[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] amtrakcn:
HC Stock launcher is a resource hog. If you have Nvidia instead of Sammy, it's going to be more laggy.:o

---------- Post added at 11:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 AM ----------

When the CPU is running at high frequencies, it's able to handle the transition. However it's not always at highest frequency and when the switch to high frequency is not fast enough, you observe the slow animations.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Gam3r 4 Life:
If its a hardware issue, then why does it never happen with Go Launcher?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] amtrakcn:
Go Launcher is way more light weight than the Stock HC launcher.

Go Launcher can be smooth on low specs Android devices so it's almost always smooth on our "high end" tablet.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] ClaudiuAwaken:
This problem exists due to the fact that Honeycomb does NOT rely on the GPU for those graphic transitions. In fact, HC does not have hardware acceleration! We just have to wait for ICS to role out for our Galaxy Tabs Plus in order for us to enjoy a butter-smooth UI transtitions.

ICS has hardware accel. so it won't be a problem. The 1.2 ghz dual-core Exynos is powerfull enough

Is an EVO 3d for an e4gt straight across a good deal. I'm getting the e4gt for my 3d
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deedscreen:
The guy that is giving you the Epic Touch is slightly getting ripped off as the Epic Touch is better and has a higher value... In the end, you get the better half of the stick...

Congrats!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
I have them both and I much prefer the epic touch. plus it doesn't feel slowed down by sense. so to me it would actually be an upgrade.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deedscreen:
Which is why I said that (I'm assuming your sex), he is getting the better end of the stick or however the hell I phrased it, :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gibsonusa:
I asked if he wanted any cash on my end. He said no he's not worried about it. Were going to meet at a sprint store do the esn thing and swap phones.

He said he doesn't like tw and prefers sense. And ironically I like tw and hate hate hate sense.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deedscreen:
That means that you got a great deal!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] prasket:
I agree, I just came to Sprint after leaving the Evil AT&T and after researching for a week I decided that the E4GT is the best they have even after 6 months. Congrats.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sumwereinsilence:
Does anyone know if it would be possible to update the bluetooth stack in the Note to BlueZ 4.97, so that it would have support for avrcp 1.3? Ive been waiting for this for a few years with android and saw that they recently updated it, but it hasnt been included in new versions of android as of yet
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] leoilios:
If I could find an oled screen with the same dimensions and resolution as our phone, is there some way to swap it for the lcd we use? Just wondering
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Ohgami_Ichiro:
Probably not. There's no driver for it. Plus it would have to have the same connector as the LCD
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] marc12868:
If you could find one with the same exact size, resolution, and connector (and also uses each pin on the connector for the same purpose), then I would say yes. The probability of finding one that would work slim to none.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
Is the screen we have the same as the G2, or better?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] marc12868:
The MT4GS has a super LCD and the G2 only has a TFT LCD screen so we have a better LCD screen. Although the G2 has Gorilla glass and we don't.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
Oh really? I thought both devices had a S-LCD...

Either way, I'm not planning on dropping my device so Gorilla Glass doesn't matter to me. I take very good care of my devices. Haven't dropped any of my previous 4 phones :D

Just the usual pocket wear. That's the only culprit. Otherwise I would be able to buy and sell my phones back in New condition lol.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] marc12868:
You could still drop it and the screen wouldn't break since its plastic, it's just less scratch resistant than gorilla glass is all. But as far as the LCD screens go that was from GSM arena so it may be right or may not. Usually it's pretty accurate though.

Simple way to root and unroot stock kernel without flashing insecure kernel.

Don't worry about custom counter and yellow triangle, with this method they never appear, because we only rooting, it's a rooting script not a custom kernel.

This rooting script included Busybox installer.

Rooting

Download this File first and put in your SDCARD

- MOD EDIT: Links removed as its the unsafe version...

or download zip from http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager

- SU-Busybox-Installer.zip

Reboot to recovery.

Choose apply update from external storage.

Choose CWM.zip and wait until CWM recovery appear.

