why root

i root for:

cwm recovery image

optimized roms

titanium backup (altho my stuff is mostly cloud so this is just a bonus)

while i understand why people say only root if you have to, if you've made your way here i'd suggest you do it anyways if only for the clockworkmod recovery while more or less makes your system unbrickable. when you start looking at custom icon packs, gps, wifi and lag fixes, optimized filesystems etc. it gets a lot more appealing.

thanks to those that tirelessly work out the kinks in the process for us.
[Acer Iconia A500] HDCowboy:
Havent seen a reason yet to root my A500 as it does everything I want, possibly if I got a wildhair and wanted to install a custom rom. On the other hand I bought a Kindle Fire and I rooted it and had a custom rom installed withing a week, primarily to make it more like my Acer.
[Acer Iconia A500] MalachiX:
Unbrickable? I keep seeing threads of peopleeho havd just bricked their systems while trying to foot. It's the main reason why imhesitant to root.
[Acer Iconia A500] cbradberry:
I just got mine and always thought I would root it, but I don't see the point yet.

I rooted my Evo so that I can remove bloat, increase battery life, and most important wirelessly tether with my tablet.

The battery life on my tablet seems amazing, honeycomb seems fast and the bloat doesn't bother me as much.
[Acer Iconia A500] al4d:
Honeybar!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] bendystrawboy:
i rooted and installed thors rom, its awesome.

No real reason either, I just know from past experience every device is made more enjoyable with the right rom.

Plus with ics coming soon ill have to be able to backup my data to survive the upgrade.
[Acer Iconia A500] ktmdave7:
I find out About Rooting (or unlocking) before I buy any device

#1 Freezing Apps (like Deleting, only safer -Titanium Backup)

#2 OverClocking to 1.5 Ghz and still being stable (up to 1.64)

#3 Under clock (216,245 mhz) (saving battery life)

#4 fun to be "ABLE" to tweak out something.

#5 Example : -a new trick to get better Wi-Fi or 3G Signal, or better GPS (you'll need ROOT to edit system data)

KNOWING that you can always get back to stock in under 5-7 min (if you have to bring in device)

Leaves you a better question.

"Why have you NOT ROOTED it yet?"
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Well bricking your tablet is normal when you try to foot it.

Sorry just made my laugh.

Maybe you should use auto correction.

Or maybe I should keep trying to foot it and see how many attempts I need to brick it.
[Acer Iconia A500] ant_sperry:
I just got this tablet for Xmas, well the Packard bell one but from my understanding there the same. I still need to root mine. I've heard that you can connect a ps3 control if your rooted. Is this the only requirement?

OMG very funny.. Sounds like one of my Long winded Quick unedited or checked post. with no spell check or punctuation ......

With that said..

I think if you have to ask WHY ROOT your device.. My Question is what Does your device not do that you need? And will rooting the device solve this for you..

its risk vs benefits . the oldest Android Question in the book .. Should i foot.. or should i not foot...:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p

I'm sure most have seen this already, but Gameloft is putting most (if not all) of their paid apps for up for $.99. MC3 is still full price, but they will be putting it on sale at a later time.

I know that there are a few games that can't be downloaded due to device compatibility issues (backstab hd, N.O.V.A. 2) but I've managed to edit my build.prop file to accommodate the device requirements.

Credit for the edit goes to AdrienC over in the Milestone 2 forums.

At Market on my Evo 3D or my PC (with no google id) I can only see the regular HD games for sale at 1$, not the whole gameloft catalog.

No 3D game is available on Market, where the sale is.

Gameloft.com has the usual 5$ prices for 3D games.

Gameloft.co.uk has the usual 3£ prices for 3D games.

Has anyone really seen any 3D game for 0.99$ or 0.69£?

In that case, where, how and with what device/settings/hacks/browser?

I am currently running Tiamat 2.2.2 Moray on my US Motorola Xoom Wifi - does this ROM already include the Odachi kernel 2.2.0 http://http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1200063?

The overclocking options are already available in 2.2.2 Moray - so any need/benefit to loading the Odachi 2.2.0 kernel?

The Moray rom includes the slightly earlier Tachi kernel iirc, but you can just flash the Odachi kernel right over the rom. Try the overclocked gpu version...it's sooo smooth!

