Recieved ics update and waiting for root

So I got the ice update to the device and it works great. I'm hoping to see root instructions very soon. Does anybody know if someone is working in this?

---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 PM ----------

Cause I can't post URLs yet I found "unlockroot . com"

So I found this site has anyone tried this as of yet. Says it can root ICS for the a200 so I'm actually curious if this works. I'm not able to do it till later tonight so if anyone gets a chance could you let me know if it works?

Tryed "unlockroot"

So I just got home and tried the unlockroot method with no success. i installed the drivers from acer put it in usb debugging mode. Clicked root and it showed the device. I didn't get any errors but the device did not root. Total bummer. If it works for any of you guys please let me know maybe i'm doing it wrong.
[General Questions and Answers] nyb3017:
How would you know if its rooted?
[General Questions and Answers] d10369319:
how to know if you have root

If you install a root application and check if it works that's the best way to know. For instance if you try to install busy box it will fail if you don't have root. If you have root it will successfully install. That's the best way I know off.

I dont think thats a good idea

:confused:

MIUI is a great ROM,I mean the UI is superb way better than most of the other mainstream Custom ROMS.

But performance wise,its not that good.

I once read somewhere that a guy running MIUI on his HTC Desire Z (800Mhz,512mb RAM,Ardreno 205) had some problems with it.Like slow boot up,sluggish interface etc.

Hence I think a 1Ghz processor is a minimum requirement for smooth operation of MIUI.

And a friend of mine told me that MIUI eats up battery a lot faster than stock or CM7/CM9...(friend's phone- LG Optimus 2x).

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tonyp22:
I contributed only a tiny bit to the CM7 Alpha thread in the Development section, explaining how to use MiniTool Partition Wizard as a start to prep an SD card if you're in Windows. I decided to try the Ubuntu method just to have that in my pocket but ran into some trouble.

I've used Ubuntu CD boot before, but never to do something like gparted. I've done this in other linux systems so I'm a little familiar with it. What happened was I removed all the existing partitions from my guinea-pig SD card, used gparted to create the 50MB FAT32 and 2 2GB ext4 partitions. Formatted. Did the lba and boot on the FAT32. But when I went to copy the system files into the system ext4 I got "permission denied". Both ext4 partitions did not allow write access, and I could not change it using either the Permissions panel or command line chmod. I suspect this is something obvious but I can't figure out what to do.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] RadicalAns:
I believe you have to copy the files to the system partition as the root user.

Enter the command:

$ sudo file-roller

After you enter your password, this will open up the archive manager as root. Open the system.ext4.tar from within archive manager, and then extract the files to your system partition.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tonyp22:
Yeah, I did that. Don't know why it didn't work. I'll give it another try tonight.

[Nokia Lumia 800] dy_domyoung:
I've noticed that on my Nokia Lumia 800, you can not exit programs or close them down, its seems i can only press back or the windows button.

Are these now running in the background and causing my battery to suffer?

If so are there any sort of task killers or enders.

Also 2 other issues i've noticed are that when i ring people my phone just goes black and does not give me a key pad any sort of button to end the call.

Also when i play my music, it does not have a stop button just a pause, and when i exit it just starts playing from paused. Only time i can get it to stop is when i turn my phone off/on.

Any feedback will help greatly.
[Nokia Lumia 800] dannejanne:
WP7 has no real multitasking. So even if an app is "open" in the background it is paused and won't do anyting. Except spotify and the music app that can run in the background.

Task killers is an evil thing on Android and so would be on windows phones. They are not needed as the system handles these things better themselves.

If the screen is black after a call, press power button and it will light up. This is a bit buggy, to end calls at times. Usually I just wait till the other person ends the call so it quits automatically.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Boburto:
This isn't android. There's no need to worry about apps once you exit them, or worry about the music player. If it isn't playing then it isn't doing anything.

That's one of the joys of iOS and WP7. You do what you need to do and never have to worry about what the phone is doing. What's the point of a phone where you need to constantly worry about task killing?
[Nokia Lumia 800] anseio:
So true. I hated that about Android. Most tasks that kept starting were things I never wanted to use. Had to use Titanium Backup to freeze them. What a pain.
[Nokia Lumia 800] apollo15rover:
Yeah, but when I had Android, all I can say is Thank God for Titanium Backup! I wish we had the equivalent on WP7 - would be nice for the few times I've had to reset my Lumia..
[Nokia Lumia 800] Boburto:
There is a backup for windows phone. It's in the WP7 section of this forum. I've used it before. It backs up the entire phone. (i'd have to search for it)
[Nokia Lumia 800] anseio:
Yes. Wp7 is in serious needs of a real backup/restore solution.
[Nokia Lumia 800] chaihg:
Had an opportunity to encounter the main guy behind the Windowsphonehacker. I think his id is Jaxbot or something liek that.

I am just waiting for Chevron to start off again.
[Nokia Lumia 800] nexus2515:
Hey, where here everyone hating android....

After android 2.2, there is no need of task killers..

I think you guys haven't tried android 2.2 or 2.3
[Nokia Lumia 800] anseio:
Coming from 2.3.5 and 2.3.7 I can say that a task killer was necessary. Processes opened up and did whatever they wanted whenever. I had to freeze a few things in Titanium Backup and then set a whole bunch others to autokill. It's annoying that apps can up and do whatever they want whenever they want on the Android OS.
[Nokia Lumia 800] EShy:
That's just not true. The resource management on Android is problematic. The problem isn't that apps I'm using and switching between are still using resources in the background. If I opened an app and I expect it to still do something, that's fine. The problem is that after an hour or two, if you check any task manager, a ton of apps are listed as running.

