Not really sure what you are asking.

If you going out of your way to find apps that need root, your asking for trouble. Rooting is used(mostly) to gain access/more control over the file system and key areas of said file system.
The only apps I find that are useful that require root are: keep the lights on and Titanium BU
Try these apps:
-Voodoo Control
-Voltage Control
-ROM Manager
-SetCPU
That should be most of what you need. And please read up on those apps before you use them and brick your phone. Cheers.
Root explorer or other Root file explorer are great for fast mod/theming.

You won't be able to use Voodoo control unless you have a Voodoo enabled kernel, nor will you be able to use Voltage Control unless you have an OC/UV kernel (same with SetCPU)...

What is really cool about rooting your phone is the ability to customize it.
Go to the Developement section and read up on flashing ROMs onto your phone. Not only can you change the look, but the developers of those ROMs have made the phones snappier by tweaking them and have cleaned them up by removing bloatware. You'll see quite a performance increase.
You may become addicted to trying out many ROMs as they are fun to try out. READ UP ON IT FIRST, SO YOU DON'T MESS UP YOUR PHONE!

Check the voodoo control app. It is now compatible with some STOCK AND ROOTED devices. Including the captivate.

I just installed Cm 7 alpha 3 and I am trying to install the latest Skype but it fails when I just run the . apk and when I go into cwm I do not have the install. Apk?
Anyone know how I can install this..?
Sent from my Touchpad using xda premium
you dont install apks in cwm, you do it in android.
go to settings-> applications, and check the unknown sources box
then go to the file manager built into android, navigate to the apk, and then click on it. you will be prompted to install the app.
hit install and it will be installed.
Cheers, I will try that tomorrow.

"File Manager" is not built in to the version Sony Ericsson uses. Glad to see it on the TouchPad though. Let me ask: Is there a "notepad" or "notes" app that is supposed to be built in? SE didn't include one of those either.
If you're looking for an amazing file explorer replacement ES File Explorer is AMAZING! It looks great, has gesture support and even skins/themes.

I've actually used it before and I do agree: It's good. I was just curious about the "built in" statement because, to my knowledge, there is no standard one "built in" to Android and it can be a problem.
CM7 has one built it but a pure AOSP build like the SDK doesn't IIRC.

Download one from Play Store. ES should get you started.
I use file manager hd, from rhythm software, available free in the play store. Use the version for tablets, it works great.
Why are you using CM7?

Well what Rom have you Flashed? The more information you provide the easier it is to provide an answer, as the gapps will vary depending on your Rom.
Hey,
can someone please tell me why Im not able to download a lot of apps like:
Sound Hound
Google Chrome
Opera Mini
Maxthon Browser
..
Is it 4.0.4 (because on 4.0.3 before that I was able to download those) or cm9?
Thanks.
Please provide more information. What is the error the Market gives you? If there is no error, check to see if /datadata is full. There are workarounds available for that.
There is no error. I just dont see the apps in the market.
If I search for Opera I only find Opera Mobile not Mini.
If I search for Maxthon I only find Maxthon Browser Addons etc but not the browser itself etc.. :/
If I try to install via my Computer it says "Diese App ist nicht mit Ihrem Samsung GT-I9000-Gerät kompatibel." -> "App isn't compatible with your device"
/e Tried to clear cache and Dalvik Cache - didnt worked. Have to sleep now. Good night
Use the Market Enabler app.
Thanks but it doesnt seem to work..i change country to wjatever and... nothing changed

That seems to be a market error. You should be able to find Opera mobile by pressing on Opera mini and then on 'more apps by Opera' or something like this.
Where? Cant find a Button like that :s
And as i said it isnt even possible through my Computer:/ .. i guess its the ROM isnt it?

