Does root work in b2?

?

Maybe I'm not following your question. I don't know of a single custom rom without busybox and superuser for any android device. Unless you have done something strange after install, you will be rooted
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vauvenal7:
It's said some comments before that some root apps don't have root access on the 1st build, guess that's what he wanted to know

If you mean superuser, then yes it does, read back a few posts for the solution. You will most likely need to download the superuser app. This is for v4.2 I am assuming.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] johrie:
Download the superuser app does not work, it will not install the binairies needed. You will need to flash it via recovery. Links are posted a few pages back.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nevyntanis:
I flashed the zip and then installed the superuser app, that's how I got it to work anyway. didn't download the app from market got it from elsewhere, can't remember where. But you making me wonder if this was the right way to do it, because apps still prompt me for root access even though its in the allow list. Any advice would be appreciated.

Edit: got the app from github/chainsDD/Superuser

edit:edit: Thanks johrie your post gave me an idea, i extracted the superuser apk from the zip file and installed it when I should have flashed the zip file I downloaded, duh!!! Dont get prompted anymore.

Old age really sucks...

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] imanoob:
Looks like ChainsDD has fixed the superuser issues. It should probably be added to build with it included.

EDIT: Looks like the cyanogenmod repos are buildable now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hrk:
I beg to differ. (But it's not Flinny's fault, it's a bug Android has since at least 2.3).

As you can see in my signature, that's the same for me. G1's keyboard was the best ever made. This Z-hinge looks like bull**** compared to the G1.

Thanks to Flinny and the Andromadus team, I think I'll finally move to JB in the coming days (and then I'll need a new device w/ GB to test my apps).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MarcelS:
Flinny, I hope that you will still be improving 4.1, not only 4.2. Is there any way to make statusbar on the bottom of the screen like in CM7's tablet tweaks?

Here is the thread I got the 4.2 keyboard from... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1964726

I can confirm that it does indeed work with flinny's 4.2 (2)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] davidrol:
Still, unable to get root. ChainsDD linked file is not flashable in 4xt recovery - aborts everytime. Superuser from the market updates and thats all. SuperSU doesn't work for me, either. This is after several attempts including reinstalls - still no go.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dexim:
The flashable SuperSU from this... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1742522 ...thread worked for me in 4ext.

I was getting frustrated in the last few days trying to figure why the hell my super stable RT-N56U kept having WAN disconnects. I haven't done anything to it in terms of settings, nor messed with anything in my network. I kept firmware updating my router too, massively getting lock ups until I realized that the same day I purchased a Nexus 7, I also updated my CM9 GB to JB CM10. From their everything went to a mess. As of now I have finally come to a partial conclusion that my Desire Z with Build 128 is causing my WAN disconnects. Not my Nexus, nor ISP or any of that matter. Fellas this is serious, perhaps not for certain users in certain routers and their dedicated firmwares but this is definitely something to look over for Beta 1! Good job Andromadus :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lolmaus:
Is there a version of the firmware that has no major issues?

Which one do you recommend to flash for daily usage (not testing)?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blackknightavalon:
I thought the test builds were discontinued with this beta release...

Sent from Spaceball One.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lolmaus:
By "testing" i meant not the build type, but usage purpose. I was wondering whether there's a release of this firmware appropriate for daily usage, i. e. has no major bugs.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Indiwiz:
you might want 4.1 (128) .
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MarkyG82:
Second that. Its not as stable as some of the ICS builds but the extra zip and visuals are worth it. I'm playing with memory values and background service values. Still sticks from time to time but works for daily use. It all depends on the user tough ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lolmaus:
I'm currenty running CM7.1 (one of the latest nightlies). It's appreciably slower and drains battery about 1.5 times faster than it used to on 7.1 stable (tried purging everything and starting from scratch — still slow and hungry). So i'm considering either rolling back to 7.1 stable or trying the Andromadus Vision Flinny build 128.

Upgrading to Android 4.1 is tempting, but i'm afraid of caveats that might force me downgrade back to CM7.1.

What "extra zip and visuals" are you talking about? I'm aware only of flinnycm10_vision_128.zip and GApps.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MarkyG82:
It just feels more responsive (when its not tripping over itself) and it has some nice transition animations. The swipe to dismiss notifications is second nature now. I've not used cm7 for such a long time that I don't know what features have been back ported.

I'd say give it a try. If you don't like it go back to stable 7.1.

I've been on 2 background services for a couple of days now. Might go to 3 just to see if its a bit more reactive when multitasking.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lolmaus:
Thank you MarkyG82! I'll flash it today. Hold on for an upcoming bunch of newbie questions. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MarkyG82:
No worries. As a side note. I have just bumped my low limit cpu to 384 (or whatever it is). Its much more snappy now. I have a high capacity battery on order so it shouldn't cause too much of a run time issue. Currently I'm having to be really anal with 2g/3g/wifi/no data, just to keep it alive till the end of the day.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] iammodo:
I have mine at 700 lower and 1.4 max with performance gov but don't play games on it and have an ipod for music. But its rather snappy.

Flashed 44 over 41 and just wiped the cache/dalvik

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] virtualflyer:
I want to suggest you to publish a changelog anyway. For example if you fix FM(yeah I'm looking forward to it =D) we won't be able to know, or also for a less important issue. If we know it has been done something to something we may check if it really works, else it may be difficult.

I'm gonna download it right now, but if you want me to wipe and do a clean installation before sending a bug, I won't be able to...

By the way add AROMA installer, it's such a nice innovation!

If I'm not wrong in beta 2, there was no camcorder working, here it works and also works panorama mode, which I'm not sure if its new or not...

