I'm thinking about using Limbo emulator app then run Windows 10. My question is can I use this being rooted, and if I do install windows 10 on mi mix will it screw up anything as far as having to flash my rom if I wanna switch back. Or is that what the Limbo app is for to turn off when not using pc style. I watched the video on how to install, it mentioned having to install a image file that's why I'm wondering If I will have to re-flash my rom if I want to switch back to RR rom.
Thank you

Hi does anyone know how to install touch recovery on a HTC Incredible S? I rooted via revolutionary. And I want to install Nik's new ROM. But sadly I have to install it via touch recovery so if anyone can help me or post a link, I'll be very much grateful! Thanks!

Prerequisites are abilities to read, use an android phone, download apk from net to your phone, install the apk, and use the app. If only you had ability to search in the dev section, then this thread wouldn't existed.
@bigeyes yeah I went to that website. But I didn't know how exactly to do it. I just wanted to make sure I was doing the right thing just in case. Thanks for your quick reply anyway. Appreciate it!
Well that website is horribly non-instructive. Just download 4ext Recovery Updater apk to your phone install it and update to the latest 4ext recovery touch using the app. It's that easy if you have root.
@bigeyes is it downloaded from the market? Because in my country, some of the apps aren't available. We can't buy apps too. Just download the free ones. I tried searching on the Android market and it says search not found when I typed in " 4EXT ". So any ideas as to how else I might be able to get the apk?
Although as I said the website is kinda non-informative, yet you failed to see "Download free..." at the top of the page. Here's the link http://www.4ext.net/get.php?apk

I've been browsing here for awhile, and always see people preferring flashable zips rather then apps. My question is how do you keep track of these?
Haven't gotten my nexus yet (January 10th ): but I assume when you enter recovery, and select a zip to install it keeps a copy of the zip somewhere. Is there any application (the equivalent to cydia) that keeps track of installed things and gives options to re-install/remove zips? This is going to be my first android devices, so forgive me if this is false :S
Something like Xposed? Its not available for Lollipop / ART yet.
http://repo.xposed.info/module-overview
Most of these "tweaks" are in custom roms anyways.
No. You usually have your zips in a folder (Downloads, for me). Be sure to make a backup in recovery. Once you install a zip, it is permanent unless the creator made an uninstall zip(uncommon). So the only way to recover is from a backup. So usually mods will be apps to save this inconvenience. The only thing like cydia is TWRP manager which is an easy way to interface with recovery mode.

TWRP will become your best friend. Backup your phone using TWRP recovery onto a OTG drive so you can restore it if SHTF and you some how brick your phone. I keep all of my zip files in a folder within my downloads so it's easy to see them.
Ok so Xposed is sorta like Cydia Substrate, as in besides the framework itself no code is changed to the system, it's all done in real time? So you don't have to flash a stock rom again if something screws up?

Right. But usually any tweaks with Xposed are graphical or convince. If you wanted to flash a new ROM or a kernel, you can't use closed for it. I've been using root for about 3 years, and only ever used about 4 xposed modules.

@jamcswain So when you flash an installable zip your really just automatically changing a file in your rom?

Eh. Kinda. If you flash a zip file, it can do most anything, but usually it runs a script(for things like root, gapps, etc.), or just copies files. Like I have a zip for a sound mod. I flash it and it takes the old sound drivers in /system and puts in the modded ones instead. It is a permanent tweak. Whereas xposed is dependent on the framework, not the ROM. And xposed isn't available for lollipop yet. Basically, (I'm trying to have this make sense), xposed is very limited and flashable zips are infinite. Xposed is independent of the ROM, and modifies apps, while zips usually modify the ROM.

I think you'll enjoy it the learning curve takes a while coming from iOS but the customization and tweaks you can do on Android are endless and iOS is very limited on what you can do.
Hello, does anyone have a quick and easy tutorial on how to have viper4android compatible with youtube, slacker radio, and my games such as clash of clans etc? I used the lolliviper method through my recovery and can only confirm that viper is present and working when I use Play Music. (BTW I'm on a Motorola Unlocked Nexus 6 with Android 5.0.1)
(Bump)
It's been 2 hours on Christmas Eve, don't be so impatient. Or search for your answer yourself, there's already a post in themes.

go into the themes and app section. go to the viper4android thread, grab the flashable version, grab the SELinuxModeChanger app, flash the zip, open the app, press permissive, install the driver for viper, reboot, then itll work. and xda lets you bump thread once every 24 hours, not 2 hours after you post.
Is the driver for viper included in the zip or when first opening the app? I have done everything there but I want to make sure I got the drivers. And I didn't know there were any rules about bumping until now. Thanks.

yes and no. after flashing the zip and rebooting, the first thing viper asks for when you open it is to install the driver. but you need that selinux app to enable permissive mode, or itll ask you to install the driver after every reboot.
OK I can confirm I have the best audio quality driver installed. It does not however ask to reinstall drivers whenever I restart my phone. Is there something I am doing wrong? At least I have it working for Play Music..

It only needs to be installed once, it keeps the driver until next ROM install unless you have a script to keep it on rom updates.

for some music services it doesnt seem to work for. like i use rhapsody, and vipers not working when i use it.
So I seem to have done something wrong when trying to root - usually something will come up asking if I want to allow an app root access - at the moment that doesn't happen, instead it will just automatically give root to every tom, **** and harry (every app that wants it, basically)
I'm running stock MIUI - any ideas how I can add that layer of security?
Are you running developer version?

open security app>click on permission>click on root access....
Now give root permission to any apps you want..
I'm not exactly seeing the straight forward method for nexus 6 compared to Samsung's
I want to easily install viper on Pure nexus 6.0.1 ROM.
Normally its flash the zip install busybox and set kernel to permissive .I dont know where the latest link is to just plain old viper without this Dolby stuff .

To be fair, the thread is a bit daunting. I admit I have visited the thread on multiple occasions intending to install it only to back off because I simply don't have the time to do all the research I feel is necessary to install the right version. The only thing I really want is a basic vanilla install that might make my audio a bit louder and customizable, but after reading the first 2 posts a few times, I have no idea what option (or even version [4.7, 4.8, 5.5, etc)] would be best.

Click this and flash it in TWRP no kernel mod needed assuming you're using the PureNexus default SuperSU.
As of posting that is the most up to date version of vanilla Viper from this thread (Viper Audio app ver 2.4.0.1, zip ver. 5.4)
I personally like the Sony/Beats version because it tweaks the effect configs to sound better imo but to each his own. I do understand the not wanting Dolby though, yea you can use it to make your headphones louder without a DAC but kinda one of those too many cooks in the kitchen things.
