[Motorola Droid 3] dco717:
Can i unroot if necessarry

Is there a way yet
[Motorola Droid 3] AcidRoot:
If you don't install the su binary to /system/xbin all you have to do is reboot and the root access from adb is gone until you do the exploit again.
[Motorola Droid 3] dco717:
Wait so if i do the one click root can i unroot that
[Motorola Droid 3] AcidRoot:
You would have to delete the su binary from /system/xbin and uninstall superuser.apk for it to be considered unrooted.
[Motorola Droid 3] whoopsiedaisy:
wat if you factory reset it doesnt unroot

esp if you install superuser from the market, its in /data vs. /system right?

but that would leave /xbin intact right? so youd kinda be stuck rooted rofl idk
[Motorola Droid 3] AcidRoot:
I'm not sure if a factory reset leave xbin intact or not but even if it did you could just adb in, use the exploit and remove su manually.
[Motorola Droid 3] tcrews:
Just keep in mind...SuperUser.apk is not root. You can install that on a non-rooted phone, it just doesn't do anything.

Root is su, having (s)uper(u)ser access to the system. SuperUser.apk is just your (you the user) control over what is granted su rights. Without the SuperUser.apk, anything and everything that wanted superusers permissions would have it, definitely something you don't want.

I'm not sure a factory reset would remove su from /system/xbin but it would remove SuperUser.apk from /data/app. This would mean you'd have no control over what apps would want to take superuser permissions and access your filesystem.

While you have superuser permissions...just delete the /system/xbin/su and reboot.

Root also doesn't prevent OTA updates.....though you will probably lose root after an OTA update and have to redo the exploit.

I have an HTC Inspire. I love the size of the screen and under normal circumstances am never unhappy with the picture quality. Until I use my buddys iPhone 4. No matter how much time has passed, everytime I pick up the IPhone it makes me feel bad about the quality of my screen.

Well the reason I am posting this here is because I have been patiently waiting for the sgs2 to come out here in America so that I can finally have a device with all the specs that I want. Most importantly the screen. I have never actually seen a Super Amoled Plus screen so I was hoping to get some insight.

I know the iPhone actually has a higher resolution, but the sub pixel density on the new Amoled Plus screens is higher. I just like the overal pop of the amoled screens in general and think it looks better than traditional displays. Can anyone who owns both devices give an honest opinion of which they think looks better quality wise.

It would be great to grab my buddys phone someday and say "meh, looks ok".

Not being rude.. But you have come to the galaxy s2 forum and are asking us whats better.... We all have galaxy s2's.. So you wont be getting any unbiased opinions around here...

I have compared my phone to a friends iphoney 4 and although his screen is quite crisp.. he is as sick as a dog about how bright and vibrant the gs2 screen is.. Not to mention this phone is so thin his feels like a brick...

Galaxy s2 everytime....
[Galaxy S II General] seh6183:
Damn. So I guess I can never ask a question in this forum that might be biased to another device? I think people are adult enough to admit when another product has them beat.

Either way thanks for the advice.

[Galaxy S II General] mgxplyr:
I just came from an iphone 4, and while the screen was my favorite thing about the iphone, i have had absolutely no regrets after switching the sgs2. Actually, i think the retina display is crap compared to the amoled. The colors are so much crisper and holding the screen a foot away from eyes will get you pretty close to the retina display effect.
[Galaxy S II General] Logi_Ca1:
I don't have an iPhone 4 myself, but here in Singapore enough people own them (90% of the population uses an iPhone 4 according to surveys), so I have plenty of contact with them. For me, the SAMOLED+ just slightly edges out the iPhone's retina display. The colours are fantastic, but I do love the pixel density on the retina too.

That said, as far as memory serves the retina display is not slouch at colours too. You want bad? Try the iPhone 3GS. The colours were GODAWFUL on that one.

I just hope that we will get SAMOLED+ Retina on a future Samsung device. And that might not be that far away, if the rumors of a 4.5 inch 720p SAMOLED+ is true.
[Galaxy S II General] reyza:
I came from the iPhone 4. I will say that the retina display is insane. Looking at HQ photos and video you cannot see one single pixel. SGS II comes close but you can spot pixels if you look close enough. It is very crisp and clear though and the brightness and color density more than makes up for it
[Galaxy S II General] jangomango:
Only a troll would come into a device specific forum and start coming out with **** like the iphone has the gs2 beat... Stick with the iphone.. your clearly one of 'them'....
[Galaxy S II General] Logi_Ca1:
Did you actually read his post? Nowhere does he claim that the iPhone 4 has the SGS2 beat.
[Galaxy S II General] blunted09:
He is asking an honest question. I have had both and there is no phone out there with a screen this vibrant. Add the screen size and nothing comes close.
[Galaxy S II General] jangomango:
What part of that snide statement did you miss brains..?
[Galaxy S II General] seh6183:
Lets keep it strictly to the display please. Obviously the sgs2 is far superior in almost every category, not to mention Android vs iOS in general.

