[Atrix 4G Android Development] blunted09:
having some trouble. when i run root.bat it just opens up superuser screen showing what i have allowed already. adb tells me primary key must be unique :(

Also, i tried the method where you force superuser through adb already and nothing worked :(

Any ideas?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
If you're running 1.4.2 then you need to use the other script for that specific firmware, this one wont work. Not sure if you did that or not.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] blunted09:
any chance you could point me in the right direction without sounding lazy lol
[Atrix 4G Android Development] blunted09:
btw, im running an already rooted olyla u4 0.37.4
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
Okay, then you're in the correct thread, just try rebooting and trying again, try running on another pc. Just remember that root.bat goes first, then deodex.bat after.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] blunted09:
thx for the really fast response :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] blunted09:
yea still doesnt do anything. my phone shows the superuser screen of pre approved superuser apps and adb keeps saying "check your phone"...sigh.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] D_one:
Try adb shell then su, does it ask for rights? Do you get a #?

Also, what did you use to root before?

Did you power off your phone after trying the first time?

It shows up as "unknown" under superuser for me.

Update:

Have a new version in the works, creates signed update.zip for CWM, applys mods for both stock and telstra firmware, changed logic to get firmware version and try to apply a deodex to it, rather than just fail if it's not X. Fixed a few bugs in current version, root check in windows was backwards, or not updated on my windows partition so updated archive to be safe, compile issue with installed frameworks under linux, apktool if with a label causes failures. Still working on linux side of things, issues with CR LF and the patch files, or differences in diff/patch on linux vs windows is annoying.

Cheers!

Bumping my own thread since editing the first post doesn't do it. :)

About Early usb recovery, to use that:

Install it, it's in the menu options of version 7.

Have usb debugging enabled on your phone and connected to your computer.

Turn off your phone.

Hold down the volume down button, since your phone is connected to the computer it should auto boot back up, it should say fastboot at the top, takes a minute or so.

click volume down until it says early usb enumeration. If you go past it just keep going it will come back around again.

press volume up to enter early usb mode

it should say something about a fuse, wait 30 seconds or so and you can connect to adb by typing .\bin\adb.exe shell from the windows folder, same from linux.

You are now in / and if you have rooted your phone using my scripts it should show up with a # as a prompt since I chmod 06755 /system/bin/sh.

there is a folder created under /mnt/asec/recovery, this is a copy of what is in the recovery root folder with busybox added to sbin with links.

system is already rw

/ is also rw

if found /data/local/tmp/recovery.sh is run

Type this in adb: (# indicates your adb shell prompt)

# export PATH=/mnt/asec/recovery/sbin:$PATH

(explanation, adb opens it's own shell with the default PATH, it can't inherit the path from anything.)

The phone doesn't auto reboot with a red blinking light, you can leave it in early usb mode for an hour if you want. If you want to continue with the normal boot process, just remove the usb cord from the phone, that is detected and boot resumes.

You don't have access to the internal sdcard or external sdcard, the process that mounts them hasn't run yet. However you can adb push to /data/local/tmp, and connect and disconnect from adb all you want so long as the plug isn't removed from the computer.

What works so far:

you can chown 2000.2000 /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 and then dd if=mmcblk0p12 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12.

I have used this to restore the entire phone, since the path includes the ramdisk sbin, you can dd system, or dd other partitions afterword, and still continue on with the rest of the partitions.

To do:

Get a better root, perhaps a recompiled su binary

Invoke a recovery, perhaps it's just running hijack from CWM.

Cheers!

Updated 7 with a few bug fixes, things like having 'n' vs just n. Also tossed in a sed file with mods for default.prop in ApplyMods.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
Updated with led light changes on the phone when it's in suspend mode during install and uninstall of deodexed files.

-green, all ok

-red, something happened, get into adb to fix it.

-flashing green, rebooting

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
Added in full phone backup and restore options.

So, if you have a stock phone, you can do a full backup of mmcblk0 partitions 1-14, and 17. 15 and 16 are not done since they are too large and can be recreated by the phone.

If you have a modified phone, either flashed with an sbf, or stock deodexed, you can restore the mmcblk0 partitions mentioned above.

This has been tested with the telstra sbf and it works fine. I have tried the 2.2.2 from France, but it was unsuccessful, the script completed but the phone didn't boot, just showed the red M for ages. Going from that to telstra, then running the script worked. I suspect a radio issue, one of the mmcblk0 partitions may contain radio data that doesn't match up.

Cheers!

Its been a month or so since I deodexed, any reason I should redo it with the last few changes? (Any day to day use benefits?)

[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
Hi,

I haven't updated the mods bits much themselves, boot animation, few default.prop edits might be new from a month ago. :) Still has webtop hack, transparent statusbar and drop down, wifi icons for a darker statusbar.

