I want to have Pandora on my device Samsung Galaxy S2 but at the same time I dont wanna root it ? is rooting required in this procedure. I believe rooting will void the warranty on my phone it is not even a week old ? So ideally I dont wanna do it. So by doing this will I lose the warranty on my phone ?

Rooting does void warranty but you can always unroot to bring back to stock to return warranty again. These are the steps you need to follow to get it working outside the US. Again, you have to root sorry. I can provide the apk but it won't help you until you gain root. You will NOT permanently void your warranty unless you brick your device. It shouldn't be a hard procedure.

Ok, First this apk file that you have given is this like an updated file for listening Pandora APP the same App which with its full features and functionalities works in the U.S meaning what I wanted to know is this is not minus some features right ? This is the same thing as people use in the U.S ? I believe the latest ver of Pandora is 3.1.16(105790) so is this apk file the same version?
Secondly If I wanna root my phone only and only for this purpose to install Pandora how do I root it for this purpose and how do I unroot it again ? to regain my warranty back.

Yes that apk is the latest version. This is the version that is found in the US market as of now.
As for rooting you may want to dig around here buddy.

Ok I had one question here now that I have the Pandora apk file, Once I install ORBOT then how do I install the apk file and install it where at what location in the phone ?

Thanks. It works on S2.
Just mention that:
1) ORBOT reboot my phone at first...
2) Cannot search the app in Android Market by switching to "T-mobile", "Sprint'...

Impressive, even after 2 and a half years the nodes are still working rock solid... Thanks a lot Safaraz19889
I've managed to find a modded version of Pandora's apk.. the modded version removes all ads which is good because less data will be used.
-All deleted ads and unlimited skips
-Now W / ASX of New Patch Skip, so now do not get a single break! And Zipaligned.
I'm attaching here, if anyone happens to want it.

I just installed it and got a video commercial, normal?
Thank you very much Safaraz19889 for the trick!

Orbot is very slow. Do you have other faster proxy services?

Works all very fine for me on my SGS3. Best Radio!
Thanks for sharing guide and apk!

I couldn't connect anymore on these nodes so I looked for new ones: http://torstatus.blutmagie.de

Nothing changed for me !!
Getting the same amount of results as before when searched for "Documents" ie., 58 ..
Be paitient and wait anther 24h until fingerprint is updated
Regards
is there one needed for the x10a or is our market okay ?
im able to see paid apps on my rooted x10a, so do i need this?
The Marketfix for X10a is included in the new package so if you rooted with that package you probably have it. I rooted with the older one and I'm still able to see paid apps.
I would prefer using the market enabler app. More easy and convenient.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
i tried the market enabler and it didnt work for me,then i found market access and working like a charm

ooo .. thnx for the suggestion ..
It didn't work with 020? I was getting poor battery life with 023 and I did a downgrade..
Works brilliantly for me. Use it even if you have a UK phone; as an example, Flikie Wallpapers now appears. It's a really high-quality background/wallpaper app.
Thanks, guys!

Works at treat, I now have many games I paid for previously available to download.
Also found more apps appear if you clear the data in 'Google Apps' via the Settings > Applications > Manage Applications menu and log onto your Google Account from fresh
Greetings,

One for free applications and one for paid?

You have to wait for it to activate an it can take up to 24 hours if you read back through this thread it will tell you that.
I did it last night at around 10pm and then by 9am this morning I could get all the apps I was missing including myplayer.
hi
i followed all instructions
i waiting more then 24 hours
but nothing happened in the market
57 files when i search for documents
is this fix only for guys they dont have paid apps ??
i have paid apps but before i rooted i has 108 when i searched for documents
thnx
No idea then?
I had paid apps before the root and come from the UK, after rooting I lost a lot of the free apps and some paid ones.
Downloaded the market fix last night installed it cleared the cache and clicked force close and rebooted my phone, woke up this morning and had everything back in the market.
i installed the market fix again and it works now 108 documents @ search `` thnx
it works for me no need to wait for 24h only a few minutes

