[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] twilk73:
Man I was really liking the settings in ADW. I flashed a new rom and forgot to back up first so I lost a crap load so I guess while im at it ill give launcher pro a second chase lol.

Is there a setting in LP that allows me to lower the phone bar and have apps pop up below it? In ADW i had all the phone settings like phone, messages, apps, mail, Vmail and then if I swiped up the task bar would lower and I had all my favorit contacts stored down there. Its a really cool feature. I just dont know if I can deal with not having notification numbers lol I have been using HTC phones for so long now I am use to seeing them and not seeing them will take some getting use to.

Maybe there is an app in the market or someone has something I can dowload to use so I can get the notifaction icons to display numbers?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sfox8:
I know how you feel. I love both launcher pro and ADW but there are some features from both that i just wish I could just merge into one. Like the ability to change drawer background color/opacity like in ADW or the 3D drawer in launcher pro, the Galaxy S homescreen dots in ADW, the dock in ADW or the ability to swipe to the next dock in launcher pro. I wish launcher pro was as smooth in scrolling as ADW.

But they don't want to "copy" each other's features apparently... It just makes it harder to choose which one I want to use though because there are certain times when I prefer a certain aesthetic or feature of one and I have to keep switching back and forth.

I personally think they should just work together on one bad-a** launcher. I'd honestly pay a healthy amount for that app if they decided to charge...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] twilk73:
Love the swipe feature in ADW and if you close the dock in ADW you can actually set apps, icons or even peope icons down there if you set say 15 people down there that dock will swipe back and forth. So there are very few things in LP that i like that ADW doesnt have. But like you said it goes both ways. Really if ADW had a notification counter that would seal the deal because swiping the finger to open or close a specific action is so freaking awsome plus the galaxy dots at the top like you said are nice but not a deal breaker. LP does have a scroll bar you can use at the bottom but its not very noticable and seem to always be on unlike the galaxy dots. Well ADW is my choice but I choose to not use it its going to be because it doesn notify my with a number icon lol. I am trying LP now and I noticed that if you use the regular mail app icon for gmail it wont post a number too it will only post a number to the gmail app. Which for me sucks because the gmail app sucks. Well its not as refind as the stock mail app is the stock mail app is really nice compaired to the gmail one. The gmail one looks rather raw. So as of this moment the only thing giving me any notification numbers is the messages with LP so really i mise well use ADW lol and just get use to looking it the notification bar for updates. If thats the case why not just swipe the notifaction bar down every time to check text or mail so why even have the icons on the screen hoggin up space. I mean if I gotta send an email or text im clicking on my person file anyway. Blah the phone has only been out for a month soo I guess we are still working our way to a good launcher. HTC sense has weak options and the widgets are pigs. Most the time the lag when you use them and the 7 screens is way to much for me. I could get buy with just 3 using ADW.

Sorry for rambling.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ElAguila:
I think they concept they have taken seems like a good approach. They are basically saying you don't need to have a separate zune, cell phone, and gaming device(ds or psp) when they have it rolled up into one nice package for you called the Windows 7 phone. I am hoping that they pay close attention to the battery life. I would not want a very feature rich phone that needs an extended battery right out of the gate like some phones in the past have been.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Windcape:
Since the UI is locked down, and there aren't any widgets, it should perform very well compared to Android.

is this just root? it wont wipe out data? i just want to overclock
[Droid Eris Android Development] Dc_striker:
Do that then flash SU
[Droid Eris Android Development] v941726:
sorry but, how do you flash su? and you didnt answer if it wipes out my data.
[Droid Eris Android Development] DS36:
sir im saying this in the most friendly way possible

but i was once just like you new to hacking and lots of questions

but you must understand all the questions you have can be answered by reading on here or google search

everyone is tired of answering the same question of the newbies and trust me i have been flamed

also check out the forum rules about posting questions certain questions go in certain places if you want quick answers....all love bro i want to see you rooted and happy

if you have root

su is Super User access

you need to get the su.apk go here and take a look http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=682828

su allows certain apps to do rooted things including overclocking

btw you will alos new the setcpu app to overclock go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=505419

but before that you still should do some research

good luck to you brother
[Droid Eris Android Development] Father_Vic:
Oooh, don't anger the gods.

They really do get upset in here when you don't know as much as they do.

Let me help...

Run to this thread and read up:

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=724741

There is an automated script that will help you with the root. Many users, including myself had to run it a couple of times before it took - so if it doesn't go off the first time, don't lose faith, just try again.

As for whether or not it wipes, that's moot - You should, after you run the hack flash a custom rom - this will wipe your data. Any ROM you like from the dev forum will do. I am using Froyo v21. But you can certainly try any one you like. As for non-Froyo roms, I like the Cyannogen ELB builds. But again it is your preference that matters.

To flash the new rom, you need to boot into recovery mode. If you run the script from the above thread, it will boot you into recovery mode. If you use the instructions in this thread, type "adb reboot recovery" at your command prompt immediately after you are done. Once there, you can do the following:

-Do a NAND backup

-Put your phone into USB SD mode and copy over your ROM of choice to the root of your SD card.

