Hello

I have VZW note3 and my mother just got an S5 and i installed the weather channel app for her. The interface of this app is so much smoother and cleaner then on my note3. Both apps are updated.

Idk why they are like that. Was wondering if one of you could attach the apk for me located in /data/app I believe.

Thanks!

[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harsh862:
I have a Motorola Moto E(XT1022). I bought it recently and just when I first started it, I got the 4.4.4 kitkat update and so I downloaded it right away. Then I realised one of the biggest problems of Moto E i.e. 2.2 gb storage. So i dug into find how to install apps on sd card and got to know that you have to root the phone. On xda, I found various ways to root but they were only for the 4.4.2 version of the phone and others were update to 4.4.4 on aldready rooted devices. Please tell me the way to root my device. Also as I am new to this, I dont understand any words like bootloader, fast recovery, etc. Please help me. Thank you in advance.

Edit: Can I use the way given by deej_roamer in his post here:http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2755336

Edit: I am sorry to have posted this in the general section. I don't know how to move it now to the questions section. Sorry again.

Thank You DAVI FELICANO and deej_roamer for their help. I have now successfully rooted my phone. If someone else has a problem, go to Page 2 for the solution.
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DAVI FELICIANO:
You can use the defalt method, dont need to change anything.
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arnabJ:
Who told you that you need root to move apps to sd card?

Once you insert sd card you will get an option in settings/apps to move apps to sd card for those that can be moved.

This is though limited to Apks only and data is still kept in internal sd card.

If this option is not enough for you then you can go the advanced wag by rooting and using gl2sd or link2sd like apps.
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harsh862:
You mean I can just follow the way to root if my device would have been running 4.4.2 kitkat (and as suggested by deej_roamer in his post here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2755336 )

[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5zan:
You can install only one game due to it's low internal memory. By one game I mean high graphics game. The obb file remains in the internal storage even after moving to SD card. I tried many things like making SD card default storage using SDK tools but to no Vail. Guess the only way now is to root it & use apps like gl2sd

I've had it for a while now. I left it at home while I was on holiday and when I get back it is out of battery so I plug it in and the charging screen when it is turned off comes on aswell as the led. But after about a second it just cuts out and loops. I've tried to boot it up but no luck there. I think that the battery has died. So I opened it up (without really thinking) and had a look around it all looks ok but I don't want to buy a new battery at £25 for nothing.

What do you guys think?

Any help is appreciated!

Requests & solutions for S5:Wifi tether, USB mass storage, Spell Checker, dualboot...

Hi, I have a rooted Galaxy S5, and there are so many things that ruin the Android experience in recent Samsung models.

In particular, after search on the forum and on the internet I'm still looking for the solution to all these problems for my SM-G900F:

- Working WiFi Tether without errors

- Enable USB MASS STORAGE (http://www.xda-developers.com/android/usb-mass-storage-app-for-recent-samsung-devices/ don't work fine)

- Weather lockscreen without use of GPS

SOLVED:

- A kernel with dualboot: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2447534 (but with @gokhanmoral was simpler!)

- ENABLE SPELL CHECKER: menu enabled, but RED UNDERLINE for errors run only in ART runtime! (??) See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2728177

- Remove S Finder and Quick connect from Notification Panel (This and many other problems solved on this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2799050)

- Change bootanimation (tired without success Boot Animations root) Have to use something like http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2369587. To create and modify http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2189934

- Remove camera click (rename ALL four camera sound files)

- Change tone call keypad (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2124988&page=2)

I think the problems are common to many people. I will update the post with the solutions.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
So you are asking someone to spend their afternoon searching for you? There are a lot of helpful people here and if you asked about some specific item no doubt someone would try to help. But to simply dump a laundry list and expect someone to fill it for you is..

If you did a forum search and read a few threads you could find any of those items yourself. So why don't you?

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rulesless:
These are things that I still have not solved while sifting through the forum.