If you can't find it with your computer, why should it be a ROM issue?
I find them on my computer but cant download it (or send the dl to my sgs) cause of "not compatible" .. :/
Go to manage applications in settings and try to clear data and cache of Google Play Store.
Already tried that + I reinstalled the market :/
Had this problem as well.. search for the app in appbrain.. it will open up in play store
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
Cant find appbrain in the market and if i try to load it from appbrain.vom (Or whatever) it opens in the market and sais "this Version isnt compatible with ur device"
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
Version?
Out of curiosity: what version of the Play Market app do you have installed?
I flashed CM9 (factory reset/wipe cache/wipe dalvik) on my GT-I9000, started the rom, rebooted in recovery and flashed gapps-ics-20120317-signed.zip. Market is now at 3.5.15 and all the apps you mentioned show up.
Same as you .. 3.5.15
And i also did all the resets u did :/

Installed gapps zip again + Cache and dalvik Cache -> nothing changed

solution
the only option worked for me is to edit build.prop file in system folder u need to edit these values
ro.product.model=GT-I9000
ro.product.device=crespo
ro.build.fingerprint=google/mysid/crespo:4.0.4/IMM30B/257829:user/release-keys
use crespo where written if something else written there as in my case it was "toro" .. try and let me know
u can try root explorer and edit directly and reboot
Oh thanks at first. That could be the problem cause my values are:
ro.build.fingerprint: samsung/GT-I9000/GT-I9000:2.3.5/GINGERBREAD/XXJVT:user/release-keys
ro.product.device=GT-I9000
ro.product.model=GT-I9000
I dont know what to write there now? :> Probably not the same as you?
hmmm well i am using
[ROM] [6.4.2012] NEW ICS 4.0.4 EXTRAordinary_4.0.4_beta9
and i found it the best so far, u can try it too and try to do it with the modified build.prob attached , as i see people also having problems in market with the rom and i figured it out and it worked. can u please post this solution in that thread too
Oh my ... it works! Yeah
Thanks so much, all of you!
What I did (dont know if the restart is necessary):
-Copied the build.prop via Rom Toolbox inside system folder
-restart phone
-delete cache and files of Google Play
I have got Samsung galaxy mini GT-S5570I yesterday.Its a great,cheap phone,but i have some question. The color are terrible. If i want to play some games i cant,because its havent much color, even the angry birds have more color than the phone. Its the probem of all this phone or only of mine? If of all can i somehow fix it? How? And my second question is: Can i root this phone the same method like the normal GT-S5570? Or i need some custom method.
Thanks
Hi ,
Currently not. custom roms does not yet exist, and ODIN to reinstall the firmware in case of trouble... It's better you wait a bit to be able to use more of your S5570i...
I think I already have root for your model.
you can try to find it , be careful..
And on the screen, you can try lowering the screen brightness settings, the screen of our mini are really bad for me ..
Edit:
Root is there

Y do u want to put a user app in system folder? ??
Even though u did, u dint set permissions so it wont work...
To install any apk, put that in sd card and just run it.
But if you read my post you can see, that i cant install the app! Its says:app cannot be instal.
Im thinking buying this device. I also happen to know that the Xiaomi Mi3 forum commnunity are not organized but thats just me.
In MIUI, theres all this Security app. Antivirus app and so many apps MIUI built in to the ROM. Can it be removed? Im planning to not upgrade it to CM or AOSP but keeping MIUI except that I'd replace certain stuff with CM stuff. I think its more stable that way.

If ur on the Developer firmware and have root access, try using a root explorer (I used ES File Explorer to replace the stock Calculator with CM one...)

So, I must be in Dev Firmware to remove the bloats? Can I be in Stock ROM and remove the Mi Cloud or whataver Theme manager stuff?

U can be on stock & remove the bloatware but u need to be rooted. Try root uninstaller apps from playstore to do so

Well, as he said, you have to be rooted. So why not flash the Dev ROM (with MIUI 6!!) to get root access?? If you DONT like MIUI 6 though (still in active development hence missing loads of features) you'll have to root your stock ROM. You'll find guides in MIUI English forum. Do a Google Search. :good:
