[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dunphe:
Hello there,

I have never rooted any phone and need some advice, I have a galaxy note 2 n7100, at 4.1.2 Jelly bean. The main reason I want to root is so I can flash a custom rom (Cyanogemod 10.1 in this case) because I feel touchwizz lags (coming from iOS, getting into settings and moving around the phone feels sluggish).

So my questions are these:

1) How do I root it?

2) How do I install CyanogemMod

3) For those who have CyanogeMod, how is it compared to stock samsung?

All I want is the phone to be lag free (and by lag I mean the fps at 60 all the time).

Thanks for your time.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
Android will never be as smooth as ios, but the trade off is that Android truly multi tasks and ios doesn't. That's why it's always going to be slightly less smooth than an iPhone. It's also why we have a quad processor and they are still ok running a dual core.

In a nutshell - ios it's designed to run AN APP, while Android is designed to run APPS.

CM ain't much better on this beast phone, what helps though is using a third party launcher such as nova or apex and going into development options and turning off all the transition animations.

Just buy Nova launcher plus from play store it's very smooth and customizable compared to touchwiz and it supports spen also..:)

There are a ton of guides on here for rooting. And plenty of ROMs to choose from. I personally like Jelly Beans rom. I havent tried out CM though, because they technically arent supporting Exynos phones.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raffaelrogeski:
Hello everyone,

My girlfriend got a kindle fire hd 8.9 and it came with amazon version 8.4.1. I rooted and everything went well, few days later it got stuck in a boot loop ( i think it updated to 8.4.3 and maybe thats why ). All the information i found on boot loop recovery was for older versions and i really don't know what to do. I tried erasing cache and user data using this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2011126 but i always get stuck at the < waiting for device > part... Can i try this tutorial here or is it risky because of the update? Could please help me finding a way to get her kindle back?

I REALLY don't know what to do anymore, and i am from Brazil so i can't get a factory cable...

Its been stuck for almost a month already :(

Can someone please help me?

Does anyone know of any app that performs a similar function to MIUI's Guard mode?

What it basically does is, hide your SMS, Call Log, and Gallery photos until you input the pass-code. It does not delete everything, it just hides it until guard mode is disabled. I would like it for those situations, were I'm at work, or visiting my parents, ect... and I don't want someone to accidentally stumble upon something incriminating in my phone while using it.

EDIT: It doesn't not hide the apps, it hides the things in the apps. So for example: I could still send sms without seeing every other sms I have on my phone.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirBayard:
I was setting up and noticed an issue with my S4's internal memory. It is stating the standard 8.82 gigs of space, but only shows 2.77 gigs available. Total in use is is as follows:

Apps: 1.25 GB

Pics : 359 MB

Audio: 435 MB

Downloads: 30 MB

Misc: 315 MB

Available: 2.77 GB

The available bar is a huge bar at the top, so the bar is showing that it should have closer to 5 gigs than 3, but the phone itself is only recognizing 2.77 available. I attached a screenshot of what I am seeing, it's got me confused. I tried googling and looking through here, but there's about 1,000,000 links about the whole "I only have 8.82 gigs on my 16 GB device" which makes trying to find a different memory issue hard.

Any ideas on what could be causing this and a possible fix action?

Reflash stock rom again or do factory reset
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soliquidity:
I have the same problem, I have rooted then flashed CM unto my S4 but reverted to stock since i liked the sensors :D

No however i lost storage capacity. I have a grand total of 9.15 GB i can access... I have 504 MB in programs; 76 KB in the rest and a wooping 4.81 GB free... this is after i used KIES to flas stock and i have also tried factory reset and a formation in CWM recovery.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirBayard:
I was afraid that might be the solution. girlfriend's getting upset at me tinkering with my gadgets all the time, haha. Did a factory rest, no luck. Will attempt a reflash of the stock ROM tonight and report back. if it doesn't work I might try a custom ROM just to test and try and get more data.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirBayard:
Solved

I reflashed the stock firmware and had no luck, so I went into the extremes, booted into CWM and went to Mounts and Storage and just started formatting everything, starting with the storage card. Now showing the proper storage space. While searching for how to format my Internal storage to see if it would help, I also stumbled upon this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2274218

Specifically:

Which seems to also relate to the exact issue I was having, so I guess just using the search terms I was using wasn't working. I had already formatted my card before I checked to see if it was an issue with my nandroid backups being stored in the wrong place, though, so can't confirm for sure that was the issue, but it seems to describe it perfectly.

