[Q] Disable VISIONary?

So, I ran VISIONary, played with it for a while, and I have a question that I can't seem to find anywhere.
I clicked the button to have it autorun at boot, but I can't find a way to turn that off.
If I click the VISIONary icon, it autocloses and shows a message saying This device is already rooted.
Is there a way to unroot my phone?
Thanks in advance for all your help.

To straight out unroot the phone, uninstall the app and reboot your phone.
To just lose root but keep the app, have VISIONary not run on boot. Reboot the phone, and when VISIONary runs, you can click the button you previously clicked to have it auto-run on boot, and it will turn off the run on boot. Reboot again, and you are free of root,

Go to: Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/VISIONary/Clear data
This will delete any user preferences (e.g. run on boot)…easy

Disable / Uninstall Voice Dialer app

I've tried to disable voice dialing since I don't want to use this feature with my bluetooth headphones, I keep misdialing people by accident when hittingt he 'speak' button on my headphones, and cant get to my phone quick enough to turn the call off.
I've tried to uninstall via titanium backup, however the app is restored after a reboot.
bit annoying, and theres no software option to turn it off eitehr as far as I can see.
Is there a way of doing this?
Thanks in advance.

are you rooted with s-off? if your not rooted you cant remove it, and if your rooted but dont have s-off, you will need to use adb to unistall it

rooted - yes
s-off - no
I had problems with the adb drivers, and getting adb to work. Could I use the same script in a terminal app like terminal emulator?

No you can't unless you are S-OFF as the system partition is read only when the phone is fully booted. So, unless you are prepared to S-OFF, you will need to get your ADB access working.

[Q] HTC Evo 4G (First time ROOT)

All i want to do is root my phone. I have read quite a few articles on it, as well as pros and cons. Searching was also done so don't attack me with the "use the search feature" line. Reading too deep into the rabbit hole proved that anything beyond rooting (although highly beneficial and likely to attempt in the future) was too overwhelming for my busy work schedule. I'm aware of the different methods to achieve root, but I'm still unsure as to whether or not i will lose any data at all, such as app, sms, contacts, call logs, etc.
Any info as to how to root my Evo without losing any data would be greatly appreciated. My main reason is to finally get rid of the Nova app along with others, and to have full control of my phone while i slowly learn from these forums.
P.S. I apologize for being #1,000,000 to ask on this topic.

Use unrevoked3. Its easy. Just follow instructions. U wont lose any data or apps or so forth unless u flash a new rom. Use titanium backup from market after u root phone to save apps and data.

Assuming i follow the directions correctly......consider your self loved by a stranger!
Thanks for the quick response.

Now quick question which i couldn't find an answer for. After installing hboot was i supposed to disconnect my phone from usb? Also how do i exit the white menu where it says fastboot, recovery, clear storage etc.

bump! i hope i didnt screw the process up

bump? ok if you already managed to install the drivers, make sure your phone has usb debug on, you do that in settings, apps, development. also make sure you have othe sources checked, you do that on settings, apps.
no turn your antivirus off on your computer
if you installed htc sync uninstall it
now plug your phone to pc( if it prompts you to select type of connection only charge)
then right click on the file that is unrevoked and run as administrator, follow unscreen intructions and done.
mine was automatic so i didnt need to do anything after i ran it.
good luck

ok last question it says done but my phone is on a clockworkmod recovery screen how do i just load my phone up and use it.

sorry late reply you always get out of recovery with the reboot now option, also you should instal titanium back up so you can back up your apps and get busy box, which you need on your phone so it doesnt lag after root, once installed titanium , open it up, it will probably say you need root, if it does dont mind it you have root, at the bottom you will see a box that says problems, hit it and it will ask you to install busy box, hit yes and you are done, hope procedure is easy and you can do it if not click my user name and send me a message

[Q] z4root error message

I have been using z4root for a while. Today when I pressed wireless tether I got a message. Unable to tether is your device rooted. I am using version 1.3.0 I tried reinstalling the software. That did not work. When I root my phone it says I am rooted when I press wireless tether I get serveral messages the first one says sorry but your kernel does not have all necessary features for running this application. I tried pressing ignore then I got message that this application will not work properly. Then I get message that says unable to start tethering is your device rooted. My software z4root says I am rooted and seems to work. Yet the wire less tether does not see that I am rooted.
Yesterday I got the update message on Android incredible. But it did not work. Got the not enough space message. I did move a lot of my apps to my sd card could this be the problem? I also have enabled acess control in wireless tether app. Also enable wifi encryption is checked? I still have version 2.2. Please help me I love using this.

