[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashutoshj:
Hi all I have a n7100 4.1.2 note 2 and would like to root it only to uninstall bloatware and move apps to sd....do not want to install custom roms or mods kernels etc....which is the best way for it?

Also after rooting this way will I get updates via kies or ota? Thnx
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lee yun khong:
It seems you wanna root your phone so that able to remove all bloatware but wanna keep as stock as possible.

You could go visit dr.ketan thread and there has the rooting method you are looking for. After your phone being rooted, you can install titanium backup( free version from google play) and remove all the bloatware. After that, unroot your phone by follow dr.ketan guide. Done.

No, with custom kernal you wont able to get ota or kies update.

Good luck mate.

I think it applies to a carrier unlock., not a bootloader for custom roms.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] Lokifish Marz:
Carrier unlocking is what it's talking about. This is also further proof that the the United States is has become "by the corporation for the corporation".
[Sprint LG Optimus G] benmatlock:
" Unlocking a phone frees it from restrictions that keep the device from working on more than one carrier's network, allowing it run on other networks that use the same wireless standard. This can be useful to international travellers who need their phones to work on different networks. Other people just like the freedom of being able to switch carriers as they please. "

unlocking becomes the new jailbreaking lol
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Xiutehcuhtli:
I didn't see this thread, hopefully a Mod will have mercy on me and delete my thread.

The basis of this law being passed is so weak that it really does make me quite concerned that the rooting community is going to come into focus before long. The judge ruled that unlocking a phone infringes on copyright laws, which it really doesn't, and I suspect that long term the rooting community will be a target. You can already see from companies like Motorola and now HTC that this is an area of concern for them.

Personally I am concerned for it, but would hope that companies that openly support rooting like Samsung and Google will come to our aid.

If the government DOES take action against rooting, I would hope that a judge would look at an OS like Android and rule that rooting cannot by definition be illegal since everything is open source. But we all know how that is likely to go.

I registered and signed the petition. Not sure if it'll do much, but hope it catches attention.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] latindor17:
It only applies to carrier unlocking, it does not affect unlock bootloaders.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Xiutehcuhtli:
With an immediate outlook you are absolutely correct. The problem here is the precedent that is being set.

If courts rule that simply unlocking a phone that is no longer "leased" per the terms of a contract is copyright infringement, there is not a huge jump for the courts to then apply this to the rooting community. Companies are already laying groundwork against custom ROMs, like HTC, Motorola, and to an extent Apple with the jailbreaking community. This could snowball in the future and make life really miserable for anyone wanting to root.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] benmatlock:
Copypasta from other thread.

Technically, the issue I see here is that you're 'leasing the phone' from the telco. This is apparent because if you cancel your service before the contract expires, you pay a 'fee' associated with a 'termination'. If you don't return the phone they 'gave' you, you are also charged another fee. They technically 'own' the phone until you've fulfilled the contract (afaik), therefore, they can legally tell you 'you can't use this phone on another service provider until you fulfill the terms you agreed to with us'.

Now if that contract later on specifies 'you shall not use software on your device unless it is specifically approved by acme telco.' or the like, then I could see a strong case for 'rooting is illegal' as you technically 'agree' to the service contract when you purchase service from that provider.

NOTE: You can still purchase unlocked phones from the service provider (or manufacturer) but they're usually more expensive (you know that discount you get from sprint? that's cause they pay for the rest of the phone, in the hopes that you won't default on the contract you sign.)

I like how you added in the part about "no longer "leased" per the terms of a contract" as that does change the argument you present, however, that's not what's at issue here. What's at issue here is you 'carrier unlocking' a phone that you specifically agreed to use on their network, so you can use it on another network (technically, this is a breech of contract, and technically you've defaulted if you do this by not following the terms of the contract).
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Xiutehcuhtli:
What I have read on this legislation is that regardless of whether or not you are still in the contract you may not unlock the subsidized phone sold to you by the phone company. I am the first to admit my understanding of this is far from perfect, but what I have read indicates that you CANNOT unlock the phone regardless of whether or not you are in the contract. This is, in my opinion, an area that the telephone companies should not be able to regulate. I took the "lease" terminology from the post you referenced earlier. In reality this is not a lease as much as it is a "lease to own" situation. The company does not request the phone back after the contract expires and cedes ownership of the property at that point to the individual. Under these circumstances the contract to use the phone specifically on their network is fulfilled.

