Dear All,

This is my first post in this community. I hope the question is relevant in this forum.

Is there any android app that shows all communications from a contact? In particular, the app shows all communications from Mike (say) through:

1. Call logs.

2. SMS, MMS.

3. Emails.

4. Whatsapp.

5. Facebook.

6. Hangout.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Saugata

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pseudohybrid:
First time poster, long time user of XDA...I tend to lurk.

Anyway, I just rooted, TWRP'd, and downloaded the newest PA for my LG G2 (ATT) but when I went to wipe, I accidentally clicked internal storage. So I'm stuck in TWRP right now. I decide to try my hand at side-loading, but I get the error message of: error: device not found. I checked device manager and the G2 is listed as an "Other Device" with an exclamation point on it. I go to load the driver... Can't find one.

Does anyone have any idea what driver I can use so the system will recognize my G2? I'd rather not go back to stock just to re-root/recovery/install. I have all the current drivers from LG, but as this is the G2 in recovery mode, I don't know how to get it recognized.

Thank you, in advance, for any help!

If you're using windows 8 then you'll have to disable driver signing to install the adb driver. Google it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluntman420:
Google universal adb driver (i think by koush). I had the same issue. I am on Windows 8 and didn't have to disable anything.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkobas:

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pseudohybrid:
Thanks for the responses everyone!

I actually faked the device by using PDA net. It installed a generic lg driver for my G2, then adb was able to recognize the device and side load after that.

Hope this helps someone in the future.

Not yet i suspect someone will make a better root later on as of now this is linux only. This exploit uses of linux commands for injecting code into a system application to gain root.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] skinnyquiver:
I will be updating the first post later on with steps and screenshots on how to do this on a ubuntu live instance (I may even throw in a shell script so you run it and then wait forever while it does the setup and starts the root. I will see what i can do.)

So it's certainly exciting to see root for this guy after owning it now for a couple of years.

I believe with root we'll be able to get rid of some bloat and stuff unneeded but I'm assuming we'll stay on Honeycomb.

I'd like to figure out what the real upside to this is.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] skinnyquiver:
You should be able to use this root with the 5.7 before going to honeycomb. This way you can have gingerbead rooted if your device came with the 5.7 update. I would like to get this running cm9 or cm10. The first problem with this is it will require a new kernal. I am going to be moving this weekend so it will be a while until I can get a build env to work on this. I plan on using this tablet to learn all about android rom making. Hope I don't brick it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] skinnyquiver:
As Vizio has not released the kernel source I think we may want to look at using the xo-3 kernel.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] unqualified:
Everything seems like it works, everything says 'success', but root checker is showing no root. I had force closes on the System UI before rebooting it a second time.

I tried it straight from a factory reset, just to be sure, same issue.I'm on 3.2.1 on this Vtab.

Not sure what is missing? Anything I should check?

I had this problem also in the first time .. try to check if java is installed and working well .. try to check if ADB driver is identified on ur pc ..

I am thinking it is just a java problem .. did u type the commands in the shell " just wondering " this will not work if u didnt type the commands and follow the steps ..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] unqualified:
Thanks for all the suggestions! I was surprised so many people responded on such a forgotten tablet.

I did enter the two commands in the shell (copied and pasted the exact commands) at the appropriate times, and they appeared to work.

I wasn't able to do the ADB setup exactly per the link on the OP, because my computer already recognizes the VTAB1008 under debugging mode, and runs ADB. If I try to uninstall and manually install the generic driver from the Skinny Root zip, it re-discovers and says the current driver is 'more current'. However, since 'adb devices' recognizes the vtab, and all the commands appear to be working, I should be good to go with ADB, right? Or is the generic driver from the Skinny Root zip file a critical component?

I also uninstalled Java SDK for x86 and re-installed for 64 just in case, but that didn't fix it.

Also tried disabling antivirus, no luck...

Is there a basic way to check whether java is working correctly? Or to read the java output as it is running the commands? Maybe something would show up there.

Thanks again
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FadeFx:
Do u see superuser app installed? If so, what does it output when you open it?

This was successful on my VTAB, but only after doing a factory reset first.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] unqualified:
Looks like it took!

Weird. I kept running 'root checker' first right after everything would complete, just to see if I had root, and kept showing 'not properly rooted', even though Superuser.apk had been installed each time. But then I opened superuser in order to answer your question, and noticed it was showing an SU installed... which seems pretty definitive that it is in fact rooted. I went back to Root Checker again, and it finally confirmed root! I guess I didn't think you needed to open the actual Superuser app directly, but thinking back I must have on the last phone I rooted, without realizing it was a step.

Anyway, thanks again! And to answer a previous question, I was using Windows 7.

Looking forward to using Titanium Backup, uninstalling/freezing some bloat, blocking ads, etc. If a more recent ROM could be ported (maybe even CM11 or AOKP KitKat for the lower spec requirements?), that would also be awesome, but root alone should breathe new life into this thing.

Not relevant for this thread, but I was able to obtain root on the Gingerbread .57 update using Cydia Impactor. This Honeycomb root works great! I did a few modifications to the rom and it is SO SMOOTH now. Would like to see some AOSP roms appear on it. I thought of learning programming more to try and attempt that, but I will continue to botch this stock rom more.

Correct, the Build number. I have not tried Cydia on Honeycomb yet. I tried to do it on a Windows 8 machine and kept reporting an APK error of some sort.

I have both Gingerbread and Honeycomb update.zip's. I could flash back with the stock recovery and try it on Honeycomb. Skinny's root didn't to take with GB running when I attempted.

I contacted Vizio and the customer support agent said congratulations on the root and they said I should contact cyanogenmod to get CM on it... haha lol.. Vizio also said they don't care about the Vizio Tablet anymore and said they dont make them anymore
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FadeFx:
You took the wrong approach, we need to make clear that vizio HAS to release kernel sources by law. It actually does not matter if we have root or want to port whatever custom rom to the device. We need to be able to verify that vizio has not built any malicious software (spyware or whatever) into those devices. If they do not release sources, they have sold all devices illegally due to not comliying to licences for the software they used.
