Is the question that my friend Jeff asked me. I have a few responses lined up, but I want to hear your guy's opinions. Then I can send him the link to this forum and have him read it.
Do you guys care to elaborate your answers?

1) Remove useless bloatware
2) Speed up/optimize the phone
3) Create full system images for restoration if necessary
4) Titanium Backup
5) Flash Custom Roms
6) Install Custom Kernels
7) Customize your phone to no end
8) ????
9) Profit

Tell him he'll get more chicks with a rooted phone. Chicks dig rooted phones.

lovin that gun, not gona get on ur bad side LOL
so many benefits, for those who don't know, have root access is like having Administrative access on your computer so it allows you to do certain things that you wouldn't be able to out of the box. here's a video to check out
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LaNara54r8
it's always good to go to the forum of your phone and see for your self, check out all the sections, see how's out there.
i personally have never used a phone all stock, there's always so many good things to do that improve the experience of the phone, however it's not all roses and butterflies, there are risks, probably not with rooting so much but when flashing roms or radios or things like that. so if this is something your friend wants to get into, he/she should take the time and get know everything.
good luck

It makes your phone suck water from the ground and its hard to pull the roots out once in?

True enough but he doesn't know what Titanium Backup is nor what Flashing roms is all about.... He's a virgin at this so the answer would have to be more in depth.
Customize your phone to no end sounds about right Plus longer battery life. So less charging!

GTR already has turbo and intercooler stock. Perhaps you meant GTR with massive custom twins, 3-row custom front mount, 4" downpipe, and a wee bit of NOS for those days you're feeling frisky.

Another benefit is getting the latest versions of Android before your manufacturer or carrier releases them, or of course even if the latest version never will be released for your device. You can even run ICS on a G1

Tbh, the Skyeocket is pretty great without root. The reason I did it was to get the leaked ics and remove the bloatware. Those are my main reasons.

No! You don't understand! Do not let your friend's phone be rooted! He will regret it... His soul will be sold to XDA... Please....

Why would you root someone else's phone if you can't even explain TO THEM WHY THEY SHOULD DO IT??
And given the issues you had in Amaze forum not knowing what hboot you needed for super CID, I recommend you do allot more research before becoming responsible for possibly damaging someone else's device.

I would have to agree with him. If it only applies to your ROM, than it would be best to put it in the same thread as your ROM. If it is for other ROMs as well as samtran suggests, than a separate thread is fine. My opinions
But I would like to know which ROMs it does work with. Does it work with pure rooted stock?

I'm pretty sure it said (before I added the stock version) that it was for my ROM.
There's no pleasing some people on this site is there? We sit behind our desks for hours figuring out how to do the things people ask us to do, way more than we normally would just for ourselves. And yet, somebody always has to complain about something. You posted it in the wrong place, your post doesn't say the right thing, your mod isn't exactly what I wanted, can you do it over?
Then people complain when we get angry, or just stop doing things.

Many of us do appreciate your (and ALL the devs) time and efforts.
As a dev myself (.NET sorry!), as much as I would love to learn to muck around with Android, I just don't have the time or energy to get into it.
But I do know all the pain and frustration involved in debugging and getting out a clean build!
There does seem to be a lot of etiquette policing on this site...I guess a lot of people...especially non-devs...don't realize all the time and work that goes into all these mods and roms.

When you say multiple versions could that include T2 10.1? Im looking for what your offering but theres not much being offered for the 10.1. I'm running stock rooted at present on my 10.1. these early stages of development are crucial to all models so I'm checking all models to see whats going on with the new GT2's,
you have a good start with the 7" and thats great, I want to encourage you to keep up the good work.
Thanks, Pp.
PS. If you don't see MODERATOR in title, just ignore them, if you engage them with replies then it keeps them going on with lots of BLAH BLAH BLAH, in the end it deosn't help anyone.
For anyone interested in a challenge... the screenshot button is still there, it's just been shrunk down to a 1 pixel by 1 pixel transparent button/image right up by the recents button...

