USB OTG support for HTC salsa
Hi ,
My device is HTC salsa (rooted), running by stock rom(Android version 2.3.3, kernel version 2.6.35.10), will my device support USB OTG ?, so that i can connect Flash drives(Pen drive/hard disk/mouse/keyboard) to my device, if not , is there any way to make my device to support USB OTG. I don't have interest in custom ROM.

hi there, although you can use the search function for this, i may aswell allow this question for others that wish to follow this.
I typed in USB OTG and got this as top search >http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1820375
please beware this isn't designed to run on our phones, this may or may not work. i would suggest using the search functions and look into HTC variants of this and not other brands. Good Luck in your quest chap :good:

How can I save system app as .apk file, so that I can use it in another mobile or installing as user app. I tried by link2sd, but I can able to do for some app only.

that's not recommended, why would you want to? all you would do is cause force closures and possibly crash the system.apk which renders the phone pretty useless. the system.apk is meant for each phone so for use in another htc model it probably wouldn't work correctly or functions would be missing, and to use in another brand android you will find it won't work at all.
rule of thumb, never move a system app to the sd card. unless you want to reflash your rom again or know how to replace it back again.this goes for google play, and other main system files just to save space.

Since Internal memory is low and I don't want to loose system app , I just wanted to convert system app to user app,install as user app and create a link through link2sd. So that it my internal memory increases.

there's no other way other than rooting and using data2sd to increase memory. its been tried and tested and all you end up with is failure and some serious complications

phone lags with data2sd
I flashed data2sd on my phone and I am using v11 BB X Stock ROM. My phone started hanging after data2sd , what do I do ?

Use Root Browser from Play Store. But do you want to copy the whole folder? You atleast cant save the folder an an .apk. But you can copy all .apk contents for sure.

Please don't encourage users to do the wrong thing. Never move or mess with system apps when they don't know what there Doing. All you said here has contradicted what I said of don't do it.

I have question,
I just got a new 8 GB SanDisk class 10, and have formatted Ext3, should I pop in the card on the existing ROM running existing a Data2Ext script ? Or should I flash the script back into the existing ROM ?

Xperia T can't perform root actions

My XT used to be fine: unlocked bootloader, rooted, could uninstall what I wanted...
But as some of you know, after flashing Sony's JB ftf, and following root methods, the SuperSU apk is installed, but doesn't work...
My phone claims to be rooted... but no system apps can be uninstalled, I have now realized that this is permanent. I have flashed CM10 and the deletion of system files still fails...
Thanks in advance.
P.S. Just encase you tell me to try again or that I did something wrong, I DEFINITELY did stuff how they are supposed to be done and tried many times.

Yep, checked, the permissions are also correct.

have you tried to factory reset and reroot device could be a glitch in the matrix

I noticed that I removed system apps with doom kernel and that when I flashed stock kernel the apps were still there... I thought I had this problem as well. But I removed them again using titanium and now they are gone.
One thing to note. I also rebooted my phone for the first time last night and when it rebooted I got the grey triangle thing. I left my phone overnight and now it's fine... Not sure if it's related but...

Nope did that, not working.
Doesn't even allow me to remove apps when using Doom Kernel...

Which method are you using to remove them?
Are you using titanium or removing the apks from system\app using root explorer

Uninstalling via ES File Explorer.

Then when flashing a new ROM (even after wiping everything), still no luck.

I'll use Sony's flashtool and go back to ICS, that should fix it.
I might just have to wait for the official update, things might work for me then.

Have you tried flashing supersu and binaries in recovery? You can download it from chainfires thread
Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk 2

Or just use the pre rooted zip from timin8r in development section (stock, rooted and deodexed).
Also kernel is flashable trough zip so all you need is cwm to start with.

Yep, tried all of that, still didn't work. Very strange. Flashed stock ICS ftf, just gonna wait until the JB update is available on Sony Flashtool, things might work better then, for some reason.

I've heard about some system apps being not just in the system folder, but in another folder too (might have been data?) It's happened before that people delete the one in the system folder but the app pops back after a reboot... probably won't help, but always worth checking?

No, that's not the problem, it's acting as if I'm not rooted; I can't delete these system files.

Going to try my luck with the new kernel with recovery.
EDIT: No, still not working...

Thought about formatting all partitions and sdcards, and then flash ftf , boot, flash kernel with twrp, boot, flash superuser and/or update.zip?

[Q] I'm rooted - shouldn't I be able to see files in the root folder?

I'm rooted and on Android Revolution HD 7.0
When I try to access the root folder in explorers ES, Astro and Solid they ask for SuperUser permission, which I grant but then the folders show empty.
I had problems a few days ago (see link) - where I ended up sideloading a ROM from my computer - could this be the cause?

Im rooted too and I can see them with Rom Tool Box Pro.

Can be a issue with the read and write with the Rom. Might need to flash latest version if Nike fixed it or whatever

You can try BusyBox Installer by the developer JRummy Apps Inc, This one worked for me! Just press install and thats it.
I can't post the link but you can find it on the play store, just search for busybox and its usually the second one.

For those who have the same problem is becose the htc one has no permission for rw in to the system so if u wanna keep the stock kernel u can use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.timos.htconerw
To gain the rw permission and after u can use the busybox installer app in Google play

Thank you so much!
This worked for me on 4.2.2 (Australian phone - Telstra)

Sorry for reviving such an old thread. The above link is for an outdated app (I didn't bother trying it). It could still work.
This was the way I installed to my HTC One M7 International version.
However, here's another option for those of you wanting a fix. Use the "recovery" option in the installer; It'll reboot itself to recovery and flash a .zip of BusyBox. Worked for me. The app is called Busybox On Rails and can be found in the App Store.
I can't post a link, maybe a mod can add one or something...
Cheers

[Q] supersu and superuser on the same phone

I unlocked my bootloader and installed a custom recovery. Then i intalled the supersu zip file and a custom rom. after that i found supersu and super user on my phone. Is it safe to uninstall one of them?

Yes it's safe to uninstall one of them but if you're not bothered which one you keep then I suggest uninstalling SuperSU.
I say that because I flashed back to a stock ROM a while ago and also flashed the provided rooting tools so that I could keep root access. Once I rebooted to stock, I installed SuperSU from the Play Store and decided to uninstall Superuser as I didn't need both of them on there.
Later that day I found out that I only had partial root access. I could use root apps like ROM Toolbox but I couldn't make any changes to /system.
In the end I reflashed the rooting tools so I could get Superuser back and everything worked perfectly again.
I'm not sure whether it was just a temporary problem with SuperSU or not but as long as you don't mind which you keep, that would be my advice

This happened because you flashed a stock ROM, with a stock kernel, which has write protection enabled.

Haha nor me. See I knew about the write protection on stock kernel right away which is why I figured I'd be fine with faux but it still didn't want to work.
Luckily it all sorted itself out in the end so I'm back using SuperSU again
