As previous poster mentioned....some roms have the compression fixed...when looking through Rom features in threads look for "0 mms compression" or something similarly worded in the list, or just ask the developer....I'm currently using a 100% running Rom from another source that is stock looking with sense with tweaks ect that has it fixed and they sent full size... (don't wanna mention site/source here in case its not allowed unless otherwise told it's ok)....but yes it is a known issue/feature in jb and some devs have corrected it in their roms...hope that points you in the right direction...

Anyone here use this app? Its nice but confusing as hell to operate and the site doesn't give much insight.

Recording videos is easy enough but when you stop the recording is when it gets tricky. Its not as easy as 'save/discard' the video. You have to find it in the 'file' tab, then decide what to do with it. I long hold and click 'retain' but it disappears. I have tried numerous times to figure this thing out to no avail.

Does anyone at all have any insight to this or maybe even another comparable app that is easy enough to understand?

Thanks!

i've downloaded the app, but haven't had the chance to test it out yet (no car mount). it locked in the gps signal, so i tried running around the house to see if the mph/kph will change. Nope, nada. Will test inside the car soon.

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

I wish to install (and use) the application DME Excitor (corporate emails) but it is detecting the root in some way.

I have a i9100 device with cm9.1 (latest stable one) & siyah kernel 5.0.1.

I've also made sure (using ExTweaks) that the kernel is not re-rooting the device every boot.

I've tried to remove the root using "Hide my root" / "ExTweaks" / "SuperSU" - and others that say they will hide the root - so far with no success!!! :confused:

Can you please suggest how to prevent DME from detecting my root?

I really don't mind unrooting the device - but please do not suggest me to return to stock!

Any help will be highly appreciated! :good::good::good:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkraptor:
In my case it was a combination of:

1. Install SuperSU only on /data, not on /system - there's an option for that in SuperSU

2. Uncheck "Enable Superuser" in SuperSU settings

3. Reboot device
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drorshem:
Did you tried it with DME ?

By default, installing the SuperSU from the play store is in '/data' (you can later change that option in settings to be set on '/system')

Anyway, tried that, didn't worked.

Any help would be highly appreciated. :good:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkraptor:
I wouldn't have posted the solution above if I hadn't tried it first with the program in question (DME). Make sure there's no /system/app/Superuser.apk (by installing SuperSU / Superuser only on /data) and also make sure to uncheck the "Enable Superuser" option within SuperSU.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drorshem:
Hi,

First of all thanks for trying to help.

There's no any Superuser.apk in /system/app/ (that's the first thing I've checked).

And I did made sure to uncheck the "Enable Superuser" option within SuperSU.

Still doesn't work.

If you don't mind me asking, could you please provide me with more details on your firmware?

Which rom are you using (is it Cyanogenmod)?

Special kernel?

CWM ?

Any details would help.

And once again, thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkraptor:
Stock Samsung (XWLSS) firmware rooted via SuperSU CWM method, then uninstalled SuperSU via "Reinstall" option in SuperSU, then install SuperSU from the Play store, then uncheck the "Enable Superuser" option in SuperSU, then reboot. At this point DME will start and ask for credentials.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drorshem:
Thanks for the info.

I was afraid that you would note you're using a rooted stock firmware.

The thing is that by going back to stock rom, there's no need to root it and then unroot it to use the DME (simply use the stock firmware unrooted).

The first post on this thread was a question on how to use the DME on different rom than the stock one (such as CM).

After that being said, I would like to thank you for trying, but this didn't help me, since I wish to use the Cyanogenmod rom and DME together.

If you still have any suggestions on how to use the DME with a

non-stock rom

, I would be more than happy to hear.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkraptor:
I don't see how running CM is any different than running official. You should check that after disabling Superuser from within SuperSU that there is no "su" binary anywhere within the directories in the PATH variable (i.e. /system/bin or /system/xbin).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
Is dual booting a stock/cm setup possible, and would that serve as a "workaround"?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] IconRunner:
Just a few points I'd like to make that may clear up a few things.

When we get our phones on contract, we pay ~$200 or so for a $800 device. Cell companies subsidize our phones and don't want us buying at their low price then switching. From this point of view I could see it as a breach of contract, nothing more.

Also AFAIK, rooting your device is still perfectly fine. It's taking your ATT phone to, say, T-Mobile that's now illegal.

[If any of this information is incorrect, please post sources. The above is what I have gleaned from reading dozens of threads on this topic.]

Rooting the phone is NOT illegal.

