Is it okay if I uninstall some system apps like phone stuff not used by my device from a Unified Build Rom? Because I'm using espressowifi which doesn't use gsm or phone calling stuff and it's unified for espresso3g and espressowifi.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Restore your device by flashing your ROM via recovery or flash your full stock firmware via PC and start over.

Then try to find the correct way to make your modification. Gotta be careful with fonts and theming.
[General Questions and Answers] tony332211:
Hmmm interesting, is there a way to just edit the file and not the restore the entire rom, if not then its fine, i might have trouble finding the rom haha, thanks though!
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
OK then, try adb pushing a copy of the original to return to an unmodified state and then find the correct modification.

Alrighty I'll copy it off my other zte phone and see if that works, what is the command so i know?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Connect the device to an adb terminal while booted even if it bootloops or try to connect while in recovery, then type:

adb devices then press enter and it should return a serial number. If it doesn't then you want connected.

To copy from the other device?

adb pull (path to the file you want to pull) (C:\path to where you want it on PC)

Or

To push the copy to its place?

adb push (C:\path to where you placed it on PC) (path to where it belongs on the device)

Need help with my galaxy j7 sm-j7109 installing gapps and custom recovery

ok i have chinese variant of samsung galaxy j7 sm-j7109.

as you all may know chinese handsets ussually dont come with any kind of google apps (gapps). so now i really need help to install gapps on my handset. i have rooted device and it is running on 5.1.1. it has its own stock recovery as no other custom recovery like twrp is available for this device so far. bootloader is unlocked but stock recovery is not installing any zip i.e gapps.zip or update.zip. cant install gapps from adb sideload because stock recovery says adb sideload is disabled.

so anybody can help me how to install gapps on this device, is there any way to install gapps with ODIN? or there is any other way i can install gapps?

Or may be someone could guide me to any thread on XDA dealing with TWRP for this device.

thanks

Why do apps that haven't been opened in a long time forget your login information? This seems to happen with just about any app if I haven't launched it in a month or so. Bank apps, Spotify, Pandora...whatever. If I use them regularly I never need to login, but if it's been a month or so, it forgets.

Is this an Android thing? Does Android wipe app data after x time inactive or something? Is an app-specific security feature? Are there any settings/app that would prevent this?

Thanks in advance.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Are you using any kind of cleaner apps such as task killers, RAM savers or Cleanmaster? Your cached and saved data should remain unless you're using something that wipes it, whether you are aware of or not and whether you mean to or not, so somewhere somehow you've got something set up that is wiping your data. Or it could be that the apps are auto updating, some apps have to log in again after updating.

---------- Post added at 01:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:52 AM ----------

Yes, you will need root to edit that unless you have a device that can use adb without root, in that case you can pull a copy of your build.prop and then open that file in a note editor then find a line that says either qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 and change the 0 to 1

or a line that says ro.show.navigationbar=yes and change the yes to no

Then save the edit and then adb push the edited build.prop back to the device where it belongs.

Hello everyone,

I purchased an 'ezTab NB-1460]' from a stall.

I was told it has a Samsung screen and hardware, but custom (China) made case and charger, hence cheap.

It worked OK for sometime, I added a few programs, downloaded stuff and it become very, very sluggish, so I would like to root it and update its software.

At the moment it has the following:

Android 4.0.4

Baseband: 1.5_201212

Kernel: 3.0.8 inet_paco at supportFAE #2 (whatever that means....)

Build No: A10_10_M1005D.20121215

I have a Galaxy note2 which I happily rooted, so I have a little knowledge of the process and I understand that I must have the proper software or risk to brick it:crying:

Can anyone help me please?:fingers-crossed:

Keep smiling

[General Questions and Answers] Lalssa:

How to have two roms

Step One: Flash a Second ROM

￼

Before you do anything, make a nandroid backup of your current ROM with ROM Manager or through your recovery module. If anything goes wrong, you can always restore from this backup to get things back to the way they were.

To set up BootManager, just download and install it from the Market, and start it up. You'll also want to grab a ROM of your choice and save the zip file on your SD card.

When you first start up BootManager, it'll prompt you to back up your boot.img, which you should do before installing any ROMs. Once you've done that, head to "Install ROMs". Pick the zip file from your SD card containing the ROM you want to flash, and check all three boxes: Wipe System, Wipe Data, and Wipe Cache. Let it do its thing (which will take awhile). When you're done, it will give you the option of booting into your new ROM. Hit Done; we aren't ready to boot into it just yet.

Step Two: Install Google Apps and Other ROM Add-Ons

Most ROMs don't come with Google's copyrighted apps, like Gmail, the Market, and others. This is a problem, since when you boot into your new ROM you need BootManager to function if you ever want to boot*out*of it, and it won't work unless you're signed into the Android Market. Luckily, there's an easy fix (note: if you know your ROM comes with Google Apps installed, you can skip this step).

Download the Google Apps zip file for the ROM you just installed and go back to BootManager. Hit Install ROMs. This time, pick Google Apps' zip file, and use the*same slot*that you used in step one. Leave all three "wipe" boxes unchecked this time. When it's done, booting into that slot will take you to the original ROM, but with the Google apps installed.

If you want to install a theme or other zip-based mod in the future, you can do that using this method too. Just remember: if you're flashing a new ROM, check all three "wipe" boxes, but if you're just installing an add-on to a ROM, don't check any of them.

