[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v418h4v:
Hi guys i guess most of you have seen android l, but i had a question that will s2 gt-i9100 get android l rom? I know that s2 wont get an official release as they stopped it at 4.1.2 but will we get android l rom by cyanogenmod because galaxy s2 already got 4.4.4 roms :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lionelsuyog:
Yeah, for sure S2 will get it! It wont be official, but via Cyanogenmod! Its an armv7 device and will support ART!

PRESS THANKS IF IT HELPED ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v418h4v:
yay! :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kokesh:
It will come in some shape, but it may not be a perfect experience, as most devs rightfuly gave up on S2 due to all the crap (not) coming from Samsun.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v418h4v:
I dont think devs completely gave up on s2 because since s2 stopped at 4.1.2 devs got it all the way up to 4.4.4 with cyanogenmod based roms and they seem to work flawlessly. Some of the kitkat roms for s2 are official by cyanogenmod:)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v418h4v:
I just cant wait for the android l to release, i did some research and they say that it might arrive from 23rd september - 23rd december but when 4.4.4 was released s2 got the rom in 3-4 days :) i just love those animations on android l
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alivevil:
Dude,i think you are wrong!

yes it's ture S2 it's kind of old. BUT! if you just give S2 Developing Thread a visit you will see that it has many Custom roms and lot's of good Dev's are still working on it!

Samsung Galaxy SII still have more Custom Roms and Mods than Some New Smart phones.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kokesh:
All the main devs are gone. Once there will be bigger change in lets acceleration handling in new Android release, S2 will be done. Once S3 will be done with updates, there won't be any way for S2 to be mended by hacking stuff from other similar devices. I've happily sold my old S2 for the same price I've paid for the phone to my operator throughout the years and got Xperia Z2. S2 was great, but it was Samsung and that made it die prematurely. Never ever Samsung.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uZzY94:
Hello!

In my opinion I don't like the screen transition of Sense. I mean when u open a app the way the animation goes to the new app.

Is there any way to change that?

Currently using ViperONE 6.2.1on Android 4.4.2 Sense 6.

Thx!

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zippyt:
Is it possible to use the G900S model on the Verizon network in the United States?

The Verizon Rep I talked to believed that the bands available in this model were likely not compatible with Verizon's network (and he was unable to get the device registered or to locate a network). He actually referred me here (to xda-developers) as the definitive group of smart people to check with.

I'm not familiar with more advanced options (flashing ROMs, others that have come up in searches) so I apologize if this question has already been answered.

Thank you!

[Micromax A106 Unite 2] Forever Alone:
Okay guys, so I know you want to port ROMs yourself, but you still ask for developers to port ROMs for you. I like noobs and I like supporting them, so here's a porting ZIP. The ZIP can port Any MT6582 ROM to Micromax Unite 2 without need to open and make changes in original ROM! Look great? Let's see how it will work!

1. Backup your current ROM!!!!

2. Open the META-INF folder of the ROM to port and delete lines like "format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p5")" or any line which formats the partition [Do it only with Notepad++ or any other GNU editor, but don't do it with Notepad/Wordpad etc. ZIP it again.

2. Format /System and make a factory reset.

3. Flash any MT6582/MT6582M ROM in your Micromax Unite 2.

4. Flash my "ROM_Porter_Micromax_Unite_2.zip" after flashing your ROM.

5. Reboot! :D

~Bug Fixing guide:

1. If the UI appears to be upside down, then change a line with "hw.rotation" to 180..! If there is no such line then add "ro.sf.hwrotation=180" line in build.prop ANYWHERE!!

2. If the ROM seems to be 'zoomed' in or 'not fitting screen', then edit a line with "ro.sf.lcd_density=XX" to "ro.sf.lcd_density=213" or add "ro.sf.lcd_density=213" line in build.prop if you cannot find any line like that!

3. There is a loop in bootanimation: Just change "bootclasspath" in init.rc which is inside the boot.img [Don't ask me how to do this, just google it out!].. if porting Color OS, then newbies, don't do this because it needs many changes in init.rc.

:

Click here.

How To Release a ROM after bugs fixed!:

1. Wipe userdata.

2. Make a Nandroid backup using any recovery [CWM recommended!]

3. Upload the Nandroid backup.

4. Ask users to download the "Backup_x_x_x" folder and place it in "SDcard/Clockworkdmod/Backup/" folder and restore that Nandroid backup!! :D

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] themarker0:
Hey all, need some advice here. Got a i317m (Telus, Canada, but it's the same as this so I figured I'd ask) and I miss the hidden apps feature that got lost in an update. I need to hide apps from the launcher, so many useless apps or apps I need once in a while but it's useless to in stall every two weeks, and of course, banking apps.

