I'm poking around the Droid2root.rar from the original rooting thread, that I presume everybody uses. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=764950

I'm trying to figure out what version of Superuser.apk and Busybox is being installed.

Droid2Root.rar contains (MD5):

busybox - CDCEF8277370C1C2CF9A974169D486DB

rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin - 860A3CD4CAD692D8628D8CC84EB07519

su - 419051B96D71AC8C26920CA7CBD6DD7D

Superuser.apk - C3CD9891B3003986AA10176A6BDC410B

The .bin payload has the same MD5 as RageAgainstTheCage.tgz (Source: http://www.mediafire.com/?c19hyh9d558qu78)

I'm interested in verifying the source of the other files. Superuser.apk does not match size/MD5 of most recent version: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=682828

Moved to general ;)
[Droid 2 General] miketoasty:
Easiest way to do it is take the most recent Superuser/Busybox update and copy and paste them into the Easy Root method on this forum. Then whenever you run the process you know the most up to date version is being installed instead of having to search.

And unless the file has been updated then no that is not the most recent version.

Hi anyone know the best program to root 2.2 please UK
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] pylorus:
Hi Everyone,

im wondering why in the most roms - the accuracy (resolution / depth) of MyLocation service quite low is. I mean - not in google maps (this works perfect), but in the Weather Application. The Weather application could detect only city 50km far away from my home town. But I have tried around 2 or 3 roms, where was the city detection outstanding! Not only my home town has been detected, but it could detect also very small villages while traveling... Unfortunately I was not satisfied with these ROMs and would like to modify my current ROM (TaKo 5.6).

Does anybody know, how to increase or set the depth / accuracy level of MyLocation service respectively the Weather app?

Of course, when I modify the weather database and add my hometown - it works. But I would like to let the phone to autodetect my location.

Any Ideas? Maby rewriting some manila file from the other roms?

Thx for help and sorry for long post :o
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] pylorus:
more info

I've been dooing some tests recently while I was for few days in Germany and myLocation was working perfect. I was able to detect even small villages and download weather. As soon as I returned home to Czech Republic I'm only able to detect nearest city 50km away... any ideas?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Solarenemy68:
It is not your phone. It is all based on if there is a location beacon brodcasting that are you are in. otherwise the phone will pick the closest it can find. Where I live it can pick up the one down the road at the school. But where I work it only list the county. It cannot find the city. Also i do believe you have to have your weather set to download when roaming to get locations other then your home.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] TOpazzz:
maybe it is also issue of your mobile operator - I tried one android ROM on orange sim card which detects even parts of town. And in my ROM with O2 i can only get that I am in Slovakia :D

Hello guys,

I rooted my fascinate and installed(?) DJ05.

Thanks!!
[Fascinate General] J Shed:
You'll need to restore all the bloat. From what I've read, the update system checks for all that crap to verify the phone before doing the update. Version shouldn't matter.

Okay so when I jumped into the Evo scene I was a bit overwhelmed and honestly never posted at all...I was kind of excited to be getting the Shift so soon so I could actually try and help development.

aosp is stock android, someone correct me if i'm wrong. but it's not a rom i don't think, like he said, just an overlay... whatever that means. i'm pretty new as well, only had my evo for 3 weeks.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
AOSP is Android Open Source Project. That means no sense, no tweaks, just plain android as it should be. Full AOSP roms are roms, they are just good old stock android :)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] bcnice20:
That just about explains it Bloat free super fast android at its best!!!!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Couldn't agree more :D AOSP is about 20x faster than sense, blur, or touchwiz
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] steven1022:
Ah okay, so this is just stripping everything down to the bare minimum stock version of android for people to build AOSP roms off of?

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] StAlphonso:
Sorry if this is the wrong thread to post this in but it is an AOSP question....If I were to go and rm all sense apks and rosie using visionary+ and terminal emulator would I end up with stock android or will I crash my phone? also would I have to push any apks for dialer and contacts and such or would removing sense apks revert back to stock for that too? cause even though we just have temproot right now I set it to enable on reboot and set the initial command in terminal emulator to go su and remove all apks i dont want so everytime I retsart essentially I can open terminal emulator then sense restarts and all the bloatware is gone again..it only takes a min longer....if I could get rid of sense this way too everytime I open the phone it would only take an extra min but Id have stock android til we get full root....guess i could probably try it seeing as a reboot should bring everything back but still a little too nervous i might really f it up lol
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
You would have senseless sense basically. Still sense framework. So no aosp stock android.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] StAlphonso:
So there's not even a way to push the stock apks and remove sense dialer and contacts and rosie and so forth?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] M@XLOL:
You can. I believe they need to be resigned though.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] herbthehammer:
I don't know how to do that but that sounds like you'd be opening a can of worms. I'm guessing the phone would have fits and crashes and such.

