Anyone experienced any problems with rooting the Droid Razr M? Sorry, but polls like this are not allowed (see the below blurb about fact-based answers). When it comes to rooting, there's always some risk. |

Can data be recovered from crashed sd card? This isn't really an Android question, and you seem to already know that you should try recovery software. Just try it! (But do not format the drive or do anything else to it -- you don't want to overwrite your data.) |

apps(tasks) restarting even after killing them @imz--IvanZakharyaschev I'm not worried about the notifications for myself, but it's a side note at best. It's not appropriate to add this everywhere the app is mentioned regardless of context. |

What is Dalvik cache? @badp Yep, my first boots were often that long with various ROMs. I wouldn't give it too too long before assuming something's wrong though. |

Data Network mode doesn't get activated on gingerbread 2.3.4 I fixed it, but -1 because I'm pretty sure this won't work -- you don't know what carrier the OP has or if these entries even exist. |

Is there a way to temporarily unload a 1GB file from my Samsung Galaxy S3? There are hundreds of ways to upload files, I don't think this is an appropriate place to list them an really isn't an Android question unless you have a specific problem with an app or something. |

App with tail Command? @studgeek That app needs root, and some BusyBox utilities might need root (situationally), but tail does not require root to access apart from if you want to use it on protected files. As liori mentions you can just stick the version of tail compiled for Android somewhere accessible and run it. |

How to rebuild or refresh slow Motorola Defy The easiest thing would be to simply do a factory reset if he was happy with how it used to run. If that doesn't work it's probably a hardware issue. |

What's the best way to restart Android via command line (remotely)? Not sure broadcasting`ACTION_SHUTDOWN` will do what you want either: "Apps will not normally need to handle this, since the foreground activity will be paused as well." Sounds like most apps therefore won't handle it. Is pausing the activity sufficient? |

AutoMount ext2 SD-card on Huawei U8350 (Android 2.2.2) As for the problem at hand: Is it necessary to run do this in an init script? Tasker or something may be able to simply do this immediately after the system boots. |

AutoMount ext2 SD-card on Huawei U8350 (Android 2.2.2) I think this is perfectly on-topic. I've done nonsense like this all the time (although nothing than can specifically help you here I don't think). Writing a script might be somewhat development related but the concern is an end-user one. In any case, I've cleaned up the comments here a little. |

Vsync in Ice Cream Sandwich You use both "implement" and "enable" here; which is it? Development questions are off-topic here (see the FAQ), so it matters :P |

Restore specific items using Titanium Backup without root? @Izzy ADB should have access to /data/data without rooting; that's how Carbon works. As for the read-only bit I was apparently thinking of the system partition? :P |

Formatting Android storage “zero out” technique A magnetic hard drive has to be written over several times, best with random data. Flash memory can simply be zeroed once. |

Was Firefox ever the default browser for Android? Chrome also uses WebKit. |
