[Kindle Fire General] jdock:
Is there a known-safe directory that doesn't get clobbered in an OTA update, other than /mnt/sdcard? Maybe /data or something under it?

The reason I ask is that I had a brainstorm. If I just keep a copy of /system/xbin/su (and make sure it's still setuid root), after an update I can always start a shell and run my alternate su to become root, right? Then I could put su back into /system/xbin. Anything else I'd need to do to be actually rooted at that point? Does "rooted" just mean a working su is present, or something in addition (to allow adb root, for example)?

/mnt/sdcard is not suitable because it's vfat and doesn't store the setuid permissions. But /data seems to have stuff that's intended to stay there perpetually. And since it's just a subdir of the root filesystem, I can do the setuid.

$ su

# mkdir /data/mine

# cat /system/xbin/su > /data/mine/salami

# chmod 6755 /data/mine/salami

# exit

$ /data/mine/salami

How can I increase my x10 ram or rom to increase performance of my device to having no lags?

What can I do with running apps that I don't use which run ever and ever in background..
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NuriJ:
Use Ram Manager from market :D
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TigerStyleZ:
Flash roms that use little ram. Or delete some background programs/apps/systemtools you don´t need via root uninstaller. But remember the X10 only has 256 MB ram and you won´t get the whole 256 to use, because android needs some and this is unavoidable. Furthermore you can use Adrenaline Boost - but be careful ! Just search Adrenaline boost in forum or in google :)

If i helped, don´t be shy and hit the thanks button
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1eyedmonster:
Download advanced task manager then in settings set auto kill level to aggressive and auto kill frequency to when screen turns off works a dream

also to save memory you can actually move apps that cannot be moved to SD with app2sd by selecting move 2 SD on titanium backup pro by long pressing on the app u wish to move
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TigerStyleZ:
But if u use App2SD, make sure your SDCard - Class is fast or may some tools wouldn´t work proper. Furtermore I don´t suggest Taskkiller for newbs, or useres which don´t know what it does. If you know the Android System, you will get to know that it manages programs automatically- it freezes and closes them if memory is needed. Task killers can damage your device and further drain your battery! If it always kills apps it can crash system tools! So think twice before installing a task killer

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tpma4life:
I downloaded the nightly from http://get.cm/?device=i777 , flashed through CWM(after clearing/factory wiping, all that good stuff). Phone calls and the such work, data does not. It wont connect to data, I DID use the search feature before anybody says anything. Did I miss something to get data to work? I even tried entering airplaine mode and leaving it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tpma4life:
Figured it out, you can lock this or whatever. IF anybody else has the same issue, for some reason the hspa option was turned off by default under device>advanced. Turned that on, had to reboot my phone. Voila.
[HTC One X] blubbers:
http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/

Select the Option "All other Supported Models" and follow the instructions.

After this process, your device show "*** UNLOCKED ***" and "SHIP S-ON"
[HTC One X] j4n87:
...better wait for a time like revolutionary for a real S-OFF method.

Wonder how people can to this htc unclock without worries about their warranty.
[HTC One X] Evil-Dragon:
I will wait for Revolutionary personally. More flexibility to flash radios, hboots, etc.

EDIT: And kernels (boot.img)
[HTC One X] crazy cat:
Confirmed. Unlock works.

SHIP S-OFF RL
[HTC One X] thedoginthewok:
I understand that unlocking your device via htcdev.com will irreversibly void your warranty, but is that also the case, if I unlock my device with the stuff from the revolutionary team ?

I never had a device, which could be unlocked that way. My first two android phones were Motorolas and they could always be converted back to stock, for sending them in for repairing or for selling them.
[HTC One X] hopscotchjunkie:
You probably can still revert completely back to stock, the point is that if you use htcdev.com they've got a record of the phone being unlocked (even if you return it to stock again), whereas if you do it yourself then revert it they wouldn't know it had been unlocked in the first place.
[HTC One X] thedoginthewok:
That sounds great, thank you. :)
[HTC One X] nimoi62:
Thank you !

Like the other I prefer another method...
[HTC One X] miniterror:
i will also wait for revolutionary^^

luckily there is temp root so i can delete the crap i dont use

cant wait for it to come so i can flash the first coredroid beta on it^^
[HTC One X] Moleculinary:
Temp Root isnt working...
[HTC One X] moom999:
If we use the htcdev.com or revolutionary HTC will find out that the phone was unlocked!
[HTC One X] slapshot30:
No. Revolutionary is reversible. But htcdev does keep a record forever. However, that doesn't screw you out of every single warranty like many think. Only a small number of software issues, otherwise you still have warranty. We will see how long many of you will wait for revolutionary before you cave in and unlock through htcdev lol. All of us vivid users never got anything other than htcdev unlock. All the devs working on s off told us that HTC made it a hell of a lot harder to crack the newer phones.
[HTC One X] ptr_hamilton:
About htcdev unlock. They log your imei and serial number, yes. BUT the only thing you'll get after that is the posibility to unlock your device. Once we get Revolutionary s-off and then the ability to s-on again, how will they know if you really used the possibility to unlock your device? There's a final warning so no evidence you finally used it

Hopefully revolutionary team may be able to use the htc unlock method :D
[HTC One X] moom999:
Any way I just unlock it now using htcdev

Because I want it to try the temp-root to see if it will work with unlocked but did not work.

