I am really happy to share my new project with you and contribute to this great forum. I have been developing this project for a half of a year and I have finished about one month ago. I am proud to announce you that I have finished Android Toolkit.
Android Toolkit is an app for Android device managment and modification. It has a built in ADB Tools, Fastboot Tools and custom recovery flasher and much more. There is also support for Remote ADB control. There is also Android ADB Backup/Restore tool and Root Exploit (only installs Superuser.apk in system). Currently, there are only 3 devices for recovery flashing and TWRP flashing is still in development.
A whole project was developed using C# and WPF technology. You need to have installed .Net Framework 4.5 to run this app.

Nice job Slovencek
great, just another root toolkit to help newbs not learn a single thing about their devices.
Yeah...good job!
But I agree....before using toolkits, new guys should learn everything manually. Its quite easy when you know what you're doing. And you have more control over everything.
I will test it buddy, u did a great job. Keep it up

New version coming
Thank you guys for feedback. I am developing new faster, and more powerful version of Android Toolkit. New features include real time command view, in the other words you will be able to see what is happening with your device in real time. Also, more devices are getting suported.
wait, you're only 14 and building applications in WPF like that? Nicely done. Looks good (I'm not at home and don't have time to try it out right now, but it looks good).
Great job dude. Keep it up. Always nice for people to have s simple and easy option.
Thanks!

?? I agree it allows people to not have to learn.. but the people who dont want to learn anyways arent going to we cant change that. He deserves a lot of credit for this.
With all the toolkits for my history of phones i never just used the kit and not bother to actually understand anything.. im sure a lot of people are the same way. Kits are great after you've learned how to do things like adb push and flash recoveries, etc ,etc..they save time plus!!! this looks really nice!!!

save time? it takes seconds to unlock your bootloader and flash a custom recovery via fastboot(the right way) and not via a toolkit.

Nice job man, don't pay attention to the negativity. This will be a good addition to your portfolio when applying for a school or job. You have a great career in software development ahead of you. I definitely was not writing stuff like this when I was your age. Keep it up!

credit for what? making something that there are a bunch of available already? or credit for making it easier to be clueless about what you are actually doing to your device? the only root toolkit that ill ever give credit to is the toolkit that goes through all the steps, and teaches you what you are actually doing to your device per step, and how to fix it if you mess something up. but it doesnt exist yet.
anyways, this isnt really about the op, its about root toolkits in general. kudos to the op for being able to make it nevertheless.

In reality...those that don't want to learn and use toolkits, are usually the ones posting " my phone is bricked" threads.
Not knowing how this stuff works is a bad idea. Unless you have money to burn on new phones.

i think you missed my "kudos to the op for being able to make it nevertheless". if i waa tired of helping people fix their phones, i wouldnt be here. besides for trinity kernel, the only reason im here is to help people. obviously you arent here to help other people, youre here to help yourself(which you have asked for help from other people before). anyways, adb isnt needed. you can greatly enjoy modding your devices(the right way) and never learn adb. heck, i dont know adb(ok, very basically). i dont even own a computer, desktop nor laptop. what IS needed to know is just fastboot. everything else besides initially unlocking the bootloader and first recovery flash doesn't need any kind of computer access, can be done without a computer.

I propose a ban
I propose banning people who post threads like these. Are you serious? Dude, if you don't know how to mod your phone perhaps you should read through the forum and figure it out, and if you have a specific question, then feel free to ask it. Don't just say I don't know how to do it. You obviously are too lazy to figure it out by doing some basic reading.
i searched but i dont know where will i start
Let me guess, you searched one time and gave up? Well, I did one search too: I searched the word "iphone" in thread titles and displayed the results with the most views first: TA DA!!!
First link - "iphone App for WM - LookALike"
EDIT: Link was dead, updated it.
That's a silly suggestion...

We all have a right to opinions even if we disagree. Banning for this sort of thing is silly.
However, I agree they need to do homework and figure out what path they really would like to take before the step off the curb. This one is stepping right into an oncomming bus.
@jayopa86
Welcome to XDA-Dev
Just for guidance:
1
Given you are fairly new to this sort of thing, you will be better served if you post in the Kaiser Forum. (Not Kaiser Upgrading which is largely about ROM Flashing and the more advanced development stuff.)
2
Marm0lade above has given you a page of links (See link in his post) I hope you see how easy it was for him to search and get that page of iphone threads.
3.
Soon we are going to have a new Forum for Members who are Beginners, this will be a good place to post this kind of question.
I am going to move this thread to the regular Kaiser forum.
I may also close the thread in the next day or so, because the answers are there if you care to hunt around. However, if anyone wants to give you helpful, constructive advice about how to go about finding suitable information they can do so in the next few hours.

