[Acer Iconia A500] Reveers:
Overclocking and increasing the speed/performance of the A500 was my primary goal for rooting. The lag and stutter between screens and when opening programs and scrolling through menus was unbearable.

So now Im rooted, and running whatever roms I can get my hands on (totally addicted). :cool:
[Acer Iconia A500] bluephi1914:
Did it make a difference for you ? Speed wise ?
[Acer Iconia A500] Reveers:
Almost night and day. Scrolling is so much smoother with performance scaling set and super stable running at 1504mhz on the lastest Epiphany 3.2.1 rom.

Using 2.6.36.3HoneyVillain-3.7+ kernel.

Also the security features of Apps such as LBE privacy guard - blocks permissions I don't like when I install a new app... :)

I don't care what anyone says, a torch app DOESN'T need to access call/sms logs, get my location, get my IMEI/IMSI or access the net....:mad:
[Acer Iconia A500] bluephi1914:
Ok well it looks like i'll be rooting. :) Is this the method you used??

[Acer Iconia A500] dr mcknight:
it depends on what version of droid u are curently have installed

here is a video tutorial i used if you need to root from 3.2/3.2.1

http://youtu.be/zfSPP8UOn78

if you are currently running 3.1 you can use this one.

http://youtu.be/ks4T0coq68w

after rooted i suggest flashing a custom rom. this can improve your performance and battery life as most roms have all the useless stuff riped out!!
[Acer Iconia A500] bluephi1914:
I'm actually running 3.0.1 (android version) I have not taken any upgrades.
[Acer Iconia A500] dr mcknight:
than it will be very easy for you. 3 steps;)
[Acer Iconia A500] bluephi1914:
I'm done ! Wow.. That was fast... almost too easy
[Acer Iconia A500] dr mcknight:
now make sure you make a back up. and look for a rom you like. i use Alexandra III. its so smooth its almost boring (in a good way) but go read about them all for your self

ps stay away from "leaked" ics
[Acer Iconia A500] bluephi1914:
I am having a problem booting into recovery? I know I'm rooted because i just downloaded root-browser and it asked for SU rights and I granted them. I held the left volume, and power button, then released it after you see the ACER logo right when the small texts pops up.. mine just goes to the Triangle with exclamation point.

You don't have to install clockwork mod or flash a recovery to start installing ROM's??
[Acer Iconia A500] dr mcknight:
yes get clockwork. sorry thought that was in tutorial.

also when booting hold the buttons down till the fourth line comes up
[Acer Iconia A500] bluephi1914:
Ok, i thought so.. wasn't in the tutorial though, but im so excited about this easy root process i may have missed it. :D

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] realism51:
Just bought the tab 10.1 after a near endless debate. Im not very happy with the stock camera on it, after using my HTC sensation camera , ( I like the instant photo). Camera is a huge thing for me because of the amount of photos that I take. I would prefer to stay away from action snap since it doesnt work the same as I want, Im looking for something like the sensation stock.

Also not sure, is it worth Rooting the tab. There really isnt a lot of junk on there that I would remove.

And is there a way to not have GMAIL app do your email for you. Its a family use tablet and I would like to prevent any kid access to my emails.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] okpc:
You're better take pics with phone. First of all, root then custom Rom
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] wewewi999:
Sorry to confirm you really shoudnt have bought a GTab101 if camera is a huge thing for you!!

I am not aware of any replacement app that is worth it. Wouldnt help much anyway.

There is no point rooting the tab as long as you dont need it.

If you dont know/would ask what to do with it anyway, why would you even WANT to root it?

As for the GMAIL app, it is imperative that an Android User (read gmail account) is linked to the device because all Google services are linked to that account.

.. Why dont you put a dummy/family account on it? Then access your personnal account using an app that asks for password everytime or use web interface.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] realism51:
i know how to do root, last three phones have been done nicely. Just not sure if there is a reason since most functionality is at home on wifi. I would throw in the family account, but, then i could not access my paid for apps.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] nightmarebadger:
For your gmail issue you could try this:

Go under settings - accounts and synch - disable gmail synch. Then go under apps and clear cache and data on the gmail app.

This way all data already in should be cleared and new data shouldn't synch. If you want it completely disabled, you could also root your tabled and simply remove the gmail application.

You could also try to use an application like Android Protector (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.androidpassword.core). Haven't used it myself, but I've heard about it a few times, supposedly you can password protect any application ... might be worth a shot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dmullens:
I used the Advance Ace Hack Kit (version 13012012) to root my HTC Inspire. I noticed that the version of ClockworkMod that it installed was 5.0.2.7.

I then thought I might flash a new rom so I downloaded Rom Manager. One of the options of Rom Manger is to install ClockworkMod. However I would like to verify that flashing whatever version of ClockworkMod from Rom Manager over the current version installed by AAHK won't cause any problems.

Does anybody know?

I looked at the ClockworkMod site and it had version 5.0.2.7 as the current version, but it didn't list the HTC Inspire as compatible.

