[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidDhakan:
Is there an app which would do this? Kind like the features in the Samsung Galaxy S camera app.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mr. Monkey:
I have been rooting/jailbreaking phones for years now. For me it is something I cannot live without anymore.

I know there are tons of people that are constantly working on finding new exploits and I'm very appreciative of their time.

In all of my time doing this I have never fully understood what is required to root a phone. It seems like now the devs are so good they'll make a one click root, or 3 click root/nand unlock GUI for us. Which is nice, and saves me time. But I would really like to understand it better and maybe start contributing a little more. I've searched in a couple forums for just a good explanation on what needs to be done and havent found anything. I'd like to know where would someone even start to look for an exploit, what they would do with that exploit, why some exploit would/would not work, etc. Also once that exploit is found, what needs to be changed to allow file modifications, etc.

Does someone mind explaining, or linking me somewhere to read more about what the full process is?? I realize every phone is different. But for the most part it is the same thing that has to happen on every phone.

TIA.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wigout:
The root exploits I have looked at all show finagling with root permissions.

That is, you need to launch a process that you can access that has root permissions.

So if telnetd gets launched and there's no check on authentication for logging in....

or if the binary for su gets changed so that it permits you to call it from non-root accounts....

Anyway, I'd welcome a clear explanation too.

Please help!

My water damage indicator is pink, with the battery temperature is always over 30 degree, it always restart itself when I use the GPS (both in WinMo and Android). It is a used phone so I don't know if it has actually been damaged from water. Does this sound like a overheat problem (water damaged related)?

Thanks in advance.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosraptor:
Hi everybody. It seems that i have a problem regarding rom manager Premium. I purchased premium the first time using paypal. Once i rebooted my Desire the premium version was gone and i was stuck with the free edition of the app.

So i said what the hell i'll buy it again and consider it as a donation. Once i purchased again the app through paypal the next morning the premium edition was gone again and this time whtiout rebooting. What is left for me to do as i send a message to koushik email that i found inside the app. No answer yet. Please help!!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacobtc:
Uhm, the premium icon dissapears after reboot :) you should still have premium, try to open the Rom Manager and see if it doesn't say premium anyway...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madnlooney:
yeah the premium rom manger icon disappears when you run rom manager. Click rom manager and click rom via barcode and see if that works. if it does it premium addition you have and all working
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dampf:
i still have 2 RM icons around (standard and the premium one) after several reboots and RM runs.

if I loose premium functionality (easy to find out with "check for ROM updates") I just launch APPBRAIN and grab/install the premium module again. APPBRAIN remembers that I already paid for that and lets me get it again (and again...).

haven't used the standard market app in a while - so I don't know if it works the same...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosraptor:
thanks for the quick reply. if i click to check via barcode it says that i need premium to do so.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosraptor:
hi. thank you for your quick reply. how do you dothis so i can check it out. thanks again.
[Desire General] leecavturbo:
Can I change fonts? The keyboard is fine its just I don't have the symbols I need like you can get from the character map off a pc
[Droid 2 General] n0yd:
Hey guys, the fun with my Eris was fun while it lasted despite the bugs. slowness, freezes, trackball stopped working etc. Plus i really missed having a physical keyboard. So I ended up falling and cracking my Eris screen which really pissed me off. I called verizon cancelation department multiple times threatening to go to sprint and get the HTC Evo for 200 bucks from raido shack, it took 3 seperate calls and 2 different supervisors and finally they gave the option of any android phone they have available at the new customer rate (so DroidX, Droid2, Droid Incredible0 for 199.99 minus 100. So I went with the the Droid2 not realizing its not rooted yet, and doesnt look like it will be easily rooted. So should I keep the Droid2 which i REALLY want cause of the the physical keyboard and Froyo2.2 that isnt hacked together like it is on the Eris, and real Flash 10.1, or should i cancel and go with the DroidX. My guess is the Droid2 will be rooted and we will be able to put custom roms on soon, is this true or just a pipe dream.