Why don't you just permanent root with unrevocked?

Nothing is permanent unrevoked can be reversed verry easily, it just wont reverse itself.

Is safe and if for any reason you don't want permanent root there's way to go back stock/unrooted

Well in the developers world we call it permanent because you can restart/turn off and the device stay rooted. Unlike temporary you restart and the root is gone

Your default connection type has to "charge only" and "never ask". Also, you have to check "unknown sources" under settings>applications, and usb debuging has to be checked.
Have you installed the adb drivers on your pc?
Also htc sync can not be installed in your pc when using unrevoked.
Here is a great beginers guide to rooting and what to d after rooted.

I am thrilled, Got. Phone rooted. Used 4share app. Downloaded 4zroot.apk app. Installed it. Looked like it did not work. Stuck on rooting. After I powered off and on phone was rooted. I have only used this for tethering. Is there any way to save battery life with rooted phone.

Yes! Flash a custom Rom and Kernel and you will see a great improvement on battery life. The best kernels I have used with great battery performance are Incredikernel and Gingertiny. Do some research first then start flashing, and make sure you do a backup before flashing anything.

Does backing up rooted phone mean that I have all my downloaded apps and data on either my computer or my sd card. Is there anything else I need to back up? Right now I only have one program that I downloaded that is not from the market. All my contacts are on my gmail account?

When you back up with recovery it backs up your entire phone to the clockwork folder on your sdcard. It is highly recommended that you copy the backup folder to your pc on a regular basis just in case something goes wrong with your sd.

Ok just downloaded clockwork. Haven't really done anything else with the phone since it is rooted. Other than get wireless hotspot.
I am just learning about Roms and Flashing. What OS system would you recommend for the incredible. I installed Rom Manager. That is where I got clockwork from. Seems like an easy program. Do I need to erase anything on my phone manually before I put a new OS system on it?

Never mind just rebooted and everything is there.
Just backed up my sd card. But Now it shows empty on my phone and it says sd card needs to be mounted when I open ROM manager. How do I get my stuff back on the SD card? I just copied it to a file on my computer. I do not understand what happended to everything on the card.
PLEASE HELP

I clicked on clockwork recovery it went through the process. When I look at the clockwork file on my sd card it does not say anything about a back up there are some files in download folder is that the backup? Is there any OS that I can install that won't wipe the phone clean? And if I do wipe the phone how do I put back my stuff like ringtones etc.

There are a ton of things you can do to save battery life... Search the threads and you will find a lot of info....
Some things to start with... Turn off phone finder, use ROM toolbox to increase WiFi scan intervals, use sleep mode at night, don't use ES file explorer, etc
Lots of options

Rooted phone.. can I still develop app?

For my final year project I'm creating an Android app. As i'm sure most of you are aware the Android emulator is incredibly slow and so I want to run the app on my phone instead each time. I know you can do this usually but as my phone is rooted and running a ROM (that isn't stock), it doesn't give me the option to run on the phone when I run the project (I know you can usually do this because my friends unrooted phone works fine). Is there anyway I can get my rooted phone to work or will I have to revert to stock?
Many thanks

You might be better off in another non device specific forum.
But in general, yes, it can. The only thing a stock ROM can do that a custom one can't is consume more resources, battery, and space than necessary.
Do you mean to install an app? Just tap on the .apk file on a file manager or something and it should let you install.

Go into developer options and click whatever needs to be checked. If you run adb devices and it shows up, you should be able to install it on your device. If you are using eclipse the option should show when you try to run the program.

No, I mean just running the app like I would through the emulator without installing the .apk file on the phone.

When I adb devices it wasn't showing anything so I downloaded PdaNet and this re-installed the correct drivers for my phone. It now works :victory:

You cannot run an app without installing it ..
when u use the emulator on pc and and connect your phone via datacable to run your app on it , the emulator actually installs that app in your phone and then run it ! most probably u r not confused with this ...
