[G2 and Desire Z General] enserio:
I attempted to perform a perm root + S-OFF via BlackPrince' video.

Everything seemed to work like a charm. The only thing I did different was type 'sync' twice at the end of the terminal process. Didn't really think that would hurt.

Downloaded Rom Manager and attempted to flash ClockworkMod, but it gave me errors, said something about su not being found in the right place.

typed su into my phone terminal and got the 'access denied', which leads me of course to believe that my root isn't permanent.

I would love to use both the CM and Sense ROMs, but not sure if that's smart seeing as how the root isn't permanent.

One thing different from BPs video

I have searched all over these intraweb and found a bunch of topics with no definite solution for the G2.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
[G2 and Desire Z General] wileykat:
Use the gfree method from the wiki.
[G2 and Desire Z General] PoisonWolf:
This. If you follow the instructions, it's almost fool proof.
[G2 and Desire Z General] DBNemesis1701:
Wiki says if you have S-OFF (I've checked and I still do): "Then you can use the psneuter procedure to get temp root at 1.72, and then follow that up with the usual methods to get permanent root from there."

I can get the # on the PC, but how do I then 'lock it in'? - I've spent a fair while looking round, but can't seem to find out.

I assumed I could go to the terminal emulator, but it was $.

Thanks for the replies, people. I will definitely use the gfree method when I get home. Two questions though:

Is there a way I can run both sets of commands in terminal?

Can I still perm root while running CM6?

[HTC Aria General] BuckMulligan:
Actually, no - that wasn't the least bit helpful. Like the OP, I've been struggling with this topic for a while and I've searched extensively, both on this forum and elsewhere, and have found no good description of how to go about partitioning my SD card and setting it up correctly. I understand that very often people don't bother to search at all and ask questions that have been asked and answered hundreds of times before, and that such laziness is quite frustrating to people like yourself who are particularly knowledgeable and experienced - but in this one instance, I think you may have been a bit too quick to dismiss the OP's question.
[HTC Aria General] clickclickpc:
You can boot from a live CD such as Ubuntu and then mount the microSD. From there, the partitions may be extended to meet your needs. The live CD will see the ext2, ext3, swap, etc. linux partitions as well as the FAT32 ones.

I found this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=877218

which stated that its currently impossible to have the camera working with a custom kernel and hardware revision, and I am going out of town next week and was really hoping there has been an update since that post.

information about my phone:

htc evo 4g

hardware version: 0004

android version: 2.2

using OMJ_EVO_2.2_Froyo_4.0

information about what I tried to make it work:

I have compiled my own kernel based on HTC #17, but cannot get the camera to work (the app turns the screen black). I used logcat and saw that it was complaining about "no such/file directory" on /dev/msm_camera/...0 so i made a symlink from the existing device that ended with "1", killed the camera application with "kill", restarted camera app and it still goes black.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
You need something with the 3.70.651.1's kernel (or something based on it) or CyanogenMod 6.1.2's kernel. Simple as that.

SO! Options (that I know of):

Myn's RLS5

Stock Rooted

CyanogenMod 6.1.2

CyanogenMod 7-RC0-KANG (aka, home-compiled builds)

I'm sure there's others, but they're either CM kangs, or Sense.

King hasn't released a kernel since before the 004's even really started coming out, let alone the source being released for them. Besides, if you're still using KingKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG's kernels, you don't know the point of Android or Open Source.

NEWEST TANGO WORKS WITH ALL 2.3.4 ROMS! IF IT DOESN'T, TRY THIS!

Okay, so for those who are having a problem with people seeing you upside down or you can't switch cameras on Tango Video Calls, here's the way to fix that.

Credit:

KinnySwaggg(Me) - Posted fix

Zinx - Discovering Fix

my2sense - Adding "ro.product.model" change

coupetastic-droid - Finding old Tango

CyanogenMOD Team -For being awesome at what they do!

Things you need:

- Root Explorer from the android market ( or search on Google. I do not leak)

- Tango Installed

If the new Tango doesn't work, here is the an old version http://tinyurl.com/3em4upo. (Credits to coupetastic-droid)

Instructions:

- Go into Root Explorer and allow root privileges

- Go into the system folder

- At the top, press mount R/W

- Then hold down on "build.prop" and open with text editor

- Find ro.product.manufacturer and change HTC to Samsung.

- Find ro.product.model from HTC Glacier to Nexus S

- Save and Quit

- Reboot device

- Go to Tango and test the video call with a friend and you should be able to switch cameras.

Thanks for reading! :)

[myTouch 4G Android Development] Matt105:
Thanks! Haven't tested it yet, but I had the upside down bug and I'm really hoping this will fix it. I'm on CM7 Alpha b48!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bobsbbq:
Yes I think so. This is related to Tango not necessarily the ROMS, Since Tango is the alternate to qik it was upside down but just changing the Mfg to the samsung makes it work. Probably something to due with the Nexus S as it has 2.3 GB installed and HTC does not.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kinnyswaggg:
no prob! =) I'm on B#51 but yeah. once you fix it, it'll be all good.