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] - Swift -:
In this case, you'd have to wait for someone to port the game.

If its not in our Market, its usually not compatible. Most games are armv7 supported. The x8 is armv6!

[HTC Sensation] edge111hussain:
My sensation 4G just wont update. I downloaded the software when i got a prompt for an auto update. Its approximately a 44mb file. After downloading comes the install now or later screen. After choosing the install now, phone goes into shutdown, restarts but them moves to a screen with a WHITE TRIANGLE, YELLOW EXCLAMATION AND A BLUE ANDROID besides it in the centre. Nothing happens post that. Last night i kept the phone in that state for a good 8 hrs hoping it will update, but nothing.. The only way i can start the phone is by removing the battery and starting the phone again..

Everything on the phone works fine. Market apps download and install fine.. I just cannot update the phone by default though..

Things that i have already tried..

-Deleted cache completely but still same error post a new update download and install

-post that did a complete reset, factory data reset. Redownloaded the update, still d same problem persists..

What more can i do? This update will take the phone so android 2.3.4 and sense version to 3.5.

Is the update available on the forum, by which i can download and transfer to the sd card and manually install and try??

Any suggestions are welcome at this time..

ps: I am a newbie to android, hence not considered custom roms yet
[HTC Sensation] Droidicus:
IF you have not done anything to your phone you should take it into a TMO store and show them the problem. I don't think there anything else you can do having not rooted or flashed.
[HTC Sensation] edge111hussain:
The problem is, i am in India right now. Cant take it to one cause TMO doesnt exist here and HTC doesnt have a global warranty.

Does this look like a hardware issue?
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Even though this is an older document. New updates work the same way.

http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2392

Follow that for manual download and try that way.
[HTC Sensation] edge111hussain:
Sir this is what i have been doing and it doesn't work.

Over the air or manually via menu, d end result is still the same.

By manual i meant if there is a physical file available to download which i can put on my sd card and then update it via system boot..

Can anyone tell me what exactly does the white triangle wit the yellow exclamation and blue android symbolize?
[HTC Amaze 4G] jcjackjay:
So previously I had an error on wifi calling thats says "REG99: Invalid SIM Card".

Anybody wanna help?
[HTC Amaze 4G] nguyendqh:
I've seen quite a few people posting about that issue.

Solutions I've seen others say work:

1. Reflashing the ROM

2. Installing the required kernel. (Did you perhaps miss flashing the additional kernel?)

3. Switch ROMs.

Good luck.

I was wondering since I havnt had much experience with unlocking before this device, if I was to do a backup and then unlock and flash a different rom, when I do a restore it would lock me again correct? Id like to easily restore 4G when im done checking out a rom (cm9 :D )

Check out the "Root-Unlock-Relock Pack 1/1/12" at the link below.

This includes all the needed files (bootstrap is optional and not included) to root, unlock, and relock your MoPho. Extract the zip to C:\ , everything you need is in the extracted folder. I have tested this multiple times on three different MoPhos with no issue.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McFluffnStuff:
A friend of mine had some problems and asked if I could look into it for him. I've never owned an Incredible so I don't really know much about it. I figured I'd post here and see if you guys can help. :D

Here's what he sent me:

"So I've got an Incredible and recently its been prompting me to do updates when I'm pretty sure my phone is up to date. So I click update and it says its going to reboot and then never does. So this morning I wake up and its like internal SD card cannot be read or something to that extent. But what's weird is that all my music still works but all my custom ringtones are broke. It's like the 8GB SD card is working, but the internal memory is failing. What do? "

Any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
I assume its rooted, thats why the update wont go thru. As for the memory, does a reboot fix it?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TimelesslyPrecise:
Does this user also understand the concept of safely ejecting his phone before removing it from the computer (most importantly after moving, editing, or pasting files)?

Chances are, his sd card and internal memory could use a good 'disc checking' from a windows computer.. Lol
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camo4x4:
My cousin called me yesterday complaining of the same thing. He stated that he has been recieving OTA updates for the phone on a daily basis lately and since the first update has been getting an internal memory low popup on his Incredible.