Thanks for the ideas and the assists in the matter, though, and hopefully if someone else comes to the S4 forums specifically with this problem it can help.

Find your JB firmware from sammobile.com and flash it via Odin.

But don't forget to make a full wipe, before flashing anything.

I like it so far but am afraid I may have to give up on it until it matures a bit more. I am experiencing two problems with it. 1. MMS messages are not going through (I even entered all the manual settings for MMS APN as suggested by developer). 2. When I try to send a picture, it rotates the image 90 degrees counter clockwise. As soon as I can get MMS working on AT&T w/Galaxy s4 I will update this post.

I love Textra texting app and for the most part it has been great, but as of recent I have not been able to send MMS anymore. I can do so via Hangouts, but not through Textra anymore.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] elementsevenx:
A simple word of advice for fellow Textra users. After you enter the MMS APN settings, reboot your phone and MMS will work again.

EDIT: When I first installed it, I couldn't get MMS to work same as you guys. So I uninstalled and went back to Hangouts. But I figured this was a long shot. I installed again, ran my APN settings in, and sent a MMS group text and it continually failed. I rebooted phone, and bam it resent successfully and all MMS afterwards went through.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Anton.Valleyman:
Well I thought I would relay MY experience today.

I'm selling my XDA2 after upgrading to the 2i but as it was on WM2003SE I thought it best to downgrade it to 1.72 - afterall this CAN be done and would make sense to give it someone else with the latest o2 update rather than custom ones.

I put the XDA2 in its cradle, checked country id issues and then proceeded with the upgrade. BANG....USB v1.01 screen comes up and it didn't shift for 6 HOURS!!! Nothing I did made any difference, until I came across someone's comment (not on here) saying the only thing they tried once they'd rebooted into bootloader mode was to do it on another PC. I'd initially tried to put WM2003SE on my own PC and had a very similar issue to this one, but when I tried at work it upgraded immediately. Luckily I had a spare laptop hanging around and thought s*d it, it can't do any harm!

IT WORKS!!! I don't know why it's blocked on my PC, and what's caused it...but the laptop worked first time. I would ask anyone in the future having these kinds of problems with the bootloader screen and the PC not updating / downgrading to try it on ANOTHER PC!!! Obviously I can't say for sure, but for me it's 2 / 2!

Hi Guys,

dont know where to start this thread, but i thought this could be the right place. If not, sorry for that ;)

Following problem

Today i flashed (clean) a new update of Xylon on my Nexus 4. Usually I use Swiftkey 4 for writing. Installed and set up SK4 like eveytime before. I also set SK4 to my standard keyboard. Some minutes later i wanted to write again and suddenly the aosp keyboard was on. Dont know why. Well.. changed again to SK4. But the whole thing started again. Does anyone know that problem or knows a solution?

But now theres the crazy thing! On my girlfriends phone (One S) happens the same thing today! (Flashed an update today, swiftkey4 as main keyboard.. open some text input and theres aosp keyboard now.. changed back to swiftkey and wrote... next time again aosp keyboard..)

I hope u know what i mean and u can help me!

Thanks so far

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eagletek:
Hello everybody,

I need help to build a device for medical purpose, the device is composed of a tablet and some external accessories.

The device needs to be in - what I understood is called - kiosk mode, i.e. only my app must be running on the tablet.

To do so, I built an app as launcher, made it the default one. Even so, is still possible to access the settings, the task manager and the phone?

I need to provide the user with the possibility to only use my app, and access the settings of Wifi, and to unlock the pin of the sim to use GPRS but not phone calls. How can I do this?

