Well Evilfuel99 I have no idea what slimpatch is , so I can not answer that question(Will try to find out answer though). The Touchdown Exchange app is not on the rom ,but of course you can get it from market.

Congratulation you are now on the latest GingerReal

I reflashed just to make sure, and I'm getting the same issue. Yes, both are installed (JDU has a nice feature to tell you to install the first if you forgot to anyway). I double checked the install path, and it's in the right place. Nothing looks out of place in my lib files.
And, in fact, it does work - The icon appears as running in balanced mode, but I can't change it ( I like to run in aggressive) because when you click on the icon in the notification window, it spits out the "Application not found" error...
Its too fast to grab a screen shot to show you...

Could Not Root Xperia L (C2104) 4.2.2,help!!

I read all the methods posted here but it dint work out....i tried:
1.)DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v17_perf-event-exploit
2.)Xperia_L_ROOT
3.)motochopper
all the exploits failed.....so i cant even backup my TA,it says your device is not properly rooted....
today i learned all the terms related to flashing and flashed my phone using flashtool with stock rom "C2104_15.3.A.0.26_India.ftf"....its working fine...
can i flash a custom rom without rooting and with locked bootloader in similar manner as i flashed stock rom..??
without rooting i cant flash CWM recovery,right..???
without CWM recovery i cant install custom rom,right..??
custom roms are already rooted(i read in forums) so can i flash a custom rom using flashtool (but my device is neither rooted nor unlocked)....??
Phone:
Xperia L C2104
Android version 4.2.2
Build number 15.3.A.0.26
You will need to root to install a custom Rom. (we currently have just one lol) and for cwm you'll need an unlocked bootloader. Idk about locked bootloaders, I think levered had a thread idk. Oh and as for rooting, check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302700

Actually..
when the fw update rolled out I installed it..
..later wat I did was download the stock rom(15.a.0.2.17) from the forum itself and flashed it using flashtool..
Then I used motochopper..backed up my ta..n then went down wid full root..
downgrade isnt possible directly..
---------- Post added at 07:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:19 PM ----------
And no I dnt think any exploit works currently directly on 4.2.2
I didnt want to void warranty..so I went with keeping the bootloader intact and backup ta..
incase phn got damaged later on..
U can straight away unlock the bootloader and then use motochopper and root ur phn..but then backing up ta wont make sense!coz u need to backup ta before bl unlocking,only then u ll get a locked bootloader if u restore it!

u can wait for sumtime...if u dnt wanna follow this long process..

what else i cud do...????
really its very confusing.....when i read the advantages of rooting it says we can flash a custom rom that has not been officially released for our phones....like we have 4.2.2 n if smone creates a custom rom based on 4.4 for our phone we must be able to flash it right...??
but the clean n tweaked rom says in its instruction flash ur fone wid 4.2.2 stock rom then root then flash custom rom n again root....why its so..??
i rooted 4.1.2 then i must be able to flash that....cuz u already know the problem is 4.2.2 is not getting rooted....
i must keep 4.1.2 till someone tells me how to flash CWM n flash a custom rom on 4.1.2 or someone tells me how to root 4.2.2......

To enter CWM, unlock bootloader is required..
CnT v4.and up have the method to flash the rom for Lock Bootloader but its based on latest firmware (4.2.2)
but its required root 4.2.2 stock or custom for the script to work.

sorry for being late to reply.....
so if i unlock my bootloader using flashtool then i can install CWM........
which rom will i be able to flash then...??? i mean CnT based on 4.2.2 or CnT based on 4.1.2....??
and plzz someone help me to install linux on android.......the method i found reboots my device everytime i open the terminal.....
Yes, but please read carefully about unlocking bootloader, some devices got bootloop after unlocking...
so be prepared with ftf file for flashing via flashtool..than you can have CWM by flashing custom kernel...again make sure you know which kernel support your firmware version..
For CnT version 3(4.1.2) comes with zip file but for latest ver(4.2.2). its comes with script installer that don't required CWM method..

Are you stupid?
You can't see in forums that Vroot is malware and all threads from xda regarding Vroot were deleted and that's why we use another safe method for rooting.

US update file for us rooted users

Did anyone save the update file for those of us who are rooted? Root / TWRP tripped it so I cannot download whatever 115MB update is out there.
I was rooted, no twrp. Update via kies was successful, but unrooted device.
If you can tell me where to look for update file I'll see what I can do.
Did the update via kies keep all data intact like an OTA? I can always put a stock recovery back on it and use kies, never thought about it.

Yes all was the same after the update except for losing root. I forgot to try survival mode in Super su before the update.

It seems that I could re-root with the CF Auto root file I used last time. Root Checker basic claims I'm un-rooted but I can use titanium backup and root explorer (to rename a system file) without issue.
Can someone rooted, but not updated try root checker basic from joeykim and see if it is simply a kk issue? Just curious.

I had survival mode enabled, it didn't work. Lost root and tried to re-root and it failed. I had to flash stock image to get the tablet to boot up again.

I'm not familiar with that function but I'll play with it and see what happens.
In addition to loosing root I also lost write access to the external SD card. I had to re-run the SD Fix app to restore that ability as well.
You will lose root when you update, However flash the root in odin again AND reinstall SuperSU and you will have root again. I'm updated and I have root with no problems at all.

What changes in the update have you noticed?
Does re-rooting with wugfresh's Nexus tool still work after update?

1. MAJOR Stability improvement. (Noted update on whitesheet)
2. Images load faster. (Noted update on whitesheet)
Other than these two things, I haven't noticed anything else as of yet.

My Note is already very stable - could you give an example or 2 of how yours became more stable after the update?
I'm just wondering if I want to go through the process of re-rooting, no matter how simple.
