[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xformulax:
definitely need root.... also need the cifs.ko lib, not sure if that is included in stock 3.1 or not.... i just chose to go with primordial 3.1, since i knew it had it and it was working.... had to downgrade to .9, wipe, root, and install.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewingr:
I may end up doing something like that. Holding off for a while to see if the thing is solid enough to not have to return.

I don't know about that lib either. Just went to the site for the app, and it did indicate it needs root. Haven't read much yet over there. Will read some more on it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xformulax:
if you want to check for the lib, it's location should be /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko

also not sure if there's an easy way to root 3.1, but rooting .9 was pretty simple, just need adb (miniadb is fine, no need for the entire SDK)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewingr:
Thanks for that. Just checked, and it is not there. I would think that if all that is 'required' is root, then installing CIFSMANAGER would install that lib. But who knows. I presume if that is the case then the reason I don't have it is because I am not rooted.

Interestingly, I can get to the server I want to with ES Filemanager. But I think it is using SMB. Also, I cannot get to it via other apps, which is what I presume CIFSMANAGER does for us.

I suspect I'll hold off with root until one comes out for 3.1. But I will likely be applying a ROM one of these days. I've been on custom ROMS on my Captivate for quite a while.
[General Questions and Answers] bimfi:
Due to some warranty issues, I need to take my rooted and unlocked Captivate back to AT&T. Before I do that I must set it back to factory default. What I don't want to do is lose the programs that I painstakingly searched for and installed onto the device. Some of these I think I can't find anymore. Is there a way to remove these apk apps from the phone and store them onto my PC for re-installation later. Things like busybox installer, root explorer, Superuser permission, etc?
[General Questions and Answers] Karmaflute:
Downloaded apps are stored in /data/app and native apps in /system/app. This path may be different depending on your carrier and OS version. On a Samsung phone I used which was running 2.1, I think downloaded apps were in /d/apps.

If you still can't find then, try running:

find -name *.apk

. That will tell you where everything is. :o

Titanium Backup. Backup all user apps + data, then reinstall later. I suggest getting the Pro Key, but it isn't necessary.

If you want something a little more minimal, there are apps that backup a list of installed apps. You can save the list in HTML form. Open it with a text editor from your phone, click the link, and it takes you to the market download page.

(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)
[General Questions and Answers] bimfi:
Thanks! I have Titanium Backup Pro installed. So, I just run backup and save it to my PC, then reinstall it all later? That sounds SO easy! I hope I understood you correctly. Thanks again!
[General Questions and Answers] plainjane:
Yep. Run the backup, then move the Titanium Backup folder to your computer. Since app purchases are tied to your Google account, just reinstall TB and the Pro key from the market, move the folder back, and batch reinstall.

Almost seems too good to be true, but it isn't. I wouldn't restore system apps/settings across different roms or phones. The only system stuff I restore are wifi access points and playlists.

Good luck!

[General Questions and Answers] androidlover123:
Simple. Just do a nandroid backup and it will be saved in your sd card. If you restore it, it will restore all the apps, system settings, launcher settings, etc; it will be in the same exact state as it was before the nandroid backup. Steps on how to do a nandroid backup and restore from an earlier nandroid backup can be found here:http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-perform-and-restore-a-nandroid-backup/
[HTC Inspire 4G] GuestK00450:
I am brand new to the Android OS and I heard from some friends that rooting is very similar to "jailbreaking" on the iPhone in the sense that you gain a lot of extra features and are able to sideload apps, etc.

I have a few questions before I do my root. Also, I do not want to install Android 2.3 or any other OS on my phone. I want to keep the stock OS, except I want my phone to be rooted (if that works). The guide my friends showed me was this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=952352

1. If I root my phone and then install an HTC or AT&T update, does my root go away (HTC Inspire 4G locked to AT&T).

2. Can I remove the AT&T lock so I can use my phone in Europe if I root?

3. I don't want to brick my phone, so is there anyway to back it up beforehand?

Thanks for the help!
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
1. It won't let you update so your good.

