You're not doing anything wrong, from what I've seen opening a new adb instance on Windows will kill the server created by the .bat file used for recovery... which means the connection to the device is lost. I haven't looked into it further, but it might be fixeable somehow.
[Desire General] abats:
Ah I see, so basicly you undo the patched recovery by opening a new session. It does work properly under Linux then? I run ubuntu on my netbook so It's not a big issue anyway. Thanks for the tip, gonna try under linux now!
[Desire General] blackadder1000:
I'm having the same problems as:

http://android.modaco.com/content/h...co-com/307401/removing-sys-apps/#entry1256015

I removed a load of HTC widgets but I get strange entries on the widget menu. Anyone know how to get rid of these?

Also, I removed Stocks (.apk and .odex), now I get a force close on 'Accounts & sync'. Anyone know how to remove Stocks properly?

Cheers.
[Desire General] zw4mp:
After running the bat file to get into recovery, start a new cmd prompt in windows and use again adb-nilezon for shell commands instead of ordinary adb, and it wont be killed.

This has worked for me atleast :P
[Desire General] djmcnz:
The best, foolproof, failsafe way is to remove them from the rom before installing it... and remember that some services are still required, weather you use them or not.

But, if a system app is already installed you need to remove:

the apk from /system/app

the data from /data/data/appname

the cache from /cache/dalvik-cache

Do not remove Accounts & Sync...
[Desire General] blackadder1000:
Thanks for the answer.

I guess now is a good time to bake my own ROM!
[Desire General] djmcnz:
Yep, that's what I do... see my sig... :)
[Desire General] GANJDROID:
Root from Paul didn't come with one, and seeing as we can't get full system access (from what i understand) im curious as to if we can actually get busybox?

The 'busybox on rooted desire' on MoDaCo didn't help at all. :confused:

I've installed bb via Titanium, yet Metamorph didn't recognise it anywhere.

Cheers in advance for help :)
[Desire General] jayshah:
It comes with A2SD - but you can push the busybox binary to /system while the phone is in recovery.

If you pushed bb yourself, use its absolute path (like /data/somewhere/busybox) or put its path in your $PATH to get it going. I personally, without root, put busybox in the free-to-write-to /sqlite* directory (I put * because I don't recall the full name) and it runs fine from there.
[Desire General] GANJDROID:
do you have a link to apps2sd & does it come with a guide as to how to install it so noobs can understand?
[Desire General] jayshah:
A2SD was taken down "temporarily".

Sorry :(
[Desire General] LeszekSwirski:
Although this still seems to work:

http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-desire-desire-modaco-com/307398/apps2sd-miniguide/
[Desire General] jayshah:
Bare in mind I think it was taken down as (for some) it 'removed root' and also got some phones stuck in a reboot loop. Bad times.
[Desire General] Loccy:
You didn't read to the end of that thread :D

By what I've read, though, Metamorph dies on its arse because of the lack of system rw access.
[Desire General] GANJDROID:
Aye, I read that, but no Mac, and I can't get to the folder where Titanium saved bb to (assuming that because it's not on the sd card in any data or the titanium folders) the phone system(?)
[Desire General] GANJDROID:
Had heard about that, but I think he may be working for a solution?

From what I can remember from the rooting guide he said it was 'currently unavailable'
[Desire General] jayshah:
Yeah, hence it's hopefully only temporary.
[Desire General] Loccy:
Install Titanium. Then get your phone into recovery using Paul's Linux ISO. In the Linux console (i.e. where you'll have typed ./step2.sh to get the recovery up), you should be able to do adb shell from there. Then follow my instructions from mount /system onwards.
[Desire General] GANJDROID:
I didn't follow Pauls guide as I only have access to Windows, so I used the lanarchy guide, which I think might have been taken from The Unlockr.

Maybe fill me in w/ bb according to that?
[Desire General] watercool:
i am a bit ashamed to ask this but:

....

* boot into recovery

* adb shell from my Mac

* mount /system

....

boot into recovery -> ok

adb shell from mac.. ok? hm, i have macos as a seperate installation and i used it for rooting, so there is a pushfiles folder with recovery-mac.sh.. sudo ./recovery-mac.sh?

How do i mount /system then? Don't know where to navigate to find access to the sdcard :D. @volumes there are only my harddrive partitions, can't see the sdcard?

No idea, sorry, first time (ok, second time after root) i get in touch with adb, mac, sudo wtf? :D
[Desire General] Loccy:
Ok, all you need is some kind of environment where adb actually works.

Get your phone into recovery (the green menu screen) using whatever means or method you have.

Then, if you have Windows, you'll need the Android SDK. Ditto on a Mac. Anything with adb so that you can plug your device into your computer, do adb shell, and get a shell window up. Then

mount /system

onwards.

