When I put in su and press enter i get another "not allowed" thing.

$ su (press enter)

su: uid 10030 not alloewd to su

I will get this working some day... just doesn't look like it will be today... again.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RaViNLuNeY:
Do you have superuser installed? When you do su, you should get prompted to allow superuser access for the app. If not, follow the instructions here augendev. wikispaces.com/ How+To+Root

Sorry, won't let me post links yet, so take spaces out.

Missing apps

Does anyone know if the androidID is linked to the vertion of android you get it from? In the market I can't get some app I know that is out there. I can get them from my droid1 that has 2.1-update-1 but not on my GT..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ktfoley:
Begging forgiveness for my ignorance. But "THIS MUST BE INSTALLED VIA CLOCKWORK RECOVERY" means what exactly?

I have read the wiki and see the page for the recovery - clockworkrecorvery..... bat file. But how do I include this update?

If there are a few lines of instruction, that would be awesome. And thanks for all this great stuff!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RaViNLuNeY:
Not sure if this is why, but after looking into it a bit, it seems this is a common problem with new devices. See below (quoted from user nprussell on Android Market Help thread)

First things first, it's protected apps that are missing from the market. There are generally two reasons why apps will be missing from the market.

When a new ROM/Phone is released, the manufacturer, in this case HTC, sends the build to Google, which includes a 'Fingerprint' (a unique line of text which governs its market access) in the build.prop file. Generally, it states the name of the phone and Android version in the fingerprint. With Root & system write access, this fingerprint can easily be changed... but we don't have that luxury right now.

Once Google approve the build, the fingerprint will be added to their allowed database to view protected apps on the market.

The other cause for apps missing from the market in builds (such as twidroid, layar, barcode scanner etc) is that these apps require permissions to use the camera/auto focus. They are NOT protected apps. If the XML permission files are missing from system/etc/permissions, then Google Market will simply block these apps from showing.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RaViNLuNeY:
Rename the zip to update.zip, push it to your GT sdcard via adb (adb push update.zip /sdcard) or just copy it to the root of your SD card mounted to a PC, hold in the 2nd button from the edge and press reset, when Clockwork Recovery menu comes up, highlight and select "apply sdcard:update.zip".

Ad-hoc tethering

Anyone making progress?

Frustrating!

I got it connected to my Samsung Moment's ad-hoc network going through multiple wpa_cli commands. Of course the settings were lost doing it this way and I've spend the last couple hours trying to reproduce it. No luck. I don't know what step I'm missing.

Encouraging note: with an ad-hoc network in the area run this:

Through ADB shell

/system/bin/wpa_cli scan_results

This returned my IBSS / SSID of my ad-hoc network. (and other wifi signals in the area)

If you don't see yours then run /system/wpa_cli mode 2

Then run the scan_results again.

# wpa_cli scan_results

wpa_cli scan_results

Selected interface 'wlan0'

bssid / frequency / signal level / flags / ssid

XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX 2442 -31 [WEP] tut

XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX 2452 -10 [IBSS] tether

#

The tablet can see the ad-hoc networks but they have been filtered out and we need to find the right settings to connect to them.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xguntherc:
So has anyone installed this, What all does it do? It installs superuser2.2.apk, fixes the cache problem for market, and adds the nexus boot animation..(cool, but I like my Cyan bootanim) that all? so when he says it installs superuser, does that mean it will root and install SU. or will users still need to do the root process?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cblah001:
Yeah, I have superuser installed (I'm assuming you mean on the actual device). I have tried everything, even checking to see if there was a problem with my computer and trying to do it on Linux, etc. I am just giving up until someone puts out a one button solution. I have been trying to do this for two days and it is almost funny how frustrating it is now.

RE: AD-HOC

Re: Ad-Hoc networking, I ran across this:

I have no idea how to use this, but I was hoping someone else might be able to figure out how to get it working.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ktfoley:
That was it. Well played sir. Like a noob I just typed what I read and didn't end up deleting all the dirs.

I ran the update.zip using clockwork recovery. Thanks to Raven for help on that.

So I got the market working, and began d'ling apps like a mad man. After about the 7th app, they stopped just like when the market didn't work in the 1st place.

So is there something I should redo or undo to keep the market alive. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. Just when I think I've made it and I'm done tweaking, this particular piece of gear disappoints me and keeps me up late. Thanks again.

Ad-hoc wifi working

Got it to work... multiple times and after rebooting.

In the end it was the order that was causing me to think it wasn't working...

I had the ad-hoc network at the bottom and I was never getting their since my AP was higher in the config.

wpa_supplicant.conf edit

ctrl_interface=/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant

ctrl_interface_group=1010

update_config=1

ap_scan=2

#added ap_scan=2 so it scans all networks including ad-hoc

#this causes priorities to be ignored below.

#it just goes through the networks one by one.

# this can really slow things down.

#I recommend putting a simple file like this with the ad-hoc network at the top

#on your sdcard and then just copy to /data/misc/wifi directory when needed.

#I sure someone could write a script to backup current and swap in adhoc one.

