oddly he's had over 300 posts and is a "senior member" :S in response to OP... I think there might be but it is highly recommended that you do NOT use it as it is known to have a high risk of bricking your phone. Just use the complex method, it isn't actually THAT hard, i did it in an after-noon with absolutely no prior experience.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] selfinflicted1:
If you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself you can pm me and I can point you to some great guys that will set up a remote session and root it for you. They can also change hboot, install roms or what ever you want. The vision is a bloody biach to root if you can't use adb. Anyway figured I would put that out there rather than bash you senseless. Lol. (All in good spirits)
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] add119:
Bro im new the g2 only had it for 1 week a day i had other android phone i hack with one click root. I know how to turn HBoot off,CMR and flash apps,roms but i dont like to deal with hard root method.

I had almost 10 android phones Motorola cliq, Motorola droid OG, droid incredible,hero,g1,vibrant,epic,fascinate and HTC G2.

Just didnt hack the cliq and at moment this device yet.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] rirozizo:
but just to be clear... i'm not saying to you that you are a noob... i'm just pointing at the video... it was hilarious... and come one man! you are a senior member and you didn't use the search button... plus, lets say you didn't... theres a sticky in the forum saying "do NOT use VISIONary (one of the 1 click root apps) high risk of bricking" (or something like that)

again... not offending anyone here... i'm not special, neither are you...

Oh **** why is bricking the phone i would assume because of htc g2 being vanilla android like original Motorola droid. I thought it wouldnt be easy to get bricked.

I got galaxy s vibrant brick for stupid reason delete some important files.

But wow I guess im going to do Hard method root, which i dislike but thanks for head up.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] selfinflicted1:
I was gonna point out that the ota makes it so visionary wont work any way. So if you updated to 2.3.3+ it would be useless anyway.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] add119:
your right because my htc g2 runs android 2.3.5 os the only reason i would root is to get Android 4.0 Ice cream sandwich unless Htc release it and even then i like cyanogenmod i miss his rom tv animation and the custom options he have i had on my droid incredible,galaxy s phones. Cant be replace not even on stock roms.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] hassan2ray:
g2

pming whats up,i missed cyanogenMod too bro.how i do the one click method from gingerbread crap? hit me at twitter @phatgearatl..
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Karakoram2:
Even on froyo I was having trouble with abd. Chmod and permission and seeing the phone errors. Print out Guhl, Nipqur and others instructions and save yourself the headache and pay someone on craigslist to do it.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] add119:
i was thinking the same idea, thinking about paying someone that can root phone . But, i didn't want my phone getting messed up by them either. I have money and i'm think about it . But if their going to root my phone; it will just be to get superuser the rest I do it on my own.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] redpoint73:
1-click root solutions don't work on the G2 due to the fact the NAND memory chip is write protected purposely by HTC. Older HTC phones don't have this protection, and newer HTC devices have even more protections, such as locked bootloaders. Newer Moto phones have locked bootloaders also. I don't really follow Moto much, but I'm guessing like HTC, older Moto phones were not as protected. Samsung and LG, on the other hand typically have very little protection against root, and very easily rooted. That is why 1-click root solutions exist for those phones.

HTC's claim is that they are protecting themselves from customers that root the phone, then damage the phone in the process of installing custom ROMs (or other mods), then try to return the phones under warranty. Sounds a little BS to me, but I guess only they know how many people try to send in phones for warranty, which they damaged by trying to mod it.

Is it the Wiki root method you have been looking at? http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD

I think most here agree, this is the best/safest root method. Its really not that hard. It seems long, but lots of the steps are just downloading a bunch of files, and the steps are spelled out in great detail (which is a good thing - makes for a long guide, but also prevents you from getting confused). Other than that, you just type a bunch of commands into ADB. And if you haven't used ADB (Android Debug Bridge), its handy to know how to use it, anyway.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] add119:
yeah your right phone like htc mytouch 3g,g1,htc hero,droid eris, droid incredible and nexus one dont have that problem to do 1 click root .

Same with Motorola with original droid, but cliq is having same issue like the new phones. It isn't an old factor it custom user interface that manufacture, put on their phone that prevent from 1 click root access.

Samsung galaxy s another phone that you can 1 click root.

