The Zio crapped out for the second time in less then two weeks so I went to replace it and lost it in the process. So now I have the Ascend 2. 2.3 is ok. Getting ready to root this. Spz0, Mattix, and everyone here keep up the good work. Hopefully we can meet up on another phone someday. Thanks for all your help! Good luck with 2.3, I took the easy way. This phone already has speed issues. Plus I miss my theme and Vtl already.

Hope you enjoy your new phone. And if you want to try speeding it up a bit check Zio Development for Juwe11's Ram Script which should work on all phones. I created a fairly detailed thread and also linked to the original post for more information about it.

I was seriously thinking about getting this one, I would like to hear some pros and cons on it. Of course I may just go big time and get the new Samsung indulge. 1gHz processor FTW !!!
Space is an issue. And being so new is as well. Although this has more space then the Zio. No root yet. Do have Netflix, Flash, and the latest version of VTL all working great. 2.3 is ok, nothing to special. It also has a sense like function. Which is cool.

Is the keyboard better then the zio? I have been scoping out the ascend 2 as well as the newer kyocera echo both looking good in my opinion. Echo only if flashable to cricket though. Im getting real tired of the zio keyboard and froyo i loved gingeryoshi 1.2 on my mt3g lol.

Sinisin, I'm going to pm you with a link so you can try to obtain root access on your new phone and you can probably port CM7 from the Ascend. And since it's built for a lower end system it should fly, that is after a bit of work on the kernel,

I don't have a computer to work on anymore. So no getting my hands dirty :-(. But it's running good on vtl and has space and processor lag issues. Definitely needs root and link2sd. Optimized kernel. Development support. But comes with swype and docs to go for free. Dtg is like a 15 dollar application. Courtesy of huawei. Screen could be tighter. Not so accurate. 1400mah battery is ok so far.

Hi guys. I picked up an original Moto Droid (well, had it, but not working on cricKet) for $70 at a Verizon kiosk at the mall. It was a steal. Like-new condition, and I flashed over to CM7. Pretty sweet. I still have my ZIO for now, and I will try to help out here as much as I can, but my wife is making me sell it after I'm finished putting the Droid together. :/
Anyway, I'm not too apprehensive about flashing experimental stuff, because I'll probably just flash back to stock before I sell it, so let me know, yeah?

My Zio dive bombed as well
I screwed my Zio up so I went out and bought the Samsung Indulge by Cricket to replace it. Mostly the 1ghz cpu in the phone was why I bought it.
So far totally stock it seems to be running really sweet with much much less mistyped words unlike the Zio with any keyboard you use with it.
Only problem I'm having now is trying to get it rooted and see about some custome roms for it. I found a website, http://androidforums.com/indulge-al...-scripts-indulge-r910-r915-win-mac-linux.html
that is working on such things as getting cwm and such working on the phone. I'm no where near knowlegable enough to figure that stuff out myself I tried miserably on the Zio.
If anyone has this phone from Cricket and knows how to get it rooted as well as getting the usb drivers to work for my pc to reconize the phone can you help me out with it?
Thank you in advance for any help. I'm still searching around trying to find out about the phone in hopes of what I may find in the forum here about it.

I too have crossed over to the ascend2 and after only half a day no root and complete stock this phone is way better than the Zio hands down. This is everything it should have been and more. My only complaint thus far is the screen resolution doesnt seem as crisp as the Zio but I can live with that. Now I am off to root it.

Root it then play with the LCD density in build.prop and maybe you can get a crisper display.

My Zio has a mind of its own! Force closes! Goes back! Google search! Menu options! And all while it lays flat on my desk, or my nightstand, countertop, anywhere. But only between 55%-85% battery. PLEASE HELP!
Now I'm so broke i can't even pay attention!
Now it just boots up, shuts off, boots up, shuts off. Its basically a landline smartphone cause I can only use it if the charger is plugged in, like right now. All the pages and pages on rooting but very few out there to fix lil problems while rooted. Feel like rolling my window down on the freeway and toss this zio out, THEN ILL HAVE TO BUY SOMETHING ELSE! That'll sure fix the problems above. Unless anybody's got a lil advice that would help me out?
Now I'm so broke i can't even pay attention!
Have you dropped the phone? The reason I asked is that my buddy brought over a HTC Droid incredible and it has similar problems after it was dropped...I rooted it and flashed a few different roms and some of the problems diminished but didn't go away...what rom are you using?
Sent from my LG-P509 using xda premium
Dropped, yes, 2hrs after I first bought it over a year ago. But this has recently started happening, like yesterday and today. I am rooted but not rom-ed (hu, I said rom-ed). I'm too scared to change rom's cause I'm still researching how to do it.
Now I'm so broke i can't even pay attention!
Hmm.. well I would try flashing the open zip rom and see what that does for ya...its not hard to do that, maybe that will help. Other than that i dunno. I've done some tweeking on the open zip rom for my girlfriend and daughter, haven't done any theming for it besides some uot kitchen work, but have been able to apply alot of various build. prop tweeks and some other tweeks that seemed to help with battery life.

