This is the latest Sprint Rom based on the latest RUU leak with A2SD support (I used Darktremor A2SD 2.7 since it was easy to add it).
I have verified that A2SD is working as I downloaded and installed a couple of programs from the market. The programs are being stored in /system/sd/app.
Here's the link: http://www.darktremor.info/files/2.1/2.1-ruu-a2sd-signed.ziphttp://www.darktremor.info/files/2.1/sprintstock-21-a2sd-b-signed.zip
This one now has adb rooted (thanks to nfinitefx45 for his assistance) and does flash (heard complaints on the symlink issue...never sure what causes that, but ended up starting over and porting the files from the previous build).
This is for those people who want to keep with the stock installation but want the addition of A2SD. If you want a customized look, faster performance and A2SD support, I suggest a custom rom. Fresh 2.1.2 or FreshToast is a good one to use.
Note: It will not affect recovery.
Enjoy and I'll answer any questions you may have (if I can answer them).
did you manually edit the init.rc? and you should mention that this is a ROM, not an RUU

This is definitely an RUU as when I go into adb shell, I get the dollar sign as a prompt rather than the pound sign...I'm pretty certain it is not rooted.

This makes no sense at all.
Good point about the Rom vs RUU. Edited to correct.
As for the init.rc. Mainly it was init.rc edit.

Don't look at me...that's what I'm getting. Doesn't make much sense to me, either. I just know if I do adb shell, I don't have root access. But A2SD works fine.
I went ahead and released it since the goal was to get A2SD working...and I did that. Everything else is for a Rom developer.

tkirton,
here is your exact rom that's in your first post, but I deodexed it. You can add that to the OP if you'd like.
Everyone else, here it is too:

I have not tested it, but it should work fine. Deodexed /system/app and /system/framework

Well I flashed it and stuck on the HTC screen. Flashed the non deodexed version and loads fine.
So apparently i f***ed up deodexing lol. I guess that ROM that I did wont work..
well just loving this rom, but one question, can we get a updated boot.img with the adb enabled for access as root?
Now that the A2SD stuff is behind me, I'll take a look at that. Flipzmode or Toastcfh may be able to shed some light on how you get this image rooted correctly, especially Flipz since he's using the latest leak for Fresh 2.1.1.
The original goal was to get A2SD working on a stock rom, which I did....but it is rather annoying that it isn't rooted (or fully rooted).
Damage said in his point that it was rooted, but I got the same thing you did...no root when doing adb.
I'll talk to Flipz or Toast and see if they can point me in a direction to go.

well this is a piece from some of the reading I've been doing I beleice this needs to be done with in the boot image. I dont know if this will help in your research,
-------------------------
You also need to modify the ROM update script to change the default permissions for /system/bin/su so it can be used to elevate privileges to root. The script is in $WKD/dst/META-INF/com/google/android/update-script. Open it in your favorite editor and find the line starting with set_perm 0 2000 0550 SYSTEM:etc/init.goldfish.sh and after it add the following set_perm 0 0 04755 SYSTEM:bin/su
=======================
Hi tkirton,
Nice job on this and thanks for all your hard work on everything! I am also wondering what dedoxed means? Is it like where application data is also stored on the SD card instead of on the phone itself?
Thanks!
EDIT: We have NAND WRITE ACCESS NOW, NO NEED TO USE THIS ANYMORE! Do the NAND ROOT then Install AdFree from the Market!!!
Sadly we don't have access to write to the NAND on the Evo outside of the recovery console(yet). Some apps such as "AdFree" By BigTinCan do not work for us, as it doesn't have permission for this...
So we must do this manually...
Choose a hosts file!
You need to do is decide where to get your hosts file that will block them. I am attaching the one I am using, but you can find more all over the net
My hosts file (Which is both other options combined)
Another Option
Another option
Once you have one, put it into the tools Android Tools Directory (C:\AndroidSDK\tools for most people).
Copy the Hosts file to the device!
1. ) The phone must be rooted. (Thanks Toast)
2. ) Boot the phone into recovery (Where it says: RECOVERY INSTRUCTIONS).
3. ) Start up ADB Shell
Code:
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>adb shell
4. ) Mount the System Partition
Code:
# mount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
5. ) Exit Adb Shell (Press Control+C)
6. ) Push the hosts.txt file to the device.
Code:
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>adb push hosts.txt /system/etc/hosts
7. ) Reboot Device
Code:
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>adb reboot
That's it, not hard at all. Sadly as time goes on, more ads will slip through the cracks, and you have to do this again.
Quick Q&A:
Q: How do I root the phone?
A: Read this thread.
Q: How do I boot into the recovery console?
A: Read this thread.
Q: How do I set up/what is ADB?
A: Read this thread.
Q: Is removing ads wrong?
A: Probably.
Q: What benefits do I get from removing ads?
A: Less distractions, faster load times, more of the actual app/game will be shown.
Q: I still have a question! How do I...?

