[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wittitdew:
So I feel like I know my way around rooting and putting custom roms on android devices. I've done it multiple times and love the features doing those two bring to your device. I recently received a GS3 from my employer and this will be my main device for work and personal use. But the company I work for has an application that is installed on every phone with company information on it so that the app can do things like wipe the device remotely if the phone is lost/stolen for obvious security reasons. But this application also restricts side loading apks and root users on the devices as well.

The application is Maas360:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fiberlink.maas360.android.control.samsung&hl=en

I actually work with the helpdesk of the company, and we have what Maas360 calls 'security policies' that include the settings restrictions for each of the devices with android or iOS... some of the restrictions set in place are like I said with not be able to side load apks, no root users, must have a screen lock with pattern or pin (depending of which security policy is applied), along with other little things.

1.) Is there a way to get the Samsung bloatware off the device by flashing a Stock, non-root custom rom?

2.) Is possible to side load apps with Maas360 installed? The usual setting of 'Allow the installation of non-Google market apps' is grayed out and unchangeable currently...

If there are any other suggestions, those would be great as well. I just want my device to have the flexibility and openness of what a true Android device should have. Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
Typically employers put software like that not just for security measures of lost or stolen, but also to prevent their employees from doing exactly what you are wanting to do. As such, you are essentially asking people here to potentially help break your company's policy and bypass security measures they have installed. As far as I am concerned, you are on your own.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supersour:
Hello, I'm kinda new to the android scene.

Yesterday, I wanted to restore my phone to factory settings but the s3 mini toolkit said that usb debugging was not on (but it was) so I thought I could just wipe everything using TRWP, boy was I wrong.

I tried to flash my phone back to stock via odin but my computer won't even detect the phone(uninstalled and installed phone firmware). I tried placing the md5 file into the microsd in hopes of flashing it via TRWP but it's not recognized either.

Did I brick my phone? lol
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stenc55:
Phone does not recognise microsd or md5?

In first case, try ADB and push some custom rom to phone. Try with universal naked driver.

In second case, try .zip custom rom.

But if it is like TWRP for ASUS TF300, then wipe everything means everything, so you're doomed.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AssToast:
Do you even get a bootscreen? Its possible to factory reset in twrp but i guess you wiped the system partition too
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supersour:
thanks guys! it seems I solved the problem through further use of google :)

I just reflashed the rom that I was previously on with TRWP and everything works now woot!

Mod edit - links removed

This is a flashable zip.

How to Install-

1)Download.

[G2 Themes and Apps] xyltha:
I understand that English must not be your first language, and I have absolutely no problem with that and thank you for your time and effort, but most have no clear idea of what making the LG G2 funkier ( I have changed the Theme Backgrounds ) means, so they at least want to see a screenshot of what this mod will do before they bother to install it.

That's not unreasonable is it? If I'm missing something and this is not something that can be screenshot or doesn't matter if it was then forgive me, but I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one that doesn't want to install every mod they see without having a better idea of what it is they are getting, at least.

Thanks.

[ROM] Unofficial "Nightly" CM11.0 - 4.4.4_r2 [20140716] / CM10.2 [20131220] for Saga

Unofficial CM10.2 / CM11.0 build for Saga / Desire S

#include warranty.h

Download on AndroidFileHost:

CM 10.2 builds

CM 11.0 builds

Don't forget to flash gapps:

CM 10.2: CyanogenMod

CM 11.0: Banks Gapps - take the minimal and install the rest from the play store.

(alternatively, you can try CyanogenMod Gapps, but the zip is too big to fit in /system with the ROM)

For CM 11.0 you will also need an SELinux enabled recovery. The following recoveries work:

4Ext Touch Recovery

TeamWin Recovery Project (compiled by yours truly)

Source repo can be found at GitHub.

Prior to installing this ROM, make a nandroid backup and wipe wipe wipe! - generally recommended to wipe all except your SD card.

As a rule you don't need to wipe if you're flashing an update from CM10.2 to CM10.2 or CM11.0 to CM11.0, but if you're encountering issues, it's still recommended.

Please do not mirror!

Also, don't contact me over PM for support - I don't answer questions that way.

Graphical driver is not finished (libqservice.so)

Mobile Data - delete APN and it works - fixed in build 20131203

Rotation - akmd crashes - flash fix_rotation.zip - no longer needed from build 20131108

Camera gives a green line: put it at 4.5MP or use a 3rd party app for taking pictures. - fixed in build 20131203

torch goes off when screen goes off

mic on external headphones doesn't work - perhaps now it works?

audio streaming to BT media/headset doesn't work - needs confirmation?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] Chainfire:
CF-Root is the root for "rooting beginners" and those who want to keep as close to stock as possible. CF-Root is meant to be used in combination with stock firmwares, and be the quickest and easiest way for your first root.

Donate

CF-Root has been available for many devices and has clocked over 16 million downloads. This is not even counting custom ROMs that already include it. Don't be a leech, buy me a beer (and use the "Thanks" button!). Imagine if every CF-Root user has donated me $1...

What's installed

- SuperSU binary and APK

- Nothing else, that's it.

Installation and usage

- Download the ZIP file (see post below for link)

- Extract the ZIP file

- Boot your device in bootloader/fastboot mode. Usually this can be done by turning your device off, then holding VolDown+Power to turn it on.

- Connect your device to your computer using USB

- Windows:

--- Run root-windows.bat

- Linux

--- chmod +x root-linux.sh

--- Run root-linux.sh

- Mac OS X

--- chmod +x root-mac.sh

--- Run root-mac.sh

- Follow the on-screen instructions - watch both the computer and the device !

Note that if your device had not been unlocked before, this procedure will wipe all your data !

Are you having fastboot driver issues? You can find fastboot drivers in many places, but the easiest way is probably just installing the Android SDK.

Did you see the red Android logo during rooting, but SuperSU does not appear? This may sometimes occur due to left-over files and settings, however, you can usually install SuperSU from Google Play at this stage and it'll just work.

Not included - adbd Insecure

As this CF-Root does not include a custom kernel, adb shell does not have root access by default (you can still get it by typing su inside the shell), nor is adb remount supported, nor will adb push and adb pull work on system files. adbd Insecure can be used to remedy this situation. (No idea what this is about ? Don't worry about it !)

Hello! I've been searching for answers on this but couldn't find anything. I'm on Verizon for reference.

Is there any way to remove the enormous amount of stuff from the status bar? Right now I have a battery icon, the battery percentage, the signal, what speed I'm connected at, some "N" looking symbol, a vibrate icon, a GPS icon (even though GPS is off), and the time.

I want to remove it down to battery percentage, time, and my connection speed. Is there any way to do this without installing a custom status bar? If not, which custom status bar is best?

Thanks!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whittikins:
Nope, not possible without rooting and using a custom one. The "N" is for NFC. If you turn it off, it'll go away. However, it's stupid that there's an icon for that since stock android doesn't have one.

I use the AT&T version with: no carrier label, black status bar, no volume slider, no brightness slider, and stock android buttons (back, Home, Recents). Check the Verizon development forum or perhaps the Apps/Themes sub forum.
