Hey Everyone

I'm new to the android world here.. and I've been attempting to get root access with my lt15a

however I am having several issues having rooting apps work

I've tried zroot, framaroot, flashtool, & Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v31

all apps seen to run, but not root the device

my bootloader is unlock, I've set usb debugging, allow installation of non-market apps, mass storage mode (msc)

the phone is running android 4.0.4 kernel version 2.6.32.9-perf build # 4.1.B.0.587

******

on a side note.. I did successfully root my phone before updating to 4.0.4 without knowing it would lock my bootloader and lose my root

I have since paid to unlock the bootloader, however can not root the device again

can any guide me in the right direction..

thanks

Check the Xperia Tipo section of xda-developers, I am sure there is at least once custom kernel.

I've tried the -rooted, kingo android root, and still no success

I've also tried flashtool root and it fails

I noticed during using flashtool.. it says bootloader can not be officially unlocked.,. not sure if that means anything

when I checked the phone is service screen.. it says bootloader unlocked...

all rooting apps if tried .. get to a certain screen.. and seem to sit there and then show rooting failed...

can anyone provide the exact link to the ics kernel..

or what I can try ...

Hi,

I got my SM-9005 yesterday on contract from Optus (australia).

Does anybody know how the hell you change the icons on the bottom of the screen? I want to get rid of the default "Internet" and change it to Opera. Also getting rid of the text underneath would be good to.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

i use a second launcher, something like Apex, Nova, or Next, will allow you to change the dock icons, rearrange them, redo the icons, and everything else :)

I recently got a HTC One and installed the Elegancia ROM. I noticed that the Google keyboard no longer shows a voice input key, though it's enabled in the settings. Does this feature work for anybody? If so, what ROM and Android version are you using? Thanks!

Edit: I found the problem. "Google Voice Input" is a separate IME that needs to be enabled in Settings->Language and Input.

Alright guys this is a simple and straight forward question.

First off let me say im a complete noob when it comes to stuff like this but im more then willing to learn.

My Situation is the following

I LOVE the screen along with the effect that is included on HyperDrive ROM on rls16

I want that lock screen for M.O.A.R.

My Q is how do i do it?

BTW I HAVE googled and I cant seem to find the answer anywhere

Thanks in advanced!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] joeyhdownsouth:
You have to know how to decompile, make changes, then recompile. Not only that, extensive knowledge of framework would help. Then test your work, May or may not be compatible or even work at all.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] joeyhdownsouth:
No problem, there's a lot to it if your not familiar with compiling, framework, java code, etc... I started to learn java code and stopped. That's only breaking the surface of Android OS.

Haha I see, I thought it was as simple as swapping apk's I really don't have all the time to learn all that stuff maybe on some of my time free I'll look into little by little
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] joeyhdownsouth:
No, I think lockscreens are part the framework. There are lock screen apps you can download, but most are battery hogs, and probably not what your wanting. I didn't have the time either. Java is kinda confusing to learn also, much less the rest of it.

I don't know how to create these but this is my wish list...

1. On my Note 2 we had some mods that created 5x6 grid in touchwiz (and all the widgets resized correctly). (I tried the one in the International Note 3 section but it didn't work - I am rooted etc.)

2. the 15 or 22 icon top menu that included 'hotspot'

3. Kill the boot sound (and change the boot animation)

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Sensamic:
I'm about to sell my Nexus 10 to buy a smaller tablet. The Nexus 10 is great but it's too big to use comfortably daily. Playing games is almost impossible and holding the tablet in portrait it's too uncomfortable.

I've narrowed it down to the new Nexus 7 or the upcoming LG G Pad 8.3. I prefer the LG because 8 inches seems to be the perfect screen size for gaming, video playback, web browsing and PDF reading.

The Nexus 7 has great price, updates, great stock experience and it's already available. But I feel I would get tired of the small screen too quickly. Reading PDFs would be almost impossible, as well as web browsing.

I've been thinking about it for days and still can't decide.

Do you guys that own the Nexus 7 feel the screen is too small after a few months with it? I'll be using the new tablet at home always. I think the LG is great because it's the first 8 inch tablet with 1080P screen. The snapdragon 600 inside is also better and the battery is bigger also, but I know I wouldn't get updates. This wouldn't be too much of a problem if the tablet works for me. I think I could keep an 8 inch tablet longer than a 7.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] player911:
No. In fact I think the size is perfect. Its wide enough to hold in one hand comfortably (portrait). It fits in my front jeans pocket (barely). Big enough to do whatever on.

