Guides
- rooting information (courtesy of mdmd):
since the xcover root guide is still very empty I wanted to let the people know, that it works with zergRush. I used DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.zip from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=784296&stc=1&d=1321435888
Notes:
- The zip contains a windows runme.bat; since I am linux-only I executed the commands therein step-by-step from the cmd line, which was a good thing since:
- the upload of SuperUser.apk to /system/app fails, because: No space left on device.... which is actually true. Pushing this apk to /data/app worked and does hopefully not reduce its functionality - un-rooting guide
- removing apps guide / safe apps to remove
- various how-to guides, etc.
