Go to settings and clear storage. Once the phone reboots and it is about to update remove battery to shut down phone. Place battery back in and reboot. Should have all the crap removed.

Or instead of possibly frying your device by taking the battery out you could just soft reset when the customize in 3 seconds screen appears. This sounds alot safer then pulling the battery out when the phone is trying to customize itself doesn't it....
Noobs answering noobs questions.... easy way to get a messed up device.

Or, you could try Rotohammer's new Rom..

yes, there is no need to post this garbage in this thread. If your not going to help then simply ignore them. Ignoring them will either force them to find the info on their own or move to a new home like hofo. n00b bashing does nothing but clutter the board with useless junk.

Suggestion Thread

Suggestion Thread​
Thought it was about time we had a thread that you can make suggestions on how to improve the Droid forums or anything you feel needs changing in the Forums.
And Please no Stupid or Imposable suggestions
Thanks Guys
Lufc

Oh. BTW, Can you sticky the IRC Chat thread and the EE4 How To Root thread. Meant to mention that in my letter and forgot.

Ok people Lets break this down. LUFC has no power to change the site, how it works, the search engines, the way it looks, the name of it, etc etc. He can however, lock, unlock threads. Move threads. Change other's post to remove profanity, sexual content, derogatory statements ....... He can also ban and unban people from the Droid Charge forum. If you have any other questions, Let me know. I'll get with him offline. He has 4 forums to Mod and doesn't need to be bombarded with stuff like, "Can you Change my siggy size?" No he cannot. So don't ask for stuff that changes XDA website as a whole. If it does not pertain to the Droid Charge forum, or if you are questionable if its a question for LUFC. ASK ME FIRST. I'm very easy person to get along with and always willing to help.

I agree w/ Dragonstalker. we need more stickys. the basics, like booting to recovery, using odin, cwm etc. things that appear in too many threads.

I agree more stickies, a lot of import things that have been explained get pushed to the bottom and then people ask again.
Also, I do not know if you have the authority to do that but make a roms section. Keep Dev for fixes and tweaks. If that can be done i'd say a help section too. I do suspect you can't and it is admin set. I say this because if it's something enough people want in this forum then we can contact the admin
other than that keep up the good work mod

Here are my requests that I've felt are really needed.
Unlock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122657
That is hands down the best and easiest guide to follow and without it I would not have been able to root/ROM/lagfix my Charge, there was really no need for it to be locked in the first place.
Sticky: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1144885
Awesome mod, haven't encountered any problems with it at all. Just a simple reboot into CWM and install .zip from SD card and it's finished!

Thanks for the suggestions and the impossable ones
Just one point on the stickys if we stuck everything that was of importance we would have the first page full of stickys so what we do is to have a Roll up Sticky Thread and this has been kindly done by nitsuj17 HERE
Called
{List} Roms/Kernels/Mods/Themes 7.10.11
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and because all the info is in that page and a link to them it should be your first point of call if you need something.
But if you do see anything that needs adding to the roll up thread then please do get in contact.
And just to Answer knyghtryda Question he Suggested the Mod for the camera shutter to be a sticky but as you can see in the Roll Up Thred it was already stuck but thanks for the suggestion knyghtryda
And scarygood536 suggested A separate area for ROMS but XDA will not allow this but the roll up thread is broken down into sections and all the roms are listed in once place thanks scarygood536

sticky titles
I am kinda new here, but it took me awhile to figure out what nitsuji's sticky was all about. It would be good to maby change the title a little to say that it contains "how too's" in it so the newbies like myself can go there first to find answers! just a thought!
P.s. I love this site!

Still going to request that the linked thread gets an unlock :] There was really no need for it to be locked in the first place.

It's Locked because the instructions are already there. The only thing the post by others have done in that thread is cause confusion to those that are new and take away from the OP.

I think we need automated spell checking... haha j/k.

It would be nice to sticky a request thread or something of that nature. If there even is one. That way some people can put in there input about stuff to add to roms and other tweaks that developers could try and work on. I think this would be a lot easier than having a hundred random threads with requests on them.

I meant for more general stuff that will work with all roms and not just one specific rom. As in if no one made the camera app where you could take a picture with the power button some one could have put in the request in this thread.

Any chance on a FAQ subsection in the Development section? Might make it a little more clear as to where questions go. I see them posted in Development all the time

Not really much you can put in the dev section as far as FAQ's. Dev section is only for devs. If people are posting questions in there, which i can't do anything about. Its just because they are not looking in the General section and reading welcome message.

I understand you don't want to clutter the front page but that's a nice collection of all the dialer codes confirmed to work for the Charge. Really useful, IMO.

NVFLASH for B80

Why is the developer not seeking help with the new nvflash? I am sure some of us could help with reverse engineering. I, for one, have been a programmer for 30 years and have created a number of apks for the android based os.
A better question mightt be why is there only one dev helping with this little problem? is there a gitlib for some to look at? Why did ASUs slip him/her the newest nvflash? Maybe we are not geting the whole story?

[Q] OK I have rooted my tablet, now what?

I have rooted finally my Samsung galaxy Note 10.1 (8010) purely as I will be getting a new one shortly and wanted to see A) how easy it was to do and B) remove much of the bloatware so beloved by Samsung. I have installed Xposed and Gravity box.
Primarily I would like to remove the default clock from the lockscreen.
So it looks like this instead.
(seemingly I cannot post links yet.)
Is this possible?
Any other mod advice also welcome.

A) how easy it was to do
sorry, I don't understand your question, may u provide more information about this?
B) remove much of the bloatware so beloved by Samsung
U can simply use any apps such as Titanium Backup/CC cleaner to uninstall those "junk" apps by Samsung.

To get to your original question: that really depends on your needs. For some reliant on specific applications (banking/government/work apps) custom ROMs or even unlocking the bootloader are in some cases (not all!) a no-go. In the development section you've undoubtedly seen an overwhelming amount of selections to choose from. I usually browse the ones on top as those still have an active userbase going on. If the OP (Original Poster) is still part of the conversation, that's a major plus! Then I first read the first post (also called OP - Original Post) of the ones that seem interesting. As you'll get more acquainted with ROM development groups, you'll develop a personal preference towards some of them. My personal preference used to be Resurrection Remix; I really loved that scene. But for aforementioned reason I'm sticking with stock (and some Magisk module tweaking) for now. It's imperative to read the last few pages of a ROM thread, like this you may detect if there are any ongoing known problems (3rd party camera apps not working, quirky bluetooth, FP reader broken, etc.). Time is key here. Taking some time to delve into the topic can avoid a lot of frustrations. I suggest at least a few hours of research before making the jump. Good luck on your ROM quest!
