[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pipperox:
Why do you want to force him to root?

It's his phone, he's happy and that is his choice.

I rooted the sh*t out of my SGS 1 because the stock firmware had a lot of issues, and only after 2 years of community development I'd say that the various homebrew ROMs and kernels reached a level of maturity, performance and stability which allowed an overall smooth experience.

With the SGS 3 at the moment i'm super happy with stock firmware, for now i'll keep on monitoring the community developments and i'll root it when i'll feel it's the right time.

ROOT = NO until root is required its not a go faster must have toy .

If he wants to carry out certain operations that require root then yes but its the height on noobness to root for no reason .Root voids warranty .

I totally agree, too much **** could go horribly wrong if someone who is clueless about Android has root.

If he wants to learn himself all well and good but in this situation he is better off without it.

Respect Your Friends

If it really is your best friend, then be a good friend and see the situation from his perspective, not just your own. As he sees it, rooting is an unnecessary complication that may bring risk, and from his point of view, he is right.

I rooted my new tablet only after I realized I needed to because there were things I wanted to do that required rooting. Along with that, I set myself up to restore the tablet to its original condition if anything went wrong. I am an experienced Unix/Linux system administrator, and the decision to root the device was not one I made quickly, without learning as much as I could about rooting, and thinking it through. I would never try to talk anyone else into doing it, and it would bother me if a good friend rooted their device just to copy me, or because it was "a cool thing to do."

Instead of trying to manipulate your friend into doing something to make you happy, make sure you are doing it to benefit him, and not cause problems in his life. If you consider all of the possible consequences, that may be harder than you think. ;-)

Having said all that, if you still want to continue with your idea, here is a plan: Make a list of all the additional things you can do with a rooted device, and think about the added value. It's not hard to get a list of apps that require a rooted device, and there are even websites with articles like, "Top 15 Apps That Require Rooting." Then show your friend how the apps are run, and show how easy it is, and that it is 99% safe. Also, if he ends up in the 1%, make sure he can recover his device and explain that to him.

If he still doesn't want to do it, leave him alone. Repeat the following until you can say it easily: "OK, I respect your decision." :)

And if you can say that and mean it, you will have maximized the chance that sometime in the future, he will decide to root, after making the decision on his own, not because someone pushed him into it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MXR2:
some people is scared of this rooting thing coz, they r afraid to void their warranty. We all know it's not true but people will always be like that.

1. Take the trouble to educate him on the real risk of root, which is pretty much none.

2. Make sure he has a desire to control and make his device the way the wants it to be.

If #2 is not valid. You can leave him alone, and from time to time, show him how awesome root can be. He will have to convince himself to do it. Don't put it upon yourself to force him to it. Root & modification generated experiences varies from people to people.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
Honestly if I was forced to I could do without almost everything that needs Root, but if I saw a phone that couldn't use Titanium Backup I just don't think I'd buy it because picking that App is a no Brainer, and I've known a load of people who have lost a f**k load of data because they had no backups so I offer to temporarily Root then Unroot to make them the occasional backup.

I am sorry if this is in the wrong place, but i could not find a pro specific forum.

Anyway i have a potentially huge problem. I tried to install CyonagenMod 9 on my phone but now it just shows a black screen.

I had previously applied the official SE ICS update(build 4.1.b.0.431, i think), but it was really draining my battery and decided to try CyonagenMod.

Everything was going smoothly i unlocked the bootloader, then i flashed the boot.img and restarted the phone but nothing happened.

Is it because these instructions were meant for 2.3.x? Or something else?

And is my phone permanently damaged because of this?:(

Thanks for the help.

Worked, a little slow to show at first boot but works now. I can't help but not make a request though, can you upload a version without the center clock and change the date color to the original white/gray looking? It's a little hard to see the date at first glance especially with low brightness. Plus I personally have a lot of ongoing notifications and of course they overlap and ruin the look of the center clock. I would love a version where the clock could just be to the right like normally but still blue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Justananomaly:
Works good but can you make the date white and the notification area black and the slide down bar thingy at the bottom darker gray?

I'm being picky, maybe I should just be thankful. :eek:

I ran androbench and this tablets i/o benchmarks are terrible!

How is there such a huge gap between the tf300 and the other devices used as references in this benchmark.

I am oc'd to 1.5 and have the sio scheduler enabled using atp tools.

Is this a hardware or software issue? Or am i misunderstanding these benchmarks and making something out of nothing?

Is there any thing that can be done to improve this?

Just figured id post my screenshots and hear some other opinions
[Transformer TF300T General] mikaole:
can confirm this. Stock I/O is bad. In Quadrant about 300points behind custom Roms.
[Transformer TF300T General] UndisputedGuy:
Well, are you guys happy with the performance of the TF300?
[Transformer TF300T General] pitrus-:
This is exactly what I was suspected, really hope its not caused by cheaper/slower integrated SD storage chip :-/

There is a real impact on performance when accessing internal storage, my TF300 goes to a complete halt if I download using Torrent to internal storage. However when I direct downloads to my external class 10 32gb SD-card I can still somewhat use my pad for surfing.

Its a nice tablet, and for the most part yes but, a new $400 device should not be dead last in preformance on any test. And its not just a little behind, its so far behind on some of the tests it almost dosent show up on the bar chart. I would just like to know why this one aspect of the tablet is so much worse than other devices when all the others are on par or better then the competition.

if you use rom toolbox you can actually boost the I/O i believe up to 4096 kb which should improve it.

Would running a custom ROM either help or fix this issue?

Well its either hardware or software. If its a hardware limitation then no, there is nothing that will drastically improve it. If its. Software then drivers or a kernel update could. At least thats how im seeing it.
[Transformer TF300T General] jgaf:
AFAIK the Prime also suffers from the same crappy I/O performance. Also, I have read that the performance can be boosted up with custom kernels, so far there aren't any kernel devs working on the TF300T.

Using ATP_Tweaks changing the scheduler from noop to SIO has almost doubled my results in Reading and Writing Speeds, still the numbers suck (it went from 300-400 to 500-600).

That being said, it seems like there hasn't been a lot done on the Desire. I've already bootloader unlocked and rooted mine, and I'm in the process of downloading Nameless Rom 2.2 and I'm going to install that when it's done...

I just want to ask one simple question without sounding totally dumb: Will installing a new ROM change the CID? I've been looking into SuperCID but I'm not sure if it supports this phone or not. I'm not JUST trying to network unlock the phone, I'm trying to learn more about Android and mods in general. MY experience ends about a year ago, when I started dating a girl and my computer time slowly diminished... so my knowledge has gotten rusty. I was surprised to see Android 4 ... last time I ROM'd a phone it was to upgrade my friend's phone from 2.1 to 2.2 if I remember correctly.
