Hi

Look into the google play store, search for "check root" there are apps who could tell you.

But If you have a terminal app installed simply open it and type in "su" if you get a prompt asking for root/su permissions you are rooted. If you get something like "command not found" or similar then you aren't.

Well you should avoid to re-root unless you use the same rooting method as before. That means if you used guide X then you could root again by guide X but not by guide A. Hope you got what I mean. The reason for this is that rooting with different methods can result in 2 different rooting apps installed like supersu and superuser which are co-existing then. And this can result in strange behaviour.

Rooting means that you install a "su" app within /system partiton which is normally not possible for a normal user. That said you need to hijack Android/the device to make that possible and that is what you will do when rooting. Afterwards when an app asking for root permission you will get a popup asking for it.

sediROM is already rooted (you can choose within the installer if you either want to have it rooted or not) but you will need to have TWRP recovery installed to be able to install sediROM. Read the instructions in my thread carefully and before anything else follow the backup instructions (nandroid + EFS)!!

If you want to install sediROM you can choose partial wipe or full wipe. I would recommend a full one in your case to be sure that you have only 1 su app installed. Unfortunately that means you will loose apps and configs so I would (beside the nandroid + EFS backups) also do a backup of all your apps wit "mybackup root"(only possible if you're already rooted of course) or titanium backup which will cost some money if not rooted but it is a very good backup app. In both cases ensure that you not backup the app only but also the "data".

If you are not rooted yet you could try the partial wipe when installing sediROM. As always you should backup before here too.

Regarding you last question: Unfortunately the polish language is not enabled in sediROM (German,English,Espanol and some japanese/chinese ones) but you could add a feature request to my sediROM thread ( look there at the top in the menu and click on feature request ) if you like.

Regardless of which ROM you will install now I hope that was helpful for you a little bit regarding background etc ;)

Here is a working tun.ko for VPN connections that is compatible with CM9 Alpha 11 (Koush's latest ROM). For AnyConnect, use terminal emulator to copy to /data/local/kernel_modules (you will have to create this directory). You can also try running "insmod <tun.ko location>" from terminal emulator. Remember to run "su" before doing either of these.
[Nexus S General] zeusx:
Hello, I use ES file manager copy "tun.ko" This files to /data/local/kernel_modules directory, restart the system (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1363765) Re connect the vpn,is fails, where do I wrong?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] demonhater:
So I was all rooted. I had Go Launcher, Market, and Swiftkey all working awesomely. My NT life was good. Then Swiftkey started throwing up errors. So I went to Any Cut to find a shortcut to Swiftkey's settings. There was like 8 settings under activities but not a specific Swiftkey settings. So I created shortcuts to the 8 settings and thought I would try them all and maybe one was for swiftkey.

When I clicked on the second settings shortcut the NT through up an error that stated there was an authorization error and the tablet would reset. When the tablet restarted it forced a wipe to factory settings. I thought...that sucks...but whatever I'll start over.

When the tablet had finished and restarted It started to go through the setup screens as one might expect. However, Swiftkey is apparently still selected as the keyboard and the NT keeps giving the Swiftkey force close errors. I can't enter in my registration info because I haven't an effin' keyboard. I didn't have usb debugging turned on so I don't think I can use adb to remove swiftkey. Although, I've never really used ADB unless I'm rooting and following very specific instructions from one of these forums.

Is there a way to bypass the initial registration and sign in crud so I can install root explorer and remove Swiftkey?

Sorry for the long story. Hopefully someone will have a suggestion on how to fix this.

Thanks in advance.

tldr- NT hard reset and now stuck without keyboard because Swiftkey was still selected and Swift key won't work during initial registration....argh!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] MrColdbird:
Tip the screen corners starting top left in clockwise motion.

http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Factory_Mode/Skip_Out_of_Box_Experience

This has worked for people to skip registering their device good luck god bless.

