Rooting tweaks

[Axon]

So I've successfully rooted my S3 this morning. I would love to make this thread an official thread to discuss rooting tweaks and other stuff that can only be done with rooted devices. So what do you guys advice me to do next.

Flash a Siyah kernel right now and install ExTweaks. It will give you a truckload of cpu/gpu settings. Also it can conserve battery much more than stock.
I have S2, Stock - recharge about every second day; With flashed kernel - once in a week or so (depends on what you are doing, I usually text and call)

Have you installed custom recovery?
Removed shiloads of bloat?

try editing menu's. Like the notification menu, add stuff to it.

intall a firewall.

use setcpu etc, or what kulver suggested.

try installing some Linux to your phone

Thank you guys for the tips, currently I'm downloading CyanogenMod. However, is there a pentesting tool for android that can work without wifi connection, dsploit is a pain in the ass.

There are tools to dump your own data connection. But what are you trying to do? I don't like dsploit. I use fing network scanner and WiFi inspect. And droidsheep

You don't really need Cyanogenmod for S3 because when you flash Siyah kernel, stock becomes like Cyanogenmod.

I prefer cyanogenmod on S3, no samsung shit and android 4.2.2. It's perfect compared to stock rom.

I'm trying to pentest a network without being connected to it, if that's possible.

ok I just flashed Siyah kernel, and when I reboot I get the Siyah sign. But my phone looks as before, nothing has changed? isn't this supposed to be a completely new firmware

I don't see how that could work? You need access to the network in order to run scans and such, so implicitly you have to be connected to it.

I guess at most you could see access points and eventually break their encryption in order to connect.

ok new update, my s3 is fucked up now and it's not working. I simply downloaded CWM recovery tar file using Odin, and from ROM manager I started CWM recovery. Now all I get is the Samsung Galaxy S3 screen.


Edit:I will try to wipe all the data and start again.

It's not new "firmware", it's the kernel. Phone and OS is still the same as it was before just that now you have a Siyah kernel which gives a truckload of CPU configuration options.

I believe your phone is stuck in a "boot loop". Only think you can do now is wipe everything with CWM and flash a new system.

DONT YOU WIPE ALL DATA. You might fuck up your efs files. Flash CWM with odin, go to fastboot menu (hold volume and home when booting) then boot recover (CWM) do a nandroid. Then flash cyanogenmod. reboot win.

How can I do that if I can't boot the whole system, from the cellphone itself I can only boot the download mode.

Please go to xda-developers before you for goddsake start and flash all random things. If you can't even boot into recovery you are really stupid flashing random things with odin.

FYI, I wasn't flashing random shit just for fun, I searched the internet for tutorials. I simply followed the instructions on how to install things using Odin.
