Guest Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) I am assuming this is a new g300? Go into settings then about phone and scroll to bottom where you will find build number Assuming its B882 you will need the online upgrade to fix volume bug as well as a few others such as security loop. Let us know what build you have? If the volume fix is not in place you must sort this out before using a custom rom And avoid the B888 leaked rom as you will not be able to go back to fix volume if not already done.

Guest Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 B885 means all is fixed so you can now proceed with rooting and clockworkmod recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Davidoff59 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Network unlock and root are totally different and one wont affect the other. The B888 leak does fix the volume. That's what I used. You can't go back to an earlier rom though. Its Paul's rom based on B888 that people were having sound issues with for some reason.

Guest SWIM Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 whats the difference between rooting and cwm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Rooting gives you full access to your device, and clockworkmod(cwm) is the god of android :lol: basically cwm is a custom recovery that enables you to backup your rom and install new ones.

Guest buckleheid Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 ok,ive done all the above now,even tweaked my fonts and got rid of some vodafone apps(not all) i have rom toolbox pro and ive used it to customize my boot screen,what can i do now,is it worth trying the new roms that ppl are making now or just keep it as is for the time being as everything works fine and im still waiting on my sim unlock code..............damn you vodafone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FrankieADZ Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 in my view, your best to stay with what you have for now, there arent many roms about at the minute to try so its not really worth chopping and changing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest buckleheid Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 nice one,cheers for the tip you keep replying to my posts,i think ur my personal g300 guru hahaha :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 If you are happy with your rom and it does everything you need,then there is no need to change roms,unless that rom has some new feature that you want,or it is ics/cm9,which would be an upgrade from gingerbread. The problem is that flashing becomes very addictive,(roms that is :lol: ) and like me,you may end up flashing roms just for the sake of it,even though there is probably not anything in that new rom worth upgrading for.It kind of becomes like window shopping,or try before you by :lol: The side effect of flashing roms all the time,is you never actually get to set up and use android,which is the point in getting an android in the first place. What you end up doing is constantly tweaking and changing things,mainly just because android is open,so you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
