"omg, a newb asking an apk question, KILL HIM!"

I know I know... There are a lot of things I am good with... android...is new for me.
I have a galaxy note and I dont know the first thing about .apk files or rooting, etc.... I dont mind the way it works now... BUT
I want S Voice. (duh)
as you can see from my sig... Its be A WHILE since I have hacked/modded phones. Then I went to the iPhone for a few models and now I am back...
I downloaded "apkinstaller" and "appinstaller" but niether will load the apk I got off of xda.
I loaded the .apk to my external sd and made enables the ability to load apps that arent from the android market.
Do I need to delete something? Or what... I really need someone to give me a "step by step, you're an idiot" way of getting this done. I really dont want to root my phone if I dont have to.
Thanks to anyone who helps!

you shouldnt need to root to install apk's as long as you have checked off ability to install apps that arent from market. I have been doing that from my dropbox since my phone was stock everything. Maybe the apk is broken. Try downloading it again. Maybe even try downloading another apk just to test if it installs properly.

I will try that now.

- Download APK
- Open a File Manager (ES File Explorer or something)
- Tap the APK
Done.

actually I dont think that S Voice is an apk. From what I read quickly is that it needs to be flashed via CWM. Which is a bit more complicated than installing an apk.

This is the one I JUST downloaded (dl'd this one to my phone)... not working.

Yessir

I dont really have the time to read up on all of it but from what I have you may need to be rooted and remove voice talk first. I think a few of the custom ROMS also have S Voice installed on them already. This is a trickier apk than usual. Would be great if someone with more experience on S Voice would jump in and show you the steps. Sorry I couldnt be of more help.

not sure if this needs to be pushed to system/app rather than installed?
if it won't install I'm sure you'll need to be rooted.

say what? (told you I am a newb)

it is, in this state (unrooted), impossible to get it working.
You need to have root-acces (which you stated you don't have), because you have to replace the usual voice talk with the S-voice application.
You can of course root your phone, read up, and install the mod.

OMG you're such a NOOB! Kidding, just kidding. Well no actually, but that's just how it is

Toss it my way. Correct none of the unlock apps will work for the I727, I've tried many. Your IMEI is still in the database, It is just AT&T not wanting to give it to you. Your best bet would be to use one of the MANY online sources. There are several that offer unlocking for under $10.00 others that offer for around $30.oo ish. Find one in your budget that will work for your time constraints and go with them.
As far as busy box, you have a few options from the market that will quickly and easily install it for you.

Bought Phone from Craigslist- Is it Rooted?

I bought this phone from Craiglist, and I want to find out if the phone is rooted. Also if it is rooted, how do i unroot it? Another thing, whenever i try to take away a screen by pinching two fingers the phone turns black, and doesn't respond for about a minute for saying unfortunately thouchwhiz has stopped working. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks a lot.

I did, when i first ran the app something called superuser was asking for permission and i didn't grant access. And i ran it again, and this time granted access, and this time it said congratulations this device has root access. I guess it means it's rooted. How do I unroot it.?

Unrooting would be super foolish. If you wanna unroot, get an apple device.

First find out if its ICS or gingerbread ROM. Than look around the blaze dev. Pg., and read-up on the great ROMs available. Follow instructions to the T when installing whatever you choose and make sure you create a backup in cwm FIRST. Happy flashing
Flashing another ROM will fix the touchwiz thing, you don't need it unless you really want it.

I uninstalled superuser app and now it shows that I don't have root access. I fixed the thouchwhiz problem by just using the go launcher app. Now the only problem is that I want some of my tmobile apps back like mobitv and Polaris office. Is the only way to get them back just by getting them from the play store?

Two choices: get it from the play store (if available) or follow the instructions chjema posted. It flashes the original build and will get everything back as if purchased new.

[Q] Questions about rooting Verizon Galaxy S3

Hello all,
I have a couple questions regarding rooting my phone
i have a fully stock vrz sgs3 and the only thing ive done to it is loaded a different launcher (nova prime). i want to root my phone so that i can backup everything ive downloaded onto it (contacts, pictures, but most importantly EVERY app ive downloaded) and also slap a rom on there for some unique customizations (was thinking CM10).
I suppose my first question would be, in the process of rooting my phone, will it wipe any/all data and leave the phone like it was when i first open the box?
and if it doesn't, will i be able to backup everything with a backup app (and also which one would be highest on people's lists) before i start getting that rom on there and going nuts making my phone my own?
thank you very much for everyones time and help with this!
happy new year!
slainte!

If you use the one click root method(http://droidmodderx.com/galaxys3/?page_id=159) which by the way is way easier and faster than Odin, you won't lose any of your data, afterwards you will download Titanium backup to backup all of your apps, I'm not sure if there's another app out there but trust me this is the one EVERYONE uses and the best one. Then download EZ-recovery(from the app store) and install the custom recovery CWM using the app itself and download EZ-unlock 1.2 (http://rootzwiki.com/topic/32456-app-920-ez-unlock-14-easiest-way-to-unlock-your-bootloader/) since 1.4 is buggy, and press unlock to unlock the bootloader and then you can flash all the ROMs you want. You MUST have the bootloader unlock to flash custom ROMs/kernels and remember to always factory reset/wipe cache and dalvik and format system when flashing and don't ever flash a ROM from another carrier because it will brick your device.
Good luck.

