Just out of interest are any of the active members of this forum considering creating a custom rom for the 2X?
Hopefully, because this is a crappy system you get out of the box. To many running apps that takes to much ram and slows down the system. To many pre-installed apps. So i'm really looking forward to a custom ROM. Does any one know how custom ROMS are made?
Well i hope lots of Devs get this phone as it is quite the powerhouse! Man i wish i knew how to make custom ROMs! there should be a dummys guide!! haha but yeah ive heard Paul O'Brien at Modoco is thinking of getting one.... now thats what you call support

How do i disable them?
SuperOneClick v1.7 worked fine, so my phone is now rooted
U can delete the apps. (Backups)
Or just rename them change ****.apk to ****.bak for example. Dont know if this will restore on reboot.
Maybe someone else can answer to this. Perm or temproot?

You can use rootexplorer to remove or move apk from /system/app. Preloaded fsecure is slowing down the phone, just delete it.
To make custom rom we need clockwork mod recovery on 2X
I have used z4root, and installed Titanium Backup. Is there any danger to uninstalling apps that are pre-installed?

No, you can disable lg home launcher from “home selector“ in the main menu. i have ADWlauncher instead of lg launcher and i don't see lg launcher anymore in system processes

What do you mean by "home selector" in the main menu? I don't have my x2 yet, so I suppose it's something special by LG? I don't know this setting from my HTC.
Can anyone pull the kids mode apks from their tab and post them for me? I have a debated Tom that I love but my wife wants those apps back...
The only ports I can find are from the 5th and they don't quite work on this tab.
Probably don't need all the apps within the app but will need the kidsapps, kidshome, installer, landingwidget, and parental control apks...
Any help with this would be awesome.

Interesting. I pulled it from the deodexing firmware T525XXUANH4 for t525th. It works for me, of course. Perhaps the reason is deodex. Well, here's set of apk&odex (place in folder /system/app and give rights rw-r--r--):

Well, I would probably be surprised if that Kids Mode began to work. Firstly, it's this version of the apk for Kitkat. Second, it needs Touchwiz. Correct me if I'm wrong.
At least on CM 12.1 I couldn't run a version for Android 5.1.

someone will probably have to have it installed then pull app data for libs folder if there are any. then you would need to flash the /data/app/name of apk folder with libs to the correct area and also the main .apk to /system/app
but then again some manufacturer's apps are not compatible with aosp or cm based roms and need porting to work
(if that is what you are running)

Having had a crack at this myself... On my newsed SM-T325 I just got myself. I can only suspect that the clue is in the name seckidsmode... Sec here referring to security al-la knox mode perhaps?! no, not so much as full on knox, as such. But is still tied up somehow in as far as once its gone its gone. At least this is what I found when I tried to reinstall it back onto a rooted, but otherwise stock... And 0x0 valid SM-T325.
You might not care to hear it, but the only way I was able to recover (Twice now, as I write this!), was to re-flash the current BOC1 Firmware on top of everything again. Thankfully this hasn't tripped up my Knox... yet though I need to re-install TowelRoot + SuperSU again, unlike Knox however, you can install, and use this Kids Mode while rooted. But, as to reinstall it again after you've yanked it?
Well lets say that I'm kinda interested to know that One too...

Mute point now... But, I was on Stock at the time.
The only way I managed at the time to recover the Kids Mode, was to re-Stock, and to not removing it to begin with.

you need flash fire installed on your phone to make this work
i have made GoldenEye v52 5.0.1 run on our phones here is the guide for now im crunched on time so i will just give you the guide to go from 5.0.1 stock to 5.0.1 GoldenEye
the masterpatch i made has issues with the camera. i belive the other master patch does also but i will link it here anyways
go to the golden eye page and download the rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2313469
download the updaterscript attatchment from this post and the masterpatchlolipopbeta ( or try the other one here http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...update-to-i537oc6-5-0-1-t3089355/post60376229 )
OPEN do not extract the GE zip file (using winrar or 7zip)
navigate to META-INF\com\google\android
delete everything in that directory
copy one of the updaterscripts and updaterbinarys from the attatched files into that directory
now close that file.
copy the goldeneye zip and the masterpatch you choose to use to your phone
open flashfire
set up a wipe (select all but internal storage)
select goldeneye zip
select masterpatch zip
make sure flashfire puts them in that order.
flash it.
the rom takes forever to start up the first time. if it is over 20 mins shut the phone off and turn it back on then it should boot up a little faster.
the superuser in this rom is weird. you need to go to settings in SU and and set it to always grant it is a problem with this rom not from me
thanks to the developers of goldeneye and thanks to thisisapoorusernamechoice for the base to make my masterpatch.
like i ssaid the only thing i can confirm nonworking is the camera. but once a better masterpatch comes out it will be fixed
dont forget to hit thanks if this post has helped you in anyway please.

