Rooting for the average Joe.. Laymans terms

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
go to the above link and download the latest version of this app called SuperOneClick. The newest version should be at the bottom. download the program to your computer. Unzip the file and extract whats inside. Once this is done open the folder where the files have been extracted to and run the application that says SuperOneClick. In there you should click the first button which says ROOT. Let the program run and do its thing.
if you do not get any errors.. restart your phone.. there should be a couple of new apps there.. one being superuser and another being ROM manager. both are very important. you should now be rooted! (basically same as jailbreaking iphone, or unlocking any phone)
If ROM manager isnt there, go into the market and download the free version. once this is downloaded open the application and in there you will see a button (first button up top) that says "flash ClockWorkMOD recovery". If that tells you that the recovery image has been flashed you are good to go!
certain things are going to ask you for superuser permissions.. a black screen will pop up asking for these permissions.. always click yes... and make sure the remember box IS checked that way it will only ask you once not every time you access that program.
SECOND: You should download a ROM of your choice. i chose to go with bugless beast rom. it is awesome. if you want this ROM you can go to this link ( http://www.droidforums.net/forum/bu...bugless-beast-v0-6-2-1-gingerbread-froyo.html ) and click one of the mirrors to download. this file will also be in the form of a zip file download this to your computer BUT DO NOT UNZIP OR OPEN IT. plug in your phone to the computer via the usb cable and when it asks what you want to do click "open to view files". this will give you access to all files on your SD memory card. so now once you have the folder open.. open the folder where you just downloaded the attached file. the name of the file is "frg83dv062.zip" ... once both windows are open, take the zip folder from the download folder copy it to your SD card.
once this is done (should take 30 seconds to a few mins) you can unplug your phone.
Turn the phone off.
wait a couple of seconds... then restart your phone by holding X on the slideout keyboard and the power button at the same time.
This will start you in recovery mode.
in recovery mode you will see a list of options:
reboot now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/ factory reset
wipe cache partition
install zip from sd card
nandroid
partition menu
advance
using the directional pad on the slide out keyboard scroll down to nandroid. it will ask you to create folder just click ok. then click yes. This will back up everything on your phone so that you can always go back to it.
once this finished on the slideout keyboard hit the delete button to go back. Then scroll down to install zip from sd card. this will bring up all files on your sd card. Scroll down until you find the file frg83dvo62.zip. click ok. and it will give you a list with like 10 things that say no n 1 that says yes. click yes. n let it do its thing. once this is done go back and click reboot now. it will take a few mins to load on the reboot because its a total change in looks and framework so let it do its thing.
NEXT: setting up for some optimum speed tweaks.
download a kernel. my kernel i chose to go with is p3droids low voltage 1200 kernel but you can choose any one you want. this can be found here: http://www.p3designs.info/kernels/ .. download this to your computer BUT DO NOT UNZIP OR OPEN IT. again plug in your phone to the computer via the usb cable and when it asks what you want to do click "open to view files". this will give you access to all files on your SD memory card. so now once you have the folder open.. open the folder where you just downloaded the attached file. once both windows are open, take the zip folder from the download folder copy it to your SD card.
once this is done (should take a few seconds) you can unplug your phone.
Turn the phone off.
wait a couple of seconds... then restart your phone by holding X on the slideout keyboard and the power button at the same time.
This will start you in recovery mode.
in recovery mode you will see a list of options:
reboot now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/ factory reset
wipe cache partition
install zip from sd card
nandroid
partition menu
advance
using the directional pad on the slide out keyboard scroll down to nandroid. it will ask you to create folder just click ok. then click yes. This will back up everything on your phone so that you can always go back to it.
once this finished on the slideout keyboard hit the delete button to go back. Then scroll down to install zip from sd card. this will bring up all files on your sd card. Scroll down until you find the 125-1200-v32kernel.zip file. click ok and then scroll to yes. this will install a new kernel. aka make the phone faster and have better battery life.
restart phone normally.
last thing you really need is a program called setCPU which will change things with the kernel making it either faster or slower. click this link ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419 ) scroll to the bottom of the original post and download the latest versionn.. setCPU v2.10.0.zip.. download it to your computer. open it!.. inside you will find a file that has an ending of .apk. again plug your phone into your computer and open to view files. click the file ending in .apk and drag it to your sd card INTO A FOLDER NAMED downloads. once done unplug and you are good to go. a couple good applications you can use to navigate through your sd card are es file manager or astro file manager both available for free in the market. This will allow you to look through all of you files on your sd card. go into whichever program you prefer and go to the downloads folder. click on the setCPU apk and it will popup saying either browse file or open app manger. click open app manager and then click install.
once this is installed you can set it up like this: it will ask you for superuser permission click yes.
once it is opened it may give you the options to autodetect device. if not hit the menu button on your phone and hit device selection scroll down to autodetect device. it will detect your kernel. You can set the options however you want but i set the options up like this:
max :900000
min:125000
scaling: ondemand
set on boot CHECKED
click profiles: check the box for enable
click add profile
profile: screen off
max: 500
min:125
profile: battery <30%
max: 700
min: 125
profile: temp >40degrees Celsius
max: 500
min: 125
next go to advanced tab
click set on boot box.
sampling rate: 100000
Up threshold: 90
ignore nice load: 0
powersave bias: 0
restart the phone and you should be golden!
Any questions feel free to ask and ill try my best to answer.

