[HTC Sensation] .TanTien:
You can S-Off your device without unlocking the bootloader over HTCdev. This way you can root and flash custom ROMs/kernels without loosing your warrenty.

If you have issues and you have to send the phone in, you can just run an RUU for you phone and S-On it again. Nobody would know that you have rooted it.

And if you want to S-Off take a look at the Hboot version! Hboot 1.2x has a different and more difficult way of S-Off'ing.
[HTC Sensation] Gaz1521:
Oh right, how would I go about S-off'ing my phone? Would it still require me to go through the whole root process first off?

Thanks for your help :)
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
First we have to know your H boot version to direct you to the proper guide. To find out, pull battery, put battery back in, then at the same time press power and volume down button. Hold. Then you will see a screen pop up. Look at the information on Top of the screen. Then tell us your H Boot version. by the

Way, I also pay insurance every month on my device and I'm rooted and S off. If anything should happen I would restore back to stock and S on again. This way they would not know device was rooted. Hope this helps.

[HTC Sensation] Gaz1521:
Just did as you asked and my H boot version is 1.27.0000. That is what I was curious about, the whole insurance deal.

My main reason for considering rooting is to be able to theme my phone a bit more than what a launcher lets me, so what is recommended for this, just rooting, just S-off'ing or both?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] BobThaBear:
Both process are reversible, once its s-off and rooted, just dont change your hboot and your good to go. I had the same concern, yet when i needed to return my phone for the warranty, they never even cared and sent me the other one without question (after i turned back the s-on of course). Follow Ganesh's guide here: https://www.google.com/url?q=http:/...ds-cse&usg=AFQjCNGNDWtlRFM7pBTIlQr-Y6Vd4nJEgw

Very easy and completely safe!

BoB!!
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
I suggest rooting and S off. I don't regret it for a second! I try all kinds of awesome roms and I'm able to customize to exactly how I want things! It's been a totally positive experience for me. As I mentioned in above post, I too pay the extra insurance monthly. If there we're a issue I'd return to stock. As above member mentioned he did it and didn't have any problems. I think once your rooted and s off you will be very happy. But do take the extra effort to s off because it's worth it in the long run and makes things easier for you, You will have the ability to do more with s off. Best wishes.

[HTC Sensation] Gaz1521:
Oh right, thanks you guys. I now feel more able to go ahead and root, now I just need to decide whether I think Im capable of doing it correctly.

Just had a look at that link you posted BobThaBear, it looks abit on the daunting side so Im going to have a long, hard think about it first.

Thanks for all of the help though, its very much appreciated :)

The main problem is hardware rendering,when it will be fixed,things like camera,sensors work.

libutils.so

libpixelflinger.so

libETC1.so

libui.so

libstdc++.so

libm.so

libGLES_android.so

the source is need to create the indepentdency library that not affect the other library so if that happen we can now use the egl.cfg with out having problem in other library...

Or else use a pre share library source.. like david did to fix swap color...

Hi guys,

I assumed that with all Android devices nowadays, any contact I add will be by default saved to Google Contacts.

just browsed my Google Contacts online and found that almost all of my recent phonebook additions are missing from Goog Contacts.

Isn't there a way to have them saved and synced forever??

Thanks,

Go under system setting then account and touch google account and turn sync on. If your under T-Mobile they have their own account sync
[HTC One S] orenfl:
After confirming you have Google account and synced, check in PEOPLE app that the contacts are actually saved as "Google" accounts.

If not, you can always go to people->menu->manage contacts->copy contacts->from phone->to Google.
[HTC One S] thedynamix:
Hi guys,

Thanks for the replies.

I think the issue was that by default, the contacts were saving as "Outlook" contacts, hence why they weren't appearing in my G Contacts.

Not sure why the default is set to Outlook - is there a way to change this?

Also, it appears there is no way to migrate contacts added and synced to Outlook to G Contacts.. Anyone know?

Cheers,

TD
[HTC One S] Darknites:
See if Outlook can export contacts a csv file then go to Gmail on the pc and import it into contacts there.

