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.

Okay so.. what device are you using. Is it already rooted ?
First you have to root id
Then install Titanium backup
Then in the options in Titanium backup, you a the option to set a new random android ID.

No, I'm not sure 'how to Root'... Do you have instructions on how to do it??! is it pretty easy??! I'm not a complete 'dummy' when it comes to computers and phones, I just like instructions so I know I won't mess it up somehow lol... but I am eager to learn how to do it because so many people have said I can do so much more with my phone when it's rooted!!!
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?!!
Thanks for the help! Jon
Hello all,
let me present my self as a beginner in the world of Android.
It has come an Star A3 to my hands, with Android 4.0 and among all great things of IceCream, few Chinese apps I want to get rid of
the phone is rooted (well, one headache less)
I have flash the recovery 592zn.com_recovery_Star_A3_MT6573.img with Mobileuncle tools (included in the mobile originally) and done a Boot/System/Data/Cache Nandroid backup
Apps I want to eliminate :
Baidu input (and add the standard input keyboard)
own Chinese launcher (I have already install LauncherPro, but I would love to get rid of the Chinese one completely)
UC xxxxx (some Chinese browser)
Root Explorer (Chinese version, to be able to install the English one)
ICS 4.0 (also Chinese version)
a Chinese flash-light
a Chinese dark/light switch screen
a Chinese version of the configuration menu
so, basically to keep a clean Android
so, where I have to look for help on how to do that ??
what short of help / tutorial am I looking for ?
I have installed:
http://www.ltr-data.se/opencode.html/#ImDisk
to be able to mount the nandroid img files in windows7-x64
but I can't see anything, it ask me to format the unit (?)
similar with Daemon Tools .
any help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance.

My advice since you're rooted is install Titanium Backup and use it to uninstall everything you don't want. It's a root app that can get rid of virtually anything.
Seeing as you have a nandroid backup, in the unlikely case that the device won't boot at all without one or more of those apps, you can just restore the backup you have.

Star A3 for dummies
Hello
Ok I have searched for hours (as the video asked) and I cannot find an "android for dummies" guide. I dont know what a "root" is or what "titanium" is... so I may have found the correct forum - but I just don't understand it.
So the problem is this:
I bought a touch screen DualSim Android 2.3 GPS 3G MTK6573 Phone Star A3.
It arrived today BUT it has some chinese programmes on it (that I would like to clear) and I cannot seem to download any additional apps for it.
google.play wont work (apparently it doesnt support the device)
It has a few basic apps - but nothing wild or that I guess can't be re-downloaded again.
What would you recommend I do - do I wipe it and install something new or what. and if so please can someone explain it to me in small "for dummy" steps
I am not sure what else I need to tell you to give you abetter pic, but ideally I'd like this phone to work on the google apps system (or can you point me to where I can get similar apps)
On the "about phone" the
android version is 2.3.5
Kernel version is 2.6.35.7
I would really appreciate any help you can give me
Thanks
My first advice would be to try and achieve root on the phone. This should be relatively easy on a Chinese phone, most don't have great security.
Basically, "root" means to get increased permissions on the phone. There are certain files and actions on the phone that normally you can't do. With root, you can. Think of it as somewhat like logging into a computer as an Administrator rather than a standard user.
"getting root" basically means installing a hack to let apps on your phone do more than they could otherwise e.g. uninstall preinstalled apps.
To "root" your phone, you can use a tool like SuperOneClick or UnlockRoot. For both, you follow a few instructions, plug in your phone and click "Root" in the program, it'll work out the best way to do it for your phone and do it.
Once that is all done, there is a guide here for getting Google Apps (e.g. Play Store) working on unsupported devices: https://senk9.wordpress.com/2010/12...ogle-apps-gapps-on-your-android-device-phone/
Once you get Play Store working, Titanium Backup is an app you can install from there. Using root, it can uninstall any app you want.
Be careful with all this, if you're not you could break your phone.
educated dummy
Thank you so much! - and such a fast reply too!!!
I really apprecate your patience in explaining this all to me.
It sounds relatively straight forward - I will have a look at those progs and link you suggest tomorrow.
Obviously I dont want to break the phone either, then it would be more useless then it is already
Fingers crossed - will let you know how I get on.
Hi all,
Watched the video so I thought I would tag onto this thread instead of starting a new one.
Just bought a cheap star a3 dual sim android phone. This my foray into android phones and I am having some weird issues. Just a first note I have just rooted the phone but these issues where here before and after rooting. The A3 is a htc sensation clone i believe when my other half who has a htc desire tries to call the phone the phone goes straight into answer phone and rejects the call, she is on giff gaff in the uk and i have tried both a 3 network and orange sim and it happens on both. There is some weird chinese security software that I trying get remove but its seems very stubbon. Anyone any ideas. Ps battery life is awfull i only seem to get 6 hours from full to dead without hardly any use. Maybe I have loads running but unsure what I need to keep running.
Please help.
I have the star a3
Google play works perfectly. If you PM me, I am happy to send you the apk file for google play.
since you are rooted, I strongly suggest you get root explorer installed so you can go through and remove all the chinese apps.
Make sure you remove "himarket" its a big battery hog.
To the person who says their calls go straight to voicemail, remember this is a dual sim dual *standby* if you are using 2g or 3g cell data on one sim then the other sim cannot make or receive calls.
Also, there is no ICS for the Star A3, its just a skin on top of Gingerbread to make it look like ICS, if you go to settings, about phone and look, the version number will be 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 which means its gingerbread (if you really do have 4.0.1 ICS I would love to get a copy of the ROM for it!)
Hi, as the title states, im a noob to the hdx7 dev, I have some experience with other android devices, but I understand that Kindles are very specific to certain things.
I need to install Gapps for work, as 90% of the time I use drive and Gmail among others, and would prefer the apps over the web version.
I´ve been reading a lot, but cant find exactly where to start, Im currently on 4.5.2, is there a way that I can install Gapps? Sideloading just wont do, so I think I need a custom ROM, but, how to do that? where to start?
Hope you can help me, Thans a lot in advance!

