So let's place this into perspective where we are standing now.

I have read in some forums about Bluestacks Beta being rooted. But as we know it, it hasn't properly rooted as many apps don't run after installing them, like angry birds (1 out of 4 run so far).

The Google Play Store runs witch is a mayor achievement, so what exactly does it need to be done to accomplish a true rooting on Bluestacks Beta?

By braking the emulator when Ramdisk.img from the alpha version was used, that this means looking for another Ramdisk.img would help fixing the problem? I don't know much about these issues but I would like to be able to use most of the apps I was using before this partly rooting.

You guys did it in alpha, I bet it's just matter of time and regrouping to get this Beta fixed.

Any comments?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rocketero:
I am trying to install Bluestacks Beta to another computer (windows 7 x64), with graphics card: Nvidia Geforce GT 8500. I have tried the 3 versions: *.0686, *.2208 and *.2212 and all of them after installed it shows the Loading ... and then the windows closes, but the icon in the taskbar stays, same as the rotator-bar at the top.

I have tried to restarted but the same thing happens, it closes just seconds after it shows the loading screen with the animated .gif

Any way I could troubleshoot this problem or make it keep the main window opened ?

Now I get this msg after installing the market with the Root. file
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Wetzel402:
I am getting the same message now too when trying to install an .apk from Windows. My current work around is to download and install within Android on BlueStacks.

Edit: Use a 3rd party launcher (Launcher Pro, AWD, etc). This will allow you to access the Android web browser to download files. Use a file manager to access them or the downloads folder shortcut.

Where to find kernel.elf, Data.fs, Prebundled.fs, SDCard.fs

For the life of me I cannot find the above four files. Can someone please let me know where there are located.

Note that the "Program Data" folder is hidden by windows.

In Windows 7:

Open "My Computer" select C: drive, then click "Organize" drop down menu at the top right, "Folder and Search Options">"View" tab>under hidden files and folders click the radio button "Show hidden files, folders, and drives">Apply

Then navigate to C:>Program Data>BlueStacks>Android

Hope that helps :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rocketero:
I kinda got used to setup Windows_Explorer to see hidden files and folders, otherwise I had never realized that ProgramData is a hidden folder. But as the previous post stated is located at the root of C: drive.

I take the opportunity to say that I went back to the Bluestacks stock installation and I just installed Google Play Store. The main reason I did this was because while trying to replaced TOOLBOX utility (most symlinks in /system/bin are handled by toolbox) for BUSYBOX (installed by an app in /system/xbin), I got messed up and all the C Binaries got screwed, the SUID bit was reset and because of that I could not even do a simple list of files/directories (ls) as I was getting an error saying: ls: is not an executable: magic 7f45

So after that I knew I had to re install as not even the internet was working. I didn't know how to fix it, so I re-installed it but I am not planning to root it until a solution to the braking of the emulator is found out.

** Now all 4 Angry Birds games work (while rooted only 1 worked).

** The Bluestacks Cloud Connect in a Web Browser get synchronized with the apps in Bluestacks. Whenever I subscribe to an app in the web browser it get instantly installed in Bluestacks. (While rooted this was not working at all).

** I will keep updating this post if I see other apps that were not working while rooted and that work with the stock Bluestacks.

if you are sick of the stock Bluestacks homebutton (looks like a green/yellow/brown sandwich), here is a cool one, it has a black background to match the Bluestacks bottom bar:

​

rename the one located at c:\program files[(x86)]\Bluestacks

(x86) is for x64. works for me. If you have another cool button post it here.

I agree with you I installed Bluestacks beta 0.6.3.2215. After using this root process I kept getting a message saying that my sd card was full even though i only had 2 apps installed. Prior to the root I could use the cloud and sync apps from my phone to bluestacks.I tried increasing the size of the sd card and it did fix the message appearing but everytime i tried to sync apps from my phone it failed. Has anyone gotten this to work on 0.6.3.2215 ,Some appps do get SU access but some dont such as ES file explorer fails.

Hello there!

Sorry to derail your thread for a minute, just wanna let you know that this thread and another BlueStacks mod got a spot on the XDA portal :)

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/google-play-store-and-custom-boot-animations-in-bluestacks/

Impressive work, I used it myself and worked properly, so one of your poll's "yes" came from me.

It is also a featured article, which means it goes in the "featured" box at the top of the page. congrats!

Anyone got probler instaling reinstaling apps ?

I got this from bluestack support

Thanks for trying Bluestacks Beta-1.

We have come up with the solution so that apps don't keep installing/uninstalling them again and again.

Please download our Beta-1 latest version from www.bluestacks.com, which has the fix for this.

now the problem is I do not want to start all over again after I finaly have working google play store and rest of gapps.

anyone solved same dillema ?

