[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lazerfingers:
Long story short is that yesterday I rooted my HTC Glacier and everything seemed to work fine. I was able to obtain admin privileges by opening a Android terminal and typing "su". Today after deleting a few files from my phone which I thought were junk (face palm) I go into terminal to check if the "su" command still works and I get the message "link_image[1995]: failed to link su CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE".

I've checked and my s=off is still in place so it's not that that's causing the error message. I'm new to Android so I'm stumped as to what steps to take next in order to regain my admin privileges.

Thanks for any and all advice XDA Community.

Cheers!

Try re-running visionary. It won't hurt anything and it installs su, busybox, and superuser.apk when you run it. It won't mess up anything you already have installed and it might fix your problem. :)

Also, I'm sure Whosdaman will tell you and move the thread when he sees this but make sure you post questions in the Q&A section. ;)

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grankin01:
Try going into xbin (cd /system/xbin) and typing ls and see if su is in there. If it is you could try running rom manager and "fix permissions" if it will let you.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lazerfingers:
Good deal. I'm actually out fixing someone else's desktop computer at the moment. I'll attempt your advice later tonight.

Thanks again.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lazerfingers:
Ok, had a free moment and was able to run ls, su was there but unfortunately I wasn't allowed the super user access needed to fix permissions.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
1. Go into settings-applications-manage applications and try clearing superusers cache/data. See where that takes you.

2. If that did not work - isntall a fresh copy of superuser app from the market and once more see where that takes you.

Update: Superuser automatically downloaded a new binary and told me to unzip it in recover mode.

I went into recover move and attempted to unzip the binary and was greeted with an error message that said the file couldn't be unzipped because it was "bad".
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
Can you get su in adb?

The more I think about it, You're s-off so you can fastboot new recovery image and then flash new rom with all the goodies preinstalled. May be the easiest route.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lazerfingers:
To be honest I've had my pocket computer for all of a week, so I'v still not had a chance to play around with adb.

The whole reason I rooted in the first place was so that I could flash custom roms. You think I'll be able to flash even though "su" privileges don't seem to be working properly in my current rom?

Update: It's clear from reading around these forums that the way to get to know your phone and thus be able to fix it is via adb. So I'm installing the Android SDK now. Thanks for all of your help Borodin1 and Grankin01

Edit: can someone please read this?

Ok. So I'm a noob when it comes to android for the most part. My question is, why are there different styles for the Eclair Stock launcher? The N1 had an app button with the page switcher dots. Then there is the cartoonish style app drawer like on the Samsung intercept. Then there is the app drawer that's solid dark gray like on the OG Moto Droid.

What you have noticed - is the general trend of manufacturers to make customisations to the vanilla android in an attempt to engender brand loyalty ... Probably the best example is HTC with Sense. With a device that is rooted, you can make changes yourself to suit your tastes ... I like to mix and match default android, launcher pro, bits of Sense and custom icons/colours. Welcome to the ever changing worlds of android! .. Enjoy!
[Android] zanderman112:
I know what sense, touchwiz and motoblur are. But my question should have been asked like this. On vanilla eclair, what does the app drawer look like?

Are the two not both vanilla android? Thanks for reading. Looking forward to the answer.

Both of 'em Droid was released with Android v2 but N1 was release with 2.1 also the CPU difference also means the Launchers would be different, The Droids launcer is alot faster (imo) compared to Launcher 2 (Nexus) along with RAM differences

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwertyaas:
So I'm finally going to make the jump into custom ROMS. A couple questions though.

- I know most ROMs require going back to stock (JF6) - but would flashing from JH7 stock be fine as well (I think it's alright for Axura)?

- When running Odin to return to stock, does everything return to stock - Kernel and all or must that be done in separate steps? In other words, to go back to stock - is it a one step (Odin) procedure or multiple step - as in disabling a lag fix, swapping kernels, reflashing and so on?

Thanks!

