[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MonkeyThumper:
Sorry for the cross post, but this message didn't seem to be getting any looks under the NOOB thread. I put it there thinking the answer would be something good for a NOOB to know, but if nobody reads that thread, it is useless...so, I am trying here in the Q&A. Since I'm new, I couldn't post the question in the DEV forum with the Mashi threads. Feel free to delete the duplicate in the NOOB thread.

I searched for this through the NOOB thread, both Mashi threads, the "To root or not root..." thread, and did a search for "reinstall apps", but couldn't find a definite answer.

The closest answer I found was someone said that I "wouldn't lose my data", but that doesn't tell me if I have to reinstall the apps to see that data, and if I have to reconfigure everything again. That is the part that scares me the most! I really REALLY don't want to have to reconfigure a couple of the apps I use. Some of my installed apps have their own backup feature, but some don't.

Maybe the answer to this will help others understand what they are getting into.

So...If I install the Mashi Root to my Note, that already has my apps installed/setup/configured, will I lose any of that?

I'm wanting to root, so that I can install my backup software, but it is a shame that my backup software is useless to me until I get a root done.

Thanks!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] droidal:
Rooting your phone will not erase your data or apps. Flashing ROM's will and you'll want to buy Titanium Backup Pro to back up your apps and data before doing that. But rooting is safe and you won't lose anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MonkeyThumper:
Thanks for the reply. I just wanted someone to verify that info for me. I do already have a paid copy of Titanium Backup Pro on my HP Touchpad, and really wanted to use it on my Note. Just wasn't sure if this type of rooting did anything different than what I am used to doing with on my Touchpad.

Later!

UPDATE: I just did the Mashi root, and everything is still there just like droidal said it would. No problems with the root, and I have verified that my apps that can use SU are actually using it just fine. I just followed the directions carefully, and had it completed in less than 15 minutes. Hopefully, this info will help anyone that is thinking about doing this, and wondering what happens to their existing data.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the answer Droidal and thanks also to MonkeyThumper for the follow-up. Great thread, in spite of it's briefness. :)
[Dell Streak 7] toolongtospell:
OK, so here is my predicament. I work for a company that just received thousands of these Dell Streak 7s, and I am in charge of testing them for bulk resale. I've worked on Android Tablets before (Asus Transformer) running 3.2, and they had the ability to navigate to the SD card without a file explorer; I'm trying to find out if the Dell Streak 7 is capable of the same task. I have a Stability Test apk on a SD card that I would like to install on each tablet to stress test each one. I'm trying to make this as simple as a process as possible. If you could help me in any way possible I would be forever grateful.

You have DISCUSSION THREAD for FERALAB ROMs http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1489214

But here's answer, and ofc, you have new FIX on Feralab ROM thread..

Extract fix.zip file, and from /system/media/bootanimation.zip copy this file "bootanimation.zip" and paste into /system/media (on your phone) (it will replace with "bootanimation.zip" in there). Put "Permissions" all left side checked..

For messaging..From fix.zip, copy file /system/app/conversation.apk and paste it into /system/app/conversation.apk (on your phone) - (overwrite it), and set all left side in "Permissions" checked (like with bootanimation.zip)..and reboot..

It should work then..

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] je55ter:
There are now several mobile browsers out there that do an excellent job of bringing the full desktop web browsing experience to mobile platforms. Yet for all their polish, there's one thing you still simply can not do on any mobile browser I'm aware of, and that's work with a drag/drop interface on a web page.

Now I get that there's a conflict between touch screen scrolling and drag/drop, but does that mean we should have no access to drag/drop at all? You'd think at least one browser dev by now would have thought to include a toggleable option to temporarily lock scrolling to allow the mousedown/mousemove/mouseup events to fire on the underlying web app. Or if they wanted to get creative, they could probably come up with a multitouch gesture to support drag/drop.

