Is it worth returning the shift within the 30 day window ? In your opinion ?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] mcarrion78:
Alright some progress has been made. good job to all who have been working on this. Uve given me reason to smile again lol

Not even close. Like I said, I have no clue why this phone would be practical at all, unless you really need two screens on a flip phone ..... I mean, not really ;) :D
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BrandoKC:
Practical?

I've officially bowed out of the Evo Shift family. Going back to the Evo. I just can't take the lack of development due to the difficulties it seems the newer HTCs will have. I was over at the Evo development page and was noticing the new MIUI, CM7, and other gingerbread roms and was licking my chops. It really is a shame though. I thought this phone was definitely one that would come in under the radar and wow everyone within Sprint's empire, but almost 1 month in and still no root = Samsung Epic # 2 = path to failure. I seriously hope that this thing gets rooted soon because I will be keeping an eye on it from abroad and hopefully have something regarding the Evo Shift to lick my chops to when I'm back with the Evo.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] yokken:
that's funny because permanent root was just achieved
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] ahager88:
Took the words right out of my mouth.

In regards to your signature, I love it! (Don't wanna get off-topic.)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] yokken:
bill hicks. :)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] riggsandroid:
Lol its been rooted as of today....

Sorry to see you jump ship (not really )
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Nmott93:
A lot of people were probably hesitant to switch to the Shift because they felt like they'd hate the downgrade in screen size, or for some other reason. This means the Shift population isn't as high right now was say, the EVOs was when it first launched so its taking a bit longer then you may be accustomed to. Ironically, we should be getting per root tonight.

:D I am thrilled. Supposed to be in bed early to catch a 5.am flight back home to NY..but I may have to hang around the interwebs. Really glad this is coming out right before the weekend, now I have a weekend project.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] hammondnav:
Any sources for perma-root news?

Also, it's amazing how impatient people are as if root is their God-given right. It hasn't even been three weeks since release yet! If you can't wait at least a month for root just buy an already-rooted phone or a Nexus One/S.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] yokken:
no use talking about impatience anymore when root is here.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] stealthfx:
Yeah, I am curios, is there any info pertaining to root? Meaning who\which team did it etc?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Igotsanevo4g:
Have fun y'all :p
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] stealthfx:
Oh you tease....
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] dbpaddler:
So I just activated my Shift and put my Epic on the spare line. I'm heading to Miami tomorrow and my Overdrive is fried. Is it worth doing the temporary root to use wireless tether or do you think the permanent rooting info will be up soon?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] cosine83:
Thanks for re-posting my image.

Perma-root is a go. Removed all bloatware apps and rebooted and they're gone. Next step is radio S-OFF so that hboot upgrades won't take the S-OFF away.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
It should probably be up soon :)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] stealthfx:
It's like christmas, in January. :D
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] bcnice20:
Guys once again yes full root has been achieved I tweaked around some original scripts i came across and managed to get an eng hboot to properly flash I won't b home till like 10 but yes htc ridiculous write protection is now permentantly unlocked :-p
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] foxsdaddy67:

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] cosine83:
Yes, I do. You posting my image makes it look like you're taking credit and/or got early access to the root method, which you did not. I was, thankfully, around at the right time and happen to have a Shift and an SSH server running for the devs to hook into my phone and hack around in it. Bcnice20 did his first and then joshua_ did mine to verify the find. I came here and posted the images I did to stymie the lull of the dev forum and encourage people. Cookie please!

haha dual monitors and a 17 inch laptop, i gots enough to keep me entertained :-D
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Vipermuscle83:
My other worry is if it took this long for permaroot, how long will it take to port over the more complicated roms such as cm7, miui, and other aosp roms...lets not even mention getting wimax on those roms. Please don't misunderstand me. I'm taking nothing away from the devs, their work is always greatly appreciated and admired. My beef is with the new htc writes making life more difficult on these devs and keeping us salivating for weeks beyond what it should take if not for htc trying to be pricks about development! So even though permaroot is finally here, I still gotta stick with the evo for two reasons:

1. I already bought it :D

2. The development reached by the evo is lightyears ahead right now just cause it's been out so long and I don't feel like waiting since the motorola atrix is just around the corner and that will absolutely be my next phone...so may as well have as much fun as possible with the evo while it lasts! Atrix rumored out for att later next month :P
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] foxsdaddy67:
doesnt matter how long it takes? arent you supposed to be at the evo board?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BuddahWolf01:
I could be wrong, but wasn't perm root the hard part? I think once s-off is going development will be much like any other phone.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] oboroninja:
Since you like throwing around MiUi and CM7 so much you do realize that both Lithid(one of the main devs working on the Evo CM7 port) and Bnice(the main dev who worked on the Evo port of MIUI) are both supporting development on the Shift right? Oh wait you don't know that because you're too busy *****ing about progress on root. Try doing some rooting, or rom cooking yourself. You contribute nothing, and no one here cares about the Atrix. Have fun waiting on root for that smart guy, because ill tell you that Motorola android devices are twice as hard to root, the Milestone and Droid X guys can attest to that...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] foxsdaddy67:
yeah as a matter of fact they turned to boinc to try and break the encryption i think :eek:
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] tatonka_hero:
looks like I'll hopefully have something to do at work tomorrow...because I sure as heck don't trust my POS laptop to stay running while rooting. It'd be guaranteed to blue screen halfway through the process and brick my phone or something.

I'll sure as heck be glad to have all the sprint crap off, and wireless tether working again so I can get on those sites on my ipad that are blocked at work (bastards lol)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Compusmurf:

Once I am perm rooted can I delete super user and visionary? Sorry I am new to this but did my research and everything went smoothly with the rooting, I am just unsure whether or not I need these two apps now that it is perm rooted.

Thanks
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] falz:
Leave Superuser on since it grants rights to apps that request superuser access. You can delete Visionary if you'd like but I see no benefit of doing so. It's not running, just taking up a little bit of disk space.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] cloverdale:
You can delete visionary, but cannot delete super user.

I have zero experience working with advanced coming from the moment and I used connectbot to perm root my phone, just triple check everything you type and you won't have any problems.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] chugger93:
Sooo..I'm gonna perm root, but first need to temp root. I've got visionary already downloaded and ready to install it. What options do I set specifically in the app? Root on reboot? I'm using the guide here:

http://android.modaco.com/content/h...m/320722/19-nov-r14-visionary-one-click-root/

I want to finalize this temp so I can do the perm. Thanks fella's
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] DWake014:
Put the phone in airplane mode and hit temproot now, don't do temproot on boot, that always gave me issues. If it doesn't stick just try it again.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] fifedogg:
when it reboots during the root process you need to let the phone boot up and turn it off again. Upon reboot everything will be back to normal and try running z4root again and it should take.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] roadkill499:
so i tryed the temproot with z4root visinary and universal androot and my screen just goes black and i runs slow no su app or nothin guess ill have to wait for a prem click root lol i wonder if its because i got the 2.3.3 version?

What all will it take to get permanent root out there? I just got my wife a shift and I'm willing to tear it to pieces to help get root but I'm not a dev. If I can help though just tell me what I need to do.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] StAlphonso:
heres a good tip in case you didnt know...once temprooted (i like visionary+ it works well and you can enable it to temproot after reboot) download the terminal emulator...open it and type:

su

cd system/app

ls

this will list all the apks in the system/app folder...this will have all the sprint and htc bloatware you dont need....you can then email the whole window to yourself throught the menu (which I then copy and paste into an excel spreadsheet to sort to make it easier to view)....now go into the terminal emulator again and go to the preferences....the last preference should be initial command....type (obviously without the asterisks)

su

cd system/app

rm *exact name of file [case sensitive]*.apk

rm *exact name of file [case sensitive]*.odex

do this for every apk you want to remove....remove both apk and odex.....if youre not sure what the apk is then dont remove it!...thats it now when you back out sense will restart and the bloatware will be gone....now if you have temproot enabled on reboot, everytime you restart visionary will automatically reroot the phone....now click the terminal emulator and it will automatically run the commands and when you back out sense will reload and the bloatware will be gone again....only takes an extra minute to fully load up the phone but should help a little more with battery life (less stuff to possibly open in the background) and saves internal memory...and besides how often do you even restart your phone? not a perfect soluton but helps until we get full root

Here's what I removed and everything seems pretty stable it feels a little snappier and autokiller shows more overall memory....if you know of any other apks that are safe to remove please post...and if anyone sees anything on this list I shouldn't have removed please let me know!...can't wait to get rid of sense this things gonna fly!

Wouldnt it just be easier to use RootExplorer to delete the APK's?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] riggsandroid:
Not sure how RootExplorer works, but he's making those commands the default commands when running Terminal Emulator. So all you do is click it, it runs through and done.

Can anyone point me to the correct Visionary+, I don't want to screw it up...

Thanks!
