I downloaded the free version of ROM manager expecting a lot of new neat things. After exploring things such as the free roms, i eventually paid for the app. When i look to download roms from the premium selection there are non to be downloaded. i see the same free roms as before. Im not sure whats going on but i wanted to get the better "paid" roms like cyanogen otherwise i wasted money purchasing the app.

Well, you might have wasted your money for two reasons..
1. There is no official build for Cyanogen on the atrix (meaning it is not supported officially by someone on the Cyanogen team (website)) but we do have a pre-beta build that is supported by quit-a-few developers from XDA. The Atrix Developers Team
2. ROM manager is just "easier" (somewhat) to install ROMS but you can get all the same ROMS listed here on XDA for free just by navigating to the website on your phone, download, then boot into CWM and flash.
I don't believe in buying an app if I can do it myself unless, it offers some very useful tools.
I believe the only thing that the paid version gets you - is the ability to initiate backups from the app itself and to install/update the superuser.apk. There may be one or two other things im forgetting - as far as ROMS - there are no "paid" ROMS.... at least none I know of.... including CyanogenMod
then i must say i feel like i want to pursue a refund from my carrier. i didnt get anything from buying the app, so i must have gotten ripped off.

anyone working on a stock gb or asop rom for this device?
I use go launcher and it is a lot better than the samsung touchwiz default launcher. the other samsung touchwiz items do not bother me
That actually has nothing to do with what the thread was created for.
Give it time, people will start to develop for this phone as time passes
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA
I doubt anyone will bother with AOSP GB, most people seem to be waiting to do ICS roms, which is what this device should have come with anyway.
Most will be waiting to dev ics? That's honestly the most bs answer I've ever received on this site in my life. That's like saying they are going to develop yellow snow in hell but waiting for it to snow....

Assume what you will, but if I were a developer and I had any inkling that an OS update was on the horizon for the phone I'm using, I'd probably opt to not develop for an OS that will be obsolete, since it's likely that no one would even use the ROM once ICS is out.
In other words, if I were a developer, I'd wait for ICS too.

Rom devs need source code to work from.
Alot of what you see going on right now is piddly because without source code, not much can be done (based on my limited understanding of how this all works).
Not to discount the one or two roms out there now, its a good start but Samsung needs to give up the goods.

The problem with this statement is you say "update on the horizon" when it is in fact a ways away..

I honestly wish someone would put out a cm7 version for our notes to gives us something better than stock at least until ics comes out, not saying that saurom and tpc aren't nice and trust me I'm pretty happy with saurom rom in my note, but coming from my htc hd2 that had dozens of roms to choose from , and coming from cm9 before I got my note , kinda leaves me hoping for just a bit more rom developing that we have at the moment, if I didnt work 50+ hours a week and had kids to take care of I would take a crack at my own rom but just don't have the time for that level of development.
To be honest, this is my first time experience with fake phone. But the first time I look, i thought it was real.
So, my friend bought Samsung Galaxy S III in china. She bought with a very cheap price, about $200. I thougt she can get that very low price because pass tax or black market. I already suspicious when im setting that phone, and i found many chinese app with chinese write, and cannot be uninstall. So i just disable it. I thought it using chinese firmware. Its menu on setting also different from other S3. There is no S-Voice on this phone. When im trying to connect with Samsung Kies, it not Detected.
And when im open the backlid, it surprised me. Here's the picture :

China really good at cloning something. IMPOSIBRU !!
And my friend give me authorities to do whatever with this phone, because she cant use skype and some apps. She still dont know yet that this phone is fake.
And my question is :
It is possible to change its ROM to a custom ROM ? Maybe use Rom that using same kernel?
If theres no possibilites, I will put my hands up and give this back to her, and laugh.
I guess the phone will have different hardware, kernel etc., hence it will be dangerous to try a I9300 rom on it. Give it a try if you don't care that it becomes a brick, otherwise don't do it

you'd most probably brick it. it's like trying to flash a honda pilot dashboard firmware onto a bmw 5 series dashboard firmware. different hardware and software. (even if it's both android, it's hardware wont allow it to work.

Hi All,
I've been doing ROMs in other devices, but I've been working lately for a new music startup called Yonder Music.
However; something interesting happened with out deal with HTC, they shipped all of the devices with S-OFF.
So these devices come with an unlimited music streaming app also, and S-OFF devices for development. So have fun if you buy one.
Thanks in Advance.

Yonder Music has the Desire 610, s-off and unlimited music available for $269.
If you don't know, Yonder Music sells prebundled phones with the Yonder App that gives you unlimited streaming.
I couldn't find a 610 forum, so this was the closest one.

- Edited as post has been put in the right section. -
Also, still not sure where you're seeing that the phone is S-OFF.

