[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I assume that Google Video Rental is why you want to remain unrooted then?

If its anything like Mobile Iron security (For corporate email), it detects whether you have the SU Binary present or not.

Essentially, removing /system/app/Superuser.apk and /system/bin/su will remove root from your device. It will function, but you cannot use root functions.

With Mobile Iron, it has no way to detect s-on or s-off. Some phones don’t have s-on anyway so this doesn’t matter. Some chap uses my ROM without su and Superuser, with a custom Hboot (S-off) and uses mobile Iron. I *assume* Google video will be the same.

S-OFF and being rooted are 2 different things. Root ju8st means you have superuser access. Like Windows PC administrator.

S-off means the security flag is off, so you can change things in /system whilst android is running. S-on is a protection to stop you deleting things you shouldn’t

Just a note though, this will mean you cannot use a2sd+ or data2sd etc as they need root to function...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roscobigfoot:
Just adding to rootSU's answer as he didn't answer your questions about some ROM's.

You can find all the desire ROM's and everything you also need to know here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=809328

Yes there is many stock HTC ROM's with no bloatware and miui should work without root but many of its additional functions will be disabled so it would be pretty pointless having it...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Just a short note-if the su binary/superuser.apk is the problem, why not have a script which renames both? you can switch between functional and non functional version in a 'tap'. ;)

su should have a functional copy elsewhere though, because without su you won't be able to rename system files
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roscobigfoot:
True that would work but im not aware of any such scripts and the question asker doesnt seem like a dev willing to make one...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Hey thats a good idea. Would need to definitely be s-off though.

Not sure if these apps "remember" your device or not. Assume not?!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
One needn't be a dev to write a simple bash script. ;)

Don't know. Never used one of these. :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roscobigfoot:
I realise that now lol im kinda a noob :P but not mega nooby...

he would still need some1 to explain to him or something though...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Its dead simple. Basic linux commands.

mv /system/bin/su /system/bin/sux
mv /system/app/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apkx
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Only problem is trying to rename it back.. you will get a permissions error if trying to rename sux back, since su is missing. You'd have to manually exec sux first, then run the command/script which moves it back.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Would it exec as sux?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
It will, but a program like script manager won't though.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
no, indeed.

i want to try google video rental and i have had my fun with rooted roms now i would like to go back to a stock unrooted rom but witout carrier bloatware etc .

i read something about the asus transformer etc if the device is s off it removes the ability to use or view drm protected media ,something like that does it apply to this phone?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keith456:
i know about this thread , but i dont get wear the unrooted roms are besides the ruu stuff . does pre rooted mean the rom is rooted ? or does it mean it's rooted ready ?

i read somewhere on xda of a unrooted rom , i'm sure somwhere in xda there is a desire unrooted rom excluding ruu stock etc .
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
No you cant have stcok without bloatware without a rooted rom. Its all or nothing. but you CAN remove root from a custom ROM.

You could for example, get hold of Teppic74's rooted stock ROM, strip the crap and root out of the zip file and flash it. However, I really think you are losing a lot become unrooted or S-ON.

I think its best to simply test teh app first and see what it works with. Theres a chance you have to do nothing.

And never take into account what happens on other devices as they are all so very different under the hood.

I am currently running Sky ICS and I am able to flash a new update just fine. After settling in and restoring all of my apps I will restart. After restarting my phone will just start freezing up. It seems the media scanning is delayed when restarted. I have already tried the Odin method. I even wiped EMMC. After starting completely fresh it is still having the issue. My phone is completely unusable (no texting because of media scanner not working correctly?, data doesn't work either). Anyone else having this issue?

[General Questions and Answers] azii:
hi, i am new in android world :) i wanted to know how to install application from memory card to handset, for example i have android Huawei U8150 when i attached with PC and copy any application in memory card. then from where in mobile i found that pasted application and install in the mobile,

like Nokie paste application in memory card, inside mobile go to file manager>memory card and found there pasted application can easily run and install.

can some one please help me
[General Questions and Answers] docweird:
You need a rooted phone, then you can install applications with a program like "AppInstaller" which is available free from the Android Store.
[General Questions and Answers] lmxf:
u need to install some file manager like "astro file manager" to go into ur root of memory card and fualah u found ur apk files and prcoeed to the installation step :D
[General Questions and Answers] Archer:
You do not need to root your phone to install apps from the memory card. You do, as stated above by lmxf, need a file explorer app.

The only other thing you will need to check is that your phone will allow you to install apps that are not directly from the Android Market. It's something along the lines of Settings -> Applications -> Unknown sources.
[General Questions and Answers] azii:
Thanks for the reply dear, i need to just copy on memory card and then go to appinstaller it will be there?
[General Questions and Answers] Archer:
You don't need appinstaller. Just get a file explorer. Copy the apk file from your PC to your SD card and then use the file explorer on your phone to browse to it. Click it and it will run and install.
[General Questions and Answers] azii:
where can i download file explorer ?
[General Questions and Answers] Archer:
The Android Market.

https://market.android.com/

Just go there and search for whatever you need. You should also have it on your phone.