Works!
Confirmed working on FRG83G (2.2.2)
However, it was necessary to install motorola drivers first (www.motorola.com/support)

I need to add this post to my favorites. Now that I have finished experimenting on Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini Pro, Motorola Droid is my next "victim."

This is great. This is my first time doing something like this. Been considering it heavily. Now this makes it real easy. Can someone recommend overclock settings for Moto Droid?
Edit: never mind. guess i cant read very well. see his recommended settings. but I guess I would still like to ask what overclock settings everyone else is using. are his good, or should I go higher. Already notice it runs a good amount faster which was my huge complaint about the Droid since the 2.2 update.
Also. had issues installing the custom ROM, just installed the kernel. Read in other places about having to clear data/cache at some point. not exactly sure at which point to do this, could someone help me? because I tried to reboot it after installing it and is just sat loading for at least 15-20 mins before I had to pull the battery. The guide says it takes a few minutes, but I know it doesnt take That long.

Finally getting around to doing this and found out that the clockworkmod isn't available for 2.1 anymore. Anyone got an old .apk that I can install (the new version gives me the parse error)?

sweet thx!!!!

[Q] ClockPackage on di11igaf's

Issue 1: I'm trying to install ClockPackage.apk, Gallery3D.apk, MyFiles.apk in order to have the stock clock. I keep getting the error "Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]" when i try to use the command adb install (any of the 3).apk. I have also tried "adb push" which doesn't seem like a valid command. I tried moving the 3 apk files to my sd card on the phone and using "installer" and "eoeAppinstaller" from the market and these fail as well. Any more suggestions? I really like this di11igaf's ROM, but I cannot stand the new alarm ( i like the gradual volume increase of the stock). I have tried a couple of market clocks, but they just didn't work for me. Thank you very much in advance.
Issue 2: If I use CWM and choose Reboot into Recovery i get the following:
Android system recovery <3e>
Samsung Recovery Utils
- for BML -
Enter OK Key, Select : Vol UP / Vol Down
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
format internal sd card
update media, please wait

Finding update package...

Installation aborted
At this point I can use the volume buttons to scroll up and down, but the power button will not select anything. The only thing I can do is remove the battery and boot the phone back up, which then takes me into CWM recovery v2.5.1.0. I was able to install the di11i add on, but I don't think that I'm supposed to be pulling the battery to get to this point.
Thanks again and sorry about the long post.

Im no expert on this type of stuff but I use di11i roms and I just transfer apk's to the root of the phone through the regular mass storage mode and use root explorer for the rest.Havent had any problems yet.

As for issue 2 is the package a .zip file? If not that may or may not be the problem.

From my own personal experience the 3dapp isn't sign so I can't install it too

System apps are best copied manually into the /system/app folder using app like root explorer. Make sure the folder is in r/w mode.