The N7 uses an under clocked S600. It has updated cores and GPU. I don't know why they called it an S4 Pro. So speed wise you will see very little difference.

LG never supports their products. It will probably come out with 4.2.2 just as we're getting 4.4. They have horrible update schedules. You're lucky to get one OS update before EOL. Development on them are also lacking. They usually come locked without an easy way to unlock. The LG G2 is rooted by a special method but remains locked.

It will probably never see an update past 4.4

I wouldn't pick a LG device unless I gave it several months to settle and see where it ends up with updates and dev. They make some great hardware but really botch up the software and support. The G2 seems like a great phone out of the box but will be left in the dust in a few months. Take your chances with their tablet but think about one thing:

How well will you like it in a year when the N7 has the latest and greatest Android (5.0?) and cool ROMs and mods, and you're stuck on an iffy modified stock rom with no support?

I left the Nexus line once, and it was rough.

The 7" is very nice because you want to downsize for toting. It fits easier into your coat pockets and lighter. 7 and 8 inches aren't that different unless you are comparing. Standalone you won't even notice the difference.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] roytse:
Actually the N7's 7 inch display isn't too small for PDF and web browsing. Given its retina grade PPI, words are crisp even when they are zoomed out. I've been using it for my classes which I read PDF PowerPoint slides on daily basis, and I am happy with it. :good:

7 inch is also the largest you can get for comfortable 1 hand use with portrait mode. 8 inch tablets has to be held with 2 hands even in portrait.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] swisstourist:
You lay down, put tablet on your belly. Can be held with one hand...

So size doesn't matter.

Reading? n7 is good... No more headaches.

Oh well go with n7 and next year maybe a nexus8 will come out.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] bradavon:
It sounds like you've answered your own question, you find 7" tablets to small. Both are excellent tablets, you can't really go wrong with either of them.

I've not used a Nexus 7 but have used a Galaxy Tab 2 7" and I thought the size was great for what it was, small, pocketable but 7" tablets are rather small for day to day use (they're fine for reading PDFs though, Kindles are even smaller).

Personally I find 10" tablets to big.

For me the iPad Mini is pretty much the perfect tablet size but Apple products interest me not. I was interested in the Galaxy Tab 3 8" but oddly for Samsung their Galaxy Tab specs are low. I understand both the Galaxy Tab 3 8" and LG G Pad 8.3 are roughly the same size and crucially aspect ratio as the iPad Mini.

It's the wider nature of 8" tablets that interest me and of course the LG G Pad 8.3 is a much better tablet than the Galaxy Tab 3 8".

Sure I doubt LG will upgrade the version of Android much (if at all), their track record is poor but you know what Android 4.2.2 is already a decent version of Android and it's not as if Android 4.3/4.4 add much.

Yes not getting Android 5.0 (possibly) would irk me but it's all about the size and aspect ratio with a tablet for me and 8" tablets are the "sweet spot". Plus I like the look of QSlide, it doesn't look as useful as Samsung's Multi-Window but is the next best thing. Being able to display two apps at once on a tablet is genuinely useful.

p.s - IMO this whole phones/tablets not getting the latest Android version is overrated, you've still bought a decent product (hopefully) and the past few Android upgrades have been minor anyway. Android 4.0 came out 2 years ago!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] BradleyW:

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Kholargol:
I think the LG is better. But nobosy knows when it will be released.. :(
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] patrickoneal:
I had the Nexus 7(2013) and returned it because of the nonfunctional GPS and random reboot issues. From what I understand, the GPS now works, but the reboot issues persist, and some still complain of multitouch issues.

I've got the LG G2 and it's the best phone I've ever owned. With that said, I'm looking forward to the G Pad. The Q-Pair software looks really slick, in that you can tether to your phone(supposedly any Android phone) for a data connection with one click. It will also send and receive texts and phone calls from a connected phone.

As to the comments about one handed use, the G Pad is a hair under 1/2" wider than the Nexus 7, thanks to the thin bezel. LG supposedly studied average hand sizes to come up with comfortable overall dimensions.

I'd say if you want the bleeding edge latest-greatest version of Android, and can live with the smaller screen, Asus build quality, and random reboots, go with the Nexus 7.

