permanent root is just flashing superuser and having a custom recovery, so

there are many ways to flash a recovery, i found this one the easiest

Go to Android Market and install ROM Manager.

Open ROM Manager and select flash Clockwork Mod

Recovery.

download super user from here and place it on ur sd card

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=670828&d=1311991644

uncheck fastboot in settings-power

turn off ur phone

start bootloader by holding power and volume down

Select "install zip from sdcard"

Then select "Choose zip from sdcard"

Then select "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip" it must be the superuser file name

Then select "Yes - install su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip"

to confirm

go back

reboot.

You're rooted!

You can also use hassoon 2000 sensation 4g tool to flash a recovrey, its located in the sensation android developpement.

hit thanks if i heped u :p

You are already s-off.

You do not need this thread.

I already posted an answer for you in ARHD

[HTC Sensation] dany xe:
I never used 4ext recovery, in cwm i do: wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format data, format cache, format system, and then i flash rom, btw do a nandroud backup, in case stg wrong happens, u'll b always able to restore current software
[HTC Sensation] bashirchak:
thankyou sir for the response,plz link me to there....

Hi,

Format all partitions except sd card in 4 EXT recovery does a better job.

why is it saying format all partitions and then again put the super wipe on sd card to.wipe...is it imp.to do superwipe after I.format all partitions.

Hi,

Just Format all partitions except sd card in 4 EXT.

That is all you need .

DO NOT SUPERWIPE.

Stuck in in 1st step, device rooting, I think!

Hi there, thanks a lot for taking the efforts. I'm using this method cause I have an unlocked bootloader, unrooted and SON sensation with Hboot 1.27 and motherboard was changed by support.

I downloaded your Virtual machine and followed your code lines up to the point were it says ( Now your device is rooted ). That when I try running the ./ControlBear command, Terminal says

"Starting up....

Searching device.....

Found device ..... Detected pyramid board

but device has no root!!

Ensure that root permission is given to to shell in your SU application"

Terminal privilege is root@linux: /home/user/Desktop/ControlBear-linux# I guess that terminal is good!

I have my Phone in usb debugging mode and Fast boot is off.

Please let me know if i'm missing anything!

Thanks alot
[HTC Sensation] KernelDev101:
You shall need to root your device following this method below in my virtual machine ( DO THESE COMMANDS IN MY LINUX VIRTUAL MACHINE OR WINDOWS )

adb shell mv /data/local/tmp /data/local/tmp.orig

adb shell ln -s /data /data/local/tmp

adb reboot

adb shell "echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop"

adb reboot

Make sure if you do these commands in windows that after your phones done you re connect it back to the virtual machine :)
[HTC Sensation] coolman85:
Thanks for your reply. I did exactly this part of the code from linux while phone was connected to the VM but it seems like it's not taking it. It's not because when I get to the .\ControlBear command it gave me the message I posted in my previous comment.

Now I wonder if there's a timing issue between entering those commands? specially the rebooting phase?

Thanks for your patience:)

Linux-Ubuntu File Is Missing

Hi there, I'm desperate to get my phone sorted out.. I installed Virtual Box but now find the Linux file on Dropbox link is missing. What can I do? I have been trying this for a few weeks now and i'm exhausted. I've rooted my Android phone before, but this is a newer model. I thought I would have less trouble this time but it seems it's much harder. I know others here have managed it cos I've read the comments. I have Android 4.0.3 and Sense 3.6, HBoot 1.29 on Sensation XE with Beats Audio. I'm sure it can be done, but I've honestly tried following the guides and threads and just go round in circles here. :(

P.S. Been trying to do this on my Win 8 laptop, but also Win XP 32 and 64 bit dual boot PC (which I built myself). I don't like feeling like a noob but there are just too many instructions and things unclear. I can't work it out.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] ednap:
I am looking at getting a GPS module for use with my XDA II and want navigation software for when I return to Australia in a few months time.

I'm currently in Sydney on holiday and came across the Navman GPS 4400 Wireless receiver with Australian navigation software for AUD$849

I'm new to the idea of PPC GPS having previously used a stand alone GPS so I have a few questions to anyone currently using the Navman GPS 4400 with XDA II Australian software combination.

Is AUD$849 a good price?

Does it work well with the XDA II?

If I use a BT headset can I use the BT GPS at the same time?

Is the map coverage good, fair or poor?

Thanks.

Ed
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] Camstech:
NAVMAN and Upgrade ROM

I have used the 4400 with an XDA II in Europe, but I'm afraid that after a recent upgrade to the new O2 Asia 1.60ROM I have lost the functionailty completely. TOWA's BTTools 1.02, which worked well with the 1.52 ROM will not work with the upgraded ROM, nor will the BTTools 1.1. I can only set COM7 on the profile, which is precisely the COM port not available on the NAVMAN.

I could not use the BT Headset with the BT GPS at the same time.

As far as map coverage in Australia, I have seen it and it appears to be quite good.

I paid AU$1080 for the Euro maps so your price looks good, but check out the LeadTek GPS unit as well. It seems to have the edge over the 4400 as far as low strength areas are concerned.

