Many People ask me "What is root and do they reallly need to root"

Rooting is a process allowing users of smartphones, tablets, and other devices running the Android operating system to attain privileged control (known as "root access") within Android's subsystem. Rooting is often performed with the goal of overcoming limitations that carriers and hardware manufacturers put on some devices, resulting in the ability to alter or replace system applications and settings, run specialized apps that require administrator-level permissions, or perform other operations that are otherwise inaccessible to a normal Android user. On Android, rooting can also facilitate the complete removal and replacement of the device's operating system, usually with a more recent release of its current operating system.

ABOVE ALL IT VOIDS UR WARRANTY

Q-I have just brought a new phone do i need to root?

A-No,Never unless u r familiar with flashing,cwm,etc,etc

Q-Many Of my friends are rooting,Shall i root?

A-If u are really happy with what ur phone can do then do not root.;)

Well I've been using link2sd for some time now. I've never had problems with it but recently I've been getting errors where it says I have read-only :confused:

I have to reboot my phone in order to link apps again. Then after a while it becomes read-only again. Has my sdext become corrupt?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rr0yy:
Check library files.. libtitanium.so 's permissions.

Is this happening with all the aaps??
[Optimus One, P500, V General] CosmicDance:
Why don't you reinstall Titanium again? Also, I feel it's better to install titanium backup in the internal memory instead of the sd card.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ecuadude:
Yeaa this is happening with new apps I install but works again after reboot

I did reinstall it and it does link. I think I'll keep titanium backup on internal. But this doesn't just happen with this app
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ThePresence:
Was happening to me also......then I uninstall link2sd, restart my phone and reinstall link2sd and now it works flawlessly....

I just changed my phone to the new RUU, and now I have no signal on my phone at all. I know its the Global update, and that I can choose, so I went to the call menu and changed my phone to CDMA/LTE. However I don't get any signal, I get nothing at all, can someone help?
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Hmmm... Interesting, I knew that the phone defaulted to Global Mode and you have to go to Settings -> Mobile networks -> Network Mode and select LTE/CDMA to get it to work, but you are saying that it still does not work? Is the back cover on (the antennas are in the back cover)? Did you flash the RUU twice?

Why are you double posting this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swooperz:
Wifi should be working for this version but if not, try going into your Settings and disable all of Network and Broadcast options, then reboot and re-enable everything. You can also try to reboot first into recovery, and reboot back into the phone afterwards, reenabling the Network and Broadcast options.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickelghandi:
Whenever I have issues with a ROM, my first step is to go into recovery and clear the cache and dalvik cache and then fix permissions. After that if it still isn't working correctly, I return to recovery and wipe everything several times and then re-install the ROM.

You may get better response for your specific issue by posting it in the thread dedicated to the ROM you're using.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GaboWarrior:
Hi comunity!

Well you'll see, I will try ro explain the best I can, because I still don't dominate the English language, so here I go.

I'm from Mexico city and I have an Xperia Arc S LT18a when I brought it, the device come with GB 2.3.4 so I read a lot and then I could flash without fear a "clean" firmware and then I could upgrade to ICS so, my device is locked bootloader, but it's rooted and with CWM I've played some time with the Fw 431 and proved mod roms for stock, in this moment i have the Fw 587 and the doubt I have after all the story nobody wanted to read is, that when I was in 431 and I checked the memory status with SetCPU the section with swap total and swap free always was in 0 no matter if I was at stock Fw or in a mod rom, and now I don't know how magically I have data using that status, and the point it's that I just have Fw stock 587, a few apps ported from Xperia S, MicroSD Adata 32GB class 10 partitioned with 29GB fat32 & 1.91GB Ext3 for using with Link2SD (1.87 after the formating process, and 1.74 it's what Link2SD has recognized or assigned after mounting the partition.)

Rooted with the downgrade kernel proces and flashed back the kernel, the same configuration when I was on 431 and never saw any movement on the swap memory. This could be a new benefit of the new characteristics from Fw 587? With this I think could be possible to use swapper for make a 256mb file swap for use it? Somebody had noticed this too or this is normal and i'm a total nooby asking stupid questions? Btw when I was preparing the device to kernel downgrade, flash tool detected that was busybox 1.84.5 already installed, and I was just about to begin to move the guts to my phone.

[General Questions and Answers] hajalie24:
What I'm looking for is for an app that lets me use my phone as a mouse to control my tablet. Thing is it has to be over the internet and not wi-fi.

Think of an app that works like blueputdroid but connects like tablet remote, does something like that exist?

Tablet Remote would work in most cases, but I'm mainly trying to navigate game menus with my phone, since although many games support a gamepad for some reason developers never thought about controlling menus with it too. And I can't use bluetooth cause sense roms have a borked bluetooth stack, and AOSP roms have terrible battery life in comparison.

Will that change back my radio? and what radio do you guys recommend in my region? TIA!

As for your query, NO! you cannot downgrade the firmware from 2.21 to 1.78. Try the latest radio from 2.31 OTA update in developers forum, it improves signal reception. And when not using 3G turn the radio mode to GSM only! (network> 3 dots menu buton)!

[Motorola Droid RAZR] ChungHung.Chen:
Hi All,

In previous 2.3.6 with my RAZR Maxx AsiaRetail, there is an screensaver behavior.

When I use HDMI output to play movies, ex: PPS or some MP4 which in SD Card,

Video is output to TV ONLY and only control bar in RAZR's screen.

So when I using HDMI output to match Movie, my phone screen will be ALL BLACK.

With AMOLED used in RAZR MAXX, it should be better to protect screen and power save.

But after upgrade to ICS 4.0.4, this function is missing.

Does anyone know how to bring it back?

Thanks for your help.

Best regards.

I do not think there is currently a way to do that due to chrome OS does not run apps like windows. However if you want windows for a long time on your computer you can switch the switch inside your chromebox to developer mode and edit chrome to do that or install windows. I hope I helped