WITHOUT wipe: camera button for music seems not working
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xT4Z1N4TRx:
Camcorder & panorama both work in beta 2 :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] virtualflyer:
Then sorry for my dumbness... I've never seen the camcorder app in drawer, maybe it's just that that's new... Or maybe I didn't notice this too :D. Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MarkyG82:
First few comments after 18 ish hours use.

Definitely smoother than B2. Not notice so much lag in the dialer app either, when both opening app and receiving calls. A couple of visuals on the left hand side when typing a text on the HW keyboard. Considering the battery has not settled, the life seams to be really good. Not tried any image capture yet.

Whatever buildprop tweaks you did since B2, its worked a treat.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flinny:
Changes look at github.

It's impossible for you to nandroid/wipe/install/check and then restore your nandroid afterwards? I'm not saying it will help you this time around.

The motivation for this stance is this. I'm not spending hours trying to reproduce a bug anymore when it's caused by crap left over from a previous installation (this has happened). Unless it's been shown not working after a wipe then it will be treated as a non-bug and it will be ignored. You have been warned :>
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] virtualflyer:
You're right, but, for example, you may remember glitches (that were still present in Beta 2 if I remember well...) they used to happen sometimes when they wanted, they may happen while using then I nandroid wipe install but I may need hours before it happens again

Anyway yes, I can do what you did for most bugs...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Without wipe that may be the case, I'll look into it. If you toggle it a few times I believe it starts working w/o wiping, feedback would be welcome.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MarkyG82:
I think what he means is in B2 there was no camcorder in the app drawer. In the camera app yes but not in the drawer. In the testing 44 there is a camcorder 'shortcut'.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] johrie:
Then I hope they will leave this option out of beta 3 because it is another clutter app in the drawer :/

Hello everybody,

This is my first post in nearly two years, I have moved to this forum only recently from the 'HTC Opal' section. I have worked with Windows Mobile for all this while and hence am a noob with Android.

1) From my understanding so far (after a lot of reading (I don't like posting stupid questions that waste time)) Andromadus version 75 is virtually flawless. Am I correct in that assumption?

2) Also the bugs tracker page is not all that easy to look through, I am not sure if I am looking at the bugs for the right ROM on that page. (I might be asking for too much here) Could someone please direct me to the right page or perhaps post a list of known issues?

3) With the previous forum I had a reputation for providing quality reviews for ROMs and being able to provide quick fixes for minor bugs. I hope to be able to build the same rep here.

(P.S: I know I might be crossing a line by making this post in this thread but I dint want to start a new thread just to introduce myself also I could not find a dedicated thread for this purpose.)

Thanks and Regards

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pauldacheez:
Welcome to the Android world! It's wonderful here. :D

1. This thing's stable as a rock, aside from the harmless graphical glitches and occasional known bugs. It's been my daily driver for a while now and it's on par with CM7 in most regards.

2. The bug tracker you're looking at is probably the one for upstream CM9. Any issues listed there will be present in this ROM, plus a few additional problems that are either new bugs that should be on that tracker, or problems we can blame on Flinny. :3

3. I hope you'll be able to build up that reputation too. Everyone loves a good tester, especially one who can provide fixes. <3
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jspina:
@Karthiksk

There aren't many problems at all. The only major thing is you can't record in 720p only 480p I believe. But the camera works great and the Tom is very stable and great with battery life especially when it is asleep. I have been able to make it last between 12-24 hrs! VERY enjoyable. Welcome to android btw! ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pauldacheez:
The camcorder also can only record for five minutes before crashing, I believe. But the normal camera is surprisingly usable, considering how terrible the HAL'd camera drivers used to work (having half of each picture show up as a jumble of garbage pixels most of the time). Now it just has a bit of a problem with (auto-?)focusing, although I'm not sure if that's the app or the driver.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
I'm having a new issue on 75 with the keyboard backlights. It's similar to the old issue where they only stay lit on display autobrightness.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:

Bbefore blk_jack starts digging into this, is anyone else having problems with the backlights or is it just me?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Flinny linked a patch from CM yesterday and mentioned it might break things, so I assumed it did. But yeah, someone else reproduce this issue first :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] David Dee:
Exact same issue here.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pauldacheez:
I'm not seeing any issue. The backlights only seem to turn *off* when autobrightness sets the brightness to 100%.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] David Dee:
Turn off autobrightness and then check your keyboard backlight.

HTC One S is out, it's ICS, and it has Wifi Calling.

---------- Post added at 02:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 AM ----------

The HTC One S is out and it has wifi calling.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pauldacheez:
I checked that; I toggled the notification menu widget between 100%, auto and 0% a few times and noticed the keyboard backlight staying on for the non-autos. I should've been clearer, sorry.

But I should thank you for making me inspect further: If I set it to 0 or 100, turn off the screen and turning it on again, the button backlights stay off. They turn back on on auto.

So, I'm 99% sure that anyone who hasn't been seeing this bug didn't turn off the screen and turn it on again after turning off auto. Legitimate bug, I guess?

Nice rom, but music app from android 2.x look owfull, and goo.im is unnesessery. Better will be to release clean rom like it is, without google apps but only with su app and all like in galaxy nexus.

I know that is hard, specialy that htc giving **** on desire z users. I think there is a time to choice different phone... But what... All htc one series are to big... Galaxy nexus didn't have memory slot, motorola is not a solution.. Nothing to choice.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flinny:
Blk, seems you were wrong it did break stuff ;)

Whilst your in debug mode, another set of eyes on the speakerphone issue (I don't see it anymore or maybe I'm doing something wrong) might help.

And if your in superman mode the wifi->data bug....

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Just fixed the auto-brightness. Wasn't my fault I swear! I was gonna go to sleep but I'll push the new patch for auto-brightness.. I've been testing it the past hour so it should be good.