[MOD] Hulu: Flash 11 modded to work UPDATED 11/26/2011

UPDATED 11/26/2011
Ok so here is flash 11 which works with hulu by tricking it that the flash player is a desktop version. This mod is 100% the work of Vgeezy from thrive forums. i am just reposting it here.
Instructions:
1) Download the apk
2) Uninstall flash on the transformer
3) Install apk
4) Set user agent in browser to desktop (open browser-setting-advanced-user agent string- desktop)
5) Go to www.hulu.com and enjoy!
If these instructions dont work try this: (Credit Cowballz69)
1) Set flash to always on on the browser
2) Disable pictures to make sure you boot original flash in market (browser-settings-advanced-uncheck display pictures)
3) Play any flash video with original flash app
4) Uninstall flash from market
5) Install modded flash.apk
6) play any hulu video now
If your flash settings are set to on demand u must scroll down and click the green arrow on the right next to "share this video" to enable the flash. otherwise u can keep flash on always on in settings. (i hate flash ads so i keep on on-demand)
For a frame rate boost u can go to browser-settings-advanced-and uncheck load images (thanks cowballz69)
also if u want an easier ui to access vids some ppl prefer http://www.hulu.com/widget/player but i think that is better suited for smaller phone screen
if u are having problems and it doesn't work make sure you have the new 10.3 installed from market, install the modded apk over top of that then uninstall Flash again and then install the modded apk. (Thanks MonsterAndroid)
No luck here. Maybe I'm doin it wrong.

What is the error it gives u? Does it say platform not supported? or it needs higher version of flash?
works perfect. However please add this to instructions *must switch flash from on demand to always on

Ok will add tidbit about ondemand and pictures off as options. But u can still use with ondemand there is a little arrow next to share this video that allows u to turn on flash for those that hate to keep it always on to avoid pesky flash ads.
Does not work for me. Says hulu is not supported on my platform. Do i need root? I just tried installling on top of 10.3,it says not installed. Then i uninstalled 10.3 and used file manager to pull up the downloaded file and installed it. No luck.

try uninstalling the modded version again. reinstall the market version. then uninstall market version and try installing the modded version. Let me know if that works.
Make sure you hit all the x's on the tabs to close out of the browser ... you cant just hit the back button to exit, that will just put it in the background processes ... remember that. Once you come back in it should work.

I did this about 5 different times with no luck. One time my TF froze and i had to hard reboot. Then i decided to switch flash to ondemand, it had been on always previously. Dont ask why i did it, I just had a haunch. Anyways, it works now. I am not sure if it finally took or if changing the option made it work, but it works now. Thx.

Not sure why its working for some and not for others. Maybe for those who are having problems post what software build version u are using. I am on the 0423 build so maybe people who are on old firmware are having problems.
If u post as much specific detail about what the problem is and how ur device is set up maybe we can figure out a solution.
i'm on 8.2.3.9-20110423
I had flash 10.2 installed. put flash 10.3_hulu into a folder on my transformer.
uninstalled flash 10.2, then used Ghost Commander to locate the 10.3 & install it.
tried the stock browser, with the user agent set to Desktop... didnt work.
tried Dolphin HD with user agent set to desktop... didnt work.
rebooted. tried both again. didnt work.
uninstalled 10.3_hulu. rebooted. installed 10.3 (marketplace version). then uninstalled it. then re-stalled the hacked version. rebooted. tried both stock & dolphin. nothing. changed dolphin's plug-in settings from "always on" to "on demand." still nothing.
got angry. cursed out friends on xboxlive because I can. made angry post on xda forum. relived the horror all over again by typing this post
just tried installed the hacked one over the standard one. still doesnt work. uninstalled then installed hacked on again. still nothing.
Only way I was able to get it to work was by setting plug in to On Demand.
Got it to work on mine. Downloaded the .apk file and ran it from file manager. Failed to install first time. Uninstalled the stock version then reran the modded one. Installation completed then. Had to drop the show resolution down to 480. 720 was a bit to choppy. Biggest problem right now, is that the Hulu screen wasn't intended for a touchscreen interface.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
got it to work on mine but its laggy when its running on full screen.
Mine wasn't working with the apk from the older post...I kept getting the "unsupported on your platform" message right when I got into Hulu.com.
When I loaded this apk and followed the steps...I got all the way to choosing and watching a vid before I got that message....
but still no joy.

installing an apk

ok, i have just done the v10d update and the video is much better...
Now id like to install an apk from my desktop of minidiary but it doesnt install..
Is that what rooting is for? to accept all apk's?
Sorry for the dumb question, i was a symbian s60v3 and s60v5 user..
Nope. To install apk's you just need to tell the phone to accept non-market items. Go to your phone's settings, then Applications and check the top option (should be called something like Unknown Sources, I have to translate from Dutch).
Then just copy the apk to your phome and use Polaris Office or a separate apk installer from the market to browse to the apk and install it.
Hello
I tried that and it didnt work, was not installed or something like that. I ticked it to accept non android market apps.
Its probably pirated i guess.. found it on the net. Does rooting make it accept all non-signed apps? What is root for?
Thanks
ps: does anyone know where i can download mini-diary. Great little app i saw in the galaxy s2
No, rooting gives you administrative access to some files which you normally don't have so you can customize the phone the way you like it.
The safest way to download applications is via the Market app on your phone (you can also try http://market.android.com). However if you don't want to pay for some apps then you can search google adding the ".apk" and the apk version in the search bar.

