Currently I am running CM11, I have an unlocked boot loader running CM11. It would seem that an unlocked boot loader is non-existent now from what I have read. What should I run now? I prefer performance over anything considering it only has about 750mb ram. Please refer me to another post if I missed something but it seems like everything is for safestrap now and that is ok if it has a performance boost possibility.
On a side note, has anyone used the sd card as a swap partition? is that something that works as far as performance?

I followed 42turkeys' excellent How To Root and everything seemed to work as it should. I then used the ROM and root updates from andrewb84uk and they went on OK with no apparent problems. Andrewb84uk has since seemed to lose faith in his own ROMs, although other users, like me, are happy with what he's done. My phone seemed to be working fine, I can boot into recovery mode, and I really like some of the new features on 2.1.
So, my question is this; how can I tell that the root worked OK? I never really investigated the OS too much when it was running 1.5, so I'm not sure I'd spot too many of the subtle differences. Also, it is an updated OS, so any change I see may simply be an update rather than the result of root.
Does simply the fact that I can boot in recovery mode confirm that root is successful?
Go to the android market and type in Screenshot in search...
Download the app and see if it works...
If it does your rooted!
It it doesn't your not rooted!
See below...
It works! Many thanks...

If you search in Androlib there's 27 pages of rooted stuff:

As some of you probably know thanks to the crap way in which htcdev unlocks your bootloader and with no s-off for the One X, in order to flash custom ROMs/Kernels the boot.img must be flashed outside of recovery in fastboot.
I've been doing this with my laptop but when I can be away and on the move for extended periods I could really be doing without keeping my laptop on me for doing this process everytime my ROM gets updated.
Therefore I was wondering if there was any way in which my Nexus 7 could be utlized to perform the command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
I've a feeling I'm thinking waaay too far out the box on this one but thought I'd ask anyway.
Hmmm... interesting idea... I think the only option, truly contained within those two devices, would be if you could get Ubuntu running on the N7.
Good luck,
Billy

I'm planning to flash the Qualcomm specific patches to my device, which requires unlocked bootloader.
So without going through all the trouble, I want to make sure if my device's bootloader is already unlocked or not.
Is there any easy way to check my bootloader status?
I'm running stock unrooted KitKat 4.4.2

Turn off your phone and turn it on again. At the Google boot logo, if you see an unlocked lock icon at the bottom of the screen, then your bootloader is UNLOCKED.
Something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The above post is definitely the easiest way, but this app takes it a step further and tells whether it's ever been unlocked or not, as well as its current state

My girlfriends note three just gave her a low memory notification over the weekend. To my surprise storage is showing 29 gigs of the factory 32 tied up in "system memory". I can't seem to figure out what is taking up so damn much space. The phone is running hyper drive Version 7. I'm sure I'm leaving out some kind of important information so just ask. Thanks.

My guess that this has something to do with the ROM Slots in safestrap? Boot into recovery - is this rom on the stock slot? I always install to the stock slot so I have all memory available to me unlike installing to the other slots.

Didn't even think of that. I bet that's what the problem is. I'm pretty sure I left the stock slot alone. Thanks. I'll check it out.
I have currently
OUDhs CWM Touch Req0very v1.0.3.4
And the below screenshot shows my kernel and etc.
I was wanting to upgrade my S4 to iB4STiD's Kangapop. Has anyone else tried it and still has all the stock functionality? The gestures, simple things, look at text message from person X... put to ear and it dials them? IR Blaster?
If its fine to flash, my other question is do I need to update my CWM version? or is there another recovery that is better and safe to update to? What about the kernel I use and the baseband version?
Any help is much appreciated!
