I really appreciate all your hard work. Fresh rom keeps getting better and better. I love it!

What's the issue with WiFi tether? I've been using it with no problems on 0.4
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
I currently don't know where the problem was and it was too late at night for me to troubleshoot it. But when you tried to start it, it would fail on starting all services. After that the screen would no longer sleep until you rebooted the phone. So I took it out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dametzg:
I just updated to this from MoDaCo 1.1 and it's working great so far. One thing I noticed though is that my phone was no longer rooted after installing. I only noticed it because a few of the apps I use that require root weren't working like they should. Adb shell showed the # sign like it was still rooted on my PC, but if I opened Terminal Emulator on the phone, it wouldn't change from $ to # when I typed in su. I went through the steps to root again and everything seems to be working fine now. Could this be what's causing the problem with the WiFi Tether?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
I'm dl'ing .5d right now.

Has anyone checked when changing their lockscreen if it still prompts for Album or Gallery?

Also, is anyone else having to re-root after install? (going by the post above)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asapelectric:
OK, I'm gonna try my first ROM 0.5. Do I just down load link, put in sdcard, power off, push home and power back up, do a nandroid. Turn back off, turn back on while pushing home, select zip, so forth, so on. Im rooted and have removed a few Sprint apps and have the original nandroid back up on my PC. Sound right? Correct me please !:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Strange... and confirmed. I can adb remount and push and pull files all day long through my comp. But apps that require root are failing. Could explain wifi tether. Dang it. I was hoping I could sit on 0.5d for a little while. lol

Looks like I won't be getting any time off. Ha.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
Yes, and actually you don't need to restart inbetween backup and loading the ROM, or at least I've never had an issue. I running .5c (beta) and upgrading now to .5d (current), .5c was real smooth even to the point that no stock reloads were needed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Edit: you will need to reroot if you want to use apps that require root. Check post 2.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asapelectric:
Thanks for a quick response, might I wait a minute or just go with 0.4, in light of the new little problems?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
haha, at least we have a confirmation. not sure about the lock screen gallery, but unrooted would definately explain the tether issue.

Hit me up when you are ready to test.

I'm going to stay on .5c for now, since something will be coming shortly and there are only a couple of stock apps I would have removed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
It's really easy to fix. Literally 2 commands on your end. Oh and confirmed that wifi tether is fixed with that. Haha. I should have noticed. It's almost not even worth it to create a new rom when it's fixing one issue that people can fix in 2 commands. I'd much prefer to fix the stereo bluetooth issue first but I haven't even started looking in to it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
To be honest, the problems aren't anything huge, unless you absolutely have to have Wifi Tether right now. You can reroot in seconds without a restart and honestly how good are the lock screen gallery pics? lol

I remembered someone changed the default gallery pics to something different in a custom ROM (can't recall which one) so I was going to check if the stock lock screens were the same and noticed I couldn't get to them, but no big deal, I've always used custom pics.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
Cool, agreed no need for a new ROM if 2 cmds will fix it. :D

too much work a for a little thing like that.

To confirm for others, wifi tether will still be out until next release tho right?

I think I had originally installed from the market, I wonder if that would work. Honestly tho, I never use it, my work supplies with me aircards for free.

Flashing to .5d right now! :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
I have a link to it on the front page still from when I had removed it in 0.2.

http://bit.ly/7SwwO

Just needs to be pushed to sdcard and installed with package manager or to /data/app and reboot. Working great once root was re-established haha. I'm thinking about using my blog to start hosting all this info. It really gets lost in these threads. Especially flipping between xda and ppcgeeks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] imb951:
I have .5d successfully installed, THANK YOU!

However, this is still not working for me, adb remount fails and tells me it's not permitted. Should I re-root with the original asroot2 process?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Blah. Why is remount always working for me and no one else. Haha. Try this instead:

adb shell

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

Report if that works for you. Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
Good News!!

Yes, if the commands listed did not work for you, rerun your previous asroot2 method. Actually, I think I had to with the beta.

