[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Chiddy_:
Hello all, i recently installed the Dstv Drifta android app. When i opened the app,it shows me a message that says "this application cannot run on a rooted device".

Is there a way i can block this app from finding out that i have root access?

I really want to use this app,but i don't want to unroot my device.

Please help.

Which app can not be run on rooted device ??
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Chiddy_:
Dstv drifta app. The app is used to watch Dstv on your android device via a wifi satellite.

Play store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...oogle&utm_medium=organic&utm_term=drifta+wifi

Recently the NFL app also didn't run on rooted device

Some games also check for root
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Chiddy_:
Hey guys,i found a way to prevent apps from recognising you have root. If you use SuperSU,go into it. Under the superSU settings menu, uncheck the enable superuser checkbox.

Then open the app afterwards. It shouldn't detect that you have root.

Thanks to [MENTION=3849535]Yenkazu[/MENTION] from the SuperSU thread.

[Moto X General] jayboyyyy:
fyi there are reports that you can downgrade to 4.2.2 on a locked bootloader from 4.4. I didn't think you could but i haven't tried but others are saying on another thread that you can

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=47698477#post47698477
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
My understanding is...

After taking OTA KK, there is no way (with locked bootloader) to revert to 4.2.2.

If you used T-Mo or ATT leaked pre-release 4.4, it depends on what/how you flashed it. i.e. Full Flash, used RSDLite to flash entire FXZ, or just used fastboot to flash "parts"

I am sure there were other posts discussing it. Just too busy at work right now to search for them. :(
[Moto X General] jayboyyyy:
thats what i thought as well but the link i posted in there shows someone saying he was on locked vzw which to my knowledge, they could only have taken the 4.4 ota from verizon, because the tmobile variants out there are not flashable with a locked bootloader.
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
So it seems. Weird. And totally not what I remember. But I don't mind being wrong about this one!!
[Moto X General] rod.gui:
Can I consider option 4: Factory Reset (in settings ) before install kit Kat OTA? (Bootloader locked and no root)

Enviado de meu XT1058 usando Tapatalk
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
If you are not rooted, and therefore haven't used any root needing apps to remove or otherwise mess with system files, there is no need to do anything.
[Moto X General] jayboyyyy:
flip side it seems that we will be able to have root since verizon may be the only carrier that allowed you to downgrade back to 4.2.2 and jcase is putting something together for it. I WILL BE SO STOKED. Verizon does a quick release, and royally screws up hahaha
[Moto X General] RorixRebel:
this post saved me from wiping my phone :3
[Moto X General] jimmydafish:
You do know that VERIZON has nothing to do with the security, boot images, or system files on the device. Though I could care less if people can go back/forth or if jcase releases a root. Also I love to bash Verizon as much as the next but in this instance, well, you seem to be barking up the wrong tree.
[Moto X General] jayboyyyy:
ya i have no idea. didn't try to sound like i did. Just assumed since i thought that ATT couldn't go back to 4.2.2 that meant that the carrier must have something to do with it if Verizon's release of 4.4 does allow you to go back to 4.2.2. I used logic not knowledge so I really don't have an idea at all.
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
Added a few more things to the Initial post.. See.. Edits & Updates...
[Moto X General] robsw:
What if you have an unlocked rooted GSM Developer Edition with TWRP installed? There is an update available, but I can't find a flashable version yet nor a stock ROM or recovery to revert to so I can accept the OTA.
[Moto X General] Coderedpl:
Non developer edition on 4.4 now has root

And it is possible to downgrade to 4.2.2. I've done it multiple times already when testing.
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
Added a couple updates to the OP
[Moto X General] mschumacher69:
AFAIK, u can downgrade the ATT phone back to 4.2.2, but the post-camera ota one.

The GSM DE uses the Retail (TMO) ROM.
[Moto X General] shloho:
I hate 4.4. It eats up my battery. Not normal. Can't get through a day. Whereas before I had 30% left at end of day with more use. Need to figure out how to downgrade.
[Moto X General] mschumacher69:
I read somewhere that they are working on resolving this issue in 4.4.2 which is what's delaying it's release on the Moto X.

