Hate to say this but my ROM modding days are over, well for the Raphael.
I would like to thank everyone that I have learned from and all the contributors to the forum. Thanks for all of your tools and answering my questions when I was a new at modding ROMs.
Also I would like to thank the users of my work. It is cool to develop something that so many people enjoyed.
And I would like to give a special thanks too all that made donations for the time it took me to create the modded ROMs. I did not get into this for money. When I first started I suggested to donate to XDA instead of myself in my sig. Once my phone had it's little accident I thought to change my sig to what it is currently. I was planning on changing it back to donate to XDA if I ever raised enough for a new phone.
Unfortunately I do not have enough and my phone is totally screwed now. Before I tried to repair my phone I attempted to create ROMs with the help of others testing but it took up way too much time. I managed to rig what was left of my phone together to get into a state where I could have used it for testing purposes. It has now gone competely haywired on me and will no longer run.
So thanks once again to everyone. I will still be lurking around and helping when I can.
Thank you for all your contributons. You will be missed!

Well lets see
Good luck.
Thanks for your great roms..
I always appreciated your work and you were one of the less that was able to cook without giving me the feeling the rom was crappy build. (yes, most rom cookers do create crap....)
If you ever buy a new phone, a raphael of something else, please inform us about it
I want to thank you for your efforts. I have been using your ROM for over a month now and its been great! Good luck to whatever you choose to do down the road
we hate to see you go. Our community will be losing a tremendous asset. If this is the last of you, many thanks and appreciation for all the blood sweat and tears.
If we get to see a triumphant return, then we'll see you live and fight another day.
thanks again, for all your hard work.
i figured there is someone on here that works for ATT that can hook him up.
Sorry to see you go mate, have had a couple of your OEM packages in my kitchen for a while
Always sad to see a Chef who has lost his frying pan...
Hopefully, we'll see you around here again soon.
You were the first ROM I tried, best ROM I tried. Your 5.4 build was absolutely amazing. I appreciate all your hard work, and you responded to every question that was asked, unlike some other cooks here. If you ever do come back, that would be one of the most triumphant returns I have ever seen.
Hey thanks for all the support guys. I will be back whenever I get a new phone. If it is a touch pro or whatever I will be back in the ROM modification game.
I recently went back to school and I have a tight budget so it is not so easy to drop another 400 bucks on a phone again. Maybe after my papers are done and finals I can find some extra work to get some extra cash.
I am still tweaking my 6.5 kitchen to be prepared if something comes along.
Thanks!

Just another "sorry to see you go" comment. You were super-helpful when I was using your ROM and kitchen, and a pleasure to be in touch with whenever I had a question. Here's hoping you get a new phone soon because 1) The community will miss you a lot and 2) Dude, you deserve to have a phone!
im sorry to see you go! I know personally you have been a big help for me in my endeavors. Raphael forums will miss you! Thanks for everything!

Glad to see your ROMs are doing so well!
When I am done with my last exam I will try to create some new 6.5 ROMs. Hope I can catch up to you guys
Definitely a great kitchen! I am going to try this out today. Does the batch file delete all the "useless" files to make the ROM fully stripped down? For instance, mvbarian's kitchen from Kaiser did this and it made it a "lite" version. I would like to do the same with this but I am new to the fuze/raphael. Once again, great job on your ROMs and kitchen.
Noob here. Not really understanding how to root my phone. I simply want to root it and then install the very best and stable FROYO software. I don't need a ROM as I like Touchwiz (I know, don't kill me).
Can someone, pls provide detailed chronological ordered instructions on how to ROOT, what I NEED after I root and then install FROYO.
Thank you

Did you read the General Sticky? I tried very hard to make that as clear as possible. Just download the file, rename it, put it not in a folder in sdcard/ and then go to stock recovery (with your phone off, press and hold both volume keys, press and hold power, release power at the Vibrant screen while still holding both volume keys) then click on apply update, reboot phone and you are rooted.

WOW! Such sarcasm. I don't really think that was necessary. And YES..... I did read the sticky.
sarcasm??? WTF, I was genuinely trying to help man.... if the sticky was not enough for you, you probably don't need to be rooting your phone because it doesn't get much simpler. Good luck, if you want help from others, try and not burn bridges. I tried.

