I think all of you PS3 owners here already know about the Jailbreak tool that allows you too execute unsigned code on the PS3. That opens the console for a lot of homebrew possibilities(mplayer port maybe?). The source code for the exploit leaked and a dev called KaKaRoTo managed to get it to be executed from a N900. Yesterday KaKaRoTo released his souce code and today someone already ported it to the Palm Pre. This quick port was possible because the N900 and Palm Pre both share the same USB controller(mUSB) which happens to be the controller used by the Droid/Milestone.

Here is some info from KaKaRoTo's blog:

http://kakaroto.homelinux.net/

Some people over the HTC Desire boards are already working on a port but Desire's controller is a different one(MSM72K) so they might take some time and it will be of no use for us :(

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=772795

So, any dev here willing to give it a try?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] desolateone1:
according to zzg in the desire forum, this is what you need to do. no source changes.

You can get the source from motorola.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] freehood4all:
Has anyone been successful with the exploit?

On the wiki it shows that it's in progress, but no info on who is working on it

Tried that. It didn't work, though I'm not familiar with configuring kernels. I have a compsci degree, but I just haven't ever played with them. Didn't figure it'd be as simple as this but thought I'd give it a go for the community... anyone want to give me a new clue?

Edit: I configured the kernel with 'make defconfig'

Confirmed working!!!

place linked files on root of sdcard

First do nandroid backup!

Then reboot into recovery fire up adb and

"adb shell"

"#cd /sdcard"

"#flash_image boot boot.img"

reboot into ROM normally

open a terminal

"$su"

"#mount -o remount,rw /system"

"#mv psfreedom.ko /data/psfreedom.ko"

"#insmod /data/psfreedom.ko"

Then do the normal Jailbreak/PSgroove/PSFreedom power off on and quickly hit eject

It will take a little longer to boot (this is good)

Then under the "Game" tab it will show two new icons "/app_home/PS3/Game" and "Install Package Files"

Done using Cyanogenmod 6

Excellent job devs!

[Motorola Droid Android Development] zerosignal0:
So just to make sure I am understanding correctly you are saying that this method is confirmed working for the droid? If so where did the work come from? Was this recompiled from another platform and if so what is the source?

-Z
[Motorola Droid Android Development] freehood4all:
Yes I have tested and it works, I have already backed up a game, and used the ftp server.

The work came from several people in #PSFreedom on irc.freenode.net

I think you are asking how was the module compiled, afaik it was from a 2.6.32 droid kernel.

Also you should note that when you flash the modded boot image Charging does NOT work you should have adequate battery BEFORE trying and you should flash back to your old boot image with an advanced nandroid restoring the boot image.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] zerosignal0:
Awesome! Thanks for the info, I was just wondering where the dev work was coming from. Also thanks a bunch for the boot_image heads up because I was just about to flash it over but wouldnt have been able to test it for a few hours.

-Z
[Motorola Droid Android Development] zerosignal0:
So this may seem like a dumb question but I have the backup manager files and such but am not sure where on the sdcard to place it. Also what is the path you are supposed to use on the hdd (both internal and external) to place backups and write backups?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] freehood4all:
Place any .pkg files on the root of a thumb drive thats formated to FAT32

As for backups you can put backups under /dev_hdd0/game/LAUN12345/GAMEZ "This is the path if you are using the original backupmanager.pkg and not some stealth backupmanger"

For games on an external I believe you put a folder named "GAMEZ" on the root of HDD. I haven't tried with external yet, so correct me if I'm wrong.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] zerosignal0:
I will let you know when I get out of work. I have setup and saved my rom with the kernel changes so I can quick change when necessary. Thanks for the update on the file paths as well.

[Motorola Droid Android Development] siccstepsccs:
I'm totally lost right now can someone walk me through on how to do this? I have cm6 on my droid
[Motorola Droid Android Development] zerosignal0:
You essentially are kinda following the same steps for flashing the boot image for getting manual root and some older roms. The instructions are pretty straightforward but make sure that you take a nandroid backup before making any changes.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] zerosignal0:
I am running chevys SS 4.7 rom but I believe the kernel versions should be the same. As soon as I get out of here Ill update with the results.

[Motorola Droid Android Development] zackw:
Just did this on my Droid running Liquid Frozen Yogurt 1.6.

One thing I noticed vs your instructions.. I did not have to mount anything in better terminal, I just executed the script directly after entering su.

The hack should work on any ROM that runs a 2.6.32.x kernel.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] siccstepsccs:
#mv psfreedom.ko /data/psfreedom.ko im having problems at that terminal input it says it cant find the file
[Motorola Droid Android Development] zackw:
If you placed the files on the root of your sdcard, type the following:

cd /sdcard

mv psfreedom.ko /data/psfreedom.ko

or

mv /sdcard/psfreedom.ko /sdcard/data/psfreedom.ko

Simpler instructions for other people starting fresh... less commands.

Place boot.img in root of sdcard

Place psfreedom.ko in sdcard/data/

Reboot into Recovery with phone plugged into computer USB

Load ADB and enter command: "flash_image boot /sdcard/boot.img"

Restart device normally and run Terminal Emulator.

