[G1 General] brummiesteven:
For the DROID (and other/future android phones) is Apps2SD really necessary? The only reason why we need it on our phones is because of the pathetic amount of internal space the G1 has, the same goes for Swap Partitions etc.

As long as people buy the phone there is always going to be someone who is smart enough to work on rooting it IMO. And even without root what do you really lose? The only things I think I would really miss are Wireless Tether and Bluetooth File Transfer (Which I THINK is in 2.0 anyway).
[G1 General] danguyf:
I'm not buying a new phone until it's rooted and Cyanogen has it too.
[G1 General] tep065:
My biggest requirement for any android phone..and any cell phone in general is the keyboard. I bought the G1 because of the keyboard and lucked out with the high number of developers available for it. I didn't find this place for several months during the time when the grandfather of the G1 mod program was still active =) JF!. I enjoyed all the modding and updating because I personally feel that the phone is, well mine. And I should be able to do what ever I want with it. I had picked up the V3C Razer because it could play MP3's. I get it home and then discover that the Verizon Nazi's completely locked down that feature so you where forced to use their service at an additional cost. Of course the motorola dev/repair/store software allowed us to get in a enable the various features that Verizon required to be locked. I also love the Aps2sd. No matter what phone you have, the internal memory will never be enough. And with the Cliq supporting 32gig sd cards, a full keyboard, and NOT verizon was enough for me. I'm patient and confident it will be rooted eventually. If not, I still have my G1 and I still do Cyanogen updates and play around with it. And when my contract is up with Tmob(renewed for the Cliq), I'll see who has the next most popular rooted phone with a keyboard and switch over. I just really hate people telling me how to use a device I own. Its like going to McDonalds and having them dictate what condiments to put on my BigMac and Fries, and then telling me I can only eat it a certain way and which hand to use. :) If Cyanogen was down with the Cliq, or interested in it. I may be willing to ship him my phone to see what he can come up with.

As far as a universal O/S for all phones, isn't that just the core Android software with specific drivers provided by each manufacturer and custom UI? There should be a way to make 1 O/S for all android phones, then have update packs with the drivers and UI enhancements and add-ons for each android phone released? Not sure of the SPL locks though. Thats a bit beyond me. But i wouldn't think it would be to hard to run Cyanogen on the Cliq or droid provided the correct drivers and such where bundled with it. Kind of like slipstreaming a service pack into a bootleg Windows OS :). Each phone eventually has to release the source code which contains the drivers for that phone. Thats how we get the Cliq's OS onto the G1, should work the other way around too. Sounds easy, but Cyanogen's Rom should run on my Cliq, provided the drivers are slipstreamed into it for the Cliq...right? Only problem is root.. :/ hehehe
[G1 General] njuncos:
and there he flames again...alec.baldwin, no one has the problems you have with cyanogen's latest. actually, lets delve into this...what exactly are your "problems" with 4.2.5? PLEASE, answer this question so cyanogen can dutifully fix the "problems" you are having.

You might check out some of the Q/A threads to first learn how to properly flash cyanogen's ROM. It is slightly different than Dwang's because Cyanogen uses the legal method. In fact, check out www.cyanogenmod.com and you might find a ton of useful info on getting cm to work on your phone.

Best of Luck,

njuncos

P.S. Cyanogen, mad props on once again reaching over a million thread views on your latest. Now you own 3 of the top 4 most viewed threads of all time in Dream Android Development!

[HD2 General] owz206:
I've had my HD2 since yesterday and just noticed that pinch to zoom is not working on the sample video file in the album app or video clips I've recorded.

It works on photos, opera browser and a few of the installed apps but not on video. Has anybody else had this problem.
[HD2 General] prank1:
Yes i've noticed this aswell, I just assumed they had taken out this feature (after all, why would you want to zoom in on a video?)
[HD2 General] br3nt:
cause you might have spotted something that you want to zoom in on?

pretty logical to have zoom to zoom in on stuff ;)

maybe just a registry hack would be sufficient?
[HD2 General] fards:
I'm going back through the beta roms to see if there is anything that did change..
[HD2 General] baaggzz:
It doesn't work on opera for me, only on htc album, any ideas to help me please?
[HD2 General] xmoo:
Hard reset!
[HD2 General] baaggzz:
Thanks, already do that.

I think my provider "orange" removed pinch and zoom for opera.

Anyone else has the pb ?
[HD2 General] d3l1:
altough I don't miss that feature, I was wondering too why I can't pinch-zoom like you saw in all those videos.

I have the standard EU/English retail from expansys and pinch-zoom doesn't work with any video.
[HD2 General] bogdan wst:
mine doesn't zoom in videos either :(

I am now to HDTweak
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] jimmy_vanderlinde:
what's the difference between ver. 1.9 and 2.0 exactly? can i have the look of them?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] XDAPOD:
Hi Guys,

Sorry if this has already been covered tried looking for information but couldnt find anything.