Im just going to pay someone to root my phone to solve my problems. Then i flash by myself Clockwork mod recovery and flash the rom i like and the kernals.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] rirozizo:
i just wish we were at the same country... then i could do that to you for free... why pay when theres a free way...

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] selfinflicted1:
Try. halfcab123.com. they can do it with a remote session. Pretty much anything you need
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] uvt_novice:
Solution for easy root, sim-unlock, etc. DZ/G2 is here, just click and follow OP. I say it's 100% working and no need to be Prof.

Note: if you have G2 and updated last T-Mobile's Gingerbread, then you have to downgrade it to be able to root.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] killj0y:
As a side note I also think it's bs since root customers who actually do warranty returns or repairs have got to be like 1% of their total returns and repairs...
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] subedaman:
I have been looking for an easy way to root my friends G2 for a while now, and this seems pretty easy. I think I might give this a go.

Hi, is there a port of iphone keyboard for android (nexus s preferably)? Ive tried a lot of keyboards on mobile phones and the iphone one felt most comfortable. Im curretly using the htc one which is good, but not so much. So, is it somewhere?

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] djwyman:
When I went from iPhone to the Samsung captivate I really liked smart keyboard. Now I really like the GB jey board...the only complaint I have with the ics keyboard is the lack of a caps lock.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] cahir_cz:
Tried the ICS one, pretty nice. Guess ill stick with it
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ljordan2:
Yup. But there is a skin called "Cupertino" and that is closer to iphone keyboard.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Ryjabo:
That's weird... I tried a couple of the ICS ROMs and I didn't notice. Then again... I don't often type in all caps. Maybe Google is trying to do us all a favor (if you're right), hehe
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] nbeebe24:

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] HeavenlyWinds:
Why the iPhone keyboard? I personally hate it, doesnt work for me. One of the main reasons i sold my 3GS and got a Sensation back in the days. I use SwiftKey X and Swype, best keyboards ever.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] diegoveloper:
Did you try 'Itap keyboard'? market.android.com/details?id=sixgreen.aos.itap

;)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] info[]box1:
Yeah itap dies favor the iPhone keyboard. Good find
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] kaisernose:
ICS keyboard for free,SwiftKey X for 2,99euro...
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] RushAOZ:
Slow down a bit haters. I hate apple and the iphone just as much as you folks. But I was an iphone guy at one point and. I. Have to admit the onscreen iphone kb is the best keyboard I have ever used. And I've tried them ALL. (currently using SwiftKey x) I was able to type on my iphone with my eyes closed.. Something I wasnt/still not able to do so far on my epic, evo and nexus. IMO gingerbread keyboard plus is as close as your going to get. The reason is because just like the iphone keyboard, you can remove the comma and period from your bottom row. Also the spacing between keys on the iphone keyboard is greater. Anywho, yes itap works. Be careful though. There's an iphone kb for android out there that logs your keystrokes :O

I will be starting college next semester for my first time practically with a major in CIS. I am interested in Linux development and more specifically Android development. Also web page development. I'm not entirely new to linux or android but I've never built a ROM or anything of that nature. My question is what classes should a freshman majoring in CIS be looking to enroll in. I'm sure I'll need Java and C but not sure what else. thanks for your help.

[Off-topic] I_am_Error:
If you're particularly interested in Linux and Android those are both embedded systems. To some classes have classes dedicated specifically to embedded systems and kernel development (I'm taking one soon). In order to do this you'll need to know how to code and learn more about memory stacks and the way computer memory is allocated down to the very last bit.

I suggest learning java to start off. And kernels are actually coded in C. So you'll have to learn coding basics and get more in depth as you progress. As a freshman I would start off with learning java, I also suggest you take some of your own time to learn about kernel development before you actually take the class. :)

[Off-topic] Kailkti:
Cool, I know how to code in c. Problem is java. xD Well I can more or less tell what a basic to average java code says, but can't write one. xD

Guess i'll hit up the schools on embedded systems and such.
[Off-topic] I_am_Error:
You don't NEED to know java, but it really helps understanding the concepts as C is a little more complicated than Java. :p Funny thing is, EVERY OS have a kernel. Even windows. Most people don't know that. :p

-We do what we must because we can; for the good of all of us, except the ones who are dead-
[Off-topic] Kailkti:
Really? I thought java would be more complicated seeing as how c seems very robust, if I may say, and seems limited, e.g. cannot really have GUI.

