Howdy,
I am new to rooting but did some research before pulling the trigger.
I followed the instructions located at droid life. I would post a URL but since I am new I cant.
But I have been stuck at the Z4 MOD screen with the rotating circle for about 20 mins now. Help please....
Sometimes a reboot and try again does the trick.

Just let it go until it stops spinning (took me about 20-25 minutes) pull the battery, reboot, try again. It will be almost instant the second time
If you still don't have any luck, make sure to go into settings-->Applications--> development--> USB debugging. Make sure that usb debugging box is checked.
If that still doesn't help, try putting the phone into AIrplane mode and then try running z4root.

When I did it to mine I was also in airplane mode. You might want to try that
Ok thanks for the help. I waited about 40 mins and then closed the program and rebooted the phone. It took only 30 seconds and it was done..
So now that I have that done I loaded liberty 1.5
I also downloaded adw launcher as I heard it was pretty good.
My problem now is I cannot get it to set up my two other email accounts (hotmail and another ) like I had before. I also cannot get it to link some of my existing contacts to my facebook contacts (basically double contacts)
What am I doing wrong?

Ok so I deleted adw launcher and went back to the liberty controls. Doing that allowed me to join contacts into one. So one problem solved.
But I still cannot get my emails to work. I enter in all the info and I get this message : "unable to open connection to server"
Also I cannot find the original messaging widget that I had on the phone before. It basically was a large widget that had a preview of my text messages.
My email widget is missing as well...
Thanks for your help
When you installed liberty, you removed all of the stock apps aka blur apps. Liberty uses all aosp apps which do not haves the blur elements. This may explain why you can't do the email and it is why you don't have the messaging widget. If you still want the messaging widget I recommend you try gosms or hancent
Handcent is the way to go for sure. And honestly you should get a gmail account. It just makes sense if you use a Droid. Plus go into liberty tool box - addons and you can put back some of the blur stuff. I recommended the blur camera because the stock liberty camcorder doesn't support hd. Good luck!

Thanks. I do have a GMail account but do not do much emailing with it.

Next question is my facebook widget is not keeping updated like it should. On the main widget screen you can scroll through new posts from all of your friends but for some reason it is not updating them. If I click on the widget it loads my facebook and everything is recent.
Any ideas?
Hmm not sure I don't use the Facebook widget. I use the twidroyd widget instead. I had the same problem but it got fixed when the app had a new update. Are other people having that problem? Might be the app. Try seesmic I hear they added Facebook support. He's the guy that made ping.FM so you know it's decent. Maybe check your app update settings and make sure its getting content.

After I turn the phone on in the morning it goes to that "dos like" screen where you can backup and restore, update, etc etc. It says clockwork mod recovery on the bottom. I usually click the first option and the phone resets and loads fine.
What is going on?
Also I would like a clock widget similar to the stock digital one. I like how the stock one would change weather forecasts when I changed citys.

The dos-like screen is a hikacked recovery for the X. It may seem like a hassle to always have to tell the phone to boot normally, but the one time that it bricks or has issues, then this recovery console will.be q blessing.

a really strange thing happened to me....
i had to have a factory reset since the camera app just decided it didn't want to work properly. started with not playing back videos, then while recording videos it would just crash to home screen and in the end it just didn't start at all. lol
anyhow. i had the factory reset and everything went great. but i noticed that every app i had previously installed started coming up in the applications list. i only had to restore my contacts and the phone was just as before. even the wifi list was not cleared. i had every other wifi installed already..
another good thing that came out of this whole thing (well, the menu buttons still go off and on whenever they please...) is that the battery consumption is awesomely lower. i mean, i had to recharge the phone twice during the day, but now it stays on for about 24H even if i'm gaming on it for some time....
strange things....
oh, forgot to mention that it's a non rooted, stock rom carrier free phone
(i wish i could root it but it's all SO complicated and the risk of bricking it leaves me with stock apps like facebook/tweeter/stock market etc eating up the battery juice.... oh well)
sorry for the lengthy reply..
Cheers !!!
Yeah, your previously downloaded apps and some settings are stored in the cloud. If you don't want them back, during the initial setup, skip the Gmail account setup. Then open Gmail and add your account back. Your apps and settings should not be downloaded again.
The Apps and other things come back when syncing with your google Konto. Nice Feature BTW

So I've spent the past week flashing different roms trying to figure out the issue and the only thing I can figure is sense based roms cause my text order to be out of order. The incoming texts show up before the sent text in the thread. I've tried stock messaging app as well as alternate sms apps and still the same thing. My wife is on stock non root and has the same issue.
Put CM7 on my phone yesterday and ran it all day and all my texts showed right..I first thought it was maybe a carrier issue in my area but why would CM7 work right when sense doesn't....
I'm at a loss on a fix and my wife wants a fix too lol...anyone have any ideas?
Fixed my issue...finally hit me on what I could try and it actually worked...so stinking happy!