Is there something I'm missing that makes this a lot harder than I think? You'd think it would be a great selling point for any of the mobile browser's to say, "look what our software can do that can't be done on any other mobile browser!"
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xery:
I thought about this too, It seems as simple as just a gesture to say, circle what you want and then drag and drop. I don't think it is that simple though, suppose we are missing something.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the-Mike_D:
Did ya'll ever figure out any solution? I know on facebook you can't rearrange photos in an album using the mobile app or even the mobile webview. You'd have to be using a desktop so that you can drag photos around and drop them into the order that you want. Desktop view works well enough on modern Android devices but without drag/drop I still have to go to an actual pc in order to arrange photos which is an annoyance of course. Also, there's obviously other scenarios throughout the web where this would be helpful as well. I don't mouse connected to my Android device but I'm wondering if I should get one, maybe bluetooth, just so that I can experiment with it to see if it's actual normal pc operation that would allow left and right click behavior.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Itbelikedat:
I am with you guys. Drag and drop will make android complete, and possibly, superior to everything else.

I used a keyboard and mouse with my HTC one s, trying to see if it made a difference, but, still no drag and drop within multiple web browsers. :eek:

There has to be a way to accoplish this within android web browsing.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Itbelikedat:
Good news! The guys at chromium (google chrome developers) are working on this very issue! It shouldn't be long until we all can enjoy the drag and drop in android browser! Hopefully....

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mermaidkiller:
I tried this, but it is absolutely crap. It seems it uses a proxy and possibly monitors all your data traffic.

But why is there NO DECENT browser after FOUR YEARS of Android supporting dragging ???

Indeed just a simple gesture to start dragging. From then swiping over the screen is interpreted as mouse drag events until, e.g. the same gesture is played again. Soooo simple,

[HTC EVO 3D] Phillmitchell:
EVO was a bad seller.unpopular and no community.Sensation on the other hand is goiing to get ICS with sense 4 shortly and will be getting another firmware upd ateafter ICS but the EVO will only get ICS later on in the year and will be the last update whilst being heavier and has a pointless meaninless 3d,
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Sense 3.6 not 4.0 on the sensation BTW. This confirmed by Jeff Gordon in a recent interview, who is in charge of global communications for HTC...also the guy is around this site too and posts some.

If 3D is pointless to you and you want to knock the device then why get it in the first place.

To the OP that choice is up to u as everyone has their own belief on it. It's like saying if u should get HTC or Samsung phone...endless debate and only one opinion matters and that's ur own.
[HTC EVO 3D] unclekeith:
I wish I woulda went with the sensation. Most of my favorite devs from the DHD/Inspire are on there.

Not to take away from the devs here. Their great. Just not nearly as many.

Seems more leaks are functionable on the sensation too.
[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
Just to put this out there, I'm keeping my EVO 3D after I get my next phone in June. I like it, flat out.
[HTC EVO 3D] unclekeith:
I do love the phone itself. Just the amount of devs on the sensation makes me envious. The only thing I don't like bout the evo is spotty wimax.
[HTC EVO 3D] SoraX64:
That's a question for you to answer yourself. We can't tell you whether or not you like your phone. Me? I like this phone. It doesn't have the same impact as the OG Evo did on me (that being my first ever decent phone) but it's still a pretty solid phone. Been able to run ICS on it since I got it after the New Year. I see very little wrong with this phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] DoctorComrade:
Devs for the Evo are better. 'nuff said. Yeah. Thats right. I said at it. And I'm a badass too. Come at me. ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
This is a true statement. Some of the devs have been with us for a while being that they've stayed with Sprint all this time. We start getting to know everyone.
[HTC EVO 3D] tgruendler:
Everything in this post, except for the timeframe of ICS updates, is so untrue. Just saying.
[HTC EVO 3D] ljubisat100:
I was drawn to EVO 3d becouse of its design, like it more than Sensation. Having 1gb of rom, opposite to Sensations 768mb, was a one more reason to have it. Not to mention that it should be HTC's flag ship. When all started heading down hill, seed of doubt was planted. Wanted to hear other people opinions.