+1 you can simply use root explorer to copy the apk files into \system\app folder. quick and easy.

It is a zip file and it installed. What concerned me was the process. Should it have frozen up like that and forced a battery pull? Nothing I've read leads me to believe that was proper behavior of the CWM.

I don't have that directory. Are you creating it on the phone and then putting the files into it? I may have not been clear on what I am trying to do. I am trying to do what was posted in this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11207089&highlight=clockpackage#post11207089 posts #2515

I just looked into exactly what you were talking about and I got it figured out.It wasnt installing for me either but this is what I did and it works now.
Through mass storage mode I copied the 3 files to the root of the card.
Then I moved the files to the app folder which is inside the system folder.
I use root explorer for the moving.
When you move them into the app folder its gonna ask to overwrite say yes.
After you get everything moved it will work if you go to the app in the drawer.I never actually installed anything but did an overwrite.

u cannot see it in my files. u need to have root access, and something like root explorer.

So it looks like I could have just copied and pasted the files from the sdcard/Clock folder I placed them in to the /system/app folder using Super Manager. I swear I tried that and it failed before I went through all the crappy steps below. Oh well.
Ok this is going to sound pretty cheap, but I didn't want to pay the ~$4.02 for an ap that I was going to use three times. I did find another way. I used Super Manager and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877316&highlight=installing+apk post #3.
So for any other cheapskates out there.
1. Install Super Manager on phone
2. Install ADB on pc
3. Connect phone to pc and copy the three files ClockPackage.apk, Gallery3D.apk, and MyFiles.apk to the sd card. (I just drag and dropped in windows explorer)
4. Use Super Manager to move to /system/app/ and rename the existing file Gallery3D.apk (I renamed it to Gallery3D.old)
5. Use adb to copy the 3 files from the directory in which you originally placed them on the phone to /system/app/
in adb type:
adb shell
su
(accept the prompt on your screen)
cd /sdcard/whereveryoustuckfile
cp blahblahblah.apk /system/app/ (the red from Pirateghost).
6. Reboot
The clock and alarm work fine, but I cannot get Daily briefing option in alarm to work. I get a FC. I did install the "apk add on pack for 5.6" post 3 of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897416 , but I dont think Daily Briefing was included in that. Any suggestions? And one last thing - what is the di11iBrowserfix.zip from post 3 of the thread above for? Thanks again to all who contributed.

I got the daily briefing working. Everything is almost perfect, but I would like two things still.
1. Is there anyway to change the tune that is played when you have smart alarm selected? I have a different tone selected, but I think once you select smart alarm it defaults to that new age tone.
2. My alarm goes off, I stop it, but then I have to unlock it before I see the daily briefing. Can anyone think of a way to have the phone unlock when I turn off the alarm. I know it is so insignificant, but it used to do that when it was stock and it was pretty cool.
Come one guys and gals - don't make me figure this one out by myself j/k but seriously I have surprised myself already by getting this far and I really don't have skill or knowledge for the last two things. I'm learning though....slowly.

Thread etiquette
Did I do something wrong here? I got some really quick responses to my questions before, but nothing on my latest. I ask this next question with all seriousness - should I have started a new thread since it's kind of a new topic? No worries either way, I just want to post in the the most effective way. Thanks. BTW, my phone is working great. I'm getting ready to install 6.0 GPS is a little screwy - often has me west of my location by about 30 meters by I attribute that to the phones hardware. Other than that I have no complaints (except for the lame smart alarm tune)

Diablo, I know this totally off topic and I´m sorry, but I´ve just seen your signature and noticed you run di11igaf´s 6.0 on Glitterballs and as I´m not able to post on development yet, here´s my question:
Will I have too much trouble on flashing another kernel over the di11picKle? I was happy with speedmod + jk4... that was the best working config for me so far...
Just keep in mind I´m a noob

you should start a topic instead append to other's topic.
you can flash any kernel/modem using CWM, just make sure it is i9000's.

