[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SS4Serebii:
OK, I updated My Arc to a .62 Latest Firmware via SE PC Companion.

Can you tell me how to root it now?

There are options available right?

I have a Locked Boot Loader and Dont wanna unlock it.

Thanks Alot! :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] somedude67:
it aint possible without an unlock. Get a pro to unlock it for you. Costs about 15 quid warranty and drm remains intact.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dp94:
Downgrade to .42 or .58 firmware with Flashtool and root it using the zergRush exploit. ;)

@somedude67 - My DRM can be saved even after unlocking my bootloader??

How??

Any free way?

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragoshtom:
Hello, I'm new here, with a new xperia arc.

I have .42 firmware and I want to root, but i have a question about it.

My phone is stock, locked bootloader, untouched...plain stock; If I root with doomlord rootkit I void warranty or it's safe?

I've seen that it is a un-rooting kit there, but it works well in case i want to unroot?

And if I root now, and update via pc companion the future ICS 4.0, it will be ok with the phone and all right?

I just want to root but not to void my warranty, or unlock the bootloader, or to flash another firmware or system.

Thanks in advanced
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
It won't void the warranty - but not 100% sure as I don't really about warranty :D

And yes, you can update to 4.0 later
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragoshtom:
Thanks, I still have 2 years of warranty and i just want to be safe

As I said, I want this for the warranty and stability of the phone

(had bad experiences with my former LG GW620 phone last year :-<)

Thank you again
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] vitalik228:
Hi all, i was reading that booklet that comes with the GALAXY Player and in there its talking about the potential radio hazards and it caught my attention that Samsung says this on page 2 of the booklet.

"Although GALAXY is not a cell phone, it can operate on the same network as cellphones and can use the same radio frequency signals to communicate with the network as a cell phone"

I was pretty impressed, and who knows maybe there really is a hidden 3g antenna in there. That would be awesome to develop a rom that would use the antenna.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ZaIINN:
There is a 0% chance of there being a 3G radio inside of the Samsung Galaxy Player. I can guarantee that; It's probably referring to the frequencies that Bluetooth and WiFi operate on perhaps.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Entropy512:
Yeah, my guess is that it's talking about the fact that most cell phones have BT/Wifi now.

TBH that's just ****ty documentation, since BT/Wifi have far lower transmit power than 3G. Probably just lawyer paranoia there.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Cell Radio battery use?

I was just wondering what the cell radio in the SGS Wifi 5 was for? In my battery use I get a cell standby section which says 'Battery used by cell radio'. I'm just a bit confused by this because as far as I know the cell radio is for a 3G or similar network?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] exodus454:
There isn't a cell radio in it. Pretty sure the "cell radio" stuff was just a part of android that wasn't removed for some reason.

The Adam 2 guys explaining their decision.

http://designingadam2.wordpress.com/2012/01/28/omap/

EDIT: they mention 4470 with SGX544, that probably wasn't ready when GNex was being designed or was not as good a choice for other reasons over 4460.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jayrod1980:
Great explanation. I thought after Samsung came out with hummingbird (after manufacturing the iPhone 4 chip for apple with the powerVR 535) and the 540 that apple went out and bought the company that makes the power vr architecture. If that's so it would make sense that apple would not license out the top chip gpu wise, but rather whatever is a step below the top.

This is just conjecture, but then how is ti getting the awesome powerVR in all of their omap devices? Licensing agreement predating the apple buy? Whatever it is, the omap 4 is great. Even love it in my wife's cheap nook tablet. As many have said, the 540 is not the same in the galaxy nexus as the hummingbird. It has dual channel memory (PC gamers know how much memory bandwidth matters) and more, and when the hummingbird was released it was way ahead. It was a mile above the 530 and the 535 power vr gpus that apple and Motorola were using.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Longcat14:
Samsung said that Apple was willing to let them license the PowerVR SGX543MP2, since they were building the A5 anyways, but Samsung wanted to test out someone else's GPU, which ended up being the Mali-400 from ARM.

