[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Raptor2099:
I'm currently running IconiaN 2.4 and I installed Seeder a little while ago via CWM and tried a few things. Maps is definitely faster like most have said. I played a couple games and I found Edge and Edge Extended to be roughly the same, Pitfall is the same, Beach Buggy Blitz is the same, and so is Sword and Sworcery. TigerArcade (a Mame type emulator) runs WAAAY better now, not sure why, but it might be because the games I'm playing use a caching system to load on the emulator. I'm going to try Need for Speed Most Wanted as that ran like garbage last time I played it and I hope it may be slightly better this time around. Non gaming apps: Youtube is lot more responsive than it used to be, ES File Explorer seems faster as well, not 100% sure, Android Browser and Chrome both seem roughly the same but haven't done extensive testing. Lastly unlocking and hitting home from within apps is definitely smoother and faster like others have been saying.

My recommendation is to go ahead and give it a go as it seems like its worth it, plus if there are updates to it that make it any better you can just CWM those right over the current version with no need to wipe cache or data at all.:cyclops:

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GWDPhotography:
Ok y'all I'm just going to come out and preface this by saying that I'm a noob when it comes to rooting phones and don't quite understand it. What is rooting exactly? What are the benefits to rooting? Does it void the phone's warranty? And what is the best method for rooting the Droid RAZR M running 4.1.1 Jelly Bean? Is there any way to "un-root" a phone once it's rooted?

Gunner out!
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whodisname:
There was is an old website. Ummmm what's it called ummm how you say ummmmmm ..... oh yeah Google.

Rooting makes the phone more fun to play with. Yes it voids the warranty. Yes you can unroot.

Hit up Google. They supposed to be some sort of informational website or something.

And don't take my sarcasm wrong dude. Im just messing with ya. If you decide to root this thing and you need help ima hook you up. I knew squat about android when I found this place and I was led by the hand for a bit. I don't mind giving back!

I'm all ears
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingnarkissos:
I have always used root, as a preface to installing custom recovery and a custom rom. I don't know how new you are so please don't be offended when I say custom recovery and roms give you more options and more freedom to make your phone yours. I also root to remove system apps that aren't used commonly called bloatware that come preinstalled on your device and without root you can not uninstall these. There are apps on the market that require root to gain use or full use like setCPU, root explorer and titanium backup there are others as well. I hope this little bit of information helps you make your decision!
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jsparta26:
Here's a link to the guide on how to root your phone

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1940630

Its really easy. Just download the moto droid razr drivers and install them on your PC. Follow the directions on the screen. Just a couple button presses and presto. The program will let you know that it has successfully gained root. Use root checker from Google play to verify proper root. Should you run into root access issues. Here is a zip that will fix that.

Delete the original su file and superuser apk from the motofail2go folder and replace them with the files located in the root zip and paste them in the motofail2go folder. Rerun the program and it should work then. Good luck.

Im rooted on 4.1.2 I9300XXELLA and I want to overclock but I need a kernel, does anyone know what will work? Please post link, this is my first time rooting.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kriomag:
There is only one best kernel for our S3

http://www.gokhanmoral.com/ - look for S3 version.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidS3:
Okay will this brick or bugger up my phone?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
The kernel will is safe to use, but when flashing there is always a chance of bricking, just to make sure you get the right one here is the link to the kernel you need.

http://d-h.st/users/siyah/s3

The one that has CWM in the name is a zip file to flash in recovery mode, go to install zip from sd card, then choose zip from sd card and browse to the folder you saved it in and select the zip and scroll to yes then reboot.

The .tar file is to flash in Odin, add the file to PDA, enter download mode and connect the phone to the pc via usb, then click start sit back and your phone will reboot automatically.

Make sure repartition is NOT checked in Odin.

To check the kernel go to settings, about device and check kernel version.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidS3:
Well I have already rooted in odin so do I just download this kernel on my phone, the go to recovery mode and apply the kernel and thats it? Or have I got to do more than just rooting and aplyimg the kernel?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
Did you root using CF Root or CF auto root? Auto root doesn't use clockworkmod, if you used auto root you will need to use the .tar or flash clockwork mod via rom manager (available in the play store.)

Appart from that just install the kernel.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidS3:
I used cf auto root in odin, could you write down the steps I will need to go through to apply this kernel so I can overclock, im fairly new to this so I get confused very easily lol
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekoRngear:
Does it increase binary counter ?;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidS3:
Could you explain it step by step?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidS3:
@thekoRngear how did you install the kernel? Did you root with cf auto?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
Through CWM, this will not increase your binary counter however in the latest bootloader booting to custom recover sets it to 1.

