[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
You don't need root access and SuperSU but some functions might not work in the rom. Rom control won't work, which has options for the rom.

In my opinion I always root purely for the viper4android sound fx and titanium backup.

Cf autoroot should flash fine but as always, make a full backup before. And always back up efs.

To be honest flashing SuperSU 2.78 SR5 through TWRP is the quickest, easiest and safest way.

EDIT: IF your happy with it how it is without root maybe keep like that for a while, if you do want or need root it can always be flashed whenever.

Just Rooted my GS4 Verizon. I noticed that some of advantages for rooting your phone are themes. I can already do themes without root. What do themes do with root access? What are some good ones if there are any that take advantage of a Rooted phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Big difference between launcher themes (icons) and a system theme which can change the framework, systemui, apps, etc. As far as what themes to use...well, you are rather limited while running Touchwiz. You can try the Xposed Framework + HK Theme Manager + CM10/11 themes though with how TW is, this usually is an incomplete process. Check out the Play Store for CM11 themes to get a better idea of the differences between a complete theme and a launcher/icon theme.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VarkTheShark:
I rooted my GS5 recently and nothing went wrong but when I uninstalled a root app the short-cuts on my keyboard disappeared. By that I mean that my keys on my keyboard normally had short-cuts on them that could be activated by holding the key for 1 second but ever since I uninstalled the root app they disappeared and now I have to go to the other tab on the keyboard to use my short-cuts. Its not a huge deal but its something I got used to and now that its gone it feels weird not having the option. Btw the app I deleted was the one I had to install to get Xblast Tools and Wanam but I cant remember the name of the app. Any help would be appreciated
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Restore your backup to fix everything with two or three clicks.

If you aren't making backups, now you know why you should start doing so. Root is very useful but also gives you the power to cause greater damage. You should for instance never delete an app, just rename it so that you can revert changes if you need to.

I have no idea what app you are alluding to. Perhaps someone else will recognize it. Or you could break down and do a search. No doubt if you try a handful of different keywords you would quickly identify the app that you want. It's a good habit to always search before posting a question anyway. Often it gives you an immediate answer. And at the least enables you to pose better informed questions.

HTH

[Nook HD, HD+ General] pvaldeben:
HI everyone, I'm tired of slow response and want to go back to stock on y Nook HD Plus. The CWM backup is saying check sum mismatch so no go there (CWM has really become undependable in the last year). Is there a flashable rom I can use to get back to stock?

Or does anyone know of a very stable responsive rom.

Ex: I click an app and it takes about 8 seconds to open. When I search in play store keystrokes are slow as a turtle.

Any help greatly appreciated And link to such flashible zip would br great.

Thanks in advance.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and download the plain stock zip from item 6. You will need to use a CWM older than 6045. You can get one from that same thread. Use the CWM to do a factory reset following the flash of the ROM.

Your sluggishness is probably due to lag. Flashing the stock ROM will not fix that. Instead of just a factory reset, you might try going to mounts and storage in CWM and formatting 'data and datamedia' to try to clear the lag.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] pvaldeben:
Thanks a lot I installed thr unrooted and updates to latest nook version. Its very responsive and when I does take a moment to do somthing its actually lets know know its working on it. Not like the other roms I tried that when you click on somthing you dont know if its taking long or the click did not work.

either way cheers.

Hey guys, I've successfully unlocked the bootloader on my XT1040 running android 4.4.4

The problem is I cannot seem to get TWRP or CWM recovery to work.

I've flashed:

openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-xt1032

recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-falcon

TWRP-2.7.0.0-falcon

twrp-2.7.1.0-peregrine-201407161845

and every time I select recovery it says

"no command"

so I hold volume up for 10-15 seconds and then tap power and I get the menu no problem

then I try to flash SuperSU and I get an error "installation aborted"

I can't seem to get to TWRP or CWM recovery.

