i have to rescind this comment for now, in my sleepy haze, i think i forgot to wipe before applying the zip. suddenly recalled after taking a nap today. shall try again tmr, heading out now. however, based on the screen shots from other roms, i would still vote for cursorespresso.

and the camera drivers are now available! eugene373 has updated his roms to include camera.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ionhide:
Just my opinion, but i think Expresso looks hideous.. Who ever had the idea of putting bubbles around the icons, should have his designing license withdrawn :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] insanecon:
I notice that the GPS is broken.

Once that is fixed with google maps navigation, this is definitely going to be my new everyday rom. Cant wait for the next update!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fabioccoelho:
Cursor explain this in the first page:

Not working

- Google Accounts

- camera

- gps

Cheers.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kimchi0400:
It should be possible to make the bubbles fully transparent by editing some system files... *hint*
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
Most probably yes, but perhaps it would render your icons transparent aswell...

Ah im sure devs will find a way round it :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Eskibo:
Lots of stuff going on at the moment.

Cant wait to see your next release m8.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kimchi0400:
the bubble is probably a semi-transparent overlay, i doubt it'll do that.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shael:
CURSOR!!!!!!!!! update with camera drivers!!!!!! and how come other eclair roms have gps working ? and what do u mean google accounts dont work. i love your sense rom and cant wait to switch to this one
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
I'm going to wait until we've got a good 2.6.29 kernel running. this only has 2.6.27 right now.

PAtience people. Switch to another ROM for now. Maybe CursorSense? :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] leonlikestrees:
CursorSense rocks :-)

What about this kernel?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=618024
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
That's the kernel i'll be using.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] danmark1310:
Link is broken
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
I've updated the link.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Dave778:
I'M EXITED! As soon as u fix camera and google I'll be up on this! Good Luck Cursor
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
I've been trying to get the !@#%&$#@% camera to work for a week now!

I'm excited to get this going too, but I think I might have to wait until a proper driver has been released.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shael:
what do u mean proper driver? ery other 2.1 rom has camera working?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
That's not the proper driver, that's the HTC test driver and it's not accessible through the proper HTC kernel sources.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] deeaz:
Hey. Did u have a date for the next update
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
There may not be one. I haven't got a reliable kernel to get the camera running properly. I'd prefer to wait for an official HTC 2.1 update for the Hero or the 32A Magic.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Xiripiti:
Update

hi cursor,

there is not a new release in the house?!?!

The sapnei seem to have a kernel that all work...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] evilfry:
guys,

i am as eager as you are, but lets be a little more patient :p

i think what cursor wants is not to compromise the quality of his rom just to have it released quicker, or as quick as anyone else.

that's why cursorsense 1.x is as good as it gets :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Eskibo:
exactly m8.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hubo19890319:
gogogo cursor……love you so much，go on please
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hone2009:
sorry for the some kind of noobish question, but: the first post says, that this rom requiers radio 6.35.07.29. does it also work with 6.35.08.29?

thx
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
Yes it does, but I would recommend against using this ROM. It doesn't work too well...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hone2009:
thx, will just have a brief look at it, i'm really glad with my current rom - crusor sense ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] malachaskos:
you stop to work this ROM?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DonDizzurp:
waiting for the final 2.1

i got bored so decided to finally try this one anyway..see how sense works with 2.1

EDIT: lol i thought it was sense. im still gonna play around with it. the booting is FAST but there is some lag at the home screen
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kenny wong:
- Bluetooth can't connect to another phone

- Music player can't read Chinese(Big-5)

- Can add more language and region?

- Clock can't show weather information
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
I have abandoned this ROM. Please flash something else.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DonDizzurp:
there are some unofficial sense 2.1's around

will you be updating this ROM with any of those?

nvm, read above post

How about a paypal account I think there is a way to set one up for somthing like this. Does anyone know how.
[Droid Eris Android Development] acidbath5546:
??

I dont know how to set one up here.....

But if we keep a running total, I am sure than whatever developer or developers that come up with a Root will have their own...
[Droid Eris Android Development] FireSokar:
I dont see a developer getting involved until the funds are guranteed somewhere.
[Droid Eris Android Development] acidbath5546:
Good Point

Good point...Do you know how I would do that?
[Droid Eris Android Development] binny1007:
That is what I was thinking. I know for the droid they set up a paypal account for it I'm just not sure how they did it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] acidbath5546:
...

im looking on paypal....not really seeing an answer...gonna ask a dev over in old xperia forums...
[Droid Eris Android Development] binny1007:
Check this out https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/xcl/rec/donate-intro-outside not sure if that is it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] acidbath5546:
yeah but...

