Apps that should never be installed on system partition

Hi, I just wondered whether there are apps that should not be installed as a system app. Some how-to guides advised not to do this to antivirus programs, but what's the reason for that? :confused:

Which apps should never be installed on/moved to system partition?

I would like to move the Firefox browser, Google Play Services, Google Search and 'WPS Office' (an office suite) to the system partition. Are these apps likely to work as system apps or would it definitely mess up my system?

unrooted sprint s5, red triangle

not sure what I did. I have never seen this before. Cant find a thread that matches my experience so I will ask it here. Now, the only thing I have on this device that requires a rooted phone is Titanium Backup Pro. Don't ask me why i downloaded it to this device. Sooner or later I will be rooting this bugger. I experimented with an s2 and got it to work just fine. Anyways, I digress. I was trying to get rid of some glitches that I had acquired due to playing around with icon packs and various launchers and I reset my phone to factory settings. Ever since then, I have seen that dead little droid with the red triangle over it on my recovery menu. I only go to that menu now if I want to clear the cache. I have all the apps and such and i had previously before i did the factory reset and I do not see any thing that is working weird. Why am I seeing that red triangle and a dead droid?..What is wrong and how did it happen..Is this something I need to fix? Thanks again for taking the time to read this.

Galaxy Note N7000 to Chines

Device: Galaxy Note N7000 (International)

This phone has been passed to my wife as I have just got a Galaxy mega 6.3, my wife is Chinese, is it possible to convert this phone completely to Chinese, not just Chinese input, which we have put on the phone already.

She wants to have everything in Chinese, is there a ROM that can be flashed, or another method of basicly converting the phone to Chinese.

I understand how to root a phone etc., as I have rooted all the phones and tablets that we have except the Note, which was rooted but un-rooted and the basic ROM re-installed.

I have looked on the web to try and find a ROM to use, and the best method to 'convert' the phone, can anyone point me in the right direction for the best ROM and method to use.

Thanks

Galaxy A3 digitixer replacement

Hi all. I am looking for the correct place to ask or post a question. I have broken the top digitizer on my galaxy a3. The lcd is fine.

A new lcd screen and digitizer is £50. The digitizer is £7.

Has anybody replaced a galazy a3 digitizer? Will it actually separate from the lcd with a little heat and time and care.? Nothing to loose really

But pointless buying the part if it really cant be done.

thanks for any advice everyone.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
There are videos on YouTube that will show you what you need to know. The part should come with a kit that has the things you'll need. In addition to the kit, you'll need a heat gun or a very hot blow dryer.

You'll need to be I'm a very clean and dust free environment, if you get particles of dust between the glass and digitizer, you won't like the results.

You'll need to heat the glass, then use the tools in the kit to slide between the glass and digitizer little by little as you keep heating the glass and sliding the tools until they are separated.

Hi everyone,

since this is a noob friendly place, I thought I started my search here. I have no previous experience with rooting a phone. I wanted to root my galaxy S5 so I could remove some bloat-ware and install some apps I found that require root access.

According to (a lot) of google searches, rooting a S5 should be no problem. But I have not been able to succeed. I am hoping someone here can point me in the right direction or flat out confirm my noobness by telling me I have been doing the wrong thing.

some details:

phone: Samsung galaxy S5

Model: SM-G900F

Android version: 5.0

Baseband version: G900FXXU1POJ1

Buildnumber: LRX21T.G900FXXU1POK5

I have tried several approaches. one click upgrading through apps like Kingroot and Kingoroot. Trying to upgrade through the pc version of Kingoroot. and directly using Odin.

When using the pc version of Kingoroot, my phone stayed stuck in download mode. I got to the download mode screen and nothing happened.

When using Odin I flashed a recovery, but going into recovery mode on my phone did nothing. I would go into the standard Samsung/android recovery screen.

I don't know what I am doing wrong, or even if I am doing something wrong. Doing searches for rooting G900FXXU1POK5, I came across numerous contradicting statements. Some people claimed it could not be rooted while others claimed it could. I am hoping someone can help me out here because right now I have no idea what to do.

Oh you beauty. What a star you are. Now if only I can find the gold colour....
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
When you flash the recovery in Odin, you should make sure the autoreboot option is UNCHECKED, then after flashing, disconnect the device from PC, remove battery, replace battery, then use the button combination to boot to recovery.

