[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Mitch_Faiz_555:
My phone seldom hangs(actually it hangs at a extremely low chance) and doesn't do anything even if i press the home button (though it can turn off the screen by pressing the power button:D)

I wonder if it has some problems or bugs

NOTE:

1.my phone is rooted

2.I had flashed the ROM once as the phone is bricked

3.I'm now using I8150ZSLD1 ROM

4.it's later updated to I8150ZSLM4

anyone who can help me PLEASE reply this post, give me some suggestions or just tell me to flash another ROM cuz it hung once today & I'm very very worried about it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ownage1100:
I have an app that checks for root permissions and refuses to run. I am running a Blazer pre-rooted ROM. I have tried the following:

adb shell

mount -o remount,rw /system

busybox cp /system/xbin/su /sdcard

busybox mv /system/xbin/su /system/xbin/su2

When I do this several apps that require root such as titanium backup fail for obvious reasons. The phone is still rooted however. I know this because adb shell is still defaulting me to a root prompt, even after reboot. My questions are:1) If I mv the su binary to something random how does the phone achieve root upon reboot?2) Would it be possible to su to a different uid (the normal non-root user) and then launch my app or change the entire android environment to it?3) What is the Superuser app called in this ROM? There is no /system/app/Superuser.apk. I would like to try to uninstall it.

Thanks,

Ownage

[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] justin94:
OK so I've searched and searched and have come up short all over the place. I'm looking for a program or app that bypass or allows me to edit a PDF file so that I can read it. The files I want to read are for my school. I have a password for them but no programs allow me to view them on my tablet. I want to be able to read them on the go. Any help at all will be much appreciated
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] jgaf:
Can't you just remove the password on your computer then transfer it to your tablet?
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] justin94:
Tried that, it still wants me to unlock it
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] Reilly1812:
You can't remove the password with a pdf reader. Adobe Acrobat allows you to remove the password and make the change permanent. Of course, Acrobat is not free. However, the pdf reader/viewer you are using should be prompting you to enter the password. Once entered, you should be able to view the file. Worst case? Download Adobe's own reader app from the play store.
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] jgaf:
Maybe try this program http://www.pdfpasswordremover.com/
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] justin94:
Yea. I downloaded the trial version and when I went to copy everything it had a watermark all over it that said JOKA. so it didnt work
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] justin94:
I'll try this when I get to my computer later

Ezpdf reader
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] Reilly1812:
Your original post stated that you wanted to be able to read the pdf files. I've got password-protected files on my phone and tablet. Installed the Adobe reader app on both and it works like a champ. Yes, if you really want to edit and modify pdf files then you do need to look elsewhere. Not trying to bust your chops, but you need to be more exact in your post so your time and others are not wasted. :)
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] painkiller_93:
+1 adobe reader works fine for me when reading password-protected files
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] justin94:
It has to do with the DRM security of it. So found this program a couple of weeks ago and never got it to work properly as far as being able to unlock the book called PDF factory. It was a simple matter of print to file using adobe and printing to the program. Then it opens in PDF factory reader and I save as. It is a free trial version so it leaves a tiny watermark with a link to their website at the bottom of each page.
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] Hounge:
It depends on a few things.however if you can email me the PDF I have had mostly success removing these passwords for transferring pdf's to my phone, i can't imagine it is that much different for tablets. I've got some perl scripts laying around somewhere.

Softaken pdf unlocker is free tool and designed to unlock encrypted security and help to edit .This is a reliable and error free application and easy to handle. For more info visit this site :- Softaken unlock pdf files
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] JohnsonSmiths:
Hi, There are many other users also who are facing the similar problem. Many times users are unable to copy, print, or edit the PDF document. Therefore, in such cases it becomes necessary for the user to have some applications like Softaken Unlock PDF Tool to unlock password protected PDF. With this software, user can remove security from PDF documents easily on any Windows OS.
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] demarquiss:
To unlock PDF file security you can use Softaken PDF Unlocker Tool. A few days back I was also searching for the tool that can unlock and remove PDF restrictions. However, after a lot of searches, I came across this utility. It really helps me to remove restrictions from PDF documents and enable all PDF permissions, This software runs on all Windows systems.

Hi all

Can someone help out quick?

I had my first mess around with the S3 last night and done the CF-Root with Odin, a NANdroid backup and then put on CyanogenMod 9 and everything has gone fine, other than the fact that I don't have any contacts, text messages or previously installed apps?

