helsabot posted:This got missed, from the last page, but i'm thinking the radio is separate, right? That's my understanding. With my T-Mobile G2, and I think all smartphones, the 'radio' is actually a separate processor core - an ARM7 in this case - running a separate closed-source real-time operating system which handles the low-level details of talking GSM/CDMA and presenting a modem-link syntax over a serial link or whatever to the CPU running Android.

Tooter posted:I recently purchased a Nook color and am looking for an easy way to root it so I can transfer my amazing apps over to it and just make it look pretty. Then show it off to everyone at my company who bought an iPad and laugh. Any help with this? The stuff I found online was about it being rooted but no real how to's. Your google-fu is weak, old man. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942424

Civil posted:I originally had hopes that Homeycomb would be the next CM target, but all signs point to it being a huge mess. Hopefully work on Ice Cream is moving ahead. Work by Google on Ice Cream, I presume you mean. Cyanogen obviously can't do anything til source is released.

Solly posted:well I shat a brick so Im willing to bet its still a brick. I mean unless you apply the fix it is bricked. This is a bit like shutting down your phone and saying 'unless I turn my phone on it's bricked'. Bricking a device means killing it to the extent that it is permanently as useless as a brick to a normal person, which with a phone tends to mean wiping the bootloader somehow.

The General posted:I can't even get it to turn on. I mean, literally turn on. It doesnt recognize the power button being pressed, or the fact that it's plugged into a charger. This probably won't help, but have you tried removing and re-seating the battery? The one and only time my phone did this (not during the process of rooting), that's what fixed it.

DigitalMocking posted:I use mine to check the ticketing system at work, read comics, gmail, browse facebook, watch youtube and Hulu and watch tv shows/movies. For that its perfect for the price. If you're watching video in a format the GPU can't hardware accelerate, you'll want that processing power. My Nook can definitely be laggy with AVI files in rockplayer for instance. Not to say it isn't still awesome, but there is a valid reason occasionally to want some more CPU grunt. feedmegin fucked around with this message at 16:26 on Apr 16, 2011 |

Fuzz posted:So any guides to rooting an HTC Thunderbolt? Didn't see it in the OP. 7.0 final, which includes the new tablet tweaks. Works great.

Probably for a mouse or keyboard, external storage, etc. http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/usb/accessory.html Doesn't sound like it's USB host, more support for certain gadgets specifically designed to work with Android phones (related to the home automation stuff Google's been talking up recently)

Frozen-Solid posted:I love how people bitch about flash counters and ASUS's phoning home when you unlock your bootloader. The Prime forums on XDA are obsessed about trying to find a way to make the unlock tool not phone home, as if doing so would keep your warranty from being voided. It's not like ASUS won't be able to tell you bricked your phone/tablet by being a dumbass and voiding the warranty when they get your product at the RMA center anyways. The only difference it makes is that when you call up they won't even give you an RMA so you're not wasting your and their time by sending in a voided product. Either company would just take the RMA, look at it, tell you it's not covered and send it back costing them money. Well, uh, except with most devices you can flash back to stock before sending it in if you have an RMA issue (as long as it's not so severe an issue you can't flash anything at all). I don't think Asus are being unreasonable per se, but it does make a difference.

LastInLine posted:It doesn't look good, though Chainfire will be working on SuperSU for the next couple years. As it is though you're right, I can't find a kernel I'd trust for my Nexus 5 and I'm currently unrooted for the first time in a long time. For a Nexus device specifically, you can build AOSP from source and flash it fully Google-approved and not worry about that kind of poo poo, surely.

Hmm. I've got a Galaxy Tab S2 (t810) . It's running Android 5.0. I've rooted it just fine. But it just won't take a custom recovery via Odin or Heimdall. Once or twice I've got it to take TWRM briefly but as soon as I reboot it goes back to the stock recovery - and this is when rebooting straight to recovery, not booting the main OS, so it's not the known issue of Android flashing the stock recovery on boot. Most of the time I don't even get that far. Anyone know if recent Samsung stuff has hijinx in the bootloader to overwrite a custom recovery or something?

Eikre posted:Is there a simple way to make save-states of ordinary apps in rooted android? Like the kind of poo poo that you would expect out of an emulator or virtual machine: mirror an app's current exact state in memory and then just drop it right back into that snapshot at your leisure. It's easy with virtualization because you have the entire machine in a jar and don't need to dissect shared resources, but my understanding is that hypervisors on Android are already kind of a thing (isn't it how Samsung's Knox works?) so I was thinking someone might have made an app-wrapper to do exactly this. I mean, you can't do this with regular Linux, so I would be surprised if you could somehow do it on Android.
