Cool. Thanks. I found this on another forum about and hour ago. Thanks for the response, though! I tested it with my buddy's iPhone and it works great.
good find guys took only about a minute in all to get it going! and works great
Is there a wired tether app just like this? Something other than pdanet or easy tether?

Can somebody help me out? I have read all the posts and I still cannot figure out why my wireless tether for visionary temp rooted g2 won't work. It installed fine and seems to be working, but I cannot see the signal on any of my other devices.
Thanks

Have you restarted since you installed VISIONary? if so click the icon and if it says device already rooted then it should work fine. I am thinking your device is not rooted.
When I first rooted my phone 2-3 days ago, I didn't think I would need Titanium backup. I thought I could manage with App Control. Now, I've factory reset my device twice. Once to get rid of the longer tempt root as it was not allowing me the use 1-click root. Second time was because my stock messenger wouldn't stop showing the notification in the taskbar. Yes, I turned off notification in the setting menu. The first reset I used App Control, it was a pain. I had to install all the apps one by one, and no system data was saved. The second time around I had just saved all my apps and system data using Titanium Backup. With just a few clicks I had all my apps reinstalled and data was all back. Now as I play around with Titanium, I noticed features like "lapels" which makes backing up only system apps with data (green) and user apps easy. I also learned it's best to pony up the $6 to be able to get multiple backups should you need it. If anyone ever used restore points in windows you could surely see the benefits of having multiple backups.
Now that I have a general knowledge of Titanium Backup, I'd like to erase all my backs and start over. Unfortunately I don't know where I could find my...backups...and delete them. I've tried the batch/delete all, to no avail. I might just have to erase from the sdcard or make another folder.
Anyways, I HIGHLY recommend you get Titanitum Backup. It doesn't matter if it's the free or paid one.
I did notice that it didn't save my launcher (pro) profile setting, ex. icons, and what not. It also doesn't save the data within the app, ex. I lost all my Angry Bird progress. But, I don't think the Titanium Backup is able to save such info, yet.
wireless tether shoot me and titanum are the best and seem only good ones for non developers
GOOD ROOT APP! Hot Reboot
I found one the other day called "Hot Reboot". Its like quickboot only it adds one great feature... fast rebooting. Its not a system reset like many other fast rebooters but it actually reboots the phone in an insanely fast speed. Its about $1 on the market and worth ever penny. At least try it out... its great for people who use a lot of apps and they reside on the sdcard which makes booting slow. And good for impatient folks

for the ones who was able to get the wifi tethering working, I have used VISIONary temp root set on auto at boot and installed the tethering app on this post, I get the "Not Root" message saying "Sorry, but your kernel does not have all the necessary features for running this application." Anybody got a clue? I am not familiar with adb manual installation. Thank you!

Hi Guys,
Just thought I would let you all know, that there is an app that temporarily removes root, I work for Sky Sports(attached to Sky), and i've known for a while that it wouldn't work on rooted devices, DRM and all that.
However, some testing i've done with my Galaxy S2, i've found an app which removes root(backs it up too), OTA RootKeeper, it temporaily unroot,(keeps backup) basically allows any apps that dont' work with root to work.
Tested and tried, i'm just hoping the guys at Text and Mobile division at Sky bring out anytime or even anytime+ in the near future.
Though we love our apple products within Sky, so may be a while before android gets anything like that, I on the other hand hate Apple.
Thought I would give people a heads up on how to get the new app working.
Yeah .. This method has also been mentioned by someone in the Sky Forums site ....
http://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Using-Sky-Go/Got-it-working-on-rooted-phone/m-p/319073
I'm unfortunately on ICS so it doesn't work for me either way ... Personally I'm really disappointed with Sky, having taken so long to bring out an app and then not have it up to date.
Already tried that with a different app, still hangs on loading.... 0%. I got it working once the first day, but temp unroot does nothing for me, even with supercurio's app

Are you using ICS?
Yeah, hoping one of the devs brings a fix out for ICS.
As for temp unroot, i'm happy doing that aslong as it works.
If you are on an ICS rom just change your build.prop
"ro.build.version = 2.3.7" (not 4.0.3)
that will get past the ICS check.
then you need to be on a stock rom and stock kernel (not cf-root or other!) and use OTA Rootkeeper app (free in market) to hide root when you want to use SkyGo

I've managed to get it going by using CWM to flash the a stock KD1 kernal then using Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper to hide root.
When I've finished watching sky I use CWM to flash my siyah kernal back.

