if u use triangle away and restore your stock rom,.. your warranty is intact,...

damaging your phone depends on how you follow the given tutorials,...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patriotaki:
also if I root and restoring to the factory settings warranty would be again available?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Yes .

Its pointless not rooting and joining XDA much like a eunuch in a harem .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
OP

Google rooting and weigh the benefits. Decide for yourself if its something you want to do. Lots of average users will never need root. If you find yourself NOT being able to do tasks you want, then root.. if you don't have a need to or are questioning if you should, then don't.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patriotaki:
yes I just want to remove ads from apps record the screen..install superscript v6 and autokiller and a bit play with customization im just a kid and new on android I dont know how to root
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Well then you ARE looking to root. Head over to the stickies in General or Q&A. There's a whole bunch of helpful info for guys new to android. Rooting be easy as pie. Check out the Dev section for root and recovery also. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Davidoffxda:
You can always ask help to somebody, and you can follow all the detailed instructions and videos tutorial at galaxys3root.com (i think it's the best), they have also links to this forum for better instructions.

I made it few days ago, rooting and unrooting it's very easy, always make backup of the original ROM installed.

Pay attention also at what country phone you will be rooting.

thanks guys! where can I find all those tutorials to backup original Rom and root without voiding the warranty if its possible so I dont screw it up wooth fake or wrongs tuts
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Itadakiimasu:
I'm more of a little girl that doesn't want to void my warranty and afraid of bricking since I'm a klutz at modifying. Unless you want to potentially unlock your phone's capabilities then feel free to do so however if you aren't a North American user than your phone would most likely be void of warranty because I've read an article here somewhere made by xda that rooting doesn't void your warranty (North American users only) and I'm a south east asian user lol. For experts they feel free to do so since it's their expertise but average people like me money is hard to come by and I don't want to risk bricking it lol.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
You can't really brick it rooting. Its flashing firmwares and ROMs/Kernels that can potentially brick you.. but nowadays it doesn't happen all too often. And there are methods to safeguard this. JTAG is available too for the S3.

But patriotaki .. you can find info in the Q&A and general sub forums, and for all the tools in the dev section come with instructions. Here's chainfires root method. Just follow the steps and you'll be fine! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1695238 :)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1Android:
I'm rooted ut here is my take on it.

The only 2 reasons I rooted was because I wanted control over my CPU settings/create screen off profiles and to change the android green off my notification bar.

Other than that, the phone was sweet **** sweet before rooting. you can already uninstall/freeze apps without being rooted and the battery life was VERY good before as well. I have flashed 4 Roms and non of them perfromed as well as the stock kernel IMO. I flashed back to BEAN R2 because it has the stock kernel and gave me the best battery life. no theme, running my setcpu, nova, all notifcations and toggles turned off that dont need to be on and I get about 17 hours with 30%+ when I plug back in when I go to bed.

There are a lot of things you can do when you root, but this phone is very good without. I have had other phones in the past that just weren't up to par unless they were rooted and I dont find that to be the case here.

just my .02
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laneyofdeath:
U can't freeze certain apps without root. Most Apps tbh but yeah the phone will be fine beforehand naturally. Otherwise u wouldn't buy it
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1Android:
you can disable apps without being rooted.

[Acer Iconia A500] JBT1:
Hi all,

Just a short post to share my experience with ICS.

I moved from HC (Taboonay 3.0) to ICS and install Re-Flexxx ROM. Beautifull ROM but face quickly my first SOD. Discover wakelock application that help to avoid the SOD by the battery life was shortened.

I try differents bootloader, try to wipe all (data/caches...) try to format partitions, try a lot of different kernels , look through last_kmsg log with the hope to find some root cause but never succeed to solve the SOD issue.

I move then to Taboonay 3.2b4 ROM hoping the SOD was ROM dependant but face the same SOD problem.

I was on the way to revert to HC bootloader but decide to try one more ROM not available on XDA: TegraOwner ROM v170. I'm running this ROM since 2 days and did not face any more SOD.

My 2 cents for thoses in the same situation than my with their A500 tab.

Bye
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
MY "5" cents worth...

Please, in the future, remember that post's like this belong in the "General" forum.

[Acer Iconia A500] evolucja:
I can confirm that TegraOwnera ROM rocks. Gave it a try yesterday and immediately forgot about any Acer update matter. :) In a couple of days(maybe hours) they'll release JB which i think will be as good as ICS.

