Tutorial #1 - What¨s Root, How to Root, Let¨s Root

3. Rooting

​

1. What is Rooting and WHY should you root

​

:confused:

Ok so rooting is basicly adding root acces to Android (so you can edit, delete, copy system files). Let's put it this way: Remember when you were a kid, some parents (luckily mine don't) put your user the normal type so when you want to install something, game or program you would be asked for Administrator password that allows you to modify system. That's exatcly what rooting is - unlocking your device.

2. Pros/Cons

:DPros:

If your carrier blocks Wi-Fi tethering now you can use it

Root apps on Play store

Custom boot animations

Custom kernels, recoveries

(better) use of Custom Rom

:(Cons:

It voids your warranty BUT you can unroot your device there's lots of apps for that on Play store

and DO NOT forget to replace custom rom with stock and custom recovery with stock

3.How to root (remember I am using GT-I9070 find your own resources)

This is the only tutorial that varies from phone to phone

1. Take a trip to here: http://www.androidrooting.com and search for your device and current

version of android! If you don't find your device there ask uncle Google

2. Now I personally got root.zip. If you get this kinda package you are lucky. Just put it on your ext.sdcard (later you will be able to do this from

internal). Reboot in recovery (search for recovery combo) usually you have to press Vol. UP + Home + Power until phone vibrates. Than just

choose install-zip – install zip from external sd card – select your root.zip and flash it once done reboot and thats it.

3. To make sure that Root has succeeded go into menu and check for app SuperUser or SuperSU or SU or download root checker from Play Store.

4. Now take a snack and ENJOY your Rooted phone

Now you can get to root by other way – by Odin. In that case:

1. Open Odin (Download below)

2. Put yor device into DOWNLOAD MODE a.k.a ODIN MODE (Usually Vol.Down + Home + Power) not RECOVERY.

3. Connect your device

4. Box with ID:COM# should pop up blue or yellow

5. Click box next to PDA in Odin and select downloaded file should be tar or md5

6. During the proces device might reboot into recovery to instal SuperUser

7. Click start and WAIT UNTIL YOU GET PASS IN ODIN THAN YOU CAN DISCONECT YOUR DEVICE.

8. To check if you are rooted search for SuperUser or SuperSU or SU in app drawer(MENU).

9. ?????

10. DONE, Enjoy

Hi, I need help about Internet Pass-through.

I connenect my phone on PC, and select option Internet Pass-through. I got internet on my phone, but it's like I got limited access. I can't open apps like Play Store, or Facebook, YouTube...

Can somebody halp me?
[HTC Desire X] knielen:
I can't help you with this problem. But isn't it possible to get a wifi connection at your home? Shouldn't be that expensive and a lot easier.

Hello,

I have the Cyanogenmod 10.1 Nightly but i dont know which Kernel i should use.

which is the best Kernel for Cyanogenmod 10.1 Nightly? or should i use the default?

do you have tips what you should adjust?.... battery,perfomance or other things?

I want to make the best of my S3 !!!

Thanks !!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] am2354:
Ok, so I am Rooted and downloaded Titanium Pro, and I thought my prayers were answered. I still can't find a way to move those useless apps that come standard on my Galaxy S4 to my SD card. I have done a lot of reading, and researched those programs suggested to find poor reviews. Is there a way to move those stubborn apps over to my SD Card? Thank you.

AM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] najaboy:
Those are system apps. Even if you move them, it will not gain you any usable space. Moving them would be pointless.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] am2354:
And this is why I joined this forum, because of the knowledge I get from people who know, because I certainly don't know. So, can you elaborate why moving the installed apps over to the SD wouldn't be freeing up the internal memory? Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] najaboy:
They reside on the system partition, which is a fixed size. It is reserved space and does not decease in size as items are deleted from it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] am2354:
I am feeling really bad. I spent so much time accomplishing rooting on my phone for this sole purpose.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RJV3:
Don't. Your main issue is the limited space you have on internal storage which is everyone's gripe. But there are workarounds.

1. Since you are rooted, try foldermount. It moves app data to the sd card so although the app is installed on internal memory, all the data is on the sd card.

2. Darksideer rom is a fully flashable me7 build that uses our mdk kernel and will not break root. You get all the benefits without sacrificing root or recovery.