What am I doing wrong here?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sailor spinach:
I get the exact same thing on my Moto G LTE (xt1040)

There is a tutorial, if you google Moto g lte root. It will help you fastboot the TWRP (twrp-2.7.1.0-peregrine-201407161845.img is what I used)

And from there DONT REBOOT from your fresh recovery install because it will be gone. Flash the SU Zip and install root.

After that, reboot and you'll have root access but if you try to enter recovery it will give you NO COMMAND.

That's all I could figure out for now.

Ill try and walk you through this how I did it:

....haha actually let me just like the XDA :) http://xdaforums.com/moto-g/general/newb-friendly-guide-to-rooting-moto-g-t2793895

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] petercohen:
Hello, I am using the Note 2 LTE and the PRO 12.2 LTE. I am planning to buy either the Note 4 or the new Gear S. Sure the Note 2 and Note 4 are smaller than the PRO 12.2. The latter can do almost all the things that the Note 2 and 4 are capable of (can we upgrade the software of the PRO to the ones used in Note 4?). For me, the main use of the Note 4 and Gear S is: phone calls. I guess I can do it with the PRO using some kind of bluetooth headset. Of course, besides having a better camera, the Note 4 is better at photo taking because it is too heavy and difficult to press the photo taking button while holding the PRO 12.2.

I will buy a new MacBook Pro Retina 15". It will be too heavy to carry the laptop, the PRO 12.2 and the Note 4. I probably use the PRO 12.2 for pdf annotation, pdf viewing, note taking, video watching, etc. I may not carry the MacBook Pro 15" as often as I did in the past. I do need the Mac (Mac OS and Windows) for my research work though. The PRO cannot serve as a laptop replacement in my case.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] muzzy996:
Looking to pick up the Note 4 eventually though I'm not sure if I'll do so straight away. I still like my Nexus 4 w/ Mahdi ROM.

I'm not sure I want to pick up a Tizen based wearable. I just have this personal issue with entering into another platform and wonder what support there will be for it from application developers. Its just another consideration I'd have to make which may not exist as much on plain Android Wear devices. I'll most likely pick up a Moto 360 or LG's round watch though.

When I travel both my Note Pro and my rMBP come with me. I really don't mind the weight of carrying both at all and my use case simply doesn't support the Note Pro being a laptop replacement. My Note Pro is primarily for content consumption and web browsing. Note taking is secondary and productivity is a distant last. It's quite useful for email and whatnot but I can't get significant work done on it other than mild annotation of PDFs.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] ShadowLea:
Probably not. I have a Note 3, the Note 4 feels like a step backwards. (Particularly if the EU gets the N910C with the Exynos. Rubbish.)

I'm a gamer and a designer, so I always carry my laptop(17.3" Asus N76VB) with me, as the NotePro is simply not capable of replacing it. Not because of the hardware, but mainly because of Android. (iOS won't help. Neither will Linux. And the Surface has an Intel HD, so not useful either.)

As such, my NotePro is my entertainment device. Films, magazines, comics, drawing, that sort of thing. My Note 3 serves as my go-to device for most things on the road, as well as an e-reader.

As for the Gear... I'm a Scifi fan. I didn't get stuck in 1960, and as such I will not be spending my money on tech with a 'retro' design. Not to mention, I want Android, no Tizen. Until it starts working and looking like this, I'm out.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] petercohen:
Thanks for the warnings about the Gear. The Note PRO is more like a large screen device below 1kg that I could use on public transportation and while waiting for the foods in restaurants. For research work, I still need a laptop.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] omegafiler:
I don't know why, but I've always liked the idea of making phone calls with my watch, without the need of a smart phone nearby. The Gear S is the most interesting to me. As others have mentioned, the new OS is a bit of a concern. Not to mention how nice it plays with other devices, should I replace my Note 3. I'll be keeping a close watch after release to see how it does in the wild.

I may consider the Note 4 a few months after release once prices settle down, real world results are in, and the other manufactures have released competing devices. But for what it'll cost off contract (i.e. $700+), I hardly see a reason to hand over that kind of cash any time soon. And that's coming from somebody who frequently buys new gadgets way too often. :)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] muzzy996:
When it comes to smart watches and Android Wear what exactly is the draw to these devices?