Most of that doesnt look like an iPhone to me. And I really dont want the main screen of the iPhone, but the way he navigates through all of the menu's and stuff is nice. Is that done through the cube?

Well, to check out Cube info see here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Cube
Mike
for somewhat the same menu interface or some other shell than wm has to offer you can use spb shell 2 (google xda for it)
it gives a nice cube/touch interface wich can be customized also there are alot of programs out there that enhance your phone like camera album,long endkey,big startmeu,s2u2,fff,touch commander and many more i suggest start reading the forum and use the wiki/google search this forum for answers good luck...

The hardest bit will be making a new case, and interfacing a new wide screen, then virtualising Apple OS to run under Windows, it would run like a dog.

are u nuts!!! how wud u like if the table turns on u. i myn thats jus like kids fighting over a lollipop!!
i actually like what is in that video. i know what some of the apps are, like the cube which i have had, but some of the other stuff i havent even seen. that is one good rom if thats what it is. giving a few pointers to a newbie is not going to kill you ;-)
I concur, That video is one I haven't seen before. I noticed the HTC Cube on there. but before he pulled that up he had another screen he was flipping in the same manner. What the heck program is that?
My phones all modded up and such. But that proggy makes me jealous.
i know, ive been searching for the last 40 mins trying to find those applications, im no noob at installing or searching, but theres so much to go through can anyone tell me what progs have been added inc the ones from the today menu. any halp appreciated, all i want to knwo is the names. TIA

Well, if you must know I have been using that user name, (and variations thereof) all over the internet for almost 20 years now. I used to drive an ambulance before I opened my own business. That's where it came from. Still, there is a lot to be learned from reading the stickies & the Wiki. I've seen the following link posted many times, and I feel its far more blunt than what I linked to... http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php At least I showed you that there is hope by reading the information available. Trust me, it could have been much worse. You can easily get flamed here if you ask without reading the Wiki first.

This is the internal alpha of our team's last effort, first of all its an alpha build, so dont expect it to be a day to day use rom, theres a lot of bugs/issues so many its useless to post them here lol, main issues that pretty much halted the project were these two:
1.Phone Service crashing on wcdma bands.
2.Htc lockscreen call gets delayed by 5min or more.
No one on the team manage to fix these two and so everything just went to a stop cause of this, sorry if people got disappointed but we all tried our best,with these been said please follow this rules after downloading the internal alpha:
1.Do not report bugs
2.Do not make post like "its laggy omfg" "my raindeer dint come for xmas cause of this ****ty rom!!" "dad grounded me cause of downloading romporn" "oh mah gawd bugxor rom no work bull**** ahhhh!" really we dont care at this point.
3.Dont flame us because we dint deliver a working rom...
Anyways download it try it, and if you feel like you can fix it then please do so, thats why we decided to release it, so that maybe someone out there can fix it, supposedly theres another team porting sense to the SGS devices, personally i haven't seen it, also if theres indeed one there assholes, for never contacting us or sharing ideas with us, i mean dont we all want the same thing?? but hey maybe they grabbed one of our alpha builds, and work't of that, idk and at this point i dont care, so anyways enjoy the rom.
Working stuff:
1.wifi
2.bluetooth(sort off..)
3.audio
4.sdcards
5.GPS(device goes nuts, dont ask why)
6.Charging
7.Hardware/soft keys
8.Restarting the device from power of menu.
Not working:
1.camera
2.phone service
3.HTC usb menu (can be fixed with a script made by dexter, and smali to some jar's)
4.Turning of the device
5.HTC's hibernate mode
6.Lockscreen( pressing power to bring the phone from standby will not get a lockscreen after like 5min, plug the device to usb cable and it should bring the lockscreen up)
7.Other things i might have forgotten.
Credits, in no specific order!
Whosdaman, for bringing everyone together.
Dexter_NLB, for fixing almost all the hardware on the rom(awesome job bro)
kaik_343, for fixing/helping me on the captivate port( appreciate all your help bro)
Barakinflorida, without hes initial work non of this would have happen, so major thanks to him and his outstanding work.
Mssmision, advising me and kaik regarding the port( again thx for all your help bro)
Jamezelle, for also giving us advised regarding the port.
My self, for working on the captivate port lol(awkward)
All the other team members that one way or the other made the port be were its is now.
MOD's please delete the other thread, it has a pre-alpha useless build, this one is the latest alpha we had for GSM models.
Video thnx to glukosio

I can try to help to get some of the main problems ironed out, all of my roms are Sense builds so that's all I know anyways. Just got a Vibrant yesterday let me know if I can help. By the way, have you guys tested a stock Desire build? They are quite a bit lighter than the new Sense and seem to have less problems.

