ubuntu has to be booted from winmo not from android and when using nand builds you have no winmo so you would not be able to boot ubuntu in the why you would with winmo it would have to be able be opened from inside android
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tRIACTIs:
no, that's not correct! MAGLDR provides you also the possibility of booting from SD card after some adjustments (so not yet possible with ubuntu). dcordes already reported that he will try to boot ubuntu directly from MAGLDR and also post instructions for 0.3 conversion if it will be trivial ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] phoenixtraveller:
Depends on your nand partition layout etc also - ie: daf? clockworked? etc?

I used sd card with initrd.cpio.gz renamed initrd.gz and same for adb_zimage to zImage. cant get that to stick though so tried with zimage/initrd from the DFT-Android-BOOT.IMG(unyaffs'd) and thus far can get to UBUNTU MOUSE/KEYBOARD then blank/frozen. Some ppl have it working with keyboard I think... We need someone to cut it down and mount/merge rootfs.ext2 into boot.img+system.img (with fixed zImage+initrd.gz) and/or a clocked update.zip for clockwork.

It works though: try it: even just putting zimage and initrd (renamed of course) in root will get verobone 'nix output...

Anyone here can make boot.img+system.img+yaffs-the-ext2. ? or update.zip

or even JUST CORRECT INITRD.GZ+zIMAGE properly?

Would be happy with ANYTHING: even to just TYPE! at a shell@ Linux on HD2.

Thanks.

I'm having serious problems trying to root this phone. To start I wanted to use the rage method but I couldn't get HTC sync to work with my phone and windows 7 and adb to work. So I then used black prince method off of you tube using visionary r14. I did everything he said. When I press volume down and power I see it says s-off but when I type SU into the terminal it says permissions denied. I even see the superuser app on my phone. I then did some searching and people who have the same problem and they said to do temp root then go to the terminal and type /data/local/tmp/root then sync it again. Still no luck. Any ideas?

My next concern is I have been trying to boot into clockwork recovery with no luck. I have re flashed and flashed the current version's of recovery to many times to remember and did fix permissions. I can not boot into recovery. Any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
What version of ROM is it that you are trying to root ? The latest 1.72 Desire Z ROM cannot currently be rooted.

You need S-OFF to flash a custom recovery. Are you saying you are trying to boot into stock recovery ? If so, when you see the screen with the red triangle/exclamation mark, hold Volume Up and press Power, and it should go into stock recovery.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wayde187:
Your phone isn't fully s off. You need to delete visonary completely off your phone. (Probably have to wipe). Then download pdanet app. And when you plug usb in your computer that should fix the driver problem. Then run rage. Don't do the lock in root command, then follow gfree tutorial, then try lock in root command. If it gives you an error, let me know which error and we can work around it. Pm me when you run into trouble.

I'm a big fan of the gingerbread keyboard, but there are somethings that could use a little polish. I've tried many many keyboards but for some reason this one sticks with me the most.

I'm wondering how much work it would be to edit the keyboard, edit some of the buttons (for instance, turn the settings key into an apostrophe key) and some other things such as make more punctuation snap to the end of the last word.

This is more of side project, I've been making a list of changes I'd like to make. Anyone have anything to say/ contribute?
[Android Software Development] ljbaumer:
yeah I really like this keyboard. How about making it not be tiny on the DROID2. There is some LCD density problem with it.
[Android Software Development] Jonathon Grigg:
I'm not sure how much work it would be, but I imagine if it's a side project, you could find the APK for the keyboard floating around on the forums here, and open it up and see if anything obvious can be changed.

Also, almost any problem anyone has had has been coverd and reading and becoming familiar with the tools to solve the issues is key.

Wow I have had three of these DVP's Now and I cant believe how bad dell mobility is. First one DOA out of the Box 16 GB second one 8GB crashed after 3 days which led to DOA device 3rd One 16GB and I finally figured out that this phone was not ready for prime time I really like the OS but the Dell wifi bug was what was killing them on the last one I could crash the DVP almost on command, requiring a Battery Pull.