You woo not lose your data doing it. Also, as a friendly tip download triangle away because this root method will trip your flash counter. Also, I HIGHLY recommend not downloading or following guides from other sites besides here and root, and maybe a select other few. Seen way to many bricks by following random guides.
Sent from my VS920 4G using xda app-developers app

Make sure you follow the root guide according to what software you are running. The ICS method does not work for Jellybean. Rooting will not wipe your data but flashing a ROM will. Just do a Nandroid backup in clock work mod (CWM) thats backs up your data with your ROM as well. You can download Titanium Backup to back up your apps. Sms backup will back up your txts and call logs.

Well put couldn't have said it better,
I would not jump right into an ASOP like CM10 for my first flash, you might want to start with a TouchWiz based rom like Clean rom first. AOSP roms in general take a few more steps to install and still have some occasional issues (data drops, getting stuck in roaming, and loosing IMEI (no data) any of which could lead to a day of anxiety and localized baldness (hair pulling)
I hope you know what your getting into.....You will never be satisfied with a stock rom again :laugh:

so i tried to do the root method you mention in the first part of your response, and it asked me if the uid and the gid are set to 0. there were not prompts for me to change the values of these id's so i assumed they were not set to 0 when the cmd asked me.
can you please advise on how to get these set to 0?
thank you!

Just check in the prompt, even if it's right it'll ask you, it'll say they're values in the prompt.

What is the difference between using the EZ-Bootloader or using Goomanager for TWRP?
I am not a fan of using apps just for the sake of it and having 3 of the same on my phone. I have seen people use Goomanager for TWRP, EZ-Bootloader and Rom Manager. All I want is one...so is there an advantage or disadvantage to using TWRP and uninstalling EZ-Boatloader?

EZ-Recovery has the the old TWRP preloaded last I saw but can load latest on sd card and use the app to install it. Goo Manager downloads the latest TWRP directly and installs. Rom Manager is for CWM.

[Q] root sidekick 4g without sd card

does anyone know how to do this then install overdose or gingerclone v2? sorry for posting here didn't have 10 posts yet

No, I believe you can use superoneclick to root without SD but you will need an SD card to flash a new ROM.
Unless you (or find someone to) make a hiemdall one click flash of a ROM, to the best of knowledge there isn't one like this made
But if you borrow an SD from someone rooting is quick

nope, your fine
also i looked and i think the most updated version of version 5 can be found in post 17 HERE
I know some people had issues a bit with it but the download link is working if you want to give it a shot.
Id have to dig through my files and check but i may have some more updated versions that ricandroid and i were working on... but the project kinda just stopped
ill look for ad_vitamin then too (which is almost identical to go_v5 but better in my opinion) as soon as i can
wont be near my files until tomorrow at the earliest
for now try out a few roms, make backups of the ones you like and as always

thank you! i love go_v5! its so awesome lol I had the modem working once but now the modem doesn't install on go_v5 and for ad_vitam. I choose wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, install the zip, then wipe dalvik cache and reboot. Am I doing something wrong?

Well these ROMs include a modem that should work fine, if you are having issues there is a thread with all the modems for this device and it is possible that another may work better for you
Glad you like the ROM!

nope none of the modems work am I doing something wrong? Could you tell me the steps you did to make go_v5 and ad_vitam work? I get E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext] when I choose to wipe dalvik. At the end of the installtion for aroma for go_v5 I get set_perm_recursive()expects 4+ args, got -109755640 I don't know if that is an error or not

Nothing special
Wipe all partitions
Flash ROM
Reboot
That's it
I don't think it could matter if you have no ext partition on SD card, but feel free to make one if you think it will help

weird when you said that ad_vitam worked lol. What do you recommend using to back up the roms? and how do you update the su binary? it keeps popping up saying its outdated. Thanks for everything you've done

Just the normal nandroid backup method through cwm recovery
I tend to keep a copy of two or three favorites on SD card and any others I may want on pc

I tried the nandroid back up through cwm and it just vibrates and stays at the tmobile sidekick 4g welcome screen lol. what about the superuser su binary? how do i fix that error and is there a way to see emoji on this phone?

In truth its been well over a year since I used the sidekick, as far as I recall nandroid worked just fine
You can update the su binary easily through an app, its out dated on all ROMs on this phone I'm sure
Emojis? I guess use another SMS app that supports it?

thanks, what app updates the su binary? sorry been a iPhone user for too long lol

If I remember right when you get that message a link will show to download an app from the market, run the app once or twice and all should work well
If not than just search for something like su binary fix updater or whatever in the play store and you'll find it
But in truth I think most root apps and adb should work even without doing so
Oh, and glad to here you left the dark side, even if it is for a phone that hasn't been updated in too long, the sidekick has much potential but lacks the devs
Best of luck!

thanks! I tried doing the backup through the recovery but when I restore it hangs at the tmobile sidekick 4g boot screen. And which rom takes up the least amount of space? I get low storage on the phone :/ theres no way to assign the app to install on sd card?

Not sure why it hangs, may have been a bad backup or you forgot to wipe before restore?
Not sure which ROM is the smallest but yes you can store apps on SD, best to create an ext partition and put them there over fat32 partition.
There are apps in the play store and many as well on xda, just search around an youll find some as well as instructions
