So, I need an app to change my Android ID, and the Android ID Changer from the Market says "unsupported device'. I have a Nexus. Does anyobdy know another similar free and tested app?
It could be saying unsupported device because maby the app hasn't been updated for your firmware yet .or is it saying this for all the apps you try downloading?

I'm pretty sure you can edit your build.prop file in /system/ and it will trick the market

Yeah, but it also has just one review, and the guy said it bricked his phone, so I'm not so sure about trying it out. Is there any other app or manual way of changing the Android ID?

It's pretty easy to change if you have a rooted device.
Connect to your device with "adb shell"
If you're not root, become root with 'su'
Run the command: sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
You can check that you're in the correct database by doing:
SELECT * FROM secure WHERE name = 'android_id';
To change it, just do an update statement:
UPDATE secure SET value = '<new android id>' WHERE name = 'android_id';
Good luck!
Android-ID changer
Hey guys,
I'll think that Titanium Backup will provide a function in the next few days, to change the Android-ID.

I would just like to let you know that I changed my android ID on Nexus S 4G (xbones rom with matr1x 22.0 kenel) by copying the /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db file to my SD card and editing the ID in Text Pad on my computer. It opened the file with all those crazy characters (because its sqlite 3 file). I then just saved it and pasted to the original location in /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db. I then fixed permissions and restarted the system. Worked perfectly!

I had to do the same. When I went into adb shell, there was no sqlite3 command. Doing a find on it only found it backed up via TitaniumBackup. Nexus S running JB
edit: though I used vi on the adb shell. A lot easier if you are familiar with it

Hi ! I'm sorry about that, but :
- If you need 'dummy' terms, I recommend you NOT TO CHANGE your android ID,
- If you don't know what root means, don't use it
- If after searching on the web you still don't know or don't understand the risks of rooting, DON'T ROOT
- Rooting is useful for developers or "power users" who really understant what they're doing
If you understand risks and still have problems rooting your phone to change your android ID, we'll try to help.

I currently do NOT have Titanium backup installed on my phone... I reset my phone last week to factory settings and that deleted it...
There was a PAID version and a Free version... will the Free version work for what I want to do at the current moment?!!

If you root your AT&T X10a you can use the method for the captivateto re-enable non-market apps. The location for the settings.db file is slightly different than the ccaptivate though. I created a thread about it. Search for ATT non-market.

So Debrand Is Wat I Need? And How Did U Debrand Ur x10a, And How Do I Find Out If My X10a Is "R2BA026"?
I have done both methods and rooting has worked out better for me. Better performance and better battery life. Also, as I said, you can easily re-enable non-market apps. AT&T is a newer OS build than all the others. Once you remove all the bloatware the phone is much faster.
If you really want to get the most from your phone, learning to use adb is important. If you concentrate on getting adb working, it will make all the other hacks easier to understand.

You have to use ADB from your PC to install this apk and then you can run it to root your phone. You can try Android Central Sideload Wonder Machine but a few people have been having trouble getting it to work. It works for me with my AT&T X10 just fine though. When you run this app it will allow you to select the .apk file and then install it to the phone.
AT&T has blocked all non-market app downloads but you can definitely bypass this setting. I was successfully able to install non-market app by the ADB method as Naplesbill suggested. You will have to download the android sdk and familiarize yourself with ADB. This can take some time, but well worth it!
See this handy post on how to do so:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719
An issue that came up for me is that the device id doesn't get recognized by your computer. I got it to work by installing the SE update service on my computer and followed the steps to update the software on the phone. This step will install a SE Flash Driver on your computer. I restarted my computer and somehow it worked.
I then followed the adb install method and got non-market apps installed without rooting it. If you want to root, you can use the adb method to install the one click root and then you are done. However, rooting you AT&T device does not automatically allow you to install non-market apps. It will still be blocked!!! You have to adjust systems.db settings in order it to change it. That's the step I'm at right now. Going to do it after work tonight.
Is there any site or source on the web that provides downloads of old versions of Android Market apps? This would be for apps that are now updated or no longer available on the Market? I am looking for a site similar to "OldVersion.com" which has some old/classic PC software (but this would be something for android apps instead)?
Thanks if anyone knows of a source or sites.
CustomShortcut gone?
The app that I am looking for in the above post was a free one called CustomShortcut APK. I now have it on one of my two phones (the other phone had it but was lost and replaced). I have tried looking for a developer page for this app but no luck as everything seems to point back to android market as the source link for download.
Does anyone know of a way or source for me to get this APK back on my other phone? Is there a way to copy it from one phone to the other? I am assuming that it was removed from the market because it may not be compatible with ICS but I am not running ICS. The application was made by appli.club.
Are you rooted? If so use root explorer to look for the .apk in the /system/app folder and copy or email it to the other phone and install it.

