and how do we do it?

i imagine you'll post some instructions for us less savvy people?

(just paid for your ad free version, being that you are the man and all....)

I will of course post the file and instructions very soon.

It's easy... it's my usual 'superboot' method.

P

have you rooted and replaced original with 2.1 again or are you using an earlier firmware to root?

Neither... the bootloader is unprotected so I simply rebuilt a boot image that copies the root files.

P

oh cool, never thought of that.

when are you doing the guide for the pulse mini.

if you are doing one.

I've created a custom recovery image now too.

I'm going to do a MoDaCo Custom ROM for the mini then release the whole lot together... that way I test the process extensively before I post it!

Can we expect a review of it at some point?

I'm interested in it, but really want to know how the screen is. That is, do you really need the stylus?

Well i can tell you a couple of things,

ive just had a play with my mates and the stylus for it is crap, it folds away while ur trying to use it,

the screen on the device is quite small but i can still use it pretty well with my thumbs, and i have pretty bring hands.

They do come with alot of crap apps that u dont really need or there is a better version of the app on the market.

It isnt the fastest of phones, it does jump a bit while scrolling.

But overall if you want a cheap android phone, its not bad. But its not great.

Theres also a nice review here

Agreed. Not bad, but not great. But cheap. :P

This sounds like it's GF material: she would only read/send emails with it and use traintime/facebook apps.

Not a romantic gift though :D

If you really love her spend the extra 50 quid and buy her the Pulse - it's way better. :D

Hey Paul,

Any update on the guide for rooting the Pulse Mini?

Is there a ROM out there to flash to it to rid it of its T Mobile branding??

Thanks for your help,

I have it all here ready to go I just haven't got it online yet.

It actually won't get rid of the T-Mobile pinkness, there's no 'generic' ROM per se.

Guessing then that there is no easy method of ridding the network lock? Was considering getting my sister one of these, but would be sending it back to Ireland - no T-Mob there and would need to be unlocked.

I just paid the site that was in the Pulse thread 20 usd. I'll let you know how it goes after they send me my code.

cheers :-)

cheers :-)

Got the code earlier today, worked a treat!

I now have a sim unlocked phone.

Now I am just waiting for Pauls rooting guide & files and it'll be good to go.
