I remember the alpha

Glad you worked on this, will download and give it a try.

First Impressions

Okay here is what I have found

- My WIFI doesn't connect to my home internet. I use WEP and get the "Unable to connect due to an incorrect password or network issue" message.

- Rosie loading shows "Share via".... message

- when pressing the menu from Rosie, the settings button has the message "Hide Caption" and the middle bottom button looks like a moon with clouds? also it seems to bring up google search.

- when in app drawer, press menu button, all buttons look funky (from snow flake to clouds to clouds with a moon). A couple of the buttons cause Rosie to crash.

- like the 8 screens

How many times it was suggested that users read the thread from the beginning to see what bugs were discussed about and what is under being fixed. :cool:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zFr3eak:
fixing wifi and camera is a bit problematic will work on it tomorrow again i guess i found the wifi fix now. sorry for that delay
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JassyNL:
No problem! I really look forward to this ROM, without WiFi it's a bit useless for me! :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] uvt_novice:
You can always PM me if you need tester :).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zFr3eak:
sorry for no updates right now. having limited time and the time i have i investigate in ics sense 3.6. and fixing the wlan and camera problems on other devices
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zFr3eak:
temporary on hold until i get ics sense done for desire hd... no time for this right now... sorry
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] uvt_novice:
Does this mean that one day soon we will see Sense 3.6 available for our device as well???:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] VaderSKN:
I tried to fix wifi in build.prop file, but it didn't worked :( And I love this rosie, but it's useless without wifi for me too
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zFr3eak:
i am putting this on hold because i have no time left for this port. there are sense 3.6, sense 4 - it is more important for me. if someone want to pick this up feel free to do it with credit
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
So I decided to get a case for my Galaxy Nexus... About 4 of them! I figured at $2 - $4 each, one of them has to be nice :-)

I'm expecting them to arrive in about two-three weeks.

Are you guys interested in a review of each of them? I know some of you will only use expensive brand name cases, but I can't justify $40 for a piece of plastic, so the review might help those who just want to be frugal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
yes, reviews please!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cyberfreak95:
I picked up this one for $4 - http://www.ebay.com/itm/270877978270?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

I'm happy with it, although the seller seems to have jacked up the price to $19. Not worth that much, but it's worth $4 for sure and it only took a week and a half to get it from HK.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] betcmrekoapl:
Please do. I spent all my money on the nexus so I can only afford one ultra cheap case for it lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] allen2oo3:
i got this one a while back:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/11079488912...NX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_963wt_1163

it wont snap shut on the bottom of the phone. should fit the gsm version though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] betcmrekoapl:
^^glad you said something I was just minutes away from purchasing that very case
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dkotoric:
I got this one, I really like it but I only put it on when I go running with my nexus, I normally never use cases otherwise on any of my phones.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitedragon551:
I have a 16Gb Class 4 MicroSD card. Ill be putting my music from my iPod over on to it plus some other stuff I have. Should total around 8Gbs worth of stuff.

Im looking for a music app that will allow me to keep great battery life, simple, nice/intuitive interface. Album art and lyrics arent necessary. Perhaps something with a nice EQ.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GhostlyExit:
Google Music is great, but not necessarily what you are looking for. It's main purpose is to free up space on your card by streaming music from the cloud.

I've only used that, and the built in player for CM7. Both worked great.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtmerrick:
PlayerPro has a great UI, skins, and an addon equalizer you can download. I love it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
I like using the Standard HTC Android player. With either DSP, or Beats Audio it has really great sound.

Best one has to go to poweramp

Sent from teh epic pony using XDA Premium
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sintaku:
I use a mix of poweramp for music on my SD card and Spotify for music streaming.

