I have an evo 4g, and I am tired of the stock theme. I wanted to know if the bliss theme found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852021 was compatible with the EVO 4g?
If it is would someone be able to walk me through the installation. I am confused as hell!
you can send me a private message, respond here, or email me? Hell you can even call me. I really really want this theme

think your link to thread is wrong...double check it

I may be wrong but, I'm pretty sure you have to be rooted and running a deodexd rom to flash a theme.

Time Warner Cable app for rooted phones

I downloaded the time Warner Cable app today, then it said it was for Android 4.0 or higher. So I flashed the sensewich rom (sense 4.0) and it said the app isn't for rooted phones. Does anyone know a way to get it to work on gingerbread or a rooted 4.0 rom?
The app runs, but I can't view live tv.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA

Try the Market app "OTA Rootkeeper", which has the ability to temp unroot. Not sure about the Time Warner app you are talking about, but OTA Rootkeeper seems to work for other movie streaming apps with root restrictions.

If I recall, some applications do a check for the superuser apk on the phone. If the Root Manager doesn't work, you may want to try renaming the SU app.

Thanks for the responses, but how do I use the ota root thing? It's the voo doo app?
Edit: nevermind

To be clear, you installed OTA Rootkeeper, opened the app, and selected temp unroot? You may need to also reboot, to make sure nothing is lingering in memory that would indicate root.

Use a file explorer (needs root) to rename superuser.apk in /system/app/

[TOOL] == Secret Menu Exploit ==

YOU MUST BE ROOTED AND HAVE A ROOTED KERNEL INSTALLED FOR THIS TO WORK! NON-AOSP ROMS ONLY!
T-Mobile rooted insecure kernel HERE
AT&T rooted insecure kernel HERE
INTRODUCTION:
I originally was building a rom that enabled serial port in an attempt to repair IMEI but decided to make a universal tool to enable the exploit instead.
You can use this new menu to access a lot of new internal settings and you can enable DIag mode (serial port) for reading and writing settings via PST.
Should work on all sgs3 phones.
DOWNLOAD:
GALAXY S III EXPLOIT TOOL
INSTRUCTIONS:
-Simply run the tool with you phone connected and follow the instructions, its a one click tool. Enjoy.
If you appreciate this and would like to make a donation you can do so here:
DONATION LINK
UPDATE:
Simple no-root solution finished for backup/restore of IMEI finished!
Thread: HERE

This video will show you the exploit being ran and a serial port being established.
Click here to watch video!
This is a big step as this enables reading the IMEI (among many other settings) via PST. Normally we can simply 'write' back whatever IMEI we want at this point; but that is not the case with this phone. When we find how to write back the IMEI, the IMEI issue will be resolved.
So,
Q: Is this a full IMEI solution?
A: No, this is me posting my work in progress along with a one click tool so that the community can help finish it up.

Thanx in advance I did bricked 2 already with no imei

Please submit your information HERE. It is an IMEI track/spreadsheet.

Just to clarify the special note in op, is there a difference between rooted and having a rooted kernel? I am rooted by means of Odin flashing root injected stock Rom.

You can be rooted without an insecure kernel. Think he's saying you need an insecure kernel that will allow you to "adb remount" and get SU in adb shell.

Correct, the first command ran is (adb -d shell su -c "mount -o remount rw /system") It installs adw and then pushes a few things to system and a few thing to data, sets permissions and reboots phone. For the sake of a simple one click tool this will require the insecure kernel.

This looks cool can't wait to try it!!

thanx op, looks easy enough.

I ran the tool and when the phone comes back I try the Geek MOD but nothing happens. Have installed the kernel and am rooted. I'm stock GS3 other than that. Any ideas of what it doesn't work?

Anyone who's tried it yet, what exactly does this do? I'm curious....

[HOWTO] Root Android 4.3 on samsung galaxy nexus

This rooting technique Finally worked you will need three files
1) SDK TOOLS from
2) recovery.img from
3)MRKREHANROOT from
you should have unlock boot loaders USB drivers installed and should be on android 4.3
copy mrkrehanrehanroot3.1.zip in sdcard
be in fastboot mode ie switch off your device and hold both volume up and down and power button together and keep your device connected to PC
Extract the sdktools and place the revovery.img in that folder
then with one finger on shift key right click in an empty space in the folder and select open command window here
then type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
it will flash recovery to your device
in recovery no need wipe anything install the zip mrkrehanroot3.1.zip
and reboot
download any app that requires root access and check for example root explorer
it should ask root acess
in this way you have rooted your device
Keep the thanks rolling and follow me on

I use that method, cannot restore any app with TB or install Busybox, for some reason it's root but not completely.

This thread shouldn't be in dev section, and there were bunch of root method threads/posts that could be easily found.

Read description:
Titanium Backup is an example of such an app. It may incorrectly detect the path to your internal storage for backups, and thus crash on backup/restore. You can fix this by going into preferences and selecting a folder under /storage/emulated/legacy as backup/restore path, not under /storage/emulated/0.

[TOOL]adb_pusher(for windows)

I've made this simple and small tool seeing some people have bricked their devices BUT are able to access TWRP.
For some reasons they don't use the usb_otg, might it be they don't have the otg cable or something other, doesn't matter.
Maybe they aren't familiar with command prompt(command line), adb etc.
Q) What does this tool do ?
A) It let's you choose the desired rom, then checks if the device is connected and finally pushes the rom.zip to your internal storage.
Q) What does this tool NOT do ?
A) It doesn't install the rom.
You may add comments, questions, requests or graphic_design_help since my gui sucks badly.
Some prerequisites have to be met, adb driver should be installed. If you have ever rooted successfully that should be covered then

Hmm. Depends on which version you had installed. I think TWRP supports OTG since 2.6.3.x (not sure which version)

Hmmm maybe... I had twrp 2.6.3 and as I was worried about the device I didn't know what am I doing. I downloaded all the rooms requiring latest twrp and those didn't flash... Then I thought about adb sideload which I had totally forgotten... Then I first updated recovery via sideload then flashed paranoid Android xD

Either a running android system with enabled usb debugging
or
just enter twrp recovery(you don't need to select adb sideload), just connect it while in twrp.
