Hi.
I come with a question that many might have approchated this forums with before but since the most recent,actually useful topic i could find goes back to 2015 i thought i could ask;
I have a motorola e6i with Android 10 GO edition which of course has been striped of the LWP to save resources.
Would rooting my phone and dumping the right app in system help me get that functionality?.
i think it's a shame that i'd have to root the thing just for that but at this point im willing since im otherwise happy with my phone.
if so how would i approach doing that and where can i get the apps and things needed.
I tried to root it as well, but couldnt unlock bootloader.

Hello all,
I have an Defy Mini XT321 and this is pissin me off..
Many useless(for me) native apps installed, no way to uninstall, no way to move to SD.... with a 300mb rom memory... so sad
OKay then... All i know it cant be "rooted" yet...
But... What exactly we(Defy mini users) are waiting?
1- Motorola releases some code so it can be rooted, 2- or some bad ass programmer discover how to root it?
Cuz in case 1, i can start to became worried, in case Motorola never releases this "code"...
Thank you!

Not sure if there is a root method yet, but I think this post might help you with your memory woes
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31657836&postcount=221
Also, I think you might have better luck finding answers to your questions here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=852
That's the specific forum for the Motorola Defy (there doesn't seem to be one for the Defy Mini)
If there is a root method, you'll probably find it in the Motorola Defy: Android Development subforum (take the second link I posted, then click Android Development)
And root methods can come about from either one of the things you mentioned. It's just whatever comes first. And bear in mind that Motorola is owned by Google now, and so that might change their openness to letting users gain root. (though carriers will probably still be against it)
Good luck!
Hello, Ron here.
I have a Cricket Galaxy S4 (i337z)
I am wanting to upgrade to a new OS (right?) other than the one that came with my Cricket phone. (4.4.2 kit kat ?)
I would like to see what Lolipop is like and if possible with out rooting.
I saw some threads about just that but it was for AT&T.
Since AT&T and Cricket are the same now (I think) would that be the same.
I also am not sure what would be better operating system than the 4.4.2 that is OEM on my phone.
I don't know if I want to root or keep it stock.
All I have read just gets me more confused .
From what I have seen the difference between kitkat and lolipop is like Windows 7 and Windows 8 and I absolutely hate Windows 8 . (worst os ever)
Which threads show in depth with step by step by step ( yes I am totally phone IT challenged) how to do this and what are the risks in doing so.
What are the bells and whistles available that are worth it for the upgrade.
Please use layman's terms and no acronyms because I probably would not understand what you are trying to tell my newbie brain.
I am really wanting to learn how to do this stuff and I figure you guys are the ones to point me in the right direction.
Thank you so much for your time and efforts on my behalf.
Ron
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. The best place to find answers is in your device's specific forum here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att Although it's not specific to the 1337z there are users of that device here.

Good luck!
Thread closed.
To start with I wish to say a few things to be as clear as possible:
I have been visiting here for a couple of years already, but never registered because frankly - I was intimidated. I am not a dev, or a coder - I am merely a guy who enjoys tinkering a bit - and I have discovered how much fun cheap Android devices can be.
Lately a chain store has an Alcatel One Touch Pixi Pulsar A460G (TCL) from tracfone for a mere $5.
It has a nice 4" screen, Android 4.4.2 and better specs than my LG L34C - so I got it.
Searched extensively and the closest info I found was here at this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/root-alcatel-one-touch-pixi-34-official-t3193624
It seemed to root with Kingo Root - but only temporarily and its Superuser doesn't work very well at all.
Even tried the method here - but it starts & never completes:
http://androidxda.com/replace-kinguser-with-supersu
I really want to root this phone and would be happy even if I must use the app to re-install V4.3 from here:
http://alcatelonetouch.com/global-e...bile-upgrade-s-4-3-0-setup-20150126103150.rar
Also, there is a great bit of info posted here with a de-bloated stock ROM & recovery - but how can I flash it if it will not fully root and/or SU does not work ??
It seems most likely this phone has its bootloader locked by tracfone, and that maybe it is what stops it from rooting - but I do not know enough to be sure.
Any pointers to good help will be hugely appreciated.
Thanks.

Did as suggested.
I have owned a ZTE Axon Pro for about 5 months now and no root has come out for it. I'm very upset with the software updates that ZTE is pushing for my device and would like to be able to flash a custom ROM but no root is out for the device as of now. I have a fair amount of experience with Linux and programming and would be interested in undertaking the root myself, but also don't want to brick my phone on the first try. I also have no idea where to even get started and was hoping for some pointers. It'd be great to bring value to my beautiful phone and others that have the same phone.

I recently bought a Moto X Pure from an XDA Member which should be here at the beginning of next week.
I used to own a GS5 which as you know is pretty locked down. Locked bootloader, hard to root, if you updated you're screwed, ect. So! I've been out of the rooting game for a while now and only really dipped my toes in to begin with.
My question is, can anyone explain the basics and benefits of a rooted device? Specifically, Xposed Framework/Modules, Root detection with Android Pay, and maybe some things that i've gotta try out with a fully unlocked android device. I plan to install an AOSP ROM but im gonna try out stock Moto X first and see how i like it.
Another short question I have regarding Android Pay, i've heard that some root techniques make Android Pay not work, some are fine, some custom ROMs wont work, AOSP roms will, can somebody clarify all this for me?
Thanks guys, you're always helpful. Glad to be back.
