awesome. Just awesome. Thanks so much. Great work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bron019:
hi after i do the adb commands i cannot seem to push those files to the sd card it says permission denied
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bron019:
nvm i rebooted and everything seems to work now thanks for the root tutorial
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revcp:
OK, so I have steps 1 through 3 in place having attempted this with 2.1 before I realized the attempt worked only for 1.5. Anyway, I have the asroot2 file in the sdk-windows/tools folder. Do I need to remove asroot2 before proceeding with step 4?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revcp:
One more question. Do I need a "clean" sd card to do this or do I just run it on my card that has multiple folders already?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wadeheisen:
You don't need to remove asroot, just don't bother pushing it over to your phone. And you should be fine with your sdcard as it is.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ballr4lyf:
Been lurking for a while, and this doesn't really affect me, but I do have to say, youdamanregaw!!! :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zer0vette:
you can just go as is, no need to wipe the SD card.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] athanos:
Congrats and a BIG Thank You to all of you who worked on this. I know there were many people helping out. It only seems like Regaw was the main person because he had the most posts about it, lol. But I am sure there were quite a few people in the background and I wanted to thank them as well. So, just for the hell of it, I'm going to flash the official RUU and follow this root guide. I don't need to because I am already rooted, but I just have to try it.

Thanks again!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HotrodHG:
Awesome job with rooting 2.1! I am pretty new to android and rooting, and kind of lost with the nandroid, I found a topic in the G1 forums with a complete guide, do hero users use that guide or is there a hero specific nandroid thread?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wingzfan:
Been following this since day one and all I can say is excellent job.

Now to what Ive been dying to try. Is there a way now to install apps2sd?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smstutler:
Try turning on PC sync and see if that will let you detect the device. If not try adb kill-server then adb shell
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rrr571:
Help

I ran the exploit as written.

All was well until I executed Step 9.

I stepped away from my pc for coffee and when I returned I had a list of write-out of space errors.

I still had # displayed in the terminal.

I executed Step 10 and I am now stuck on the white htc screen.

I tried:

adb remount ----> no device found.

adb devices ----> no device found

:o

Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rrr571:
Got it back

Ran the RUU again, got the phone to restart.

I am going to uninstall a bunch of apps, then try again. Write errors were to device. Out of space.

What are the steps to flash the boot.img

Do I just flash the zip it is in or just the boot.img

I am rooted already but would like to get the official sprint one for the PRI update. If I use the Damage zip will it change the PRI?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
You can just flash it using recovery. Also if you do run the 2.1 ruu and then reroot your hero. If you flash damage.zip (assuming your talkin about the kernel i release) you wont have permanent root. I forgot what you would have to do. But its what i changed in the boot.img, that regaw has in the root download, that gives you permanent root.

You can PM me and i can make an OC boot.img that wont mess with permanent root.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revcp:
Thanks. I'll give it a shot. And thank you very much to all who worked so hard on this.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Sprint 2.27.651.6 OTA -DO NOT INSTALL

Well it seems sprint is hard at work to patch the exploit to regain root. They are pushing 2.27.651.6 OTA (over the air) update today. do not download or install untill it has been verified safe, it is beleived to be a patch to fix the root exploit.

This is just a friendly warning.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rrr571:
Success!!!

Uninstalling apps worked. I got the free space on the phone up to 75mb, then ran exploit successfully.

Major thanks to all involved!! MY wife will be happy as I will not be getting my ROM fix on her Hero anymore.

:D:D:D:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revcp:
Done!

Excellent! Quick and easy (although I had to re enter step 8, so be patient if that happens to any of the rest of you). Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
Hey, so I could hammer out a basic Auto-Rooter like flipz did tonight. But before I tackle it is Flipz working on one? I know he is working on an EVO one, but will that one work for Hero as well???

Not sure how different the exploits are and if there is a different build for each phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revcp:
another quick question. Do I now have permission to uninstall TV, Nascar, NFL, etc., etc? How to go about it? I don't get an uninstall option on Rom apps when I go in through menu/settings/etc.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] athanos:
Read back through this thread. I think this question has already been answered.

What about Apps2SD

Anybody figure out if we can load A2SD on this yet, and if so how????
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lostnfound53:
Now that the phone is rooted, you can flash the 2.1 stock ROM that has a2sd enabled.

2 problems.

