I like many others experienced developers do not appreciate going thru the reg process and then being told I cannot post except in the kiddy forums. (Q$A or General). I have read xda forums for the better part of 4 months and don’t feel like being baby sat!

Here is my 1st post only 9 more I have no general questions as I got past that YEARS AGO. I will play nice I will play nice ...

I was going to post some VALID comments and was blocked.

Sorry for rant but... I wont go on. :D

updated to AT$T 2.2 and now on quest to root

I have to get this bloatware off this phone one way or another. I cant stand paying for a phone and then being unable to get the junkware off.

Has anyone had success with rooting the stock ATT 2.2 rom. The update.zip files dont seem to work anymore.

I am just posting this here so I can get my post count up so I can participate in the dev forums.

Later.

I agree, the post minimum should only apply when starting a thread in dev, not fair to apply it to replys. If you need to reply in a thread then more power to you. If your wish is to start a thread in dev to ask a question then I will inform you now to post it in q&a as it will be moved there

Well why not just be in the Q&A forum and help people out by answering their questions? You help people and you get your post count up.
[General Topics] lude219:
No offense to the OP, but that's probably one of the dumbest posts I've seen here. It doesn't matter if you're a programmer/developer/what-have-you, just because you spend 4 months lurking and don't contribute a single post doesn't give you any kind of authoritative measure as to how the posting should be govern regardless of your literacy on the matter of programming/hacking.
[General Topics] oka1:
The more educated tend to be the most antidisestablishmentarists there are.... The Rule for 10 posts really is more dealing with the noobs that have no idea the difference between a smartphone and a smart-ass... Ergo the rule, just post 10 times and move on.

Love Android ......... can't wait until the next flash !!!!!
[General Topics] tolis626:
Well,I for one don't like the whole 10 posts idea.Why?There are people who can contribute from their first moment here,without having a single post,and there are others who have hundreds or even thousands of posts,but cannot help anybody,not even themselves.Number of posts doesn't make you a noob,nor does it un-noob you if you have it in you. :)
[General Topics] lude219:
It's also to curb spambots with their single-post filled with links. Any other questions?
[General Topics] dani26286:
that one makes sense ...
[General Topics] Dean Guilberry:
No lurking at all. I spent four months researching and doing things in android w/o posting a bunch of stupid questions for things that have been already answered. I am sorry if your feelings were hurt.

All that rule accomplished was that I didn’t post an observation that I saw while trying to root the stock 2.2 ATT ROM. But since I couldn’t post I guess I will just let others figure it out on their own.

It is not so much my literacy on programming / hacking it is the assumption that I am a spammer and or a stupid kid that won’t use search to find answers to questions that have already been asked.

The one post per every 5 minutes works for most spammers.

IN ADDITION if you didn’t get the obvious smiley :D connotations that it WAS MOSTLY SARCASM and a way to get startedd posting in the kid section. The end of the world didn’t come because I couldn’t post on an Android forum LOL I don’t have to say more, SARCASM!! Get it???
[General Topics] madnish30:
Well, removed the posts which are not meant for this section ( maybe off topic section ! )

And yes, if you have achieved all that you claim to have - as in the developer etc etc you could be kind enough and go over to the question answer 10 simple questions and bingo ! Post in the dev section, that would be appreciated way more than a rant.

But, your call.

Chainfire released a new root tool that uses an exploit in Gingerbread called "Gingerbreak". This might be an easier way to root the Play/Arc/Neo/Pro and it might also work on phones with locked bootloaders.

Didn't work on my xperia play.

Installed it to phone, formatted my sd card and when i run gingerbreak it get's stuck on running exploit with my sd card unmounted.

In another thread someone said that if you go to storage and manually mount the sd card it will reboot and work.

But.......this again did not work for me.

Going to try the manual root.

You can use a root file explorer and just delete the .apk's you dont want from /system/app/ or try an app called "system app remover" (or somthing like that) its free in the market :)

[Xperia Play Android Development] NielDK:
Possible work-around for 2.3.3 (locked bootloader)

Since this posted in the Arc sections has been confirmed working on Arc's with a LOCKED bootloader, those who want may give it a try.

DO NOT DO THIS if your bootloader have been unlocked, it will brick your device!!!

1. Use flashtool to downgrade to the .181 generic firmware

2. Root the device using GingerBreak1.2

3. Update to .145 (2.3.3) using FOTA

root should/may be retained. That is at least as it seems on the Arc.

Again:

DO NOT DO THIS if your bootloader have been unlocked, it will brick your device!!!

I hope this is pretty simple for someone to answer....

I'm replacing the file below to apply hardkey changes in certain phone states.

system/usr/keylayout/Bravo-keypad.kl

However, the phone needs to be rebooted if I replace the file using a standard file explorer.

[Q] Is there a terminal command I can run that will replace the file with one stored from another location that will take effect immediately? Alternatively, is there a terminal command I can use to 'scan' 're-read' that directory and apply the changes?

For what I'm doing, I only have linux/terminal commands available to me...

Hope someone can help!?

Thanks in advance..
[Android Software Development] brandall:

Surely there is a way to notify of system changes without the need of a reboot...?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Protonus:
Credit and thanks to JaeKar99 for the animated .gif!

There are higher res preview images below showing the "final" state of each of the three images/pages that "load".

