It's not the locked/signed boot loader that would stop devs from achieving it, its when there Encrypted, which many believe it is and encryption is what would stop development. With as much guessing as there's been, i don't think anyone at this point actually knows. we'll find out as we get closer to launch and all the test units go out or till its actual release.

Uplinked through my mind
[HTC EVO 3D] moonzbabysh:
Go into the "evo 3d locked bootloader " thread and read the 15th comment, OMJ posted a great interview.

you sure its the 15th post haha. I didn't see what you were referring to.
[HTC EVO 3D] user7618:
Over in the Evo board there is a thread by Virus with the leaked rom. Someone looked and said the bootloader is locked but not encrypted.

-----

Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot Ginger-on-Hero action here!
[HTC EVO 3D] BronTron:
I understand that much, all android bootloaders are technically locked. But if it's signed then the process of unlocking it is very difficult. I'm just wondering if its both signed and locked in the same locked down way that the sensation is, or if it is just locked as the EVO was before it.

If someone could clear up how bootloader locking work, that would also help.
[HTC EVO 3D] moonzbabysh:
my bad, i forgot i had clicked a link in the thread i said before look in the "What is sprints stance on locked bootloaders" thread.
[HTC EVO 3D] NewZJ:
+1

The leak thread stated locked and signed, not encrypted
[HTC EVO 3D] mlin:
Did the evo have a signed bl?

Tapa tapa tapa
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
the evo had a locked bootloader/nand with signed updates but the partitions themselves weren't signed.
[HTC EVO 3D] BronTron:
and in this case they are? So theres really no relief from HTC. They did the same thing they did with all the other phones...
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
no? the other phones where encrypted
[HTC EVO 3D] evologic:
Right for the most part I've gone through dumps and ruu for a lot of HTC divices and for the most part biggest difference I saw was some of the sensation files are different

But encrypted a signed bl or certs they all are atrix is deff encrypted
[HTC EVO 3D] Bigjim1488:
I don't think you will get a solid answer until people start getting their hands on the device. This thread was kind of pointless to start when there are other threads going on about the same issue
[HTC EVO 3D] evologic:
I mean xtc clip would most likely work I believe it did for inc s.

Also speaking to the dude from there says sensation is next Idk time will tell but if inc s was able to s off Idk why the sensation can't or 3d being there the same thing minus 3d and carrier differnce
[HTC EVO 3D] BronTron:
that's not entirely true considering the sensation forums have a pretty clear idea what's going on in there. just don't know what they can do with it yet. and the other threads are the reason for this thread.
[HTC EVO 3D] idavid_:
Sensation is locked and I'm 99% sure EVO 3D will be too. But if devs unlock the Sensation, can they use the same method for E3D? Am I thinking right?

*Off-topic: Any news about GSM version?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beigeman:
Hi,

I was going to follow through the steps on the Cyanogen Mod wiki for rooting my Desire Z, however the "android.d3xt3r01.tk" website where a few of the files are stored are being blocked by Avast, I was just wondering if anyone had any idea if:

A) That was the legitimate place to get those files, or if someone has maliciously edited the wiki page.

B) If that's a false positive from Avast, or if files on that site are actually malicious, through a hack or whatever reason.

Also, it suggests making a backup with an application such as Titanium backup before you try rooting, but Titanium backup wont do anything unless you're root - isn't that a bit of a catch-22?

p.s. Hello everyone! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theSpam:
When I went through the rooting process, nod32 did detect some of the files as Android exploits, which is in fact true...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilostchild:
When rooting your able to get root privilages and a custome recovery, still have your stock rom / or you can gain temp root to back up everything as well, then do a nandroid, then flash rom

Also most files here will through a false positive due to its nature of the files, it goes on phone to root system/files to change permissions, and ant virus will see it as its harmful cause it reads at its going to change computer files and privilages

You can try the xda wiki way, I didn't get any wanrings for thos files and I'm running kaspersky net security
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
Kaspersky threw a warning for me but I added the files to it's exclusions. You are dead on in your explanation as far as why they show up as a virus... because technically, the files are a virus. They circumvent an OS's security measures to accomplish something. Not malicious but no less a virus. It's actually a rootkit "virus" for Linux so it can't harm Windows.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codeles:
Sorry for the lame question but would like some input from the community.

Yesterday I flashed Continuum 5.4.1. First impression is that it's awesome. Very pretty and I LOVE TouchWiz4. However I get locked up a lot. I think the lockups could be due to Tw4 so I'm switching to my usual LauncherPro setup to see if that improves performance (as in doesn't crash regularly).

That being said I see that there are a nice handful of 2.3 ROMs for the cappy and I don't have time or resources to give them all a fair try.

In your experiences which ones are the stablest? Which work the smoothest?

I understand these ROMs are young and the devs will undoubtedly spend countless hours working to iron the crinkles out of them, but so far (in your opinions) which is the most ironed out?

thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babo1453:
Continuum 5.4.1 has been the smoothest for me ..... if you have it set correctly.

Disable all tweaks from Tweaks, especially if you have it overclocked

TW can be glitchy - good call on LauncherPro
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weedolo9y:
Mosaic III by far I've used everyone the only one close is continuum
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codeles:
I really like Tw4, can't wait for the GS2, but yeah I may just have to hold off since it mostly locks my phone up. Was awesome of them to put it in Continuum for checking out (Samsung has really moved the bar up as I hated Tw3).

