Bit of an unusual request and I think I might already know the answer to this but here goes...

I'm looking for a way to gain adb access to my desire without booting the Android OS. I figured the best way of doing this would be to flash the recovery with a replacement (ClockworkMod for example).

Why am I doing this? I'm a forensic investigator and have a suspect's desire. I'm testing on my own phone and want to find a way of accessing the phone without changing any data inside the MTDs.

I'm thinking that a fastboot command might work but I'd like some confirmation before I start as I do not want to brick my own phone ;)

Is it possible either:

a) gain adb access or replace the recovery without rooting the phone?

b) root the phone, get into recovery with a modified recovery, get the data, and then 'fix' the rooting?

Any help would be gratefully received.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Pretty sure you need root to flash a new recovery
[Desire General] mortenmhp:
Well as rooting is just the superuser apk and a Su binary placed on the system partition it should be possible. This is usually done after flashing the recovery which is flashed using an exploit. Most programs like unrevoked do both things though so you will have to remove the superuser apk and the binary afterwards.

Alternately there might be a command to dump a partition from fastboot. I don't know.

I suppose if you contact HTC or Google and supply the proper credentials, they would have a way to access that information. Worth a shot, anyway. :-)

Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot Froyo on Hero action here!
[Desire General] schizophreud:
In a perfect world yes, but I don't work for the police directly and there's all kinds of trade secret issues with software and phones so HTC are, sadly, disinclined to acquiesce to our request!

I know where their offices are in the UK so I might go knock on their door instead ;)
[Desire General] schizophreud:
So unrevoked's payload includes the superuser.apk and su. I guess it should be possible to do something similar but without so those in the payload. Pity they haven't shared their exploit.

[HD2 General] blazehops:
I'm not one for askin questions as a good search normally throws summat up along the lines of what i would be looking for but right now i'm stuck. This has annoyed me for a while now, when i've received an sms or email .etc notification and i read the sms the 'notification bubble' (the thing that shows how many messages i have) stays there if i come out of the message too quick, 99% of the time i have read the message and i have to wait for a couple of seconds to make sure that the number of new messages icon dissapears, is there any way of changing the length of time of this, so if i get a new message i can look at it and read it in a split second and the phone excepts that i dont have a 'new' message anymore?

My appologies if this has been answered as i figured it would be a common problem.......hangovers dont normally effect my searching abilities

hello there,

Some of apps installed in my galaxy s dont show up in market download list and it wont update the apps? any suggestions on how to make the apps appear in download list and auto upgrades itself? thanks in advance. sorry if this has been asked before. this is my 1st forums posting ever.
[Android Apps and Games] tbo-art:
Did you install it from the SD-card? Then they won't show up in the android market.

Tbo-art
[Android Apps and Games] LeatherFace:
Yeah i do install from the SD-card. but is there a hack for it to show up in my download list ? because i bought beejive a week back.. later i had to backup my phone for some rom flashing now i installed everything but beejive and few other apps dont show it in my download list for updates. when i try to update beejive it takes me too buy a new one :| please help.:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] tbo-art:
I don't know how to solve it. Try to contact the developer of the app. Maybe he can solve it.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pressfirenow:
So I played around with a couple of other launchers (LauncherPro and ADW), but have a feeling that TouchWiz might be hardware accelerated by using the GPU chip on the i9000 where as others probably aren't ?

For example enable a resource hungry live wallpaper and open applications. Now scrolling the applications is still very smooth on the touchwiz where as on the other launchers I tried, I can feel scrolling the app list becomes much more choppy because the live wallpaper seems to be running in the background.

That made me wonder if Touchwiz is perhaps using GPU acceleration instuctions taking advantage of the samsung hardware, or perhaps Touchwiz is just more clever to temporarely disable live wallpaper when it's not visible, where the other launchers still have them running in the background when viewing app list.

Maybe it's a placebo effect, but it also felt like phone got warmer using other launchers (indicating they use more processor and perhaps not taking advantage of samsung hardware GPU in the same way like Touchwiz does).
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] valy31:
ill give a try to touchwizz right now
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Harboe:
I think it runs great to, but as long as you can't set the middle as default, it's not for me. Anyone found a way to do this with rooting yet?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] BenF1:
Use SGS Tools.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Harboe:
Doesn't work. Just tried it again on Froyo. :-(
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] BlockbusterF:
You can change the default page in froyo touchwiz, but you have to edit the .apk to do it. But it's very simple.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] frally79:
SGS tools worked for me to edit touchwiz. I have 3 homepages and set 2 as my default homepage by setting it to 1(0 is the first page). I am on JPM tatyamas lite ROM
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] SonyEX1:
How do i do that?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] m3s_4ev3r:
There s an application in the market. Use the keywords sgs default screen. Use it. I think you ll need root though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Spitfire128:
Doesn't even take a resource-hungry live wallpaper for me. If I enable any live wallpaper it will make LauncherPro quite laggy, in the app drawer but also a bit on the homescreen itself, whereas TouchWiz stays perfectly smooth.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Unimaginative:
I guess it would make sense that TW would be better tailored to the SGS it's included with as opposed to other launchers that need to maintain compatibility with everything, but I'm still pretty surprised. My interest is piqued now so I'll just have to give it a go!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] HazzBazz:
I can confirm all findings here. I use launcher pro but its laggy, even with no live wallpaper but with 3 full pages of widgets. Considering gpu performance on benchmarks you expect it to be smooooooooth.