Likewise...
Sky need to release an app that fully works on ask rooted phones, less of the excuses.
I do the same work around as I want my Kernel to be Siyah, but the only way to get Sky Go working us to flash a stock Kernel.

Hiding root I can handle but having to flash a stock kernel to use the app is too much hassle but I hate not being able to use it netflix works with hiding root what's so special about sky go?

Hi Guys - I followed the above suggestion and it worked!! Only suprise is that skygo now works with or without using ota rootkeeper!!!!!
works like a charm.
Well i went completely stock and installed sky go and its rubbish half the programs are not shown "this program is not available on SKY-go" almost 60% of sky one is not shown.
its not worth un-rooting for this yet until there is more watch-able content on the app imo.

The iPhone app is the same. The movies are a big benefit though, but I wouldn't watch them on a 3G connection, only have 500mb a month, and when i'm on Wifi i'm either at a PC at work to watch, or at home with TV.
It would be good if I was at someone's house and they had Wifi though.
I flashed speedmod kernel as described with mobile odin, then temporary uprooted with voodoo App, When I want to change back to NEAK kernel just flash back with mobile odin again, and re-root with Voodoo.
Whole process takes a few minutes, (a pain I know) but worth it to watch the epl while working away all week, I'll put up with it till hopefully a cracked apk comes along.

The above topic explains how to get working on ICS. I have stock kernel and stuff LP7, and I can confirm it's working using the 'fixed' app and voodoo unroot.

Hi
Was just wondering if any of you UK users have got this app to work on a rooted phone? The fact Sky blocked the app from rooted devices is disgraceful, and I just wish Virgin TV had an alternative to this. I have tried hiding root via some apps and even though my phone says "not rooted," this stupid app still doesn't work.
Cheers
I've had it working on stock rooted roms using the Exynos abuse app. Can simply remove root when wanting to watch and reroot after. Only way I've found to get it working

This doesn't seem to work for me though with me though on stock rooted rom.
I work for Sky and as far as I'm aware they will never be able to make Sky Go work on rooted devices for a number of reasons, copyrighted content for one. I know it's a bind but at the end of the day, Sky Go is a free service. You don't subscribe to Sky just because of Sky Go nor do you buy a particular device just because of Sky Go. There are other apps out there that won't work on rooted devices, it's simply the risk you take by rooting. I've often thought of rooting but I have to outweigh what I'll lose over what I'll gain and with the things you can customise without rooting, I'm sticking with what I have.

Hey all,
I have had some minor experience in unlocking and rooting my older android devices, but I was wondering if someone could shed some light on the current state of affairs. I just received a brand new nexus 7 and am trying to decide whether or not to unlock/root it.
I remember back with my Xoom as soon as I unlocked the boot-loader, Hulu stopped working. Is this still true? Are there any other side effects like that?
Thanks for all the help everyone
Nexus is basically made for rooting so no worries.

Some apps don't run if you're rooted. However, that's usually not for any technical reason; it's just because some app makers write a check for root into their apps and refuse to run if they find root. I don't know if Hulu is like that, but you might want to check if you have any apps that are like that. Alternatively, you can always unroot or use a hide root app to get around the app check.

Which Hide root app do you suggest ?
I was going to recommend OTA Rootkeeper, but apparently 4.3's security changes prevent it from working. As far as I can tell, it looks like you can't hide root on 4.3.
Can anyone confirm whether or not Hulu works with Root?

