2: Press back then head into developer options - Toggle OEM unlocking, USB debugging, Remote ADB (if connected to home network), then enable Adb Root (2846).
(On PC side)
1: Download the Minimal ADB portable zip, then create an ADB folder and copy contents from the adb zip into the created folder, copy cmd.exe from system32 into that folder as well.
2: Open cmd.exe type "adb connect 192.xxx.xx.xxx:5555" will prompt the device - allow the connection, tap accept, and ok.
3: Type "adb remount", then "adb pull /system/qc.prop" (make a copy).
4: Open qc.prop with notepad or editor. in the qc.prop search for (persist.sys.navigationbar.right=)
and change to (persist.sys.navigationbar.right=true), close, and save.
5: Type "adb push qc.prop /system/qc.prob" , then type "adb shell chmod 644 /system/qc.prop" then type "adb reboot".
Sorry, the steps were missing, also there is a way to change the navbar to be on the bottom if you change (#decide the postion of navigationbar. 0:bottom 1:left 2:right
ro.navigationbar.position=1) to (#decide the postion of navigationbar. 0:bottom 1:left 2:right
ro.navigationbar.position=0) but you lose access to the gear icon and reverse cam icon.

[Q] Gingerbread ASOP mms.apk

Is it possible for me to just take the mms.apk from a gb rom and install it on my current asop rom without any issues ?
My current rom doesnt use the asop mms.apk and I want to go back to it
Also if its possible and someone has that mms.apk can you please post it
Here You go! The file's attached. I recommend it to install it with ADB. You may also use (I think) something like Root Explorer, which I don't use, because it is a paid app Here I present you a free way to do it.
How to do it? Here (I'm assuming you use Windows):
1) First make sure You install Your phone's USB drivers in your system
2) Then download Android's SDK:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
3) Don't really remember how it went after Installation, but you should have an "android-sdk-windows" folder (assuming you use Windows). Put it on your Desktop.
4) Enable USB Debugging in your phone (Under Applicaions -> Development in Settings). Then connect your phone to PC via USB
5) Do a WinKey+R combo. "Run" window should appear. Type
Code:
cmd
and hit Enter.
6) A black console should appear. Type:
Code:
cd Desktop
cd android-sdk-windows
cd platform-tools
dir
you should be able to do a bunch of files, including adb.exe. If you don't, you either messed up folder names or didn't put android sdk folder in your Desktop.
7) Now (in normal Windows Explorer) move Mms.apk to your platform-tools folder inside android-sdk-windows.
8) Now, in console do:
Code:
adb start-server
adb remount (if at this point it says "no device found" you either screwed up your phone's USB drivers, or USB connection, or something else, no idea)
adb shell
9) Now type:
Code:
cd /system/app
cp Mms.apk Mms.apk.bak (to backup your current messaging app, in case something goes wrong, you just do the opposite - cp Mms.apk.bak Mms.apk)
exit
10) Now type:
Code:
adb push Mms.apk /system/app/Mms.apk (should say it's fine)
adb kill-server
Remove your phone from USB, reboot it. Should be done just fine.
Thanks so much warnec!
Im hoping this solves my delayed sms problem with htc messaging app.
Also, i installed this on my Incredible S with revolution hd 2.3.3, and sometimes it force closes, is this normal?

unlocking samsung android based phones-method-

For safety reasons commands should be COPY & PASTED (without quotation marks).
Do this at your own risk.
1a. Make sure you have the USB drivers installed (they come with Kies).
1b. Make sure your phone is rooted. Use Universal Androot.
2. Create a new folder called EUROPA. Save this folder anywhere such as in My Documents or Desktop.
3. Download adb_usb_drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...2&d=1306420890
4. Extract adb_usb_drivers into the EUROPA folder.
5. Open a Command Prompt Window (Windows Start button then search / run the term "cmd" to open Command Prompt)
6. Type "cd" (leave a space) then drag and drop the EUROPA folder onto cmd screen and press enter.
7. Connect phone to USB.
8. Type "adb shell"(enter)
9. "su"(enter)
10. "cd /"(enter)
11. "mount -o remount,rw -t rootfs rootfs /"(enter)
12. "mkdir /efs"(enter)
13. "mount -o nosuid,ro,nodev -t vfat /dev/block/stl5 /efs"(enter)
14. "cat /efs/mits/perso.txt"(enter)
You will see some numbers at start of file....
Then you will see your SP unlock code followed by some 000000000 codes and another code. Write the first one (and second just in case) down.
15. "umount /efs"(enter)
16. "reboot"(enter)
Shut the cmd window.
Shut down the phone and put it a "locked" sim. Start your phone, input the pin, and when asked for a unlock code give it the first code. Your phone is now unlocked.

