Basically, non-permanent root will add su binary to the ramdisk, which is wiped after reboot. It is useful for one-time-only root, for administrative purposes, or for 'hard-rooting', in which another su binary is pushed to the phone, this time to /system partition. This one will not be lost after reboot, and your phone will stay rooted.

Duplicate, delete me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Yumunum:
Would you see any problem with me using the international version of the Note without rooting or using custom ROMs? Are there any annoyances you're experiencing with the stock ROM? Will Samsung actually update this device for atleast a year? My U.S. Samsung devices never got updates, but that might've been mostly the carrier's fault :P
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tahpics:
Unrooted note?

I haven't rooted my note yet, and I don't have any complaints. To be honest, I really don't see a reason to root it, at least not until a functional ICS ROM is available for it. As for the updates, the main update we're looking for is ICS which I'm hearing may not be available until April though.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] CGI_Ram:
Ive not rooted my international Note either.

Love it!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] senectus:
I've rooted mine only... but to be honest I only did it out of habit.

I don't think I've actually used root for anything and will only use it to install ICS if CM9 hits before the samsung release.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
I'm only rooted. Nothing more.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gazzz:
I'm just rooted and CWM'd... Until either a semi-stable full featured CM7 port comes out, or even better, a CM9 port, I can tough it out waiting. One thing is for sure though.

I WILL GET TOUCHWIZ OFF THIS DEVICE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

It's slow, it's laggy, the home button takes a CRIMINALLY long time to return to my homescreen from just about every app... it's the worst.

Samsung Galaxy NoteNexus. That'll do =)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sahiltyagi:
Same here , didn't root it yet and loving it but would definitely would root it to tell the difference in two....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] willstay:
I haven't rooted it yet. I see no point. I used to root for taking snapshot in previous Androids. With GS2, I rooted to install few custom fonts. The only reason if I will ever need to root Note would be to install AdFree but screen is so big I don't mind few space taken away by ad and morally if I am using free version, developer should earn something from ads.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hagba:
I didn't find a reason to root it either,I usually do it to install the Armenian fonts but the GNote came already installed.

The unit I have is fast and no lags so no worries in that front either.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] saumil@xda:
I have rooted neither. I would only consider when stop getting OS upgrade. I will wait for ICS till then have enough to enjoy.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] maxh:
I agree, that lag sucks!

The lag is caused by voice control. Voice control is activated by pressing the home button twice, so when you hit it once the phone waits awhile to see if you're going to hit it again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] holgalee:
I rooted though I told myself not to...I'm just hooked to it! :D

Seriously, I like freezing the bloatware and deleting stuff that take up unncessary space and also cause my phone to slow down. With ICS, I believe one can just delete the apps without rooting, which will be great.

Based on my experience with the Galaxy S and S2, ROMs are just not worth the effort for me, except for the very lightweight ones that are deodexed and not much more.

I believe you can use the phone unrooted, unless you have itchy fingers like me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
I am Rooted, as you know second most reading thread 'How to Root' i hav wrote, n i cant stop myself unrooted. But really i can say some must things you can define 'need' are such

- To use Titanium Backup(really itz boring jobe to restore all application n setting withot it)

- If your place dont support Google Navigation

- Use set CPU (really battery sucks without this

- N atleast for me 'Root call blocker'

More thn this i dont think any must use for root.

Even myself have wrote thread how to, but i hav not pushed CF root till to my device
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] senectus:
Incidentally if you use the superoneclick method of rooting there is an "unroot" feature built in as well.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Goonish:
I just singleclick rooted, so I could backup and freeze apps. None of the custom roms interest me yet.. Haven't installed cwr either.

Freezing voice control gets rid of the home button lag, good advice!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Raghav1980:
Dr Ketan,

Can you please elaborate on the following points:

1. "If your place dont support Google Navigation"

How does rooting your phone help getting Google Navigation to work? Navigation does not work in my area, so would be good if you could share some tips.

2. "Use set CPU (really battery sucks without this)"

Are you under clocking the CPU in order to get better battery life? Can you give more details on this? Won't this make the phone more laggy?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xamaba:
I've rooted mine, but have not loaded a custom ROM. The main reason for rooting is for running ClockSync, Titanium Backup Pro and Theft Aware (now Avast).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] twidmer:
Rooted.

So I can use Chainfire 3D for a night mode.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xamaba:
No. I was very skeptical at first about this, but I have run SetCPU on my Galaxy SII to test and performance was great and it seemed that battery life was also no problem. I installed SetCPU on my Note soon after I rooted it and have felt no performance decrease. SetCPU has a "ondemand" setting, this will change the speed of the CPU according to the needs of the apps running. Much like the SpeedStep technology found in laptops.

