Or you can just download it from the Market, and run it...

Z4root is down from the market. I don't really about other countries, but here keyword search is showing nothing as Z4root. Can you please check if Z4root is available in your market?

I stand corrected... I just downloaded it from the market about a week ago so I assumed it was still there. It is gone now.
No word on any developers working on ROMs for this thing yet...

z4root
I temporarily rooted no problem with z4root, removed tons of Verizon bloatware.

Be careful with that. OTAs may look for all of their bloatware before installing... It could make upgrading to Froyo more difficult.
Can anyone confirm whether the Fascinate Clockwork Recovery works on the Continuum. I read on another forum that it does, but would like some better confirmation before I try it out....
Of course, that doesn't really matter until we get some ROMs going..... Please, devs, we need you....

Continuum ROM
I have the source code from Samsung and would work on a ROM if someone could get me started. This is my first Android and I rooted with Z4. I deleted a bunch of Verizon crap and now am having outgoing text messages not getting to some recipients. I would love a stock ROM.

I came from using the Nexus One. XDA forums for that device were loaded with devs and goodies. I miss all the action and running Cyanogen ROMs.
What ROMs are best for the other Galaxy S devices? I'd offer a small donation to get the ball rolling.

I for some reason cannot root using z4root. Have downloaded it from here and also the Market on the Samsung Continuum and it does not seem to work. After installing and loading, touching permanent/temporary root seems to have no effect. The 'loading' graphic sits there and the app hangs at running the exploit. Sometimes it even locks the phone to the point where I can only get it to respond by pulling out the battery.
USB debugging is enabled on the device running: 2.1-update1
Build number SCH-I400.DJ20
If you need any other info (or if I am missing something) let me know.

It took me a few tries, but I was successful with the temporary root.

Don't know if it actually did anything, but it finally worked for me when I turned the screen off. Don't see how that would affect it, but that's how it worked for me.

texting issue
HI All,
I posted above about having texting issues after removing bloatware. It turns out that it was the way Google was adding a +1 to my phone numbers. Back to customizing. Z4 worked for me.

Seems to be par for the course with z4. Something randomly done or happens with the phone and by some sort of divine intervention or coincidence it's then rooted.

I also had issues with z4, hardlocked the phone the first time. Second time it FC'd. Third time I was waiting and got a text message. As I was replying to it, z4 popped back up and said rebooting phone. It rebooted and it was rooted.

I actually got it to work after trying and trying and trying. Now to find a Google Quick Search widget that isn't bugged and doesn't stick to the top of the homescreen after clicking on/touching/using it.

Finally got my phone rooted with Z4. Now can't connect to my computer. Gives me the option on whether to use a media card or USB storage. Chose both options (not at same time) and neither worked. Am tempted to remove root as it connected prior to rooting. Has anyone connected after rooting? Any help?
Thanks

Not sure what your issue is. I have my phone rooted and have no problem mounting my phone to my PC.

It's not a ROM issue, it's an app issue. Every major update FB does breaks all sorts of **** (so much for internal testing); I always read user comments first before updating their app and wait until they clear up the issues.

If you've got 1.5.2 backed up by Titanium Backup then go back to that and it works fine until Facebook fix it.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

Having the same issues running CM 6.1. Every time I have updated, I always end up removing updates and going back to Version 1.4.1. It has been the least buggy version for me...

Lol, damn, i wish I would have read the reviews!

Exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks

Does facebook release a beta before sending out updates?

the Market actually has an option to remove the most recent update, so you can just run that

Can anyone please upload the 1.5.2 version? My TB already backed up the 1.5.3 and I only see "uninstall" on the market, no 'uninstall updates' option.

Swtiched to Seesmic
I also couldn't go back, and got tired (very quickly) so I am now trying Seesmic for facebook config only. It seems to work okay if you get tried of waiting.

Google "facebook 1.5.2 .apk" and find yourself a download link for the old version... Helped for me.

The latest update fixed the FC bugs.
Sent from a Western Union telegram.

I'm getting a "package file was not signed correctly" when I try to update to 1.5.4 from 1.5.2. Any ideas?
*edit* : fixed it, had to uninstall, reboot and reinstall. Weird.

update fixed the fc's for me, too.

[Q] How good it's speed improvement from root + factory reset?

"How good is..." Trying to understand what I can expect from a lag improvement. Any major warnings on apps NOT to freeze (other than home/launcher)?
Really hoping this phone gets some Cyanogen love and/or a debloat of the stock ROM with some feature adds.