Also, what you are talking about is cyanogen.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] StAlphonso:
True....I guess I was wondering more if you could just remove sense and get aosp without flashing a new rom really...a do it yourself kinda thing lol
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
You need S-Off
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] herbthehammer:
From my limited knowledge, which might be wrong, there's much more involved than what you are describing. There's something called framework that is very important to everything. You might get lucky and have some success with Frankensteining things. My guess is that it's definitely not that simple. That stuff is way beyond my abilities.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] herbthehammer:
I think the evo and the epic both had a way to make it run vanilla. I tried it and couldn't get it to work with this phone. Maybe I forgot something.

Update

I am running adw ex now. I got home switcher from the market and ran it. It was what I suspected. There's no vanilla home app in the rom, only sense. The others had it buried unless you knew where to find it.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] bcnice20:
just a heads up guys this overlay is setup to be built from gingerbread source :-) not froyo although it can be modified to be built from froyo.

ill setup a froyo branch eventually but just a heads up in case anybody was trying and running into issues..
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] bubby323:
To answer your questions on what this is. An overlay is like a configuration that tells certain aspects when building aosp or cyanogenmod from source how to setup your work station and build environment for a particular phone, in this case the Shift.

Hey guys, I'm bubby323, I'm making the switch from the Epic this week with a trade here on XDA, can't wait to jump on board and get this party started. I develope roms, kernels, recoverys, you name it. Looking forward to seeing you guys around. (:

Bubby323! Wow some great devs are jumping over to the Shift! I'm excited to see what you guys make!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] scottspa74:
Now, aosp also means no 4g, correct? I know that CM seems to have/be close to a fix for this. But straight aosp wouldn't have 4g , correct me if I'm wrong. I know from my home forum (Evo) that 4g and HDMI and various things like that HTC added don't work, and mms is usually an issue it seems.

Please, correct me if I'm wrong. I just wanted to throw this out for those who are asking what aosp is, and an overlay. If they aren't familiar at all, I wouldn't just say its bloat-free super fast android. And again, if I'm wrong absolutely, and please, correct me and even delete my post. But if I'm right, I think its good for those asking "what is aosp" to hear not just the upside.

In any case, bcnice and lithid, cool to see you guys devving here (I'm in love with my Evo, but thinking about getting my mom a shift, tired of watching her try to use a Sammy Moment that truly belongs in the trash, and asking me all the time why its such an unreliable piece of crap. If she has a shift, I'll fix it up for her, and probably have some fun checking it out myself ;) )

I'm using AOSP on my Hero right now, and I have my Evo Shift being delivered Monday. This would be an awesome first rom...you know, once the phone can be permanently rooted and everything...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] diaknia:
Still running Cyanogen'd HeroC for the time being, but i'm thinking of jumping to the Shift. From what I understand from a year of lurking at the HeroC forums. The "Framework" is the hidden internal files and especially device drivers built into Android so that's it's compatible with your phone. Without the right Framework (AOSP-based or Sense), you get features of your phone that simply don't work, have random issues, or cause force closes galore.

Biggest example is Zenulator's myTouch Slide Espresso ports to the Hero. He couldn't just bring the Themes and such over, he had to do a lot of work getting the right Framework in place too.

AOSP is the same way. It will require a different Kernel and Framework to interface with the phone properly than Sense uses. It typically takes a while to take the skeleton AOSP specifications and source provide and merge that with the device drivers and such compatible with the device to get a working Framework/ROM. Once the ground is laid though, things really take off.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Long story short, a friend of mine tried to root his Samsung Vibrant while drunk and failed. Well he managed to try and fix it with Odin and somehow managed to install some AT&T software on it. Problem is, now it's stuck in an infinite black loop unless you hold Vol Down+Home+Power. It then comes to a black screen displaying red numbers. I've tried to fix it with Odin v3 but I never gets past the first step. I'm accepting all help and advice.

If that dont work your throw your phone at the wall and get it replaced by tmo.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Br1cK'd:
Your buddy used the one-click odin for the captivate. I've helped a friend restore his captivate with that, its nice, but model specific for sure. Your only hope is that the bootloader of the captivate rom allows you to somehow boot the vibrant to dl mode. The following method works on my vibrant and my friends captivate.

Phone off, battery sim and sd cards out, have odin loaded with the pit and tar files for the vibrant.

Plug in usb from pc to phone.

Holding down both volume up and down only, and insert the battery.

This will hopefully get you into download mode, and you can flash the correct rom with the right odin, not the one click.

