I know this isn't the direction this particular thread is going but can someone suggest what programs to remove that will help make the phone perform better? I can't seem to get good battery life off of this phone its being charged once a day and sometimes twice. This phone does see heavy text use and online use like facebook and games. I have installed SetCPU I have it set to performance full speed and when the screen is off the speed is set to 245mhz. I've disabled the Genius button and Dragon Dictation but this thing still drains like mad.

From what I've seen so far, the best battery saver you can do for your phone is to turn off "background data" under the "account and sync" section. However, it might disable automatic syncing and what not, but with that setting off, I have about 80% battery life remaining by the end of the day .

i have EXCELLENT battery life with the Mytouch Q. I do have Auto sync turned off as well. So maybe this is what helps me. But i charge my phone once every 23 hours or so. And thats with moderate internet use and heavy talk/texting.

http://www.mediafire.com/?o9k8d2ret7ovld6 <~ for blackdragn thats the system/app folder .

Im not sure if anyone knows this or not i know i just found out lol we can take screenshots by holding the power button then pressing the home button right after. took a few tries to get the timing down hope that helps some1

Thanks for the screenshotting tip, did not know that. Anyone know of a way to boot into the bootloader? Volume up + Power shows the LG logo and goes blank until you release it, I'm sure there are some other combinations out there, I'm trying some of the common ones right now.

ive got a system/app backup ..it might be missing a 1 or 2 files though. But what its missing is not needed. Let me know if u need it.

Mindstate I sent you a PM.. I am in need of your system/app backup as well

sorry for the question... I downloaded mindstates system/app restore now how do i get it to load those files? ie do i drop them into titanium backup folder or where?

First off, I would like to thank mindstate very much for the backup copy. For all those that grabbed a copy of his backup, please remember to thank him for taking the time to upload his backup set for us. I have been able to successfully fix my phone. For those who are trying to reinstall software that they have removed, I'm going to write a quick guide for you here.

1. Make sure you have root access. The instructions for rooting is the first post on the first page. Just a quick summary for those that might have missed it, root it by using superclick 2.2. However, before using superclick 2.2, you much run the following adb commands with the phone connected in usb development mode.

C:\adb> adb shell
$ echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
$ exit

2. Secondly, download root explorer and check the mount rw mode box at the top.

3. All the bloatware software is located in the system/app section. Copy all the files that you need (or you are missing) from your sd card to the system/app folder (include the apk and the odex files).

4. EDIT: You can skip this step!!! After that, click each apk file that you installed to reinstall it. Please note it will say that install was not successful. (I'm not sure if this step is needed or not, but I just did it like this and it worked. Please let me know if you tested it and that we can skip this step so I can update this post).

5. Finally, long click each file that you copied into your system/app folder and click on permission. The only things that should be checked is the following : owner read, owner write, group read, other read.

6. Restart the phone and you hopefully should be golden.

If you have any problems, please post and I'll do my best to help you.

The "background data" is probably the biggest battery drain I've ever seen. I've seen it improve battery life by at least double. So please note, it is a really huge battery saver. I don't even need to use "juice defender" or any of those crap battery saver programs. I just only turned off the "background data." This is valid for any android phone at all.

And I'm making a list of those files that can be removed safely so far without affecting the stability of the phone.

As for the other bloatware programs, I'm planning to freeze it using titanium backup so that I don't run into the issue of my phone having reboot issues and whatnot.

i noticed my phones battery life also succed after i rooted it. i just downloaded the battery calibration app from the market and recalibrated mine it has seemed to help out alot

My myTouch Q will be coming in today and I was wondering about the whole rooting process. Did the newest version of Super One Click Root fix the whole process or do I still have to do the adb thing before I attempt root.

Also finding out how to boot into bootloader will be great. We can find out if we have S-OFF or S-ON (I assume S-OFF since we can delete things in system/app freely). Usually, you can boot into bootloader by powering down and then turning it on via power and back arrow. Maybe use one of those reboot apps and tell it to reboot into bootloader.