Rooting the tablet is illegal.

How's about I pay $200 for the phone, sign and stay with provider for 2 years. After 2 years, isn't that my OWN phone? Why can't I unlock it and do whatever I want with it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] spacescreamer:
I think the title of the thread is poorly chosen.

1) The new law applies to phones purchased after January 26th 2013, hence phones purchased before this date are 100% okay to unlock.

2) Only applicable on US customers.

This law can be completely ignored by clients outside of the USA. (Apparently it is part of the DMCA ruling)

By my understanding, it is illegal to unlock your phone after 01/26 (or 27) regardless you bought the phone a year or 10 years ago, if you unlock it b4 the 26th, it's OK. It's not now.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
You can still legally get unlock codes from the carrier (AT&T for us). The law speaks about subsidized phones. It is legal to purchase an unlocked phone, usually for full retail price. Also, it is unclear whether a phone is still legally considered subsidized after your two year contract ends. I can't seem to find anything on that.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] spacescreamer:
That shouldnt be the case. I mean after the contract ends.. the company would have got the revenue back from the customer.

So that shouldnt stand in the way of getting it unlocked afterwards. If it does.. it ll be a very stupid 'boot hang' for the end customer :p

Btw, can non American citizens vote on that petition ? And if yes, Will it count ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jeboo:
This would be the modern equivalent of holding your phone # hostage. If this is how they interpret the law, it will get smacked down. And as with most stupid laws (DMCA being a big one), the illegality will be truly defined by prosecution/enforcement.

Saurik (the guy who develops Cydia for the iPhone) said it was if you bought the phone after the cutoff date.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] vash_h:
Although I do not reside in usa, however this doesn't seem fair.

The customer buys a phone on contract. He decodes to use it on other networks. The phone is subsidized by the network operator thus they do not want to loose u.

But let's say I bought the phone on contact and wanted to use it on other networks.. correct me if I'm wrong.. I still need to continue paying the network provider because there is a contract on it. So what's there to loose for the operator? I'm still paying fees as dispicted in the contract.

What if I'm going abroad.. I can't use a local sim card? And forced to use roaming rates?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
There are really two issues involved. For an individual to unlock their own phone for their own use, the penalty would be civil only, and the maximum fine is $2,500. On the other hand, to buy phones, unlock them and then resell them would be a criminal offence, with penalty of 500,000 or 5 years, or both for the first offense, 1,000,000 or 10 years for any additional offensees.

Several commentators feel that if the personal use issue comes to court, the court would likely rule that the law is incorrect and be thrown out. But that remains to be seen. At least one commentator stated that if the phone is subsidized, it will be illegal to unlock it regardless of the state of the contract. It will be interesting to see how the law is interpreted over time.

From what I've read, the carriers are more interested in preventing the resale of unlocked phones.

Agreed with 122ninjas. I had my SII unlocked officially through ATT. All I did was calling ATT and asked for the unlock code and the guy just flat out give it to me without even asking why.

It never hurt to ask. Especially when SIII is their main flagship for the Galaxy series and S IV soon to be coming out in April (supposedly).

AT&T did ask for your account info to verify that you device is "qualify" to be unlocked. Usually, if you have your phone for at least 90+ days, you are most likely qualified! I just called them couple weeks ago to get my unlock codes. :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Vfan23:
You can Google the number...but give me a few and I'll find it. Just make sure the phone has been out for at least 6 months. Also they'll run the IMEI number to "check" it out but I've never encountered a problem except with the Sony Ion which is a pain to unlock period.

I don't know if tablets are "illegal" to root, but they definitely haven't been stated as "legal" to root in the explicit stuff that the judge ruled previously. I just remember the judge made a really obscure comment about how making the rooting of tablets as "legal" may have wider implications than thought since "tablet" isn't well defined according to him.

As for unlocking, I think this situation only applies to phones that are subsidized by carriers. I think you basically can unlock your phone if you went to your carrier and paid them in full to get out of contract, but don't take my word for it since I'm no lawyer..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
No lawywr here either but I bought a SGS3 from a person on CL then when I saw this stupid law I called Att and got the unlock code for my new phone without question. The person I bought it from had used her upgrade to get it and then sold it. But I was able to get an unlock code no prob. Pretty much all you have to do is ask.

I wonder about all the companies (there is one by my house) that sole thing they do is repair phones and unlock them. How will this effect their company? From what I read in the law they could be charged with way more money than a private citizen if they are unlocking phones. Just makes me wonder