Rom manager doesn't seem to want to do anything until I flash its version of ClockworkMod. I assumed that it might know that ClockworkMod was already on it, but apparently not.

So, will I mess things up if I just let Rom Manger flash whatever version of ClockworkMod over the AAHK version (which seems to be the newest version)? If I decide to flash a rom I might just do it from the console rather than Rom Manager.

Thanks for any insight.
[HTC Inspire 4G] boss man Kole:
I'm still learning but I'm pretty sure it'll be ok. And I think the reason it doesn't show inspire 4g is cause the inspire is just paired with desire hd

i need help plz help me

went to install coredroid on my inspire and its stuck saying writing shared system i dont know what to do plz help me
[HTC Inspire 4G] dmullens:
Thanks @Boss man. I had thought the same thing about clockworkmod not showing Inspire 4g, however, for the Desire HD it shows that 5.0.2.0 as the current version (not 5.0.2.7).

I've only had this phone a week, so it's all a bit new...and I certainly don't want to brick the thing if I don't have to ;) Hoping that someone has used Rom Manager to flash over a different version (even if newer version) of ClockworkMod.
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
Hi, CWM recovery is a must before you flash a new rom. That won´t conflict with the Hack Kit as the Hack Kit only roots your phone. Once that is finished then there's nothing more. The CWM recovery is a new image that is flashed to your cell and that allows you among other things to backup your current rom and flash new ones.

Before you move towards flashing anything you have to install CWM or you will get stuck in the HBoot menu. Inspire 4G is fully compatible with Rom Manager and CWM and will install the last version available. When you choose to flash CWM recovery it will prompt you what device is yours...choose Desire HD and that will do. The desire HD is the European version of Inspire, but NEVER try to flash software that is for the Desire HD as that some aspects are not the same (Radio, kernel) and might jam you up. Hope it helps....:D
[HTC Inspire 4G] dmullens:
Thanks. Yea that helps. However, I already have CWM recovery on my phone. I did not put it there. However, I bought the phone used. All I did was use the AAHK and after rooting was done version 5.0.2.7 of CDW recovery was on the phone.

I don't know what version of CDW recovery ROM Manger flashes. Just want to make sure that _if_ it flashes a new _or_ older version of CDW recovery it doesn't jam anything up for me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
As far as you Flash the CWM recovery from the Rom Manager, it won´t jam you up as it flashes the last version that is compatible with your device. If you are in doubt you just can flash it again to make sure.

If you are thinking about installing a custom rom then don´t forget to make a nandroid backup (copy current rom) and enjoy!!...:cool:

I got a question in regard to this new app called Anti Android which has been out for a little while now.It seems there is a lite version which only scans and a paid version which tests for network weaknesses.

Im working over at a company and we do stuff like that but on our PCs or laptops and well......its pretty cool,however being an android fanatic I wanted to check this out and if it even works as avertised.

Does it work?

What do credits mean? does each exploit cost one credit?

wanted to know if any of you have it so I can determine wether I should purchase this or if I should not wate my $10 please any info or reviews from your experience will be appreciated thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] coolmalayalee:
I just installed the app SwitchMe from the android market place. After creating two profiles and switching to the second profile the phone restarted on its own and got stuck on the boot animation. I waited for about 5 mintues or more and then pulled the battery out put it back and the phone again went into the same boot animation for ever. I am able to get into both download mode and CWM. I deleted cache partition and dalvik cache and restarted. Still it is on boot animation for ever. I did a "wipe data factory reset" and rebooted. It is still on the boot animation for like more than 5 mintues... I have no idea what to do.. someone please help...

I am on ROM 2.3.6, UnNamed 2.2.1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] D3M3NT3D_L0RD:
I would wipe everything and reflash. I just saw something about SwitchMe on Gizmodo I think. Ill investigate the issue.

---------- Post added 27th January 2012 at 12:26 AM ---------- Previous post was 26th January 2012 at 11:28 PM ----------

@OP, looks like your second profile caused the issue. Under "Help" in the app, then "Usage warning", it says that "if you create a profile that exceeds the available memory, switching into this profile will cause a boot loop as Android attempts to unsuccessfully build the Dalvik cache." Did you make a nandroid backup before doing this? If not the only thing I could suggest is doing a full wipe like I stated above, then reflash UnNamed. Entropy might know some other way to fix the bootloop if that is indeed the issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] coolmalayalee:
But the question is how do I know if the second profile exceeds the remaining memory on the phone? Anyways, I did a reflash and everything now back... but had to do data wipe, means I have to now customise every thing.. unfortunately I didnt have a nandroid backup. Lesson learnt.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] D3M3NT3D_L0RD:
Thats a good question. I know my way around Android but am by no means a dev. Maybe someone with more experience could help you with that. If you still want to use the app, make a nandroid then remake your profiles on SwitchMe. If it bootloops again thats most likely the issue. And yes I know having to re-customize everything sucks major balls :( Had to do it many many times lol

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chinly43:
Hi folks,

I noticed today that my prime's camera has gone from being awesome to broken. I *think* it coincides with the most recent firmware update - I thought it was called 9.4.2.1.1, but under "about tablet" it's called 9.4.2.11 - but I can't be sure. The last good picture I took was on the 21st.

