Have you modded your Android phone?

[wolfen69]

Although I was pretty happy with the stock configuration, the tinkerer inside of me had to let loose and mod my Samsung Infuse 4G (4.5" screen, Super AMOLED). With no help from others, (directly) it took me several hours to figure everything out. I even semi-bricked it at one point, but recovering it wasn't too difficult.

My phone originally came with Android 2.2.1 and was promised to be updated to 2.3.6 sometime over the last 9 months. But it seems like that is not going to happen. So I took matters into my own hands and made it happen. I'm so glad I did. Now I have a 2.3.6 custom ROM that seems a bit more responsive with less bloat. Plus the extra features are a nice touch. Btw, I'm running the Zeus ROM.

Anyone else here doing any modding?

Also have a Samsung, a Captivate, that was promised gingerbread for months and months (ironically, the official build was released like two weeks ago). Lost patience and put CM7 on it last November. Love it. Have a Nook Color running CM7, too. I also soft bricked the phone and was in a semi panic, dreaming up ways I could try to pawn it off as a hardware failure to the ATT people to get a new phone. Calmed down and found one-click unbrick. Worked like magic.

The whole process with the heimdall suite is remarkably easy, though it is a bit harrowing when you realize that if you do brick the phone, you're in a heap of trouble. The reward is worth it, though. It makes the phone so much better.

I did install a 4.0.3 ROM on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus, and it was pretty good Only downfall was some apps didn't work cause they weren't compatible with 4.0.3 so I had to downgrade back to 4.0.1 stock.

I'd love to try CyangonMod 9 one day when all apps will be supported

Was there really that much difference between 4.0.3 and 4.0.1?

I'm quite happy with it, but tempted to try CM9

Rooted sgs2 i9100 for security and ad removal. Might try a Ubuntu install on it some day soon.

I have the inspire 4g and am running a alpha ice cream sandwhich rom and am loving it

I'd still use oxygen if I could (best battery friendly rom I've used) but unfortunately I got the black screen during unlocking bug and gave it up.

There are times when my plans for modding my HTC Evo go along these lines:

Put Evo on garage floor.

Walk motorcycle backwards until rear wheel is on Evo.

Drop to first, hold front brake, goose throttle.

Let clutch out.