You can mod your phone in no time with less hassle and you can start making great themes for everyone. And you don't need to wait for anyone to do the job for you.
Let's bring competition to table. There are many brilliant Roms out there (Cyanogen,Miui,...) but not all devices can have the same theme or mod since their device is not supported. I'm sure many of you guys have different taste, ideas, and can improve the look of your Rom. Let's theme our Android Roms ourselves and give our Developers a break
It is not easy to find all the tutorials in one place and not spending hours in XDA website to learn something. I myself have learned a lot from XDA, other Devs and using try and error method.
These tutorials would be super easy even for someone who had never done theming before. If I find time I will include images too.
Tutorials will teach u how to theme almost every App you have (ADW, LauncherPro, Go Launcher,...). There are other guides out there and u r welcome to use them but what makes mine different is that details and tricks will be covered. Tutorials should be fast and easy. I myself got tired of reading long confusing tutorials and still came up with questions.
So bring your skills on the table and post your themes in XDA website.
I will update tutorials and add new ones every week. I won't post them in the thread to avoid long pages and keep the thread clean. I will always include sample files with tutorials so you can learn theming with an example. How cool is that!
You can apply these techniques in any rom. My sample files are for CM7 just to give you an idea where the files are located and how to apply them.
I won't provide direct downloading cause I run out of bandwidth quickly and you can save tutorials on your phone and read them wherever you want
Help me to find mistakes and improve tutorials and I will include video tutorials for the revised, improved written tutorials later.
Theming part I is a quick tutorial to apply changes to "framework" and some "system apk" (Phone.apk, SystemUI.apk, ...).
Support the thread and I will add more tutorials. Please don't forget the "Thanks Button"

coolness will take a look on part I. I myself am starting on an android theme for cm7. I really can't wait and I have a concept lined up for it. So it would be nice for a tutorial since I am just starting and I know there are a lot out there but it sounds like you know the android modding "game" and your theme is awesome :3
So pretty please finish this thanks =)
Thanks for helping all the noobs out there , i myself learnt to theme android through doing it myself and a bit of reading the guides *points at impaler* , your tutorial seems good too hehe.
although one thing that bugs me is the many colours and font you used in the OP, i duno why LOL.

My pleasure! I also learned things the hard way First part might look like a draft ( took me 2.5 hours) but it will be improved gradually. I just started this tutorials so I won't claim the best tutorials yet lol but I'm going to make it happen
People might get bored reading my long OP so I changed colors to make it easier to read. Trust me it was extra work for me but I thought it might help lol

You are very welcome I had the same challenges the first time I was trying to make sense of this process. Couple of first tutorials will be mostly general to give people enough time to setup everything. If you guys follow the thread, I will point to specific names of the images you need to know for theming purposes.
It's good to have a map!

Another reason to NOT use root toolkits.. http://www.symantec.com/connect/fr/blogs/malware-uses-google-go-language
Malware Uses Google Go Language
Designed in 2007 and introduced in late 2009, the Go programming language developed by Google has been gaining momentum the past three years. It is now being used to develop malware. Recently seen in the wild, Trojan.Encriyoko is a new threat associated with components which are written in Go. The Trojan attempts to encrypt various file formats on compromised computers, rendering the encrypted files unusable.
The original sample we acquired, a file named GalaxyNxRoot.exe, is actually a dropper written in .NET which disguises itself as a rooting tool to trick users into installing it.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Figure 1. GalaxyNxRoot.exe properties
Once executed, the GalaxyNxRoot.exe file drops and launches two executable files, both written in Go:
%Temp%PPSAP.exe
%Temp%adbtool.exe
The dropped PPSAP.exe file is an information-stealing Trojan. It collects system information such as current running processes, user name, MAC address, etc., and posts it to the following remote location:
[http://]golang.iwebs.ws/about/step1.php
The dropped adbtool.exe file downloads an encrypted file from the following remote location:
[http://]sourceslang.iwebs.ws/downs/zdx.tgz
This file is decrypted as a Dynamic-link library (DLL) file and then loaded. It attempts to encrypt various file formats on the compromised computer. The targeted file formats include:
Source code files (.c, .cpp, .cs, .php, .java, .pas, .vb, .frm, .bas, .go, .asp, .aspx, .jsp, .pl, .py, .rb)
Image files (.jpg, .png, .psd)
Audio files (.wav, .wma, .amr, .awb)
Archive files (.rar, .zip, .iso, .gz, .7z)
Document files (file extensions containing the following strings: doc, xls, ppt, mdb, pdf)
Other types of files (file extensions containing the following strings: dw, dx, sh, pic, 111, win, wvw, drw, grp, rpl, mce, mcg, pag)
Figure 2. Targeted file formats
The file paths are confirmed by the Trojan in order to avoid encrypting files under certain paths, such as %Windir%, %ProgramFiles%, %UserProfile%\Local Settings, and others.
The encryption uses the Blowfish algorithm. It either reads the encryption key from D:\nepia.dud or randomly generates one. The names of all of the encrypted files are then saved to the following location:
%Temp%\vxsur.bin
Restoration of the encrypted files will be difficult, if not impossible.
Symantec detects all these files: GalaxyNxRoot.exe as Trojan.Dropper, PPSAP.exe as Infostealer, adbtool.exe as Downloader, and zdx.dll as Trojan.Encriyoko.

