[Acer Iconia A500] montyl:
I have an old Acer A500 that I want to fix up for my wife to Pinterest/FB and maybe a little work. I know it has some age on it, but it is in great shape! I would like to ROOT it and do some speeding up to it. How do I go about rooting and upgrading the ICS?

Thanks!

[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Which version of android does it have atm?

Are you familiar with adb, it's the easiest way to retrieve your tabs cpuid...Which you're gonna need.

If you want to run ics and root, you also need the unlocked bootloader.

You probably need to do some reading about the procedure, it can be complicated, but if you follow the steps in the guides you'll be fine. The process itself will take about 30 mins at most plus the time to download the tools, drivers and rom...so set aside a good 2-3 hours undisturbed...the process works best by completing each step thoroughly before moving into the next and not getting too hung up about trying to understand exactly what you're doing, lol...just do what the guides say!!!

Ok, so first retrieve the cpuid see my guide in my sig and it's stickied in tje dev forum.

Then also in the Dev forum is a sticky by civato to unlock the bootloader, it will be one of the first 6 or 7 posts.

That's about it!!! If you have any probs feel free to ask and we'll try to help:)

Anyone else have this problem? Towel root says "this phone is currently not supported". Does anyone know if they'll make this phone "ra1n?" lol
[Sprint LG G2] barleysoda:
Stump root works with ZVE. I am running ZVE with root and TWRP. The process is to .tot back to ZVC then side load ZVD and ZVE. autorec works with ZVE also so that you can have TWRP.

Check out the two threads in the Sprint General section forum.
[Sprint LG G2] abhinav.tella:
Did you try ioroot? It should also work.
[Sprint LG G2] Rammv:
Well is zve worth the update from zvc and no d3rp superg2 rom ?
[Sprint LG G2] Trident:
Where did you get the ZVE update after .tot? Is there a way to save it or did you just let the phone update before root?

I'm using the Affliction ROM, which I really like, but is no longer supported. I'll be fine with a rooted stock G2. At least until someone makes a custom ZVE ROM.
[Sprint LG G2] Rammv:
There is zip on the op with the zve tot file in it.
[Sprint LG G2] Trident:
In the OP of this thread? No link or upload there. A little clarification would be appreciated.

Found it in the G2 General Forum. For those who are interested... thank the OP in that thread.
[Sprint LG G2] Rammv:
In the sprint general section. Sorry.
[Sprint LG G2] wi11ie:
Not working here.. What magic did you use to achieve this?

willie
[Sprint LG G2] Trident:
I did a .tot directly to ZVE and then used Stump to root and AutoRec for TWRP.

Only glitch was that I got the white line screen after the first time the screen turned off. I flashed the Dorimanx kernel and now all is golden.
[Sprint LG G2] wi11ie:
I did the same and got zve... Couldn't find AutoRec after that to flash TWRP.. Must search harder I guess..

Working perfectly now.. Thanks!

I know there is a "Tempered Glass Screen Protector" thread, but since those seem to be ineffective ATM.... Also please leave tempered glass discussion and info in the other thread.

Has anyone tried a dry application or wet application screen protector on your Moto X? I like how wet fit protectors seem to mold perfectly to the phone, but they always feel rubbery which I hate. Dry applied protectors seem to suffer from the same issue the tempered glass protectors do, they don't hold down on the curved edges of the screen.

Has anyone tried anything they like?
[X 2014 Accessories] d.cortez:
I'm using dry protectors sold by Verizon. Sticks very will for me. But it is a fingerprint/smudge magnet!

