Testing on top of cog 2.3B6. Had voodoo enabled already. Will also try to do this to my rom with voodoo disabled later.

EDIT: Don't flash on top of voodoo enabled rom. It soft bricked. Can't get past ATT screen. Will try again with lagfix disabled.

EDIT2: does not seem to work on any top of the cogkernerl (voodoo is part of it) at all.

when it reboots voodoo starts talking, even though it shouldn't. i'm thinking its detecting changes to the partitions, and changing them back, which then bricks the rom, as you then mount items that are not there.

Perhaps this would work on a kernel that does not have voodoo as part of it.
[Captivate Android Development] irish003:
Works on Captivate stock JH7

I tried it last week and it worked great, it took about 8 or 9 minutes to root, but rooted I am. Just waiting for source now. Sorry, thought this was just root. I updated but haven't tried it out yet. I'll try it out after a fresh charge.

Awesome, Thanks Ryan! Downloading now, will report.

Update: Stock JK2 kernel patched fine but the conversion to ext2 did not work.
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
testing...........
[Vibrant Android Development] justingriff:
Quote above from i9000 forum, but thought I should reply here since this is for Vibrant.

Same for me. I am on a Vibrant Running TW Obsidian V3.1, stock kernel. Uploading my kernel, patching & redownloading all seemed to work. Selected convert filesystem, the app said it was copying files, etc., and rebooted. App still says FS is RFS after reboot, and Quadrant score is the same. Maybe doesn't work with this ROM?

Also, I was surprised there was only an option for ext2. I thought the point of z4mod was to use ext4 or some other format. I apologize if I am mistaken. Thanks for all your hard work! OCLF app is great. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
I was running it on stock rom so I'm betting it's strictly a coding issue. As for ext2 being the only option I believe it's b/c that is all the stock kernel supports. Someone correct me if I'm wrong...
[Vibrant Android Development] jumaaneface:
Correct. I think stock also supports ext3 also

[Vibrant Android Development] zosorox:
Worked like a charm Ryan! I had to root phone again due to a soft brick last and your Z4root got me rooted quick and easier than the previous method I used. Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] budney:
Didn't work for me, on stock 2.1 (ji6). It would only reboot into recovery after patched kernel was applied.
[Vibrant Android Development] hanbaoquan15:
Does it work with Froyo?

Also how different is it from the Universal Lagfix that team whiskey has?
[Vibrant Android Development] jamesyl:
Yes it works with Froyo. This is an app that patches the kernel, not an entire kernel replacement like the ULF. This is a bit less invasive because any future kernel changes from Samsung won't require a reflash. On the other hand, ULF has far more options (including formatting more than just /data and your choice of file systems -- although z4 has stated RyanZA will add these options in future releases)
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
I want to convert all of /System.

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] MWBehr:
Gave it a shot. Uploaded kernel, patched it, downloaded it, rebooted to flash kernel, but doesn't seem to flash it. Every time I reopen the app it wants to try flashing it again. Is it just a CWM .zip that I can flash manually, and if so where can I find it?

I'm running Macnut R12 with stock JK2 kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] zmattmanz:
Nope -- doesn't work. What's the simplest way to fix this?
[Vibrant Android Development] compuguy1088:
It seemed to patch the stock JK2 froyo kernel, but the filesystem would not convert to ext2...
[Vibrant Android Development] SiL3nTKiLL:

[Vibrant Android Development] Ashex1:
That won't do anything as /system is read-only. The lag comes from writebacks.

I am fairly new to Android (just switched from iPhone). Will rooting a phone break the ability to receive OTA updates?
[Fascinate Android Development] Chuban7:

[Fascinate Android Development] RacerXFD:
This is an un root method from what I understand. If you're using an alternate kernel, you are already un rooted.
[Fascinate Android Development] pkopalek:
Root just means to 'gain root access' to your phone, usually by having a 'su' (superuser) binary in your bin/xbin directory, and by having a Superuser.apk (Superuser App) that uses this binary when an app wants Superuser permissions. (in other words, you can delete system files, do things with the hardware that the original manufacturer did not intend, etc etc).

Unrooting technically just involves deleting the 'su' binary and uninstalling/deleting the Superuser App.

NOW

If you install a custom Recovery (it's a separate partition on your phone - basically like a second hard drive on your computer) which you can boot up from, such as ClockworkMod, you can install custom ROMs (such as the ones you'll see in this development section), and SOME of those may or may not have OTA updates disabled.

Typically developers will set up ROMs with all of the latest OTA fixes and things anyway, or the ROMs will be based on the latest OTA builds. So not having OTA updates is virtually meaningless if you keep your ROM up to date. Once in a while OTA updates will do what Apple's iOS updates do - which means fixing a security hole that allowed Rooting.

