In all the videos I watched about rooting, or they said rooting didn't block OTAS or they didn't say anything about it. And I watched lots before risking my *** xD but thanks anyway I'll check on it.
[General Questions and Answers] Megaflop666:
...or maybe it was rooted with custom recovery... something like that. I haven't gotten an OTA update on a device in a long time. Do it all myself as it's released.

My question is if you're going to root; why worry about OTA's when there is a plethora of even better ROM's out there to choose from?

:confused:
[General Questions and Answers] FR0Z3NH0P3:
"Most of the time rooting your phone simply adds a couple files without changing any others, and an OTA will flash over just fine."

"Root does not stop OTA updates from happening"

This is what I got from Android Central.
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
its not like you froze the updater app,

you will likely get the notification and possibly even want to install, but it either wont be allowed to because of modified status, or will fail because modified.

best thing to do is find out what app(s) call the update and freeze it/them.
[General Questions and Answers] FR0Z3NH0P3:
So if an ota comes out and it doesn't let me install it I can just uninstall Xposed and Gravity Box, update my Nexus 5 and then install them again? I don't want a custom rom for now.
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
thats hit and miss, but it is becoming more common for what i said in the last comment to be true.

honestly, who just installs root and does nothing with it? amd if rooting tripped a modified flag, bye bye ota.
[General Questions and Answers] Megaflop666:
Android central. .. blah...

Otas don't really matter. If you do get them with root, you will lose root after each ota. With root and custom recovery you can do otas whenever you want once released, other than that, there's a whole bunch of custom roms/kernels and mods out there for your device.
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
that rarely works out. you usually have to flash back to clean stock for it to work.

i dont know what android central is smokin, but they must not visit forums much. root causes ota"'s to fail a lot.
[General Questions and Answers] D4Xma:
oh boy

oh boy that is a lot of non specific steps for a noob. thanks for the info though. so far I was able to root the device and dig up a root explorer to try and find the /efs directory they mention but for the life of me i swear its not there. should it matter that the thread was in reference to a samsung galaxy? if I don't find the folder or worse yet it really isn't there then I have no idea what to do.

thanks again!

Hello, I dont´t have enough posts to write in the right thread, but I'm curious about your experiences with the latest balajbi ROM based od VIBEUI 2.0 1433 stable - V5 I think. I flashed it successfully, but I wasn't able to go further then the laguage selection dialog after first boot. It looked differently than the usual google dialog I've ecounteret after flashing VIBEUI_V2.0_1429_baralajbi_V2 I'm running now.

I see nothing about anyone else having a similar issue. I would pm the Dev and in the meantime, do a backup and then try a clean wipe and flash again to see if it's something in your /system causing it.

Problem I see in your question is that (in my experience) the durable phones are usually crap and the awesome phones might as well be made out of glass. The higher end LG and Samsung phones are great devices but you'll need to get a rugged case of you're rough on phones like you say. Also, I'm a big fan of the Google nexus phones because they hold up and give you a good device to work with. Hope that helps a little. Good luck on your search.

Kogan *smartTV* OS changing

G'Day,

Just wondering about *smartTV* OS's and the potential to change/reinstall/strip out the junk...

Haven't found much luck or had enough gumption to try my own yet.

I've got a cheapie Kogan Smart TV (same as the Teac 42" Model at JbHifi for around $700 if you check close enough).

Just wondering if anyone has any direction of texts to read on the potential for hacking/rooting and *tinkering* around with any Smart TV's yet.

I've found some forum stuff - but not much yet - perhaps my terminology for searching is a little outta-whack?

Thanks for any info!

---------- Post added at 07:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 AM ----------

oooh - update to this is that I've dabbled and managed to add a *launcher* with another 'desktop' to load into - but it wasnt TV based and really didnt work well.

Annoying thing with this design of *smartTV* (compared for example with the LG Smart OS circa 2013 ver - not webOS) is that you NEED the Smart OS to load before you can use the channels/HDMI/Inputs.

You cannot bypass the OS to just *use* the TV as a monitor.....

Also its quite slow, when running XBMC and just changing the volume - the playback freezes for a fraction of a second.

quad core running only 2 cores

Hi everyone,

I am playing with my S5 G900i, rooted with chain fire, then loaded Phil touch recovery, omega rom with omega kernel and have been trying out battery doctor, rom toolbox, set cpu, cpu adjuster...

The (first) issue that I am having trouble finding an explanation for is the quad core cpu appears to have 2 cores constantly sleeping/offline (according to battery doctor/cpuid/cpu adjuster)

I initially (in ignorance) ran more than one of the aforementioned cpu apps at once, I am now only using cpu adjuster, however it appears that 2 cores remain persistently offline.

Is this normal? What is required to utilise all 4 cores?

The second (minor) question is has anyone reliably overclocked the snapdragon 801 in the S5 g900i?

Write a program that declares the following:

* a String variable named name

* an int variable named age

* a double variable named annualPay

Store your age, name, and desired annual income as literals in these variables. The program should display these values on the screen in a manner similar to the following: My name is Joe Mahoney, my age is 26 and I hope to earn $1,000,000.00 per year.