His phone is NOT rooted and completely stock with the original SD card. Would like help from anyone else having this issue and knows what the deal is with the multiple OTA's coming in and killing memory.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TimelesslyPrecise:
Okay, here is what needs to happen if you are to get rid of that error..

Go to cyanogenmod and follow the wiki to root and ROM your phone...

Or, do the update...

Now, i would strongly recommend the first choice, as oppose to the second..

The stock software is disgusting.

Rooted cm7 will not only run a lot better for you, but you will be more up to date than the ota update.

You're phone most likely is running out of internal memory, because it is downloading the update and storing it in preparation.

Just do a google search for cyanogenmod, go to their site, click your device, then click the related wiki page..

Follow the instructions and check back here on xda if you have any questions.

Good luck

Hi, I know this is probably a stupid question. But I was wondering if anyone knows that when Ice Cream Sandwich is released will be also be getting the 1280 by 720 resolution (essentially 720p) or is this limited by hardware and not software?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Pirateghost:
can your 19" computer monitor do 2560x1600?

its a hardware limitation...nothing software can fix
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Chubby_Skunk:
The screen res can't be set higher than its native res. the GSII's WVGA can't be set to 720p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TheOne61:
I didn't know it was hardware limited. I can set my 1080p monitor to 1024 x 768 .. but that's software limited. I thought the Samsung Galaxy was like that since it's such a powerful phone. But I was wrong, so sorry for asking a question..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Pirateghost:
1024x768 is a resolution LESS than 1080, obviously. i didnt ask you if you could DOWNGRADE your resolution via software...your 1080p monitor will never run 2560x1600 no matter what software you run...

if the hardware in this phone was actually capable of a higher resolution, dont you think they would have run it at that? i mean, thats a huge selling point on some of the other 4.5 inch devices. the resolution + LTE would have made this phone kill sales of a lot of other phones. its not like Gingerbread has a resolution limitation, so if it was just software, they could have released it with a higher resolution, again assuming the hardware would support it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ElProempie:
Sorry to bump this thread up!

But now i've got the same problem..

I'm running Jellybean 4.2.1 stock but recently rooted using the Gnex Toolkit (which is the eadiest thing!).

I've downloaded Rom Toolbox Pro via the Play Store and was checking out the possibilities of the app.

I saw the option to change the dpi from 320 to 240 at first, wich always looked nice on screenshots and such.

Then i was looking at the Theme Manager where i can change the status bar from stock to transparent and installed it in app.

After rebooting, suddenly my Status bar and my softkeys are gone...

After using the device without the back and home buttons, i did some research on it and found out my device needs to be deodexed before wanting to do it safe?!

I got no backups made, as stupid as i am, and tried installing all sorts of themes for the status bar..

The most obvious option to me is to wipe dalvik cache since that was said all over the internet.

I could really use some help on this, since i dont want to backup my pictures and music because im scared that when i do a wipe, all my data is lost -.-

I might sound stupid, but if there isnt any other option, i might install a different rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reysonance:
Since you're using the stock, you might want to try install the system.IMG you've downloaded via fastboot, wipe cache and dalvik via CWM (Assuming you have CWM installed), the same thing happen to me while installing mods, flashing system.img on top fixed it for me. The other solution is to flash another ROM, you might want to backup your apps via TB in case of both fails

EDIT: This is assuming than you've flashed to stock 4.2.1 via fastboot/toolkit, the easiest method to fix this by far is installing a ROM .zip in CWM, but if you want to stay stock for some reason you may want to try following EF Rant's return to stock guide and flashing everything BUT the userdata.img, instead you would have to boot CWM and then wiping cache/dalvik, or if it still doesn't boot, factory reset. It won't touch your picture and music, but back it up regardless to be safe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Nav bar + status bar is related to SystemUI.apk, most likely the mod did not install properly, reflash the ROM zip.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ElProempie:
Thanks guys for the quick repy!

Isn't there any way to reinstall the systemui.apk? I've tried clicking on it so it installs the apk but didnt work.

@reysonance: im gonna try the Factory Reset option. ill post an update as soon as i did the reset.

The only reason for me to root the device was so i could use the USB OTG option so i can place music on my carradio's usb using a file manager.

I dont know if i have clockwork mod on it, ill check it out tonight.

Thanks again!