Download the .zip file and save it to your internal sd card (less chance of failure)

Download rom manager from the play store

Open rom manager and select "flash clockworkmod recovery"

Confirm your phone model

Follow any other on screen instructions

Then when it's flashed switch your phone off

Hold Vol up, home and power button to boot to recovery

Select install zip from sd card

Select choose zip from sd (something similar)

Select the zip file, then scroll to "yes"

Wait for it to flash and reboot

Through Odin (this will increase your binary counter.)

Download the .tar version

Open Odin

Click the PDA button

Select the .tar file you downloaded

Put your phone in download mode (Vol down, home and power)

Connect your phone to your PC

Ensure repartition is NOT selected

Click start and wait for the phone to reboot

Then check the kernel version in settings, about device.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidS3:
Do I have to do both of these or just one?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidS3:
Sorry I post so much, as its my first time rooting im just worried about messing up my phone, so I have rooted my 4.1.2 and to apply this kernel is it best to do it through mobile odin, pc odin or through recovery on my phone?

Another question is that when you say internal sd, is that the normal memory inside the phone or a micro sd card?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekoRngear:
I downloaded the CWM Zip file and flashed via CWM recovery 6.0.2.7 touch.

Internal sd means normal memory inside the phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidS3:
Okay so ive downloaded the siyah 1.8.6 zip, and ive also downloaded rom manager, should I just go straight into rom manager and apply this kernel or is there something else I have to do?

Also what is a binary and flash count.

Im new to this so im learning :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidS3:
Also where it says 'flash clockworkmod recovery' I have to have clockworkmod installed, how do I know if I have it or not?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
You don't need clockworkmod intalled to flash it, just tap flash clockworkmod and it should flash it.

Then boot to recovery to install the siyah zip file.

The flash counter (or binary counter) is a value in the bootloader that changes whenever something unofficial is flashed through Odin whether it's root, rom, recovery, kernel anything. Samsung have used it for awhile to stop people who have used custom firmware just flashing a stock rom then getting a warranty service, There are however ways to reset the flash counter to claim a warranty service if needed.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidS3:
Okay I will give this a go thank you, when I downloaded the siyah im not sure where it would have went to, where would be the normal place it would have downloaded to?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
If you downloaded it on your phone's browser it will be in /sdcard/Download, if you downloaded it on a PC browser it will either have gone where you put it, or into user\Downloads.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidS3:
Yeah I downloaded it on my phone, ill see if I can find it when I look through on apk installer
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidS3:
Well I found it, its in /storage/extSdCard/download

Is it a problem being there or does it have to be moved to /sdcard/download?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
It's no problem, just when you are in recovery select "choose zip from external sd" rather than "choose zip from sd" and you will see it in the download folder.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidS3:
Okay thanks when im in recovery and aay I couldnt find it can I just come out of recovery easily?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
Scroll to go back until you are at the first page then select reboot.

By the way you use the volume keys to scroll and the power button to select an option.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidS3:
Well I think it has worked, I just done it thorigh external card and it said flashing and then it said enjoy, so I just went back and rebooted the phone and it seems to be okay.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
Check the kernel version under Settings, About device, also to overclock you should use the stweaks app, it should have been installed when you flashed, if it isn't installed it's in the play store.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidS3:
Yeah all works fine and just overclocked :) also whats a good gpu overclocking setup?

Another question is say in the future I wanted my phone to be back to normal again with everything stock, how would this be done?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
Go to sammobiles.com and download the latest stock firmware, click PDA in Odin connect you phone in download mode and click start, then wipe data from the stock recovery.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidS3:
Ahh I gwt it, so download the 800mb I think firmware, then go into odin click pda like I would when doing .tar files, let it do the process then I guess factory reset?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
Yep, the only thing to keep in mind though is a data wipe (factory reset) from the stock recovery will wipe the internal sd card, so be sure to back it up first.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidS3:
Right got it, thanks mate, do I still click the reboot buton in odin? Keep it the same as I did when applying the .tar files?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
With the default settings it should reboot when it finishes flashing.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidS3:
Okay then, when its all finished will it be stock as it was normally? Could then I use OTA updates and things like that?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
Yep.

