factory reset proof

I have been searching for a way to implement this and today i found this resource that you might find useful : (search) how to install any app as system app on android (addictivetips website) - sorry, i can't be allowed to post a link here.

I implemented one of those methods and i succeeded in making androidlost a system app in my phone. However, i havent tested whether it will still be useful after a factory reset due to loss of app settings (data).

Hello,

I was searching some guides here on the xda forums and a little bit on google and i came across this QuickRoot article on androidmuscle.com.

Can somebody confirm is this tool/method working? Thanks! :o

EDIT: Is this the same tool: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31137579
[HTC Desire X] vogonpoetlaureate:
Same tool. Though I personally would recommend using this tool instead, as it's actually built for and confirmed to be working on the Desire X.

You could also follow this tutorial by nloooo which will actually help you learn something about your phone and how it works as you root it step-by-step.
[HTC Desire X] dxarch:
Thank you! I will try this tool, but I would still like a confirmation is this tool working or not...

EDIT: Yes I know the tutorial by nloooo but knowing that there are some tools that can help me, I would rather use them... But still it's good to know how to "root" manually.
[HTC Desire X] vogonpoetlaureate:
It has worked for many people. A few people had problems mostly to do with not having installed the HTC drivers properly on their machine, but you can read through the forum thread and see for yourself what issues people faced. I think the general experience has been very positive.
[HTC Desire X] dxarch:
I'm confused now. hehehe Which flasher are you talking about the Quick Root one or the Hasoon2000's All-In-One Toolkit!? :o
[HTC Desire X] vogonpoetlaureate:
LOL, Hasoon's. I have no knowledge or experience of the Quick Root one.

[Nexus 4 General] Fordaz:
For UK users considering getting the Nexus 4 and are looking for the best Sim for it, I have to say Giffgaff has me really impressed.

£12 nets you 250 mins, unlimited texts and unlimited* internet (*there's a fair usage policy, but it's something like 30gb a week).

The Unlimited Data means you can really take advantage of the cloud storage options on the Nexus and save yourself £40 over the 16GB model (unless you download a ton of apps and games, you won't need the space).

If you store all your music on Google Music and stream when you need it, and upload all your videos and pictures to Dropbox or Google Drive and delete them from your phone, it leaves the whole 5.5gb of available space for apps.

Been using it all weekend and I'm incredibly impressed so far. I reckon this is what Google had in mind for the Nexus range.
[Nexus 4 General] speedyjay:
You may as well have gone with o2, seen as though GiffGaff use o2's satellites but with half of the "signal power" as it were. Full power being reserved for o2 customers of course lol
[Nexus 4 General] brilldoctor:
I have the 16gb on o2 and the hspa coverage is good. Three are also meant to be good.
[Nexus 4 General] nowster:
Beg pardon? Do you have any idea that what you just wrote is total gibberish, technically speaking?
[Nexus 4 General] AnonymousPenguin:
That's not physically possible and even if it were it would violate so much EU competition law no one would do it.
[Nexus 4 General] IINexusII:
im with Three. £15.90 gives me 600 mins, Unlimited (5000) texts, and Unlimited Internet, no fair use policy. Thats for 12 months and there is also a 1 month rolling option for the same price but a reduced number of mins to 300.
[Nexus 4 General] Jedipottsy:
Yeah with Google music, dropbox/box/drive I seen to store very little on my device. Got a lot of games installed, couple of big ones and I've not hit my limit yet.
[Nexus 4 General] Advis:
Can't vouch for giff gaff's data reception. I live in West Yorkshire and the signal is very variable. I get a lot of "server overloaded" messages in Opera on the first try. I am not aware of a "Fair Use Policy" but I thought that the market was generally moving away from that kind of marketing anyway.

Sent on carrier pigeon.
[Nexus 4 General] vickpick:
man... mobile plans are so cheap in england! not fair!
[Nexus 4 General] nikzDHD:
I'm with tmobile full monty, unlimited everything, only paying £21 a month but had £120 cashback and £31.50 cashback from car phone warehouse so about £8.38 a month :p expires in July though.

Satellites...you sure its not voodoo magic.
[Nexus 4 General] Smeghead_:
My brother is with GiffGaff, and has no complaints. It's certainly one of the cheapest unlimited internet plans available I think.
[Nexus 4 General] threeclaws:
The prices in here show what REAL capitalism is all about, our prices/plans in the US don't come close :(
[Nexus 4 General] Rizy7:
Im with Giffgaff and must say I always get good signal.. I usually opt for the only 2g network settings unless Im actually going to browse the internet. As soon as I switch off the 2g only setting. My network indicator will show H straight away.
[Nexus 4 General] PeteT:
I have used giffgaff and found the signal in West Yorkshire to be very poor. Its a shame really as the O2 network used to be really good.

The comment about giffgaff getting half the signal of O2 is utter c%^p.

