I've rooted all of my Androids: T-Mobile my touch, Galaxy S, Galaxy S2; but, like a lot of you, I have been very impressed by the G2's performance and customizability and haven't rooted. I do really want to get xposed for even deeper customization and some camera fixing mods, but one major thing holding me back is that I might want to upgrade early through T-Mobile's jump program(gflex or g pro2!!). As long as I revert back to stock it should be fine right? The counter(or whatever it is that can tell if you have rooted/installed a custom ROM) gets reset so there are no signs of ever rooting. Correct? I don't know exactly how it works on LG phones with partial root and whatnot, but that's my concern.

Haha to stay on topic with the OP though, I would say in this case rooting can only help you. We all know that not every phone is created equally and you probably just got unlucky... Although the carrier bloat doesn't help either. I vote go for it! I think I might do it too. Keeping it completely stock with a few mods would be killer. Cheers!

What are people using to debloat and stay rooted? Was there a list to debloat somewhere? Thx in advance
[G2 General] something_new:
Does anyone know if there is a market app that will take a screen shot for a non rooted phone sprint version, and maybe a tether app. Thats about the only two things i miss. I will eventually root but for now i've only had phone since 02/15 and enjoying the stock right now coming from an htc supersonic with no wimax service in my area to this with full 4g in my area is like night and day

Edit: just found out to do a screen shot just need to tether
[G2 General] noppoer2:
Screen shot is volume down + power button
[G2 General] carrman17:
Well, I gave in and rooted. I installed xposed and so far I am liking the customizability. I purchased titanium backup pro to use with my galaxy s2 a year and a half ago and installed it to my G2. It's very useful for freezing and uninstalling unwanted apps. Highly recommended! So far, no regrets with rooting!
[G2 General] se1988:
If you can't think of why you need root, then don't. If you would like even more Android awesomeness then do. That's my advice ;)

[G2 General] nismology:
Pretty much this. And some people act like it takes two hours straight of typing code in terminal to root this device. It literally takes seconds and the only difference initially is a SuperSU icon. It's as painless a process as it gets (if one is so inclined).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jacklulu:
I have read about asking for the better/faster ROM... But my question is a bit different... I have some battery issues...so i thought that could be a reasonable solution finding a very stable ROM and remove all apps and services apart from phone, mesagges, browser and whatsapp...so...i'd like to ask what ROM could be the best for this aim? Stock one? Cm official (9 i believe)? Or someone else? (I don't need an higher android version...just stability, speed (in this normal action) and surely battery life...)

Thank you for answers :):)

Hi, I'm trying to recreate your scripts to run on a Galaxy note 3 but they scripts always fail using SManager and end up getting killed. I've used a header like yours and the same pm disable command. Do you have any suggestions or ideas?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
I use Android Tuner to remove most of this, and more. system/framework can also have a treatment. But be careful there.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Antiga Prime:
Does the script fail or does it return "killed" for these processes?

I'm guessing it will most likely return "killed" for most processes, if not all, because these specific apps have to be running on your phone, and samsung has totally different apps. You'd have to figure out which processes you don't want and disable/freeze them (with Titanium Backup, for instance).

Once you've disabled them and want to create a faster process for doing so, say if you'd want to reinstall your OS, you can run the "pm list packages -d" (or "pm list packages -d > /sdcard/packages.txt") in a terminal window or ADB shell, which will output the names of the disabled apps, which you then copy/paste into the script.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] mlin:
Okay, thanks. Yeah, I used "package name viewer" to identify the names of packages to disable then manually entered them, in the same format you did, into a text file using Notepad++. I saved the file as a .txt and as a .sh and tried running it with SManager but got the killed message. I'll try again.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] draftbeer89:
I put my tablet in a leather sleeve then put into my leather bag. Rushed to catch my early morning train and outdoor temperature was about -2 degrees celsius and it was snowing. When I reached the train station and finally inside the train, I opened my tablet. When the screen turned on I noticed something odd about the display. There were 2 dark spots about the size of my thumb along the bottom edge of the screen (landscape). I tuned it of hoping that it will be normal once I restarted the thing. But I am unable to turn it back on now. Tried button combinations to go to odin mode, not working. Tried to plug in charger no reaction, nothing on the screen.

Has anybody else experienced this? Is there a resolution to this or should I just take it to the service center?

i want to restore the stock fonts that came with my phone. i accidently deleted 1 or 2. My device is rooted and i am still on stock rom until i can get the KitKat one lick installer to actually work.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rommelrommel:
Hi, all

I have an S4, the I9505. I wanted to install a new KitKat-rom, the I9505_-_Official_Google_Edition_4.4.2_by_Jamal2367_Final-R1.2.

Then I wiped the device (I'm using CWM philz_touch_6.09.6-jfltexx.tar) but when installing the ROM, I get a weird '7'-error,

I forgot the real error.

Anyways: I thought: forget it and let's go back to stock.

So I rebooted in recovery, wiped/factory reset my s4 and rebooted. But it just comes back in Recovery?

What's wrong?

So then I thought: let's ODIN a factory-ROM, which I can download from SAMFIRMWARE.COM but since the file is

bigger than 1Gb I need to pay. Well, I don't care about the 5 euro's but I don't want to leave my creditcard stuff behind.

Any other options??

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Repulsa:
Download and Flash Philz Recovery 6.09.2 via recovery then reboot recovery and then do a fullwipe and flash the Custom rom you want and you wont get that Error 7 anymore :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rommelrommel:
Thanks, but ... your link wad dead. Did some searching, saw a newer version (6.13.1 from Feb 6).

Installed that without issues.

Booted in recovery, factory reset + davlik , installed the ZIP.

Same error: Status 7.

