And the Galaxy Young's are pretty decent phones actually, I nearly grabbed one off gumtree the other day for £25 but it turned out to be a Galaxy Y. I've just got a Galaxy Ace which is less powerful, but it's rooted and updated to Jelly Bean via an unofficial ROM, and it works a treat..

Gotta love xda :thumbup:

I'm on a Galaxy Ace, it runs like a bag of shit before and since rooting it! Not looking at a new phone until next year so it could be worth my while starting from scratch to sort it?*

If you're just looking to get your phone to speed up, give SD Maid a go, and maybe even Smart RAM Booster.

But if you're looking to install a new rom (operating system) then firstly do a back up of all your stuff. Then download and install Rom Manager and then flash ClockworkMod Recovery within the app itself. This will then give you the option to boot into recovery mode and install new roms from the sd card.

The rom I'm currently running is the first link in the second post from this thread. There's also an update for it which you'd have to install after the rom, but it's the same process. You'll see the update just a few lines under the link to the rom. It's basically Jelly Bean 4.2, although 4.3 for the ace is out there too, but that particular rom runs like a dream on my ace.

If you fancy trying out a new rom, then I'll help you through the rest of the steps and post some more links, but if you get ROM manager installed and flashed with Clockwork Recovery, then you're halfway there already. The rest of it is just booting into recovery, deleting a few things and then installing the rom and the update.

But if I were you, I'd give SD Maid a go first :thumbup:

Doesn't work on my Mac, sadly. It's an older PowerPC with the AMD chipset. I might be able to do it if I used another OS but it's too much fucking about. Can't believe they try & make you fork out for an Airport card when you've spent a fortune on the fucking computer.
It is unbelievable how much phones have come on.... won't be long before they are everything you need to carry about.... keys to your gaff, money etc. I'm happy with my Galaxy Young... cheap & cheerful but i'm not into spending shit loads of cash on fucking telephones.

I generally steer clear of macs, so I can't help ya there. But I have found one tethering app that has let me hook my phone to everything I've plugged it onto so far, without the need for desktop software, and it's this one. I'm probably teaching you to suck eggs here, but the phone needs to be rooted and you'd need to install it via your phone's sd card.

My daughter has her Galaxy 4 linked to our Netflix (as well as her laptop) so she watches that for free. She uses the Kindle app on it too. Also, she's used the sat nav on it a few times - there's a pedestrian one as well as one for driving purposes. And as she's a gad about, she's used it to locate particular buildings where she's arranged to meet people in other cities.

I think it's nifty. She's tried to persuade me to get one, but is very scathing at my stupidity for not automatically knowing how to use the features, and I'm not sure if I can be bothered. I only started using t'internet for the 1st time about 4ish years ago. Tend to dodge technology.

I saw some of the maps from one of the later iphone models a few weeks ago.... jeez, it was amazing. Not only could you see any building you want in perfect detail, you could see all around it.

It's not so bad...I just haven't had the money to get myself on one of their plans yet. They do these bundle thingies where if you put so much on every month you get stuff like minutes and unlimited texts too.

I'm just confused about when I'm being charged and when I'm not tbh, but that's only because I've never had one of these do-hickeys before. Really, I'll just be using it to send texts and nob-shots, so hopefully that won't be too expensive.

:coffee:

Essentially there are 2 ways to connect to the internet.
One is using the wifi, which you can only use where there is a free wifi signal to latch onto.
The other is through your fone signal...... this one costs your credit. Unless you tell your fone never to connect to the internet this way, every time you click the internet icon chances are it will charge you. I found out the hard way too! Except mine would tell me every day that I've just spent a pound on it and the rest of the day would be free. Took me ages to figure it out. :roll:

Another good feature of the smartphone is if somebody else has unlimited internet (ie. they pay a contract of whatever) you can tether your phone to theirs providing it is in range by setting it as a portable wifi hotspot and then you can use the internet too for freemans.

Thank you all and particularly SB for the above. I think I'm starting to understand now... :umm:

MP - shame about the nob shots but I was only gonna send them to you lot anyway. Hey - hit me up with your email addies! :D

Psketti...did you ever know that you're my hero? You're everything, everything, everything I wish I could be.

Basically, if you're phone is rooted, it just means that you have admin rights and you can pretty much install or do anything to your phone :thumbup:

So is it like unlocking it?
Is this the same as being a root user on a Mac? I keep reading about this but all this stuff distracts me & confuses me from what I should be doing!

It's not unlocking it in the sense that your phone will be open to any network so that any sim card will work. But yeah, it's like being root user on a Mac or Linux.

It's well worth doing, as the majority of the decent apps need to the handset to be rooted

OK...shit just got weird.

There I am, minding my own business, watching some porn a film on the sofa with my wonderful gizmo sat on the cushion next to me.

All of a sudden, fucker lights up without me touching it. It then proceeds to flick back and forth through various screens before selecting someone from my phone book and starting a text to them. It simply typed 'w'.

Has my phone been hacked or was this an attempt at communication from the dead?

I did notice there was blood running from the fawcetts earlier but that's quite a regular occurance in this shit-hole. Hang on, I'll check and see if the direction of water escaping down the plug holes has changed.

Shit man...fucker could be anywhere. Last time, she disguised herself as a dildo and was here for weeks before I rumbled her. I must get to replacing those garlic garlands outside asap.
