[Motorola Droid 3] g3m1n1:
Has anyone been able to successfully install Busybox after rooting? I grabbed it from the market but the install FCs.

For the install I picked v1.19.0 installing to /system/xbin.

The requirements page states the following are necessary:

A fully rooted device

A device that is nand unlocked

A device that does NOT have any sort of write protection on the file system

A ROM that supports installing Busybox to partitions that are NOT re-written on every boot

At least 1600KB free in your chosen installation path

Are we missing #2 on req. list even though we can fully root the device?
[Motorola Droid 3] eww245:
Yes busybox does work. Im wondering if that app is not remounting /system as writabe.

Try this, from adb or a terminal emulator. Type su . Then mount -o remount,rw /system

then try to run the app again.
[Motorola Droid 3] g3m1n1:
Thanks but this command does not seem to have complete syntax. In Terminal, after elevating to su, I run that and am prompted with "Usage: mount....etc".
[Motorola Droid 3] eww245:
Well that was the busybox way. lol

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/system /system
[Motorola Droid 3] g3m1n1:
Thanks, I think that did the trick.

Looked for this post and have not found it.

I'n on the GB leak 2.3.3 Liberation and have read the Froyo Radio 2.05.00.06.11 has a better d/l speed for some.

Will using the Radio 2.05.00.06.11 work on GB leaks?

Thank you

Just curious if there was an app out there that can allow to adjust the contrast, brigtness, and saturation for the display? From a software aspect. Not physical hardware brightness. An app that can manipulate the internal workings of linux for this function?

THANKS!
[Motorola Photon 4G] ghodzilla5150:
Both these Apps won't work on my Photon (even thou I am Rooted, verified by Root Check, even BusyBox is installed). My Backup Pro will Backup Apps BUT not Data. Titanium Pro w/licenses will Not work at all.

From what I understand it's a ROM/Kernel thing (worked on my EVO with Myn's Warm 2.2 then Synergy). Any workarounds? Thanks.

Titanium has been working for me.
[Motorola Photon 4G] my2cents:

Restored using TB and just made a successful backup of both apps and system. Works just as it did on my ogEVO.
[Motorola Photon 4G] roadster92:
What kind of error did you get when running Titanium Backup?

Did you forget to allow root access in superuser for TB?

I would try these 2 things:

1. download busybox installer from market then re-install busybox

2. click on problem in TB and download busybox from TB itself.

Mine is working fine without issue.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mac10334:
Working fine with mine and with the latest sprint MR

I am cool now. Just had to uninstall and reinastall Titanium and My Back up Pro(s). Then downloaded BusyBox. I have already made backups using both. Thanks for the replies
[General Questions and Answers] RedSpyderX:
Greetings,

With all this porting Android to Touchpad thing, Ive been getting interest in that topic. I know it all involves Kernels,Bootloaders, Linux and crap.

I do have some knowledge in ASS and a minimum with Linux but I would like to start learning about all that so I could start messing with it myself and maybe contribute with the community in the future.

The thing is I dont even know where to start. If any of you devs can give me a hand on what topics should I cover and the tools i might need I'll be very thankful.

Thanks in advance.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DIncLover:
I tried using the method in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1185104

Several questions:

I'm in the US and the box said Android US ... updated to build 8.6.5.9 Honeycomb 3.2

Does this mean I should use the US (8.6.5.9) v6.3 rootkit? What do TW, TB, and WW refer to? The box lists the letters WW after the wifi info... do I have WW or US?

I see people refer to B60, B70 sometimes being unable to root... where is this identification? My (Model?/Serial?) number begins with B80 . Does this mean I have model B80?

Regarding the details of my failure... I have the NVIDEA USB drivers installed, and when running the script, I DO confirm ADB is running -- it sees and reports my device. However pressing 1, which is supposed to upload a bootloader and then backup my image fails immediately... the nvflash command fails.

Am I doing something wrong? Do I have a model B80 which is unrootable?