Cheers
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] Camstech:
Fixed, of all the simple things

After yesterday's post, a friend and I had another try to get things working between the XDAII and the 4400, and succeeded.

Firstly make sure you unbond all other Bluetooth devices first so that the NAVMAN gets first pick of the ports.

Install "BTTools", the new 1.1 versions does work. When you bond with the 4400 you will still need to run the "enablechar.exe" program. You will be offered port 7 on TOWA's connect page.

When you open the NAVMAN software, select port 7, 57600 speed.

Here is a little tip that I overlooked. There will be a red box just to the left of the port selection box. If you tap that it opens the port and turns green!!!. How NAVMAN expect you to just find that is amazing as it is not labelled at all. Stupid Software design. (or possibly stupid operator :oops: ).

Anyway, happy driving when you get back.

About the only downside of a phone pda combo is that when the phone rings you lose your GPS screen, usually at a critical turn.

I have found a S Voice apk that works with the long pressing central button of the original Samsung in-ear headphones, instead of Google Now.

Here

you can find the Apk, simply install like a normal application.

Tested on Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100, but I think it's working fine also on all GS3 and Note 2. :laugh:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mithrandir007:
On the Galaxy SIII (i9300 at least), there is a 1 to 3 seconds lag when launching either the Phone or Contacts.

I managed to find a workaround (installing JKay framework which add the option of keeping Phone and Contacts in memory so that it only has to load it once, then it's fast each time we launch it again).

But I'd like to know if anyone who has the phone could check if that still happens on the S4?

I'm guessing the problem is lesser since it now has 2Gb of RAM (so it won't get removed from RAM so often), but is it still taking a while to load when launching contacts for the first time after a boot?

Thanks !
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lanwarrior:
Plus one on this.

I have the Samsung Note 1 and the contacts and phone apps also lags heavily.

I think its just the way Samsung develop the app
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frostfree:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CooLC1:
Hi all.

I searched this site for examples of how to create an app that would pause during the boot process and allow the user to interact with the system then continue. I want to modify my custom ROM's normal boot process. If I could get a shell script to display on the console that would be great!

Anyway this is what I want to do...

For example:

- Power on

- Load Kernel

- init -> init.rc -> runs "myApplication"

- Boot process halts and waits for the user to enter some data.

- "myApplication" exits and the boot process continues.

It seems simple but I cant seem to figure out how to create a screen that would display. I tried to read the recovery.c (from the ASOP source code) application for assistance but since I'm not a seasoned C++ programmer its very slow moving. Plus recovery.c is doing too much and I can see/or figure out what I need to do first.

If someone knows of a website or have a sample app I could start from that would be great.

All I need to know how to do is;

Create an app that interacts with the screen during boot phase. I just need an example of how to take over the screen and print simple text to the screen like "Hello World". I want to build something similar to the recovery.c application.

I think I can figure out how to use the buttons later. ( maybe)

I think I may need the following files in the ASOP_SOURCE/bootable/recovery/ directory ; minui/*, screen_ui.c and ui.c

Thanks

[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] ZeroInfinity:
Hello everyone, I'm proud to present my port of S-Force Front Surround 3D from the Xperia Tablet Z Firmware ;)

S-Force is basically a audio effect only for speaker (Like xLOUD and ClearPhase) and basically, what it does is it "Virtually reproduce 3D sound naturally and realistically. THIS EFFECT IS ONLY FOR INTERNAL SPEAKER LIKE XLOUD AND CLEARPHASE!!!

It should work on all Xperia based firmware roms (NOT AOSP! because you guys don't have walkman)

It should be system wide for speaker like xLOUD and ClearPhase

Please don't ask if it works for a specific rom, try before asking.

Download (Reuploaded): http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22926241640219118

If you would like to add this to your rom/mod, please ask for my permission/notify me via PM before including it, thanks :)

PureXAudio will have this addon in v13 so if you guys can't wait, you may install this over PureXAudio :)

HOW TO INSTALL:

1) download and move to your storage

2) reboot in recovery

3) flash like any other mod

4) wipe cache and dalvik cache (IF YOU ARE LOCKED BOOTLOADER, ONLY WIPE DALVIK!!!)

ADD THIS LINE AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR BUILD.PROP!!

(WARNING: Large pictures in hide tags)

After installing, your sound enhancements should have "S-FORCE" option under Speaker Settings:

And in Settings > Sound, you should also have "S-FORCE" option in there:

When the effect is enabled, your speaker will have a lower volume (Even with xLOUD enabled) but you should hear a surround sound improvement/audio difference in the speakers ;)

I would try it myself but I am still learning how my xz works.

increasing volume manually by system file will cause major noise increase and distortions

I already knew it is impossible to have any kind of 3D effect coming from a single speaker, but anyway i tested this and realized that... i was right.

There is some change in the sound, it comes with less volume and with less bass, nothing remotely similar to a 3D effect, but some people may like it.

well, I secretly made my own rom based on Tablet Z look-alike but i haven't released it yet.