Check out both options when searching the forums.

Dear mfatfet:

you are my hero, the person I was looking for, you are so smart and know so much about this, that you should be put on a museum, and let others who don't want to go on experiments or have so much time to go throught complex processes do simple things. At least this in another forum has already helped some people, that, of course are not as smart as you.

[One (M7) Accessories] Neelesh35:
Hey all,

The ONE gets too hot... Solved :good:

The ONE charges slowly... Solved :good:

My HTC ONE was charging very VERY slowly since I got it... And it was actually discharging slowly if plugged in and using navigation in the car..

Now, I don't have the original HTC car charger and its a stupid amount to pay for that...

I've used over a dozen of cables and chargers but none of them would charge properly...

Ordered this earlier this week and it got delivered today

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=321159008835&ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:C:GB:3160

Looks decent, and I would highly recommend it for anyone having charging problems with universal USB chargers.

Just tested it, I fired up Waze (which I usually use), Mobile Data, GPS, Skype in background and anything that would run in the background using as much power as it can :D.... Streaming Music over Bluetooth.. Screen was ON all the time with MAX brightness

My ONE slowly (really slowly) went from 53% to 54% ..:laugh::laugh:

Regarding ROM etc (if it makes any difference) , I'm running Viper One with ElementalX Kernel. 384Mhz Min and 1674 Max. Undervolted to -50mV & Fastcharge ... plus an Air Vent mounted phone holder for cooling features :D .. The ONE gets too hot

I can finally use the ONE as a proper nav, without having to worry about switching the screen off every now and then...
[One (M7) Accessories] Mpro747:
Sounds good, and in what charger you use?
[One (M7) Accessories] Kraize:
Yet again, I must explain that cables do not differ if they are similar quality wise. All certified cables should be 24+ AWG btw. Don't be fooled by things like "fast charging." It mostly depends on the charger you're using. (Unless of course, you bought a crappy cable). Also should add that a 4 pin vs a 5 pin cable also creates a difference in charging time.
[One (M7) Accessories] rancor22:
That cable shorts the data lines to trick the phone into thinking it is connecting to a compatible charger. Any charger that supply 5V and >=1A should be fine with that cable. I would NEVER use the cable on a computer as the phone will try to pull as much as if it was on a wall charger some where around 750mA - 1A.
[One (M7) Accessories] Kraize:
Which in turn would probably fry all your usb ports.
[One (M7) Accessories] rancor22:
Yep, might not fry a powered USB 3.0 port but don't try this.
[One (M7) Accessories] Neelesh35:
Many people (inc me) do not know that there are 24 AWG cable, and would use a stupid standard micro usb cable in to charge the phone in vain :( ...

A standard USB port mounted on Cig lighter socket. It does the job right now

:eek::eek:
[One (M7) Accessories] winbytrick:
you guys might wanna look at this sweet babe, you will know exactly how many hours to fully charge ur HTC One :silly:

http://www.thepowerpot.com/solar-power-optimized-practical-meter
[One (M7) Accessories] Neelesh35:
hmm interesting, but if the 24awg cable has a potential of frying your usb port, guess what this one will do
[One (M7) Accessories] rancor22:
The 24AWG wire used in the cable does nothing for helping your phone charge faster, its the fact that the two data lines are shorted in the cable. This tells the device that it is connected to a dedicated charger, even if it is not, and that it can pull however much current it needs.
[One (M7) Accessories] Vincent Law:
Why would you buy a cable for this? Get the right charger in the first place and you wouldn't have this issue. Actual proper phone chargers already short the data pins (in fact, I'm surprised you found one that doesn't). Now you have a cable that cannot be used for anything other than charging.

Also, to whoever said this would fry USB ports: no, it wouldn't. Even with shorted data pins, the host machine still won't put any more power out than it is specified to. In fact, this means that using this cable, connected to a computer, would result in it charging SLOWER than if you allowed the phone to negotiate with the computer for faster charging.
[One (M7) Accessories] rancor22:
Actual computers don't do a good job of limiting current they assume the device will satay within USB spec.
[One (M7) Accessories] Vincent Law:
That couldn't be further from the truth. Windows even keeps track of the actual loads (it'll tell you when your USB host reports it cannot provide more power). The host decides how much power to provide the device anyway, it's not up to the device. If the device asks for 50 amps, the PC isn't going to try and serve that up. That would be insane and dangerous.

