Hi, I've did everything, rooted, rc30 and etc.
but I've checked the Sdcard today after some heavy web browsing, and it looks like there is still nothing there. I looked at the applications memory, I used 10MB... Is it still putting it on the phone memory?
and plus when I tried moving the cache to the sd card again, and typed in, "cd /data/data/com.android.browser/cache" it said cannot cd to that directory.
hmmm, wtfs wrong?
samething with the market...

it cannot CD to the directory because it does not exist.
Alright, so is that supossed to happen then? Why isn't it moving the cache to the cache folder in the sdcard? I've just done the market one and it worked perfectly.
I was having a similar problem. Just get JF's 1.31 update and do this:
Browser Cache
cd /data/data/com.android.browser/cache
rm -R webviewCache
mkdir /sdcard/cache/webviewCache
ln -s /sdcard/cache/webviewCache webviewCache

are you in root?
in terminal emulator, make sure you type su first.
It will change the $ to # denoting you have root.

after wiping rooting and updating to rc33 jf1.41 the walkie talkie app force closes upon opening it any help would be greatly appreciated to get it running again.
edit. The application walkie talkie - push to talk (process com.rcreations.ptt) has stopped unexpectedly.

not really sure how well that would work .. do you have everything moved to EXT2?
/data/app -> /system/sd/app
/data/app-private -> /system/sd/app-private
/data/data -> /system/sd/data
have you been to the blog?? http://hit-mob.com/
there's some statement about recoding for RC33

try your "ls -l" screen on things like
#ls -l /data
#ls -l /system/sd
seems strange that it would be isolated to that one app .. unless there's more going on

Yes, I can confirm this absolutely does work. Joeykrim and I spent the better part of an hour working on my Epic and hammering out the kinks. I now happily have root access, and there are no words to describe how happy I am to have QuickBoot and AdFree Android back up and running
Awesome Ill be giving this a shot tomorrow. Thanks for all the hard work!

I assume this is just a quick fix until kernel source is released? (due to lack of apply:update.zip in the recovery)
Now i know this is a noob question and all, but;
How do i adb in ubuntu?
I have the environment all set up, eclipse, adt, and the sdk...im just lost after that...
Does the root still intact after reboot?

Always do a backup first!
THIS WILL WIPE DATA
GINGERBREAD AOSP
*Credits for bravoc vendor files go to cyanogenMod*
*Credits for kernel work go to Defer and Kali*
GingerBread Mostly AOSP v1.1 this is as close to AOSP i could get to build the fixes to get it to compile come from cyanogen the credits for the theme got to roberj13 (Blue Energy)
I recommend installing "Blue ADW Theme" from Sean York from the market not needed but completes the blue look and the water-fire wallpaper on the blue energy post
Ubuntu 10.10 Setup script
This should ease the pain of setting up a build environment for building gingerbread, this is based on what it took mee to set up and is not garenteed to work but im offering as some help use at your own risk, this will setup environment and sync the repo of the branch u choose
from a fresh copy of ubuntu 10.10 64-bit run this script

Awesome. Can't wait to try it.
subscribed. patiently waiting for port of froyo 2.2 to uscc desire.
Good to see youy got it going
A definite yes to apps2ext. Also, will your 2.2 include sense?
i will upload my app2sd and yes the version i am trying to port will have sense

I am hoping for sometime this week depending on if i can get the wifi and bluetooth working as this was the only issues i have found so far
would love a version with apps2sd...not really intersted in wifi tethering as my work provides me with a thinkpad with built in mobile broadbrand...
Thanks for your hard work...
cant wait for 2.2
you da man

I would also love a version with apps2sd! Thanks for working on this. Does anyone know what htc apps are safe to remove? I want to get rid of footprints, stocks, etc. Are those safe to delete?
stock twitter and news were removed from this version forgot to mention that
Those are safe to remove from the stock rom correct?
Mediafire link not working.
apparently media fire is down so im uploading to another site, and yes those are safe to remove, atleast they jave not caused any issues on my phone yet

I ran all this without a single problem on my USCC Desire. Best to back it all up just to be safe.
Code:
cd /system/apps
rm HtcFootprints.apk
rm HtcFootprints.odex
rm com.htc.FriendStreamWidget.apk
rm com.htc.FriendStreamWidget.odex
rm FriendStream.apk
rm FriendStream.odex
rm com.htc.StockWidget.apk
rm com.htc.StockWidget.odex
rm YouTube.apk
rm myspace.apk
rm Stock.apk
rm Stock.odex
rm Facebook.apk
rm HtcFootprintsWidget.apk
rm HtcFootprintsWidget.odex
rm teeter.apk
rm teeter.odex
rm HtcTwitter.apk
rm HtcTwitter.odex
rm com.htc.TwitterWidget.apk
rm com.htc.TwitterWidget.odex
rm ToneRoom_04.07.2010.apk
rm HtcFacebook.apk
rm HtcFacebook.odex
rm CityID.apk
Then you have a bunch of data files in /data/data you can get rid of.
to the OP: Glad to here you got something going on this device. Looking for a big jump in performance with froyo.
edit: You can back up each app you remove from a remote install of adb by
Code:
adb pull /system/app/filename.apk
adb pull /system/app/filename.odex
noobish ? as android is a new ground for me...
what does one have to do for a backup?
can I use the built in one in bootloader or do i have to do a nandroid backup?
sorry for the noobish ?

ps.. Hey Blkqi, how much memory did u get back from removing those apps?
to do a backup you would need the custom recovery and there is an option in recovery to do a backup. APP2SD rom has been uploaded working on the other as media fire seems to be down

If you boot to recovery, and do a backup from there, you should be set.

I got that kernel to go after so many tries but when you try to do root.bat it freezes the entire phone however I do have root access via adb shell from command prompt but that's it and when trying to issue the remount command on /system it freezes also.

It might be promising however I've been working on this all night and haven't gotten anywhere except for root access within command prompt. As soon as you type root.bat the first thing it does is adb shell mount -o rw,remount /system but the entire phone freezes! I can't seem to get past this freezing crap because you can't do anything with the phone when it freezes it.

If it's giving you root access in a terminal, could you not push the root files that way? Or do you have to remount to do that? I honestly don't know is why I ask. Would love to root this beast, but I'm not a lot of help with the more deep down technical stuff.

You have to remount the system as writable otherwise trying to write a file to system doesnt work, and as soon as I issue the command adb shell mount -o rw,remount /system then phone just freezes but I'm looking into an answer for that but no luck so far.

No it's supposed to remount the system as writable because I need to be able to push su into /system/xbin but when I try to it gives me the error system READ only which means I cannot write to it. And if I were you be prepared to lose everything and factory reset in the end otherwise it's not going to hold no WiFi passwords or nothing every time I reboot I need to rein put all the WiFi crap and it's getting annoying.

I'm pretty much where you are at. I don't think DM-Verify is turned off in the kernel but it is a eng one. If you get tired of it just flash the boot.img below and you will be back to normal. It says PI1 but it should work fine if you are on MM. I flashed it on PL4 no problem.

Yeah I already flashed back but apparently I'm going to have to factory reset again anyway because after flashing the original kernel it still won't keep my WiFi passwords saved and I have to keep redoing it.
---------- Post added at 12:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 PM ----------
I'm curious as to why the file system would deny me to mv su from my sdcard into /system/xbin when I'm ROOT... But if I so much as try to mount it as re writable it freaks out and freezes. But I can adb shell mount -o rw,remount / and adb shell mount rw,remount rootfs / with no issue but just that /system absolutely will not.

I feel like it's infuriating because root is right there but just out of reach. I've been using my m8 because I have root and my screen is peeling on my note, so if someone wants to shoot me some instructions, I can see what I get.

I really don't think you should try right now considering that both myself and @Misterxtc know what we're doing already and there really isn't much point in trying to give instructions out just to end up in the same exact situation we are.
And by the way, there is root. It's just in the console that's it!
By the way you can adb pull the /efs/carrier/HiddenMenu from the phone to your computer and change it and then push it back and then viola secret codes in the phone dialer work such as *#0*# and many others! If you do change it reboot before it'll take effect. Also it will remain this way even with doing a factory reset.
