[root] Triangle Away v2.45
Requirements: 4.0 and up
Overview: Many Samsung devices store a flash counter that keeps track of how many times you have flashed *custom* firmwares to your device. On some devices, a yellow triangle or other sort of visual warning is also displayed during boot if you are running a *custom* firmware. TriangleAway was built do disable the triangle (if a visual warning is present) and reset the custom ROM flash counter to 0. This app requires root !
The latest Samsung devices store "system modified ?" flags next to the "flash counter" and "current binary official ?" that Triangle Away traditionally resets.
It actually has this "system modified ?" flag twice. Once in the bootloader, once in Android itself. When resetting the flash counter, Triangle Away does attempt to reset the one stored in the bootloader (that you can see from Download mode), and disable it from being updated. However, whether or not this works is completely dependent on your device model and firmware version.
The flag in Android itself can be seen under Settings --> About Device --> Status --> Device Status. This one also affects whether or not the firmware will allow you to download and flash OTA updates, and may affect DRM apps (please confirm whether this is the case or not).
Version 2.45 of Triangle Away introduces a "system modified workaround" option that tries to counter this second flag in Android. This option is dependent on a fair number of factors:
- You must be running a stock Samsung ROM
- The SysScope package must be intact (if you removed it, it will likely not work)
- You must be using SuperSU as your root rights management app (Superuser is not supported)
- You must be using either the Play version of Triangle Away or have SuperSU Pro installed
A side-effect of this workaround is that root will be disabled for about five minutes after boot (yeah...). During that time, Triangle Away will display a notification. All your apps that launch at boot and do something that requires root will not be able to gain root access during this time. A well-coded root app should not care about this much, but unfortunately not all apps are coded that defensively, and app crashes may occur. When root access is restored, Triangle Away will re-launch the apps that are set to launch at boot and have been granted access in SuperSU, so these root apps may still initialize themselves properly.

** Various related models are supported depending on firmware, but only the exact model numbers listed are supported regardless of firmware version.
Whether or not Triangle Away works depends largely on your kernel. Flashing a different kernel may make it work if it previously didn't.
Please also note that some devices set the counter to 1 at every boot if you are running a custom kernel or recovery. On these devices, Triangle Away may always display 1 - make sure to check the counter in actual download mode.