Any similar to zagg yet?
[X 2014 Accessories] bmwh0r3:
Since zagg hasn't made one for the moto x 2nd gen, I desperately wanted one. I bought one for an Sammy s5 for 9.95 and modified by cutting the top and bottom off. While the top section and bottom are exposed, the main screen is covered. Width is perfect. Feels so much better than the dry application ones from vzw I had. Combined with my otter box defender with the built in screen protection removed, I'm a happy camper now. Protection with the right feel for me.
[X 2014 Accessories] Elsydeon:
For wet skin protectors, give Best Skins Ever a try. I discovered and tried them against Xtremeguard and Skinomi (I refuse to try any other skin brand that goes over $20) back in the days when I had a Nexus 4, which also had a curved screen. I found the BSE skin to have the slickest feel on the screen, and they're cut to within 1mm of the absolute edge of the screen. The back also has 3 separate pieces, for the camera flash and dimple. They run $8.99 for a full skin set. I plan on buying one soon for my incoming Moto X, as a temporary solution until somebody makes a proper fitting tempered glass protector.

Verizon Volte

I think its going to be more in the 3 to 6 month range. VZW is having to many issues with the Volte service at this time. To many dropped calls when the call originates in an LTE market & then goes to a 3G or 1XRTT area. That's why the initial rollout only included a select number of devices, the call centers would be flooded with support calls. Now they are partnering with AT&T in 2015 ( is hell freezing over ) to make Volte work. Which is the way cellular service should be in this country to give the consumer the best possible experience. The big 4 have just never historically played well together but really good to see going forward. :) Anyway this is going to be a very slow process!!

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tesla45:
Was on Android previously, but spent the last 2 years on iOS and one thing I loved was the automated wireless cloud backups to iCloud, even though I didn't buy into the rest of iCloud.

I know Android doesn't have a seamless solution for this. I am going to get a Z3/Z3c and will NOT be rooting.

Can someone bring me up to date on Android...I know Android will back up all my core device settings. But basically I would love something relatively dead simple for the following:

* Actual application backups (data + settings, though I don't care if I have to re-download the app again)

* SMS, Call logs, backup

* Photo roll backup would be nice too (I am willing to load Google+ photos just for easy backup and restore, even if I don't use it)

* Easy android phone to phone backups and restores (e.g. I need to replace a broken Z3 with a new one, or I decide to switch from a Z3 to some other phone next year)

Helium sounds good, but the app says the following on google play store [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup&hl=en]:

"""Note: Some Sony devices have issues with Helium. This includes the Xperia S and Xperia Z. Sony has *disabled* backup on these devices completely."""

I'm hoping this does not apply to the Z3?

Does anyone have experience using Sony's OSX Bridge or PC Companion for Z3 backup/restore? (nearly everything I read on the web says it has lots of issues

How about Helium for Z3 backup and restore while not rooted?

Some things that make my situation easier - all my contacts, Calendars, Mail are with Google exchange, I manage my music on my own with MediaMonkey, wireless/cloud backup would be great (willing to pay a one time app purchase for this) but I can live with backup over usb. I have a local NAS I can use for wifi backups as well if possible.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuyInDogSuit:
There was a project for UMS on various Samsung devices, that worked up until the S3 and Note 2, I think, but it hasn't been updated in two years. There's been hundreds of comments on the thread though it looks like the OP hasn't responded in two years. The project is likely dead at this point. He was last online in May, but I sent him a PM regarding the project to see if he plans to continue it, or if he can supply the source so someone else can. Either way. would anyone be willing to look into getting UMS working on the S5 (or any device, for that matter)? I ask because I bought a Kenwood car stereo a few months ago and it doesn't work with MTP (why, I don't know, stupid design flaw).

[Xperia Z3 General] monomojao:
Has anyone else experienced a slight lag when going from any app to lets say, the home screen? It happens frequently with me, in fact, when going to the home screen sometimes the wallpaper is not even there, it takes about an additional second for it to appear.

Coming from a M8 this was never an issue for me. I have 13 days left with the phone so im trying to see if its worth it. :/
[Xperia Z3 General] erasat:
Having a D6633 and now a d6603 and helping a friend to get and use his z3 compact I've never seen something like this in more than 3 weeks, that with 4 different firmwares between them.

So, it must be some of your app causing it, I'd recommend to just reset to factory and begin again and try again, you still have enough time to see if you got a defective one or if it was one of the apps.
[Xperia Z3 General] abhinav.tella:
Disable triple tap to zoom, some phones came with it enabled, it causes lag.
[Xperia Z3 General] monomojao:
You're right. I am going to factory reset and give that a try. I just hate having to set up everything again.