Oh I keep forgetting to ask, have you tested this with a non-stock camera (e.g. google camera), both with and without the patch? Sorry in advance if you already tried that. I want to try out this rom, I've just been busy trying to do other garbage with my phone I unfortunately have not gotten the chance yet

nahh not yet. i went back to stock but i may flash it again tonight. then i will test with another camera. but i did try with the stock camera and it didnt work.
If I flash this and don't like it can I just flash the stock rooted lollipop? The camera thing is the only thing holding me back because I do use that. I have no problem trying a different camera to see if it works but if it doesn't I want to be able to go right back to the stock rooted rom. Thanks for the info also.
Is this the i537?

I've been reading to try to deodex lollipop. I've found a few batch tools but haven't gotten them to work. Can't you take the app, private app, and framework folders out of golden eye and put into stock rom? Thats what I was going to try. There's a batch tool called Joel Droid for deodex lollipop roms. I just put onto my computer but didn't try yet. Keep me posted if you deodex the stock rom. I want to try to theme some things.

Check out the OP in this thread for an extensive list of system apps safe to remove, it's the list I originally went off of. Yeah it was made for kitkat, but nearly all the names are the same and those that aren't are pretty easy to figure out. Freeze or uninstall any and all unwanted bloatware with Titanium Backup, it's what I did. Some general pointers, uninstall any system app: with knox in the name, with AT&T in the name, anything google like Google+ or hangouts is safe to get rid of (obviously don't touch the play store or play services), and you can get rid of, for example, the stock Samsung email or calendar apps, just don't get rid of the sync services otherwise replacement third party apps won't run properly (i.e. you can uninstall calendar, but not calendar storage). Sorry I couldn't give you a better answer for now
I know on NH3 if you uninstall Samsung Hub your screen rotation will not work and no idea why it may just be my phone. I don't know if this is the case for OC6 I left hub installed for now. There is however a fix if you have that problem without having to reinstall Hub

I assume you mean this fix? Yeah that worked for me for both NE3 and NH3. However you can safely uninstall Samsung hub on OC6, I did and no rotation issues. Hell I was even able to mod android.policy.jar for full 360° rotation on the deodexed rom. But point being this is no longer an issue for OC6, feel free to get rid of Hub.

Practically everything I know about modding stock Samsung system apps either comes from this thread or is at least linked to in it
Some examples: getting rid of the battery cover toast, disabling home button on/wake on text message or USB plugin, coloring/theming systemui and settings, flashlight in pull down menu, CRT screen off effect, changing carrier text, etc. I'm sure I'm forgetting more, but those are some of the mods that for me into that sort of thing

Hello, everyone. I'm having an issue on my G800H I can't get figured out. I'm no stranger to rooting, having rooted 15-20 of my own devices, but only 3 were Samsungs (two S5 Sports, and a Galaxy Admire). I've never had this problem with any Android, but I can't keep a Touichwiz OS rooted. I've rooted both 5.1.1 firmwares many times over the past month using both Supersu 2.50 and 2.66. I've never kept root for over 24 hrs. I've thought it may be a Knox issue, but even when I uninstall every Knox related app I can find, I still lose root. The Knox apps I'm aware of and uninstall are:
BBCAgent
Bridge
ELMAgent
KLMSAgent
KnoxFolderContainer
KnoxMigrationAgent
KnoxSetupWizardClient
KNOXStore
SecurityLogAgent
SwitchKnoxl
SwitchKnoxll
Maybe I'm missing a couple. I've tried with both the Russian kernel and with the Tardis Ultimate kernel. I've even tried returning to the stock kernel after rooting just because I wanted to try everything. I've also tried rooting with about 4 different versions of the kingroot apk and even tried the PC version last night...none will Root either 5.1.1 firmware... @sasukesama, which version is working for you? I even tried the new beta apk!! I would use CM or BlissPop, but I can't stand my phone to not be fully functional and I can't stand navbars...but I can't stand losing root even more so I may use 1 of the 2. This morning, I even decided that I'd rather have Root than Lollipop, so I returned to 4.4.2 and rooted with SuperSu 2.4.6...a zip I've used many times on many phones without a problem. I lost root within 3 hours. If anyone has heard of this before or knows a solution, please help me out...I'm losing my patience with this phone, and I don't want to give up and sell it....