I have an XDA Stellar that is out of contract now, so I have started using it with a O2 PAYG sim card, my work now provides my mobiles so i dont need anything new or to continue my contract.

The problem I have is when I am trying to check windows updates on the device I keep getting an error message saying "Connection to the update server is not available. Check your data connection settings and ensure the device date and time are correct".

Could this be related to the fact that I cannot access mobile internet with my O2 PAYG sim and can only access WAP ? Is there any other problems I will come accross using the O2 PAYG sim ? Would you recommend changing to another network ?

Thanks in advance

XDAPOD :cool:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stylez:
Wouldn't worry about Windows Updates on phone as doubt any lol

I know they don't allow email on the prefix setup and .cab's floating about, i get email access using the connection setting bellow, but no MMS have tried to mixmatch details but always one or other:

O2

Access point: payandgo.o2.co.uk

User: vertigo

password: pasword

Wouldn't advise change network as the deal o2 offer now £15 top up unlimited text and web is incredibly good :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] XDAPOD:
Thanks Stylez, Kinda miss the full internet access though as the works is also restricted :mad: do all the other PAYG networks give full mobile internet access ?

Which would you recommend ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stylez:
When you say full internet access i'm kinda confused by what full means? As with the settings above i get everything - MMS to which i have never used so was happy to par off one service for another, i think another provider that gives good internet access is 3 but the free usage is 190MB over 90 days "30p per MB over usage" :( on o2 is 500MB over 30 ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] XDAPOD:
Seems to be I can only access most web pages and cant receive any emails, maybe I have the wrong settings.

I spoke to O2 customer service they where not much help other than to tell me that I wouldnt be able to use full internet as the device is not supported on PAYG ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stylez:
Ah o2 yeah very helpful support team lol, if you don't use MMS try the settings i use, as i get all web sites, i use Opera Mini and Opera Mobile and get emails :) It's the proxy they use that seems to be the problem but removing the proxy doesn't stop the email restrictions, i tried to use there setting then delete there connection settings use the above and leave the MMS but didn't work seems tied into the proxy settings?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] XDAPOD:
Will give them a go, cant do any harm haha.:D

Cheers
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stylez:
That's cool and hope it's as you wish, took me ages to find how to set up ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] judicious:
for some reason, everytime i charge my battery, it stops at 96%..i would then need to unplug and plug the cord back in to let it finish the rest..do i have a bad battery? i tried different cords on pc, wall charger, car...

not sure if it's because i installed something on my phone that might up messed up some reg files or damaged something..

anyone else having this issue?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] User22:
I have posted some weeks ago the same problem.

It looks like a charging bug courtesy of HTC that i allready reported to HTC Spain, but they don't know what i am talking about :mad:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] delta-9:
I know you probably wan't the most battery life you can get but this might be a good thing! I'm going to test it out soon!

If you read up about lithium polymer batterys, like the ones in our phones it seems to sugest that keeping the battery between something like 40% and 80% charged and charging more frequently for shorter periods of time rather than leaving it on over night will prolong the batterys life.

If you want to be really geeky and store the battery properly at any time, charge it to 60% and put it in the freezer (in a bag).

I'm not sure about these or any other phones but laptops didnt use to come with overcharge protection (Ithink most do now) meaning that when the battery charged to 100% it would just keep charging and fry it! This might be HTCs overcharge protection!

Cheers

Tom
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] judicious:
i noticed if i do leave it over night, it goes to 96%, then i slide to unlock (s2u2) and then it starts charging again, and then it reaches 100%...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] User22:
On every PPC that i have owned before, as soon as battery gets fully charged, it keep fully charged, and the power is taken from the wall charger/Car charger while you keep it pluged on.

Why you keep trying to trick us with those % , if you know that this Rhodium is a BIG BUG ???

Cheers :)

Title: Rooting the Droid Eris: What else needs to be done?

So, I've looked around a lot, done some snooping, and I've hit the point where I think I need some help...

Over the last two days or so, I have been messing around a lot with the Eris.

I've been able to get fastboot as well as adb to recognize the device. Unfortunately, I can't get fastboot to do anything other than recognize it. I've tried rebooting the device through fastboot to no avail. I also believe I have a pretty much complete system dump, which I am willing to post if it is of benefit to getting things moving. The one file I don't have, that I'm not sure is needed or not, is "init.rc". Every time I try to pull it, it says "permission denied".

So, what's next? Any and all help is appreciated.