Apps2SD icon issue:

I am running Froyo rooted. I have that AWD launcher and gray status bar+transparent power strip. Everything was fine until I tried to morph this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=6147593#post6147593

It seem to have froze and looped so I shut down. My icons for my apps on my SD card would show like this (daughters games) I did use the force method thru adb..Prior to me attempting to flash this transparent status bar I had no problems. I even did a nandroid and still no luck.

Now my better cut issue is, when i click edit shortcut to create custom icons i get this, followed by a FC. Are they saying I have to buy Home Cut or whatever?

About me:

I have a mytouch3g running cyanogenmod 5.0.7ds

I have a mac, so most (pretty much all) of the boot screen instructions won't work for me.

The questions I have:

How can I change the boot screens on my mt3g

I found a .png that is awesome and I want to make it my first boot screen, how can I differentiate which boot screen I am changing?

Is there a less complex way of changing a boot screen than have been described? like a simple flash from recovery or something?

That doesnt help. i've read all the post about it already and they are all for windows, linux and the g1. none of which I have.
[Android Themes] bennyha:
...A little help

If you have the Android SDK installed on your Mac... (which you should already have done) Kick your phone into "Fastboot" (I.E. Power+Back Button) From your Mac... Open up CMD line, and follow the same instructions you found for windows. Its really no different. As, long as you have properly installed the SDK and USB Drivers on your Mac. :confused: Hope this helps. :D

I really need help with this.
[Android Themes] jrharvey:
Easy fix to all this. Take your desired boot screen and place it on your sd card. DO NANDROID BACKUP. Use Root explorer and copy and paste that bootanimation.zip into system/media folder and then reboot. Thats all there is to it :D

EDIT: Oh im sorry. Just noticed you want the boot IMAGE not the Boot animation. Sorry :(
[Android Themes] bkrill:
I asked this same question about two days ago but put it in the android themes section. So far every response i have gotten has not worked. I know how to flash the splash screen when i get the correct image file, but my problem has been finding a way to change a .png or.jpg image into a .rgb565 image file. Every topic on xda that tells you how to do this requires a .exe program which me and you both know we can't run on mac without paying 50+ dollars for an extra program. I continue to look but so far the only solution i have come up with is to borrow a friends windows computer to convert my pictures. Unfortunately i just moved to a new city and don't know anyone with a windows computer. best of luck to you.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr3yh0und:
Hi

I'm currently having problem with apps they are auto opening themselves.

Sometimes at startup when I open my open and use Helix/ADW all launcher manu apps are open automatically. It eats like 50MB of memory and battery.

And even while my screen turns off it opens app. I was sleeping and my screen is turn off/sleep and I check task panel it got apps open even the screen is lock.

Got No Idea on this. Why my apps are auto opening.

And do I need to debrand?

I just got a unit Unlocked

X10i

Baseband 1.0.14

Build Number R1FA014

Kernel 2.6.29-rel semc-android@SEMC#2

Do I really need to debrand?

Does it reset my phone and my settings/apps will be deleted?

TIA
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iead1:
It's not the X10, it's an Android thing.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr3yh0und:
Then how to get rid of this auto opening app? I never exp. this on 1.5 and 2.1 on my HTC Hero just on this 1.6
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iead1:
Get Automatic Task Killer or something similar, and set it to kill apps on open...if you find the apps opening affects your performance.

Also, if they're apps that sync with a service, make sure all syncing is off, or they'll keep coming up anyway, to try to sync with the cloud.

as a personal anecdote, once I stopped using task killers, the phone started running more stable and quicker.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr3yh0und:
So Task killers are not good?

I check my Task Panel once i boot my phone tons of APPS are open

Like Bluetooth file transfer

SMS Backup and Restore

Email

Alarm Clock

Calender

Settings Voice Dialer

It opens on startup.

seriously I just boot up my phone and use ADW Launcher and those open up automatically? what does those do? for startup? there are tons more like 25 apps on startup. This thing is not good since I'll do task killing always even the phone is screen off. My phone is opening Voice Dialer Handsent SMS even though i dont have message or calls received.

It's like every min or hour I'll do task killing it kills battery
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iead1:
Well, Alarm Clock has to be on, so it knows when to go off... If you don't have any alarms set, delete all the alarms that are in it.

Email is on by default, since it's a smart phone. If you don't have an account set up, email won't sync, and thus, isn't really doing anything. Calendar will attempt to sync with google if you set it up, but if not, again, shouldn't be doing anything. SMS will start to monitor for incoming SMSes. A lot of services start so they're there when you try to start them up. Basically, anything that has to sync to the internet to update will start automatically.

