Your custom recovery will stay there, so don't worry.

btw, if you need to get recovery sometimes, use this method...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Gagan91:
thanks for the reply.. i followed the guide to update via lgdmp and everything went good until NVRESTORE .. :( it showed an error "ERROR! NV Restore Failed" and the phone screen was black . i waited for a few moments and then clicked OK and the DoWNload < Select port < connected my fone again and then clicked on NV restore it restored succesfully and now fone works. Though i m not getting any signal and baseband version in ABOUT PHONE says UNKNOWN but i guess thats normal. Now going to flash AGA ROM via recovery. Hope it works :(

PHEW! it worked.. :)

though that error made me kill myself! :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben_K:
Hey guys.

I recently flashed the latest version of MIUI Mintberry onto my SGS.

It's awesome. Fast, smooth and useful.

But, my battery's been draining completely in about 5-6 hours of fair use.

I have quite a few background processes such as :

Facebook, Skype, Words with Friends, Twitter, eBay, Advanced Task Killer, Viber, and probably more hidden ones.

So :

Is there anyway to permanently close an app?

If I close Facebook, it reboots itself.

And secondly, are there any fixes/tweaks/apps/tips/etc. that's help solve my battery drain?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gugus38:
I had a crazy battery drain too, like 5-6 hours of usage and phone would die.

BUT, I removed all the email accounts (hotmail and exchange, but kept the gmails).. and it's magic !!!

I have now 75% battery left after 1day and 5 hours in wifi. It's pretty great :D

Omg a few? You can freeze apps on my rom with AppFreezer. For another rom use titanium backup.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davestix:
Make sure you do at least 3 complete battery cycles, i.e. 100% - 0% without disturbing the recharge. That will help massively. Some people say that wiping the battery ststa to start with also helps

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daemyon:
Hi,

I have a Galasxy S 2 and wat to root it. It is running on Android 2.3.4 gingerbread.XWKI4. What is the easiest and simplest way to root my phone so I can get rid of all the add's?

I am a noob in this field so I hope one of you can help me out with a clear instruction. Thanx for your time and effort!

Cheerz,

Daemyon
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
Welcome, but don't forget that "search" is your friend...

Start here, then read and search some more. Don't rush.

Remove "add's" - do you mead advertisements on apps, or additions/bloatware (apps you don't need/want)?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Find the KI4 kernel in this thread & use it to root your phone. Read the first post in that thread carefully, follow the instructions to the letter & you shouldn't have any problems, assuming you have either an I9100 or a I9100T (check the sticker under the battery to make sure before you do anything).

P.S - For future reference, questions belong in the Q&A section of the board
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daemyon:
Yes I mean advertisements in apps, those are the most annoying. I will check the thread you have sent me, thanx!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daemyon:
I will check the thread and see if it gets me anywhere. I read somewhere there is also a possibility to do it on one click. you download something on your phone, run the programm through a restart in download mode and then it is rooted. Is that possible as well? I have a I9100. I will put my threads in the proper forum next time. Thanx!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
If you mean SuperOneClick, yes, that is an alternative way to root your phone other than Odin/CFRoot. I've never used it so I have no idea how it works, do a search on here & find the thread devoted to it.

[Xperia Arc General] jos_031:
Symantec has released information about a newly discovered threat known as “Android.Counterclank.” It is a variant of a previously discovered Trojan horse called “Android.Tonclank.”

The malware is embedded into various apps in the Android Market and once downloaded, launch services that send information from the device, such as MAC Address, SIM Serial, IMEI, and IMSI, back to the malicious host.

Symantec has identified several malicious app titles spread out over 3 publishers. They are:

iApps7 Inc

Counter Elite Force

Counter Strike Ground Force

CounterStrike Hit Enemy

Heart Live Wallpaper

Hit Counter Terrorist

Stripper Touch girl

Ogre Games

Balloon Game

Deal & Be Millionaire

Wild Man

redmicapps

Pretty women lingerie puzzle

Sexy Girls Photo Game

Sexy Girls Puzzle

Sexy Women Puzzle

Removing the associated application should remove the malware from the device.