b) i didn't post it in development, which is designed for kernels, ROMs, radios, etc
honestly, the evo forum is, hands down, the least organized forum that i've seen here at xda. so many people ran out and bought the evo and now come here, just post up without searching, ask the same questions over and over, etc. we end up with 75 threads all saying the same thing. it's ridiculous.

Well depends on what you consider development, some consider any writing to the system partition to be some form of development...
Still though I apologize for posting this after you, I did search but when I originally made this, just I got distracted and didn't submit the thread until later. Don't worry I never saw your thread and did all the research on my own.
But complaining about this thread in the wrong section TWICE does no good... the mods are moving threads and haven't moved this yet... honestly who cares quit *****ing and let's move on.

I do not think so. You need to boot into recovery for anything to stick, so if you can't then no.
hmmm...strange that when I push this hosts.txt file over to /system/etc/hosts, my entire device just hung. I have to revert back to original hosts file.
Any ideas?
I noticed it removed the ads from Jewels but it didn't remove them from chompSMS. Since I use text more than play games, I'd appreciate it if someone figures out how to remove the ads from chompSMS to let me know. O btw, I used the original hosts.txt file the OP uses.
i don't know about chompsms, but if you grab the hosts file from my thread, in q and a, it eliminated the ads from handcent (and everything else i run). the hosts file i posted was updated from adfree 3 days ago.
@vboy, do the push while in recovery mode and with /system mounted for write permissions. there shouldn't be any 'hang' because it's not done while the phone is in android.
Sorry I wanted to edit my post and let you know it works with chomp but as a new user I couldn't. The frame is there, but no more ad! Thanks

I'm pushing it in recovery mode and pushed over to evo as /system/etc/hosts. I think it caused some issue with my phone in routing for hosts. Whenever I start using apps with data, then it's start hanging. I removed and revert back to hosts file and all is good.

Advantages:
jubeh said:
...there are two latent benefits to having odexed apps; decreased usage of dalvik-cache (thus, more space in /data) and decreased first-boot time after a wipe.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Disadvantages:
jubeh said:
The disadvantage of odexed apps is that, unless the classes.dex is kept inside the .jar or .apk, the app and framework are bound to each other (though an odexed framework can still be used under a full set of non-odexed apks, but not the other way around). This removes mix-and match, and it was the reason why I was waiting for a more current hero-dump that didn't have all it's apps and frameworks odexed...

This is just something quick that I threw together after i was asked some questions regarding creating .odex files and the entire dexopt mechanism.
I searched for scripts that allowed me to do this quickly but I only found half assed ones that really didn't fit my needs.
So here's a rough preview of the script: http://pastebin.com/PKxvzMmR
How it works:
After you flash the update.zip below, you'll have both the d3xopt.sh script and the dexopt-wrapper binary. You'll then simply jump into shell
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
and type "d3xopt.sh" and it'll spout out a brief overview of the script:
Code:
Clearing dalvik-cache
Directions:
This script allows you to create .odex files
to optimize dalvik runtime
How to use:
FR - Framework
SA - System Apps
ALL - Framework/System Apps
WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
DO NOT DEXOPT SYSTEM APPS THEN FRAMEWORK.
ALWAYS DEXOPT FRAMEWORKS THEN SYSTEM
APPLICATIONS.
WRONG ORDER WILL RESULT IN ANDROID
RUNTIME ERRORS.
WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
Example: d3xopt.sh FR creates the .odex files for core.jar, ext.jar, framework.jar, android.policy.jar, and services.jar in boot order as to not create any problems with runtime. This follows the order set forth by Jubeh here.
I did put in a few 'checks' that will stop the script from running. Right now it's just rough. (checks for Phone.odex and core.odex before initializing, if present, it exits).
Make sure that you nandroid before you run this script, that way, when you get a spam of force closes, you don't have to cry yourself to sleep.
jubeh said:
Also, be sure that if you want to keep an app's ability to be upgraded, don't odex it (actually, don't even have it in /system, toss it to /data/app)

try odexing on a fresh install before installing anything, also the fc's after the script runs will happen atleast if its anything like the other odex script i used on the vogue, also clearing the dalvik cache AFTER the script runs wont do too much since the dalvik cache gets emptied by the odexing process
Also before you run the script make sure you have atleast 15% of system space left or bad things can happen, and like the Op said is more than a few words, once its odex'd you can never theme it

