Here is where I downloaded the cityid apk. Hope it helps. I do not even know if it was the right one. They are for the Droid X but I assumed since they are similar it would work but I can not ge it to install to my system /app

[Droid Pro General] mark280470:
APK doesn't install

Yes, there's something strange going on with the TAB.

I get "application not installed" when I try to reinstall the mail app. I've also tried moving the APK into the system/app folder but it won't even with r/w access.

I've also tried installing with adb, but that throws INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT.

The same file installs fine on my HTC Desire.

I used Superoneclick to root the TAB, and terminal seems to get su without problem, but I think there's something I'm missing.

Any help gratefully received.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofthebraves:
I was wondering if it was possible to create a hack to enable htc navigation for the dhd roms for the desire permanently. I have tried the free trial before and it worked like a charm, only problem is that it stops working when u reflash a new rom (or when the 30 day trial is up)

I am hesitant to try and purchase the license because it might not work or would become useless if I switched roms again..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] exabrial:
Back when I had a samsung moment, I was running a custom rom where the dev had put some sort of protection around the su command. Every time a program wanted to use su, it had to ask me.

Does anyone know the name of this prog that protected the su? Are the better methods?

thanks

Hello i have a bell galaxy s and have had a lot of problems with it. I've had it for 4 months and it has gone it for service twice and is f#@kup again after havivg it back for 4 days. Has anyone had any luck returning a phone after this length of time and if so how did you do it? Even a trade for a brand new one or a desire z.

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] got_milk:
I assume it's for the internal SD card?

Honestly, this would be my approach (2 times in 4 months in for repair!!):

1. Go to Bell store with receipt (if possible) and phone

2. Demonstrate that the phone is once again not functioning

3. Remind them that you got this back 4 days ago from repairs

4. Ask for a new one on the spot. No more waiting for repairs.

5. If they don't comply, get the store manager. Re-explain the situation.

6. If they still don't comply, remind them that a Rogers Wireless/Wind (or whatever carrier you choose) mobile location isn't too far away, and that being a highly dissatisfied customer with Bell selling and returning defective products isn't very motivating to keep you as a customer

7. Enjoy your brand new phone! (Hopefully).

I'm usually very aggressive in these kinds of situations so if I attempted this the police may need to drag me away, but honestly if you just got it back I wouldn't tolerate that bulls**t.

Hello. I have a Droid Incredible (with a cracked screen), and I'm on insurance. I'm getting a new Incredible, but can I tell Verizon that I want a Fascinate?
[Droid 2 Android Development] Phoible:
I'm trying to figure out how to build kernel modules that will work with the Droid2. I want to get FUSE support working, and need to build the fuse module to make this happen.

I got this working on a Nexus One by using the msm source from git and the config file already on the phone. I just built with the module enabled, copied the module to /system/lib/modules, and ran insmod.

However, I'm interested in getting this to work on the Droid2. I downloaded the DroidX kernel source from Motorola's Open Source Site:

https://opensource.motorola.com/sf/go/projects.droidx/frs.droidx_source_froyo

Since there is no config file for the Droid 2, I configured with:

make sholes_defconfig

I was then able to enable fuse support in the config, and build.

While I was building, I hit a number of implicit declaration errors, and had to comment out/remove things from various source files. None of these should be related to fuse.

I got the module (fuse.ko) to build, but when I tried to insmod it, I got the dreaded exec format error, which indicates it wasn't built for the correct architecture. I would guess that Droid2 and DroidX kernel modules aren't cross-compatible.

Does anyone have working instructions for getting kernel modules to build successfully on the Droid2? I know that the Droid Overclock uses a kernel module (and the modules for Droid2 and DroidX are different), so someone must have been successful already.

Thanks for any help or suggestions.
[Droid 2 Android Development] mjones1052:
JRummy is the creator of one of the OC apps, not sure if he actually made the kernel, but you can hit him up on Twitter @Jrummy
[Droid 2 Android Development] Phoible:
I managed to get this working. All that I needed to do was to run:

ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- make mapphone_defconfig

After this, I manually edited the .config file to enable FUSE support (although you can also do this with make menuconfig)

Then, I ran:

ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- make

This built the kernel and module with no errors. I was able to successfully push the module (fuse.ko) to /system/lib/modules/ and to run insmod.