PowerAmp is pretty good, you can try the trial and see if you like it before you buy which is great.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitedragon551:
Any more suggestions? PlayerPro and DSP slow my phone down bad.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Denzil@OvatiStudios:
Hello all,

I'm new to XDA, looking forward to talking to you folks, so here goes my first post

I like using these 3 music apps

3 - I think its called cubed but yeah search "3". Very nice music app with a slick UI. The only reason I don't use this solely is because its shuffle feature isn't so great, a lot of repeating songs, other than that its great. Free and donate version

Zimly - Nice media player with a few options I don't need but I use it anyway. Free

MixZing - This player has very nice widget options as well as EQ settings, lyrics, artist biographies...I could go on. and its all free

I was going to post links but as I'm a newbie I'm not allowed to do that yet
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duso33:
PowerAmp

In my oppinion, the best music app is a PowerAmp. It has great design and fuctions.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruoling:
I am using poweramp right now, it's perfect, beatuiful UI, skins, EQ
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cuerrix:
Yeah i would also recommend poweramp.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techmagic42:
personally im a big fan of google muic. with the skyrocket there was some ****ty samsung media player that couldnt locate some of my music. weird.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duso33:
Google music

Google music need more improvements and time. Maybe few months later.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devastator88:
PowerAmp or PowerMP (it's changing name to second one) but i offers great functionality and various of options (searching for album arts, eq and tag editor etc.)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marahadje:
First post for me and first to suggest Mortplayer. It's a fast and easy player with nice widgets.

I don't use genre playing etc. I have a sd card with folder MP3 and within that several folders. In Mortplayer I select the main folder and within that I choose my folder of music I want to listen.

It supports playlists, has a nice equalizer and just works great for me :) I have no wish to change to another player.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitedragon551:
After reinstalling PlayerPro it hasnt been as laggy. PlayerPro is what Im leaning towards due to its superior DSP tuning options. It offers the most bands of EQ from what I can see.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mostdef:

Hello Everyone

I have noticed in a few threads there is alot of talk that people cannot root the new GB firmware from LG I fiddled with all the current versions out there and have now rooted them all. Thanks to Ilko and alot of stuffing around..

Firstly IM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICK OR VOID WARRANTY THIS IS INFORMATION ONLY Ok now the formalitys are over and done with.

If you already have the latest of Ilko's Upgrade kit good for you if not I suggest you get it now if you dont know where it is here is a link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1111771 now you have the neccessary tools to root your phone (theres also plenty of other awesome stuff in there too) we will start.

STEP 1. Go to the UPK file you created while installing Ilko's kit and Install all the drivers in the kit (even if your sure you have them it wont hurt to re-install) make sure your phone is unplugged at this time. Keep your UPK file open.

STEP 2. On your phone Goto Settings>Development and check USB Debugging

STEP 3. Now plug your phone into your computer DONOT mount USB Mass Storage

STEP 4. Go back to the UPK window and select SuperOneClick and open it.You may get a administrator rights popup make sure you allow or click ok whatever it says.

STEP 5. You need to make sure you do this in the right corner of the window of SOC (Superoneclick) there is a drop down that says exploit take it from auto and select gingerbreak because auto uses PSnueter and it has been patched in most cases and will not work.

STEP 6. Your phone should still be plugged in to your PC now is the good stuff make sure you read this carefully now cos you may brick your phone I havent done it personally but my brother has but he is pretty stupid.

STEP 7. Click ROOT in SOC and wait if it pops up with your device is already rooted would you like to continue click yes (this pops up if you have rooted your device before and also if theres a temp root on your device) now it will get to Rooting step 6 and hang maybe even it will stop responding at this point goto the UPK and open SRP and allow it to run your phone will reset and SOC will continue and say your phone is rooted do the test although it not necerssarry and it will confirm.

FINALE. Go to the apps and you should see Superuser (little skull thingy as the icon) Please thank me if I helped you also thank Ilko and Chains both great guys

Any questions please post I will reply and help as I can

Thanks Cuzzo-
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Well if this method works, ur the big king from now on ;)

-edit- And you are sure you dont have Redy's repack installed? :D

But it sounds quite much like the way it might have happend to me, but since I tried to many different things, I couldnt tell which combination it was...

Oh and whats SRP? and which version of SOC do u use?
[LG Optimus Black] Cuzzo-:
LOL! just trying to help :)

SRP is a Shell root process in Ilko's Upgrade kit. I have used redy's repack but I have also flashed v20a and the Europe open v20n and tryed same method it works no problems.

The only reason you use the SRP is it refreshes the ADB and stops SOC from querying it at root step 6 so that the process continues Im using SOC v2.1.1
[LG Optimus Black] vince91:
Could you share SRP.exe ? It is no more in UPK.
[LG Optimus Black] exe127:
does anyone try ?
[LG Optimus Black] protozoa001:
I could not find "gingerbreak" on SOC, just 'auto' 'psneuter' & 'zergrush' in the drop down.

WHY? do I get a wrong version, it's 2.3.3.
[LG Optimus Black] exe127:
I cannot find SRP in UPK! please help
[LG Optimus Black] kdo_vi:
In UPK 3.6 there is not SOC and SRP.
[LG Optimus Black] exe127:
soc can download here:

http://shortfuse.org/?cat=4

but what is SRP ?

super root permission? No idea, have it appeared before?
[LG Optimus Black] wild_one_ro:
can anyone upload srp?? i cannot find it anywhere! thanks
[LG Optimus Black] exe127:
fail+ed! it is not feasible!
[LG Optimus Black] wild_one_ro:
have u tryed?
[LG Optimus Black] 1aca:
psneuter - patched

Gingerbreak - patched

zergRush - patched

So, what kind of exploit does SuperOneClick use?
[LG Optimus Black] exe127:
Yes, just try.

I am using super 1 click 2.3.3, because it hasn't the choice gingerbread to me, so I choose zergRush.

Then I start to root, everything is just follow the instruction till the SOC hangs.

Then, I open UPZ, there is no SPR exists, so I open BlackJack and it reboot my P970. After reboot, super1click back to normal but my p970 still unroot.
[LG Optimus Black] wild_one_ro:
maybe we need srp.exe!
[LG Optimus Black] adxgrave:
Does op even verified? There's no SRP or SOC in the latest upgrade kit yet he asked us to dl the latest version.
[LG Optimus Black] exe127:
where can I find it, can you provide a think to me?

In other word, the pack UPZ is totally useless
[LG Optimus Black] wild_one_ro:
if i had it, i'd share it :D
[LG Optimus Black] exe127:
thanks in advanced
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
lol... guys, SRP was my first release in order to follow the first method of getting root where SOC 1.9.5 was stuck. In fact, psneuter can't restart adb by itself, that's why SOC couldn't continue. Since it is totally obsolete, I don't recommend its using.

If you just need to kill adb server, create a new text file in an adb directory, paste the following then save it as KillADB.cmd :

@echo off
title Killing ADB server

echo Killing server
echo --------------
echo.
adb kill-server
echo.
echo.
timeout 5

run it to kill adb, so SOC will continue by running daemon again with its next command
[LG Optimus Black] exe127:
so is that work with SOC 2.3.3 and go to root?
[LG Optimus Black] 1aca:
To reiterate: all known vulnerabilities actively being used in rooting tools have been patched. Unless there's a new method I don't know about or LG easter-egged an exploit, I don't see how any of the existing tools could work.
[LG Optimus Black] wild_one_ro:
doesn't work
[LG Optimus Black] exe127:
Yes, I download the old super 1 click 2.2 here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682

with the choice of gingerbread. and I copy the text above, making a KillADB.cmd.

I need to run the KillADB several times as SOC hangs at step 5 and 7 to me.

Then, it finish its work but I saw a denied at the end.

which means FAIL! NOT WORK!
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
of course not, because for now, even if SOC is updated, exploits are still the same. Try by yourself by adding more exploits to the exploits folder of SOC dir, then select the one you want. Nothing will work.

If Nooby has succeeded, it's probably because he got an overflow, memory leak or somehting else. Whatever it is, it was a miracle !
[LG Optimus Black] exe127:
Now, I just download the lastest SOC 2.3.3 and combined the KillADB.cmd and gingerbread exploit, let me test again~

---------- Post added at 10:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 AM ----------

FAIL at the end
[LG Optimus Black] Cuzzo-:
Sorry guys for misinformation on Ilko kit. But this is not impossible When I finish work tonight I will make vid TUT it maybe when Srp trys to push Su I don't exactly know I assumed it was just adb need killing I will try make a script that can be used if so
[LG Optimus Black] exe127:
I strictly follow all steps from your instruction, but still fail.

(choosing gingerbread in SOC, run killADB after SOC hangs)

I got hangs at step 5 and step 7 in superoneclick

anyway, thanks!

I am using V20B hongkong version
[LG Optimus Black] advptg:
Rooting

Not working in V20B India
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Can anyone try the following:

Follow till step 6, and then when SOC seems to be stuck, dont run SRP, but Unlock Root.

Hope we will find a possibility together soon...

And btw, is anyone here from germany, who can lend me his phone for trying? Dont wanna have to reflash my phone everytime, just for testing pupose...
[LG Optimus Black] exe127:
Do you mean run SOC(choose gingerbread) but using unlock root instead of KillADB.cmd ?

my SOC stuck at step 5 but now step 6 , a difference to the instruction!
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Yeah, follow till the point, where you have to select gingerbreak, then click ROOT, program should get stuck now, LEAVE IT OPEN!

Open Unlock Root Program, click ROOT, select device and wait.

So yes, use Unlock Root instead of KillADB.cmd :)

If this doesnt work you can also try an older version of SOC which still has got psneuter (pick it from first post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682 its pretty far down the page) and try this procedure with psneuter instead of gingerbread exploit.
[LG Optimus Black] exe127:
can someone follow the procedure above?

super one click is here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1456774
[LG Optimus Black] exe127:
The out come if I follow what you said
[LG Optimus Black] toothbrush69:
tried this and didn't work for me.

SOC hangs on step #5.

it also says that psneuter doesn't support android 2.3.3 and above
[LG Optimus Black] exe127:
actually, it hangs at step 6 but not step 5 if you can see step 5 is appear in the box
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
And what does Unlock Root tell you? Failed to unlock or success?

At least it told me It has been rooted, when I made it...
[LG Optimus Black] 1aca:
Seriously, guys. What part of "psneuter, zergRush and Gingerbreak are all patched against in LG Gingerbread ROMs and therefore cannot work" do you have problem understanding?

I seem to remember knzo saying somewhere that zergRush is the latest and has the biggest chance of working. Well, it doesn't. I put debugging code into it and the framework returns "Command too long" - ergo, patched. Gingerbreak is thwarted by "ignoring command from non-root uid" and psneuter was patched more than 1.5 years ago in the official tree.

Root exploits are not random chance events. Even if you hit an out-of-bounds write or buffer overflow, you won't automatically get root. The exploits are carefully crafted to set up the environment to... well... exploit the vulnerability. You can't just randomly run non-working exploits and expect to magically get root. Deal with it.
[LG Optimus Black] exe127:
as i remember, is something like cann't push to su. In one word, can not root in the end
[LG Optimus Black] adxgrave:
There was things nooby playing with in hidden menu. I've realized that although you have enable usb debugging but set cp usb in hidden menu, debugging is off. Touch ap usb and debug mode is on again. Definitely something in there need to be set correctly.
[LG Optimus Black] exe127:
yes, and you may see my result after using the above method(idea)
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Hey dude, dont be angry at us for keeping on trying... There was a way, that I made it with the tools I suggested to use. So why not keeping on trying to redo it? Another guy from germany also reported to me, that he made it by random, but he also couldnt redo it... But he told me he didnt mess with hidden menu, so it must be possible without messing with the settings. I also tried the method of the v10c, with all the commands... I was just typing them all, even if a error was the result. I just kept on typing and then I tried different SOC versions and exploits and several tools, all postet in first post ;)

Have faith guys, there is a way :D
[LG Optimus Black] 1aca:
I'm not angry, I just don't see the point in doing the same things over and over and expecting different results. Especially since the holes you keep trying to stuff exploits in have been patched.

I doubt it had anything to do with the exploits, since they are no longer working for V20 ROMs.

Of course, the hidden menu should play no role unless LG easter-egged a root exploit in there. Highly unlikely.

All tools you've mentioned use exploits that are no longer viable in the context of the new V20 ROMs released by LG. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
[LG Optimus Black] vince91:
If some people have successfuly rooted their phone, and others are sharing rooted rom, then there are some methods to root V20* with these exploits.
[LG Optimus Black] d_dee:
only N00BY0815 have prove to us he is the one (and the only one) who success to rooted his phone "by lucky", i don't really see any other guy who can make a clear prove for second rooted phone from stock rom 2.3.4
[LG Optimus Black] d13guit0:
There's almost one more guy who success to root his phone in htcmania' spanish forum ;)
[LG Optimus Black] 1aca:
No, sorry, that does not follow. You have no way of knowing how it got rooted.
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
It was definitly done by an exploit, that already exists, or do u think i developed my own and wouldn t share? :-D So we just gotta refind the bughole in the rom ;-) hard work, i know, but i will keep on trying :-)

Sent from my blasting P970 with zeus :-)
[LG Optimus Black] 1aca:
Rest assured, I do not think that. All I know is that the tools you mentioned are all using exploits that are no longer working for these new ROMs from LG. I have shown you the patches that fixed them. Until someone shows that I'm wrong and those patches are not applied or not working in some cases, I will assume that those exploits could not have worked and that you rooted a different way.

Like I said, even bugs that are exploitable require careful engineering to exploit successfully. There is simply no way you stumbled on an unknown vulnerability and blindly got root.
[LG Optimus Black] exe127:
OMG, still no root for v20B
[LG Optimus Black] adxgrave:
But but, nooby got prove. Do you know that he got v20n rooted by chance using known tools. Go to his thread and check it out. How do you explain that? Unless lg forgot to patch it earlier and later secretly push the patched one.
[LG Optimus Black] jimakos29:
Still waiting for the vid TUT....
[LG Optimus Black] 1aca:
Nobody got proof? Of what? What do you mean? :confused:

Is that a question? If so, then no, I do not know that. I know he claimed that. Countless people tried. The tools don't work anymore, because they patched the vulnerabilities. He might have rooted it by chance, but the tools had nothing to do with it.

I have. I tried all exploits that the tools use: psneuter, Gingerbreak and zergRush. I even got the source for Gingerbreak and zergRush. I downloaded the android source for 2.3.4. Looked at the exploits. Then looked at the code. I didn't see the patch for zergRush in there. So I tried that. It didn't work. I put in debugging code. It turned out that it's fixed. Then I tried Gingerbreak. For that, the fix was already in the tree I got. Compiled nonetheless. Guess what? Yep, didn't work. As for psneuter, the fix was committed more than 1.5 years ago. But I tried that too. Didn't work.

Believe me, I have checked it out. I you had read the threads, you would have known that, because I said so in the past.

How do I explain it? It's a couple of posts upthread, read it if you're curious.
[LG Optimus Black] exe127:
THanks to your effort! hope the you can find the way and root our v20B!

Followed the steps but not working at all, as the files mentioned are not even there.....
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
I have another question, what gets replaced, after an update via b2c? Is it possible that files like su binary stay in the phone? Since all my settings and apps were still present, after the update... maybe there is the chance to get it rooted... install superuser via adb install superuser.apk and try different root methods then? Or do you think, that this wasnt the glitch?
