Google Splash Screen.

Ok, we've seen things picking up for the NS4g and as development continues, I haven't seen this brought up. I love the Google slash screen on boot. It looks like heaven, but upon root a little lock appeared at the bottom, ruining my heaven with a opened gate. Anybody have some input on how to hide it? Give me a rough idea and ill try to make something flashable. Just a little inexperienced to just jump in.

it is possible. i did it to mine just to test it out, therefore relocking the bootloader. via fastboot, type in the command "fastboot oem lock"...
Yeah well next time you need to access the bootloader and you have to unlock it it's going to wipe your entire storage and device.

Pure Android ROM without root

Hi,
I'm looking for a ROM that is as close to the Nexus ROMs as possible, also without root access.
Basically imo touchwiz sucks, but all the replacement ROMs i find seem to come with root access. As I want to use certain apps that won't work when the phone is rooted, these aren't suitable for me!
Is there anything available that fits my needs?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Er flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604366 and uninstall the SU app?
That's the sort of thing I'm looking for, but the apps I'm looking to use can still seem to detect root even after the such app and binaries are uninstalled :S

I think that in Cyanogenmod 9 you can choose if you want root access or not. On my Xperia arc running cm9, it's under settings -> Developer Options -> Root access. I hope this helps.

This is the only ROM that matches what you're actually after and was the first true AOSP ICS ROM for the S2. It is a little outdated but will give you the stock experience and ran fine when I first used it.
[ROM][GT-I9100][4.0.4] koud AOSP (v.21.04.12)
Alternatively flash any AOSP ROM and then flash the Siyah kernel and extweaks from Play store as IIRC there's an option to remove root in the app so you can use apps that don't like root.

I have an S2 and a Nexus - prefer the Nexus now...sorry S2 people... but Nexus with JB 4.1.1 is just better.
Anyway.. sure you have the pure Nexus set up, with no root and run Barclays PingIT etc with a Nexus, but you still cant if you root it an any way and it is a hard thing to resist considering the GNex is so easy to root, to back up everything completely in case any thing goes wrong etc and to remove the few remaining google bloatwares like google+, book store app and things.
All i want now is a way to remove root from a system you have tided and improved without losing any of your improved settings and not adding anything stock back to the phone and simply leaving it just how you want it., cant be done it seems.

Anything new?

Hey guys, just thought I should check in. Seems like this forum is beginning to die. Has anyone got any new things that they would like me to test on my continuum?
Yes, I will have somethings to beta hopefully releasing mid next week, this weekend is my last week of work. So I'm freeing up my weekends again to get back to deving more...

Also thought I should share my nifty sms app I have been using.
It's called ninja sms and I got it for 1$ at the play store and I love it. Should check it out of you text quite a bit and don't want to continuously change between apps. It allows the sms to come up on the screen. Kind of like multi boxing on the s3
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
My lcuid 2 has that ability where the text will pop up and allow me to respond, delete or view without leaving the app. It is a super awesome feature.
Yeah I wish my dna had it stock but ninja sms is good for me.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
Does ninja have a character count? My pop-up has a character limit, if I go into the native messaging app I can type as much as I want and it will break it into multiple messages, the pop up only allows for a single message response. I haven't decided if I like that or not. I guess it really depends on I can use that to tweet.
When I text I can send more than 120 characters and on my screen it only sends as one message. You could try it out and always refund if you don't like it.

Yeah just took a look at it and sent a large message and it sent as one huge message and didn't split into different messages. You can view a text that is more than 160 characters as long as it was sent as one big message. I don't believe it has a limit. As far as I can tell it doesn't split it up.

So I really like the way ubuntu looks. Since my dna is locked and I have no access to unlock or root the phone via software method all I can do is jtag, however I'm not going to do that so I can't flash anything. Since I love the way ubuntu looks I decided to theme my phone after it using a launcher and a ton of custom widgets. Here is what I came up with.

You can try sd maid which has a system cleaner. Or change the files permissions if you are worried about it transmitting data. But I wouldn't mess with it too much until you figure out what it is.

You guys could wipe your sdcard with twrp if you are worried, but back up all your wanted sdcard data to a computer first. And then put it back on right after. I do that with my Nexus 7 sometime. Not sure if it is the same process on Nex4. It may not be necessary, not sure.
