Yup.

$ ls /data/data/com.android.browser/app_appcache

ls /data/data/com.android.browser/app_appcache

opendir failed, Permission denied

Also I have noticed that though Flash works for me in the browser (can play flash games, whatismyflash.com, etc) I don't seem to have any of the "????????????????????????????????" length files created anywhere I can see.

There were some in /data/data/com.android.browser/flashlite/sharedobjects dated a few weeks ago or so.
[Droid Eris Android Development] thisismyanonymousaccount:
What the deuce. I need to brush up on my Linux. I thought that the execute permission on a directory granted permission to list the contents of of the directory.

Other then that, i saw a bunch of the ????...etc... files created when i did this yesterday and used the flash247 site. The files were in the app_appcache, which explains why you cant see them.

back to the drawing board i guess.

Sorry.
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
Actually you are you right, totally correct man about the appcache and the reboot thing. Um, maybe this method is impossible, at least, with our current scripts we're using. But I guess we shouldn't give up yet, keep trying.
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
I believe its read permission to the directory that one requires.

And I'm gonna keep saying its doable, but currently our downfall is that we can't simply ls the folder - it does exist - but no one with this version of 2.1 has read access to that folder. Quite honestly I've been looking at each command without context really so I couldn't even argue why it is we ls that directory
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
You know what, I bet we need to have root access to view that folder using the ls command. So this is a catch 22 essentially. To get root you need root in this case, right? Unless there's still something we're doing wrong in this step.
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
With more time I could probably figure it out - but could someone explain we need to ls that directory? we don't really do anything with it - or is this why the rms that follow the ls will screw it up later...? good lord there has to be a way. If not I'm just gonna smash my phone, go ***** at verizon, pay the money down for refurb and root that ***** cause i'm getting confused. No more crazy unrootable leaks for this guy
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
YEAH!!! You go do that jphenow. Telling it like it is, stick it to them my good man!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] jimbonj:
If you're testing on an already rooted phone that auto-roots you in the shell, you might be able to use 'su' to see what a normal user would see.

The non-root user in adb shell is the username 'shell', so if su works like it would on a linux box (since I've never gotten root I don't know how su works on Android) you can get to the root prompt and do a 'su shell' and test things out with the shell user to check the privileges us less fortunate 2.1 OTA users have :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] cptkrush:
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but refurbs are shipping with 1.49.0000 Hboot because they are being loaded with the 2.1 RUU
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
Yea maybe jPhenow and I should keep our phones the way they are evidently and NOT get a refurb according to cptkrush. But then again we are free to do what we want...
[Droid Eris Android Development] jimbonj:
If I understand the exploit correctly:

Internet app downloads flash to a predictable directory name

Internet app tells Flashlite the filename and flashlite chmod's the file and runs it

The script running sees the directory, deletes it and creates a symlink to /dev/mtd/mtd1 (the device representing a partition on the file system to which we normally have only read access). This happens between the internet app finishing downloading the files and the Flashlite app chmod'ing the file. Flashlite accidently chmod's /dev/mtd/mtd1 world writeable.

Anyone who actually knows how it works better than this please feel free to chiime in.
[Droid Eris Android Development] thisismyanonymousaccount:
That is how it works as far as i can tell to.

I think we are out of luck.

Sorry guys.
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
Well just took a **** on my day... alright then evo-script it is :)

Okay so that's what it does, is there any way some of this process can be done where non-rooters have access to stuff and can still therefore exploit this or are we royally screwed?

I really wish I had either a rooted phone so that could compare or just some more resources to use so i can understand the android enviro a bit better. Some sleepless nights and red bull next week could push some results, but who knows. I hate that this is the weekend I'm busy... I want to do this now.
[Droid Eris Android Development] :

[Droid Eris Android Development] ericFuels999:
I think it would be OK if you made your own thread specifically about the evo root method adapted to eris. That way you will have full control over the OP. It would be easier than trying to go through a third party, namely the OP of this thread.

Yes my friend please create a new thread about the Eris using EVO root method subject apart from this thread. Good luck with that!

