SuperOneClick Root is supposed to work with nearly any device that has Root. The program now runs on basically anything Lin/Win/Mac. I haven't used it but the thread is full of testimonials.

Froyo with Sense is just getting started. pancake 2.2 for the cdma hero. It's non functional, and bikamp was saying its not very likey to ever be  so cyanogen if you want 2.2.edit; looks like deca is working on a FroyoSense, but I'm not seeing a thread for it. You can find his link on page6 of this thread though. I doubt it'll have the stability you want, but might be worth watching. deong fucked around with this message at 01:27 on Oct 25, 2010 |

PapFinn posted:I've been trying to read up on this so I'm sure, but I always seem to get conflicting information. I'm looking to buy a Hero off of Craigslist to use on Sprint. The CDMA Hero is really easy to root, and you can run CM6 on it. I don't come across any bugs unless I'm playing w/ the nightly builds. The method to root changes depending on what level of OS is currently on it, but the XDA guides will get you set.

PapFinn posted:When I boot into recovery, the Build listed is RA-heroc-v1.6.2 If its already rooted, there is no sense in going to stock to go to another rom. Just slap the stable cm6 on your sd and flash. Oddly enough, it looks like you've got the newest RA recovery on there. But an old rear end rom. Quick search suggests it came out 12.18.09. You can still make a nandroid backup to get back to where you are. I've never gone back to my original nandroid, and at this point who knows if it works w/ the current recovery even. I don't know much about sprint activating you, but I don't see why you can't just call and activate. Maybe ask in the Sprint thread, there are a few that work for sprint in there.

I seem to get one on one app or another at least once a day, something that never really happened on most of the 1.6 ROMs I ran before this. I mostly get FC when I'm first loading.. and its more that would you like to fc or wait message. If i tell it to wait it finishes w/e it is doing. But this is mostly when I'm impatient and don't let the phone fully boot.

PapFinn posted:I'm working on this right now. I have Cyanogen running on the hero now and I have called sprint and have activated the phone on their end. They want me to run a Update Profile in the Settings->About Phone menu but I don't have any such option. I found a thread on XDA that seems to indicate this is just an option stripped from Cyanogen, so I am trying to get a different ROM on there. I'm having issues with that, but I'm slowly working through them I think. I tried a Sense ROM but it just keeps getting stuck at the HTC screen. I'm going back to Cyanogen to see if it's just that particular ROM. Use Fresh Hero 2.4.0 to update your PRL. Just make a nandroid image once you've gotten it installed. When you update the PRL, it will keep after you wipe and re-flash cm6 (or go to your cm6 nandroid). You can rename the nandroid folder, just keep it to alpha-numeric (no spaces). While your at it, you can update your radio as well. Radios seem to be geographically independent as to how well they work. What works best in Colorado, might not be the best one in California for instance.

PapFinn posted:This worked like a charm. I'm currently getting the google apps installed on there. I assume it's just CM6 that doesn't include them as any other ROM I've had on there prompted me to set up a google account from the beginning. Yea, I don't understand why but I think Cyanogen was the only rom cooker to get a C&D from google. The workaround was to keep gapps out of the rom.

I assume you should be able to update like the rest of android devices, stick the new rom on the sd card (verify the md5sum) and do a nandroid/flash from your recovery. edit: Looks like Press/Hold Vol down + Camera + power button during boot to get into recovery. Once in recovery, there should be an option to let you install custom roms from zip. deong fucked around with this message at 21:29 on Nov 1, 2010 |

You can use collins tweak to specify a speed by running batt-cfg in adb shell. It has 2 defaults, the 691 and 768. If you want to get randy, you can tell it what you want to run at. I put it at 768 while on ac/usb charge, then 710 for unplugged use. like utonium mentioned, your max clock speed is device dependent, but a lot are successful at the full 768. Check the 2nd post of that link to Deca's kernel. It's got the tweaking magic settings at the bottom.

God Exists. posted: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.

ddogflex posted:Holy crap, changing the system font is easy. I've been looking around for what to do off and on today and then thought "why not just copy/paste a ttf over DroidSans.ttf with Root Explorer". I did it, it worked. Hooray for Helvetica Light. Why the hell haven't I seen this as a suggestion on how to do it? You don't scan every one of the android threads? hah. When changing your system font that way, make sure to #chmod 644 /system/fonts/*, and #chown root:root /system/fonts/*; I've gotten into boot loops due to incorrect permissions.

Invader Tim posted:From the rudimentary understanding of it that I have, without rooting I don't think I am missing anything outside of screenshots, removing stock apps and removing all the ads. Tethering for free is why a lot root to start. Biggest thing is OS updates/optimizations for me. I'm on an HTC Hero, and the cyanogen ROM is much faster than the stock image. I don't much attention to DroidX, but I'd guess its in the same boat.

So I'm trying to get into T-mo, what phone do I grab. The G2 or the MyT4g? I don't care about the keyboard really, but rootability is big. Since Cyanogen runs a G2, I'm thinking I might go w/ that. Does the MyT4g run cyanogen etc? I don't think I can let my guard down for the Nexus S to be honest.. maybe after it comes out I can ditch whichever on craigs and grab the nexus s. I need to get away from my drat hero, its soo loving slow.

Steve loves his and it looks like it will be supported for quite a while. Cool, thanks for the heads up. It's crazy. This phone has 100% w/o signal ofcourse, and the bitch still has 10% life after 1d0h9m. My hero is dead in 8 hrs on a good day, with good signal and no use outside of autosyncing.

Might be something with your recovery image. I had an issue before with my hero, that doing a wipe would not delete everything. I was having some really odd issues until I changed my recovery image, it would not do a proper wipe.

Urfdser posted:Forgive my stupid question. I rooted my Evo a few weeks ago. Never changed off Sense cause I like it. My question is about what I do in the future. I'm guessing if Sprint pushes an OTA update I refuse it. I bought Clockwork a while back too, should I just use that to install Fresh and not worry about things? I'm just wary of breaking the phone itself or breaking root but I also would like 2.3 at some point. If you updated your recovery image (sounds it, clockwork) when you did the root, then the OTA update will fail if it even downloads it. Normally you won't even get the update prompt, but since you didn't change the rom you may. Clockwork will refuse to load it though. Then, wait 3 hrs and check out XDA. They'll have the update baked into a stock rom normally. Install that and restart the cycle.

Root guide from XDA This will work with software versions 1.29.651.1 and 1.56.651.2 (aka Android 1.5). CM6.1 works well on the Hero. I wouldn't bother with Rom Manager, I always had issues with it with my Hero. Just put the cm6.1 update.zip on your /sdcard/ root and flash from clockwork/ra-amon. Really its pretty straight forward. Just be sure to read all the way through once or twice before you begin and you should be fine.

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.

Since you've already got root, just wait a few hours and someone will have the update hacked for root users. Someone will put out the OTA updated just enough to be able to apply it. Run your nandroid before the update of course.

My phone also seems to randomly reboot, albeit very rarely. It hasn't been enough to be a bother, but I bet as soon as it force closes on me in the middle of a game of angry birds or something I'll be mad. If your mostly after SMS/MMS and call log, just get into the habit of installing SMSBackup+. It backs up to gmail so you can search through old text, and lets you back them onto the phone if needed.