I agree with you completely that while still under contract this is a completely valid legislation, and users should understand the terms of the contract, but it has also been reported extensively that the legislation extends beyond the end of the contract and allows phone companies to enforce these copyright laws after the expiration of the contract. THIS is the precedent that concerns me for the rooting community.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] benmatlock:
Well, what I have read on the legislation (just got done reading the jist of the part about phones) from the verbage, it implies that carriers (like AT&T for example) offer 'unlocking provisions' that allow you to unlock the device after the expiration of the contract.

It's not illegal to use custom ROMs yet for anyone.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] j4g3rb0mb3d:
Unlocking phones is still legal for phones purchased before the 27th. For most people, this law will only affect you with the next phone that you buy.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] benmatlock:
Thinking about this..

How would they ever be able to figure out you've done this? Are they going to call other Service Providers and ask "hey man, you got this imei on your network??"
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jayare313:
They aren't going after the users. Just the sellers of unlocked phone as its the process of unlocking that's supposedly now illegal.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] BigRitz:
I would say at this point for all of us here in this forum at least would understand that Sprint as our carrier as well as Verizon will not ever ever allow a non carrier specific ESN on there network , even if say someone were to flash one of our devices to cricket or metro they would no longer be allowed to switch that device back.

So this law that is highly geared towards aggravated theft and people being hurt even killed over there very expensive smartphone (let's be totally honest iSuck ) and with out any hassle putting it on a different carrier and not be traced, has nothing to do with the rooting community or custom ROMs especially here on xda where it is moderated to not allow copyright infringement or taking credit for any company's work

I was going to get a lot more complicated with burying the menuing system in more sub menus but decided it would be complete overkill and make a very easy to navigate menu structure more complicated than it needs to be. I still moved some things, and will be moving more. Also reverted to the bluehighway font instead of the default roboto

Feedback welcome..

Requirements:

TWRP Version 2.3.3.0

This will work with 2.4 but will lack any new menu features added in 2.4.. ie: If you're happy with your functionality as it is.. You can use it with 2.4..

A Nexus 10 (Believe me you never know)

Install:

Make a folder called "theme" inside your TWRP folder that should already be made at the root of your SDCard

Copy UI.zip into the theme folder

You're done

Uninstall:

Delete UI.zip

Version - 1.0 / 1.25.2013 / 1.36MB

To-do: Rearrange more of the menus to pull the buttons to the outer perimeter like on the main menu. Various other UI changes. A few more default images to replace.

Hi everyone, I installed the porting of CustoNexus rom on LG 4X HD and I encountered two problems:

1. The phone doesn't identify my simcard and in Settings it doesn't know my phone number

2. I can't store in my internal memory (When, for example, I download a file, it asks for a SD card)

I hope these questions don't seems too noob and congratulations for CustoNexus. :)

[LG Optimus 4X HD] ljubisa_sk:
Hydride0 I had this troubles with other LG phones and roms. (Sim problem) It is fixed by flashing with KDZ a newer firmware, try flashing v10h i then flash custo rom, for me this fixed the problem. And if you already are on V10H firmware, I can not help you.

p.s. I remember once I got problem with sim card on lg P500 where I had damaged Sim slot it had to be replaced by a new one. I hope U have not been removing the sim card a lot :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Hydride0:
Well, I'm on V10H and trying to test simcard on my old P500 (Yep, I've also had it lol) and opening the address book it works without problems, so I suppose the problem is the rom.
[HTC Wildfire S] BuffMcBigHuge:
Hey guys, I'll cut to the chase.

