[NOOBS] Be very careful with root apps! - T-Mobile LG G2x

Having root and using root apps can be a great benefit but can also be a great curse. Before allowing any of them to run at boot, make sure the app is stable and not causing you any problems. For example if you are running SETCPU with an overclock kernel make sure the speed you select is stable before selecting the set at boot option. If not, your phone will lock up at boot and you will have to wipe your phone's user data area to get it to boot again; or worse you might have to wipe the system partition and flash a new rom. Android was designed so the system area is never written to by apps to prevent such problems. With root we can do great things, but we can also wreak havoc upon the system area if we are not prudent in our actions.

Nice announcement. The sad thing is people should not even be using root if they don't know this already.

if your phone locks up at boot with SetCPU overclocked, you can use Setcpu to create a safemode toggle zip file to flash from recovery to allow the system to boot so you wont have to wipe anything

Good info. I didn't know that. Of course, create the zip file before overclocking and setting set at boot.

HELP, unrooted my cap, with cognition rom flashed!

I unrooted my phone click "unroot" using original OCLF thinking i didn't need this app anymore being i rooted the phone using usb and one click root when i flashed the cognition rom. Now i actually unrooted the phone and i uninstalled the original oclf and the new version does not let you root. How do i reroot my device? When i follow steps to reroot it has a red screen when im in reboot menu, i believe it is voodoo lag fix gives me many option but i use the power button to select reboot phone since i do not know what to do. Please help thanks!!
hmmm. You can search for root options on 2.2. You xan asks back everything up and reflash the rom.

Disable lagfix, select install zip from sd in recovery. You do not need root to flash a rom as long as you have clockwork recovery. The red recovery will work

Mounting to your pc had nothing to do with root
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
ok obviously i'm still kinda new to this, i somewhat understand what you mean, is there anyway you can give me better directions in steps? I know you are using your phone, thanks for the quick responses. how do you disable lag fix, and the rest of the steps?
Disable lagfix
Boot phone to on
Go to my files app
Look for voodoo folder
Inside voodoo folder create a new folder named disable-lagfix
Reboot, you will hear the voices.
flash rom
Make sure rom is on your sd
Long press power button
Select recovery
Once in recovery select install zip from sd
Then select choose zip or something like that
Find the cognition rom
Select
Select again
It is likely when the rom boots voodoo will still be disabled
To re enable go back to voodoo folder on sd, open, delete disable-lagfix folder, reboot. You will hear the voices

ok i used one click root to force root file that i renamed, it then rebooted phone to a red menu, "clockworkmod recovery v2.5.1.3 - voodoo lagfix" options are:
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
install zip from sd card
backup and restore
advanced
voodoo lagfix
go back...
Can i select install zip from sdcard from here, is that what you were meaning?
Also on a different note, i have the xda app how do you get notifications from my post?
The rom works fine, so do i need to flash it again, or is this the method i will need to flash all over again to be able to root?

the root method i download was from a thread with video and instructions on how to flash a rom from 2.1 to a custom froyo rom. so if i get this right, your saying i need a file that roots a 2.2 phone? so i need to find in xda one click root for 2.2 right?
Well thanks for being bored and being helpful.
yes swype does put in the weirdest words sometimes
any idea on a 2.2 rooting file? or search?
my biggest bugs with swype are with the words "want" always come up with wasnt. and a few others but "want" bugs me the most

New G2X Checklist

Anyone able to give me some helpful todo's for my new G2X before I do anything with it? Some of these will not be G2X specific obviously. Anything that doesn't involve rooting would be nice. I'll root later on.
I've been told to let the battery die all the way down before charging it at all. Is there any truth in that?
Should I install any sort of battery metering software, or anything else of that sort?
I don't think it's necessary to initially drain the battery all the way down. For the first 5 charges, I fill it all the way up and drain it all the way down to calibrate the reading, despite the faulty LGE battery drivers. I also try to do this with the phone off.
After that I charge it normally whenever I need to.
I personally don't care for any battery-related apps, but I know a lot of people do.
you don't ever need to drain the battery all the way to calibrate it. just root and download BatteryCalibration from the market. it deletes the battery stats and thus insures the phone is reads the battery level accurately. the same can be done in clockworkrecovery
What other things would you guys be doing to prep a new phone?
Do you use any particular tools to do a full stock backup, etc? Pretend you are just cracking the box open and what to start off right.
when I get a new phone I...
-root
-flash clockworkrecoverymod from the dev section
-create a backup in clockwork
-delete battery stats in clockwork (assuming u charges to 100% first)
-install titanium backup pro
-freeze or delete any unwanted apps and services
-restore apps from previous phone (but never any system apps)
-use rom manager to fix permissions
-boot into clockwork again and make another backup
-use any file manager or rom manager to rename your backups however you see fit. I name the first one "factory backup" and the other "stock completely setup"
- use phone
well first thing i would do is put clock work mod on it using nvflash ( the newer version of cwm) then after thats on i would boot into that scroll down to backup and restore and backup my stock rom, now i have a backup of my stock rom, dont use rom manager that would be fake flashing it another words if u get into a sticky situation and are bootlooping u cant do **** about it, thats why u flash cwm with nvflash that way incase that happens u can hold power down and vol down and get into recovery......ok after installing recovery and making my stock backup i then would use super one click and root it and put pauls fix on it (paul obriens) hot fix, makes the phone faster and is stable, lg ****ed up somehow with boot up and he fixed it....ok so after that i would make one more backup of my rooted stock rom, now u have a backup of a pure stock rom and a backup of a rooted stock rom, now this way incase u needed to take the phone back to tmobile u would restore ur pure stock rom and all u would have to do was run nvflash and flash stock recovery and ur good. now the reason for the rooted stock backup is if u just wanna go back to stock for whatever reason, u wouldnt have to root it, it would already be rooted......that being said u have ur backups u have recovery and rooted now i would go explore with some roms and see which one is for u then when u find one u like stick with that then flash a custom kernel and so on and so on....sorry for the long post
and yes before u make any backups install titanium backup and backup all the apps u want this way if u install a new rom u can restore ur apps that u want on that new rom
Awesome post.

