hey guys im trying to do the 1 click root for my g1, but i dont seem to have a "root" folder on my sd card when i connect it to my computer... can anyone tell me why or try to help me? thanks
....
really?
....
Well if you can't find the "root" folder, then it looks like you have one of those rare phones that can't be rooted. Sorry. There are a few out there that had a defect in their software.
....
Yep. Sorry for your loss.
lol are u serious!?!?
You sir are the proud author of my favorite thread EVER!
There is no root folder, its just a way of saying put it on your sd card without putting it in any folder. Open the sdcard card and put the file in there. Thats it!
u can go ahead and call me an idiot lolol idc
as stated, theres no such thing as a root folder unless you create one. when someone says "put X in the ROOT of your SD card", what they mean is essentially this:
Your hard drive is C:\
THAT IS THE ROOT.
Everything else is secondary.
So essentially, just drop whatever it is on your sd card and make sure its NOT IN A FOLDER.
Oh man, if you couldnt figure out, YOU will have a tough time installing root. How about trying the one-click root application. The blog on my sig has a copy of it and how to install. good luck

I need to change between some sdcards, because I have a lot of videos and games that does not fit in only one sd...
But I have ap2sd, and I figure I need to clone ext partition to the others sd cards (phone hangs if I insert other sdcard) ...
So, that is the question... ¿How can I clone the ext partition of the working sdcard to the rest???
I tried Partion magic, and parangon, but the problem is that software aks to reboot to do the job, and out of windows the usb sdcard reader driver don´t work, and those applications can´t find it when reboot.
I tried ubuntu, but it said I am not (even I am root) the ownership of the files, and don´t let me copy and paste...
I tried G1 terminal with busybox, to copy /system/sd/ to another folder, but it said (even with SU) it can´t, even I see all apps and delvik folder and so on inside /system/sd/...
Any idea how can I do it??
THANKS
check your pm's

it involves commands that could be seen as a way to pirate other peoples work so the mods do not like to see them which i cannot blame them. i cannot recall the thread but i saw one where they edited a post that showed how to do pull apps.

Don't believe you can. Someone asked this question awhile back and forgot the reasoning why you couldn't do it. Someone could correct me if I'm wrong.

if he was using switchrom on his SD, wouldnt it work with the script in /system/sd/ ?
I'm assuming it's the apps you don't want to reinstall one by one.
grab this program

copy the .apk files from /system/sd/app to your PC
when you get your new phone root it and partition the sdcard like normal

thnx.. if i do this, then the market wud show my apps installed without having to install them one by one?
DUDE! INSTALL "BACKUP FOR ROOT USERS" it saves EVERYTHING about your phone to a folder in your sd card. what do i mean by everything? settings, apps, dictionary...install that and SAVE the file to your comp thatway when the replacement comes you can root and put that sd card that has the 3 partitions in there and go to the market and redownload backup for root users and then restore everything! its how i survive switching hero roms lol
Ok so I have been tinkering around for the past few trying to get the Fender Music app on my dream. Well I did it but the app sucks cause it's not FOR my device. And being that I don't know how to make it work right, I decided to go back with the stock app.
Enough rambling, you want the goods...
Backup before doing this cause I take no responsibility.
remove the .zip from the name.
Wouldn't hurt to resign it either...
Put the file in your theme's .zip. In the app folder within the .zip of course.
I don't know how to take screen shots but I will tell you to try it and you will like it. This works on my dream flawlessly. I hope the same for you...
This wasn't really that hard to do. Mostly because I don't know how to modify/make .9's nor these .xml's for that matter. But most of the visuals are what I have modified anyway so I don't see the need...
The one thing I have a problem with is the lack of album art. As soon as I figure that out, things will be nice!
This will be on my theme as soon as I get it out. I have grown to understand how long this takes for you themeer's out there. I thank you all for everything you do. But I would like to thank Binary for helping me understand the basics of things around here!!!
Which brings to my attention, this is based on CM 4.2.13......
screenshot.apk from market...
Thanks much. I was waiting for that actually though.
But that's what I will use when I have everything finished.
Knowing this environment though, I'll never finish...