I was expecting some response from someone for the individual instances, even with possible links, not the entire list, of course.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kms108:
Many people are simply just to lazy, and never read the forum rules.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Fair enough. But that is far from the impression that your first post paints. If you care to elaborate more about what you have tried, searched for and the results thereof i.e. show that you have been made a good effort, then I or someone else will help you with some or all of those.

For myself, I am a lot more interested in helping people who have tried to find information or fix issues themselves and /or describe their issues in detail (making it tremendously easier to troubleshoot issues).

Your first request - change bootanimation

The S5 boot animation can be changed with an app like [url="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.boot.animations&hl=en]Boot Animations[/url]. Or you can use a file explorer and change the files yourself. You need root in either case. Alternately you can search for a flashable zip that changes a specific boot animation for you.

Boot animation files:

/system/media/bootsamsung.qmg

/system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg

/system/media/audio/ui/poweron.ogg

/system/media/shutdown.qmg

/system/media/audio/ui/shutdown.ogg

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rulesless:
Sorry, is that now the Samsung have too many details as to fix and the list was much longer in the beginning.

I think it will be my last Samsung.

They are also very brief because of my bad English, but this is the best Android forum in the world and so I have to experiment with the language!

Thanks for the help and even in this case the app that I had tried to change the bootanimation (Boot Animations root) did not work.

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StickyWidget:
More specifically, don't use the generic no-name 64GB SD cards with your XZT.

I've been using a generic 8GB SD card with my XTZ since I got it, in fact I've been using the same card for like 2 years now in many different devices and it's never had a hiccup, even after formatting to different file system types.

Recently decided to get a generic 64GB because they're only $10! I bought 2 in case I got a bad one. Popped the cards in the XTZ and it formatted them without problems. I added some comics and music, they played fine, images displayed quick and snappy.

Fast forward to a few days later and there are all sorts of bull**** problems:

•Sometimes the XTZ will stop recognizing the SD card and display the "ready to remove SD card" message. It won't recognize it again until it's reformatted on the PC.

•Music won't play, some files won't display sometimes, and flipping through images is agonizingly slow.

•Available storage will show as very low even if the card is empty or has few things on it. Sometimes the card will show as having 67GB of storage.

•Even if you erase the SD card, if you plug it into a computer it'll show that it still has old files on it.

•Formatting the card to FAT32 or exFAT on the PC fixes the problems, BUT, the problems start happening again whenever you turn off your tablet and turn it back on. Or if you sneeze, it'll get messed up again. Or even when you look at it funny it'll get messed up again.

•At one point an SD card turned into RAW format. How the hell?

•Running Check Disk on the SD cards shows 0 errors, but sometimes it will show hundreds of errors. What the ****?

I'm done with these cards, trying to get a refund now.

Will a 32GB generic card work? Should I just stop being cheap and get a name brand name 32GB? lol
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cat McGowan:
My vote is YES, stop being cheap and by a brand-name SD card; e.g., SanDisk.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lyubor:
I'm using a San Disk class 10 64 gb card on my Tab and XZ2 and it's insanely fast and so far (3 weeks and counting) very reliable.

I once got a cheap 64gb card and it ended up corrupting files every time I exceeded 16gb so yeah, buy a more expensive one and you'll be happy.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lidiroin:
Completely agree.

Got a SanDisk Class 10 64gb myself and couldn't be happier. It pays off to buy from a reliable brand.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dj1471:
That's funny, because I originally bought a Sandisk 64G card for my XTZ and had exactly the same problems as described (turned out to be a fairly widespread manufacturing defect). Replaced it with a Samsung 64G card (which was cheaper) and it's been perfect.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mknewman:
I have had no problems at all with both a 64gb and a 128gb card in mine.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] najoor:
Never buy a no-brand ad card. The way these are made is one of the two:

1- When a chip maker builds an sdcard it is subjected to various tests before it is sold. For example if a large number of the memory cells fail the read/write test at hot temperature the part is unusable. Some people somehow get their hands on these rejected parts and repackage (sometimes in packaging that looks very closely like samsung or sandisk) and sell them as good parts. It is then a matter of time before the sdcard fails in your system.

