Note that these apps were intended for use with specific built in hardware for the ThinkPad. I originally ported these to the Flyer because it utilizes the same pen technology. I can't guarantee that they will work as well but I've been told that there is a stylus you can buy for your device (I don't own a Transformer) that works much better than just using your finger. So give me some feedback and let me know what you guys think!
This is an app ported over from the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet. It's used for note taking and has handwriting recognition and palm rejection. I find it pretty useful for taking notes for my classes. I made it into a flashable zip instead of requiring the use of ADB.
Thanks to:
vlara for the install with no build.prop edits

This app is another one I pulled from the Lenovo Thinkpad. It's called FlexT9 Keyboard. It acts a normal keyboard along with something similar to swype. There's another option that allows you to write in the space provided and it translates your writing to text. This can be used anywhere that you can use the keyboard. Personally, I have a hard time getting it to recognize the words I write but maybe you guys will have better luck
A quick pointer: go to the help section in the settings to really learn how to use it.

These have only been confirmed working on Revolver ROM, let me know if it works on others please.
Language Packs for Notes Mobile:http://dev-host.org/mp34hwoons0j/notesmobile-languages.zip
Sorry for the big download but it would be a pain to upload each individual apk.
To install the language packs either push to /system/app with ADB or install using a file explorer. Then go to settings and choose your language.
Original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426975
Reserved just in case
I don't like the flex 9 keyboard at all.
Also, when i rebooted from flashing the zip, I was greeted by a force close notification every 5 secconds of my original Keyboard (The revolver one not the stock keyboard)
I do like the note app, i just feel like I have to learn to use it.
Now I can't remove the Flex keyboard. (i tried uninstall but only gave me option to uninstall updates)
Going to try titanium to see if i can uninstall that way. If not.. looks like a full wipe and reflash of revolver's rom for me.
update:
Was able to unsinstall through titanium, although it required a reboot due to infinite force close loop.
Still not able to use the revolver stock keyboard. Have to resort to using the stock ASUS one.
To anyone who would like to flash this.. I recommend removing the flex9 APK from the .zip first.
This didn't happen with people who tested it, sorry about that. Can anyone else confirm that issue ? If so I will remove flexT9 or make a separate zip for it

This happened to me too. Had to download form PC and transfer to TF
I can confirm that it works fine. I was directed to your post in the flyer section about 5 days ago and it worked by just pushing the lib and apk files

OK, don't try NotesMobile on Krakd 1.5.2, it completely borks the system somehow. after copying to system, setting permissions, and rebooting, the system process FCs first thing. after removing NM, it's still borked. I'm gonna have to reflash Krakd now.
edit: false alarm, maybe; it seems to be fine after a couple reboots
edit2: system NOT borked, but NM keeps FCing. me = disappointed

Did you flash it or just copy the app to /system/app ? If you just pushed the app that's not enough. You need the lib files also.

Look through the like 20 threads already posted about IMEI!! WAY TO MUCH INFO OUT THERE FOR A POST LIKE THIS!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Look for Synergy_Backup_HWKeys_signed.zip load into SD card, run recovery, run ZIP...voila , backed up. If you lose it, find /synergy in recovery then the zip file to restore it
The synergy one seems to be the easiest. It was supposedly just confirmed to restore a lost IMEI, without the roaming issue too.

What are the real chances to lose an imei??? Does anyone know? 5%,1% or less? My guess is well less than .1% of phones//not flash attempts

might as well do the qpst method just to be safe as well. again, please use the search function.
Of course mine is backed up, but should I back it up again everytime there is a new tool/method?
My point is it must be very rare or there would be a much larger outcry on xda and the net in general.

