Root status

I know Paul at Modaco have made some progress in rooting the desire.
But is there any other dev or team that are working on cracking the desire?
Without root this section of xda feel a bit empty...

good question me thinks.

Please look up what rooting means before asking this as this seems like another 'root' post. There are already many of these types of posts around why post new?
I am waiting for rooting so i can install different non eu keyboards

Going by the state of EU airspace at the moment, I wouldn't necessarily count on that.

LOL I think you're right.

the situation here is almost tragic. the flights will be stopped until tomorrow for sure. this is a problem much bigger than our desire's rooting...

I know it's selfish, but living under the Heathrow flightpath, I'm kind of enjoying it. I can hear the birds!

Same here - it's idyllic bliss in 'ampstead without a bloody plane every 2 minutes. This is what it must have been like in the 1930s! Selfish or not, long may it continue (though the prospect of nose to tail flights through the night as they deal with the backlog isn't so attractive).

Galaxy Nexus Came rooted???

Hey,
I bought a Galaxy Nexus here in Vietnam and just realized that it is running a custom rom and has been rooted. The phone was new (no scratches and had the original plastic covering the screen)... My friends here tell me that iPhones are often sold jailbroken so I was wondering if this is normal here??? English is a major challenge so I'm not sure if I will be able to get more information from them...
Everything seems to be working totally fine... just curious.

Post a screen shot of settings/about phone. Do you have superuser apk installed?

Here you go...
Superuser is installed.

Not sure why the picture didn't work... here is a link.

In Vietnam beware of the originality of the phone. It's easy to reseal the phone/box/accessoires,etc.
Definitely they sold you an used item. Go back to the store to get a refund or exchange for real new one.
Hope it helps.

I agree, the OP got sold a used phone.

yeah, i was probably used, or possibly a refurbished phone.
i head of people getting a Certified like new replacement (refurbished) HTC thunderbolt that was rooted with a sense 3.5 ROM on it.
but the phone is def. not a NEW phone from samsung. also, being rooted, who knows what kind of tracking stuff could be on that phone. i would take it back and do the rooting process yourself just to make sure.

Eh, you could always just reflash the factory image instead. That'll pretty well get rid of anything that could be installed on the phone.
Or use fastboot -w to wipe it all and then reflash whatever you want to be on it.
Assuming all the hardware works, of course.

I suppose the OP is in Hanoi Vietnam.
Do you like the food ?

either you paid a very good price and the phone works perfectly, in this case just flash a full official image. You can find them on code.Google.com
Either you paid the full price for a new one or it doesn't work or look fine, in that case I would go back to the shop and ask for a real new one or a refund

Sorry I don't want to bother the OP's life. It' that because I'm from Hanoi too and I miss My hometown.

the GSM extended battery was just now released in the UK so i doubt it will be in stores anywhere yet

Ahh... Well they are saying that there is no way it came rooted and I'm SOL. And this is Vietnam so there is really nothing I can do about it.... Bah. Its working well so I have no complaints really.
Thanks everyone for the input on this.

If the hardware is working fine then you can just unroot and flash back to stock and you'll be all good.

What is the store's name ? street ?

or, better yet. leave it rooted and install Adfree, Titanium Backup, RM, CWM, WiFi tether etc.... Unlock the bootloader right away while you're at it (since it'll do a wipe/reset) and then go flash some roms!

[Ruby] Glass Gem

Hi !
I like to use Ruby for back-end component. So when I heard about the Mirror API, I thought : "Great ! We will be able to quickly make software for glass. A few Ruby lines and it will be up and running !".
Then in a second time I saw that we should be using this : https://github.com/google/google-api-ruby-client
Which is ... Terrible to use. It's a nice piece of software, but it turns every simple thing into something like 50 line of code.
So I quickly wrote this gem : https://github.com/thedamfr/glass
For now, as I'm not part of the Explorer Program, I can't test it and get to know if it's working or not.
I would love to know if anybody have some insight about the gem, or about it's usage. Also if anybody know a way to test it, I would love to know how !

It has begun!
I wish I could help but I also didn't make it in the early group of lucky $1500 spenders.

Yep kind of expensive. And I don't think I would go to the US for that neither. I don't like this US-centric policy about the Explorer Program.

Me neither... But it's because it's being approved by the FCC.
About the price it's a prebeta program just for 2k people of the I/O and 8k of the #IfIHadAGlass program. The retail would be much less expensive!

There are ways around it. But im not going to discuss modded APKs to get around paying for apps. Thats not the intention of this site or what it stands for. Ya got lucky in the past but if you want the game that bad.. pay the guy who spent time making it what hes requesting :\

From the Moderator
To The OP .........
I understand this trouble you are having may be a challenge to your intellectual abilities .......... But..........
Let me help clear up the confusion..............
..........Downloading apps that someone else paid for, whether you extracted the APK or whatever other method you might have done....... that is Theft .........plain and simple.......
Stealing is bad ........mmmkay? Posting a Question "who can help continue to steal" in XDA is against the Rules of XDA ...........is not very smart and ........not allowed
Buy the app if you like that app .......... most apps these days will disable an app that you stole as security is much improved now.

Who's Thinking Of Getting This Phone?

Hiya folks. I've had Xperia phones since 2010 and I'm thinking of replacing my broken Z3c with an XA1. However I really don't want to be tied into a 2 year contract for a handset that's unsupported.
So I was just wondering..I know it's early days..but is anybody else thinking of getting one of these?
If you're browsing this forum and considering a purchase, reply and let me know! :good:

I'm really curious with this phone. Instead of mediatek processor, do you ever experience any lag/error during multitasking? And I wonder how long this 2.300 ma power battery can stand for a day. Maybe you can share your screen on time with list of applications installed.

Hello, could you confirm one exciting feature of android 7 (atleast for me) that it works on this phone software.
As of Android 7.0 phone can read 2G/3G/LTE frequency without ROOT. Easiest way is to install app Cellmapper(mapping cell towers to map) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cellmapper.net.cellmapper
Could anyone run this app(enable "Use new Android 4.2 Cell ID API" in settings) and post screenshot while connected to LTE only or 3G when 4G not available(no wifi)? Also, maybe send debug report from settings menu to developer([email protected]) with screenshot.
Thank you

Well, I've got this phone now. Got it this afternoon. Initial impressions are good. Yes it's not a powerhouse but, for a mid range device, it's really not bad.
Hopefully I can get it rooted soon then I can mod the hell out of it.

I've had it less than a day so I can't really comment. But I haven't noticed any significant battery issues so far. I've come from the Z3 Compact and this seems to do everything I need it to do at the moment. The sound is good, picture quality is decent (yes, it's not full HD or whatever but it's a phone..if I really need amazing picture quality on my videos I'll use my TV) and the battery seems okay.
Like everything, it depends what you're using it for. If you spend your whole day playing Pokémon Go at full brightness while listening to music, your battery is going to be annihilated..