-Do a factory wipe and a dalvik cache wipe

-flash your new rom

When you flash the new rom, depending on which one you do, you should have su or root. You can then download and install apps that require root.

Remember, you should back-up your data before you try to do anything to your phone. It's just a good idea.

If you have any ROM specific issues, try looking through that ROM's thread for answers. Also, if you have any other questions about how to do anything, the first sticky thread in this forum is a great collection of how-tos. You can also PM Me and I will be happy to help.

Don't forget that a lot of hard work went into rooting leak. Do like many of us have and donate to those responsible.
[Droid Eris Android Development] v941726:
i understand what your saying about asking here. but seriously, i searched and it seems like every thread says the same thing. so i jump all over the place and end up going in circles. i did my sons moto droid yesterday pretty easily. he now has root and a smoking droid w/o disturbing anything else. so, sorry, but it is tough. thanks for your reply. i got this particular thread from android forums and it looked like the one. a new one at that. but i spent several hours going around in circles. googling and everything. i am a noob with linux based phones. yes. but i'm very capable and dont need baby steps. just need some straight answers. so sorry. i will check your links. thanks for your reply
[Droid Eris Android Development] sickbox:
Works just as good as the automated method. Good deal.
[Droid Eris Android Development] v941726:
thanks. this may be dumber yet but, i cant find a way to pm you or anybody her

This should get a sticky :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] xnatex21:
The topic should get deleted...

...and wag3slav3 should just copy/paste this into the bottom of his first post. To me this thread, even with the credit, looks like it's trying to steal his "thunder."
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
wow!? are you serious. thats it. . . that took 8 months, it looks so simple now that its in writing. =(

sad for life

hey better late then never though =) glad you leakers can get root now.

[Droid Eris Android Development] thenestor:
Everyone, if you don't want to do a wipe and install a custom ROM, you can just flash EngTools.zip, courtesy of jcase, and it will add su and superuser.apk without disturbing your existing data (apps, settings, etc).
[Droid Eris Android Development] v941726:
i basically did this but had to go around in circles to do it. i think i got it now. but nestor, you should post this one. for some people, this is all they want. it appears my clock speed is at 768 or something like that. could have gone higher but it would reboot. i have root and overclocking now. but it could be simpler..maybe i can make my own tutorial and give everyone credit. only it appears that lots of people need credit. but your suggestion about engtools.zip and the kernel overclock is what finally did it for me
[Droid Eris Android Development] v941726:
now, can i delete peeps etc. w/o causing crashes?
[Droid Eris Android Development] kejar31:

I was one of the ones who returned my phone for a hardware issue but ended up getting one with the new HBOOT.. Just rooted this puppy five min ago. ErisLightningBolt being installed as we speak wooooohoooo :D:D:D:D:cool::cool::cool:
[Droid Eris Android Development] xnatex21:
Which is why it's odd that he'd make this post. The other thread is much more descriptive and it has a donate link to the person who found the exploit.

I hope someone doesn't donate to jcase for this...
[Droid Eris Android Development] jcase:
xnatex21 you should really learn to read, and pay attention before you post. Infact I will call you a one ignorant person for suggesting I was stealing thunder or asking for donations. The one thread where I ask for donations (outside of my app on the market), I ASKED FOR DONATIONS TO A YOUTH HOMELESS ORG.

First wag3slav3 is given full credit. I modified his method slightly, as his original was

rm /data/local/rights/mid.txt
while true;
do
ls /data/local/rights/mid.txt 2>/dev/null && break
done
rm /data/local/rights/mid.txt
ln -s /dev/mtd/mtd1 /data/local/rights/mid.txt
/data/local/busybox ls -al /dev/mtd/mtd1

and i reduced it to

rm /data/local/rights/mid.txt
ln -s /dev/mtd/mtd1 /data/local/rights/mid.txt

because some of it was really unneeded, as his original didn't work for me (I assume I broke his script, i never checked).

I posted it, and contacted wag3slav, then I believe he cut it out of his process. It is still the same root method, just streamlined a little bit. Wag3slav is still fully credited, as he discovered it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jcase:
FYI i hold no credit for EngTools.zip, its just Superuser whitelist, su and flash_image. All I did was put it in a zip.
[Droid Eris Android Development] xnatex21:
^^ Jcase, I'd rather not quote your rage essay but posting a method with a link to donate to you in your sig in addition to the attractive title is stealing his thunder. Too bad you're obviously too arrogant to see it.

I'd love to go through your code, knock out a few lines, closely replicate your topic title, post the code, and post a link to donate to me in my sig. Let's see how you feel then...
[Droid Eris Android Development] jcase:
Sir you are an obvious Troll, your welcome to take any thing of mine that is not under a license, and do what ever the hell you want with it.

I matter of fact, follow the link in my signature, it doesn't lead you to where you can donate. It leads you to my apps. It is only there due to the number of PMs I got about donations, and because I got tired or replying "no" to them all
[Droid Eris Android Development] xnatex21:
Far from a troll and still curious as to why you'd make this thread and not just post in his????

Either way, I do feel better about it now that you say you don't take donations. Everyone deserves a reward for their work and I just think it's odd that you'd take away from his, in the same subforum, with a similar topic title.
[Droid Eris Android Development] thenestor:
He did post it in the other thread first.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jcase:
You are obviously a troll or very ignorant of what was going on (if this is the case, then you shouldn't of spoken up), or you would of read first and investigated some before making such statements. It made you look foolish.

Not only did I post it in his thread, but I linked directly to his thread and gave him full credit, and PM'd the originator of the method, I posted it here because it would be a pain in th ass to dig through 20 pages of "OMG IT WORKED" to find it. Not everyone wants to run scripts.

I have never seriously taken donations, I normally tell people to go buy a bum a beer, or donate to homeless young, take their kids to get icecream, or a number of random things depending on my mood.

To date I have made about $29 after taxes from sales of my "donate" app, after google deposited it, I took it to the Boy's and Girls club. I sure rake in the cash with these BIG DONATIONS. I find it very petty how many people ask for donations in big bold links, 2 or 3 times each post.
[Droid Eris Android Development] refthemc:
What the heck? Didn't some Evo guys Originally find the method? Why all this hating then xnatex21. And dang, your kinda hating on bums and homeless youth right now too
[Droid Eris Android Development] jcase:
I think the theory behind this is the same as Evo, having the system change the write perms via a symlink. But this is certainly different (and easier) than the evo method i saw.
[Droid Eris Android Development] cham87:
Im rooted now, thank you!

Now that I am rooted should i get the old boot loader or do I not have to worry about it?
[Droid Eris Android Development] acidbath5546:
First off thank you very much Devs for this very easy method, I had upgraded my GFs Eris with the Leak and can now finally get a custom ROM on her device.

@xnatex21

I once had an issue with Jcase, and trolled/flamed him similar to what you are doing now. It wasn't until months after that I finally was mature/intelligent enough to look at what he was saying and think about it. In my case he was correct and I had made many mistakes and in fact was completely in the wrong with some of what I was doing. So I know how difficult it can be to take a moment and be self reflective and come to grips with the errors in our ways, but I would implore you to do the same.

I have since realized that Jcase is only helping the community and in return not asking for anything but respect and that's not much to ask. So try and take a moment and think before trolling.

@Jcase please take this as a formal apology for our previous interactions, and thanks for your work and contributions to the Android community. You taught me an invaluable lesson and that is greatly appreciated, thank you sir.
[Droid Eris Android Development] lotus22:
Jcase- Very nicely done. Used your lines in the first post and this was easier than rooting my Phone from 1.5... Flashed Ivan's for my mom and hopefully her Eris will be better.

I am totally lost on trying to figure out how to only Root my Eris and possible Overclock it for the time being. I don't want to wipe the phone. I can't find any step by step tutorials on how to do this through the EngTools.zip method. I have searched and really need help please.

Yes I have searched and the Root tutorials are difficult to comprehend. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
long story short is your going to end up wiping your phone one day. wiping doesn't mean losing your phone numbers and pictures, and mp3's either. Just means your going to lose your apps from the market(go to market, downloads should still be there on new setup) its not a big deal after the first time or two. but for overclocking i don't think you want standard elclair just overclocked, you more or less are going to want a tweaked version of sense is what i gather. try evil eris, or XTRsense. you can PM me if you really need asistance getting rooted.

My friend said he got a system update a couple of days ago and this method didn't work for me whilst rooting his phone. I am going to try the method a couple more times. Just letting you know.

Update: thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=724741 worked fine for me, so I don's know what was up but I tried the OP's method 5 times before trying the other method. He said he got 2.1 as an update from VZW, and as I don't know the whole story of the 'leaked' 2.1, I don't know what I was working with. Heads up he said he accepted a system update a few days ago. Maybe it disabled the method, idk? All the commands worked fine without error from OP, but no root on reboot. Just figured I would update.
[Droid Eris Android Development] androidsteve:
can i just put this file on my sd card and enter into bootloader??
[Droid Eris Android Development] icbeer:
Works great, just did this on my bosses phone. I had used the old method on my phone with the PB00IMG.zip file. This was much quicker, easier, and less destructive. It allowed me to get a nice clean backup of his phone before taking the plunge into the ROM world. I recommend that you update the original post with a warning for people that you can't use the su test through adb shell because su.apk is not installed until you flash a ROM or flash a package with su.apk. I found that confusing and thought it didn't work, until I saw a response about it several posts down.

Thanks bro.

Go to Scary Alien's custom Amon-RA recovery thread - in scenario 5 there is a download for the 1-click root method that will root the phone and install the Trackball-optional Amon_RA recovery.

http://androidforums.com/eris-all-t...2-custom-recovery-trackball-not-required.html

It's at the end of the first post of that thread, under Scenario 5.

The link is active.

Copy that .apk file to your phone. Turn on third-party app installs in settings->applications. Install the app using a third-party file manager like Astro File Manager. Run the app once, read the message. Restart the phone. When the phone has fully restarted, it will be rooted, and you can then power down and power up by holding VolUp while powering on to get into custom recovery.