@ OP: if your looking for stable as in, set it & forget it, do yourself a favor & wait... Seriously! One way I tell how a ROM is doing is read the first 2 post & last 2 pages. If you see the same issues being stated, dont flash, unless you are willing to deal with that problem.

He was just very patient and answered all my questions, and he's a very trustworthy guy. I bricked my phone about a month ago and have linux and couldn't use odin plus i was still a noob so seeing as my options were buy a new phone or say **** it and send it to him i sent my phone to him and he fixed it, added froyo and shipped it back. Plus he taught me a lot now i kno how to do a LOT now and no longer consider myself a "noob".
Thegreat520 should be a mod on here as he is by far the most helpful person i've ever come across online.

LOL I Thought the EXACT Same thing, because that sounds very fishy. Considering the time it took to ship there and back... like a week to 12 days at the very least? He must of had access to a STABLE version of Froyo before everyone else here on the board.
Yeah, to be clear I'm not trying to say anything negative. People helping people is ALWAYS a goo thing.

I have a question to you! Why did you root if you didn't know what you wanted to do afterwards? Rooting is not just so you can feel the "cool factor", and the vast majority of us know before we root why we want to do it, otherwise...................WHY do it???
Why did you bother? Your own answer should close this thread, and everything else you mentioned can be found by reading the forums!
No offense, but you shouldn't be rooting/flashing "roms" if you don't know what your doing.
It's very easy to end up with an unusable device.

Thx. I know that. I managed to get everything working i wanted ;-) and everyone has to start at one ponit, right. That's why I would not do it if I don't want to. I want to learn more about it so can you tell me a good thread or webside to start with?
Can anyone tell means about that rom pls.
I find your responses a bit harsh guys.. Are there laws / regulations on who can / should root, profile boxes that have to be ticked before one can decide to have a go at unleashing the full power of their phone?
Nobody was born with the knowledge, we all started from scratch at some stage. There are enough warnings that explain how to apply the root methods that are offered in the threads.

Ouch.......poor guy is new and gets slammed instantly for wondering what all he can do with his phone. I think we were all in the same boat not too long ago.
Yea, he may be a noob and not know the politics of posting before reading, but I bet each one of us did at one time too. What we should be doing is just politely pointing him in the right direction on how to learn more about all things root.
Such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=972423 being a good place to start.
Understand though, if you screw up your phone, there is no one to blame but yourself. Read how to recover from a soft brick and hard brick before jumping in. Read all posts VERY carefully and all the way through. That's how I learned, and many others before me. And first and foremost, before asking questions about anything, do a quick search of the treads to see if it has already been asked and answered before. If you don't find your question, feel free to ask and ignore those that troll the treads.
Good luck my man.

I am running Gingerblur which is very similar. I think it is a great ROM and one of the few so far for the Atrix. If you like some of the Blur stuff such as the gallery and social networking items, you have to understand that you will be losing them with the new ROM and going with the stock Android gallery. However, if you do a backup of your current ROM before flashing, you can always revert back if you don't like it.
Big thing, screen shots help for me. And the ROM developers do a great job at giving the details of their ROMs in their posts or websites.

I agree, we all have to learn, but the vast majority of us started by reading through threads which have all the info about how to flash sbf's, root, sideload, flash themes, what is and is not possible, etc. We then tried things by following the instructions.
I'm not, and was not, trying to be a ****. I am however very blunt! Everything the OP needs is already there if he/she looks. The forums are full of "repeat" threads because people are basically too lazy to read and research for themselves before asking what has already been asked numerous times.

However, it's an exercise in futility. Most people here don't want the logical/simple that requires a bit of work on their part. They want the complex/convoluted that requires effort on the part of everyone but them :-/

I'm not as experienced in android as you are mate. I was asking if theoretically its possible. If you don't have anything useful to say regarding my question, please move along. And keep your wit to yourself.
1) I did say something 'useful' which was proportionate to the question.
2) No.
Thanks for playing.
Edit to add - Again, think for a moment. Different phone. Will require different firmware/framework; I.E SGS2 roms will not run on the SGS3, of course the camera apk for the S3 won't work on the S2. Do you see anyone on here running the camera apk from the Nexus on their S2 ?
As we've said, a few moments of logical thinking could have negated the need for this pointless thread.