The key is that your phone needs to be in recovery before you do adb shell, otherwise you have no r/w access to /system.
[Desire General] watercool:
ah! ok, perfect. The android sdk is on my windows computer, the push-files on my mac, that's the problem :D

thanks for your help!

the recovery is not the problem, but mount /system did nothing because there is no android sdk on my mac.. got it now i think.
[Desire General] watercool:
mount system -> ok

copy busybok -> ok

when i try to install i get dozens of lines with "no such file or directory".

reboot -> phone not booting, hangs when displaying the HTC Logo omg :D

flash rom again? :(
[Desire General] blackadder1000:
same problem as watercool. Loads of "No such file or directory" messages.

But, I rebooted and it went through as normal, booted the OS fine.
[Desire General] watercool:
hm, dont want to wipe again, pff..

flashed AhmgskMod mod again without wiping, everything ok now
[Desire General] Loccy:
Sounds like you missed the . off of the end of the

./busybox --install -s .

command.

You need that . if you're following my instructions.
[Desire General] watercool:
ok, i did it with and without the "."

With the dot there was no response (so probably it installed correctly?).

Anyway it didn't boot afterwards. i will try it again :D

edit: ok, tried again and my phone stucks @ htc screen :(

i think busybox is installed but for some reason it doesn't boot (using the ahmgsk mod)

anyway, thanks for your kind help!
[Desire General] blackadder1000:
Adding the "." seemed to work for me. Thanks for the help!
[Desire General] watercool:
does metamorph work for you now?
[Desire General] blackadder1000:
No. Unfortunately not. The phone just restarts during the initial checks.

Probably for the reason given by gigiomix here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=6355458

Busybox is definitely working though, through terminal emulator.
[Desire General] Fusio9:
d'oh.. just installed Titanium, clicked on "problems?".. it downloaded the busybox and I did all the backups :|

no need to go into recovery ? ;O
[General Topics] YabeMadu:
Hey guys,

I am going to get a HTC Desire (Softbank - Japan) hopefully end of this month and want to know if anybody has been able to successfully tether using an Android? Why I want tethering is because I am planning on getting an iPad and it would be great if I can connect to internet through the phone..

I think there is an app for that, but what I am mostly worried about is whether the flat rate will apply for the tethering traffic.

If anybody got any ideas please do share.

Cheers.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Blue Ice K4:
does anybody knows something about that?

there was on wm6, there is on wm6.5... maybe it will be finally usable on wp7 where hw is more software compliant? may we finally use it, and all other voip sw beeing able to choose wich speaker use? or having the ability to make voip call from contact list simply choosing "make a voipcall" like we make with video call or having a dedicated button in dialpad? why is it so difficult having these simple functions?
[Windows Phone 7 General] BenF1:
Doubt it. Most phones dont because the carriers dont like it. They want all calls/texts to go through them so they make more money!

Its all about money and VOIP isn't good for the manufacture or carriers.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kloc:
There will be no Voip on the phone to begin with. They are allowed as apps but they won't beable to run in the background with the first release.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Actually, no, they aren't allowed. That is, there's no policy that says no VoIP, but there's no socket support for third parties, so you just can't make a VoIP application.

[Windows Phone 7 General] XATAGuy:
Does anyone know if Skype intends to rejoin the WM world and develop an app for WP7?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Phone Titan:
Chances are that they will wait and see how successful WP7 is before they write an application for it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] AceofSpades25:
Check out Voxofon... A free app currently providing voip calls and texts.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceifro:
Yes. This application could support but not include in Taiwan. :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] Alexey Zimarev:
Not exactly true

Not sure what you mean by most, but Nokia supports VoIP with g729 and LBC on Symbian and Maemo. Now Nokia wants to follow Sylop on WP7 and I feed sad about it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
That doesn't change the fact that the vast majority of carriers today explicitly forbid you from using VoIP and P2P. They are even starting to leverage control of this by limiting your speed to GPRS bandwidth if they see any type of unwanted traffic going thru your handset.

It's not in the best interests of carriers to allow you to use their network, with a flat-rate dataplan, for VoIP as that means they make no money on your calls. I'm betting we will see a similar policy on SMS/MMS in the future as this is definitely their biggest cashcow.
[Windows Phone 7 General] thesecondsfade:
You're saying that you think carriers are going to forbid you to use SMS over the data connection (like Google Voice)? I think not. That's a major selling point of Android currently. They can't be all in with Android and forbid use of Google Voice.
[Windows Phone 7 General] XATAGuy:
I’m not sure that Voxofon for WP7 is really what I am looking for. The product description in the app marketplace states the following:

-	No WiFi required

-	Will use plan minutes

-	Not suitable for use while traveling and roaming

Wikipedia states the following:

Voxofon has also released an application for Microsoft's Windows Phone 7, however it uses the phone's voice channel, and not VoIP.