This the new site for us attempting to fix this leak BS. I'm planning to try and use github for the 2 scripts we're working with and hopefully I can keep up with the edits. I may ask to share ownership of those files if I start falling behind - I'd feel bad if people are sitting around waiting too much to get the current version, but I'll do my best.
[HD2 Accessories] Chaebi69:
Today at XDA Portal, I saw some people found a macro lense for their HTC EVO. I'm jealous :( You can go ahead and check the thread here.

So I want to discuss possible compatible macro lens for the HTC HD2. Looking at the macro lens for the HTC EVO, it's round in shape. We also know for a fact that the EVO's camera is round, while the HD2 is a bit square-and-round-ish, so I thought this isn't going to work well on our HD2.

Similar products:

-Jelly Lens

-Adjustable Camera Lens

So what do you guys think?
[HD2 Accessories] calc:
If you want really good pictures you use a camera, if you want really good video you use a camcorder, simple as that. Let's face it the HD2 will always be a phone first, and having those huge attachments to carry around for some macro shots... you might as well just bring a camera, it just isn't sensible.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] cyanide1973:
Hey i just picked up a new unlocked galaxy s and am trying to use it on bell in alberta . When i first put the sim in everything was fine in was in edmonton the when i hit the road and started to head home (about 2 hours north east) it just showed a circle with a line thought it. I have searched for providers and bell shows up but when i try and connect it said this sim card can not register on this network. any ideas maybe sim card is bad but i just replaced it about a 2 months ago.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cyanide1973:
bump any ideas anyone
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
where did you get phone..

1. some were sent out incorrectly locked to orange

2. maybe the carrier only has 850ghz 3g in that area.. if it works in other areas.

that may be the issue. try setting it to 2g only and see if you get a signal.
[Touch GSM General] sagar_tiru2006:
Hi guyz. I am no programmer but i came across this little tool and thought might share it with you guyz. I am just an End User and the complete credit to this App goes to the Admin of T2 Remote Touch

Okie herez the steps itz very simple :-

1) Download T2 Remote Touch Delta v2.0

2) Connect your Phone through Active Sync and Run the MSI file and Install T2 Remote Touch.

3) Next you will get and option to Install the App in the Phone with Message "Install T2 Remote Touch using the default Installation Directory". If you want to install the app in Phone Memory Click yes Else Select no and Select your Storage Card (Recommended).

4) Now go to your phone and complete the setup.

5) COme back to your desktop and Finish the Setup.

6) You will see a window with 2 ip Addresses one to control through Internet and one through local WiFi or WLAN. Note down watever u need and press any key to continue.

7) Next Step is to configure the Server Right click the Remote Touch Server Icon in the SysTray and click Setup. These setup the port no. and the password for your server. If your server is behind a router then make sure to allow the port no. u set for port forwarding.

8) All done now start the app in your mobile. Most probably you will get a Authentication Failed, because the default settings might not work for everyone. Go to Menu > Setup. Put in there the IP Address, Port and Password you have and all done you can now control your PC from your mobile after connection.

9) Use Scroll to move through the desktop and tap for left click. I hope u can figure out the rest of it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xplod420:
Ever sense i upgraded to 91 i get an Launcher error saying that it failed to lunch in the applications. Does any one else have this problem? How could i fix it?
[Shift General] infernojericho:
Hi there, I recently bought a second hand HTC Shift, the only catch is the Shift I bought doesn't include the Hard Drive and its Hard Drive Connector Cable to the motherboard.

I have a spare 30GB 1.8 inch ZIF Hard Drive lying around, so all I need is the cable.

Finding the cable turns out to be a painstaking and monumental process. I asked the HTC Service center, but what they are charging is beyond obscene, so I went to China, and asked most of the shops, but it seems they are quite oblivious to this little beast. I later realized one thing though, the HDD connector on the Motherboard is pretty much symmetrical to the ZIF connector on the Hard Drive itself.

So I got a standard cable for the 1.8 inch ZIF Hard Drive. The cable does fit on the connector on the motherboard. I was thrilled to see it fitted, but my joy didn't last very long. Although the HDD LED did light up upon start up, the BIOS is unable to detect any hard drives. And I have tested the hard drive on another computer and it is confirmed to function properly.

