This guide will explain how to root the Motorola Charm. This is going to be a quick and simple guide, because the root process for the Motorola Charm is very simple.

Follow these instructions:

1) Download the Universal Androot application.
2) Go to the Android Market and install one of the applications that come up when you search for “AppInstaller”. A free one will be perfect.
3) Also, download ROM Manager.
4)  Now, put the Universal Androot app onto your SD card. Then, navigate to your SD card using the AppInstaller app that you downloaded, and select and install Universal Androot.
5) Open Universal Androot once it’s installed. Once it’s open, it should tell you what your firmware version is. Once you see that, click the “Root” button!
6) This may take up to 2 minutes, but once it’s done, it will tell you that you’ve successfully rooted your phone.

Simple, isn’t it? Now, you can use an app such as Root Explorer or Titanium Backup or something similar to uninstall those pesky stock apps that you never use!

Are you looking for Android tablet apps and having a hard time finding them? One thing that we noticed that the Android Market did not have, was a section for Android tablet applications. We decided several months ago that we needed to create a website that listed only Android applications that were designed specifically to work on the Android tablets, and now today we’d like to point you to that website! Android Tablet Apps is a website that we have created to allow users to search for applications that are specifically designed for Android tablets, and we hope that you find it useful. Be sure to follow the site on twitter at AndroidTabApps, like them at Facebook, and leave some comments and reviews on the apps you find!

There is currently a petition to the US White House to forgive student loan debts. This would be a true stimulus to our American (and world) economy, because it will free up billions of dollars that the consumers are currently pumping into the big name student loan companies, which is doing nothing to help our current economy. By forgiving student loans, each adult/student who is currently paying several hundred dollars, and some even paying thousands per month, would now have this extra money to pump back into our American economy, which would definitely give a permanent boost, instead of printing money and creating temporary jobs to give a placebo recovery effect. To quote directly from the petition:

Forgiving student loan debt would provide an immediate jolt to the economy by putting hundreds and, in some cases, thousands of extra dollars into the hands of people who WILL spend it – not just once, but each and every month thereafter – freeing them up to invest, buy homes, start businesses and families. This past year, total student loan debt finally surpassed total credit card debt in America, and is on track to exceed $1 TRILLION within the next year.

Here is the shortlink provided by the WhiteHouse.gov page: http://wh.gov/gpx

Please, allow just the two minutes that it takes to create an account at the WhiteHouse.gov site, verify your email address, and add your signature to this petition. The petition’s minimum-needed signature limit has already been surpassed three times over, but the more steam this petition gets, the more likely the White House will take this petition seriously.

Also, I now have an HTC Evo, so I will be covering the ability to root Gingerbread on Evo, also known as OG on HTC Evo. Keep your eyes peeled for this information because it *should* be coming available soon.

After a long and insanely good ride for both the HTC Evo and the Samsung Epic, both of these monumental phones will be discontinued, according to a screenshot that we have obtained from an online source, named at the bottom of this article.

Long story short, the white HTC Evo will be discontinued in September, followed by the Samsung Transform, the original HTC Evo, and the Samsung Epic. You will see all of the current plans that Sprint has with their Upcoming End-of-Life list that I have typed up below, and also included the screenshot.

And here is the source screenshot:

If you are having trouble getting your computer to see your Samsung Moment when you plug it in, then you will need to follow the guide below to get your Moment to be recognized again. This issue extends to almost all Samsung Moments running any kernel, ROM, or version of Android.

Installing USB and ADB Drivers for Samsung Moment

1. First, you will need to uninstall any Samsung-related program that you have installed during the process of trying to get your computer to recognize your phone. You may need to restart your computer after uninstalling, so make sure you bookmark this page so you can get back to it easily when you reboot.
2. Put the Moment into USB Debugging mode. Go to Settings -> Applications -> Development -> Check USB Debugging mode.
3. Download this file: Samsung.Moment.USB.Drivers.Windows.zip
4. Once you download the file, extract it to your desktop.
5. Plug your Moment into your computer using your USB cable. You should see a pop up saying that drivers were NOT successfully installed. That’s what we are looking for!
6. Now, open up your Device Manager. In Windows 7, just click the Start Menu button, type Device Manager into the search box, and select the first result.
7. You will see a device under the tree ‘Other Devices’ with a yellow exclamation point next to it named SAMSUNG_Android.
8. Right click SAMSUNG_Android. Select Update driver software.
9. Select Browse my computer for driver software.
10. Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers.
11. Make sure All Devices is selected. Press Next.
12. Select Have Disk.
13. Browse to your Desktop folder where you extracted the previously downloaded ZIP file. Once you select the folder Samsung.Moment.USB.Drivers.Windows, open it and locate ssadadb2, and double-click it. Then, press the OK button.
14. The next screen will say SAMSUNG Android USB Composite Device, and it should be highlighted. Press Next.
15. You will see a progress window, then a success message saying your driver has been installed.
16. We need to do this again with the S3C6410 Android ADB device which will be found in the ‘Other Devices’ tree with a yellow exclamation point next to it.
17. Right-click the S3C6410 Android ADB device, and select Update driver software.
18. Select Browse my computer for driver software.
19. Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers.
20. Make sure All Devices is selected. Press Next.
21. Select Have Disk.
22. Browse to your Desktop folder where you extracted the previously downloaded ZIP file. Once you select the folder Samsung.Moment.USB.Drivers.Windows, open it and locate ssadadb2, and double-click it. Then, press the OK button.
23. The next screen will say SAMSUNG Android Composite ADB Interface, and it should be highlighted. Press Next.
24. You will see a progress window, then a success message saying your driver has been installed.
25. We need to do this again with the CDC Abstract Control Module (ACM) device which will be found in the ‘Other Devices’ tree with a yellow exclamation point next to it.
26. Right-Click the CDC Abstract Control Module (ACM) device, and select Update driver software.
27. Select Browse my computer for driver software.
28. Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers.
29. Make sure All Devices is selected. Press Next.
30. Select Have Disk.
31. Browse to your Desktop folder where you extracted the previously downloaded ZIP file. Once you select the folder Samsung.Moment.USB.Drivers.Windows, open it and locate ssadadb2, and double-click it. Then, press the OK button.
32. The next screen will say SAMSUNG Android USB Modem, and it should be highlighted. Press Next.
33. You will see a progress window, then a success message saying your driver has been installed.
34. Once finished, close the Device Manager window and the Control Panel window.
35. Go to your phone. Unlock it, and drag down the notification bar. You should now see a notification that says “USB connected. Select to copy files to/from your computer.” Tap it.
36. On the pop-up window that appears, select Mount (or Turn on USB storage). Next, select OK. This will mount your SD card to your computer so you can add, edit, or delete files from the SD card on your phone, through you computer!

If the mount is successful and Windows notifies you that you have connected a drive to you computer, then you’re in great shape! Close the Windows pop-up. Then go to Start, then Computer. Select the Removable Disk that should now appear. When it opens, you are able to add, edit, and remove contents on your SD card right form your computer! Always be sure to Unmount, or Turn off USB storage, before you remove your phone from your computer. This will ensure that you don’t corrupt your SD card contents. Enjoy!!!