#added my ad-hoc network.

network={

ssid="YourSSID"

key_mgmt=NONE

#wep_key0 only needed if you use wep. "" if ascii / no "" if hex

wep_key0="1234567890123"

#mode=1 needed to indicate ad-hoc

mode=1

priority=25

}

#normal access point network

network={

ssid="exampleAP"

key_mgmt=NONE

auth_alg=OPEN SHARED

wep_key0=01234567890123456789012345

priority=8

}

Hope this helps others.

Install ADW launcher or some other home replacement that allows you to change the grid size of the desktop.

Junk,

I am going to assume it is allowing both AP and Adhoc now?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] treeSkwerral:
Junk0, so I tried just making ap_scan=2 but that didn't work. Also I noticed the tele_sys3 network to be in wpa_supplicant, however, I already used "Forget" in the WiFi Network settings.

So my question is, what do we need to do to update the system's channel sweep so that it lists the AD Hoc networks automatically?

For me, I'm doing it using my laptop at work because I don't have access to the WiFi routers and would like to use my GT at my desk.

Also, I stupidly edited the wpa_supplicant.conf from the /system/etc/wifi and not /data/misc/wifi. I made a backup though and restored it but the WiFi still won't work. When I hit the WiFi button on the Quick Settings widget, it gives the popup "Updating Settings" on the bottom of the screen. It just says "unable to start" in the settings section.

Ideas?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vertig0730:
Mine was doing the same thing, had to just keep trying, but with the wifi unable to start, i then repushed the WPA file and then started it. It works now through my VZW Eris.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] junk0:
If wifi doesn't start after... (especially if you used ADB pull / push to edit) the ownership / permission on the file probably got messed up.

chown system.wifi wpa_supplicant.conf

permissions should be read/write

Junk,

I am going to assume it is allowing both AP and Adhoc now?​

yes, if ad-hoc is first then it will try that and then to to the AP listed ones after.

I believe some have complied/patched wpa_supplicant.conf to either allow ad-hoc or they have found a way to make ad-hoc look like a regular AP so Android connects. I don't know how to do this.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jdelgado:
Thanks I was also looking to see how this was done.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] treeSkwerral:
Ok junk0 I tried yours, and it fixed it but it changed the file from having ap_scan=2 under update=1 to not having ap_scan=2 at all. That is the most important part of it all for me since I want to be able to scan for all adhoc networks and not just list one to use.

I mean my adhoc is coming up in the list you can get from adb/terminal but not from the network scan in the wifi settings.

market fix

For me the Market Fix was temporary. It worked after step 15 but then after d'ling about 7 apps it stopped again.

1. Should I just run the market fix again? I'll do it, just reluctant to lose what I've grabbed already.

2. Should I only dl one app at a time next time?

3. Would it make a difference if I had root? I will do it if necessary.

4. If it's a cache issue is there a way to clear the cache without losing the apps I've got?

5. Is there a limit to how many apps I can grab?

6. Is there a more permanent fix coming in the form of a mod or a rom?

7. Is anybody else still having trouble with the market? Or am I the last of the noobhicans? :o)

I've already run the clockwork update.zip, which said to have a cache workaround which I assumed was pertaining to the market. Thanks for any help.

BTW, in case this helps anybody: running the custom recovery from the augendev wiki and doing the factory reset w/ clockwork recovery was the trick to getting back the functionality of my HOME & SEARCH buttons. I hope that helps.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jdelgado:
I don't think you are alone. I am at work I cannot test but I just did the update.zip image. I will know if it works for me this aftenoon. I saw an option to wipe cache on the clockwork menu options I wonder what will that do.

-has anyone noticed that usb charging doesnt charge, that the GT will still drain the battery ?

i am going to try a usb Y adapter so that you plug in 2x USB 'A' male plugs into your pc or hub so it pulls a full 1000mA if needed instead of just a max of 500mA from 1 port. - **never mind i used my EVO's charger which is a usb port on a 110v plug. 5v 1000mA. still doesnt work.

infact my GT wont even turn on now, even with usb plugged in.

have to wait til i get home to use the Std power adapter for the GGT.

I have to have the 1500mAh battery... which blows chunks.

i tested it out and even though the charging icon is there, the animation for the battery doesnt show it charging all the time and looking at the battery widget i grabbed, it drops about 1.5-2% per minute.

-needless to say battery life when using it is an hour IF your lucky.... thats a big IF

off and on use, pushing the power button to make it sleep i can get 4-6 hours depending on how much i use it. (and its a really really poor sleep mode, the battery drain in sleep mode is VERY high).

but direct usage is battery drain hell.... big time.

-i will say fastreboot works, along with droidFTP, RootExplorer (the prefered file manager) and several others.

-i copied the Dolphin HD Browser from my phone and it installed fine and works, but starts in portrait mode, and when switching to landscape mode the bookmarks tab sticks out and wont go away, thus only allowing about 1/2 the webpage to show and you can not scroll side to side.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RaViNLuNeY:
With ADW Launcher, click the menu button from your home screen adn select ADW settings, adjust the rows adn columns for landscape and portrait modes.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] R-james:
Sigh. Of course it won't really charge. I haven't opened the back of my GT78 to look at the battery, but the pictures that I've seen indicate that the battery inside the GT is a 8.4 volt battery.

