[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferranb:
Disclaimer 1 : I tried to look for something like this but I did not found it. Then I tried to achieve it. Sorry if they are well known steps ;)

This guide allows to root a Nexus One with unlocked bootloader with NO need to flash recovery

USE THAT INFORMATION AT YOUR RISK!!

Updated: Added a line to work with Gingerbread

That steps are for

Ubuntu

. If you are any interested windows user, please let me know.

Prerequisites:

Unlocked bootloader

adb working properly

1. Download fastboot

wget --referer=http://developer.htc.com/adp.html http://dl4.htc.com/RomCode/ADP/fastboot.zip
unzip fastboot.zip
chmod u+x fastboot
rm fastboot.zip

2. Obtain busybox (anyone have any direct link?) - NOT GOING TO FLASH CM, JUST GETTING busybox from a trusted place

wget http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/update-cm-7.0.0-N1-signed.zip
unzip update-cm-7.0.0-N1-signed.zip system/xbin/busybox
rm update-cm-7.0.0-N1-signed.zip

3. Download su

-- UPDATE: that link broken, you have to donwload it from Google Play

wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6408470/su-releases/su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip
unzip su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip system/app/Superuser.apk system/bin/su
rm su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip

4. Download recovery-RA - NOT GOING TO FLASH IT, DON'T WORRY!!!

wget -O recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img http://files.androidspin.com/files/amon_ra/RECOVERY/recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img
md5sum recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img
echo ... Validate md5sum is 3def709ab1c9e051a92a1c8b1504a36a

5. Reboot to bootloader - JUST BOOTING WITH, NO FLASHING

adb devices
adb wait-for-device
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot boot recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img
echo ... Waiting for recovery image load
while [ -z `adb shell pwd 2> /dev/null` ]
do
sleep 1
done

6. Root it!

adb shell mount /system

adb push system/xbin/busybox /system/bin/busybox
adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox

adb push system/bin/su /system/bin/su
adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

adb push system/app/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
adb shell chmod 4755 /system/app/Superuser.apk

7. Reboot and enjoy rooting

adb shell reboot

Will this work on stock Gingerbread?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferranb:
If you are running Nexus One with Gingerbread, as I understand, it can work. I've not tried, you can try.... at your risk ;-)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
If you have an unlocked bootloader, yes, it will work. If you have an unlocked bootloader, you can install pretty much anything you want, whenever you want...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferranb:
I've added a adb command (mount /system) to work with Gingerbread. It works on mine.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferranb:
It also works on 2.3.4
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obstacles can kill:
Yep. Worked great for me. But with all due respect, it seemed a little fishy to me that your directions have users pull busybox from Cyanogenmod but then have them pull su and Superuser.apk from a random file on a Dropbox account especially since both files are available in the already trusted Cyanogenmod download that was used for busybox. And even more so because the Superuser.apk file using your instructions is a larger file than the one included with Cyanogenmod. So I only used the files from CM and it worked like a charm.

Not accusing you or anything. I'm just pointing that out.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
The easier way is to do step 5, then flash the su zip from step 3, and you're pretty much done. You can install busybox through the Market app...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferranb:
Don't worry for the link, I toke it from the original post for that su release:

I agree it's enough with CM but I intend to get the last version... may be it's not the best option...

Thanks for your comments.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LucaZPF:
Hi all. I ve just bought galaxy tab and i ve made a custom wallpaper for it. The resolution of the screen is 1024x600 so i ve made a wall with this reolution but it doesn't fit properly with the screen. I ve tried also 1200x1024 but i ve got the same problem. I ve tried to make one smaller, like 800x600.nothing to do. What is the right resolution for a galaxy tab wall?

Many thanks

Luca
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GANJDROID:
Its not the picture that's the problem. Some roms/gallery apps don't scale them properly. They'll either be good quality but not fit the screen, or slightly pixelated and be full screen.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LucaZPF:
My wallpapers looking good in app gallery; the problem appears when i try to set the wallpaper as a background (i see an orange squared area that highlight a portion of image).

I rather expected to see my picture as big as the orange rectangle, but it's not, due to wrong wallpaper resolution (i think)

EDIT:

i have found this topic: http://bit.gy/Zy

and the resolution suggested in that thread is the same i've tried
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
As Ganjdroid suggested, it's not the images that's at fault here. Personally, I hate the stock wallpaper app so I use the browser. If you can, put the image online somewhere, browse to it and long-hold it and select "set as wallpaper". That's the best method I've found for setting hi-res wallpapers.

There's also "Wallpaper set and save" in the market which does a good job too.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GANJDROID:
That's right. Setting from the browser works fine... Strange.

