Good to know. I'll be working on a bunch of Heros soon and I'll follow that method. Makes me think - If I'm rooting a bunch of Heros, is there a way I can do that process once, on one Hero, and someone copy over a backup on all the other phones? Basically thinking of how I can root, install wireless tether and a few other things, even change the boot screen, and make it a backup that I can apply to all the phones I have quickly. yamdankee fucked around with this message at 21:41 on Dec 27, 2010 |

yamdankee posted:That seems like a lot of work. Does SuperOneClickRoot not work for the Hero? Its just copy and paste. And it gives you enough info that if you wanted to know wtf you could find out what your actually doing heh. As for everything else, I would think just modify the cyanogen rom with the extra's you want/need. Rom building is easy enough. XDA has plenty of how-to's. Just inject the extra apk's so its all done in one heap. For the rooting, it cant take more than 5 mins.

Rooting my Nexus S to install CM7 and I'm wondering if there is any way to backup everything before unlocking my bootloader since that wipes all user data. I know I can use Titanium Backup once I'm rooted, but I don't think that helps me in this case.

Protip: If you are a shitheel and steal a cell phone you should probably respond back to the person when he starts shooting you angry texts with your GPS loc in them and calling the phone constantly anytime you turn it on. This suggests possibly he's not your average cell phone user. At least you were smart enough to hand it back when he was standing outside your car in the parking lot because you left the phone in it. Trip report: The sprint family locator that utilizes the GPS in your phone works pretty well. 14 day free trial to recover a stolen evo as opposed to $100 claim through TEP.

Crossposted from OS thread: Flashed the new fresh update on my EVO using clockworkmod, and was about to try to reflash the updated radios. Is there any issues doing this with clockwork? I seem to have been reading some mixed results using clockwork. Also, is it necessary to update the radios?

Casao posted:Space. Apps install on /Data partition, which is a different partition from /System. Moving an app to /System frees up some space. OK. How do you know how much space you have on each partition? Can you update apps from the Market without any issues, or do you have to move them back in order to update them? (For instance, if I wanted to move, say Flash, AIR, and all of the Google Apps over to /System to leave myself more space on /Data...or is this a bad idea?) Right now my phone shows that I have a total of 428MB of Total Internal Storage, with 107MB free. How do I know how much space I have on /System to move things over?

Blast from the past time. I'm running the last version of Dwang on my G1. I recently got pushed the new market update and began ham fisting the "update all" button. I'm running apps2sd. Now when ever I'm on the home screen and tilt the phone to auto rotate, I get "The process android.process.acore hast stopped unexpectadly. Please try again. It's annoying as gently caress and I need to fix it. I think it has something to do with apps2sd. Help?

(For instance, if I wanted to move, say Flash, AIR, and all of the Google Apps over to /System to leave myself more space on /Data...or is this a bad idea?) Updates will be installed to /data. It means after the first update, it will go back to taking up space in /data until you migrate it again. As far as I'm aware, there's no issue moving things to /system - I've only done it a few times. As for telling, that should be /data - for example, I have an N1, which has 512MB internal memory. Of that, 196MB is devoted to /data. So my Internal Storage space shows 196MB, with 40.93MB available. I'm not sure how to tell how much you have in /system easily, so hopefully someone will correct me. If you're slightly comfortable with command line: code:

I may be getting a replacement phone from verizon and want to make sure everything (texts, call history, etc) gets transferred over. Can I just do a full backup with Titanium Backup, root the new phone, install TB, and restore? Will that basically clone my old phone onto the new one?

Casao posted:I'm not sure how to tell how much you have in /system easily, so hopefully someone will correct me. This is an incomplete solution, but if you use Root Explorer to navigate to /system, the bar at the top of the screen will tell you how much space is free there. Doesn't give you any info about the partition's total size, but you can at least see how much room you have to play.

So i've got the OS up and running again fine, however it's now no longer rooted (obviously) and the recovery part doesn't work. Rooting just hangs on "pushing recovery" if I try now. I'm honestly not sure what to do.

I'm running CM 6.1.1 on my Evo, freshly installed with absolutely no backed up content (so completely clean) about three weeks ago. Since switching, I've noticed that my WiFi does not stay connected when idle, nor does it reconnect if I pull it out to do something. I don't notice it often since Sprint is good in my area and most of what I do on the phone while at home is low bandwidth, but for example if I want to access my home automation web page or use the XBMC Remote app I have to force it back to WiFi every time. Any ideas on how to get it back to stock/Fresh behavior where it goes out and hunts for known WiFi the second you try to do anything data-related?

It really is a fantastic app.

I've said it before but I really need to sing Tranquility's praises again. If you have a rooted Droid X and are thinking about installing a ROM on it - this is the one. Not only does it take away Blur, but it allows you to add in any Blur options that you may have actually wanted to keep. It has the "Tranq Toolbox" that allows you to easily change things like boot/system animations, the latest comes preloaded with a bunch of themes, including a gingerbread theme that I am currently using. I think it's the most polished, supported, and well done ROM for the Droid X. Edit: Scrubed, I think what you did was awesome. Screw dragging police into it. Glad you got your phone back! On the local news last night someone actually got their car stolen and he used his iPad (:iamafag:) to track it down because his iPhone (:iamafag:) was still inside the car. The police chased him but ended up crashing into the guy. Found his car though. yamdankee fucked around with this message at 20:18 on Dec 29, 2010 |

So I got my Milestone rooted with SuperOneClickRoot and I guess I need a new Rom to work the WiFi tethering app for rooted phones. After doing asking my friend, I guess I have to do the long way around rooting tutorial to be able to do anything with the Rom. As I Google searched, it turns out most of the tutorials/guides/files are for the UK Milestones, and I have a US one (Through a small town telco), and the 3g bands in the downloads are for the UK only. Any ideas?

I used UOT Kitchen to get a circle battery framework-res.apk. When I installed it, everything started crashing. Ok fine, I had a backup so no worries. First I tried restoring only the system portion from the backup, but everything is still crashing. Does anyone know why? The mod should only replace framework-res in system, so it seems kind of weird that the crashing continues after restoring the working system. I ended up sucking up and restoring the complete backup, but I'm curious why restoring only the system didn't work. Edit: Ha, apparently even restoring the complete backup doesn't help. Oh well. I guess it's time to factory reset and start re-installing everything. Jack Flint fucked around with this message at 17:21 on Dec 30, 2010 |
