[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] An UrgeT Dance:
Okay so I can't find a clear guide on how to root the Sprint Gnex on a Mac. I know it is simple but there is no clear guide on how to do so. I have searched on XDA and Googled it, Can someone please tell me how they rotted their's or if you know of an easy way to do so.

Thanks

Urge
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Exact same as windows, except all of the commands are in Terminal instead of Command Prompt, and you put "./" before the commands.

Ex:

./adb devices

Here's the Mac ADB and Fastboot that I've used countless times attached. Unzip to your home folder and put any images or files you're gonna need for flashing in that folder. I'll assume you know how to navigate Terminal well enough to find the folder.

I am trying to root my gs3 will this guide be along the same lines for my device and also how do I go about using the terminal to root it?

Hi the title tells it all I got a g2 but want to be WiFi only like without airplane mode on
[G2 and Desire Z General] xT4Z1N4TRx:
Why not just turn on airplane mode then turn on WiFi?
[G2 and Desire Z General] MonkeySnot:
Why on earth would you want that? And as xT4Z1N4TRx said just put on airplane mode and then switch over to wifi.
[G2 and Desire Z General] killj0y:
he wants a wifi tablet/iTouch lol
[G2 and Desire Z General] buxtahuda:
It's a legitimate request I've seen before. I mean, why let your old devices just waste away when your children or family members could totally use them as dirt cheap replacements for iPods and such. You don't want them making accidental emergency calls or circumventing the settings you put in place.

Should be able to completely remove the radio somehow so that the cellular stuff just won't work.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TimeMonkey:
That's what I need my friend broke his iPod and I told I got this old phone laying around but the u gotta put it into aplane mode each reboot and he ain't tech savvy
[G2 and Desire Z General] Athrun88:
Maybe this is a project for some of the budding devs on xda. In theory, it sounds like a simple change. Simply remove the phone aspects of a rom and repackage. I'm sure it's harder than it sounds in terms of stability and usability though (I'm not a dev) =/
[G2 and Desire Z General] buxtahuda:
Eh, some apps certainly wouldn't work, anything that needs to communicate through telephony and such. But really shouldn't be that difficult.

I'll come back when I'm not too terribly busy with some links about breaking down and customizing ROMs and such. I know that I've found a thread specifically for this kind of thing for another device, but there are a few of them I read up on so it may take a while to locate. Hell, you could just about remove the phone and contacts apps and edit your build.prop and leave an existing ROM intact. I'm no dev or anything though lol so I'll look around.
[G2 and Desire Z General] GinoAMelone:
TeamDRH over in the gTablet forums have added something similar to this into their ICS ROM for gTablet. Might be a useful place to look.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TimeMonkey:
Ok well.I went and remove like all telephony apk in my Rom and some app don't work like he said
[G2 and Desire Z General] buxtahuda:
Not the OG article I had read, but after a bit of Googling I came up with a script that you should be able to set to run at boot which will disable your radio.

You may also be able to dial *#*#INFO#*#* and choose turn off radio, but that will not be persistent across reboots. I would use the script and a third-party launcher that can hide apps so that you'll keep the phone and contacts apps and such for stability, but not have them readily available.

*EDIT:

And a flashable zip! Thank you jellybellys!

**EDIT:

Just to elaborate about that flashable zip, it will actually "permanently" (until you wipe and install another ROM) disable the radio and clean out the apps that you don't want. Also installs some kind of binaries if they're currently absent from the ROM. Great find, I'm glad you asked about this! :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
exactly, my first thought would be just to use titanium backup and disable/freeze but not remove apps such as dialer or what you dont want/need. not sure if this will work but its worth a try. probably a few treads across xda on this (especially on older model phones) id search in those and see if there is a quick answer short of developing a whole new rom
[G2 and Desire Z General] TimeMonkey:
Yeah I use that zip from jellybean but like android.process forced close alone with like sms app this is all on miui
[G2 and Desire Z General] buxtahuda:
So you used the zip, and once booted those processes were force closing?

I'll try it out on my phone, see if I can't replicate the issue and speak with the dev. Exactly what MIUI build are you on?

