The reason there is no root exploit for the 2.2 OTA is because nobody's figured it out yet. They have closed all the doors... I mean, just look at the last time we achieved root on thr Evo -- we had to use a flash exploit, there was no other way to do it. Now that's been blocked. One day, there's going to come a time when all possible doors will be shut and the system will be completely secure from being hacked. Let's hope that day hasn't come.
[EVO 4G General] Ranger093:
Epic post.
[EVO 4G General] dfl:
There is a good chance that day will never come. Technology always beats technology. Be patient and I wish all the Evo devs luck.
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
I agree, and I say close it. If you ask me, all this does is draw the attention of devs away from actually finding a way to root it since you know they are going to be curious and come in here to read this, and it is nothing but a waste of time.

Regarding the actual topic: Do I wish I could have everything I want right away? Yes. Did I go ahead and flash the 2.2 upgrade as soon as it came out with the expectation that it would be rooted the next day? Absolutely not. I didn't even flash the 1.47 update until there were rooted ROM's available, but apparently a lot of people did not learn their lesson from when that happened.

The lesson here is: Be patient. Those people who were not patient when 2.2 was released will need to learn the virtue of patience now by force. If you would have been patient from the beginning, you would be enjoying a fully rooted 2.2 ROM now like many people are including myself.

[EVO 4G General] willy900wonka:
The point being is that codes are being used to qualify what your phone can and cannot load in boot-strap mode. Now that qualifies as lack of egress which can lead to an argument of legal possession.

So though you've paid for the phone you don't really own it.

The bragging rights for the person who does find a method that allows rooting of 2.2 OTA will be significant. Time does seem to matter since I bet sprint will probably wall up the loader even more with a 2.3 release soon.
[EVO 4G General] vaelek:
First of all, as someone who came to Android from iPhone, I find the way the OP opened this thread a bit refreshing, rather than the typical AOLesqe "GIMME IT'S MINE!" post that usually accompanies requests like this.

Maybe I'm tainted having followed the 1.4 PRI thread the other day, which collected over a $400 bounty to whoever provided it first. That thread, in comparison, is infinitely more "impatient" than this one, yet nobody seemed to have a problem with that.

The majority of people who would want root, had root, and continue to on 2.2. So a lot of the people who might be capable of pulling it off, likely have no need to do so. I myself am not willing to risk bricking my phone or being stuck unrooted to contribute any efforts. I of course did not do the OTA and am fully enjoying rooted 2.2 on my EVO, but would still like to see it rooted proper. If it takes some reminders, "pep talks", and even incentives to get people riled up to do it, so be it.

Just my 2 cents.

Is there a thread discussing the current efforts? If not, perhaps someone in a position to should start one, lay out the facts, what we know, what we don't know, what might be possible, etc. Hopefully then giving anyone who is actually working on it somewhere to collaborate and also cutting down all the threads started about it.

I guess I had a nickel.

Anyhow, cheers and stuff.
[EVO 4G General] sling:
The where's my root cry will get louder & louder seeing EVOs being shipped 2.2 now.

Hopefully hacks being worked on so those new to device/Android can enjoy what Device & XDA has to offer.
[EVO 4G General] garyfunk:
I guess you haven't heard. Someone already found a way to gain root access to Froyo 2.2. I posted a link to it in another thread.
[EVO 4G General] sling:
Good to hear
[EVO 4G General] DCoop:
I picked up my Evo today, Aug. 19. I had no choice but to accept 2.2 and I do have faith that the great hackers who hang around XDA will be able to root this latest software version.

I've been reading these threads for months and finally took the leap and went Android, so far I love it.

Thanks to all of those who in the past spent their time cracking the code for everyone.
[EVO 4G General] davebu:
just because of this thread 2.2 will not get rooted. good one dude.
[EVO 4G General] willy900wonka:
I remember when everyone was being told not to accept the OTA. So I can identify with the feeling of being left out when people were raving about 2.2.

How ever the new EVOs are the issue. They DO come with 2.2 installed.