There mostly from developer KNZO, he's got a list of build.prop and init.d tweaks.. he's done alot of developing for the optimus p500, I think he's developing for the optimus black now...anyways, most of his tweaks are now standard for custom roms for the p500&p509.. so i tryed to incorporate them into the Sanyo zio.

For tethering, try ClockworkMod Tether. I also installed Eclipse ROM 2.1 a few days ago and it seems to work pretty well, without any bloatware (which didn't bother me much on this phone anyway).

Hi thereisone. I also just switched over from the charge last week. I've been very happy with the bionic. I had the static problem with my radio, but I was also disappointed with the battery life, slow GPS, and general slow response on the charge. All these were improved on the bionic. Of course the screen isn't as nice, but I can live with it. Only real complaint is that the camera sucks.
Anyway, I've been writing up a guide for how to root and get to the latest and greatest. It can be hard to figure it all out because of out-of-date posts. Like others have told you already, we can only go so far right now, but if you just need a phone that functions without all the bloat you'll be alright. I'll have it up by tomorrow.
Get a 901 radio data is,very stady nit so hot on 893,

The other day I went to the verizon store and played with the Galaxy Nexus. I've been thinking about retiring the Bionic for the Nexus, bad thing is the Bionic was a birthday present from my family and I feel bad for ridding it. Anyways, to my surprise, it felt like the Nexus was running as fast and smooth as my Bionic was. I was kind of shocked honestly. So the only thing the Galaxy has going for it: unlocked bootloader, ICS, its a Nexus Device.
anyways hope that makes you feel a little better about having the Bionic.
Before there were any roms for the Bionic, I rooted it (there are guides on how to in the dev section) then found some free apps from the market that remove bloat.
If you are comfortable installing roms, there are instructions on doing so in the dev section but read them carefully and do not skip steps. I recommend eclipse 2.1. It's fast, it looks nice, and it has a much better data connection thanks to the 901 radio. It's a bit tricky to flash for some, but because you are on stock, you will have less of a problem.
Hope it helps!
Happy Droiding!
As stated above, I would make sure you have the 901 System Version. You can check that on the Settings->About Phone menu. It will read 5.9.901.XT875 ... The next thing would be to root it and then install a Custom ROM which is compatible with this version. AFAIK, you have to buy a MySQL app to modify one of the system settings to allow you to do the WiFi tether. You have to fake out the installed Verizon app. Sorry if you already know all of this but when you install the Custom ROM they generally recommend you clear all of the stored data so you will have to set up all of account usernames and passwords again for the apps that are in /system.
I rooted my phone before I did anything. I just took it home, plugged it into the computer and started the scripts I needed.
Good Luck.
It came with 893. Should I use forever root update then flash eclipse?

I also just got my Bionic today as a replacement for my Charge. My Charge had an unfortunate accident and were out of them so they offered me the Bionic and LG Revolution. Like I'd really pick the Revolution over the Bionic? Lol
But looking forward to the guide cause I am completely lost when it comes to the Moto World. And also am looking to wifi tether.

I for one had a love/hate relationship with my Thrill. Loved it at first....hated waiting for the updates....but over all the phone has been GREAT! I rooted, but kept the stock ROM. Just froze some bloatware. Recently updated to ICS...LOVE IT! I would like to root again to get Tethering and to re-freeze apps, but so the solutions I am finding are too convoluted for me. I want something as simple as it was to root with GB using Megatron Exploit.
My contract is up in a month. I am definitely considering the Optimus G. Not a fan of the S3 form factor. Feels like a toy and don't like the rounded edges.
I love my Thrill but LG and ATT seriously upset me when it comes to updating. And the tools necessary to to modify this phone are ridiculous. Not so bad now that I have tinkered with things, but it look a long time to figure it all out. This phone would be junk if it were not for the few brilliant developers we have that took the time to work around LG's crap. I will probably never buy an LG phone again. I want something with over the air updates and I want to purchase it from a company that actually concentrates on the phones that are already out. Don't even get me started on things like cases and invisishields which you can't even find anymore at places like Best Buy, etc.

I will never ever get another lg phone. The device itself is not bad, the issue is the service from lg themselves. Its nonexistent worst support ever. Im def going to another company when my 2 years is up.
I don't think I would probably go with a samsung s3 or s4 maybe a nexus. I would like to have an sd card though so the nexus probably wont happen. I dont even know what phones lg have out so I do like this phone though plus for a 100 buck and no data plan can't really beat it.
I've never seen such a laggy device. It's bizarre.

They really had no say so in what happened with ICS.
Part of it was AT&T's wrong doing by cutting the contract with LG for a while. They had to renew it before any decision to release another firmware/software was developed.
