Epic4g news: It looks like a rooted de-ox version of the leaked froyo beta is up for flashing on XDA. It's a beta froyo, of course, so there are issues. The dev that is issuing this is fixing stuff as he goes, so it would probably be easier to wait a few days for everything to be fixed up. Plus a newer beta has been leaked (but not released to the public) so it would probably be better to wait for that too. And this doesn't contain a radio update, so no GPS fixes or anything, just the standard froyo stuff like flash and Skype working. That all said, if you HAVE to have froyo now, and want to risk it, it's there. Bobulus fucked around with this message at 12:10 on Nov 12, 2010 |

Zero The Hero posted:I want to take off some of the stupid apps that came with my Droid 2, but I'm worried about deleting something that might be system critical or used by other apps, or something. Is there a list of apps I can safely delete from my Droid 2? And I use Root Explorer to do so, right? The following is safe to remove. Instead of deleting them entirely it might be a better idea to freeze them with Titanium or to move them with Root Explorer so you can put them back if needed. * CarDock.apk * CityID.apk * MyVerizon.apk * Skype_mobile.live.apk * Vvm.apk * WorkContacts.apk * amazonmp3_1.7.22_signed_zipaligned.apk * Blockbuster.apk * Mynet.apk (3G Mobile Hotspot) * MotoGAL.apk (Corporate Directory) The entire bloatware premise is silly anyway and I don't know why people care so much about it, most of the apps aren't doing anything on your phone except taking up space in your app drawer (which you can hide).

The disk space is another reason  . When you get a message saying disk is full, then see 10 apps you never use nor want, it gets irritating.

And furthermore if it was the case that Verizon apps were using up needed disk space I'm pretty sure all of the D2 internal space is earmarked for apps so unless someone is going to figure out a way to fill 8GB with apps, along with your SD card, I doubt something like VZW Navigator would stand in your way.

It's not so much that I need it gone for every reason, but that its presence offends me. That probably sounds super nerdy, but I can't stand for my computer to ever tell me I can't do something. I just think, I own you. You have to do what I say.

Can I install the OTA update that sprint is trying to push to my EVO if I have rooted it? I actually tried once already and it seemed to fail when it restarted (showed an android with a red triangle containing an exclamation point). I was able to get it running again by pulling the battery, but it's asking me to install again.

Just installed the N1 partition layout on my Desire via instructions at: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/8504-gapps-package-updates/page__p__75149#entry75149 Gone from constant low memory warnings to over 100MB internal memory free. That was a severe deficiency of the phone fixed just like that. It blows my mind how much better my phone is now with Cyanogenmod and other rootin' goodies - way better battery life, faster, and can now install more apps. It makes it hard for me to recommend Android to non-techie friends since I wouldn't particularly want a stock Desire (or similar) myself.

HTC Eris 2.1 rooted with SuperOneClick. Trying to get recovery.img on there. I put it on the SD card, but these commands are just not working (from this guide: I did: adb shell su Then ran the first one: adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system And that worked, but then: adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image Says "no such file found" or something like that. adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-ra-eris.img Says "flash_image: permission denied" Any ideas? tl;dr: Just simply trying to get a recovery on an Eris. Can someone please provide a working method?

May not be relevant here but when I used fastboot to flash an hboot image, it looked for the file on the computer, in the same folder as fastboot - not on the SD card. I'm not sure if adb is the same.

I don't have wifi and I would really like to be able to connect my wii and DS up to the internet using my phone if possible but thus far have been unable to get it to work. Is this even possible? I have the Epic 4g and I'm rooted with the Syndicate fully loaded rom that includes Wireless Tether. When I try and connect my Wii to my phone, it sees it and shows goo signal strength but when I try to connect it just pops up an error saying it was unable to connect, check to make sure that the SSiD is correct. Does anyone have any experience with trying to do this, or know if it's even possible to do so?

The Wii/DS might not be able to work with an ad-hoc connection. I'm pretty sure the latest versions of wifi-tether support infrastructure mode so your Wii can connect to it- http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...ties-on-evo-4g/

Wow I feel dumb.

hatersg2haet posted:I can't find a rom that will work on my Sprint HTC Hero without breaking something. Either visual voicemail, or text messaging, currently using Cyanogenmod but the thing runs pretty slow and laggy it feels sometimes, even thought I oced it. It might not be a bad idea to try to flash in a new kernel. The HTC Hero's brother, the Droid Eris had some massive instability with its FroYo releases until someone elses kernel came in and fixed a ton of problems. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756774 Looks like a new Hero kernel was released just on 11/12. Reboot into recovery, wipe system cache & Dalvik cache, then flash in that kernel. It can't hurt.

God Exists. posted:I'm pretty sure if you run the update it'll fail and the notification will go away? I believe the Incredible is one of those HTC phones with the S-ON bootloader which means it can't be flashed with a permanent recovery. This means that if he takes the OTA notification, the OTA will flash successfully and there goes root.
