[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Planterz:
No, root access is global. You can however use Superuser or SuperSU to restrict root access to only one app, if you want.

Out of curiosity, why do you wish to unroot, yet retain root access with one specific app? What exactly are you trying to do? If you want to unroot because a certain application (such as banking/payment software) won't work if your phone is rooted, you can install the Xposed framework and use RootCloak on a per-app basis to trick the app into thinking you're not rooted.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @root:
Thanks you,:good:

This is good idea,

But i supposed (in Linux) if an App has Root access (777 permission) and Root Owner, the App is able to do any thing!

so what is wrong? what is different if an app has (root permission/root owner) or not?

I've been having trouble finding the Canadian Bell stock ROM. After tinkering all night trying to fix my phone, I bumped upon public website Samsung hosts all its firmware on for each carrier. http://www.sammobile.com/

Unfortunately, the free membership's download speeds are terribly slow. I'm looking at 90 minutes to download 1.5 GB. I'll post the Bell stock rom as soon as I have it.

Now if anyone is awake and the Bell stock Rom is already floating around, please let me know. I've tried searching for it in every way I can think of.

Of course, Kies3 stinks and I can't get it to fail over to the emergency firmware restore. Piece of..... errrrr.

hi all,

Just upgraded to an Orange SPV M3100, and i love it, got rid of my Axim X30 and my K800i so i now have an all in one device :D

Been playing with it to lol, upgraded to the latest rom provided by HTC and its loads faster than the Orange bumph that comes with it/on it.

Also setup gprs/3G on it so i got full wireless support, just got of the phone to orange customer services regarding data tariffs, they put me on the 10mb OW access and the Evening and weekend unlimited internet for free for 2 months to try, after 2 months its £5 per month

so this phone is costing me £50 pm with 550min/anytime, 30mins video calling, unlimited SMS, 10MB OW access and unlimited eves and weekends on the internet.

Is this a fair price to be paying? (be honest lol i wont bite):p

ta muchly

Hi, i'm thincking of ugrading my M3100 to the latest HTC ROM (HTC English QTEK_001 1.35.255.2 11/14/06) is this the one you used. Also did your bootloader change to 1.09?

any help would be greatly appreciated
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] AsifM3100:
Hi Jonr

I also have an SPVM3100 for £30 p/m. For that I get 200 mins Xnet + 100 mins landlines, 75 txts, 30mins video and unlimited internet in eves and weekends. (horses for courses). But what is 10MB OW ?

Also, what do you mean by setup GPRS/3G. Isnt it already setup, or are you saying that after upgrading the ROM you had to set it up ?

Regards

Asif
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] davey s2:
I was wondering how I did with orange- just changed tariff- had the nokia N80 but wasnt really impressed so after 4 months orange did a free upgrade and had the m3100, paying 40 quid pm on the panther £45 tariff and an extra 2000 xnet mins. So total of 2900 xnet mins, 200 txts and free insurance. Only thing is its 18 month contract tho.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] crazyC:
Orange data

Baiscally Orange don't really do 'data' when you compare to T mobile. I know they have this evening and weekend unlimited thing but as I said - put that next to web n Walk and see how much Xmas Cheer you feel towards Orange.

I was extremely lucky, in that in the summer they sort of launched/ tried a package called Orange World Unlimited, which is basically a direct type of match for WnW. I get unlimited (well almost) data all day for £8pcm. This was not advertised, and allegedly only applied to Panther tariffs, and had to be signed up before 1 September. Having said that, there have been sporadic reports of others getting it outside of these terms. Lots of reports of others being turned down as well of course. If I had T mobile reception at home , I would have gone with them though, as lets face it, you don't really buy a hermes if you only want to use it as phone - its kinda pointless without a good data package. There are lots of long threads about all this over on the modaco forums.

Hopefully with 3 now getting in on the data deals, the others will be forced to follow soon, but Orange just seem to be set against encouraging data use on their devices. (lets face it, if you have one of these devices, you are also likely to have a wifi network at home, and so off peak are you really gonna use the phones conenction versus the faster wifi? OK if you are out and about a lot, but in general I use the data options on the commute or when it picks up emails during the day.)

Just my thoughts.

Could there be a way to have the windows 8.1 on our M7? I seen today where they released the windows version on the M8 at verizon today and I was just curious if it could be done?

Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] SynisterWolf:
anythings possible but it would take a lot of work. i dont even know the logistics of it and wouldnt be very helpful.

maybe a dev could chime in.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] bmeek:
If I were in the position at Microsoft to institute a pirate dual-boot development campaign for Windows Phone, I would have a lot of fun doing it. Generate market buzz for Windows Phone by giving those with suitable devices the opportunity to install a "free operating system upgrade".

The challenges would be as much legal and political as technical - working with OEM and carrier partners who're nervous about unlocked bootloaders, etc. A marketing campaign that isn't about getting people to buy new hardware so much as giving new life to devices already out there... I would target recent Google Nexus devices (they're open, right?), then do an assessment of iPhone 5* and the legality of a push-button JailBreak app: "Tired of your stuffy iPhone? click here for some open Windows". yeah, redmond could have fun with this and make some noise where they need good marketing more than anything, Simply put, I would look closer at Windows Phone for my next upgrade if they did something like this. Do something nice for the enthusiasts and influencers, etc.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] woodsman4:
If you had the M8 it might be possible, but not on the M7
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Dark Jedi:
Know hawk has hinted about trying to port a Windows os to the m7. Again just talked about it a little. So till at least a dev tries and you know someone will try to do it. We will have to sit and wait till they do.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Until the Windows m8 is even unlocked (as the Chevron method will no longer work) and someone manages to make a dump from it, nothing will happen.