In terminal type "su" then enter

Then type "insmod /sdcard/data/psfreedom.ko"

[Motorola Droid Android Development] zerosignal0:
Having problems getting it working. I had SS 4.7 which has the proper kernel version so I moved onto a fresh copy of cyanogen 6 with the Droid-Freedom.zip kernel updates. I get the unknown usb device message but no icons. Then I tried a fresh copy of LithiumMOD and the kernel updates. Same thing...

Anyone have any ideas?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] fronc:
Simplest

The simplest instructions are to just place the attached "Droid-Freedom.zip" on your SD card, boot into recovery, and "Install from .zip"

Then just do an Advanced Nandroid Restore of "Boot" and you're back to normal.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] baberg:
What payload is included in this, and how would I go about changing the payload? (i.e. with/without the Backup Manager, and/or new versions of same?)

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] LifeInTheGrey:
Okay, so I found this on the EVO forums, and thought it would be helpful on the Hero CM6 nightlies because (a) currently, Email.apk FCs constantly on the nightlies, and (b) the new PIN/password security policy for Exchange setup is pretty damn annoying. Pushing this apk to /system/app will overwrite the previous Email setup with one that performs all of the same functions, but does not require a PIN or password for Exchange Autosync.

All credit goes to afflaq ... like I said, grabbed it from the EVO forums, and just posting it here. I have been running it on the last few nightlies, and works just as promised. Just push through adb as such ...

adb remount

adb push Email.apk /system/app

Hope this helps!

mmcblk0 is the link for the sdcard.

I am currently playing with a version of CM6 that supports app2sd. Its installed size is 256mb. So it can fit on the phones internal memory confortablly and auto installs all apps to the sdcard (ext4 formatted).

I am attempting to write a script that boots the android from the internal memory. So far its complete but i can not find what the internal memory 'symlink' (probably used that term wrong) is.

Thank you.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cyberjam:
Hello,

Could somebody please compile BusyBox 17.2 with all the features/utilities turned ON, especially CIFS and NFS (for mount utility)? I know it's not a stable release yet, but instead of compiling a stable one, why not the latest...

The ultimate purpose for me is a future use of "mount", when all necessary modules are published by Dev team.

The next of course would be to compile CIFS and NFS (along with dependencies such as RPC etc.) modules.

Since we don't have a working CIFS modules yet, I was fooling around with NFS :) and I was able to use older BusyBox builds, where NFS was ON.

I also got very close to mounting a remote NFS share - I used NetRipper's regular kernel, but loaded (modprobe) NFS module (with dependency modules) from NetRipper's USBHOST kernel, making sure that kernel build IDs are the same, otherwise modules would not load...

So everything seemed to be OK, modules loaded, busybox with NFS enabled mount ready, myself excited about what I might have achieved, :) up until I stumbled on "mounting failed: Not a directory" error... Initially mount command was failing with "mounting failed: Input/output error", then I switched to "TCP" with "nolock" mode, that's when "Not a directory" error surfaced...

I guess there is still some incompatibility with the kernel... just time wasted :(

Anyway, just created this thread for BusyBox 17.2.

I can attach all other older BusyBox versions that I was able to dig up online, they have different sets of features/utilities and I tested them all. Just let me know if anybody interested.

Just make a metamorph theme and take whatever images you want from various framework-res.apks and put them in the metamorph's theme folder.

Metamorph will only copy the files you add to it to the apk, it won't modify anything else that's already there.

good luck with t-mobile and their ****ty service & reception. i hear sprint may be buying them out anyways. ;)

even if we did get the legend or hero2 im sure it would at least have a 1ghz cpu. and for your guys info all future sprint phones will have 4g and that $10 coolness fee. they want to covert everyone over, hence stopping supporting the hero.

negative on the converting over to 4g.. they have to get it nationwide for that to happen.. Im still 45 miles away from any 4g.. so getting the desire for me would rock..

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RyanZA:
While I've done this on a PC before, I've never tried this on Android, and I'm not sure if anything changes, so I thought I'd ask for advice! :)

This is how the internal SD card is partitioned at stock (8GB model):

[/data (RFS) 2GB][ /sdcard (FAT32) 6GB ]

This is how it is partitioned in the voodoo kernel:

[/data (RFS) 200MB][ EXT4 1.6GB ][ /sdcard (FAT32) 6GB ]

Okay, so changing /data requires a kernel mod, since it can't be unmounted at runtime, and it's RFS so it can't be resized afaik. I don't really have a problem with flashing the kernel, but a lot of people I've talked to aren't really happy with it. Plus, samsung has put changes into the kernel that aren't available in the source yet. Plus Froyo.

So I want to do the following:

[/data (RFS) 2GB][ /sdcard (FAT32) 3GB ][ EXT2/EXT4 3GB]

Since /sdcard can be unmounted at runtime, there should be no issue unmounting it, resizing it since it's just FAT32, changing the partition size, and then making a new partition with the left over space and formatting that as EXT2/EXT4 and then using normal symlinks.

So, the questions!

1) Any safety issues? I can't see any.

2) I've been spoiled by tools like gnu parted - how would I do the partition changing on Android? Should I just port gnu parted over? Has someone done this already?

3) Resizing FAT32 - same thing, parted should do it fine though.

Thanks a lot if you can help answer any of this! If I can get answers to this, I should have a very very nice cross-firmware/cross-variant lagfix that will help out a ton of people. :)