It would be nice if your company would create a LITE version or DEMO version of the app that way they could decide if that kind of investment is right for them. I just ordered an HTC Desire 610 from AT&T for $0.00 I just had to renew my 2 year contract. So you should consider making the app widely available for other HTC Android users as a paid app or something of the sort. I wouldnt want to fork over that kind of cash for a phone that is unlocked with a proprietary music app that i may not like. I can unlock my own phone with a click or two I know how to flash my own roms and how to modify kernels also. Please release a trial or something so people will have a chance to try before they buy.
Am I right? XDA members would you like to try before you buy??? I bet so.
Both links are now unavailable, but the amazon listing does in fact say "The HTC Desire 610 from Yonder ships S-OFF to Flash custom ROMs and comes with an easy to unlock bootloader."
I would like to see a screenshot of the bootloader, and I am not sure if even in the right developers hands, having an S-OFF device would help them make a tool to allow everyone to S-OFF?

This appears legit and there is also a post on Verizon's website with a question from a user running it.

Sure looks like a copy of the Sprint G3 info screen that's been photoshopped. Also, its really unnecessary to start a vague new thread to call attention to yourself when we have threads on this topic.
I like the Goonies reference.
Nope
That Google+ is my original post. It is in no way altered or photoshopped. As mentioned in my post there may be a reason behind the OTA update. If you'd like more proof to verify please let me know, I'd be happy to oblige..
Contact a developer....you might be able to pull a factory image
@Technical12, follow the steps at the end of the first post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/reference-stock-img-files-t2966958 and send the files over.
Downloading ABD and I'll attempt to pull the image. Wish me luck...I'm not well versed in this.

Nice. I have been pestering Verizon literally every day for two weeks asking when they are going to finish adding their bloatware, supercookies, and spyware and push the update. Finally today they banned me from all their twitter accounts. :highfive:
Read the comments. People are confirming they got the update. This pleases me greatly!

Just wish someone would pull their system so we can confirm it. Been on CM12 but wanted all stock features back. Really missing the trusted devices feature.
In case anyone is wondering the guy got a replacement phone which downloaded the update when he turned on the phone. He said he is going to try to pull the system image tomorrow morning.

InB4 people start loosing root and the ability to bump then start whining like a bunch of little gurlz.
#justsayin
I've got my popcorn ready for this upcoming sh*t storm of ill advised LP upgrades People need to practice patience. Updates are usually a bad thing.
But yet...people will take that OTA...seek out that OTA (that they previously had blocked)...and then complain about root being broken and not being able to revert back. Should be a good show :good:
I guess it is starting a slow leak out.... LG Support tool shows that I have an update when I first start the tool app, and then quickly flashes back to "your software is up to date".
I don't think anybody needs to worry about losing root just yet. Other than here, I haven't seen any news about a Verizon G3 update. I'd take this thread with a huge grain of salt.
Well as long as revert is possible were good,! Will see though ,this could be the update that stops that
We see this with every update on every device. People jump to take the OTA, then are mad at manufacture and carrier because they are unable to root or unlock bootloader. Rollback may not be possible with LP update. Look at the Note 3 (where I came from), once you took the 4.4.2 OTA, you were beat for rollback. Chainfire said awhile back how complicated root will be with LP. I will wait for the devs to deliver a pre rooted rom before I ever take an OTA.
LISTEN TO THE WARNINGS IF YOU WANT/NEED ROOT!
My software is official. I'm just not versed in pulling images. And as easy as most say it is I'm not able to do it. If someone would provide some help I could have the image up in an hour.

Restoring app data from Titanium Backup messes up the WiFi/Cellular data usage recorded for each app.

Didn't intend to double post, for some buggy reason, the XDA website kept giving me a "This Website is Not Available" error message the first 5 times I tried creating the thread. Went into my account stat details after first 5 attempts and didn't see anything new. 6th attempt it finally worked and then all the other 5 showed up.
Either way, XDA really should give an option to delete threads you created, especially for this reason. Not sure why such a basic function is missing in this forum.
I sold JRummy Apps in 2017 to Maple Media. I highly doubt they are doing anything fishy here, but they did add tons of ad SDKs. I hate what they have done with the apps and sadly I wish I never sold to them. I don't recommend using any apps published under JRummy Apps, not because I think they are doing anything malicious, but I think they're business practices are abhorrent. They don't care about the end-user. This is why we should always try to support (financially) indie-app developers and OSS, they have the user's interest in mind whereas companies like Maple Media could care less about you.

Maple media guys approached me as well to buy my App portfolio, thankfully at that time, i got connected with @jrummy16 and he advised me against selling to them. Probably the best decision i ever made.
I can personally vouch for @jrummy16, he is one of the most trustworthy app developers i know. However I can't say the same for Maple media whose only aim is to make money of off end user. I would rather have my small tribe of users than sell my apps to a money hungry conglomerate. I am hoping jrummy16 can come back to the app scene. Jared and koush are among the highest quality indie developers out there.
