Hi,
Does anyone know if there's going to be any development happening for the Rugby Smart? I have read that currently it's not even rootable, which is a big deal for me.
I currently have the Captivate and am looking at getting a new phone at the end of the summer, and I really like the whole rugged thing the Smart has going for it, but being able to put custom ROM's on there is a bigger deal.
Samsung Rugby Smart is rootable. Read this - http://androidforums.com/rugby-smar...30-tutorial-how-root-samsung-rugby-smart.html
I already have done some mods on my phone and it's workig fine.

All right guys, i have searched for this topic with zero to absolutely ridiculous results. Money wise im not so up for it. but is it worth the update knowing that a new iphone is coming out, pushing Samsung for a SGS4 perhaps? i want to know what you guys think. share your thoughts with me.
Thanks in advance
Your search came back with zero because we dont allow vs. threads. If you want the phone, go but it. If you dont, then dont. If you want to talk about the GSIII then post in the GSIII forum.

Hi,
Looking for a bit of advice. Wanna give my old i5500 to my mother cos she's been looking at smart phones but is still a bit tentative about making the move over from her old nokia brick
Phones currently rooted and running cm 7 but was wondering if anyones come across a simple rom out there that'll give her a basic smartphone setup to start with or even a few app that mite be useful either.
I have searched this forum with no luck, so I'm asking for input. I have, and love a Galaxy s2 Skyrocket that was customized and is now a T989. Over the 3 years I've owned it, it has worked flawlessly on T-Mobile 4g. I would like to upgrade the OS. I have also purchased a factory unlock for the phone over a year ago, but never used it. Below is ther content of what I am running. My question is, or should I say are, what phone do I own, and how would you upgrade its operating system? Would you factory unlock it? I don't want a new phone as this one is a perfect size. I do appreciate any help, and if I missed where this was posted on this site, I apologize.

If this is too cpmplicated, I get it. Your time is important but I had to ask as I couldn't figure it out, and I'm pretty techy otherwise.

Just find a rom you like and install. Make sure you update the radio(http://goo.im/devs/Void_Dweller/T769-UVMB1_modem.zip) - that's for JB and newer roms for use with Tmo.
If I posted this in the wrong forum, please mods put it in the right area as I'm still a newbie on posting around here...i read more than anything.
I want to know where is development with Kyocera XTRM/Life. The price point for the LIFE is at 49.00 right now new in box at MetroPCS. I like a cheap waterproof rugged phone. But I don't want to get it if all I can do is root it. Understand, I'm being like that because essentially who wants to be stuck on the old OS, you know? XTRM is stuck on 4.1.2 with no updates and support ended while Life probably and doubtfully will ever get past 4.3.
I'm willing to sacrifice either model to figure out the bootloading unlock, but simply put, is it worth it? This phone would be my daily driver.
Just looking for general opinions. I had a Galaxy S5 when originally getting the Gear S. At my last phone upgrade, I opted for the HTC One M9 which I am *loving* so far. I'd really like to use the 2 together, but my head goes absolutely spinning when trying to muddle thru the 50+ page thread with a couple of different instruction sets. Scared to death I'll brick the thing following something that ends up being wrong or outdated with newer FW revs.
Am I making it out to be worse than actual? Is there a set of simplified step by step to get it done? I have never owned an HTC before and had it successfully backed up and rooted day 1 with the kind folks here at XDA. Hoping for the same here. Thx in advance!
