finally managed to root my sensation xl. htc's are a pain in the ASS to root.
would be running a jellybean rom that i found, but it has no wifi or data and doesnt even have project butter, what the fuck would be the point.

edit: found an epic solution, for anyone who is willing to unlock the bootloader first.

step two; follow instructions.
step two and a half; spend half an hour trying to find a recover image that is actually compatible.
step three;succeed and root your phone the good ol' fashioned way, but using about a tenth of the cmd commands. zerg-rush automated root is boring ு_ு

That's all you have to do for S-OFF. Be careful though because this isn't radio S-OFF.

Either way, HTC needs to make S-ON Unlocked much less painful, and make it so that it doesn't void known hardware issues. Shit like antenna disconnection and the like should be covered under warranty, but bringing in a phone that was obviously overclocked to destruction or had a blown speaker should require full payment for repairs to maintain warranty.

I've been using Swype for ages and it works fine. But the "official" Swype is way better than the swype from keyboards like TouchPal or shit like that.

Firefox is my main browser on my tablet, Opera Mini is on my Gingerbread phone. I prefer Firefox over Chrome/(stock JB/ICS browser) because the bookmark handling is nicer and it doesn't lack features. The speed of ff is just fine.

[Hunt3r.j2]

Firefox Beta is fast. Much faster.

Shit HTC, get yourself together.

One Xs are now obsolete. :v:

Same PoS SoC, 1gb RAM still, stupid red lights.

[iCole]

That battery and a 64GB model should've been included in the original One X launch.

[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;37878064]I definitely recommend Opera, I really wish they'd make their UI more standard though[/QUOTE]
Out of all the browsers I have test (all of them) I still maintain that Opera is the best for everyday use. It's also fucking amazing on mobile data due to optional inbuilt magic compression that reduces the amount of data required to load pages

I dunno what kind of websites you are browsing, but even after 2 days, when I open Chrome, I still have all my tabs even though I browse picture-heavy websites a lot.

[garychencool]

My tabs break every second on the stock...

Jesus Fucking Christ, that can't even be real.

samsung attracts ugly

I have the i777 and want to know if there are any decent kernels for it. I have the CyanogenMod kernel from the RC build released a month ago, but I've lost 20% in the past 5 hours doing nothing. Better battery stats shows its all kernel wake locks, over 1/4 of what should be sleep or deep sleep was the OS/kernel wasting power. I live in the Midwest and my signal isn't very good, but but this is worse than usual.

It's pretty much all under deleted wake locks Btw, so it doesn't help much

for some reason it's samsung that gets most shit though

[iCole]

Maybe because the Samsung Galaxy lineup is really popular = more people doing things for it = increased chance of horrors.