I think the steps I followed were something in the lines of:

(my asroot2 still eexisting so I skipped the copy step)
adb shell
data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh

then

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/bin
chmod 4755 su

I will document everything I did after .5d installs and post everything.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
I'm thinking that only the second half of the directions will be needed. Hoping to hear back from imb to see if that works.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] imb951:
Unfortunately it still doesn't work. I used that remount command when I originally rooted my stock ROM and was manually removing the bloatware apps. I remember having to SU and get the # before the remount commands would work.

Since I am still $, they fail. I guess I will try re-rooting via asroot2 with the original process.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Dang it. FML. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] imb951:
No worries, Flipz! It only took me a few extra seconds to successfully re root using the original method!

Thank you again for all your hard work and special attention to us Noobs!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
Ok...

I rooted and good to go, here were my commands I entered.

adb shell
data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/bin
chmod 4755 su

Going to install some stock apps, then wifi tether!

Much thanks Flipz!!

All your hard work is much appreciated....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] imb951:
Can someone post some example code for pushing stock apps back on?

I think you use the adb push command? There are always specifics that I will miss. I'm better at following patterns anyway.

All I want back is Sprint TV

EDIT: Found it in another thread!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
I was abount to post the same thing but a little tweaked. I'm too lazy to only push 1 at a time, lol.

Create a folder in your sdk/tools directory called 'apps'

Then open a command prompt at the tools directory and enter the following:

(keep in mind, chmod 777 can be harmful, there might be a better way, but this works)

adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
chmod 777 /system
chmod 777 /system/app
exit
exit

Then I copied the .apk files that I wanted to push to the tools directory,
create a folder called 'apps' and placed all the apps I wanted back in,
into that directory.

Then did this:

adb push apps /system/app

To verify the apps copied you can do this:

adb shell
su
cd system/app
ls

Restart and you should have your apps!

EDIT:

The apps weren't there after restarting, going to try again and post back.

weird....

EDIT:

hahaha, nvmd my mistake, I corrected my code and it should work now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
anyone know how to delete a folder in system?

I accidentilly created one and want to remove it, so I know it won't harm anything.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Follow your instructions that you used for pushing apk's to get root and mount the filesystem, but from a shell do: rm /system/the-folder
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
I keep getting:

adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

rm /system/apps
rm failed for /system/apps, Is a directory
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Ok do: rm -r /system/directory

Make sure you delete "apps" and not "app" lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
haha, yeah and I've had the worst typos today to, lol

that looked like it worked, rebooting now.

Now back to my custom boot animation project, lol

still trying to figure out how to put a update together and sign it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] miguelfp1:
is there SSH access to the phone?? if so... where can I find the password?? thanks!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BrianDigital:
So I can just flash this over the old fresh Rom and it will work
[Hero CDMA Android Development] N0J:
Yep!

just re-root afterwards and it should remember all of your previous settings as well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Negrito:
I flashed it over Fresh .01 and all went went well. It took what seemed like forever to load up after the inital reboot, but other than that it was smooth as butter...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BrianDigital:
Y would I have to reroot
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Negrito:
Because he included the wrong user permissions. Simple mistake, even easier fix. Its only two codes that need to be performed, as the asroot2 file should still be on your sd card.

adb shell
data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/bin
chmod 4755 su
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zaquaz:

Why am I getting UID 2000 when executing su? It seems the first root works, but after that it doesn't
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Negrito:
I get the same:

96-26-56-112:tools brynehobbs$ ./adb shell
$ su
# whoami
whoami: unknown uid 2000
# ls -la /system/bin/su

$ su
# whomai
whomai: not found
# whoami
whoami: unknown uid 2000
#

However, i can confirm my device is still rooted. btw, i know nothing about linux or android, just what i have read on these forums and learned by trail and error.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] knx2:
whoami is just a command that will print out the user status... like root or <username>
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zaquaz:
The devices is rooted, but to get actual uid0 (root) via shell, I have to run asroot2 again. I'm glad I'm not the only one having issues, thanks for responding so quick :)

