Ok...I rooted my captivate thinking that i could install apps that are blocked on my phone, like Sirius XM, WiFI tethering.....even after rooting the programs are still being blocked and i cant install them...
am i missing something? im new to android and had an iphone that i jailbroke.....im confused on what rooting actually does i guess
this should be in the Q&A section but read the forum.
your best bet would be to flash Cognition or Tayutama's rom. Both have tethering and as far as the other apps go, I'm not sure. they may be available if all the ATT stuff is off the phone
Thread moved to Q&A.

Rooting does not enable market access, it just gives you super user abilities so that you can enable something like sideloading or wifi tethering. As stated you should just consider flashing one of the available roms that enable this stuff for you

You can put your phone in Airplane mode, turn on WIFI and get apps that were being blocked in the Market. I did it with PDAnet.

In the Captivate General subforum, there is a thread called "One Click De-Cripple released for Captivate to enable install of Non-Market Apps"
Please go to that thread, read the first post, and do as it tells you. You'll be installing those blocked apps in no time. Good luck!
Has anyone had a problem with the intial setup for Good for Enterprise on custom Android ROMs? I installed it (using an issued PIN) on stock eclair on my Captivate and it worked fine. I then rooted, backed it up via TIBU and restored on Froyo and it still worked fine. The same process worked recently on Gingerbread. However, I have tried multiple custom Froyo ROMs and 1 GB recently and if I try the initial setup (with a new PIN) on anything other than stock eclair (even rooted), it will stop at "retrieving policies" and never complete. I then have to ask for a new PIN from my IT support and revert to eclair and finish the setup, backup, and restore on the later custom ROMs. Has anyone seen this and have any idea why? My IT support has no idea. I am not in a policy checking for root access and it does continue to work with root.
EDIT: I wonder if it is that the device name used in build properties is referenced during that step and it fails due to an unknown device...
Also, I have found that after I have it working after a certain PIN used, if I ever restore to an ealier point (due to a theme gone wrong, etc) then it stops syncing even if the restore point is AFTER I had it working with that PIN. It seems like the local software either is exchanging a dynamic password with the server or there is a message index, etc that has to be in sync. Any thoughts?
When in the Good setup screen, go to Menu>Device Info. Does the Phone number appear? I've been using CM7 just fine with Good but after the last few nightlies, Good no longer works. The phone number doesn't appear in the device info. Good thinks there is no phone network present.
I am a heavy Good user, unfortunately also addicted to changing ROMs on a frequent basis. I have never had an issue with Good running on any ROM, just on restoring from TiBu. I can flash new kernels, themes, etc, and Good works just fine. If I re-flash the same ROM, it resides and works just fine. It is only when flashing a new ROM I have problems. Good appears to restore OK, but won't pull new emails to the inbox. I ave to get a new PIN and re-install.
Same here.. i am addicted to flashing as well.
I tried Titanium backup to backup and restore to new ROM, but somehow Good just keep crashing after i put in my password.
I am sure I can ask for new pin, reinstall and what not.. but how often can we ask IT people (for my company at least) for new pins, until one day they may say, bugger off you ROM addict!
Finally figured it out, I think. The trick is to NOT have Good running in persistent mode when you do the backup with TiBu. IOW, reboot and backup with TiBu before you start Good and log in. I did that the last couple of new ROMs and it restored and worked just fine.

I am also getting the Phone network is off. This is a tablet and does not have any phone piece or sim card installed. No hardware is even inside the tablet. Has anyone ran accross this issue on tablets?
This works for me.

Good with custom roms
Just to share a recent experience on that topic:
I wanted to have a custom rom but need GFE for my work which of course has a policy of no root with GFE.
So after a little research and useful info from this forum I figured a very simple way to do it, as long as you don't consider root as critical for your day-to-day stuff
1. Install your custom rom which most likely requires rooting
2. Install SuperSU from the Play Store and use it to remove root completely
3. Install and activate GFE
That's it!
Hoope this helps someone else how got a little scared to have to go through scripts and stuff to do this

Does this still work?
I too need GFE on my Galaxy S4 but am sick of the poor battery life. I tried SlimKat and Google Play Edition roms, and removed root using Super SU in both cases. But GFE gives a message "Not supported for this type of Handheld". . Not sure if GFE is looking for a TW based ROM.
I will give it another go using Carbon ROM. Still, any other advice / experience on getting GFE working on a custom ROM would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

You quoted a 1 year old post, might be hard to get a reply. Also this is for the S1, while the app (GFE) might be the same, the ROMs definitely aren't.
That being said, chances are that the app was updated to prevent that workaround. You could flash a TW based ROM and test it though.
Thanks for the reply. I will try posting a fresh question in the Q&A thread in case anyone has more recent experience with GFE. Cheers.

