Delete videos and hide your IMEI

I feel I don't know about it.

What's the problem of showing IMEI?

Assuming the phone and videos are yours, showing an IMEI provides an open invitation to have someone clone that IMEI onto another phone.

[Q] Acer Liquid S1

Hi all,
Since there is still no device specific forum for the Acer Liquid S1.
Me and probably many other people who own this budget 5.7" phablet beast consider this phone as a device that certainly deserves his own forum
Until there is a device specific forum I created this thread so every S1 owner can share tips and questions regarding the Acer Liquid S1 (=S510).
I didn't see any request for a device specific forum, so make sure to request it here:

Haven't seen anyone try it yet - but I'd guess it's done through the standard MTK-procedures? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160490
Possibly even motochopper that works for the Liquid E2? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40747604
Hope there will be some dev around this phone too
Agreed and now looking at the details of new Acer Liquid S2 - I feel it definitely deserves it's own section - especially when I compare the specs to the likes of Ultra and Note III a worthy competitor and would like to see some development and discussion on this model.
ps: added a request to create forum - in the new devices section - hope someone does create one and we can see some new development on this
Trying to root it, but this device seems to be well locked. :/

Thats bad news, this is what is holding me off getting it at the moment. I did find a link when searching for a solution that led here :http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=2798984876&uk=2318828147 (it is in chinese).
Don't know if it works though, been searching for confirmation of the device rooted but with no luck though.

Thats a shame.
The main reason I need to root initially, is to be able to transfer my files from existing phone. Does anyone know if Helium would enable this ?
If this works, then I don't mind going for this phone, and as long as I can transfer my data, I can hold out for root until hopefully more developers get on board.
Helium could be enough yes. What files exactly do you need to transfer?
Envoyé depuis mon S510
Mainly my game files, well Subway surfers for definite. My apps I can download again from the play store. Of course some games are now connected via G+ sign in, so they are alright, it is just a shame that this feature isn't compulsory on all apps/games. It would make the transition to a new phone easier.
The camera is just of average
Just bought Acer Liquid S1 a couple of weeks ago. Everything works fine except for the camera. With 8MP camera fitted on it, the quality of the picture is just mediocre. The front camera (2MP) is also disappointing, full of noise when it is used indoors. There's no visible notification when the display is off. Therefore, we need to turn on the display to check whether there's a miscall or incoming email or text message.
Is there any way in which I can have root access for this phablet? I have ODIN software installed in my laptop, and I just need a *.tar file special for this product to root it.

We manage to have root working on the Acer S510 (S1)

Just moved over from Samsung Note to this phone as it's Dual Sim. Brilliant, as I no longer have to carry two phones with me. Works great. and less than half the price of a Note. I miss the stylus, but apparently a dual sim Note may be coming soon!
Hello, is there any root-guide in english available?

Hi that's strange as the app that flashes will check the ROM version and won't flash if your system is not as expected. Did you use the app ?

Application - Story Album

Is there any chance to install Story Album application of S4/ Galaxy Mega to our Note?
I obtained application files by googling, put it to system/app but found not working. Tried also by putting it to app folder in preload and data folders but useless.
Does it require android 4.2.2 ?
Regards,
Yes.. Bro.. We cannot run these apps on android 4.1.2 : Story album, Travel Service & Widget and Flip Magazine.. These apps are pre-installed on Samsung Stock android 4.2.2 or 4.3 .. Actually these apps are deeply integrated with the Framework (framework-res) , Touchwiz (SecLauncher.apk) and Statusbar (systemui.apk).. And if you try to put these apks of S4 or Mega then they are useless becoz the components required in the framework are missing in Android 4.1.2 and we can't even mod these apps becoz we have to make changes in both... app and framework..and here no one is professional Samsung firmware developer.. So wait for this Good news.. that Samsung is releasing out its Android 4.2.2 or 4.3 for Note ..
Thanks for the reply!! May be some developer can port this to android 4.1.2, otherwise we need to wait till Samsung comes with update..

I doubt if this works exactly like the one in S3 or Mega. Pl. the memory - just 1.4 MB (compared to about 40 MB). Also, read the following mail-

It is my business and it should be yours too since you are in a developers' community. Asking for warez is against the rule and being rude is stupid. Please do check the rules and your attitude along with that :victory:
You should understand why it is wrong since your profile says you are apparently a developer. Having your work stolen will hurt won't it? So dont steal theirs

ow well its a little bit of my business and hes right warez is against the rules:
6. Do not post warez.
If a piece of software requires you to pay to use it, then pay for it. We do not accept warez and nor do we permit any member to request, promote or describe ways in which warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained.

[ROOT] i9506 - i9506XXUAMI3 - KingoApp

Just to let you all i9506 users to know. I asked from KingoApp Facebook page if their app work with my i9506 and they confirmed it should.
So I tested they latest app (1.1.15.1792) with my phone and it seems to work.
More information: http://www.kingoapp.com/

I hope this was OK to post in developement cause its so much easier to find this information from i9506 sub forum.

i can also confirm KingoApp root works flawlessly on my s4 i9506, also keeping device status as official, whereas with phils touch cwms or chenglu cwm on device status it says custom. this truly such an easy process
Thanks for sharing this information 1 month ago they told me it isnt supported currently and yes if you only whant root permissions on your device then its the best way thats true.
But for flashing custom roms you will need CWM if you dont want flash custom roms the KingoApp is a good choice man.

Nice to see there is progress regarding root for i9506, but Kingoapp? I've heard rumours regarding spyware and other malicious software installed via Kingoapp. The Sony Z1 threads do have information regarding this matter (at least it was there I read about it). I think XDA have had news posted about this too. vroot and kingoapp ALLEGEDLY steals IMEI and possibly other information from your device when rooted via them.
I want you to show caution with this untill we are proven otherwise. I must add that it's a couple of weeks since I read this, and it might have been fixed or withdrawed. But untill further notice, I will keep away from kingoapp and vroot. But, please do prove me otherwise.
Thanks.

And no major lollipop battery drain
But system ui lag with build prop tricks too
Indian firmware has just ca,e oit i will check that one
The Odex files are located in data/dalvik-cache/arm