As I understood with unlocking using htcdev I still have the warranty for the hardware or I just lost all the warranty?
[HTC One X] robt772000:
So just confirming that the htcdev unlock does not let the temp root work?
[HTC One X] ghostt021:
Being on the rezound I agree. And also the fact that before my rezound I sent back a dinc2 completed rooted because of hardware problems and had no issues.
[HTC One X] ptr_hamilton:
Yes, confirmed :(
[HTC One X] foxone:
That's right, you still got most of your warranty intact..

So; in some cases, not all, where the damage is caused by unlocking warranty will not be valid.
[HTC One X] miniterror:
if the temp root doesnt work after the htcdev unlock why would you then wanna use it and tell them what you did^^
[HTC One X] blubbers:
I've got permaroot working with an unlock by htcdev. Wai for mike to update his thread
[HTC One X] ptr_hamilton:
WHAAAT :eek: ?? Is your device unlocked or do you have root? If so, would you mind sharing it? I tried the one from modaco but it didnt work yet..
[HTC One X] witek_77:
Please make the tut how to root. We need S-OFF ?
[HTC One X] Alex240188:
no you dont need S-OFF

they are using htc-dev to unlock the bootloader (not S-OFF), this will allow the basics like flashing new recoveries (when one is made) and flashing various images, (the important ones to us, boot, system, userdata etc. as they dont have a working boot.img to which to gain root i believe they are attempting to pack the necessary files directly into a system.img allowing you to flash through fastboot and achieve root that way
[HTC One X] blubbers:
I've repacked arhd into ext4 images and "fixed" su, these images can be flashed with fastboot, you need to unlock your hboot at htcdev. Mike will update his arhd thread, but it will be for advanced users as there is no recovery yet
[HTC One X] ptr_hamilton:
Is it a su package only or complete arhd package? I ask because I use the one s and would love t get it rooted to help madmaxx to develop 4ext touch recovery for the one series..
[HTC One X] blubbers:
Its complete, but you could repack the stock system.img of one-s with evil-su, but that requires some work
[HTC One X] blubbers:
Btw, i could provide ssh/adb access to my rooted one-x for mad
[HTC One X] ptr_hamilton:
I told him, maybe he'll contact you..
[HTC One X] moom999:
What do you mean? do we have to flash the rom to have root?

I want the root. I don’t want to flash anther rom on my onex
[HTC One X] blubbers:
You can't get a rom rooted without an exploit unless you flash the su binary trought fastfoot or a recovery. So, wait for a recovery or an exploit if you don't want to flash a rom
[HTC One X] witek_77:
So if I want ROOT: S-ON, but unlock hboot. For now unlock only with htc-dev and lose waranty ?
[HTC One X] ptr_hamilton:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] randaddy:
Hey guys I'm thinking about picking up a used TF prime and dock locally via Craigslist. With all the problems/revisions people keep throwing around on this forum...I'm a little hesitant about buying a 2nd hand unit.

However, I'm assuming all the Prime's out there are still under the factory (1 year?) warranty so I should be able to RMA it should problems arrive, but I'd like to avoid this all together.

So, with the collective knowledge being so abundant around here - please throw out some things I should be on the lookout for when I meet the seller in person!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jaycustom:
I would obviously look for cosmetic defects, then turn it on and run through it. If he says he forgot to change it and can't turn it on for you, forget about it. Worst case scenario is the software is flakey, but that can be fixed by flashing one of the awesome custom ROMs here

PRO TIP: Ask for the Primes receipt, and if it's under 90 days old, you can purchase a Square Trade insurance policy for it. If you've never heard of ST, look into it. That way you're covered for 2 years, no matter what. Good luck and keep us posted on what happens;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] androholic:
Unless your getting it for $400, I personally wouldn't buy it unless its

1) Excellent physical condition

2) Has a receipt

3) Has all original packaging

I only say this because of the primes bugs. I had returned mine twice before getting a fully functional model with a single dead pixel. I would say run the browser through some heavy paces and see if it crashes. Also run a high graphic, power intensive game w/ some background programs running to see if it freezes or reboots. Check the edges of the screendurring the bootup to see if there's any major light bleed. Lastly, download the dead pixel test & GPS test to be sure both are okay.