does not work on same firmware
( gt-p3100 IML74K.P3100XXALD4 )
system ui crash
'Stock' version working on rooted stock ROM and Kernel, 4.0.3 / 3.0.8, IML74K.P3113UEALD3.
Also to help anyone new to this, the MOD file is installed by flashing it using CWM or similar, just as with other types of update zips.
Thanks!
No need to try this mod. Update your from to lf2 v.4.0.4 for p3100. In that you get a option to remove the screen capture option from the home screen.

phone randomly died....no life after running a simple app

OK so last night I was running aokp and flashed fauxs new test kernel everything was running great I oced the phone to 1.8 and fired up CPU master free made sure everything was good then went into antutu then out of nowhere there was a quick flash and my phone was lifeless. Now this freaked me out because I have never seen nothing like this phone usually just will reboot if oced to high or whatever ....and I have been doing this phone thing for awhile so battery was charged also ....now phone would not turn back on and the only life I could get out of it was a red blinking light when connecting charger or comp. And I managed to get into download mode but this download mode I have never seen before....maybe lg version? Idk . the red light reminded me of xboxs red eye of death. I had nothing but a red blinking light would not power on with any key combo at all. I even let it sit on charger and nothing . I just wanted to make u guys aware of this maybe it was a weird hardware failure but it sucks to know that this could possibly happen. Here are a few pics I grabbed
Red light

can you get to fastboot? Hold both volumes and power on. If so, flash stock rom again
Another way to try to get to fastboot is to plug in and then hold both volumes
Odin is a Samsung application.

Why the f you need to OC it to 1.8? Nonsense to me. If the phone bricks, you deserve a new paperweight.
So you overclocked the CPU with a test Kernel and now you are wondering why you maybe fried it?
Btw. for what exactly do you need those 1.8Ghz x 4 on a phone that is more than fast for everything?

The title of your post is somewhat misleading.
The death of your phone was not "random", nor was it caused by "running a simple app".

Thank u for trying to help man
Devs aren't omniscient. Presumably he'll pull it if it's causing bricks. Sucks to be the first one to try it..
It is so remarkably stupid first of all to be messing with overclocking a phone less than a month after you bought it, but fine, I understand people wanting to tinker. It is so remarkably stupid second of all to be overclocking a phone less than a month old that ALREADY HAS THERMAL THROTTLING ISSUES. Seriously, so ridiculously stupid. And no, your title is nonsense. Its not the "simple app" that bricked your phone, its that you are running an experimental kernel for some stupid reason and chose to overclock to some stupid high frequency for some stupid reason and then OF COURSE tried to run a benchmark that ALREADY causes the CPU to thermally throttle on stock, for some stupid reason.
Please no one emulate this stupid behavior.

exactly! I knew the chance I was taking and obviously something bad happened not a big deal I just wanted to make other people aware I have been doing this for a long time and to see this was freaky
I don't think he's jealous, he's probably upset that people will still overclock and do VERY unsafe modifications to a beast of a phone that just came out. Even developers haven't fully grasped the Nexus 4. Quad core clocked at 1.5 GHz is more than enough, I'm a PC Builder and I can tell you the extra 300 MHz is hardly noticeable. Now a 600 MHz to a 1 GHz increase would be noticeable. However, you would fry that processor like bacon. GOOD LUCK, I really hope you do get it working again, I love my Nexus 4 so I can imagine how you feel dude.

your absolutely right and I am NOT going to argue that but this is why we are at XDA right? So for this to happen is kind of freaky but I did not know what happened see I have done this with many other phones you know it doesn't matter if it first came out 3 weeks ago or whatever if you shouldn't have happened who knows what caused it maybe it wasn't the kernel maybe it was something totally different maybe it was a combo of the things

