I' ve got a question about rooting, i rooted my android device (GTS-5300/ samsung galaxy pocket) but I dont really know what to do with it, I installed 1 app, which you need root for, I deleted some apps I never use, and there are a very few MOD's for this device. What can I do else?
Thanks

Install a custom rom, play with ur device's ui by learning to mod system apks, get full control of ur device, bla bla bla.
It's upto u how u can use...
Simply, now the device is completely urs.. Go on play with it
Hit thanks rather than typing it
Remove bloatware, custom Rom and recoveries, and the list goes on.

hi my friend have Samsung galaxy y recently rooted only rooted no custom Rom he uses stock Roms now he gets so much hangs so he decided factory reset it. i want to know is it safe or he will brick it?? please help we both are noobs
Sent from my GT-S5360 using XDA App
With the information provided i think it is unlikely that you will brick the device by factory reseting it.
thanks.. here someone said me that never factory reset a rooted phone running on custom Rom.. so i little afraid but mine friends one is still on custom Rom so is it safe right?
Sent from my GT-S5360 using XDA App
Maybe if the custom rom was using somekind of partition , but generally i would say reseting a custom rom won't brick a device.
Reseting a custom rom does not restore the factory rom, but reset the custom rom to its install state.
Its virtually im possible to really BRICK (a real BRICK is something that needs a JTAG device in order to get it working again) a device by reseting it, the worst case scenario is that you have to reflash the rom.
but i have stock Rom so what happened if i factory reset? what i will get after reset a rooted phone or unrooted phone? please help

The device should still remain rooted since the su binary was placed in the system area which factory resetting does not affect (you will just have to re-install the Superuser app). See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17348395&postcount=2.

Theoreticly yes, but the SuperUser app is there to prevent that.
thanks if any malware crashes my system than what should i do? factory reset or anything else?
Sent from my GT-S5360 using XDA App
Safest would be to flash new ROM / same ROM again.
thanks if i factory reset does it automatically flash ROM Also? please don't angry i.m just a little curious and want to learn something better from a master like you!

You could say so, but you have control over what gets root access and what doesn't. Apps can only use root access if you allow it (you have to grant it Superuser permission).
can someone answer my last question?

No, you can not root an infuse without a computer..

There's no known way of rooting without a pc.
You are asking for something that no one has been able to accomplish in almost 2 years the infuse has been out to the public.

What really allows changing your bootanimation is the kernel. you need root or a pc to flash a custom kernel..

Why some apps are not even visible in My phone's Play store which are visible in other phone with same OS.
Like I have installed smoothie ICS V.1 and my friend has normal ICS.
What makes them invisible? What is the solution?
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda app-developers app
It depends on your phone. Some of the apps are not compatible with your phone so Google Play wont show them.
But I was using YouTube Gtalk and other apps previously on my phone but as and when I flashed Smoothies ICS on my phone they vanished.. Smoothies ICS has gapps with the package. But I am not able to see several apps like gtalk and YouTube. Tapatalk
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda app-developers app
it may be that the gapps package you downloaded was missing some gapps
try installing these ones
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1796675
if that didn't work it may be the fact your rom doesn't support these apps

Done that.. but I have Gtalk icon but it is not working.. anyway thanks for your prompt reply bro.. should I flash another ROM I want features.. apps.. I hardly use my phone for gaming.. is invador ICS RC 5 is good? Please suggest some nice rom for me.. thanks again.

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...