BTW I am rooted.
[EVO 4G General] ritzbrie:
Not whining, but is there a blog or somewhere I can follow to see if there is any progress? Right now I just keep checking news aggregating sites. I'd rather just read a dev's blog.
[EVO 4G General] palmdude:
Are there any moderators in this forum?
[EVO 4G General] superlinkx:
For people wanting more info/updates, look at the sticky at the top of the Q&A section. It was promoted to a sticky to avoid these threads and make a single thread with the latest brainstorms and updates. It's title is No Root for 2.2 yet. The title will change when a method is found. I strongly suggest people follow that thread for the latest. A lot of the best devs are working on this, but as others have said, its not easy and could take a long time. Patience is the only option you have.
[EVO 4G General] pflatlyne:
I really doubt that. Its a matter of how bad you want it. Worst case scenario,you crack the phone open and either find the JTAG port,or actually take the flash chip off the board and program it outside the phone. Of course that's not something that most of us can do,but still,it makes it not impossible,but simply impractical. (Actually,if there was a JTAG method,some people could do it,and a lot would brick their phones,but I consider that to be something that was doable)
[EVO 4G General] pflatlyne:
It took a day or two for the rooted OTA 2.2 to be released for users who were already rooted. Everyone was warned. If something happened and you had to have a replacement phone or bought your phone after 2.2,I feel for you. Your stuck and hopefully this will get resolved soon. If on the other hand you read the posts warning you NOT to accept the OTA and that if you did you might lose root forever,you brought this on yourself.You KNEW that the people in the know said this could happen and you didn't believe them.
[EVO 4G General] mrcharlesiv:
Yeah.. I'm one of those that just upgraded and don't have root. I have faith though. I mean, this is the only phone that I know of w/ a damn kick-stand. Surely it will be rooted.
[EVO 4G General] bluehaze:
Don't see what the big deal is, if you don't like the thread don't read it. Seems some people are just hung up on harassing the folks looking for a 2.2 root more than anything. Some of us are fortunate to have our phone prior to 2.2 and already have them rooted others are not. How about we show a little compassion for folks that post respectfully looking for a solution rather than acting like a bunch of immature kids pouncing on them any chance we get?
[EVO 4G General] tomit12:
Because this is the Internet. Guess what the vast majority of forum posters are?
[EVO 4G General] MadFlava:

[EVO 4G General] superlinkx:
I agree its not as big of a deal as many make it, but at the same time, these issues are addressed in about 50 different threads and there is even an official one stickied in Q&A. So I can understand both sides. Honestly, people should look for threads addressing similar issues and post in there. And those who do should not get so upset over people who post new threads on the topic. I think we can all get along.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Mycorrhiza:
Actually there is a newer version: The official JM1 which is not to be confused with the inofficial JM1

This Version is said to sport some updates over the most current inofficial 2.1 JM5 build.

There is a trick getting it which involves flashing the phone back to JF3 and then getting an update via Kies by accessing a test mode (done by: Ctrl+Alt+u+p)

There is a german thread visable here: http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-ha...ielle-update-jm1-jetzt-schon-zu-bekommen.html

I for one am sticking to JP3. It's not the smoothest but definatly the most good looking and I am hoping for a new 2.2 build in the near future. The browser is just sooo much better than eclair!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] balenax:
i am sure sammy didnt want any very "young" firmwares to leak to the public. i am sure that we will get a leak by the end of the month, but a pretty much almost ready for launch one. they prolly want to take care of good implementaion of froyo features ( JIT mailnly) before anything goes out, even if leaked.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aeo087:
I am having withdrawal effects from not flashing any firmwares... IT'S BEEN ALMOST 2 WEEKS SINCE MY LAST FLASH! lol I'd never gone so long without a flash since I got the phone. I do have to say that JM5 with the ext2 lag fix works very well and I don't plan on flashing unless I see people getting significant improvements, or a stable froyo firmware. I think Sammy should leak and let us point out the bugs haha, even if it's early builds...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NeoXTC:
yeah what's with the lack of leaks firmwares :( seriously with my touch HD I was flashing every other day :P Not having new firmware to flash is really "unusual" for me. I want firmwares :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bub181:
Someone claims to have upgraded to JM6 through kies. This would be great as it would be the newest official firmware I think.

Hi,

I'm just new to android, i left my iphone 4 for a all new SGS.

some points are missing on the sgs,

i use froyo JP3 and lag fix.

the contact manager is not efficient, because too big, you only see 6 people in the list (top icons are very big and there is the search field on top, taking all the place,

1 -Is there any way to use the N1 one ? which is much small.

2 -Is there any way to use the phone application of N1, ore the sense one ?

3- Also, on the iphone, it was very useful to dial directly from email, (just click on a phone number inside an email, and then the iphone call it, how to do that on android ? I tried K9, which sounds good, but there is not that feature).

4- I use kernel 2.6.32.9, is that the last one ? i have a wifi problem, the phone is crashing when trying to connect on wifi to a BEWAN AP54, (in WEP or WPA or without security) but connect perfectly to a linksys WAG54G. There is no other firmware for the bewan AP54.

5- for developping on android, is there a one click install IDE and SDK apps or do we have to install eclipse, the java then the sdk and configure by hand eclipse ?

Sorry for the noob questions, and by the way, you are doing a very good job !:!:!

Thanks in advance for your help.

I post here because I think are more development than simple apps.

With the first semi stable builds of android for our beloved cat i had no issues with STK (i need it to recharge my pay-as-you-go sub). In the last builds it's not working at all. I guess it's a package wich is not included in the builds available now. I'm a bit uncertain wether or not it worked with the Sense builds, but i've tried so many i've lost track. I'm now using mattc N1 stock Froyo (I think!) or at least a clean Froyo with a very fresh kernel.