Any real decent well thought out feedback would be appreciated.
[Droid 2 General] ljbaumer:
droid x may be rooted but it dosen't have custom roms yet...
[Droid 2 General] n0yd:
Well I got my Droid2 via FedEx today and I really don't care that the phone isn't rooted, this phone frickin' rocks.
[Droid 2 General] outlawaol:
Agreed. I had to exchange my LG Ally out to something faster. And I am glad I did go to the Droid 2. Its really fast. :)
[Droid 2 General] ljbaumer:
I just upgraded my eris to a droid 2 and the droid 2 is incredible!!!

I've used the droid x a few times and the droid incredible a few more times and the droid 2 just blows them out of the water!

Also I love the new keyboard and if you use launcher-pro (with the new update) the phone feels even faster+ you still get the cool ninja-blur widgets without the annoying launcher.

it's just an awesome phone.
[Droid 2 General] garipper:
I don't want to be a party pooper but I was tired of the buggy Eris as well. I rooted, installed a fantastic froyo rom, and am completely satisfied now. Fast, stable and badass! I wouldn't say no if someone gave me a Droid X/2 but I certainly will not be pushing for one.
[Droid 2 General] Nikolai2.1:
The Eris sucks ****. I have one and I hate it.
[Droid 2 General] Jacklad:
You hate your ****? You might be in the wrong forum.
[Droid 2 General] Ty07allstar:
I too have an eris that is rooted running froyo but I got a text for an early upgrade so today I will be going to the store and hopefully come home with a droid 2.
[Droid 2 General] lukesdiesel:
Verizon sent me a D2 to replace my Eris.
[Droid 2 General] Hashbaz:
EDIT: nvm found it. feel like a noob, lol.
[Droid 2 General] TDianna:
Eris user coming to Droid 2 tomorrow 9/29/10

Well Veri$on is sending me a Droid2 because I have had 4....let me count them...1...2...3..4....phones. (I wanted a Droid X but no dice)

I have been reading about how to root and install Bootstrap Recovery. Can someone guide me to a FAQ and suggest a good ROM? I know that the Droid2 comes with Froyo 2.2, and I read that there is a 2.3 update for the Droid X. Is there one for the D2?

I have rooted my old Eris but it seems to me that the D2 is a little bit complicated.

Thanks!
[Droid 2 General] mrkite38:
2.3 was the Motorola version, not the android version.
[Droid 2 General] TDianna:

In searching for the perfect setup, I have been on the lookout for wallpapers that are black and white with android green accents.

You can post these these wallpapers here for everyone and I'll start off by including some which where done by members here, that i often use. (hope they dont mind, Ill remove them if necessary)

I've installed TasKiller and when I run it I see all kinds of programs running that I never started. Email, Instant Messenger, Maps, YouTube, etc. I'm also noticing a lot of programs with a green and white Android logo with varying names, LogsProvider, Factory Test, My Uploads DRMContent, IcsService and so on. Could somebody explain this to me?
[Captivate General] asrrin29:
Just like windows has several services and applications that run in the background, so too does Android. these processes are mostly necessary in order for the phone to function.

Also, I'm copy and pasting my answer from a similar thread regarding task killers. essentially, they are evil:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] BiZZuRKS:
Is there anyone out there working on a Gowalla app for WinMO? They just recently released their API, but they don't plan on getting around to WinMo development for a while. (a loooong while) I even know one of the co-owners and he's like "well we released the API and are just waiting for some one to do something with it." If I knew anything about programming I'd be all over it, but alas I'm a lowly videographer. Thanx for your replies in advance.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] brewhoxs:
Gowalla, Brightkite or something similiar, I think still doesn't exist for WinMo. I suggess you must move to Foursquare and use 4Square app for WinMo!

[Windows Mobile Software Development] figment1986:
I was wondering has there been any development at all now on a Gowalla app for windows since Disney has partnered with them with the parks recvently, and their mobile site doesnt work on my phone at all.

(or has anyone found a workaround to get location based service to work in a web-browser on a windows phone)
[Vibrant General] rbtady:
Just a general question. So what do you guys do when the G2 comes out with the HSPA+...do you upgrade to it or stay with your Vibrant?