Whatever... Camera is not as great as hoped no, but the device itself is still a great one.

No issues here, only a slight lag in background image loading when unlocking (but that seems more like a transition effect). Other then that, smooth as butter.
[Xperia Z3 General] abhinav.tella:
As mentioned before, disable triple tap to zoom, it causes lag. If it is still there then I can't say much.
[Xperia Z3 General] monomojao:

[Xperia Z3 General] fknpwned:
If i compare the gaming performance between Z3 and Z2 in Asphalt 8, i have to say that it runs a lot smoother on my girlfriends Z2. I dont know, the whole UI performance is better on Z2. Maybe the lag is caused by Android 4.4.4?

Already tried full Reset, cleared RAM and cache without success.

Both phones get around 41000 on Antutu. Sometimes the Z3 only gets 38000
[Xperia Z3 General] abhinav.tella:
It should be in accesibilty settings labeled as tap to zoom.
[Xperia Z3 General] se1000:

[Xperia Z3 General] Jonathan-H:
The phone can lag quite a lot. Such as when a call ends, going back to the desktop. The wallpaper loads slowly and the lock screen can lag too.

Also coming from an M8, I can confirm the Z3 is slower than the M8 going from one app to the next or after closing apps or ending calls etc, although the Z3 is perfectly smooth (Animations etc)
[Xperia Z3 General] monomojao:

It is only present on the sony home launcher. Install Apex or Nova and say goodbye to wallpaper reload. I have the same issue as you. Lastly, check that stamina mode isn't enabled. There is a setting called 'extended usage' which openly states it reduces performance just to save battery.

What rubbish. The camera ought to be better but MORE than good enough. Wish it were as good as the iP6 and the note 4. Otherwise, the camera has unbelievable low light capability. Best i've seen. Superb digital image stabilisation, better than ip6+ OIS. Brilliant slow mo settings and the fly adjusting. Hardware shutter button with two stages is a rare gem. So you really are chatting a load of tosh. And I'm just done with the camera.

UI performance? Compared to what? I have an iP6+ and it is on par and better and worse than it depending on different operations. Often load certain apps faster than the iDevice. Often not. Excellent app retention in memory thanks to 3gb RAM. The design? The ip rating? The stereo speakers and its amplitude? The audio fidelity? The display max and min output? This device is AWESOME and unparalleled by any other in this many categories all at once.

It's in Developer Options.

To get there, you have to tap "About Phone" 7 times.

Sony apps laggy

I know that feel. Got a Z3 compact a few days back and it was terrible. Considering that I expected perfection out of the phone, I was kinda disappointed.

So basically, i noticed that the transition stutters when i'm fetching the sony phone app from RAM. That is when it's already open in the background. The sony phone app is the worse!

I simply deactivated all image enhancers and downloaded Ex Dialer to replace the sony phone app. Im also using the google messenger though the sony messaging app is not bad.

Other animation stutters do occur but they are kinda rare or minor so I just chose to live with it...

While tweaking I also tried Nova launcher and set the app animation to blink (Ice cream sandwich animations) and I slowed down a bit the animation speeds which surprisingly made the phone app lag free. I mean like 60fps transition effects.

Anyway, I hope this helps.

Is there any advantage to 2.16?
[HTC One S] ojomio:
Well, as for me, I see the situation like this:

- You have S-OFF. You can flash whatever you like to system partitions, and even to HBoot

- You don't have S-off. You can only flash HTC-signed images to system partitions, sich as hboot, tz, radio, etc

Hboot 2.16 is a stuff from HTC One m7 world and won't won't boot on HTC One S straight away as a dump from that phone. If you modify it, you break signature, so you will get working but not flashable via RUU hboot.

Am I missing something?

[MENTION=5144634]Jem256[/MENTION]: Advantages and disadvantages can be found here.
