Howdy,
I am new to rooting but did some research before pulling the trigger.
I followed the instructions located at droid life. I would post a URL but since I am new I cant.
But I have been stuck at the Z4 MOD screen with the rotating circle for about 20 mins now. Help please....
Sometimes a reboot and try again does the trick.

Just let it go until it stops spinning (took me about 20-25 minutes) pull the battery, reboot, try again. It will be almost instant the second time
If you still don't have any luck, make sure to go into settings-->Applications--> development--> USB debugging. Make sure that usb debugging box is checked.
If that still doesn't help, try putting the phone into AIrplane mode and then try running z4root.

When I did it to mine I was also in airplane mode. You might want to try that
Ok thanks for the help. I waited about 40 mins and then closed the program and rebooted the phone. It took only 30 seconds and it was done..
So now that I have that done I loaded liberty 1.5
I also downloaded adw launcher as I heard it was pretty good.
My problem now is I cannot get it to set up my two other email accounts (hotmail and another ) like I had before. I also cannot get it to link some of my existing contacts to my facebook contacts (basically double contacts)
What am I doing wrong?

Ok so I deleted adw launcher and went back to the liberty controls. Doing that allowed me to join contacts into one. So one problem solved.
But I still cannot get my emails to work. I enter in all the info and I get this message : "unable to open connection to server"
Also I cannot find the original messaging widget that I had on the phone before. It basically was a large widget that had a preview of my text messages.
My email widget is missing as well...
Thanks for your help
When you installed liberty, you removed all of the stock apps aka blur apps. Liberty uses all aosp apps which do not haves the blur elements. This may explain why you can't do the email and it is why you don't have the messaging widget. If you still want the messaging widget I recommend you try gosms or hancent
Handcent is the way to go for sure. And honestly you should get a gmail account. It just makes sense if you use a Droid. Plus go into liberty tool box - addons and you can put back some of the blur stuff. I recommended the blur camera because the stock liberty camcorder doesn't support hd. Good luck!

Thanks. I do have a GMail account but do not do much emailing with it.
I will check out handcent.
Next question is my facebook widget is not keeping updated like it should. On the main widget screen you can scroll through new posts from all of your friends but for some reason it is not updating them. If I click on the widget it loads my facebook and everything is recent.
Any ideas?
Hmm not sure I don't use the Facebook widget. I use the twidroyd widget instead. I had the same problem but it got fixed when the app had a new update. Are other people having that problem? Might be the app. Try seesmic I hear they added Facebook support. He's the guy that made ping.FM so you know it's decent. Maybe check your app update settings and make sure its getting content.

After I turn the phone on in the morning it goes to that "dos like" screen where you can backup and restore, update, etc etc. It says clockwork mod recovery on the bottom. I usually click the first option and the phone resets and loads fine.
What is going on?
Also I would like a clock widget similar to the stock digital one. I like how the stock one would change weather forecasts when I changed citys.

The dos-like screen is a hikacked recovery for the X. It may seem like a hassle to always have to tell the phone to boot normally, but the one time that it bricks or has issues, then this recovery console will.be q blessing.

You could make a nandroid back up once a month or however often you make major changes to your system.

Hi, I haven't found thread about it so...
every time i reboot my legend (with stable cm7 and gapps) i'm missing of facebook's account. but... when i try to create one, i can't (after click to add account, i get redirected to main screen with all accounts). I found solution to that (clear cache in apps manager), however, i don't want to do it every single time i reboot my phone. could anyone give me a solution ? thanks a lot.
First, please make sure that the facebook app is not installed on your SD card.
Okay i moved it to internal memory. So it should help, right?
Sent from my Legend using XDA App
Well, you're the only one who can test that. Please try to post in the correct subforum in future.
I had the same problem after moving to CM7. I think it's caused because facebook and all the other apps are installed right after the first start but before installing and setup the gmail app. Do you have the gmail app installed?
Deinstall and install again the facebook app helped me.
PS: the official Twitter app had the same problem in my case.
I have installed all the apps like gmail etc. Moved to.phone's memory helped.

Hi all,
I hope this is the right place. I've recently flashed GingerBlur on 4.1.83 (great rom by the way) but I've run into a small issue. The old Motorola contact widget doesn't work anymore and I can't find a suitable free replacement.
This is very inconvenient for me. I like to keep all frequently used contacts on one home screen and have the Facebook photos displayed with the ability to call or txt from the widget. Can any of you think of a way I can accomplish this via a marketplace widget, or a way to get my old moto contact widget back?
Thanks a ton folks. Also I'm a complete n00b.