I did test this method when i got t the last prompt to skip Oobe(out of the box experience) I did get a force close error. However I just reopened the menu by hitting the volume up and the lower right portion of the screen. The Oobe button came back up and i clicked it with success, bypassing the registration.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] demonhater:
Well I was able to bypass the Nook Experience BS...Thanks for the tip! But I still didn't have a keyboard to download any apps from the browser. So I created an epub file with Callibre that contained web addresses of all the software I needed to get rid of Swiftkey from system/app. I then transfered the epub to the nook...opened it with Nook's reader....selected a web address....and did a google lookup from within the reader. I was able to download and install what I needed, and it worked. All Better.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] yaggermr:
I think what you did is really smart( never mind the semi brick part) and important. This could help out a lot of people that lose keyboard access or other issues that occur. Using the nook reader with google search was a great way around your problem.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] durel86:
SwiftKey force closes on me randomly and will not stop until I re-run the apk inside /System/App again but after that it works fine for awhile. I wonder if it's just SwiftKey because I haven't tried any other keyboards yet
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] demonhater:
I've noticed several keyboards don't stick after a reboot. Thickbuttons and Hackers seems to be the only 2 I've tried that do stick.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] demonhater:
The scary part was that the NT forced a random wipe on it's own after a quick error about "authorization."
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] yaggermr:
Sorry didn't know about the authentification error and I was joking about the semi brick part. I just thought your recovery method could help somebody out of semi brick hell.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] demonhater:
No need to say sorry. I knew you were joking. And hopefully, it will help someone else.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamethu1:
Can somebody helps me, i have a xoom MMZ 601, i have rooted and the internal memory goes down to 4.11G, i flashed the stock rom but nothing changes, it's still 4.11 G. i don't know why ???
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
This was addressed in your post in the General section.
[HTC Rezound] pwrdbykyank:
I didnt like the black on black look of the door with the logo on the same backround color, so i took the letters out and painted them maroon red with spray paint and put them back. They are held together original with double tape, but if your going to do it, take it off very careful with a razr, they break easy.. (i broke the h and T but doesnt really show lol)
[HTC Rezound] DrSadistic:
This just shows that little things go a long way in making this phone even sexier than it is.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
I wouldn't do this, but it looks good and is how it should have been done
[HTC Rezound] triton302:
^ I agree, you would think they'd do this since they're already going for a black/red theme anyway.

I would do this but I keep a case on my phone at all times, so no point in the end. But does look much better though!
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
i may end up doing it one day i like the look of it
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
That does look pretty good. They should have made it that way to begin with.
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
Not pink like the 4 buttons at the bottom?

Also, it'd be more work then it's worth, but rather then removing the HTC letters you could also carefully place masking tape all around them & leave them on while you spray paint.

Oh wait.. The whole battery backing... Spray paint the entire thing like shiny silver or something.... Or the entire phone shiny silver(minus the screen/buttons ofcourse.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
Dude, I'd you hate the phone that much, go back to the bolt....
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
All I've seen you do is just bash the phone again and again LOL. Just drop the damn thing and get the Prime or RAZR :rolleyes:.
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
You guys thought i was bashing it from the spray painting comment?... heh... Actually, i think it would be cool to customize it in such a way(or any phone for that matter). If i was confident in my spray painting abilities id give it a go.

p.s. the pink buttons are cool to (i did used to have a Toyota Supra that was heavily "riced out" w/ a custom 2 tone candy pink paint job & rims painted green... the pink buttons on the phone made me laugh & remember the car).
[HTC Rezound] pwrdbykyank:
i would paint the phone but its never like factory, they use special adhesion stuff and ya ive painted phones before but never comes out perfect specially rubber ones dont stick they come off easy. But yea the logos come off easy too so not to hard to just take off and paint
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
i'm thinking it would be cool to paint around the edges of the phone itself, just cover the screen with something....

as for the back cover, since it is rubber... the antenna parts... i wonder if it'd be possible to just temporarily remove them & then dunk the back cover into some sort of 'flexible' paint meant for rubber materials & coat it in primer to.

i think i'm going to test on one of my old Thunderbolt cases
[HTC Rezound] gbmitchell:
C'mon man. The Razr is thin but it is not that thin.
[HTC Rezound] pwrdbykyank:
lol i dont know about you, but i was able to easily remove mine with a razr. Use an exacto knife if you want.
[HTC Rezound] gbmitchell:
I think you spend too much time on these forums...