But, the AOSP Gallery will size images correctly but you lose a bit of quality, the stock Samsung Gallery will keep quality but won't fit right at the top and bottom.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexTheStampede:
Uh, how about giving QuickPic a try? Free on the market, it's an awesome gallery app.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pawces:
The correct wallpaper resolution is 1024x1200. Look for an app called gTabWallpaper. If you have wallpapers of this resolution, that app will apply it properly. It also sets larger resolutions quite nicely.

Sent from my Galaxy Tab.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biohaz55:
Wallpapers have been an issue since the Tab was launched, it seems to be a prob with the way the Tab scales.

Download Quickpic from the market and use that app to set your wallpapers (1200x1024). With Quickpic you'll have no problem at all and your wallpapers will be sharp and clear.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fernandoper:
Do you use any HD wallpaper app?

ok i was running cyanogenmod 7 ex- destroyer and i nandroid backup wiped (data/cache/delvic cache) flashed mike froyo v4.5, and now anytime i flash a rom or back up its in an endless boot animation loop. the only rom i can flash is a stock rom. I miss my cm7 ex :( can anyone help please.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emcp422:
are you using clockworkmod 3... or 2.5 there have been some issues with 3. version if you are on 3., you should go back to 2.5 and try calkulins allformat.zip, it erases data,cache,dalvik, and partitions, it works every time i have a problem flashing a new rom, you can find it in his thread just look for calkulin, have your new room in sd to flash after wipe
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
Download amon RA v2.3 in the form of PC36IMG.zip from amon's thread. I don't have the link handy. Place the zip file on the root of your hard drive and turn off your EVO. Simultaneously press the down volume button and the power button until your device starts. The bootloader will load and automatically detect the zip file and prompt you to install. Follow the easy prompts to install. Installation will take less than 10 seconds. Afterwards, reboot into recovery, go to the wipe menu and wipe EVERYTHING in it except the SD card itself. Now go into the flash menu and flash the rom of your choice. You should no longer have bootlooping issues unless your radios need reflashing.

Actually its a kernel issue, ASOP kernels normally don't like sense kernels, and you'll get a boot loop.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstalford:
Did I miss where he said something about using a Sense kernel on an AOSP ROM or vice versa?

I thought he was on CM7 and wanted to flash MikFroyo. No mention of kernels.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rastababy:
ok i tried the calukin format and it didnt reflashed. i was running clockwork 2.6 and i even tried 3.0 and nothing.. i just updated to amon ra and im going to get back to if it works...

yea i was running cm7 but i was reading about mikefroyo and heard it was fast and wanted to see if it was faster than cm7. and to me it wasnt so when i flashed back to cm7 i started getting a boot loop
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
Okay. Remember to wipe EVERYTHING in the wipe menu EXCEPT the SD card itself. Do it twice for good measure. You do not need Calkulin's format-all zip.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oceanminded:
So, I'm thinking about dropping my $30/month unlimited data plan with Verizon. I love my eris, but I really only use data to check email and facebook a few times a day, and maybe a few other things like checking the weather, google calendar, etc. It's nice, but I feel like it's not worth paying $30 per month for the little amount that I use it.

Is there any way to drop my data plan while keeping my eris (without incurring data fees of course)? I'd like to keep the ability to make calls, send texts (including MMS), but nothing else. Is this possible?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CondemnedSoul:
I'm not sure you have the option to not have the $30 a month charge with any smartphone on vz.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
As far as I know, if you activate what is considered a smartphone on a Verizon plan, the data plan is an automatic that cannot be removed. You'd have to switch to a feature phone (and, unfortunately, some of those require a $10 data plan themselves.)

If you are on a month-to-month you could try switching your number to one of the pre-paid services, like Cricket or something.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oceanminded:
Ah, that's what I figured.

I might just switch back to a dumbphone and use my eris as wifi-only since I'm around wifi 90% of the time.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1234567188:
You need a data plan not the 30$ data plan, get the cheaper one and then you can check web on the go
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
Right now there is no cheaper plan. There was a brief time that they had a capped plan at $15 (I think), but right now, as of January, smartphones are $30 for unlimited data.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misterman102:
well I'm not sure, but right now I have a 150 MB plan for the $15 a month. I'm with Verizon and honestly I don't even use that much data monthly. I'm pretty sure if you drop them a line you could get it, it's a good savings
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kedlun:
Yeah, that's the plan I have and that has indeed been dropped, Verizon no longer offers it except for us legacy users who happened to still have it. I usually come right up to the cap each month but it's sufficient for everything I need (I usually have wifi anyway). Hopefully Verizon will offer up some alternative plans at some point but as far as I know nothing is coming up soon.

