Search button must be broken.

Anyways, this is the same exploit, except in an app format.

You still need to flash a recovery image to flash new ROMs.

This just gives you root.
[Hero CDMA General] gunnyman:
Sorry I brought it up now :D

[Hero CDMA General] Decad3nce:
No, it's awesome you brought it to everyones attention. It's very handy.

Just some people might confuse this and regaw's method ^

:P
[Hero CDMA General] gunnyman:
I look at this as regaw's method for dummies :p

If only I had a Hero to try it out on.
[Hero CDMA General] aacevedo17:
Thanks decad3nce! Which recovery image do we flash?

Hopefully that's what it is, but I wasn't experiencing any problems like this until I installed and ran the .apk

I can get everything back with just a soft reset now, but everytime I open the wireless tether app, the superuser box pops up and I select "allow" and then my internet access stops working even after I close the app. I have to soft reset again.

Was there anything else needed to be done after rooting with this method?
[Hero CDMA General] mlblack16:
I looked at the wireless tether app from the market and I don't think that version will work with 2.1 Heros. I went to the developer's website and installed a different version. Everything seems to be working like a charm. Suh-weet!

I don't know if I even want a custom ROM...yet. I have wanted that wireless tether capability and now I want the vanilla 2.1 lockscreen instead of the stupid Hero Sense one which is too easy to unlock and takes up half the screen for your pic
[Hero CDMA General] jporter12:
I didn't see WHO put out this one to even make the connection.
[Hero CDMA General] dsiminiuk:
The OTA update seems to have fixed most of the issues with the 2.27.651.5 release. I saw the question asked earlier in this thread about whether this unrevoked apk works with the recent OTA update to .6. Or did I just screw myself by loading that .6 OTA update?

TIA
[Hero CDMA General] mslisaj:
I just sent a friend with a three month old 1.5 Hero the full instructions to root his phone. But just to confirm he can download this .apk click on it in his download folder and it will root his phone???? This is almost too good to be true. So before I send him the link I just want to ask the question one more time.

Thanks for your help........

Lisa ;)
[Hero CDMA General] dre4402:
what i would like to kno if i do this method of rooting do i have to install a rom in order to remove preloaded apps or just install then afterwards go by the instructions in the guide to remove the apps????
[Hero CDMA General] gunnyman:
All the evoked.apk does is give you root access. After that you still need to install a custom recovery etc etc
[Hero CDMA General] SuperSaints:
I have no clue about this stuff but I just want to have tethering on my Hero. So can I do this 1 step method and have that or do I need to do these other things you are talking about? I like the stock rom.

Thanks for any help!
[Hero CDMA General] gunnyman:
if all you want is root, then yeah that's all you need to do.
[Hero CDMA General] SuperSaints:
Thanks! Will this method also block the OTA's? And being a noob like I am; does root let me go get tethering and I don't need to do anything else?
[Hero CDMA General] gunnyman:
No this only roots the phone. That's all
[Hero CDMA General] joehunni:
Wish it worked, said rooted but it didn't work.
[Hero CDMA General] vinny8030:
so it does not work on the latest ota update from sprint?:confused:
[Hero CDMA General] vinny8030:
WOW gettin kinda lonely out here in the cold people.:rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA General] NomadHellfire:
It does indeed work on the Sprint Hero, but with Sprint RUU 2.27.651.5. If you have 2.27.651.6 installed you'll need to downgrade to the .5 version first. The only noticable difference in the to software versions is that the .6 version has patched the exploit used to gain Root access from this method.
[Hero CDMA General] vinny8030:
alright thanks for the info.
[Hero CDMA General] arodey:
confirmed, after downgrading to .5

[XPERIA X10 General] MarylandCookie:
My understanding is the patent is on MultiTouch not DualTouch.

