[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr hOaX:
The benefit of installing a custom recovery is that you can restore your stock backup in case of issues like boot loop

I suggest you to install custom recovery

It will be harmless for your device and will prove like a life saver ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackdragon12:
Alright, so following the guide posted on the previous page (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2507905) should get me all setup with root! BUT, how will future OTA updates work if I go this route?

EDIT: also, which recovery do you guys recommend? I have CWM on my S3, so what are the advantages of TWRP other than touch?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Have a look in the OTA Help-desk thread. You can still receive OTA with custom recovery, you just have to manually boot into recovery to flash it. You must uninstall the xposed framework files (not the xposed installer app) for OTA to work.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackdragon12:
So everytime you get an OTA update you must uninstall Xposed?

Also, if I flash a custom recovery, won't that be another red flag if I have issues and have to send the phone back to google?

EDIT:

So basically, I want to keep my phone as close to stock as possible. I think the best method is:

-follow the guide to unlock bootloader

-install SuperSU from the play store for root access

-install my rooted apps

-relock bootloader using BootUnlocker v1.4 incase the phone as future issues - google will accept it for warranty since bootloader will be locked.

Will my rooted apps work after I relock the bootloader?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Have you read the sticky threads?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackdragon12:
Yeah, and it seems if you root and install a custom recovery, you will need to flash future updates.

My only concern is if you have a hardware defect in the future and you cannot reflash and unroot/relock bootloader on your phone (because it won't recognize), are you SOL because your warranty will be void?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Keep your bootloader locked

Yesterday, in my ROM thread, and argument arose that was completely immature on my part, and I would like to tell the community that I am sorry for those actions. I would specifically like to apologize to [MENTION=4282187]mugetsu666[/MENTION] for my actions, my words were harsh and uncalled for, and I sincerely apologize.

Also, I would like to add one thing just to clear the air. I am not a kanger. True, I have done some things here on XDA in my past that were negative, and that I myself find disgraceful to the community. However, I have moved past my old ways, and I always ask for permission to use someone's work before I do. I would like to become a part of the HTC One community, not a problem, so if you see me doing something that maybe perceived as distasteful, please let me know via a PM, and I will work with you. However, if you come at me via my thread, in the open, I tend to act a little immature, which I apologize for and will do my best to correct. Thank you.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeltaBlast:
Hi,

Since a week or so now, my Samsung Galaxy S3 with a rooted Android 4.1.2 "sort of" freezes randomly. And with "sort of" I mean that animations and such (can) keep running, it just doesn't respond to any kind of imput anymore. I had it freeze on a youtube video, but the video kept playing till it was done (but it didn't continue like it would afterwards, so the process definitely froze too).

I have no clue what sets it off. I've had it freeze while using navigation, while browsing, while typing, while taking a photo, while turning the screen off (it will just stay on forever), anything. Sometimes it freezes 5 times in 5 minutes, sometimes it freezes only once a day. In all cases, the only way to get it back to life is by taking the battery out and putting it back. Waiting doesn't do anything.

I thought it might be a memory card problem, but I unmounted the card and got the problem again just now.

I figured I'd download an app that writes logfiles to see what is happening, but all those programs don't work anymore with the current version, due to that the programs only have access to their own logs now.

Does anyone have a clue to what might cause this, or a way to troubleshoot further and try and find the solution?

Thanks!

I rooted and installed a custom ROM back in October. Recently she has had problems with the phone hanging or crashing altogether.

The problem is I can't remember what ROM I had installed and I can't seem to find the name of it anywhere in the menus!

But, can I just download a new ROM should I want to and install? It's rooted and the bootloader is unlocked.
[Motorola Atrix HD] chococomaxim:
The info should be in the "About Phone" section in settings.

I would recommend getting a more up-to-date ROM. You would have to wipe the data off your phone and flash the new ROM.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] My_Sx66:
Hey guys

I was wondering if anyone can help me with fixing my touch screen option. It hasnt been working, and No i didnt drop the PDA or anything, my screen is as bright as new, but suddenly sisnce yesterday it stopped working and no soft reset or hard reset can fix this.