Nope. Get the CWM flashable zip, and copy to ur sdcard. Then go to CWM recovery console, and install this zip. Reboot.
But, please take a nandroid backup, and try to avoid OC kernels if u r unsure ur phone can handle it. Phones freeze when tried to oc beyond their capability.

2) I have the R8

you have to play with unlock boot loader (be carefull)
flashing kernel (easy)
partitioning sdcard (ext2/ext3/ext4) (lot steps)
or
Download all the app U like with browser instead market
(because when download using market we don't have the installer for the app)
download the app.apk and save it in one folder and just name it apk folder..
so everytime u change your rom, u can simply instal it again and again, and again..
I just use this trick!!

Ok I will do it. Do you know some websites with apk ?
And the sound at the starting of the phone do you know how to take it off ?

some app.apk u can simply google it..
but almost paid app.apk are not allowed!
I just buy a paid app.apk dvd with my friend
About the boot sound U have to search it your self..
I'm not sure about your rom rite now (R8)??
but u can try this
install root explorer (phone need rooted)
(this app same like file manager but it can see phone and system files)
you can simply search the boot animation folder
on phone directory instead sdcard
search one by one folder
when u get the boot sound or boot animation u can simply delete
(If can't delete) click on "mount RW" on the top right
sory long explaination..

[NAND][NANDROID] ATTISOID first release [29.2.2012]

Hi Guys! I finally can release my first customized themed ROM from SP3DV build! This is my daily use ROM and think it is so good to share it.
I'd prefer to shared the NANDROID (backup restore) but maybe upload the usual installing .zip file in next days. The major advantages of this rom is that it can boot with SD CARD inserted (It work for me and hope to work with any SD CARD type). Also use an app (tasker) that prevents rebooting after any missed call.
FEATURES:
- Based on CyanogenMod 7.1 Android 2.3.7
- This is a MOTO BLUR themed rom. (I don't use the BLURHOME launcher becouse it is so heavy for X1. Instead I use a blur theme for Great GO LAUNCHER EX)
- Changed Bootanimation with a 3D CYANOGENMOD7.
- JAVA enabled (For installing .jar files).
- New WALLPAPERS.
- 3 new AOSP themes Added (MOTOBLUR, ANASTASDROID, ROVER BLACK).
- Customized framework-res.apk.
- US text-to-speech (tts) Added.
- Changed the default FONT with the CHINT font.
- used the last Zargloub's kernel (gf111062 - 28.2.2012).
- CPU Max and Min frequency customized (128~614MHZ).
ADDED:
- Go launcher ex with BLUR theme, Go locker, Go locker themes, Go taskmanager, Go weather.
- Gauge battery widget.
- X-plore.
- Smart keyboard pro.
- Multitasking pro (With long press of home key it appears).
- Ucbrowser and Ucxunlei (a great chinese downloading app).
- Audio effect.
- TASKER (A good replacement of chinese Newding) [Great Thanks to BORKISHA and other guys that introduce it].
REMOVED:
- Stoke Android Keyboard.
- Old CMWALLPAPERS.
- CM7 old themes.
- Newding
BUGS:
THIS ROM IS UNROOT! So there are some bugs like wifi problems!

IMPORTANT NOTE:
There are not something special in that build! just can find a way to prevent SD CARD checking while boot! I find that if the build be unroot it can't stuck while boot! I try 4zroot for unroot but it can't reroot! When the build be unroot some bugs appear! If the unroot-reroot problem solves, can say that the SD CARD problem finally can be solved!

first one unbelivable it really works with sdcard inserted nice job attisa!!!!
my simcard can't get detected with this rom

Hi, thanks for this. I've just installed it. Whats wrong with wifi? its showing an "error" message and its not finding any network. Also, are GAPPS included ?

Could you tell us what did you do to fix SDcard problem to fix another roms because I really like IceDroid
Thanks

The simplest way is that use 4zroot.apk for unroot-reroot the device!

So, just load it up, click unroot then reboot, then run again and chose reroot?

for me it gives force closes and system is totally messed after unroot and i'm not able to reroot...
but boot works with sdcard inserted...