I have seen that...but here is the issue that I think could arise...

If I open an account, and have it be for donations, I have no problem there at all.

But that would be me asking everyone to trust me not to spend their hard earned money, you know what I mean?

I have no problem doing it, I am just saying people would have to trust me to hold the money in "Trust"
[Droid Eris Android Development] FireSokar:
Easy get a mod to do it. -_-
[Droid Eris Android Development] acidbath5546:
I thought so....

I emailed our Moderator ivanmmj :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] JTF2007:
I'm good for $20.

Good luck everyone.

JTF2007
[Droid Eris Android Development] 00110001:
Lets get this rooted. Count me in for $50.
[Droid Eris Android Development] binny1007:
Any body want to spread the word on some other forums.
[Droid Eris Android Development] samster786:
Im in for $20 as well.
[Droid Eris Android Development] binny1007:
You should also update the total in the title.
[Droid Eris Android Development] acidbath5546:
Good call, I will :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] apreichner:
Have everyone hold on to the money, and whoever roots it will create the account once its finished. Then everyone sends in the money to the guys account. Problem solved.
[Droid Eris Android Development] FireSokar:
Still wont solve the fact that the dev may feel users wont pay up. I think best bet is to get XDA to hold onto the money. Sort of make it a hacking contest. Also maybe we could get it on the XDA Main page for everyone to see, maybe itll intrigue people who dont check our forum.
[Droid Eris Android Development] apreichner:
I'm pretty sure every other bounty on this forum relied on a user-trust basis...
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
That actually sounds like it might just work... Then again I am also a Mac guy that doesn't know how I would go about testing this theory... Well it seems like it's time for the devs to chime in! :D Good luck again guys!
[Droid Eris Android Development] acidbath5546:
Lol...no worries
[Droid Eris Android Development] alloydwhitlock:
The trick is giving the command proper permissions to run. It isn't really an issue of getting it on the device, but finding an exploit that will allow an application to act in root mode.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rigamrts:
yeah till it gives me the middle finger when i try to copy su into the system/bin dir cause the folder is read only. but yeah would work if i could write it there.
[Droid Eris Android Development] DocTauri:
That's what I was wondering, rather than copy it to system/bin, can't it be run in place where ever it is (like on the SD card) by just pathing to it (like on a standard linux distro)?
[Droid Eris Android Development] rigamrts:
not sure if it would work under a fat32 evrionment. i know you can install apk's from there.

but the kernal has alot of code to keep us from running commands from anywhere but system/bin.

as far as permissions. my su binary already has that cause i created from the ruu on the sdk. but just need a way to get a root prompt. i'm waiting on parts for something i'm going to build that might just let me do that tho.

plus it's a pain i the ass cause they installed a crippled version of busybox. but that's another story.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
I now have an Eris that has to be sent back to Verizon in ten days that i can do as much damage as need to test ideas.
[Droid Eris Android Development] toastcfh:
my wife has a Eris and i have a Sprint Hero. it sux this thing hasnt been split wide open yet. a guy by the name of zinx rooted the hero. he can be found on irc. if u guys really want to be root. then ur gonna have to go there and look for ideas. i was the second man on earth with a rooted sprint hero (i was outside smoking a cig and missed first). but yeah that night i was on irc and was asking questions. and the dude felt compelled to give it a shot. idk maybe u guys have already been this route. but i figured i give a suggestion. good luck guys. ;)

ps: my wife doesnt want this to happen. cuz she knows ill try to break her phone too :rolleyes:
[Droid Eris Android Development] 87jason:
So will the release of the source code help with the rooting of this phone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] toastcfh:
eh... maybe ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] acidbath5546:
Ummmm thanks for your suggestion.....

We have a team working off site on root.

And yes getting the Kernel code does help us.

Second man on earth? Ummmm okay.....cool kinda I guess...
[Droid Eris Android Development] toastcfh:
ehh.. sorry if i offended u. the "second man on earth to have a rooted hero" was kind of a joke. although i was. also i was just trying to help u guys out. idk about the site or any of that. im a dev myself and i actually wanna see this device "root" too. when it is ill be happy to share what ive learned in porting 2.x builds to the cdma hero and so on. good luck to u guys ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] kyrumo71:
I can't wait til you guys get the Eris rooted, I have the Sprint Hero and its a lot of fun trying different 1.5,1.6 and 2.1 roms, I'm really hoping that we'll be able to use the same roms for the Eris and the Hero.
[Droid Eris Android Development] toastcfh:
and u will. but with a bit of modification. the two devices are alot alike. and them being cdma will make alot of things crossover easier. it wont be like the trying to port a gsm 2.x rom to cdma. it should be alot simpler. we we also use alot of the same hardware so 2.x camera api fixes and such that we are woking on now on the cdma hero will be easily ported over to this device as well.
[Droid Eris Android Development] acidbath5546:
No offense at all, just kinda a random statement.