I had the same issue with an AOSP rom. weird. I believe it might be one of the 3rd party widgets (not messaging apps) such as the sense widget or the launcher pro sms widget. first I thought it was my theme, reflashed still no go. so I wiped and reflashed then found out that if I clicked on a friends name from the launcher pro sms widget and sent a message it would be out of order for instance when he texts and I reply my reply would go BEFORE his message...
If not the widgets my second theory could be the kernels...
quick fix. just restart your messaging app and delete all the threads.
I tried everything and the only thing that worked for me was putting the vanilla android mms.apk on instead of sense mms.apk
Although the vanilla messaging app likes to force close on composing mms
Hi, I haven't found thread about it so...
every time i reboot my legend (with stable cm7 and gapps) i'm missing of facebook's account. but... when i try to create one, i can't (after click to add account, i get redirected to main screen with all accounts). I found solution to that (clear cache in apps manager), however, i don't want to do it every single time i reboot my phone. could anyone give me a solution ? thanks a lot.
First, please make sure that the facebook app is not installed on your SD card.
Okay i moved it to internal memory. So it should help, right?
Sent from my Legend using XDA App
Well, you're the only one who can test that. Please try to post in the correct subforum in future.
I had the same problem after moving to CM7. I think it's caused because facebook and all the other apps are installed right after the first start but before installing and setup the gmail app. Do you have the gmail app installed?
Deinstall and install again the facebook app helped me.
PS: the official Twitter app had the same problem in my case.
I have installed all the apps like gmail etc. Moved to.phone's memory helped.

Ever since I flashed froyo on my phone I have had problems with my weather ticker. It hasn't been updating/refreshing like it should. Also when I click the icon on my ticker it no longer opens weather bug anyone know why?
If your running ec07. Try the GPS fix.

Well, It wasn't working when I used EC03, and yesterday I switched to EC07. Still isn't working. I'm hesitant to try the GPS Fix because it's a shot in the dark if it would work and it's going to take a quite a bit of time for me to figure out ADB.
Any other suggestions? :/
Copy and paste GPS. Conf with root explorer in folder that the adb command says in post. Then reboot. Make sure to mount r/w in folder pasting to. (Button on top in root explr)

Ah thank you. I copied the gsp.config over, lets see if it works....
EDIT: Nope, a no go on the weather ticker. I can't even open it.
Are you on a stock ROM or one of the manymodded ROMs? the only reason it wouldn't open would be if someone deleted the app or if your ticker is forever "locked"which I have seen before....
Sent from my SCH-I400 using xda premium
I'm using Nuckins ROM. I don't think the ticker is locked, because I can still open my Text messages via the ticker bar. Just the weather thingymabobber won't come up, and the only way I can refresh it is by manually going into the weather ticker settings and clicking Refresh. It doesn't even seem to refresh automatically every 3 hours, like it is set to do.
I'm not sure if Nuckin's ROM has deleted the app or not, but if it has how can I get it back? ALSO... Before this ROM I was using THIS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1203597 ROM by pastorbennett and the weather ticker OPENED but wasn't updating with it.
I know at one point on an older flash I was using TI and deleted some essential apps for the entire ticker section without knowing it. They're have very vague names. Reflashing would definitely fix the issue, if that's something you're willing to do.
Reflashing what? I've already experimented with 2 different ROMS. First time I had EC03/pastorbennetts ROM and this time I have EC07/Nuckin's ROM.... problems with both and the weather ticker. However, slightly different problems. With EC03 I could open the weatherbug app by clicking on the weather icon, but I couldn't refresh it not even manually. This time, with EC07 I can refresh it manually but that's about it. I can't open the Weatherbug app and I don't think it's refreshing on its own either. (Although it could be, I'm just having a hard time telling since I can't open the APP and see what time it updated.)
Plus, I've reflashed both of those more than once with the same issue.
EDIT: Unless you mean to reflash stock, then flash the ROM?
EDIT2: I think I've already reflashed stop after this anyway....
EDIT3: Well, I tried to manually go into my applications and open Weatherbug and it's giving a Force Close Error. >.< I uninstalled it, and reinstalled it, same issue.
Best advice I could give is to go into <2e> then open CwM (red seems to work nicely) wipe cache wipe data factory reset then reflash the EC07_clean! This ROM fixed most problems for me and its a simple quick flash. Then you can update to whatever ROM you've been wanting to use. The entire ticker-stuffs has worked flawlessly for me on the EC07 clean so I recommend that. It was a problem I was having too since rooting my i400.
Okay so now that my phone is unbricked, haha... I'm having my lovely WB ticker problem again. Except this time, the program opens when I click the ticker BUT I can't refresh it manually with the refresh icon. Any idea why or how it can be fixed? lol
Funny, I just started having the problem where the ticker icon doesn't open the app.