It seems like the iPhone and Android users get a supported Skype application. I need some sort of VOiP app that I can use to make calls while connected to WiFi while traveling internationally.

So my question remains, is there, or will there be soon, such an app for us WP7 types?

Thanks,

Dave
[Windows Phone 7 General] CSMR:
There isn't now. I think MS doesn't provide the necessary APIs. Also, there is no multitasking, which eliminates a host of applications and prevents effective VOIP software. Multitasking will come late this year. The necessary APIs for independent VOIP apps like Skype, I'd guess around the same time but it's just a guess, on the basis that VOIP/IM apps are well-known and important to consumers.

Proper integrated (SIP) VOIP? Who knows?

Android has a big lead here, with both integrated SIP and independent support.
[Windows Phone 7 General] XATAGuy:
Well,

I don’t like the information, but appreciate it nonetheless. As a world-traveler, I need this ability – badly – but for now I think I like this OS well enough to put up with this shortcoming for a spell.

Thanks for your response!

Dave
[Windows Phone 7 General] bugsykoosh:
The VOIP limitation is really based on a lack of socket support. That's going to change with mango if not earlier. There's a rumor that at MIX they'll announce socket support but it's known to be on the short list in any case. This is something MS has been working on. In fact VOIP already has registry entries in current WP7 builds: http://mobilitydigest.com/visual-voicemail-and-voip-for-wp7-confirmed-via-homebrew-registry-viewer/
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] BehradGH:
Hi 2 All Rom Cookers , thank u all my friends .

I have something to say . i would like a super 6.1 rom on my phone. because its more faster than 6.5 . i think if we try to make super 6.1 roms , its better than making 6.5 roms.

sorry for my bad english.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] jagan2:
Well, its true that wm 6.1 is faster than wm 6.5 but its not true with all rom, the thing is as i have already said the same speed of wm 6.1 can be achieved on wm 6.5 and above too. A good example could be my rom :D . To be honest i have made that rom with aim of speed, responsiveness and super battery life.

But still some ppl think that wm 6.1 still better thats coz we have all always been heard and advaised that wm 6.1 is better speedier.

What we want from a wm 6.5.x rom?

1. A Good amount of free ram so that we can run many app. - Which is now achieved about 70-73 mb which is really good.

2. A good batt life - its also achieved.

3. And finally responsiveness- which in no dought is found more in wm 6.5.3 than 6.1 (on evo2)

So overall i would say that iam fully satisfied with wm 6.5.3.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] greedy63:
when You add touchFlo on Your rom , it´s the best :D
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] jagan2:
@greedy63: ha ha yes its coming with touch flo next time i earlier announced.

But lets stay on topic, wm 6.1 or 6.5.x
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] BehradGH:
touch flo 2d mega on 6.5 roms are not fast and u have 60 70% full ram but in 6.1 u can have it with full speed and 40 50 % of ram.

6.1 is better according to speed of cpu opal series.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] BehradGH:
i want to know can rom cookers help us with 6.1 with touch flo 2d or without it?

Please let us try it . for example EzInput is more faster too on 6.1 . i think just a test is valuable.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] jagan2:
You are saying that WM6.1 WITH TOUCH FLO 2D YOU HAVE 40-50% FULL RAM :eek:

Lol, i get 70 mb free ram in wm 6.5 with touch flo 2d that is approx only 30% full ram.

"touch flo 2d mega on 6.5 roms are not fast and u have 60 70% full ram"

Again lol, you are totally wrong once again i get 70 mb free ram if not atleast 65 mb free ram !!!

All depends on the rom cooking method :cool:
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] TheRem:
i'm using an uncooked 6.1 rom without touchflo... and very much satisfied with it. :)
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] BehradGH:
i would like to use ur windows . please tell me about it . which cooker? which version? get me a download link my friend and i will test it on my device
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] jagan2:
Without touch flo - Evolution 2

And with touch flo, yet to be released, soon will be available.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] jagan2:
The rom iam talking about, that is without touch flo is Evolution 2

And the rom with touch flo, yet to be released.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] BehradGH:
its a good rom , but it has not touch flo 2d mega.!!! and start is down not up!!!

i like a rom as speedy as evolution but with touch flo 2d mega.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] jagan2:
Yeah, so u know but still u were saying that u get 40-70% full ram with wm 6.5.x

Anyways, Evolution 2.5 is on the way (with Touch Flo2d)
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] BehradGH:
i like evolution series , they are fast and good. but there is one problem , they are not beautiful as other roms . for example D13 or V28.

but i install a touch flo2d mega on this rom (evolution 2) and 44 % full ram . thats correct my friend . this rom is really good . i never tested touch flo on this.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] jagan2:
Ha Ha, real beauty is in its performance :D

D13 to D28 they are aimed for may be graphically beautiful, but this one is designed for more free ram, responsiveness, and batt life.