It's common enough that there are guides and methods about how to solve or counter the problem. XDA is a very small portion of S3 owners. Just depends on how safe you want to be. None of the current methods are guaranteed now even though all are confirmed to work to some extent. Maybe the new fix is all we'll need, but we thought that about QPST too. Time will tell.
I've been searching for several weeks on the best way to do this. The result was simply to be drowned by the deluge of information. Also, now that I'm already running CM10, there doesn't seem to be an easy way to do it. "Use the search" is not an acceptable answer in my case, nor the OP's and frankly, I'm tempted to report anyone who posts those words as spammers.
Download terminal emulator from the market. Type "su" (no quotations), then type "reboot nvbackup" (no quotations). Your phone should reboot and backup two modem files. If you lose your imei, open up terminal emulator again, type "su" (no quotations), then "reboot nvrestore" (no quotations).

Doesn't get any easier than that!
The way I understood it was that there was a path in the reboot code that tried to restore imei from a backup. If "reboot nvbackup" was never run, then the imei would be restored from nothing. Once you run "reboot nvbackup", the backup will be there and you will no longer have an imei problem. Either way, this is great news!

Look we all know what opinions are like. Yes got it we all need help but sometimes you just have to do it. Why not do multiple ways of backing it up so your safe. Yes they should have used the search or ask it it one of the IMIE forms that already exist I'm not straying to flame but come on guy we should report the OP for making this thread and not keeping up with it not the people who reply!

This is correct, the way E explained it is once you run nvbackup then you never have to worry about it!

I've searched everywhere and can't find anything on the sprint SPH-P500.
Does anyone know of any guides out there? I don't want to risk bricking it with a root from another model number. Thanks for all your hard work guys.much appreciated!
Do you have your stock rom? If you do, try rom for GT-5100 but you will not have 4G capability...
And if it don't work, you go in download mode and then restore your old stock rom thank to odin!
I guess everyone has forgotten about our tablet
I've never done anything on the coding side. But if someone could give me some guidance, I'd be willing to attempt to port some of the greatness that all of the other tablets are getting.
Its a great undertaking. I do website development and have linux experience and would rater not touch rom development. I have been interested though.
As far as the gt builds, i can give that a try. I dont have 4g in my area anyways,. Ill just have to become comfortable with odin before i do anything. Thanks!
Has there been any update on this? Looked around and doesn't look like there is even a developer working on it.
I can't even find the stock firmware for the SPH-P500.05 to download. I'm about to see if a sprint store will give me the file so I can start experimenting. If someone has a link to the stock firmware for this device it would be great. Maybe I'll get my hands dirty and make a few attempts and maybe get a guide going.

I understand that CVE-2013-2094 has been ported to work (escalate to r00t) on Android devices. I don't know if this model has "performance events" turned on but, if so, could this be an opportunity to get # on our tablets?
Also, I have a way to kick off processes as system. Could that help us?

I need to subscribe to this thread. Sorry about the delay. I have been playing with the idea of flashing the GT-5100 firmware, but there is no way back to stock if things go bad. I think I'm going to be more proactive and talk with the local Sprint store to see if I can get that firmware / bin from them. The fact that the development community for this device is so dead is a bit eerie.

I can also confirm cydia impactor works and is really as easy as downloading to pc run impactor hit startband it installsnsuper su right to the root of the tablet after that I have been able to successfully install (titanium, busybox, , link2sd, rom manager) and they all have root access
I have also been able to download mobile terminal and at $ prompt put in (su) and # should show letting you know you now have root access
after that I have also been able to change the default storage to ext2 by using. pm set-install-location 2, from # prompt and using link2sd to move apps 2 extsdcard for those of you that have an 8 gigger like I do I hope this helps im still alittle new to android
Any custom roms found for this tablet? I googled and I could only find rooting method but no custom roms (e.g. kitkat) for this tablet. Can the P5100 ones be used instead? I don't need the 4G service.
cydia impactor isnt recognizing the device. usb drivers fully installed and all that... kinda weird
nevermind. it worked!!! now i just need to install recovery and find a darn ROM LoL
I just received my Sprint SPH-500, and wouldn't have known it's a nonstandard Galaxy Tab 2 variant without this thread. I rooted mine with Towelroot, so I still have a locked bootloader, but full root access. AFAIK, my flash counter hasn't been triggered.
Here;s a screen capture of my downloading screen. It shows I haven't done a custom binary download (what triggers the flash counter), and I'm not running a custom binary, as I'm running the Samsung Official binary. But it does show my system status is custom..