The only other thing you might want to do before you flash stock is run the TriangleAway app by chainfire, it will reset the flash counter I explained earlier so no one knows you ever modified it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidS3:
Ahh I see, do this while im rooted or when im om the stock firmware?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
While your rooted.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidS3:
Okay mate thanks for all this you have been a great help, now to overclocking, do you know the best setup fir a gpu overclock? The best frequency and Mv, Im going to run a couple of benchmarks but I want to run them with a overclocked gpu

Okay I may be asking loads of questions here but do you know how to get the note 2 camera? I want to record in slow motion? I really want to record in slow mo as I will be recording my mate on a bmx
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
Note 2 gallery and camera are posted in the themes and apps section, however the only ones I can find are Deodexed, what that means for you is they will not work on the stock rom, you will need to download a samsung based custom rom like Omega or Wanam lite for them to work.

They may even cause a bootloop on the stock rom, after which you would need to reflash or restore a backup to get it working again.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidS3:
Oh so I cant really do it on my firmware now?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
Not from what I have seen, but check the themes and apps section just incase I missed something.

Any that say they are deodexed will cause problems.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidS3:
I found this, someone has put I link about half way down the page, a dropbox link, its a zip file for the slow motion, they said flash it with CWM http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii/225743-slow-motion-video-camera-gs3.html
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidS3:
I dont want to try it incase it puts me in a loop
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
You can boot to recovery, go to backup and restore, then backup your entire rom, then if you get a bootloop just restore the backup from recovery and you just loose some time.

Lol found one that works with both odexed and deodexed here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1954538

I reccomend you backup in recovery (nandroid) before flashing it, in fact backup before flashing anything, then if there are any problems you can easily restore.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidS3:
So the link you posted will this work with 4.1.2? And how do I do it?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
It should do, just flash in recovery (do a backup just in case)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidS3:
Yeah I did try a backup and it took absolutely ages then after about 10mins iy said fail, what should I do?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
Check how much free space both your external and internal sd card have, the backup is pretty big. Also check for a folder called ClockworkMod and delete it because that backup will be corrupt.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidS3:
Yeah when I went to settings and then to storage then miscellaneous files, I saw a 3.6gb file that said clockworkrecovery is this what I delete?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
I believe so, but 3.6GB seems a bit much an old backup of mine is 2.54GB but delete it, make some more space if you can and try again.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidS3:
Is there a way to back it up to the sd card external? Or only internal?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
Select the option that says "Backup to External SD" not the Backup option.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidS3:
Okay well I have deleted a few things which took up about 2GB of space so that'll help to keep the backup to a minimum
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
I'm heading out now, so if you have any problems make a post in the Q&A section, unless you want to wait until the morning for a reply :p
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidS3:
Okay mate, well ill post the question but you can reply in your own time, when backing up it went all the way through and was okay but as the end it said 'no ext sd found' then 'skipping ext sd'. But after that it said something about 'm5 sum' then backup is complete. So has it failed or is it okay?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidS3:
Can somebody help? Does this mean the backup was successful?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
That's fine and it worked.

Just a run down on the last two for you.

Sd ext means an ext partition on the sd card it's used for various reasons but not needed for every day usage. Ext is a volume format used in linux.

The md5 sum is just generating an md5 string to ensure when you restore the backup is not corrupted.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidS3:
Okay mate so im guessing its okay then? And if I try to install the .zip of the note 2 camera do I just do the same as what I did when installing the kernel?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
Exactly that and if there are any problems boot to recovery and restore your backup.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidS3:
Okay what would I do if the backup didnt work?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
Reflash the ROM you shouldn't need to wipe data if it goes to that.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidS3:
Well ive installed it but it just says camera has stopped working what can I do?

Alright guys I just found a thread that is becoming viral right now and I just want to post it here AS IT WORKED LIKE A F*CKING BOSS ON MY ACRO S (Stock ICS 4.0.4 firmware .55, Stock modded kernel with init.d support by cobrato)

It just reduced almost all the lags on my phone! Everything is faster and smoother! App open, transitions, animations, everything!

Link for the thread here - CLICK ME

If you have a ROM/Kernel that supports init.d scripts and shiz like that...

Flash the zip file instead of the apk... provided by this guy who posted this - CLICK ME

After flashing... go to Android Terminal Emulator (Get it for FREE on Play Store if you don't have it)

and follow as the post instructed, type su then hit enter... then type seeder

if you got it correctly it should be like this...

after that type 3 and hit enter... when it shows something like this...

THEN IT'S WORKING FOR YOUR PHONE! Try it out now! Good Luck guys!

AS ALWAYS, BEFORE DOING STUFF LIKE THIS ON YOUR PHONE, DO A FULL NANDROID/CWM BACKUP!!! :D Peace!