I'm attaching an example of what I see when I try to use the camera. I tried taking a picture anyway, but all I got was a solid green picture. I'll also note that the front-facing camera is working just fine, that clearing app data didn't help, using a market camera app didn't help, and rebooting didn't help.

Anyone else having this problem? Or insight related to it?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] briderx:
Have you tried a hard reset? May be your only option..? Assuming of course that you rebooted...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chinly43:
Yeah, factory reset didn't help. Called asus, they're having me send it in.

Wife got home since I posted, and hers (same firmware and software) had no issue. It's really too bad, I had no complaints otherwise, which seemed to put me in a smaaaall minority around here.

Same issue with a C1
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Danny-B-:
Try reflashing the firmware as it makes you re-install the camera firmware if i remember rightly ...

Download the update from http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_Prime_TF201/#download Under "Firmware"

Choose the correct firmware for you region.

Once downloaded, extract the zip inside the zip (yeah they zipped up a zip ...)

Place that zip file on the Root of your MicroSD card and pop it in the prime.

A little triangle will appear on the notifications bar (bottom right), press it and accept the warnings etc, but itll allow you to reflash the firmware.

You will of course loose anything you have on the tablet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jk_bobby:
I am also having this issue since the first update and i am now on .14 and still occurs.

It used to work on the rear camera through GTalk but now that doesn't work either.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sologq:
Also have rear camera problems. Just discovered this recently but it could have been affected from an earlier update. Currently on .15. This doesn't seem to be a widespread issue but I hope they fix it in a later update rather than have to send it to them for who knows how long.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Wow! This sucks!

I do not have this problem with the newest update, hate to see it happening.

Factory resets didn't work, how about the hard reset through the pin-hole near the mSD slot?

And as already mentioned, although you'll lose your data, you should try re-flashing the firmware once it's available as a download.

I tried v1.3 of the mobile phone version as well as v1.0 of the tablet version on my Toshiba Thrive 7" tablet (1280 x 800 display).

I like the tablet format of the latter but find that is has many fewer news categories than that of the phone version. That's kind of odd. I find that I end up using the phone version on my tablet the most in order to get the additional news categories.

Is there a newer version of the tablet apk that offers the same set of news categories as can be found with v1.3 of the phone apk?

[LG Thrill 4G] bcashJMU:
Hey guys,

I have rooted a couple phones and do have a little experience in doing so with instruction. However, I am still a noob. I successfully rooted my LG Thrill today and went on to flash the cyanogenmod on it. I put the LG Thrill recovery file in the sdcard root and flashed it. That originally did not allow me to use Rom Manager. I then just for the fun of it used Rom Manager to flash the Optimus 2X recovery file. It worked! I was able to download ROMs. So I downloaded CM7 (the stable version). It got stuck at the end of the download and i couldn't even get the phone to shut down. So I took out the battery and now the phone is stuck in bootloop. I got into CWM and checked the backup and restore options. I isn't showing a restore point before I tried flashing. I have been looking through the forums now for more than 6 hours straight. I can't seem to find any solutions. What do I do? Please help.
[LG Thrill 4G] Kaleptik:
If you consider yourself a noob, why'd you so it? ._.

Anyways, head on over to the Development section and find the One Click Recovery.

Once it's installed, you can install a nightly of cyanogenmod via the recovery you just installed.

Once cyanogenmod is installed, do a factory reset, and voila! You should be up and running.

[LG Thrill 4G] bcashJMU:
I did it because I have done it with other phones just fine. I didn't know the Thrill was going to be so complicated to do. Thanks for the tip, I will try it tonight and post my results. Lucky I can use my old Inspire (which is flashed with cm7 :D)
[LG Thrill 4G] bcashJMU:
Do you mean the One Click ClockWork Recovery? I already have CWR on the phone and can access it but I can't get it to factory reset. If there is another one click recovery utility, I can't seem to find it, just the CWR utilities. I have downloaded the P925 dll and bin files if those will help.

Well if you have it, then download a nightly of cyanogenmod and then factory reset.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eqjunkie829:
Nandroid backup is done inside of clockwork recovery which you can use rom manager to boot into.

Custom roms will usually come with busybox, but if you want to update your version you can download busybox installer from market

Not sure what you are doing with google maps, but if you uninstall maps it shouldnt give you a problem reinstalling another google maps apk manually or from market.

If it says read only on system folder then you have not changed to write access. What file browser are you using?

You can absolutely unstall any of the tmobile bloatware including tmobile tv. If you want a precooked rom that has all of this stuff removed and is stock in every other way then check the link in my sig for my mysense rom. It may be exactly what you are looking for.
