Hi Haka, can you provide some hints as to how you incorporated the proprietary binaries (ducati-m3.bin, sirfgps.conf, and gps.omap4.so)? I'm trying to build this for toro and have all the necessary files and have succesfully built the stock aosp, but I haven't been able to have the compiler incorporate these proprietary files. ducati-m3.bin is in my source tree, but the other two aren't (however, I can pull them off my phone, for example).

Or is it ok to just put them in the zip in the end? But then, one would have to edit the files in META_INF?

thanks for any hints...

Understanding the Rooting Process

Hi,

I have never rooted a phone before, so I am a bit curious before I get into it. I have a Galaxy Nexus – brought directly from Google without going through any carrier. I have Android 4.2.1 on it, and it has never been rooted.

I want to root the phone in order to copy data on and off a USB Stick using Chainfire’s Stickmount App (among other things.) This means I am not interested in any custom ROM. The stock works OK for me.

I am using the following tutorial: How to Root Galaxy Nexus! [Universal Guide][GSM/Verizon/Sprint][Windows/Linux/Mac][GB/ICS/Jelly Bean] which has the following steps to root:

1.	Unlock the Bootloader

2.	Install ClockworkMod Recovery

3.	Install the SuperUser binaries using Recovery to get Root

In this regard I have a few questions that I am not getting easy answers using Google. (All I get is tutorials with steps – no logic.)

1.	The first step is “Unlocking the Bootloader”. The following link says that unlocking the Bootloader is to install custom ROMs What does it mean to unlock the boot loader?

As mentioned above, I am not interested in putting custom ROMs on to the device. I am satisfied with the stock. Do I need to do this step?

2.	“Unlocking the Bootloader” seems to delete all data on the phone. Is this true? Why does it do this.

3.	Is it possible to backup the current ROM before I root? That way I can always restore it in case of any problems. I do not have much data/apps on the phone, so backing up that is not an issue.

Thank you all for your help.

O. O.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
1. Yes. Unlocking the bootloader is not the same as installing a different ROM, you will still be on stock after unlocking. Unlocking will ALLOW you to flash different firmware/mods/etc, but you dont have to flash anything you dont want to.

2. Yes, it will wipe your phone clean. Every time you do it. No getting around this.

3. Not to my knowledge. I would recommend doing the back up first thing after unlocking bootloader and installing recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
addition to point 3)

its really irrelevant to backup the rom if you're staying stock since you can just download the images freely from google and use fastboot to flash them all and you'll be running a clean stock rom since you just unlocked the bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] o.o.:
Thank you WiredPirate & Zepius. I am trying to understand how the Rooting process works – not just the steps, without having a clue as to what I am doing.

1.	My question here was not “Whether I needed to Unlock the Bootloader” – but why do I need to Unlock the Bootloader in order to Root? My question here is Why? When I do not need to install custom ROMs why should I be unlocking?

2.	Why does Unlocking the Bootloader wipe the phone?

3.	Thank you Zepius. I think I agree with you here.

Thanks again,

O. O.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
This is true. The exception might be if you don't have access to a comp at the time your phone needs to go back. But downloading and flashing images like you said is probably a cleaner/ better way of getting back to stock.:good:

Wish I was more help with the "Why?". I just kind of go with it lol. I mean I have ideas as to why, but I'm not a dev and/or familiar with code, I'm just a user so I don't wanna say something and it be wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
1) an unlocked bootloader allows you to flash unsigned images. This allows you to flash a custom recovery, which is required for root access. basically, if you want root, you have to unlock the bootloader the first time with the command "fastboot oem unlock"

2) thats the way its designed. there are ways around it, but you have to have root to unlock the bootloader without wiping your data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] o.o.:
Thank you Zepius. I am hoping that someone can provide some better understanding of this issue. I know that there is a design, which is obviously illogical. Nowhere have I found an explanation for this illogicality – hence my question.

O. O.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
My guess is it is to keep your data mostly secure by wiping it out.

The other option if you want to root without losing your data is to use a computer with the adb tool to make a backup and then restore that backup after you've rooted your phone. A guide on how to do this can be found here: http://www.thesuperusersguide.com/adb-backup--restore.html
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] o.o.:
Thank you Zep. This is more like what I was looking for i.e. this sounds reasonable. Anyway I guess this is not the best place to ask such questions i.e. everyone seems to know what to do, but are clueless about the logic.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neera:
Another option for USB OTG is an app called Nexus Media Importer it almost does what stickmount does and does not require root.

You can read data, but you cannot write to the attached device (USB flash drive etc.), only copy to the Android device.

Hope this helps a little in case you are uncomfortable rooting.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] b177y:
As has been mentioned, unlocking the bootloader is necessary to allow flashing images. AFAIK, the data wipe (factory reset and memory card wipe) is to protect your data, contacts, etc., in case your phone is lost or stolen and somebody tried to restore your phone to stock so they can use it or sell it. That's assuming you have a security screen that can't be bypassed so that the criminal can't just hit "factory reset" and delete your memory contents.

The bootloader unlock is necessary to root because you are flashing the custom recovery (TWRP or CWM) and root (Superuser or SuperSU) binaries, or flashing an "image" if that helps. This is the same process as flashing a ROM, so the bootloader needs to be unlocked to allow this. The data wipe is there to "protect" you.

Once rooted, you can lock and unlock the bootloader at will with the "Bootunlocker" app by Segv, though if you ever loose root via OTA update, you have to unlock the bootloader via fastboot again, which causes you to loose your data. I learned this the hard way so trust me, just leave the bootloader unlocked. Even if a criminal tries to flash a new ROM or factory image, they have to completely erase everything to get around your security screen.

If you have data that want to save, use the Android MTP to move you memory contents to your computer. This is mostly for music, pictures, documents, and downloads. To do a full backup (apps, settings, data) there is a guide in the stickies I believe that explains how to do a full backup to your computer without root.

That is my attempt at the logic, hope that helps.

Switched from S-Note to Seafile, snb2txt converter

That's the reason I switched away from S-Note to Seafile+text editor for taking notes. That makes sync'ing easier and also makes it easier to structure notes with bullet lists, headings etc. which is painful in S-Note. For freehand notes I use Seafile+StylusLabs Write.

For the migration from S-Note to Seafile I wrote a Python script that converts .snb files to markdown text and extracts the embedded images. In the process it converts the embedded .zdib images which S-Note uses to store freehand drawings into .png format. Unlike S-Note's .jpeg export, this is a lossless conversion.

I posted the script to code.google.com/p/snb2txt

I hope someone finds it useful.