There is an xposed module for this.
Hi, are you referring to Wanam Xposed which has a "fake official system status" functionality?
As I understand, Xposed needs root, but Good for enterprise doesn't work on a rooted handset. Can Xposed work without root?
Also Wanam Xposed is meant to work with TW based ROMs whereas I don't want to go back to TW based ROM unless it is extremely light.

I'm a bit confused here, Custom ROMs are pre-rooted. Therefor, if you're not on TW, you're rooted.
And yes, Xposed does require root. As for Wanam, I duno if it works on AOSP but best way to know is you try
Thanks for replying.
Supersu has a Full Unroot functionality which removes root.
Yes I will try, but every failed attempt sends an email to office admin so I have to be prudent.
http://www.gogadgetx.com/xposed-framework-install-use-best-modules-list/
The link above mentions that root is required while installing XPosed, but later it can perform without root. Is this correct or not?

I have never personally tried it without root but you can test that fairly easily. I expect it would depend on the module you're using, some require more permissions than others.
I tried it out but it didn't work.
I have to go back to stock ROM
OK, so I've been trying to fix this for a while now wondering if it's something that I've done wrong but with no success.
Here's my problem.
I rooted my S3 mini (GT-I8190N) running on 4.1.2 using this guide. Everything worked great, had no problem using it to root the phone at all.
After I removed all the 3rd party pre-installed crap -facebook- and finished setting up the phone the way I like it, I noticed that the hotspot was no longer working!
So I tried using hotspot apps, re-rooting, resetting and even leaving it off for a while just to see if anything would happen. It did not.
After looking around a few people have had this issue but I've not been able to find a working fix for mine. Could anyone point me in the direction of one please or advise me on how to fix this as I use it a lot.
Thanks.
Nevermind. Fixed it, found a working recovery file and used ODIN to patch it.
Wait, no still not working. :/
Alright, so I posted a thread a while back regarding how MagicJack crashes on my HTC One (M7). I simply open the app, it remains on a black screen for about 5 seconds then it crashes.
I am on ARHD 61.1.
I have tried all of these solutions:
-reinstall the app from Playstore
-reinstall the app from another source
-reinstall the app from both of the above with autosync off
-installed an earlier version of the app
-flashed the following roms: ARHD, Viper, Maximus (same issue on all roms)
-did a full wipe of my phone from TWRP
-reflashed ARHD again, and this is where I am at now
So I even took the extreme routes and it still didn't help. It simply just doesn't work with my phone.
Can anyone help me out with fixing this problem?
I have link of the logcat of when I try to open up MagicJack... http://pastebin.com/Gb90s8AH
Sorry for double posting.... this is the last time. If no one has any ideas this time then I'll give it up.
So I had a problem like this earlier, the issue was that everytime I installed a new rom, one of the first things I did was install Android Tuner and let that app install a lot of tweaks to speed up the system, and some of the tweaks in the build.prop caused a certain app to keep crashing because it kept running out of memory. Have you installed any tweaks after flashing any of the roms?

Well first I was on ARHD 52. MagicJack didn't work, so I figured it was an issue with ARHD.
When ARHD 53 came out a couple of days ago, it STILL didn't work. At that point I figured something must have been wrong.
(I do install the ElementalX kernel (specifically for double tap to wake, I keep everything else at stock.)
But this time, I completely wiped my phone. I installed a fresh ARHD 61.1, and I tried out MagicJack BEFORE I installed ElementalX again. Turned out, MagicJack still didn't work.
So other than ElementalX, I do not install any tweaks.
Well that's odd,sometimes a clean install of a rom is still not enough to make a certain problem go away. I had issues with a specific base, when I install 4.19.401.8 base, I can't sign in to Google, but when I install a newer or older base, the problem is gone. Now if I were to install the same base over and over again the problem would resurface in a different base. So I decided to use the stock AT&T RUU and start over. The RUUs usually restore nearly everything. So I think you should give that a try. And if you can try to run an RUU exe, not a zip.