1. Connect top wifi

2. Start Either Market Place or Web Browser or Heck anything that needed A data connection

3. Wait 5 to 40 Seconds

Voila Cccccccccrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhh

I hope they can get these bugs fixed it would be awesome if it worked,

BTW the DVP DOA problem I am describing is this the DVP turns on but shows no storage what so ever only 225 MB of RAM so every time You restart the phone its like doing a hard reset.:mad:
[Venue Pro General] huhuh:
I just got my first one in today, and right out of the box the device freezes up with wifi on.
[Venue Pro General] Picasosz:
I have to say I have been watching and notating when the phone goes all the way to GPRS and is on a wireless N network crashes at the drop of a hat when the phone is plugged in it is more prone to crashing changed all routers and AP's to BG Mixed and dropped crashes by 50% still experimenting:confused:
[Venue Pro General] alodar1:
I concur with this. Switched to by and the lagging dropped. I've not had many crashes, in fact I've had only 1 crash, in marketplace. During the day I am not on WiFi and have no lagging. However, the marketplace crash occurred while not on WiFi.
[Venue Pro General] Kloc:
I am also on my 3rd device, but it wasn't because of crashes. I'm still just dealing with those but I can say all 3 have crashed on me multiple times. I think I'm staying with this one now it doesn't have any of the other problems I've had so I'll just have to deal with the crashes. Maybe take of wifi although I use it a lot at my house in the basement where my signal sucks.
[Venue Pro General] raremage:
Same sort of problems with any WiFi connections. For whatever reason, tehir handling of Wifi connectivity just flatout sucks. I have a Focus as well and don't have problems with WiFi so it certainly seems to be isolated to something Dell has done.

I've just left WiFi off for now and the phone has basically been rock solid. I haven't added a glut of apps to be honest, but the "basic" ones I have are Adobe, Amazon Kindle, Beezz, eBay, facebook, Shazam and SimpiRSS. I get a little laggy sometimes in Beezz and eBay, but those seem to be related to the way the apps are handling local data vs online "live" data to me.

An annoyance? yes, definitely, but one I believe can be corrected with a firmware update. I should say "one I hope can be corrected with a firmware update."

Here's what a 1 meter drop did to my phone.
[Venue Pro General] Arcarsenal:
That hurts to see, sorry that happened to you. This is the downside to aluminosilicate glass, the material from which Gorilla Glass is made. It is very scratch resistant and very hard - which also increases the tension of the glass within its frame. Impacts with hard surfaces will almost always shatter the glass like that - it's a compromise for the hardended antiscratch surface.
[Venue Pro General] pessimistic observer:
not scratch proof but scratch resistent

found this in a thread about removing scratches from gorilla glass

also dropped my phone in a subway station and it got about 7 small light scratches on the screen now f.o.f
[Venue Pro General] pessimistic observer:
dell venue same issue?

heres a quote from engadgets review of the dell venue which has the same glass as the venue pro

"Going back to the glass: despite our careful handling and short ownership so far, our Venue's screen has somehow managed to accumulate a couple of light scratches. It sure was a surprise given the Gorilla Glass' impressive performance in our previous torture test -- perhaps our travel through the different climates of Hong Kong, Las Vegas and London made the material more vulnerable. We've written to Corning to see whether this is a possibility, so watch this space for an update.

"

so unless i'm horrible with logic this appears to be more than enough proof for all those gorilla glass is indestructable proclaimers that i've seen in other threads about gorilla glass.

I tried using visionary+ 14 to do temproot and permroot and it still doesn't work. So i tried the Gfree method, started all over

everything works until this part

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:

You guys need to wipe visionary completely off the phone. And then if you still get denied when trying to lock in root pm me and I will see if I can help.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Regarding the ClockworkMod question, since you have the eng hboot then you can use fastboot to flash it if you want to. You can just download the recovery image (there is a thread on Clockwork) and flash it.

It sounds to me like Visionary might have messed up your phone, this a common hazard of Visionary. You could try a factory reset if you don't mind losing any data, and try again. Or flash the stock ROM again and go through the procedure again.

Or try flashing Clockwork and mounting everything you can in the Clockwork options, sometimes this seems to sort things out.

I tried running rom manager but it fails. Even with temp root it says I don't have the necessary permissions.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wingzfly:
Finally got it worked out late last night. Turns out that I had put a copy of the su file on the card while it was mounted to my computer, before I mounted it on the phone, prior to following the root steps. I guess this somehow messed with adb pushing it correctly.

So if that is happening to you, clear out the unnecessary files first and only move the necessary files to the card via adb.

After that, it worked like a charm. I am now perma-rooted. :)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Lacerta 1973:
Hi Steven,

May I ask if this release is different from the 6.5 version ( @ 8-30-10 ) except for the international language capability?

I see that this is a somewhat earlier build. Has it any particular reason?

Thanx!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
The build for this one is older than the one on August 30. The reason that it is an earlier build is because the WM6.5 emulator images were the closest (and easiest) sources that I had available to get the updated os files from. This is also my first experience with making non-English WM6.5 roms (the process for making WM6.5 roms is similar to making WM6.1 roms, but there are a few different steps). The plan is to build up from the beginning just as I had done with the English WM6.5 roms (except for the international roms, I'll get there a little faster). Another reason to start low is because of availability of language files. The non-English language files aren't exactly provided with the updated os file sources anymore (unless you dump an updated stock rom from another device with the updated os and language files).