My phone is a SX66 of Cingular (AT&T varient)

I have been using this for almost a year without any problems at all.

UPDATE

Amid all the hard resets, all of a sudden. once my touch screen started working. but just after few mins of use it slowly started malfunctioning and finally it stopped totally. Which kinda leads me to believe that there may be a software/firmware glitch !

So I downgraded to my original system and extended roms. hard resetted, but didnt work (since i cant by pass the touch screen alignment tests, im using a remote PC based software to control my PDA as its synced through USB)

Now heres my help query. I observed that doesnt matter what ROMs (system, extended, radio etc) i have upgrade or downgrade my PDA splash screen remained as the one i originally changed to, same goes with the unlocking of my GSM PDA, i never had to use unlocker ever after the 1st time i did it.

Which means. theres a place in the PDA where these information are stored permanently and doesnt get flushed when u flush ROMs. Im guessing what if theres the TOUCHSCREEN initiation file/firmware/software which kicks in everytime when u start the PDA from the same place which doesnt get flushed. And that Touchscreen enable/disable file is either accidentally disabled or corrupt !

Is there any such file of the touch screen initiation ?

Is there any way I can remove any such files from registry, storage and copy back fresh ones ? That way i would sure its a hardware glitch and not a software. Like I said, my gut feeling is there may be a touchscreen initiation file which doesnt get flushed even when ur upgrading or downgrading the ROMs; and that file is either Disabled or Corrupt.

Can any developers help ? Would be kind if you can pass this queries to our very good friends at the xda-developers.

Thanks

[G2 Themes and Apps] santacruzdz:
The reason why you have black text instead of white is due to different type of xml's in the rom Rayglobe than the Pardus one...otherwise it works fine I think on some other roms. The update concerns the black text in the contact area, now it is fixed...but once again I can only assure that this works on the Pardus VIII.

If someone could get this working on the LS-980 (Sprint), I would gladly donate ten or fifteen bucks for their efforts. With past phones, I almost always used custom ROMs and third-party apps, but I actually like stock LG apps, I just wish the messaging app had better customization options. This version of the messaging app is exactly what I'm looking for, and I think it would be more than fair to give something back in exchange for it.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] richard.elgh:
Hello there people!

I've installed a custom rom and would like to add some apps as system apps.

I thought I'd use Root Explorer to do this.

I copied my apps to SD-card, and from there to /system/app/ and changed permissions.

Still, my apps does not come up in my launcher.

Have I done anything wrong?

Thanks for the help!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
If the apps you install are not compatible with the android version you're using they won't show up. The quickest way to check this is to doubleclick the .apk on the sd-card and see if it will install.. They will be in your user/app if they do, but you can move them from there to /system/app if you want. If they give an error when installing they're not compatible.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] richard.elgh:
They are compatible with the Androidversion, that much I know.

But they will not install if I doubleclick on them. That didn't work with another rom either, but it worked installing them using Root Explorer.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
If it worked they would show up in your launcher.. If they won't install using the 'normal' method, they are not compatible with your phone.

I find the T-Mobile stock apps bloated and I suspect they're eating away at my battery. I want to get rid of them and reduce bloat/battery problems. The question is what ROM?

I also don't want to lose all my current customizations and I don't want to lose any features of going to a ROM... I'd love some suggestions. I'm not looking for "best" as that's probably a very personal preference for everyone... I'm looking for what a large percentage or majority of users use... From all my searching and googling, it looks like Cynogenmod is a very popular one.

I just can't figure out if I lose any features from the stock T-Mobile rom... or not...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] baseballfanz:
If you want to keep Touchwiz/T-Mobile features you need to flash a ROM base on TWz firmware. Look at dbombROM or Wicked.

ROM like CM are compiled from open sources and usually will not have those TWz features (a couple of things have been ported to work but not much).
