[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Customizability. You can make the phone fully yours, have it run how you want it to run, to include faster or more efficiently. In theory, anyone can learn to dev and make exactly what they want their phone to be. Though in practice we usually just settle for whichever devs' preferences match our own, and are extremely thankful that somebody made it happen.

Consider my sister's phone, actually a nexus S, unrooted. I'm on a galaxy S and I'm running the 4.2 camera and keyboard. I showed those to her and she was so stoked, but she refuses to root, so I can't install them on her phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floepie:
There is considerably less reason to root with such a device as this, but you do need root access to install some really cool and useful apps, especially Ti Backup as mentioned above. Don't forget that rooting is nothing like jailbreaking, as the latter is way more intrusive, that is, jailbreaking can indeed potentially render the iphone less stable. However, root access is simply elevated rights to the ROM (system) partition. But, you don't really need it. Just enjoy the phone and don't sweat the need for it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3Shirts:
Indeed. I think people equate rooting to jailbreaking but it's very different. Even with root access, apps need permission from you to run at root level. The first time you run them a message will ask you if you want to grant them permission (you can then tick an 'always allow' box for that app). If anything nasty tries to run at root level you will be prompted about it and if you aren't expecting it, you can just deny it.

I have rooted every android device I've owned, mainly for apps like Titanium Backup, AdFree, Game Guardian but also for customisations like different status bars or modded system apps.

You don't NEED to root, Android is more open than iOS out of the box. For example you can have different keyboards, messaging apps, diallers, alarms, calendars, navigation etc without needing root.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wngmv:
Basically gaining full access to the system. Some "programs" require modifying/accessing the system stuff. The best root app I think of is Tasker, which allows you to create almost any scenario to associate with an action. For example, disable sync between 12am to 7am, also mute all notifications. Also, if you open Maps/Navigation/tracking applications, automatically turn on GPS and turn off GPS when you exit. Also, when I plug in earphone ask to open either Phone app or Google Music. Also search for wifi ssid, if it matches my school's wifi, then connect to wifi and turn the phone to vibration. When leaving school turn off wifi and turn on ringtones. If ssid matches home's ssid, then disable lockscreen, turn on ringtone and connect to my home wifi. All of those require root access.

It's the same as the root access as in any other Linux system. Think Administrator privilege on Windows. However, it does come with some risk of others accessing your information/password. But as others have said, be careful about which app you grant root access. I only grant root access to those well-trusted apps.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IINexusII:
coming from an iPhone, you wont really need root access. you can still do much more than iOS without root. I don't think you should also be getting into customization and stuff as a new android user, as the Nexus 4 is already stock android. Just enjoy the stock experience and you can root later once you have more knowledge of android and want to start doing more complex tasks.

Hi

I am using Nexus 7, and in its Chrome browser I found that the lab features (such as swipe open a blue panel for switching/closing/adding tabs) is gone. I miss the feature (when I had it on my sold Note) for it allows switching tabs pretty easy and fun.

Also, there is this tilt to switch tabs.

I am stuck at cup 12 of asphalt 7 version 1.0.1 with no money on bank. I do not know if I have bought the most expensive vehicle or accessories to win every race but currently I can not proceed any further. :crying: I have tried playing some quick races to gather some quick cash but that is not enough to buy more and more from shop. I have searched xda forum if any cheat available for non-rooted galaxy s3 but my bad luck I haven't found anything yet. I have not rooted my device as it seems very complicated to me.

I am not looking for saved game data where every race has been completed to unlocked all, I just want to add up extra cash quickly. If anyone can help me with a cheat for extra money. Thanks

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] disclaimernotice:
I'm afraid it's somewhat illegal to cheat in such games as you'd be 'depriving the developer of potential earnings'. Nonetheless, there's a well approved thread in the general apps section on xda talking about an app called gameguardian which you could try. But that requires root.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] XHaGGeNx:
Phone was rooted using TWRP. I locked the bootloader and now I can't boot up into anything but the page with the TAMPERED RELOCKED screen, also has bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, power down. Am I screwed? I just wanted to revert my rooted phone back to the original OS and it's been a freaking NIGHTMARE ):
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] HTC_Phone:
So you've relocked the bootloader, and then nothing else?

Run the RUU from the bootloader screen. Make sure the RUU is for YOUR phone
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] XHaGGeNx:
That's the thing, I can't get into it! I can't get into that screen where I could access stuff to INSTALL, MOUNT, etc.. it keeps taking me to the white screen with bootloader,reboot, etc.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thejosh86:
Seeing as though you have relocked the bootloader you can either a. unlock the phone again so you can install a custom rom or b. run a ruu to get it back to stock.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] XHaGGeNx:
Yeah because the problem is i have no OS to boot into. It just goes into recovery mode. Can you point me in the direction on how I can unlock the bootloader again?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] HTC_Phone:
No no no. You said you wanted to go back to stock correct?

