Skype Video Chat "Fix":
Currently until Skype updates its app to support the Bionic you can install the hacked version. In Settings Enable Video Calling and then in the Advanced Settings Check "Use valid preview surface" and I checked Autostart on boot (optional).

Q&A
Question: "I can't see/find/locate files on my SD Card"
Answer: When browsing through the files on your phone, your actual SD Card is a folder named "SDCard-Ext". The folder named SD Card is the "built in" storage on the Bionic. So when looking for say your nandroid backup it will be located in /sdcard-ext/clockworkmod/backup/
NONE OF THE ABOVE IS MY WORK JUST TRYING TO PROVIDE A SINGLE LOCATION WITH LINKS FOR NEW BIONICS TRYING TO FIND THEIR WAY. OF COURSE EVERYTHING YOU DO IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Awesome thanks. We should get this stickied on here or the dev section.

Needs to move over to Dev section. But i think it will help a lot of people since you did a fantastic job at organizing it!
Just trying to give a little something back. I made a copy of it in the dev section, updated it for the Bootstrap, and created a quick and dirty bootstrap guide. Glad you like!
Good info here! Thanks for your time putting it together!
No problem.

For those of us who took the leap and updated to the leaked ICS.
And have safestrap 2.0 running it's time for the de-bloat process.
I'm going to post my list of confirmed apks to remove later.
reserved.
Is there any real advantage to removing bloat APKs rather than disabling them via the application settings panel?
I don't have ICS on my Droid 4 yet (waiting for guaranteed root).
If you are rooted before install of ICs you can keep root.
I'm working on an advanced set of modifications for x86 Android, and could use a couple of files to test with on the RAZR i. Can't share it just yet, but if you have a RAZR i updated with Jelly Bean, PM me and I'll loop you in. Thanks!

share it, there is not much need for discretion
I am searching for a way to use truecrypt on my Milestone (Droid). There are some efforts making it available by using the app Cryptonite
But you need to have a kernel which supports FUSE.
I currently run 2nd-boot-kernel and CM7.2.4f.
But it seems that it has no fuse-support. At least
Code:
cat /proc/filesystems/
ls /system/lib/modules/
does not list FUSE.
I can not post to the dev-forum, so i could ask there. Hopefully someone here can help me.
If I could build my own kernel, i would do it. At the moment I only have Windows 7 and Android SDK installed.
And I don't know the steps and which things are important.
greetings

ioroot was originally a Windows script to root the LG G2 on 4.2.2 [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448887"]made by IOMonster[/URL].
It was based on the original adb backdoor found by GiantPune and later [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2169117"]posted by jcase[/URL].
The script has grown to run on Windows, Linux and OSX and support various other LG devices on Android 4.0 - 4.4.2...
Supported devices include LG Optimus G, G2, G3, G Pro, G Pro 2, G Flex, G Pad, L70, L80, L90, G2 mini and more.

When people have issues in the future.. the following info is what i need(on top of what is already provided in the quote above).
which script? windows linux or mac?
any errors along the way?
which IOroot version?
if you try: adb shell
you don't see a #?
any other specifics you can give me may help as well.
I used a mac. I tried manually it never grabs # also in the zip there are no files for the flex. Everything is g2 branded.

ah ha! figures I'd derp something. I left the F340-series file out of the zip by mistake. I've uploaded a new v20 zip with the proper file.
delete current zip.. redownload.. and hopefully you're good. :good:
Lol okay thanks

Hi, maybe a silly question, but if I root my F430L, would I be able to receive OTA updates normally? I'm not interested to flash any other ROM, just some mods.
Thanks in advance, great explained guide!

most official OTA updates from a carrier patch the current files found in /system rather than replacing all of them entirely(at least in many cases)... because of this.. the OTA update will check each and every stock system file to make sure it has been unmodified. If you modify any of the stock files this would cause the OTA to most likely fail.
What you could do is make backups of the files you do choose to update.. then you can restore the backups when it's time to OTA update. Also, you can add modded files that are not part of /system and this will not mess with the OTA. The OTA only cares about the original system files... not new files you have added(that have not altered the original system files themselves).
tl;dr
you can root and still accept OTA updates as long as no original /system files have been altered and you still have stock recovery(you didnt install twrp/cwm). :good:

I am helping a friend out by rooting his Vzw g2. I am very familiar with unlocking/rooting phones and have messed with many models before. This root method seems pretty straight forward.
The question I have: is there anything else I am going to have to do before rooting via this method? I am familiar with unlocking bootloaders first and I read that this one is still locked.
Here is a pic of the software info its running.
I greatly appreciate all the help!