The HTC Desire has DualTouch and NOT MultiTouch for this exact reason, nowhere have HTC stated that their handset has multitouch, they ONLY and explicitly said "Pinch to Zoom" and automatically everyone assumed multitouch!:D

This is the same reason why SE have not included MultiTouch (Apple will even sue their pet GOLDFISH too!!), instead of paying to use multitouch they opted to save the money and leave the feature out.

However, im going on a limb here and going to be optimistic on this situation and "hope" they have at the very least included a Dual Touch display!
[XPERIA X10 General] gaolinde:
i remember that i readed a post here in xda before mentioned that multitouch for x10 is possible to be achive by kernel code or something.

anyway i dont think se will keep their mouth shut about ther will give x10 dualtouch if they really working on this. this is hurting they sales.
[XPERIA X10 General] noblackthunder:
i think the x10 has at least a dual touch screen. they said that they maybe give a sw update to fix this and long after this phone h s been on the m rket they say there is hw problem. cant belive they found out after the phone was in masse produktion that they notice it dosen... no way! i think its to expensive for the license. but maybe we find out about tyat if the root will be archived ;-)

x10 screen senstivity is allot better than desire and nexusone ,this means it uses a more advanced digitizer ,i think low end digitizers that supports single touc doesnot give this quality ,may be afterall it is patent issues ,remember even nexus one after getting the pinch to zoom update ,apple sued them ,may be sony don't want to get troubles as x10 is also sold in usa
[XPERIA X10 General] gaolinde:
i have no idea how you guys define good sensitive but for me i always misclick something when i m scrolling and i assume this is bad sensitive
[XPERIA X10 General] noblackthunder:
yep thats what i mean :S this is also why they dont say witch touchscreen model the x10 has ... just think about that ...
[XPERIA X10 General] hoss_n2:
you must try htc phones to know how x10 is ,its senstivity is much more better
[XPERIA X10 General] yetep:
On a more serious and realistic note... do you not think apple has had this thing in pieces to see if anything is infringing a copyright? Producing something then pretending its not there doesn't work anymore. Its a case of

Make it > Copy it > Get found out > Sued.

Its not as simple as keeping hushhush.... however....

The copyright worries might contribute to the X10s stupidly thick security layer and also them being so quiet about the hardware used in the device.

Until its updated or rooted we'll never know so why speculate?

-------------------------------------
[XPERIA X10 General] noblackthunder:
im not shure if appel has the patent on how the hw works... since there are many ways to do multi / dual touche.... the problem is the idea on using more the one finger ... that they patent ... ( witch they bought for nothing ) and then claming to everyone who makes a good product that protecting there hard work and ideas. so that they can make shure there are the number one ... appel has in fact more patens then the most company ... they find an idea ( by sem self or others) and then they paten this ...only to make shure they have total control over everyone O.o ... appels is one of the most evil company there is ... and they tell more lies than everyone else is doing ....

edit :

reat this .. and you understant why se claims there is a hw problem ...and dont tell us what model it has ...http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/28/apple-vs-palm-the-in-depth-analysis/ its about appel and palm
[XPERIA X10 General] Cnrl:
Multitouch does it really matter? I don’t think so, as long the screen is responsive what the heck.

Most game on Cell phone sucks, if a want a gaming device touch screen is the last option.

Steve Jobs can keep is Multitouch and is lawsuit, apple start to feel like Microsoft a couple year ago, try to monopolize the market with scare tactics and steeling idea from all the other company.
[XPERIA X10 General] wrongfeifong:
Don't worry, don't like Apple's multitouch make you jealous.

Soon soon, xperia 10 will be able to DOCK on the PSP go just like power ranger's zoid.

Then we will have DUAL screen just like a NDS, watch those Iphone holder get so jealous of us by then.

Very soon. And we get square enix design games for us. Final fantasy XV only on Xperia 10 PSP GO!