Am I able to get these back? I was sure I had the contacts and txt's synced through my Gmail account, but it doesn't seem so now....:silly:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoot1:
Contacts synced through Gmail should have come back..go to account and sync and check whether contact sync option is enabled..

Texts are not synced to Google servers..use SMS backup and restore from market

everytime i need to transfer over files.

Also the has anyone been able to use the movie studio app in cm9, because mine just stalls out
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jyod:
Simple Qn. Will the root stay after doing a factory restart on 4.1.1 or you have to root again?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miketoasty:
All a factory reset does is wipe Data/Cache, Root is located in the System so no you will not have to reroot.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jyod:
Thanks a lot. Meaning to say I have to reinstall busy box and super such thru app store right?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zilol:
If you are on stock, yes. If you use costum roms its unlikely because devs usually integrate into the rom.

Flipboard has the most effortless ui, flipping between content is a breeze, what is different is the optimal utilization of the screen space, the screen space is completely used to only display the content,a simple flip at the bottom takes you the next page, one day i wish to see a web browser with such a ui, where scrolling a web page will mean just a flip,n which will improve readability
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] emppu:
Hi guys.

This may seem stupid but i am wondering if is possible to resize the partitions from a xperia u,so i can have more space in external memory.

If yes, how can that be achived?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Yes, with LVM. AOKP builds might use a different layout by default.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Rapier07:
Logical volume management you mean? would be awesome top squeeze out around 6gigs for music and stuff
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
The plan is 500MB /system, 50MB /cache, rest /data with a virtual sdcard (like GNex).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Rapier07:
And from the data partition?

2gb is really not necessary
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
There will be no sdcard partition, there will be a large data partition that will be used for both sdcard and apps in any ratio.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Rapier07:
Oh that would be great! That partition would be around 7gigs then right?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
6.450.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] thebrainkafka:
Is this already possible for any rom. Is there a generic script or tool for partitioning

Thx
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
No, you need to modify the ROM at lower level.
[HTC One S] electrox73:
Hey guys, read this http://www.androidauthority.com/att...-sandwich-update-available-with-twist-105238/

So the HTC One X's update will fix the menu button issues (YAAY!) but will disable root (NOO!).

Will the same happen to the HTC One S after the update? I am choosing between the One S, Galaxy SII and Xperia S.

The cons of the One S are 16GB internal but no MicroSD card slot, ceramic surface could come off (my operator doesn't provide the grey version) and the menu button. Now the menu button will be gone but no root? I would only root the One S after the 2-year warranty ended cuz it voids it but I don't know if a future Jelly Bean update will re-enable root again...
[HTC One S] frdd:
Yes it will, you just have to root it again the same way after the OTA.
[HTC One S] electrox73:
So what actually means when root is disabled? I can root it anyway?
[HTC One S] frdd:
Yes one consequence of HTC replacing a lot of your system files is that you cant become root any longer. Just fastboot boot r3-superboot-ville.img again or click whatever it is you click in the all in one tool and you'll be rooted again, I just did it today after applying the 2.21.401.10 EU OTA.
[HTC One S] electrox73:
So I don't have to have worries? Will it be no problem to root it again after the update? And does this generally happens with updates or just with HTC? And will the risk of something happening increase if I will root on a root disabled handset, or will it be the same?
[HTC One S] opiswahn:
So the Home-Button-Issue was on the OneX as well? Never heard it from there... Or ist that something else?
[HTC One S] electrox73:
What Home button issue? I meant the menu button issue when in non-ICS-optimized apps a strip at the button with three dots appears that takes up about 10% of screen.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StarkCity:
I've have a situation where an individual wants to replace the stock launcher. I've been successful in swapping out system launchers for third party ones before, but the S3 isn't liking it too much. The reason for this is the individual feels that his third party launcher suffers a lag that stock doesn't. This S3 is rooted stock, and the filing system is a little different from my other toys, the goal is to remove stock launcher completely and let Nova run all launcher tasks to see if the lag is from file location. On some devices, you can literally replace the launcher apk, reboot and its done, not the case here. Anyone ever permanently replace the stock launcher?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watsa:
I am confused as to what you want here. Why not just install nova/apex and set it as default launcher? If you are too keen on removing TW launcher just delete Seclauncher2.apk and odex from system/app.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StarkCity:
The individual wants to completely wipe out stock launcher and replace permanently with Nova, he has moved the apk, but is getting force closed, I can't confirm if he's deleted or froze stock launcher, and I'm sure he didn't delete odex, which is what I needed to know. Like I mentioned, this file system is a tad different than what I had in front of me, so I was unable to tell him to remove odex. He had mentioned that for him, Nova had a file folder, he asked me if he was supposed to move just the apk or the whole thing, I've only swapped apks, not file folders. But you've been informative. Thank you......

Edit: Still getting force closures after the move. :/

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] hassan3216:
Have the Rogers HTC One X....its rooted and bootloader unlocked using the HTCDev method. The only problem i have is with the Proximity Sensor!!

During calls, unless i COMPLETELY cover the sensor, as in the phone is pressed against my face/ear...the phone will stay on!!

So now its seems like it only has two settings: Screen ON when nothing is there. Screen OFF when i COMPLETELY block it instead how it used to b where i cud come close and it wud turn off. This is really annoying, because unless im pressing the phone really hard against my face, itll b on. N even then sometimes, i have to take the phone away, and then put it back against my face for the screen to go off..

USING Z DEVICE TEST: the proximity sensor range = 9cm, resolution +/- 9cm. Shows only two distance readings: either 9cm or 0cm. And again, i have to completely block the sensor and the reading goes to 0cm.

I wiped dalvik cache, tried different ROMS, dont know what the problem is....PLEASE HELP!!!!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] hassan3216:
anyone..? No one?!? :eek:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jspidey:
Mine works fine and the tool says the same - +/- 9cm. The only thing that changes while viewing that menu is the green bar that pops up to 100% when the proximity sensor senses something close. The depth of about three decks of cards stacked on each other is how close my hand can get without tripping the sensor. If you are having the same issue across ROMS, you most likely have a hardware issue. I'd flash it back to a stock ROM just to be sure (might want to stay away from the newest if you are flashing an RUU for now).

I uninstalled some applications and after that, main menu is empty in some points.

Is it possible to arrange icons in menu in order to fill these gaps?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] SCHUMI_4EVER:
If you click the button that allows you to arrange icons (the four little squares) and then exit that mode it should pull them all together closing any gaps (or you can use the mode to arrange them yourself).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] bour1992:
It doesn't let me move icons in the gaps and it neither pull them all together in that mode.

I hope there is other solution.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] SCHUMI_4EVER:
Restarted yet?

Also the pull together happens when you exit that mode after entering it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] F.A.I.S.A.L:
go to setting/applications/all

then find xperia home

and clear data...

it might solve your problem... :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] bour1992:

It doesn't pull them together if i enter and exit that mode.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Romuluscrohns:
I think I may have bricked my SGS3. Well, not permanently, I hope, but I'm stuck at a point and have reached the limit of my knowledge.

I had flashed AOKP. Part of this meant installing VZW GS3 EZ-Recovery App and flashing some sort of file with it, which I believe may have been a kernel. In retrospect, my lack of knowledge here probably should have made me pause... I'm not exactly clear on what a kernel is in the first place.

Due to some issues, I decided to go back to my rooted stock. I planned on booting into recovery and restoring to the point I backed up with Clockwork Mod. Suspecting that this kernel(?) business would need to be the same as when I was on stock before, I opened VZW GS3 EZ-Recovery App and tried to flash to the “stock” option in it. I think this was my mistake.

From here, I rebooted into recovery. And that’s where the problem started. I’m stuck in what I think is the generic Android recovery menu. I can clear data and cache, but there is no option to restore. When I select the reboot option, an error picture shows up in the background. The phone will begin to reboot, but always ends up back in recovery.

I’m guessing that ODIN thing is going to be used to solve this, and I have downloaded it.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I thought I knew the basics of rooting, having installed several custom ROMs on my old Droid X, but my current situation makes me think that I don't know as much as I thought I did. I'm sorry if I'm missing something blindingly obvious. If you want to lecture me on why I should have researched more or tried to do less, go ahead—as long as you can help. This is my personal phone, and I have my fingers crossed that I didn’t do irreversible damage.

Feel free to ask for any more information. I can probably take a picture of the recovery menu if that will help.

Again, I’m sorry for my stupidity.

Thanks,

Romuluscrohns
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dimeloklk:
Get your phone in download mode and flash a stock rooted or stock rom with odin. To get in download mode turn off your phone and turn it on by pressing volume down, home, and power together. We all make mistakes while learning to root a phone and then we learn from it. Just remember to always be careful with what you do.

Thank you for the advice! I am trying this right now.

EDIT: SOLVED! Thank you again! I'll definitely be more careful.

But, if I reboot (or battery runs out of juice before getting it charged) it then reverts back to being off the widget list.
