What is ADB? ADB stands for the android debugging bridge and is used for testing and debugging purposes by developers. However, we like to get more out of our devices, and its a great way to fix things. Knowing adb can mean the difference between a paperweight and a working phone. So, to start with, we will look at installing ADB. Generally speaking, the Sun/Oracle JDK is required to run all SDK functions. ADB is but one tool in the SDK arsenal. So, we begin by downloading and installing the Standard Edition of JDK. This can be found here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html Choose your OS, download and install. I recomme…

This is a flashable zip file using CWM or TWRP. Works only with Lastest build of CM10.2 by Quarx2K and other Custom Roms based on it. (Tested with MokeeOS 4.3.1) It will overclock following things. CPU > 1300MHz GPU > 266MHz Governor > ONDEMAND and few CPU tweaks. This mod will help you to increase screen responsiveness , removes some lags along with a better battery life compared with stock values. *Keep In Mind - i am not responsible for any kind of damage to your device or dead phones. - However Me and Gizmolord Community will help you to solve your problems. - We never laugh at people who got in troubles, like other peopls laugh on other forums.

I have a Pantech Burst that i recently rooted. I have downloaded a font changer and once i installed it , i saw my phone stucking up on at&t screen and the sound when it boots goes half way, basically half the song plays then stops, the one that plays on startup. It does not start up at all. I can get into S/W Mode and Recovery Mode but when i try to wipe it or clear it all out , it does not help out at all. Same Problem. Also since i have no way to put it into USB DEBUGGING i cannot use fastboot and flash it into recovery anymore. Is there any other way , please i just need my phone to work because i cannot go back to my dreaded basic phone! Any help would be apprec…

Hey guys i have a pantech burst...its rooted and super user and rom manager is installed currently and i have also unlocked the bootloader already. My problem is whenever i try to back up my rom I keep getting an error...every time.....i even tried Titanium (free) and it also came up with this error..this is the original rom....stock ics...and i dont want to proceed with changing the rom unless i get it backed up for the obvious reason that another error may be lurking beyond this point. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue? I probably should mention that after having the issue i deleted rom manager and installed cwm 5.xx.... via comm prompt and still got this err…

Alot of you, Defy(+) users have been trying different ROMs lately. And most of you have been getting errors while going back to your previous GB ROMs from the current Quarx JB ROMs, so I have shared some steps to follow so that you do not face any such issues. Follow these steps: In CM10-2nd boot: >Bootmenu/tools/system tools/format data and cache to ext3. >Recovery/install zip from sdcard. >Reboot and press vol down when blue notification light blinks and go to recovery stable or custom. >Recovery/wipe data factory reset ...advanced/wipe dalvik cache. REBOOT and it should work fine.

Hi All I have come across few forums and found there is a facility that will help to increase your Virtual Memory of your device. It is known as Swap. Can anyone provide a better idea for this IDEA phone. This has been successful with Xperia. I am not a programmer therefore I could not understand the technical part, but I truely believe if this process is successful on this phone, it will be a breather for all users.

PHONE MUST BE ROOTED IF ALL OF THIS IS JUST GIBBERISH TO YOU THAN DON'T DO ANY OF THIS!!! This is a simple little tweak that will increase loading speeds and in most cases fixes all scroll lag. There are 2 methods of doing this. Use method 2 only if the 1st one didnt work for you. METHOD 1: Create a simple text file with note pad and write the following code: #!/system/bin/sh if [ -e /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb ] then /system/xbin/echo "XXXX" > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb; fi; NOTE: WHERE "XXXX" put you desired cache size in KB... E.G. 128 or 256 or 512 or 1024 or 2048 Next save it as anything WITHOUT a file exte…

// Just sharing from other sources. I am a newbie in android modding. So if u find anything wrong then please correct them in your comments. // Android is an Operating system which is based on Linux. And in Linux, there is something called root access. You'll get superuser access by rooting your Android device (whether its a phone or a tablet). With root access you'll have a complete control over your phone's operating system like you can install great system apps (e.g the backup tools which are available to root users only). You'll have the chance to install custom Android ROMs. In other words, when you have root access, you can use your phone as a hardware shell so t…