This is a Fascinate specific/custom boot animation. It is a shameful kang and tweak of frysee's "Android BIOS" animation from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=648555

All credit for the original images/design should go to him, unless someone tells me different.

This is a mashup of the generic Galaxy S one and the Captivate one. I took what I liked from each (or was most factually correct for us), and i've made the following minor tweaks/changes:

0.) I am assuming users are using 2.2.1 Froyo and the 2.6.32.9 kernel build, for this variant. Used that build anywhere it's specified

1.) Started with the Captivate version that has the nice ANSI/ASCII Android Logo after the BIOS "finishes"

2.) Eliminated all of the ghosted/improperly changed text that the Captivate variant had

3.) Stated that it's a "Samsung Fascinate Galaxy S" for the phone model

4.) Used 1000 MHz clock speed

5.) Replaced the Android ROM version after the "ROM Extension" line, with the kernel build instead. Thought it was nice to mention kernel.

6.) Updated all dates to 2011

7.) Changed Flash Extension to a Samsung microSDHC since our phones came with one (versus Captivate having the internal SD card)

8.) Changed Phone Storage to Samsung OneNAND

9.) Changed the "Press ____ to enter SETUP" to VOLUP+VOLDOWN we use for recovery

10.) Slipped our "SCH-I500" model number into the alphanumeric string at the bottom

11.) Updated Pri Master Disk size to 1563MB we have

12.) Made the Sec. Master Disk 16384MB for the 16GB sdhc we got with the phone

Download links

This one is NOT a flashable .zip: http://www.mediafire.com/?0836f9rvgabj9qt

Instead, just copy this file to /system/media/ and either overwrite or rename the existing file. This requires that you are on an aftermarket ROM that supports changing of the boot animation.

is the kernal what controls the bootup animations and brand logo? or is it a ROM based thing ? i want to remove the samsung logo at bootup. it shows for about 20 seconds before my bootanimation starts. i want to remove it so the bootanimation starts imediatley. right now the boot animation is being cut short because the samsung logo is taking to long to cycle.

that's different, it can be changed with a lot of dangerous modification but it can't be cut out. things are happening during that time that have to happen; drivers are loading, hardware is activating, memory is being allocated, etc and there's no way to make it happen any faster.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] iNewbie:
Everybody in here, I need your help. I have a problem that is currently unresolved. I have a Motorola Milestone, I bought it last year in Singapore. I've changed the firmware to version of gingerbread. I think the firmware is less suitable for my Motorola Milestone and I want to change it as the beginning of the Motorola firmware original. but, when I want to change it, always failed. I waited until the long hours but no result. it's said "waiting to find the latest firmware". So, I want to ask for help all of you who have a way out. Please, tell me how fix it.

Which software to use to change the original firmware?

How do I operate?

Where can I download it?

etc.?

Please, tell me.

HELP ME..!!!

You can download official 2.2.1 for Singapore from here. Use rsdlite to flash. There are many guides in the milestone development thread for it.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
Pretty straight forward set of tools here:

Admin Edit: These files are removed at the OPs request and are available via his own website.

Flash desired zip from recovery. Hope you made a nandroid backup. ;)

vision_wipe_efs repackaged with permission from guhl source and license can be found in the zip files.

Why superwipe?

Sometimes using the built in format options in CWM dont work. The motivation behind creating the tool was that i was having serious bootlooping issues that couldnt be solved from flashing/formatting/etc from recovery. No matter what i did i would boot up and be greeted with a hundred force close messages and a hard reboot. it sucked. flashed the superwipe, restored my backup and was up and running in no time. This uses recoveries built in format command as well as the erase_image binary to complete destroy the partitions, reformat them and check the filesystems afterward. a log is then saved to /sdcard/superwipe.log

If anything, this is a great one click wipe tool for a complete wipe between roms, or to troubleshoot.

vision_wipe_efs wipes the mmcblk0p13 and mmcblk0p14 partitions and has been shown to fix the broken GPS for almost all users experiencing gps loss. the binary is to ensure no errors while typing dd commands which can cause device death. vision_wipe_efs was written and compiled by xda member guhl.

All three zips are safe and working.

YES ohsaka/ezterry released a superwipe for the g1, YES this zip is basically doing the same thing.

I didnt use any of ohsaka's superwipe.sh code, nor did use any binaries from his superwipe. Instead i use the built in erase_image and e2fsck that are already in CWM recovery. It isn't a rip-off, it is what it is, a superwipe tool for the g2. sue for me for using built in command in an open source environment and using a name with no copyright... idiots.

TROLLS: you're annoying, you contribute nothing. they have a name in biology for something that constantly feeds and never returns. Cancer. Please go back under your respective bridges unless you have something of value to offer.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sparksco:
This isn't the same type of suprerwipe as the g1. As a matter of fact it's completely different. I think what derek was refering to was that the name superwipe implies that it wipes everything, which it doesn't, and is also a rip-off name of xda user ohsaka's superwipe, which can clearly be seen here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=834812. Not to say the gps thing isn't working since I can't test it. Yes I relize this one is for the g2 ect, but at least come up with your own name for it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sparksco:
Oh don't get me wrong, superwipe is a great name and all it's just not very original. As far as the funtionality of it I won't comment much on that since I don't have a g2 to test it on, and amazingglaay is not even the original one who compiled these, as it clearly states on the OP. But yes credit to ezterry or ohsaka in the op would be the right, thing to do, but people don't always do the right things...