Watch your friend throw out iphone 2 and come to us!.
[XPERIA X10 General] arcticreaver:
Ookay on a serious note. I have both the x10 and n1. Multi touch for me is over rated. The browser automatically zooms out of the web page every time I visit a site and I have to 2 finger it everytime. Not a big deal except the n1's screen is not as responsive as the x10.

So at times its a pain to multitouch and to do it everytime is kinda too much for me.

What I'm trying to say is that the touch screen on Tue x10 is way better that the n1. Not sure if this is the case with all HTC phones, but so far I wish my n1 has the x10 touch screen. Way more responsive and way easier to move around and type and navigate.

Simplicity is the phone so I think I have to give the x10 a plus on the touch screen versus the n1. Right now my main browser is opera, which doesn't have multitouch support. If that is saying something.

As you probably know, I want to add signing and installing functionality to apktool. But I don't plan to make any kind of GUI for it, so such wrapper is a very good thing for many users, thanks :-)

What is "Option to optimize the apks"?
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
I was thinking of incorporating the script "apkopt" it was basically using optipng to optimize the png's and then used zip align on the apks. Thanks btw, this tool wudnt exist without ur awesome script :)

I just did this so ppl would stop asking questions like "How do i change this/that in an app"

Here this is wht im talking about Link

[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Re: Apk Manager 1.0 - Makes Modifying Ur Apk A Breeze

I have already incorporated "adb push" into the script.

What app are you trying to edit ? also are you editing pngs only or code editing ?

Hop on Here im helping someone out so ill help u 2 :)
[G1 Android Development] anomalous3:
There's a lot of things in /system that benefit from the optimized .pngs. Vending.apk, for instance, shrunk to half the size and runs a bit quicker and smoother now. Even framework-res.apk enjoyed the optimization. Paid apps, on the other hand, don't seem to fare so well; perhaps they check the md5sum of the app or something.
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Yea png optimization works for almost all apks, zipalign on the other hand as i recall doesnt work on certain system apks such as settings.apk. Im prolly gonna incorporate apkopt's script into this which would allow to optimize a folder full of apks. As for paid apps not being optimized, a lot of dev already do their part on making the apk as small as possible, so perhaps thats the case.
[G1 Android Development] anomalous3:
hmm, after trying a couple of unpaid apps, it seems that perhaps the testkeys aren't compatible with my build. For any signed app, I get an error "Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE]"
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Yes when u modify a non system apk, they need to be resigned, and you cannot resign it with same key as dev cuz u dont know it :) hence anytime u modify an app, u must uninstall it, install the modded version, and from then on any change u make u dont have to uninstall as the keys will match
[G1 Android Development] anomalous3:
ahhh thanks. My mistake was just removing the package rather than uninstalling it.
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
Getting this on a zipalign. The file is there but it is repackaged-unsigned.apk and throws this error:

Please make your decision: 5

ve

Could Not Find E:\ApkManager\place-apk-here\repackaged-signed.apk

The system cannot find the file specified.

Nevermind....looks like it is by design that it tries both signed and unsigned and throws the error on the file that does not exist. It's just I did not see any zipalign output
[G1 Android Development] hurtem:
having an issue that when I go to resign an apk the file deletes after running the script.. am I missing something here?
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Lol wht i meant was, well let me give u an example. I was porting the mtt keyboard from droidx. Now if i decompiled/removed shared uid/compiled the keyboard worked fine but id get some class errors n one of the keys "&and" would be out of context. Now if i just took the androidmanifest.xml from my modified apk and replaced that inside the original(unmodified) apk and installed THAT, it'd work fine.
[G1 Android Development] ryo-ohki:
The Linux file is Apk_Manager_Linux_4.3.zip. Where is 4.4?
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Oh I shud've renamed it. Anyway Linux 4.3 is same as windows 4.4 I was just lacking a few features.
[G1 Android Development] thatguythatdid:
Okay so I got the name change to work. Well there are three names to each apk:

one the external name is what shows up in your menu and manage apps (ths is located in res-values-strings.xml)

two is the name that is shown in /data/app

three is shown in /data/data

So far changing the external name has shown no problems working on the other two
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
Do you mean package name?
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Hey brut have a question for u. ne way to change the package name using apktool ?
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
Typical answer: decode an app and follow steps for changing package name in app sources ;-)

