[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] syaoran91:
Hi I had some questions, that if the action can be done by rooting my phone i was wondering if someone can send me to a video or tell me them self step by step clearly how to root a phone and if needed a custom rom with detail enough that i wont brink my phone i would very much appreciate that.

First My phone seems when on the app store to download apps really slowly, i have factory reset my phone but still acts this way can anyone help me with this issue?

Also my battery life seems to be very bad i see my phone at 97 percent one moment the 80 the next. Is the only way to increase battery life is by power saver mode and limiting my cpu and setting my brightness to nothing? or are there better options out there?

Also I was told rooting my phone and using battery calibrate might help is that true?

I have the Samsung galaxy s2 with a 1.5 cpu from t-mobile running on 4.1.2.

P.s Any other information you might know about this that will help my phone for the better please also include seeing that i have never dealt with this phone. (also i know its kinda old but with college its the only thing that really fit my budget)

Hi,

I've been Google'ing all over and now am really stuck :(

I have an HTC One with Android 4.2.2 installed on it and the phone is ROOTED :)

I want to do something really simple however, due to a puzzling Busybox install I keep getting caught out!

So here's the issue; I want to install Archlinux on the phone in a chroot... documentation is here:

<can't post link>

no probs :)

Though the issue I'm facing is wget can't resolve host, I try nslookup and get the internal loopback address of the phone "127.0.0.1/localhost".

This seems to be due to no resolv.conf file existing in /system/etc... using information described here:

<can't post link>

I attampted:

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/<output from mount cmd> /system

mount -o remount,rw /system

mount -o rw,remount /proc /system

these seem to work for a while as "mount" shows /system being rw..... only after a while this seems to revert back to ro?

Additionally if I try installing anything like Busybox from Stephen Stericson the phone just crashes and reboots itself?? - using both "normal" and "smart" install methods.

Busybox X seems to work well for the current runtime, however, after reboot it's gone?

I have absolutely no idea how to solve this as I've been reading and reading and reading and the closest thing I came up with is a watchdog timer mentioned on a Sony handset but then if there is such a thing on my HTC how to find the pid to kill it?

Unfortunately standard *NIX commands don't really seem to work well, ie.

ps aux | grep watch

so I have no idea how to even begin finding it.

I have tried using various GUI apps additionally which also just reboot the phone when checking the "remount /system rw" option.

Has anyone got any advise or suggestions that could help me win the battle??

Many thanks.

.....well I hope this helps someone now but found an app called: HTC One RW which did the trick!

Busybox installed properly, nslookup worked and now running shell script to install Archlinux :D

Hi, we have all been there. Got a set of icons only to find ONE is missing, that throws the whole look of our carefully crafted main page.

I've spent a fortune in time and £ looking for the perfect set for me. I've pleaded with the devs for the one I need.

I found an answer that works for me. Make it using two apps, Simple text, and Icon Changer. Start with simple text then use icon Changer. I won't go into a long ramble on how to. I picked it up pretty quickly.

I can honestly say that my gf could not pick out the one I'd made. Those apps are a god send. If you are into coding great, I'm not but I got a really professional look.

I was after the INex look and got the 3d shading to a tee. Took a bit of trial and error but I wish I'd found these a long, long time ago;)

Hope it helps someone

These new SPH-L710 are very robust. I recently brought a new SG3 from Boost, now its time to root (piece of cake right). A little background first, I have; Samsung Ultra Transform, Samsung Galaxy Player, HTC Evo3D, Kindle Fire HD, all rooted. I tried 3 different methods to root this SPH-L710, after the first method soft bricked my phone, I figured I did something wrong, re-flashed stock rom and tried a different method. Didn't work. CF-Auto-Root ("I'm pretty sure this is gonna work"), tried it, didn't work. I pulled the battery, tried manually from different recoveries, no mount access to san disk. Every method I tried did not install super user, so i downloaded it from play store, several times, using different version and uninstall them when they didn't work before trying a different one. I use esfile explorer to check for root access, still no root. Looked thru the www, and saw several people are also having this issue, I thought it was just me. Is there any workaround or solution out there that I missed or updated method for this model SPH-L710, it seems like this is the only model with this issue. These new phones are great but without root I'm lost, somebody please point me in the right direction.

Thanks for the help, this is the only method that has worked for me. Just in case anyone else comes across this post, I am on boostmobile even though the root instructions says its for sprint only, it has work for me I am now fully rooted! I also followed the instructions to the letter, even reinstalling the drivers I already had, my SPH-L710 works great with root.

Last thing, the easiest way (fool proof) to get into recovery mode is hold VOLUP+Home+Power buttons, the phone will vibrate then show samsung, at that moment ONLY release the power button. your phone will continue to boot to recovery, once in recovery then you can let go of the other buttons.

Problem:

I open the play store and hit the menu key. But all I see now is "settings" and "help". "my apps" and other items are missing. I can no longer update the normal way. I have to wait for one of my apps to request an update in order for me to get to the "my apps" screen. Has this happened to anybody else?