Make me feel a little more "not alone" in the world. LOL! :)

I know alot about linux, but not much about the android system. I am wanting to turn swap on via reboot, but having this issue that su returns uid 2000 gives me permission denied for any scripted root events. Until I can figure this out, I'm stuck. Either I wait, or reflash... what to do, what to do.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zaquaz:
I am quite aware of what whoami is. The problem here is that whoami reports uid 2000, where root uid is supposed to be 0. Using the exploit, it reports 0 (correct), however, after excuting the commands to permanently root the phone, the "sh" and "su" executables only give uid 2000 access.

uid 2000 is not root, and will not work to do what I (or many others) will be needing it to do.

Also note that I have another phone upgraded to .5b from modaco 1.1 and it does NOT have this issue.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alcaron:
For whatever it's worth there is a new version of the wifi tether app that DOES work with this ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dailypush:
I know wifi tether version 1.61 seems to be working fine for me...

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=2&q=HTC+Donut

I think it might have something to do with the permission mix up that is fixed 2 or 3 posts before this one.

I came from Modoco right to this one. And my permissions got messed up and the wifi app kept closing... but after a little adb love everything is working.

Everything is zipping along nicely..

Thank you for the updated Rom... your efforts are greatly appreciated.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zaquaz:
Reflash modaco 1.1, then flash back to .5 fresh. Reroot. This fixed my root issue.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] imb951:
Just successfully installed the new version of Wifi tether and am posting this via a tethered 3G connection!

This might be a dumb question, but what is the Superuser Permissions app? What does it do, specifically? When I launch it all it gives me is a blank screen with the apps name at the top, menu and search buttons do nothing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
Well, in regards to the BT speaker issue, I tried all day to get my new $130 Sony BT stereo headphones to work with Fresh 0.5c (the test version) and 0.5d but no love. They paired up but no music comes through. I flashed back to stock and they worked fine so at least I know the headphones DO work.

Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone else had any luck? I may just have to stay with stock (updated and rooted, of course) for now. After all, I shelled out the $$ and hate to see the headphones just sitting there!:p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BrianDigital:
Can anyone get to their paid apps on this Rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BrianDigital:
I can't even see apps that aren't free
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 06ms6:
How did you get it to work? I installed it on the current fresh ROM and the tethering won't start successfully. Maybe I need to install modaco and reflash to fresh.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Negrito:
I have never used Modaco's rom and tethering works great for me...

[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonnythan:
It didn't work on mine until I re-rooted the phone. So try that.

playing media via bluetooth - resolved

just wanted to let everyone who is trying to play media via bluetooth speakers that the Unofficial Modaco 1.2 ROM (version d i think it is) works perfectly.

I RUU'd, rooted, and flashed. (Did not do the manual OTA prior to flashing)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BrianDigital:
Can anyone confirm that they can see paid apps or any apps that cost money
[Hero CDMA Android Development] antbarney:
Still seeing this happen in 0.5d after doing a complete Wipe Loading Modco 1.1 then upgrading to 0.5d. This to me seems like its a pretty big security problem. Did I root incorrectly or is there somthing not setup correctly in the ROM that is just allowing all root apps access?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
It's fixed in 0.6 (not released yet. Sending to testers today).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerrygon:

REALLY appreciate your including the ad-blocker hosts file. :)

Along those lines, is hosts built into browser.apk or does it simply reference the file? Specifically in relation to this thread:

If I flash Rusk's browser.apk update, would that overwrite the ad-blocking?

Nope. It's hosted in /etc/hosts and would not be affected by you using his update. :)

Boot loop on 0.6

I'm bootlooping on 0.6. Anyone else? I have my SD card set up for Apps2SD, but it's an ext4 partition. Gonna try to reformat my entire card from scratch to see if I can get it to work. I'm coming from the stock ROM. I am rooted. I do have the recovery image. Doing a Nandroid restore brings me back to my pre-fresh state.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerrygon:
Flipzmode.... Have you tried reverting the displayed version # in phone settings to the old one to fix the problem with the paid apps not showing up in market place?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
The actual display number doesn't get read by the market. It's the ro.fingerprint. Which I did revert back to the old one. I can see all posted apps on my phone without any issues. As I mentioned, it may require a restore to get them to show up. The unofficial modaco 1.2 also recommends a restore before installing.

