I can't root my phone! Pls help!!

This is a really wonderful thread. I have a problem of which i'll appreciate all the help i can get from the guru's. I'm a noob.

I have a Tecno D3 and i've not been able to root it and enjoy all the root privileges. I've tried most , if not all the software's which have successfully rooted other droids but can't get mine rooted. The specs are:

ANDROID VERSION: 2.3.6

BASEBAND VERSION: MAUI. 11AMD.W11.50.SP.V27.P3,2012/11/27

KERNEL VERSION: 2.6.35.7 rlk-buildsrv@rlk-buildsrv-desktop #1

BUILD NUMBER: D3_G120L_CHUANYIN_B1_ALPSGB2MPV2.17_V5.1_S20121214

CUSTOM BUILD VERSION: 1355486163

I just hope the phone is not unrootable:(

Pls help me.

Edit: following post solved on different thread... Read anyway if you're bored ;)

Hey, I've been reading up on how to theme apps, as I use a few specific apps that I'd like to adjust some colors on. I've managed to learn a small amount and am now working with the png's and xml's in the decompiled (apktool) apk.

I've tried finding my answer via Google and some of the guides in the OP but so far I'm stumped. The app I'm working on is OpenSearch. It's a simple Google search bar app that works like a pop up widget to do a quick Google or other search provider query. It's a bit dated now but it's simple and I thought it would make for a good first theming project.

I have managed to change the grey search panel to a black tone (png) but now I want to make the white text a holo color and the search field black. I'm sure this is in one of the xml files but so far I can't seem to find the correct color codes. Looking for black and white is obviously not as easy to narrow down.

So to my question, is their a trick to identifying the objects I want to theme or is it what I'm already doing, which feels like near-mindless trial and error? I have attached a screenshot of the target area. If anyone has any suggestions for this particular app please let me know. Thanks.

Theme Chooser question

I have a potentially dumb question, but I have a Samsung GS3 running a rom called Delta w/Galaxy KOR kernal. I cannot use the Theme Chooser app within Google Play (I'd link, but I'm new to XDA and I can't post outside links yet) with this or any other Rom that isn't CM10 or AOKP. Is there a way to flash the T-Mobile theme chooser into this or any other Rom, or is this completely specific to Cyanogen Mod? Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 3rdstring:
Many ROMs include theme chooser but it's not that easy to add it to one that doesn't include it. There are changes in the framework so any flashable mod that would add it would be device / ROM specific.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Bwarner479:
Can you boot in the bootloader or recovery? If so you could adb push a rom. Also I'm not familiar with the phone but if it has external storage like a micro sd card or usb otg you could put a rom on that and flash. Also is the rom still on the phone that was running? If so just flash that. Don't worry though... The phones not bricked as long as you can boot into recovery or the bootloader.

Edit: just read that the phone supports sd cards. Use a computer to put stock or any rom on the card then put it in the phone and flash the rom.

Driver to turn the screen off and still port HDMI out through MHL without Root access

Hi,

I am completely new to Android development. Trying to explore a bit..

Is it possible that a software driver can tell the phone to power off the screen and the touch layer, and still give HDMI out through MHL (when connected to a custom dock .. kind of a device), without root access?

Hope I made my question clear. :silly:

Hi, guys i have question. Maybe you know how I can delete this green line under power widgets, and How I can delete text from clean button. ( I use AOSP GB)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] billbowers:
I'm not real familiar with aosp, but I imagine inside the systemui.apk you will find a folder called values. And inside that folder will be an XML file called strings. And, inside that XML you will most likely find the text for the button. Just remove the text and it will be gone from the button. As for the green bar, that I'm not too sure about. But you should be able to find a color for it. And by making that color black and or transparent ( #00000000) you should be able to at least hide it.

There is a flashable kernel which I'm using on one ROM, and I would like to integrate that kernel into that ROM.zip file.

How can I do that ? I don't know where I should put some files.

I know where most of the files go, one folder inside kernel.zip is system/lib/modules.And files from there goes to that exact location.

But the second folder is named 'kernel', containing dump_image, mkboot.img, mkbootimg.sh, unpackbootimg and zImage files.And I don't know where those files should go ?

Thanks in advance.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SXUsr:
Look through your framework-res.apk drawable folders and it will be glaringly obvious due to the orange colour which makes it easy to identify, although you'll find there are a few images that are exactly the same but have different file names, so it's easier for you just to look through your framework folders than it is for me to list them all. And that's a good tip, extract and explore every apk you're going to edit, then you can compare them with images on your Phone, that way you quickly learn which images are for what. :)