[Nexus S General] reddv1:
So now that Google disabled the Google Wallet prepaid card, how do we get our money back we put on it or have access to it.

I logged on to Google Wallet website and only my credit cards I setup show up, the prepaid card doesn't show up. I would think Google would allow you to see and manage that card from the website, but you can't.

What do you guys think of this situation?

I don't really need the money from the card now, but I would think Google should at least send an email to Google Wallet user explaining the situation with the security of the app and fate of our money.
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
Right there with you buddy. Its bunk.

I have about $20 invested in Wallet myself
[Nexus S General] Stealyourface:
I think you can still use the rest of the money on it but you just can't add anymore. I just used it on Friday.
[Nexus S General] mattallica76:
^^^This is correct.
[Nexus S General] 8616v:
they still should have sent out a brief email....it would have taken approximately 0 effort on their part.....

Weird I could have sworn I saw visa joining Google Wallet for NFC and that all the paper work was being taken care of lol.. but if visa makes an NFC app then I'm using both Wallet and Visa ^_^

I can log in on my phone see my pre paid card. I haven't flashed a ROM in a while though
[Nexus S General] snandlal:

[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
They never removed any prepaid cards. They just disabled adding new prepaid cards.
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
Speak for yourself. At one point my card was still there but money bank would not verify so it said 0 when i actually did have money on there. Finally, my money<---- not card, is back.
[Nexus S General] mattallica76:
Google re-enabled provisioning last night. All is back to normal again. You can recharge and add prepaid cards again.

But the people who reset their wallet app data during the non provision period are stuck waiting for google. Mine still says prepaid unavailable

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prometeo1973:
Hi there,

recently got an Olipad110 for free from a supplier of mine and this rooting procedure that works, allegedly: http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/medion...ml#post1927511

The hardware itself isn't bad at all, although not the most updated out there although there's nothing more that the red "O" coming from Olivetti, in fact it is manifactured and designed by Quanta in Taiwan and was originally sold by Medion in Australia with the name of "Lifetab P9514".

And I have also discovered that not later than past week Medion has released an update to Android 4.0.4 for its product line, which is exactly the same as Olivetti's.

So I was wondering... if I bother to go trough the rather discouraging rooting deal, will there be a way to modify model's identifiers in order to get the Medion's ICS upgrade?

Any clue?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dir3ctor:
Hi!

I've recently had enough of Honeycomb on my olipad and tried to do something with this. With success :)

As olipad is the same hardware as lifetab, roms designed for the second one are valid for "O". The only difference is in partitions, so we need to completly wipe out rom, partition it and upload lifetab rom. This all can be done by using this script: https://hotfile<dot>com/dl/161367784/f97f03c/LTrecHC.tar.gz.html

After applying script from this archive, you will have new partitioning on your tablet, and lifetab android 3.2 will be on it.

Next step is to download upgrade from medion website, put it on sd card and use update application that is avaliable on tablet to make upgrade to ICS :) Next, you can root ICS exactly the same as lifetab :D

At first i bought an HTC sensation. This was the regular version (not the xe of xl). On this one, my email via exchange was in HTML format. One day i dropped my phone, it broke and got a new one.

I picked the XE edition for more battery power. But now, i cant get HTML mail to work. I found a few feeds where this option can be edited in the database, but how come this worked in stock whit my previous phone?

Do i realy have to root my phone and edit my phone manual, or is their something i overlooked??

Skitch or Smart Diagram

Skitch and Smart Diagram both allow drawing of lines. I think both are free, although the free SD version has a limit on document numbers.

Skitch has the advantage of a free-form note and integration with Evernote (a beautiful app if ever there was one).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] HasC:
phatpad is also another paid app and works well with the Note.

If you go to their website, you can try it free for 24hrs by downloading the apk.

I'm not a student but there are apps like Soonr Scribble, ezPDF and iAnnotate that allow drawing and scribbling on top of your documents, etc. Then there are also Mindjet, and Epistle. Would like to hear what others have to say! :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] rebista:
There is also FreeNote in the market. But after initial enthusiasm I uninstalled it. But others may like it better that I did.

I found/tried Phatpad yesterday. It is great because you can freely place everything everywhere: Text, scribbled notes and graphics. You can edit everything if you reopen a document, which you cannot do with Skitch (which would be a great app otherwise). Phatpad allows to lasso-select and move parts of the document around. That's a rare find for android 2.3 apps.

All in all it's a well composed app.

But ... it's very buggy. And for the prize (which otherwise would be absolutely justified) it's too buggy IMO.

If you can wait for ICS there are a few free-note-taking apps for 3.0 and higher which look very promising.
