Is there anyway to start Astro as root so you can use it to edit system directories?
I had wished for the same thing.. but i didnt tell nobody.. soo maybe this will be more effective. prevents having to type in the terminal all the time.. not that its bad.. ive learned so much allready since ive had this phone...
I totally agree! That would be perfect! Maybe there a way of editing the code or smth...
If you can't work *MORE EFFICIENTLY* directly from the terminal, then you definitely should NOT have root access via GUI.

Pretty much this. It seems like most of the people having problems on this website just want root because it's "kewl" but really have no idea what it is or even have a clue on how Linux works.
I actually Emailed the Dev of Astro about this same question and here was his reply.
Here is the email copied and pasted from gmail.
My question
Are you able to make a version that requests root access to delete chmod rename move etc for the 100,000+ users from xda and other boards with root access?

Considering the fact that I'm a Systems Administrator as my profession and work with hundreds of Linux/Unix/Windows servers a day, the whole reason why I bought the G1 was for development and tinkering, the fact that my home PC is running Vista x64 (i haven't gotten around to creating a VM or messing with the drivers), and that I do wipes frequently to test different configurations, I'm pretty sure I'll be ok with root access. I'm just tired of manually doing something on that tiny keyboard that can easily be done with a nice pretty GUI. I stare at consoles all day and thousands of lines of black and white text, when I come home I don't exactly want to be anywhere near a terminal.
Also, why bother doing anything on a phone, other than using it as a phone (or for email, texting, etc.), if you don't do it because it's "kewl". I mess with my phone because it's cool to have a mini-*nix based computer with several fun radios on it. If I do something stupid like type "rm -Rf /*" after logging in as root (never going to happen) then that's my own fault.
I don't care if you're a Unix purist and you write up your office reports, spreadsheets, and diagrams in vi. Good for you, you're wasting time that can be better spent on other things because of your stubborn prejudice against GUI's. I asked a question, because I have a reason for that question. If you don't have any answers to that question, then please don't bother replying.

I looked into the commands to launch an application from the CLI and found that Astro can be started using the following command:
am start -n com.metago.astro/.FileManagerActivity
However, this doesn't do us any good, since the dalvik VM will take that command and create a process as a sandbox user regardless of what user executes that command. There looks like there's a way to tell the VM to fork the process as a specific uid and gid, but that requires editing the AndroidManifest.xml.
I'm not too good with Java, and I don't know how strict Android's API is, so I don't know if running an apk application as root is even possible.
However, I do know that running commands from inside an application, like su, is possible.

Solved--Astro with root...(workaround)
kinda late, but in case anyone wants to know this is what I did.
This way technically doesnt allow astro to run with root, but its just as good.
I originally did this a few months back for my G1, and just mod it a little to work on my nexus
- created a script to mount system as rw
- created a script that gives r/w permission to all app directories (/data, /data/app, /data/app-private, /system, /system/app, /system/sd, ...) and all apps inside those directories
-then merged the 2 scripts and named it astro_root_perm
-installed GScript from the market
-created another script that
-first changes all permissions on apps back to what they started as(644, 640...)-then changes permissions of directories back to what they were-and finally remounts system back to ro, and named this script to astro_basic_perm
-used Gscript to create shortcuts of the 2 scripts to my home screen.
-then with bettercut, I changed the scripts' icons to the astro icon. I just colored the astro stock icons "A" green for one script and red for the other
So anytime I want to use astro as root, I just click the shortcut I made with gscript off my home screen, open astro,
Then when Im done with astro, I just run the other script
I know its not the same as running astro AS root, but it works for me.
Im not really a linux guy......I'd really appreciate if someone could help me with this next step
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Does anyone know what I need to include in a script to have it call/open a program automatic?
My ultimate goal is to create one script that will
Mount system rw
Change needed permissions to rw
Automatically open up Astro
Then change all permissions back when astro is terminated
Possibly create a keyboard shortcut for the G1
What do ya think?? is it possible??
Estrongs has limited root file browsing on some ROMs and SU File Manager or Root File Manager will let you browse as root for a small price.
+1 recommendation on Estrongs File Explorer's root option if you want it for free, includes Windows shares browsing over lan.
Otherwise try SUFBS, also has built-in terminal.

I'm not sure exactly how gscript handles things, but with a normal bash (shell) script, the lines are run sequentially. That is, the next line isn't run until the previous line is done. It would seem that you could put all that in one script, and the still-running script wouldn't change the permissions back until astro has ended. But then again, java adds complexity to it and I'm not sure if it works the same.

