    Root Do OTAs on Nexus fail when system files are modified?

    On my HTC One, because I've rooted & modified many system files, OTAs for that will fail to install. Would that also be the case for my Nexus 10? I just got notification that the OTA is available, but this too is rooted, I modified my build.prop and possibly some other system stuff, and have...

    Root [AT&T] How quickly are RUUs made available?

    With the 4.4.3/Sense 6 OTAs rolling out for the M7, how soon after OTAs are RUUs generally released? I may have to RUU back to a stock state to take an OTA anyway, so perhaps I'd just wait for the latest RUU. Also, all the download sites for the RUUs are third-party sites. I can't find them...

    Root [AT&T] Unmount USB Flash OTG Storage

    Is there a faster way to unmount a usb flash drive than going through Settings>Storage>Unmount? Tried to find a way to add a shortcut but doesn't seem option is available. I tried StickMount but when I unmount through that, it says the drive has been unmounted but it has not. It still shows...

    Root [AT&T] Phone app requesting SU permissions

    Earlier tonight I was looking through my text messages (I use Handcent) and I got a SuperSU prompt that the Phone app was requesting SU permissions. I thought that was odd, so I denied the request. Haven't noticed if anything stopped working. I can still make and receive calls. Tried to find...

    Reorient Volume Keys

    Anyone know of a mod that will reorient the volume keys when the N10 is rotated to portrait mode and works in KK? I have the GravityBox module installed but this option isn't working right on the N10. When I was running JB, I had a separate module that accomplished this, but it doesn't work in KK.

    Hot-plugging HDMI

    I've had my Nexus 10 for a few months but only connected it to my TV via HDMI a couple of times. I'm pretty sure I read when I got it that I'm supposed to power off both the tablet & the TV before plugging in the cable. I'm reading on other websites that the HDMI spec is hot-pluggable but most...

    Help adb issues

    With my HTC Inspire I found that while powered off I could connect it to my computer and adb would still detect the device. I could power it on with "adb reboot" or boot straight to bootloader. While I never actually needed it, it was cool knowing I could in case my power button broke or...

    Root [AT&T] RUU & OTA Questions

    My One is S-OFF & rooted w/ TWRP recovery. Still running the stock ROM but have edited some system files and deleted some system apps. So the 4.4.2 OTA won't install. I've read that I can install the 4.3 RUU then the OTA and just flash TWRP & SuperSU again and I'd be good to go. But I have a few...

    Root [AT&T] No Developer Warning text after S_OFF

    I just S-OFF'd my One using Firewater and the temproot method. Flashed TWRP and installed SuperSU. I was fully expecting to see the red text Developer Warning every time I boot the phone. But I'm only seeing it when I boot to recovery. When I boot normally there is no indication at all that the...

    Using a GoPhone on Mobile Share plan

    I want to upgrade my parents' phones that are out of contract to entry level smartphones but I'd rather not commit to a 2-yr contract. If I purchase an Android GoPhone, can I use them on our Mobile Share plan by just using the sim from their old phones? Also if I do this, will I need to pay an...

    How can I block update to 4.4

    I just noticed the notification that the OTA has downloaded and is ready to install on my Nexus 10. But after reading the posts regarding KitKat on the Nexus 10, I've decided I'm going to stick with 4.3 for a while. I'm running stock 4.3 but am unlocked & rooted w/ TWRP installed and I may...

    Wake w/o power button

    Is there a mod or app that allows waking the tablet without using the power button? Preferably using a swipe gesture or tap of the screen. Saw some that use a shake but I'm not too keen on that idea. I use a swipe2wake feature on my phone, but of course there's no capacitive buttons on the N10...

    Root Benefit of updating firmware

    I have one of the Froyo-shipped Inspires that is still running fine for me after two years. I used the AAHK to root & s-off, have flashed several different ROMs, radios & kernels until I found a setup that worked for me and have pretty much left it alone ever since. Now I see threads about the...

    Instagram video fails

    The latest version of Instagram supposedly supports video uploads from phones running ICS. But whenever I try to the video fails to process correctly, either with video taken with the app or from my vid library. I'm running BlackoutICS and I've also tried it with SVHD. I'm wondering if there is...

    Streaming Video from computer no longer working

    When I was running ARHD on my Inspire, I was able to stream videos from my computer using ES File Explorer. I was able to play mp4, avi & wmv files without problems. The videos would play in either QuickPic, Streaming Media Player or ES Media Player & would start playing after a quick buffering...

    Ran across issues with my web browser and certain pages and hoping someone can help me sort it out. I've been using Dolphin Browser as my default for almost two years but only started having these issues this week. When I go to a Tumblr page there's a button at the top that says "Open in App"...

    Help Incoming calls in background

    So I was typing a message this morning when a call came in. Before I even realized it, the incoming call screen popped up and I had hit the Decline button. Is there an app or mod or setting I'm not aware of that will keep the incoming call screen from coming up when another app is in use? I read...

    Help Battery info not updating

    An odd issue has popped up for me in the past few days. I have a widget on my home screen that brings up the Battery Use screen and it no longer seems to be updating properly. If I bring up the screen and note the time on battery then come back later, the time will not have changed. Hitting...

    Root Factory Reset from HBOOT

    Does a factory reset done from HBOOT wipe the Recovery partition as well? Obviously a reset done from within Recovery doesn't. But if I do it from HBOOT will I still be able to get into Recovery to restore a backup?

    Help App purchased through Amazon shows up in Market

    I purchased Swiftkey X through the Amazon Appstore back in August. Just recently I noticed that when I go to the Android Market, Swiftkey is listed as one of my apps. And in the Market website, it says Swiftkey is purchased, although I never purchased it through there. No other apps that I've...

    Help Keyboard lag in browser

    When I'm trying to type a post on this forum using my phone, my keyboard lags greatly. If I try to type as fast as I normally do, sometimes the keyboard just stops responding. This happens both in Dolphin Browser and the stock browser. Tried 3 different keyboards and they all lag. Oddly though...

    Root Ace Hack Kit no longer available

    So it looks like attn1 has removed the AAHK from xda. [TOOL] AAHK Discontinued as of 05-12-2011 Appears that people's inability to read and follow simple instructions has driven him over the brink. That's a shame b/c it was a great tool. Don't know if it's available anywhere else or if it will...

    Help Shortcut to Power Menu?

    Is there a way to create a shortcut on a home screen that will bring up the power menu? When I'm setting up a new ROM or flashing a bunch of mods I'm rebooting a lot. To bring up the power menu I need to hold the power button for a few seconds and with the case I have on it, sometimes it's more...

    Root 4EXT Recovery

    When I flashed ARHD it changed my Recovery from CWM to 4EXT. It seems to do all the same things as CWM. And the Updater app does some things that ROM Manager doesn't. From what I can tell it was developed for the Desire HD, and I never see it mentioned in the Inspire forums. Is there any reason...