i used this method to get the unlock codes for two samsung gravity smarts so it does work on samsung phones only i belive
i did all of this through Term

Juggernaunt 5.0 ROM Control Icon Change!

I just posted this in General but realized this might be a more appropriate place for it ..
Anyone else not like the unicorn as the "ROM Control" icon on Juggernaut 5.0?
No offense to the creator .. unicorns just aren't my thing.
Here is a Settings.apk that changes the icon to something a little more standard looking.
Prerequisites
Root
ADB
Something to mount /system/ as writable (I use ES File Explorer)
Instructions
1. Place the attached "Settings.apk" in the folder where you have ADB setup (usually either "tools" or "platform-tools" in your SDK folder)
2. Type "cmd" in Run Dialog
3. Type cd and then type the path to the folder where you have ADB setup
Example
Code:
cd c:/android/android-sdk/platform-tools/
4. On your phone, mount system as writable (IMPORTANT : Your system must be writable or you will get a read-only error in the command prompt)
5. Push the modified "Settings.apk" to the /system/app/ folder
Code:
adb push Settings.apk /system/app/
You may or may not get some Force Closes after doing this - IT'S OKAY!
6. Reboot your phone - the fastest way is just type "adb reboot" since you already have the command prompt up and are in the correct directory.
Congratulations! You changed your ROM Control icon!

**EDIT** You can use the RE Live Distro mentioned below to do the above commands if you dont want to fuss with installing adbd on your computer.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Root+Magisk]
If your'e on Windows you will have to download and install python and git and MTKClient and UsbDK 64 and abdb. I'm not going to get into how to do all that because there is an Ubuntu image tailored made for all MTK based devices. It has all the programs installed. it is called RE Live made by viperbjk . I recommend doing it this way especially if you have any other devices using MTK chips.
Download Re Live DVD V3. The account credentials are Username: user Password: user
You can create the bootable usb thumb drive with Rufus if you're using windows.
The following steps are based on using the Re Live DVD:
***Your phone must be unlocked before you can root it. *****
1) Power off the phone and do not have it connected to the computer.
2) Boot up RE Live and type 'user' at the login screen.
3) Double-click the 'MTK' icon on the desktop.
4) Plug the USB cable into the computer. Do not plug it into the phone.
5) In the terminal type: python mtk r boot,vbmeta boot.img,vbmeta.img
6) When you see "Preloader - Status: waiting for PreLoader VCOM, please connect mobile" in the terminal you will hold the down volume button and plug the cable into the phone. Let go of the button a second or two after you connect phone. It will show you a progress bar as it downloads the 2 images you need.
7) Unplug the phone and power it on.
8) from that same terminal screen type: wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/v...9e22fa276698f6c03bc1168df2c10/app-release.apk
or use the shortened url if you dont want to type all that: wget https://tinyurl.com/magiskmtk
9) plug the phone and type in the terminal: adb install release-apk [ look at the phone and accept auth rsa request on mobile screen so it can install the app.]
10) in the terminal type: adb push boot.img /sdcard/Download
11) Start magisk, tap on Install, select boot.img from /sdcard/Download.
12) in the terminal type: adb shell ls /sdcard/Download [You should see the boot.img file and another file name 'magisk_patched.something.something.img']
13) in the terminal type: adb shell mv [name of the patched file] boot.patched
14) in the terminal type: adb pull /sdcard/Download/boot.patched
15) Unplug the phone and turn it off (keep the usb plugged into the computer)
16) in the terminal type: python mtk w boot,vbmeta boot.patched,vbmeta.img.empty
17) When you see "Preloader - Satus: waiting..." hold the volume down button and connect the phone. release button when u see it connect and let it do its thing.
18) Unplug phone and power it on. Phone will now be rooted.