So, no, you can't go data-less on verizon. I actually carried around my eris and my old feature phone for ages before I decided to pay for a data plan. It's annoying, but the eris works great for a wifi-only device.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misterman102:
yeah, a data-less eris sounds like a good idea, i'm at wifi 90% of the time anyway. i'm really just replying here cause i wanna help this guy with bugs on his new gingerbread rom and i can't post there until i get 10 of these
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmithsEnemy:
I heard a rumor at some point that

Verizon was doing away with the unlimited data plan in favor of a tiered option system. Has anyone heard anything about this? I would definitely switch to a capped option if it was cheaper, I don't think I've ever come close to a single GB of data usage and I never turn wifi on.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neera:
Yes, Verizon is introducing tiered data plans some time this summer.

verizon-targeting-mid-summer-for-tiered-data-plans
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmithsEnemy:
Yup that's it. Now I wonder what the options are going to be... Magic answer forum go!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Letitride:
My VZW plan has a generous 22% corporate discount for voice & unlimited web data and should be grandfathered with these new tiered pricing - nice, right. But, it will be removed if and when a new/replacement device is activated. It's one of the better deal still available for about $25/mo. w. taxes & fees for data itself, oh well - plenty of discussions over at HoFo ....

I used between 250 MB and 500 MB data monthly on the HTC Eris w. FroShedYo ROM (less w. the unlocked & HTC Ozone Global on 3VO ROM) - since I take advtange of a much faster secured wifi broadband link @ home whenever possible with marginal 3G coverage. While traveling, I did come close to using about 1 GB data without tethering and nice to not worry about going over any capped limits.

Looking at both PagePlus Cellular and MetroPCS, it will be a "challenge" to use their talk & text/limited web data plan without going over (capped at 100 MB or 200 MB) but it will be cheaper overall if I turnoff all the widgets & background apps, email checking, etc. on the Eris & keep tabs of all data downloads. The Ozone is now used with an AT&T Gophone prepaid Sim on GSM network as a backup line, and with limited usage - I get by with using 20 to 50 MB data each month.

I've not renewed/extended my VZW plan since becoming eligible again for annual equipment upgrade - with the trends for locking down the bootloader(s) and disabling the firmware (i.e. Droid X Global) - seriously debating switching to GSM for a broader selection of phones - and easily swapping phone by inserting the Sim card (excluding the iPhone, of course).

Hey there!

I would like to show you one of my first apps.

This is an unpretentious widget supposed to fake an impact on the phone screen and so simulate a broken screen to fool your friends :).

I know there are many other apps of that kind on the market but I wanted to write something which would be easy to use and custom.

On top of that, it's free and ads-free. So, tell me what you think, what I could improve, and enjoy ;).

Here is the market link

And some screen shots

Thank you!

Ahah, it seems pretty good for a first app !!

Totaly useless but must have.

Effect look quite real.
[Android Apps and Games] JustinBrew:
Cool app idea.

Just one thing of note...

And when I browse for it my app browser screen or widget browser it has a black background and your icon is black so it looks like your app doesnt have an icon. But I see it does when I click it I can see it (because it gets highlighted green when I click).

Im on an HTC Evo.

Great app. This will make for some interesting practical jokes.

Made clickable for the lazy!

Would be cool if you could have set to open an app or shortcut when you click on the crack
[Android Apps and Games] cristi78:
It works great, but it's kind of small on the galaxy s. you can modify it with launcher pro + to enhance the size. also being a widget it moves when you scroll between panels. it would be cool if it stayed in the same place on each panel and on the app drawer.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] krook6023:
If you do that please include a "click" or cracking sound when the screens cracks...LOL

how about when you press the screen then you broke it? and blame then for breaking your screen.. hahaha!! good joke for friends :))

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManCityFC:
Something has just dawned on me, I have just ordered a full Transformer but never checked if it has an Ethernet port on the dock. Can anyone confirm. I spend a LOT of time in hotels and a lot still use cable connection.

If not, is there any way around this that you can think of (not tethered to phone though, as on fixed data plan). Is there an adaptor to convert one of the other ports to Ethernet?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZaelFaroe:
I have not heard of any tablet coming out with an ethernet port. I suppose a USB to ethernet adapter may work, but I doubt Android has the drivers (I may be wrong though).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Badwolve1:
Its not listed as the ports in this thread

Although if someone developed a USB Host, you could buy an Ethernet to USB adapter.

PS, Added Q to your title ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DCKing:
I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that the underlying Linux will make a USB -> Ethernet converter work fine. But you'll have to try that. Secondly, I don't know if Android has support for USB internet connections. They only cost 5 to 10 euros so it can't hurt much to just try.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManCityFC:
Guess I just think of Android as baby Linux, so it never really crossed my mind until now. Guess my old Eee PC will have to go in my suitcase on long trips too. Bugger.

Where are the USB ports? Are they actually on the dock? Thought I read somewhere that it was on the charger cable or something???
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManCityFC:
Exactly my thought too. I will buy one and give it a go when I get mine on the 19th. Doubt you've heard the last of this question.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManCityFC:
Certainly sounds plausible.
