Dialer Codes not supported by all Roms, need ##DATA#

I am testing several custom ROMs. (CM7, Viper-Trinity ) and they dont seem to support dialer codes.

I don't want to have to go back to a stock rom (and probably mess up my PST settings).

I have tried to install HiddenMenu.apk (mentioned earlier in this thread), when I try to install using file manager, after I click install, it says "Application not installed", when I try to install using "adb install HiddenMenu.apk" I get /sbin/sh pm not found.

I have seen references to using ADW and Launcher Pro to go directly to these activities, but I cant seem to find the activities I am looking for such as ##DATA# and ##DEBUG#.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Koadic:
To access these, they are found under com.android.hiddenmenu (under custom shortcut->activities). I am fairly certain, but I don't believe this is included with CM7, although I am unsure about Viper.

If not included in Viper, then you can always try and push the HiddenMenu.apk from another rom into the system/app folder (can even try with CM7, but I don't know if it would work)
[Epic 4G Android Development] makipsee:
This has come up in the viper thread the problem is with the dialertabactivity.apk if u replace that with the stock dialer the codes will work

odin didn't overwrite it on my phone, it's been flashed with odin over a dozen times and it still says status:yes and underneath it provides a date (presumably the date it was refurb'd)
[Epic 4G Android Development] theroar:
I am betting none of these work with ICS huh? I am using CM9 and seem to be out of luck. Backed up my rom and am thinking of trying another rom. Bummer cause I love ICS on the EPic.

I read the post about the hidden menu.apk... does it work with ICS?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Datguy_n_Disguy:
Or you can go to the market and install the app "MSL reader" and use that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
To use dialer codes on anything ICS or AOSP you have to run the EL30 or FC09 kexec boot from sd card by wtogami.

Wow! The virtual rom has to be the coolest thing ever! Key pad codes work as advertised, but you also get to check out a rom and return to yours by rebooting.

Very cool!

It was easy too. I downloaded and extracted the file on the pc. Then I placed the multiboot folder at the root of the sd card.

Boot into cwm and flash multiboot/EL30/boot_EL30.zip and you are good to go. I did a nandroid first, but it was SOOOO slick. Takes a few minutes, but worth it.

Thanks tons for the tip!

choosing wimaxlinetest is the menu to change the wimax mac address

one of the others i believe can be used to confirm if your AAA authentication passes,

this is good for knowing if your edits were successful on boost/virgin...etc...

Which OS do you use that has full capabilities, and still works as a phone (tried out an android OS and it couldn't make calls).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
:D lol......

i generally use the one that came with the phone :eek:

:rolleyes:

try another android build..... i had to go through about 6 before I found one that works reasonably well.......

the one im using just now is the mdeejay evo build........
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jordan011:
That looks pretty good, I just kinda wished the camera worked, I think winmo is okay, it's just the fact that some of its features are lacking, whereas with android, if there's a problem, there's apps and/or ROM fixes.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
camera works on the evo build......

not on the desire z build though.....

mdeejay has a few builds floating around
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jordan011:
What does that mean evo build and desire z build?

Nvm. I understand.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] enomther:
Alright all,

I know there's another thread about "easier" method, but this is easiest for me. 3-Clicks after installation.

I was really tired of typing the same crap over and over after rebooting just to get my temproot back to do more testing/playing.

So I redeveloped this to be quicker/easier upon reboot. Mainly I altered the Term app to be have a scripted start-up on the 1st 3 launches.

I also updated the su/Superuser combo with ChainDD's latest stuff.

Here's how it works, after it's installed.

Now on each reboot, it will be simply 3-clicks (running terminal app 3 times).

Finally ... any executable script placed in /data/local/tmp will be in the path of the new terminal mod. This makes running other scripts very easy.

Installation

Download the attached QuickTempRooter.zip and place it in a directory and unpack it.

Turn on USB debugging and install through adb ...

Here's the adb installation snippet ...

adb kill-server
adb push su /sdcard/su
adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
adb push rage /data/local/tmp/rage
adb push root /data/local/tmp/root
adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/busybox
adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/rage
adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/root
adb shell 'pm uninstall com.android.term'
adb install Term.apk

Has made my life wayyy easier when playing with this phone while we wait for the real-deal!!!