Top 10 Over-Asked/Over-Answered Questions

This is a thread to vent a little so here goes. OK this will not be a news flash to most users here but something that is becoming a HUGE pet peeve of mine. I guess this is happening more lately because many of our regulars have left for other phones and what we have left are noobs. But what is the deal with the same old questions being asked over and over and over and over and over again (and same people answering them over and over)?! How hard is it to use the search box around here?
Let's see if we've heard these before:
1. What are the best tweaks for this phone?
2. What are the best ROMs for this phone?
3. How do I install this ROM/kernel? Gee IDK, maybe read the OP!
4. How do I get better battery life?
5. Where is that 3.0 kernel?
6. (Statement) "My benchmark is..." and then (never fails) "how do you get that score?" Ask, rinse and repeat 10 times.
7. When is there going to be an update?
8. What should I OC to?
9. When will the camera be working with this ROM/kernel?!
10. Statement: "This ROM/kernel is so fast and smooth"...Next day, next week or next month the same person says this about some other ROM. I'll plead guilty to some extent due to the fact I've switched a million times after stating how great this, that and the other is. Nonetheless still annoying to read these kinds of statements being repeated until the next flavor of the month shows up.
I know it's getting to the point there are things running out of to talk about this phone anymore, and again I don't claim to be squeaky clean. Not that anyone has ever listened to this advice from others, but I'll say it anyway. Will some of you PLEASE do some research on your questions before you ask them? I want to emphasize the is not a knock & bash on certain users, just stating what could help keep this place (I mean the SGE4G forum) from dying a faster death & running off devs sooner than later. I still enjoy the forum around here. Just my two cents so disagree if you care to. Keep in mind the guilty parties are always the most defensive!

Exactly. It's not a FAQ/then answer type list, just a list of redundant questions. Besides even if I did answer 'em, others will come along different answers and then the questions will get asked again elsewhere anyway. As you stated, subjective anyway. There are no right or wrong answers half the time.
BTW I'm not saying it's always wrong to ask some of those things, especially if it's something brand new. Problem really is the same questions in the same thread get asked all the time when a simple query in the search box would take care of it.

LOL, thanks for updating this thread although when you mention Xquizit we are going back in time a bit!
Yeah, I just did a full wipe on my old Exhibit, then installed TWRP 2.5.0.0 non-themed version, then installed a Holo theme, then installed AOIP and my AdBlock Hosts file. Pretty much getting it set up to give to one of my younger siblings to use as a wifi device.
But I had some good ol' days with XquiziT when I first got it a year ago! (Wow, it really has been 1 year! Just look at my join date!)

Me too. BTW Xquizit was the very first custom ROM I tried. It's a wonder I tried any more after as it was a cluster. Probably because I was so green and had much to learn. Still learning now too.

Hey all

I hope I'm in the right place for this.. I just wanted to say hello I'm Alex aka. Mysticfrog.. I've been a serious fanboy of Samsung phones until late last one being a note 3.. Great phone but just really got tired of the whole gimmick it was turning out to be. So I decided to check out the nexus 5... Big time different from the Samsung series of phones but I Love it!! It's fast sleek and just all around incredible.. This is the total Android experience I have been waiting for.. anyhow I just wanted to introduce myself so hi all... I've read a lot of threads here and y'all seem like a bunch of cool guys and girls I'm just glad I made the step.. The development here is amazing so I'm looking forward to hanging and having fun

Embrace the sense of freedom, it feels amazing when you're coming from a HTC or Sammy device... so, SO many roms and kernels to chose from and they all mostly work together, unlike for example HTC One X where half the kernels dont work with the other half of the roms and you gotta repack and flash the kernel through fastboot... what a chore just to switch kernel. And S-off... ffff... Anyways welcome to the world of Nexus and hope all your flashing experiences go smoothly! :good::good::good:
and LOOOOL at the S5 comparison with the bandaid ahahahah! good one

I use Instant Heart Rate Pro from Play, very accurate and you can store measurements on a server.