SetCPU has a nice info display and it shows the "Time in State" from this you can see what time your CPU is spending at each MHz increment. It stands to reason if 80% of the time the CPU is running at 200 MHz it's using less than running at 1400 MHz.

I've included a screen cap of the Time in State display from my note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Yes sure i will guide, how you can activate google navigation in india

First Download this

Now you have req Root, and Root explorer app, b'coz you have to remove maps.apk app from Sys/apk directory, and replaced with above said application.

Anyway there is still one method, which doesn't require root, but you wil get double icon each fr lattitude, map, navigation etc(with minor difference)

if you need navigation in india then you can use that modified version of map. I mean new modified version which allow you to use navigation will install along with original map.

for this download this, and simply install like other application.

Now regarding Set CPU, i think somone hav already answered n explined nicely.

After installing SEtCPU, you will get control over CPU speed(directly affect battery performance)

e.g. If you add profile when screen is off, CPU set to 500 mH. then definetely your battery drain diminished < 1%/hr in idle state(screen off) compare to > 2 % with 3G n Data on idle state

There won't be lag issue b'coz you are under clocking in off screen state only.

Just rooted to make it connect to adhoc networks

I am new to Android and I just got this phone two weeks back. I had to root it to make it work on Adhoc networks. And I guess I am using the root feature for only this and to manage the startup applications.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] irha:
I have a cheap USB IR receiver that came with a small remote, which I bought for my HTPC setup (that looks like this). I never got around to using it with my HTPC (Win7), but since I bought a Sony NSZ-GT1, I thought I will give it a try, and was surprised that it was even got recognized (for those who are not aware, this setup comes with a RF remote, so you can't control it from multi-function remotes such as Logitech Harmony). I got only a few buttons to work reliably, mainly the arrows for navigation and OK for selection, but a few other buttons were getting relayed to my Dish receiver via the IR blaster. I was even able to wake it up using the remote, which is great. Since the remote only has a limited set of buttons, my guess is that Google TV already has support for a lot more commands that my remote doesn't know how to emit. I am planning to do some more experimentation with this, perhaps add a Logitech Revue as a device to my harmony and see how compatible those commands are with this device. If anybody has already tried something like this and had success, I would love to hear more.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joelkat:
im running my Xperia play R800x trying to figure it out without root?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c0LdFire:
I've been using Light Flow for the last couple of days, but as of today my phone will no longer vibrate for notifications. The vibrator itself is perfectly fine - haptic feedback will still work and such and it vibrates on boot.

So, I figured the last Light Flow update that pushed out broke something. I backed up my settings, uninstalled it, rebooted, and expected my notification vibrations to continue working...

They didn't. I have it set to always vibrate both in sound settings and in all of my apps, but nothing seems to be working. I'm at a loss for ideas right now other then a factory reset. I am not rooted or unlocked yet, so I suppose it'd be a good chance to do it, but...

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c0LdFire:
Aha! I found the fix - for some reason, notification vibrations were disabled SEPARATELY from every other vibration. Like, not even in the apps. The application "Sound Manager" in the market was able to fix this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrewpmoore:
Looks like you just beat me to suggesting using the app "sound manager". I refer people to this app after somebody managed to figure that out in the past.

Note lightflow itself only sends notifications to android to vibrate, there's nothing fancy going on regarding switching off vibrations in the app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c0LdFire:
Yeah, I figured lightflow probably wasn't directly to blame since uninstalling it didn't fix the problem. I was just really worried about having to deal with a factory reset tonight, but I'm happy now! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cknight91:
Thank You

Thank you for posting this issue and your fix! I was having the exact same issue as you and could not figure out what the culprit was. Downloaded Sound Manager and found out vibration were set to off :)

When I reboot the phone gmaps updates itself automatically back to original 5.11. regardless of internet connection. Where is this update file located? So I can delete it. It would be the solution me thinks. Right?

[HTC Sensation] Nyto75:
Hi everybody.

First of all, my device is running Sensay XE35.

So let me explain my problem : i try to configure an email address via sense app and I would like to get it working with push. So I choose exchange activsync, I configure it, tap next, it begins to sync but when it's gonna finish then I have a notification which tell me that it fails "error of identification by server". I try several things and did several search but no luck :(

Hope you could help me to resolve this.
[HTC Sensation] Nyto75:
I doubt nobody knows how to fix it.

Come on give me some help please
[HTC Sensation] mgorman:
Exchange is only used for emails using Microsoft exchange servers like a work email. Who is your email provider
[HTC Sensation] Nyto75:
Gmail.

I'm talking about activesync in the HTC Sense mail app : it should work with Gmail.

Everybody got this working with push but i can't ! i'm just getting crazy !
[HTC Sensation] mgorman:
Why don't you use the gmail app? And when you add a new account you're selecting exchange activesync?
[HTC Sensation] Nyto75:
because, first, i have 2 accounts so i would like to use just one app instead of 2 :/ and i prefer Sense app :)

Yes i choose activesync of course :/ i write my gmail address, my password, then next.

I also tried to configurate it manually many times but no luck :( always this error while doing first sync
[HTC Sensation] d.cortez:
i'm using the HTC Sense mail app as well for gmail. i have mine configured using exchange: username =gmail email address, password=gmail password and server address=m.google.com.
[HTC Sensation] Nyto75:
yeah me too but sync fails
[HTC Sensation] mgorman:
I think that is only for Microsoft exchange and that is why it isn't working

You want to.go.to settings > accounts and sync > add account and then choose mail and try it that way
[HTC Sensation] Nyto75:
Bro' i told you it's possible.

I'm not asking if it's possible to do like that, I'm asking why it doesn't work for me.

Nobody has an idea?

... I installed Google Wallet anyways... Lol.

All that happens when launched is 2 pop ups appear:

AND 2) You're not even running ICS, STUPID! (again, paraphrasing)

I thought MAYBE I could set it up, and get my free $10, and just not be able to use it, but nope... I have the really cool icon in my app drawer, now though...

Hey guys,

I experimented a little bit with bezkes ICS and FixeROM.

At bezkes ROM i do not have a very stable data/network connection and very much FCs. But the first look was ok, so I tried the FixeROM.

In fresh flashed condition it runs very well for an alpha ROM, but there are bugs like charging-problems with heat of the device.

I thought I combine the two ROMs, not "dev-like", but flash one after another.

So I flashed bezkes ICS, played a little with it (pushed the stock launcher from adb, took the android stock keyboard) and was very frustrated that there are so many FCs.

I know that this is not the best solution, but I flashed the FixeROM ON bezkes ICS and... tada... got a stable network/data connection, WLAN is working very well, charging is possible and there are no FCs about 30min.

After that I flashed the CF-root kernel for KP2.

//EDIT

The stable data/network connection is lost after a reboot! Please notice that. If you got any solution, please post it. Thanks!

//EDIT

Follow these steps:

1. Flash bezkes ICS ROM and configure it

2. Flash FixeROM WITHOUT any wipe!!!

3. Flash CF-Root via Odin

4. Enjoy ICS

Hi. Every time I leave my house and therefore lose WiFi, my LTE G'nex reboots and gets stuck in a bootloop. There's no way for me to fix it except to restore a backup or to get within range of my WiFi.

Is there any way to fix this (other than turning off my WiFi before I leave the house) or do I need to call Verizon for a replacement?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] securitynick:
I've had this happen twice. I didn't realize that was the cause until I searched this morning for it. After the 1st time, I had Verizon replace it. 2nd time I did a factory reset. I haven't turned Wi-Fi back on to try what some people are saying that when you go back into the Access Point area that it stops looping...don't really want to try that since I don't want to chance wiping my phone again since I've yet to root and don't have a backup. If you search "galaxy nexus boot loop issue" in Google, there's a link to a Verizon thread that talks about it, and in there another link to an Android forums thread as well. Can't post the links because XDA won't let me.

either you can use KDZ or R&D for the official

or flash any custom ROM with CWM

(the tutor is already out there)

and the risk ? bootloop or brick maybe :D
[LG Optimus Black] Laier94:
Thanks bros! And another thing,what are custom ROMs? I keep hearing about it like Cyanogen? What's the upside for using it?
[LG Optimus Black] hungry81:
Custom roms in simple terms are unofficial versions of the o/s modified or "cooked" by people who want to add or remove certain features or performance tweaks. The upside is you can find a ROM that suits your usage and aesthetic preferences. For more info read through some ROM threads and compare their features.

However there is always a chance something could go wrong even if you know what you are doing. So my advice would be to read and re read the instructions from rooting to flashing radios to flashing roms and look up the termanology until you think you understand and then read it all again. There are some good guides around that can givevyou the basics.

Otherwise you can wait until your carrier releases a official update.

Thanks for clarifying bros!