Hope you enjoy! :)

NOTES

If you get a permission denied on the ''adb shell 'pm uninstall com.android.term' '' ... this is normal if you don't have a terminal already installed or have an alternate terminal app (using a namespace other than com.android.term.

If you have another Terminal App installed, you may want to uninstall it first, to avoid confusion.

Also, you may need to reboot after the initial installation for it to work properly!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mikey:
ummmmm.....Enomther??

Did you get a G2 already?

Great to see you helping out with this :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ryanmo5:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] burton14e7:
I get a permission denied response when running "adb shell 'pm uninstall com.android.term'"
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] enomther:
If you didn't already have a terminal app installed that error is normal. Also you may need to reboot once after the initial installation for it to work properly.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ddgarcia05:
Sorry, this is my first Android. I came from WM and I was pretty good with it.

I've searched XDA, Youtube, and web to ADB and SDK. I've downloaded it and it's installed. The only thing I don't get is when you said to

"Download the attached QuickTempRooter.zip and place it in a directory and unpack it."

You mean place the extracted files into the sd card correct? That's why the command is "adb push su /sdcard/su".
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HamNCheese:
No, he means on your PC. You are running adb to push files contained in the zip to your phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ddgarcia05:
So they go into the tools folder? Damn. I think I've in over my head here.

Good work, Temp root in like 5 seconds :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] waiting89:
Quick question, ok I was able to get root for a few mins, then it went away I guess I have to have the terminal always open or ignore so my taskiller doesnt terminated it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Corylulu:
Don't use task killers. (IMHO)

But I tend to have to reboot every once in a while to keep root in tacked within terminal but all my apps seem to stay with su permissions until reboot (or sometimes 12 hours)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] waiting89:
OK I ignored the terminal, gave me a little longer root while using titanium and then after about 5 mins it took my root out again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SlicedKuniva:
Alright, so I followed the directions. I had my temp root after clicking the terminal 3 times. I was poking around the file system when my phone rebooted to the HTC screen. After it finished rebooting I tried to 3-click my way to temp root again and the first time on the part where it should just force close it timed out. So I tried it again and then my phone rebooted to the T-mobile screen.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bled82:
So i have terminal with the # but none of my root apps work and adb shell then su gives me permission denied . I followed the steps and also reboot devices and still no dice . I tried to run rom manger fix permissions but it fails to change level and get permissions denied same with android vnc server and wireless tether . Any ideas ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
Does terminal FC when you open it the second time? If it just hanges there and you have hit home or back and open again and you get root (# symbol) on third try, then something is wrong.... You need to uninstall terminal and redo all the steps from the guide. I do know that one of the steps pushes automatically and I ended up doing it twice and the SAME thing happened to me. Makes sure you redo the steps from the install guide and let that one push itself. that should fix it for ya. like I said... same thing happened to me. I had root but Super user app wasn't taking requests and root apps didn't work. Just redo it and pay close attention... you'll get it! Good luck!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dyndragon:
no way to reapply root in the same way by just opening terminal after you lose root at some point, huh?

Lost root, but opening terminal just gets me the $ prompt. Doesn't re-execute the scripts to gain root again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] master.peterm:
is there anyway to uninstall all this..... please..... someone help.....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thatruth132:
Activate "rootkit" lmao
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] master.peterm:
so busybox auto uninstalls..... or what
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] enomther:
Yes it installs busybox (but it's temporary) ... if you want something to stick ... try the stockG2 ROM I posted ... requires ext3 2nd partition at minimum ...

Otherwise to remove ... run the temproot process once more ... and then in adb shell or the terminal app do the following ...

rm /data/local/tmp/*

Then reboot ... and you should be all clean again.

:)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] androidtoy09:
Sorry, this question may be too far off but will this tempt root method work on the recent alleged OTA?

Anyone with the OTA updated G2 tried this temproot yet?

Thanks for your works Enomther.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] enomther:
Haven't received the OTA myself ... so (like everyone else) ... can't say for sure. I believe we're still waiting ... in the "G2 General" section ... there's a couple dudes claiming to have the update ... may wanna ask them to try. :)

I think everyone is eager to know. ... I know I am.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] automattic:
Reverse

Whats the easiest way to reverse this? pull it using ADB?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] enomther:
Well there's not a whole lot to "reverse" ... but ... reboot ... then through adb ...

adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/*
adb shell pm uninstall com.android.term

This essentially uninstalls all the associated stuff.