If you don't mind slow or no software updates, but want a bigger screen, most likely superior build quality, and hopefully no random reboots, go with the G Pad 8.3. That said, I'd still wait for it to hit the market to see if any serious issues surface.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mmikeee:
I'm in the same situation as you. I currently have the nexus 7 and love the screen quality and all. It's good for reading super small texts but I've always felt like 8 inch screen was the perfect size. I'm waiting to see when the lg comes out and the price. If it's $299, that's a bargain and I'm probably gonna sell my nexus 7 and get the LG. I'm not too worried about software with the LG because I know I'm gonna end up rooting it and installing AOSP on it eventually.

Also I feel like the nexus 7 doesn't have a great build quality. my nexus 7 most likely has a grounding issue (ie: I have touches not registering when I place it flat on my bed or table) but who knows maybe lg will have the same problem. I would say wait for lg to come out, play with it, then make your decision
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] goofball2k:
LG is terrible with releasing updates for their products. I'd actually wait a bit to see if the dev community does anything for it. I had a phone from them that they basically stopped doing updates for a month after it was released, rendering it useless. I had bought it on the basis that they were going to release an update for it, and after a year, they didn't.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] NovaSlim:
My Nexus 7 2013 have been great, and have neither multitouch or random reboot issues. If the Gpad can be rooted/unlocked/restored as easily as Nexus 7 and have a Dev community just as large I might consider it. Otherwise I prefer the Nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mickliq:
I have an N7 2013 running PA to get the Tablet UI, which I feel works much better than Phablet mode (lots more real estate).

I do feel the N7 bezels are a waste and would much prefer an 8" tablet with much smaller bezels. I had an iPad mini before the N7 (my wife has it now!) and as much as iOS is boring, it worked much better as a tablet in terms of its size. So I'm thinking the LG would close that gap.

Like others, however, I feel it would need to be BL unlockable to make the switch. I have hope only because it's a WiFi only device, thus no carriers to be beholden to.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Sensamic:
LG G Pad 8.3 to be available October 14th in Korea and other markets by the end of the year.

Price: 510$.

Ouch. Ouch. Ouch.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] cinco312:
I love the new N7. I just got rid of my iPad 3, it was big and of course boring. I'm not experiencing any of those issues, I rooted and unlocked it straight outta the box, still running stock ROM. It's great for web browsing and everything else of course. I personally think this is the best tablet on the market. You can't go wrong with price, usability and support from Google and XDA.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sen-cha:
For on the go, I like the 2013 N7. My 2012 got really laggy even after the update. There are a few bugs still with the touch response, but its better now. Ill still use an iPad 3 at home, mainly because the wife prefers Apple. The LG looks like it could be nice, but not for the rumor prices.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] elfurbe:
It's really about the tradeoff you want to make. The new N7 is great and it wins where Nexus devices win: frequent updates, freedom to flash and competitive pricing. If you're a person (like me) who likes to muck about a lot, there's no alternative. With non-Nexus devices, I think you have to ask yourself if you're potentially comfortable with that device as-is for the entire time you own it. If it never got a new feature or the newest OS base and the like, would you be satisfied with the purchase? If you feel good saying yes to that, it sounds to me like the screen size is a big feature for you, so I'd go that way. If you're putting your faith in an OEM to fix or improve software, there's history to support the conclusion that you will generally be disappointed, as a rule of thumb. Just go into the purchase with your eyes open to that likely scenario and you'll be fine.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Sensamic:
Today I went to a store to try again the Nexus 7 and I think I'm sold. Great screen, great materials, very nice to hold with one hand, stock android, etc. Then I tried the Note 8.0 and Tab 3 8.0 and they felt heavier and my hand got tired much quickly than with the Nexus 7. Screen was not that bad, but comparing touchwiz to stock on the Nexus 7 showed me again stock is better for a tablet.

I'm not gonna wait for the LG. Will try the Nexus 7 for a week and see how that goes.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] ch55:
Fistly, for comparing, we must try in hand G8.

I bought a month ago N7 lte, and now thinking to try G8, and if it will be the same in tactical feelings i prefer 8 inch vs 7 inch.

10 inches is big for mobility, 7 - small for reading. 8 - best compromise.

And of course, price is one more important factor.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Sensamic:
Awesome. Awesome. Awesome.

This tablet is great. Bought it today to replace my Nexus 10, which is a great tablet but I just can't use it comfortably holding it for hours. Too heavy and big. Playing games was impossible, as doing almost everything else.

