[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankquattrone:
Hi, i need to do this too because my company requires MobileIron to access email and it checks for root. How exactly do you remove root after installing the custom rom? Do I just uninstall Superuser? I found a thread from another phone that said you could just rename the following to files:

/system/app/superuser

/system/bin/su

It said to append .bak to the end which I guess allows restoring it later if needed. Will this work, particularly with MobileIron? Thanks.

MIUI or CM roms?

Maybe trying to stop the service that's checking for root will be a better idea...

You can still use MIUI or CM based roms, there is an option to turn off root access.

if you use super user, just open the app. There is a button to remove root

I am trying to accomplish the same thing with MobileIron. Has anybody tested this by removing root manually after flashing a custom rom?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankquattrone:
I installed ARHD 21. Came from pure stock. After mucking around with what I needed for root, like changing the camera shutter sound to make it silent, I then did the unroot in SuperSU's settings. Rebooted then went into MI and was able to connect to company email. FYI, I tried to connect to company email before doing the unroot and I couldn't connect. I'm hoping ARHD will give me better battery life than stock. I also installed the 23 toggles theme before unrooting but I'm not sure if you have to do it before unrooting but I figured might as well. Hope it works for you.

Oh, if your company requires encryption like mine does, if you use ARHD the encryption unlock screen when you first boot is all in Polish. You just type in your pin or password but it's a little annoying. Everything else from what I can tell on ARHD can be changed to English once you select the language. If you figure out how to change the Polish from the unlock screen, let me know. Thanks.

I found this online

Well... I was searching once about a topic similar to this one and I found that you can unroot manually by deleting the following files (if found (all of them)):

/system/bin/busybox,

/system/xbin/busybox,

/system/bin/su,

/system/xbin/su,

/system/app/superuser

Then reboot and you should have unrooted your phone!

I haven't tried this yet!! But anyway here's the source:

Just wanna share an article I came across.

Android Version Secret Image

Do you want to know more about your Android phone? Well why not find the secret Flying Ice Cream Sandwich Androids on your Android 4.0 phone. If you don’t have an Android 4.0 phone don’t worry there might just be a secret image on your version too.

Are you are looking for a random fact about your android phone? How about discovering a hidden image in the about option in your settings?

The first mention of this that I found was on a YouTube post about hidden flying ice-cream sandwich androids in the newest Android version (Android 4.0). If you are lucky enough to have a phone that is running Android 4.0 here is how you access the flying ice cream sandwich.

Go to your Settings and then scroll to the bottom and go into the About option. Now scroll down to the “Android Version” description and press it several times quickly, you should now see this image:

That’s not all though, press and hold down on the image and you will get access to the flying ice cream sandwiches, and they look like this:

When I saw this I got curious and decided to see if my version (Android 2.3.6) had anything behind the Android Version description. What I found was Zombie Art by Jack Larson with an Android hanging out with the zombies.

This for me defines what Android and its developers are about. The platform is designed for users to take it and morph into what they need and want. The developers of the software seem to infuse this sense of humour into the platform not because it’s good for marketing but just because it’s fun, that’s my opinion anyway.

Have you got a different version of Android? What’s behind your Android Version description?

Hi, my Nexus 10 32GB arrived today - I was out, so it'll be delivered tomorrow - and I see that online people are talking about the 'book cover' which clips onto the back being announced officially. I can see nothing on the Google Play store in the UK and I wondered whether anyone had any information as to where I might get one?

Many thanks, in advance... :)
[Nexus 10 Accessories] dr9722:
Damn your's arrived today and you're from the UK? What time did you order? Ordered mine at 8:39am and nothing has arrived yet.... :(

With regards to the book cover nothing has been official announced yet. Rumor is that is wasn't available for mass shipping on launch day.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] bigbamboo5:
Yes, I got lucky and ordered it at around 0830 yesterday. Clicked 'buy' a half-dozen times and it kept going wrong, so I was a bit stressed that I'd end up with loads! Even then, it hung on the confirmation screen, so I wasn't sure I had it until I got the email at around half-ten.

Then I blew it by being out this morning and missing delivery! :silly:

Any rumour as to when the cover will be launched - and will it only be available from the Play Store?
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Chalkley:
Wow, that was quick. I also ordered mine at about 8:44am yesterday and mine's still pending in Google Wallet. :(
[Nexus 10 Accessories] dr9722:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arroba3:
Hello!

I'm using the stock ICS 4.0.4 XWLPY rom and I'm really glad with it. But when I install all my apps and games I have to move some of the to the sd card. By default, the system moves them into a ".android_secure" folder in the External SD card, making the boot time very long, and sometimes it doesn't even load the apps/games stored at the external SD card.

So, my question is, is there any way to move the apps to the internal SD (usb storage)?

Thank you!

P.S.: I've a rooted phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Audio01:
Hi, I'm trying to do exactly the same. I've already spent all the evening searching for this and couldn't find an answer. The issue is simple, I want to use the internal memory (/storage/sdcard0) for the .android_secure folder, instead of the real external SD card (/storage/extSdCard).

Why? Because I would like to have all the external SD card free for music, videos, pictures, etc. and I don't use the internal memory for my files, so there's a lot of free space not used. Also my SD card is slow (in comparision with the internal memory).

Thank you very much!

Some apps not working after updated to 4.2, so I'm considering back to 4.1.2.

Though I never done this before since the day I get Nexus 7,

I think use Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit should get it done.

But just for sure:

1. Do I need to unlock/root to flash factory 4.1.2 image? (I think it is not but not so sure)

2. Directory structure seems different from 4.1.2, is it OK just using Toolkit to backup/restore settings?

(Sorry for my English if anything looks impolite)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
1) unlock bootloader yes; root no, as you're going to overwrite the system anyways.