Every time I see a one click tool for nexus devices, a part of me dies
I only used it to go back to stock as that is a little bit more complex than unlocking and rooting.

I used a rootkit at first, only because I didn't realize how easy it was to get a custom recovery onto my device. Now that I know how easy it is... no more rootkit. Ever.
Thanks to pointing out.
Was new to the Nexus devices and unfortunately used a rookit as well (now I know more how to use fast boot etc).
No more rootkits for sure
But how exactly can I check if the rootkit is infected?

You can probably upload it to VirusTotal and give it a check over if you want to be absolutely sure
I'm not sure I understand the point the OP is trying to make. Don't use a root toolkit because it could really be malware in disguise?
Unfortunately that's silly advise, because you can make that argument for pretty much any software. I work in IT support and almost daily I see computers infected with viruses because the user click on what they thought was a legitimate anti-virus warning. However I'm not warning people to never install anti-virus software in case it is really malware.
Root toolkits are just like any piece of software you download from the Internet. It's all about getting it from a trusted and reputable source. Anything could be infected with malware if you get it from the wrong place.

Actually, the point he is trying to make is this is a nexus device. It's DESIGNED for developers. You can easily root it with a few simple commands. The real service Simms is trying to provide is to get people to understand how adb works, how fastboot works. This does two things. 1. Gets users to understand the device a bit more, which benefits everyone, and 2. The more comfortable the users are with adb and fastboot, and the more they know about the basic android os, the better feedback they can provide to the developers. (For most of us, logs and last kernel messages are very easy. Just remember it's not the case for everyone.)
But, people like to do it the lazy way. Simms is just saying it's dangerous. While a necessary evil on some devices, a nexus isn't one of them. (Not to say what you said isn't true. I work in IT myself, I know firsthand how easy it is to get viruses. But on a device where all you have to do is reboot into booloader, type fastboot oem unlock, and bamn no hacking needed, why take the chance?)

I don't personally know Mark Skippen (aka mskip), the developer of Nexus 7 Toolkit and also the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit (and probably other things). But I've used his root toolkits for quite a while, as have many, many other people. Zero complaints.
When I use his toolkit to root, I don't feel like I'm taking a chance of being infected with malware.
I can root myself, I have. But I use the toolkit because it is a nice time saver.
I learned basics of how to use SDK, fastboot, adb on day 1 of my maguro watching YouTube vids a while back.. :what:So easy and at least you learn something and not use someone's work around, makes sense to me... If I'm gonna do something I might as well learn it the right way, try and gain a lil knowledge into this deal.. On other devices I use Odin.. No need for toolkits really, Odin and Fastboot are simple enough. I'm a slow learner to this stuff & I have enough down to where I can do what I must when necessary.. :sly:
Rasbeanjelly/Trinity 111
I just used a Root ToolKit, it's pretty nice, downloads things you need (e.g. stock images) without having to search the web for it. I had to return my device to stock. I do know all the fastboot and ADB commands but I prefer these because I don't have to sit on the PC typing each command for bootloader, recovery, system ,etc.. I can just press enter, grab a bite or something and come back, finished. the automated driver installer is also very nice because I've had issues with my PC not being able to find the correct adb/fastboot driver.
I have no problem with them, but users shouldn't just randomly download from the internet, It's just common sense, some users don't have any. I understand if you want to look like a 1337 pr0 h4xx0r, typing each command into a terminal though. It's just something we grow out of-
This stuff always fails virus checks. Big whoop. Make sure you get it from the main sources and live happy.

