How can I access my STK SIM tool Kist (SIM card - operator 's Menu)? is this X2 don't have or I miss...?
[XPERIA X2 General] Rempit:
Contradict to mine. Sim tool kit menu keep appearing. the icon is ugly, everytime I delete it, after reboot, it reappear. so now I change the icon. btw, the menu is empty. only blank screen appear. I guess my provider didn't provide any sim tool kit service.

so not to make my answer off topic, the answer is, it should appear by default. I notice it when I upgrade to MR2. I only used MR1 for like 2 hrs. I cant assure wether it appears in MR1
[XPERIA X2 General] JeromeJacques19:
I don't mean SIM TKUI which is coming from Windows but there should be other operator menu (I know that it shows up in my first phone X1). I'm using X2 as my secondary phone with the different provider which support that STK too (I see it in my friend's nokia).

[Off-topic] altae:
Just a thought: Are you sure a us HD2 suits your needs? Very often us phones support other bands than european phones do. The networks in the us use different frequencies than the european carriers. I must say I do not really know whether there are any differencies between us and european HD2s but I would clarify this before buying something.

Are there any themes that work with this rom?

Every thing I've tried just results in an endless boot loop.

All help appreciated!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im0rtalz:

[Wildfire General] alphachung:
I rooted my wildfire with unrevoked3 and flashed cm6.1 stable with cwm recovery.

But when I install some applications which need FULL ROOT, i found that there's no FULL ROOT access.

Therefore, I wanna ask, do CM6.1 stable have FULL ROOT access? If not, how can I get a FULL ROOT access? If yes, why my wildfire will have this error? :confused:
[Wildfire General] Michealtbh:
Wildfire doesnt have S-off yet, but the Alpharev guys are working on it
[Desire HD General] andreasy:
First of all, I am not new with custom roms but I am new to Android which is totally different from what I used to know with WM.

Now, I wanted to avoid rooting my phone and modifying in any way that would alter it's factory functionality. The main reason is the unexpected behaviour with new updates and apps. However, I noticed that I cannot buy applications that I need and that would make my phone useless so, I realised that at least rooting is a must. Since I haven't done it before, I have a few concerns so please help me in the following concerns:

1) Can I just root my phone without altering anything else (without using custom rom) so that I can use some apps which need root access and use market to purchase apps?

2) After installing tha latest update, is it still possible to root?

3) Can I root on demand? i.e enable it when I need to use market and then disable it in order to return to normal funcionality?

4) Are there any real consequenses of rooting? major problems?

5) Is it permanent? can I totally remove it if I need to return my phone for waranty claim?

6) I guess I won't lose any data, right?

After the latest update, is it still
[Desire HD General] PG101:
YES

I think the 1.72 is not rootable yet, but ofcourse, if you install it via a custom ROM, i think you will be fine

I think the closest is a temproot.. you lose it everytime you re-boot

Its like having your WinMo HSLPed... warranty, etc...

Yes you can, flash the Stock and S-ON

AFAIK, you dont lose any data..

Hope this helps :)
[Galaxy Tab General] nacron:
Anyone else missing calendar entries on their tab? I have a t-mobile tab and the calendar app sync'd all my calendars the first time but subsequent syncs causes all the entries in one of my gmail calendars to disappear. Anyone know where there may be a sync log of some kind? The same calendar syncs on my vibrant and shows entries.
[Galaxy Tab General] nacron:
Strange thing, I tried making a new entry in that calendar and it syncs and shows up on my phone but entries made on that calendar on other devices do not show up
[XPERIA X8 General] XperianPro:
How many times you have bricked your phone and how?
[XPERIA X8 General] bnight:
I have bricked my phone: 0 times
[XPERIA X8 General] fatexo:
Zer0......
[XPERIA X8 General] hugerth:
Few words about 'bricking'...
[Desire Android Development] moebius83:
Technical explanation

The provided boot.img are the original HTC provided boot.img with the init.rc script modified to stop the init process until the cm.filesystem.ready property is set to 1:

start sysinit

on property:cm.filesystem.ready=1
class_start default

where the sysinit service is the service in charge of starting all the scripts inside /etc/init.d:

# Execute files in /etc/init.d before booting
service sysinit /system/bin/logwrapper /system/xbin/busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d
disabled
oneshot

and the last of this script, 99completed, only sets that property to 1 so the normal system boot can continue:

#!/system/bin/sh

sync;
setprop cm.filesystem.ready 1;

of course changing init.rc is only possible by flashing a new boot.img with init.rc modified inside the ramdisk because that file, even if you can see it under / will be overwritten at every boot.

