All in one toolbox for your rooted phone, tablet and Android Wear.
Main Thread: [APP][3.0+] Root Essentials
Root Essentials is an app for rooted devices that has all sorts of features. It is made for rooted Android phones and rooted Android Wear devices.
Android Wear Features
App Manager
Manage your apps with this App Manager on your wearable device.
Build.prop Editor
Edit the build.prop file on your watch with the Build.prop Editor. Requires a phone to edit it over a bluetooth connection. (All goes automatically and phone does not have to be rooted).
Device Info
View information about your watch and edit the DPI. The DPI edit does not edit the build.prop, but uses a shell command instead. In case you can't revert using the app, reset the watch or use this ADB command: wm density reset.
Rebooter
This can reboot your watch special modes like the bootloader, recovery, soft reboot, or just a normal reboot.
Root Browser
Explore the files on your device with the Root Browser. The Root Browser can view details of files and copy/move/delete them.
Download
Root Essentials is available on Google Play. The phone does not have to be rooted for the Android Wear features. The app will be installed automatically on the wearable device through Bluetooth. The app does not work correctly if manually sideloaded to Android Wear.
Support
For support on Android Wear, please reply to this thread. If you have any questions about the phone app, please reply to the main thread. You can also send an email to [email protected].

Nice work and thank you
but to make it stand out it really does require a lot more features for the android wear side....
LOOKING forward to seeing where this project/app will go:good::good:
But for now It does nothing I could not do with similar apps...

Both DPI and Build.prop Editor have been added in release 1.8.5. Please note that the Build.prop editor will not
work on all watches due to the squashfs filesystem, but should work on your Sony Smartwatch 3 as listed in your profile. Let us know your thoughts on the new functionality.

Hello Developers!
I work with Jrummy Apps Inc, the company and developer who brought you Rom Toolbox, Root Browser, Ultimate Backup, Busybox Installer, and many other root apps.
First, some background:
ROM Toolbox combines all the great root apps into one monster app with a beautiful and easy to use interface. ROM Toolbox has every tool you need to make your Android device fast and customized to your liking. ROM Toolbox has been featured on LifeHacker, XDA-Developers, Droid-Life, Android Central, RootzWiki, Android Police, DroidForums and other popular sites. ROM Toolbox has one of the highest ratings in the top 100 paid apps. Over 12,000 people gave it a full 5 star review! ★★★★★
ROM Toolbox combines apps like Titanium Backup, ROM Manager, Root Explorer, SetCPU, Ad Blocker, MetaMorph, Autorun Manager, Terminal Emulator, Script Manager, SD Booster, BuildProp Editor, Font Installer, Boot Animation Installer & many more apps into an all-in-one app!
The Revamped Rom Manager includes support for OTA updates!
Here’s where you come in:
We want your rom in our app. All roms will be *completely* free to download through our Rom Manager.
Why should you want to put your rom in our app?
Because your rom would be available to a much larger audience with more potential downloads and donations for you.
We want this to be as easy as possible for you.
To get the rom on ROM Toolbox, please do the following:
1) Fill out the file below with the roms/zips you want to have.
2) Save it in JSON format. I recommend using the free program called Notepad++ to modify and save json files.
3) Upload this file to your server. That way you can be in control of what ROMs show up at all times. Otherwise we can host it ourselves.
4) Send us the link to this file on your server.
5) Send us a summary of the ROM.
6) Send us the name of the ROM.
7) Send us the devices you support.
Code:
{
"version": "1", /*Keep this here, do not change or modify*/
"homepage": "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=...",/*link to website or original thread*/
"donate": "https://www.paypal.com/...", /*donation link*/
"roms": [
{
"name": "NoWizAOSPmod v.1.4.2 (7/22)",/*Name of Rom*/
"product": "NoWizAOSPmod",/*Name of series*/
"summary": "NoWizAOSP is a rom without wiz, and mimicking aosp...", /*Description of rom, and as updates begin, you will want to put changelogs here.*/
"device": "d2spr", /*device id*/
"url": "http://xeoduxus.com/downloadable/nowizaosp.zip" /*Direct download link, no goo.im please.*/
}
]
}
Note: you can add as many zips/roms as you want.. just add another section right under the "rom" entry. If you need any assistance filling this out feel free to ask and we can help you!
If you'd like to use addons, optional, flashable downloads with your rom, please let me know and I'd be happy to explain how to do it.
Ideally we would love for you to maintain your own download link. If this is not possible, please contact us and we'll do our best to help out.
ROM Toolbox is going through a major overhaul currently and has been completely rewritten. We want you to be a part of this!
Thanks!
~ Master Ramy
Jrummy Apps Inc.
(Mods, wasn't sure if this should go here or in development. Feel free to move it.)
Now is your chance, developers! Get in on this!
I recently uninstalled the paid version of ROM Toolbox as almost none of the functions worked in the Note 2.
Is the new version going to have all the functions available for the Note 2??
Yeah I cant even get Rom Toolbox to boot on this phone
If only there was a dedicated place here at XDA to find ROMs to download. Complete with support threads, change logs, and donation links to the Dev ....