Download your stock RUU, and run from that white menu that says RE-LOCKED at the top. That's your bootloader
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] XHaGGeNx:
Ok, when you mean run from that white menu that says RELOCKED, how can I run it from that menu if I cant get into anything from this menu? Do you mean just run the RUU program from my computer and have my phone connected to the PC? I used to be able to go into that TWRP screen when i was in bootloader but now I can't.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] HTC_Phone:
Believe me, the fact your screen is on is a sign you are

not

bricked. Run the RUU (Make sure it's one that is easily rootable, like the 1.85 for ATT), and go through the process of bootloader and unlock and rooting. Hope this helped
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] XHaGGeNx:
I am glad to hear that. It's almost done downloading, about 4 minutes left. I really want to thank you for helping me out here. I am such a screw up with this stuff. Sigh. anyways, I'll let you know what happens here shortly. Thank you so much once again. Really..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mgutierrez87:
Honestly man once you get back to stock, don't worry about unlocking and rooting it. You have no business rooting your phone and flashing roms if you can accidentally delete your os, backup file, and the recovery partition. Not trying to be rude, but think about it, you could of destroyed your phone with one more bad flash
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] XHaGGeNx:
It's working! It's updating and everything. Phew! No offense taken, I hear ya and agree. Just being a noob at all this can put me into a lot of trouble. I have learned a lot of stuff though lol. Anyways, thank you everyone for helping me! I should be good from here :)

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] HTC_Phone:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] superchilpil:
Hate to bump heads with ya dude but this isn't the way to be, I frown upon threads like this as well but I encourage others to root no matter who they are. Granted they do need to take the time to research what they are doing and how to get themselves out of a hole like this but someone has to help them learn

This is a community working towards a common goal, you never know maybe this dude will make his way towards development somewhere in the future. Or more likely since others helped him in his time in need he will turn around and try to do the same for someone else

Just my two cents
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Deleted member 3452239:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
He didn't delete ROM, recovery or anything. He relocked his bootloader. It just won't let you reboot unless you relock with a stock recovery flashed.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pyroshane:
The United States is a bit larger in area than the United Kingdom. A truck would take about 3 days to get from California to New York. To get around this, our major shippers (UPS, FedEx, and USPS) each have large fleets of cargo planes that transport packages across the country. Usually they use a hub-and-spoke system where all of the planes fly into a central hub, which redistributes the packages from their arrival flights to their destination flights. From their destination airports, the packages are then loaded into trucks that now have a much shorter distance to drive. The total process takes between 2-5 days, and you can pay extra to make sure it arrives sooner. There are also direct flights between all major cities, and for an even larger extra fee, you can usually ensure that your package is on one of them, so that you can receive it the day after it is sent (next day air).

Many online shippers (Amazon in particular, and apparently Google's new US distributor) have their major warehouses located in or near Louisville, Kentucky or Memphis, Tennessee, as Louisville is where the US UPS hub is located, and Memphis is where the FedEx hub is located. This can greatly improve shipping speed while lowering shipping cost, as they can cut one of the flights completely out of the process while still using the cheaper hub-and-spoke system.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heat361:
Google does not have next day delivery atm they only have two day shipping.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supercakefish:
So you don't have actual next day delivery in USA then? As in; it despatches the same day you order and it'll arrive the very next day before 1pm?

But surely the big companies must have many warehouses all over the place in each State so there's always somewhere close by to despatch from? Having just a single warehouse supplying the whole of America by aeroplane seems strange way of doing things...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USSENTERNCC1701E:
We have that yes, call it overnight usually. And it is damned expensive!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pyroshane:
We have next day air, order before a certain time today, it will get loaded on an airplane tonight and be on a delivery truck to your house in the morning. You usually have to pay quite a bit for it, though. With many online companies (Amazon excluded) you will be paying between $20-30 for a small to medium sized parcel next day, where you only pay about $15 for two day, and less than $10 for 3-5 day. I have paid as much as $65 for overnight delivery guaranteed by 10AM with special handling instructions (it was for a live, endangered turtle being sent from a private breeder).

The infrastructure is already there from multiple shipping companies to fly things across the country, and simply due to the volume of shipping that goes on, it is much cheaper to fly it than it would be to have a bunch of warehouses and extra trucks. Amazon Prime members get free second day shipping on any order directly from Amazon (but not from all of their affiliates) and pay an extra $3.99 per item to get it next day, and almost everything is shipped out via UPS from their Louisville warehouse.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supercakefish:
Ah yes I know right? Yeah it's not exactly cheap this side of the pond either! £8/$12.70 on Amazon!

Ouch. Here in UK, next day delivery is £8/$12.70. Our 3-5 day delivery is completely 100% free! One of the advantages of being on an island I guess :)
