Darchdroid like a2sd

Darchdroid 2.7 has an app2sd option that is applied to only new apps installed. Thus leaving the current apps where they are. there is also an option to move the apps in the manage apps. Is there another ROM running a similar type of a2sd? I havent found one. Some of the apps I use dont support JIT so I am unable to use the Darchdroid ROM. Any help would be appreciated.

In setting > applications > manage apps.. you can manually move apps to sdcard by selecting "move".
I think only ones stored in data/apps (3rd party apps) can be moved doing that method.

That's the option I'm looking for in a ROM other than Darchdroid. I've tried 3 others with no luck.

Ohh yea no other rom will have the option. They are all htc based roms, and no one has tried building them into the settings like that.

Thanks thats what I thought.

sideloading?

So ive been reading the direction threads to enable sideloading but i was hoping someone could give me some examples of apps that would require this.. I get the reason so root and will be doing that in about 30 sec, but im not sure what id want to install thats not in the app store..

The only reason I would sideload is for the fonts. There is a post in the vibrant forum with 30+ font apks. I didn't enable sideloading on the phone though. I use the sideload application from android central. You don't even have to root for that.

Well for example you can install both the audio boost app and the dpi changer app made I'm the development section. You can install set cpu without buying it from the market...there's many that you will encounter if you follow this forum on your phone and wish you could install without a computer...like I wish I could

Best root method & ROM for a newb?

Hey there,
I am trying to help a friend with their Droid, who is getting poor battery life and lag issues. I have no familiarity with this phone, so I was wondering if someone could recommend an easy root method and what they feel is the best ROM? Thank you.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

Universal one click rooter. Then install ROM Manager (free) from Market and download Shadow Rom v2. I've tried tons of ROMs and always go back to it. Fast and smooth!!
Copy the apk to phones memory card and use AndExplorer (or any file manager) to install it. Open it, tap Root. BAM! Rooted!

For GB based roms you need tools you can get from playmarket.

Help me - USB Tethering
Someone help me !!!
I am using Jusada Original ICS Final on Samsung Galaxy Ace. I need USB tethering.
Can someone suggest me a way to added the functionality in this rom ??
plz don't suggest me apps such as PDANET or Clockworkmod tether.
I have searched the entire forum bt couldn't find a permanent solution. Any help is highly appreciated.

simple solution is just move back to stock rom......there are no....other options available....i tried many roms...but none of them work...its better to have stock rom and update kernel for memory hack/battery extender...

Try the rom on the link on the previous page. USB tethering works. I'm sure it can make your breakfast too but I haven't found that option in the settings!

Thanks for the replies. but I am concern abt battery life too. I have tried many roms and wat I found out that the stock based roms lasts longer than other roms. I planning to switch to Stock rom lite 7.1 / Myth 2. Any body knows whether USB tethering works in these roms ??

Mate,
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538245 its stock rom Modded original os + Adrenaline and may great features. Everything works fine wifi tethering + wifi hotspot tethering + usb tethering. And if on some computer usb tethering wont work...you can always try to create a Dial up internet connection using your phone modem.
i'd hope that helps

1) I don't think it's as simple as that. If it was easy all roms would have working usb tethering.
2) search for the script. They usually have their own threads. If you can find it and find a flashable zip file for the script then unzip it and see where the changes are, for example in init.d folder(/system/etc/init.d). Then you can delete those files from your phone and reboot. If you are unsure about this, tell me the script you mean and I will look it up for you. Make a backup first!
3. As the name suggests, stock lite is built to have as few system apps as possible. Make a backup first because some system apps you think are bloatware might actually be vital. If you mess up your phone by deleting important apps then just restore your last good backup in recovery.
So to remove system apps, use titanium backup or similar app manager to remove it, if you don't have titanium then delete them from /system/app folder on your phone. If you want to be safe then freeze the app first to see if it makes any difference to your phones operation. If the ROM is odexed you will need to delete it's corresponding odex file in the same folder.
If you want to add system apps then paste into this folder (deodex ROM only) and change permissions to (rw-r--r--).
To move system apps (I assume you mean to a user app?) depends on a few things. If you have a good app manager like titanium backup use that. If the app is on the play store then remove it from system and reinstall from the play store and it will be a user app. If not then move it from /system/app to /data/app (depending on your preferred method of getting around the limited internal space on the ace, like link2sd, cronmod, etc. your user apps could be somewhere else) and ensure the permissions stay the same. (rw-r--r--)
I hope this helps and I'm sure that if this answer to your questions can be improved or corrected, someone will do that!
Best of luck!

