UAG won't do it for me as it's a one piece case, the whole reason the CMT was the dogs was the rubber inner and seperate hard shell outer.

This allows some compression/deceleration if a drop occurs and that can make the difference between cracked or working LCD.

Any other alternates?

try the spigen neo hybrid, I have it and it's not bad, just doesn't play well with non stock chargers. The spigen ultra slim isn't bad either. just got that.

Well then let me know if you find a better alternative. I was a Tough user for my S2 too, loved it. I am gonna pull the plug on the UAG in a week if I don't find any better. Spigen cases (all of them) are horrible, I want 'protection', not show off!

The seidio convert case is pretty nice. Its actually 2 cases in one so if you dont feel like having the rugged case say if youre at home you can take it off and have the minimalist case underneath. Cant remember the name for that case tho haha.

In the end I've gone with the Otterbox Defender.

A bit chunkier then I'd like to be honest but it provides proper protection and for my very expensive phone that's what's important.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jujuburi:
Defender? Wow, that's so heavy according to some people. How much extra weight does it add? Can you in/out the phone from pocket easily? I don't mean coat/blazer pocket.

Siedo acrive is too the nice case to go for.....
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] pinsb:
If you use the Defender without the belt clip there's no problems putting it into or taking it out of your pocket. I don't notice the extra weight to be honest but that could be because I'm 6' 2" and a big guy.

For me protection comes first and looks second, honestly I can't understand people who'd risk a $600+ ($1000 for me) loss + all the inconvenience for the sake of it looking marginally better.

Of course I don't want it to look like rubbish but protection always first.

Hello to all

I redirected my number (with another phone) to my Android phone (Android 4.2.1)

The call is redirected without problems but my question is: how can i know when a call is redirected?

I see that Android lets appear a popup "redirected call" but it remain only 3-4 seconds .... well not even have time to pull out your phone from the bag!!

Is there a program or setting to better highlight Redirected Calls?

The old nokia put a -> (arrow) before the number.

Thanks to all

Houstonn has made a geehrc kernel that allows E975 Optimus G's camera to work when flashing his roms, and our SlimBean 4.3 and Presumably my illusion rom 2.5, since it's built on the 4.3 Slim base.

Just so you guys know, houstonn has mentioned that he's going to take down all of his files and delete his XDA as he is moving to a new device, so you might want to pull his geehrc kernels and all the roms on his test folder before that happens.

The roms are excellent, and whatever magic sauce is in that kernel you guys should pull off of his github also, then you can flash whatever roms in our forum you like with functional camera. Also, for whatever reason it works on the slim/illusion rom, those are actually based off of dvhexers repos, so is BeanStalk, so it just opens up freebie options.

Backup and give it a shot.

This kernel will fix your camera with AT&T roms.

[HTC Droid DNA] Character Zero:
Going to sell my DNA but I want to wipe it. I am first going to do the traditional wipe and re-install the ROM. Then I want to clean off the SD card. I have TWRP. If I do a wipe of just the internal sd card will it keep my system untouched so I can boot into the ROM?
[HTC Droid DNA] xlxcrossing:
Connect the phone to PC, delete all files on the phone, place stock ROM onto the phone, boot to recovery do a full wipe (system,data,cache,dalvik) The ROM should still be in data/media. Flash it, reboot,connect to PC, delete ROM file and don't run setup.

There may be a better way but as far as I know the internal card contents won't wipe unless you explicitly choose it. If you can do that from recovery then that will work.
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Wipe as normal, flash ROM, then in advanced wipe choose internal storage, swipe to wipe, done. Fresh ROM and no SD card contents.

Hey people!

So I recently purchased a Nexus 7 1st gen, not a new device but for what I need the device for, I figured I didnt need to spend money on extra power, not just yet anyhow.

I shall be doing multiple things with my nexus which includes

Netflix (Already have app)

Image editing (Have Photoshop)

But I'm looking for a list of applications that people would recommend, Purchased apps are also there for the taking.

I want to improve my audio via an equalizer, DSP? I'm unsure if that is a decent application for audio compared to other applications.

Good games? I like RPGs, FPS, Racing and casual games.

Email application? I have boomerang atm.

Best launcher? Currently using Holo HD.

Any other personally recommended apps from you people?