No need for Outlook extract:

Get into people on your phone, choose in the menu: manage contacts, copy contacts, choose the source account (Outlook in your situation) and then the destination (Gmail) and Done.

[Xperia Play Android Development] CriGiu:
Hello guys,

I saw a lot of users (also me xD) that frequently have build.prop error when flashing a custom rom from another custom rom.

Well, i created a simple flashable .zip that contains the original build.prop, needed by custom roms like cm.

How to use that:

1. Flash this fix BEFORE installing any custom roms.

2. After it installed, reboot recovery for applying changes.

3. Install your custom rom.

4. Enjoy it! :D

​

Hope it helps some users :) sorry for my bad English :p
[Xperia Play Android Development] Spizzy01:
Wouldn't the build.prop be erased when installing a custom ROM as the system partition is formatted?

If that's not the case I'll download and keep this safe in case I have the same problem in the future lol. Thanks. :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] CriGiu:
you have to format system partition before flashing this fix :P or you'll lose build.prop, and you need to reflash them :P

installing custom rom doesn't make you lose build.prop ;)

sorry for my poor English
[Xperia Play Android Development] Spizzy01:
Ah.. Makes much more sense then lol...

Although some ROMs do format the system partition before install, so I'm assuming those wont work..

Also - Your English is pretty decent compared to a lot of people!
[Xperia Play Android Development] CriGiu:
I think it will work also with that kind of roms, because for fully applying changes you need to reboot recovery, that otherwise views build.prop also if in your /system directory it doesn't exist :P
[Xperia Play Android Development] Selim873:
I hope you're leaving the American and English out of this comparison. ;)

Anyway, nice patch! I'll try this if I run into this error! :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] CriGiu:
Thanks man :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Spizzy01:
In some cases.. You'd be surprised... xD
[Xperia Play Android Development] agraceful:
I don't think you know what a status 7 error is. It has NOTHING to do with the build.prop. Status 7 refers to updater-script found in the META-INF file. Delete the get product info lines or something similar to that. This is actually a waste of time to make some zip when it's simpler to delete three lines. Build your "thanks meter'" some other way. Oh, and by the way, changing your build.prop to some random one can really screw your phone up.
[Xperia Play Android Development] MilkyJoePD:
Some ROMs do an assert check or something. Does this flash the build.prop for this phone to allow flashing to take place?

That's a very good idea if so. It could be avoided by the build.prop check, but this will do.
[Xperia Play Android Development] CriGiu:
did you try to delete that lines from updater script in roms based on jelly bean?

try and tell me if it's simple ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] CriGiu:
@MilkyJoePD yeah, it allows you to install roms that do an assert check. you still can remove the getprop lines from updater script (the 1st 4 lines), but on jb roms there are some files with the same names especially in /system/etc/terminfo, and that's compromises the good re-zip of your rom. that's what "agraceful" doesn't know, because he never tryed yet ;)

again sorry for my English

My wifes Galaxy S3 came with a 1amp charger. My note 2 came with a 2amp. Would it be better to charge the note 2 with the 1amp charger vs the 2amp? I remember reading a post that said the 1amp charger would take longer but the battery would hold that charge longer/better than what the 2amp would provide. The 2amp would charge it faster but the charge wouldn't be as good/longer lasting.

What do you guys think?

Thanks :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkManX4lf:
Either one will work. I would use the 2 amp one. Just because the charger outputs 2amps it doesn't mean the phone will draw all 2amps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] reinaldistic:
the 2 amp charger won't get drawn for all 2 amps, but it will get drawn more than 1 amp. charging slower (with the 1 amp) won't mean it will keep the charge any better
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nerys71:
if you need speed use the 2amp. if you don't need speed you can extend the life of your battery by using the 1amp. (slower charge is healthier for the battery in the long run though not likely measurable by the likes of us)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tjpallares:
There is a reason Samsung included the 2amp charger. The Note 2 has a huge battery. The 2 amp charger will charge your note 2 faster. The device draws the amount of amps it needs. The charge is held the same way, doesn't matter the amps. Im sure Samsung wouldn't include a charger that would damage/negatively effect the battery.