I saw an app hider in the store that requires a rooted phone.

I've been told I can add a custom launcher, but I'm not sure if that gets rid of the current ones.

And then I can put a custom rom on, or an older one.

Here is what I'm asking, which is the easiest, because I tried to put Cyangenmod and it just wouldn't go for some reason. It's out of warranty so I don't really care. ^__^.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ojai00:
Custom launchers like Nova and Apex run as an additional option and do not replace the stock launcher. You can always uninstall it if you don't like it. I just checked my stock TouchWiz launcher on ezKAT and have the ability to hide applications. I haven't run a stock ROM so don't know if that option is hidden there somewhere in the app drawer.

[Moto X General] :
The softboot/hot boot issue comes from not having busybox installed.
[Moto X General] Verttex:
I've installed 3 different Busybox installers:

Busybox by Stephen (Stericson)

Busybox Installer by JRummy Apps Inc.

Busybox X by Robert Nediyakalaparambil [root]

The first and the third one said they installed successfully, but the second one did not.

Even after 2 installations succeeding, I was still unable to soft/hot reboot.

Any ideas?
[Moto X General] :
I use busybox installer with the blue icon. Never had a issue with softboot as long as I install everything in the order I stated in the other thread.
[Moto X General] Verttex:
Guessing that is the Busybox Installer , I just get this when I try to install it. I have root access, but Busybox is not installing.

But when I use Busybox by Stephen, it says it installs correctly, and my Busybox checker says it does too, but Power Menu still won't Hot Reboot.
[Moto X General] :
Have you ran pie root before? It needs to be ran on the device once before for it to work.
[Moto X General] Verttex:
Replying the PIE exploit has seemed to fix it. Thank you.

Should I add to the original post that you need to install PIE?
[Moto X General] :
Yes, its a must. It should only need to be ran once. After that you should never need it again unless you factory reset.
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
Wait, so you need to use PIE to make stuff work under towelroot work on the X?

If so, why not just stick with PIE? Why add towelroot?
[Moto X General] :
Did you read??? You only need to use pie once. After that you can reboot your phone as much as you want and just root with towelroot.
[Moto X General] Verttex:
Towelroot can work just by itself, but PIE adds some functionality that allows for easier softbooting.
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
I'm sorry that it bothers you so much that I have a question I'm asking. But if you must know, YES I READ. I've read this thread, the PIE thread, and Does Towel Root have any potential in the Motorola field?

And if you can read, you would know that you didn't even answer my question of "why use both?". Instead you just sort of flaming me for asking something and said pie only needs to be run once which is already stated very clearly in what I quoted.

What I'm getting at with my question is something that is implied, but not stated.....

It is understood that since neither PIE nor Towelroot disables write protection on locked bootloaders, if you root with either PIE or Towelroot, you need to re-root after power off/on (or "hard" reboot as some are calling it). It appears the advantage to Towelroot is that it is an APK that sits on device, so unlike PIE, Towelroot can be run later, non-tethered to a PC, should you have to power off/on. So you use PIE first while tethered and initially rooting, then whatever it does allows Towelroot APK to continue working properly when "on the go" in the future without needing a PC.

If that is truly the case, then I think that should be highlighted better, and [MENTION=4895568]dier325[/MENTION] should add it to the OP as many are missing that bit of information. It would also cut out some of the frustration by those encountering issues when running PIE again, after they had to power off/on. (as they could use PIE when first setting up, then towelroot if they lose root while away from their PC).

But it does beg a few more questions (at least by someone who is READING all of this, but not using either PIE or TowelRoot)...

Is PIE needed once before Towelroot only if you want Xposed? Or is it always needed once if you ever plan on using Towelroot? (i.e. Are there any cases where Towelroot alone works? like if you only want to block ads or tether. Or must you have used PIE once already, if you want to make use of Towelroot to root at all?)

Must it be done in a certain order? I.e. if you've used towelroot and realized you forgot PIE, can you just run PIE and be good? or must you reboot, use PIE, then use Towelroot again?

What changes are made by PIE that survive power off/on and enable Towelroot to work when trying to use Xposed?

If this information is accurate, can Geohot and Jcase work together on a single solution, and possibly single on device solution for the X?
[Moto X General] Verttex:
This is a great explanation of why we are using both. I will add a paragraph to the OP that paraphrases what you just said.