Technically it can, but it is very unlikely. The reason it says that is so that some random idiot doesn't yank the cord during data transfer.

Wait till all the data transfer is complete. Prefer to wait for like 5-10 seconds atleast after the transfer dialog closes, and then u can simply turn off usb storage on phone, and yank it out.

Been rooted for a long time now. Think im about to jump into the whole deodexed/full customization realm tonight. Just having trouble picking a rom.

Any advice on which rom?

[Droid X General] danmcq:
Gummjar is excellent if you're looking for a near-stock AOSP experience. ApeX is preferable if you want/need to use certain motoblur apps. For instance, the stock AOSP mail client doesn't allow for moving messages to folders, while the blur mail client does, so I prefer to run the blur client. It depends on your taste & needs really.
[Droid X General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I have been a Rubix fan from the beginning, and think Rubix Focused is a great ROM. I decided to try GummyJar (1.9) and I'm liking it a lot too.

as to the stock e-mail issue, you may want to try Improved E-Mail:

[Droid X General] bobenhaus:
Where do I go to get updates?
[Droid X General] Kazba1626:
If you plan on staying on that Rom then I suggest Tranquility. If you buy the TBH app in the market (only one or two bucks) you get all their latest leaks and Roms. Plus it comes with the TBH tool box which comes with 7 themes including Gingerbread, you can customize the font of your system, and add back and remove any blur. Great battery, speed, and newest leaks. Go to mydroidworld.com because thats where P3 droid who is the maker of the rom is.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blue163:
I have an i9000M which is unlocked and is being used with Rogers. Previously I was on the JH2 firmware and had no issues sending/receiving MMS messages, however once I updated to JK3 I found I could no longer receive them. I assumed this was a quirk with JK3 as it was pre-release so I just waited until the next version came along. I updated to JK4 and I was still unable to receive MMS messages. They simply say "downloading" and never finish.

I checked my APN settings on both firmwares and they are the same as before when it was working, I got them from here:

http://thekidd.ca/blog/2009/05/rogers-apn-configuration-for-android-phones/

Has anybody else run into this?

When updating I used Odin for both jk3 and jk4, and on the upgrades I did not do a full wipe. Once on JK4 I found my phone to be highly unstable so I did a full wipe and downgraded to JK3 then restored my apps and settings using titanium backup. I tested MMS before doing the restore and it was non-functional.

Any help would be appreciated :)

[Captivate Themes and Apps] bugmenever:
I have a Captivate I just upgraded to, from a BlackBerry. [FINALLY]

After reading around for a week or two on XDA it's about time I ask the questions I've been searching so long for.

It's a couple questions, but I have no idea:

I'm running the latest Cognition rom. Though it's nice and all, can I have my old boot animation back? How?

Ever since I started researching Android and their themes, I've fallen in love with chancellorr's minimalist themes, notably this one from his deviantART account: http://chancellorr.deviantart.com/gallery/26259232#/d33q9jd. I've been trying to get his setup ever since I started. Help please?

How do I use MetaMorph? I'm not sure if it's the main theming app for Android, but it's nothing like Winterboard on the iPhone, I have no idea what I'm doing! Help with that too, please? :confused:

What's the nicest and most customizable launcher for Android?

Anything else I might need to know to help further customize my Captivate? What I should be worried about, and how I can prevent issues loading themes and the like.

Thanks for helping me out, loving this Captivate so far ;)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] geokhentix:
1. Yes; the boot animation resides in /system/media/bootanimation.zip. To replace it, put the new bootanimation.zip on your SD card and move it over with root explorer. Should you not have root explorer, run the commands below via AndroidSDK/tools (put the bootanimation.zip in the /tools folder too)...

adb push bootanimation.zip /sdcard/
adb shell
su [i](should change from a $ to a #, dont forget to accept superuser on the phone too)[/i]
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /system/media/
exit
exit
adb reboot

2. As this seems to be designed for a different device, it would require decompiling the frameworks and such and porting them over to captivate-esque code; that would work with the captivates framework.

