Hey Guys,

I for some reason flashed KTT16's Undergroud Sea Theme that I didn't know was meant for Joker's ROM. I used it on stock and after a while my status bar kept force closing...

So, I SBF'd my Photon and did all of the latest updates, went to use the ACS AIO Root, and it didn't work.

I got a bunch of errors, and it says after that I should now be rooted. But I'm not!

I've used the same AIO Root for my Photon all of the time, can someone repost a link to the AIO Root, maybe the files got distorted, or there's something wrong with my phone...

Any help?

[RESOLVED]
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
1- Factory Reset

2- Install drivers

3 - Then SBF to 154_5

4 - SBF to 198_7

5 - Try the torpedo method to root

Done.
[Motorola Photon 4G] deedscreen:
I had some bad AIO files.

This issue is now resolved.

Gracias for all of your help!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] deedscreen:
Dude, AIO (All-In-One) Root uses Torpedo, bro!!!

All made by my company --- ACS!!!

I am a Journalist, Researcher, & Press Release Director! I love ACS!

They make rooting the Photon so easy!

And you wonder why Shabby (Shabbypenguin) is so great??? He's an ACS Dev!!! We at ACS make it all happen!

(I swear on my life, if a mod decides to mark this as spam, you can go somewhere else, I am not advertising, I am just mentioning my job along with another user. Mark this as spam, and I will report you directly to XDA. ACS is a competitor, yes, but I am making a point not advertising!)

I've noticed some mods are spam infraction hungry when it comes to ACS, so I just wanted to put that out there.
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
What? You're a part of the ACS team?? :D LOL..I don't think there's anyone out there that DOESN'T know you write for ACS..;). Anyway, I mentioned the torpedo method of manually rooting because it sounded like AIO wasn't working for you.

[Motorola Photon 4G] deedscreen:
Now I see, lol... Yeah, I'm on sick leave right now so I won't be on ACS as a writer for a while but I am still the acting press release director, and doing press work, although I am on sick leave. I'll be back soon I hope. I can't wait to come back to ACS, but I can't right now :(.
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Sick leave? Didn't know bloggers had sick leave... :p
[Motorola Photon 4G] ScottieRotten:
For closure incase someone else does the same thing. What was the resolution?
[Motorola Photon 4G] deedscreen:
I would PM you why, but it's really no big secret. I was diagnosed with a connective tissue joint disorder and will need physical therepy and medication. I have to wait a few week for my PT but I'm on the pain meds, and I'm just dragging along the forums while I recover... it causes chronic pain... meds are helping, now on to PT and Physical Conditioning.
[Motorola Photon 4G] deedscreen:
Just re-download the AIO Files. Google "Motorola Photon 4G XDA Forums ACS AIO Root" anf you should find it, then click on the download link.

My files just got corrupted over time. This is very rare to happen to anyone, files rarely get corrupted. I used the same exact files months ago to root my replacement Photon, and over time they just got a little corrupted. That's all...

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trell959:
Find the apk and that pushes the updates. Isn't it FOTA?

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] comegalletas:
Hello to all;

I have came across the app. Pdroid (for managing security settings in my phone); and I´m really interested into installing it; even thou I didn´t catch exactly what to do (even with the patch creator for Windows).

My fear resides into the use of Gingerreal 1.4 Rom, so here´s my question...

Does anyone using Gingerreal 1.4 for Ace have compiled the patch ?

If yes, would you care to share it or at least give me more instructions into how to create the patch myself ?

This is the link to the app:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1357056

Thanks a lot for the support.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] comegalletas:
Some help... ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] comegalletas:
Hello to All;

I have obtained help from user "frsp2" on the Pdroid Topic, here is the link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1357056&page=65

He help creating a patch to install Pdroid in my Ace and the Gingerreal 1.4 ROM.