I suppose that the modules for the Droid 2 and the Droid X are in fact binary compatible (correct me if this is wrong).
[Droid 2 Android Development] orkillakilla:
So how is it that we can overclock now? Dont you have to make a new kernel or do you somehow edit the stock one?

Sent from my Motorola Droid 2 with Fission 2.3.1 and ThirdEye Black theme.
[Droid 2 Android Development] newk8600:
A kernel module was added so that we could Overclock we still have the same stock kernel (as 2.3.20 (D2) that is)
[Droid 2 Android Development] orkillakilla:
Ah. So I take it with the efuse it would be hard/impossible to make an entirely new kernel then.

Sent from my Motorola Droid 2 with Fission 2.3.1 and ThirdEye Black theme.
[Droid 2 Android Development] Phoible:
eFuse prevents you from replacing the kernel with a new one. The only way to replace the kernel would be to crack eFuse.

In my case, I would rather install a module than an entirely new kernel, so this approach works fine for me.
[Droid 2 Android Development] orkillakilla:
I mean I'm prefectly fine with installing a module. I was just curious as to what efuse prevents us from doing. I'm sure sometime, somehow someone will crach efuse. You guys are brilliant with that kind of stuff.
[Droid 2 Android Development] oTToToTenTanz:
Thanks for that cheering words. Completely new to Android I start with a locked down device... :o how wonderful is that...

If Motorola continues to efuse their devices it was my last. Hopefully somebody is a able to get a workaround =)
[Droid 2 Android Development] dtmorgwsu:
Phoible,

Did you happen to build an ext2.ko module when you compiled the kernel and built your fuse.ko module. I've been meaning to build one I just haven't gotten around to it.
[Droid 2 Android Development] KnightCrusader:
Interesting. I wonder if this would work for the tun.ko module as well. Or is the Droid 2 Global source the same as the Droid 2? I haven't gotten a clear answer on that...
[Droid 2 Android Development] trueballs:
Has anyone tried working on a loopback module for the droid 2 or dx yet or have any interest in getting this started?
[Droid 2 Android Development] Master Turkey:
Has anyone tried this on the global? Would like to get some kernel action on my Droid 2 Global...

Sent from my Rooted Droid 2 Global
[Droid 2 Android Development] Phoible:
Nope. But I'm sure that you can build it, and just about any kernel module you might want, in pretty much the same way...
[Droid 2 Android Development] Phoible:
It should work on the Droid 2 Global and Droid Pro, although I haven't tried. But considering that the source was for the Droid X, and worked on the Droid 2, it should work on all 36x0 Droids.

Even though you can build a new kernel, you can't install it, because the bootloader is still locked. You are only going to be able to install the modules you build against the kernel...
[Droid 2 Android Development] dtmorgwsu:
Hmmm. Everytime I've tried to build the kernel and modules I get the exec error. Did you do anything different, other than what you stated?

Thanks
[Droid 2 Android Development] Master Turkey:
Is there a module I can download and try to apply? Or do I have to build myself? Im a little new to all this...

I just finished building a handful of kernel modules from the Moto DX kernel source, but don't know if they work or not...

If any one wants to test them, I posted them here and at:

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-x-hacks/101967-droid-x-ubuntu-partition.html#post1184972

The zip includes the following files:

cryptoloop.ko ext2.ko ext4.ko fuse.ko loop.ko tun.ko

EDIT:

I just tried loading the loop.ko and I am getting the "Exec format error"...

Any ideas where I went wrong compiling these?

I installed them using the following method from a terminal emulator:

$ su
# cd /sdcard/xScope/Downloads (change to where you downloaded/extracted the files)
# mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mcblk1p21 /system
# cp loop.ko /system/lib/modules/loop.ko

# insmod /system/lib/modules/loop.ko
# mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mcblk1p21 /system

[Droid 2 Android Development] allyouhave:
I know literally nothing about building kernels or what exactly you guys are trying to accomplish with these modules, but from reading over these posts it appears that you can alter the way the current kernel does its stuff, right?