Or should I have used only the version you mentioned?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Repulsa:
When i was clickin the file i gave you, it works tho :) but Yea feel free to download that version 6.09.2 and you should be fine flashing any custom rom.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBeast:
Because of this error, yes, it won't boot to system. Been there. You should've made a backup. I just restored it and voila.

That error "status 7" seems to be the problem with Philz recovery, when I switched to TWRP I was able to flash any rom no problems.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rommelrommel:
Hm, thanks again, I think there's much more going on.

I downloaded a 4.3 STOCK-rom, and in download-mode I was able to get a working phone again.

That is: apparently everything works BUT I cannot enable WIFI.

I saw another thread on that for a different phone.

But ... this is a phone from my employer ... I now have the KNOX Waranty VoId set to 0x1

I guess this is the reason for not being able to switch on WIFI ...

If I try to switch on wifi I get a security notice:

'your device's security has blocked an action that is not permitted. No further action is required'

If I pres on App-info, it comes out of KNOX ...

I guess this is also the reason for the Status-7 error ....
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rommelrommel:
SOLVED!

When i was looking for the factory-ROM I ended at SamMobile. According to that page I 'landed' on, the latest factory-ROM for the I9505

was for 'Montenegro'.

I then downloaded the one specific for the Netherlands (where I live) and used ODON directly on top of the Montenegro-version,

no factory-reset.

After booting, WiFi was back aain, message about KNOX is gone. It's even rooted again, so it all works.

Yes, I still have the KNOX warranty Void 0x1 but I can access corporate e-mails so good to go.

The problem is when I don't have a contact (like my 9 month's child, for instance). How do I solve it?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigpoppapaul:
I'm normally the problem solver type and will Google the crap out of anything before asking for help. This is one of those times where I haven't found a solution.

I have a unrooted Note 2 with stock 4.3. Before the upgrade from 4.1.2, I didn't experience these issues. They're minor issues but enough of an annoyance that I'd like some help.

Issue 1. (this issue began after 4.3) When connecting a headset for music, if I attempt to use the headset buttons to control playback, they ONLY work on the stock Samsung music player. If I try to use them on any other player, they will simply start the music player. I've attempted to disable the stock player and that option is greyed out. OCCASIONALLY the headset controls will work with music player I'm using (Rocket Player) so I'm figuring there HAS to be a way to make it consistent. What am I missing?

Issue 2. When I connect to a Bluetooth speaker, the bluetooth controls only occasionally work in controlling playback. Sometimes when I connect the controls work beautifully, other times, not at all. (this is with the stock music player as the controls only work on that when they do work) This issue only started after a factory reset post upgrading to 4.3

Any ideas?

Hello all,

This is my first message and I would like to thank in advance to all whom have anything to say.

I just got myself an SM-P602 in Turkey. 602 is a variant of 601 which lacks the phone function (Maybe some other stuff as well).

It came with Android 4.3 preloaded and installed a couple security updates during the first boot. Now here's the current system info:

Android version: 4.3

Baseband version: P602JVUAMJ2

Kernel version: 3.4.39-1682900 / se.infra@R02010-11 #1 / Tue Oct 14 18:19:14 KST 2013

Build numer: JSS15J.P602JVUAMJ2

SELinux status: SEPF_SM-P602_4.3_0002

There is a video on Youtube (Unfortunately can't post a link because it's my first message) which shows this feature on a SM-P600. His Kernel version is higher than mine (3.4.39-2040736).

Now I want to know if there's a way to upgrade the kernel to get the multi user support (I guess it's available on P602JVUAMJ4). It's not rooted, but I might take that path if necessary.

Again, thanks a lot in advance

Unfortunately, I've never come across any way to restore efs. That doesn't mean it can't be done but I researched how to back it up for my phone and didn't see anything in my travels. So your friends are probably right. But you'll have to restore it to complete stock (undo root, use triangle away, etc) before you can send it in. I'm sure you know they won't fix it if it's been modified. Sorry man...

Hi,

I've the same issue with P5113.

If you can use Download Mode, I think that you can install PhilZ Touch or TWRP. I succed

After, you caninstall a very old Official ROM 4.0.4 and finally have a root with Expresso

But ...

You can only use a factory mode, without all the fonctions and some bugs.

After 2 weeks, I'm still at this point. Noway to rebuild EFS Folder.

I've read that we can restore this directory but I can't find it on web.

In fact, I think that there's not so sensitive informations in EFS, because Tab 2 have no EMEI (Instead 3G Tab).

I hope you can find the soluce, I try to find something with Linux, maybe a format tool

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sergiotca:
While driving I always hook up my cellphone (in this case a Nexus 5) to my car stereo via bluetooth for music streaming. And out of an irrational fear of battery draining too fast, I always keep the cellphone volume as low as possible and rather pump up the volume rocker on the car stereo itself.

Lately I've been wondering if the volume level on the cellphone (while bluetooth streaming) actually makes any difference on battery consumption.

I mean is not like the cellphone speakers are being used, but still getting the cellphone volume up actually makes the car speakers sound louder so... what do you say?

I've search info on this question across the web to no avail (It may be a silly one anyway but still... enlighten me please :p).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwrmedia:
Can't imagine that it would, since the bluetooth service is running regardless of volume level, and battery usage is predicated on the time the service keeps your phone awake.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffsf:
While I can imagine that there is a theoretical, but completely miniscule difference in sending audio where the high bits are always zero (it might compress a hair better), I can't believe that it would have any impact on your battery life.

For best audio quality you want to use as many bits as you can when in digital -- less background noise and low-level distortion. That means turning the BT volume up and the car volume down. Unless you've got your tone, bass boost, thump-thump-erator, or other effects turned on, that means basically max BT volume on the phone.