yeah you hit the nail right on the head a phone full of junk!!! that and knox I really dont understand why sammy added that..
All i actually did was roll into tmobile to pay my bill and while i was waiting I saw this device just chilling there looking like a chocolate bar so as i started messing with it I realized that some of the roms i flashed on my note 3that i really liked originated from this devise.. So i sat down looked it up, checked out some reviews played with it some more and realized this is the true android experience i crave.. well actually i pulled up the xda site to see how much "love" this device was getting and that kinda sold me.. the development is huge here... Im running droidkang right now which im loving..
one question tho is there any way when i flash a rom how do i keep my music from being deleted?? What i do is basically just redownload it from my laptop, is there an easier way?? Im just used to having that internal mem card... thanks for the warm welcome all..
WELCOME

I read that Samsung is planning on making the wearable electronics compatible with all Android devices soon.
Just ordered the Nexus from Tmobile.com
Had the s3 for 2 years, was considering the Note 3 and S5 (i have a love/hate relationship with the S5)
But like somebody earlier said I crave for stock android plus it helps that my mother has a nexus 5 and 7(2013).

Ultimate Off-Topic Thread

Well, @aSuperSaiyanG0D and I decided it'd be a good idea to bring an OT thread to the forums
So I'll keep things short and simple to start with. This thread is not for discussing issues with phones or anything, it's for the the exact opposite.
What are everyone's thoughts on the iPhone 6?
When do you think Android L will release?
Anybody pick up Destiny since it released?
All I have to say bout iPhone 6....

I literally just showed that to my sister and she said, "I don't care how great an Android is, I'll always want an iPhone."
It's a social symbol these days. And I guess in our society our value is what others perceive of us. So yeah, people are going to keep buying those things. Breaks my heart.
Although I will say, the slow motion video could be kind of cool. Not that I'd see myself using it.
The only thing bout iOS that I'll admit is kinda nice, is when you jailbreak, and something screws up, it's very very hard to brick it. Just use iTunes and you can just restore it.
But then again, that would be to easy huh? Cx
Haha, I can't count how many times I've restored my phones via KDZ flashes... Nearing a hundred I assume lol.
Wow look apple made the iPhone 6 bigger and faster never saw that coming. Not really ground breaking stuff
I think that ios8 is a nice update for the ifags.
Has is some cool stuff, all things android has had for awhile.
But I still wouldn't buy a iPhone. In my opinion iPhone are the Nokia of the 90s, generic as [email protected]#k.
Really looking forward to see what android brings with its android L release.
The Sony xperia z2 has slow motion camera too

You hit the nail on the head. It's a status thing. Most people spend way too much time worrying about what others think of them. This distorts their own perception of themselves. I figured out early in life, as a teenager, that it really doesn't matter to me what others think of me. I am who I am the way I am.
On another note... CM11 currently building and I am waaayyy past where I was getting errors earlier. No longer using CAF kernel. Switched to LGs kernel base instead, for the time being anyways. Having to do a fresh build so it won't finish til @ 0400 EST.
Since we are of topic friends of mine are doing a media project
It's low grade comedy but it's funny

Exactly how I feel, too! I'd rather gauge out my eyeballs and pull out my fingernails than "fit in". All that leads to is either hating or being hated. Life's way too short to worry about what the popular girl or guy at school is wearing or using.
I'm pretty much of a misfit anyway so there's no way I'll be able to fit in even if I tried. Hahaha.

Before owning this phone I just wrote off LG as a Samsung copy cat. Considering how similar the UI and features they share. After owning this phone I have come to the conclusion that LG UI(whatever they call their UI) is touchwiz done right. Much like how I feel about MIUI iOS done right as well...still can't wait until more AOSP roms are present. Hoping this unreal price attracts devs to tinker with it

I agree and am grateful for all the work you and other devs do. Any plans on doing a ROM based off of LG stock ROM like HTC and Samsung has? Not a request nor trying to sound pushy just curious