Just like me
Wifi doesn't work anymore

what kind of crap you posted attisa didn't you tried it before?
but solution is near...
wifi is also messed up for me...
EDIT: oh ok i understand this is the mod you did to the rom but i prefer to remove sdcard than to have no su rights and no wifi
but pretty good the solution is near
you only should mentioned the problems more clearly and earlier...

I think all of these problems are as result of shell rooting
If there is a way to could full root the NAND roms, all problems will gone (missed call reboot, SDcard, wifi, ...)

If it ok I share tasker and it's settings
What are the Phone Offhook and Phone Idle ?

Sorry OP, but i have to close this. Next time, do not include paid software in your release..

It's because it cant fit in the system partition. Quentin himself made a little guide, how to make a bootable zip from the new nightlies. HERE it is. I deleted the Live Wallpapers and some other stuff i would disable anyway.

Sory for my poor english!

Yes, the newest nightly doesnt have live wallpapers by default. You have to delete some other stuffs.
Ringtones, some fonts are safe to delete. (and those asian fonts eats up at least 8Mb...)

I can't make it work too. I tried to delete some stuff, but I don't know what is safe to delete or not.
I don't need Live Wallpapers and so on, but the apk isn't in the zip file anymore.

Try booting ROM form that post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32403158#post32403158
Its already prepared for booting. Before that you better wipe all user data and cache - it should work after that

The installation worked, but my Milestone stuck while the boot logo is shown.
Edit: Works after a restart, but now it tells me every minute that text-to-speech has crashed. >.<

I have just tried out the latest rom from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445209
(I am currently running CM9)
It boots to a blank screen with just the bar at the top, which seems to work, but no home screen to be seen :crying:
I understand there won't be a wallpaper, but I should see icons, right?
I have cleaned all the caches and reset to factory before installing, but nothing ..
I do not have the /data partition though, is that necessary?
Thanks,
B.

You should have wallpaper, only the live wallpapers were deleted by default.
I guess, the problem is your /data partition. It's necessary to wipe it if you upgrade your rom. Wiping it should solve your problem.

Well, after some restarts it's working. But Angry Birds isn't running and World of Goo is lagging. Isn't the great project butter working?

Hmm, I don't have a /data partition yet ... I guess that is the problem.
Question: If I create a new SD card with a FAT32 partition at the start and an EXT3 at the end, can I just copy my phone SD card contents
including hidden files to the FAT32 partition, put it in the phone and all will be good?
I am guessing that the OS will find the partition and create a mount point for it and that I don't have to do that, right?
Thanks,
B.

Project Butter improves the reactiveness of the UI and increases the framerate.
But the reason for games not working is a lack of RAM (in 90% of the cases).
To circumvent this you need to use a kernel that supports zRAM and/or swap.

So I created the card with the new partition and it works fine with my CM9 backup from nandroid.
When I try to install CM10 I deleted all the caches, factory reset etc and installed CM10.
When it eventually booted to the setup wizard, I enter all the information and it says it is complete, but then on exit the wizard dies and I am left with the status bar and a black screen ..
I tried re-booting, but it won't boot until I go and delete the caches etc again ..
What's wrong?:crying:

Did you wipe everything from recovery? Because doing a Factory Reset might not be enough.

What does "Did you wipe everything from recovery" mean? If you mean did I execute all of the three menu options in recovery, then yes I did that.
However, I do have it going now ... but only after many resets .. and I got stuck on the setup app crashing ..
I am using it and have found it a bit flakey .. slows down at times and the keyboard goes away sometimes, I have to use the hard keyboard.
EDIT: Found the reason for that was voice typing was on for some reason.
I also noticed that the font is very light (alsmost un-readable) in contacts, I have to hold the phone at an angle to be able to read the names.

Here is the cure for the font problem:
Open "HWA Settings" and disable "Contacts" and "Messaging".

Cool thanks, that did it ..:good:
So what is "HWA Settings" anyway?

If an app don't need hardware acceleration, than it will ask the system to not to do it, but sometimes it's just not working properly and with HWA Settings we can disable the hw acc on that app.