And thanks for your offer to help, if you read the first post you will see we have a dev team working hard at it, and some really awesome devs to.

Glad to see ya visit over here.

I am sure you can mess with your wifes phone to :)

I cook roms for my old Xperia that my girl uses, she always freaks out :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] toastcfh:
yeah im not into kernel exploits and i know my role when it comes to deving. as an offer if u guys need anything let me know. and ill do my best to help. i know alot of good devs and have gone through alot with helping with android on the diam500 and developing on this rom and others. again... good luck guys ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] OnlyGonnaDie:
I'm an idiot. Disregard this message.
[Droid Eris Android Development] nindoja:
Running Processes

I know you guys probably already have this on your devs forum, but I've attached a list of processes that are running on my phone currently. The processes to look into would be the runs running as root.

Since we now have the source code, the code that compiles into those processes would be the best place to focus our efforts I believe. I'll be taking a look at the code over the next few days and see if I can find anything promising.
[Droid Eris Android Development] navalynt:
Is it possible to manipulate an existing process running as root to launch another process giving it root access to flash the recovery?
[Droid Eris Android Development] marsMayflower:
long time listener, first time caller...

it's quiet in here... why do i feel that there are more than a few hackers plunking away at some source code, looking for a way in.

we're pulling for ya
[Droid Eris Android Development] chizzy58:
they have a spot to work on this for us outside of this thread.

this is like the gas station, the supply plant is being housed elsewhere :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] zifnab06:
exactly :D

Hey, just a note to all the dev team peoples, you can grab me on twitter at zifnab2010. you need permission to follow though. everyone else can see at zifnab06.
[Droid Eris Android Development] redman213:

[Droid Eris Android Development] binny1007:
So far along that we got lost along the way, and ended up on a strange island... and now we can't find our way back.

Viewing progress

Hey devs. I've been monitoring this and other Eris root effort threads for a while now and miss reading about your efforts. While I'm not a developer (I'm an SA and all my normal tools for rooting a machine have been tried by ya'll already) and can't actively contribute, I'd love to be able to follow your progress and learn from your efforts. Is there any chance I could get (even view-only) access to the development site you've created?
[Droid Eris Android Development] acidbath5546:
Once the site is public then you will be able to view.

If you read the first post and other various site threads you will see that it is only open to Dev's right now.

Your best bet is to follow this thread or other site threads dedicated to our Dev Team.

No "Special Viewing" will be given, we need our Devs to be able to work in peace :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] paraplegicpanda:
At the moment we're working on getting our domain set up. The site is up and running but it's hosted somewhere that can't really be released to the public. As soon as we have the domain issue taken care of, we'll definitely get a link up so you can check our blog out.

As for viewing our actual forum, that won't exactly be possible. We're hosting and making available to our Devs certain files and programs that could very quickly get us a C&D which we really don't want. One of the biggest advantages we've found in having a private forum is the anonymity that it provides while still allowing the Devs to collaborate.

Until we have our web page available to the public you can contact Acidbath5546 through this forum or check the first post in this thread for more information. I'm sure he'll also post an email address at which he can be reached.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hoban_eris:
@acidbath5546/paraplegicpanda

Noted and understood. I'll do as you instructed. Thanks & good luck!
[Droid Eris Android Development] dovo:
just a question

I work for a small business that is now going standard on the Eris as our PDA phone. I've had one since the first day they were out, and got my wife one within a month or so. I've been using this phone for a while and the employees are bringing things to me that I had not seen. One that I thought was interesting enough to mention here...

When you set a security pattern on the phone and for some reason you forget the darn thing, and can not get into the phone itself, they give you the option to log in with your Gmail account. When this fails, and it does you can put in "null" as the password to unlock the phone. I'm not sure where it's pulling this from or if it would help at all, but I thought I'd throw it out there and ask.

Is there anything that can be gained from this? Any exploit here?

Thank you to all the Devs that keep working at the ERIS. I saw that they released the source code, that sounds really promising.