Hi all,
Loving the phone and for all who are still waiting for it due to shortages, keep at it, you won't regret it....
loving the phone and happy to use Blinkfeed for news stories (fb and twitter not so good on it)... But I can't figure out for the life of me figure out how to get it to pull data for my home location. I have set up London as my home and refuse to leave location services on all the time (battery drain and all that).... So why is it so hard to get Blinkfeed to tell me the weather in my home location? Should be a no brained but it's bugging me no end and I refuse to give in any activate gps all day long when I seldom use it... Please help

This happened to me as well.. It wouldn't say London but it still wouldn't show the weather icon next to the clock above Blinkfeed. What worked for me was, I had to turn on mobile data, turn on GPS and then go back into weather and it should get your current location.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Thanks for the reply. I tried that and still nothing... This is so annoying man. It may be some other hidden setting in my phone, I don't know... All I know is that the thing should allow you to choose your weather location instead of muck around with gps and all that!

Hi.
I work in London and live in Bromley and I've seen no problems with the widget reflecting my 'current' location.
The only thing I remember doing is removing all other hard coded locations in the widget except my current location. I've also got all location services switched on (Not GPS) because I like the features available with this.
Only had the phone two days so hard to assess the potential drain on battery with location services, but based on an overnight charge and having used the phone on the train to browse, read email etc I'm currently at %79 charge after 7.5 hours..... certainly better than my S2.

tbh the effect of leaving GPS on all day is probably negligible - ive never turned it off on any phone ive had that had the feature :s
The crazy thing is that I can separately grab the clock and weather widget which is identical to the Blinkfeed header and it asks my location and I complete it and done... That works fine!... I just can't tell the same thing to the Blinkfeed widget! Crazy!

Yup got the same issue. Just says my location, not the city I'm in. Tried with all location service on and GPS, wifi etc. When I refresh it says "unable to connect to location service". Could be software issue?

Glad u am not alone on this problem. Have tried loads of things, but still no weather for my city and it says data not available....
Maybe there are others out rather, but I think there must be a setting otherwise everyone would have suffered this issue.
Any new help or suggestions out there would be appreciated.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
Have you guys tried enabling/disabling mock locations in the development section on the settings?
Also if my guess is right based on "unable to connect to location service" it could be that your internet provider is block the port used by the weather widget. Have you guys tried using WIFI instead?
You have to have location services switched on. You dont need GPS switched on but you do need location services switched on.
Have you checked the sync settings for HTC Weather? I have mine set to auto update every few hours, you might need that on too.
I had this issue and everything was switched on. All you need to do to fix the issue is go into the clock app and select you location. Worked for me. Took 30 Seconds to update.

When you say your location, you mean home location? My home location is set but still no luck. Every time I go in to the clock app, it default to the time zone, which is London, Dublin.

Yep, I tried it all, with wifi and mobile data also. I also tried the location setup on the clock.... Still no fix.
Remember, I added the separate HTC clock and weather widget on another desktop screen.. That worked fine with my location. The clock and weather at the top of Blinkfeed are identical, just the weather still shows no data

I havn't got my phone with me at the minute to check. But it was in the clock app. I think I also deleted all the time zones and reset my location. My clock widget was also fine when the blinkfeed app wasn't. I will be able to check at lunch.
I rebooted mines into recovery then wipe cache and restarted then my location changed to where I live

You have to be on the Facebook messenger app and go to setting and activate the messenger app as you regular message, now if you want to have the chat head, either way for a person to send you a message or, in message app hold down a pop up will appear and press on "pop out chat head"

I found that the chat head only appears if i leave my "home screen". my girlfriend sent me a message and nothing happened until I opened the browser or any other app. When i did that the chat head floated on to the edge of the screen. If i leave the app it dissapears!? I have tested with Nova Prime, SSlauncher, Buzz launcher and the stock TouchWiz launcher. The same thing happens.
Very strange.
A quick restart after update and checking it in settings (of the messenger app) might work out.
It doesn't work if you have your status bar hidden or apps that go into full screen.

An account issue
So I've identified it as a Facebook account issue. Chat Heads doesn't on my phone with my account, but when I logged in with a friends account chat heads worked fine.
Such a bummer... when I logged out of their account and logged back into mine the functionality was locked again and chat heads is no where to be found as long as I use my account.
Tried using the re-signed APK versions of Katana, Orca, and Home from Paul at MoDaCo. Got home to work, but chat heads wasnt available...so I uninstalled. Home is...well...meh.
Really wanted chat heads, guess i'll just wait for a fix i guess...