I currently see them as wrist mounted notification panels cleverly disguised as watches LOL. What else am I missing?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] ShadowLea:
James Bond.

That's hilariously the main reason people want one; because he wore it and that made it cool, and ever since they were kids a lot of people have wanted one to feel like they're a spy.

I'm not kidding, that was the reason they developed them (employed or not, the R&D lads are still geeks and nerds.(Aren't we all?)) and it's the main idea behind the marketing of them.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] petercohen:
Better if it has a camera and a voice recorder.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] muzzy996:
The exciting thing about the note 4 release is the eventual release of the software enhancements that may trickle down to the other note products. The snap note feature for example or the improved floating window support.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Polar67:
Turnover is just too damn fast for me.

Hi Y´all!

Got my P905 pro 12.2. Got my N9005 N3. Don´t really need anything new in the months to come.

Anyway - As the title says. The turnover in this business IMHO is just too damn fast, at the very least for me, to continually keep buying the very latest.

I might just decide to get the Note5. But - on an entirely different matter - I recently found out that the 50 GB Dropbox that Samsung proudly keep advertising everytime they present a new flagship(ish) device is actually a bag of hot air if you bought another device before I knew you´d only get the 50 (48 actually) GB once. I.e. not 48 GB per device. But at the very least i´d be able to extend the 48 Gigs. But Noo - no.

So at the moment i actually consider Sony next time.

Regards

Elo
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] muzzy996:
Understand the frustration there but the purpose of the promotion is to bring users to Dropbox that eventually get hooked into having to pay. In their eyes once you are hooked you shouldn't be allowed to continously increase your free capacity using the sane promotion. Every giveaway has loss built in so allowing concurrent application of them surely can't be sustainable in terms of profit margins. Like I said I hear you, this is my second note pro since I lost my first. .. sucks. .
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] ShadowLea:
It's 50GB per dropbox account, once. You can, however, simply make a new account on dropbox. (That's what I do. I currently have 5.)

That is not something Samsung chose to do. It's Dropbox's doing. :(
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Polar67:
Hi!

Hmm - gotta try that - Thanks! :laugh:

Update: It worked - Yepiiee - You´re a life saver - Well - almost anyway - Now i can get the Note 5 and feel good about it :D

Hi!

Your argument makes perfect sense. On the other hand: Samsung gets a benefit by increasing the value of their product as well.

It therefore struck me as logical that there had to be some sort of deal between Samsung and Dropbox. I.e. so many $ to Dropbox each time a unit is sold. If Dropbox gets an income per unit, i´d assume (yes - i know what is said about those) they´d also have to provide a service per unit.

Damn those assumptions :eek: ;)

Regards

Elo
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] muzzy996:
LOL You're right! Sadly they're silent on the fact that you can't continually apply the credit. Perhaps its there in fine print somewhere and I'm just too excited at each product purchase to see it . . in any case I'll buy the Note 4 sometime before the end of the year and I'll lose the ability to take full advantage of that offer. Oh well . . .I'm not about to go through the hassle of using multiple dropbox accounts.

I wish Dropbox would match Google's pricing (I actually use both but reserve Google Drive for collaborating with others whereas Dropbox I use for myself and family) across the entire range of options. Would be nice to have a $2/mo 100GB option. I really don't need 1TB of space.

Back on topic though the Note 4 Edge looks interesting too. I'm concerned though that Samsung put the curved screen on the wrong product. Having never had a Note/Note 2/Note 3 I cant say for sure so I ask those of you who have - do you think its going to be hard to avoid touching the icons and menus on the curved edge while gripping the phone and doing other things?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] ShadowLea:
Happy to help! :)

It's such a shame to forgo a great device (As the N5 will uncountably be 64Bit and 4G) because of corporate stupidity. Good thing there's usually a way to bypass it. :)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Polar67:
Well - i´m left handed and use a bumper on my N3. Being somewhat of a klutz i have to protect my device. I couldn´t hold the N4E without almost constantly being in physical contact with the curved edge. The curved edge is on the right side of the phone and looks like an ergonomic nightmare for us "leftys".