Any help, links or pointers would be greatly appreciated. (BTW, rooting my HTC Incredible was extremely fast and painless... was hoping for a similar experience)

EDIT: Forgot to mention, I have USB debugging turned on
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muchoaliento:
Well, it seems Asus started manufacturing their Transformers with some sort of "lock" beginning with production batches starting with serial N° B70. You claim that yours is B80, so its pretty likely that at this time you can't flash yours until someone comes with a solution. :(

Hi

i have desire s dock station (non oryginal) and i d like to have autorotate home screen or start dock app when my phone is in it

so how does desire s detect dock?

does it have magnetic lik motorola droid or sth?

or it cannot detect and i have to lunch manually the app?

any ideas?

i use [ROM] [AUG 26] Desire S Gingerbread 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0 {v0.3} {EXT4 FS}
[HTC Desire S] korenisko:
Use tasker. It can launch dock app started by usb in or / and other state
[HTC Desire S] palkens:
i read aboaut it but can it for example lunch sth when i plug usb AND phone is landscape (read from gsensor) ??
[HTC Desire S] korenisko:
Yes, it can do that with all things you specified. I tried this with Tasker before a while. Buy tasker or download its trial from home page...
[HTC Desire S] palkens:
how!?!?!

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Modern-Tech...W8I4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1314535235&sr=8-1

is it only photoshoped or is it possible to rotate home?
[HTC Desire S] korenisko:
its not possible to rotate home screen sense.

But with Tasker, you can launch dock mode app, if you dock your desire S
[HTC Desire S] palkens:
im testing tasker at the moment but when i found that from my link !!

it is possible desire z rotate home screen when you open keyboard so it is possible

the question is hot to activate it !
[HTC Desire S] Valwit:
it is possible to rotate, there are threads about it. the dock detection may work like in the good old palm days: a certain resistor value on the usually unused 5th pin in the connector. depending on the valye the device will know if it is a dock or cable or whatever.
[HTC Desire S] Valwit:
ok got a dock myself, and indeed it's annoying if the screen does not auto rotate/auto launch dock mode. as menstioned before usually a resistor in the connector is responsible, but from what i found on forum, a value of 45-49kOhm shopuld do it. should, as it does not. it launches the car dock instead, not the home dock. however: 0-10 ohm will do :) basically all you need to do is connect the 4th pin (which is not connected at all) to ground. if in the home dock app the checkmark is set to auto launch then all is done. put the phone into the dock and the screen gets rotated and dock app launched autmatically.

seems like resistor values are different even between htc phones, there's a sensation thread with some resitor values and it seems not to work for my desire s
[HTC Desire S] palkens:
nice :)

but i build myself "case" for landscae dock to made it portrait :) (with LEGO bricks:P) and it works ;D

i ve done it becouse i found another disadvatage of dock app

i use bt headset and i couldnt dial up number withoud closeing dock app! so i had to just make my dock portarait:)

sry for my bad bad english
[HTC Desire S] old.splatterhand:
Hi, i'm also interested in this!

Maybe you can write (for someone who has nothing to do with cables) how you did that?
[HTC Desire S] Valwit:
Well, you take a piece of wire, connect one end to pin 4 (soldering will be the best opition) and the other end to the ground, which is very handy at pin 5. that's it.

of course you need to open the case, how you do that depends on the case itself. i had 4 screws at the botom.
[HTC Desire S] sirioo:
I really like it ..
[HTC Desire S] Valwit:
there are som infos, that you can use apktool to decode Rosie.apk, then edit the manifest.xml and changing "nosensor" to "sensor". recompile, upload to phone and it should rotate.

i tried but the rosie.apk i got back was about 60% of the original size, and simple exchanging the encoded xml did not work

Hey everyone.

Running CM 7.1 RC.

Everything is fine except:

I can't for the life of me answer calls. Everytime I answer, the speakers just don't work/connect. There is complete silence and no Static or signal to indicate that the speaker is working.

I

This is without any headsets.

The only thing I can think is the Scripts for Dolby (Dolby A, Dolby V etc) possibly interferring; But those scripts when running, were fine in other releases and in other roms.

Tried different with Kernals (LordMod) - No luck

Its proper weird as I have reflashed the CM 7.1 ROM again and the answer function works for a while only to revert back to not working again.

I can make calls fine though

. Just answering them is the issue; I'm using up my minutes this way!

I am not using nor installed CallRecorder or any such software.

Any help please people? Much appreciated.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROBINGAZI:
Have you tried a clean wipe (that's wipe data cache + formatting the system partition) and then installing a stock rom or a rom that has not been worked on too much.