Hello, everyone. I'm having an issue on my G800H I can't get figured out. I'm no stranger to rooting, having rooted 15-20 of my own devices, but only 3 were Samsungs (two S5 Sports, and a Galaxy Admire). I've never had this problem with any Android, but I can't keep a Touichwiz OS rooted. I've rooted both 5.1.1 firmwares many times over the past month using both Supersu 2.50 and 2.66. I've never kept root for over 24 hrs. I've thought it may be a Knox issue, but even when I uninstall every Knox related app I can find, I still lose root. The Knox apps I'm aware of and uninstall are:
BBCAgent
Bridge
ELMAgent
KLMSAgent
KnoxFolderContainer
KnoxMigrationAgent
KnoxSetupWizardClient
KNOXStore
SecurityLogAgent
SwitchKnoxl
SwitchKnoxll
Maybe I'm missing a couple. I've tried with both the Russian kernel and with the Tardis Ultimate kernel. I've even tried returning to the stock kernel after rooting just because I wanted to try everything. I've also tried rooting with about 4 different versions of the kingroot apk and even tried the PC version last night...none will Root either 5.1.1 firmware... @sasukesama, which version is working for you?

Try this:
Flash stock
Flash twrp
Wipe>>advance wipe>>>check the data box
Now flash
steve's kernel
Flash su 2.50
Use the phone for more than 2 days see if it works correctly
If yes try to install one root app (x-plore for example)
Because I think there's an app that is causing this

I was thinking the same thing... So about the past 8 times or so I haven't even set it up. I only install busybox, kernel adiutor, and es file explorer. But I do use an older version of ES... And I do grant it root permissions, I use all the same app versions in my Zmax, too. I'll give it a try without granting root to anything and see what happens.
I'm on CM now btw. Stays rooted and getting used to the navbar.

I've configured everything with the home button
Single=home
Double=back
Long=recent
Way better than nav

Remapping manually not via cm settings
I think gravity box can do the same give it a try

I dont think gravitybox gives a triple press option, but you could probably do single press, double press and long press. Since they don't work, I turned off the capacitive backlights and fixed the native brightness slider, and now it may be time to try service on this phone.
I do like that the navbar puts the back and recent buttons back where I'm used to on other devices.

I fixed it by switching to CM. It bugs me bad to be defeated by Android though, so I'm sure to go back and try again...just not right now...lol. I'm enjoying CM. Not even noticing the RAM difference after raising the minfree values, but I haven't tried any serious multitasking yet, I don't think.
BTW, @sasukesama, I've read that this phone has the msm8226 and I've also read it has the msm8228. Well, the Zmax has the 8226 and it gets LTE. A friend who uses international phones said that to enable LTE on them, you have to add some 2 letters to the end of the APN. I will ask him about it later when he wakes up and I'll post back unless you already know about this and it didn't work.
Hahaa! Home button wake has as always bugged me about Samsungs . Since I have a navbar, I disabled the home and both capacitive keys. I'm so happy to be having fun with this phone again! Now it won't waste battery turning on in my back pocket.

Since you have PAC ROM source can you try to make a S5 mini version using cm source?

Yes, I can try, but building PAC for the Nexus 7 was easy because it was a supported device for that source. I haven't even begun to learn what it would take to port it to an unsupported device. I can't even get a kernel to build without errors with a configuration I know is working.... Yet.
