Hey, here is my problem:
I have a client who owns a restaurant, who wishes to have tablets in his restaurant so his customers can read it as a menu and order using the tablet.
However there is a really big problem, because I need to hide the system bar (Not to be confused) with the status bar, and I would need to do it on the most recent android, which currently happens to be Jelly bean.
I know that ordinarily one would need a rooted device to do this, however the real question is:
If I build android from source, and make an application which removes the system bar and install it as a system application, do I really need root?
I don't think I do because it would be a system app, but I'm not sure...
How to do plan on installing it as a system app, or building Android from source, without root?

You need root to do that?

I have compiled it from source and installed an app to test it out, however fastboot can't detect any devices...
Could it be that fastboot only detects rooted devices?

I can't found the phone encryption on the Security setting after flash with Evervolv Jellybean (4.1). Is there a way to get the feature back on the setting?
BTW, Evervolv Jellybean (4.1) really make me happy with nexus 1. thank you!
While searching that day and trying adding apk file to my Lenovo x86 phone, I accidentally enable the HDMI feature in the system setting. This telling me that, the encrypt phone feature is not shown in the setting, it may be because of the evervolv build is not come with the apk. Anyone can tell me whether my assumption is true? Is it all I need is to install an apk file to turn on the encrypt phone in the setting? If yes, where can I down the apk file?

Like I said I am new at this whole android thing....love it, But I heard it was much more customizable.....cant find a root for At&t One X software 3.18....I've seen posts but are unsure if they work for my software. Without rooting is there a way to customize say the status bar notifications....(without Omega, worst program ever) what are my options for customizing I use nova launcher prime now...but even it only allows so much, is there a root? is there a program that will allow me to customize this phone to fit me?
Any help appreciated

Nope. Root is essential to customizing such things. All I can say is search search and don't forget to SEARCH and follow directions word for word. Good luck friend

Yeah...I don't wanna paperweight this thing and all the root files I find are 2.2 or lower....already bricked a Moto atrix 2...can't afford another incident, wife will kill me....I found one that uses adb but it requires SDK and I don't really know if I trust myself to do that...if someone knows of a root for 3.18 please share

no.
The OTA should be rolling out within a month or so I imagine.. hopefully you won't have to wait too long.
You must not have looked very hard, there is a root exploit for your firmware version.

My index thread found as one of the sticky threads at the top of General (also linked in the top post in Development) has all that you need, and clearly calls out which root method to use for 3.18: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
Read up and understand what you are doing, before attempting anything.
Ok....so I followed the thread and re-read it over and over....found the android sdk method as well downloaded the SDK package with eclipse, still following instructions tried to test adb server and making sure phone was recognized
....and it never does register, I have debugging on....I have open source downloads on, the proper drivers for the phone....I got onexchopper, busybox, and ownage all in the same folder as the adb....when I plug the phone in to the usb post it all reads....HTC SYNC off, I plug in to the frost usb ports, would that matter?

Try different usb cables/ports.
Make sure you have no phone software running at all for an y phone maker.

I see that there are many posts regarding BBM but this one will vary from the others.
I have an HTC Amaze 4G Asian version which has not received the official ICS update. I am running on Gingerbread 2.3.4. As BBM is only available for ICS+ devices, I therefore cannot download it from the Play Store. I know I can root it etc. but I do not want to get into that stuff ( almost bricked my phone in doing so ).
Is there anyway that I can download ICS compatible apps to Gingerbread? Or can anyone somehow convert the ICS BBM app to be somehow compatible with Gingerbread. If not, is it possible to download it with only the root? I don't want to perform S OFF.
BBM is a must have app ( at least for me ) and I really do want it. Please help me and tell me if I could somehow get it while on Gingerbread.
Thanks,
Shahmeer

The app relies on stuff found in 4.X. Simply pushing the app to your data folder won't cut it. Do yourself a favor and upgrade to a recent custom rom. You don't know what you're missing on Gingerbread.

Not all phone can be upgraded to 4.+ even with custom roms and those that do have custom roms usually have so much bugs or non working essential features thats its not ready for daily use. Some of us have no choice but to say with 2.3 if we want a working phone

He is having a phone (galaxy y) which cannot be upgraded to Android 4.x. Neither officially nor by CM. CM is not stable.

I just read on CyanogenMod's website that all CM stock ROM's allow the owner of the phone to control whether root access should be granted to an application. Will OnePlus One allow a general user to install a native C++ application that requires root access without hassle?

The OnePlus One will be delivered in official state not rooted.
If you want install applications with root requierement then you have to root first your device.
Rooting/flashing/modifiing the software is dangerous by nature so if you damage your phone by doing this no one will replace you it for free and not with warranty.
Rooting/flashing/modifiing your device is okay by OnePlus if you asking cause of warranty but when you damage it cause of rooting its not okay for example when you try overclock with a app.
I tried to explain it simple i hope all will understand and agree this.
There is also a thread in OnePlus One forum if you want take this information from the base just use search engine like always

Judging from the OP's original point it sounds like rooting is a simple on/off feature unless I'm misreading. Or will this be another device that we root the same way as we would any other device?

I would think from what I've heard this phone should be as easy to root as a Nexus. It should be basic fastboot oem unlock for the bootloader then you can flash a custom recovery and superuser.
I root my devices, because I usually want to get rid of the unneeded CRAP that comes with most phones.
If OPO or any other mfg delivers a device without the bloat, I doubt I would need to root it.
The main reason I root is for a particular call blocking app that requires root and works on the system level. Main reason.

I need root at least for Titanium Backup as I'm a flashaholic... and always in need of a full backup of all the important apps I install everytime. But from what I read, it will be possible to choose whether to root or not. About bootloader I don't know. I'm also curious what recovery will be installed... Will they build their own version of CWM? And if yes, will we need to build something else?
Hi, I am planning to send back my tab for the recall but i don't feel like updating since that means unrooting, etc. Could someone upload the recall app so I can complete me recall request?

It's built into the settings apk and the framework. It is not a standalone app