So I advice you all forgotting about official update and install ICS mod which is even better than the official would ever be.
[Acer Iconia A500] lifeofcoding:
If you think that's good, run aokp ICS or jb, or even cyanogenmod they are the biggest and best out there, and there ROMs come with some many extra features to where you can customize literally just about any detail, from colors to layout design, to integrated settings with features like nova launcher. (Controlling animation effects, changing my desktop to look like a cube went switching desktops, and more)

If you have not ran aokp, or cyanogenmod ICS then no wonder you think tegraowners is the best

Acer stock, is well stock.

tegraowners is tweaked.

aok/cm is tweaked, and have sh** tons more features, like changing themes, changing design, CPU control, UI control, ect...

Maybe tegraowners ROM could be as good if they had a team of hundred programmers with the goal of improving android, and adding additional features.

That's why those ROMs are better than tegraowners will ever be, anyone who has tried cm/aokp can tell you.

By the way the jellybean ROM here is a lot better than ICS,.... not just as good.

And by the way there is already a 99% working cyanogenmod 10 jelly bean ROM here, it just doesn't have all the features cyanogenmod usually have integrated with it yet. Reason people don't like tegraowners is because he keeps his source closed, why hide something if you have nothing to hide? People worry that in his code he can be tracking every little thing you do, even everything you type. Not saying he does, we just don't know that he doesn't, because its closed source. Either way aokp or cyanogenmod are the best ROMs out there with tons of features tegraowners does not have. That's why if you Google it those roms are the biggest and best.
[Acer Iconia A500] JBT1:
Thanks for sharing your experience. I will give those ROM a try after my vacation, I need in the meantime a stable ROM. What about SOD (witch is my main concern) with those aokp Roms?
[Acer Iconia A500] daveid:
Tegraowners is just a CM9 Kang, so saying CM9 has more anything is just bad information... just saying... btw, why didn't MD lock this thread or move it?
[Acer Iconia A500] evolucja:
@lifeofcoding, whops, i thought this thread is about A501 roms, where tegraowners is actually the best one available. And i dont really understand what features do aokp or other roms have that TO doesnt.
[Acer Iconia A500] nifterific:
I've yet to run AOKP (I'm a bit of a cyanogenmod fanboy) but the TO rom is CM9 based.

Simply put, lifeofcoding doesn't know what he's talking about. The TO rom isn't tweaked, it was built from the ground up WAY before there was any official ICS, then it was merged with CM9 sources.
[Acer Iconia A500] lifeofcoding:
OK so TO does not have a tweaked kernel? Not tweaked for over clocked, or faster benchmark? Thought so.

I know what I'm talking about trust me, I am a programmer for a living.

Oh, he built it from the grown up before there was official ICS?

He didn't just start creating his own original clone of ICS...

ICS was leaked online before the official release, so just like every developer here, they got ahold of the leaked ICS which gave the community lots of ICS roms before Acer even official released it.

He customized heavily, and yes some of it is his original code, but it is based on the ICS leak originally... so do some research, educate yourself.

He also maybe using the cyanogen device tree, but does not have there features, not all of them anyways.

Oh no problem man, I'm not sure if 501 has an official forum yet, but most ROMs will work for 501 if they are for a500 just won't have 3g unless they add support for it, a lot of developers here will make versions for it sometimes.

Trust me man, you will want to look into aokp (android open kang project) which is my personal favorite, which is similar to cyanogenmod, and if i am not mistaken aokp uses some of the CM source. Try googling "aoko features" or better yet, maybe find a list of features it has, or better yet watch a in depth review on YouTube... there is so many extra features I can't even begin to start to name them, for one you can change the design and colors of everything in notifications and task bar.. change transition effects in the apps menu and desktop (like nova launcher, except a lot of times it is integrated) change themes, change layouts, toggle which options you want to show in notification menu, to changing small details of how the icons look like, and add or remove options in it... there is performance where you can change governor and CPU speeds, pretty much it goes in depth if customization, say when I want to scroll through desktops it looks like I'm spinning a cube, or other effects.. you can pretty much change the color, design and layout of everything, add music to boot animations and much more, trust me man you may love it, or you may feel that TO ROM is more for you.