Choose install zip from sdcard or external SD

Choose and Install SU-Busybox-Installer.zip

Reboot

You are done and now your device is Rooted

Unroot

Download this File first and put in your SDCARD

- MOD EDIT: Links removed as its the unsafe version...

or download zip from http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager

Choose install zip from sdcard

Choose and Install SU-Uninstaller-Signed.zip

Reboot

You are done and now your device is Unrooted

Tested on latest stock Galaxy S II ICS rom.

Tested on latest Galaxy Note by some user (thanks for report)

Note: This method should work for other device with ICS rom, check CWM that compatible for your device here http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager

[Galaxy S II General] ROHIT345:
Didn't work for me I am on stock LA4...went to stock recovery..tried flashing cwm.zip E: signature verification failed....any advice
[Galaxy S II General] Fredouye:
Tested on stock XXLPB, everything working as expected :)

Thanks !
[Galaxy S II General] freemini:
worked perfectly on LPH. I reset my counter with Jig, updated to LPH(the bootloader too) and used this to use CWM and root. I ended up restoring my CM9 backup and now I'm on the new bootloader(feels faster, may be just me) with no triangle. Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] MasterTB:
Do you loose the ability to install apps to sd card like when you use CF-Root kernels or is it a safe method?

Thanks

---------- Post added at 07:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 AM ----------

About the bootloader that came with lph, when you select it, do you also check update bootloader in odin?

Thanks

---------- Post added at 08:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 AM ----------

root is there but it is not working.

Tried with titanium Backup.. failed.

Still not working INDIAN GT-i9100 model on latest 4.0.3 LPH Stock Rom.

the above link doesnt work not even the original one.. when i reboot i can see su and while installing tb patcher it does ask for root access but while activating patch it say root access denied
[Galaxy S II General] B3311:
You may have the Holy Grail here - a rooting method that doesn't need USB/PC connection.

As far as I know, there is nothing else that can do this.

Market it as such, and you're on a winner.

Any reason why someone without said connection abilities couldn't root with this ROM and then change accordingly?

Still many who don't want ICS, but I'd be interested to hear if anyone's rooted via this method and then successfully changed to GB.
[Galaxy S II General] Nyssa1104:
Sounds good thanks for sharing..:)
[Galaxy S II General] geistteufel:
the cwm screen blink and reset, they is a problem.

I need to use internal sd or external sd ?
[Galaxy S II General] GRACO:
This will trigger the yellow triangle?
[Galaxy S II General] Rachmat3:
Its not a kernel, so this will not give you yellow triangle.
[Galaxy S II General] angelossssss:
Will work on 2.3.6 ?

I'm on official XWLA4.

If it does first i install the CWM.zip and then the SU-Installer-signed.zip ?
[Galaxy S II General] maddesire:
It still says "signature verification failed"

Any luck boys?

---------- Post added at 01:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 AM ----------

My bad! Works fine...

For those who are still stuck, please flash the CWM first and then flash the SU Signed zip file...

This works on ICS as well...

Thanks mate, you ROCK!
[Galaxy S II General] angelossssss:
Didnt work for me.

Tried to flash but both packages say signature verification failed...

Any solution to that?
[Galaxy S II General] Rachmat3:
It only work on ICS, i will try to make it work for GB.
[Galaxy S II General] tankus:
This is perfect! Almost too good to be true! Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] zouz0una:
Ok thanks!!

First of all i downloaded the three files(CWM, SU-Busybox Installer and SU Installer Signed). I formated my external SD card to be sure and put the files in. I rebbooted my phone in a recovery mode, chose apply update from external storage and .../ E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory) Its like i didn't put the files.. or like there is no sdcard. It doesn't make any sense...:confused::confused::confused:
[Galaxy S II General] androsamace:
in which format you have formatted your SD card?
[Galaxy S II General] jcs70:
To root the phone you don't need all files. You only need two files:

- CWM -> Put in the root of external_sd

- SU-Busybox installer -> Put in the root sdcard
[Galaxy S II General] androsamace:
He said failed to mount, may be SD card format is not supported.

.../ E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory) Its like i didn't put the files.. or like there is no sdcard. It doesn't make any sense...
[Galaxy S II General] Simonetti2011:
Other than giving me root, what will this procedure change in phone?