You can take screenshots even easier with ddms.bat
In revision 4 just go to Device and Screen Capture (or whatever).
Simple.
Ok. Thank you. But I'm still going to wait until I finish my theme before I take screen shots. Until then, you'll just have to dl it to find out what it looks like...
Nice to see you getting so into this. If you want help with .9.pngs, Jairomeo taught me a nice trick that makes it very easy (assuming eclipse is set up).
Eclipse is set up I just don't know how to use it other than to start up a virtual android...
Gonna try it out now. I want to know what it looks like
/edit: here is the signed .apk (Or was it already signed?)
(push to system/app)
ok noob question lol... i downloaded the file but when i try to copy it to system/app folder it says file is read only.. something i missed?

You need to root your device...

yea. what he said.
This is outdated. I haven't had the time to work on it lately and I apologize for that. My theme hasn't seen any love for a few days either.
But it works and looks better than stock.
Here's how I install it.
Put music.apk in root sdcard folder. Use a file manager like Astro or And Explorer to navigate to it. Click it and install with package installer.
Enjoy!
I'm considering buying a HTC Vivid from AT&T, from what I've read, the bootloader for the AT&T Vivid is locked, but it is possible to temporarily unlock it. I also plan to overclock my phone, I've found custom kernels that can overclock the vivid, they say that the phone needs to be rooted. But is a temp root going to give me enough access to install the overclocking kernel? I have jailbroken consoles and HP Touchpad, but I haven't really played with Android or Linux. So if please excuse me if my terminology is used incorrectly. Thanks.
You can unlock the bootloader through HTC'S dev site and get perm root. Just follow the superguide in the development section and you will be good to go.

Thanks for the info. I'm new to this, after I rooted the phone, how do I install the app? I have an apk file and I tried using the Android Central SWM, but it doesn't work with my phone. I have also enabled the Applications from Unknown sources. But there's no way for me to install.
Edit: I saw that it installed an app called Superuser, but I can't install any apps through Superuser, do I need to put the apk file in a specific folder in order for Superuser to recognize it? Thanks.

you have some reading to do......
That was helpful. I was just looking for a way to install apps to my phone. So far it seems like maybe I can modify the .bat script from the temp root method to install .apk files that way, but that seems risky and I don't want to mess up my brand new phone.
Seems like this is the wrong site to ask, this is a developer site, so I guess I'll ask this somewhere else.

no, you just need to use some logic, and this little thing called SEARCHING
you want to install apps on your phone?
you just put them on your sdcard or download them from the phone itself, open a file manager, browse to the apk file and click on it. it will ask to install..... you are making this out to be way harder than it is. and you did not need root for that to take place. its a function of the OS, you dont need the computer in order to install apps.....this is all basic android stuff you could learn by using GOOGLE....
and you are right, this is a developers site, it is not a hold-my-hand site for noobs.....

No need to ask anywhere, google is your friend. Installing apps is very easy, and rooting isn't even necessary. As PG already said, it's as easy as using a file explorer, and also checking that box in the settings about unknown sources.
http://maketecheasier.com/install-applications-without-the-market/2011/01/28
Thanks for the link, those methods are definitely easier than what I did. I edited the temp root .bat file to copy the .apk file to the phone's internal memory, then I used Astro brower to browse to that directory, then install it from there.

dude, all you have to do is plug in your phone and when it asks you set it to disk mode...it shows up as another drive on your computer...you dont need to use any kind of bat file....this is all seriously generic and basic android usage. as i stated before:
you have some reading to do......
its not to be mean, but seriously, you are asking stuff like this in the same breath as ROOTING your phone. this type of stuff isnt meant to be taken lightly or without some READING and comprehension. know what you are doing to your phone before you royally screw it up....
at this rate, i have a feeling it wont be long before we see a help thread....
I don't understand either. Why not do it the apk way? That is the easiest method. It takes like twenty second to allow unknown sources, go to file manager, click on the apk and install it.

I downloaded Android Revolution HD and wanted to put it on my Internal Storage, but should I extract the files before I do that or leave it in the Winrar(zip) file instead of just to folder after extracting? because when I tried to install it with TWRP recovery and it just ended up showing a bunch of folders instead of installing everything. Then I tried putting the zip file on my internal storage and it coppied over kinda fast so I didn't want risk anything. I'm new to this so i dont want to screw anything up could someone please help

We all start somewhere. I enjoy seeing people who make accounts truly just to ask just a question. Shows the intiative and willingness to learn, and the cautiousness needed for this kind of stuff. Kudos to you, and good luck with your One. Remember, your best chance on the forums is reading!
It's also nice to see people giving decent answers for a change, we all know how 'catty' some members can be.