Thanks , guys,

-Video
[Droid Eris Android Development] adwinp:
1: this is NOT the section for the Eris

2: to dump your boot, get into recovery or system, connect via adb and:

cat /dev/mtd/mtd2 > /sdcard/boot.img (where mtd2 is your boot partition)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
Seriously, this is not the Eris section, so please go post over there.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Soaa-:
Uh. Guys. The Eris is a rebranded Hero.

To the OP, have you tried the instructions for the Sprint Hero?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Videofolife13:
...I'm about 99% sure there is not Eris section. Sorry about that.

From what I've seen around, none of the CDMA Hero methods work on the Eris. I will definitely try it tomorrow. I'm not sure if this is a justified fear, but just trying random root methods could brick my phone. I'll keep looking around and trying different things, though.

-Video

edit: So, tried pulling /dev folder. My out put says that it's "skipping special file" and then lists all the files in the folder. I can't get it to copy to my sdcard either as I get a "/sdcard/boot.img doesn't exist". Sigh. I'll keep trying. Idea: do I need my sdcard partitioned a certain way to get the file to write to the sdcard?
[Droid Eris Android Development] maejrep:
1) You won't be able to access mtd2 unless you're root, so you need to do that first.

2) When adwinp said to run "cat /dev/mtd/mtd2 > /sdcard/boot.img", that's being run from a shell on the phone itself, *not* from "adb pull". If you tried doing something like "adb pull /dev /sdcard", that's going to fail. You have to open a shell on the phone via adb, then copy the contents of mtd2 to a file on your sd card (i.e., /sdcard/boot.img). But again, you won't be able to do that with an unrooted phone because the mtd device files are not world-readable:

# ls -l /dev/mtd
crw------- 1 0 0 90, 4 Nov 12 03:33 mtd2

The method of becoming root for the Hero (using "asroot2") will not brick your phone. It's what you do with root once you have it that could brick it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Videofolife13:
Thank you so much. Great info. I will try the asroot thing out today.

-Video

CDMA Hero Root Method: Got through the first steps:

"./adb push asroot2 /data/local/

./adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/asroot2

./adb shell"

Then:

"$ /data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh

[1] Killed /data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh

$"

So, that seems to be a no go.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ajones7279:
Yea, the Sprint Hero method won't work. And the Eris is a rebranded Hero so technically this is the right section.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Videofolife13:
Okay, so if that method doesn't work, what's the next step?

-Video

edit: Would the method where we open a recovery.img on the phone and then install the superuser.apk work? I'm not sure if there is a general recovery.img that it could boot into or not. Any thoughts?
[Droid Eris Android Development] chicojd:
I'm hoping someone will care about this soon. From all the research, a LOT of times people are walking into VZW looking for Droid and walking out with the snazzy little Eris. It's become the phone of choice at the store.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Videofolife13:
http://xorl.wordpress.com/2009/08/18/cve-2009-2692-linux-kernel-proto_ops-null-pointer-dereference/ (relevance down near bottom of article.)

Are we able to use this exploit at all?
[Droid Eris Android Development] binny1007:
I dont know why more people are not trying to get this rooted, because as soon as sprint releases a update the hole will most likely be pached for them also. So it would make sence to root this ahead of time. Thats just my 2 cents.
[Droid Eris Android Development] chicojd:
The hole has already been patched. The FW on the Eris is patched as well.
[Droid Eris Android Development] binny1007:
i know the eris is patched as i have one, but the hero FW still has the unpatched exploit. what i was saying was it would make sence for the eris to get a root exploit so that way when sprint updates thier FW it will be easy to root the hero. making everybodys life a little easier
[Droid Eris Android Development] davidboyd:
Take it to a Droid Eris board. This is the CDMA Hero board. No one here cares.
[Droid Eris Android Development] thecodemonk:
It would make it easier...but the motivation is still harder since we can still always get back there if needed (downgrade to vulnerable firmware with RUU.exe and root, then upload a custom ROM that doesn't update from Sprint :P)

I'm sure a new root will show up for you guys...Video is on the right track, post those exploits (and perhaps alert Amon_RA of them?) and one of them will be bound to work (constant of life...new exploits will be found :P)

davidboyd: the eris *is* a CDMA Hero...
[Droid Eris Android Development] davidboyd:
No, the Droid Eris *ISN'T* the same as the CDMA Hero. If it were the same, you wouldn't be asking how to root the Eris since the steps to root the Hero are all over this forum.

The Eris is similiar to the Hero, but not the same. Take your Eris noise to an Eris forum.
[Droid Eris Android Development] wasupwithuman:
Dude people need to calm down. Technically the eris is the hero but for VZW. When we wanted our hero rooted we asked everybody. It's not like they are spamming the forum, its just a thread. Like i said before you Eris guys should wait for the moto droid to get rooted, asyou all could probably use the same exploit. Just have patience. It took over a momth for thehwro to get rooted
[Droid Eris Android Development] DroidHead:
Not to add to the BS that some are comming in here with... The Eris is not a Hero, it is the HTC Desire rebranded as the "Verizon HTC Droid Eris"...

