‘Android Bot Maker’ released to Play Store, allows rooted users to make repetitive tasks easy

Android_Bot_Maker

XDA Senior Member frapeti has developed an application called ‘Android Bot Maker’ which is an automation tool for your Android device which essentially turns it into a bot, making repetitive tasks easy. The program features a numerically ordered “Actions” list of all the automated actions that the user has programmed the device to carry out. Sequences can be rearranged, saved, imported, cleared, and shared onto various cloud social networks connected to the service. There is also a toggle feature to prevent the device from sleeping while the application is in use.

The program is still in its beta phase so there may be some bugs, but developer frapeti has encouraged users to offer suggestions and reports in the application thread via the source. Of course your device will have to be rooted and running at least Android 4.1 to run the application— check out the source for the application thread on the XDA Developers site. Hit the break for the app’s Play Store link.

Boot animation changer now available with nearly 400 custom boot animations

Boot_Animation_XDA_Developers

Good news for those of you that are tired of your generic boot animations on your Android devices— a forum member on XDA Developers, Vincent8111, has compiled about 400 custom boot animations into a single program for your convenience.

The BootAnimation Changer runs on Windows and stores an extensive collection of boot animations, sorted by name or file size, and varies from the opening sequence of the Simpsons, to anime, to colorful abstract patterns, to an obvious favorite, the Android mascot. One pretty cool feature is that the program has the ability to change the resolution of the animation to fit different screens. The proportions of the animation are kept while in the act of re-sizing. This makes everything pretty simple and straightforward for the user.

A bit of a warning though— the program comes in at a hefty 1.6GB— those with limited broadband may want to stay away from the 400 animations included in the software. (Not to mention it will take up a pretty big chunk of your internal storage as well.) The file is free and comes in both English and French. As always, if you don’t have a lot of experience with flashing files to your Android and using custom recovery, we wouldn’t recommend messing around with your boot animations. It might not be for everyone, but it’s nice to know that there are alternative options out there to the default boot animations.

Samsung Galaxy S4 sees first complete firmware leak

Galaxy S4

Firmware version I9500ZCUAMDG comes complete with all Odin files

With every big phone release comes a software leak just ahead of launch day. Today, it's the Samsung Galaxy S4's turn to show us the software. AdamLange of XDA Developers has been kind enough to post the first leaked version of Galaxy S4 firmware, in its complete form.

Samsung users that have installed custom firmware on their devices before are already familiar with Odin, a Windows application that allows firmware to be flashed on Samsung phones via USB. This Galaxy S4 leak comes complete with all the Odin files, namely the CSC, PDA and modem. This particular software is intended for the Chinese market; as time goes on and more leaks are obtained, they will be posted in AdamLange's thread.

Flashing stock firmware via Odin is a sure bet for getting Samsung phones back to factory condition and fixing any problems that may arise from installing custom firmware. Those that like to root and flash ROMs and kernels on their phones should definitely have a stock Odin package ready to go — just in case. Keep an eye on the forums for the latest how-to guides and lists of flashable goodies, as them become available.

AT&T HTC One Bootloader Unlocked via HTC Dev, Rooted, CWM Recovery Installed

htc-one-att-root

For those of you who like to hack and crack your phones, there is good news! Members of the XDA Developers forums have reported a successful Bootloader unlock on the AT&T version of the HTC One. According to sources, the same methods used on the International version to root and install ClockWorkMod will also work on the US version.

There were concerns initially that by the time the One officially launched AT&T would have disabled the standard HTC bootloader unlocking tool, but thankfully this was not the case. As is the case with most Bootloader unlock procedures, you can expect your One to be completely wiped to the factory settings, so back up any and all personal files you hold near and dear. Additional items you may miss following the unlock procedure include:

  • Flashlight
  • Ringtone Trimmer
  • Sound Recorder

All of which can be replaced by third-party apps on the Google Play Store if need be. Be advices, if you are attached to those handy, but not always timely OTA updates, you are going to have to learn to live without them because your One will no longer pass the required file integrity checks necessary to receive them.

If you are a true tweaker, you are probably sneering at the fact that you will lose these basic apps and have probably never relied on an OTA update in your life anyway…so go forth and happy hacking!

