New to android - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I just recently rooted and flashed CM 10.1 to my gs3. I have a few questions I would like answered.
1.) I have my device rooted from some .zip package (forgot what it was called) because I have mac/linux, therefor I cannot use oden. How would I go about rooting a new device like, a gs4? I ask because I remember the thread saying the .zip was discontinued and was to be used at your own risk.
2.) Why do I get a bunch of errors when I start up any version of JuiceDefender in the logs? Screenshot is here

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- It says to get CM, but as mentioned above, I am on 10.1 and I own Ultimate version, get the errors with free and beta version too.
3.) Any known good additions you guys think I should add, or any other apps that could do better then my current apps? I have SetCPU, Adobe Flash (surprisingly works on 4.2.2 somehow) via installing a flash required app. Greenify, LMT, Clean Master, MobileCare, Ninja SMS, AirDroid, Everything.me Home, Quickpic, HD widgets (and the addon for it, asked the dev and they said they are gonna do lockscreen support in the future), the google play app that was leaked on the gs3 forum, ROM Toolbox Pro, Seeder, SwiftKey, Lux Dash, and Watchdog (paid).
4.) Is it me or is a dev lazy (no offense to you guys) if they say that rooting/flashing breaks his HTML5 app? I wouldn't see how that could possibly break it, and I know HTML myself...perhaps its just the dev or something root/CM 10.1 related? The app in question is Digimon Invasion, like the UI spazzes out when selecting stuff at some points and scanning makes the app reload as if I just launched it instead of starting battle.
Thanks in advance!

1. Read its corresponding forum, each and every device may have different way or package to root.
2. You better contact the its developer.
3. Try them yourself, something may fit you needs and something not, it depends on yourself.
4. Hnmmm, I don't know anything about HTML5, but from what I know the HTML5 is a web page language, and if it's web page, then maybe the problem is about browser?
As far as I know every different browser has different support ability about HTML5 , it's highly unlikely could be effected because of root or flash. In my humble opinion .

Thats down to the developer as to what they allow on the product some root fails on security issues .

[Think Tank] Flash 10.1 on Nexus One

So flash was already demo'd on the nexus one which means there has to be a way of installing it. Now you can download the Flash 10.1 for Linux on their site. and it has included 2 files. 1 is "flashplayer-install" and the other is "libflashplayer.so".
Can we push libflashplayer.so onto the phone and it'll pickup the library or is it more complicated than this... What can we do to make this work?
Its much more complicated than that, there are optimizations that they've done to even make it fast enough to use on a phone, plus the plug-in has to be compiled for the architecture on the phone (ARM) I do wish we could get a leak of the alpha plug-in though.
Ya, I think the only way this is happening is if someone leaks the version we've all been seeing. There's gotta be a leaky faucet somewhere.
We might not need to wait, the Desire (Nexus One minus the Google) has 10.1 Flash baked in...
Beyond me but it could be possible to, along with the Sense UI and whatever else is new and applicable, to port over Flash 10.1 if Google doesn't release it before then.
According to engadgdet the htc desire they demo'd had flash 10.1 so maybe when that rom leaks.
just a quick question : say the Flash 10.1 is released officially , in what form will it come?
an over the air update from google for OS? or just android Market app to be installed?
any ideas?
will it affect browser in any way?
OTA

something like this will have to be an os update because the browser will need to be able to access this lib/plugin along with other apps IMO unless someone can further my knowledge and tell me otherwise
I always thought flash would come as an upddate (perhaps 2.2 Froyo?)
as i've read, flash is already available for developers.
asking google....
Maybe it will be a OTA or it will come along with 2.2 as kyle said. Then again we will have it quicker once someone has a Desire rom leak.
I have some files I am going to post, which may help.

Flash has been on Sense UI as early as the HTC Magic & Hero and when my youtube app stopped playing videos I resorted to playing them in the browser with flash, how come HTC seem to have no problem releasing it? Flash 10.1 must be a lot faster

HTC leans its devices more to the media oriented.

I posted screenshots of flash (Hulu focused) in the apps section. Wasn't sure where to put it... If this place is more relevant then we can just delete my other post (if there are any mods reading =))
Here is the recap:
So I can get Hulu web page to start, and it says "loading" the video but it gets an error message.

Is anyone more informed of why? I know flash != shockwave, not sure if that is the issue. Or is the browser telling Hulu what kind of browser it is. I know that is spoofable. The last thing I can think of some sort of cache issue with the browser? In the settings the max I can set it is 6mb so maybe Hulu won't stream it. If we can get Hulu working on our N1's it would be a huge win. =)
guys, i just playing farmville on nexus one.

