Hello.
I'm rather new to the scene, so please forgive me if this is not the place to post about this.
I am using an LG g3 with Android 5.0 rooted and I am the owner of a Gear 2.
Unfortunately, I am unable to install any new apps on my watch (thanks Tizen) even though I managed to get the Samsung Gear manager to work just fine.
Is there any way to get a working version of the app store to install?
I have read a few posts where people where achieving mixed successes by editing their build props, but seeing as I am rather reluctant to kill my phone I thought I'd throw in the towel and ask for some advice before doing something silly.
Thanks in advance.

First, quick intro - finally making the move to android from iOS after years of procrastinating. My galaxy note 2 arrives Wednesday eve and I couldnt be more excited. I purchased the n7100, unlocked international version.
(1) To update to 4.1.2 when it arrives - is this automatic or is there something I need to do to get it right away?
(2) I saw two ways to make any app multi-window functional. The first is by modifying it in windows, the second is through an app on the phone itself. It is my understanding that for the latter, i need to be rooted. Is that the case for the windows application too?
(3) I dont want to install a custom rom just yet because i want to tinker with s-note and the s-pen apps. However, regarding rooting - is there any reason not to root?
Thanks

Hi! Let's see if I can help:
It's automatic. Your phone should check for updates automatically every few days or week or something like that. If you plug it into your computer and open KIES it'll check for the update right away every time you plug it in. If not, and you want the OTA update, you can go to the settings and about your phone and then updates and you can check manually, but that's if you want to check manually! Otherwise, you'll get a notification eventually
To do that, you're going to need to root your device either way. Both methods require root from what I understood. You're changing a core apk in your phone.
Rooting is up to you. A lot of people root, and a lot of others don't. I believe MOST people ORIGINALLY Rooted to get more control and better functionality over their device. I'm not sure this is the case with the Note 2. A lot of people say that the Stock ROM is fantastic and you don't get a lot more by changing roms, but as for rooting you get more access over apps. I came from iOS years ago (from the iPhone 4) and I have rooted only once, because I think Samsung and Android gives you MILES more opportunities over iOS. For me, Android is "prerooted" in nature in comparison to iOS. I'd say, FIRST check out the device and see if you can do everything you want without rooting. I do everything I want without being rooted. I'm also not the epitome of a typical Android user. I have Folder Sync to sync all my folders across Dropbox and SugarSync. I have apps running in the background, and I edit pictures like a pro! I multi-task a million times better than iOS!!!! So it really depends on you. Try out Android, maybe without rooting it's enough! Maybe it isn't Then you root
Hope I've helped!

Thanks and you certainly did help... There is one app in particular and im not sure it supports multiwindow (withings baby monitor) - I will know in a few days. If it doesnt, it would be great to have this app with multi-window support and I would root in order to do this... I guess we can wait and see... Thanks for your response.

No problem. As from seeing the apps I have installed almost no apps support the multi window feature that aren't huge. Facebook twitter chrome plus a lot of the Samsung apps like gallery and video, messaging and snote Google Talk and youtube as well. For more apps: hack!

So do I need to hack or theroetically, if someone modified the app for me, could i then put it on the sd card and install it or would i need to be rooted first?
Great answer zkyevolved!
Other apps that work uith multi-window are popping up every week. Greader Pro now works as does lecturenotes and solid explorer.
Emanuelme. If you want the most fluid multi-tasking experience download SwipePad with the (paid) "recent apps add-on. It will blow you away and make your old iphone friends very jealous

Hi,
I don't know if the 4.1.2 update is being rolled out yet, but if it isn't, u can just flash it from odin, no root is required, and u can still keep your warranty.
As for the multi Window, you will need to be rooted, and preferably on a deodexed rom.
If u look in the dev section, u will see a multi Window zip file u can flash, that will give the any app multi Window.
The only reason not to root would be:
The readers hub, and the learners hub, don't work if you are rooted.
Your a noob
Rooting won't void your warranty, as u can just flash a stock rom and u will be unrooted.
I am currently working on a dual boot kernel for the note 2, so then u can have the stock rom, and a second rom, installed at the same time, and choose which to boot in to when u start the rom, but i am still finishing it ect at the moment.
Cheers
Corey

I am a paranoid person ...
A new user has posted a few times about a website that offers a download they say can root many devices including the new Sprint Tab SM-T217S.
The website is out of China and it is a new site. The company behind it is Kingsoft Technology Ltd. Their website has a few translation issues but it is mostly readable.
The site claims their software has been used by millions of users on hundreds of thousands of devices.
Perhaps they do exactly what they say they do, I don't know.
What seems more likely is their software may install something insidious on the Windows machine and the android device you are rooting.
I may test the software on a fresh Windows machine but I am no expert.
Does anyone have experience with KingApp? If I am way off base here please post that here.

There was some posts in another thread about this when I was searching how to root my Sprint Tab 3. A couple people checked the code they could and could not find any issues and several had rooted their devices with no issues.
I rooted mine last night this way as well with no issues at all. I scanned my PC prior to installing the app and right after installing the app as well as after uninstalling the app and nothing came up at all in the scans at all. My Tab rooted with no issues and is running great. Installed Greenify and Titanium Backup and got both set-up and some of the bloat apps frozen and have had no issues and the Tab 3 is running great.
Thanks for the info. I am not really concerned about the rooting. I will copy the Data and System partitions from the Tab before and after so I can compare.
I primarily worry about the software installing a root-kit or something on the PC. I still have not had a chance to mess with it, maybe this weekend. I think I will try running it in a Virtual windows install.