I have 2212 version of beta-1 and new version to download is 2215

If I install new version will root.fs work on that new version (2215) ?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] capite:
Anyone know how to *automatically* move files from one place to another on the phone?

For example, I can get my camera to save files to the internal SD but not external.

But I have a sweet 64gb SD card, so I'd like to have an app or something that would automatically move the files over.

Any ideas?

And yes, I know I could do it manually using a file explorer but I want a "set and forget" solution.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nystreak:
I'm not sure about all the files you want on ext storage but for photos this is what I did. First im using camera zoom fx for my camera app. It let me create my own folder on my sd card and now all my photos go there. Check the apps you use that save files to your phone if you can edit the save path.

I'm on Android 2.3.4 and trying to unlock bootloader and get s-off, etc.

I can't get my computer to recognize my phone for long enough to run the RUU from HTCdev. HTC Sync will recognize my phone if I put it into sync mode on my phone, but when I start the RUU it disconnects.

any way to do the HTCdev method on Ubuntu? I have a system that I have Ubuntu on but I am not a pro with it either.

i am new but i've gotten the custom rom fever now since I got my nook tablet but this is frustrating me.

[HTC EVO 3D] Atomix86:
Usr htcdev to unlock it, flash cwm, then either go s-off and flash your Rom and kernel or stay s-on and flash you ROM, kernel, then fastboot flash the boot.img. Tutorials are in main sections depending on whether you have CDMA or GSM. I personally recommend leedroid or mikrunny.

[HTC EVO 3D] Atomix86:
I can't add the links as I'm on phone but www.htcdev.com has the unlock instructions. As for the rest they are in the forums, try the stickies first. With regards to problems the only ones I would say are the battery life is not particularly stellar on any Rom really, and ics roms don't have functioning camera, but aside from that it is one hell of a good phone with the 3d as a nice bonus ;).

[HTC EVO 3D] malignant098:
Shooter, ruu, versions.. your lost?

Hey I would just like to share in part of your confusion and let you know, take it a step at a time! And always READ READ READ , everyone here is very helpful and if you have a question chances are its been answered the only thing is finding the answer hence, "read read read." As for "Shooter" I know HTC phones use code names and Shooter represents our phones the Htc EVO 3d , Supersonic represents Htc EVO 4G, so on and so forth. RUU's I know are the "STOCK" files the completely revert your phone to stock and stand for either "Rom update utility" or something of that nature I am still unsure but Have used before to update my radios through hboot as I am on HBoot 1.5 and wanted the new 2.17 base. As the versions and radios/hboot, software all of the above , on your phone go menu/settings/about phone and read about your versions of software, baseband represents your radio and software info will be something like 2.17.651.5 "build number" is exactly stated in that menu of the phone. Good luck !

[HTC EVO 3D] omarfaieq007:
Thankful..but still!

I can't thank u enough..u and the whole HTC forum family are really helpful and great..so I am going to read about what I'm gonna do..and then ask if I am right or not..first thing I registered in HTCdev site to unlock bootloader but there are minimum choices of countries..so I chose US and hence they asked me to choose my phone but they only give a list of Evo 3D with carriers(Sprint and T-mobile and soon)so I am afraid I may do anything wrong..mine is GSM version and not carrier specific and I live in Iraq..what shoould I do now??

[HTC Rezound] ajglenn03:
Don't know if this is just me or what. But since i installed the new RUU my wife has complained that she has tried to call 3-4 times but i never get the calls. In the past i have not really had this issue at all. And at other times i have no problems. Any one else heard of this issue or have it themselves. Also, IMO i believe signal strength is weaker with the new radios. What do you guys think?
[HTC Rezound] kryptik06:
signals have been better on all 3 rezounds i had with the new RUU (returned some due to overheat issues). I haven't heard of bad signals for the new RUU. Did you make sure you installed it twice? what ROM are you running?
[HTC Rezound] WareDat:
I've missed several calls as well since upgrading to the latest ics firmware, most times my phone only rings once or twice before going to voicemail. Never had any issues with the January GB firmware.
[HTC Rezound] bwthor20:
No missed call problems here that I am aware of since I upgraded. I still get a signal in my basement, where I couldn't before with other HTC phones.

I installed the leaked RUU the day it was leaked, and I am 100% stock, still locked and everything.

Only issue I've seen is battery life is around 10-15% less at the end of the day, and it does seem to get a bit warmer than before, but not out of control.
[HTC Rezound] bwthor20:
No more than an hour after I posted, my phone rang one time and stopped before I could answer. It was my wife from her office and I just assumed something came up so she hung up. Now it just happened again from someone else. I grabbed my landline and called my phone and tried. I got really varying results...