I've always hated the idea of one click root, I always said if you're going to do this you should have at least a basic working knowledge of what's going on. Because of these we get a lot of people on the forums who are completely clueless messing with the inner workings of their devices. If you do something to your phone and have no idea how to undo it you get what you deserve.
Just like my other threads, this one is about the Google Nexus 4 and Root-A-Lot. From what some people have told me this thing has been a hit or miss, but it's rooted and s-off'd a lot of users devices, phone and tablet.
I am not the creator of this one click, but I was told it could be shared freely, as it also describes in the .ZIP contents.
I did not personally try this out myself (My One X is already rooted + S-OFF) so be sure to check it out and read all the documents before trying out this new root exploit.

It did finally pick up my One X after about 10 mins (more like 2), but like I said I'm already rooted. It looks like it supplies a good amount of phones, and with the 3 different methods for rooting, especially the third, hopefully we will see some good results!
I'm not responsible for harm that comes from this file, I have ran and tested it out to SOME EXTENT. Please be aware of this, and like I said, READ THE DOCUMENTATION.
It states it can:
Root Android 2.x
Root Android 3.x
Root Android 4.x
Rooting Phones and Tablets
Supplies S-OFF as well (80% Chance)
So, like I said, try it out and let me know if it works!
link removed ..
Why? S-off is technically for HTC only.. Yes?.. Why would we need to unlock our NAND, assuming this can, when there aren't any limitations. Also I'm not sure if the NAND is truly locked like on HTC, as this is my first non HTC phone. And as for Root it isn't that necessary is it? It I thought there was a way to root already through flashing recovery and not unlocking boot loader. Unless secure boot removes the root without unlocked bootloader.
I Downloaded it just to see what it was, and avg yelled at me. Not saying its a virus, but I also have no need for it.

No need for it anyway as unlocking the bootloader and rooting is a piece of cake on this phone.

One out of 34 Virus Scanners identified it as a "injector" variant to me. I'll leave it for the users to decide, if a Mod wants it gone so be it, I don't see the harm though, I ran it myself and noticed no difference in anything.
A lot of these type of apps are flagged by Anti-Virus, there's nothing new there
What I can't understand is why you've come in a Nexus/LG device forum with a "one click root" and S-OFF solution? S-OFF has absolutely nothing to do with the Nexus 4.
The manufacturer of this phone has provided an app called "Fastboot" which allows you to unlock the bootloader and to flash the recovery partition. It's a feature. Source.Android.com walks you through, step-by-step the incredibly simple, secure process of how to do it.
The Nexus phones released us from downloading suspicious EXE's that do God-knows-what from people off of forums, yet here we still are. It's really unbelievable.
I'd be interested in more information about this "root-a-lot" exploit. I've never heard of it, and a quick search on Google doesn't pull anything up.
As for the other two (ZergRush and PSNeuter), those holes were patched a long time ago, and they haven't worked on Android since version 4.0.1.
Somebody, sniff the traffic going through the application for suspicious trojan-like connections. Nexus devices are exclusively made for developers, with everything provided to securely unlock and do whatever you want with the device.
Do not even try to install this app without understanding the risks. Topic must be removed, author - banned.

That's a point, when i realised something here is wrong
I searched root a lot, and this dude posted it in every forum essentially. It does not work, its a fake program. It was made in VB.net or C#, it claims to s-off phones like the HTC one, he didn't make it, there is no source to track it back to an author, it claims to s-off the HTC One X, when the only method is the one made by beaups and jcase. The list goes on.
Bottom line - it is a fake program and possibly a virus. Thread needs to be closed, as it has in almost every other XDA forum.
If you ran this program, I suggest scanning with anti-virus/malware scanners,
http://www.malwarebytes.org/
http://www.safer-networking.org/
http://www.superantispyware.com/
it may not be a virus, but it is a fake program, and virustotal picked up 2 possible threats. They may be false positives. But you should NEVER take a chance unless you know for 100000% it is in fact a false positive

Yeah I posted it for popular phones it SHOULD work with. If you're going to hate on me for simply SHARING something I thought would do good, and apparently does NO BAD then I do apologize and I'll remove it. 2/34 Virus scanners pick it up as what looks like to me, personally, to be false positives. If I was going to try to infect people with someone, I wouldn't use my main account, I've donated more then "fake programs" while I've been here, including a lot of damn time on sometimes what ends up to be nothing.
So if you want to warn people about to program, please do, but don't involve me like I'm doing something intentionally to harm people. I ran it myself, I tried it, my phone was already rooted. It just hung on me for awhile. I could of posted it in every forum, but I didn't.

Exactly. The dual core one x just recently got s-off, but about 8 were bricked for the effort. I dissected the zip and the files/method to s-off the dual core one x don't exist. Also, the dual core one x could only be rooted through 2 very particular exploits. One was checking for an OTA and the other was through restoring a backup app of the dialer i believe and doing some other things