Another small modification of the new boot.img is the default.prop, in which rc.secure is set to 0 allowing to gain direct access through "adb shell"
[Desire Android Development] Puenos:
Sounds great :D

Thx for your work!

So if I get that right, it's the same as if we'd flash teppic74 ROM, and nandrestoring everything except system & boot?

Just our stock ROM with init.d support?

Does that also mean we could flash the optional mods from teppic74 thread like a2sd? :)

Ty again!
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Well you could but effectively all you need is an apps2sd+ script and you can adb push it to the correct location. /system/etc/init.d
[Desire Android Development] Puenos:
Really? I would have tried flashing either a2sd provided in teppic74's thread or even a2sd script by DT? last I would have compared to firerat's script. But if all you need to do is pushing via adb.. Is there a script out for a2sd especially for stock/sense? (like kali advised using firerat with CM?)

Thank you :)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Not sure to be honest, I haven't used sense for a long time. But assume if the one teppic uses on his, works - it should work for you too.
[Desire Android Development] Puenos:
I'm just using Sense because of it's Mail-widget, haha :)

But I guess I'll just give it a try then, will report back, when I've managed so set everything up without having my phone exploding, hehe

But thank you very much :)
[Desire Android Development] moebius83:
exactly this boot.img will just enable init.d support, no need to flash a new system.img but you just need to create the init.d directory and put the 99complete script, after that you can install any mod you like, also the ones provided in teppic74's thread.

You can also try data2whatever by melethron (that's what I'm using), just make sure you have busybox correctly installed.

hope you enjoy it and happy new year!
[Desire Android Development] r3vb07inf:
well I hv software number 2.11.832.3 so what I hv to do...?
[Desire Android Development] moebius83:
unfortunately I don't have a boot.img for that software number, you'll need to manually extract your boot.img, modify a file (init.rc) and reflash it, if you don't know how to do it I can try to do it for you but I'll need a download link for your original firmware version
[Desire Android Development] worstenbrood:
You could make a universal (froyo) update zip using Koush's AnyKernel installer, then you're able to update the ramdisk only and add the init.d folder/script. Thats how i did it for CM7.
[Desire Android Development] moebius83:
interesting, an update script that can extract the boot.img, unpack, change files, repack it and reflash it...is it safe? I may think about building an update.zip this way but I'm pretty scared by how safe it can be to automatically mess with a boot.img..

EDIT: one problem of this is that the init.rc needs to be extracted and modified, but it may be different from one firmware and another
[Desire Android Development] worstenbrood:
Should be the same between all froyo rom's. Check this update zip, it's for gingerbread tho, you have to replace the ramdisk-new.gz with a froyo one (with edited init.rc offcourse). It also contains /system/etc/init.d/99complete.

Edit: Don't be scared, everyone who releases custom kernels uses this method. The other way around then, keep the original ramdisk and merge it with the new kernel.
[Desire Android Development] docnasef:
Hello there

Really appreciate all your efforts

Kindaa feeling real dumb in comparison! lol

Anyways

My Desire specs :

2.2

2.32.415.3

Baseband 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27

Now this has built in arabic enabled support and that is the main reason I would like to keep it

Am yet to run into a custom ROM that would provide that without having to downgrade my version

Also, had a lotta fun trying to root, just couldn't root, up untill a few days back when unrevoked came out with thier new 3.3 version

I noticed you had only two software versions from which to start...