Samsung Galaxy S 4

Rooted

No ROM or kernel installed

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jsyme222:
You now need to select "Apps" from the Play Store home screen and once the App page of the store has opened you need to select the menu button on the upper left corner of the screen where it says "Apps". This will bring up a menu allowing you to select "My Apps".

---------- Post added at 12:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 PM ----------

I'm sorry, I just realized that you simply need to access the menu on the top left of the screen from the Play Store home screen in order to access the "My Apps" page. The menu softkey on the phone will not access this menu, only pressing on the icon on the top left will access it.

watch styler is one of the apps that I consider useless LOL.

Not only is the hour hand always off on a custom face, it freezes up constantly and kills battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] MaTtKs:
My main annoyance with a specific app is miniSquare. It boggles my mind that this app has been broken since day one with no removal or developer communication. Literally no one can use the app, as it only brings up a Korean error.

As a big fourquare user, I really really want this app to work.

Aside from that, I'm still on the negative side as far as my feelings on the marketplace go. Hopefully that changes in the future.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Skeleton:
MINI GALLERY

-------------------

OK, taking your lead, I made another attempt to install Mini Gallery. Nope, it failed to install yet again. Or maybe not? So what happened is that it finally appeared to install and appeared on the Gear. However it seemed to freeze on the watch. After waiting for a couple of minutes I rebooted the Gear and uninstalled it.

Now, after reading your note, I see what might have happened. It was busy scanning my s-phone's thousands of photos stored on my extSDcard. Well then, demanding such a long wait time makes it unusable for me.

QUICK SPEEDOMETER

------------------------------

This app is by the same developer, Symphony Teleca. I tried installing this again, and this time it did load. This makes me think that Samsung's app server might instead be sending a link to the developer's server for downloading. Is this possible? I have only had previous difficulty download the two apps from the same developer.

The app does work. Good. However, I notice something irregular. Only when this app is run on the Gear, its duplicate app appears on the Note-3's notification window as an actively running task. That is because this app needs to poll the s-phone's GPS for data updates, so I presume the developer launches a GPS server service on the s-phone, while on the s-watch is a client service. Later when I stop and quit the app on the Gear, its server app remains active on the Note-3. I must then resort to killing the task on the Note-3 to recover system resources.

I have a suspicion that this might be the fault of Samsung's SDK library and not that of a developer's sloopy program techniques. Regardless, good programming practice, SDK, and libraries should never leave a thread active after the main program has terminated.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] starscrean:
On the contrary my boy Watson.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jmorton10:
Exactly.

The gallery probably works fine if you don't have a ton of images on your MicroSD card, but I just realized I have over 800 images in just one of multiple folders on my 64 gig card.

I've got a sprint galaxy s4, was running 4.2.2 and I had added the hotspot mod by overwriting some files to make that happen. I was attempting to go back to stock in order to update to 4.3 via an Odin3 flash and something happened. I can only boot into the download mode, I can't get into recovery mode at all. If I try to get into recovery, I get the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"

Kies will not recognize my phone. When I plug it into my computer via usb, I hear a notification. Kies attempts to connect, but never does successfully. I have no way of getting my serial number as I can't boot it and it's not listed under the battery cover. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling drivers with no success.

You just have to odin the stock mf9 tar again. I would try a different version of odin, a different usb port, or a different usb cable. Odin will fix your problem, don't use kies. I used odin 3 version 3.07 but I've also had a lot of success with odin 3 ver 1.85 that is included when you download cf autoroot. Also, make sure you are running odin as administrator.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] stombacco:
HI, I've bought a JASJAR few weeks ago and thanks to you I've done many things. Unfortunately, due to my poor experience I guess I'm wasting lot of time in trying understanding things. The most important, is to understand exactly what is ExtRom and why everybody is doing theri own personalized.

THANKS TO ALL!!!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] StevieDvd:
My laymans explanation, others may give a more techy one:

When you hard-reset the operating system and applications that come as standard are stored on a rom and are set back to factory settings. Some network phone provideers (O2, Vodafone, Orange etc) like to customise the phone with extra applications, tweaks and branded screen themes. These are usually loaded straight after the reset.

The main reason you are seeing so many posts about the ext-rom is that some people don't like these added extras (mainly as they seem to make the XDA slower).

The second reason is that the ext-rom can be used to store your own customisations so in the event that you have to hard-reset you can get your XDA back to it's current setup quicker.

It is a bit techy to do as the ext-rom is write protected and hidden.

So basically some are making it visible, write enabling it and adding cab files which are to auto run on a hard-reset.

Lastly, it may be usable as extra storage so watch this space for the best tweaks...

Now it has a system of android 4.0.3,every ROM for general n8010 dosen't work on this one.(A poor guy has tried this,and,thanks th him~!)

When i say, in advanced parameters, to calculate the day of the week with this string: #D$(#DyMM#010000)$f# i obtain 0 if it's sunday, 1 if it's monday and so on. The problem is that i need to obtain 7 if it's sunday, becaus in italian format week start on monday and finish on sunday.

I can't check it in this way: $#D$(#DyMM#010000)$f#=0?7$ because zooper doesn't recognize nested $...

I think the only way is to change the $(expression)$ for math expressions using another char (maybe § or similar).