I know this is a lame way but it could work. The reason I'm saying this is because a lot of issues people have can easily be pointed to the wipe not being done properly before rom flashing.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damaun:
Thx in advance for any help resolving this issue. I have a US T Mobile galaxy tab, model SGH-T849 with a T Mobile sim card. I used the Overcome guide to flash my ROM and it seemed to be working flawlessly. I can text message but I can not make phone calls or use the data services for internet. I am using kernel version 2.6.35.7 Overcome-v3.3.1 #101. Thx again for any help resolving this issue.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neurocutie:
I believe that Tmo specifically blocks its Gtabs (based on MEID) from any data services except that "approved" for tablet use (e.g. the $30/mo data option). This is one of the reasons why I bought an AT&T Gtab instead, to use on Tmo.

But I would think that voice calls should work as you as long flashed in the right modem... don't think they are blocking those, although they could (maybe they do, that's the problem?) Check your modem...

I flashed in Kratos on the AT&T tab and both Tmo voice and data work fine (limited to EDGE, though).

I'm using the modem from the T Mobile folder, I'll flash it again but is there a reason it would allow texting and no talking?

[WebOS Software and Hacking General] VeEuzUKY:
Im doing a lot of experimenting with the Touchpad always having this sour taste in my mouth... as a guy that loves his iPad and uses Android also on a few devices, I got a TouchPad more as a curiosity than anything else, JUST the day before of the announcement HP would discontinue it.

I bought it in Hong Kong where there are no "refunds" or "price adjustments".. I felt stupid and ripped-off when i first turned my touchpad on the NEXT morning after buying it to read on it the news that the pad and WebOS were canned... duh... anyway...

Stuck into having to love the TouchPad... I ended up loving it really!

Im now running it at 1.9GHz 100% stable! This thing is faaaaaaaaaaaaaaast! Makes my iPad2 and Android phones I have look like a joke!

But whats really special is the realization that WebOS is truly extraordinary... by fer the best OS for a tablet, EVER! What a loss that that the best Tab EVER is discontinued and the most elegant and accomplished OS for a tablet has been sentenced to death. Nothing touches WebOS, nothing! And nothing touches the speed of the Touchpad at 1.9Ghz! Ill use and love the Touchpad for as long as I can, even with limited apps and an OS that is frozen in time. What a great loss, this is just so amazingly great! If HP had launched this a year ago and seriously wanted to make it a success, this would be for sure the iPad/ Android tablet killer... my a million miles..

This shoots me to my question... how do I backup locally apps Ive installed on the TouchPad? Its a breeze on Android to have copies of all my APKs on my laptop but, how do I do it on WebOS if I have to reset the device and re-install everything?

And, is there anything like an equivalent to a NanDroid backup to do an exact bit-by-bit copy of the whole device and restore it if needed?

I wonder if/when something goes wrong if I can do more than having to re-install everything, re-download all apps and re-configure the Tab from scratch or just have a way to recover from a backup?

Thanks a million guys!! :)
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] goblue13579:
HP has a built-in cloud backup service under the settings tab in the launcher. I reset my 16 to sell it after I got a 32 and as soon as I logged into the 32 it asked me if I wanted to restore. It worked flawlessly. As far as local backups I'm afraid I can't help you out, but I question the necessity of them with the cloud system in place.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] VeEuzUKY:
Yes, I know U can backup to HP's cloud backup service but its a matter of time till HP fot sure discontinues the service! Then what? I even wonder how to activate a new device by then.. its a matter of time till HP pulls the plug in everything & we're be in the dark..
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] bfranclemont:
+1 There should be an option for doing local backups!

We can't rely on "cloud services" as the DR plan. Especially when no one has a solid understanding of what it is, and how long it will last. Today, the built in backup services work, but what about tomorrow?

[WebOS Software and Hacking General] Jive Turkey:
There's an app called Save/Restore that is useful for backing up more than what the built-in Backup app does. I think it's a Preware app. It doesn't work for all apps, however, but is still worth a look.

You can also try the following commands. I got these from a Pre- backup thread at PreCentral, so it might be a bit off:

cd / (press enter)
rootfs_open -w (press enter)
cd /media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/applications/ (press enter)
cp -rf com.appyouwant.tobackup /media/internal/ (press enter)
reboot (press enter)

As I am a noob and have fewer than 10 posts ill post my question here and hopefully get some feedback.

I did a clean install of Serendipity VII, about 10hours ago and I love it but with one fault.

The captivate version of this rom had the power button camera, but the infuse version has a new skinned camera(which I like) but the power button has the same functionality as a stock infuse.

Is my experience unique or is there a reason the camera mod has been left off this build?

Thank you for this great rom
