    Root I'm rooting for External SD card write access, what's simplest?

    Title pretty much says it ... I just want to be able to write to my SD card again. I tried TowelRoot which boasts a one-click root, my phone isn't supported. I'm just looking for the simplest root, I don't need to change from Stock ROM. I do appreciate suggestions.

    Root [T-Mobile] Argh, can't get a GPS lock

    I rooted, installed a couple of ROMs with TWRP, due to problems with those, I reverted to a backup. Since then I can't get a GPS lock no matter what I do. Up until I rooted this week, the GPS worked fine. It's hard to believe it's a hardware failure conveniently timed exactly when I rooted...

    This is an intermittent problem that is happening on and off since I rooted yesterday. Battery drain is much faster too. One article I read said to replace your SIM card, or just remount it. If anyone has ideas or troubleshooting help, fire away, thanks

    Root [T-Mobile] Help a brother pick a ROM

    There's a nice list of ROMs in the All Things Root guide, but I'm not getting the information I need to make a real choice. I need functionality, long battery life, and nothing unnecessary slowing down system processes. I do not need pretty lock screens, panoramic wall papers, widgets to make...

    Root [T-Mobile] Rooting Walmart Family Mobile

    Walmart Family Mobile is "powered" by T-Mobile, and when I boot my Samsung Galaxy S4 there is a T-Mobile splash screen with no mention of Walmart.

    Best Micro SD for the S4

    I ask this after my Sandisk 32GB Class 10 ULTRA started causing very regular "SD Card Unexpectedly Removed" errors. I switched back to a Sandisk 8GB Class 2, and all the errors have stopped entirely, I don't believe in the coincidence. So, to further explain, I'm looking for advice on which...

    Root [T-Mobile] Galaxy S4 for T-mobile, to root or not to root

    I was wondering if I could catch the words from the wise about something. I know exactly jack squat about the stock apps and ROM for the Samsung Galaxy S4 for T-mobile, or any Samsung phone, I've never owned one before (still waiting on it to arrive). I'd like a little help deciding if root is...

    Root Removing splash screens at startup

    I'm running Negalite's DEODEXed stock ROM, and I'd really like to ix-nay the three separate splash screens that run at startup. Is there an app that does this maybe, or will I have to flash another ROM?

    Root My first brick! ( fine, it wasn't actually bricked ;-p )

    On the subject of unbricking a hard bricked HTC EVO V 4G ... mine freezes at the same part of the boot up welcome screen every time. Once this happens the only way I can find to re-start it is to pull the battery. It happened when I was attempting to flash the stock RUU (using 4EXT) after...

    Root Why root?

    I just got my V a couple of days ago and I'm new to Android entirely. The term 'root' as I understand is being used to mean taking control of the system files that run your phone by editing them. I know that doing this will allow you to use different apps and delete the crap apps that come...