Razr:

Razor:
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
+10 thanks if you post a pic of yourself trying to shave with a RAZR
[HTC Rezound] gbmitchell:
I'll see if I can get the Razr I gave my buddy and make your dreams come true. The only thing is, you didn't say what you wanted me to be shaving...

[Android Software Development] guyenxda000:
I created listView item which contain list using following command and watched it working:

lv1=(ListView)findViewById(R.id.listView_entries);

setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_multiple_choice, PENS));

However, I wonder if it is possible to have it attribute so that

clicking on single item will move to another activity, however clicking on the checkbox will highlight the listitem without moving to another activity?

Currently, I implemented onclick function on listView so that clicking on any item will go to another activity. However, does clicking on the checkbox on each item.

Thanks,
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
I'm not sure I follow you completely on this, but it should do what you want if you supply an OnClickHandler for the checkbox. You may need to expand the padding on the checkbox control to ensure that you hit it and not the list entry around it.
[Android Software Development] guyenxda000:
hey i think i found a solution to this, i found it in the pro android training manual. i will post once i am able to integrate into my code. thx.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jfdebo779:
Very nice work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Admiralj21:
Thanks man
[Motorola Photon 4G] ClearFire:
One of my co-workers has the photon so I unlocked and gave him a custom ROM, and your themed dialers was the perfect touch. Good work!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Admiralj21:
Thanks man, glad to hear it. Its things like this that make all the work worthwhile. I am working on a clear dialer now as well, so I can make custom and interchangeable backgrounds!;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Admiralj21:
New Dialers!!! Check 'em out. Still working on putting more together.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Admiralj21:
New Tennessee Titans Dialer!

Update: Added Cowboys and Patriots Dialers
[Motorola Photon 4G] jfdebo779:
Nice. Just downloaded the Steelers dialer for my theme. Keep up the good work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Admiralj21:
Thanks, let me know if you need anything more specific...I can put a dialer together that matches your theme more closely. I can even see about putting together a phone apk as well. Right now, of course, I only have the dialers.

EDIT: I have a dialer that fits your theme more closely, still working on it...

EDIT: Steelers Dialer updated, didn't really like the first one, I think this one is a lot better
[Motorola Photon 4G] TexasRebel:
How about a Texas Rangers themed black except for the Rangers logo dialer?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jfdebo779:
Loving the steelers dialer. My friends are jealous.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Admiralj21:
Lol, thats what I like to hear, they are gonna be really jealous when you flash the updated one haha.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Admiralj21:
Yeah sure man, I'll work on it. You wanted the Rangers logo to stay its normal color right?
[Motorola Photon 4G] TexasRebel:
Yea but like with black behind it...and maybe greyish white numbers/highlights idk put your touch on it Bubba lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] Admiralj21:
Ok, just finished it. Let me know what you think and i'll make changes. I haven't figured out how to change the numbers yet, but i'm definitely working on figuring it out.
[Motorola Photon 4G] TexasRebel:
Waitin on upload Bubba ;))
[Motorola Photon 4G] Admiralj21:
Ok, just uploaded it, check it out :cool:

edit: place a call, the phone is themed as well.
[Motorola Photon 4G] TexasRebel:
Bootloop...flashed with cwm...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Admiralj21:
Hmmm, that's strange. It flashed on mine; let me check out the script. If I can't get it right now i'll work on it tomorrow. Sorry about that
[Motorola Photon 4G] Admiralj21:
what are you running, ext3 or ext4?
[Motorola Photon 4G] TexasRebel:
Ext3 i believe...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Admiralj21:
Ok, let me try something, and i'll re-upload
[Motorola Photon 4G] Admiralj21:
Ok, uploaded new copy with a little mod to the script. Try to flash and let me know. If it doesn't work let me know as well and I will look into into tomorrow. I'm super tired now lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] ceasernem:
How about a green bay packers dialer!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Admiralj21:
Yeah sure man, I wanted to do a Green Bay dialer too
[Motorola Photon 4G] Admiralj21:
Just finished the Packers Dialer, testing and getting ready to upload.

EDIT: Packers Dialer uploaded...Enjoy!
[Motorola Photon 4G] glock20c:
How bout NY Giants...and /or NY yankees

Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] Admiralj21:
Sure, I'll release it soon...I'm working on updating the current dialers as well because not all of them have the BlurPhone apk done.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ninditsu:
the sports ones look like they make it harder to see what you are dialing. thanks for the black stock dialer though.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Admiralj21:
Yeah, im working on how to get the black numbers for the lighter dialers
[Motorola Photon 4G] gothymp:
I would love a US Army Themed Dialer.... or US Army Military Police Dialer.....

If you get around to it thank you very much.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Admiralj21:
No problem man I'm gonna start working on these tomorrow
[Motorola Photon 4G] gothymp:
Any luck on the dialer? any way I can help?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Admiralj21:
Sorry about the delay guys...things got really busy for me lately. I'll try to release one this evening.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Admiralj21:
Ok I just released the New York Yankees Dialer...Enjoy! I will continue to work on the others this week.
[Motorola Photon 4G] foxsdaddy67:
how about a st louis cardinals or blues one? :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] TexasRebel:
How bout the black and white themed Texas Rangers logo dialer and phone apk? ;P

Edit-with the logo themed black and white also that is ;)

[Motorola Photon 4G] Admiralj21:
I apologize greatly to everyone that I promised a dialer to and have yet to deliver. I had some issues with my machine, and I lost some vital programs required in making the dialers as I do. As well as school keeping me crazy busy, and dialers take a few hours to customize to certain specifications. I should be releasing some next week during spring break to those first that I promised, as I will have time. Thanks to everyone for the support here, it never goes without appreciation

[HTC Sensation] Jedi2011:
Hi all,

If you need to reset your sensation just hold vol+, vol- and power together and keep them held until the phone reboots - usually a couple of seconds.

Much easier than pulling the back off and removing the battery.

Mod - please add to the stickies.
[HTC Sensation] shiningarmor:
bull****. u cant hold power + and - at the same time. the rocker will break
[HTC Sensation] naimmkassim:
No, it will not. This is normal procedure for all htc smartphone for reset!!
[HTC Sensation] shiningarmor:
all? im not sure whether if it's all.. my incredible s cant do that. it felt as if the rockers are going to break lol
[HTC Sensation] ilostchild:
Yea not all HTC the vision is sensor pad and power, but the 2 volume is common and will not break either Samsung phones use same key combo
[HTC Sensation] ccs16rocks:
Tested and working. Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] Jump1ng:
Indeed working fine, tested and restarted the phone about 5s after i pressed the buttons.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
This doesnt always work, but will most of the time. Last night I had to pull the battery since this method wasnt working. Its worth a try before doing a battery pull though.

Matt
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Another method is to just use ADB commands to reboot or reboot into recovery. IE: adb reboot or adb reboot recovery.

I had to do this when recovery stops responding.
[HTC Sensation] N10AP:
Ummm... By the time you have counted to 5 and hoping the phone resets, you could have clicked back off, pulled batt and clicked cover back on.

If you are quick :p
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Just tried it - works pretty well. Thanks for the tip.
[HTC Sensation] Jedi2011:
If you look in this section, there are people losing their volume rockers or disturbing the connections between battery cover and body by repeatedly removing and refitting the battery cover.

This way, there's no risk to the phone.

Plus, you can reset the phone easily if it's inside a case.

You're welcome to keep pulling the back off though if it makes you happy.
[HTC Sensation] a4ol:
Why the foul language?? Its working great...

DUDE, do you even have an HTC Sensation???? :confused::confused:
[HTC Sensation] john21511:
Worked on mine. Thanks for the tip.
[HTC Sensation] 22VIN:
Do you have a Sensation? Did you see how the cover looks? Don't you think that removing it frequently will cause damage?

Oh yeah, and removing it is really "fast" and "convenient" if you use a gel case.
[HTC Sensation] N10AP:
Wow take a chill pill mate! Only having a joke!

Yes I do have a Sensation. It has a lovely screen protector on it, it is rooted / running ARHD and it has one of them clicky leather pouches that you get for £2.50 off Donington Market. More to the point, I have been repairing Steve Jobs equipment for erm... Years now!

Low post count doesn`t imply that the person is a muppet! Indeed, you could learn a thing or two my friend in Bucharest...

:rolleyes:

Some phones are not designed to be hard resetted in the way the OP describes, but yes it is an excellent tip.
[HTC Sensation] Jedi2011:
My post doesn't mention any other phones and is only posted in this section, so I'm only talking about the Sensation. I haven't tried this on any other device so I can't say if it works on any other phone.

All I said is it's an easier way of performing a hard reset on a HTC Sensation or HTC Sensation XE without removing any parts.

I'm no expert, I'm just sharing a tip I found. Use it, don't use it, it's absolutely fine by me whatever anyone chooses to do.

Chill, people.
[HTC Sensation] Tachion81:
+1 This is working great at sensation and let's stay at it.
[HTC Sensation] BMW_530_PL:
Thanks, almost saves lifes heheh. Pulling the back cover can be a pain sometimes.
[HTC Sensation] vince25:
Thank you for the tip, works fine.
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
Ok this should make post #21, thus starting page 3 of this thread. I have been following this thread just to see where it went. And I have been holding off posting here. But I have to go with kpjimmy on this topic. By far WEb is the best way to reset your device if something unexpected happens and you need to reset. The commands adb reboot or adb reboot recovery are two of my most used adb commands. :p

If you do not know about ADB or are unfamiliar with ADB. I highly you download the Android SDK and intstall it so you can learn. The Android Debug Bridge know as ADB is something I think every Android device owner should know how to use. If you run I.to trouble installing ADB or just would like a guide, just do a good search here on XDA or a Google search adb it is plenty of them out there. My best advice though is to make "adb help" your first command you try with ADB. Also the help command works with fastboot also as well as other aspects od ADB.

Edit: Opps I got beat out for post #21. Guess I shouldn't have taken so long to make my post.
[HTC Sensation] N10AP:
ADB wins... :D
[HTC Sensation] mattjorgs:
Great tip! Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] moto211:
I'm glad the three finger salute was finally figured out for the sensation. Every HTC phone I've owned had a three finger salute of some sort (even my winmo wizard). I figured it was only a matter of time before we figured it out too. I still prefer adb when its convenient but the three finger salute can be done when driving. Much easier to take my hands off the wheel for five seconds without having to look at the phone then it is to take my seidio active off and try to do a battery pull.
[HTC Sensation] stoke234:
Thanks for this!! My case is so hard to take off and is a pain when I have to keep pulling the battery. Wish I would've known this yesterday when I was switching between roms...
[HTC Sensation] Kaym69:
I have my Sensation now for about 4 month, it's rooted and s-off and i switched between a couple of custom Rom's.

I am happy that my device just one single time was unresponsive so i had to pull battery, not knowing about the other possibilities.

I thank you for this tip and i will try it when the time comes.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pvas:
Hi all

Can I get back to Windows 6.5 from Android and how? It's NAND.

Thanks in advance.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Yes you can as a quick search would have told you, don't be so lazy. Just boot into bootloader and flash the ROM.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pvas:
I tryed quick search, but didn't find nothing about it. Thank you.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mutil:
just dowload an official rom (of course for htc hd2) from HTC's site, then go into bootloader mode(three coloured screen), then flash it.