Strange. I have the paid version also. Rom toolbox works fine on my Note 2. Everything I have used with rom toolbox works. I even installed the updated twrp 2.3.3.1from this app. They do need to get the latest 2.3.3.2 which has been out 5 days. As long as rom toolbox can stay updated I will always use it.
Have you tried changing the status bar icons??
I never used it for things like updating TWRP, once you have that installed its pretty simple to update anyway.

it does let you change some of the just not the 4g icon. ive changed the battery,vibration,wifi,usb with rom toolbox. the boot animations, fonts and some other things work as well. its as great app and i will always use it. everything work but a few icons. its even replaced titanium backup for me.
It must depend on what ROM you're running as none of the icons I tried worked with beans ROM (unless its been updated just recently)
Actually, all I tried to change where 4g and battery and it didn't work for either one so I gave up.
There where quite a few posts about this a few weeks ago, it wasn't working for anybody.
As far as Titanium BU, I never use that myself. i just BU quite a bit with CWM.

for the battery you will have to filter out everything but the 1% icons and that will give you all the icons you can use on beans rom. the 10 and 20% icons will not work cause beans is 1% increments

While XDA is excellent for all these functions, it is not as accessible as an app for people who wanna get things done directly on their mobile device. XDA also does not offer the ability to directly backup and flash the rom, change icons, etc.

OOH(out of home) streaming currently is only on pc and iphone, once the android app has been updated you bet il "fix" it also.
Works like a charm
Installed it on my S4 and it worked GREAT. Thanks for doing this. My tablet is not one of the one's listed in on the DirecTV web site as a certified device so I can't even download it. I decided to give this a try and it works great.
Many thanks.
Thanks brother your awesome. Installed on my s3 with wicked sensations rom... works perfectly :good:

Yeah! Was about ready to ship the GenieGo back and let Directv know what I thought of the root check for their Android app. Works fine on my GS2 running the Jedi Mind Trick (JB2) ROM.
I requested a mod to be added to the modaco toolkit with the xposed framework
http://www.modaco.com/topic/361634-...r-xposed-framework/page__st__280#entry2144113
If Paul can add this to the toolkit, there is no need to modify the APK and we can keep the play store version installed.

It takes me two minutes to remove the root and custom rom check (as well as the other things that they check before allowing end user to use the app)
Sure he could do that, but he would have to update his code everytime the app is updated as well. (Package names change, app dev "attempting" to preform checks other ways therefore changing the code and so forth are many reasons I wouldnt think he would bother)
If you have a precaution about running an app that someone (in this case me) has modified (for any reason ) and you want to use the original application you know u can "hide root" with many third party apps, and its even possible with supersu. This way would allow you to use un altered app.
To recap, I have no problem with any additional solutions to reach the same end result. There are many ways to get the same result.
Cheers

4.3 broke a lot of apps...
That said, from a clean reboot ( simply for less cluter) run a logcat and launch app grab the failure and send it to me.
Edit:
After some quick googling thats not an app or os problem but something on "thier" side of things.
Google " error code AR/1001" and you'll find what I found .