I got onto the T-Mobile full monty plan, Unlimited everything (calls, text and web) for £16 a month with £100 cash back :highfive: I have asked what happened at the end of the contract and it goes up to £31 a month, however call up T-Mobile and they will honour the tariff for another year
[Nexus 4 General] m4r0v3r:
on giffgaff here, using the tenner a month package since I don't really need unlimited internet thanks to wifi on my bus, home, uni, train etc etc lol
[Nexus 4 General] calyxim:
But you live in a free country.

We have a queen and everything. She doesn't allow companies to fix prices. Very fascist for the companies.
[Nexus 4 General] Fordaz:
1: O2 Don't offer unlimited Data

2: O2's Cheapest Plan with a decent amount of data requires a 12 month contract (and it's still only 1GB a month).

3: Giffgaff uses O2's cell network. And they get the same connection as O2 customers (and all the other MVNOs who use O2's network).

4: Stop talking rubbish.
[Nexus 4 General] roughavoc:
Why are you bashing the guy? Ok he is not using the correct terms but the base of what he is saying is correct. They use O2's network and most likely will get the same reception, but do not get the same 'priority' that O2 users will get when it comes to using that network

If my father wasn't at work, I would ask him for the details as he works for O2 (not on their store sales team either..)
[Nexus 4 General] Fordaz:
O2 have a habit of telling customers that Giffgaff's data network is slower than their own (O2's Retentions Department is particularly bad at this) in order to retain or gain customers, however, the fact is that they use exactly the same network infrastructure (as do Tesco Mobile).

O2 have no "control" over Giffgaff's data traffic (they use different APNs for a start), so there's no "priority" system involved. Giffgaff simply lease bandwidth from O2 in the same way that Sky or TalkTalk lease bandwidth from BT for home ADSL.

So no, the base of what he's saying is actually wrong.

Here's a quick test I did with my giffgaff sim and my contract O2 sim, same phone, same location (best result out of 5 tests each)

giffgaff:

Ping: 102ms Download: 6293kbps Upload 2104kbps

O2:

Ping: 92ms Download: 6190kbps Upload 2307kbps

The difference is minimal
[Nexus 4 General] MrBelter:
Both my kids are on GiffGaff and i am on T-Mobile or EE of whatever the feck it is called now, i am also in west yorkshire and their GiffGaff data is much faster than mine.
[Nexus 4 General] denyo1977:
Giffgaff's parent company is actually Telefonica, so technically Giffgaff is O2.
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
I think what you meant to say is that they would potentially QoS data speeds for those partners below what an o2 customer would get. I would imagine that works have to be started in contracts with SLA etc..
[Nexus 4 General] kingcartwright:
I have to say that i've had terrible experience with GiffGaff the customer service is appalling the website always breaks and your unable to purchase goodbags the agents are a bunch on idots and you have to wait days for a reply.

I changed to Three UK about 2 and half months ago very impressed I also get 20MBS on my phone thanks to Three's DC-HSDPA and if you ever had a problem you can ring someone and get an immediate response, I love it on pay as you go spend £15 a month and get

+ All-in-One 15 Add-on.

All-you-can-eat data

300 minutes

3000 texts
[Nexus 4 General] Fordaz:
I've actually just had a look at Three. Rolling 1 month contract, £12.90 a month for 200 mins, unlimited texts and unlimited internet.

Seems I have DC-HSDPA activated here too.

Only concern I have is the spectrum. O2 use 3G900 which has better building penetration than Three's 3G2100 spectrum.

I'm gonna give it a try, can always port back if I have to.
[Nexus 4 General] Nathanation:
Satellites :eek: lol

[Nexus 4 General] DjeMBeY:
Can't agree with you. GG is cheap but slow and rubbish! No DC-HSPA yet! I've been using it couple years ago and they suspended my account after few weeks due to high data usage... WTH?? Unlimited data my as* :D

3UK rules! I'm getting speeds DL 25Mbps+ on truly Unlimited "The One plan" including tethering, 5000 3to3 minutes, 2000 any network minutes, 5000txt... Beat this! :D
[Nexus 4 General] desarenezitic:
I'm on Three's Essential Internet 200 sim only; £6.90 month gets me:

500MB data (I'm on wifi all day at work / home)

200 minutes

5,000 texts

That'll do me fine! Oh and I got £21.95 cash-back for signing up also :D

EDIT: The Nexus 4 is listed as being ready for their 'Ultrafast' network...
[Nexus 4 General] nellisere:
Currently on GiffGaff, £12 a month (fair use is 1GB an hour, 3GB a day) and the speeds are terrible! They used to be good (4Mbps down, 2Mbps up) but in the past few months have been about 1Mbps down and 0.06Mbps up (always between 0.06Mbps and 0.09Mbps) that's in the day, at night it's better, but with Three, I'm getting 10Mbps down and 2Mbps up! So moving to Three's Unlimited Internet 300 plan or something (300 mins, 5000 texts, AYCE data for £12.90) once my payback has come, in June :(
[Nexus 4 General] Stretlow:
:D

I've been with them for a year, had no problems other than a porting issue, get roughly 5 meg download at home 2 up and 3-4 down when at work.