So what about my case? could you please help this newbie along?!!
[Desire Android Development] mumu_li:
Same thing happens to me. My spec:

2.2

2.13.707.1

32.44.00.32U

Can you help as well? Or where or how (from RUU) can I find the ramdisk-new.gz as worstenbrood's mention.
[Desire Android Development] mumu_li:
Thanks "worstenbrood" then I can extract boot.img from stock rom. Based on the guide, I made a new boot.img. But with this new boot.img, the phone hangs at the first screen(waiting at least for 15 mins). I don't know why. I also did as worstenbrood suggest and the system boot loopless.

Can somebody help?

I attached my boot.img (original and modified) for your information.
[Desire Android Development] moebius83:
did you create the /system/etc/init.d directory and the 99complete file with the correct permissions? as noted on the OP this is needed because that file will tell the boot process to continue, otherwise you'll be stuck at the boot screen

EDIT: also, do you have busybox installed under /system/xbin?
[Desire Android Development] docnasef:
@ moebius83

If you could help, I would really appreciate it...

Please take into consideration That I am more or less android dumb! :)

I attached the url for my original RUU if that helps?

http://www.mediafire.com/?ih3lbbm7yfag7d2

Would REALLY appreciate your help.

Thanks m8!
[Desire Android Development] worstenbrood:
i created a update.zip which replaces the ramdisk only and add /system/etc/init.d/99complete. It should work for every froyo release.
[Desire Android Development] moebius83:
great job, I was just going to make the same update.zip, you were faster, I'll link it on the OP, thanks again!
[Desire Android Development] docnasef:
:confused:

ummmmmm

sorry but could you kinda walk me thro this please?

is that in linux, I have a slax linux liveCD...

would that work?

Really sorry ..

but as you can already tell, This is one huuuge newbie! :D
[Desire Android Development] worstenbrood:
uhm no, flash it via recovery (custom that is like cwm/rommanager or amonra)
[Desire Android Development] docnasef:
ok thanks for your help

So I run the zip file thro cmw in recovery ..

then how do I "add /system/etc/init.d/99complete"??

hope you don't loose patience with me!!
[Desire Android Development] worstenbrood:
the zip file will add it automatically :)
[Desire Android Development] docnasef:
Really appreciate all your help so far...

Added the zip file to my root sd card

flashed thro cwm recovery gave me success message

HOWEVER on rebooting got stuck with the white screen with green HTC Logo?!:(

Pulled battery out after 20 mins tried normal power button reboot no such luck..

went back to nandroid back up....

any help?

is there a "file editor" where I can edit/add manually the directories I need which you may suggest?

thanks for everything!
[Desire Android Development] worstenbrood:
one other thing you need is busybox in /system/xbin ...

Try this, it also includes busybox :
[Desire Android Development] docnasef:
I just now checked that using android mate

Do not have it

my /system/xbin

only has crasher and wireless_modem

how do i get it?

although I do have titanium backup free installed and it tells me I have busybox 1.16.0 from app installed?

oops!!!!!!!!

you hadn'tyet uploaded just saw that now will try and get back

really REALLY appreciate you bearing with me so!
[Desire Android Development] worstenbrood:
titianium stores busybox somewhere in /data/... prolly, since it doesnt have write access in /system. Try the zip from my previous post, it has busybox included ...
[Desire Android Development] docnasef:
Worked like a charm!

Thanks m8!

I checked the file system, all looks ok.

Have the xbin and 99 and init.d

so guess all is well...

but you ain"t gonna get rid of me that easy!!!!!!!!!!! lol :D

so now I have 50 MB on internal memory available,...

How do I used appSD+ to increase that space/ move apps to SD card

and make sure installed apps from now on get installed on to the sd card???

I have partitioned my sd card and have 512 MB ext2

thank a million

will try and promise that will be my last q!!
[Desire Android Development] worstenbrood:
Easiest way for you would be to flash dtapps2sd.

If you also want dalvik cache to sd-ext, after flashing dtapps2sd, boot into android, open terminal/or adb shell and do:

su

a2sd cachesd

Your device will reboot and after that you will have your apps and your dalvik-cache moved to your sdext partition, saving you alot of space :)

First boot (and second one if you enable dalvik-cache to sdext) can take a bit longer since it is moving apps (or rebuilding dalvik-cache)
[Desire Android Development] docnasef:
At the risk of really making you loose your patience, and just to make sure:

I flash the dtapps2sd zip file in cwm recovery,then reboot

but what is this "boot into android ?? do you mean reboot into normal homescreen???