2. Yes you can it unlocks the phone.

3. Yes its called a Nandroid :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] GuestK00450:
Also, is the thread I posted the best method for rooting as of right now, or is there a better one?
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
That's how I rooted mines. Very simple :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] ranklepup:
Just remember backups are your friends :-)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
+1! I learned this the hard way haha.....I went flash crazy once with mods, and one of them went wrong. I hadn't made a backup in almost a week, so I had a lot of work to do to get everything back the way I like it. Now, I religiously do a backup before doing any mod, everytime :). Time consuming, yes, but it'll save you A LOT of time if something goes wrong.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jjr3211:
yep very true a back up just saved my butt yesterday
[HTC Inspire 4G] deadnc34:
Back up is a must.. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] hyun18:
I hate when I get bricked without a backup....I have to reinstall the rom and set up everything again..
[HTC Inspire 4G] nobitacu:
words can't explain how many times I've been saved with my backup when messng with different flashes, haha. Very important.
[HTC Inspire 4G] di11igaf:
1- rooting is the hardest /most dangerous part(not that its dangerous, but its more dangerous than flashing a rom/kernel simply cause your flashing a radio). Flashing a rom is simple/safe. After you root don't not flash a rom cause you think its dangerous or you'll brick your phone-you wont.

2- I haven't made a nandroid backup ever. If you soft brick your phone, knowing adb is way more important than a backup. I've bricked my phone probably more than everybody in this thread x50, adb saves me everytime. Even if the computer wont see your phone when it boots, 99.9% of the time it will see it when in recovery, so this is what will really save you. Reboot the phone to recovery, use adb to fix whatever broke from the mod/whatever you just did.

(I'm not saying don't make backups, I'm saying learn adb - it can more likely save your ass than anything. Learn it)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
Good advice....I need to take the time to do that.....

Asking on behalf of some friends from work after they got their updates tonight. They are running unrooted only thing not stock is they were both using go launcher or launcher pro. After the update they cant see the new blur launcher. I went through and cleared there defaults and after pressing home it is not even shown in the list to select it. Any ideas? Was thinking factory reset but if it isnt showing in the list I would think it isnt there.
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
What list are you talking about? Go to settings > privacy > factory reset
[Droid X General] adamboyd83:
When no default is set and pressing home. Didnt even see it in the manage application list. One of them was wanting to do a reset anyways so Im sure she has done so already.
[Droid X General] DRTMI:
I recall seeing somewhere that GB automatically makes 3rd party launchers default. If they really want to see the new GB launcher they will have to uninstall LP or golauncher. Not sure about golauncher but launcher pro has a backup feature in the settings of LP.
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
They can install Home Switcher for Froyo from the Market and use it to launch the default launcher.

I've tried every version of Netflix I can find (modded, device check removed, stock), can't get any to work. I'm rooted running altered beast rom v4.
[Verizon Droid Charge] r00t beer:
I saw another method for Netflix. If you're rooted you can edit the build.prop file to make it look like you have a different supported device. I haven't tried this. It seems like a hassel and I'm not very confident it would work.

This is in preparation for a working CWM, so that we can get started right away.

The point of this is just to provide deodexed files to users wanting to create their own ROMs and play around with their devices.

.. Just a heads up

Also for this ROM, its not deodexed correctly, a few days ago when i first had CWM working i replaced the script with an edify one and it flashed, but after boot animations i got a black screen and the 3 vibration (force closes). at that point, i had to Odin to stock cause i couldnt reflash CWM since this ROM doesnt have the modded recovery to allow the update.zip to flash .

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lynx101:
I finished installing Darky's 10.1 Extreme Mod onto my Samsung Galaxy S the other day, and since then I have not had any connection to a 3G network.

I live in Australia and my phone carrier is Virgin Mobile running on the Optus Network. Before I flashed over from a Voodoo Lag Fixed stock 2.2, 3G worked fine.

I have checked in the wireless and networks setting to make sure the phone is set to "Use packet data" under mobile networks (Data roaming is turned off), but it makes no difference. I have also turned packet data off and on to make sure. Network Mode is set to GSM/WCDMA (auto mode). During setup for Darky's Rom, I left the Modem to defualt settings, JQ1 or something.

I'm not sure what I have broken but I'd love some help getting 3G back. It is very limiting to what a good smart phone can do.

I looked up the APN settings for Virgin Mobile Australia and entered them into the phone but when I saved the new APN it didn't appear in the list. Just gone.

I inserted the SIM Card into an unmodified Samsung Galaxy TAB in which I have used this SIM card in the past. Still can't get 3G on the TAB, and there was no settings in the APN section. Could be a problem with the SIM card?