Well you should be at full charge when you wipe the stats... or how else will the phone know that the battery is at 60% = 60% not 60% = 40%. Start at 100%, wipe stats, then do a full drain until the dies. This will write stats of the true length of the battery.
I don't really think wiping the battery stats is even required but I would give it a few good full charge/drain cycles to tell the phone the full length of the battery; this is important for any device.
When I first got my phone, download root app+drivers, root, NVFlash ClockworkMod Recovery, BACKUP, full charge + battery wipe, cache wipe, flash, enjoy.
Or just enjoy Stock for a while. It is a new device and Stock works pretty well (at least it did for me). I like staying stock on a new device for a while so I know what to expect out of custom roms.
So I only have the internal memory at this point. Once I use CWM to perform the backup, should I grab the backup file(s) off of my device and archive them on my computer just in case something goes awry?
well of course you need to charge to 100% first. the whole reason the app and option in clockwork exists is because draining lithium ion batteries is unhealthy for battery. if you charge to100% and delete the stats it will read the battery correctly. I'm not saying a drain doesn't achieve the same result but as I said it is unhealthy for the battery.

Use spare parts app to turn off all transition or windows animation.
Note: Anim mod app can add different menu animations. I use this only because it gives a cool flip animation to the top task bar. Even if all animations are turned off.
I'm sure there are other ways about this but this is the easiest way to do things with apps instead of trying to use a terminal and etc.
Recommendation: Root tools has some good stuff but do not run fix permissions cuz it could lead to breaking your root. This kept happening to me when i used superone click and did that lol

Sharp SH7218u

This thread is dedicated to hacking and development of the Sharp SH7218u. This is an Android phone with a somewhat unique clamshell form-factor.
Before proceeding, please note that all of the usual warnings apply. The software and techniques described here have the potential to break your device and make it unusable. By using the software and following these techniques you run the risk of bricking your phone. I take no responsibility if this happens - proceed at your own risk.
First, some credits for the work of others:

Now on the instructions....
-------------------
Rooting Your Phone, Installing Clockworkmod Recovery, and Installing Google Apps
Gather the Required Files:
1. Go to the z4root xda thread, login in and download z4root.1.3.0.apk:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953
2. Download SH7218u_recovery.apk:
(attached below)
3. Download the Clockworkmod recovery flashable Google Apps file from the following site:
http://goo-inside.me/gapps
In the table, you want to select the HDPI, CyanogenMod 6 version. The file that you download should be
called 'gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed.zip'
4. Place these three files on your micro-SD card and insert the card into your phone.
Root Your Phone
1. Boot up your phone and skip the system setup wizard. Go to the app drawer and run 'Settings'.
2. Select 'Applications', and enable 'Unknown sources'.
3. Select 'Development', and enable 'USB debugging'.
4. Exit back out to your home screen launcher, then go to the app drawer and run 'ES File Explorer'.
5. The file explorer should show you the contents of your sd card. Tap on the file 'z4root.1.3.0.apk'.
6. Confirm installation of z4root, and when this is complete select 'Open' to run the app.
7. From within z4root, press the 'Permanent Root' button.
8. Wait until this process is complete, and the phone will reboot by itself. It can take 30 seconds or so for this to happen, so be patient. You are now rooted.
Flash Clockworkmod Recovery Image
You must be rooted for this to work. Do this after you have successfully completed the rooting process above. Also please note that this is not the CWM recovery image developed by Gigi Tse. Her image contains CWM version 3.0.2.4. This is my recovery image and contains CWM version 5.0.2.8.
1. Open the app drawer and run 'ES File Explorer'.
2. Tap on the file 'SH7218u_recovery.apk'.
3. Confirm installation and run the application by selecting 'Open' once installation is complete.
4. On startup, the application will request Superuser privleges - press 'Accept' to allow this.
5. Press the 'Flash Clockworkmod Recovery' button.
6. Wait a few seconds until you see the confirmation message 'Recovery Flash Complete'.
7. Exit out of the application. You now have Clockworkmod as your recovery. You can uninstall the SH7218u_recovery app if you wish as you have no further use of it.
Note for users of Link2SD: This version of Clockworkmod recovery will perform backup and restore operations on the secondary SD card partition used by Link2SD. However, that partition must be formatted in the ext3 filesystem for this to work. Formatting the partition in any other filesystem (e.g. ext2, fat32, ext4, etc.), will result in failure to mount and backup the partition. An SD card can be prepared for use with Link2SD from within this version of Clockworkmod recovery by using the 'Partition SD Card' feature within the 'Advanced' menu.
Install Google Apps
1. Boot into Clockworkmod Recovery. This is done by powering down your phone, then turning it back on by pressing and holding down the number 3 and 6 buttons together, then pressing and releasing the power button. Continue to hold the number 3 and 6 buttons until you see the Clockworkmod screen.
2. Select 'install zip from sdcard' from the menu.
3. Select 'choose zip from sdcard' from the next menu.
4. The next menu will be the contents of your sdcard. Select the Google Apps file - 'gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed.zip'.
5. Confirm the installation and wait until it is complete.
6. Press the back button once to get back to the main screen and select 'reboot system now'. You now have Google Apps installed.
When you reboot the device, you will be taken through the Google account setup. Please note that in order for contacts applications to work with Google synchronization, you will need to install a modified contact editor. The stock firmware on this phone is not intended to sync with the Google servers as it was intended for Chinese users. The modified contact editor fixes this issue. It is free and available from the Market. Look for 'Contact Editor Free' by a developer named 'dmfs'.