Hope this helps. This boot method works on both phones to get dl mode. Keeping my fingers crossed for ya.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddysays:
I would try using the froyo that does not brick method. That has got me out of some tough spots. Also use newest version of odin and a 32 bit operating system. Never really bricked if you can get into dl mode

And if it fails keep trying, odin is finicky.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a4 moda:
I'm pretty sure it's a Captivate, and NOT a Vibrant. So, stop throwing Vibrant specific fixes at the phone.

This is as far Odin v1.3 gets..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Br1cK'd:
Try it again. Close odin, disconnect phone and pull battery. Odin can be tempermental. Reopen odin, reload the files, boot phone to dl mode, and try to hit the start button in odin within about 20 seconds of the com port being recognized. Try to select repartition in this case, so odin knows to set the partitions. If all else fails, search for and use the froyo that doesn't brick method mentioned earlier. If you can boot to dl mode, there is still hope.

Hi.

Has anybody payed for madaco performance pack, if so is it really worth the cash. I respect pauls work, he has done a fantastic job of his rom-add on. But i feel like £9.99 is a high price to pay for drivers that the manufacturer should provide for free. I dont mind donating for good work, but this seems like a high price to pay. Pre paying for stuff is just not my way, i like to test the software and then buy or donate to the products on its own merits. This is not a stab at madaco, i just love the spirit here on xda dev.

If any body has the performance pack, what sort of scores do you get from quadrant, over the 1800 or so you get in stock.

Any responses are appreciated:)

Edit: I have remade the performance pack from the gtab tegra update. Please only use with 1.06 firmware. Grab it Here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10546189&postcount=27 Getting 2300+ in quadrant now. Overall the device is a lot smoother with this pack. Please vote in the poll after trying.

[Vega General] Bearded_1:
Here's something i posted a few days back :) it did have links to the web pages for tests and the youtube vid but i need to do 8 posts bore i can include links!

Just thought i'd make some kinda list of benchmarking results for info..

reason being i was looking at the Notion Ink website and saw some video of the benchmarks the Adam was running so i though i'd compare -

my Vega is on 1.06.5 with the r6 + performance pack, and just for a laugh i thought i'd include my pc (IE8) and samsung galaxy s (running froyo 2.2.1 - yeehaa!) for a comparison - all using their default browser for browser based tests.

the first benchmark run is browsermark by rightwave - higher is better -

my pc: 52877

Adam: 51049

Vega: 49804

Galaxy S: 32658

second is the sunspider javascript benchmark - lower is apparently better -

my pc: 3601.4ms

Vega: 4234.2ms

Adam: 4363.6ms

Galaxy S: 7355.4ms

they only did the two tests but i thought i'd pop in the futuremark peacekeeper browser test

my pc: 1118 - ie8

Vega: 744 - shows as safari v4.0

Galaxy S: 488 - again it shows as safari v4.0

then i thought i'd run the popular quadrant benchmark (on the marketplace) - interestingly the vega skips (or seems to skip) the 12 cpu tests.. - higher is better!

Vega: 2102

Galaxy s: 1104

lastly - neocore (on the marketplace again) - and to be fair to the vega the screen setting is 1024x600 vs the galaxy s 480x800 so it has more work to do..

Vega: 45.0fps

Galaxy S: 55.6fps

any other benchies we could run?

@ ganjaman The performance pack does help there is no doubt, however I agree with your feelings completely. My adfree has just run out and I wont be renewing.
[Vega General] orlok:
hello all

(hello higgsy, ive been lurking around yer posts at modaco)

Im not too interested at actual benchmarks ( no disrespect to the bearded 1) but actual real world useability.

Pauls work is undoubtedly great and hopefully has paved the way somewhat for devs here to enhance and improve.

But, is it worth the cost?

In some ways one would assume yes, but if i was able to assist in this kind of field, im more of a "give it away for free and get the hits" for revenue rather than a charger on a one to one basis.

but thats not to say he's wrong in his buisness model, its just not my way. Although he must have server/time costs to cover.

Anyhoo, i digress.

Does the performance pack, which I understand to be the latest drivers etc copied over the old stock drivers (correct me if im wrong, paul :) ) actually increase the useability of the device?

The freebee pack at modaco, does make the Vega a far better machine than the stock one, no argument about that.

But does the perfomance pack change things?

Perhaps the fact that the freebee pack alters so much (for the average user) that im expecting a drastic change. If its just a little snappeir, I, personally cant justify the cost.

If it's a major change then, although im a poor mouse, i can just about cover it. (the vega was a prezzie btw).

Id love to know from folk who have had a before and after experience.