So in short, just having root access does NOTHING to OTA updates. Installing a custom ROM that has OTA updates disabled, and/or going into whatever directories necessary to delete the OTA Certs file by using your root access CAN disable OTA updates.
[Fascinate Android Development] 6spdtls:
did you flash clockworkmod recovery through odin first? lastest stupidfast 1.5.4 test version should work on stock kernel but you'll lose haptic feedback, unless you have DJ05 handy.
[Fascinate Android Development] ms262c:
I just got a white fascinate from bestbuy on Friday. For only $1 I thought it was time to upgrade from the original Droid. I have experience with rooting, my Droid was rooted since day one. I don't consider myself a noob but I also wouldn't consider myself a master at it. I've been reading all the root methods but they require a PC, which I don't currently have access to. So I found z4root and fired it up. Got root and it seemed simple. Installed busybox and super user.

I attempted to install clockwork through rom manager and it said it was successful so I downloaded super clean rom. Rebooted into recovery to find it didn't install, researched and found an update.zip to access clockwork and that didnt work. Got a signature verification error.

Downloaded root explorer to apply the 3g speed fix. Went to remount system as r/w but can not do that. Root explorer has super user permissions but I can not change folders or files to r/w access.

I'm not sure if its a problem with z4root or if having a white fascinate is to blame? Any input is grately appreciated. Thanks!

[Vibrant General] Inat:
I was playing a game on my Vibrant on my break earlier today and upon exiting it my screen locked up. Rather than wait for it, I pressed the power button to turn the screen off and went back to work.

A little later I brought it out to check the time and saw that the screen was on am pretty sure I saw that it said "Scanning media" at the top and assumed it had reset itself. A little bit after that I checked my phone again and saw the NoLed icon for new emails. I pressed the power button to turn on the screen and then tried to swipe it to unlock it but nothing happened.

That's pretty much where I am now. The volume and power buttons work but the screen is unresponsive (I can bring up the "Phone Options" screen but can't select any of the options) and none of the "soft" buttons on the bottom work either. Is my only option to do a hard reset?

And if it helps, this is a completely stock phone. Never been rooted.

I would just pull the battery.

Well?

I don't actually have a Z (yet), but I'm sure that someone will like this, and I'll use it (if there) when I get mine.

Perhaps a real dual-boot, but even just a chroot with the keyboard would be good.

Also - off topic but still - if the Z (or any other Ubuntu booting device) got USB Host, would it be useable in the other system? That would ROCK! Like using adb on your phone to mess with another phone.

Ooh. Confused maself there :p

I'm assuming you've seen the guides for booting debian as a virtual machine & then using VNC server to get the GUI?

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SirronTM:
Happily I got the update to 2.1 for my X10 Mini Pro last night (on O2 in the UK).

So today I installed psx4droid (it doesn't work on Donut ...right?) and I've had a go at some games.

As we all know, the X10 Mini Pro's defining feature over the X10 Mini is that it has a hardware keyboard, which works quite nicely as a gamepad if you set the key mapping properly.

Weirdly enough there's no D-Pad, so I've been using the layout:

Q W E R T Y U I O P

A S D F G H J K L ⇦

Z X C V B N M , . ⏎

▢ ⇪ ? ◂ ⊂ ⎵ ⊃ ▸ ' ℠

D-Pad

Shapes

Triggers

Select/Start

You can also map the camera key as a trigger, but obviously you can only pick one button, which would be useful for some sort of aim function where you need to hold down a trigger whilst using the D-Pad and shapes.

Firstly, don't expect to be playing the highest quality real time 3D PSX games on an X10 Mini Pro, they work but it's just not fast enough to be properly playable.

I noticed that the games ran a little more quickly if you set the scaling to Original.

You'll want a decent sized SD card for storing more than two or so of these games, they're around the 500MB mark each.

I don't have many games, but perhaps a list of compatible titles for our diminutive 'droids would be useful?

007 Racing

Works but it's far too slow.

5 Star Racing

Works but it's far too slow.

Casper

Seems to work fine.

Circuit Breakers

I found this one to be borderline playable, if you have patience you might be ok.

Crash Bandicoot

Driver 2

Works but a tad slow spoils the fun - Manny-

Final Fantasy VII

Works BASICALLY full speed - liamguest

Works perfectly (a tiny bit slow but still playable) - Manny-

Rayman

Just hangs at the Ubisoft logo, unplayable.

Use the GBA version (Rayman Advance) in the Gameboid emulator instead - liamguest

Ridge Racer

It all seems to work ok, but it's just too slow. I did manage to complete a few laps but it wasn't much fun.

Spyro the Dragon

Works "full speed..ish" - liamguest

I had less success, it was too slow for me - but my phone is completely stock with the official 2.1 update.

Street Racer

Really daft kart racer, doesn't actually involve street racing; works perfectly - if I didn't know better I'd think it was straight from the Marketplace.

Theme Park

Seems perfect, except the videos are silent. The first person 3D park view works really surprisingly fast, oddly enough.

Wipeout 3

Works very slowly - liamguest

Worms

Videos stop after the first few frames and I didn't hear any music, but the game is playable; I didn't play for long but it seemed otherwise perfect.