It's a great GPU, but doesn't beat PowerVR, which is why Samsung said they'll be using both GPU's from now on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] j.go:
Why would apple get to decide who gets to license powerVR products? I thought Intel was the major stockholder of powerVR?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xHausx:
Some of Google's open source people have been complaining about the proprietary drivers complicating things, so it definitely makes sense for them to go with the most lenient one. Hopefully this will convince the other OEMs to loosen up their NDAs and what not some.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Colonelsmoke:
I was wondering if there is an option to play youtube videos in 1080p watching it on the phone? I know that samsung g2s supports 1080p youtube videos but apparently the g2x doesn't. Im running stock Rom (froyo) without root.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GTWalling:
I got mine to do it by signing in to my Youtube account and going into setting at Youtube setting it to play Highdef if available.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] psychoace:
Not in the youtube app. I think hq means 480p at best. In the browser you can but playback will stutter like crazy
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GTWalling:
It may be a brain trick but when I logged into Youtube with the browser and did the settings, I also saw a difference in higher quality in the app.
[HTC Amaze 4G] GazaIan:
I don't know their exact similarities, but can ROMs not be ported from the Sensation to the Amaze 4G? Off the top of my head, both have the Snapdragon S3, both have a qHD display, cameras are different but a nice kernel and a few lib swaps coud solve that.. No cut and paste ports can be done? Am I missing something here? I would have gotten an Amaze 4G if it weren't for the lack of ROMs.

Then again, with MWC right around the corner and thr HTC Ville possibly coming out and to T-Mobile, I think I may just slobber all over that instead.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] GuestK00250:
Are there any apps that allows the phone auto off and on in specific time when i sleep like in BB? as i know when BB is switch off it does not really off completely like android and therefore it can turn itself on. does android has any similiar apps like this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hassaan123:
No Android can't do this
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Coolgreek:
Could not say it better than hassaan123 :p

However if you just want to do specific things at specific times WHILE ON (such as putting your phone on airplane mode on night to save battery or out of it on the morning) you could try an app called "Tasker"!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] playerzking:
You're lucky. Chainfire made a app called 'nomoarpowah' which allowed the phone to wake up at specific time/battery% while turned off AND CHARGING. It doesn't completely suit your needs but at least you don't miss the alarms set in clock app.

p.s. I dunno any app that can turn off the device automatically

if you doesn't charge by the night, it seemed no way to wake up Android

p.s.2 nomoarpowah requires root

p.s.3 you probably need some time figuring out how to use the app as Chainfire didn't provided a very detailed instruction

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Clevo89:
Since the gigngerbread update (official one) I've been meaning to post asking about if anyone know much about the "home settings" tab.

It's accessible by pressing the menu button when on the home screen.

In theme settings, i have mine set to "Android Standard" as I didn't like the "Beyond the sky" theme. If you press on the download more tab you're taken to the android market and presented with a list fan made ( I presume) ahome themes. I've check a few of these out but so far haven't found anything there I liked...

Q's:

What is aHome and if I wanted to uninstall it where do I find it? (rooted)

perhaps I could learn to make my own themes...where do I start?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] skifyr123:
You can find the launcher in /system/app/HuaweiLauncher3.apk and the Beyond The Sky theme is located at /cust/hw/default/app/BeyondTheSkyTheme.apk

What you can do is either edit the launcher or only the theme (not sure if it works then..). Change some icons, remove stuff (make it cleaner), change colors.

Also if some are interested, the status bar quick settings app are located at /cust/hw/default/app/toolbox.apk if anyone want to edit that one as well.

You need some tools and maybe guides, a nice place to start is here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=916814 Also just look at .apk and see how they work (what happens if I change that icon etc.)

if someone could gimme a hand with this or tell me what the hell i am doing wrong... i'd appreciate it...

i wanna try to get laidaxin's cm7.2 working on my phone...

i dunno if it matters... but i am attempting to install from a windows xp machine...
[Flipside General] xaser66:
Hello!

First, Thanks to all people around this work, specially Laidaxin for good work.

Well, sadly... I also still stuck on install the FlipSide recovery option of the first post... I did all te proccess by eleven times, testing different details that may be not clear for me (as run as administrator, with abd CMD screen closed and opened, if the version of adb never shows me the logs that appears in cmd screenshot... several times I got on the FlipSide the screens talking about su and later 2ndinit script got superuser permissions... but the screens of cmd generated by the script are so fast that was not able to read or check if the 2ndinit script was succesfull or if there something else that may be failing/missed... so by now still no luck)

as a resume, in hope that may help to test from new friends around here:

1) I reflashed my FlipSide to stock with sbf from the other thread tutorial (I use sbfflash in linux and everything works fine, using Power+UParrow in keyboard to enter in bootloader mode my Flipside)... and then I insert my SIM and SD card wiped with only the CM7-Laidaxin.zip file on it, ...complete setup as minimal possible in order to be able to set USB mode to memory access, and turn on usb development in applications menu.

2) Then I ROOT with SuperOneClick version 2.1.1!!! and connect my phone in normal use screen home (NOT bootloader mode!) with UBS debugging turn on and with USB mode set to memory card access (NOT Moto Portal No Media access...), the other methos with Z4root and newer versions of SuperOneClick FAILS for me...

