how can it get back to custom rom? just to the default setting as you installed it. if it was a rooted ROM, it'll stay rooted. if it was not rooted before, and you rooted it using some app, you'll loose the root access.

Thanks for clarification. :)

I successfully flashed VOID ROM on to my phone. Though I did take a backup of the previous ROM, I forgot to copy it on to my PC. Under the assumption that I copied the back up file to PC, I deleted the back up file from the SD Card too! :-(

What if I want to go back to the stock ROM, in the future? Anyone? :?:

1. download gingerbread app from XDA.
2. mount your mobile as mass storage in PC (just connect cable & you are on).
3. transfer app to memory card.
4. install app.
5. phone should restart & your mobile is rooted.

step by step (copied from androidfan's OTA ;-) )

Always install from the market. Most of ur needs are satisfied with free apps. So u don't have to go for the paid one unless until needed. For a normal user, free apps are more than enough. Just get a unlimited data plan for a day or two ( Check with ur mobile service provider ) or go to wifi zone and browse the market and download apps of ur interest.

Yup. Sounds plausible.

As u bought the phone just now, don't try to root immediately. Try to get comfortable with the phone and apps for a week or so and then proceed to root :). Also take a backup before trying to install custom rom :)

Yea..even I'm thinking the same. Will root after a week.

Another query guys: I get many private/confidential messages and I want to hide those sms from prying eyes. All SMS including sent, received and draft messages should get hide automatically.
Well, I want something like this for the android platform: MumSMS – Application to Hide SMS
MUMSMS - mobile9

Please suggest me app for the same. TIA. :)

Stock messaging app don't offer much options. Use Handcent Sms or Go Sms Pro. Both are free, good and has plenty of options. U can also have a look at Chomp Sms

Low the brightness, turn off any running apps and turn off WiFi if you are not using it. :)

And for games, try Speedx 3D Free and Raging thunder 2.. Great games! :)

lasts 2 days under normal use. turn WiFi on & it won't last 12hrs also.

cause gaming won't be fun on a touchscreen without any control, try these:
Apparatus ---> try the slim version first. must play.

35-40% brightness works best.

^^ so low :shock: ? i used to do the same but android system takes away most of the power, not display. keep it at around 20% or more. but i don't know if it is related to kernel in any way.

I set to 0 to 30 % in display but nothing much.

Android System Consumes a lot of battery. The process related to Gallery ( cooliris) consumes a lot of battery