So here are the links for the patch

Im using Ginger Real 1.4

SGA-GR-1.4_GINGERBREAD.XWKPW

http://www.mediafire.com/?qjpbq5bt0xanmpw - patch

http://www.mediafire.com/?ooc9wd8bwg9lw50 - reverse patch

And here some desctiption of Pdroid:

PDroid allows blocking access for any installed application to the following data separately:

Device ID (IMEI/MEID/ESN)

Subscriber ID (IMSI)

SIM serial (ICCID)

Phone and mailbox number

Incoming call number

Outgoing call number

GPS location

Network location

List of accounts (including your google e-mail address)

Account auth tokens

Contacts

Call logs

Calendar

SMS

MMS

Browser bookmarks and history

System logs

SIM info (operator, country)

Network info (operator, country)

For device ID, phone and mailbox number, SIM serial, subscriber ID and device location it also allows supplying custom or random values.

Why you would want to use it:

Applicaitons do NOT crash when access to private data is blocked (unlike with Permissions Denied or CM)

Fine-grained tuning of access to private data

No background service needed

Very small memory footprint (~700KB)

No impact on battery life

No impact on performance (5ms overhead on access to private data; yes, that's 0.005s)

100% reliable unlike ROOT applications (LBE), which need to start their background service on boot (see android underground to learn why this is an issue)

No ROOT required for the app to run

No Android permissions required for the app to run

Open-source

I have found that many apps require permissions even when not open... so I´m very happy with this tool, hopefully can be useful to others.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfdos.sys:
Before I help my wife's poor Epic 4g,

Does the camera app on CM7 nightlies have panoramic photo abilities that the Samsung Gingerbread has?

If no, is it possible to get the Samsung Camera App.... and get it to run on this?

Thanks in advance,

gfdos
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silpher:
If panoramic is in the CM7 camera app, I can't for the life of me find where to turn it on, so I'm going to say it's not there.

As far as getting the Samsung camera apk to work, I believe it is inherently part of the TouchWiz structure and can't be ported over to AOSP. Probably have to find a third party camera app that can do it, but I don't have any recommendations. It's probably the only thing I'm not happy about regarding CM7; definitely not a deal breaker, but I miss it. I recently took a trip to Peru and mostly took shots with my little Sony ultracompact, but any time I wanted an instant panoramic, I'd whip out my Epic.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
I thought there are panoramic camera apps in the Market.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nevrlow:
There are pana cam apps in the market. Cm7s cam is an aosp so it wont have all the goodies :(
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquiddetox:
Pano is what I use. It is a paid app but I like it a lot.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinydude100:
Perhaps they'll incorporate Panorama in CM9, as ICS Stock's Camera has Panoramic. ;)
[G1 General] kyle_engineer:
I have a broken G1, the screen is shot, and something else is screwed up, because it won't process anything. Once it boots it shows the background for a moment, then the lock screen comes on, but without a background. Then it looses all functionality. I can't get it to do anything. However, what's interesting, is that if I get an incoming call, I can answer using the button (not screen), and talk normally. Anyway, I want to know if there is a way, probably using ADB to get all my contacts minimally (since they're not all sync'd w/ Google), but ideally I would like to make a system image from it and run it in one of the emulators (Eclipse, Spring Source or Android SDK is what I have installed now). Any help would be awesome. There are also a few nandroid backups that I could use somehow, but they are a little old.
[G1 General] AndDiSa:
As far as I know, contacts data is stored in a sqlite-database which is located on /data. As long as you can connect with adb to your phone, you can copy that database to your pc and analyze it using sqlite3.

In this article you can find some additional information. It's a bit old, but still valid and at least it can give you a hint.

If you cannot access to your phone using adb, you can also extract the contacts.db from your latest nandroid backup. You can use unyaffs or mount your image on a linux system as yaffs file system and extract the file(s) you want. Then you can use again sqlite3 to extract the contacts data.