*EDIT:

Installed on EliteMod 120316 and upon first boot did get something about the mms process FC'ing. Upon subsequent reboots no more message though, have you tried another reboot? You had two processes FC?
[G2 and Desire Z General] TimeMonkey:
I have the miui USA one I think I'm not home well won't be till Sunday night
[G2 and Desire Z General] Android_Monsters:
Some of the experimental roms work like that
[G2 and Desire Z General] xT4Z1N4TRx:
This is a swing in the dark...

Try remove htcril.so or libhtcril.so from system/lib.... That should disable the radio and keep Wi-Fi
[G2 and Desire Z General] buxtahuda:
So that's the MIUI.us "Pure English?" I've just downloaded the last available build and will soon flash and then install jellybellys's zip. I'm hoping that will get me the same FC's as you are.

Once you've gotten home after the weekend, try rebooting it a time or two and see if it consistently gives you the FC's.

Also, just curious, but are you using MIUI just because it's the most similar Android overlay to iOS? To make it a bit easier for your friend? Because you could hook him up with some ICS goodness otherwise ;)

*EDIT:

Ok, looking through his updater-script vs. my /system/app/ directory, it looks like MIUI names a couple of apk's differently. I'm currently installing a fresh MIUI so that I can see the directory before moddified by the OG jellybellys zip, then I'll update his zip to reflect those different names and try to run it again. If successful, I'll post the modified file and hopefully we can get your friend a fun little multi-tasking media player :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] TimeMonkey:
Ok sweet umm can u send me the edit zip
[G2 and Desire Z General] buxtahuda:
Had a good look at the flashable zip, very simple. I need to learn to code, I guess this is a good small place to start lol

All I did was unzip his file, change a few things and added a couple extra lines to remove one more app he hadn't worried with. As said above this will disable your radio, install the radiooptions binary if absent, and remove a number of apk's from the /system/app/ directory.

Removed apps:

TelephonyProvider.apk - cellular service

TelocationProvider.apk - emergency location service (I just don't see the need if you're not connecting to cellular networks)

Phone.apk - your phone app - should also get rid of dialer, I'm trying to find out why it doesn't.

Mms.apk - messaging app

All credit to jellybellys @ rootzwiki.com of course, I couldn't have written this myself or anything.

jellybellys-mod-wifionly-MIUI

Again, the phone app will still be on the homescreen and you actually can't remove it. It won't dial anything, and will just cause the acore process to FC if you try. It's looking like the only way to get it really removed is to modify the ROM's zip so that it never installs the app to begin with.

I'm going to restore the apps again, see if Titanium Backup can't do a better job than outright removing the app does.

Hi guys! First time poster, so I hope this is the right place for this. See, I've been a graphic/web designer for four years now, but I'd really like to branch out into mobile UI design. A lot of web design does take mobile devices into consideration, so I'm familiar with many of the particulars...but there's no substitute for experience.

Therefore, I'd like to volunteer my services to a app development project in return for experience and portfolio material. If anyone is interested, I can link you to my portfolio so you can see examples of my past work.

most android is 5v

That's right, I've been comparing all my friend's phone and most the android devices are having 5v of current charger, but different in amp which is describes the speed of current. I wonder if I could find the app to increase it's amp. Because it really bother me to always using power bank whenever my battery's running low, the original charger is having insufficient power each time I charge the phone while playing game or surfing the web.

I'm using SiyahKernel S3 with STweaks. I've got my voltage set to max on both USB and Mains (Even though I've never used a mains adapter on this phone...)

And I can say it charges pretty quick. I'll send a screenshot in a mo.

Edit:

Here's the screenshot. Sorry for the delay, the XDA app didn't want to upload it, so I had to wait for my PC to reach it's working temperature.. (Sounds weird, don't it?)

Oh. I accidentally wrote "voltage". Meant "Current"
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
I thought siyah increased current, not voltage?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beatsleigher:
I guess it does, but I'd think that it also tweaks the voltage. I'm sure just putting up the amps ain't good for the hardware.. If I'm wrong, please correct me ^^

Lg
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
I think the voltage stays the same, but the current restrictions are adjusted, basically it overrides the charging current limiter
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beatsleigher:
Hmm. I'm not sure. Like I said, it seems like if you only increase the amps without changing the voltage, you'll:

A: - Bugger up the phone's hardware

or

B: - Bugger up the power supply..