Probably the best rom available.
Just 1 question: Is there an option to turn screen on when pressing volume buttons? It's the only thing I haven't found in this rom, which exist in most of the other.

Also, I have navigation bar mod on my 7/30 build of CM10, so ignore those.
This should work on any Jellybean Android 4.1.x ROM built from AOSP, like CM10, AOKP, etc.
Please read this entire post before doing any of this!
This feature is now in AOSP fully as of Android 4.2!!
After reading about the recent discovery of multiple user code being in JB, I decided to mess with it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
^^ Um, yes, I took it from Him.
And it works on TouchWiz, Just so you know.
Okay guys, we can work with multiple users on this device.
Before we begin, here's what you need:
1- Root access granted
2- Terminal Emulator [from Google play] OR adb enabled
3- Busybox installed [increases the range of commands accepted by the emulator]
Now open Terminal Emulator, and type these codes to see the maximum users allowed
su
getprop fw.max_users
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It would show nothing.
To change the maximum users allowed, type
su
setprop fw.max_users <your required number>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Mine is 4.
To create a user, type
su
pm create-user <username>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To remove a user, type
su
pm remove-user <usernumber>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
NOTE:- the primary user number is 0. The users you have created would have numbers from 1 and onwards.
If you want to change the user names after creation, go to /data/system/users/userX.xml
here X is the user number, from 0 and onwards.
0 is the primary user.
SECURITY NOTE:
The second user can still access your messages, contacts, etc. It's best if you set a lock screen password on your own user, and select another launcher for the second user, hide all the sensitive applications using some application hider.
If you are on the second user, most of the data from the primary user is hidden (you can not acces it).
For example:
- photos
- unlocked levels in Angry Birds
- music
- contacts
- google account
- clipboard
- home screen
But there are a few exceptions:
- all the apps are there, as if they were just installed
- the recent apps menu
- the use-app-as-default-setting (I don't know the official name). For example: if you set Apex as default in the Guest account, it will also be default in the primary account.
- your messages!!

Just did.
Nice guide @id74em8 but, I can't seem to find the use for having more than a user when you're the only one using your phone... Might be useful for Corporate/enterprise phones though

Well I just wanetd to show that 4.1 is capable of running multiple users.
A friend of me is using a android 5.1 based smartwatch with a circular display and an own gsm-modul.
I read a lot about the new android wear 2.0 technical preview 3 for one huawei and lg device with circular/round display too...
How it is possible to extract the gapps, the playstore, the apps like settings.apk from this technical preview 3?
I download the preview image for testing for the huawei from this url, extract the tgz, the image*.zip and then the system partition. Sadly there are is for example no playstore app:
in \priv-app\ folder :
GoogleServicesFramework.apk
GooglePackageInstaller.apk
GoogleExtServices.apk
in \app\ folder :
GoogleTTSPrebuiltWearable.apk
GoogleExtShared.apk
GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk
Can someone help me to choose the right apks to test this in my device.
It would be really really nice if I port the great playstore for wear on non-wear device.

Play store is called phonesky.apk
It would be nice, but I don't think there is a lot of interest?
Some interest here, for the Ticwatch 2
AW compatibility is the biggest hurdle for this new watch. I have a couple of them and would be more than happy to experiment. Very nice watch with very little apps and a ton of potential.

Hey! I just found this thread, I'm just wondering how you found the tgz file?
I am in a situation where I need the separate apk files too
Thanks for the help
Well AFAIK play store is not installed, just a placeholder APK which is useless and just downloads and installs the real APK.

I extract the system somehow..? Long time ago. But I never follow this topic to the end.
You?