EDIT: LauncherPro is BLAZING on this ROM. Really nice.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevebic83:
Mosiac

MOSIAC is probably going to be your best bet. Their team's top priority is making a solid stable ROM above all else. If you tried any of the Froyo ROM's then you've used one of their ROM's before, after all the team members individually had their own Froyo ROM's that were the cream-of-the-crop. So now they are all working together on MOSIAC and it will blow anything else out of the water. I've tried pretty much every ROM out there and I always end up tucking my tail between my legs and crawling back. :D

Hi all,

I've read something about Enable/Disable in the android development forum. There are explanations how to deal with that issues by using adb or shell. To make it more convenient here is a simple straightforward app to do that.

What the app does:

Apps are listed.

Enable state shown

Stock apps are marked

Short click provides enabling or disabling.

Long Click gives some more information.

Precondition:

You have to be rooted (temporary is sufficient)

S-OFF not needed.

HTC SENSE updates automatically, some other launcher as AWD need restart to make the result visble.

Tested on two HTC phone types with Android 2.2 and 2.3 and with SENSE, AWD.

Screeshot and app are attached.

Best regards,

DKbluefish

The cord is reinforced with wire, the jack & mic are made out of sturdy metal instead of the usual cheap plastic. For 30 bucks it's not a bad deal.

[General Questions and Answers] laxity:
I want to move my ringtones and notfication sounds from internal storage to /sd-ext. To do this I need to create a symbolic link from /system/media/audio -> /sd-ext/media/audio/

It seems that root explorer is unable to create symbolic links so are there any other android apps available that can do this? I really don't want to have to install the android SDK just to do this so is there an easy way to do this from the phone?

Cheers,

Richard.
[General Questions and Answers] technoplunk:
If your rooted and have terminal installed you should be able to enter the following:

ln -sf /sd-ext/media/audio /system/media/audio

I haven't tried it myself in android but its what would work in a regular linux environment.
[General Questions and Answers] laxity:
Thanks that did the trick. I installed Terminal Emulator from the market and su'd then created the link. After a reboot all my ringtones and notifications are now working from my sd-ext partition :)

I get the message: Link failed. No such file or directory.

Both directories exist and contain files. I have tried with various combinations of directories existing with or without files ... same thing.

Any ideas? Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] technoplunk:
Assuming /sdcard/sdcard-disk/olivetree and /sdcard/olivetree are both directories without any functioning links and contain some files that differ from each other, I would do enter the following in the terminal:

cp -a /sdcard/olivetree /sdcard/sdcard-disk/olivetree

rm -rf /sdcard/olivetree

ln -sf /sdcard/sdcard-disk/olivetree /sdcard/olivetree​

These steps copy all data from one directory to the other.

Delete one of the directories.

Link the existing directory to the removed directories location.

Thinking a little harder about your problem I realize your trying to do a soft link from one portion of a fat32 partition to another. I suspect the issue might be that you can't create soft links on a fat32 partition as it probably isn't supported. Microsoft created fat32 and never supported soft links on it.:(

It worked for laxity because he was linking from an ext3 or ext4 partition to the fat32. The actual link resided on the ext partition.
[General Questions and Answers] aimeehammond:
The file structure of this tablet seems a bit weird to me. /sdcard is the tablet's internal storage. The sub-directory /sdcard/sdcard-disk is the micro sd card. I would have expected it to be in the root directory of the tablet, but it's not. However, I didn't think the internal storage was FAT32. Is it??

I'm baffled.
[General Questions and Answers] technoplunk:
The "mount" command will list all partitions and their types. Its a bit verbose on my phone. Any fat32 partitions will probably say vfat rather than ext(#).
[General Questions and Answers] aimeehammond:
Aha. Several partitions (/system /data /misc /cache) are ext3.

/sdcard and /sdcard/sdcard-disk are FAT32. :(

Is there a way to format the internal /sdcard as ext3?

Thanks so much for your help!
[General Questions and Answers] technoplunk:
I recommend poking the people in the Elocity A7 section of the forums, they have more experience with your particular device and can likely tell you if it is safe to try or not.
[General Questions and Answers] technoplunk:
I should also add that changing those partitions to ext3 would mean you could no longer drag and drop files from a Windows pc as Windows can't read that partition type.

Hello,

Sorry to unhearth this post but I have a similar problem and these command lines do not seems to work.

On my daughter's SGJ5 running 6.0.1, I have an issue with Musical.ly taking too much space because it is storing video files on the phone memory and wont be moved to SD card.

So I got inspiration from your post and thought of creating a symbolic link between the folder where Musical.ly stores its videos to another one on the SD card: respectively '/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.zhiliaoapp.musically/files/localvideos' on the phone memory and '/storage/6561-3337/Videos/musically' which I created on the SD card.

I ran the following command using adbputty:

cp -a /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.zhiliaoapp.musically/files/localvideos /storage/6561-3337/Videos/musically

rm -rf /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.zhiliaoapp.musically/files/localvideos

ln -sf /storage/6561-3337/Videos/musically/localvideos /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.zhiliaoapp.musically/files/localvideos

cp and rm worked fine but when I try to run the ln command I get the following error:

ln: cannot create symbolic link from '/storage/6561-3337/Videos/musically/localvideos' to '/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.zhiliaoapp.musically/files /localvideos': Operation not permitted

Edit: I tried the following command instead (inspired from "https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62273638&postcount=18")

ln -sf /storage/6561-3337/Videos/musically/localvideos /data/media/0/Android/data/com.zhiliaoapp.musically/files

and that works for creating the symlink but Musical.ly does show anymore Private videos, nor is it possible to create new ones.

Could you please help me with this?

Cheers
[General Questions and Answers] technoplunk:
Wow talk about resurrecting a dead thread. Referencing me was definitely the right way to get my attention though.

Vendors have used many different paths to point to the SD card over the years. I don't think I have ever had two device that used the same path. So odds are the path that you have found is likely correct for your device.