What it WILL do is start with an initial very low current (like 20mA IIRC). The device has its USB client chip powered by this, and uses it to negotiate. The device will then request however much current it needs. However, USB 2.0 spec states that the maximum is 500mA. The device can request more, but it by no means may expect to receive it. The PC may respond and say that it will only serve the maximum. Often it will respond by saying it will provide as much as it is capable (for some laptops and such, this could be as low as 500-600mA). The device must then deal with what it is given (it can use less, but it CANNOT draw more). Note that host devices can actually provide as little as 100mA if available power is limited.

However, many PCs nowadays are designed for charging, and provide over a full amp. They will do so during negotiation. If you use a charge only cable, you're gambling that the PC will go into a high current (AKA "take as much as we can offer") mode. Not all will do so. Some will follow the actual spec, and force the device into a lower power (100mA max, IIRC) current state, leaving you with basically no charging capability.
[One (M7) Accessories] rancor22:
Windows keeps a record of what devices have requested, not what they are currently drawing. When you use the cable you are bypassing all if this( the software/embedded enumeration and negotiation for power) and then you are just relying on the hardware current limits. In an inexpensive system and possible even expensive ones the hardware probably only as one current limit if it has one at all. Lets say the USB protection IC as a current limit of 1A. A device that is connected with the charging cable is just going to pull current as if its hooked up to a wall adapter for this example let just say the phone draws 900mA. The dangerous part about this is that the computer has no idea this is going on, if the device doesn't enumerate the computer will never know its drawing current unless it trips an overcurrent limit.
[One (M7) Accessories] Vincent Law:
Your entire post runs on the assumption that the USB host, for some reason, would have no way of controlling its power output other than an overcurrent limiter. Not only is this NOT what the USB spec states, but it's also so hilariously dangerous that if it were true, you'd be hearing about it all the time. It'd mean you could create a device that instantly pulls maximum current from the system, frying any system without an adequate overcurrent limiter.
[One (M7) Accessories] rancor22:
I am not disagreeing with you that hosts can control and meter power but it does that by assuming the end device will also follow usb spec and is listening to what it is saying. So yes what I am saying is that for a device that does not follow USB spec and does not enumerate the only current control it receives is a hardware current limit. I don't know the whole usb spec well I know battery charging specifications so if this is completely wrong can you point me to the part of the USB specifications where it says the host must limit current draw. In a perfect system the hardware current limit will change as the host specifies how much power the device is allowed to draw, but more likely the protection IC(s) are just there in the case of a short, esd, or a device that is supplying power to the host (reverse current).

Bought a HTC CC-C200 some time ago for my HTC Desire where it did a nice job. Now with the One I encounter the problem that it discharges when being used (navi, scanning, ...).

Is there any newer original car charging cable that I can use? I do not want any 3rd party china cables
[One (M7) Accessories] RebelShadow:
I just bought a RocketFish USB car charger and cable From BestBuy. It charges wicked fast, even when using navi and or streaming. I believe is is 10 watts and 2.1 amp output. That adapter will probably fix ya up, I used to have the same problem but not any more :cool:

I bought a S3 mini recently however the samsung UI is horrible its so sluggish and laggy you won't believe it you can't even open a web browser properly without some kind of lag.

My friend then told me you cannot install any custom roms like cyanogen MOD for my S3 mini because there is a L word at the end of it.

L meaning latin America.

Man I didn't know they had different versions of this thing all the S3 mini looks the same. And I got a good deal on it so I went ahead and bought it.

Its true its a little small at 4 inches but after a while I got used to it. I like it a lot and the shape and heavy feel of it is quite nice.

But wish I could get rid of this bloatware and samsung rom and put in a light and fast custom ROM.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tys0n:
NOT TRUE!

You can flash TWRP or CWM Recovery in Odin and then flash CM, PAC or AOKP even in i8190L.