Any thoughts out there?

(With LauncherPro and most likely non-ROM specific!)​

Just about all of the visual credit goes to ElCondor, Kamill, Dark Ninja and the entire GTX Team.

Beautiful Widgets

Please PM me if you have purchased Beautiful Widgets

and I'll send back the download link. You should probably forward a Paypal email showing the purchase or you could forward a screenie of your Market purchases. I don't want to give away someone else's hard work. This version is prior to the C&D that HTC gave LevelUp. There is also a Fancy Widget option included.

Metamorphing CM6

MM file can be found at the bottom of this post. The MM will change your fonts to Arial (including Clockopia.ttf) and change some images in framework and settings.

This will not add the AOSP status bar and notifications. For the custom lockscreen background, refer to second post.

Music Widgets

Contained in update.zip at the bottom of this post. Minor graphic updates to the 4x1 and 4x2 music widgets.

DialerOne (updated to v1.2.6, refer to second post)

Contained in update.zip at the bottom of this post.

Be sure to uninstall any previous versions as this will copy the APK to your system/app directory.

Weather Forecast Widgets

After getting everything just right with these widgets, I realized that not only are they not really accurate, but they chew up your battery. This is contained in a separate update.zip at the bottom of this post.

Use at your own risk.

One ZIP file contains everything. Contents are as follows:

Step 1: Copy all folders to your SD card and apply images per below.

Desktop Visualizer

folder - has the Estrongs, Market and XDA icons. Also includes a PSD template for the icon. This icon is twice the size and scaled down in LauncherPro to look crisp. Make sure you pick the Medium sized widget and rescale it.

LauncherPro

folder - has (3) variations of the bottom bar skin (#1 is shown). Also has the background.jpg, which is set to not scroll in LauncherPro. Apply the images to your shortcuts in LauncherPro by selecting Custom Icon.

Pure Calendar

Folder - has the image files necessary for the 4x1 calendar widget on the main screen. Just overwrite one of the stock themes on your SD card and reapply.​

Step 2: Copy {whatever}-update.zip to the root directory of your SD card and apply in recovery.

s23-GTX-update.zip - Will install the following:

- Analog Clock Widget 1 (Samir Applications)

- Audio Manager (Smart Android Apps) - Divider lines removed

- DeskClock

- GenieWidget.apk (with HTC weather icons) - Divider lines removed

- DialerOne (Yermek Zhumagulov)

- Music

- OneClick (WeDroid)

- Scoreboard (Google) - Divider lines removed

Be sure to uninstall any previous versions as this will copy the APK to your system/app directory.

s23-GTX-fancy-update.zip - Will install Fancy Widgets.

s23-GTX-weather-update.zip - Will install Weather Forecast Widgets.​

Step 3: Extract {whatever}-MM.zip file to SDcard/Android Themes/s23-GTX-MM and apply with

Metamorph

.

s23-GTX-MM.zip - Will change font to Arial and will edit some images in framework-res.​

Notes:

- Way too many people to thank. If your widget is shown, thanks. If your ideas are shown, thanks. Thanks to everyone in the universe. The only image file that was directly taken from GTX was the analog clock (I think). Thanks for that.

- I tried to accomplish the entire look with widgets so they could be used on other MDPI devices, regardless of ROM.

- I also did Metamorph for the frameworks since CM6 is changing nightly.

- Fancy Widgets update.zip has been added to the zip in the OP.

Custom Lockscreen wallpaper:

(Based on 08.23.10 CM6 nightly) I will update this based on nightlies.

If the nightly doesn't change the xml file I modified, I won't post a new one. If you want to customize the wallpaper, edit the file in the framework-res/res/drawable-mdpi folder named create_contact.png

. Thanks to ihtfp69. The lockscreen images and xml have been removed from the Metamorph in the main zip file (above).

If you want a light lockscreen with custom wallpaper like the one below, apply

(don't let MM unzip the file, do it yourself)

If you want a dark lockscreen with custom wallpaper like the one below, apply

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] signals23:
Thanks guys. Means a lot coming from all of you with your talents too. This theme did take time but not a ton of time. Partially because the AOSP taskbar is essentially "GTX" anyway and because I've been doing this long enough that I have a pretty good idea of what I need to change to achieve the look.

The other thing that helped out immensely was using widgets with absolute layouts as opposed to relative layouts. If I can pin-point the exact location of something in dips, it makes my life easier. That's just my dorky 2-cents.... :D

Isn't it annoying how we can never be satisfied with our themes? I am already thinking of what this would look like inverted (i.e. - dark GTX). I think it would look cool. But the black text on white is so damn legible and cool looking. :cool: I don't know, maybe I'll do a test run.......