Step Three: Switch Between ROMs

￼

To boot into one of your other ROMs, just head into BootManager and choose "Boot Installed ROM". It'll show you a list of ROMs you have installed on your device, and after choosing one of them it will reboot into that ROM. BootManager will come installed on each of your other ROMs as well, and as long as you're signed into the Android Market on that ROM, you can boot into it from there as well and switch back to your main ROM.

That's it! You can flash up to five ROMs at a time, so you'll never be bored by one measly operating system. Hit the link to download BootManager.

BootManager is a $2.99 download for Android 2.1 and up. See the Market page below for officially supported devices.

RE: N7000 rooting question

Hi Yall, I have tried my darndest to figure out this rooting thing but haven't gotten very far. I'm suffering from no memory on my Samsung Note, even with all sorts of free memory left! All I want to do is remove all the crap ware that sammy put on without asking.

Flashed Philz appropriate ROM for my device, but nothing has changed. The instructions I read on this site don't seem to go any further than that, but my phone is not yet rooted. What is left to do?

Cheers,

Mr. Horse

I followed the instructions in:

Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General > [STOCK ROMS] N7000 All stock ROMs + install + Root guide All at 1place,Latest 4.1.*

on how to root. Downloaded Odin, ROM, installed, got my green light. I thought that my phone would be rooted after that. At the end of those instructions, there's a link to ROOTING. Followed that, read the instructions, then skipped to the end (pg 2**), where everyone is saying, "just go get the latest PhilZ"

Went to PhilZ's thread, DL'd the latest, installed with Odin, got my Yellow Flag, and everything else is unchanged.

Upon checking with Titanium, my phone is still unrooted. Apparently I am just a big moron because I thought I was rooting my phone.

Spent the better part of a day reading on this forum and trying to follow instructions, would be eternally grateful if someone could point me in the direction of how to complete this circus show.

So i was just in the developers options menu on my note 2 turning on usb debugging in an attempt to get pdanet to tether to my pc via usb. Instead though i accidently selected one of the other options either above or below it....all i saw was something about 'viewing on multiple screens' or 'simultaneous screens' ... something along those lines. (wish i had more to offer). anyways, after the mistaken selection .... and i mean immediately after i pushed whatever i pushed .... the boot animation came on but froze shortly into it.

I removed the battery, waited, replaced, tried to power on normally, same outcome, stuck in boot animation.

so then i tried pulling the battery, replacing it, and attempted to boot into recovery.....still no luck...froze on boot ...

ive tried recovery and download ... nothing

How to bypass MAC filtering on android?

Okay! First of all my greetings to all the users who are helping to develop xda.

Question:

Is it possible to mask the media access control address (MAC address) of a phone and replace it with a proxy mac address so that you can bypass MAC-filtering. If so can some one please tell me how. If not can u give me an idea as to how this can be done via coding (if at all possible).

Details:

I know the MAC address is fused into the hardware by the manufacturer. I have seen different ways to bypass MAC filtering on Linux but I was hoping whether it was possible on Android. What I want to do is to clone the MAC address of a device which is allowed into a network and put that MAC onto my phone so that I am able to connect to the network without problems. I did find a script which automates this, but it is for Linux (Backtrack or Kali Linux). I have attached the code. Can somebody please help me convert this to Android code. Thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] Lalssa:
Try this

Got it from xda

Requirements*

1. Rooted Phone*

2. Busybox installed*

3. Mac Address Ghost app

4. A brain*------Disclaimer-------I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any questions before modifying your phone. YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you. Hard. A lot.*------Disclaimer-------About the requirements.*

1.You need to root your device.*In order to do that search Google with - insert your device's model number here- root. Or you can search XDA, which is where Google will probably lead you to.*

2.You need to have busybox installed. Most custom ROMS already have it installed. But if you don't have it installed this app here does an awesome job and doesn't require an internet connection. Just select the latest version and install it.

Follow*these instruction exactly or it won't work.*

1. Open the Mac Address Ghost app

2. Click on the wrench icon on the right.*

3. Click on add.*

4. Now fill in the blanks*The profile name doesn't matter.*In the 2nd blank put in wlan0 if you have a newer phone. If it doesn't work later, put in eth0 and it should work.*In the 3rd blank put in the mac address you want to change to. It will automatically capitalize and input colons.*

5. Now click OK and save.*

6. Close the app.*

7. Open your wifi settings.*

8. Long press on the network you want to connect to and click forget. If the option to forget doesn't show up its because it's already forgotten.

9. Open Mac Address Ghost again.*

10 . click on the big button and select your address from the list (probably the first one)*

11. Press the button that says "Classic"*

12. This is important. You will be prompted to give superuser permissions to Mac Address Ghost. If you have The old Superuser that looks like this**then check remember. If you have the new ClockworkMod superuser then check "This time only".*

13. the app will then open wifi settings where you can select the appropriate network to connect to.*The new mac address is temporary and only lasts till you turn wifi off or reboot.*To change your mac address again repeat process starting with step 7

Please report back with your success or failure. I do know that on gingerbread devices you don't have to forget the network every time. I have only tested this on Gingerbread and Jellybean so far.*Feel free to press the thanks button if I helped you.

As I said, even something you may not be aware of. Also, as I said, it could be that your apps updated.

Android keeps that data unless it is accidentally or unknowingly removed by a process on the device or by the user. There is something that you aren't aware of doing this on your device somewhere, this doesn't just "randomly" happen. Look deep and thoroughly at all settings, even if its something that you don't "think" could be doing it.