So what apps would you recommend, Im already rooted with custom ROM and Kernel (Paranoid and Franco)

Also what settings would you say towards a better battery life with minimal performance decrease? I dont use Overclocking.

Thanks in advance!

[Moto X Android Development] papi92:
The point of this thread is to talk about possible vurnibilities we can use for a root exploit. This discussion should only include relevant information. Please do not spam this thread full of thanks you and questions. That will only cause problems.

The first vurn I would like to talk about is the second master key vurn as it is open. I have yet to see it included in an exploit.

The second one is a vurn jcase has posted in his security Google + community. I will go look for a link to include here.
[Moto X Android Development] papi92:
Here is the second vurn. Too my knowledge we would need to alter it to use a Moto POC.

[Moto X Android Development] papi92:
If someone can help me. I was talking with Mr. Root aka Jcase and he says to use his vurn we would need to find a system application that executes from the /data partition. This can be done by breaking down system apps and looking at the smali code. Mattlgroff helped me look at 3C check in apk and says it is calling from /com.motorola.data.event.api/ and similar named folders which should help the planned exploit.
[Moto X Android Development] papi92:
My bad. That can not be used. We need a System User application that calls an executable script. That application only reads/writes.

[Moto X Android Development] CNexus:
It's possible that a modified motochopper could do it
[Moto X Android Development] t0dbld:
Modified how? Guys If you wish to try and find an exploit first you need to understand what one is and how it works, second check source code against known vulnerabilities for the patches if you find something unpatched then you are on to something. BTW Motorola does more than make phones for example US military level security and encryption. I have not spent a ton of time looking but thus far every known vulnerability I have checked has been patched meaning it will take finding a new one .. If one exists. If one does not than hopefully we get lucky when we get updates. The more current the software the better chance we would have of an unpatched vulnerability being found... Hope this helps, good luck in your search
[Moto X Android Development] _MetalHead_:
I wonder if the exploit geohot used to root the GS4 Active would work. His root method is an apk, which is different than any root method I have come across before. I wonder if it's an Android exploit and not one specific to the GS4 Active... both devices are on 4.2.2. I did try to use it on my Moto X but the apk checks to make sure you have an Active so it didn't work. Anyone here on "speaking" terms with him?

Here's a link to the apk download, not sure if it'll help or not- http://geohot.com/activeroot/
[Moto X Android Development] COLJ04:
We can strip the apk to remove the script to check for a s4 active an then try it. Probably can see the exploit in the script and try to use it. I'll take the apk apart after work and report back what I see if no one else beats me to it or is able to contact geohot.

Cole

---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:51 PM ----------

So I ripped it apart on my phone to see what I could see. Basically the apk contains a lib.so file that I opened in hex reader. I'm to big of a noob to make since of hex especially from my phone but that is where we will find the root exploit used in this. I will look again tonight but I'm not promising to be able to decode it to where I can provide much. Jcase did challenge geohot over this and cited many links to where the exploit is a known exploit and not one he found himself. I am heading to find that info now and suggest the same for others that are looking for a exploit. Might be the best option since like said before it the same 4.2.2 on the active.

---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 PM ----------

So upon research I found the S4 uses a Motorola boot loader and the exploit is the Loki exploit. I am attaching a link to explain the exploit for those extremely good with rooting to take and run with it. http://blog.azimuthsecurity.com/2013/05/exploiting-samsung-galaxy-s4-secure-boot.html?m=1

Hopefully we gain forward momentum with this.

Cole
[Moto X Android Development] housry23:
Good find Cole. I'm no developer, but I had a S4 at one point and Loki is basically an extra zip you flash at the recovery level to "trick" the phone into thinking the bootloader is unlocked so the rom or kernel flash can proceed. So....first we would have to be able to get a custom recovery. Also, I'm pretty sure Motochopper was used to gain root first on the S4 and it's said not to be working on the X. Loki can be built into the custom recovery as well so you don't have to flash it every time.