The same way, you can extract other data. It's enough to concentrate on the /data partition of the G1. As long as adb is running, you can copy them to your local PC, if not, you need to extract them from your latest nandroid backup in the same way I described above.
[G1 General] demkantor:
there is an awesome application called droid explorer (i forget the developers name) that you can download free to your pc (probably mac too) if you have usb debugging turned on then all you have to do is plug your phone into pc via usb.

when your phone comes up you have all the options you need here plus more!

seriously i recommend it to everyone. i use it at work sometimes to access my phone without getting caught, it has a great screen-cast function (a bit laggy)

if you dont have usb debugging turned on then look in the forum how to do it via adb. if you cant find droid explorer let me know and i can put it in my dropbox.

another option is get a used g1 from ebay and swap motherboards. or just fix your screen or whatever the problem is
[G1 General] kyle_engineer:
Ok... So I did a little snooping via adb, and fortunately I did leave usb debugging on, so that's a plus. Now there were 2 things that I've tried pulling:

/data/data/com.android.contacts

and

/data/data/com.android.providers.contacts

Unfortunately, these both just gave me .xml files that only had a few lines of code, none of which included contacts or any kind of useful info.

@AndDiSa: I'm going to read the linked article now, but currently I don't have anything useful from /data. Any tips on how I would go about extracting the contacts.db? Articles or links are always great!

@demkantor: I will check that out. Since I don't really know how messed up the phone is, I don't know how useful droid explorer will be, but it sounds like a good utility anyway.

I don't really feel like getting parts for my phone. It's already waaaay behind the curve, and while it's a super fun phone to mess around with, I think it's time to move to something new (like the Droid 1 that I got as a toy phone/media player since I don't have verizon).

Anyway, further help appreciated! :)

(Oh, and I have to replace the digitizer for my Droid. LOL)
[G1 General] AndDiSa:
I am not on my PC at the moment, but try to look for

/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db

at least in GB this should be the right file or do a

find /data -name "cont*db" -print

in adb shell to look for it.
[G1 General] kyle_engineer:
I'll check it out tomorrow and let you know how it goes. Thanks! :D
[G1 General] kyle_engineer:
OK! Good news. I found the contacts2.db and was able to pull it. I got SQLite3.exe and started messing around with it. Now what I tried from the link didn't work, as I couldn't get the .db file imported, and don't really know how to declare that as the target of commands. Using the .tables or .databases commands didn't get any results either. .databases just said something like 0-Main and 9-local or something. Do you know how to pull this part off? :D Hope to hear back soon.

Thanks,

kyle_engineer
[G1 General] AndDiSa:
Didn't try to use sqlite3 on windows yet, on the phone, you need to do

sqlite3 contacts2.db

> .dump

and you will get all content of the database dumped as sql statements.
[G1 General] kyle_engineer:
Awesome man!!! the .dump worked and I was able to actually get a table output on the screen. Now I just need ot know how to make that something printable (ideally), and I need to try it with my actual G1, not my Droid1... I'll thank you tomorrow when it's done. :D
[G1 General] kyle_engineer:
Ugh! :(

So I've been able to correctly import a .db from my droid 1 and get it properly printed on the screen using sqlite3. That worked fine. Now I've pulled the .db from my G1 (which has the needed contacts), and I can't get it to print correctly. Here is what I'm dealing with...

SQLite3 version 3.7.20
Enter ".help? for instructions
Enter SQL statements terminated with a ";"
sqlite> .tables
_sync_state settings
_sync_state_metadata status_updates
accounts v1_settings
activities view_contacts
agg_exceptions view_contacts_restricted
android_metadata view_data
calls view_data_restricted
contact_entities_view view_groups
contact_entities_view_restricted view_raw_contacts
contacts view_raw_contacts_restricted
data view_v1_contact_methods
groups view_v1_extensions
mimetypes view_v1_group_membership
name_lookup view_v1_groups
nickname_lookup view_v1_organizations
packages view_v1_people
phone_lookup view_v1_phones
properties view_v1_photos
raw_contacts
sqlite>

From here, no matter what I try to use the .schema and "select * from XXXX" on, I don't get any user friendly table like I did with the other .db file... could something be messed up with this .db?

Please let me know when you get a chance. :)

Thanks in advance!