[Q] SuperSU Cannot change configuration

Hi, first post
I flashed my TMOBILE US [SGH-T999] SIII with root66 and all went well. verified with rootkeeper I'm indeed rooted. Problem is when I first configured superSU i checked hide from apps list (figured id still be able to get it in /system) So although it asks for permission and still fully functional I cannot open the app to change the configuration. There was some codes *#*#1234#*#* amongst others I thought would bring up the app, but because the sim is no longer registered to a network it just gives a network error.
This has been going on for a week and would really appreciate a solution. Going to google play doesn't show any options. just a picture. If i disable in manage apps i can then deactivate on google play, but it didn't help. Also re flashed rom and nothing changed.
Should be able to open the app somewhere on the phone right? use file explorer to delete some config file that will reset to default?

Hi, to open supersu through the dialpad, please enter the following:
*#*#1234#*#*
or
*#*#7873778#*#* which spells(*#*#SUPERSU#*#*)
If that didn't work, check if supersu is still installed by going to manage applications.

Yeah mentioned the codes in my post. my girlfriend has a deathgrip on the phone right now but i'm pretty sure the exact error was: Not registered on network. I also mentioned that superSU is indeed installed cause I can clear su's data, etc from the manage apps area. I use groove IP for phone calls and I've been putting the code in the phone settings not the groove voip app if that matters.
bumped after a few days of waiting patiently.
Hi i was having similar issues, did you try
*#234#* instead of *#*#234#*#* that worked for me before although my issue now is different.
i was getting an error and work around it by installing
System app remover (root) from play store
then went to apkmanger and click on reinstal Supersu, that bring back the icon
that did not solve my problem of the dialing code not working anymore, but it got me to super su app
hope it helps

[Q] S3 issues for simpleton! adblock?, stay rooted?

hi there.
having only had a skim through a few of the samsung s3 developer pages i realise in severely out of my depth here, so please take it easy with me
i have just bought a samsung galaxy s3 and it has been rooted. neatrom v8.2, android 4.3.
i went for the rooted option because i was led to believe that it would then be possible to use something like adblock or ublock [popup blocker] as i use on my laptop. i watch football on a streaming site so adblock [of some kind] is kind of essential.
it came with an adblock app installed but it didnt do the job, and i have since tried a couple of others and neither seemed satisfactory.
so what i need to know is;
1, is it possible to get an adblock type of app [google play store] that will do the job required.
if its not going to be possible to use an ablock popup blocker then will i really need or be able to utilize the functions of the rooted phone. should i just go back to a standard install.
so, my next question is;
2, if i wanted to go back to the original OS is this just a straightforward factory reset, as in accounts>backup and reset>factory data reset>
any help is greatly appreciated.

Google play has stopped support for all adblockers as most the the available (free) apps are advertising based Install FDROID (market) on your phone and then install "AdAway" using FDROID.
You should avoid a gactory reset when you're running a custom rom and not familiar with flashing your phone.
For get it back to stock you can download the original Samsung firmware from SamMobile
If you like to use stock Samsung OS, you can also root it easily.

many thanks... :good:
i have just installed fdroid, then from there installed adaway, opened and updated it, so running. i will check it out on a streaming site and see if it does what it says on the tin.
if it works fine then maybe the root will stay.
if not, then what is the issue with going for the factory reset. will it melt the phone?
im a little confused with the last bit, please type sloowwwweeerrr
i can get the samsung firmware [is that the operating system] from sam mobile [as in your link].
are you then saying you can then root the phone to use the samsung firmware, but it will still use fdroid and adaway.
this would have to be super basic for me to even attempt it...

You can install the stock Samsung firmware, root the device and install any apps you like. Adblocker for android are doing best with in app advertising. Most websites are spam free, too. If you need a really ad free browser you can try Firefox as it supports plugins and you can install the good old "AdBlockPlus" just like its used in your computer browser.
BTW
If you factory reset a custom rom, you wil probably just have the rom itself, not even google services or play store. As for a custom setup you "pick" all the parts you need/want and install it together using a custom recovery.

its not really the browser or apps that im so worried about blocking ads from, its when im watching football on a streaming site, the amount of popups for gambling an sexy lady that also try to inflict virus warfare onto you is just unreal.
i will see if the adaway will do its job. if not then maybe i need to consider other options.
thanks again. im sure i will be back for some more parental guidance :highfive:
i now have found out that every time i turn off the phone the message centre number restores to default [not my network] so unless i re-enter the number every time i turn on im unable to send a text message.
o2 are unable to fix it because it seems the root has control of the default functions and settings.