[HTC EVO 3D] chROMed:
Love my evo, just not happy with sprints data speeds in my area, sensation is getting ics sooner which doesnt make since to me, what do i know though. I never really use the 3d feature. Sprint has some catching up to do service wise. If i was in the market now for a new phone and carrier, i would look elsewhere. Im not hating sprint or evo. Dont take it that way. In my area, dataspeeds are horrible, may be ok for you though if your in a major metro area.

[HTC EVO 3D] notsointeresting:
The 1gb of RAM compared to the sensations 768Mb did it for me. Usually its not a huge deal...but c'mon we're talking about two sense phones here lol.

I personally do like the 3D feature of the device two, pretty much to the point so far where I might only purchase another phone if it had 3D (which is unlikely since im a minority)
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
If I were you, I'd get the Sensation because it has a bigger user base = more devs.
[HTC EVO 3D] chlehqls:
This.

Go where there is a more robust developing community. Not bashing anybody who develops on this phone since they made my EVO 3D a beast, but I realized that huge International phones like the Sensation and GSII are miles ahead in getting things done.
[HTC EVO 3D] chw9999:
Guys, why did some of you buy the Evo 3D first hand at all - if not of for the 3D?

THAT should've been the main reason - best 3D compared to any other phone, and good overall performance for everything else (save the battery ;)). I was "back then" really drawn to the Sensation, but it had NO 3D. I'd have almost bought the LG, but luckily was saved by HTC ;)

I never expected it to catch on, because the people apparently see 3D only as a gimmick (sic!), and a low priority one as that..."3D? Uh, yeah, cool... but does it play Angry Birds? Show me!"...

So, lessons learned: Next time buy the phone you need... :D I hope my 3D stays with me a long time.

Cheers

[LG Revolution] iamjerry123:
what specficially does this do
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
Changes the algorithms on your phone that interpret what equalizer settings your phone uses by default.
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
It will work with any Gingerbread or ICS build. Just make sure you mount /system in recovery before flashing.
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
It was proven that the Beats Audio doesn't work by somebody who commented in the thread and the maker raged at him even though the guy had 100% proof that it didn't work so unless the maker actually made it work you'll just hear the same thing with or without.
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
Beats Audio does work. I won't argue with you though. Flash it or don't, doesn't bother me either way.

The reason why the zip file from XDA didn't work is because there was no command in the updater-script to mount /system. Therefore the zip file didn't flash anything. I commented on that exact thread trying to tell people that was the problem but I guess my comment was overlooked. I can promise you that if you mount /system then flash the zip, it works.
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
I used the one you posted awhile ago I still have it flashed but I am unable to tell a difference. But i'd rather stick with facts instead of mind tricks.
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
Lol OK guy. It's all a mind trick. That's my plan haha.
[LG Revolution] stackrat:
This is great. I was always disappointed with the sound quality of this phone. My old Ally sounded better.
[LG Revolution] iamjerry123:
Can you give a step by step tutorial on how to do it?
[LG Revolution] BandaPear:
-Download the zip posted on the first page or on page 3 of this thread

-Boot into CWM

-select mounts and storage

-mount /system

-back into the main menu of cwm

-install zip

-browse to the downloaded zip

-select it

-confirm

-back out to the main menu

-reboot/power off

Then to check that it worked, look in /system/bin for files with 'ibeats' in the name; they'll only be there if it worked. You'll need some form of root file browser for this, I use root explorer.

btw, is this only for earphones? or is it also fo rthe speakers too?
[LG Revolution] BandaPear:
It should change the speaker as well, though it may only act on music and music apps, not calls. I'm not certain, but that's what I suspect. From what I've heard, it's basically changing the equalizer settings to get a better acoustic response, so it shouldn't matter if you're using headphones, earbuds, or the built-in speaker(s).

Obviously, if anyone has contrary information, feel free to correct me :D