I should have progress to report on moving apps to my external sdcard and second partition soon.
After experimenting with Link2SD for more than a week, I gave up on it. It's just too unstable to be a daily driver. I only have the 8 GB model, and run several large data astronomy and birding apps, They left me with 800 MB free RAM on my internal SD storage, and I still had other apps to install.
Link2SD put apks, Dalvik-cache, and lib files on the second partition of my external SDCard, but lost the links a reboot or two later. It claimed to move 1.8 GB of files, but showed 14 GB of RAM used on my second partition. It lost user and system apps that were linked, unlinked, and lost, for instance, the Google Play Store Services.
I ended up using a symlinking app called Foldermount, similar to the old (unsupported) Directory Bind app. It stores data folders on my external SDCard, and symlinks them so my astronomy and birding apps think they're still stored on the internal SDCard. I've got all my apps installed, and still have nearly 3 GB internal SDCard RAM free.
Rooting the LG Optimus L70Welcome, all! So, I'm gonna just get straight to the point. There's a way to root Metro PCS's LG Optimus L70 (MS323).
(This can also work with almost any android phone, by the way)
***I have tested this out on my ms323, it works, and everything's fine even with a reboot***
The only slight concern I have is that it may cause a small speed decrease in your phone (hardly noticeable a few secs after first reboot),
but still works at least!
Now, to make this seem more "real", I'm posting screenshots from my phone. The instructions should overall be the same for other phones.
**Also, the only way for this exploit to work, is if you have a kernel build date prior to June 3rd, 2014. To check, go to settings -> about phone, and check where it says kernel version, and look for the date. My phone just says 3.4.0+, and still worked (should be the same for people using this phone). If you're using any other phone, it should show the date. **
1) Go to your phone's settings -> Security

}
2) Enable Unknown sources (have the box checked.
3) Now, go to your phone's browser, and go to towelroot (dot) com . I may not be able to post links yet :silly:
4) Click the weird-looking red sign in the middle, and a tr.apk should begin downloading.
**If your phone thinks its malware, ignore it. The app uses a system exploit and makes the kernel crash; during this, the system automatically gives root access to any app, regardless of if it should. If you wanna know more, just look up "geohot towel root". **
5) Now, use a file manager to find the apk in your downloads, or (easiest ), drag down the notification bar and click the download.
6) Google will show a warning pop-up that you shouldn't install it, just click the checkbox and install it anyway.
7) Now click "make it ra1n", and you're rooted! Simple as that, no reboot required . *Note that some devices may fail in using this exploit, sorry if you're one of those
*Optional
Download Root checker, and press verify root, congrats if you're rooted!
Thanks for reading, I hope this will help you all!

Right now, I dont believe there are, sorry. I think this is due to thr phone having a secured/encrypted bootloader, and also partly because the phone is relatively new. There aren't many things you can do with it right now other than use root apps.

Optimus L70
I just rooted my LG Optimus L70 with Towelroot and it worked great. I had been trying to find a way to root the phone and all I could find was that it couldn't be rooted due to the boot loader being locked. I found out about Towelroot and its amazing how easy it is. I root a lot of phones for people and this is by far the easiest program to use
I used this , and my root was confirmed. The problem i have is when I use Root File Explorer to delete some stock apk's, they wont delete. The file explorer says that the delete was successful but the apk does not delete?