~enom~
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] automattic:
Thanks, just wanted to make sure the files weren't sitting around In the subsystem.

Sorry if it was answered already.

I mostly ended up using the rm commands to remove anthing pushed individually. Much easier using your method :)
[Touch HD General] phearell:
When you have andriod (rom) installed on youre windows mobile phone (example Htc HD2) will it also run every andriod app like navigation for andriod / skype for andriod ?
[Touch HD General] Tigermoto:
Shouldn't you be asking this in a forum for a device that can run an Android ROM? (example HTC HD2) We don't have one for the Blackstone.

Alternatively, it may be an idea to ask in the the Touch HD Android development rather than the Windows Mobile ROM Development.

Just an idea, you may get an answer.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deepakoffline:
Hello

After flashing, re flashing and re re flashing so many times.... now atleast i have gone bored of the HTC Desire. This is mainly because there are not many good quality apps specially games. I am no Apple fanboy but the app store is something that android doesnt looks like achieving pretty soon.

The main things i like in HTC Desire are as following:-

1) Wifi Hotspot. WOW! thats so cool

2) being able to customize it as u want it to with widgets.

3) FRIENDSTREAM WIDGET its simply awesome

4) weather animations :p

Thats all.

The major things i dont like are:-

1) Camera. its just ok, not that good.

2) battery.... it drains battery as if its hungry all the time

3) no good games/apps

So what do you have to say? Are you still happy with the Desire or are you planning to go with something else?

As far as i am concerned i have decided to sell it very soon.... but wifi hotspot feature is what i love the most.

If you want to play games get a DS
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lothaen:
Angry Birds, Doodle Jump, Abducted, Alchemy... they are the best games I've installed on my phone :)

Kept me busy for a good while!

On top of that there's all the emulators - now they aren't so hot for action (but probably better with wiimote add in) games, but for some others they work just fine!

I love my Desire - before that I had the WM HTC Touch HD, now that has a serious lack of games... the best I found was solitaire or ScummVM...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abomb:
I have to agree, there are not so many really good games in the market right now. But I'm sure this will change. Many surveys etc. suggest more and more developers of mobile application and games are considering developing for android, and seeing as the number of android phones rises continually I think the growing market will attract more and more developers. So I guess you just have to hang in there untill then ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deepakoffline:
Yes I agree there are few game the ones u listed. But they completed and then what after that? Same boring things. When will we have more stuff. Android platform is awesome but.....

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
good point, but as you said its a multimedia phone, emphasis being on a phone, you say there are no good games but what are you comparing this too? a ds? a psp? these are dedicated gaming machines and therefore will always have the upper hand, as other mobile platforms go the games on android are quite good, just check out the gameloft HD series and others like NFS Shift

Rooting and installing a custom ROM is the answer, that is what makes the desires one of the best PDA's on the market nowadays even better than the iPhone I would say.

I was happy until the random reboots started and I cannot send it to service so I am stuck at using it as rare as possible since every time I use it to much it reboots and then gets stuck at the white HTC screen and I have to reinstall the ROM to be able to boot again.

I like(d) it alot, and am thinking of getting another Desire. Or getting a completely different company device. Still confused :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daemon1978:
Battery drain is not a problem at all. Just compare to other os and you'll see that the situation is better on Android os due to custom kernels and cpu dynamic speed adjusting.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lierce:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamdir:
lots of nice games on android you just need to know how to hunt them

with froyo the touch responsiveness is equal to the iphone 4, SLCD desire is pretty close to IP4 screen quality too, a little less density but better colors, the IP4 screen is also much closer to the surface which is nice but ours is a little bigger

my fav game is asphalt 5 but i keep loosing my save game due to messing with my rom :D

another very impressive game i'm hooked at is panzer panic

also minisquadron, hyperjump, meteor blitz, heavy gunner, backbreaker, need for speed shift and hero of sparta all very impressive

one more thing i'm taking great pictures with the default camera app, you just need to know how to handle it's settings, for example i set sharpness to -2 which removes all the digital treatment ie over sharpness, also set colors and brightness + 1 and of course choosing correcting ISO at night

people are often just blindly impressed by the iphone 4 pics but compare them side by side and you will notice horrible performance at night from the iphone 4 and horrible of noise even at indoor daylight, even the colors produced by the iphone 4 camera are unreal

only two wins for the iphone 4 cam for me, the flawless 720p and HDR