1. Open the Google Android Menu.

2. Go to the Settings icon and select Applications.

3. Next, click Manage.

4. Select the application and click the Uninstall button.

I dont play games...and about Sexy etc.....i have wife.

But for me it seems more "we all need download now some antivirus" app :)
[Xperia Arc General] Flo95:
Don't have this apps but Google should check the apps that come into market like Apple does!
[Xperia Arc General] jos_031:
Google must atleast check for malacious code in the apps before making it available in the market
[Xperia Arc General] rec71:
5 million my arse. Says who? Oh, a company that produces AV software!

Yes, this is no doubt a problem but I take everything Symantec says with a pinch of salt. It's in their interests for malicious software to exist.
[Xperia Arc General] TOUGMA:
Don't use these app too.
[Xperia Arc General] Luhccas-X10:
Bullsh*t!
[Xperia Arc General] CrazyPeter:
This is exactly it.

However many consumers are too thick to see this, and most news sites are too desperate for hits to not report this tripe.

According to GSMAerna

[Xperia Arc General] iridaki:
I am in deep shock that apps like "Pretty women lingerie puzzle", "Sexy Girls Photo Game",

"Sexy Girls Puzzle" and "Sexy Women Puzzle" turned out not to be legit applications. :p

Come on guys, this is hardly a real threat...

Anyone in their right mind knows that an app with the word "Sex(y)" in its title, by a never-heard-of developer, could be suspicious.

It's like when people get viruses on their PC because they clicked on the "Click here to Scarlett Johanson naked and talk to her"! :D
[Xperia Arc General] ShyamSasi:
Not like before mate. Apple devices are also getting hit by malware. According to F-Secure about 58 new variants of Mac malware have popped up in the last year.
[Xperia Arc General] jos_031:
I saw the news. thought it might help few. all are talking about sexy. who will install. what about counter strike atleast in pc it sold 25 million units. obviously there are lot of fans who want to download the game. I personally was about to download it. but the comments said it is not good so didnt download
[Xperia Arc General] irononreverse:
Symantec have retracted their malware announcement, they've downgraded the threat to just adware.

http://www.gizmodo.co.uk/2012/01/symantec-backpedals-android-apps-not-malware-simply-crapware/

Although to be honest, anyone downloading any of the apps mentioned above probably shouldn't be allowed access to the internet and a credit card.
[Xperia Arc General] Flo95:
But Android is still worse in that case.
[Xperia Arc General] taaviu:
Because apple is not open source...they even don't know if they have viruses.

Android is open source and if coming some new virus we can always find some solution FAST.

This **** what those antivirus manufactures talking don't need take seriously always.

Its their job to make some commercial...even if they make those viruses itself..or they pay to someone to make viruses or make "panic" ;)

Its clever commercial trick.

But anyway...viruses existing and if you don't know what your doing with your phone..then DON'T DO IT. :)

Peace and less panic my friends

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dynamo Nath:
I'm confused! I have superuser installed and as of yet no app has asked for permissions; they just work. With the exception of ROM Manager which just freezes (needs long hold on back key). On previous ROMs I've flashed, requests for permissions pop up and you allow/deny etc. I've tried using the updater from the marketplace (force closes) and updating the binary (force closes). Am not able to uninstall superuser. I've turned on/off USB Debugging, fixed permissions, almost everything else I've found on the net.

As apps are working it isn't the end of the world but I'm confused about why they are working and also slightly concerned over the security aspect of apps not asking me and just running.

Apps that work without asking include: Titanium Backup, CPU Master, NSTools, File Explorer

I9020

Matr1x 15 Kernel

Orca 1 RC-0.1 (Drew Garen/BamtauMod)

I won't recommend it !