See, now was that too hard? Thanks for explaining. I've learnt a thing or two from you.
I read about porting ROMs and was under the impression that the same applies for .apk
This wasn't pointless. At least for me.
No, it wasn't hard. And that's exactly the point several people have tried to illustrate for you, but it has gone way over your head. You just don't get it.
Now then, that's it for me. You're beginning to drag me down to your level & I know I've got no chance Vs your experience (some people reading this will understand where I'm coming from).

Hi all,
I am very fresh to this forum. Even though I got my account created in 2006 on this website I never used it.
All over the internet and the forums people mention about rooting the phones. I never really cared about rooting my phone out of the fear of bricking it. So I always put that option away. Now its serious time to learn it, as I am understanding the real benefits of it.
I own a Samsung Galaxy Note LTE SGH -i717D which is from the carrier Telus in Canada. How do I start of with rooting on this device? What is the latest version of Android available for this device for rooting? Are the custom ROMS really flawless?
Somebody please kindly help me get rid of the starting trouble I have.
Thanks all.

This has got to be the easiest method of rooting. It's what I've used on a few different phones and has never failed me!
Custom roms vary in stability. If they are based on source code they are going to be more stable than others. They will say "built from official source". Other roms can be just as stable depending on the developer and how much effort was put into the rom. You have to read the threads on the roms to compare issues if any, then pick the one you want to try.
The best advice I can give you is before you install or flash anything you verify it's for your device, and read the instructions at LEAST twice!
Welcome to xda ... I suggest you first read the xda rules. This is the general forum. Not for questions. There is a Q &A forum to ask questions in ... After searching.
That said ... Super everything thread is for you.

That link works basically for all i717's but the OP has a Canadian Note and it requires another step.

Whoa, that's freakin bizarre that it does an auto reinstall of the stock recovery. very creative.
Wow, Thanks to everybody who got involved. I didn't know that I had this many replies, I just got a notification for the first reply. Thanks a lot.

Hi all,
I am very fresh to this forum. Even though I got my account created in 2006 on this website I never used it.
All over the internet and the forums people mention about rooting the phones. I never really cared about rooting my phone out of the fear of bricking it. So I always put that option away. Now its serious time to learn it, as I am understanding the real benefits of it.
I own a Samsung Galaxy Note LTE SGH -i717D which is from the carrier Telus in Canada. How do I start of with rooting on this device? What is the latest version of Android available for this device for rooting? Are the custom ROMS really flawless?
Somebody please kindly help me get rid of the starting trouble I have.
Thanks all.

Admin, my intention isn't to hijack this thread. But I thought I'd ask prior to starting a new thread since I having the same concern, and before I get flamed. Please let me know which approach would be suitable to ask more questions while staying on topic.
I've been researching and reading tons of information everywhere. However I reached the conclusion that the more I read the more confusing it became. Whenever I thought I was ready to take the plunge, It's so overwhelming even figuring out what's current or what's outdated methods and files needed - I simply can't catch up without direct assistance.
OP: Thanks so much for starting this thread. For me, being a long time Android OS lover, yet entirely newbie when it comes to rooting jargons - I couldn't have said it any better - you took the words right out of my mouth!!!... The only tiny difference is that I have the SGH -i717R (Rogers).

Hi Lousk,
I know its really hard for a newbie to even think of where to start when it comes to rooting, because there are tons of information on rooting all over the internet and moreover confusion too. I learned it the hard way and I am glad to say now that I came out with flying colors. As with each official update, my device was getting totally sluggish, non responsive and out of all very little battery life. I couldn't stand this at all, one evening I sat on the internet, took the whole night before starting to do on anything with my device.
I didn't install any custom roms, but I rooted it which in turn helped me turn off a lot of services running in the background and also uninstall all the Samsung bloats, mainly the touchwiz. That thing is really resource hungry. Now my device is working at lightning speed and I have a feeling that it wont be obsolete in another 10 years.
I have all the files and also the instructions on rooting on my drive, unfortunately XDA is not allowing me to paste the link over here unless I have made 10 posts. They say it is just to prevent spams. If you are willing to give me your email id I can sent the link to you.
Go ahead and root your device to get the full potential of your unit.
Good luck,
Sumesh