Love this idea! Unfortunatly I'm no coder but would love to see something like this created.
I created a "GodMode" script that does exactly this, email me if you want it, I can edit it to work for the G1.
Totally forgot I started this thread, then happened to find it on Google when looking for the same thing, again.
Went back to Windows Mobile for a little bit, missed Android, and now have a Samsung Vibrant.
Still want a way to use ASTRO with root priviledges, especially since I don't have a tactile keyboard anymore.

Hi all:
I have read and searched and tried and tried and FAILED. I can not enable sideloading on my Captivate after the JH7 update.
Is there any such thing as a "One Click Sideload Enabler".
Now, I don't mean something like the Wonder Machine, or Droid Explorer (which I am currently using to install apps). I mean a way to easily enable sideloading on the actual phone itself.
Before the update I used Unleash the Beast, which worked perfectly. Sadly it will not work after the update, and the developer seems to be gone
Any thoughts?
Thanks!!!
You need to root and then modify settings.db to allow side loading. I know of no other way. This is how i have done it in the past.
Hi:
That is the first thing I tried. I have tried to edit with sql lite, as well as root explorer, it shows the value of non-market apps changing to 1, then I transfer it back to phone, but I am still unable to install non-market apps.
I think a main part of the problem is that when I try to copy the settings.db file to desktop through cmd prompt, it does not copy. I actually had to use root explorer to copy it, then transfered it to PC, then made the changes.
I was actually hoping for something similar to what Unleash the Beast did. After you installed UTB, you could then just use Terminal editor to very easily enable sideloading. I believe UTB has a script of some sort which made that possible.
Thanks!
+1 for a non-market app / sideloading "update.zip" (JH7 compatible of course).
The problem with an update.zip format fix is that we'd essentially have to overwrite your settings.db, and you would lose any customization off of stock not already made.
Perhaps an update.zip that contained sqlite3 and a shell script ?
Hi:
Thanks so much to everyone who replied. After trying a million times, I was finally able to get sideloading enabled. It seems that my JH7 update hadn't properly flashed. After reinstalling the update things went smoothly.
Thanks again!
Glad to hear it.
Hello,
I'm running leaked version of 2.2 but apparently issue with any device which is rooted. I'm trying to get "Good for Enterprise" and market does not show it's as avaialble. Good support confirmed that they turned on "copy protection" on their application published to market. here is part of what SDK says
"Forward-Locked Applications
To forward lock an application, set copy protection to "On" when you upload the application to Market. Market will not show copy-protected applications on developer devices or unreleased devices."
Anybody has any idea how to circumvent this?

This was in the known issues thread on the first page of the forum, it should resolve the issue by tricking the market into thinking you are running JH7, a released firmware.

If you want to edit the file yourself:
1. Use rootexplorer or droid explorer, navigate to /system and look for the build.prop file.
2. Copy it to your sdcard or copmputer.
3. Mount your usb drive,

After much google searching, and searching here on XDA, I'm at a loss. I have the Allshare.apk and .odex, however I have had no luck installing them. I've tried various suggesions, including pushing them from adb shell, and nothing seems to work.
I would love to continue using custom roms, but not having Allshare is a big reason for me to just use rooted stock. The rom I'm trying to install it on is Cognition Beta (Froyo).
Titanium Backup also doesn't work for this. It tells me that it backed up Allshare, but when I try to install it, the restore button doesn't even show up.
Also, a quick question for Rom Manager. With the rom backup feature, can you only restore a backup for the rom you are using? (i.e if you want to restore a backup for another rom, you have to flash the rom first, then restore?)
Although posted in the wrong forum... I'd also like an answer to this. Running CDE and would really like to have AllShare to stream movies off my media server.

Not sure why this would be the wrong forum. I'm using a Captivate, and trying to install Allshare on a Captivate rom.
use root explorer and add them to System/app and paste both files there.

Still at square one. Altho the .apk and .odex are now in system/apps, it didn't affect anything. Also, looked up root explorer, and how to use it, then downloaded it. It won't remount my main file system as read only...so it's permanently in r/w now.
Also tried flashing to killer23d's rom, to use titanium backup on the allshare he has in his rom, still wouldn't work.
So....clueless at this point.

At one point, I had this same problem, and the only solution there is, is to reflash the rom. It's a PITA, I know. And don't worry about what your filesystem is mounted as in Root Explorer. After every reboot it reverts to read only again.

Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be my case. Even after reflashing Cognition, my file system is still R/W. Didn't even have to hit the white button on root explorer to paste files into system/app.
Also, adding dlna.apk and dlna.odex into system/app still isn't giving me Allshare.
Edit: Well, I've found a better solution. I'm gonna go with Killer23d's rom...looks alot more like stock Froyo, is based on the I9000, has Allshare, AND Mobile AP. Both features that I wanted.
Thanks for trying guys. If anyone does come up with a solution tho, please feel free to use this thread, as searching for allshare.apk on google results in this thread being either the 2nd or 3rd search result (can't remember).
Works for me.
I just put AllShare back in, using the attached file, and it's working fine.
I'm running Cognition 2.2 Beta 9.1.3 and put the file into "system\app" using Root Explorer.
I also changed the permissions of the file and selected just the following:
USER = READ + WRITE
GROUP = READ
OTHERS = READ
Remove any other checked permissions.
In case you don't know how to get into the permissions, just long-press the file, from within Root Explorer, and choose "Permissions" from the list that pops up.
Don't forget to reboot right after.
Your issue is most likely because you are trying to reintegrate an odex'ed AllShare while you are using a de-odex'ed ROM. Ozone777's file looks to be about the correct size for a de-odex'ed AllShare. Just move it into the /system/app folder with root explorer as mentioned above and you should be good to go.
I used terminal to drop the APK attached in the previous post into /system/app and it works beautifully. CogYo 2.2.9

First, I'm sorry if this is posted somewhere already. I spent numerous hours trying to block OTA updates following a post under Android Development... Link to post.
Having played with adb for hours and not being able to get sqlite working in cmd. I tried browsing to the file the script in the above post appeared to be editing with Root Explorer. To my surprise, when you click on the devicemanager.db file, Root Explorer gives you an option to buy SQLite Editor. Which I did.
Required Apps:
- Root Explorer (in market)
- SQLite Editor (in market)
Process:
1. Open Root Explorer
2. Open devicemanager.db from (/data/data/com.bn.devicemanager/databases/devicemanager.db)
3. Select "registry" - this should open up a spreadsheet looking file
4. Find row: com.bn.device.fota.mode
5. Drag over to the column labeled "value"
6. Press and hold "auto" until the "Actions" window pops up
7. Select "Edit Field"
8. Replace auto with manual
9. Select "Save"
Assuming this is what the scripts are doing, your nook color should now be blocking BN OTA updates. The best part is that you can do all of this from your nook color. Hope this helps!

Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm still a beginner. I thought I read threads where people were still getting the OTA update after editing/replacing the build.prop ... Plus, what happens when BN decides to release a new update? You would then have to change the build.prop again? Editing the registry value should prevent the device from ever checking for new updates. Seems like a cleaner fix to me.

Thanks for posting this. I'm sure it will help someone out. It would have been me a week or two ago. I was trying to figure out how to change this value to avoid the OTA and really didnt understand ADB, SDK, Sqlite or any of that then. when i first opened Root explorer i remember it asking me if i would like to purchase it and i declined, now if i only would have known how easy it could have been.

I agree. Changing the setting in devicemanager.db is A LOT cleaner than the build.prop fix.

Considering this is how all Android OTAs are determined.... eh, whatever floats your boat
Slightly off-topic: I made this change (in devicemanager.db) to disable B&N updates. Whilst in the database, I noticed a table called Tasks that has 5 entries with types 100, 101, 102, 3, 2. The types 100 & 2 are tagged as enabled, the others are disabled. They have a date_next_run column. I imagine this is some kind of scheduling. I haven't worked out the date format. Does anyone know what these tasks will do - I would imagine one of them forces a B&N update?

Thank you for this- It's nice to find a nice, easy, self-contained way to ensure my NC will stay the way I have set it up 'til I decide otherwise.
One question though- to make it stick shouldn't there be one more step-
10. Reboot?
Block OTA updates
Xboxexpert has posted a bat file for download in a zip file Block updates.zip. Has anyone used this?
I need instructions regarding running the bat file.
Do I load the contents of the zip file on my SD card or do I open a command prompt box?
What do I do to run this bat file?
Thank you.
I can't get the "actions" window to pop up.
Wow this is an awesome find. Can anyone verify that this did indeed work for them? I have my rooted NC running 1.1 smoothly with all apps running perfectly. My final task is to stop OTA's from triggering. I don't feel confident doing this via ADB but using this method on the NC seems easy. Does this sound the same thing as the bat file does from the other thread? Thank you all for your amazing help!
Followed the process listed here... so far so good, no resets.
I have been through this 4 times so far and have been unable to get it to stick. I have backed up the rom after installing sqllite and root explorer, modded the registry, rebooted and still getting the damn OTA. Anyone else having this issue or has figured out if there is another entry that needs to be edited to defeat this?
Nm, I edited the url that the fota uses to check for updates so it is "dead"
backedup the rom again and have yet to see fota from BN. *fingers crossed as this is annoying*
****NM this didnt work either****

Thanks khaytsus! I do believe that has done the trick. I went ahead and edited the build.prop versus pushing it but we will see how it fairs now that i have hit wifi back on
Does this method still works to prevent 1.2 ota update? it surely looks the easiest method of all.
Yes or no?
