Only applications that need administrative root access.

Things like CPU overclocking, underclocking, and wifi tethering are most common.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Titanium backup needs root, it can be used to back up your apps and data, as well as call logs/sms. It's also pretty common

Dear friends, I have xt862 verizon usa, friends my phone have sim lock, and ii need unlocked,I flashed chine rom xt883 and my phone is unlocked? Because. Chine rom is haven't simlock?

please help me I need unlocked rom
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
If you flash the 883 ROM and build.prop then it will work. The SIM card slot has to be unlocked following directions from a SIM unlock code dealer. I used unlock4moto.com.
[Motorola Droid 3] Joe_PDA:
Does the XT883 have a Gorilla Glass display? I know the Droid 3 does.
[Motorola Droid 3] RWALEY:
I no longer have the XT883 but when I did both phones seemed identical in every way. The look. feel, and durability was identical.

I am sure the same assembly process was used.
[Motorola Droid 3] Joe_PDA:
Thanks for your reply. Hopefully it is.

Funny that even Motorola can't tell me the answer.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dakkaron:
I have an XT860 and use it in Austria.

Rooting was no problem, the phone came unlocked, so I can't say anything about that. The battery lasts me through a day and a half of regular usage (or like 2-3 hours of playing ingress). The only issue I have is a random lockup and/or reboot once or twice a day.

@RWALEY: You say the XT860 is completely different from the XT862? What are the differences?
[G2 and Desire Z General] itm:
I recently rooted my UK Desire Z and flashed Cyanogenmod 7.0.3. Since then it has spontaneously rebooted itself quite alot, usually when connecting to the car power supply, pressing the power button or accessing the phone dialer. I've tried flashing the Pershoot kernel but it hasn't got any more stable.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi, i'm thinking on buy this Htc Original Case for my Desire S, but i can find only this image on all kind on web-sites i searched, no one video or a photo with this case on the smartphone.

Can somebody help me posting some different photoes of this, maybe a video? Thanks a lot!
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
i looked around the internet and saw this case on mobile fun:

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/official-htc-desire-s-tp-c580-tpu-skin-p29231.htm

It says it's the official htc case and has 2 good reviews. Doesn't seem to look like the case in your picture though.

I didn't even know htc made cases though! I thought they only made pouches.
[HTC Desire S] yas87:
is the same site where i found the case i ask for, is under productors htc, i can't post external link yet, but is on sale on the same web-site you linked, but there is only the picture i posted, i can't find out how is when applied on the DS and of what materials is made (appear to be in cloth over the first strate of plastic, or polycarbonate idk)

then again, no one have bought this case for a little review? :)

p.s. there is also on htc shop
[HTC Desire S] yas87:
i checked again on htc shop, the exact code is HC C580 and the description say:

so maybe is made of something like cloth, but i can't still figure out how it cover the DS.

Still waiting for a Review ^^

[HTC Desire S] harshs23:
As there not being many branded options available in India, I have ordered almost all kinds available on eBay India, including a few screen protectors.

Fake capdase is all over the market but pathetic quality.

Don't really like the silicone kinds, they attract too much dust and if it's a black one, God help you keeping the dust and fibres off!!!

The mesh ones without protection for the top and bottom corners is useless.

Then came the Amzer soft rubberized plastic case, have been using since 3 months and has served well during the 2 accidental drops. Full all around protection. :)

Have a matte finish screen protector on as of now, helps cut the glare down and improve visibility in daylight but the screen looks very dull if brightness is turned down. Good thing is it does not smear & stain with fingerprints and is actually scratch proof.

Tried the most expensive indian branded scratchgard screen protector but was crap, too much glare and scratched all over within the first couple of days.

Pics attached.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Kakarot:
Alright, first off.... I have been a big fan of android since my nexus one/desire/nexus s and galaxy s II.... for the most part, I was use to having to root/rom the devices to get them where I wanted them.... but then the galaxy s II came out and was amazing stock IMO (even though I still rooted, rom/overclocked) :)

I also read a lot of good things about the galaxy tab, as I did with the Gs2.... so when I seen it, I bought it....

Well, for the first time ever... I am seriously regretting my decision. This device is sub par IMO, last night... I watch my angry bird skip across the screen at a horrible rate? I turned off anything in the background and it still did not help, a reboot did help... but that seems a little over the top.