Thanks a lot, but Im SO stuck, as my ADB just wont recognize the Fire. I´ve tried everything I found, installing and reinstalling different version of the drivers, rebooting both the pc and the fire, nothing, Im stuck...
I got the same problem with my second kindle. And the solution is to use a different computer to get adb. But if you are on a version higher than 13.3.2.6 then you can't get Google play store and other stuff that needs Google services.

You need to go into settings->Device options and then press repeatedly on Serial Number until Developer options appears - from there you can enable adb access.
I don't know where to start so I'll just begin...
My Cube T9 is using the stock rom with the latest ota update, rooted with busybox and xposed. ( and I didn't backup anything :crying: )
I started having issues with low internal space so I installed link2sd pro. That seemed to work well enough but now I've noticed a few icons missing from my desktop and nav bar after rebooting. I figured this would probably would work better if I reset everything and stated fresh so I did. After reboot, I couldn't connect to the internet because of the dreaded nvram error which I found accompanying a missing imei and serial number. (can you say "schlep-rock"?)
Since I couldn't download from the play store, I tried pushing some files over to the /data/local/tmp and all was fine. I went to use chmod, ls and dir but they were not found.
Now, I just wanted to get it back to functional. Where do I begin?
no expert here but
As title states I am no expert but in my past experience with galaxy tab 1 2 3 and 4 and now t9 after root and using app2sd missing icons after reboots were a norm. For some reasons it seems like missing registries (not a clue was its called in android talk)
My t9 is still not rooted. Think I'll wait it out a bit. Reading too many horror stories.
Have you installed any root explorer?
If so, maybe this is the way? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2197378

Thanks for the info.
I haven't installed anything else because now root seems to be no more and I get this parsing error when I try to install anything. I was trying the install-apk-from-google-drive but now that is a no go with no wifi.
Most issues resolved!

I was able to get everything except the serial number fixed by flashing a v1.02 rom in sections (boot, system, userdata, etc). I've tried every version of flashtool and sp flashtool to no avail. I kept scouring the links of google that led me to a treasure trove of goodies. Down toward mid-page is what helped me. It's called the "Universal Android Flasher". The only thing I couldn't flash was the recovery.img but I'm not complaining.
All apps install and function fine. No permissions issues at all. Rooted with iRoot. I'm still looking for a serial number fix but I'm not to concerned about that either because wifi is working and my cell service. I'll update again when I figure out this serial fix.
Happy days are here again!
Does anyone know how to access the recovery partition through the adb shell? I've tried /recovery, /dev/recovery and /dev/block/mmcblkOp8 but I can't access. Is there an app that can show me all of the symbolic links?

Hello all,
I have a Samsung S8 phone running stock Android 8.0 no root or recovery or whatsoever..
I would like to save a backup of my Whatsapp key in order to save my database along with it on my PC
I have seen there is a tool that can extract the key and DB from an Android phone but it doesn't work on Android 8, I think the problem is linked to the fact that you need whatsapp 2.11 installed (I have 2.19 but as far as I understand only up to version 2.11 allowed adb backup) and on android 7+ you cannot downgrade an app..
I tried to install whatsapp's previous version copying its apk on the phone without success, using MyPhone Explorer and Adb but it doesn't install..
If I use an old phone with android 4+ it works without problems..
Is there a way to work around this problem?
Thanks