Maybe it will still be possible to pay a fee and register it as a Developer device, for publishing apps to the market.

Then when that does happen, getting it to boot on the Android m8 will be the first challenge at hand, as it will have to have the bootloader and firmware ported as well.

Getting all of that ported over to any other device will be a huge challenge and I wouldn't personally hold my breath on anyone getting this done, anytime soon, if at all.

Just being straight about it.

It's not the same as porting android from one device to another.

In my opinion, Cotulla would be the guy to do this for the m7, if he has any interest in doing so, but again that's just my opinion.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] hawknest:
We will see what happens... As stated not possible without a dump though

Revamped 2.0 Lunar 4.4.3
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] SynisterWolf:
well the HTC HD2 was able to get windows 6.5, windows 7, android, unbuntu, and Meego all on one phone so this is highly possible but as Hawknest said, we would need a dump first.

with some work, Grub bootloader can be loaded onto the M7. But thats another topic all together. :)

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erdingerchamp66:
Ok, so recently I've noticed that my chrome browser for android on my new OPO seems to think that Wikipedia is installed when it's not. It's never been installed on my OPO, and it's not installed on any of my other android devices (Nexus 7 and SGSII), although the problem appears on those devices too. I'm not sure if it happened before I got the OPO, but it may have and I just didn't notice.

So I click on a link for Wikipedia and instead of opening the app, it just redirects me to the play store to install it. It's very annoying. The same thing appears to happen with IMDB (same situation - no app installed, never has been) ...

Any thoughts on how to fix?

Thanks!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Settings -> Apps -> All (Swipe right) -> Launch by default, clear defaults. See if the problem still happens. If it does, try downloading https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chrome.beta and see if the problems still occurs.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erdingerchamp66:
Ok, not seeing the "launch by default" I tried resetting all app preferences (and was asked whether I wanted to use trebuchet or nova launcher when I pushed the home button, suggesting it cleared that preference at least). Still no dice.

People laugh when they say, you have the M8 instead of the G3? I could honestly care less...but hopefully someone can dump the WP and pull it to our android side somehow!! Thatd be awesome. Oh...you have a G3? Well I run Android and Windows...
[HTC One M8 for Windows] sabres032:
I'm guessing since the new WP is the exact same device as the android version it sounds possible. If it happens I'll definitely give it a try.

Very interesting, I'd love to try out Windows on a phone but I can't really afford to just go and buy a phone to try it soo this would definitely be a + for me. :D Hopefully someone will make a way to dual boot or maybe port MultiROM to the M8 if Windows will work on our Android versions of the M8.
[HTC One M8 for Windows] sfreemanoh:

[HTC One M8 for Windows] garywojdan81:
Only thing I wonder about is the how different the partition structure might be. That might prevent a safestrap type solution.
[HTC One M8 for Windows] bakemcbride21:
Yeah...I remember reading something that the GPE ROMS alter the partition size so its not smooth coming back to a sense ROM etc after it...

But I'm all in for going dual boot if it happens. I'd actually would use Windows phone at work as it would integrate better and be more useful...then as soon as I leave for the day boot back into android.
[HTC One M8 for Windows] jake.99x3:
True but even if twrp were to integrate slots like safestrap, it would be nice. Then all we'd need would be a port and I'm sure the port will be here with in the next few weeks.

[HTC One M8 for Windows] ajbiz11:
I also live in MI, and my personal favorite is TMO

VZW is okay, never been really FAST and is highly priced...and doesn't offer unlimited plans

I currently use a Sprint One m7 and its alright

Not fast, but reliable, but even Sprint's LTE network drains battery to hell

I don't like AT&T...they have nothing...back in the 3G days, they were actually better than TMO, but not now

But TMO has the right balance of everything

Especially if your phone supports the 900Mhz band (I even get service in Holland!!!)

[HTC One M8 for Windows] dragontology:
What carrier is best really depends on where you live. Here (eastern North Carolina) it's actually Verizon and US Cellular about tied for first (hard to say which is better, but I give Verizon the edge because US Cellular doesn't work outside our area, and roaming sucks). I don't know who comes after. Basically nobody. Trackfone? Whatever that uses. But people with those are generally unhappy with the service. AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile basically aren't a thing here. I just switched from US Cellular to Verizon to get the M8.

Another advantage comes from number of customers. Verizon gets the best phones because they hold the most subscribers. That counts for something, even if it doesn't add up to much for us consumers, individually. But the reason US Cellular only gets Samsungs and Apples is, they have so far fewer subscribers than everyone else. They can't get the M8. Not worth building it for them. And that sucks but since they charge the same as Verizon, I had to start backing a winning horse.

[HTC One M8 for Windows] BadUsername:
It's more than just the rom that's needed.

Someone is going to have to open up their phone and have someone pull data off of it through a serial port. Not really an easy dump. You can't use Adb with a Windows phone to run commands so I'd assume it would complicate the process.
[HTC One M8 for Windows] rasstar:

[HTC One M8 for Windows] rasstar:
The chances of opening the phone and putting it back together like new is very slim
[HTC One M8 for Windows] BadUsername:
Are you talking about opening or disassembly?

Opening it and putting it back together is hard but not impossible, once you disassemble then it's much more difficult. Luckily the MB is on the outside of the battery. As soon as you take off the metal casing the serial port should be accessible with little disassembly. All you need are the correct tools and some patience.

I rate the HD2 as maybe my favorite phone, if it could handle 4g I'd probably still be using it. I ran Windows Mobile 6.5 (the original), whatever was the latest android version for it and Windows Phone 7.