Its asking to enable USB debugging in developer options which I don't see in the settings on the tab. I've rooted several phones so I'm not new, But developer options is not where I would expect it to be. I'm guessing job security cause them to move it. Maybe?

As far as I can tell the KingoApp website root tool did not infect my computer and it flawlessly rooted the 2 Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 (sprint SM-T217S) tablets I have.
I hate to admit that I sometimes get things from torrent sites but doing so has made me fairly adept at spotting rootkits and viri.
Of course using a virtual machine would be the preferred method to use something like this. I am paranoid of the source....

KingoApp rooted my Galaxy Tab 3 7,0 AT&T SM-T217A version as well
I am new to Galaxy Tab 3, but not rooting and flashing. I rooted also using that sight and all seems well.
Are there any roms for this version of the tab 3..?
I've been using this app for over a year now and haven't experienced any issues. Recently the developer updated the app and I think I might be running into some BIG issues and wondering if anyone else is either running it just fine or having some of the same issues as I.
Currently I'm using Ditto note 3 ROM, once I install the delayed lock app and reboot I am no longer able to receive any type of data signal and I'm unable to send or receive any MMS. Once I uninstall the app I'm back up again.
I've also done some testing on Mean Rom and got the same results, if I install the app, I can't MMS.. removing it I am allowed to again.
I wonder if it's the 4.3 roms that are having the issues or if its the new version of the app that is having the issue. OR COULD IT REALLY BE MY PHONE? somehow I doubt its my phone since uninstalling the app gives me all the ability of my phone again.
The developer hasn't replied to my support ticket yet.. who knows if he will.. figured I'd reach out to the xda community and see what kind of feed back I can get.
Thanks in advance!
The app developer clearly states in his description that this device may not work properly...and also states that android 4.3 will not work with his software...
It sounds like the time to search an alternative method to delay your lock...
Have you searched the xposed module archives for a compatible method ???
It's highly likely that xposed will have a modification capable of this ...
I'll search as well...and post here if I find a solid solution...g

Hi XDA, I'm a long time lurker first time poster
I wanna know if any of you guys can help me figure out why i can't, for the life of me, root my LG G3 D855. I have the 16gb version that i bought in Denmark (where i live) a month ago
I only root my phone when i feel the need to or if I'm dissatisfied with the UI (like i was with my previous Samsung Galaxy S2) but with the LG G3 i didn't find the use for root. The battery was great, and it only got better with Qualcomm Battery Guru and the UI is just stunning, although there are some things missing but i still loved it.
THE PROBLEM
I recently updated my phone to 5.0 and the UI just got better BUT the battery is sheit. Like really really ****. Worse than my Samsung Galaxy S2 after two years of use. After googling intensively i found that there are many options to saving battery with a rooted phone so i decided to root my phone. The problem is that NOTHING works with my phone.
I tried IOroot, Stump root, PurpleDr4ke, One-click root and Towelroot. I updated all drivers, i got LG PC Suite to make sure my phones drivers was up to date and still nothing works. I'm doing everything as all the XDA and Youtube guides tells me to do and still nothing works.
QUESTION
I haven't been able to find a single website that tells me that my build number is supported so my question is: Do i have one of the few G3's that actually can't be rooted as of now?? and if i actually can't root my phone then can someone help me with the battery? Why is Google services taking so much power. I hardly get 2 hours of SOT after my update. This was never an issue before upgrading my OS
I have attached pictures of my build number and my battery stats
You will have to down grade your device to 4.4.2 first, then you can root and install one of the rooted versions of 5. Think you need to use the lg flash tool lots of threads will show you how

Actually, the same problem i have when install 5.0
After Alot of searching i find the following
1.disable the google now
2.disable google reports location 2 options
3.enable synchronization when you need
4.disable allow WiFi scanning ~WiFi advances setting
5.give it time to notice the difference

I'll try that when I get home. Thank you
It's worth mentioning though that I have tried rooting before the lollipop update (just to see if I could) but I haven't tried with ioroot or towelroot so I'll definitely try that

If the downgrade doesn't help and I'm stuck with stock 5.0 I'll try this. Thanks

I think you would get a more valuable response if you stated why you want root. I've just upgraded to a Tab S from a rooted Nexus 10 and so far have not found a "must have" reason to root and loose my warranty. That does not mean I'll never root though. I've already replaced the launcher with Nova launcher and changed the icons with an icon pack but neither required root. The one root apps I miss are Viper4Android and GMD Gestures but Nova Launcher provides an acceptable alternative to GMD for now.
So what do you require root for?

What model tab s do you have? Kingroot V4 rooted my kitkat t805 just fine. Doesnt work on lollipop though.
Sadly did it on my normal tablet before having any root access what's so ever without installing another rom on it. lol. wanted to test it to see if it would work, sadly it didn'. i have a Galaxy Tab S SM-T805Y.. it's the 10.5 samsung tablet.

Sometimes it takes more than once. Did you let it reboot and then continue?
Yes and unfortunately it didn't want to work.