I found out about windows having kernels last year too. Com sci at my high school is awesome which is why i want to take it up at college also. xP
[Off-topic] I_am_Error:
The thing that makes java easier is because it's object oriented. C is not...the fact that it's not so limited and anything can be anything (A string variable can even be an int.) is actually what makes it difficult for some people to grasp the concept. AND java can have a gui, Android applications are actually coded in hand, I'm also taking a course on java GUIs and all that nice stuff next semester too.

-We do what we must because we can; for the good of all of us, except the ones who are dead-
[Off-topic] Archer:
Java and C share a lot of similarities, but generally speaking C is not object oriented, but Java is (C can be and Java doesn't have to be, but that's generally the way it is).

Object orientation is something that takes learning, regardless of what language it's in. It's a very powerful programming technique (if that's the correct word) that has a lot of advantages over non-OO programming techniques, and that obviously comes with a learning curve.

Definitely worth getting into, especially for app development.
[Off-topic] I_am_Error:
Stole the words right out of my mouth bud :)

-We do what we must because we can; for the good of all of us, except the ones who are dead-
[Off-topic] Kailkti:
Oh no i was talking about c programs not being able to really have a GUI, not java.

That's what I hate about my school in a way though, they switched from java to c.

Now that you mentioned it, I thought all other programming language allowed a string to contain numerical values since they are characters also, but I guess not. Guess that's another reason as to why c is still so popular due to its universitality.
[Off-topic] I_am_Error:
Well, a String can be an int but not really. More so, you're doing this String example = "126"; which make it equal to the characters. Not like String otherExample = 126; See the difference?

Plus, people use c because c "speaks" directly to the hardware. As a opposed to java which doesn't speak past the environment that java has set up for itself. C is an extremely useful language and I don't think it's going anywhere in the programming world.

-We do what we must because we can; for the good of all of us, except the ones who are dead-
[Off-topic] Kailkti:
More or less i think i get what you're saying.

I see, so c speaks to the machine (now i see why it's used for the kernel development) while java only speaks on say a speak virtual machine level.
[Off-topic] I_am_Error:
Basically. :) That right there is more or less the reason why people code in C.

Honestly, likely whatever your adviser says you should take. For my college, computer science courses are taken on a "if it's offered, take it. You can't afford to wait until next time it's offered." That being said, you probably will be lucky to take any until 2nd semester. You have gen eds to finish, which will probably fill up your schedule for at least a year (I'm not taking any major courses until 2nd semester of sophomore year).

In short, don't worry, you'll have time to feel it out and won't be slammed with a crapton of computer science courses and not know what to do.
[Off-topic] skinnyveganboy:
Thanks a bunch for all your inputs. My wife and I are going to major together so we can bounce assignments off eachother and such. I know one of the college's admissions councilors so I'll just ask here what she recommends we take. but I think the most important thing we've all learned from this thread is that 'crapton' is one word... :)

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] a1exus:
is there a way to utilize internal storage that's allocated for bn content after you get root?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] orlandoxpolice:
Check out anlogs post in the dev section
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] suicideclown:
It is my understanding that root and gapps hack places gapps in system folder and grants it access to installing apps and app related data, books, music, etc on the partition 15GB section. However, the usb downloaded content goes to the 1GB partition.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] anlog:
Once you are rooted you can store all the files you want on /data (there is around 11-12GB free by default). App installs also go to /data. The problem is that when you connect the Nook to your PC it only mounts /mnt/media and /sdcard. You would need to copy your files temporarily to to an SD card and then move them to /data (from the Nook) for long term storage.

The other issue would be media apps not scanning and seeing the files on /data. Some apps let you add additional search paths, so /data would be better suited for large movies, PDFs, and other files that you would normally launch with a file manager.

We are working to get the partitions swapped, but without the ability to write custom boot images we might be stuck (for now).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jdebay:
I have the 1gb limit for Nook Tablet and solved it as follows with this workaround:

Your nook tablet must be rooted to even see the additional storage and you must access it

through a file explorer like Root Explorer or ES File Explorer - it cannot be accessed via

a PC running Windows or linux. Make sure you go into settings of ES File Explorer and tick

Root Explorer and Mount File System.