2- This one is even more common. They take a let's say 4GB card and change its firmware and electronically label it as 64GB or whatever they want. You buy it and put it in your device. For the first 4GB your files are saved fine but once you exceed that (which may happen months after the purchase of the card) it will fail.

Conclusion: never buy a no-name sdcard if you want your data to be safe.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StickyWidget:
As an update, I got a refund from ebay automatically for the card because the seller didn't respond to the dispute. So, yay lol

More importantly, I used this program to format the no-name sd cards and they work fine... for now. Speeds are snappy, I can view comics and music and stuff with no lag, etc.

http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm

Of course, this formats them to the FAT32 file system, so you can't win them all lol. The card still shows up as the proper size in the settings though.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StickyWidget:
The other card seems to be a fake capacity, I try to put more than 2gb of stuff on it and it just gets erased.

I'm buying a 64GB Samsung Evo card since they're pretty good at $30.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MajicDroidPirate:
Sorry I realize how stupid this is going to sound but I thought it was worth a shot asking Anyway. So there is a prerooted stock rom for ND7 which is custom recovery flashable and doesn't touch the bootloader (if im not mistaken). so for those who took the OTA update clearly they have no way to flash a custom recovery do to the locked bootloader and I understand that. But what if I convert the prerooted rom into an odin flashable tar? Any chance I could be onto something or my setting myself up for a brick from hell!!! :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MajicDroidPirate:
a little more info

As ive surpassed 100 views and no response I thought perhaps I'd elabrate a little for people to know exactly what I'm talking about.

I want to make it clear my goal is not to unlock the bootloader, right now I just want root I'm not a master dev and I'm not going to go try to do something i'm incapable of, the reason I'm posting this question is because if there is a dev that would know if this was a good idea or definitely a brick, and/or if there is a soul braver then me to test my theory.

Anyway all that out of the way I think everyone is aware that the ND7 update locked the bootloader. I think they are also aware that towlroot, saferoot, kingo, or vroot all will not work. cf-autoroot will also fail. flashing a recovery is impossible with the locked bootloader.

So here is what my idea is.

In the past I have been able to flash stock roms with Odin so long as they are the same Rom, same version ect.

N3BULA Team made a Pre-Rooted stock ND7 Rom made for people who have not yet updated to nd7. This rom is made for Philz or CWM it is a zip and it is not a tar, and I belive this rom doesn't touch your bootloader though I could of course be wrong.

This is a link to the rom thread I refer to. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2765021

rwilco12 Made a very thorough tutorial about how to make an Odin Flashable rom using a linux machine, and I have no issues using linux.

this is the link to the tutorial I am refering too

http://www.rwilco12.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=92

So now my point is if use rwilco12's tutorial to convert n3bula's Pre-Rooted rom into a odin flahable tar and flash it on the 1605 that already has ND7 on it...any chance it will be the root solution everyone is trying to achieve...or is it certain death...If anyone can help please do...I'm not doing this to get any credit..if I ever upload my converted tar all credit would go to team n3bula for making the rom...but all i want is some sort of way to get root on ND7 that's all!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Well I can tell you our build does not touch the bootloader but what you are trying to accomplish I do not think is possible. Sad to say, I think this would result in a bad brick..not sure it would be none fixable but why risk it?

I might ask around and follow up with but I do not think that is possible..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MajicDroidPirate:
Lol I don't want to just risk it that's why I made this thread I was hoping someone with more knowledge then myself could tell me if this would brick or not before I attempt anything...I just want a way to root this phone :cyclops: I do appreciate your response though and if you do find more info please let me know asap