My girlfriend's HTC Wildfire S is a nightmare to work with! I have tried many different ROMs, including Marvel 4.2.1 CM10.1, Jelly King and CM10 and I simply screw up the phone every single time!

I have attempted to partition the SD Card using MiniTool Partition (it is a 2GB card), into 2, 1GB partitions, and then installed INT2EXT4+, but I'm always confused about the settings in Recovery. Selecting advanced->Partition SD Card is always a guess and check method. Do I even need to do this? I usually never get the space in my internal the way I expect it. Its literally random on whether I get proper internal space. Sometimes, the second partition disappears and the ROM doesn't even know it exists!

I usually follow the instructions found on CM10 thread:

The main problem is, GApps never flashes properly, meaning it flashes, but never appears in the ROM! The only way I can get GApps to work is if I flash the Cache version of the GApps, which causes huge problems with apps, and internal space, and not only that, every time I flash the GApps on the Cache Partition, I lose all my settings.

I ask that someone give me an exact method to properly partition, flash the ROM and flash GApps, such that I can always update the ROM without having to lose all my settings/apps every time. I would also like to know how I can back up my settings (including app placements in the Launcher, such that I can restore the backup).
[HTC Wildfire S] lokocool:
Odp: Flashing the WildfireS is a nightmare!

Did you make total wipe and format? Try the gaps from jellyking thread. It works 100% and try the script from that its better and faster then int2ext
[HTC Wildfire S] BuffMcBigHuge:
Just an update, I preformed the following tasks in this order:

1 Using CWM, I factory wiped everything

2 Parittioned the SDcard to 1GB and 256MB swap

2 Mounted the SDcard in CWM and transferred over JellyKing 1.3 and a2sdx

3 Flashed JellyKing, then a2sdx

4 Booted the phone, and restored the google account

5 Checked the internal memory, made sure it was what I expected, then install my old apps in Google Play.

Seems to work quite well, I posted a few issues I had with Jelly King in particular in this thread:

[HTC Wildfire S] izi501:
You can use Titanium Backup from Play Store for your backups.

I never had any problem with cache gapps ... working like a charm... But I really advice you not to update your ROM by flashing the zip over the ROM : personally I prefer making a full backup and restoring after the flash it is really safer and cleaner !

Titanium Backup files get wiped when I format my SD card. There is no point. I simply use the Google recovery to get my apps and data back... its substantial enough.

If you read carefully the tutorials about how to format your SD card, they all tell you that this process erases the SD card, and all advice you to make a full backup before formatting. After that, if you don't follow the instructions...

Hello,

I recently dropped my phone resulting in a cracked screen. I had replaced the screen myself. The phone still functions just fine with one minor problem. The glass screen isn't 100% touching the digitizer (at least from what I can tell). There is a gap between the digitizer and the replacement glass. I recall that when I was removing the cracked glass, there was a layer of adhesive I had removed because the glass shards were pretty stuck all over it. So does anyone know how to resolve this problem or where to buy that adhesive so there will be a perfect fit?

I've attached some images. One is at rest and you can probably see the dark circle in the middle of the screen.

The second is when I put some pressure on the screen, the *bubble* gets bigger. Any ideas?

Thanks,
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] C3cars:
Out of luck....

Unfortunately, you are out of luck. Your only option is to purchase the LCD/Digitizer/Glass preassembled. (Around $250)

The design used by Samsung, I believe weakens the glass on the Galaxy S3. Take for example the iPhone 5 which also utilizes Gorilla Glass 2, it is more durable than the S3.

I would think that people would band together and call for a class action law suite against Samsung to replace all screens free of charge for the first incident, or you can sell the phone and buy a quality phone.:D:highfive:

I have a few files that need to be thrown into the system folder, and I find myself doing the same thing every time after I flash an updated ROM, using Root Explorer to manually copy and paste the files from my SD.

/system/bin/chat

/system/xbin/rfcomm