If this is the case, I'm quite sure you can't charge a 8.4 volt battery using a 5 volt power supply.......

Geez. Just because something has a usb port on it doesn't mean you can charge it using a usb charger.

The easiest way way you can tell if somethiing can can be charged using a usb port is look at the label of AC adapter that comes with it.

If the AC adapter output is more than 5 volts DC, odds are that it can't be charged using a usb charger even if the device *HAS* usb ports.

If a device has usb ports but *DOESN'T* come with an AC adapter *OR* a usb charger, odds are you *CAN* charge it using a 3rd party usb charger, but are going to run into assorted issues in trying to do so.

Most devices that can be charged using usb ports have an internal battery rated at 5 volts DC or less.

I have a portable DVD player that has a built-in usb port.

There's no way in hell I can charge it using a usb charger.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] v_lestat:
Well given that someone here said the update allowed usb charging AND not to metnion the fact that GT's very own update made the charging on USB icon show up where as prior to the update it did not, i made the mistake of assuming it worked so please do not cop the typical XDA holier than thou attitude.

Ya know 99% of the people here arent even skilled at anything enough to call themselves skilled, being damn near 40yrs old i been around the block a few times and as such am prone to make some mistakes, sometimes i forget the most basic things.

when something says it enables USB charging a person tends to try it out and report their findings.

Your snide remark is very much uncalled for my fellow gt owner
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] digitalmatrixio:
It was ADW Launcher I had loaded on the device. I had it set to 8 wide and 6 hight I believe. It looked nice in portrait mode too.

Yeah... I installed CW on my GT78, then mounted the SD card copied the update.zip, then rebooted with Clockwork. Tried to update.zip, it says it cant see the SD Card, but I remount the card via CW, and there it is... try to update... doesn't see it... remount... there it is... The cycle is ALMOST as annoying as no marketplace perm fix.

I had SetCPU on it correctly, before the the calibration update and CW installation. Trying to do a update.zip on it now, to make sure I CAN do it... but the damn SD card seems to be being a PITA. Not sure if its the card or the unit at this point. The card mounts find, I can copy files to and from it in CW and in Android... but CW just doesn't see the damn card. I mount the card, reformat it, recopy, still nothing.

Anyone else have any luck getting an ad-hoc connection with a droid? Mine fails when trying to obtain an IP address.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] R-james:
That's because I really,really suspect the code Android itself uses to monitor battery charging isn't really very smart. All it looks like it's doing is seeing the GT battery sucking in 5 volts from the usb port and reporting the fact.

I don't think the Android Code knows if the 5 volts from the usb port is enough to actually fully charge the battery,which in the case of the Gentouch 78, it isn't.

This is an Android issue that will likely show up on devices like GT78 which uses a heftier battery than the cellphones normally do and which the usb port design doesn't provide enough power to fully charge.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] snackpants:
Well the error I get when choosing to Apply the sdcard:update.zip is:

Its there... in the root directory... don't get it.

EDIT: Well I remounted the SDCard in CW... again... and suddenly it worked. I don't get it.. *chuckle* Now we need a perm marketplace fix.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xguntherc:
Batteries like what is in the Droid X at over 1,500 mAh. and in the Dell Streak 5" tablet.. they are cell phone batteries that are getting near the limit. We have a little room. but as far as tablet's go. Any 7" tablet with half decent battery life will have a larger battery, and wont be able to actually CHARGE from USB. the ipad has that 30 pin that uses a different system. and it has 2 battery's inside and it evens out the charge. but most tablets wont be able to charge from USB.

even though usb wont charge my device. while I'm messing around with it, USB charging slows the discharge rate. I wanna mount it in my truck somewhere. lol
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheZeke:
I did the Clockwork Recovery update. Afterwards when it rebooted (with the Nexus One) animation, my touchscreen stopped working. I had to reset it due to not being able to turn it off normally, and in the end did a factory reset. It still doesn't work. Anyone know what I can do? Or is my device FUBAR?

That would suck because I bought the last one in the tri-city area.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] krypto16:
I flashed the update.zip and now my market works without any manual intervention after reboot.

Also, if you are having issues flashing cuz it says it can't mount, try it again without doing anything else. I had to select it 3 times before it flashed but once it did everything was beautiful (nexus boot and working market).

I did have to enter the androidId from the emulator as described in the market fix on the wiki before flashing. Maybe that is something that has to be done along with the update.zip to get the market working.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheZeke:
Alright, managed to recover back into the pre-update settings, and the touchscreen works. I'll try it one more time to see if it was just a fluke.

I did this as well. I had installed Swype on my droid a few months ago, so I was familiar with going into the settings and selecting it. However, no matter what I do (check, uncheck, mess with settings) I always get the default keyboard.

Also, does anybody have a clean ROM of the factory image available? I'm kind of interested in resetting it back to the out of the box state, since my unit WAS a returned unit, and does have lingering pieces of the former person's information on it.