Also I'd suggest not using a toolkit, just download the factory image off google's page and run the "flash-all.bat"

2) Use Titanium Backup to backup all app data, wipe after flashing 4.1.2 and then restore apps + data with Titanium again
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ro_explorer:
I just downgraded this morning. All your data will be wiped .. ALL YOUR DATA ... meaning, after I got back to 4.1.2 I was having 13GB of free space on the tablet (out of 13 possible) :).

So, if you HAVE a nandroid from the 4.1.2 days, save it to your computer (along with all your files).

If you don't have a 4.1.2 nandroid, at least create now a backup repository with whatever tool you prefer and then save the respective files to PC.

Then, flash the factory image for 4.1.2.

Then copy all your files back to the internal memory, install the backup tool and restore your apps.

The reason behind this is that the update from 4.1.2 to 4.2 has some scripts that are porting the original /data and /sdcard mounts to the new structure used in 4.2

When downgrading, you no longer have scripts to do that for you so the newly installed 4.1.2 will not recognize anything so it will bootloop like crazy (I tried first to restore just the /system ... but all the other data was already affected by the update so was no longer usable).
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tronmech:
My thoughts:

If you got the ota, and things messed up, try flashing the 4.2 factory image. That seemed to help me. If you're not rooted already, I would recommend becoming familiar with the adb backup command to backup apps before doing anything else. You have to unlock the boot loader to downgrade or flash the factory 4.2 image, and this will wipe the device.

Once you update either way, definitely take the time to root. You can then use adb restore or titanium backup to restore from the adb backup you made before unlocking.

Just be aware that adb backup doesn't seem to backup all apps, and that titanium backup isn't exactly fast parsing through a big adb backup file.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Letitride:
Assumed you are referring to downgrade from 4.2.1 to 4.1.2 and rooted to run TB, so the basic stock rom is up & running otherwise, correct?

Let's try Plan B instead - go into (Custom) Recovery and wipe dalvik cache first, then reboot. Give it a few minutes to settle and try to do your TB restore WITHOUT data, and see if it works. The /SD and/or /SD/0 directory structures are setup differently on the N7 and trying to retore with your custom settings will just make it more difficult & complicated. If this works, you can then try to selectively restore one or more with data and hopefully without going into endless bootloop again.

Plan C - go to Play Store, then Settings and "All" - you should see all of your Apps and what's installed, etc. - and install from there, it's semi-manual but it works for me 99.8% of the time when it would otherwise freeze within TB, especially true when switching custom Rom & kernels.

I usually manually copy & move back items such as documents, pictures & mp3's, etc. from standalone/usb backup drives or cloud storage back into the device once everything else are up & running properly.

Let us know if this helps & working for you or not.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Youssef Hossam:
Thankss !

Thanks for your help , but I think the problem was that there were apps in the backup only compatible with the custom ROM I had and android 4.2.1 xD

Hi fellow people,

i'm a noob just made my xda account like 5 mins ago. I've been trying to search for my problem but I haven't really a found a direct answer. So yesterday I just got my Samsung Galaxy nexus update to 4.2.1. I was really excited until I started having the battery issues, screen lock issues, and overheating problem. I really don't like 4.2.1 and want to downgrade my version back 4.1.2. My carrier is the Mobicility (Canadian). I did not do anything previously with this phone such as rooting it, doing all the funky stuff that will void my warranty. I heard about flashing some google images to get back 4.1.2 but I'm not sure if I need to root or how to like do it through the gnex toolkit that mskip made. As well what if the difference between yakju and maguro? I heard if you flash the wrong image it will brick your phone or something like that. If there is a method without having to root it and lose all my contacts, then I would prefer that a lot.

Thanks,

You dont have to root but you need to UNLOCK the bootloader which will obviously erase all your data(and VOID your warranty). you can find the factory image here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images . just flash the appropriate image and you should be as good to go.

Hi Guys.. Im using Samsung Galaxy ACE Rightnow..

I hve planed to move-on & YES to Either Galaxy S II (OR) Galaxy Nexus..

The choice i hve is Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S2 and HTC One S. and the choice is due to my budget.

i know the NEXUS 4 has launched...but as for the news i heard.. LG gona either sell it for above 30k or don't launch it India as samsung did..

The cons i hve with the S2 is ..

1. Poor design.

2. No quick android update... the current update of Android is 4.2 & still s2 got just the ICS. Dono y samsung guys forgot their device after selling them..

3. Absence of dedicated notification light.

The problem i found in getting the Gnex is that,

1. its not yet been officially launched in the India, so no HW & Software warranty.

2. Prob in the GSM Network Getting Locked.

3. lower spec compared to the S2.

My cousin has jus bought GNEX frm ebay las month, n a week before his gsm module got locked while he try to update to 4.1.2..he says like its asking for " SIM Netwrok unlock Pin ".

So pls do help me buying a correct device...

Either GO for the nexus Device or the Samsung galaxy S II....

Thanks in advance...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prashanthme:
1.Poor design?? Many ppl retained to S2 bcoz of its nice design...

2. I agree Android update is not quick bcoz of several reasons, AOSP is completely different from Touchwiz.. Like heart s same only skin is changed..

3.BLN might help u.. Even i agree S2 should had notification light.

Gnex:

1.Gnex is made by Samsung. So u ll have universal warranty.

2. Forums might be helpful.

3. No lower at all both have same... Except Camera.

BTW nexus 4 is 24K on Ebay... Now decide which phone u ll go for.. Dont worry if sammy releases 4.1.2 we ll get upto 4.2 unofficially :)