You can say these apps aren't really running all the time and are frozen, but they were running at some point without me starting them. These apps do take resources, drain battery and make the phone's performance crap. Everytime I would kill those tasks, the phone would be snappy again. Setting a task killer to automatically kill these apps once an hour, increases battery life.

on ios and windows phone, only one app is really running and the others are suspended. There are a few exceptions (like music players)

on windows phone, you can completely control which apps are allowed to work in the background and start on their own and the OS controls when these apps can run to perform some operation and devs are very limited in what they can do. so apps don't start on their own without the user being able to control that and apps don't stay running in the background forever without the user ever knowing about it
[Nokia Lumia 800] adempozhari:
are you kidding me????

once i had adds on my taskbar due to some auto start app.
[Nokia Lumia 800] beidl:
I'm sorry, but if you actually use an app that uses AirPush ads, it's your fault.

Never ever support developers that use this useless piece of crap ad service.

I happen to know a thing or two about mobile development (not only Android but also iOS and WP7) and they are all designed to not have to care about task killers.

Also, if someone really has to bash an OS because of problem X or Y, take a look at how the system works and realize that everything is perfect (for example, Android keeps the VM running to make the app start up faster, but as long as no code has to run through, the VM is just sitting there. Why have all the RAM if you're not using it?)

Please guys, start to read things up if you have no clue. Nobody should have to care about task killers at all and that's what ALL of our current mobile OS's are designed for. Start to develop apps for every single OS if you really want to brag about restrictions and design problems.
[Nokia Lumia 800] anseio:
Ok, this is great and all that no one should have to think about task killers, but the obvious truth is that Android allows things to run whenever they damn well want to.

For example: Google Books likes to run in the background. Why? I don't use it. I don't want it. Yet, it still does what it wants to.
[Nokia Lumia 800] beidl:
The virtual machine is just sitting there, doing nothing. It helps speed up restarting the app in case it has been wiped off the memory. The VM still is in RAM, but no execution is happening as long as you start the app up again. Also, it might be itting in the background, doing nothing, waiting for the Google services to trigger a sync, in case a new book has been added to your library. If you have sync disabled in your account settings then it's just sitting there doing absolutely nothing and will finally be just wiped off the memory itself in case an app needs the resources.

With task killers, you kill a lot of apps that are flagged as "Don't kill me, I'll reapper as soon as possible", causing more trouble because the whole VM process has to be restarted, the app has to be reinitiated, code has to be reexecuted etc. That's the perfect way of working against how an operating system works.
[Nokia Lumia 800] jago25_98:
To add a point,

it's important to note that there are 2 different things being discussed here:

1) Cached tasks that are suppose to not cause any lag,

but do

. We know this because we see immediate lag fixes after killing cached tasks but not services.

2) Services that are unnecessary, such as Google Books and Fring.

I think there's a reason why Apple chooses to disallow multitasking even if it's a quintessential as playing a tune while browsing on the iPad in 2012 - it may be a crude solution but it's simple.

Personally I'm tied to a battery hog app due to social means, so I'm looking for an automated service killer for Fring.

There is also the 3rd accusation

3) that the service 'Android OS' in ICS 4.0.3 causes drain in some circumstances for some people who have installed apps but also ruled out (1) & (2)... possibly wake lock related even though there should be no wake locks.

People rarely disagree on things enough to argue unless they're actually talking about different things without noticing. So be sure to clarify which of these 3 wakelock related things you are talking about to keep everyone sweet.

The best of course is to blank everything and start again for testing but failing that use a wake lock measuring app. Can anyone recommend one for me?

[Galaxy Tab General] nelsonoski1972:
Do not attempt it.

Each version of Tab(7", 8·9", 10.1" )has different hardware.

If u flash incompatible ROM u may damage the mother board and u will be in a mess.

Find ur device specific forum and get compatible ROMS.
[Galaxy Tab General] rkmj:
I have to second that. In fact, I'd take it a bit farther to say that the Verizon tab has LTE radios and if you tried to flash a stock rom or even a custom one that wasn't made specifically for the Verzion LTE tab, it won't work. You might not damage the system board, but you definitely won't be able to boot it, and chances are pretty good that you might even brick it. Unfortunately, there isn't much dev going on for the Verizon version, so you're stuck with the stock Verizon LTE rom for now. Sorry

Search for rooting, just rooting, one word. Look for posts having larger number of hits and replies. I would read the first few posts by the original poster (OP) and then starting reading from the 5th last page to the last page.

If that doesn't help, repeat.

As for the download links not working, you wouldn't be the only one. So then search for words like mirror, download, link, links, db.tt, dropbox, etc If you don't find anything, post in that thread requesting for a download link for the exact file you need.

That's because, as far as I know, only T-Mo uses the oddball frequencies.

AT&T phones are 3G world phones. I've taken my various AT&T phones to Europe with 3G (including moto RAZR & BB 9000). That's the only real reason I haven't switched to T-Mobile (that and I'm on a family plan).

And Helroz unlocker works. I've used on my stock, rooted I777. Just try it. I've tried it on phones that don't work, and it just does nothing (but that's why it takes the backup anyway). When you learn how it works, you know what risk there is (if any).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
Before you do anything to your phone like installing a ROM, make sure you read AND understand what you're doing beforehand.

The procedures are all spelled out in their respective threads, so read, read and read. This place does not exist to bail people out when things go wrong because they tried doing something they didn't fully understand. And it is always better to post to an existing related thread rather than start a new one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CyberManiaK:
There are some T-mobiles phones that work also on the 850 freq. For example the Samsung Exhibit 2 4g this one will work on t-mo and att.

That's true. Is that one of the pentaband phones?

Either way, that's phone specific. Most t-mobile phones don't support it yet as I understand. Although what I said was related to the I777 working on T-Mobile, not the other way around.

However with the new roaming agreement with AT&T, which will give them access to 850 & 1900, that might change.
