Hi there
Us there a screenshot app that will work with my device? Its not unlocked or rooted (its just a stock device)
Cheers!

Your device must be rooted to make screenshot on the device itself.
The only way to make screenshots without root is the Android-SDK.
Here is a tutorial
I don't know any other method.

Root procedure is done in a few minutes. Then install 'ShootMe' (available in Market) and you can take screenshots when you shake your phone.

What exactly is rooting and what does it do? Is it the same as unlocking the device? How do I do it?
What are the upsides and downsides to rooting?
Thanks!

If you root your device, you have access to the root partition of your phone. You can change whatever you want.
I don't know any downside

Yup, this is exactly why I rooted my Nexus. No more ads and ShootMe is great!!!
Can't find ShootMe in the market.. has it been removed ?
Download "No Root Screenshot It" from the Market. Its $4.99 but its the only way that you can take screenshots without root.

I was talking about no root screenshot it lol. I found it much easier to just use the sdk for screenshots, plus both of those require root so they don't really help the op
I think for the best quality use ddms. If you have SDK installed plug your phone in, open command prompt and type
ddms
Then device> screen capture

This worked way better than trying to root my phone.
I had some issues earlier in the day trying to figure out why my DDMS wouldn't work and since I've been using Eclipse, this tutorial worked WAY better and faster. I didn't have anything to install, just didn't know how to get to it within Eclipse. Now I do.
Now if only I knew how to "thank" this post..... (Yeah, I'm a Noob.)
I actually made a youtube video about this last week for Mac users.

Hi guys,
this is my first post in Nexus S section. Wildfire is my previous device.
This is an ADblock file that will block almost all annoying advertisement (except those app made by Chinese from China [it do block, but not all]) in your app and browser as well.
Advantages
Free at all, does not use system service, update is not required.
Attachments
HOST.zip: Updated on June 2011
HOST1.zip: Updated on June 2010 (try this one if the first one doesn't block some of your app ads.)
Instruction:
1. Unzip the file and you will get a file named HOSTS.
2. Copy and paste the HOSTS via root explorer to system/etc.
3. Reboot system, and open an app with advertisement and you will see the advertisement is blocked.
Thanks for viewing.
Please hit a "Thanks" if you like it!
Would this work on sgs miui as well?

This script blocked ads from 21k site. It is like windows, they built in the feature but lack of ad block file.
I checked root tools from market, it doesn't block much of the site. It is paid app..

No one here uses adblock we all use "adfree" which is free and does EVERYTHING.
Personally, I have recently decided to keep the ads. They are the sole reason we have some quality games especially free ones. Its not like we are in abundance with android app developers, if simply having a small ad will keep them going, please support them.
Excuse me if it's posted, I didn't see it. Grab it here! And damn it is sexy

Can Google make it so when my apps are updating, it only does it one at a time? The phone becomes practically unusable when 10 apps are trying to download at the same time. Super annoying.

Maybe there's a possibility, like the netflix mod, to bypass the root check by someone that has the knowledge to do that sort of thing

How do you manually update an App after installing this latest Market app.
Example:
I've installed the new market place and notice that the Amazon UK app had an update this morning. I have set this app to manual update, but when I open the app through the new market, the only 2 buttons are 'open' and 'uninstall', there's no update button.
Confused? I am... any ideas guys?

How did you bypass the checker?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
Is this possible and how?
There's a tool called "ddms" in the android SDK that will allow you to take screenshots. The phone has to be plugged into the computer to do it but that doesn't really bother me.
I searched but couldn't find a free app (that worked) and was too cheap to buy a paid app for it...
As far as I could find there is NO built in way to take a screenshot on this phone.
Not built in anything but ics and developed custom ROMs like CM and MIUI

I installed root checker, but that's it.
What do you folks suggest one does with a freshly root N3?
backing up?
removing bloatware?
make the powerful N3 even better?
what things have you rooting pros done with your new N3,
are there "must do" things as well?
I know some of you have really improved your stock N3, what do you suggest one do fresh after rooting?
Titanium Backup is a must for freezing and/or removing bloatware.
After that, check out Exposed Framework and Wanam, That will keep you busy for a while.
I would recommend a custom ROM

Spend some time and flash any ROMs that appear interesting till you find one you like. Install Xposed framework and browse through all the modules and look for anything that interests you; Wanam and App Setting are probably the 2 most popular modules and sometimes installed already on custom ROMs.

ATT Note 3 android development thread is where all the ROMs made for our phone will be.
Welcome to the community! Titanium backup pro is a must if you're going to be romming and modding you're android devices. Custom roms are definitely the way to go especially being new to android modding. There are a few really smart dudes developing great custom roms for the n9005a. They do all the work that you would want done and they're really good at it. I recommend knoxraid by @drakeymcmb. He has been involved with romming this phone since before we had a recovery to flash from. There a bunch of helpful people that follow his thread.

What does the "Pro" version give you that the free version doesn't, (can't find any info on that in the play store)
Allows you to freeze apps, and allows for automated restore operations. Well worth the money if you plan on restoring backups across multiple roms.

What else, us newbies what to learn more.
This is not my app I had nothing to do with the development of this app. I simply found this a couple years ago and it used to work on my first RAZR and RAZR HD. So I figured what the hell let's try it. I'm on T-Mobile and have 2.5 gigs of wifi tether included in my account. I installed this and turned it on. And it works. I was and still am at 2.2 gigs used since I installed it and my son has been playing Forza Horizons thru XBox live on his 360. And the T-Mobile account app does not register any extra data used on the WiFi tether section. The Xbox even updated and the game did an update also.

Installed perfectly pushing apks to system but that one feature was gone, I took pics in a room lit only by a tv and the hacked cam was actually visible, smooth, no stutter or blur. While the uhd kept trying to focus and if you read the mods op statement he upped all the fps and etcetera so that makes since. Hell I'm thinking bout going back to it now haha
so all you did was extract the camera.apk and put it in system, and change perms?
have you rebooted since, to make sure it still works?
That camera mod has a working ISO setting for the flex??

This part confuses me a little:
If you do not have a custom recovery on your device,
Extract the downloaded ZIP and copy the APK to phone.
Open Root Browser and go to system/app.
Find CameraApp.apk and CameraApp.odex and add a .bak extension to both of them.
Now copy the new CameraApp.apk to system/app folder. -
Here do we remove the .bak from the files we just copied over or leave it as is?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Press and hold CameraApp.apk and select Permissions from the list of options.
Now set the permission to rw-r–r– (0644). For more details, read this guide.
Then reboot the phone.
When your LG boots up, you would be able to use the modded camera app on your phone.
leave them as is, in case you need to restore them if the replacement files arent working properly for you
the new files will have the extensions .apk, and .odex when you copy them over

I didn't have any issue just didn't stick with my laptop. carriers and manufactories have gotten smart. especially due to the amount of people that are modding their phones these days. just changing the "tether dun" or "tether provisioning". Now we have to deal with upsell URLs. That's when on their end they notice URLs coming thru our data that are not the same format/ signature that mobile devices use. and therefore our WiFi data usage may still increase. well there's a way around that too. It doesn't stick through boot either. But it will mask said URLs and prevent " up sell". From your phones dailpad dial 3845#*???# put in the 3 numbers of your variant. like mine is a d959 so I dial 3845#*959# once in the hidden service menu click settings then scroll down to "upsell URL" click it and select the option "TMUS hastetheringOPTIIN". AND DONT FORGET THE OTHER HACK CHANGing the 1 to a zero on the tethering in sqlite editor .