I store my media (videos, mp3's, etc. )

in the /data/media directory

and - I started with about 12Gb free.

YOU MUST set the directory to be R/W using ES File Explorer and changed the permissions to

allow "others" full read, write and execute (again using ES File Explorer).

I copy files to my sdcard that I want to store in /data/media directory, and then copy to

/data/media area where I want them to be stored. After copy and test, then delete from

sdcard.

I was then able to access the files in /data/media with ES File Explorer.

I use ES File Explorer to locate mp3 file for single play of music or use Meridian to play

albums.

I use ES File Explorer to locate avi file, touch file name and pop up suggests MoboPlayer.

Enjoy your Nook Tablet (rooted).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GShans:
I'm using ES File Explorer on the NT to link to my PC via WiFi and copying over large media files to /data. Had a few problems with this at first, but a bit of Google research fixed it up.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mac4rfree:
If i use Wifi to transfer data, will it be consider as downloading??? because i have fixed amount data i can download...

Can somebody clarify that..

Cheers!!!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GShans:
If you're PC and your Nook Tablet are both connected to the same router, then it should not affect any bandwidth caps you may have. No data is leaving the house.

--G.Shans
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ChillFactorz:
I have been using Android Commander for Windows to see the Nook Tablet's file system. I am new to this software but I was able to download .apks to my pc then install to device, within Android Commander. I am also able to read, write, change Permissions, copy files, push files, reboot device, and more all from my PC. there might be better software, but this was free software and from a Dev from the XDA community. hope this helps somebody else, or start a conversation on alternatives or if their is better, but for now this is my choice.

[Motorola Droid X2] phoenix2217:
Hey Guys,

Im trying to add parts to a theme I'm using. I've themed quite a bit on my captivate and Infuse 4G. This has me stumped though.

Now, for the simple parts im using UOT. Specifically the notification drop down. I'm trying to theme the header, notification, footer etc. Everytime I try it dosen't work. None of the files are replaced. I can see a few of them looking through the framework-res and systemUI res folders. Some of them I can't. They seem to be in diferent places or renamed compared to the captivate systemUI and framework. I've tried three different times and no go.

Question is...Are the notifcation drop down images renamed or in different places on MOTO roms? Any hints for a MOTO nub trying to theme? :)

I appreciate any help. Thank you.
[Motorola Droid X2] Kevin3328:
What images are u talking about.. dropdown notifications are in system ui.. when u use the kitchen make sure u click amend script b4 finishing motor and blur r more dependencies than anything in a custom rom
[Motorola Droid X2] IDMA.DROID.X2:
If your talking about the status bar, you can't use UOT Kitchen to theme it, it will give you errors! Not sure why, just how it is :(
[Motorola Droid X2] Mr.Jibbens:
My memory is horrible and and I haven't touched this in a few days but I can give the places to look and if you change them at all it should be pretty apparent which did what. Sorry, I don't have enough time right now to give a detailed answer.

SystemUI.apk > res > drawable-hdpi > statusbar_background.9.png

--- I believe this is the status bar at the top of the screen

SystemUI.apk > res > drawable-hdpi > title_bar_portrait.png

--- I believe this is the notification toggle background if you have them

SystemUI.apk > res > drawable-hdpi > (toggle buttons if you have them... right at the top of the folder)

SystemUI.apk > res > values > drawables.xml

--- shade_bgcolor is.... not sure :/ the notification header I believe (it was a nasty blue bar for me that says "no notifications" most of the time :P)

--- notification_header_text_color is the color of the text on that header

--- notification_number_text_color I'm not even sure if it's visible. I've never seen it and haven't changed it at all.

framework-res.apk > res > drawable-hdpi > status_bar_background.png

--- not completely sure if this changes anything but figured I'd throw it in

--- right after this is the status_bar_item_background_(focused/normal/pressed).9.pngs and they are the notification items that pop up, change color on press, etc.

The clear all button, I believe, is in SystemUI somewhere, pretty sure it's an xml.

The minus button that appears on the notification to clear is an image also in SystemUI I believe.

I think that's everything for the notification and status bar. Sorry again for the less informative answer. When I get home from work I'll try and check to see if you asked any more questions and I should have more time to explain the little I do know. Really hope this helped and good luck with the theme-ing! Looking forward to seeing new themes come for the X²!