When i have a stock kernel phone seems fine although i think every rom but stock requires a kernel for wifi and some features to work properly?

So i have faux kernel now. I've tried many if not all versions matched with all the roms the devs have made( no over clock by me) after about 10 mins of surfing net phone shuts off and if i dont touch it it will just boot loop never reaching the desktop until i pull the battery.

Is this faulty phone hardware?

Does anyone else have this problem?

Stock rom would be fine but has carrier IQ...

Love the site, community,devs.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Totòòò:
huh weird ...Faux kernel has never caused anykind of reboots..
[HTC Amaze 4G] jjlean:
It's the kernal not faulty hardware. Common- yes

And people say that I'm sarcastic.

OP, if stock is stable then use stock. ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
Ok, downloaded Trinity, booted to came wiped cache and dalvik and then flashed Trinity and rebooted. It booted with the Trinity boot animation, went to a black screen (as expected) and stayed there for 30 minutes. I expected that it could take a little time but 30 minutes was a stretch. Battery was at full.charge with USB cable connected.

Anyone have any idea's as to why it didn't work or should I just try it again? I grabbed the overclocked one earlier today and dl'ed it from my phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kwes1020:
Some of the kernels get outdated as newer nightlies come out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
Shouldn't matter, running the RC/stable release not nightly.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
You should listen to what Kwes said... he is right you would have to revert back to about 3ish months ago kernels... new ones will not work with old versions of CM
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kwes1020:
Exactly. The kernels get updated with the nightlies not the "stable" releases. You could actually probably go back a month or so because that's the last time the kernel changed I think.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
I get what you're saying now. I thought you were thinking that I was running CM nightly.

As an update, I tried the earlier version listed on his website and that didn't work either thought I did something interesting.

I decided to just restore the boot from my nandroid (half as an experiment) and that resolved it not booting. Now I looked in the actual zip for the kernel and there are a few files which are system files but the actual kernel I guess doesn't remain since the kernel version is no different.

Another interesting factor is that there is now boot sound, which I saw on another thread being talked about so, if it's a matter of a few files why hasn't someone (outside of CM team) just upped the files with the needed code in them?

So, now back to me getting trinity on this thing, I guess I should just install the latest nightly and see if that works. I'm at work right now so if I have customers I can't be watching my phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kwes1020:
When I run cm I always use the gigglebread kangs they are always pretty good and very stable.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
I'll try that, I assume you mean here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1362451.

I'm also going to wait to grab it, I'm still throttled until tomorrow or hte next day. I still need to call them and ask why I had data on 2g count against my "High-speed" data usage.

Also, I noticed that my wifi tether doesn't work, not a huge deal, just means I need to have some more time on my hands to see what those files do exactly. That or make someone I know do it for me....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kwes1020:
No that's not it I sent you a pm.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
Got it, thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
Trinity kernel is not compatible with that release. There's no reason to run that release anyways, go get baldwinguys CM7 kang, which isn't really a kang and is just adding the nightly features because cyanogens bot is down.

---------- Post added at 02:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 AM ----------

I always wondered, what is different about gigglebread?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
Funny, when a friend of mine mentioned he was running a nightly my replay was something to the effect of: I don't mind having my web browser be a nightly release but I'm not too sure I want to have something potentially unstable that barely works on my phone. I also feel like I'm missing something on these nightlies, afaik, you have to completely wipe your system and flash it then reinstall all your apps, reconfigure them, and reconfigure your system settings. That's just too much work, I don't have the time to do that even weekly.

Sounds like my question: What IS a gigglebread?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kwes1020:
Nah nightlies are as stable or more stable then rc builds on cm7. No need with all that wiping really. Unless you are going to something other then cm7 or you change your file formats.

Gigglebread is just what euroskank calls their cm7 cherry pick kangs.

Gigglebread=gingerbread skankwich=ics lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
Well by that logic, I must flash it immediately. I was going to flash it anyways just because "skank" is one of my favorite words. The other is "dank."