No sadly I am not rooted. Is that how this could be done? I have an HTC phone (Sensation) and I like my "sense" gui. Don't want to wipe it out by rooting (that is what would happen, right?) If access to the apk is possible with rooting, then I guess my question would be, does anyone else here have CustomCut on their rooted phone? (Or possibly know of any website that would have those apk's available for download). I would be willing to pay if someone would take the time to send me a replacement copy.
just google for any app you want like this:
"title" "versionnumber" "apk" "download"
for example:
android market 2.9 apk download

Rooting will not wipe out your phone or change it other than giving you super user privileges. That way you will have access to get to the system apps folder.
I notice apktop keeps old versions around. But part of the reason I like Titanium backup is because I have a fail safe if a new update to an app is bad, as I can just restore from the last backup the older version.

Well I am not really too concerned about it wiping out my phone, but I thought I had read many posts here talking about once you root your phone the native skin from the manufacturer is eliminated (for HTC that would be the "Sense" user interface). Can you please confirm? Is this not true? HTC Sense will remain exactly the same after rooting my phone?
The other thing that has made me cautious is that my phone runs perfectly now and I see so many threads on the xda boards here and over at various android forums that start off with "My ____ app is not working right since I rooted...." Just a little daunting for a newbie like myself.

Thanks very much for the site suggestion. I have been trying to search for the CustomShortcut APK over there but no luck ...so far (the site search is not that easy to use). I have even tried to seach the site externally using google but, unfortunately, still no luck.
Wait for someone else to confirm on the htc, but nothing changed on my droidx. I just had superuser privs. All of the "this app quit working" is when people flash custom roms. You don't do that when you just root. But you have to be rooted in order to do things like that. Lol.
Rooting gives you the power to do that if you want to.
When I rooted my droidx, I did it just so I could have the power to do other things if I wanted. I am still on factory rom. But I am able to get to parts of the phone that are off limits if I wasnt rooted. I made it where I could tether, later I got rid of bloatware, etc.

Thanks once again for the reply. Now that you mention it, I remember reading the terminology "flashed" rom and thought they were similar or the same thing as rooting. One other question, once a phone is in a rooted state, if I was to go in and copy the APK for my replacement phone and put it on there could I then "unroot" lol ...sorry if this is not a word... so that my phone was no longer open? I had read somewhere (perhaps I heard it on a TWIT or Android podcast) that when your phone is in root state that anyone (ie: potentially bad software) has easier access to your phone's vunerable areas.

yes you can unroot. As for easy access after you are rooted to vulnerable areas, they can only get access if you let them. If an app wants super user privileges, you will get a pop up from su(the super user apk) telling you that some app is wanting privileges. You can grant or deny access. The only things on my phone that have ever given me a pop up are things that i downloaded and know need su access. Wifi tether, root explorer, adfree, etc.
I have found a site that keeps older version of an android app. It's called Android Drawer.
Hope it helps
I just recently purchased a LG Optimus Exceed 2 VS450PP1 Verizon prepaid and I would like to root it, but I'm afraid to use the wrong guide to do so.
I have already done this part: Turn on USB debugging: Settings and enabled the installation of unknown sources.
It seems that Towelroot used to work but no longer does. Can someone post a link to the correct procedure for my phone or the instructions to do so? I already read did a search for my phone and read several pages, but I'm still unsure which procedure will work for my phone.
This is my phone info:
LG Optimus Exceed 2 VS450PP1
Build Number KOT49I,VS450PP1
Software version VS450PP1
Kenel version 3.4.0+
Solved. I used towelroot and Root Checker to my phone, and it is now rooted.