Towelroot alone works, but we've found that some applications (i.e. Xposed, Busybox) don't work unless you have PIE. Using them together allows us to use them.

The method of each one must be done in order but it does not matter which one you apply first to the device. In fact I just had Towelroot running on my device and then applied PIE allowing for Xposed to work.

PIE allows us to keep Busybox installed on the device which allows us to Soft/hot reboot.

I want to remind everyone that there are very few of us who are using both of these methods together currently. It is fine for these questions to be brought up for the uninitiated. As for them working together, I think Jcase stated that he wants to move away from the X, as well as I think he is on holiday due to his current signature. I don't know about Geohot but some people have created a thread over in the Moto G forum raising some money to buy the device for him after he said he would try to work on it if he had one.
[Moto X General] cell2011:
I have jcases pie root on my x and g and i either always soft boot in xposed framework and keep phone on airplane mode when not in use and charge when necessary
[Moto X General] Verttex:
I have added another section to the OP explaining the situation.

Adding them together allows you to root without having to use a PC if you do reboot your device, say it dies.
[Moto X General] doitinthedirt:
Thanks guys for clearing this up. I think Towel root should be renamed to something less middle east reference and it would be welcomed more.
[Moto X General] tu3218:
So basically if we want more functionality with our root, we should do PIE first? I clicked over onto the PIE page but didn't really how it's done. I have towelroot down, but it seems PIE is a good idea to use in combo with towel root. I could be missing something though cause I'm in the XDA app at work.

I do understand though that PIE is a one time thing and we should just use towel root thereafter when we reboot and need to reroot again.
[Moto X General] Verttex:
Using PIE in conjunction with Towelroot allows you to use apps such as Xposed.

[Moto X General] chrisp6825:
Wait, really? This is in your /sbin directory after just a PIE root..

Interesting.. PIE doesn't add those to my /sbin directory.

Hmm.. I need to think...

I see that I read that wrong. That first output is from a TowelRoot instance, then you run the PIE exploit from terminal emulator and get the id output..

So TR is putting su and daemonsu into /sbin. Something is stopping that from happening on my device I assume.

I need to read my /sbin directory after running TR. I could do that after running PIE, but PIE may possibly change /sbin back, if TR even does anything.

[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
Very interesting. Did you elevate to su before you tried to run the pie root.sh after having run towelroot?

Because that is the same su context that is given by towelroot, and not the context you get when rooting with pie...

Towelroot gives "Untrusted App", and PIE gives "Kernel" context. (when you type "id")

If you did indeed elevate to su before running root.sh (from terminal on device itself), then it would seem that running the PIE root.sh after having run towelroot does absolutely nothing (as many of us had assumed).

Its too bad we can't get Towelroot to run in the Kernel context as opposed to the "Untrusted App" (less useful) context....
[Moto X General] :
Yes that was after su. This is just running pie and then elevating su

u0_a147@ghost:/ $ su

root@ghost:/ # id

uid=0(root) gid=0(root) context=u:r:kernel:s0

root@ghost:/ #
[Moto X General] chrisp6825:
Well, it may also be that if he elevated using TR, gaining an untrusted property,

Then ran PIE from a terminal app..

He hasn't left that initial TR su elevation. Meaning he hasn't dropped that untrusted property.

It's possible if he were to 'exit' then run su once more, after the PIE exploit, he may gain a kernel property as expected.
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
Good Point!

[MENTION=2831641]jpond83[/MENTION]

Could you reboot, run towelroot, elevate to su, run PIE root.sh

then 'exit' which should simply switch back from superuser to non-superuser, then re-elevate to su, and "id" once more?

BTW: [MENTION=5798709]doitinthedirt[/MENTION] :

This -beyond- proves that jpond83 (and others) CAN successfully use towelroot....and that something else is in place (something very strange...) preventing it from working for you (and others)....

EDIT2: its also possible that we are ending up with TWO instances of both su and daemonsu (one in /sbin, and one in /system/xbin). So MAYBE we have to explicitly run /system/xbin/su , because /sbin is BEFORE /system/xbin in the PATH variable....

See: here is the PATH variable: /sbin:/vendor/bin:/system/sbin:/system/bin:/system/xbin

so typing su SHOULD attempt to locate the FIRST instance of su, which (if there were 2) the first instance would be in /sbin & hence would run the towelroot instance of su and not the PIE instance which is in the LAST PATH variable...
[Moto X General] :
OK give me a min