[ROM]iEuropa ROM

Currently it's still in pre-alpha stage and "not'' fit for daily use.
The ROM has been ported from Galaxy Ace(GT-s5830)(by Jusada) and is a cyanogenMOD 7 based ROM originally made for the HTC Desire by the AEDesign Team of China. The ROM is an exact replica of Apple's iOS with all its visual features.
Some screenshots -

Things working -
(1)accelerometer
(2)GPS - Had got an instant satellite lock (inside a moving vehicle and also inside a building) and compass works great! (using I5500LUYJP2 baseband)
(3)GSM networks (tested EDGE and GPRS connections).. Please test 3G networks.
(4)Root access.
(5)Adobe Flash player 10.3 works in stock browser
(6)looks like an iPhone
Things partially working -
(1)Phone dialer - works but a little slow (don't know how to fix that!)
(2)Superuser app - Force Closes
(FIX: Update SU app using market)
(3)Some texts are still in Chinese (Calendar ,iPhone Gallery, iPhone weather)needs translation.
Things not working -
(1) wifi
(2)Bluetooth
(3)Camera- says "cannot connect to camera"
(4)audio - this gives me a headache!!(tried but couldn't fix it)
(5)microphone - might work if audio works.
And probably a lot more..
DOWNLOAD
Flashing instructions -
(1)make sure you take a nandroid backup of your current ROM for switching back easily
(2)flash using clockwork mod recovery as any other ROM.
(3)wipe data/cache (is a must!!)
4. wipe dalvik cache( just in case this doesn't boot!)(not recommended!!)
Development Stopped!!

You are totally right unfortunately...

Yep this would be a good rom If a dev had the time to work on it,My main phone now it my SG Wonder and I would love that to have aversion of it on it..
Why would you use Roms like that when you have AOKP iOS theme?

[PRE-ALPHA] Mozilla Boot-To-Gecko (B2G) - NOT ANDROID, SOMETHING DIFFERENT

}
More information about B2G (Boot2Gecko) is available here.
So... I saw this and couldn't resist having a little sneaky play around with it. This is NOT a daily driver. This is NOT stable. It's pre-alpha. If you want something to use as a phone, this isn't it. If you just want to use your phone as a phone, you want this.
With that aside, and with the clear understanding that while this won't brick your phone, it's nothing to do with me if it did for some reason, or likewise if your cat (or other cute pet) suffers a painful death as a result of flashing this. At your own risk, like everything else here on XDA-Developers!
So without further ado, WTF is this? Well, it's a project from Mozilla (the lovely people behind the Firefox browser). I won't go into details, suffice to say I suggest you read a lot over at their wiki - start off at https://wiki.mozilla.org/B2G and work your way through the pages.
Anyway, what is this? Well, it's a TAR to flash via ODIN (codeworkx informs me not to flash userdata partition via heimdall, I suggest you heed that warning, and this tar contains the userdata partition). Within it is a kernel (should have CWM etc), a /system, and a /data. These are not for Android, rather are for booting up this Boot2Gecko operating system. It's Mozilla's attempt at a cloud OS for phones.
Anyhow, if you wanna know how I did it, check out https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mozilla/Boot_to_Gecko/Building_B2G_for_Samsung_Galaxy_S2
I've prepared a build environment so I can update it when I feel like it (read, when it needs it). So without further ado, your download link (direct link, should be quite fast):
Download Here
Video? See this post
What works?
According to my group of testers (thanks datagutt, and roniez ):
Camera
Audio
Front camera (cannot capture picture)
Video
Wifi (see https://github.com/andreasgal/B2G/blob/master/WIFI.md)
I have no idea if calls work, but I think you'll need to disable your SIM PIN (if you have one) first.
Big props to the developers of this (see https://github.com/andreasgal/B2G for some links and you'll find what's going on)
Look interesting, I will give a try
Nice. I will be reading up on this.

Let's have a go at this then. Suppose it runs on the same kernel as Android, right? If I were running Siyah for example, B2G would run on Siyah as well?
EDIT: Nevermind, just read the OP, it runs on its own kernel.
Wow now this is something. It works surprisingly well. More of this on XDA Anyhow does anyone know how to connect to WiFi so I can have a better nosey
Looks great could be the next rom i will use
what does not work?
3G?
Etc
Flashed with odin, but the rom not boot.. it stays in the Galaxy s2 boot screen
I know this may sound rude and lazy but does anyone have a video of it running on their phone?
OMG thank you so much! really love it.