Anyways check out some YouTube videos of aokp, you will see what im talking about :)
[Acer Iconia A500] lifeofcoding:
Google aokp and go to there website, they have ICS milestone 6 you can flash, you can Google, or YouTube the features, they have ton customization.

I never experienced SOD on it.

He may use some of the CM9 source, but he does not have all there features, at least the latest TO ROM I ran did not.
[Acer Iconia A500] nifterific:
I have v170 on my tablet right now, so let me clear some things up for you about what features it does and doesn't have. What it does have? All of the CM9 features, every last one. All of the home screen animations (cube, stack, etc), all of the drawer options (fade side pages, transitions, merge with widgets, etc), all of the theme and lock screen options, all of the system options (top status bar, inverted status bar, power widgets, quick launches), hell it even has the dock options in case you decide to run a launcher that isn't trebuchet. Its CM9, I don't know why you would think it doesn't. He even uses the CM9 boot animation and in settings, clear as day "CyanogenMod version" and "Tegraowners ICS ROM v170 (thor & digetx)".

As for the Acer ICS leak, the Tegraowners rom was on v96 when the leak came out, all that wasn't working was the camera. It was 100% built from the ground up. I don't give a damn if you're a programmer or not, that doesn't change that thor had built a 99% functional ICS before we got the leak. If thor had the leak from v1 like you're trying to claim, he wouldn't have had "waiting on Acer ICS HAL" next to camera on the to do list until after v96, he would have straight up had working camera. He didn't modify the leak or stock rom, he built from source. AOSP. Android Open Source Project. It is possible to build it from scratch you know.

And his kernel isn't tweaked either, just like his entire rom, he made it from scratch. Its not a tweaked Acer kernel, its his own. Thats why his work isn't allowed to be linked to here, he won't share what he built. Don't tell me to educate myself when you don't know a damn thing about thors CM9, a rom people have been running longer than the Acer leak existed.

If you're a programmer for a living, I would expect you to have a better handle on the English language than this. Just saying.

This fixed my sleep of death issue completely, it's been three days, totally stable!
[Acer Iconia A500] evolucja:
@nifterific, you were faster :) I wanted to write exactly everything you wrote about functions. Great post!

@lifeofcoding, you know, it's all about 3G support. There are so many ROMs for A500, and I'm sure they're really good, but the worst thing for A501 owner is that they don't support internal 3G. Now I think I could count all A501 ICS ROMs using fingers from one hand: Evil Alex which is almost as Acer official, bugged Acer leak 021 and awesome TegraOwners. And when Thor will release JB for A501, then there will be really no alternative. As long as CM10 will not support 3G.

hey

m looking for a method to flash prerooted ROMs on desire HD (without rooting the device) with unlocked bootloader by HTC [Device is S-ON]. I use to have a Desire S with unlocked bootloader and all i did was flash revovery image thru fastboot and install a prerooted ROM by placing the zip file in SD card n using to recovery to flash it but that method doesnt seem to work with Desire HD as after i pushed recovery thru fastboot phone is stuck on white HTC screen when trying to boot into recovery??
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuyInTheCorner:

Ok probably be flamed for bringing this up... But, I have been looking for a sensible solution to my redraw problems... All these 'fixes' seem more of a placebo effect. I have been forced by Sky to use the Stock ROM but touchwiz redraws after almost everything! The phone works great on custom ROMS but I can't use them. Am I expecting to much from this phone? Or does anyone know a way I can use apps that are root protected/stock kernel on a custom ROM?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baldilocks:
The redraw is a Samsung/Touchwiz problem. It's not a memory problem. Even when I had the North American versions with 2GB of RAM, Touchwiz still had redraw issues. It's on Samsung to sort it out.

You can always download Nova Launcher from the Play Store and use it instead of Touchwiz.

I didn't get the wallpaper offsetting, my problem was every time I went back to home all my folders would re-draw, did my head in and made was a wee bit embarrassing when showing it off! So tried Nova Launcher, loved it, went Prime to support Dev, had re-draw in app draw a few times. I then thought it might be down to the amount of apps I had, so made groups with Nova Launcher which helped a lot!

Now I'm running AR HD 2.1.1 since yesterday and not had a re-draw once....also a quick tip I picked up change your Animations from 1x to 0 in developer settings, this may reduce the re-draw! :)