You can downgrade by flashing the post-camera ota 4.2.2 sbf using RSDLite.
[Moto X General] shloho:
Can I do it using option 2 as when I upgraded to 4.4 ? I don't want to use rsdlite
[Moto X General] mschumacher69:
Yes, but i find it easier to do it using RSDLite (option 3 or 4). You might have to erase userdata (option 4) anyways because users who have downgraded from 4.4 to 4.2.2 without erasing userdata were stuck in a bootloop.
[Moto X General] shloho:
Oh man. Don't wanna lose data. I also have a nandroid of my 4.2.2. Can't just flash that like back in the epic days huh
[Moto X General] mschumacher69:
I think u can if u have a custom recovery installed. But u would also loose any data since u took the nandroid backup.
[Moto X General] shloho:
I can also do a titanium backup and just restore data when I'm back on 4.2.2. All the data I have now is basically from 4.2.2 because I updated without losing data.

---------- Post added at 06:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 PM ----------

I'm just trying to avoid redoing all my apps. And losing whatsapp data. Etc.
[Moto X General] mschumacher69:
You need to be rooted to be able to backup everything using Ti Backup.

You can backup What's app data from within what's app to the SD card, but make sure u copy it off ur phone because I think u loose ur SD card data as well when u erase userdata or restore a nandroid backup.
[Moto X General] shloho:
Would you know where I can find instructions on restoring nandroid from 4.4 to jb. Before I do it I want to make sure I won't brick
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
Safest way when downgrading is the erase data/apps.

You could TRY to revert without wiping, but if you've opened/used the apps under 4.4 then its 4.4 data.

And to be honest, due to the various parts included in the ROM, besides boot, system, recovery, I would consider OPTION 3, and if you get into a boot loop, then erase data.

Another option if you need to wipe is Appbrain to keep track of all your installed apps, and manually install them after wiping the device. You'll just have to sign back into things. and you will loose data and customization's, etc.
[Moto X General] shloho:
Do you think it would be a problem if I downgrade with losing data , then restore apps with data using TB. No system apps only restore user apps
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
Yes, due to the "without losing data" part if you intend to remain on 4.2.2. I think that is going to be the kicker here.

That being said, I've only read about others attempting to "downgrade" and keep data, and their problems. Whenever I've downgraded, I've always wiped data/apps, but I have used the backup/restore inside apps to keep data (like GO SMS has a backup/restore built in)
[Moto X General] shloho:
Well, aside from lock screen issues kit Kat is working great now. Excellent battery life. I had to fix exchange and that did the trick.
[Moto X General] mschumacher69:
They released an update to Active Notifications which fixes the lock screen issues.

What do u mean by u "had to fix exchange"?
[Moto X General] shloho:
It still has a delay to the lock screen. What I did was that I disabled slide. Not the best solution but... The exchange issue is that there's a Wakelock problem and it eats battery if you're pushing emails to your phone. I set it to fetch and its made a huge difference. You can also replace it with an .apk that's floating around here. There's a thread on it , but I don't know how to link to it on mobile...
[Moto X General] mschumacher69:
Weird, mine doesn't have the delay anymore after it installed the update through the play store. Are u sure u installed the update?
[Moto X General] shloho:
I definitely did. It just goes to lock screen for a second and then opens up. And when I open whatsapp that way it has an even bigger delay.
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
Weird. Kit Kit with the latest moto updates from Play Store fixed my slow downs, and battery issues too. Then again, I don't use Whatsapp, so maybe that is a contributing factor?
[Moto X General] mschumacher69:
I use what's app and it opens immediately from the lock screen!
[Moto X General] shloho:
I wonder if it's because I updated to 4.4 while keeping data... I don't want to do a factory reset tho
[Moto X General] :
Sometimes it's very nice to clear data and start fresh .... For serious.

Of course titanium backup can keep everything safe.... If you have root.

But I like to wipe occasionally and start fresh.... Avoids issues later with junk piling up. And frees up storage. ;)

Sent from my Moto X cell phone telephone.....
[Moto X General] shloho:
I may just have to do that... :(
[Moto X General] shloho:
If I wipe data , will it delete what's on internal SD? I don't want to lose root either...
[Moto X General] :
Wiping data doesn't wipe you sd.. only wiping the sd will.