Problem using towelroot!!
HI,
I Installed towelroot and I installed SUPERUSER SU, But my hotspot stopped working AFTER I was able to use it for 5 months when i got this phone. I have the LG70 MS323, Now when i try to use the hotspot it brings up a metro/ tmobile page that says I need to upgrade my phone to get hotspot? I place a root on the phone so that i can acess the hot spot without being charged by tmobile/metropcs. How can i do this? I still have towellroot but it doesn't work to hide the phone and I no longer can use hotspot without TMOBILE/ METRO BLOCKING IT. I got this phone to hack it and use hotspot with out paying the crazy price they are asking me to pay. Please help. or please advise to how I fix this.
Thanks

Probably not, no. Exploits are used, but there is the problem of Sony's RIC (what if I remember correctly, makes the phone bootloop if any changes are made to the system partition) and dm-verity (this is embedded into the kernel so possibly a kernel exploit would be needed to disable it. Dm-verity also makes the phone not boot if changes are made to the system partition).
Tl;Dr No.

I see...
Well, just giving my 2 cents (I don't work with phones, but have a decent NIX knowledge).
Couldn't it be done like:
1- Find the Android exploit, get a "su/sudo" access to the system.
2- Before rebooting, get a recovery (TWRP/CWM and stuff) written to where it should be.
3- Boot to recovery, install a custom kernel with DM/RIC disabled.
4- Profit? =P

Couldn't it be done like:
1- Find the Android exploit, get a "su/sudo" access to the system.
2- Before rebooting, get a recovery (TWRP/CWM and stuff) written to where it should be.
3- Boot to recovery, install a custom kernel with DM/RIC disabled.
4- Profit? =P

To be able to install a custom kernel you need an unlocked bootloader with Sony phones so number 3 is out of the question. To be able to get root working properly on the Z5 there is probably going to have to be a combination of system and kernel exploits what don't make the phone reboot.
Having a recovery like TWRP or CWM doesn't bypass the kernel limitations? Since the kernel won't be even loaded on this step...
Even more information about the Z5
Hi all,
See link to the [GUIDE] Sony Experia Z5 in post #1.

Hi all. M using E6683 dual sim model.
M facing this issue, whenever I switch off my data and after sometime I want to turn it on from quick toggle, it's not turning on. To fix that I have to switch data to other sim and then back to my sim on which i want to use data. Doing that it's functioning.
I'm using stock firmware, everything intact. Nothing touched.
Can somebody help me?

Hi,
did you try to switch data on again via "settings - data", instead of quick toggle?

I doubt it would work, but even if it did, you still couldn't install a custom kernel (one with dm-verity and Sony RIC disabled) on a locked bootloader. It fails when trying to do it via flashtool, and I'm sure it will cause a soft brick if done so via recovery.

I don't remember that, will give a try. But why it's not working via toggle switch? I have factory reset for now.

Hi, I'd like to know if Z5 screen supports Pen mode ? Z1 did that's why I am asking. Thanks !

Waiting for your experience by using the settings, instead of the quick toggle switch. Noticed a few times that toggle switches did not do the trick, but using the settings worked.

Hi, have a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2652762&page=1 and see if it's also applicable to your Z5. Searched endlessly to find a thread of using a pencil with the Z5, but only this came up or only for the Sony Xperia Ultra Z with a 6.2 inch display, sorry.
kindest regards, kuzibri
Thank you kindly
I just got my z5 yesterday and was hoping someone could answer a few questions?
1 - Is it possible to use the fingerprint scanner but not have the pin on at the same time. i.e. I can either swipe to unlock or use fingerprint scanner?
2 - If 1 isn't possible is it possible to have location/condition based locking so say when I'm at home there is no security but away from home I have to use pin/fingerprint scanner?
3 - Is there a way to have a specific app open when I connect bluetooth headphones? My old LG G4 had smart actions to do this, I'm guesing I could probably just install some 3rd task manager?

1- i don't think so cause maybe the finger scanner didn't recognized ur finger.
2- try smart lock in security settings.
3- try smart connect app included in the phone.
Here's another one : I have a lot of music on my SD card (arround 45GB) and each time I flash a rom, Music app tries to download music information all over again ! So my question is what file/folder/app can I backup once for all using Titanium Backup so I can then restore data after a wipe ?