Will it replace the bootloader, recovery or something else?

TIA.
[Galaxy S II General] Corwin9S:
nothing else. it will install busybox (you could update it with the apk from market).

you will need to install yourself "superuser" and "cwm"
[Galaxy S II General] zouz0una:
I used USB and connected it with my computer.. there in the first window where is card and phone i right clicked card and formated... Of course I tried it first without format and did the same thing..(not mount)

---------- Post added at 06:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 PM ----------

Even if I do that still doesn't reads CWM... there is the problem. doesn't find the sd card
[Galaxy S II General] androsamace:
Format with fat32, then try again.
[Galaxy S II General] freakpunker:
I'm having the same issue... =/

E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory)
[Galaxy S II General] zouz0una:
Well as I don't have a card reader or adapter to format with fat32 I formatted through Settings>Storrage>Format sd card... It finally recognized sd so I put CWM in, managed to open it...but(I wonder untill when there will be a ..but) doesn't work... its there but turns on and off without being able to choose something... Come on!!

---------- Post added at 05:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 PM ----------

I think I finally made it... I launched it from rom manager and now its fine...

So the problem was that I hadn't formatted properly sd card!

Finally!!!!

[Galaxy S II General] androsamace:
Yes, sure u can, read all instructions before flash any rom. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Corwin9S:
well... at least :

- ICS ROM

- ROM suitable for your phone
[Galaxy S II General] sunny_ag:
I have LPQ flashed and rooted through this method.

If I flash to LP7, will the root be retained?
[Galaxy S II General] doongoo:
No, it won't. If you a flash a new ROM, you have to root it again.
[Galaxy S II General] djet:
This method seems to have one more flaw: the bundled CWM doesn't detect the .android_secure folder location. It searches for it in the internal storage but it should look into external.

I've read the whole thread but still I don't get how can I flash a permanent CWM. Tried flashing via ROM Manager, it even can boot into (old v4) CWM but it doesn't seem permanent, the stock recovery is still called from cold boot (VolUp combo).
[Galaxy S II General] jcs70:
LP7 rooted !
[Galaxy S II General] angelossssss:
Does this work on Galaxy Nexus stock 4.0.4 ROM?
[Galaxy S II General] mljjlm:
It's because the recovery is compiled into the kernel on Samsung devices. So you will have to find a kernel with build-in custom recovery like CF-Root for stock roms :-)
[Galaxy S II General] sam5154:
+1

Thank you Rachmat3.

worked fine on LP3 and LPQ. gonna try it on LP7.

I think it's the best method. No need to flashing an unsecure kernel via odin. so custom binary counter won't change. and among similar methods it has the best result. I had tried adb method either(on GB), but for some apps I wasn't able to grant root access.
[Galaxy S II General] alidogar:
Root on LP7

just for info...

this rootin metghod works on LP7 aswell:D
[Galaxy S II General] darkfiremark:
Whats are PROs and CONS of that secure kernel root install and unsecure kernel flashing? (like CF-Root)
[Galaxy S II General] BrainB0ne:
Confirmed working on LP7

Very easy root method. :D

Maybe a little bit off topic..

Titanium Backup could succesfully freeze some bloatware apps like bol.com and the Reader/Gaming/Social/Reader Hubs and last but not least that terrible Samsung MMM crap app :)

One thing I noticed is that the AdAway app could not modify the system/etc/hosts file even though root rights are granted.

I assume this is due to the secure kernel? :)

I will try to the create a symlink to data/data/hosts using ADB soon because that's the suggested workaround when reading the AdAway help.

Update: I started to create a symlink, and wanted to execute the following 2 commands:

mv /system/etc/hosts /system/etc/hosts.bak

ln -s /data/data/hosts /system/etc/hosts

booted into CWM by flashing the CWM.zip, starting ADB shell on PC, no superuser rights are granted, just the $ prompt, doing a command like: mv /system/etc/hosts /system/etc/hosts.bak gives a permission denied error.

