This posts explains how Google detects root. Basically, Google flags a device with the unsupported banner (Google Wallet) even on Custom ROMs.

https://plus.google.com/114121973767140108311/posts/NDwdf3gxnBb

In a nutshell:

We've taken the liberty of posting the RootedPhoneDetectorImpl class on +pastebin. Here is the interesting thing: it has three different ways of checking if you device is rooted in a certain order! The order goes:

- Check if your system is signed with test keys (i.e. a non-stock custom ROM).

- Check if the Superuser app is installed in /system/app/Superuser.apk.

- Check if the su binary exists and can be executed (this will prompt the user to grant this app root access).

Can't you just go into the settings of the Touchdown app and copy the info you need like mail server and domain. Then just set up the email yourself through the email app on the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ceribaen:
You mean you've unlocked your bootloader?

Rooted means you've got su installed/active on your device - have permissions to change/see system folders for example. Or change app permissions by type.

Hello,

Sorry if this is not correct place for this question but I can't seem to fin it in the forums and this is about the only place the site will allow me to post as a new member. I have the original Samsung Galaxy Tab from Tmobile which is the SGH- T849 model and Tmobile simply does not release any software updates or firmware but i have seen many who have now figured out ICS on this first gen. in the forums I see all the other gsm variants get stuff but it is as if no one knows there is a Tmobile version. Can anyone direct me to how or where to get info on getting ics setup on mine? I am rooted but not unlocked, I would like to unlock if anyone has a link to how to do that also.Thanks in advance just bored of froyo on my Tab and on my Boost Evo4 G

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fletchguy75:
Ok

Sorry about posting in wrong area...I read the Q&A but just read it again. I don't think I broke any rules as I can see. I did search forums using the site search box and nothing comes up on my topic which is why I asked. Did I do something else I was allowed to do or you just want to make sure I read the forum rules? Sorry if I did I just don't see anything I did not allowed so If I did just let me know thanks.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] qazzi76:
Try copying the memo apk to system/apps folder and rebooting phone.

Please understand that it may rely on additional framework that might not be available to the Galaxy note rom you are installing it on.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] gurnishdhillon:
my two cents of advice,,,, know u can use the Smemo app as a Memo app as well ,,thr is a toggle 2 button thingi on the smemo app which allows it to behave like a Spen based memo app or a simple memo app ...

Dont get why sony didnt just include a couple with all Xperia S's so we could at least try it out.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dragon546:
I filled in a form on that site. It did not stress it was for O2 only
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MedicalFlyer:
It's in the t&c's and limited time offer as well :-(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jaseukuk:
Unfortunately once they check your details they'll send a email back stating o2 customers only
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] seanicca:
Mine said imei was invalid and to double check. I sent a screenshot of it but not heard back yet. I also emailed customer support asking if the offer will be extended to other networks but not heard off them yet either.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] electric0ant:
i bought mine from o2 online and they are saying my imei is not valid. :mad:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] maistora:
A bit like Tesco's iPads

This whole story smells a little like the recent scandal with the Tesco offer to sell the new iPad 3 for £49.99

For those who don't know it, due to a 'computer'(?) error, Tesco advertised the wrong price (a 90% discount), a lot of people ordered - and were told that Tesco will not supply at this price. It is still hotly debated in the (social and mainstream) media.

In this case there isn't a price error - just a poorly designed promotion site where the O2 condition is buried in a separate PDF 'Terms and conditions' document (which, naturally, nobody reads) and is not mentioned anywhere on the actual promotion page. Many people - yours truly included - naively filled the form, only to be told they are not eligible.

Despite the 'Sony' domain, this is not Sony - they have their epic gaffes but cannot be so unprofessional. The UK promotion is outsourced (possibly by O2) to an outfit called 'Mad About Handling Ltd' run by a couple, Annabel and Angus Gilmour. Their 'professionalism' shines in that form and website - and in the subsequent handling of complaints.

Some victims may wish to run a retaliation campaign on Twitter and Facebook - like the Tesco crowd, who are currently causing serious reputation damage to the retailer. I wouldn't bother, though -

Just ignore!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mndl632:
This isnt anything to try and catch people out, on the launch of the Xperia S, stock in O2 stores was supposed to come with 4 SmartTags in the box but Sony weren't able to do so in time for the launch offer, so customers were told to go to that site to redeem the offer. All stock in O2 stores now should come with 4 SmartTags in the box.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mgolder:
Tesco are suffering serious damage to their reputation over it? I really doubt anybody truly cares as long as they can get everything they want under one roof still.

As for the smart tag promotion, the address for the site was given to customers instore at o2, so there is no logical reason why anyone from another UK network would get the address and try to apply unless your network provided you with the promotional leaflet. So nobody was hiding the o2 clause in the t&c's, it is there, because the offer is only open to o2.

The two stories couldn't really be further apart.

I should point out that I do agree that it is stupid that it is just open to o2 customers. Why have the feature if you won't let everyone use it?!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marco_bruzzone:
Many thanks for such detailed tutorial, but I am having problems.

First of all when I click on the RUU link I am presented with a download that doesn't work and just cycles through a bunch of adverts. Fair enough, I managed to get to the real link anyway, but the file is not an RUU.EXE but it is HTC_Desire_Android_2.3_Upgrade.zip. Using this file I cannot find which rom version it is and cannot therefore patch it with the correct version in step 17, but I never got to that point.

I created apparently successfully a goldcard and used it for the rest of the procedure, hope this is ok. Steps 7 to 10 seemed to be successful also although the output was not quite like on your tutorial. I got

$ chmod 755 /data/local/zergRush

The trouble started with step 11. The phone did not restart as root by itself. So I switched it off and pressed volume down and power to force it into root. Then I typed the command. This didn't work as cat is not a DOS command nor was it in the unzipped directory.

What is this cat command? How am I supposed to use it? I AM STUCK, HELP PLEASE.

Basically is it safe to go ahead and use the tools listed in the Revolution HD dev thread to root and then install?

Very Very frustrating bug, and terrible Sony assistance.

[Xperia Arc General] Boudin:
As it's regular and seems to be linked to the fact that data is enabled, I'll say that a service is working with GPS only when data is activated.

I didn't use GPS long enough with my arc S, i'll try.

What rom are you using ? I'll say that this problem may be cause by a software interfering with GPS every 5 minutes (and surely sending data as it seems to be data dependant).

It could be interesting to watch logs with logcat and look what is runing on the phone when the problem occurs.
[Xperia Arc General] iridaki:
Have you even searched the forums for a solution? :rolleyes:

[Xperia Arc General] maRRRco89:
It is surelely data dependant, but is not a software to interfer with Gps

is a bug feature of the stock xperia firmware to ask data every 5 minutes even if data is disabled from the android menu.

It should ask data to assist Gps, only if data is enabled, and not if is disabled !!!!

That's point.

If is disabled, the bug ask for data and this result i a drop.
