Hello, I wanted to know what the Benefits of rooting an Asus Transformer Prime would be if you are not going to flash roms?
For me....
I only wanted to use proxydroid. I have a proxy server that need domain auth.
But since I routed it, I'm amazed by other applications that needs root access. From simple overclocking apps to more complete backups.
In the end its what you want or need. I needed to use a proxy server and if asus doesnt want to add that function fine... but then dont blame me for rooting mine..
Perhaps searching this forum, or searching general android forums will give you the answer more quickly.
kind of an open and big question.
the main answer is, more freedom to do what you want with certain applications.

I really just want to do A2SD, which I can do on my EVO 3d without rooting, is there a way to do this on the ASUS 300?

OK, got my gTablet, installed the Vegan rom after the OTA update. I'm new to Android/tablets, have been noodling around some. BUT: can someone point me to some basic intro to the user interface, Android OS, etc.? I'd like to learn how to do basics like remove apps (and which ones are bloatware), create folders/organize apps, customize the functionality further, etc. Most of what I've pulled up thru searching hasn't covered the basics for a new user. Thx!
Here is the link for the Advent Vega Manual, which tells a
lot about operating the Vegan Tab interface:

Hope this helps.

Thx! Any pointers to a guide to the general Android OS basics? (I haven't found one yet and I figure someone here might know a really good one.)

I think you'll learn more just messing around with it.

Alas, the A-to-Z guide doesn't seem to actually exist!

Not necessarily. I get some random pop-up indicators, and can't figure out some basic stuff, or if apps remain running in the background, how to organize the desktop(s), hid/organize icons from the main screen, where to find things in the file sys, etc.
Call me oldschool, but I prefer to actually read a manual or guide (I hate videos--I want to read at MY pace!!) and see just how the system is organized, what can and can't be done, etc. You usually miss a whole lot with the 'just play around with it' approach--I've seen this to be generally true over the past few decades.
Is there an auto-answer feature built into the non-rooted Amaze and if not, is there an application that's known to work? I have a bluetooth motorcycle helmet and want the phone to automatically answer incoming calls. Used apps like AutoAnswer and My Profiles on previous HTC phones but they don't seem to work on the Amaze. Anybody using an auto-answer app with success?
No. I can assure you on that. Google makes it in 2.3+ that answering calls requires system permissions for all apps.
I'm an Android 'tard but does that mean that no app will provide an auto-answer feature? Or that Google has created some structure that makes it impossible for developers to create this kind of functionality?
Just wondering if a should keep playing musical apps trying to find one that will auto-answer a call, or resign that it's not going to happen unless I root the phone.
Thanks

I think he means it requires root permissions to work and since unrooted devices can't grant this, they won't work unless you root.
Is it possible to root the phone in order to allow these applications to work, but not disrupt all the existing functionality of the phone? In other words, is it possible to root the phone and have it work pretty much as it does now, or by rooting it, must I also flash a custom ROM? I don't want to lose my WIFI calling, camera functionality, or other issues that I read about when rooting a phone as I lack the expertise or interest to monkey with these side effects.
Thanks,
Scott

You can root and keep your stock setup, custom Rom isn't required.

Hi Everyone,
Has anyone changed the NT build.prop to have it being recognized as a different tablet? Like say a Samsung Galaxy Tab?
Care to share your settings? Please?
The reason I ask is that a lot of the Market apps are not availble for our NT,and so by changing it, it should give us more option and openess to download and install those apps.
Thanks in advance.

This has been a very well covered topic.

A little bit of advice, try doing searches before posting asking about something that has been widely discussed. This item was pretty easily found and there are certain people that get mad when new users ask old questions. I am not one of those people, but it will save you some grief. Then if you have questions regarding something you don't understand people will be more likely to help you out. Good Luck....
Hi,
I saw on Internet some services that give you the possibility to test an Android app on the web: for example, Manymo launches an emulator on a remote server and give you the possibility to interact with it. AppSurfer let you test your Android app in an emulator-like environment. Pieceable Viewer is similar to AppSurfer but for iOS.
According to you, how these services are implemented?
Maybe there are some emulators running on a remote server on which run a vnc server, but looking at AppSurfer or PieceableViewer they looks too responsive for this implementation.
Any ideas?
Thanks
There's a forum for the Motorola Defy, and looking around, I find many people asking the same question as you. Apparently, there's still no way to root it.
Keep looking/waiting.

I'm sorry but I didn't understood your answer. I looked in the Motorola Defy forum but I didn't find any reference to what I was asking for
Can you paste the link of the thread you're speaking about?
Thank you
No one has any idea about it?
(I hope this is the correct section of the forum for this type of thread)
Wow. Sorry, I must have replied to the wrong thread! I have no memory of reading your post.
Whoops!
Hi all. Feel great to join such a huge forum and I have a question. Yeah. New stupid member with studpid question. But I hope it's not stupid enough and you guys be able to answer it(hope so).
It's kinda simple question for all of you who have some experience in Android Freelancing. For example you get an job request to build a Android Bluetooth App to detect other devices and some other functionality which client asked to do. So, what is your first steps to create the app using Android SDK Eclipse or whatever(PhoneGap, Titanium, etc...)? Creating from the scratch or already have pre-build code to start with. I always curious how developers start making app for clients, so it would be awesome if someone have something to say in this situation. Appreaciate any answers. Thank you