Depends what you do weather or not you lose root..
[Moto X General] shloho:
Just wiping data to start fresh on 4.4. I have unlocked bootloader so either way is fine I guess

[Nexus 5 Accessories] tcat007:
Anyone order this case from Amazon and received it yet?

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GDJCQE0/ref=pe_385040_30332200_pe_309540_26725410_item

This "use to" go to a Nexus 5 product, it's pretty much the same. Ordered it 11/8, supposed to be delivered today, but received no shipping notice, now Amazon shows unavailable if you search "AceAbove Google Nexus 5 Case Slim [Black] Protective Stand Case for Nexus 5". Just wondering if this was a real product or the advertizing got ahead of the production. Have a similar one for my N7 that I really like.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tcat007:
Finally received this case! So far looks good, everything important is exposed. Didn't realize the Nexus 5 had the same magnetic on/off as the Nexus 7; this case supports that. Adds almost nothing to the x-y dimensions of the n5, just some thickness. Seems to protect it well. Nice built in stand for landscape (which I'll probably never use).

[Xperia Z General] Destroyedbeauty:
This update is already out, for carrier specific phones though..
[Xperia Z General] anirudhks:
yes.. no change log from sony as well
[Xperia Z General] Destroyedbeauty:
.74 FW is the same as .67 FW - just different baseband on .74, more carrier bloat and T-Mobile (?) exclusive.. That is why there is no changelog from Sony.
[Xperia Z General] anirudhks:
I am from singapoire and dont use T mobile so mine is pretty much generic still the update appeared..
[Xperia Z General] anirudhks:
Actually i am on custom ROM Extizen V4.1 which is based on .67
[Xperia Z General] msc3169:
Your kernel is still .67 version thats why you are getting the notification because the ROM is .74 based
[Xperia Z General] anirudhks:
yes this makes more sense now...

Hi

First post. Will try not to look the idiot or ask what has already been asked. Here goes, I am unable to find a kernel that actually improves my phone, i currently have the following -

Nexus 4

ROM - PSX V1

Moto x mod (great addition)

Stock kernel

I have tried two or three kernels including the new Trinity one which gave me a worse performance. Would someone point me in the right direction?

Could i also say a big thanks to PSX developer for a great ROM.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rlumby:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rlumby:
Right after a bit of trial and error I reckon I have cracked it.

PSX v1

Moto x

Trinity kernel

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
Improvement is a subjective in this context. In what way? Faster? More features? Better battery life? Better sound quality? Better color? Smoother?

Benchmark means nothing. It is possible to apply the Samsung's dalvik cheat patch to your rom which will increase your benchmark score but yield no real world performance. With some settings you might get great benchmark, but the phone might get hot with poor battery life. Moreover, most benchmark programs do not tell the real story about performance. Antutu and Geekbench doesn't even work correctly with 4.4 and ART. iOS7 might get good scores sunspider javascript, but there are times when Android web performance outright beat it.

This thread falls in the category of "What is the best kernel/rom?" which is against XDA rules so I can;t help you. Research each kernel and read about its features and users feedback and find what is right for you. A lot of time stock kernel will give the best stability and battery life.

I use kernels mainly for features. There are other bigger factors about the operating system that determine battery life and performance.

What I wanted was faster and this certainly is faster. So I'm happy. Thanks for all your help.

my i9000 often gets stuck in the bootanimation, im using latest Hellybean from 27.10.13. It runs pretty smooth, but sometimes when i simply reboot my phone, it just gets stuck in the animation. I have no idea, why this happens.

Does anyone have any idea, what is the source of this problem or does anyone have similar problems and was able to fix or lessen that bug?

Not sure if anyone else has experienced this or not. On my last few devices (Galaxy S3 and S4, Note 2, Nexus 4) I was able to stream photos I have taken on my device to my XBOX 360 with the same clarity as the photo. When I do this with my G2, the quality is horribly grainy and extremely poor quality. I at first thought it was my device, but when I save a photo from the web and stream it, the quality of the photo is perfect.

The issue seems to be the stock LG Camera app. If a photo is taken with Instagram app for example, and that image is streamed from the gallery just as I would a image taken from the stock app, the instagram photo is much better quality.