For a right handed person your right thumb looks, to me, like the "intended digit". Then you´d have to hold the device between your other 4 fingers and the root of your thumb/edge of your palm. Seems to me it´d be very nearly impossible to avoid touching along the edge. This needs to be tested IRL the phone shape is IMHO just too special to extrapolate or assume (Insert scared whine here) anything.

Edit: And speaking of bumpers - will they even be possible?

Regards

ELO
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] muzzy996:
Yeah my first impression of the edge was it's too bad the S5 didn't have a variant of that instead. The larger note size doesn't seem practical for the edge technology. Also it would be nice if earpiece speakers doubled as normal speakers, hard buttons on front were removed, microphones placed on all corners and an earpiece speaker on top and bottom. With this setup, use rotation sensor to detect orientation so that the proper earpiece gets sound when the phone is in use. Use proximity sensor to up speaker volume when paying media. It surprises me nobody does this, a phone that you can answer in either portrait orientation that also doesn't need speakers on the sides or back.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] ShadowLea:
No thank you! :eek:

Not only will that cost us 10% screen space, it is also highly irritating if you use full-screen apps. The 'hide the notification bar' feature is already highly irritating. (Every time I try to bring it up in the middle of a video, the swipe is detected by the video player first and it changes the volume or brightness before opening the bar. UGH!)

I don't need more annoyances with on-screen buttons. The Nexus can keep those, cheers. Samsung made the decision to keep the hard buttons for a very well-considered list of reasons.

And no, they can't simply extend the screen. It's bound by aspect ratio. No, they can't add it as an additional bar on the screen either, it breaks the ratio in landscape mode.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] muzzy996:
All good reasons. I wonder if there's a way to get full use of the device in either orientation without those annoyances.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] ShadowLea:
Well, they could theoretically stick it to the bottom/right side of the screen(or left, depending on how you turn it). And have the buttons just turn instead of moving the bar. But the issue is that the bar is part of the UI, not a separate system. So if you turn Android, you turn the bar.

A good example of why that doesn't work well is a tablet. My old Asus and Tab2 had the on-screen buttons. You had to move your hand quite a long way to use the buttons in landscape. It wasn't convenient.

Maybe someone will somedat have a better solution. Like a sidebar? There are some great widgets for which you can decide the specific sidebar size and location, perhaps that could be an option? It would be better, as everyone has differently sized hands and different preferences.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Twitch5tick:
I plan on purchasing the Note 4.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] mikespe:
I have the Note Pro rooted, Note 2 rooted and the Galaxy Gear 1st edition running Tizen. Tizen is the BEST on battery life but not as many apps. However, being such a small screen how many apps do you really need as long as you can answer calls & texts...plus the camera & media controls are a bonus...as well as the built in music player with 4gb of storage...I do want to get the Note 4 but I have been contemplating leaving verizon for t-Mo....I still have unlimited data with vzn but its getting harder to upgrade your phone & keep it.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] ShadowLea:
I'm curious how that works. Do you stick the 3.5mm plug from the earphones into the watch?

If it keeps looking like a regular watch, very little.

I'm still waiting for this, though..

And until they start looking like and being as useful as that, I'm not spending my money on a smart watch of any brand.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] mikespe:
You listen via bluetooth...and just remember a smartwatch is just an EXTENSION of your phone...not a phone replacement. FYI...I got my Galaxy Gear as a refurb so I only paid $99....and it has come in handy quite a bit!!!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] ShadowLea:
Sorry, I just had that image in my head of trying to juggle a bag over the arm-connected earphones. :laugh: But Bluetooth still seems a bit of a hassle, particularly in public. And bluetooth earphones, particularly in-ear ones (Hey, I have my hair to consider!) are ridiculously expensive.

That's a pretty decent deal!