If things like Photoshop Mobile or a game or something start up, those should be killed.

Stand alone apps that don't access the internet should have no business starting up on their own.

Some people on here claim task killers are great and help a lot... some claim they do nothing. I'm torn, because the phone feels a bit faster than when I used the task killer everytime I unlocked the phone. If your phone is new, cycle the battery a few times, and let it 'break in' and, eventually, the battery life should improve.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr3yh0und:
Thanks. I'm just a little bit worried that I'm not aware that there are many task opening with me noticing or knowing it and use much battery as I do.

Some apps open automatically
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sanjay:
I know that apps auto close ok , here's its invers..

Any how use some task killers frequently to kill them....

PS: Sorry if spam on this thread but i cant make new threads on this app (or i can but i cannot figure it out) :D :D
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr Goodvibes:
Android works by loading EVERYTHING it can into memory, up to a threshold and then removes apps from memory if they're not being used and memory is required for newly initiated applications.

Some apps have a terminate and stay resident approach and are seen as 'services' and they just stay active no matter what. Email, Calendars and status bar and etc never leave memory cause they're all waiting for there big moment, an email, an appointment, a finger touch etc.

Using a task killer doesn't really do anything, cause as soon as you 'kill' the process and the moment there is available memory again the process will just return to active/inactive memory because that's the way Android memory processing works.

If you have root access you can delete/freeze system apps you don't require.

A 'slim' Android v2.3 ROM shouldn't have more than approx 110 system apps. Less that 95 if you're good.

Most of the apps you listed are system apps and will, by their nature find there way into memory all the time. That's just how it is.

After a few hours of use many of the non-used apps will drop out of memory and others will take their place.

Loading applications into memory has a time and processing cost and so if it's already in memory, it's quicker to access.

However the Android system doesn't know your usage traits at start-up and that's why some less used system applications may be seem in memory until they're weeded out by those you do use. Again, nothing to worry about,

Using an XPERIA X10i with ~384MB of memory leaves little room for bloatware and thus a lean running machine is the order of the day for the XPERIA X10i.

I purchased an HTC Dash over Ebay. I only have the phone unit and the charger.

But the unit is charging its battery when plugged to the laptop.

Please help. :(

[myTouch 3G Slide General] kstar54:
Alright, I got my Slide yesterday, and overall I am happy, but here are some things I have found. If anyone can help solve any of these issues, I will be indebted. This are in no particular order, just as I can remember them!

1. Can the LED change colors? My 3rd party apps have been unable to change the color.

2. MyModes:

Can I manually enter the location at which I wish the mode to change? Right now I need to be physically at the location for it to recognize that is where I want the mode to change.

Can I change the ringtone to vibrate instead of silent under mymode settings?

3. Custom notification ringtone: I can see the ringtones I have put on my SD card in some apps, but not in others. For instance, in Gmail - I cannot get my custom ringtone to show up in avaialbe ring tones, but I see it in other apps.

4. My GPS is ALWAYS searching

5. MyFaves: How do I turn off the notification for myfaves activity? CAn you turn my faves off?

6. Can you turn Sense (Expresso Sense, TMO sense, whatever they are calling it) off? Too many duplicate apps (mail, gmail, htc mail, music, htc music, 3 different messaging apps)

7. The messaging icon always displays an unread message, even tho I have read the message.

Thats all I have come up with, or can remember. What "bugs" have others found/fixed? Any one heard of an update to correct some of these bugs?

Thanks

At the moment no. But then again there hasnt been any dev. for this phone yet so its hard to tell if it suppports it.

Not exactly sure on how the my modes determines the location. buti only have 2 one for home and one for away.

try ringdroid. also do you have the folder structure correct in your sdcard for the notification sounds.

i dont have this problem. make sure your gps is switched to be active and not just use cell towers

i dont use this feature it seams to get in the way of the phone. but i also noticed when i tested it. that when a fav person sent a message ... when i opened it once in any form it was read all the way around.

install another launcher for eclair and then from homescreen menu > settings > applications > manage applications > htc sence > remove default > hit home > choose new launcher

this happend to me a simple restart solved the problem. this also happend on htc touchflo 2d, 3d on windows mobile so im going to say this is a htc bug.

A bug I noticed: plug in the USB, and there's 3 different modes: sdcard access, sync, and charge only. Setting it to charge only launches the sync software on the PC, setting it to sync mode does not. Also, it seems to turn USB debug mode off and on by itself.