MyTouch 4G - Tango - Still Upside Down

T-Mobile MyTouch 4G

Cyanogenmod 7 (Stable)

Android Gingerbread 2.3

so far the front camera is upside down still, when i tried the "root explorer" fix and rebooted, it just made the camera on my end black so i couldn't see my own face but the person on the other end still saw me upside down.

So I just changed the entry from Samsung back to HTC and saved and exited and rebooted once again. No Dice :confused:
[myTouch 4G Android Development] coupetastic-droid:
This mod does not work if you have the latest update of tango because its not just a rom issue. Is both the rom and tango I believe. The only fix is to download the older version of tangon
[myTouch 4G Android Development] _ice_:
someone should upload the older tango APK... :|
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kinnyswaggg:
Yeah, It doesn't work with the new CM7's. =( sorry.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] my2sense:

[myTouch 4G Android Development] shanman9:
No dice on the above edit. I have 2 mytouches and edited them both. One worked fine, and mine didn't have the front camera as an option. Mine showed correctly on my screen, but black on the other end
[myTouch 4G Android Development] my2sense:
Really? It was working for me (both front and rear cameras) today but I was using tango with my friend's iphone4. I've seen both the black screen and the upside down on my MT4G playing with one or the other changes but works for me when I tried both.

Or maybe I was more drunk than I thought!

ROM: UD 3.3.0

Kernel: Faux CFS-LV 2.5.1

Tango: 1.6.7596
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kinnyswaggg:
All I got is a black screen. =/ Hopefully they make a fix.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] my2sense:
This is not related to Tango but I just wanted to report that these changes works for me on the latest Fring (with 4 users). I tested this out with other android/iphone users.

If tango doesn't work for you, you may want to try Fring. Of course, YMMV.

Currently on nb58, Faux CFS-LV 2.5.2
[myTouch 4G Android Development] coupetastic-droid:
Here you go everyone. For those who still need the old version to make tango work properly.

I never used the app, but if you use root explorer or pull the /system/build.prop file and change the density in there it looks great and never reboots. Some things dont fit on the screen right, which is annoying, but otherwise its fine.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scoop24:
I do this and use lcd changer to do the reboot. For some reason when I do the build.prop method only all my apps dont fit the screen.So I make change and use lcd to reboot. I usually go to about 225.

[Hero CDMA General] systemshock869:
Ok so I spent a few hours messing around last night, and I found a way to tether to my wii. It's probably no good for playing online. I needed to update my homebrew and this worked great for that.

You will need two routers, one of them capable of running dd-wrt. Set the dd-wrt router for client-bridge mode in the wireless tab. In basic setup (in the setup tab), the gateway should be set to the IP of your phone, and the channel and SSID should be set to match your phone. Give the router an IP address that is high in the range set on your tether app. Under setup>advanced routing make sure it is set to router and not gateway. Now with your phone broadcasting, go to the status tab, and the wireless sub-tab. Scroll to the bottom, and click site survey. Your tethered network should show up. Click join. Unfortunately you have to do this every time, as dd-wrt doesn't automatically connect to ad-hoc networks.

Now set up your second router the way you like. Run a patch cable from LAN on the first router to WAN on the second. After it connects, you should have a fully functioning infrastructure network through your tethered connection.

If you don't know about dd-wrt, all the info is online. Read the wiki carefully as you can potentially brick your router if you flash a version that your router can't handle. I'm not responsible if you do this!

I don't know if tomato is capable of client-bridge mode, but you could probably use it instead of dd-wrt if you prefer.

Good luck!
[Hero CDMA General] oohaylima:
Very informative!!
[Hero CDMA General] thesubliminaljuggalo:
I was thinking about this the other day for my PS3. My idea was that couldn't you use your computer as an internet gateway and run a patch cable (Not sure if it'd be a crossover or not) from your computer to a router (into the "Internet" port) and run another patch cable from the router into the PS3?

I didn't bother to try it, but it was an interesting thought considering the only internet connection I have where I live currently is through my phone. The connection does just fine to run Vent+WoW, though. (:

edit: Maybe it'd work with a switch instead of a router? 'nother thought.
[Hero CDMA General] systemshock869:
You should be able yo do that, but you wouldn't need a switch or a router, just plug straight in if you use a crossover cable. I think you would need a router if you use patch cables.

The wii doesn't have an Ethernet port so I haven't tried it that way.. I bet its a pain to set up internet sharing in windows though
[Hero CDMA General] systemshock869:
Or switch
[Hero CDMA General] danaff37:
It's real easy to share your internet from wifi tether through your computer's ethernet port. and for the wii, you only need a usb to ethernet adapter to use ethernet. (in windows) just enable share connection for your ethernet connection. Plug in. done.