I made an attempt to convert a few existing themes out there to mods, but they ended up being rather buggy and a lot of work to fix up properly, not knowing what they are supposed to be doing doesn't help. Dropping images directly into framework-res.apk for .9.png files ends up a mess with apktool.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
Hi,

Updated version 8 with a new usb recovery script. Same deal as before, get into early usb recovery with usb cord connected to your computer, use adb to do whatever, pull the cord to continue booting. What's new is that /system is moved to /mnt/asec/old_system, and /system is a 320GB tmpfs, also the sdcard and internal mem are mounted. What this allows is a total revamp of /system without the phone crashing during the process or losing access to commands. To update system you would work with /mnt/asec/old_system. When you pull the cord, /system is restored to the mmcblk0p12 mount (old_system) so your changes are in effect immediately during that boot.

I also deodexed the french 2.1.1 system files and linked them in to the download scripts. I haven't updated the mods folder for that yet though.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
nice update man, very useful stuff you're putting up.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
Updated recovery.sh to use /old_system instead of /mnt/asec/old_system.

Cheers!

So is this possible via CWM and if it is how might one go about that? Also I read that there is a working bell theme has anyone been able to find this theme?

Also from what I know about .9.PNG files as long as you don't edit the 1px border around the image you should have no problems.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
I have CWM support in ApplyMods, but I don't use it myself, maybe a few versions from now it will be better. I just go to early usb enumeration mode and use adb once I have my script in place. It's safe and I know what is going on (the script is readable so you can too), no surprises like having data wiped after installing a simple framework-res change.

There's been lots of talk about themes for Bell elsewhere, maybe too much talk (U2 ref). lol

I had some mods I use included. What would be really useful is more posts explaining what is being done in themes, but I suspect things are being tossed together from other phones and the authors may not know themselves.

Cheers!

Thanks ill try this later and post my results

[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
Hi,

Run Menu.bat or Menu.sh if you are in linux. If it says you need root, select root, even if you have already rooted. It checks for things that other root scripts don't add like a 06755 sh, necessary for any practical use of early usb mode, and that superuser.apk has sh in it's whitelist.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
Update:

Seems that the patches for telstra work for the french sbf, updated mods folder accordingly. Fixed copy files to phone bug. Work in progress.

Updated root process to use a root.sh on the phone instead of on the computer, neater. Fixed issue of Gingerbreak not working if boomsh exists in the same folder. Added support for "Frozenfish" su backup, if Bell ever gets an OTA update, useless for sbf flashes.

misc other fixes..

Cheers!

Features:

1. Use Google Maps which is the most complete mapping solution available in the world

2. Download the maps of desired area, and use them while you are offline

3. Provide a list of downloads so you can delete them in future (if you don't wish to keep them anymore)

4. Use the phones internal GPS, to find you on the map

5. Markers:

5.1 Tap and hold a location to put a new marker.

5.2 View the list of markers and easily jump to the marked location.

5.3 Shows your location with a different marker.

6. Addresses: (Requires Internet Connection)

6.1 Shows the address of your location.

6.2 Jump to a desired address.

7. Preferred zoom level for "My Location" feature. Now, if you tap on My Location button, it will show the map whit the pre-configured settings.

8. Track me! by selecting this option from menu, GMapPro will show your location and track your movement on the map! It also shows your movement speed! (currently a very simple speedometer!)

9. Calculate the direct distance between to points in km or miles.

Installing GMapPro

1. You need to have a developer unlocked WP7 device for side-loading, or you can install it to the emulator.

2. Installing WP7 app is easy using Tom's XAP Installer.

3. Download the App from the attachment, unzip and then install

Please feel free to let me know about how it works, and what features you need...

Sprint Arrive, NoDo

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] vrassouli:
Hi alatesta, thanks for your intrest and your reply.

Geaolocation uses the internal GPS device in your phone.

please make sure you have enabled the location service (Settings->Location), and your device also should have access to GPS satelites (this means, sometimes gps doesn't work becouse of a cloudy sky or inside of the buildings!)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ~~Tito~~:
Hey can you take a look at the guidelines sticky and change your OP accordingly? :cool:

~~Tito~~
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] malatesta:
I'm aware of how GPS works...I have five Windows Phones, 3 which are developer unlocked ;-)

Version 2.0 now pulls down my address but the map itself does not change, meaning my map stays a global map instead of zooming into my location.

No offense, but your app is kind of useless at this point.

Update: so you have to manually zoom in, by pinching? Why doesn't it just auto-zoom into your location instead of showing the world map?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] vrassouli:
Yes, you are right. current version just saves the last zoom level which you have browsed manually and whenever you tap to get in your location, it just uses the current zoom level.

I'll add an option in next version, so you can define the zoom level by which you wish to view your location on map.

Thanks for your reply ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ertz:
Feels like a good start. It still has serious performance issues and, from a usability perspective, it's not obvious how to search for an address.

The green arrow (location marker) points to another location when you double tap to zoom in.

Keep up! :D
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] vrassouli:
Hi ertz, thanks for your reply

The green arrow, just shows your location which is retrived from internal GPS, not the location which you double tap.

