Is it ok to uninstall google maps from phone memory & install it in SD card? If I change to new SD card, will apps work fine after copying all files from old to new card?

In CWM you can take backup of your current firmware. And restore it too.
Odin is used to flash .tar files of entire firmware or different partitions.

Don't use Odin until it's specified on your device's section/forums.

select the backup & restore option. backup the file. you'll have some NANDROID or so folder in your memory card. save it to desktop (just as backup). now flash custom rom. experiment with it. if you like it, keep using it. else restore the nandroid.

First step is to unlock the bootloader, then root.

Suppose something goes wrong and I need to restore the mobile to how it was before rooting, what should I do then?

guys, just want to clear up some doubts or points in my messy brain before going to have an android at last for myself. as a sony lover, i am going for Ray with the size factor. i dont like big screens like galaxy or note or even like HTC wf.

but, ray does not have 3g VC (using 3g network, not with skype etc) :-( even arc or neo. i have gifted a xperia mini to my wife and vc is not there too. while googling i found that actually its from android not from the mobile.

tell me one thing, if this is from android thn how come vc is available on samsung? is they are incorporated vc in android, if so why sony does not? is there any chance tht vc will come to neo, ray etc :???:

its not an issue on vc as blackberry does not have it too :mrgreen: :p

1. Guys, is it possible to S ON the phone (HTC Explorer) after it has been S Off?

2. If I unlock the bootloader and root the phone, should I install or custom ROM or can I use the same ROM?

3. Suppose I want to claim warranty, is it possible to unroot the phone and relock the unlocked bootloader?

4. If I unroot my phone and unlock bootloader is it possible at all in any way to claim warranty?

Afaik, Android does not support video calling to phone numbers, so not any droid supports vc to phone numbers. But you can vc using Skype, G+, etc.
Also, what vc is available with Samsung?? Didn't get you.

Native Video Calling over 3G Network (Not Data Network) is supported by a few of the Samsung Galaxy Phones. :wink:
It is Samsung's own implementation, and I have heard that some LG phones do have it too, but I am not sure. :razz:

1. yes it is possible.
2. its your wish. you can continue using the stock rom. but you have unlocked bootloader, rooted for a reason.
3. same as 1.
4. best way is to reflash the stock rom.

you are saying that after unlocking the bootloader and rooting we can still undo it to claim warranty... ?