Just to be extra clear, I can always boot into CWM and go back to Android if I want, right?
Well either way, downloading then flashing. I'll update my post on how it goes in a few minutes.
Wow it works. And started up extremely fast, it was like. Samsung GT-i9100 screen, then a second of being black it was booted up. This thing's cool. Can't wait for a working beta or stable.

[Q] Looking for "permissions" control solution/app

Hi,
Total noob here. Just came from Blackberry 2 days ago and my head is about to explode with all i have learned about rooting, bootloaders etc.
I Got a Galaxy S4-VRUAME7. Rooted it last night.
I am trying to find an app that will allow me to control permissions given to installed apps.
I have tried a few out with not so great results.
LBE reboots my phone (known problem with Jelly-bean)
and a few others i tried that froze (cant remember which)
Is the best option to use a translated chinese version of LBE? like this?
And if so then do i need to install from my desktop following instructions such as these
or is this a better route:
PDroid Privacy Protection which needs a patch. What would I need to know about using this one with my rooted droid?
or....?
Thanks for any suggestions/guidance.
Xposed framework with xprivacy is what u need.. No hassle of patching framework like pdroid but got the same function, probably even more powerful.

thanks! But now my head is really spinning.
Is this my required reading for the night:?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43892381&postcount=1703&nocache=1&z=9436779862769084
I would pay a good amount if i was able to just install one app. but i guess that would mean i would have to find something else to do tonight.
Just read xprivacy thread. Reading first page is enough I think. Usually first page of any thread is full of info on howto do things right. Basically what u need to do is root your phone, install xposed installer then install xprivacy.
Ok, I installed the Xprivacy Installer and now I am at this point:

When I click the "Download/install Xposed" link I am taken to this post.
From here do I just click on the "....latest.apk" link and it installs?
Do I need to install any other patches? What are the chances of getting into a "boot loop" as i did with LBE ?
I would like to help out however possible so I would buy whatever I can to support this developer. In this case would i install the "XPrivacy Pro enabler" and then also get Xprivacy Pro ? or are they the same thing.
Try asking in xprivacy thread. I haven't got enough experience using xprivacy to guide u through it but asking actual people who actually using it on its dedicated thread would be better.

will do. thanks for the help.
I got XPrivacy Pro Installed and working ! Now i can install worthless aps like facebook on my phone and limit the permissions.
I thought when I left Blackberry 3 days ago that i was done monkeying around to get stuff onto my phone! I was wrong.
If I had posting rights (i think i need to do 10 posts before I can hyperlink) I would write up a description of all it took to do the install. Definitely not easy for a noob to do. The installation consisted of multiple parts/components and instructions were not clear to a noob like me and they were not all on one page.
But it was all a good learning experience which will help with my next hackadroid venture.
thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.
Glad to hear that u nailed it at last. Enjoy your secured droid. Probably more secured than berries now

How do I root a Verizon Galaxy s4?

The videos in the sticky are incorrect or defunct. Many of the required files that these videos link to are broken links and the video near the top telling how to root a verizon s4 is false. The files this guy links to are blocked by Google Drive because they are "infected" according to Google Drive
I am not sure why XDA Developers are stickying videos with links to infected files. But there seems to be no other videos on rooting Galaxy s4 and I do not want to use KingRoot because it is potentially spyware.
I prefer something using TWRP and Odin.
So what is the real way of rooting an s4?
I am preparing to be passed an s4 myself... I've so far found some instructions, but will not try anything until I hold the device, of course... https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/jfltevzw/install
I hope I don't have to jump through too many hoops...
After a small amount of searching, it seems that if the phone ever took an ota upgrade, it will be impossible to bypass the locked boot loader... I've got my fingers crossed... But not too hopeful.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=63848199
Use the "old method" if you don't want to use Kingroot. The application only had a 5 day trial, so just keep that in mind.

I was speaking mainly for myself, not being content without an unlocked boot loader to install custom roms... If the device I receive does not have the old boot loader, I will pass it along to another.

You can install custom TouchWiz ROMs with Flashfire. I can almost guarantee it doesn't have MDC on it.

You're right (it's been awhile since I had this device). Just saying the probability of finding one that has not been updated is next to nothing.
Turns out the phone is tmobile... And I don't seem to be acquiring it.
I have a way!
I just rooted my Verizon s4 with kingoroot not kingroot and then switched the kingoroot superuser app out with SuperSu and uninstalled all the kingoroot app stuff. I posted a step by step guide of how I did it on this forum. You can click on my name and click on my posts and it should show up I will try to paste a link here.