I have to stay with the vibrant, used my upgrade for it already.
[Vibrant General] khtims:
I chose the vibrant because it is high end enough to stay a top device for some time, knowing I won't be upgrading again soon. The G2 may be faster (data speeds) but not sure yet how much better it will be and who knows when I get HSPA+ in my location. I am happy to stay with my vibrant and already exptected nicer phones to be released soon and I got this phone anyway. At least it will keep up with the best for time to come still.
[Vibrant General] bellrb19:
Going to stay with the Vibrant. I was upgrade eligible back in December and was sick of playing the waiting game, even with a G1 running cyanogen. With that device I could not just pull up a browser and go to a bookmark in seconds, the lag took minutes. I thought I would miss the keyboard, but swype has impressed me.

There will be better and more powerful phones coming out soon (like always) but they will not have this screen for at least another year. I feel bad for the people who wait and wait and wait for the next best thing while never experiencing it. I also don't want to be one of the people who regrets their purchase. This is a great phone and the processor/screen/devs will keep it running for some time.
[Vibrant General] PathogenX:
Well, I used my upgrade on the vibrant and yes I did know about the G2 and all the other Tmo phones coming out later this year.

However those phones will not be running a hummingbird processor and a Super AMOLED screen.

I am generally pretty happy with my vibrant. Other than the minor GPS issues, non functioning compass, iPhoney design and plasticy feel.

It's beauty is skin deep and I really do love it.

The G2 having HSPA+ is nice and all but i get 3-5 down and 1-2 up in NYC that's faster than my home DSL.

If the G2 does have a keyboard like rumored that will turn me off as I perfer swype over any physical keyboard any more.

The one thing that is completely enticing me towards the G2 is the stock google experience.

So it is really up to you. I am interested to see how the G2 is going to turn out.
[Vibrant General] DKYang:
If it's a successor to the G1, then I don't want it. I don't like the bulkiness of qwerty phones and the big bulge they make in my pocket. I'm happy with the Vibrant and it will last me couple of years.
[Vibrant General] MMcCraryNJ:
The G2 looks really good, up until you get to the part of the processor. It's rumored to have a "budget-friendly" Snapdragon variant, and no one is sure if it's running at 800 Mhz or 1 Ghz. Even if it's the full Snapdragon that's in other devices, the Snapdragon is a dated processor compared to the Hummingbird.

Now whatever HSPA+ phone is coming out in December with the dual core 1.2 or 1.5 Qualcomm, that should be interesting. But then again, you would be trading away for what is likely an inferior display to the SAMOLED. Choices, choices.
[Vibrant General] Kryptyx:
Vibrant is still a "higher" end device. So the Vibrant wins IMO.
[Vibrant General] Dougefresh91:
I'll wait until the specs are announced to make that decision. I'm sure I'd have no problem selling this phone if I end up wanting to.
[Vibrant General] disturkis4u:
I don't like having physical keyboards which is what the g2 sounds like..also if it has sense if probably stay away
[Vibrant General] Relikk356:
HSPA+ is pointless unless your tethering a ton of devices (by ton I mean like 5). And constant tethering becomes pointless due to Tmobiles 10gig cap.

I would rather have the Hummingbird!! Homerun battle and Heavygunner are some of the better games I've ever played on a handheld. GO GPU!!!
[Vibrant General] jmao:
I'm pretty satisfied with the vibrant, although i wish the feel/weight/build quality was better like htc phones. The G2 won't have better hardware than the vibrant, but if you want better download speeds and keyboard then its justified. I say if you are gonna wait, wait for Desire HD or Glacier, if they are coming to t mobile.
[Vibrant General] XfooYen:
I liked my vibrant but returned it due to the GPS and compass issues. If both are totally fixed by November, I'll buy the vibrant again. If not, I'll wait until the MTHD and see how that is.

Not sent from my Vibrant using XDA App 'cause I returned it.

i have the htc hd2 tmob version, runnin █ ELEGANCIA ROM Series™ █ ◄●|17 Aug.|V2 Final|6.5.5|6.5|●► █ [CHT]●[GTX]●[MaxSense], E-GTX ROM, with the dal131 (spell check) android 2.2 froyo. now when i boot into android, whether it be using haret or the dual boot, not all of my music files are recognized in the music player. now when i use the linda file explorer it shows my music in the MP3 folder and they are all in a compatible format (unless the nexus uses a diff format than the g1 and cliq use)

any ideas on why only 100 out of the 700+ music files are showing in the music player?