Anyway, Where is the Eris forum?
[Droid Eris Android Development] binny1007:
Ok buddy this a community to help, if you dont have anything productive to say dont say it, and do your research first. Many times when a phone is released on differant carriers they will rebrand it, such is the case with vzw and sprint, different names do not mean different phones, look at the wiki and you will see. take the touch pro, same phone but it is a little different from carrier to carrier.

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacomparer&id1=2080&id2=2005 look here pretty much the same phone.... if there was a ERIS forum do you really think that we would be posting here(use some common sense buddy).... I guess in a few weeks when sprint updates there FW and you loose your root you will be in the same boat as us. Like i said if you cant help than dont post.

again look here the only differance is a little better CPU.... http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacomparer&id1=2080&id2=2005

I agree that once the moto gets rooted than we should get root to, but from what i have been reading it looks like they are looking into a bootloader exploit, witch would not help us at all, witch is why threads like this will help to bring people in that have the know how on rooting.

So back on topic.....
[Droid Eris Android Development] Videofolife13:
The update was pushed to you?

Also try adb -d logcat > log.txt
[Droid Eris Android Development] zifnab06:
The update wasn't pushed to me. I'm going to try and update it with a downloaded version I jsut grabbed from a link on one of the other threads.

http://pcdphones.com/phone_downloads.aspx?bid=126&cid=1&mid=353&carrier=Verizon Wireless

Worth a try. I'll let you know what happpens in a few. I'll throw the update img up on mediafire when I get it downloaded as well, just so we have a backup incase for later.

edit - the zip at that url is broken :( sad day.
[Droid Eris Android Development] pjsockett:
That is not the update. At 119mb it seems like it would be the entire release rom. The update is supposed to be 6.5mb according to the install instructions from vzw.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jmanley69:
this may be the ruu that I was asking them to get. I'll download it when I get home.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zifnab06:
It has a RUU inside of it. I used downthemall to grab it(which kind of breaks zips now and then). When its done downloading, I'll go ahead and upload the RUU updater one mediafire (so when verizon/htc pulls this link, we still have it). The executable inside is named "RUU_Desire_C_Verizon_WWE_1.16.605.1_release_signed_with_driver.exe". We shall see if this is the ruu you want in a few :D I've got 10 min left on the download, their servers are slow :(
[Droid Eris Android Development] zifnab06:
WARNING - Downloading and running the RUU will remove EVERYTHING from your phone. It will be as it was when you bought it. If you don't want to set your phone back up, wait for the OTA update from Verizon.

This download does indeed have the RUU in it. Probably what we've been looking for! From the document inside:

The rest of the readme just goes through running their program. I can't seem to extract the img file, so I'll just put the whole exe up on mediafire.

Thanks, and hopefully this equals root!

Edit:

http://www.mediafire.com/?jqyetkjnmmt

Download link to the full RUU download. Confirmed: It is 1.16.605.1. YAY!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Videofolife13:
IT'S THE RUU!! IT'S THE RUU!!

Great news, kids. WE have it. We now have a fail safe if anything happens to our phones. It's a good day.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tbaker077:
It seems like an update as when I was installing it it showed that this is a newer rom version than what my phone has. But, I was told updates would not delete anything but it seems like for me it started clean like I just got the phone(thank goodness for backups, but I still had to reinstall all the software I had). My 1X-3G issue is almost gone. I still have some of that issue it seems like, but I have to test it out more.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rigamrts:
when i posted it in the other thread cause it seamed to be the right thread sorry didn't realize this was the one i was just thinking what if we could slide our ruu into the patcher to get things rolling or see how it slides into the phone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rigamrts:
this one does a factory reset unlike the ota. that was one of the warnings when it was posted where i got it from.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zifnab06:
I'll throw that in my last post. Forgot...whoops! Thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] tbaker077:
Didn't know that. Thanks. I just know need to figure out why my 1x-3G issue hasn't fully been fixed.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jmanley69:
I need to note one important thing

RUNNING THE RUU WILL LIKELY FORMAT YOUR PHONE AND YOU WILL HAVE TO RE-ENTER ALL YOUR CUSTOM SETTINGS.

This is not a problem with my method, this is just the nature of the RUU.
[Droid Eris Android Development] arkfirefighter:
Yep it does. i update my phone with it and ya lose it all contact,s programs, everything, no biggie, always have backups hehe
[Droid Eris Android Development] Aciddrag0n:
Doing this right now... lets cross our fingers...
