[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] R4NDR01D:
I’ll second the notion to root. I love using my PS3 controller to play Mario 64 on my S4 wirelessly. As far as SkyGo goes, you actually have a couple of options man. I’d try Hide My Root, which looks like a few Galaxy owners verify work to use SkyGo in the review section. Didn’t see an S4 one though. It’s worth a shot. Or I even heard of a working Sky Go repository for XBMC if you’re familiar with that at all. XBMC is kind of a chore to get video playing but some people swear it’s the future.

i tried a whole host of root hiding apps on my xperia s when i had it, and not only did they not work but they required me to totaly restore the entire stock rom before i could get sky go running again.

No official release date exists, as far as I know; speculation is that it'll be relased sometime in Q3/Q4.

how can they ..they still have to sort out the xda2i ,seems like they are just as bad as microsoft
[General Topics] Anton.Valleyman:
O2 don't develop the XDA, they simply stick their stuff on top of the OS HTC and MS provide. The ROM upgrades they provide are really nothing more than a few tinker sessions with perhaps a few more tweaks on the OS.

It shouldn't make any difference if the 2i (I have one, also) is left quivvering like a sh*tting dog. Releasing new models should not be held to ransom of bugs / issues of older models.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoteboyTech:
Guys, whatsup. I wanted to ask a thing.. see I have a game called subway surfers...

It lags horribly on my note.. tried every kernel possible on the internet..

I dun know why only that game.. Mc4 = no lag temple run 2= no lag.. but only subway surfers hicks up..

I mean it annoys me a lot... to be honest.. there are many people who suffer this.. advice me what should I do.. should I go for a motherboard replacement?

and the title lags by kernel is It ran smoothly until I flashed a kernel which I dun remember back 2 months ago...

it was maxfu hydracore nirvana I guess.. that just killed my device.. (no offence to the dev.. when I run his kernel the game rocks)
[HTC One X] Osukido:
Hi Mates,

I have a HTC One X (not rooted yet) which had a very slow and poor performance... something like 92% usage of RAM... icons, menus and the phone in general was lacking and very slow.

I looked in "Settings" > "Apps" > "Only Running Apps"... and here it showed that 0,93 GB out of 0,95 GB was used like this:

"Settings" was using around 81 MB

"GO Launcher EX" = 33 MB

"GO TaskManager EX" = 23 MB

"HD Widgets" = 17 MB

"Swiftkey" = 30 MB

All the others apps are using 10 MB or below.

Note: A lot of the apps was showing the text "Rebooting"...

After this check I decided to make a clean install by restoring my HTC One X to factory default, format the internal SD card, and then start all over from scratch.

I did not use any backup tools for my apps, so I did everything manually to setup and install the phone again... like from new out of the box.

Now I am back, having installed my nearly 290 apps from Google Play market... the phone now show the exact same performance problem.

I understand that the primary benefit of a rooted phone is that you can install whatever ROM software you prefer... and that you have better control of the memory, and can setup which apps should NEVER start unless clicked on manually, and which should be running... so a better performance and the possibility to use a ROM with better features that what comes with the HTC One X out of the box...?!

So if this is true, then I have considered to root my phone soon... if none of you have great news for me on how to increase performance on my existing platform / phone.

I have been told that rooting my phone is very easy, just search XDA Developers website and Youtube for instructions... also I have been recommended to use the ROM named INSERT COIN, and to get hold of something named "unlockcode.bin"... but I am quite worried and nervous about rooting my phone based on these hints, because I have realized that there are several root guides available, different all in one software and many Youtube videos, so I was looking for some guidance on this too, in case you can provide me with weblinks to a secure root procedure, and possible a good and trusted Youtube video.

Note: I have a HTC One X which is not locked to any specific mobile service provider, so I am not sure if this means that I can skip the unlock code bin thing...?!

Does anyone of you have time to help me with these questions above, please?

Many thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Osukido
[HTC One X] steelmaggot:
You've probably got too many apps trying to all run at the same time
[HTC One X] pakjebakmeel:
290 apps.. you're serious eh?

If so post a list and ppl might point out some obvious resource hoggers? Other than that, I think 290 might be a bit overdone?

Also, trying not to offend you but it appears you're better off reading up on the guides first and figure out why what is required to prevent a 'help I've tried to flash ........ And now my phone doesn't boot' topic. It appears you've got some facts mixed up and they can be straightened out by reading some basic root info/guides/faq's.

Maybe someone else who has such a sheer amount of apps installed can comment on the performance?
[HTC One X] knightameer:
290 apps.. :eek: must be havoc in the background!!
[HTC One X] Sheythan...:
you have to use a custom rom and use an application like autorun manager
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
but autorun manager etc aren't also good better to use greenify ....that's a really good app....

and 290 apps are too much, now you now why you have problems...then there are some apps which are ALWAYS in background etc....
[HTC One X] Tigerlight:
Well, the first things I would point out would be...if you are unrooted and have not yet installed a custom ROM then you are fully stock?

Your GoLauncher and HD Widgets will be killing the RAM since even with them, Sense is still being loaded into memory in the background.

There's you low memory right there.
[HTC One X] bihslk:
WTF why do you need whole Google Play market downloaded on your phone? Hahahha 290 apps. This is not a PC man. Its a phone. And you wonder where all performance is? LOL
[HTC One X] Osukido:
Hi Mates,

Thanks for all your feedback and help!

I understand that it seems I have many more apps installed compared to you senior people. :)

I use my phone for many things, both for private and work related stuff, and in Denmark, Europe - where I live, there are plenty of apps around from shops, companies, Government, healthcare, news and TV stations etc. - you name it - also I use apps from the UK and USA, as I have relation to those countries - so actually I have ZERO games installed, but at the moment 251 useful apps installed (I had 290 before I restored my phone) - for things I check up on daily, weekly or monthly... some are you tools like calculator, measurement, convert apps etc. - and 20 apps or so was pre-installed with Android OS itself.

Well, in would have expected that the Android OS would not start all or most of the 251 apps in the background, but only when I use the specific app it should be started, and most of the rest should be in hibernate status... but I realize that the Android OS is not so clever, that it can be setup which apps to run, and which to postpone when not using them...

Then I also understand from your feedbacks, that then I need to root my phone, so that I can install an app like "greenify – root" where I can perform these settings for which apps should be running, and which should not... which I would call a missing Android feature, and something I expected to be able to do on a smartphone from out of the box, but never mind.

@ Tigerlight:

I am unrooted, so I fully agree with you that the Sense is loaded in the background, also that I see many apps running in the background, and I cannot control them, and decide which should hibernate so that only the apps I open should be running, and a few more for mail and weather etc.

This leaves me with a new challenge, or question from my first opening text in this thread... which is that I would now like to root my HTC One X phone, and install the ROM named INSERT COIN... but as I am a newcomer to this world of rooting phones, and as some of you might have seen, then I failed rooting my first old HTC Desire HD phone, so it was not able to boot afterwards... then I would be very pleased if some of you senior people could help me out with some links to which steps I need to perform on my HTC One X in order to root it.

I would be very pleased to do all by myself, and read info/guides/faq's - so that I can learn and become more experienced in this area... but it seems that there are several different YouTube videos, and several different guides on how to root this phone, so all I am asking is for some links to trusted and secure guides and download of the correct INSERT COIN ROM, so that I will not end up in trouble like last time...

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Osukido
[HTC One X] Stefan0vic:
You don't want to go to youtube for rooting guides. Most of the times the files linked in youtube are outdated and you might end up in a bootloop or soft brick. It is very hard to brick a HTC one X so if you just read what you have to do, and KNOW what you are doing to your phone you should be fine. Just make sure you know what you do, when you do it, and what can happen. I suggest using Philz touch recovery (CWM based, since the newer versions of CWM cannot use touch.

Hello XDA

(sorry for my english)

Today I'm try to fix lockscreen button problem (often doesn't work and then need to push very strongly) so I'm detached mainboard and I noticed on back something strange...

This cable from USB port to pin connector to contact with battery. Mainboard photos on internet haven't this cable. This is mod for USB Host? What do you think XDA? This is normal, for me isn't.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] lanhoter:
dont be afraid, in this tutorial, you dont need to know any chinese characters, just follow the instruction..

screenshot of my xt910. its 4.1.2 au not rooted

first, install root explorer in your device

then，download root master（chinese） in the computer

unpack it and install the file

then double click start to install

connect XT910 to the computer, and open the USB DEBUGGING mode,

just waiting your device reboot

download any Superuser from google play and open the Superuser, install the binary successfully ( this is the 1st time)

then

delete the root master in your computer

After the device reboot, find the icon below in the menu, it means root successfully

then go to root explorer System/app and delete the apk file

!!!THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!

Just wait and dont reboot yet. go to the superuser app (download from the play store) and update the binary again ( this is the 2rd time)

And it will be successful.(although u have deleted the superuser(chinese version. if u havent reboot, the root will remain.)

Finish! Reboot the device and you will find the superuesr(downloaded from the google play) will take over the root.