Also i have looked under, recently installed playlist, all songs, all artists, etc etc, and it doesnt show all the songs but it does when i boot in windows mobile

should i move the files out of the android folder and place them in the root [of the SD card]?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] T.C.:
I'm no dev, nor am i even very knowledgeable with the programming side of the android universe.

I think it is probably because you are running android off the sd card right now. I think all your music will show up fine when a full nand version of android is released. Although, what do I know, I'm no dev.

For the heck of it go get "NSW Player" from the market and try it. Report back and let me know if that player works better.

Good luck.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mo2002:
hmmmz never thought of that, yea could be becuz im runnin it off the SD card, ill check if it does happen with that player or any other installed player

i just also thought i'd delete the mp3 player and let the system create its own (if it even will)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] T.C.:
if you uninstall the stock mp3 player i don't think the system will reinstall one.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mo2002:
nah i meant uninstall the mp3 folder but with using the nswplayer and mixzing player they still read the same. ill fiddle around and see if it could be a file extension issue or something
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] matt07930:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] matt07930:
Bingo, I removed all music from the Music file then added it again to the Media file, all music now appears.

[HD2 General] malias4:
Hi everyone

usually when people make new threads about asking questions i think - come on man cant u figure out urself?

but now its my turn to ask ur opinion ;)

So i got the hd2 since january and really i dont have any complain till now but a friend at work wants to trade his desire with my hd2..

Both phones arein same condition and work perfectly..

The question is does it worth to trade it or?

I tried several builds of android on hd2 and i see that i like android alot,

but i think till it can really be ported on our hd2 and work flawlesly we will need a bit more time..

So would you trade or wait..??

:confused:
[HD2 General] matt07930:
That's a tough one, I guess it comes down to what you use the phone for. Both phones are nearly identical technically but interestingly the HD2 still costs alot more unlocked.

I've used the Desire a lot and personally I'd probably stick with my HD2. The AMOLED screen on the Desire is great but I just prefer the size and contrast of the HD2's TFT screen.

Tough one though!
[HD2 General] malias4:
Yeah the hard thing is tha size matter!

Im used tpo the big screen now so i dont know if i can handle the one from desire bs its a bit smaller..

I usually use the phone for browsing, emails and a bit of music-movies -gaming..

And also calling , txting :p
[HD2 General] Alkali:
I would go for the DESIRE ! Come on man Hd2 is just about to be burried RIP come Nov with 7 around the corner.
[HD2 General] b12rtc:
Why don't you too just swap the phones for a week or something and see how you like the other one. If both of you'll be happy with the new one then that's it. And of cource, if one of you don't like the "new" phone then swap them again. This way both of you will be better informed, no matter what you willl decide in the end.
[HD2 General] malias4:
i think this is the best idea, i just feel like i betray my lovely hd2 like this..

i mean if i trade it or sell it :(
[HD2 General] StreetGrapher:
Do you honestly believe the devs here will leave it at "no win7 update", it has the hardware (and two keys extra lol)

On the original post:

I got a great deal around 2 weeks ago and instead of getting a desire for 300ish eur on contract, got a HD2 for 160e :)

Best choice I ever made, screen size does matter :)

I'd keep the HD2 for its pure awesomeness and the 90% chance of getting a 7 phone for "free".

edit: also from what i've seen with my short encounters with android, it still has a bit to go no matter how good. Your hd2 is good till android 3 and phone 7 with their respective phones become available, wait it out on the phone change :)
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
cant say I agree with that, loads of old devices still have a thriving community, why wouldn't the hd2??

theres going to be plenty ofpeople with no interest in either wp7 or android....

this phones going to around for a while.......

to answer your question, I wouldn't swap.....
[HD2 General] orouborus:
i wouldnt swap my hd2 for desire. i bought a legend over the desire because i already have an hd2 with its huge 4.3". its screen size is enormous and it has the processor to handle wp7 if ever it comes out. plus the hd2 has editor in office. :) in my opinion, i will keep the hd2. ;)
[HD2 General] Smartphoner:
Won't hesitate!!

I definitely would keep HD2!!!

Nothing compares with this beautifully designed massive screen!!
[HD2 General] DanijasDub:
HD2 no doubts just have a look at ugly desire design :D:D:D and small screen don't even think :) i don't see any phone on the market which can beat Leo at this time...;););)
