[Q] Got a replacement Apollo topic

I just recieved a replacement Unit for my malfunktioning HDX 9.8. Current version on this thing is 14.3.0.2_user_302075320. I have just started it up to check the version and have not yet registered it or even connected it to a network. This time around I would like to be in control of things! What would be the appropriate thing to do with this version, if I want to :

1. Root it and keep it from auto-updating.
2. getting it safestrapped to be able to...
3. ...flash custom roms safely in the future,

Ive been looking around these forums to find out myself but information is scrambled and depending on version numbers and other things. The learning curve sure is steep here :)

[REQUEST]Request for Apollo player topic

I have accidentally uninstalled Yu music player can somebody provide it from their Rom.
Thanks in Adv

fix can't find music files in apollo player from external SD card in cynogen mod ROM. topic

What the problem was:
I have X-plor app installed which by default provide access to root folders
on your device. As a result your phone must be showing 3 partitions which is root partition
sdcard0 (internal memory first partation) Phone memory sdcard1 ( internal memory which
provide storage to application) this is the only location from where you can see you music listed in Apollo. Your SD card as extcard0 which is why you can't detect your music as this is listed as removable device as a result it won't read your music files.

This is what solved my problem:
I went to X-plor configuration from where it says ROOT ACCESS choose DISABLED
this will hide the root partition and now just clear your media storage cache from all application in settings. now reboot your phone and install SDfixtools and open and scan now. This will make all your music list in Apollo and other music players.

hope this helps press thanks if it helps