That's you being insecure, I was making a blanket statement. I was saying people can come in and admit that the iPhone 4 screen can't be touched by anything. Even the sgs2.

Or they can say its a close call. As I can not compare the devices, I came here looking for people that could do it for me.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsimonetti:
Hey all. I've been struggling with sdcard issues running MIUI on my fascinate and I decided to try and format the sdcard from within CWM (4.0.0.5). It has been sitting at "Formatting /sdcard..." for the past 15 minutes. I'm trying to figure out if its actually still doing anything or if I should just pull the battery and try something else. How long does the format usually take? (its a 16g card). Thank you all in advance!

EDIT: So after waiting about 45 minutes I just pulled the battery. It doesnt recognize the SD card any more (big surprise -_-). Hopefully I dont have to buy a new card.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan450:
I always use my digital camera to format my sd cards. I have never tried formatting via cwm so I can't speak for that, but I have used my camera twice and it worked like a charm. I think you can also format by hooking your phone up to a PC and formatting it via windows but I have never tried that either.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sageDieu:
Yeah I agree with the above, usually devices other than the device you actually want to use the card with will do a better job. Put the card in a camera, computer, Wii, something else that can format and then use them to format completely and then use the phone to format the card to whatever it needs and it should work correctly.
[Atrix 4G General] armonwilson888:
I am sad to say I will be leaving the at&t and regretfully the ATRIX. I really think this phone would not be nowhere near as good as it is without the dev community this phone has. I am not leaving the ATRIX because I want to because I don't, but because the carrier that the phone is attached to has felt that they need to cancel my unlimited data without notice due to too much usage, and not be change it back to what I signed in contract, I can no longer afford it. I was currently working on a base rom as a dev platform for others to use and hopefully encourage and speed the process of others planning on new roms.I try to contribute where I can and I know I haven't contributed much, but I will continue this project and try to release it soon in hopes it will help someone else out. I guess what I want to say is thank you to this community for furthering my education of this platform and android in general. The ATRIX forums will be missed. If anyone is having any troubles with trying to do something pm me I will come back and hang out every once in a while. ;)

[Verizon Droid Charge] xceebeex:
Well I think Incipio now has the perfect case. Initially what drew most people away from the Incipio was the lack of a cutout for the HDMI port. I decided that I liked the design and amount of protection of the Silicrylic and that the covered HDMI port didn't bother me so I decided to order one off of ebay.

It just came in today and when I opened it up, it had the cutout for the HDMI port. So apparently Incipio must have recently redesigned the case and I must have gotten one of the newer ones.

I put the case on the phone and it is perfect IMO. I love the fit and there is nothing about it that I would change. I went with the Gray/White one. I can try and get some pics up at some point.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Yep. I went with the black/black. I got it yesterday. I love it, except my HDMI is blocked. Maybe I got an older version.

Sent from my Droid Charge running GummyFroyo 1.9.1
[Verizon Droid Charge] xceebeex:
Ah, that kinda sucks. Even with the HDMI port blocked the case is awesome. I guess I must have got a very recent release. Where did you order yours from?

I actually ordered it from a store on ebay and something got screwed up with the shipping so they refunded the money and said they would send me one for free when they got them back in from their vendor. So I actually didn't expect to get one since they cancelled the transaction and refunded my money so I ordered another one from someone else.

Then when I got home from work today it was sitting in our mailbox from the first company. So I have another one coming in pretty soon (still the gray/white) that I will probably sell. I wonder if the other one that is supposed to come in will have the port cut out or not.

I got mine from Amazon. They had them cheaper than I could find anywhere else.

[Verizon Droid Charge] moondrius:
Thanks a lot for this post. I am going to order another one. I love my Trident Cyclops but it is a little bulky for my needs. I had the silicrylic case when it was first released and sent it right back. Now that they revised it with an hdmi cutout this case has a lot more potential.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xceebeex:
No problem. Like I said, I think this now is the perfect case (unless you truly need something where you can throw it off a building and survive).