, open terminal/or adb shell ?? ?HOW???

and do:

su

a2sd cachesd" ??????????? ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA ON THAT ONE !! :))
[Desire Android Development] worstenbrood:
flash the zip in recovery yeah then :

well, download jackpal terminal emulator from the market, start it, type su in the terminal screen, Allow Superuser rights, then type a2sd cachesd in the terminal screen, phone will reboot en rebuild dalvik-cache, once back in android, check your freespace
[Desire Android Development] docnasef:
i can not thank you enough!!!!!!:d
[Desire Android Development] docnasef:
@ worstenbrood

Now I feel totally humiliated!!

I performed app2sd darktremor

rebooted

used terminal emulator as advised it launced darktremor

then gave me error message "EXT partition not mounted"????

Inspite of the following that before that and also right now:

1: Titanium back up shows three lines at bottom last of which is

SD card (a2sd): 262 MB (14.4 MB free)

2: Quick system info shows:

A2SD

Total: 4.03 MB, Free: 3.75 MB

3: Andoid mate shows:

???? file location named ext-sd in /ext-sd (empty)

N.B.

I performed Partitioning using ROM Manager previously with 512 MB

swap=0

When I try redoing the partitioning now it gives me a black screen with exclamation mark in a triangle.

Also tried using gparted liveCD (though I have Win 7 x64 system)

could not use my keyboard and the SD card was not even showing in gparted (only my system drives?) is that because not x86??

As usual I am lost?!!

My only consolation is that maybe all this might help some one else along thier way

Though in all fairness I guess they won't be as android illiterate as I am!!!

Waiting for your help ol buddy!
[Desire Android Development] worstenbrood:
restore your nandroid backup, i'm creating a zip which has a better a2sd implementation, i'll post it soon !
[Desire Android Development] worstenbrood:
Ok,

I implemented cyanogenmod's (actually fireat) binaries/libs/scripts into the zip, try flashing this on a clean rom (no dtapps2sd or whatsoever), i didnt test it, so you're ma testing rabbit :)

Edit: updating the zip, hold on :)
[Desire Android Development] docnasef:
Ok your testing rabbit informing you that he will do it tonight after work!!

If I brick ma phone you'll help ofcourse LOL
[Desire Android Development] worstenbrood:
Overview:

update-froyo-init.d-signed.zip

- Adds run-parts to init.rc

- Adds /system/etc/init.d/99complete

update-froyo-init.d-busybox-signed

- Adds run-parts to init.rc

- Adds /system/etc/init.d/99complete

- Adds /system/xbin/busybox + symlinks
[Desire Android Development] docnasef:
Ok

Experimental rabbit reporting here

Completely restored system

wiped all data

ran pb99img of my original ruu

rooted

performed nandroid

and imediately ran update-froyo-init.d-busybox-a2sd+-signed

zip file in recovery

?? lost market

couldnt download terminal emulator to check...

sorry but this is one disappointed rabbit!!

Keep trying though!!
[Desire Android Development] worstenbrood:
I

I'll look into it tommorow, would be handy if you gave me the output of mount (in adb shell).

Edit: Ok, added the old a2sd+, if this doesnt work, i suspect that the standard htc kernel doesnt support your ext partition.

Again, on a clean nandroid/install, only rooted.
[Desire Android Development] docnasef:
ok testing rabbit reporting once more :cool:

I guess myself and ROM manager owe you an apology?!

You see I THOUGHT I had sd -ext created by ROM manager as it told me

from previous posts : "gave me error message "EXT partition not mounted"????

Inspite of the following that before that and also right now:

1: Titanium back up shows three lines at bottom last of which is

SD card (a2sd): 262 MB (14.4 MB free)

2: Quick system info shows:

A2SD

Total: 4.03 MB, Free: 3.75 MB

3: Andoid mate shows:

???? file location named ext-sd in /ext-sd (empty)"

Now I had previously been unable to use gparted liveCD (My shortcoming)

from previous posts: "Also tried using gparted liveCD (though I have Win 7 x64 system)

could not use my keyboard and the SD card was not even showing in gparted (only my system drives?) is that because not x86??"