Unfortunately this isn't easy task, because package name is referenced in many places of an app. And it's impossible to change it automatically, you must do it by yourself.
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Right so this is wht i've been doing till now, i decode the app. Then i have this program that can search a folder and its files for a string of text. I look up the package name in the manifest n tell the program to search that. Anywhere it finds it i replace it with a different package name. I compile and try to run the app but it force closes. When i refer to the log, its still trying to find the old package/classes. :confused:
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
Err... I think you do something wrong. App can't magically create old name, huh? ;-)

And as I said this isn't that easy. "some.package.name" string in a code doesn't have to be a package name really. It may be a Java package name of some class (Reflection API) or maybe a part of an URL? This is the reason, why you can't do it fully automatically.
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Ugh, i see. I'll keep trying, basically im trying to make the keyboard from droidx a standalone app for non-root users. For root users it works good cuz they just uninstall the default keyboard and install this one, but nonroot users cant touch the /system/app partition so they're in a fix. Cool thnx for u help.
[G1 Android Development] zach.xtr:
Possible wrong answer but to be sure do you need to clear dalvk cache or any other saved values on the phone?
[G1 Android Development] N3xt2N0N3:
Any word on a Mac version?
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Nope. no ones porting it as far as i know :(
[G1 Android Development] thatguythatdid:
Yes (com.fancywidget.whatever)

So to get this to work I would have to change every reference in the apk to the package name? I was wondering if

adb remount
adb shell
cd /data/app
mv com.fancywidget.blah com.smooth.blamo

would automatically change the apk for me. Probably too easy.
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
No, definitely not ;-)
[G1 Android Development] thatguythatdid:
about that is it okay to sign system apks? I'm making a script to sign all apks (you have to to get visual voicemail to work)
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Hmm im still unfamiliar with this whole signing every apk with same key. I tried doing that with an apk that had a shared uid so i though why not sign every apk with that shared uid with same key, didnt work :(

Anyway ur *sign all apks* reminds me that i need to update apk manager, i added this option a while back when i was trying the same thing ;)

So Apk manager 4.5 :

* Batch sign apks

* When batch optimizing apks u have an option to zipalign, optipng or both
[G1 Android Development] thatguythatdid:
So basically what your saying is that you've already done the work for me and all I need to do is just keep working on these fancywidget themes. Also did you delete everything in the meta-inf folder when you tried
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Hmmm. Well its a good safety feature ill keep in mind for next release. Yes the not emptying the meta-inf is a concern when certain apk's dont have the same filenames for the sf,rsa,mf. So if its by a different filename, u'll try signing it n u'll end up with double of each file type. So essentially if ur sure the meta-inf folders all have cert.rsa,cert.ssf,manifest.mf then u're fine.
[G1 Android Development] Roladriz:
Thank you for the heads up on this toolDaneshm90. I got the apk decompiled, made my text edit changes and tried to rebuild .apk. I went to the out folder and there is an apk folder there but the only thing in there is classes.dex file. Once again I apologize for the green skin but ..Where does the tool distribute the built apk? I remember going to dist folder before and then renaming the .apk and then sign. [I posted this in brut.all thread I will go edit my post to keep clean.]

[G1 Android Development] tommytomatoe:
Which frameworks did you install prior to decompile? You need framework res and com.htc.res
[G1 Android Development] dfskevinohyeah:
I'm pretty sure he was trying to decompile a skin like musiclovers.apk, and it failed but he should just extract the apk and modify the pngs then create a zip from it and rename it to a .apk then sign it :) but then evanlisin pointed out that there are no m10 files in those apks so one will have to "grab them from a fusion apk"