Here is a picture just to show you guys I am not crazy or making it up (sorry for the crappy pic, I just took it real quick):
[Verizon Droid Charge] moondrius:
It looks like a small cutout, can you actually open it up enough to fit the cable in? Also where did you buy it from? I am looking to order one soon.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xceebeex:
Yes the door opens and it looks like there is plenty of room to get a cable in there since the connector doesn't look any bigger than the usb connection but I don't have a cable to try.

Here is a pic with the door open:

I got it from these guys on ebay:

http://www.ebay.com/sch/cellularboys/m.html?_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1

I am not sure if they got any more in to put on their ebay store yet, but they obviously sent me mine. I would definitely recommend them because they made sure to make it right for me even though it was a shipping screw up. The part number on the package is SA-149. I am not sure if they would have created a new number for the ones with the cutout or not though.
[Verizon Droid Charge] moondrius:
They have none in stock but I am going to look around tomorrow. Thanks again.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xceebeex:
Sure, no problem. Good luck!
[Verizon Droid Charge] jmorton10:
I got one of these cases in the mail yesterday that I ordered directly from their website thinking that way I would get the latest version. The one they sent me has no HDMI port hole.......

I'm not thrilled with the case as it collects pocket lint just as badly as my otterbox commuter does.

I guess I will keep using the shiny black silicone case I got from VZ. That collects no lint at all and it also easier to take on/off for battery swaps.

~John
[Verizon Droid Charge] xceebeex:
Sorry to hear that. The second case that I ordered was the one with the HDMI port covered as well. So I must have got pretty lucky with the redesigned one. I don't notice it collecting lint at all, but that may be because the silicone part is white so it may just hide it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Mine doesn't collect lint either. Maybe you have dirty pockets :) however the back portion is collecting fingernail scratches like crazy.

[Verizon Droid Charge] jmorton10:
LOL, yea maybe that's the problem but the only case I have that doesn't collect lint AT ALL is the hard shiny black silicone case I got right from VZ.

That is also the easiest case to get on/off to swap batteries.

I have the incipio and an otterbox commuter & I love both of them, but they both collect lint which drives me nuts.......

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArgamanZa:
Hey,

I'm new to android and i have used this forums a lot,

But now after i've searched for like several hours (Both here and in google..) for a solution and haven't found it i decided to sign up and ask it...

I'm using "Minimal Text" widget for my lockscreen (WidgetLocker)

and i want to add a Unread SMS Count number,

I Understood i need to create a Locale Variable for this one and read the tutorial on the "Minimalistic Text Wiki".

I Must add i'm also a complete noob with the "Tasker" app and just downloaded it for this particular use of creating a Variable.

The problem is, even after reading and doing exactly what the tutorial says,

And even trying to create a Variable manually in Tasker i just can't display it on the Minimal text widget no matter how much i try..

What could be the problem?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c0m47053:
Are you setting the minimalistic text variable? For example, on your text received profile you should have two actions. The first sets a variable, lets say %SMSUNREAD. The second is Minimalistic Text variable, under plugins. For this you configure the variable name to be something else (%MNMLSMSUNREAD for example) and the content is %SMSUNREAD. You then configure Minimalistic text to use %MNMLSMSUNREAD.

Also you need to make sure Tasker is selected in Settings>Accessibility as an Accessibility Service.

Lastly, there seems to be reported issues with Tasker and deodexed roms. Are you running a custom Rom?

Hope that helps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArgamanZa:
First of all thanks for the reply,

I noticed i Don't have tasker checked on Accessibility, Neither "Accessibility" checked.

I've checked them both but still, it doesn't show the amount of unread SMS...

here is what i have:

Tasker -

"New SMS" profile:

Received Text,*,* -

Variable Set "%SMSCOUNT" to "%SMSCOUNT + 1"

Minimalistic Text variable settings "%MNMLSMSCOUNT = %SMSCOUNT"

"Reset SMS" profile:

Messages (stock android messages app) -

Variable Set "%SMSCOUNT" to "0"

Minimalistic Text variable settings "%MNMLSMSCOUNT = %SMSCOUNT"

And of course a locale variable in the Minimalistic Text widget of "%MNMLSMSCOUNT" but still, Shows nothing.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArgamanZa:
I have just done some testing with Tasker and it seems like Nothing i try work,

For example i made a new profile with the task of showing some custom notification when i receive SMS,

or Display a popup when i turn my BT on, and Nothing happens....

What can i do to make tasker even work?!

PS. in my notifications bar i have "No Active Profiles" under tasker although it's all On...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArgamanZa:
Alright just wanted to update you, got it to work,

Well i just made it from the beginning Not following the tutorial,

Instead of the "%Variable + 1" i used the "Variable Add" oprion and WITHOUT the "Do Math" check.