Those rom's doesn't change your baseband, and as long you're using a i8190L baseband you'll be fine :)

(You posted in wrong section. It should have been Q&A)
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] john5220:
WOW so you are saying I am not screwed? the L don't mean anything and I can actually use all these S3 Mini Roms on my L version? WTF

I taught you needed some sort of Ported ROM for the L version?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macrolex:
Not only CyanogenMod, but also PAC ROM, Ilussion ROM, AOKP ROM.

The ones that didn't work form me were Paranoid Android by Oliver, PAC MAN ROM and CM10.1 by Oliver.

Install this S3 Mini Toolkit and install the recoverys and root and everything you need, after, download any rom that you desire, and just flash it through the recovery.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] john5220:
WOW thanks a lot man

One thing the thread said you need a specific model number for the roms meaning cyanogem mod designed for L versions else it will brick

Its best I do like everyone else and leave the stock rom and don't interfere with this phone. Cause if something happens I will be wishing I didn't interfere with it.

Doubt any rom can solve android lag anyways. Thats just how android is, only windows phone and ios are lag free.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youStolemylaptop:
Root your phone, and install Dmodv6, its not laggy at all.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benzonat0r:
Bahahahaha that's the stupidest thing I ever heard man.

Just flash AOKP from maclaw.pl and get it over with.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] john5220:
ok I did it

I installed this ROM

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2400402

was this a good fast rom?

anything else faster?

I noticed its really fast. And the uploader says it works on L version

I can't believe the massive difference it has had. so glad I am rid of this nasty slow ass samsung original rom
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benzonat0r:
I'm using AOKP from maclaw.pl, it's faster and more customizable.

WOW thanks a log holy crap this is even faster than the other one

So happy about this website and this new rom

I was gonna sell my S3 mini because I was disgusted with performance you had to wait 2 and a half seconds to return to home screen when you press the home button figured its cause of the garbage Nova Thor CPU in these phones

Then I installed these roms and wow it flies like blazing fast hooooly moly

I still miss my i9100 S2 though. Cause this Mini is much slower in 3D games than the S2. But say what. Main thing is this rom has solved most of my problems.

I kinda miss the shortcut for the brightness adjustment slider in the drop down from samsung rom.

I was afraid of flashing at first but you guys has held my hand every baby step of the way.

I believe this is all I need now, no need for me to put anything else. Vanilla android is pretty much what I wanted.

So happy that nasty 3 second lag delay in the samsung rom is gone like everything you did took an additional 1 to 3 seconds to respond
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AssToast:
Glad to hear that :)

Just so you know, the delay when you press the home button is caused by S voice, you can disable it and its faster

theres also can option in aokp that you can slide across the status bar to set the brightness

Hello

Im a new owner of a Samsung galaxy S4 I9505. Im experiencing big problems in a game called Modern Combat 4, which has great graphics. Its often unplayable during multiplayer (and sometimes singleplayer) due to excessive fps drop. Naturally game is original, bought on play store, device not rooted and just booted... Why? Oo

I remember with my iphone 4s i could play Modern Combat 3 withouth any fps drop T_T

Thanks

This can perhaps be a software optimization issue. I have an ipad 3 which can play MC3 perfectly fine but MC4 is messed up with frame rate drops all the time. But then, any issues should have been fixed by now as the game has been out for like 9 months or so:what:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wickam:
Definitely not familiar :(

thats the i9500 (octacore), i got the i9505 (quad core)

and btw single player lags just a bit, except in some really heavy parts like 1st mission, where you must attack a beach with so many enemies, water, boats, etc

real problem is multiplayer, which always lags a lot during gunfights T_T
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slick530:
The game is pretty graphic intensive. I ran it on my i9505 international version rooted running AOSP with stock kernel.

Frame rates is definitely lower than what I use before (Xperia S).

I have to use SetCPU to dial up the speed and it ran much better but heats up a lot.

My gut feeling tells me that it has something to do with the stock kernel.

I'll look into it later and let you know.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wickam:
Oww thanks!!!

Especially you should try multiplayer: gunfights are pretty much unplayable imho... But fortunately I was very good with MC3 so I can kill... Sometimes :(

About singleplayer, it doesnt lag as much, it doesnt even lag often but, for example, in the beginning of first mission (during beach assault) i get some lag, not as much as multiplayer though