- I was thinking of modify the Settings apk (to leave only the entry I need)

- I was thinking to remove status bar and home buttons

- I do not know how to prevent phone calls, sms, etc

I have a samsung p3100, on which I installed the last version of cyanogenmod .

Any help is really appreciated.

thanks

Ok, so i bought the Moga Pro in the hopes of finally being able to play games without the frustration of using the screen. I downloaded the universal driver and it seems wonky on my One X, it either sometimes connects, somtimes says its searching, sometimes it says searching but pivot it running and MOST of the time it starts lagging the living crap out of my phone to the point i have to restart it, it makes everything on my home just either restart the launcher or take forever to load the icons.. i am not rooted since there is not method to root 3.18 on windows yet. Any ideas on how to stop this :/
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
never used the moga. PS3 controller + sixaxis works perfectly.

There's command line for windows in the 3.18 root thread somewhere and even if there wasn't, it takes little time to create a bootable linux usb stick to root with. I even wrote a guide.

My advice: return moga, root, use sixaxis + ps3 controller.

[HTC One X] xDaddle:
Hi,

So there seem to be quite a few tools and methods out there with which you can root your phone, but what if I really only want to root it and nothing else; my only goal is to use apps that require root access.

I've got Android 4.1.1, but I suppose it shouldn't matter that much. Will I be able to update to a newer version with root access though?

Forgot to add:

What will I need to back up and how do I transfer my settings and contacts? I don't care much for lost apps since I don't have many.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery. After that you make a nandroid backup and then install the superuser root script to give root acces in the rom.

Flash back the stock recovery and you are able to receive and install official ota's.
[HTC One X] xDaddle:
Is this all possible with this tool?

Now I don't want to act dumb or seem inept, but could you or someone else give me a more detailed description, maybe with a link or two?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Yes you can use that tool :thumbup:
[HTC One X] xDaddle:
Did you see my edit to the first post?

>>What will I need to back up and how do I transfer my settings and contacts? I don't care much for lost apps since I don't have many.

Can you tell me why I need to flash a custom recovery? Can't I 'just' root my phone as is and then leave it like that- rooted of course?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
You can use an app called carbon to make a backup. You need a custom recovery to install the super user script. A stock one is not capable if doing that. And you don't root a phone. Only its software !
[HTC One X] xDaddle:
With hassoons tool, how do I flash the stock ROM back on it? I can see no option in his thread...
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
The stock nandroid backup needs to be installed via the custom recovery. Not with hassons tool kit. You can in that case only flash back the stock boot.img from the stock backup.
[HTC One X] xDaddle:
Hi, I decided I wanted to go through with my plans to root the phone and already run into a problem:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=43066305&posted=1#post43066305

Most recentpost...

EDIT: Selected Power down on the phone because I was getting impatient and paranoid and then disconnected the phone. Everything seems fine so far. I closed the console and the message "Get Token ID.." popped up and then the console reopened, apparently searching for the phone... -_-

Oh well, maybe next time. Right now I want to take a break/try something else.

Can someone tell me why Windows always trys to install new drivers even when they already are installed? Happened when I used the programm- updating drivers blabla...
[HTC One X] xDaddle:
I'll try again here...

Just a question:

Can I definitely receive official android/sense/hwatever ota updates but still keep the root access?

What i've gathered so far is that I need to use hassoons tool and how to guide,but only the first post.

After that I will have a rooted stock ROM with ClockworkMod recovery, right?

Then I should do a nandroid backup WITH CWM (how is this done exactly? hold volume down +power button, then recovery?)

What will be backed up with the nandroid backup? How big will this be roughly and can I/should I put it on PC to free up some space?

Regardless from this backup, I only need the recovery.img, which in my case will be MY personal backed up STOCK recovery.img,is that correct?

How do I flash my stock recovery?

Edit:

Once I have the stock recovery again, will my phone still have root access? Is everything from then on -stock- except for root access?