Then, a tried to be smart and first executed "su", this however gives a segmentation fault.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb shell
~ $ su
su
Segmentation fault
~ $ mv /system/etc/hosts /system/etc/hosts.bak
mv /system/etc/hosts /system/etc/hosts.bak
mv: can't rename '/system/etc/hosts': Permission denied
[Galaxy S II General] Sincci:
Well, you can just use the non-permanent CWM from this thread and flash the latest Siyah kernel's cwm version .zip and then reboot your device. That will root your device, enable permanent cwm and won't increase your flash counter. Plus of course you'll get an amazing kernel with many cool features like BLN which now won't even drain your battery :)
[Galaxy S II General] imani:
Confirmed

Confirmed, works on LPS official rom.
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
if i do factory reset, root stays? or have to do it again?

---------- Post added at 10:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 AM ----------

[Galaxy S II General] iNeri:
No problem. It's a permanent root no matter if you do a factory reset.

Hi

This rooting technique is great except that it does not work for MyBackup Pro (which fails to restore Application Data). Does anyone have any pointers to get this working? My Backup Pro is granted root as requested (Superuser toast is displayed) but it silently fails to restore App Data. It works fine with the CF-Root modified kernel rooting but not with this type of rooting. I've tried updating Busybox (to 1.19.3) just in case but still no luck.

My SGS2 runs i9100XWLP7 (XEU) but this problem was also in earlier builds.

Thanks

[Galaxy S II General] chilsta:
Worked, but...

This worked for me, I've just updated from GB to stock ICS via Odin then needed root to restore via Titanium Backup. All worked well, except I couldn't seem to get to the external SD when I needed to install the SU-Busybox zip. Ended up having to move it to the internal storage, then got to it fine through CW Recovery.

Thanks for such an elegant solution.

Yep I used the files from the first page install cwm through the stock recovery and then install su installer through cwm recovery hope this helps you :-)
[Galaxy S II General] ataru:
It didn't work for me... I came from a stock GB ROM updated OTA... should I wipe dalvik?
[Galaxy S II General] chavocarlos:
If i use this method to root and to temporaly have CWM then I could flash CF-Root with this CWM to become it permanent?

With this steps, the counter won't be increased, but the triangle appears right?

[Galaxy S II General] blde99:
Not sure if any one else has picked up on this but thought I'd throw my 2p's worth in anyway.

I used this method to root my GT-I9100P then installed a custom ROM WITHOUT incrementing the custom flash counter, also no yellow triangle of doom.

Here's what I did:

After rooting using this method, I downloaded the F1 GalaxyNexus ROM from here.

I then installed ROM Manager from the Play Store and installed CWM using that.

Rebooted into CWM from ROM Manager and installed the F1-GalaxyNexus-GalaxyS2-20120501.zip after a full wipe and /system format.

I then installed gapps from the above thread.

I then installed the NFC Enabler for ICS from here.

Job done! :D
[Galaxy S II General] ataru:
So, it works with no-brand stock rom of I9100P?
[Galaxy S II General] blde99:
Yes it works fine. I was getting the "Cannot mount /sdcard/" error in recovery, but solved that by formatting the external sdcard. After that it was a doddle.
[Galaxy S II General] ataru:
it's a LPF?
[Galaxy S II General] blde99:
It was I9100PBVLP6, though it isn't anymore since I am now using F1 GalaxyNexus ROM

Incorrect busybox

I'm afraid that attached busybox is not fully compatible with ICS. I've got following errors:

D/RootTools v1.7(17766): error stream: ls: /system/xbin/busybox: Value too large for defined data type

It looks like this issue: https://code.google.com/p/busybox-android/issues/detail?id=1

AdAway is not working either giving this error:

D/RootTools v1.7(18803): error stream: cp: can't stat '/data/data/org.adaway/files/hosts': Value too large for defined data type

Busybox upgrade to 1.20.0 solved the problem.

it worked

then battery seemed to be discharging very very quickly

next thing i know the phone is dead ,, and i mean totally dead

no life, no boot, not a sign of anything

took battery out lots of times. tried different chargers. still dead

too it to service centre this morning.. hopefully they will not notice it was rooted as i guess they will need to get it to power on which will of fixed it before they can look
