Just got everything working finally. Now its taking FOREVER to send a text message. Even with 4 bars and 4G. Once I type it and hit send it just hangs there sending. i tried sending an SMS to my own number to see how long it would take and it took over 5 mins. Not sure whats going on. I tried this with both stock messaging and GO SMS. Same results.

Did you wipe data in the factory recovery?

will root access allow me to change the quick launch buttons on the bottom. i really don't like the messaging app and would prefer to have my email on the bottom quick launch.

You don't need root to do that. Try using any of launcher programs available in the market.

Personally I use launcher pro plus. Go launcher and ADW are also popular.

Flash Duration?

Any idea how long it typically takes to do either the blaze-root-kernel.tar (6+ MB) flash or the SGH-T769-UVLB7-hitsquad.tar (602+ MB) recovery flash?

btw: I couldn't find any previously logged info. regarding expected flash times.

should be less than 30 seconds for it

Thanks, I was wondering how long I need to wait for these to finish in case it doesn't finish really quickly.

Reliability of Flash

I know this Kernel is pretty new to being rooted. I am interested to hear if most who have tried had good results?

Flashed using this ROM.

Used Titanium Backup to remove some bloat (I did my research!).

But now I cannot make or receive calls. Any idea what is happening?

EDIT: performed a factory reset... which didn't help, but after switching Network Mode to "GSM only" I can use the phone again... is this normal?

shabbypenguin · May 11, 2012

this isnt a rom. it is just a rooted kernel, there are 7 pages of people thanking and saying things worked great.

I bet you ten bucks you removed something you should not have.

I only really have a guess as to why switching your phone to gsm only enabled it to work, but that should have nothing to do with disabling apps. But, as far as I'm aware, you would have no reason to ever mess with the network mode so.........

BTW, removing whatever apps you did, won't make your phone perform faster so your motivation was probably wrong from the beginning.

Also, I'd bet another 10 bucks you don't have a clear understanding of what factory reset really does. I'm mentioning this because I'd bet that 10 bucks that you think it's a get out of jail free card.

It's not. (would be nice though!)

I think you just made yourself 30 bucks...

Yes, I admit I know nothing about what I am doing and this is my first time ever doing this. I have never owned an Android device before, this is my first one and I just got it this week.

Also, I have since switched my phone's network mode back to Auto mode, and everything works as it should... so I suppose I was just unlucky with my timing in regards to network reliability on the night that I performed the root process.

Live and learn!

Hi so i installed this and then a build although it failed so i had to stock flash it back to get it working again. When i go to the downloader it says i have 8 custom firmwares installed, i know that. But is that bad?

It said it was successful, but the bloatwares are still on the phone? Did I do something wrong?

Yes. What you did wrong is think that putting in this kernel was going to remove those applications.

I mean that in the nicest possible way. Really, I do.

The only thing that has changed now, is you now have the ability to use applications that require "super-user" access. You can, for example, load titanium backup or a similar application, and it can remove or freeze applications that you consider "bloatware".

Other examples would be that you can run applications that circumvent connectivity limitations imposed in the phone. In my example, I wanted to use a ps3 controller to play emulated games. Rooting the phone, allowed it to work.

I hate to break this to you, but the stuff on the phone that you don't want, such as tmobiletv, mobilelife, gamecentral, or whatever.......they don't slow your phone down. Removing them won't make your phone faster.

If I could only give you one piece of advice, is that before you do anything requiring super-user permissions, please do yourself a favor and know what you are doing, in advance.

Thanks for the information. I just want the bloatware off. I don't see the need of them. But thank you again.