3. This thread should teach you how to MetaMorph.

4. It's a matter of opinion. The two big ones are Launcher Pro and ADW.Launcher, both come with their own advantages and disadvantages. Want a transparent app drawer background? ADW. Want to hide apps in the app drawer? LauncherPro. Best way to find which one you like is to try them yourself, but as for customizable, i would say Launcher Pro as you don't have to jump through hoops to change the dock background.

5. Don't try to flash a theme that was designed for a different phone. When you theme a ROM, you theme the framework, which is tightly bound to the rest of the software. Changing the Captivates framework to the Evo framework for example would cause problems, as the Evo frameworks calls for different values in different places. The code isn't necessarily different, but the layout and string values will be different too.

All in all, this phone is pretty unbrickable. Get used to making backups and flashing back from a bad flash, and before you apply a theme, make sure you back up whatever files this theme calls for you to replace! Most of the time, even with a theme that doesn't work(assuming it's for the captivate), you'll still retain basic functions. Backup is key!

Enjoy the new toy! :D
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bugmenever:
Thanks so much for answering :]

2. Where can I find Captivate frameworks? I always see different amazing looking themes, but no frameworks specifically for Captivate.

4. Learned that the hard way. Scared myself two days after getting it by trying to flash a theme for the G1 and had to wait half an hour to flash back to stock ROM, so I've started to backup more now.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] geokhentix:
You can find them on this board. A theme almost always changes the framework, which can point to a couple files. These aren't all of the files in theming, but generally, these 2 are almost always changed.

/system/framework/framework-res.apk

/system/framework/twframework-res.apk

Themes usually come as a .zip file, which is intended for you to flash with CWM(ClockworkMod Recovery). Cognition comes with ROM Manager I believe, if it doesn't, DL it off the market. Open it, click Flash ClockworkMod, select Captivate, then you can reboot into recovery and flash themed updates.

Put the themed .zip on your SD card

1. Open ROM Manager, and Flash it, selecting Captivate.

2. Select Reboot into Recovery. (On the first attempt, you might have to click "Reinstall Packages" when it boots into recovery, to get you into CWM for the first time.)

3. Once inside CWM, Install ROM from SD Card > Choose ROM from SD card > theme.zip

It's pretty hard to brick this phone, so don't be afraid to experiment a bit. Generally, most captivate themes are available here in teh Apps & Themes board, but make sure you read the thread to see if there's any information about it being compatible with your current ROM or not.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bugmenever:
That's awesome!

Is there anything I would really need to get started up with this phone? I used to have an iPhone and I'm used to their framework, so... :]

Hoping to become a master at this.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] geokhentix:
I would say ROM Manager, Root Explorer, Titanium Backup, and NinjaMorph are all musts. I would say update to one of the newer roms too; like Perception. The newer kernels are much faster. If you're into customizations, it's worth modifying the rom before you install it (please note however, to always keep a stock unmodified copy of the rom you're modifying, incase it doesn't work).

It's pretty easy. Open the Rom's .zip(like perception, etc etc) in 7z or WinRAR

Apps go in /system/app if you want them to be system-installed (can't remove them, samsung/atnt bloatware is installed in the /system/app for example..well was)

OR the /data/app , which is pre-installed but on a user level, uninstallable like any app downloaded from the market.

Anything theme related goes in /system/framework

Kernels/Modems/etc go in the /updates folder

drag, drop, replace. No need to uncompress and recompress. Whatever you download, assuming it's not an odin flashable, will generally be in the same file system as the rom you're modifying, so it's easy to swap them out. This way themes install with the rom, please note however that if you do install a theme in such a way, features like the all-boot menu (Reboot/recovery/download on power menu), or any extra animations or unlock screens may not work; unless the theme you're building in has them too!
