GUIDE: How-To Root, Busybox, Flash/Recovery, Framework-res.apk

[shantanu]

I recommend people follow that post before attempting this methods must follow this http://www.motorolafans.com/forums/m...s-options.html


- Improve Call Audio Quality
• Dial ##7764726 (##PROGRAM) and act as if you were going to call that number.
• Enter 000000 for the SPC Password and then tap Verify
• Tap on "04 Vocode"
• Tap on EVRC-B than Apply
• The phone should automatically reset a few seconds afterward. If not, power cycle the phone
• Explanation - This changes how the phone compresses and decompressed the call audio which improves the quality.


- Safe Mode
• With the phone off, slide open the keyboard open
• Press and hold the Power+Menu button (on the keyboard)
• Continue to hold until the "Droid Eye" comes up and you feel the phone vibrate
• Phone should start up and say "Safe Mode" in the bottom left-hand corner
• Explanation - This starts only the core Android processes. This is best used for diagnosing if a 3rd party application is causing your phone to malfunction or if you cannot uninstall if when in regular mode.
• TRY THIS FIRST if you are having any problems with your phone acting up, especially with the built-in Android apps (example - Messaging app is crashing. Boot in Safe Mode. If app doesn't crash when doing what you were doing in regular mode, it's most likely going to be a 3rd party app with access to messaging that is causing a problem.)
• BE AWARE that after coming out of Safe Mode, 3rd party widgets might not display properly on the home screen. Press and hold on the widget and drag it down into the trash can, then readd it to the home screen. This will fix the "problem loading widget" error.

Change Framework-res.apk
Use your desired framework-res.apk.