3) I then try to install recovery with Laidaxin installer and procedure, but as I said after some attemps I still not success in get the recovery working, also try diferent ways... removing battery then reboot with VolumeDown pressed, Turn off normal and repeat, turning ON AND AFTER see the Red Moto press the VolDown key short time, later maintained it long, then pressing it several times, etc...

So, I made this resume in order to share info from my side and hope to save some time to other friends that may want to test the CM7 from Laidaxin, than in fact seems like a GREAT work for our Flips... so please if any help to get this fully working and tested will be very gratefull...

Best regards!
[Flipside General] rignfool:

[Flipside General] WinSuk:
You should be able to install it like this:

- Extract everything in the "data" folder into a folder called "bootmenu" on your sdcard

- Then use either "adb shell" from a command prompt, or Terminal Emulator on the phone should work:

su
cp -R /sdcard/bootmenu /data/bootmenu
cd /data/bootmenu
chmod 0755 *
./install.sh

And it should say "Install complate...."

You can also remove the folder(s) if you want:

rm -R /data/bootmenu
rm -R /sdcard/bootmenu

Then to get into it, reboot the phone and once the notification light turns on, hit volume down :)

I ran into the same problem but mine also stopped me from installing any other rom to test, run, or otherwise. I'm at a standstill in terms of helping test.
[Flipside General] WinSuk:
laidaxin's rom replaces this recovery with one that doesn't quite work perfectly yet...

You should be able to boot back into CM7 and re-run the above commands and it'll work again :p
[Flipside General] rignfool:
That doesn't change anything for me... it still won't unmount system...

I think if I read the output from the script install...

Our recovery installs to system... since Motorola doesn't love us
[Flipside General] WinSuk:
Maybe try "rm -R /system/bootmenu" then install it...
[Flipside General] bakageta:
It does the same for me, which is what's keeping me from trying CM7, as I have no way to restore my current nandroid. The defy installs their recovery to /system as well and I gather that it works as intended, I wonder if it's that we need our own build of CWM. Do we know if whoever built CWM for the defy has their source tweaks available?
[Flipside General] rignfool:
Unless you have something irreplacable in your /system or /data... I would just have RSD lite and an sbf ready... and take the plunge...

Because....

When you use CM7... apps2sd moves not only the apk... but also the lib files to the sd card...

As long as you switch the 'network operator' to GSM only (in wireless and networks)... laidaxin's kang runs beautifully... much much faster than stock
[Flipside General] bakageta:
Link2SD has no problem moving the lib files in our stock rom... :P I'm no stranger to reflashing with RSD Lite, it's just tedious to get everything set back up JUST right, and this is exactly the kind of thing nandroid is great for.
[Flipside General] rignfool:
I had huge problems with Link2SD and fat file systems...

Anytime the phone battery dies or requires a battery pull... I lose programs.... lots...

Hence why...

Also... you don't have to wait for link2sd to re-link the lib files on boot... a drawback to 2.2.2+
[Flipside General] bakageta:
Hmm, no issues with battery pulls and such losing apps for me, and no problems with fat32... *shrugs* The lag at boot is slightly annoying, but the phone is relatively stable, I don't reboot often.

I had bought Samsung galaxy tab 10.1

I am having problem with playing movie 1080p BluRay x264 and also sometime with the full hd movies downloaded from bangbros and realityking site.

the movies are playing with pause what i can say playing slow.

I think galaxy tab 10.1 is HD then why its is not able to play. on the other hand same movies and running smoothly on my Samsung galaxy s2.

If I need to do anything.

one more thing I want to inform my s2 is rooted and tab10.1 is not.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
Can't compare the two devices as they use different processors and therefore have different degrees of support for hardware decoding. The tablet is on the shorter end of the stick but you can encode files at 720p that play beautifully on it. Want to be able to throw any old video downloaded off the Web at 1080p at it? look elsewhere, regardless of what Samsung marketed it to be able to do it's just not cut out to do that.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MultiLockOn:
1: I've been running an ICS theme on my epic 4g touch for a little while and I'm looking into installing a ROM to improve speed and battery life. I've been struggling to choose between the most current version of Blazer, or Unnamed. They seem relatively similar apart from the fact that if I get Unnamed I'll have to flash an ICS theme over it, but I'd like opinions from everyone.

2: I understand for both of those ROMs you must wipe your phone. I have no issue with wiping apps as they can be reinstalled, but I need my contacts. I don't have an SD card and would prefer to not have to buy one, so is there any method to backing up my contacts that I could retrieve them post flashing?
