Root [help][q&a][ask anything thread]

Can anyone tell me how to stop unwarranted pop-ups when browsing? I keep on getting a screen offering to speed up my tablet, but i'm suspicious of that site.

On your device, go to, /system/customize/CID/default.xml.

Once there, start scrolling down until you find this:

Code: 
<BootAnimation animation="/system/customize/resource/boost_bootanimation.zip" />

You will add the following that you see highlighted in red:

Code: 
 <BootAnimation animation="/system/customize/resource/boost_bootanimation.zip" [COLOR="darkred"]audio="/system/customize/resource/htc_boot.mp3" />[/COLOR]

Download the recovery. Boot your device in to your bootloader. Plug device in to your computer. Open command window and type "fastboot devices". If you see what appears to be a serial number then you are connected.

Take the recovery and place it in the same directory where you currently have your fastboot/adb files.

Now type and enter, "fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img".

Without the quotations of course ;-).
 
Hey thanks I'll try that in the morning. I was wondering what do I need to s-off in 4.2.2? Because I s-off on my bricked sv with moonshine running 4.1.2 but idk if that would be the case for 4.2.2

Use rumrummer universal for 4.2.2.
 
Hi All,
for the last couple of weeks, my OneSV has been extremely laggy. i can type a whole sentence before the letters start to show up on the screen. I'm running the stock 4.2.2 software, rooted, with the official TWRP.
I have already wiped cache and reset the phone to stock. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
 
Do you have a lot of ram heavy apps that run in the background?

Go to settings> apps> running (tab)

And see if you are simply running out of ram. This will also adore which apps are using the bulk of your available ram and you can uninstall them accordingly

RAM 694MB/797MB
Facebook seems to be the biggest one @ 94MB.

other than that, Swype @ 38MB
 
How about internal storage?

Or even /system?

Do you convert a lot of apps to system apps?

It might just be simply time for a reflash :o
 
I hope this info isn't two posts down, (i looked I really did just not at every post) but I am having some trouble with a custom recovery. Here's the details: bootloader unlocked s_off , had CWM installed abd working, flashed Rom. Everything good. Then I almost had to return the phone so I ran RUU. My problem disappeared after that so I kept the phone instead. Here's where the problem comes in. I got the OTA update to 4.2.2 then unlocked the bootloader. I tried to refkash CWM (fastboot flash recovery xxxxxx.img) It says that it flashed fine , but when I go into recovery from hboot it just hangs. Pulled battery and tried to enter recovery... Just hangs on the "booting recovery" screen. I hope I'm just doing it wrong, but I thought I had it right :(
 
I guess I'm confused then. Here's a bit more backstory. I really couldnt say which version ( I ended up with far too many while on the search for root, and I gotta clean them up before I flash something incorrectly and do damage) but I certainly flashed your debloated deodexed stock from CWM . Is it because I hadn't updated to 4.2.2 ? I just want to know for my own benefit. I will try the TWRP and see if that works. Thanks

No, I'm fairly certain it was the rom itself. :o

But, afaik, the recovery i linked is the only one that works with the update. (someone correct me if I'm wrong)

Plus, imho, twrp is so much better. It offers so many additional options vs cwm

His deodex Rom is based on 4.2.2 while you are currently on 4.1.2. The only way his Rom would be compatible for your device is if you had the firmware files included. So, you need to restore your device back to 4.1.2 if it is currently borked. My TWRP builds are for 4.2.2. It will not work for 4.1.2 due to the kernel and a few other things in reference to the source itself which was used to build them. To omit any confusion in reference to you still being on 4.1.2 I will recommend that you use TWRP 2.6.3.x. You can go to the TWRP website and look up K2_CL Boost Mobile where they will provide the download link for it.

I don't know the full state of your situation so I will end this here.
