View 11 RepliesI recently rooted my phone. That went fine, I got the fancy # prompt without too much trouble. So I installed ROM Manager and got the ClockworkMod Recovery img. When I hit reboot into recovery from ROM Manager it booted to the LG boot screen and wouldn't go anywhere past that. I freaked thinking I was bricked. I left my phone alone for like 4 or so hours and it was fine thankfully. So I pretty much stayed away from fancy stuff like that for the past week.
Then this new firmware update comes out.
My question is... If i install the new OTA update will I lose my root access? I've read about situations where people lose their root then gain it back, I'm just curious if this is the path I will have to follow.
I have a backup of my stock ROM with root access and I'm not running any custom ROMs.
Hi. I am brand new to the android world. I just got an LG Ally. I am wondering how the memory works whenever you install an app. I have noticed that it goes onto the phone's internal memory. When i take a picture or video that gets saved onto the SD card. I dont have many apps and it seems like the internal memory is already starting to fill up. What happens when this happens? Will it rollover to the '" card or will i just get a "memory full" kind of message? I would rather have more memory for apps than for pics and videoany info is greatly appreciated.

But this was released after velocity .3 (and I think raptor .1) came out so if you re-flash back to those you'll be without. When I re-flashed to velocity .3 my phone never got the silent upgrade, or at least not for a few days. I struggled for awhile to install the .apk manually so I figured I would write up how I did it.

There seem to be a few distinct ways to go about doing this. I've summarized them here:
Using terminal -
Note: My phone has issues mounting the file system from adb so I used a combination of adb and terminal. The terminal instructions are copied from Savox website and will create a backup of the old Vending.apk in /sdcard/archive. Android Ally
- Download the Vending.apk file here: MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service
- Copy the New Vending.apk to a location on your sd card (I put it in the root section of the SD card because its less typing). I renamed it to Vending.apk, but you can name it whatever you would like.
From terminal:
- su
- mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
- mkdir /sdcard/archive
- cp /system/app/Vending.apk /sdcard/archive
- rm /system/app/Vending.apk
From ADB (I'm pretty certain you absolutely have to do this step):
- adb uninstall com.android.vending
From terminal:
- busybox install /sdcard/Vending.apk /system/app
Using Astro -
- Install ASTRO File Manager - ASTRO File Manager - Android app on AppBrain
- Open Astro and navigate to the Vending.apk app, select it.
- Select "Upgrade"
- Done
Using tAttachApkInstaller -
- Install tAttachApkInstaller - tAttachApkInstaller - Android app on AppBrain
- Download the apk to your computer and email it to yourself
- Open the email on your phone, and hit preview this should start tAttachApkInstaller
- Done
shortly after rooting and installing velocity on my bros phone he said that he could no longer download apps, and come to find out applications say that i have no internet connection even though i can browse the web and make and recieve phone calls and messages.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm new to this rooting phone thing, but i was able to root and custom rom my phone. I got the velocity rom running and its great but i miss some of the old LG apps, like the digital alarm clock and the rings that came with it. I tried the appbrain app and i get errors or freezes when i try to look at the LG apps, so what do i do? Can someone give me a hint or a thread i can read?

My LG Ally is stuck at the "VELOCITY" boot screen and is stuck in a loop. I had Velocity 0.3 flashed yesterday and I decided to re-flash today. I have tried wiping data/files/cache/dalvik cache. I'm stuck and I don't know what to do. Also I never did a Nandroid backup (because I'm slow).

View 1 Replies View RelatedI figured out how to full flash the LG Ally 740 to cricket but 3 out of every 5 phones I flash do not save the NV settings. When I go to manual programming (##program740 send) then select DATA. The MIP & DUN MIP settings always revert back to the default 0000000000@vzw3g.com settings. I've changed them in LGNPST,CDMA Workshop & QPST but still reverts back to VZW. It's rooted and tried several different ROM's to fix the problem. Could it be the kernel? If anyone can help, please let me know.

do you think it would work for the Ally?
Some of my games like Homerun Battle 3D and Backbreaker Football aren't running as good as they should be. In fact, They're laggin a lot. Does anyone know a way to make the LG Ally less laggy?

Kind of frustrating. So if there were a way to remove those shortcuts through terminal or modifying files that would be great

View 2 Replies View RelatedBefore applying the Turbo4 ROM, I ran Linpack to get a base number so I can compare it with the number I get after I apply Turbo4. I got a 4.188. The phone is rooted with many of the stock apps removed running the Zeam Launcher, but no other custom ROMS.
Is that a pretty good number to start with? It was higher than I was expecting because most linpack scores i've read about are in the 3's.
Another n00b needing some tips/assistance... I spent hours the other night trying to figure out just how to flash my LG Ally to Cricket, to no avail. I've never flashed anything to anything before, so I'm trying to understand the whole process at the same time. There's a lot of vague info on the forums about doing this on the Ally, but nothing clear, yet. I rooted my phone (thanks to amoamare's AllyRR) and tried using 3 programs to gain access to changing PRLs, etc: CDMA Workshop, LGNPST, and QPST. None of them could correctly identify my phone (and yes, I had USB debugging on). It seems to me LG has added a layer of protection to prevent using these tools. My guess is that those of you out there who know how to code (I'm not included) can use ADB Shell or something else to modify PRLs, etc. on a rooted phone.

So, my question is, what would cause my low score and if you guys wouldn't mind. go ahead n post up YOUR Quadrant scores.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI use my Ally mainly as phone/email device and do just about 10 mins of browsing web a day. Under this kind of usage, battery level goes to about 50% after 12hrs from unplugging the charger. With some more browsing, it can get down to 33% easily in 12 hours. I guess it will be dead by 18 hours this way. I wonder how you guys batteries are doing compared to mine. I wish it lasts a bit longer than this.