I'll have to take a closer look, at some point in time.. (Yay! Playing hide and seek with Linux system files! Awesome!)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DjeMBeY:
Since when "mA" is voltage value? Maybe "V" from Volt? ;) Look at screenshot and think again, it's basics. :D

Increasing Voltage will burn your device, no doubt about. Current is calculated to power consumption based on Voltage. (Basics of Electrics & Electronics)

[/COLOR]

You're right. It's exactly how it works ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beatsleigher:

I haven't miss-read anything, you've NO clue about electricity. I'm not going to waist my time and explain what is what and how it works.

Look at your screenshot, there's No Voltage setting ffs, it's Current in "mA"!!! But never mind......

Good luck.

Dude, I understood what you said, but you didn't understand what I wrote and you edited your post, so stop being childish.

I'm the

last

person you'd need to try and "explain something" about electronics, current, voltages and amps. Especially as I modify and tweak hardware and circuitry...

All I was saying, is that I can't imagine that it'd

only

set the amps, because the hardware (Not necessarily the device's hardware, but that of the computer/Xbox/Mains socket) would go putt. You'd have to set up the voltage by a few mV, and that wouldn't harm the hardware in any way, especially as we do the same to our processors in PCs, tablets, phones and any else which is overclockable so the the hardware can actually perform the performance desired by the overclocker (The human being).

I hope you now understood and learned something.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muntinlupa:
Hi everyone.

I am new to this forum. Thank you in advance for being patient with me.

I bought my galaxy note in the Middle East specifically Dubai. I am now in the Philippines. My note is still not rooted.

If I update my note here in the Philippines using Kies will it be updated to the ASIAN firmware instead of the Middle Eastern/Arabic firmware? I am reluctant to do any updating because I don't know what I might lose.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Braxos:
no kies checks the Pcode of the phone and it updates/checks for it. on dial pad put *2767*4387264636# then you will see something like this N7000ZBADBT the 3 last letters are for the region and the carrier who was sold the NOTE. in this DBT means it is a German career free device. ZBA means a 16gb blue note and ZBE is the white note or the 32gb blue note don't remember which was it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muntinlupa:
So can I update using kies in the Philippines even if my fw is Middle Eastern/Arabic or should I install/flash a ASIAN fw first before updating thru kies in the Philipines?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Braxos:
If you want the Arabic fw then just connect and update. If you want a Philippinen fw then you have to flash it with a original Samsung Philippinen fw and then connect to kies to update, if you haven't flashed the latest one for this region.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bradleyG:
I just got my One X and everything seems fine so far, though I'll need to go to AT&T tomorrow to setup a new sim, because as far as I know, My old SIM won't work with the LTE right? I have the one from my old captivate that I cut into a micro sim for an iPhone 4 and I put that in the One X and the APN settings are wrong because they're the settings from the iPhone 4 I'm assuming. If anyone can help me out with the APN that would be great.

Another question I have is regarding the capacitive buttons. Do they only come on in the dark or all the time? I noticed that they weren't on but I turned off my lights and they came on.

Thanks in advance :D

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bradleyG:
I would exchange it because of your home button issue. But nice to know that yours are light sensitive
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 05GT:
Mine respond to light as well.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] stnguyen09:
If you put your finger over the light sensor (like a quater inch to the left of the AT&T logo) you can see that the capacitive buttons come on. Though I'm looking at mine right now and it seems like they don't go off automatically once I take my finger away.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] King Shady:

Thats right, I hate those slim devices like the Galaxy S, but a bit less weight than 180g would be fine for a posible G3 :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] MonkeySnot:
I wouldn't mind if the G3 is a bit more slim then the G2 is, as long as its not as light as a feather. A bit more weight in your hand makes you feel like you've got a good quallity piece of hardware. I like the current screen size although if they would make the screen bigger my limit would be 4,5 inch, all those big screens are just a hype/trend. Plus those lower sized screens use less power as well. One big thing I would really like in the G3 is a battery wich could hang on for 2-3 days atleast, and a microSD slot.
