I've been wanting to try this for a while now. I found this thread on how to do it. But the poster's links in the instructions don't work anymore. I've tried to contact them by PM and mentioning them in the thread. I checked their profile and the last activity was on the 9th. Just wondering if anyone else has done this and could provide the files and any additional instructions that might be needed?
Thanks
Anyone please? Surely someone has done this... not on a 900A mind you l but it looks to be the same?

anyone?
I hate that AT&T disabled that feature,
This would be so much easier if the person who posted the instructions in the thread I linked were around... Still no activity from them At least we'd have an answer...

Alright, so I am trying to figure out how to run Android on my HTC Touch Pro for Sprint. I have been to so many sites that either aren't for my phone or give me a broken link. I have been on PPCgeeks and xda for days looking for a solution but have yet to find one.
It would be SO much appreciated if someone could send me a working link or tell me what to do. Thanks.
Apologies if you've already seen this thread, but maybe this will help:

I have a themed facebook app, and I want to have the official one to do something since it is a little hard to see things with this theme. The apps are seen to be the same by the phone.
Is there a way I can have both apps installed at the same time? If I renamed the current app would it still work? Or what if I made one a system app?
Come on guys: nobody?
Going to bump this again
I kinda need this answered. Can anyone help?
I think it's time to go looking somewhere else for this. Have you tried the android software general forum? This question isn't specific to the DX. Or you could just TRY it and let us know what happens...

Seeing as I did try it, and said so in the op (how else would I know they are seen as the same app?) I'm not sure where you're going with that. Also, admin or not, posting unhelpful is worse than not posting at all

I thought he was being helpful. If you post this question in the General section for ALL Android apps (again, this is not specific to our phone), there would be a larger group of people viewing the question. And I think when he said to try it, he already knew you tried installing both. But have you tried your own suggestion by renaming or making one a system app?
Not trying to be a smartass, just giving my interpretation on mrkite's post. I hope you find your answer, though!

The system app way still wouldn't work because android would still recognize them as the same app so it would not work

Hey guys just got my s4 this morning and rooted it a little while ago with the motochopper root method... everything went smooth but for some reason I did get the custom unlock icon at boot.. I was going to use triangke away 2.90 but its says in there: counter: 0
Binary: official
Device: i337
That being said I don't want to mess it up worse using triangle away since the app says everything is ok
Thanks in advance for your help

Task helped me out and I try not to post useless questions but I did search through the xda app and google using the term "s4 custom unlocked after root" and some other variations and all I got from both is about the bootloader nothing close to the question I had. I appreciate you trying to keep the forums manageable just putting it out there ive been around the forums a while and know how frustrating it can get. . I also looked at tge post task pointed me to before I posted my question but nobody had answered it yet

That screen means nothing, in fact if everyone has not figured it out yet, IT IS A SAMSUNG BULLSH$$ splash screen. When you flash your first rom, that will be replaced by another splash screen. And everyone has asked the same question, if it were me, I would have went back to the thread were I got the instructions to do whatever, and the fix has been mentioned there, for all new people, if you are in a thread, and try something in that thread, GO BACK THERE, chances are your solution is there. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! I am so bored I can not hold back answering some of these....
I think it might be time to start stickying some of the more popular threads so they are more visible. Threads with How tos, tutorials, Root methods, etc...Of course, this won't solve the problem of people not looking or searching before they ask the same old questions(which is 99% of the time), but it might help in cases like this when the OP attempted a search using the XDA app (which may or may not be very accurate at searches) and still didn't find what they were looking for. However, it is just a suggestion.

no one is pissed off at you..how long was your question there? i have posted and waited for an answer..and believe me..while you are looking around waiting for a reply..you will most likely find your solution before you see your message answered. Look in ALL the S4 threads and you see a solution. just because you have an att, doesn't mean you can't snoop around and absorb some the knowledge...there are alot of good users here...some have been here for years...so my advice would be read what they are talking about.. if you noobs are serious about modding and such..reading would be your best friend.

I know nobody was pissed and I wasnt trying to come off as sarcastic or angry.. ive been rooting and such since my first moto droid on Verizon.. I repair phones on the side .. I knew what the custom icon meant.. what I should have conveyed better was since the triangle away app said everything was ok with phone if I were to use it would I end up with a brick... it just happened to work out that tasks answer to the other members question about what the icon meant or why he would have gotten that icon in the first place and answered mine as well.. well an alternative to what I was going to use triangle away for... I only responded to scott to put out there that I did search via google and the xda app and couldnt find anything exceot info about the locked bootloader and similar posts regarding the s3 and the custom icon.. ive been here a number of years and with a whole array of devices and I know it can be frustrating answering the same question over and over or digging through the same question over and over to find the right answer...
I didnt take as he was pissed... I didnt intend to come back as sounding pissed and I apologize if thats the way it was taken

Seeing how info is all over the place and search is not a friendly thing today. Im new but not dumb. I found out that 5.0.1 is NOT where to be to effectively achieve DE mode & root. Also is this pretty stable from beginning to end with exceptions to KR? I guess really I have questions before jumping into this regardless of ALL the research and data I sift through. So can somebody kindly give me some time to ask these questions its easy to say go search or Google that lol. But we all don't have identical note 4 set ups. I will have to FR and take a chance on something truly not 100%. don't want to be that guy with a brick cause he followed instructions. I know its all at my own risk but its easy to talk about blowing cash on devices when neither is not yours. Js. Any help pls? Last time I had “questions“ on the site I got no help or replies. I have retail note 4, 5.0.1, Gates Jr debloated, I just have questions. The rest is a walk.
I think this should have been posted in the Q&A section of this forum, but you could ask me questions if you'd like. I can't promise I can answer all of them, but I have already successfully converted my phone and run through quite a few issues during the process that I could help with.

Ty. That's pretty much all I needed to know. Im sorry for not properly posting in correct thread. Pls delete. I got what I needed. Again thank you. Mods pls delete.
I read not too long ago that the LG G6 H873 was rootable via an app that was developed, but the guy in charge got scared of the legality of the whole thing, and shut-down development. The post I read had a link to the app in question, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. If it's not too much trouble, would anyone mind sharing the link to the post, or the link of the app itself? Also, is there anyone working on achieving a root at the moment? I read a post, but OP seems to have gone dark for about a week now. I'd like to know if there's any hope left at all. Thanks for reading. A response would be greatly appreciated.

I finally found it! As the posts say, it's only temporary, and you must roll back to Android 8, but it's definitely something! I'll post the link to it below. Apparently, it works with the H873, and it runs well. Just follow the guide that one of the people posted. Hopefully, we'll be able to find someone skilled and motivated enough to unlock the bootloader through this. I'm going to respond to a few OPs that are still working on unlocking the bootloader/rooting the device with the link to help them. I wish anybody who tries this the best of luck. I'm going to try it myself soon. Thanks for reading.