First call it didn't ring at all on the cell before going to voicemail.

Second, it was 4 rings on the landline before the cell started, then another 5 before it went to voicemail.

I've tested it about a half dozen times since and it is working fine.

Not sure whether it is the phone or Verizon. I really haven't noticed this till today.
[HTC Rezound] ajglenn03:
Yea my wife called apparently about 3 time in a row this afternoon. I was on my phone on XDA actually and it never rang. finally on the fourth time it went through. This has me a bit worried.

kryptik06- yes i did run the RUU twice. the rest of the phone is fine just this one issue. I am running Clean ROM Developer Edition.
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
I think you guys with issues need to reinstall the RUU, I've setup about 36 phones on the new RUU, a few people had very similar problems and the reflash solved it. But I haven't had anyone tell me about problems like this after the install was complete. Well one guy couldn't connect, but his sim card was upside down, turning it over promptly solved all issues.
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
My problem since the update is cell reception is awful. Looks good (full bars) till a call comes in. When I answer, it drops to 1 bar, or dies completely.

I have downloaded the RUU a couple of times, so as to eliminate download issues. My data is good and fast. It's just calls suck.

With my Samsung Captivate, simply using their car power adapter triggers car dock mode. This doesn't seem to work with SR. Anyone has any clue on how to trigger car dock mode? I'm looking for this as I had my Captivate programmed to do certain thing when in the car via Tasker. Now, the only way for me to do this is to always turn on bluetooth when powered to see if it connects to my car's handfree kit. So bluetooth is turned on even when at home or work. Not very desirable. So it would be great if something can trigger the car dock mode.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slixzen:
So I just received my Otterbox Commuter Case. There are a couple things I don't like about it from the start. But we will go over that in a bit. I used my phone for these pictures, so sorry they aren't superbly awesome.

A couple pictures

As far as height goes, I used my Performance MX Mouse for reference:

The feel of the case

Overall the case is sturdy, and doesn't feel flimsy. This is what Otterbox is known for however. It is a bit stiffer to get off the phone compared to the Ballistics case that Sprint tries to push out when they sell the phone.

The Silicone cover

The included silicone case is incredibly stiff. Does not feel like the TPU Case, or the Skeleton Fishbone casing at all. This also feels less likely to take an impact then the ballistics case, however, it doesn't let the phone slide around when you place it on a surface. The headphone cover and usb port cover are a nice included package, but rather useless if you don't use the harder plastic cover as well.

One of the biggest shortcomings for me, and this may change with usage, is that the volume rocker and power buttons, feel almost impossible to press. If there wasn't an optical display letting me know if the screen display was on or off, or if the volume was being raised or lowered I would be hard pressed to know if the buttons were actually working. When pressing the volume rocker, it feels like it isn't lined up with the physical buttons at all, almost as if it is slipping.

Polycarbonate Cover

It is definitely sturdy and firm. I only have a couple problems with this and they are relatively minor. If I put the case down with the polycarbonate cover towards the surface, the phone slides around quite easily. Some softer material, in addition to the hard case, would have been nice on the back just to keep it from moving.

The other small thing, is that they put a bit of "bumper space" on the speaker phone hole. Which offsets the balance of the case. I can lightly push on the left side of the phone and make it off balance. If they had put these bumper spaces in a straight even line, then this would resolve that issue.

My past cases

It would take some more time to give it an adequate review, but that is just my first glance review. I work in a manufacturing and chemical plant, so it will be interesting to see how the case holds up to the environment.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mexiking713:
Just got mine today and I definetly agree with you for the most part. The most annoying thing is that the buttons are a little hard to press. Coming from the Trident Aegis I definetly feel the difference. Its a good case but I expected more.

Send from my Galaxy SII Epic Touch
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iniz94:
I was about to buy this but I decided to buy the Trident Aegis instead. Saved me $10 and I'm liking the Aegis a lot, asides from the fact that my phone is pretty bulky now. Oh well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dudebowski:
Agreed about the buttons. I got the top tier case, and the poly carbon case has huge rivets to clip to the belt clip I don't use so they're a pain too. Most secondarily wish they could've made it more water resistant. It doubles the size of the phone, so there's some frustration there too but I kind of enjoy adding some weight to it. I stuck a fly grip on it too so I'm starting to feel little Trans-humanist :-)

Over all though my arguments are range trivial. I'm pretty happy knowing my baby can take the kind of abuse my electronics fear me for.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slixzen:
Well, after a while of using it... GOD DAMN is it slippery. I feel like it is incredibly awkward to hold. :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mexiking713:
Exactly. Went back to my Trident.