My question is whether it is a must to get the original HTC Shift Hard Drive cable, the cable that is circular and fits around the ventilation fan? Or could there be a problem with the chipset itself which prevents the hard drive from being detected? I wanted to make sure what the issue is before hunting for the original HTC Shift HDD cable.

Any reply is appreciated!
[Shift General] infernojericho:
Just took some photos of the cable, should make it much easier for you guys:
[Shift General] TopRowGuywithFeet:
I'm fairly certain you need that cable. I too tried several other cables, non of which worked, after pressing too hard on the cable and splicing the wires. I had to get a whole other Shift, 'cause I managed to break it in several other ways too, but the cable was the first way. Always press on the two "thumbs" sticking out, if/when you can ever find one.
[Shift General] infernojericho:
Thanks for the reply, I am certainly pleasantly surprised that someone responded within hours.

My biggest concern here is whether the motherboard chipset is defective, thinking back, it seems quite weird for someone to lose the hard drive and the cable, that is unless the seller is well aware of this and deliberately took away the hard drive and the cable.

The cable I used (seen in the photo) is brand new, so I don't think the cable is defective. I am quite concerned on the hard drive LED being on, but nothing is being detected, could this is a early sign of motherboard chipset troubles?

I have contacted HTC earlier, they are asking almost $200USD for the HDD cable + 40GB HDD, not to be sold separately. Damn!

Thanks again!!!
[Shift General] pikefish:
turn over the cable and connect into motherboard socket.It helped me.:D
[Shift General] Dogshit:
For what you paid for airfare and hotel to China you should have just bought the cable from HTC and saved the money. Even if you got free airfare and room and board your time is worth more than the money you would saved traveling to another country in search of a freggin cable... come on man.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chaoscentral:
Now correct me if I'm wrong here, but I believe it is currently not possible to use a dualshock 3 or sixaxis with Android correct?

Well I was digging through the Samsung Galaxy S' source code and came across a bunch of files in the eclair build's folders. More specifically a bunch of files which lead me to believe they added Dualshock 3 connectivity to the Galaxy S through some means. If anyone wants to take a look at the attached file, be my guest.

I found these files in the \external\bluetooth\bluez\input folder

the main files seam to be

fakehid

for decoding the PS3's output into fake keypresses, and

sixpair

for pairing the controller.

Any experienced Android system modders care to take a look and possible add support for dualshock 3 and sixaxis into as many builds as we can?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Keegan_P:
You may not be able to use dualshock, but you are definately able to use a Wiimote, at least it's gamepad. I use the pp found on the market for my Mother 3 ROM playing cuse I don't have Multitouch on my X10, plus it looks cool to be able to control your phone with a Wiimote.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chaoscentral:
so now that has me thinking, what if you set the master address of your dualshock 3 to your phones BT address and tried to connect, thats how you have to do it on Windows Mobile because Sony decided the best way to pair a bluetooth controller is by cable :rolleyes:

EDIT: I'd try but I don't have an Android phone at the moment, killed my HD2 a week ago and waiting for the Samsung Vibrant to come out.

I just recently found myself wishing for this when the PSX emulator came out.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ObscureCaucasian:
I've done some googling and came across this this source.

So it appears that sixpair.c is a common linux application that will search USB busses for sixaxis controllers. The issue with connecting to something like an Android device is that the Sixaxis pairs over USB (no pushbutton like on the Wiimote), so it will be tricky to get paired with a phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kennethlongshaw:
I know the Nokia N900 guys managed to get the sixaxis working with Maemo 6 so its not impossible

tomasz dot sterna dot tv/2010/02/play-games-on-nokia-n900-with-ps3-sixaxis-controller/
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ObscureCaucasian:
Makes sense, he just uses sixpair on a linux machine to pass the bt address of his phone (as opposed to the bt address of the actual machine). Ideally we could remove the PC from the equation entirely, but I could settle with this for now.

Do you think that that app will be possible to use on phones that weren't able to use the wiimote apps? (for example phones with sense, and samsungs galaxy series)
