I think File Expert also has root functionality, but I haven't used it myself.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] androidlover123:
try super manager, works perfectly fine when i tried to make system read write and i managed to edit something in the system partition. btw its free!! (it looks slightly more user friendly than root explorer) hope that helps!
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] syathibiy:
how long does it take to download the Root Explorer after I've done purchasing it? I've been waiting for like,half an hour already. it's stated here,'authorising purchase'. I'm from malaysia.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Woody:
Half an hour is too long. Go into setting->applications->running services and shut down Market. Then re-open the market and go into My Apps and you should see Root Explorer there. It should say Purchased. Just click on install.

Or

Go into setting->applications->manager applications and find the market. Clear cache and clear data and then re-open market and go to My apps.

One of those two should work. Try #1 first though.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] syathibiy:
I've tried both,but still couldn't work. is it because the app hasn't been shipped to my phone yet? do I need to wait for email verification that they've shipped the app? because I've only got 1 message from Speed Software.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Woody:
If you purchased it, it should be there. When you go into Market and Root Explorer, what does it say where the install/ purchase button is? Maybe try and reboot. wipe dalvik and cache and see if that works.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] syathibiy:
done reboot. okay,this is what it says. I click purchased/ok. then,your item will be downloaded. next,authorising purchase. this 'authorising purchase' takes long time. I don't know what's wrong with it.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Woody:
Honestly I have only seen this once or twice and clearing cache and data fixed it for me.

Google "authorizing purchase takes long time". I put it in there and got tons of links. Check those out and see. Stick with it b/c not only is Root Explorer worth it (plus if you got an email from them, then the purchase was already authorized) but you may have this problem in the future with other paid apps.

I'll look around too but I have to get some "real" work done beforeI leave for the day. If I find anything I will post it for you but I'll keep checking back too. Good luck.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] syathibiy:
you know what. the problem is just getting worse. I received an email says,'your account has been temporarily suspended and you will be unable to place orders.' so,I had to cancel my order. why's that happening? is it because I used my dad's credit card as I don't have one.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Woody:
Not sure but I would maybe email or call them and find out. I have a pre-paid card "on-file" that I use for purchases. Maybe the Google account associated with you phone/address doesn't match the card user. I would contact them directly about that b/c it can't be good until you get it unlocked.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] syathibiy:
yeah,I want this app so badly. :( yeah,what if Google account associated with my phone/address doesn't match the card user? is that illegal according to law?
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Woody:
No it isn't illegal, just probably Google covering themselves to avoid any CC fraud issues. So you can't get into the market at all? Or you can't purchase anything? Or both?

Either way, I would definately call them and bypass the email way altogether. If your account is frozen, then who knows what might trickle down from that. I suggest getting that fixed. Also as above, I really suggest a pre-paid card to have on file. Our phones are actually small computers that can be suseptable to viruses and obviously, hacks (b/c isn't that what this forum is all about, hacking? although not maliciously).

Once you get that part fixed, we can revisit the main reason for your questions and Link2sd. Sux man. I feel for ya.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] syathibiy:
how do I have this pre-paid card on file. explain please.

---------- Post added at 01:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 AM ----------

yeah,I can get to the market. and I'm still able to purchase apps,but only the free ones.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Woody:
Get a pre-paid card and and when you go to purchase an app it asks for your card information. If you have an existing card it will use that (such as your dads) or you can add another one.

If you can still get into market that is good, but if it is free then it isn't the same as purchasing them. Beware that Google customer service isn't the best, so if your account isn't unlocked in the near future, I would start calling and blasting them with emails. Honestly never heard of such a thing.

See if you can access the market from your PC and search around there for any clues.

Edit::this is way off topic. If you have anymore questions about your market issues, jus tPM me and I'll see if I can help (not sure I can though as I am out of clues). Let's just keep this thread going back on the Link2sd issue.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] syathibiy:
oh. yeah,what you said is true. purchase and free download simply 2 different things. haha. yeah. sorry to others. anyway,thanks so much for the help. anything I'll just PM you. :)
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] ahhavmt:
That 's great, thanks so much! It 's very useful!:)
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] syathibiy:
it works perfectly. thanks a lot. :D
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Woody:
Great. Welcome back. Good to see you got your Google issues worked out. Now for some real fun. A whole slew of new ROMs in the dev thread. Have and good luck.

Hi, I tried to do but receive the error:

Help pls!
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Zachary57:
What phone and android version do you have ?

Did you paste this file (after unzip) :xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=498835&d=1295907774 into /system/lib/module ?
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] wgbfilho:
I'm using Milestone A853 with FroyoMOD. Yes, I paste the file.

Tks
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Mioze7Ae:
A853 has a froyo kernel. You should get modules from nadlabak (if they aren't already in FroyoMOD). On XT720 we have only eclair kernel.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Zachary57:
FroyoMod already have ext2 module : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=815595

So no need to insert module skip this step.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] hazema:
I have done everything but one problem

Thank you very much for this step by step procedure, but I have one problem. everytime I run link2sd on my XT720, android 2.1 unlocked and rooted, it asks me to choose between ext2, ext3, ext4, FAT32, 16 I tried ext2 it gave me an error message sayin (mount script can not be created mount: no such device ext2 may not be supported by your device try FAT32) so i try fat32 but I get another error message saying (Mount script can not be created mount: Invalid argument)

When I try and create link on any app it says /data/sdext2 mount not found.

Please help as i have no room to install apps on my phone eventhough I have 8 gb memory card. :(

Thank you
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] rec0va:
I think it works with only Eclair...

I tried nilfs2 app2sd while using eclair on my XT720

but it occured my phone cannot boot :mad:

Is it more safe & easy than nilfs app2sd?
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] fribriz:
This could mean that your sdcard is not mounted or not mounted correctly.

I have a XT720 on Gingerbread CM7 - in the end, I let aps2sd do what link2sd is supposed to do.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] mchlbenner:
You mean the sdcard is not correctly portion.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] hazema:
do you know how to fix my problem??
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] hazema:
I found out now that for xt720 you dont need your second partion as ext2 or 3 but in FAT32 as ext3 and 2 are not supported by this phone
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Zachary57:
Retry this command after launching link2sd :

1) "/system/bin/su"

2) "insmod /system/lib/modules/ext2.ko"

Do not reboot phone beetwen the time you enter this command and the time you launch link2sd.

You can see if insmod work by taping "lsmod" and looking for ext2.ko : if it is in the list it's load if not you have to reload it.

Hi everyone!

I've installed Myn's Warm Donut and it works, but when i lock the phone with power button i have white screen! I've tried all panels! What can i do?

Thanks for the answer! ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] syntax1993:
When you lock or when you turn the screen on again?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] dark_prince:
EVERY android kernel has a bug with screen wake up. If, in your case that happens, its perfectly normal, that white screen stays for like only a second and then android lock screen shows up. Press menu key and ur device will unlock. Sometimes that white screen stays, in that case just press Menu color again if that white screen still stays, you need to change the panel. Its impossible that white screen stays for infinite time. Mind to have a radio version greater than 1.65
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] salva_ilgrande:
ah ok...the situation is exactly as you describe! I thought it was an only mine problem! Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] sicstifor:
i have the same bug. what panel works fine?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] dark_prince:
Colours messed up?

white screen keeps there FOREVER?

Its time to change panel, try using Type 1 first, later try type 2 and type 3 is for exceptional cases :P

Every kaiser device has different panel type. Mine, HTC TyTn II KAIS130 has panel type 1 and another guy over here has same device he's using Panel 1 too. Warbyte has KAIS130 as well but he's using Panel 2. Its you who figure out that THIS panel is not working fine, lets try another. At maximum u understand it after two tries. And mostly you get a fine screen with fine colours in first try.

Only CHANGE panel if that white gibberish screen stays on for ever.

[Gen8 General] nam265:
portrait mode by default???

(some unknown setting)

ro.board.display_portrait

Seems like setting this to =yes may give us default portrait mode.

Sometimes when i do reading i want to lock the rotation... but by doing so i'll be forced to be in landscape.

I'll root my Archos70 when i get home from work and test these settings out...

I'm really interested in putting the menu to the top instead of the side...

I wonder how it looks like when u put the archos in portrait...
[Gen8 General] sdho:
wow, can't wait to hide that soft buttons when I get home....thank you.
[Gen8 General] fuzzer:
WORKS

Hidden buttons works great....now just gotta get the notification bar moved to the bottom....

i rooted with archangel.. put the local.prop inside the "data" folder of the internal storage

doesn't work. for me.. do i have to root with SDE?

A70IT
[Gen8 General] wdl1908:
Nope archangel is fine maybe this only works on A101IT
[Gen8 General] nam265:
can you explain how to obtain this?

I made a txt file and add the two command lines like u said

rename the .txt file to local.prop

dropped it in /data/

rooted my A70IT with archangel

reboot and not working... please help
[Gen8 General] takashi_tann:
my steps are firstly create a text file with notepad in windows and save as local.prop then copy it to somewhere of ur sd card, and move into /data of internal storage by using root exporer
[Gen8 General] nam265:
that sux.. i went ahead and root with archangel hoping that i can finally move that side menu to the top...

can some other user with A70IT confirm this?

ohh pleae check my post above and see if i followed the steps correctly
[Gen8 General] nam265:
Ohh ok i'll try that

I have the file in SD and copied to internal space using Files app from archos.. let me try root explorer
[Gen8 General] wdl1908:
You can't drop anything in /data before you root your device. SO how did you manage that?
[Gen8 General] nam265:
THANKSSS NOW IT WORKS

also thanks fuzzer for the button savior option

**I've never rooted my A70 so I didn't know i needed to use Root Explorer to drop the file in /data

sorry for the noob move
[Gen8 General] nam265:
i saw the data folder on internal storage so i thought that was it

didn't know i needed root explorer to do the job.

thanks anyway

Trying the setting that removes the homescreen lag.

And thanks for the button savior post! Using that now so I can hide the toolbar!

Pretty happy with these tweaks.

Wow!, this fell good and look like my old android chiness tablet. :D
[Gen8 General] wdl1908:
Jerry maybe it will be better if you edit the first post and add new stuff and descriptions. this will make it easier for new people to find things.
[Gen8 General] ShadowZephyr:
Just tested it on my Archos 70 IT, it works great. Only problem is in portrait mode, the available menu space for the notifications is very small.

I wish there was a way to have the old toolbar and use button savior.

Great work man!, I applaud you!
[Gen8 General] darren1:
I can not use the back key or menu key with Button Savior. On the market page it says

"IF YOU HAVE PROBLEM GRANTING ROOT FOR THIS APP

If your device is rooted and still cannot use keys except home, please update su binary and superuser apk."

I have done this but it did not help. Is this the same for everyone? I also came across this on another forum

"Try using root explorer to change the permissions of the file /system/bin/input to all "ticks" (i,e all read, write, execute is permitted). It should work. It work for me!"

Can we change the permission of this file?
[Gen8 General] sdho:
Jerry, thanks for this thread. I would also recommend updating the title to include verbiage such as: (how to hide soft keys or anything of that nature). It will probably attract many more users.
[Gen8 General] fisha21:
Thanks for this jerry101.

The ro.board.has_buttonbar=no option works nicely. Now just need to work out how to make the bar smaller! Tried resizing the pngs of the buttons, but not that easy sadly!

EDIT

Ok, just removed the local.prop file to get the buttons back on the side, and now SD won't mount via USB. Also, after the failed mount, Root explorer can only see an empty video folder on the mircoSD. Requires a reboot to find most of the files again but video folder is still empty, and pictures are gone too (luckily I keep a backup of my SD). I am also editing the framework-res.apk, but the only thing I did between USB mount working and not working was to delete local.prop and reboot. Any ideas?
[Gen8 General] jakkrith:
@fisha21

I had removed the local.prop file because to get the buttons back on the side. After reboot my device (Archos 101) no any problem. SD can mount via USB and all files still on SD too.
[Gen8 General] fisha21:
Thanks jakkrith.

Suddenly it's working again. Prob unrelated to the local.prop file!
[Gen8 General] sublimejosh2000:
I had problems too....

I noticed that the Local.Prop file made my SDcard and Internal storage not mount as well. I deleted the local.prob.. rebooted, didn't have ANY buttons... then rebooted with buttons on side again... then put the local.prop back on... then went back to normal...

I have no idea what happened there.. something keeps getting messed up with the mounting somehow... now my wireless is being weird ....
[Gen8 General] Hondaracer:
The ro.board.has_buttonbar=no (hidden button bar) setting works on the 70S but its a bit annoying when playing Death Runner for example. You can only exit with the Buttons mode. After you have exit, the keys in the notification bar will be gone and you will have to reboot :(
[Gen8 General] ViPaSoft:
Thanks for this, it seems to be working great.

I have an Archos 70 IT.

Only problem I had was my WiFi was saying 'error' everytime I tried to access anything and some of my games we not working, but did a re-boot and all works fine now. (That could have been down to me trying originally to use ES File Explorers 'ROOT EXPLORER' option, which I turned off before reboot)

Tried it with Angry Birds, gRave Defence, Agent and several others and they all work well.

To exit said games that do not have an exit function built in, I just press the power button for a couple of seconds and then choose button mode which displays a large set of buttons on the screen. When exited, I just press the X button to make them disappear again.

Again, great find.

As others have said, would be nice to have a smaller bar at the top, but it's no big deal really. Worth it to have full screen for games without overlay issues.

PS: I only used the 'ro.board.has_buttonbar=no' option
[Gen8 General] darren1:
All the buttons are working for me now with Button Savior. I changed all the permissions of /system/bin/input as above, and rebooted and now all buttons work.
[Gen8 General] jerry101:
button will appear again when you open auto-rotate and rotate the screen.
[Gen8 General] solune:
Thanks again for this tips, I've add it in urukconfig v0.6 :)
[Gen8 General] JeG81:
thank you very much for this, works flawlessly on my 101 (rooted with chulris how-to)

i hide the notification bar using launcher pro and now have true fullscreen for some apps!
[Gen8 General] aznmode:
This is great. thank you. The only issue I have now is Button Savior only works once in a while. I tried the Root Explorer method and it works great until after I reboot again. Then I lose read, write, execute. I have to recheck then reboot to get it to work again. I'm root using SDE method. It's fine for now since I know how to re-enable it. Just not sure why it keeps losing it.
[Gen8 General] darren1:
I found that after I had rebooted I lost the buttons again. Rather than reboot you need to uncheck and and recheck USB Debugging and then restart Button Savior, and it works again.
[Gen8 General] Tesla74:
Check this out! With LCD Density Changer and Button Savior you can get it to look like this! Very cool!

Thanks to aznmode for this information:

[Gen8 General] chemical1der:
Thanks for this work around!

Question: Any A43IT using this? I successfully got rid of my soft keys but when I tried to remap my buttons to the notification bar it didn't stick. Can you only remap the buttons on the larger tablets?

TIA!
[Gen8 General] aznmode:
I noticed this too. Which is what I've been doing now. I used to do the same with for Titanium backup to make it work correctly. Tried it for Button Savior and it corrected it. So it looks like it isn't just allowing permission that will correct it.
[Gen8 General] butman:
sorry double post, delete please
[Gen8 General] butman:
I've activated all the permissions on the input, but it still only working the Home, Phone and Camera button on the Button Savior, how i can activate the Back and Setting buttons?

I did that and it works... so try not to restart your Archos, if you did, just repeat the steps above