If you boot to system or any other mode after flashing the recovery, you will lose that recovery and revert back to stock recovery like you did the first time. Make sure it boots to recovery immediately after flashing and you'll be fine. Then you should be able to do what you are doing with no problem.

This says you can root your firmware

Actually, if you read down it says.. Lcd and digitizer not included.

My top glass bit is smashed. Is that not the digitizer I'm trying to replace???

Is that not what they are selling??
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The glass is just a piece of glass, the digitizer is the actual digital display with touch function. If that is what you need, you can get that as one piece with the glass and digitizer already together, then all you should need to do is disassemble the device to remove the old glass and digitizer together then put the new one in and reassemble, no extra work or separating the glass or taking a chance getting dust between them. The combo is more expensive than what you posted, it will be around $100 US or more.

Here is a gold kit with just the glass, no digitizer

I'm searching for the glass+digitizer now, I'll be back.

So,I'm a bit lost. The phone works perfectly. The lcd is fine. Just there is a crack in the bit I touch on top where my finger swipes about. Is this just glass? Can I replace this?

Is this what the Amazon link sells?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yes, if the display and the touch function are not damaged then all you need is the replacement glass I linked.

You would only replace the digitizer part under the glass if it were broken/damaged.

The gold kit I linked is what you need, just make absolutely certain that you get NO dust trapped between the glass and digitizer, you'll get a bubble effect around the dust where the glass and digitizer won't be fully contacting each other and may even effect touch response. You need a clean and completely dust free room to do the replacement, the least bit of dust and moving air will ruin the whole process.

I accidentally drop my old Xperias S at the beach, I let it dry for 1 week before turning it on, it opened but the touch screen is not working anymore. What I need is to get my files on that phone, but when I connect my phone to computer the internal storage is there but its not accessible, I think it needs to unlock the screen first before I can access the internal storage thru my computer. There is no unlock pattern or password on my phone to unlock it I just need to swipe to unlock, but it cant help bcoz the screen is not working anymore.. is there any way to get my files on that phone?

Thank you very much in advance..

P.S sorry for my poor English..
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The galaxy devices with locked bootloaders are rootable via apps. The locked bootloader only prevents flashing TWRP, CF autoroot and stock rooted modified firmware, it doesn't prevent apps because they work from in system and never encounter the bootloader.

---------- Post added at 11:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 PM ----------

If your device is rooted then yes, you can flash TWRP for your specific model but if you have a locked bootloader you can't flash ANYTHING other than stock official firmware and the stock you flash can't be older than what you already have, you can only flash exactly what you have or newer firmware, you can't downgrade a locked bootloader.

If your device has a bootloader that can be unlocked then after unlocking you can flash any custom recovery or ROM that is specifically for your device.

Your device is an International model, as far as I know the International models do not have locked bootloaders, but it would be best for you to make sure just in case things have changed with the S7.

So i understand from that s7 bootloader that you can root but you cant flash? If so is not a big deal, you can always open the flashable zip take the apk or whatever is that you wanna flash and put it in the same folder and path like it was in the zip, i always do this cause like this i can save my apk, if it doesnt work i can just put it back, althought i dont have a galaxy s7 only next month i would like to know if the csc fratures that you find on the internet are avaible here to? A friend of mine has a galaxy s7 and there are so many features that i would like to turn on and off, like the call buton in the recent logs in dialer, so i can desactivate the swipe to call and so i can swipe from contacts to favorite from favorites to log and logs to dialer, I just wanna know from now, how can i root it?

I saw how to root, leave that part xD

And 1 more thing, couldn't i just root it with kingoroot? Is true the supersu apk is kinda lame but i figure out you can than download supersu and instalit as system, and than download a apk manager to delete the kingoroot apk or if you find it in system folders delete it your self xD

I have a question. I am evaluating an upgrade to a new phone with Marshmallow. In Marshmallow you can deny privileges to the apps, I'm interested in Whatsapp.

What happens if you deny contacts to Whatsapp?

1) can you continue chats started by someone else? like they send you a first message

2) can you start new chats by using the phone number? not necessarily from within whatsapp, also by using the list of recent calls from the Phone app.

Basically I don't want WA to get my contacts, and I don't want to use xprivacy because it's slow and requires xposed. Marshmallow could be the only option.