Problem with that is... I have a Latin American International HTC One with a CID which is not supported by any RUU.
So I SuperCID'd to 11111111, and none of the RUUs seem to work.
(so I'm probably not selecting the correct RUU)
But tell you what. I'm going to do another wipe. I'm going to start again from the beginning with a new TWRP, new rom, and new everything.
If at this point MagicJack is STILL not working, then I'm literally out of ideas and I'll try RUUing.
Okay so I formatted and wiped my entire again, and I flashed a new TWRP, and I had no OS installed (nearly bricking my device). I installed a clean ARHD 61.1, and everything was from the beginning. I didn't sync any account, I didn't add the Google account either.
All I did was download Root Explorer, and installed a MagicJack.apk I downloaded from another source. It STILL didn't work. wtf
At this point, I'm going to assume that MagicJack needs to update their app and that it's not my phones fault.
It's just weird because for other people it works on ARHD 61.1.
The RUU might not work if your device is unlocked, you'll have to re-lock the bootloader to use an RUU.exe. But guess what, I decided to find the app and install it myself to see what's going on and I have the same issue. I'm running 4.19.401.11 base, the rom is my own and I have Elemental X kernel, so I think it's just the developers messing up here.

Ohh, so you're getting a black screen and just having the app crash too? Then yeah... the developers messed up.
Guess all that wiping went nowhere... at least I have a fresh start though. (didn't mean it to sound disgusting)

Yeah I'm sure they'll get it fixed.
I awaiting a fix for this problem as well. It sucks that magicjack doesnt seem to be working on sense roms. I have this same problem when I was using 4.3 as well but only on sense roms.
Same problem here on ARHD 53. I open Magic Jack, get the black screen for 10-20 seconds, then it exits. I wouldn't call it crashing because I don't get any error displayed.
I tried clearing data plus uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times and it always gives this result.
Is there anyone who has been able to get Magic Jack to work with the M7?
magicJack has been finally fixed, but only on the newest InsertCoin roms. I really wish Android Revolution HD would fix the problem as well since I prefer it over the former...

I'm sorry for the huge bump.
But, Android Revolution HD 81 has fixed the magicJack issue!! (for me at least) I simply flashed the zip, and installed with Sense 6 Toolbox. So I can finally remotely use my magicJack app.

Thank you! I will try ARHD 82 (current version)
In the latest version of Viper ROM (6.2.1) my system updates tab (in settings) force closes upon opening. I've done some research on the Viper One ROM thread and apparently this is a known issue.
My question is, can I update my PRL or profile some other way? I heard it's possible to use Sprint zone, but I don't have it installed, and none of the apks I've found have worked (parsing error).
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
bump! please help me out!
Just in case someone else needs it: found this on the Viper One thread, got it installed just fine. Profile update was a success! It showed that my PRL was current, too.

Thanks for posting the apk. I am using a Sprint HTC One, on a GSM network. It has never been connected to Sprint. I am looking to enable the roaming options in the Mobile Data menu option.
One question, were you able to uninstall the app without any issues? I mean did it install any other bloatware or and FC when uninstalled?
Cheers

Try changing sku_id to 42 in default.xml. The line is near the end. That might enable data roaming for you.
It probably doesn't install any bloatware, but it might FC if uninstalled for your 2nd question. So it's best not to touch it
Thanks will try changing sku_id.

Report back if it works please!
I figured this might be somewhat related instead of starting a new thread.
I tried updating my profile (while on InsertCoin, if that matters) and it was apparently successful and prompted a reboot. Since then, the phone is essentially nonfunctional as it constantly reboots after a minute or two of being on.
Is there an old profile that I could flash to revert to what was running prior to my update? Would reflashing InsertCoin be a better option (hoping to avoid this so I won't have to worry about setting everything up again)?
EDIT: Reflashed InsertCoin w/o wiping data seems to work. I'll just skip updating the profile for now.
