1)root via gingerbreak/z4root depending on ur firmware 2)install rom manager from android market and choose flash cwm

I came across Custom Recovery.
Whats this?
Is i necessary?

 

[coderunknown]

first of all, congrats yes, custom recovery is needed to flash custom roms. for now get used to your mobile. don't directly jump into modding.

Ok, I'm thinking of flashing Mik_OS 6.5.7 now that almost everything is stable now.

But before that I want to take some suggestions...

1. Is the FM thing fixed. Last when I was in 6.5.4 only 5 or something like that channels can be added. And Auto Scan was not there.
2. Seems like Franco v19.1 is not good as v18 or v18.1. Caused lot of trouble for many. Should I flash it or just be happy with 6.5.7??

One more thing, what's the actual BFS and CFS thing?? I mean what's the difference?? And which one should I use??

please tell a link to download the stock rom.i'm getting the ".dz" file and not the ".kdz" file.

also i'm not able to get drivers for my O1 (or i should say that i'm not able to use them)
i installed the drivers but in vain.
my pc doesn't detect any drivers

please HELP!!!!!!!

After installing ClockworkMod recovery using ROM Manager, you have to reboot your phone first... Not reboot directly into recovery...

How is it that so many users make the same mistake?

please help me.

 

[gmg9]

[Neo]

@ Tarun

Get comfortable with stock apps for 2 - 3 days and thereby u will get comfortable with Android and O1. Then u download / try the apps from the market. Don't get into modding.

If u still want to brick the phone, learn very well before u root / install ROM on the phone

Thanks for the great list.

Can we play 720p videos on it ?

@ Tarun Get comfortable with stock apps for 2 -3 days and thereby u will get comfortable with Androi market. Don't get into modding. If u still want to brick the phone, learn very well before u root / install ROM on the phone

Can you please post a good linj from where I can learn to do all the process.
I really don't know which site to trust.

 

[coderunknown]

just download the apps from market. don't trust sites other than XDA.

for now just keep using mobile to get familiar with how Android works. i rooted my mobile 20days after i brought it.