Yeah, I dont have much space due to fierats. The dalvik cleared first, I was just out of order on my posting I do to much with themes on phone for this. I didnt see that it wouldnt work, or cause themes in future from working. Boredom, see a new thing and I wanna try it! Anything that can help the Hero is worth a shot

hey Deca, wondering if there is a way to use this for /data/app ? I have evo3D now, LOTS of apps, and it boots wicked slow :/
Hi did this ever get updated for GB ??
Very good idea, hope it can work on modded roms.

I am posting this in the Developer forum, because it is still a little more than a In-experienced user can handle at the moment, and the potential to get into a bootloop is a little higher if you are not familiar with what you are doing here.
If you are at all new / uncomfortable with Android, UNIX/LINUX, this phone, or adb, then: PLEASE DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME.
If you get into a bootloop I am not responsible for this, nor is this the place to complain if that happens. You can ask for support here though if this process has caused that.
If you do get into a bootloop, then try and help me out, with providing as much info as possible with what happened (any output or screen prints are VERY helpful). I am also posting the original /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh file here AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST. That way if it does all go wrong it is here to grab. So don't go asking for it someplace else, or even asking here for it.
You have been warned!
Now with that out of the way, on to the good stuff.
1) Go grab some kind of bloat freeze program, from the market. I have used bloat freezer from the market with great success.
Just download and install it, don't run it just yet, if you already have, and frozen the "Device Health Application", then unfreeze it, and reboot, before doing the next step.
It is VERY important that it is done in EXACTLY this order. The reason is, if the Device Health program is frozen when you let the init script run, it will not work exactly as it should and these services will restart, since part of it is frozen when it first runs, and it all has to be disabled in the proper way, so that it can not be restarted remotely, or we will HAVE to use cron to run checks. Cron is an elaborate hack, I don't want to have to do, unless we HAVE to. If you do it in the exact order noted here, cron will not be needed and this will not restart.
2) Go get the init.goldfish.sh file from http://dl.dropbox.com/u/45576654/init.goldfish.sh.tar
push this tarball to your phone:
Code:
adb push init.goldfish.sh.tar /data/local/
End code
Now is the command line part of this hack.
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount, rw /system
cd /data/local
tar -xvf init.goldfish.sh.tar
cp /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh /sdcard/init.goldfish.sh
cp ./init.goldfish.sh /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh
chown root /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh
chmod 550 /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh
mount -o remount, ro /system
reboot
End code
Now when your phone comes back up:
3) Open your bloat freezer program and freeze the "Device Health Application"
Your phone will freak out, and tell you that Device Health has stopped and it will keep asking you to FC, all you can do is pull the battery.
Put the battery back in the phone an boot it up.
Now CarrierIQ should be 100% disabled on your Atrix 2.
As promissed, here is the Original /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh file in a tarball, just use the same code above to put this back in place.
DON'T USE ROOT EXPLORER TO COPY THESE FILES INTO PLACE!!!
Original /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh file:

Hopefully I have not scared everyone from trying this.... I just want to let all the newbies who just got this as thier first android phone yesterday, and rooted it today, and now think that this is a good hack to try, that this is not the best thing for them just yet. It can and will bootloop the phone if you get too excited and don't follow the directions exactly... I got mine in a bootloop testing this all out, and finding the exact steps, but it was not hard to get out of, because it gets into android enough to let you adb in, if you screw up...
quick question: Why would rooting followed by freezing not work for that application? I think I did that when I got the phone. I don't see anything called Device Health in my running or installed applications.
Is carrierIQ still running on my phone? Have you got a string I can look for in the 'ps' output in the Terminal to confirm? There are 100000 processes running on these phones these days, most with cryptic names.... I miss the G1 days....

No just freezing the device health app just stops the collection process.
The part where you run the commands to stop the services in android are where the data can and will be sent to CIQ or AT&T, there are other things collected that att does not care much about (ATT only wants what is collected with the dev health app), and that goes straight to CIQ, so the services at the OS level are VERY important to stop. There is really not a way to see them running, but I have found that these can and will restart if my instructions are not followed 100%. To find out if CIQ is doing anything take a look on youtube there is a video that explains how to look at the system logs and see what is being collected if anything, and what is being sent out. After a lot of trial and error, I found this is the ONLY way to stop it 100%.
Hey Jim. sorry I've been out of the forums for so long on this. I was going to dig around my atrix2 and see what I could find wrt carrieriq. I got stuck on missing shell tools and you gave me some advice wrt paths and such. I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction for fixing up my env when I shell in? I also don't seem to have grep anywhere... odd.
YOu mentioned doing some of the destructive work in an emulator, and I would like to try the same thing, but I've no idea how to get the atrix2 ROM into an emulator. How did you accomplish this?
I followed the instructions above precisely and verified that my init.goldfish.sh is indeed modified correctly with the carrieriq stuff, and have suffered no ill effects. I have not, however, attempted to determine if carrieriq processes have stopped running. I did notice that after having frozen and unfrozen device.health.monitor a few times, it doesn't ever register as a running app... wonder what's up with that.
thanks for the help.

NICE! you really are a jedi master!
Who wants to be the first to try this out? I have created a flashable zip to disable CIQ on every boot, all you have to do is grab the file below:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/45576654/NoCIQ.zip
Then with CWM, flash it, don't wipe anything, except maybe dalvic cache, but nothing else. This will only flash one file to your phone.
You will still have to freeze the device health app as in the OP.
This is just a test right now, once someone other than me tests this, and reports back, that all is great, then I will update the OP, to this method.

Who wants to be the first to try this out? I have created a flashable zip to disable CIQ on every boot, all you have to do is grab the file below:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/45576654/NoCIQ.zip
Then with CWM, flash it, don't wipe anything, except maybe dalvic cache, but nothing else. This will only flash one file to your phone.

It said switch to edify scripting. Installation aborted. Something about gingerbread cwm 3. Not sure. Never see this before. I checked the zip and it has 2 updater scripts. One just has a ~ at the end. I know nothing of code but just trying to help.

Tried this. No go. Here is the error in CWM.
Installing Update...
Amend Scripting (update0script) is no longer supported.
Amend Scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5.
It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recover.
Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.
Installation Aborted.
There ya go. Hope this helps.

That does not perform the hack, only detects if it is running. The voodoo ciq detection app works much better though.

I just rooted my phone, applied the hack and used Titanium Backup to freeze the Device Health App but I didn't see any FC.
Although when I opened Ti Backup, it told me that my su right are wrong. They are 4755 instead of 6755 or something like that and TiBu told me that it will fix it. I fixed it then froze the app and no FC or nothing. Phone is running fine but not sure if it worked.
Is it really necessary for the app to FC in order to show that it worked?
Should I try it all over again?
Thank you.

Go download and install this, and it will show you if it (CarrierIQ) is active or not.

I like to extract the package, see what's in /system/app and get rid of stuff I don't need before installing a ROM. Does doing so affect the integrity of the package, say with update-binary?
I'm pretty sure... I've never made an updater-script for flashing but I'm almost positive it writes every app manually to its location.......
*update
what apps where you trying to remove anyway...Bloatware?

Mostly Bloatware and sometimes custom stuff cooks put in that I have no interest. (i hope it doesn't violate the community code as long as i don't re-distribute it as my own). My question was mostly regarding update-binary as update-script is usually pretty easy to understand but i can't see what's in update-binary and it's usually quite big. Thanks!
Well you can wait for tomorrow when I release my update of my MR Root script on the dev page ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1374297 ) or you can install the ROM, get Root explorer or file expert (I use file expert), goto system/app, then delete to your liking.

Yeah...i used to do that but nowadays i like to rid them before they spawn in my device. Kind of just my own thing anyway. The MR Root script seems like a powerful tool, I'll take a closer look at it tomorrow and see what I can get out of.
You can just remove bloatware through either Titanium or Absolute System. First thing I always get rid of is Wifi Calling.
