Yep. As long as your app data is still there.

Hello,
I downloaded a VLC to my Kobo Vox and still cannot play wma files. I have tried converting the wma files to mp3 however they are protected. Is there a way to play these files on my Vox? |

I think you would have to strip the drm from them first...I don't believe you will find anything that plays protected wma on android.

No but you can google for tools that claim to do this.

Thanks. I found a few programs that claim to remove the DRM. Hopefully one of them will work

Yeah, VLC will play wma files but DRM files will always be an issue.

Pls forgive a newbie question (this is my 1st post); I followed Jefftheworld's advice on rooting my Kobo Vox, and then tried to follow the instructions on removing apps. I downloaded and installed ConnectBot and BusyBox (in that order); everything seemed to work as intended. However, when I now run ConnectBot and select 'local' (from a pulldown), I get the display:
Connecting to null:22 via local failure: Local shell is unavailable on this phone Any ideas? ... thanks |

That being said, unless you are a masochist, I would suggest using es file explorer in root mode to rename/delete apps. Much easier than typing in the horrible connectbot window. |

Pros and cons to rooting my device?
Your instructions are clear and easy to follow but with all due respect, (and as a complete and utter noob) I'm just wondering how rooting the device makes it better. Does it improve functionality and if so, how?

Well, for example if you want android market access and don't want to resort to adb, you need to root. And that's just one example.

Another is that it gives you access to remove the bloater apps it comes with that you don't want/use that take up space that could otherwise be used for apps you do use.
