First i should thank all the dev behind the rooting process , from inception to the current status... without your hard work , time spent , we wouldnt have had root.
Thanks to all......
now coming to the the topic..
is there any possibility of adding Orkut updates onto timescape ?
currently we have twitter , facebook , myspace ... i think those are possible through the API`s ( i am not anywhere near to programming )
orkut too has http://code.google.com/intl/en-US/apis/orkut/
so is there a way to edit timescape.apk to include orkut updates ?
just a thought...
It cud be possible. I will look into it tonite n will post smthing back.
thnks a lot...
wish many dev join in and give the comunity a added feature

For this, we need to edit the timescape application... which i dont know how to do.....
Orkut Updates at Timescape avaliable
I dont't know if I'm resurrecting a dead Thread, but it is already possible to have Orkut updates at the Timescape. The only thing you have to do is to push "Orkut_Plugin.apk" (attachment) into the "/system/app/" folder.
To do this, it's simple, just place the "Orkut_Plugin.apk" inside your memory card from the cellphone, disable the usb from phone to pc and execute these commands at the Windows Command Prompt:
Replace ADB_location for the location of your ADB files database.
cd ADB_location
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cat /sdcard/Orkut_Plugin.apk > /system/app/Orkut_Plugin.apk
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
exit

Sorry, but i'm not allowed to post outside links yet. Then you'll have to search the ADB files by your own, try "adb shell download" on Google.
If you download the "Android SDK", the ADB files are located at the "tools" folder.

Greetings gentlefolks.
This forum has been an absolute godsend. I managed to get the latest JF os installed and as such am thoroughly enjoying my G1.
In the past, I had a Windows Mobile phone from HTC. One of my favorite applications on it was Pocket Scheme because it enabled me to write code ON my phone. I'd love to eventually spend time working on software FOR my G1, but right now I'm interested primarily in writing code while on the train, in line, etc.
As far as I know, Pocket Scheme is not available on the Android. I also came across Ruby for Android [2], but so far it force closes as soon as I open it.
So:
1. Are there any languages that are available for writing code on the android? Something with either an included editor AND repl (like Pocket Scheme) or even just an editor (?) or a repl (like Ruby for Android) would be fine.
2. What editor for making "plain text" files with any extension do you use?
3. In desperation I tried using echo to create a new shell script file the other day, and Android OS complained that the file system was read only. Can I make it r/w from within the android, or do I need to use ADB?
Thanks in advance. I tried googling for answers, but to no avail.

Well you could flash Debian to a JF build and go from there.
You can remount it as r/w from the device. I can't remember exactly what the command is but it is something along the lines of "mount -oremount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system" anyone care to correct me if that is wrong? You can also use DroidSans Tweak Tools available free in the market, just don't use the lite version

almosst correct on the command there, there is actually a space between the "-o" and "remount" so it should read
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
that would make your system partition read write, but if you wanna run shell scripts i would go grab gscript and just write them in there.
oops i typed it wrong i switched the rw and remount, it's fixed now sorry

Haha that's funny. Ive been typing: "mount -o rw, remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system"
But. That's just what works for me. Found it when I first rooted my phone.
I would like to set my phone to europe.pool.ntp.org becouse it's default northamerica.pool.ntp.org
How can I edit this file ? When I try to type adb shell to terminal it gives me an error message.
Thanks
Not development related moved to General
At first U must root R phone and then install Root Explorer. After that go to SYSTEM/ETC/
Here u need to edit GPS.CONF file and change NTP Server from northamerica.pool.ntp.org to europe.pool.ntp.org.
I hope that I help U m8.
Get write acces in system folder
I used the post I've quoted down here. After you have gained write acces in the system folder you can edit gps.conf!
octy said:
By default the /system is mounted in read-only mode.
With 'root' access you can change this.
First 'root' your phone with tutorial 'slumpolo' has provided at
the begining of this thread.
Then open a shell on your phone with adb
Code:
adb shell
Grant 'root' access with 'su' command and have a look of memory partitions
Code:
su
mount
In 'mount' command output, identify the partition on which /system was mounted.
In my phone it was '/dev/block/stl6'
Finally you can remount it to get read-write permissions on it.
But before be sure to be outside /system in the shell (by typing 'cd /' for example).
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl6 /system
Do the modification you want..... BECAREFUL of want you do, you can damage your phone.
Set read-only mode again
Code:
mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/stl6 /system
Sorry I cannot made any snapshot for the moment, I can't use my phone.
Hope it can help you.

U can use adb on Win or linux or qtadb.
Give these commands on adb shell..
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl6 /system
exit
exit
adb pull /system/etc/gps.conf
Edit the gps.conf the way u like.
Then mount again in rw mode.
adb push gps.conf /system/etc/gps.conf
adb reboot
Done.

