Titanium backup..Adfree .. etc

- speed (cpu tweaks)
- no ads
- battery tweaks
- some kernel support swap (more ram memory)
- back up all your data
- change lcd density ( resolution)
- and a lot more

Super One Click is easy enough... even though you might have to try multiple times, its the closest thing to a "one touch root".

As stated in original thread if you hear sound but black screen you need to send him logcat and device model. Its a known issue.

My friend and I both tried different builds. I always have black screen. Funny thing is that the first time he tried it worked for him. He didn't play any movies but he was going through the settings. He closed it and it never opened again. Just black screen.

Same here.I was able to run once, and thats it.We shoud send log cat or something to devs...

I didn't try it yet but...
Could work if we'll trick the program to think that it's on another device? I mean changing the identity of O3D, as it happens in the Xperia 3D rom by Meemo if I'm not in error. With that ROM the update program and Google Play were seeing my phone as a SE Xperia not as LG O3D!
I'll be peeing against the wind but it worth a shot to try.
So we have to edit build.prop?We need to find the line where device name is i gues...
Will try this...

Looking at my build.prop I see the lines:
ro.product.model=LG-P920
ro.product.brand=lge
ro.product.manufacturer=LGE
Anyway you should see first a build.prop file of a device that you know it works
And pay attention to what you modify because you can brick it, get a boot loop or something like that.
And you should ask advice from a developer... they are all good guys and I think that would help you gladly.
Again I might be peeing against the wind - but you never know.
I did a full backup and then edit build.prop to NEXUS S.With no luck, i got the same error.Will try with different edit in build.prop... Thx for you help.:thumbup:

Thanks.But one stupid question: what version have you tried? I guess the Neon version because ours doesn't have Tegra.But one I've tried Tegra designed games and some of them worked.See my early threads.I'll try also but I'm not so brave with coding or something like that

Both versions.None of them working.But one thing that I've noticed is that if you go to kill application and clear cache you'll see that this one, the cache is about 45 Mb which is a lot and therefore freezes the phone.Could this be a problem?Cache file too big?I think that in the end it needs bigger RAM, like 1 Gb.

You can use a tweak to overcome your problem.
DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
As you have your phone rooted, go to /system/build.prop and edit it with a text editor (You can use Root Manager for this process) and add this line at the bottom of the page
"ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1" (without quotes)
After adding this line carefully reboot your phone and clear memory with your phone's task manager and you can observe a much of ram left.
CAUTION: DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG WITH YOUR PHONE.

If you have fast sdcard or internal card you can SWAP. search it. it's basically partitioning your sdcard to be a part of the RAM

If there is a shortage of ram, I don't think locking the launcher in memory will help.

But what i think is that with this tweak all the unwanted background apps get cleared off leaving a wide range of ram to use.

I tried that but it didnt work... i thought the root might have been taken away by some app so i tried rerooting it but it got stuck on Starting ADB Server, then i thought, maybe i can unroot it, so i downloaded a root uninstaller but it needed root access which it cant verify

RAM-expander allows you to make extra ram available, as a swapfile on your sd card.
You need a fast card for this, but the dev has a utility you can run first to check compatibility.
Also look at auto memory killer, which is not a task killer rather it manages the minfrees, so your can keep as much memory free as possible

My suggestion is that you read up on this. You hardly even know what you're asking for.
Before you root any device you should at least know something about it. Just root it won't make it any better without modding, tweaking etc.
You can end up with a brick.
Rooting won't make it faster. Rooting is like unlocking a door to a control room - it doesn't change anything unless you know how to use the controls.
Look in here or Google for how to root your device if you're sure it's the right choice. You can brick it an thereby make it infinitely slower if you're not careful. You will need to do more than just installing some apps that require you to have already rooted for them to work.
Unless you can install CWM (and look into TWRP before doing that) from a usb connects without root, you're not going to be helped by that at all. It won't make your tablet faster, anyway. Look up what it is before trying to install it or anything else.

Ok guys thanks for waking me up out of this bad dream! lol
Well you know i take ur advice, read something about it and then decide.
Is there even a good solution to make it a bit faster?
Cause when i play real racing 3 some tracks lags a bit , while with others
it wont.

R: NEED HELP WITH ROOT please read thanks!
Root is a good idea to make your tablet faster. If you want to overclock cpu or gpu or manage services or pretty much do anything to your phone (which can go from normal system cache cleaning to flashing a different, lighter and faster, version of android to your tablet).
So, yes, if you want to make your tablet really faster (a noticeable change) it would be smart to root it...but you gotta search the web understand what you are gonna do how you are gonna do it also if it works most of the times or its a complete fails. Search the web! U will find out all the risks and advantages to modding your android.
If your want to root it look for it on google, youtube, or here (it's surely already been posted somewhere).
Just use these keywords for your search
'Your tablet name/model' 'android version' root.
Before overclokking or whatsoever, know that exceeding your limits (especially if your device is not high end) can lead you to break your tablet completely. too much modding can lead to fast battery drainage, overheating and possibly meltdown of hardware components
So be careful what you do!

Do you know how to enter recovery mode on your tab?
If you do you can try to download a generic-root-signed.zip
No name tablets usually don't have a private key for files so it might work to root it that way. Otherwise you can try Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry.
There are many ways to try...

Useless use of RAM

Sorry if theres already a similar topic but i'm mad that we have 811mb of RAM but 710mb are almost always being used. Just after rebooting the device some 40-50 apps/processes are already running and they start back even after clicking to clean memory.. What to do about that?