I wasn't quite sure about 7 inches, but after a couple of hours playing with the device I can say it's great. It's AWESOME being able to hold the tablet with one hand for long periods of time without problems.

The screen is even better than the one in my Nexus 10: more bright and better colors. It just pops out.

The performance is great also. It may be slightly slightly faster and more fluid. It's great having such a good GPU: the adreno 320. I've gotalso more RAM available now, since with the Nexus 10 we were losing more and more RAM with every update Google released. They were giving more memory to the GPU and in the end I only had 500MB free. Now I have 1,2GB! This is after all apps installed and everything obviously.

It's so light and comfortable. In the end this is the most important feature.

I'm super impressed with the quality of the speakers! So loud and clear! I got the 32GB model for 249. Great price.

I can definitely see that Google has put more care in the software performance of this device than on the Nexus 10. Performance is consistent, no lags, no reboots or freezes for now. Even touch response is better than on the Nexus 10. Trust me.

I can finally play games comfortably and do everything without having to hold in my hands such a huge tablet. No more 9 inch tablets or bigger for me thanks. Even 8 inches seems big now. I actually tried the Note 8.0 and Tab 3 8.0 on the store before buying the Nexus 7 and they weren't as comfortable to hold as the Nexus 7. The plastic was horrible and it slips out of my hands. Touchwiz didn't perform half as quick and smooth as stock on the Nexus 7.

This is the best experience I've had with Android definitely. Can't imaging how Google will be able to improve this hardware anymore in the next versions. The materials are excellent, screen can't be better, loud speakers... and I'm even getting great battery life.

Now just waiting for 4.4. So happy right now. Selling my Nexus 10 this week.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mmikeee:
That's the conversion price. you can't go off of that because the US price will be different from the won price. example: the note 8 has the same won price as the lg g pad but only costed $400 in the US. the ipad mini was 640,000 won (vs 650,000 for note 8 and lg g pad) and only costed $329 in the US. only way to tell the true cost will be to wait until they release that info for the US, which is after South Korea so next!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Dysternaut:
I'm also waiting for the LG G Pad 8.3 and how it compares to the Nexus 7 2.

However, it's not only about the size and performance for me, but also about the fact that Asus is behind the Nexus 7 2 hardware. I had a Padfone 2 for a few months, which then broke down, and the following so called "service" from Asus was so abysmal, that I swore to myself never to buy any product from them ever again. Luckily my operator, who I bought the Padfone 2 through, ended up giving me a full refund after 2 months of Asus bull**** and have now stopped selling Asus products for the same reason here in Denmark.

So I am really hoping for the G Pad to be a hit, and have a good unlock option and dev backing down the road. Only time will tell I guess.

To the original thread starter, I'm glad you're happy with your Nexus 7. Just pray to the god the hardware doesn't break and needs service from Asus...
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Sensamic:
Everyone has different experiences.

I have an Asus laptop that broke a few years back and I sent it to repair and it only took them one week. Just one week after I has sent it I got it back perfectly repaired.

The laptop has like 9 years and still works fine.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] shadymouse:

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mickliq:
Could be trouble for LG if Apple introduces an iPad Mini Retina 16GB at $329! Of course, the G Pad has expandable RAM, but still...
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] dud3me:
I don't really understand the point of these threads here. Are you guys trying to decide between the two or do you already have n7 and are thinking of switching to it?

Tbh it's fairly simple, if you want slightly bigger screen with otherwise similar specs (bit better) , go for the LG g pad. However, if you want to have latest android for certain buy n7. I actually though about waiting for the g pad, but decided to go for the nexus and have no intention of switching to g pad when it comes even if it is similarly priced. The hardware is undoubtedly better on the LG, albeit just a bit.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mickliq:
^ in my case I have an N7, and although I like it, I don't love it. Particularly the huge bezels. My iPad Mini felt so much better in the hand. I was thinking of selling it for a G Pad, but at this point the iPad Mini 2 will be out so I'll look at both and then decide.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mi7chy:
Google should've partnered with LG for a Nexus 8 especially for those tired of Asus' screw ups with the Nexus 7.1 and 7.2.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] goofball2k:
A nexus 8, I might have been very interested in, especially if it had 2560 resolution. I just don't like the support LG provides for its products going forward. At least Google gives OS updates and I know will have a community that will produce ROM's for it as well.
