Does Root Explorer work on the Nexus S rooted?
The changelog says it supports Gingerbread, but I don't know anyone using it with the Nexus S yet. Anyone have it and know for sure it works and can modify /system/ stuff?

Works perfect.... first app installed, couldn't use a phone without it
Yep same as above. Love it.
Thanks guys, purchased it last night, works great.

I made this small app to download and install the latest update for the xoom for those of us that are rooted. It's very basic but works. Hope my 30 min is worth while
After install re-root by:
adb remount && adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
thanks
This will help many! Thank you.
Thanks JRummy worked like a charm
App worked like a charm for me. Took me a while to get adb loaded on my wife's laptop but otherwise smooth as silk..
3.0.1 and rooted and running at 1504.
Thank for the app!

Do we have a re root process yet after updating?
Wow! Thanks a ton, that was absolutely painless.

Thanks man, this worked great!
Wish I could make the program in 30 min...even a month. I tried to teach my self how to make apps but no luck. Not something my brain can learn as easy as other computer stuff

Worked like a charm. But I'm not near a computer for a couple days. Any way to re-root from the xoom using terminal emulator or the like?
Didnt work for me, same issue as the OTA update.
Xoom reboots, for a few seconds theres the android with the cogs, then suddenly it turns into download mode (android with ! triangle).
A few minutes later the xoom reboots and im back where i started... could it be my renaming lots of files in the /app folder?

That is exactly your problem.... you renamed system apps. Change the names back to the original and you should be fine.
Ended up flashing stock again and the update works. But was it the kernel or the app renaming i wonder... quadrant scores are seem lower than before 1700.

Not sure if this is 100% necessary.
I'm in Germany (thanks, Army), and came home to an update notification on my Xoom. I got excited about SD functionality and Flash, so I updated without thinking.
With the official 3.0.1 update, the only thing that I noticed was that SetCPU wasn't functioning due to loss of root user priveleges. I re-flashed rootboot.img (might have been unnecessary), and fixed the permissions on the su binary.
Maybe this is more of a problem for those of you who are stateside, but can anyone else confirm that this issue is as minor as the "fix?" Since we still need to drop down to a terminal, we might as well accept the update then fix permissions. I think maybe a script that combines these two tasks would better serve the community.
Hey guys,
here is the bootanimation from my xoom. I tested it and it works on the streak!
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21064708/bootanimation.zip
you will need root. rename the exsisting bootanimation.zip in /system/media to bootanimation.old then copy the above zip into that directory. Reboot and youll have the HC boot animation.
Now my themed out Streak 7 looks even more like HC
if you havent seen it yet this is what it looks like

not sure, havent tested it on a phone running cyanogen. only on my streak 7, I know replacing the boot animation is the same process for CM but not sure if this particular one will work with.. actually I just tested it on my mytouch 4g but that's running cm 7 and it worked fine
You can do this without root, just drop it into /data/local.
Can I install this on my desire using clockwork mod?

As I don't have a Hulu Plus subscription anymore I can't check but it may be similar to other apps like Google Video and Blockbuster where it detects if you're rooted. An app you can try is "Temp Root Remover" it'll rename SU to MU so other apps can't detect it and when you're done watching you can use it to rename MU back to SU.

Does anyone understand or have any more information about the DRM restrictions if you root your device.
Are the DRM restrictions built into some apps or into Android itself? It would be terrible to pay for content and then to loose access to it, because someone uses some intelligence' by rooting their device.
If I root my Nexus 7, will I be prevented from accessing the material which i've purchased.
Is there a workaround for this ?
I saw a comment from a 'rootKepper' type app which summons this up well :
"Vote with your dollars: Don't accept being a customer of companies restricting your freedom with defective and and inefficient technical measures."
Cheers
I've rooted (but still on stock) and not have come across any apps that have restricted my access of using them because I was rooted. If worse comes to worse you can just unroot your device to use the app.
What would be sweet though is if you can sorta "hide" root and then make it only visible for a specific app that you want to use that uses root access.

Cool thanks for sharing your experience. I feel motivated to give it a go.
I've never had the need to "hide" root, but I'm pretty sure that Voodoo OTA Rootkeper offers this exact functionality.

Oh neither have I but now that I am thinking about it, I remember CynogenMod having a feature once upon a time (I havent flashed a rom of theirs in a while so I dont know if they still have it) but they were able to turn root off and on in the settings I guess maybe for situations like this.
Never faced any DRM issue on any unrooted device. Both my Galaxy S3 and Nexus 7 are rooted and never faced any problem. Reason? Because this problem does not exist. I remember Google Play movies used to complain about rooted device and it does not play movie on rooted device but it has changed since version 2.09c and we are on version 2.21 now. Google has officially stopped caring about root and now they rather support the root and hacking.

I rooted just because the process requires you to wipe your device completely (even SD card data). So better do it ASAP then later and fight moving data.
Root is just admin rights with regards to the file system. Having Root access allows you to backup system files (App data) using awesome backup programs like Titanium Backup and DataSync. Having root also allows custom recoveries to be installed with apps like ClockWorkMod and Goo.IM
I think the only thing that you won't be able to do is rent movies with a rooted phone. Doesn't it block you if your rooted?
Also sharp2G, what did you use to change the screen? Trinity app?

This. I've had 5 rooted devices over the course of three years and six Android versions (2.2 to 4.2) and I've only encountered one app that I can remember (Google play movies) that didn't work with root.

Actually. You don't need to be rooted to backup app data anymore.
The latest SDK from Google allows you to use a backup command to backup your app data and settings as well as restore them. No root required. It will even encrypt your backup as well if you want.
I for one am glad to see Google implementing this feature. It's about time.

Just curious as to why root then? I too love stock JB but it feels so weird to me to not be rooted. I feel like stock has everything I need though. Just wondering what things you needed to be root for if your running the stock ROM. I'd be interested!

Titanium Backup, USB OTG, changing to tablet UI, etc.
Root!
Root! It has great expansion options for your tablet. When you root, try using ModaCo's ROM and see how little things change. When you are done using and learn a little more about rooting and the abilities that it enforces you to use, switch over to moles Parandroid ROM. Its great and requires a little bit more expertise in the rooting world, but before you know it you will be an expert!
Cheers,
Vanka
Don't know if anyone has mentioned it, but Skype did give me some sort of a message about not running on modified versions of android, but it worked anyway. Running stock ROM, trinity kernel in tablet ui.

What does tablet ui mean ? Is it about changing the screen density to a certain setting or is there more to it ?

Hi
I followed leapinlar`s guide and I now I have a rooted HD+ and HD. I am wondering if it is possible to use another superuser app on top of the one that came with the leapinlar`s files. I had some perssions issues with couple apps and it was recommended that I use CM SuperUser (I am guessing that we are not using that one at the moment)
I am not going to remod this, I just want to install on Play and use it. I just want to make sure I do not mess up the rooting.
thanks

Someone in another thread tried it and while it installed, did not function properly. But it won't hurt to try it, you can always uninstall.

Hi
I tried it and it messed up the root and the mod. So never try it.
I thought about putting another version of superuser app but glad I didn't.
Lucky I looked at this post.
