re: Android Customization: Tips and Tricks
hi is it safe to root a phone within warranty periods....as the service sentre says it wont provide any warranty if the phone bricks..!! i hav got galaxy y pro duos and downloaded the latest firmware from xda forum but could do it as fearing the warranty would void..!!

ask the service center how will they find if a bricked non working mobile was rooted. a failed update from KIES will brick mobile too. and rooting doesn't brick mobile. usually it makes it unbootable and you'll have to reflash the factory image again.

, any of you guys using LG optimus one or net /w ICS?
Just installed ROM manager, when I select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" it asks for phone model, which one should I choose? Mine LG optimus net is not listed. And about how much data will be downloaded, I have a limited plan on mobile.
So I can update to ICSYup.

^^Now go to Galaxy Fit GT 5670 Android Development - xda-developers and find a ROM you'd like to use.
Read the comments and Changelog on respective ROM Threads to know what's working and whether the ROM is stable before flashing.

go to backup and restore. and take backup including android_secure (thats the apps you have in memory card). once done, memory card will have a nandroid folder. save it to your PC, just in case. download rom you like and flash after wiping (or do factory reset from wipe menu). if you don't like and want to go back to official rom, go to custom recovery > backup and restore > restore > select whatever appears. done.

re: Android Customization: Tips and Tricks
^^ no. just before flashing any rom you must wipe the cache. may skip data if you are upgrading within the same tree (Android 4.0.3 to Android 4.0.4 or so). But if upgrading from official to custom, do wipe everything.
mounting the system failed. once mounted the recovery image can be created else not possible. i'll check with my recovery and then tell you whats wrong. else check if there is any option to manually mount /system (AmonRa recovery have it).

just when i thought video app couldn't any better, i came across MX Player, if your looking more features than stock player then this is the one . You can so easily control brightness, sound, seek any position in the video, zoom in, zoom out, even have subtitles. Pretty great app.