Cheers

Dovo
[Droid Eris Android Development] morphius2036:
How to bypass forgotten unlock code. (INSTRUCTIONS)

This happened to my Droid tonight. my friend got a hold of my phone and

tried random pattern to unlock my phone. needless to say, my phone got locked out. i

entered my gmail address and password but failed.

here's the procedure to unlock without hard reset:

1) create a new gmail account on the computer.

2) call your cell phone with a different phone.

3) answer your cell phone then hit the back button and it will take you to the home

screen.

4) turn on wifi so it can do data and voice at the same time (remember that the phone

is still connected)

5) go to Settings -> Location & Security and disable lock pattern (you'll need to

enter to correct pattern previously set)

6) go to Settings -> Accounts & Sync and click "Add Account" and add your newly

created Gmail account.

7) hang up the phone.

8) turn the phone back on, at the lockout screen, enter your new Gmail account info

and it should let you back in

9) once the phone is unlocked, you can go in setting and remove the newly added Gmail

account and keep the old one.

Google works for this answer......
[Droid Eris Android Development] dovo:
using null as an exploit

Sorry, but that is not what I was asking. I understand that there is more than one way to fix the lock out. My question is specific to using the null method.

Can this be used for something else on the phone, or is it just a surface piece that means nothing? Would this be a way to get access in some round about fashion, and help with the root issue?

Again I'm not interested in other methods of unlocking the locked screen.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zifnab06:
The lockscreen doesn't run as root. So, simply, it won't do anything even if there is an exploit. All java based apps run as "app_xxx" where xxx is a 3 digit number. We'd have permission for that user, which has permission for that app. All java apps are sandboxed.

Once again, we are working on root. I'm running a diff between htc's kernel and the source from google to see what they changed. My assumption is that HTC's stuff will be easy to exploit, where google's not so much.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zorl:
Rom signature

I don't know if this is applicable in this situation but it has worked in the past on other non phone platforms.

I don't know how the rom signature is formatted but, I assume it is a large number derived from 2 very large prime numbers?(think I saw RSA mentioned somewhere in this or other related thread.)

Could someone not create a rom image with the needed su or whatever that needs to be injected into the phone and, then set up a distributed generation program in which as many ppl that wanted to help could download the program and start generating signatures for the rom? Like i said this has worked on different platforms and a working signature was wound in about a months time if memory serves me correctly.

I may be way off base as this is not my speciality, does it sound even feasible?
[Droid Eris Android Development] binny1007:
It's not just the Sig we need but every file is hashed against HTC's privet key.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hoban_eris:
wow! They really have a tight clamp on this device. Why do they care so much about locking these things down so tightly? It seems like an awful waste of time/money to me...
[Droid Eris Android Development] redman213:
Zifnab06 it's sad to hear you guys are stuck. I wish I was in college already (Currently in 2nd Semester of High School). I'm looking to major in Computer Science also and I can't wait! I'm reading up on linux right now but I doubt I'll learn anything on time to help otherwise I'd come pick you up from the island myself:D. I'm going to keep reading articles and watching videos to learn what I can and hopefully learn soon enough so that I can help but until then I wish every Dev the best of luck!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] zifnab06:
@hoban_eris: Its actually not that hard. They take a program, find the SHA1 of every file, mash that together with their private key, and put it in a META-INF file inside the zips. As I said before, unless you have a pretty good knowledge of cryptography (like CIA good), you have a better chance of getting hit by lightening WHILE being hit by a car crossing the street. Very small. RSA is uber secure (last time I checked).

@redman213: Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] zorl:
So the public key must be stored somewhere on the phone which you would need root to view, so we would need to get root, which would then give us the public key, which you need root to view, so we would need to get root, which would then give us the public key......

sure hope they find an exploit lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] zorl:
So the phone will not accept a plain text rom even with the correct signature? I was under the impression that if we could load a custom rom with our su executable then we have root. does the rom need to include something other than that? Like a stock update rom with su tacked in?
[Droid Eris Android Development] morphius2036:
Have they thrown a rainbow table at the hashs? Security is my field but more in the network sector. But a program like Cain and Able or John the ripper for us would find a matching hash value from rainbow tables. Just a thought I had...
[Droid Eris Android Development] adelaney:
Just stopping buy from hero forums. That sucks you guys haven't got root yet. Good luck,
[Droid Eris Android Development] morphius2036:
Stupid question but ar you guys using the kernel from the HTC development page and what are the files that need a public key to match to the hash for?
[Droid Eris Android Development] CaddymanLNL:
