Does anyone have these or know where i may get them? i want to flash through Odin but you have to use a PIT file, right? i know people have tried to use the original Vibrant PIT and have bricked so obviously i'm not going to do that. Many thanks.
Use whitehawkx's deodexed kd1 it works perfectly and is already rooted and is READY for CWM

No you do not need a PIT file. Many have messed up their phones using the wrong pit file. There is another thread that says he created a PIT that works for the SGS4G, But you don't need a PIT, infact most instructions state do not check repartition on ODEN. Check here to see how to use ODEN. CWM is now working check the DEV page for information on using that.
Ok. I flashed without the PIT and NANDROIDed back. I lost too much to bother with it. Especially until there is and app that has a one-click restore feature for app backup

Like all my apps and stuff. I guess it's my laziness because I don't want to reinstall every individual .apk

Oh i thought you were doing this because you were soft bricked or something but in your case then you dont need this you could easily just do alternatives to getting all the thing that kernel comes with

You can use titainum backup to Backup your Apps. Go to the Market on your phone and get Titanium Backup and install it. It has a batch program to backup your Apps.
I know. I backed up with that and App Monster but there isn't a one-click restore option

What about the "RESTORE all APPS with DATA" Option. You may need to get the PRO version.

Meaning you can flash mods over it? Or is it truly easier to modify? This is way above my head at this pint sorry point.

Read This. This might help you understand better.
ROMs are typically released in deodexed form because they can be themed and modified fairly easily, whereas theming/modifying an odexed ROM is basically impossible (at best things would crash like crazy). Some people also choose to release their ROMs in odexed versions for people who would prefer the performance gains.
Helpful for sure. So it's easier to add mods. Jeez does that make it easier to modify the rom. sorry i have to ask this here because well you know. I don't want mister clown to chop my head off. So i will let you. Flame on!!
For everyone like me thats having trouble with Super One Click freezing during root, you can also root your phone by installing GINGERBREAK on your phone.
Gingerbreak.apk can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
1. Download the latest version from your phone or PC.
1a. If you download from your PC, adb install or just copy to your sd card.
2. Make sure you have Unknown Sources and USB Debugging checked in Settings>Applications
3. Browse to the file using any file explorer and install.
4. Open the app and just click ROOT.
5. Let it do its work and reboot. Once back up, you will be rooted
ENJOY
Devs if this has already been posted and i missed it, feel free to remove or close this thread.
Has anyone had success using this on G2X? I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere or on the gingerbreak thread. Thanks.

I have uninstalled it already and haven't seen any changes in performance or behavior. I'll post tomorrow night after a full day's use to give a report. But in all honesty I don't think its going to show any problems. You can always use Titanium Backup to back up the apk before you uninstall it that way if you do have problems, you can reinstall it.
EDIT: its labeled in TB as :
HTC Loggers 3.1.gingerbread.GRJ22.mecha
EDIT 2: This issue is on Sense ROMs only. If you are running an AOSP ROM, you are in the clear.
EDIT 3: If your still running Froyo Sense (not sure why you are) it may or may not be in there. Some people have stated that this is a Sense based Gingerbread issue only but since I can't confirm it yet, don't take my word.

Would it be possible to develop a non-rooted method of fixing this. A firewall?

Alternatively, you can just re-name HTCloggers.apk - to HTCloggers.bak, .xxx, .del, etc. with root or es explorer.

I understand that currently there is no fix without root or a patch. I was wondering if it would be possible to develop a firewall for the phone that would block it
Will freezing the apk work just as well or do we have to uninstall it completely?

No, because it would involve needing things that require root. Unless you have some sort of magical way to mess with iptables and install it on your phone or edit the host file without having write access to the system.
I am running a mostly stock MR2 (MR2 rooted and deodexed but NOT debloated) ROM and couldn't find it. The POC app also says connection refused. I checked with both es file explorer and titanium backup but did not find anything either.

You beat me to it.... iptables requires support to be compiled into the kernel. Without root, you ain't touching the kernel nor replacing it with one that has the necessary support.

You could freeze the apk. Make sure you guys get rid of the com.htc.loggers folder in /data/data.

To Root:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-T959V/Rooting
I recommend going to this link: http://shortfuse.org/?p=193 - to download SuperOneClick v2.3.3 as it is the current version and not attached in the link above. However, you should go to the link above and read up on SuperOneClick. I have not heard of any risk involved with SuperOneClick as long as you read and follow directions. And BE PATIENT with it.

I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.
Redd I know you want to try and help but that is not even close. This guy is looking for an easy way to root.
Alex you can either follow Lumins link for root or learn to use ODIN or Heimdell to flash a kernel that has root and clock work mod. I know this is a lot to take in. CWM has many advantages over simply rooting your phone. Such as custom ROMS that already have most bloat removed thereby freeing up tons of space. Either way you decide to go just read whatever you can and be patient with the learning curve.

Thank you all! Thanx Lumin30... it worked great... only question I have is what's the easiest way to uninstall bloatware? I tried using ex file explorer because it stated in the app market that it has a feauture to uninstall sys apps whenever rooted but it clearly doesnt.
THANX SO MUCH!

People have their favorites. I use System Rom Toolbox from the market. I find it easier than TB and others. When you go into 'Remove System Apps' hit menu and select 'All System Apps'.
Wow thanx again!!! What a great help man! Can u give me any tips on what are the safe bloatware to remove.. because long time ago I read somewhere u can cause system problems removing certain apps?

You can still follow my debloater for reference (Click on the link in my forum signature).
I recommend you use a CWM kernel anyway since you'll have ext4 support which should give your phone a nice speed boost too.
When I playback video that I had recorded, it displays very small and only gives an option to stretch the playback extremely to fill the screen. I've noticed that the camera app is not the same pretty one that I am seeing on youtube.
Here a pic of my G2x camera.
View attachment 1038022
I'm running 2.3.3
I have done a factory reset and no change
I have tried recording at all resolutions and no change
How can I fix this?
Did you recently update the phone, or did this just happen out of no where?
I bought it used and didn't update anything. I remember the camera looking like this when I got it before I did a factory reset.
Have you tried downloading different camera apps from the market to test?
If still nothing works then you probably have to replace the camera. It isn't hard to do though.
Give a shot of this LG camera mod:

No worries, at this point I'm not too sure whether you're rooted your device or not.
If not, google rooting Android and decide if you wanna carry on that way. Same applies for flashing CWM/mods/ROMs, as buru stated as well, google it and decide whether it is for you or not.
As for CWM recovery, check this thread:
