Android phones, apps and tablets

That's a bit awesome.

What are the numbers in the bottom right for?

Looks like a percentage, battery?

Figured they were battery or signal.

Maybe they're the battery.

The annoying thing, there doesn't seem to really be a way to save location etc... and theme/widgets. I'd have to use titanium to do it.

Oh dear...

dare I ask ?

maybe a daft question, but...now my phone has been rommed (sp?etc) is it easy to download and install another?

Yes, as the first few steps of unlocking and getting a recovery tool in place have been done.

There's always pain though. As in... I bet you forget to backup and save your images or some file before you do it.

very very easy. Do you know what recovery software they have put on it ?

Probably ClockworkMod (CWM)

1. Optional, Titanium backup Apps+User Data
   
2. Basically, find a rom for your phone on XDA Developers.
   
3. Download it, put it on the SD card (via USB xfer, whatever).
   
4. Reboot into CWM
   
5. Hit Factory Reset
   
6. Select Flash ZIP
   
7. Find the Zip file with the rom
   
8. After flash, wipe all Cache's
   
9. Reboot
   
   

Enjoy

thanks kirth

The 1st time is often the most painful. You've done all the leg work and have a custom bootloader etc, so can probably download away, do a nandroid and titanium back up and flash away. If it's a newer version of the same ROM you might get away without wiping everything.

S3 was a piece of piss thanks to Odin being leaked

Samsung phones are well easy to do.

should have done it at five:31 for added awesomeness

He's got clockwork mod. I did it for him.

On my galaxy s2 the battery green symbol flashes constantly as if its always charging, it loses power quickly. It wont turn off and restarts if I turn it off. Gather from internet its to do with the pin hole for the charger. Anyone know how to fix this?

Off, then on?

Or, do mega backups, then ask th world.

Thanks snottyotter
I think I sorted it by taking the battery out. Digging around the bit of metal inside the charging hole with a pin making in more central and removing loads of crud.
So far so good. I suspect dodgy dirty chargers may have been responsible. Next plan is to use some white spirit to clean all the exposed metal bits around the charger and phone.
(Eventually got this solution dredging through loads of crap Internet so called samsung support forums)

Dropped my One-X on the sweet spot last week, digitiser is cracked to bits, FML.

Anyone know any knowledge and cheap places to get it repaired? I've tried all the phone guys round New Cross and they didn't exactly fill me with confidence.

What is a digitiser?

The glass screen basically.

done the same.
nowhere is 'cheap'
dodgy iranian wants £110-135
HTC (from forums) want ~£150
some pleace on Kensington way would do it for £100.

I decided to cut my losses, ebay it (not done it yet) and buy a Nexus 4.

Shiiiiiiit. Almost tempted to try it myself...or see if someone will do it for labour and OHP if I supply the replacement glass and digitiser (£15-20). I've only had it since the summer, expensive mistake.

do it yourself. I did it on my desire when I smashed the display on that, only takes about half an hour with a decent guide and the right tools.

This is the place in Kensington. Not cheap, but their work is good. Yes, I have used them.