Any other experiences with the apps showing or not?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerrygon:
Ok sorry I thought I read that it was still not working. Well so far so GREAT!. Great speed and all seems to be working. Thanks man!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Yea it was mentioned that they aren't showing but I'm assuming a restore will fix it because on mine they show. My whole goal of Fresh rom is to not make people have to restore to get it working and I've gone to great lengths to make that happen, rather than forcing a restore on everyone. That would make my life a lot easier. :)

But the apps issue might be one that a restore is needed until the problem is officially fixed by Google.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] esoteric1311:
Hey Flipz,

I'm running Modaco 1.1 w/ Apps2SD. Will I have to reinstall my apps? Sorry if this was answered already. Maybe make it noted in your first post and blog? Thanks

Also, I have the clear as a bell theme installed. Is this compatible?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
No you will not lose your apps (in theory, read all disclaimers. heh). And no, clear as a bell is not compatible with the Sprint update unless a new one came out that I didn't see yet.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] esoteric1311:
No, no new one.... just thought it might work. thanks for the info. Will try it out tomorrow probably. keep up the hard work!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ohmarni:
Well, it was all my fault...of course. I was using the same SD card I used with my rooted myTouch. So I restored my Nandroid backup then ran parted through ADB shell and removed my ext4 and linux-swap partitions, then recreated them as ext3 and linux-swap partitions. After doing that, I was able to flash this ROM without wiping and everything looks great. Thanks much. Donation coming your way on payday!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
great rom :P am having trouble getting the market... its not loading.. :S the rest am not having problems and i installed the twitter and the sprint tv :D

thanks man
[Hero CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
the clear as belll theme worked for me the only thing that dint was the lockscreen...and its with this new version 0.6 :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] esoteric1311:
So it is working for you with fresh rom 0.6? except for the lockscreen? You flashed the rom first, then the theme right?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
yep flashed the rom first then the theme...but the lockscreen i think its my phone because since i had modacos rom i never got the clear lockscreen working :/ i gave up and bought lock 2.0 lol any ideas how to manually put the clear lockscreen maybe like that.. :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aaron130:
If my phone is already updated and rooted can I just transfer thie rom to my sd card and flash? Or is there an additional step I need to take? Sorry if its a dumb question still very new to all this android stuff. Thx in advance.:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VoXHTC:
Flashed from stock rom - didn't run update - just downloaded all my paid for apps from the market - rooted - ran Fresh Rom 0.6 from recovery - BAM!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] aaron130:
I am already updated and rooted though. Can I flash this rom if Im already updated? And what exactly are the steps. I have flashed modacos when it first came out but im not sure what to do now that we have the update. Can I just put it on my sd and just flash as I am??
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Yup just put it on your sd card and flash. No extra steps. You won't lose your settings or apps.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] aaron130:
Flipz, to add back the stock apps, do I put the folder of the download of stock apps in my tools folder in C:/adroid-sdk-windows/tools? I put the folder in the tools folder correct?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
You don't necessarily have to put it in the tools folder, the important part is you need to be able to reference where it is.

http://geekfor.me/2009/11/23/how-to-add-stock-apps-back/

the "c:\folders\your-apks\stock.apk" part is where you need to tell it where the folder is.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aaron130:
Ok thx alot. And one more thing, I type JUST LIKE THAT? C:\folders\your-apks\stock.apk? And is your apks where I put the name of the actual apps apk?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
It should be relevant to wherever it is on your system. So yours could be c:\downloads\stock.apk . You need to change the folders to whatever the actual path is for where you put the apk's. And yes, the stock.apk is the actual app you are trying to push. Change it to whichever file you need.