I check for updates OTA and via kies and it says I have none....

So, does anyone have any tweaks or fixes to make this tab as good as it should be?

Does using a custom rom, give me the performance I am looking for and remove lag entirely?

Any suggested roms?

I am sure this has been posted a few times by now, but I want my specific questions answered, you will be thanks accordingly :P

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stiefa00:
If have the Wifi Tab10.1 since Friday now. I'm root on my device and I installed already a customrom: StarBust with UEKME.

But for me the tablet is still "laggy" and "not so smooth to handle" like I thought it woulb be on a Tegra dualcore CPU. On Stock it's the same. I'm downloading Task's ROM now and will test this ROM.

What I think is "not so smooth": open app drawer, browsing market, scrolling webpages, switching homescreens... I'm a little bit disappointed for now, but maybe because I'm used to the performance on my Nexus S with oxygen mod. Or maybe because tablets can't be as smooth as cellphones.

No rebooting problem, btw!

Hello, i almost finished my new theme for mdpi devices for cm7

Only thing i need to edit for now is text color in tabs

<image in attachments due 8 post limit>

I have no idea how to change it. Tried decompiling contact.apk but with no luck.

I also tried to copy colors.xml from other skin and put it in res/values/ (i used Zdunex25's Optimus2x theme as a base) but the skin does not have colors.xml file by default and im afraid that it does not read it somehow.
[Android Themes] Drewsipher:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack Shepard:
Hello!

I need to know how android phones handle applications being installed in them?

I didn't know if this is phone specific or software specific, so am posting it in both.

I own a Samsung Ace and hope to own an Xperia Play as well.

Now if I install an application, how can I make sure it goes to the SD card instead of the phones internal memory?

For example:

I recently installed Talking Tom Cat 2 on my Ace, when I opened it the first time, it asked me to download a few more files, only when I did I was able to use the application. After that I uninstalled the application using the Task Manager. But where do I delete the other package, or does it get deleted automatically?

Please reply soon.

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
In some cases it's phone specific and others, it's software specific. Before I explain this, the answer to your question about if the data is deleted automatically, is: for some games/apps, it is, and others, it's not. The data is usually stored on the sd card so you can check to see if you see a folder which was not there previously. Data for games are usually stored directly on the sd card, or the following folders: data/data, android/data, or gameloft/games. Phone's without an sd card slot will have the directory created for the data storage. Phone specific wise is explained in my previous sentence. Software specific wise is of course based on software. Certain roms allow you to choose the default location for apps to be installed to. On stock roms, apps are usually (if not always) installed directly to the internal memory and if the software is Android 2.2 (Froyo) or higher, you'll have the option to move some apps to the sd card.

[Atrix 4G General] Bender B. Rodgriguez:
If you aren't comfortable flashing a new rom and/or freezing system apps, give the "2x battery" app a try. It certainly is an improvement to the stock battery life.

I took my galaxy tab to a hotpot place without air conditioning, the air there was hot and humid, but galaxy tab went well, nothing wrong.... then I left the place without shutting down my GT, then, after about 10 minutes, I took out my tab again, it can't be awaken, nor shut down, it's just dead....so I went home, connect it to the charger, it's then turned on, with several irregular lines of white condensation under the screen, I assumed it may be caused by heat, should disappear automatically after several days, but that doesn't happen...one week after, it's still there and doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Tried the rice, the refrigerator, didn't work....hope someone can offer me a solution...

[Wildfire General] tomekpap:
I cannot post in Developer subforum as a newbie, but found out sth very useful:

1) Sense-fix - the really good method of correcting the issue with missing wallpapers etc. is to put the apk with sense wizard from Sense-fix thread to the zip package with the ROM we want to install (for instance Jokerdroid or RemPuzzle) than it just works and we still have A2SD (in Jokerdroid)

2) Trackball wake - it can be implemented in any ROM (i guess) when you copy all system/usr/keylayout that exist in Jokerdroid ROM into the zip with ROM you want to install before flashing (i think there's only one file more that makes the difference)

To assume - it's good to modify ZIP packages with ROMs before flashing to fix both issues :)

If i make any more improvements this way, I'll post it here.