It's not for daily usage

If you want to test it ,then trylegacy build ,which is the latest and better :)

Overlock ? Not possible ! First the let rom be stable first !
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] LazySam:
ok

i will tell you what i know

and hope it helps

i tried legacy 7 and it works and is a nice rom

but has alot of bugs but looks good

and the things i didnt like was that when you set a wallpaper screen flicks and no view is there

except that you should be ready for no camera and all

but it is not stable but it is kinda fast sometimes

but what can you say it is still under works and about alpha 13 you asked

i tried it and it wont work for me

so you are most welcome to give it a try

Click thanks if i helped

[HTC Wildfire S] Freshz24:
50% of your battery means it has used 50% of your used battery, not all your battery. Just close the GPS application when you don't need it.
[HTC Wildfire S] (IwaN):
Yes, I know. But you didn't read what I had written!! My battery was used 90% (there was only 10% remaining) and sygic was used 50% of the 90%. And I had killed the app and my GPS is off. So please read before writing :)

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] eLar19:
Hi guys, I'm looking for a appropriate browser for my Transformer with dock keyboard. I have tried many, but no one satisfy me because everyone has an input lag when I write comments on blogs, or when I open a topic here on xda: When I type a key on the keyboard, the letter appears on the screen with a delay that varies from 1 to 2 seconds depending on the browser I use. This problem I have not seen in browsers like firefox, browser-qq, Miren browser (disappeared from market), but these are very slow, and Miren browser crashes often. other browsers like Opera, Maxthon, etc., all have the same problem ... some of you here can tell me if there is any change in the apk file to reduce the input lag, or suggest to me some of the browsers that do not have this input lag?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] ickk:
boat browser.

I've tried stock, opera, firefox, dolphin, & maxathon. If they aren't lacking with keyboard response - they're usually lacking something else. Boat browser is the best tablet browser in my experience.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] haddis:
Wow, never heard of boat browser... Tried it and i love it :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] eLar19:
I've tried boat browser, and the input lag is less than others, but there's always a bit ... anything else?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] wanzer:
Nothing works well as Dolphin for Tab, in my experience. Btw, I don’t have lags with stock or opera neither, the only thing that annoys me is the half-second lag in the stock browser when you click in an empty text box, due to the keyboard appearing on screen. But this too is not there with Dolphin for Tab (it is different from Dolphin HD, be careful, and I suppose that with the “for Tab” edition you can’t use add-ons yet).

Provalo, è davvero una bomba!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] eLar19:

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cipher77:

should i swap out for the latest?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chicle_11:

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bp_:
I had to install the fix to get my calendar working on 0.6
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoldenOski:
installed both gapps and fix with no ill effects
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuddyJoe83:
the Gapps 20111230 a lot are mentioning works out of the box, no fix needed.

I would recommend those.

But other Gapps, like v10.3/4 etc and v11 work aswell but sometimes with the gapps fix.

there is no reason for you to 'upgrade' to any of these gapps, since the 20111230 version will automatically update the apps in 'em.

It is your choosing though, it won't make much of a difference which one you flash.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cipher77:
thanks!

you know...that's what i was prone to thinking...but, you never know.

thanks for your response.

it's always a good idea to get some confirmation in 'real time' or as much in real time as is possible.

tuts and walk throughs are an excellent learning/practicum tool.

as we all know, however...they can get dated within hours of being posted (rendering them obsolete).

so, double and triple checking never hurts.

even after the fact...

thanks, again!

Thanks, I can confirm it works (recording from the line, not mic) on stock rom, night elf kernel and with root (necessary).

I think root is necessary for that kind of recording. I found recording apps on market that use root but are paid.

I don't know why are so upset. If you are using your phone for 100% legal and ethical reasons then you shouldn't have to worry about those features. I have no problems with people recording me as long as they keep the recordings to themselves. If someone tells me something over the phone I have full right to memorize it and I should have right to archive it. Would you be offended if I wrote down what you said to me over the phone?

As a note I state that I refrine from using this feature in countries where it is illegal.