You can find the uploaded pictures of new superuser at Post #8 in this thread

go to system/app delete some apk files you dont use. and enjoy more RAM

Can retail uk 4.1.2 root?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lanhoter:
if u cannot grant root access

just connect XT910 to computer again, open USB debugging

open the root master,

root master will automatically check root again, if u see this pic blow, just open Superuser and install binary. it will be successful

Im on eu jb and I succeded in rooting with this method. Superuser doesnt install on updating binary, I have root but no superuser permission now. I have deleted the superuser from the rooting tool. Just one problem with this situation, I cant Install BMM, it says Its requires root access, it doesnt install coz I I dont have my binary updated. I can delete some apps from system and change permission, but no bmm. have tried with superuser and supersu.no work. Maybe we dont need to deleted that superuser from the root.

edit: tried once more and done. I dont install the superuser (the one from the root) and install superuser from market. Open the superuser (from market) and update binary success. I have BMM now...:laugh::laugh::laugh:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lanhoter:
SORRY,i just miss write these two steps.

first should open the superuser downloaded from google play and install the binary successfully

then delete superuser.apk file in system/app folder

and reboot the device,

the device will use the superuser downloaded from google play as root tool

i already changed...

i delete that bcz the superuser is chinese,cannot read..

i just wipe data/cache, and redo the steps again.

finally success.

sorry for all inconvenience

.

and tested can use BMM
[Motorola Droid RAZR] demonshouter:
Doesnt work for me...after updating binary, delete the superuser from root and reboot, open the superuser and it requesting to update binary....but fail. Install the superuser from root again and binary update success....

It doesnt matter anyway...as long as I have root....and bmm.

Ndietya
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tharpu:
You should try again overall process buddy. This method actually worked for me. At first,I opened superuser( not Chinese version) and clicked "update binary". Installation of binary failed(downloading is ok), then I clicked try again, then it worked like a charm.:silly:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lanhoter:
this bcz u just reconnect the device with computer without wipe data/cache

i wiped all. redo all the steps and grant root access.

the superuser(chinese version) is noisy，always take action with each step and cannot read..

Worked like charm :D

thanks a tons lanhoter

saved me from downloading the Sun Virtual Box, my download speed is so slow here

so, let's state the correct step for future reader reference:

1. download both file

-root explorer, put imto ur phone because u will use it in ur phone

-rootmaster.exe, install it on ur pc

2. install the rootmaster

3.tick the USB debuggin in the developer options

4.download super user from market dan update the binary

5.install BMM or SS, grant it the root access

5.delete the superuser.apk (the chinese one)

6.reboot, dan wipe cache

and you are good to go

Good day
[Motorola Droid RAZR] R3dbeaver:
worked like a charm.

although, since it's 1.5.2, the icons look a little different. and my superuser won't update it binaries. well, it seem like it does, but everytime i run the app it asks again.

so i deleted the apk and reboots. delete cache. we'll see what happened. (bmm works just fine though)

update: works ok. lol... i removed the chinese superusers with ES Root Explorer. and without rebooting, i try to update superusers and it errored out. one more reboot with another dalvik/cache wipe and it seems to be ok. but who cares, i got BMM. time to try the new 4.3 PA!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nkos719:
it doesnt work for me.i try to get access on root but crap :$
[Motorola Droid RAZR] shubdya4u:
It does work, Please go through the steps properly............if you think you have done it properly............Then please do describe your steps sequentially so that we can assist you in doing the rooting properly..........
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JiroPrinz8:
So here's what I did after already getting root via the Chinese app:

1 downloaded superuser from play store.

2 updated binaries (grant super user access via the Chinese superuser)

3 installed BMM, grant superuser still using Chinese superuser.

4 deleted Chinese apk

5 reboot and did cache wipe

After this superuser still is asking to update binary and still fails. Any ideas? Although I already have BMM, so it's cool, but I'd really like a properly rooted stock ROM though.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lanhoter:
ok

u can try just one more time with this.

1 downloaded superuser from play store.

2 updated binaries (this is the 1st time, grant super user access via the Chinese superuser)

3 deleted Chinese apk and dont reboot.

4 updated superuser( download from the play store) binaries again. (this is the 2rd time and it will be success, grant super user access via the Chinese superuser, if u havent reboot the chinese root is still available)

5 reboot, you will find the superuser( download from the play store) will take over the root.

am also loving the stock rom,, remain on AU version..with some scripts. the battery keeps longer and smartactions can keeps my phone running 2days.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mgiammarco:
Probably it is because I am not english native I cannot understand this part ( and I am not able to root...):

Just wait and dont reboot yet. go to the superuser app (download from the play store) and update the binary again ( this is the 2rd time)

And it will be successful.(although u have deleted the superuser(chinese version. if u havent reboot, the root will remain.)

How can I "update the binary". I have already installed superuser from playstore so I cannot reinstall or "update". The second sentence ("altough...") is unreadable for me.

Thanks for help,