And about the performance issues, would you provide some detailed information about these issues so I can handle them properly?

By the way, to search for an address, simply select the "jump to address" from the menu.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ertz:
You're welcome, thank you for the application! :)

Yes, I understood what the green arrow meant as it pointed to my house. I just found that when I double tap the map to zoon in, the arrow moved to another location. Must be a random bug because I couldn't reproduce it every time.

Well, it feels like a performance issue, but it might actually be how the zoom function is handled. When I pinch to zoom in/out it takes a little while for the app to actually zoom in. And when I change the zoom, the previous zoom level disappears and shows a "Loading" text. It just feels a little unresponsive.

You could probably change the approach to how the zoom works. Take the built-in Bing maps as an example: when you zoom in/out, the previous zoom level is still visible and you can actually see the map getting bigger/smaller while you do the pinch gesture.

Yep, I did find the "Jump to Address" function. I'm a graphics designer and I have some experience with UX/UI Design as well. What I meant in my previous reply is that "Jump to Address" isn't as obvious as saying "Search for address". Also, it would be much better if you add an icon to the app bar; the search function is used very often by people, so making it visible at all times is a good idea.

I hope I made myself clear. English isn't my primary language :p

EDIT:

I forgot to mention that when I move around, the parts of the map that are no longer visible are "discarded"... When I move back to the place I was a second ago, the map has to be reloaded. Depending on how you coded this, it might have a negative impact on the user's wallet. It costs money to download the maps.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Perlnx:
This is the best Google Map apps I've ever seen,

but I've a little lag issue when use zoom in-out.. anyway keep up the good work ! Thank you !
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Michael Gaines:
This looks great! Good job.

One quick question though. I use Google maps on WM to track the bus and train schedules. Google Maps would show the bus stops and when clicked they would give you the transit schedule within the app. Is this possible on any map program for WP7 yet?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] vrassouli:
Hi ertz, I put the search button as you suggested :-)

Some sort of improvements are also applied and I've planned to improve the performance even more in next versions.

That's the main reason to have offline maps!

You should download the maps for most browsed regions (for example your home town) using internet connection of your PC (connect using USB cable or WIFI) and then you can move around with no cost :);)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Koki.v3:
This app will be awesome when:

1) zooming in/out is smooth

2) directions are added

But still, this is by far the best free app out there. TA maps is pretty good, but I can't buy it cuz I don't live in marketplace supported country :/
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ertz:
Thanks! now it makes much more sense :)

Now, another thing I caught is that while moving around, parts of the map won't load. It only shows a white section. The funny thing is that I cannot move the map if I tap inside the white section.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] brooon:
Hey! :)

I´ve tried 2.1 a few days ago and tried 2.2 a few seconds ago...everytime the same error: "could not retrive address. Try again later".

At this moment I can´t use any function of this app...is there any solution? :(
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] redman99:
what sort of zoom levels do people tend to cache?

I think I chose too many (after 12 hours was only 2%)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] vrassouli:
To download a map, you should first zoom enough to the region you wish to save its maps. for example, I used zoom level 13 to cover my own home town, the whole city fits the screen at this level, then I use to download from level 0 to level 16!

Please be careful that it downloads the whole region that fits the screen at the currently viewing level! for example at level 0, which you see the whole globe, if you attempt to download the map, it will start to download the whole of the world!!!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] vrassouli:
would you please provide me latitude, longitude of the place you wish to retrieve the address?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] vrassouli:
more features like this, are planned for future releases...
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] vrassouli:
This is a planned bug, and will be fixed soon in next version ;)

Thanks for your replies, suggestions and helps :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ahduck:
Just a suggestion

Maybe you could include what are the change in the different version 2.0.. 2.1.. 2.2.. etc

Something like a log file so as we know what are fixed on the current and previous version and maybe add what are the issues found and will patch on the next version.

If so how can we do it?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] vrassouli:
Currently, the best way to download the maps is by using the USB cable and having the internet connection with zune! in this way, you can also download the maps under lock!

but connections like WIFI, are disabled by system while working under lock!

Is there any chance that author publish source code?

And, is posible to add marker to map from text recive in some format (xml, json, txt) from some server?

If author publish code, I'll use it for academic purpose I also give credit for author in my thesis.

I looked in one open project on CodeProject,

Is author use same approach to develop Gmap app?

Sorry for my english,

Thanks for your replay!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] vrassouli:
Unfortunately, I can't publish the source code, because I have another commercial application (which is for PC, not windows phone) and both use the same approach and same libraries!

I'm sorry ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] redman99:
Thanks, that worked great for the level of detail i was looking for.

Main problem I have now, is that when i'm out of the area i have downloaded, (and i'm out of data coverage), I get the network/image error, but no indication of what zoom level i am at.

Any change you could have a indicator letting you know what zoom level you are at?

Looking forward to the next release..
