash a new rom rather than go through all the trouble to track down the cause. Do you have clockwork installed yet?

Yeah root does not cause that . You should freeze your bloatware, and try a custom rom like red sonja

Haven't done anything after the root. I originally rooted it so I can hook up my sixaxis controller to it but after hearing what else you can do with your phone I think I'm going to follow that route instead. All I want to do right now is get rid of the stock apps that I don't need, get the sixaxis working on the phone (I've read the Cyanogenmod kernal can do that for me)
But I'd be more then happy to test out new roms from time to time, so first thing is first. What is the easier way to go about Backing up my entire phone so I can restore it to that state?
Haven't installed clockwork yet. What does it do and how do I install it? I'll try and find the links on my own when I have some time but I'm just heading out to work soon (horay for double time and a half) or you could be a trooper and help a noob out.
Edit: So I've figured out what clockwork is and its asking me which phone I'm using, doesn't list my phone there so I just want to make sure choosing the tmobile samsung galaxy sII is alright despite having a rogers SSG S2 LTE

I tried freezing some but I've already managed to freeze something that causes my apps to force close whenever I open it. Is there a list of the bloatware that I can safely freeze or delete?
I'll be looking into which rom I will go with first but for now I'm going to read up about it before I do anything else. Don't want to brick my phone a week into buying it.
Could you post me a link to the red sonja rom with the instructions on how to install / flash it.
Here is a list of what you can freeze http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1341558

Thanks for the links =)
Just one question, if I I've had enough of red sonja in the background of my apps and everywhere else is there a way I can remove the comic book theme on the phone while keeping the rom working?
You can replace the apps with the stock apps. Using root explorer.

Thanks for the quick replies!
So after trying the ice cream sandwich I think it's alright and now I'm off to take sonja out for a ride. If I backup the current rom play around with lovely lady in red would I be able to just switch between roms after backing them up?
If you boot into cwm. Click backup/restore and backup your current setup then flash red sonja. And do the same think. You can go back into cwm and restore your nandroid backups anytime you want. Just remember to wipe first. But yeah you can switch back and forth and it will take you to exactly how you were set up in each backup
Currently running the skyfall rom. Just curious as I havent seen anything yet... is there a way to put S-ON and flash back to the HTC Stock ROM? I'm just thinking in case I must send back.
+1 I have to take mine back today to exchange because of a faulty power button...

Anybody?
Hey guys. I'm new to the Android community and I have this AT&T One X that was running a 4.1.1 stock ROM, until I flashed it to Cyanogenmod 10.2 specifically wanted to use the hotspot function which I couldn't use in the stock ROM. Now that I'm on the CM, I miss the Beats audio feature along with the stock camera app and lock screen. I came across a ROM named Liberty, but it's unclear whether or not it supports hotspot and I searched through pages of it and looking for a Q&A, but no results.
In conclusion, I'm looking for a custom ROM that runs on Sense for it's camera app, Beats audio drivers, quite possibly a nice weather lock screen, and also supports hotspot without being under AT&T's contract. Anything else with those will be a given.
Any version of the OS and Sense will do as long as it's stable. Thanks in advance.
I personally like the version included in 5.18. Ruu

Does it support the hotspot feature without being under AT&T's data contract? I looked at this update at my very first attempt of updating/custom ROM's but it wasn't clear.
Sorry. I don't know. I can't remember

Well..if your phone is rooted ., I don't see an issue with the hot spot

It is rooted, but every time I tried turning on the hotspot, the same block pop-up would show up. I looked at different forums and they just use apps to bypass the carrier block but never worked for me even with my phone being rooted... That or custom ROMs which actually work for me, but don't fit all my needs.
Fastboot getvar all please
At&t ROMs deliberately break the hotshot feature. You need to use a non at&t ROM.

Can anyone please tell me how stable the latest MIUI rom is? I kinda want to try using it again. Last time I used that rom was when the TMobile G2 came out.. But just wanted something new again and I dont wanna just flash it for nothing and back. Thanks.

Perhaps read through the Miui rom thread? Starting at the back and see what people are talking about? Or better yet.... Flash it and see. That's the XDA way my friend. ?

Take a nandroid backup and flash it. Don't like it, restore the backup.
What one person says is stable another may say is a mess.
You be the judge.
Or a place to get it? I can't get odin to let me install 4.4... Anyone have advice? I'm thinking a nandroid backup has a good chance of working
Depending on the version of Android you're currently on you can only go so far back in versions. It would help to mention what version your phone is currently. Chances are you can't go back to any kk release of Android.

If you are unaware of this you should probably research before getting to just flash things. Just...common sense. Especially since I'm guessing you aren't trying to create a paperweight.

It really is a paperweight sometimes anyways... Theres a short in the board somewhere that causes it to not charge at random times... Thats besides the point though.. I'm on 6.0 (CM13)