You may also want to download a file called VS450PP1_04.kdz here. I think this is a backup of the phone software, should it be necessary in the future.

You're welcome.
I believe the file called VS450PP1_04.kdz is a ROM image for the phone with all the original stuff that came with it. I have not use this image for anything myself, but I believe it can be used to restore the phone back to factory settings as a last resort should things go wrong. I would recommend that after rooting successfully, you install the app called Titanium Backup Pro and let it back up everything to an external usb memory card on the phone. This is probably the better and safer approach to restore something that you had removed and would like back.
You can also go to the google play store and download the latest google apps that you have deleted if so desired.
I should mention that I'm not an expert at this stuff, just a beginner, so my knowledge is limited to what I did to my phone . I only rooted my phone to be able to install apps like Titanium Backup Pro.
I hope this answered your question.
Hello everyone!
I got a tablet from a big chain company of my country called Turbo-x Twister IV and few days ago I got a virus that can't be deleted. I did factory reset but nothing, so it got permission to install on the system and the virus is the tablet probably.
I did research and it probably is one of these three:
Shedun, Shuanet, ShiftyBug
Also the antivirus finds the SDK client is the virus and asks every hour to uninstall, I uninstall but then it reappears always. Here is some info I found about the virus:
Package name: com.xbkpnotification
Certificate info: /C=cn/ST=guangdong/L=shenzhen/O=xiaobukuaipao/CN=yu
PERMISSIONS:
Install applications, Delete Applications, Close background processes, mount unmount file system, receive boot broadcasting, get info of the current/recent running tasks, read WIFI state.
Does anyone know what to do? Someone told me to install custom ROM but this brand name is from the company and I don't really know which ROM to add so I won't destroy my device. I have Android version 5.1.1 and I always update it so it is the latest.
I would really appreciate some help because now my tablet is useless, it doesn't even allow me to go on the google play store and download games and I definitely am not going to add my phone number to steal my information.
Thank you for reading and I am looking forward for any help!

i have a LINSAY F-7XHD tablet on 4.4.2 and while removing malware that came preinstalled from it i deleted the settings app with titanium backup. i did not back it up sadly because it was not the app the app i was intending to uninstall ):. the rore are noms or recoveries for this device, and can't find a solution, would i be able to get the settings apk from a different 4.4.2 rom or is there any solution anyone can find or have had this happen and know of? i'm rooted but that's kind of already said? without settings the tablet is next to useless for real so id be forever grateful if someone could help me get settings back.

There should be a way to install stock firmware, installing it will re install the settings app.

You're a bit unlucky, i found a firmware for the LINSAY F-10XHD, but not for the LINSAY F-7XHD, don't know what can be done, but i will give you two options:
1-Contact the company and ask them to send you a stock rom link
2-search google for anyone who have the phone and try to contact him directly and ask him to send you the settings.apk, it can be simply backed up without having root using file explorer like ES file explorer.
Sorry for lack of suggestions, but you said it yourself, it's an offbrand no name tablet.

i contacted them already and they insist i send the tablet back to them and pay more than the tablet is worth.
i found the firmware for the 10 too is there anyway i can extract the settings apk from the system image? i tried to already using something called ext4 unpacker but was unable to even open the img with it. i was thinking it may work or is at least worth a shot since its the 7 inches 10 inch counterpart and runs the same version. idk maybe the firmware i found was corrupt or the program is trash since its old. but anyways do u know how to unpack the system image so i can pull the apk? ... or have any other ideas lmao sry, thank you
i cant even find one someone i could ask tbh... so is there no way a settings app from like a different phones rom will work? ): appreciate your help

There is a guide here to unpack ext4 system image, but I'm not sure if the settings.apk from the 10 would work for you, you have to be aware that injecting a wrong incompatible apk in the system may cause a bootloap, which is worst than your current case, because you only recover from this by flashing stock rom which we didn't find, i will look around to see if someone have the tablet and we can contact him directly.