A WORD OF CAUTION! TalkAndroid can not be held accountable for any damage this unlocker might do to your device.  Please err on the side of caution on this one and if you don’t think you are tech savvy enough to do it yourself, go grab the geek down the street to help you out.

Samsung Galaxy S 4 isn’t even out yet, but it’s been rooted

We might have spent a few hours toying with Samsung’s new mobile hardware, but tinkerers over at XDA-Developers have had enough time to root the Galaxy S 4, already. This means those (very) early adopters can start perusing the inner workings as soon as it arrives on store shelves. There’s a video of the process after the break and you can pick up all the necessary files (and warnings of not to meddle with what you do not understand) at the source. There is one tiny caveat to the news, however, as the rooting magic is focused squarely on the Exynos 5 Octa model for now. According to SAM Mobile, several batches of the new Galaxy phone are rumored to be packing Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 600 instead of Samsung’s homemade chip series. An official spokesperson from the UK branch has confirmed that it’ll arrive in the there with the Snapdragon processor.

The Galaxy S4 Exynos 5 Version Gets Rooted

T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4 release date

The Galaxy S4 is not even out yet, and developers have already went to work on it. Some XDA developers have successfully rooted the Galaxy S4, but only the international Exynos 5 version. Does not shock me that that version receives root first, and I am sure the other versions will get to their roots once developers have more time with them. The ROM that they have conjured up, comes packaged with ROOT&Busybox and flashable via Odin. So if you plan on getting the Exynos 5 version of the S4, head over to the XDA link below and bookmark the page so you can get to rooting right away.

T-Mobile’s 4G LTE can be accessed with Nexus 4 under right circumstances

nexus_4_lte_results

With T-Mobile officially launching their 4G LTE network in seven cities throughout the U.S., their customers may be wondering exactly how to access the new bandwidth. Owners of Samsung Galaxy Note II devices can do so thanks to an update that T-Mobile just pushed out to the devices. Another group that may be able to do so are owners of the LG Nexus 4 if they have done some work. Achieving this feat with a T-Mobile Nexus 4 requires rooting and installing a custom ROM, then flashing the radio back to the previous .33 version.

According to users over on the XDA Developers forums, those who have installed the CM or AOKP ROMs seem to be having the most success, though other ROM should work. Users also have to revert their radio to the older .33 version that was present on the devices before the Android 4.2.2 update was pushed out. The 4.2.2 version of Jelly Bean included an update to the radio to .48, which removed the ability to connect to the LTE network. In addition to the custom ROM and flashed radio, users also have to update their APN settings.

If you are a T-Mobile Nexus 4 owner running a custom ROM in one of the new markets, you may want to hit the source link to start reading through the posts on how to make this happen.

HTC Droid DNA gets an early taste of Sense 5 thanks to beta ROM

HTC Droid DNA gets an early taste of Sense 5 thanks to beta ROM

While plenty of Android users prefer the vanilla OS experience, manufacturer-created skins persist, like HTC’s updated Sense 5 UI debuting on the latest One flagship. HTC’s Droid DNA will almost certainly receive this new version in the future — the handset maker has confirmed it’s coming to the Butterfly, a DNA variant — but if you’re partial to flashing, you can get your fingers on it right now. XDA Developers member newtoroot clearly isn’t lacking the expertise their handle suggests, and has taken to the site’s forum to offer a beta build of Sense 5 for the DNA. Bear in mind it’s a beta, but everything is said to working bar MMS and the new Zoe camera mode. If you’ve got the hardware, know your way around a ROM and are up for toying with HTC’s latest skin, head to the source link for the file and thread.

Sony Xperia Z rooted before it reaches most buyers

Sony Xperia Z rooted before it reaches most buyers

We’d say that this is living life on the edge, but that would assume there was an edge to live on. Doomlord at the XDA-Developers forums has rooted the Sony Xperia Z before the device is even available to most of the buying public. His trick was to modify the code of a Nexus 4 root and rely on Teamviewer to remotely test on a real-world device. Others have since chimed in to show that the root isn’t a one-time exception, although the hack remains the definition of a risky maneuver when it’s both very fresh and lacks a recovery tool. Early (and soon-to-be) Xperia Z owners still eager to throw caution to the wind can try Doomlord’s code at the source.