Assuming you would use a kernel module to OC a D2, is there a (simple) way for me to add a module with 7 speed slots? I'm tired of dealing with OC'ing with only 4 slots when setCPU could be waaay more useful with a few more options.

I bought an HTC Incredible a month and a half ago. I had my phone "temporarily" rooted with Z4 Root for about a month no problem. Over the weekend I went into Titanium Backup to unfreeze an app and it says I don't have root privileges. Super User now says it wants to update and then errors out. I power cycled and ran Z4 Root again and it says it worked, but still no Super User. I have read a little here and there on the internet but have not been able to figure out why this happened. I read OTA update may have caused it, but I don't remember receiving any updates and I also noticed Z4 Root is not in Market anymore and pretty much most of the links to it on the web are dead now. Were did it go? Anybody know whats up with this?

Also, I was wondering if doing a factory reset will restore the apps I froze with Titanium Backup? I want to do a restore so I can make a clean backup. I am planning on checking out Unrevoked3.

Thanks For All Of theReplies

Thank you everyone for all of your replies, sorry I have not been more interactive with this thread. I did manage to get everything worked out and figured I would share my results. It turned out all I had to do to get Z4 Root to work again was give my device a factory reset through HBOOT. Once I did that I was able to to fire up Z4 Root and get Titanium Backup going, etc.

I just wanted to post this to let you all know I figured this out and appreciate the responses. I am no longer using Z4 Root, I ended up rooting with Unrevoked. Everything is working great, I essentially was using Z4 Root before so I could use Titanium backup, but now the possibilities I have are endless!! I have been having so much fun playing with roms, themes, etc. I am new to all of this, but I am a tech Junkie so I am catching on fast. I recommend to anyone who is just getting into this to DO YOUR RESEARCH before modifying your device so you know what you are getting yourself into!! Thanks again everyone!

NO! it is just another "hacking tool" and nearly every "hacking tool" is considered undesirable by AV companies!

I suppose it is like this:-

if you don't trust the people you download from, don't download

if you DO trust them, and it is a security or hacking tool, then learn to live with the false positives from your AV software!

or, don't use Windows :) but that's a whole other discussion :)

What a shame...

It really is a shame that this app is no longer supported. Based on all the posts I've read since hearing about this app the developer claimed that it would not work on all phones and listed as many as he could based on user feedback. Unfortunately it looks like something in Froyo and certain phones stopped it from working.

I'm really surprised that no one has come out with something similar. This seems to be a great way to go especially for the large group of people who are not comfortable with trying to root through a PC. Reading posts even going the PC route looks to be a real pain in the rear. What was great about this app was that it either worked or it didn't. Did not cause any problems if it didn't work and was a simple true 1 click to root.

I know there are some great programmers/developers out there who have created some really great stuff. I only wish someone would take the time to make another app similar to z4Root for those of us afraid to get into the technical aspect of rooting. Then there's the crowd that I fit under and that is the group who use Mac. Unfortunately there is very little support for Mac and this would be a great help to be able to bypass the compute period.

qbking77 made a video of a similar app that was supposed to work with the Samsung Epic but it did nothing. I still don't understand how it could work on one Epic but not another unless he was already rooted, different OS or what. I did follow the video exactly and even named and placed the files where he put them but still it was a disappointment to not have a rooted phone yet.

I'm new to Arizona and I don't know anyone out here with a PC so I can't even attempt to root on a PC. The little information I have found on Mac, they seem to be stuck or it works only with versions of the OS one bump above mine which I can't use because its for Intel Macs. Hopefully someone is working on another true one click that works from the phone. This just seems like a better way to go. I thought about learning to program but the more I thought about it the less sense it made. There is no way I'd be able to even touch the kind of code these talented programmers are playing around with. In the meantime I guess I'll just be stuck with this half baked working phone.