I froze music lilac and music widget but started having problems with bluetooth ad2p. Probably would be a good idea to start a new freeze list.
Sent from my LG-P930 using xda premium

Agree on the new list. There are a bunch of posts out there right now.
You definitely see a good improvement from rooting and factory reset?
Is factory reset really needed?

Why start another when one exists already???

@theoski: Please search next time

I just did hard reset and reinstalled apps using titanium backup. It is a little bit faster but nothing revolutionary. The soft is definitely not optimized for this hardware. Reminds me of early days of Atrix 4G. As everyone thinks the dev support will be fairly limited, although there wont be any obsticles like with Atrix when the bootloader was locked for months. With Go Launcher setup took me 20 min to do it.

There are a lot of posts in there and I'm not sure which are valid and which are not. I'll post in that thread and ask the OP to update.

why would any of it be invalid?

I don't mean invalid per se, just that it's not clear which of the items might cause boot issues. It would be nice to have a list of which are bloat apps that can be uninstalled normally, which are bloat that must be uninstalled using Titanium Backup, which are more process oriented items that can still be uninstalled, and which are things someone definitely should not freeze or uninstall.
Really more of a corralling of what's already out there in an updated OP.

Software update from T-Mobile with custom rom??

Just keep getting a notification about a software update from T-Mobile is this safe to do when having a custom rom? The FreeGS3 R6
Is anyone having this notification as well??
Sent from iPhones worst enemy THE SGS3

Don't do it. Realistically, the dev should've disabled the room update feature if he used the TMo ROM for his base. You may want to pm him and let him know.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using XDA Premium HD app

Its not gonna do anything. If you accept it'll download and attempt to install but will fail.
You can go into app management and disable the software update apps there.
FreeGS3 is a wip. Dev is also working on incorporating a software update for his rom, so it may have been left purposely. Either way, no harm has or will come beccause its there. Its already been covered many times in that roms thread as well as multiple others.

Titanium
Use Titanium backup to force stop the updates from happening or uninstall them all together I did that and now the updates are gone.

Since the thread is covered and done. I'm curious as to the whole update search app not hurting anything. On the g2x WhitehawkX always removed the possibility for it cause it was !
1. Annoying
2. Something that was always checking and causing battery drainage. It this not true?

Do you mean the Software Update and FW Upgrade apps? On a custom rom I dont think itd matter either way. Most likely you wouldnt be able to use it since you are rooted, deodexed and prob on a custom recovery. Like what happened for many on FreeGS3. Able to download the update but installation failed. But we knew it was available.
I dont think it uses much in the way of resources. He could be right about battery though, and im sure he knows more thsn I do on that subject.
In short it doesnt hurt anything to be there, but if it cant be used, isnt it just wasted space?

How do you get into app management? I've been looking... And with titanium, you must have the pro version, I believe to freeze the update. Also what do I freeze?

sadly, many family members i know will love this.

I hope it's something that doesn't try and take over your phone's basic functionality. If it's just an App that doesn't do anything until you run it then that's fine with me.

It probably does run in the background on boot, unles you AutoStart it off.
On the stock-based ROMs, there's a background service called "SNS" (IIRC) that has the Facebook logo as its icon. This app probably uses that service. SNS can be safely frozen.

Thanks Skripka, that's good to know. I just got my Note 2 and am relatively new to Android in general. When you say frozen, does that mean disabled?

IIRC, SNS cannot be disabled via Manage Apps....It must be "frozen" (disabled) via a root tool like Titanium Backup.
*I don't for for sure what services this new Faceplant app uses...I'm just guessing. Not on the Faceplant, and not going to join just to find out.

My thoughts exactly lol
I hate how they keep cramming FB and Twitter down our throats. If I wanted to let my friend know that I just took a dump, I'd call him on the phone like normal people.

I am glad to see an even greater number and diversity of apps coming to android, and specifically the Note2. That said, Facebook Home will never have an opportunity to afflict my Note2.

Would be promising if it weren't made by Facebook. The app alone is lucky to still be installed.

Why is everybody attacking this? It's an optional app, no more intrusive than any other app on the market. Download it if you want to give it ago, uninstall it if you don't like it.

Anyone find it in the market yet? The facebook app had an update but when I go to settings and enable facebook home it takes me to Google play and says item not found.