This is the xoom bootanimation
xoombootanimation
adb method ( this assuems you have the android sdk installed
./adb push /system/media/bootanimation.zip
but you could just use root explorer to replace it if you like
terminal methed
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
(if you forgot to rename it )
do the mount command as above
mv /sdcard/xoom-bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
here is a link to a video of it working http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrhZ6zv3BEA

No it should be fine, the animation just moves across in portrait mode, not landscape like it would on the Xoom. No distortion

This looks AMAZING!! No squishiness or anything! I could seriously watch that all day (as I dream of owning a XOOM)...
How come it took 8 months for someone to mention that I could just replace the bootanimation.zip with Root Explorer?! lol... My laptop died, so I'm stuck with my work machine which I can't install ANYTHING on, let alone run ADB without some Regional IT bastard scanning my machine, looking for a reason to report misuse of a company asset to save his/her own ass... I've been replacing the zip before flashing all this time, and my designated boot was the X (attached, since it's still so pretty...).
Thank you SOOO much! I've themed my EVO to the best of my ability to match the HoneyComb blue, and this is THE perfect addition!
Gonna' go wipe my cache, and dalvik so the boot lasts longer...
Loving it! Goes great with my HC theme on my MIUI ROM!

How exactly do I use the "adb push" method? Is this something I can do in the terminal emulator? If so, how exactly do I do it?
Thanks
adb method
reboot to recovery and do this
go to the mounts-storage in the recovery
mount system
type in your computer
./adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
now to do it through the terminal I believe its something like this
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system <- there is a space between 4 /system
make sure you know where the bootanimation is located. if in downloads
then do
cp /sdcard/download/bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
if it is on the root of the sdcard then do
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
( If you did not rename the .zip to bootanimation.zip then change the cp to mv )
and we done.
enjoy and sorry about the late response I was really busy.
Thanks for this. I was able to download it and use Root Explorer to get it going. Rebooted my phone a couples times just to watch the animation.
Dude, this is really really cool! Thanks OP!

Dude, I'm sorry but I can't seem to figure this out... I've got my EVO hooked up to my laptop running Ubuntu...
I have the USB storage on so I can see it on my desktop...
I'm typing exactly the "mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system" and it gives me a statement saying "system" does not exist.
Any thougths... That is EXACTLY what I'm suppose to be putting into terminal right? There is no part where I'm suppose to put in my own device name or location?
I'm soo bad with this terminal stuff...
Flashable Zip
Just thought I'd throw this out here. I flashed this through Zip and it works well on my 003 Evo. Absolutely beautiful.
Should be just over 5 Mb once downloaded.
NOTICE:
This is not my work - I am not responsible for what happens to your phone. I did not do this, I just don't remember where I got this.
FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK.
I personally hate the automounting CDROM image with HTC software. I know it's fairly common knowledge how to disable it but below are the commands for anyone that cares. Make sure android debugging is enabled and enter the applicable command in your computer's terminal. As with other /system edits, this will only stick if you have S-OFF. You may need your phone screen unlocked to accept the su prompt if you haven't already granted ADB root access.
Disable HTC Virtual CDROM:
Code:
adb shell su root -c "mount -o remount,rw /system /system; mv /system/etc/CDROM.ISO /system/etc/CDROM.ISO.bak; mount -o remount,ro /system /system"
Re-Enable HTC Virtual CDROM:
Code:
adb shell su root -c "mount -o remount,rw /system /system; mv /system/etc/CDROM.ISO.bak /system/etc/CDROM.ISO; mount -o remount,ro /system /system"
i didnt know
I didn't know either... thanks!:good:
Never even crossed my ind to remove that annoying "feature"
Cheers man
Any particular reason to not simply rename the file cdrom. iso.bak or just delete it?
Transmitted from the holodeck of my HTC One M8.

Nope, I'm in IT so I always rename and not delete for small files. Personal preference.
I had no idea. Thanks so much
Nice. So glad to get rid of that stupid thing. I wanted to do that before but couldn't find where the file was located. Worked great. Thanks alot!
Thanks, just used root explore, found the file, and just added .bak to it.
Put a bootable Linux rescue ISO in there :angel:
unfortunately, I can't find that file. it exist because the silly CD popups every time I plug my phone in, but the .iso isn't in system/etc. my phone seems to be slightly stupid when doing a search. Oh well. Good info to have. Thanks for posting the instructions. I appreciate it.

i found this elsewhere
Not all phones and versions of android have things mounted the same.
Limiting option when remounting would be best.
Simply change ro to rw and add the remount option
# mount -o rw,remount /system
Once you are done making changes, you should remount with the original readonly.
# mount -o ro,remount /system
