Further, using Titanium backup you can create and restore backups of all your apps and system data. Moving apps to be system apps so they work better. Ie maybe it was a bug but if you use the beautiful widgets weather (asus weather is waayy to big) and click one click clean it wont open on next click. pushing to system fixed it.

If you like gaming check out gameCIH the app. (Look for it in the browser, I don't wanna link and get in some sorta trouble) This app once you know how to use it allows you to cheat on games lol. Some games when they update are designed to trick the app so if you backup with Titanium use cheats then back up again go into the market and select update it usually pulls over. ie Heroes Call money for example

Why root? First Titanium Backup. Two, BusyBox.

These things or using ADB or Android's SKU, you can remove bloatware or other ware you don't want. Currently, i would suggest just freezing them unless you know how to pull or add with ADB incase you need to factor reset because it may case problem if you do a factory reset.

After that, it's more what you're into. I like Sixaxis Controller. It's a really good app to let you use a PS3 controller with some games. Great with emulators. It also lets you map out touch controls. On a side note, Wiimote works well too, but it's uses a Wiimote and doesn't requite root, but not touch control mapping for games not programmed for a controller.

If you like to get apps not available in the US such as BBC iPlayer or NFL Game Pass, MarketEnabler. You can also use to this to get apps that are specific to carriers

RootKeeper is another good one. This will let you play Google Play movies since they don't, usually, play on rooted devices.

Screencast is an excellent screen capture and screen recorder.

Rooting itself unlocks a lot. Just depends on how you like play. Unlocking, that's for the bootloader and recovery, which would be specific for nandroid backups and flashing. Thus, were talking custom firmware, kernals and some custom scripts (these is usually where unlocking features that are build in, but not turned on for some reason). As of yet, the TF700T is very limited in these things.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Blairware:
Unlock... THEN ask what it's good for... THAT's the noob way!

Dude, you are doing it bass akwards. You rooted, and now are looking to see what you can do, then you want to unlock, "just because" I had the Prime for 7 months before I unlocked it and only did it then because I was backed into a corner, with Asus refusing to provide fixes anyone (we went 3 months with no updates, and then they pushed out the worst update of any they had ever provided.) THAT was when I unlocked, and 3 weeks later I regretted it. there was only a couple of ROMS (the ONLY reason to unlock if for a custom rom install) and they were all, just okay, nothing spectacular. Biggest mistake I made on the Prime. Granted there are ALREADY more roms out for Infinity, but the grass AIN'T always greener. I suggest you read THE ENTIRE THREAD for EVERY custom ROM for this device (or at least the ones you think sound worthwhile) THEN, after seeing all the BS those folks are going through (or all the joy they are having... there are ALWAYS pluses and minuses) you can decide to unlock or not. remember YOU CAN unroot. Unlocking is a one way street, and if you go into a bad neighborhood, here is no return trip.

Why people are always in a rush to root and unlock, without even knowing why they are doing these things is always a mystery to me. You are exactly the type of user that ends up crying in these forums how you briked your device. SLOW THE HELL DOWN. There is no magic bullet to make your tablet perfect. Time, and reason and logic and LEARNING are what will make you tablet perfect.

EDIT... Oh yeah, do you realize that if you unlock you won't BE GETTING JELLY BEAN? No from Asus, and not OTA. You will have to wait for a developer to pull it and make it flash-able for your unlocked tablet. Unlocked means no OTA updates again. EVER. Not that the developers aren't awesome, they are, but you will have burned your Asus bridge once and for all. Still "on the verge" of unlocking? Listen, I am sorry to be harsh, but the way you want to unlock is just wrong on so manly levels, if I saved you from yourself, you may be glad later. Don't forget, sine you are rooted, if you want to KEEP root, get Voodoo OTA Root Keeper (on Play Store) - and you have to run it BEFORE applying an OTA - not after if you want to keep root through an OTA update.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
I'm sorry, but I tend to disagree with the above poster in most respects. The difference between stock ICS on the TF700 and Zeus 4.0 ROM on the TF700 is reason enough to unlock your device. Regarding voiding the Asus warranty - so what - from what I've read about their warranty service, it's almost useless anyway! My recommendation to anyone who unlocks their device is to get a SqureTrade warranty instead of dealing with Asus' piss-poor warranty service. This way you are covered with warranty and get the advantages of being unlocked. For the $80 (with coupon) for a 2 year standard + accidental damage warranty, you simply can't go wrong - it gives you complete peace of mind.

That being said, I do agree that you need to be careful and make sure you understand what you are doing before you unlock. But, it's not hard or complicated to unlock or flash custom ROMs - just read up and ask questions first if you are not sure of something and you'll be fine.

Regarding not getting Jelly Bean via OTA - it's not a big deal at all - there will be flashable JB-based ROMs within a day or two of JB being released (if not sooner).
[Asus Transformer TF700] paddycr:
^ What he said :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] hit173:
Yeah I have been doing my research n I decided to wait for jb. If jb doesn't cut for me, I'll be unlocking and getting that square trade warranty.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Just keep in mind that you can only get the SquareTrade warranty for up to 90 days after purchasing the tablet (30 days if purchased on Ebay).
[Asus Transformer TF700] hit173:
what about bestbuy? i bought the 21st of july when it 1st came out.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
With Best Buy (or any retail store) you have 90 days from the date of purchase - so you have *approximately* until October 21st....
[Asus Transformer TF700] Diogenes5:
I prefer to only root usually if I.can but Zeus is exponentially better than even a system-tuner-tweaked stock. I got constant crashes on stock and I/o problems were rampant. Voided my warranty but I can just flip it on eBay or send it in anyways if push comes to shove.

By default on Sprint phones the bars only indicate VOICE coverage. They have nothing to do with 3G EVDO or 4G LTE reception. I have aseen a few custom ROMs that split the bars into two for voice and data, but the regular software doesn't make this distinction.

There is a chance you could be connected to one tower for voice but evdo is down on it so you are using a different tower for data, and an even higher likelihood with LTE since most towers haven't been upgraded yet.

The lte is being installed as we speak and will be turned up when the market is about 90% done.

I heard this from a sprint rep

The reason the smaller areas /towns get it first is because they are test markets

Hello. My Lumireads App was working beautifully now it force closes the moment I open it. I installed a few epubs and the trouble began then, but I can't figure out which epub it was. I have about 50 total.

Before that it would force close when I scrolled looking for titles.

Any suggestions? I deleted the epubs I thought were troublesome and cleared cache/data for the LR app. Still force close upon opening.

Thank you for any help you have.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bad Sector:
It appears my screen backlight is not working. Using screencast I'm about to view the phone display and touch the phone to issue commands...

I have managed to install Mobile Odin Lite and the appropriate Flash pak to the phone.

Can someone help me with finding a rom to flash that will return the phone to stock and remove the yellow triangle?

Currently I'm running Re-Caulked 0.2.0 and I have the yellow triangle on boot. I've seen post about issues using the yellow triangle away.

I'm hoping that if I just flash a stock rom it would remove the yellow triangle and root.. can anyone confirm this for me?

I'm on Sprint.

Thanks,

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] YellowApple:
Normally I'd say that this is a hardware issue (backlights go out all the time in my experience, usually because of a bad capacitor in the circuitry supplying power to the backlight lamp(s)), but since the Epic 4G Touch has a Super AMOLED screen, which doesn't have a backlight, there could be something more problematic.

Does the screen come on at all during the boot process, or is it always black? If the former, it's a software issue and flashing a different ROM might actually help. If it's the latter, then it's a hardware issue and thus warrants returning the phone to Sprint/Samsung for repair/replacement (I'm assuming it's still under warranty).

Hello, I am currently flashing the Stock Rom for the ATT GSIII and im using Odin to do it. Im sure there is something wrong here but i dont know how to fix it. The proccess is supposed to take no more than 30 min, its been 7 hours.... Its moved a decent amount since I started it 7 hrs ago, but it still is not done or even close to be honest. Its on the System.img.ex4 part. Anybody have any suggestions? I remember when flashing my Xperia Play, if I used different tar files while it was stuck on system, it would work, but I cannot find a different file for the official stock rom for ATT GSIII. Please some help would be appreciated guys.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjb933:
In my experience, the flashing has been pretty quick - nowhere near 30 mins on my GS3. I recently realized my bottom mic wasn't working and wanted to verify if it was the ROM I was running or hardware, so I flashed back stock. Turns out it was the ROM, but the flash took maybe 5 - 10 minutes of the latest stock w/ root injection.

I've been in your shoes, I know it's a scary spot to be, but I'd say that your flash here has failed. I'd try and reboot the phone again into Download mode and start over (perhaps with a new copy of the tar).

Be sure to double-check your procedure as well, make sure you have the correct settings checked in ODIN, (restart and 1 other, can't remember off hand - at work), and load in the TAR file into the PDA section.

Good luck! :good:

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
Yea. You need to download 4ext recovery. After that go into the recovery--->select wipe/format ---> select format all except SD ---> then got to tools ---> find format ext3. The reason you get that error is because it is trying to format in est but the kernel only functions in ext3. You could also make a nand of bamf ics and using 4ext recovery convert the backup to ext3 and restore it when it finishes.

Hey guys wondering if anyone else had this issue? Got the Galaxy S3 and its runs pretty hot. Not like the whole phone but like half of it mostly where the home button is but in the back.

Don't know what it is. Wanted to know if anyone else was experiencing this or if its kernel related/ROM related.

I've tried switching ROMs, Kernels, Governors, Schedulers and still nothing. Also undervolting and underclocking. Right now I'm running Casper's AOKP build 9/20 and its running beautifullyt except for this heating issue.

Let's see if anyone else is having the same as me or can offer help.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] radioraheem:
I'm running stock, rooted, stock kernel. It heats up when I'm gaming or doing something CPU intensive. Never had a problem because of it though. I've seen other threads where this is pretty much considered normal.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] NoLunchBox_:
I mean I had a GNex before this and it did used to get warm in the back when I used to surf the web or use the phone but once I rooted and changed kernels, undervolted and underclocked, I could do anything and it wouldn't get hot.

Since I'm fairly new to the GS3 I just figured I post it on here just to see if this was how the phone ran typically

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] NoLunchBox_:
Like its weird. When I'm not using the phone is perfectly fine. When I text or sometimes use WiFi its fine. And also when my battery is like under 30% its fine. But other times like when its full, it gets really hot. I'm using lean kernel ATM.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Illusion81:
Like with my phone as I type im full battery right now, and its cool as freon. And im over clocked. If your still under warranty then why dont you swap it out if its that hot. Otherwise I wouldnt worry about it too much.

Alright I'm back to report. I'm still on AOKP running Ktoonz Kernel and no undervolting or over clocking. Its at 1.3 and 540 MHz and its running fine without getting too hot.

BIT I have to add I took my SD card OUT. Yes I noticed that the phone was getting hot where the sd was located so I took it out. Idk if its just me but this helped a lot. Its not running as hot as it used to be.

Anyone want to test that out as well? Would be helpful. Thanks

that would kinda make sense because when i use the adapter on the micro sd and put that in the computer and put some roms and some videos on it id say maybe 10 min to do all that. and then when i retrieve and go to put in the phone its really hot. so it could have something to do with that