You can probably use a couple of common dead pixels and non functioning GPS to haggle the seller down a little.Yes they are common issues, but explain that if you purchased it from a retailer you could return it, but you can't return this model.

All in all, without original packaging & a receipt, the extra cash is well spent for the security of warranty and return policy. As stated in another comment, w/ receipt and less than 90 days old, square trade is like $100 for two years, and then a $99 deductible, but it even covers lost or stolen.

Good luck, and be cautious!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] randaddy:
Thanks for the feedback guys!

I Thought it over some more and I might as well pony up the difference for a new one. Now, does anyone have experience with Gamestop? Specifically exchanges due to defect etc. They're the only retailer in my area with inventory.

I'm planning to sell my prime, when the infinity comes lol. But then again my father might want it, so might give him the prime and take back the galaxy tab i gave him a while ago and sell that. I always keep all the packaging and original receipt. But to be honest with all the problems the prime is having saving a 100$ isn't really ideal, unless you find a really good unit.

[Motorola Droid 4] punkonjunk:
Just a word of warning. I was seeing my battery at 120F whenever I was multitasking, like uploading stuff to dropbox & streaming music, which shouldn't be that intensive, it was making me crazy. Finally popped off the case, no more heat, I never see it over 100F anymore.

I do not know the model or anything, the turd at verizon unboxed it and discarded the box. It's the silicone one with some sort of reinforcement built into it. It cost like 20 dollars, and they won't take it back now without the box. Jerks.

So... just worth mentioning. Wouldn't have them throw in the case, if I were you. I'm off to search for a very thin silicone one, or something like that.

EDIT:

This case:

http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/U...n-for-DROID4-by-MOTOROLA-from-PURE-GEAR-US-EN

I would avoid that. At least it gave me issues.
[Motorola Droid 4] deturbanator:
Was your phone plugged into your charger while doing these tasks?

I have found that when my phone is fully charged, and I am doing a lot of tasks on the phone while it is plugged in, my phone gets really hot. I think it has to do with the charger doing small charge pulses to keep the battery at maximum capacity. I have the otterbox case which sounds very familiar to yours (inner silicon mold with an outer plastic shell), and when I am using the phone hard, I do not get these problems when disconnected from the power outlet.

I could imagine as a little dyi fix, you could cut slits into the silicon so that you still get most of the reinforcement and protection, but now it has a little bit of breathing room. (like a heatsink, but inefficient).

If you are just going to throw the case away, this is an interesting option.
[Motorola Droid 4] djhcmd:
Did you ever find something thin and silicone? I have the pure gear, my phone gets hot and its way too sticky in my pocket.
[Motorola Droid 4] Goodeman:
I think it'd be really interesting to see if the slits would work.. Is anyone willing to try it and post their results? I have the case too.
[Motorola Droid 4] maddeath:
I have a hard plastic case that i got off Verizon and it also get's super hot on and off the charger, but the official verizon kickstand case http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=accessoryDetails&accessoryId=50277 doesn't really heat up. The verizon case is way thinner and covers less of the phone, so maybe some holes will help.

[Motorola Droid 4] shadownekos:
I have the verizon kickstand case and my phone only hits around 117ish. I dont like going over 120 so i have warnings to let me know when it hits 117. I think the vzw kickstand case helps the temp when the kickstand is being used since it opens 3 large holes in the back.

Hope this helps
[Motorola Droid 4] ghost0001:
I too have the kickstand case. I use my droid for everything, from driving directions in my car using the car mount while listening to slacker radio, to checking emails and facebook while away from my PC. My temperature has hit 130 degrees F. I use a temp monitor to keep an eye on my internal and battery temp. I also point my A/C vent in my car towards my phone to keep it cool during the summer months. Lastly, when using it away from car, as in to tether, i remove my case and slide the keyboard up to keep the most surface area exposed to keep the phone as cool as possible. I use FoxFi to tether my Xbox, PS3, PC, and Asus Transformer 101 all at once.

[HTC Sensation] Ironzey:
So, the Sensation has been out for a while and for me it has not lived up to my expectations. ICS is right around the corner for me but I'm sure it will make things somewhat more bearable until I do upgrade.

What is everyone planning on replacing their Sensation with?

Yesterday, I got to mess around with the Galaxy Note. All I have to say about that phone is that it is obscenely big. I love it. It's the only phone out now that is something truly different. Too bad it's AT&T.

The only other thing that is currently for sale is the Galaxy Nexus. Other than the fact that it's running ICS there isn't much to get excited about. I think I'm going to just keep my Sensation till the New Nexus phone is released and get on that one early.

I'm not a fan of Samsung's phones or touchwiz but I feel like HTC is just making phones while Samsung is experimenting with new forms and new ideas. If Cyanogemod 9 was out and if it were available on Tmo I'd be all over the Note.

What are you hoping to replace your Sensation with?
