http://www.droid-life.com/2010/12/2...feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+DroidLife+(droid+life)
anyone try it out yet?
yea it works fine, root still works. Blur is still blur but its a little smoother and profiles is a good addition.
Quite possibly the ugliest launcher I've ever seen.
cool. yeah i must have heard that a million times. so if you do a back up are you able to just flash back to it? or do you have to sbf?
Safe bet would be SBFing. I don't see why restoring a previous backup would mess it up, but it might bootloop you.
It doesn't change the kernel does it? That would be the only way you would seriously **** something up by restoring a backup.
Don't think I would drop GummyJAR ROM for this "new blur".
It does install a new kernel. I made a backup in clockwork, flashed this and have gone back to my backup without issue.
It doesn't look like it changes the baseband, anyone who has installed this have you checked your bootloader version and kernel version? Anyone been able to SBF back after installing this?
Droidlife tested the 2.3.20 sbf and said it does work. Personally I'm gonna stick with custom roms on mine, I'm not having any issues and I can't stand any version of blur and its lag.

Write permissions - better method to root?
How does one go about getting root to set RW on the app dir? I have Root Explorer installed and running as SU...but I can't change to rename some of the stupid stock .apks.
FYI - I used Tears of a 1000 Unicorns to gain root.
Thanks!

PS: This ROM, as is, plays Xvid backups of your public domain video files!
the last two days have been "rom trial days" ..i loaded the new gummy, really liked it, then, after reading about the 3.0, i loaded & tried it. it really has a few nice things about it...but, decided this morning to go back to fission,,,,which i did, and "lost" the 3.0 upgrade..
but, knowing these guys, we'll soon have both gummy & fission w/the 3.0 update, so, Thank You Gentlemen for all your hard work...and, hey, do you remember the days when you used a phone to talk with? Wheeeeeeeeeeee

I'll continue waiting for Team Defuse to tear this one apart. I tried dealing with Blur again the other day, and I just can't stand it. It likes batteries.
I have been trying it out for the past few days and it seems alot better. Much smoother, I like the new swype design, has a built in task manager, profiles, a few other little things and the battery life is really good. I still run launcher pro over the stock blur but even that seems to run better.

Haha, i got a kick out of this. Yea those days seem so long ago I can barely recall them.
On another note it looks like the kernel might have been update as its a slightly different number than the one on my phone. Anyone know if anything has changed for better or worse with it?
I have a question.....is this gingerbread?
Thx!

No. Its the v3.0 of the motorola blur firmware (you are likely running v2.3.20 right now) and its basically a modified version of the Froyo 2.2 Android. In your phone info you will System version and Android version. This is a system update, not an android update.

I got it to work somehow. I'm guessing the various insignificant attempts and reboots solved something. I like the ROM a lot after getting rid of the usual bloatware.
Thanks for your help....Merry Christmas!
has anyone tried this and then gone back to a saved backup?
Hi,
First off sorry for posting a new thread here but I don't have 10 posts yet so I can't reply in the appropriate place.
I just tried to root my transformer following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1106587
Everything appeared to work perfectly in ADB and I now have the modified CWM installed..... But I'm not rooted!
Tried to confirm I had root using the terminal and titanium, both failed. Tried downloading superuser... still no dice.
In case it's relevant I downgraded from 3.1. I also did a factory reset after following the guide since I was getting mad fc's (presumably from the downgrade)
Should I try repeating certain steps from the guide, or flashing a ROM? I'm kind of afraid to try anything ATM.
Anyway thanks in advance for any help.
Just flash prime 1.4 and you should be fine. Superuser fails to work after you wipe cause it requires extra binary files other than just the app which got erased when you wiped.

Cool I'll try that now thanks a bunch.
I'm getting my transformer tomorrow and I've been thinking about rooting my device...i rooted my g1 and my vibrant mostly to delete the bloatware...and install new Roms (of course)...but what are the benefits of rooting a wifi tablet..beside overclocking....
From my vibrant with bionix nextgen v2
Worked Perfectly!
Thanks again for the help, time to see what this thing can really do

custom themes, root only apps, better performance even without overclock. More tools.
I just picked up my Acer a500 the day before and am very pleased with the purchase. I rooted it within the first hour of unboxing which was a breeze but I cant find a good How To in reguards to installing CWM and a Rom.
I have had a DX since july of last year and have rooted it and installed dozens of roms, currently running CM4DX GB. But there was much more dev support for the phone than I can find for the Acer Tab so it's a bit intimidating. I'm currently on rooted 3.1
I was looking at lightspeed Rom and Richardtrips OC kernel, or perhaps Dexters Transformer Rom with richardtrips OC Kernel. Thing is i have no idea how to flash either of these, I've been reading non stop and i find myself mroe confused now than before i started researching lol.
Any help or a lead int he right direction would be great.

Tried most roms and kernals and the best for me is stock 3.1 If you like to hack and fixs problems go for it. Just read and do a full backup using cwm (clockworkmod). Download Acer recovery from the market, as it has thors backup stuff. With in you can do a full backup of your rom and install other roms its the tool to have. Have fun.

Thanks for the tip, while researching I have found most people say 3.1 is where it's at and seeing as how 3.2 is rolling out in certain places today I am not planning on upgrading until a root method is achieved on 3.2.
Can I say use stock 3.1 and richardtrips OC kernel? I also want to remove the fluff that came on it, would using Root Explorer to rename the unwanted apk's in system/app a good method or are there better options?
Install Acer recovery installer.Do a complete backup.store it in two or 3 different locations.
Any changes at all you make WILL Stop all future updates.so you will need to revert back in the future maybe
Good luck
Hello.
Im have a question for someone who has a rooted nexus s 4g.
I've been rooting since the motorola droid milestone so since then i rooted 3 android devices. (two year contract makes me suffer).
Anyway, i been waiting soo bad for ics and had my device rooted running unofficial ics roms so when it updated i flashed back to stock.
My phone sucks now so i want to root but i still want the basic ics theme so what would you recommend.
im thinking just root it and then flash a matrix kernal. or whatever kernal works best for most of you.
And.. when i root it does it install a custom rom or it just unlocks the one im using.
thanks in advance.
when you root the phone stays with it's current ROM,so no it will not flash a custom ROM for you,if the ics them is your only concern,there is many ROMs that keep this theme (check development section),and sure you can root and keep the stock ROM and flash any kernel you want.
Thanks for the help. Just what I was looking for. I'm going to reroot when I get out of work.
I'm going to do some more research because I love maths kid matrix but I might want to try air kernal. Maybe try slim ics.
Even though this device is older, some of us still must be using this device. I wanted to pass on that Cydia Impactor can allow Root on the SCH-i815 w/LP11 update. Stock recovery and all...
Didn't work for me. I got bugs not found.

Huh. Worked on mine, that's interesting.
Though on the second one I have, Framaroot also worked.

new - tab 7.7 i815 looking for roms and what to do..see below
Using the Samsung galaxy tab 7.7 or aka i815 to play around on, .. looking to learn how to root and install custom roms.. a learning tab for me. im new.
where im at... I used kingroot to root the tab, root check says im rooted with 4.0.4 (ice-cream sandwich) downloaded titanium back up.. yet not sure if that for backing up my system before playing with roms or just for adding/deleting and backing up certain apps.
all this was done using play store apps..
any advice would be great. where to go for step by step for this tab to get custom roms or maybe a better root if kingroot is not acceptable.
Thanks all.
