Hey,

Root is like the administrator in Windows. By default, you have a user account, not a root or admin account. And therefore you're access permissions are limited. You do not have write permissions to most internal directories and are pretty much limited to the sd card, which is kinda like 'home' in linux or 'my documents' in windows. Also, cannot run applications that require su (superuser, ie: root, admin).

Rooting is the act of accessing the root user account, or admin account. Like 'jail-breaking' in the apple world.

How to root your android depends on which model you have.

For installing the widget app, as long as its an .apk file, you should be able to just click on it and be prompted to install it.

To access your widgets, should be able to log press on a blank area of the home screen and get a option box to select from. Or if you have a 'menu' button there should be an add option.

To use the Terminal, long press 'menu' and your keyboard will popup. Or click menu and there will be an option for the keyboard, also settings to change color, text size and others.
[Android Apps and Games] amfetamine:
Also, in the terminal, it will use linux commands, not windows commands.

You can google android commands and get a list of common commands.

Good luck. Have fun. If you don't have some linux experience, it may seem like there's a steep learning curve, but most things will become easy after a little tinkering.
[Android Apps and Games] Symondo:
im finding this an incredibly steep curve - a bit too steep lol
[Android Apps and Games] patriotaus:
I would recommend searching <(name of device) root guide> and then you will find your way around.

But, i don't think you need root, root is for when you need to install applications that you need higher permissions to control system settings. Also to install different versions of android.

Your problem seems to be only a bug. If you want to install an application that is not on the market, you just go to your settings and turn on installing from unknown sources.

You don't need to put it in system apps, the apk is like an .exe, just put it on your sd card, install a file manager program like ASTRO, and then open that app, go to the directory you transfered the file, and click it, ASTRO will give you the ability to install it.
[Android Apps and Games] Symondo:
I dont think rooting is essential to do this but from what ive read - it helps.

the app in question is this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=780828

this should replace the file on my system which doesnt work. unless anyone has a suggestion to get the same item by installing an apk to achieve as per the instructions state "copy into system/app and set permissions"

Hi,

Same for me : i can't neither start booloader (vol down + power on or reset) nor hard reset (vol up and down and reset). : it always reboot on magldr and android.:mad:

The only thing i can do is to change android nand rom with magldr.

Is possible to flash bootloader or something like that ?

Thanks for help.

Hi

My bluetooth worked just fine until an hour ago.

after i disabled it and tried to enable it it wont turn on anymore.

after checking the box it goes into the enabling phase just like normal but stays for like 15 seconds. then the box fades back and is still unchecked :(

several reboots did not solve this issue.

here is the logcat

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funstuffalex:
if i have bouth data and wifi turned on and i am connected to a wifi spot...do i need to turn off the data conection first before it will stop sucking my topup?

shouldnt the device make sure it uses wifi if wireless network is available?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slateac:
No, you don't need to.

When you connect to a wi-fi connection, the 3G data will automatically switch off (logo on status bar will go away) and it will return when you switch wi-fi off.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unremarked:
what?

The phone will prioritize the WiFi connection over the 3G connection unless the WiFi is turned off, it's signal drops out(resulting in a disconnects), or you have the default still set for WiFi to turn off when the screen is off.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xspyda:
Am I right in thinking that although the 3g connection will kick in when the wifi signal is lost the phone will still continue looking for a wifi signal and therefore impact on the battery?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unremarked:
Once the WiFi signal it's connected to is lost, it will switch the data 3G connection back on. Once you're out of range of remembered WiFi networks, it does scan for new/known WiFi signals to automatically connect to(only in the case of known signals, it will not try to connect to unknown networks).

As far as impact on battery, I don't think it's much. Only one time has WiFi ever creeped up on my battery use meter and that was on a particularly light day. I still finished my work day at little over 70% battery. There's an app on the market called WiFi Toggle which can help you automatically manage the phones WiFi chip. For instance, one setting will let it turn the WiFi on for a second, scan for known networks and connect if it finds them. If it doesn't, it turns it back off.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xspyda:
That's as I thought, thanks for the confirmation. I'd really like something to make the android phones act like the nokias in this respect - only turn on a data connection when needed (ie when the browser is fired up) and also prioritise the connections such that if a pre programmed known wifi network is available it will connect to that but if not switch to 3g data. There is no scanning for wifi networks all the time.

Nice to know it doesn't seem to impact on the battery though and yes before anyone mentions it I am aware android devices are designed to be always connected :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
I've been saying this for a while too. I came from Nokia symbian phones where they initiated the data session only when needed, like opening the browser etc. Android does not do this, instead it keeps a data session on all the time. Anytime you see that 3g symbol on an android phone means its data session is open. This is why android gets such poor battery life across all models and manufacturers.

Take one day as a test and simulate your symbian use by turning off mobile data, and your battery life will sky rocket on your nexus. So really It's just a trade off to make knowing you're always connected vs on others like symbian you need to manually do something to open the connection.

Oh and WiFi gets so much better battery life over 3g on android.

I just picked up this keyboard and it really works great and all menus etc... are accessable. The trackpad works great and even the volume buttns work.

Nice. Must go and look at that
[G Tablet Accessories] fletch33:
Yeah I just started playing with it and as soon as you plug it you get an X on the screen as your pointer that moves and selects things with a left click. Been testing it and so far I have been able to geat a doc with docs to go, save it, go back to home screen and browse the web etc... and haven had to touch the gtab.

It is also the same width as the gtab or maybe a 1/4 inch or less wider so it will fit in whatever you carry your tab around.

Hey,

wunderful... Was just creating my own battery apk based on stock icons. Created 100 icons and now seeing this already exists :D

But I have one issue with this apk. Attaching the charger starts toggling the loading png and the %-png. So it's 52% - charging icon - 52% - charging icon.

Any idea?

[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Krzysiec:
It's not an issue... Charging indicator shows current charge level and charging icon (thunder). That give us information about charging in progress and current charge level...

Tommorow ... ergh .. Today :D (but later - it`s 1AM here now) i`ll update 1st post ... battery is almost done, need to check them if they works properly ... There will be 3 versions avaliable:

1. basic (thunder alternately with percent level on it) - current one

2. smooth animation (only thunder (charging) icon with smooth charging animation)

3. smooth animation with % lvl (thunder alternately with percent level with smooth animation - mix of 1. and 2.)

[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Krzysiec:
Yes i`m using 2.0.14 ... info in signature OUT of date ..
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] bur2000:
edit: Haha, shame on me... :rolleyes: I didn't check DHD in amend2edify so the update script used the wrong partition names. Good thing this didn't break anything.

So if anyone else encounters problems, make sure you select the proper device in Options -> Mount Type. :)

Ok, then it seems CWM 3 in combination with 2.0.0.14 is the problem. I'll try again with CWM 2 and let you know if it works.