I FOUND OUT THAT THe SD EXT WAS NOT CREATED "Correctly"

So in the process of my "recleaning" I was able finally to use Gparted and created

a 512 MB SD-EXT 3

Now AFTER that I tried using your previous post and reported it failed

from previous posts: "Completely restored system

Iwiped all data

ran pb99img of my original ruu

rooted

performed nandroid

and imediately ran update-froyo-init.d-busybox-a2sd+-signed

zip file in recovery

?? lost market"

ALSO my Mistake, because I had NOT installed or flashed dtapps2sd

"Easiest way for you would be to flash dtapps2sd."

So what I actually did was run update-froyo-init.d-busybox

WITHOUT previously installing "dtapps2sd"

as for my take about the market issue was that it had updated immediately after my initial reboot and I had not rebooted again.

Anyway

FINALLY:

Nandroid install

Reboot

dtapps2sd flashing

Reboot (had 95 MB free space on phone at that time)

Flashed your LATEST update-froyo-init.d-busybox-a2sd+-signed

Rebooted

Got 105 MB free on phone

Now most of my applications when viewing them in Settings/ applications/ manage applications have 0.00B infront of them

while on the "on SD CARD" ie when viewing from : settings/ applications/ manage applications / on Sd Card

I have no Apps installed.

So As I said earlier perhaps an apology was in order, my shortcoming as I explained!!

Perhaps your other / earlier zip files would have worked also?

Sorry for taking up so much space , just need to explain as much as I could

JUST WANTED TO UPDATE YOU, ENLIGHTEN OTHERS AND SAY THANKS!!

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] perangbintang:
hi worstenbrood...

please correct me if i'm wrong, but i take that it's better to install the update-froyo-init.d-busybox-signed from post #38 above (cyanogen's/firerat's method) than the one below it (old app2sd+, post #40) or the first one on post #26 ?

can you enlighten me of the difference between them? and if i want to apply a2sd+, i still need to install darktremor's dtapps2sd after that, right?

also...after applying this init.d and app2sd+ to my stock rooted rom (my version is exactly the same with docnasef's rom), do you think it's save for me to use powersaving modpack 1.6 and sd readahead mod from teppic's stock froyo optional mods?

hi again docnasef....it seems like we're destined to jump in this together afterall eh? :) (or should have said that i always jump after you :))

so everything's ok now with your mods? app2sd+ and market are ok?
[Desire Android Development] worstenbrood:
If you flash the one from #40, you dont need dtapps2sd anymore. It's ok to flash a kernel afterwards, if they use Koush AnyKernel installer they will not touch the ramdisk, only the zImage.
[Desire Android Development] docnasef:
@ worstenbrood

So if I understand correctly

a clean nandroid

and then from recovery just flash ONLY the zip from post 40

ok so after that,

how do I actually move the already installedapps?

and upon each further installation of any other apps do they automatically get installed in the sd?

Thanks for everything REALLY!

@ perangbintang

Nice to bump into you again

yeah all ok,

stock rooted rom

with only this zip file

can't see any Cooked ones that support arabic adequately enough

thinking exactly along the same lines of instaling

powersaving modpack 1.6 and sd readahead mod from teppic's stock froyo optional mods ,

but thought that they were not for our ruu versions? isnt that correct???

hope someone brings out a cooked rooted ROM for our arabic version, with various other goodies you could optionally add!!!

I guess we are not that many!!
[Desire Android Development] worstenbrood:
Yes, only flashing the zip from #40 should do the job, apps already installed on the phone's internal memory will be automatically moved, if you have apps installed via Froyo A2SD, just move the app back to phone memory, it will be moved to your sd-ext partition, since /data/app will be linked to /sd-ext/app.

Try flashing coutts99 or Benee's Sense kernel, they have all those mod's you mentioned and more, they should work on your device since it are Sense kernels.