[HOW-TO] Installing Viper4Android (V4A) Audio on a Lollipop Tab S [Updated May 12th]

UPDATED: Updated V4A flash file to Viper4Android v2.4.0.1 and added notes about the TabS AOSP Marshmallow custom ROM compatibility by Schischu.
The obligatory warning:
"I take no responsibility for what happens to your device if you follow this guide. This procedure works with multiple Audio/Video apps. It should work for any Samsung device, but I can't confirm, so feedback please if it works for your device."
- 3DSammy
Root with SuperSU is required either using a standard rooting method that trips KNOX or following this guide "[GUIDE] How to root without tripping knox - Kitkat and Lollipop, Locked bootloader" by ashyx. Having SuperSU installed and functioning is essential to get around Viper4Android's need for SELinux permissive mode which is not possible when you are using the Samsung stock firmware.
As of June 8th maximumentropy posted a method to use SuperSU to work around Viper4Android's need for SELinux permissive mode. This requirement was problematic on Samsung devices where the SELinux mode changer app did not work with the Samsung stock firmware.
The instructions and flash files below will allow both custom ROM and rooted stock ROM devices to install Viper4Android, an amazing audio replacement.
Note: V4A and the included flash file works with the AOSP Marshmallow custom ROM compatibility by Schischu. Any of the SoundAlive comments below can be ignored for this custom ROM.
Steps:
1) Download the two flash files "ViPER4Android-supolicy.zip" and "LolliViPER_TAB_S.zip" (at the bottom of this post)
2) Flash ViPER4Android-supolicy.zip and LolliViPER_TAB_S.zip with FlashFire or a Custom Recovery (e.g. TWRP) of your choice.
3) If you want Spotify to work and maybe other audio/video apps then Samsung's "SoundAlive" must be removed or disabled. Options:
Backup then freeze or delete "SoundAlive 2.0" with Titanium Backup
Backup then delete the "/system/priv-app/SoundAlive_Tablet_20" directory with a File Manager that has RW "/system" privileges
Remove "SoundAlive" with an app like "System Remover app" found on the Playstore
4) Reboot your device and then start Viper4AndroidFX and install its drivers when prompted then reboot once more
5) Start the Viper4AndroidFX app and configure audio for the device speakers/headset/bluetooth as desired. Please refer to Viper4Android XDA forum for details about the extensive options.
NOTES:
Be aware that if you do not disable/remove SoundAlive then Spotify will disable V4A until the next device reboot. Causing confusion about whether V4A is actually working reliably. Other audio apps may also demonstrate this tendency.
If you check the V4A driver status and audio is not playing the status will show "Processing: No" that should change to "Yes" when audio is playing and V4A is working correctly.
A Rule-of-Thumb with V4A is to make sure to turn off any Audio/Video player app's specific equalizers, gain controls, audio effects, ... etc, as they interfere with Viper4Android. If you still cannot get Viper4Android working with a specific app, that's not listed in this thread, then search first then if necessary ask on the V4A's XDA forum.
So far the following Audio/Video apps have been successfully tested with V4A:
Neutron audio player (Settings and uncheck Equalizer;Sound Sound;DSP-Effects->Surround Sound;Relay Gain;Normalization)
MX Player Pro (Settings->Audio->Volume Boost unchecked)
Spotify (If it is working properly the Spotify->Settings->Equalizer will directly display the V4A app)
TuneIn Radio
Google Music Player
PowerAmp (PowerAmp Settings->Advanced->Uncheck everything)
YouTube
ViralPro (a YouTube alternative)
Apps that do not work with V4A (likely due to the removal of "SoundAlive"):
Samsung's "Music" app (still plays audio but not by utilizing V4A processing)
Please post any apps not mentioned here, which you either get working or that have problems with after checking the V4A XDA forum.
If you have SuperSU working and have never tried V4A do so and you ears with thank you!

Hi and thanks a lot for helping others out with the notoriously difficult to install viper app.
I presume the supolicy zip is intended as an alternative to setting selinux permissive. Any negatives to using one method over the other?
Also, can you please explain what your application zip does exactly. Does it just install the original viper as a system application or did you make any other modifications?
Thanks!

Either method of getting V4A permissive mode will work but if you rooted and maintained KNOX the stock bootloader blocks SELinux from setting permissive mode so the supolicy is your only alternative. Besides I read a comment from Chainfire who indicates that using permissive mode system wide is poor security practice. On my Nexus 5 which is running marshmallow I found all I needed was two supolicies to get all my root apps running and they were for V4A and stickmount.
The supplied V4A flash file installs V4A in /system/priv-app, sets permissions and attempts to delete two apps that the stock Samsung firmware does not have. Those audio apps are in the Google stock firmware and do no harm as there is nothing to delete. The flash file is based off one for V4A on a Nexus 5. I choose to not delete the Samsung audio app as some people may want to back it up, besides I documented three ways to deal with that app.
I hope you enjoy V4A.

Yes the app works on KitKat but the directory structure for apps on /system changed. I'd suggest going to the ViPER4Android XDA forum and searching for KitKat installs. That forum link is in the OP (first post).
