Hello,

I have a PC and laptop running off a wireless LAN and i was wondering how i can get my O2 Exec to connect to it automaticly?

Thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Melty:
I don't think you can make it magically connect when it is in close proximity (like Bluetooth car kit or whatever) and to have the wireless always on would drain the battery anyway, but I have a similar setup at home and after the first time I connected to my WLAN I can now do so simply by turning on the wireless connectivity on my device (which I do by cicking on the notification icon in the title bar). It takes practically zero time to do this.

'Normal' method should be harmless...

I once used it to root my Medion Lifetab MD 99300 (S9714) aka Lenovo A2110 tablet.

It seems /data/local/tmp has decent permissions

$ ls -ald /data/local/tmp

drwxrwx--x shell shell 2013-01-01 01:04 tmp

I may want to try v33 again myself (but then I have to use Linux script which is perhaps less used than Windows one)

Thanks for kind words.

I am not a public hacker (that is: I never came up with any original

understand what some hackers do (especially when those heroes

explain well).

For the e2 sm-g3815 rooting, I have hope that kernelchopper style

exploit, in particular the xdej variant, may help one drop device in

root shell. Whatever next is up to our imagination.

I did try xdej kernelchopper style exploit, but console hangs. Maybe

our beloved e2 sm-g3815 needs a little tweak.

Perhaps we should convince Chainfire to consider SM-G3815 for CF-Auto-Root.

[General Questions and Answers] :
I should correct:

SM-G3815 has KNOX apks in ROM

but on fastboot screen it does not mention KNOX counter

(or does it on someone else's device?)
[General Questions and Answers] aureljared:
I reckon that it is on the user's decision that KNOX is installed.

I don't know if this is correct but on my mom's S3 (recently updated to 4.3), there was a link on the homescreen to download and install KNOX (which I dutifully removed and hid from the app drawer). I reckon that her download mode does not have KNOX.

So basically I think that the 118MB download from the KNOX installer also contains the KNOX-enabled bootloader.

Just my two cents :-/

Still nothing for a custom ROM for this device? :confused::confused::confused::(:(:(
[General Questions and Answers] :
Hi Mario9662

I do not think it is harder to make a custom ROM for this device than for any other one.

It just happens nobody does so. Perhaps no developer owns a sm-g3185.

It is a decent device, IMO.

Personally I feel fine with stock ROM and root (and CWM). So I can delete/move/update whatever from to wherever without loosing some not so bad Samsung features (agreed I delete the Samsung bloatware).

One day I tried to deodex / zipalign ROM (something I always do for other devices) but some apps misbehaved (not sure why) so I reverted back.

Also, 8GB intern is not all that much, so I have a 64GB extSD and I use Link2SD for all my apps (except Link2SD itself).

I also added a 3GB swap space partition on the extSD.

The device is really powerfull and smooth and has a good battery life. I have hundreds of apps.

Samsung seems to provide new stock ROMs every now and then (see SamMobile). I feel fine with the original one for Belgium and monitor SamMobile for interesting upgrades. I think I will only upgrade if

- either a Belgium specific 4.2.2

- or any >4.2.2

I see a N in red circle on the 1x1 Software Upgrade widget. Not sure if others see it, I guess it could mean there is an upgrade, but I do not see one on SamMobile (yet) and Samsung correctly complains my device is modified ;)