I'm pretty sure that Samsung and Motorola read these forums and patch any exploit found. Still no root for the latest update on the AT&T S4 and the update was pushed out at least 2 months ago. I think that unless we get Motorola and/or AT&T to add the Moto X to the bootloader unlock program, we're screwed. That's just my opinion though. Maybe someone will come through! Here's to hoping.
[Moto X Android Development] linuxgator:
From what I can tell the S4 Active uses an exploit that can be found here https://github.com/android-rooting-tools/android_run_root_shell. It requires something called the remap_pfn_range addresses to be able to use the exploit. I suspect what it does is remaps the exploit code directly into memory at a specific location to be able to run the exploit. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to find the proper range addresses for the Moto X. I have sent an email to one of the people that work on the git code, and hopefully will get a response soon. I know that the Moto X source code is available for the open source components, so hopefully it will be located in there. If anyone else can figure anything out regarding that, let me know, or just take a crack at making it work yourself.

Edit: Apparently to get the memory address, you need a kernel dump. Can anyone figure out how to get one for both the at&t and Verizon models?
[Moto X Android Development] COLJ04:
I'll try for the Verizon and use the git and see what I can do.

AT&T and Rogers

Just a random thought here. I noticed that the AT&T and Rogers Xs are the same model number. Anyone think there might be a way of tricking the bootloader unlock tool into thinking the AT&T version is a Rogers. Perhaps something like what was done to unlock the Droid DNA.
[Moto X Android Development] imstill@g:
I am pretty sure that takes root, the same was accomplished in the HTC One X by changing the Cid. But we need root for that process, I believe.
[Moto X Android Development] tw1tch175:
If AT&T and Rogers truely are the same device then what about tricking the factory restore images to thinking the AT&T phone is Rogers. Then restoring as a Rogers to make the unlock code sent to Moto look like a Rogers unlock code. After that the bootloader is unlocked and it's very easy to restore your AT&T image.

Just thinking out loud mostly, I don't actually have the expertise to do this.
[Moto X Android Development] linuxgator:
I know that at least one person tried flashing the Rogers restore image to his at&t Moto x, but got errors so he flashed back. It may still be possible to find a way around that by messing with the xml file in the image zip, but if you mess it up you could end up with a bricked phone. We need someone with some good knowledge of the process and who is willing to take the risk to try it out some more. If that works, there's still no guarantee that there isn't something in the hardware like an efuse that will prevent it.
[Moto X Android Development] Psilocin:

There is no dev edition from art itself, only a dev edition from moto with at compatible radios. Chances are, will be completely different. Looks like this one will be locked down tight.
[Moto X Android Development] shabbypenguin:
This statement makes my head hurt in so many ways.

Loki was a tool designed to bypass the locked bootloader on the ATT/VZW SGS4. they dont use a motorola bootloader, they use little kernel (most oems' using the s4 chipset did). lets say for instance loki would work on this device it would require a good bit of code changed for motorola, someone who has the arm version of IDA pro (will set ya back about 3K USD) disassemble the aboot and find the correct offsets for teh signature checking. then you loki patch a unsigned kernel and write it on there using DD, except you cant cuz you dont have root.

You guys need root, the exploit in activeroot is the perf kernel exploit. it needs to be modified for each device to add support, doomlord would be your best shot at this. whether or not it affects this device IDK.
[Moto X Android Development] linuxgator:
I've actually been in contact with doomlord trying to get the exploit working on the X. Hopefully, he'll help me figure out what I'm doing wrong with it and we can get it working soon, or at least find out if it is a dead end.
[Moto X Android Development] DethMetalz69:
I remember you from the MoPho development! Nice to see you around again :P Im also stumped with this no bootloader and no root thing, I am on Verizon though.
[Moto X Android Development] mkinney88:
I am looking to buy the X but haven't yet due to the locked bootloader for Verizon, but i had a theory. The HTC One S you would get your unlock code and submit it for a unlock.bin is there a way we can just see what is in the unlock.bin with hex editor that the bootloader is looking for unlock? I know it might be a long shot but just throwing ideas out there.

Another idea....can you do the same thing as this does and doesn't require root. I believe all it does is restore a com.andoird.settings and then you could just get a backup partition of the CID from a Rogers phone Unlock the bootloader and then restore your CID partiton backup. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2214653
[Moto X Android Development] Edgehood:
I could be wrong, but I think CID is HTC specific. I've never heard of any kind of SuperCID, etc, for any kind of device other than the ones that are made by HTC. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though :good: My AT&T Moto X will be here around Thursday, I'll try to find a bootloader exploit when it gets to me.

Edit: My bad. There is a CID, I guess it just isn't generally as big of a deal on Motorola devices as it is on HTC