I use it a few times a week to watch stuff. Works fine on my rooted N7 with CleanROM and ElementalX kernel.
I don't see how I get all kind of errors when I try rooting this is it cuz I'm using winxp?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
the one and only downside of rooting is you start suffering from ORD (Obsessive ROM-updating Disorder). I've been suffering it for past few months, and it seriously gets to my head sometimes.
Symptoms:
1) You feel like updating your ROM every day a nightly comes out, even if it is without any change. Just because it has a different incremental number.
2) You can't concentrate on studies, tv, movies, GFs, or even on your potty.
3) You dream about a new nightly every night after flashing current nightly.
4) You have titanium backup on your device.
Cure:
1) no cure.
I can't think of a single app that doesn't work with while rooted. It used to be Google Movies didn't work, but that's no longer the case.
Rooting isn't a big deal. The worst part is that it resets your devices to stock, so backup first.

I had some gps lock on issues after rooting, but now that its rooted I can edit the gps.conf and fix issues.

Lets just say we get root before L is released for the AT&T Note 4. What would you do? Hold off and hope for a bootstrap so you can put a custom variation of L or any other rom, or just bite the bullet and take the update knowing you may never have root again? I think this is a dilemma that a lot of us will be facing soon.
CAN A MODERATOR MOVE THIS TO GENERAL SECTION?
Root is more important. I'd rather have adblock and tibu than lollipop.

I absolutely agree! Xposed, tibu, and Adaway!
With some user experience with a locked phone.
If you ever want to root never update officially as any chances of safely rooting becomes exponentially harder than before the update.
Stay away from those tempting lolipops when they arrive...

That's what I thought until I actually searched.
Adblock plus is a non-root version that works just as well (you just have to set your wifi and APN to proxy localhost port 2020) and there are about a billion backup alternatives...
Honestly stock rom is so smooth I might just upgrade and forget about it, custom roms always need tweaking and have some little thing I can't get perfect that bugs me.

I completely agree with you. Without an unlocked bootloader, we would just get stock Touchwiz roms anyways.
I've had many rooted Samsung phones over the past few years so I know the song and dance. The only difference between stock and a custom rom is the custom rom will be debloated, possibly have baked in extra features (which are usually alternatively achieved with xposed modules) and possibly a theme.
Take those things away, and it performs no different than stock Touchwiz. Believe me, any perceived performance difference is pure placebo. I've done many of my own tests to confirm this.
But to sum up my rant, I'm completely happy with this phone without root. It's overrated to be honest.
What version of adblock doesn't require root? Can you put up a link?
Just want to get rid of the bloat they stuff down our throats. I hate it and that really irritating ATT logo. I doubt I'll miss Lollipop, just as I never missed any of the updates that came after I rooted my Note 2 on day one.

The only big drawback for me and not having root is the SD card lockdown. I mean really, it is external storage and any app I chose should be allowed to wright to it when I request it.
adblock plus website...
adblock works without root by routing apps through it this does not require root.
If you have root it automatically changes the settings etc but if you don't it tells you what settings you have to manually input to get it to work just the same no root required but root preferred.
I'm in the middle... I've always rooted my phones... Just like the different customizations, but with this phone, I'm completely happy with it as is.. I just put different themes on it to spice up whatever I feel I want... But I'd at least like the option to root, if I wanted, but to answer the question, of L comes out before root is acquired, I'm definitely upgrading
Really rather have root but if it doesn't then I wouldn't mind. So far I'm really enjoying the note 4. I'm not even seeing TouchWiz stutters everything is smooth and even the stock keyboard which I usually change anyway I'm liking more and more.
But I do have to agree don't get me wrong the devs I respect for all their time and work, but I'm not into stock custom rom. It also feels nice to just use the phone for what it is. With me I was always tweaking and doing so much I never really fully enjoyed the phone.
I'd rather have root. I was wondering if I'm going to keep the note or use my rooted and safestrapped s5. But something about the note makes it hard to put down.

It was a minor annoyance for me, the camera app defaulted to sd storage and I can save pics but not edit or delete, so I just changed default storage to phone.
Also it's nice to have a really clean, organized sd card IMO I didn't like all the app data folders...

I actually found out it was causing network lag, so I switched to the real ABP: https://adblockplus.org/en/android-install
But it works the same way, the app tells you how to set up your wifi proxy, but you can just add proxy "localhost" port 2020 to your apn and its works on 4g too!
ViperAudio would be nice