Have had one usage warning but when I explained I was download a large game from the play store they were fine, they dont allow teathering thats what they're looking for.

If I ever did have a problem with the usage id go to three but I cant complain with giffgaff.

[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
Have my spare sim on Gg, had it from around 6 months after they started up. I got it to compare the speed with 3 who at the time I had been with for 2 yrs.

I can't fault the deals - though not as cheap as they were. But I soon went back to 3 as there is simply no comparison as far as data speeds go.

Atm 3 haven't officially rolled out their 'Ultrafast' network yet but I'm still hitting between 8-12Mbps download and 2-4 Mbps upload.

I personally am a heavy data user so 3 is the better network £12:90 gets me UNlimited data, 200 mins, 5000 txt and 2000 3to3 mins. (the 2000 3to3 mins are a Retention bonus)

Ps, This is on a 30 day rolling contract.

[Nexus 4 General] Fordaz:
The biggest issue with Three is indoor coverage. There's no point having "Ultrafast" data if you can't get a signal.

I'm trialling the rolling 30 day unlimited plan for £12.90 at the moment. But the signal in my house keeps dropping to 0.

Rang Three and they said they're working on upgrading the masts here for DC-HSDPA and it might be causing the issue. I'll give it a couple of weeks and see.

Anyone found any DC HSDPA on o2 or giffgaff
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
You must be unlucky, I've never had any signal issues - in 4 years in or outdoors. I switched from Orange cos I couldn't get a signal.

Every network has 'Not spots' but to base the entire on your experience is wrong.

[Nexus 4 General] Fordaz:
I've never noticed speeds above 6 or 7Mbps with O2/GG.

Apparently larger towns and cities have it.

The indoor coverage thing with Three is a known issue, and always has been. It's not just me. 3G2100 has terrible building penetration compared to 3G900. With O2 I get close enough to maximum signal indoors, Three hovers around 12%.

On the DC-HSDPA subject, I got this result on Three sitting at the metro station yesterday waiting for a train:

Actually faster than my home broadband. And quicker than my friends LTE Galaxy SIII on EE.
[Nexus 4 General] MattSkeet:
Same here... Been on giffgaff when I had galaxy nexus and had a problem with them in a way that signal bars were grey whilst screen was off which means that there was no push to the phone. Therefore I've decided to leave those idiots that didn't want to help me and switched to 3. Max I had on 3 is 22mbit gg was nowhere near that

So jealous of you britons and your fully covered island. Here in the states on TMobile only the largest of cities are covered. Elsewhere: airplane mode and wifi.

However, my jealousy fades when I see how much you gents pay for things.
[Nexus 4 General] nikzDHD:
Not fully covered mate there are places in London where signal is bad and data congestion makes it tedious to use 3G especially in certain parts of central London and rural areas of the UK.

Yup we do pay a lot more than you guys do for things big example being technology! Oh and your food portions and choice of food is on another level need to visit States!
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
Don't forget that our little island is covered only because it is so small - in terms of size, it would fit inside of 1 of your 52 states (Texas) that's the only reason :D

There's one thing we don't pay as much as you guys for - our top end phones are FREE on 2yr contracts whereas I believe in the states its around $200 say for a n⁴/sgs 3/note 2 etc.

Hate GiffGaff with a passion. No reliable data signal at home. No reliable data at work. It's all over the place, up and down, E and G signal wavering. Fylde coast. Utter, utter waste of money. Problem is, family and friend use it. It's truly awful. Never had more than 1mb download speed. So I pay a fiver a month for 500mb and only end up using it when I'm in town.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Madwand1:
My Infuse (ATT) has been freezing up and acting stupid for a very long time, so I figured a factory reset would fix it. Then I learned about rooting, which I plan to do. I don't know how long the warranty is, but I am sure it is over. Then I read about some backup program that remembers all your settings, so I like the sound of that. But if I'm resetting due to a jacked up fone, do I want to back it up? Should I just go for the reset, root it, set up everything like I want it, then back it up?

Should I root first, then do the reset? Should I root it, then reset it? If I wanna add a ROM later, should I back it up first and add the ROM last? I have insurance on the fone with ATT, will this negate the need for insurance? I mean, if it's rooted will my insurance be void as well?

Gonna do it tomorrow, I have the Kias mini and the superoneclick and a PC.

Thanks.

What I recommend is to follow beanstalk ROM.

There is instruction from gingerbread.

If your phone is passing hard, then you might want to format your internal SD card. Sync with your Google account so it can back up contracts and apps.

Ok, I don't know what "follow beanstalk ROM" means.

I don't know what "instruction from gingerbread" means.

I don't know what "passing hard" means.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] FauxAffliction:
I think he's referring to this instruction list.(read all of the first post) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1776129

To answer some of your other questions, the backup program I think you're talking about is called Titanium Backup(you need root to use though), I would recommend following the tutorial in the link I posted. If you root your phone; yes it will void your warranty but if you ever need to take your phone back you can reset something that's called a flash counter that will make your rooting it untraceable. If you still don't understand then let me know and I'll try to help you out further...
