This is the first time I have ever been near or used an Android phone. I got my i9000 a few days ago and have started messing about with widgets etc. I have been reading this forum for a few months prior to owning an Android phone as technology interests me. I was following a home screen thread and realized I had to root my Galaxy S to be able to take screenshots. Then I found the One Click Lag Fix app that was on the Android market. The lag was something that was really bothering me and now its running really smooth.
So now I have root what else should I do to my phone?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
A couple apps I use that need root access: mybackup pro and root explorer.
Have fun
I'll be sure to check them out. Anyone else?

This is what I thought too. Apart from backing up to the average user, there doesn't seem to be a lot to do!

Flash roms, overclock cpu, clear app caches. Modify system apps (eg make browser fullscreen).
Anything really.
Clocksync - if cell-network time sync sucks.
MarketAccess - if you can't purchase apps on market
Autokiller or Minfree manager - to keep memory tidy (less necessary on the most recent firmwares)
Screenshot - should be obvious.

Im sticking to stock for now, see no reason to switch. I mostly mix/mash stuff from other roms if i like. But yea i just got my vibrant few days back so i don't know wht roms are available/good. There was this thread however, look for "best firmware" i believe it was called.
Okay thanks for the tips everyone

my guess, IF (wild wild if ) its true.. hes got some insider who slipped it over when it was "pre-beta"
I saw that the lights of the touch buttons at the buttom are becoming off while the screen is still on. So I assume that it is not gingerbread, since as far as i know that is stock on gb roms.

How? /10char
Clever but just pictures in gallery me thinks. Used to full screen a browser on Google search page with an interesting search term in the box then do "print screen" paste into Paint and save/set as desktop picture. Hours of fun watching them try to close the browser ROFL.

The application button launch the app drawer though so it's not an image. I'm sceptical though.

I noticed this yesterday but didn't give it much thought. I wonder if it's a compatibility issue with Jelly Bean or something.
Just click on the persons thumbnail and then you can swipe through their pictures

Yeah its really limited. You can't even view the about page either. The thumbnail is only for profile pictures I think.

Wut. This makes no sense. I'm assuming that you're asking where the app is. It isn't included on the device, you need to download it from the Market.
Just use FB through the browser... that's what I do on my 5" Player, I assume it will be even better once I get my N7.
Hi helpful people of XDA.
I've received my One and I'd very much like to keep it in my possession. Just wondering if there's a find my iPhone style app available for it? Or if its in settings somewhere?
Edit - Also while I'm here, the phone doesn't seem to distinguish between H and H+ it's annoying, is there any chance of being able to see the difference?
Thanks.

Plan B is awesome. You can install that one after you lost it via play.google.com
Otherwise you can use prey or any other app .. there are tons
Theres also Wheres my Droid
But as said, most of these "finding" apps you can install online through your google account and then track down your phone
So many apps I wasn't aware of!
Thanks chaps.

Hello.
I know that kitkat implemented something about only letting the certain app to gain access to the folder it's using or something like that. So applications like vaulty doesn't work anymore. Dunno why they even made it like that. It worked perfect on JB. Why change something wich is working.
But, are there any apps or ways of hiding pics/video and whatever nowadays on Kitkat firmware?

Why would you want to hide them?
But root is the option I think...

They may not be the kind of pictures he wants to be seen in polite company.....
However, try this

Well, not a super problem but sometimes i let the kids play some with the phone and they dont need to see everything in there, and their mom agrees with that
Vaulty was really great and easy to use.

This is the thread he is talking about

However, the app I linked to will work on KK (AFAIK)
I use AppLock and it's perfect.

If you are rooted you can use Foldermount to fix the sd card limitations in kitkat! And hide it pro(audiomanager) works fine for me! You can also try an multiple user account app!

Does it still work in kitkat to put a file called .nomedia in a folder to keep it from being shown in album and other such apps?

If you put a . before the foldername just like you said .nomedia will hide it from the album yes. Thats what ive used now. But im testing different apps. Applock seems good. Gonna try that foldermount aswell.

Hide It Pro have just a big issue to me, it move the pictures to his folder and is mess up with my stuff, I will prefer the pictures remain where they are.
AppsLock is very good but it missing the option to select single files, it just work for Apps, still good BTW.