Will be interested to see if the performance improves.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pele78:
Have a go with Zeam.

Simple, minimalistic and smooooood imo.

Coming from LauncherPro.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] danamoult:
The LauncherPro widgets would be sorely missed though :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Borky_16:
AOSP Froyo Launcher is also very very smooth with/without Live Wallpaper give it a try...

You must push the Apk to System/app to use the Launcher.. ;DD

I´ve the Link push and then enjoy...! ;DD

http://www.multiupload.com/1LTATKVMXD
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Unimaginative:
Gave it a go using TW for a day and I have to admit it does seem a helluva lot smoother than Launcher Pro, even with a LWP on. Colour me impressed!

Yeah, I eventually had to admit defeat and got back to LP for the widgets too. Will see if I can find equivalents to use with TW.

Will give this one a go too. Cheers.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] anoneemooz:
I'm a TouchWiz fan for it's looks and smoothness. :)

Sure it isn't as customizable as all the other launchers out there, but on it's own TouchWiz looks great IMHO. I know a lot of people who hate the iPhone-esque look though so appearance is just all a matter of personal taste. Still, for me TouchWiz is great; no need to go through the trouble of finding the perfect theme/icons or setting things up perfectly to your liking.

I'm obsessive compulsive though so I guess it really does take me forever to set everything up exactly the way I like them to be. I've tried LauncherPro and some other launchers and I got overwhelmed and tired with all the control I had over the look and feel of my SGS. Don't get me wrong...I love customization and the whole process of doing so...but I'm just too OC.

Added to that was how they just didn't feel as smooth as TouchWiz. Even on a freshly flashed and cleaned up phone alternative launchers don't seem to match TouchWiz in terms of the overall feel. Maybe it's just me :D

So even if I may not have a great looking and extra-functional dock, resizable widgets, and hundreds of layout possibilities..sometimes simpler is easier and better. :)

I might change my mind once I get bored of my current layout. Haha!

I'll tinker with the apk's and see what customization possibilities I can unlock while sticking to TouchWiz. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] schiphol:
TW: If I wanted an iPhone, I would have gotten one. Scrolling right finding an app drives me insane. I disagree with some in this thread on its performance. IMO it's not fasther than e.g. LP once you put stuff on the home screen

ADW: used to be great, I don't know what they were thinking with the last couple of releases, it has gotten incredibly slow.

LP: love it. Unlike some other people that replied: I hate the widgets they look ugly as they offer no option to make them transperant. Has the prettiest dock and allows you to custom set the homescreen grid. Especially the latter is awesome

Zeam: Love it, very similar to LP in daily usage actually, but faster.

I'm sticking with LP for now because it allow me to set a 5 icon application grid which saves you 2 minutes scrolling through your application grid per day. The dock is the prettiest so I guess it has the best customizability vs performance balance. If just want the fastest out there go with Zeam.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] baste07:
i'd go with LPP too
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] anoneemooz:
On froyo you can do a pinch gesture to bring up an overview of all your panes of apps. :) I find it a quick way to find and jump to the app youre looking for. I feel it's rather zippy especially with voodoo in place. :) That's just my opinion though! JUst wanted to comment on your complaint about scrolling right. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] nitzanj:
Well in TW you can always switch the application drawer to list mode. Much more comfortable for my taste. sorted alphabetically and very fast scrolling=instantly finding whatever I need. And of course I use shortcuts for the few really useful apps.

I loved the look and feel of LP but it's not fast enough (JPC+OCLF), sometimes my phone would hang when unlocking, etc. Maybe I'll give zeam a try...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] chickie.tobias:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dakine:
Use the registry hack found here to get kies to do the upgrade. Remove the lagfix before flashing
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kapollo:
As it was mentioned in other threads, yes you have to. I'm not sure though if it applies to all of plethora of lag fixes out there, but it is always a gooooooood idea to remove modifications before trying to do something official with you phone, better to be on the safe side.

As for the JM5 I don't know but I suspect that if Kies doesn't recognize that firmware it will not let you do anything, i.e. if you flashed ROM from other region. But thats only a guess.

Cheers.