Hey someone read my thread!!
Sorry, no posts on this thread yet and it has been up for a while. I think most people who have this phone stick to Howard forums or other such sites that cater to the phone type and its region of origin.
As for your question, no...but I have tried. That would require a modification of the phone app or a change to the OS itself as the phone app is the active app when the phone is ringing and the device is opened. If I had the source code for the stock phone app, this would be a fairly easy thing to do. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find the source for the stock device firmware anywhere. I tried compiling a generic Froyo phone app from the Google source, but of course this did not work. This is a somewhat special app that needs to interface with several parts of the device's hardware, so a generic version just doesn't work. Unless Sharp releases the full source code for the stock firmware, I don't think this is going to be possible....at least not from someone with my somewhat limited development abilities.

Google Play
Hey xdajunkman, amazing work you are doing here.
Have you considered adding Google Play to the mix? I was able to get the latest version working just fine on my SH7218u.
How hard would it be to hack the light notifications area of the phone, to make some of the notifications last for 1-2 seconds longer?
I should also add that my phone is giving some really flaky GPS information. It is putting me somewhere in the ocean near China unless I use wifi only. Do you have any experience with this?
EDIT: I don't know why, but the dialer is not working for me with regard to the long-press of the delete key and silent (#) key. No idea why...
EDIT2: It is because I had another keyboard installed; which must do something funky... switching back to a default keyboard and then trying seemed to work!
Thanks for your guide! Do you have got new version Rom? 2.3 or 2.3.5?

Not likely to come. This would mean building something like CM7 for a new device from scratch. This kind of task takes dozens of man-hours for an expert developer, and that assumes that they have access to the original source for the release build. We do not have the original source, and there is no such developer working on this device. We will be stuck with Froyo.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a guide xdajunkman!
I received my SH7218u today and did everything. The instructions were clear and the whole process took no more than 30 minutes.
Surprisingly, my SH7218u accepts 64 microsd card (after you format it).
Is it ok to have 2 partitions?
One is a ext2, and the other I just created using clockwork mod ext3...
I'm wanting to use that custom rom..
EDIT: clockwork mod Repartitioned my ext2 to ext3 now ಠ_ಠ
and all my apps are "installed"
Going to make a backup rom now.. and then Install xdajunkman's custom rom >__<
EDIT: Ok succesfully installed the Custom rom It looks great I might say awesome work xdajunkman
Ok the question is now.. how to I get back all my previous apps and stuff?
I followed the guide and made a backup already

It is usually just easier if you wait until you have the new ROM installed before you try and install your apps. There is no reliable way from within CWM to restore your installed apps.
However, because the new ROM is just a modified version of the stock ROM, it should be possible to flash the new ROM without wiping the existing user data and keeping your installed apps. Restore your backup that has all of your apps installed. Then, flash the modified ROM but skip the step in the instructions that tells you to wipe existing user data. Instead of wiping the user data, do the following:
1. In the 'mounts and storage' menu of CWM recovery, select to format both '/system' and '/cache'
2. In the 'advanced' menu of CWM, select 'Wipe Dalvik cache'
Now proceed with installing the ROM as per the instructions. This should result in the modified ROM being installed, but all of your installed apps should be protected.
If this does not work, then you will just have to re-installed the modified ROM according to the instructions (including wiping the existing user data), then re-install all of your apps. For future reference, a great app called Titanium Backup will allow you to backup your apps and restore them after changing the ROM.

Agree with sirjoe1. Hopefully you flashed CWM as your recovery before you did this. However, if not then booting into recovery mode as described above should trigger a factory reset from the stock recovery partition. I have not attempted this myself with the stock recovery, but usually what this will do is simply return your device to it's stock state. You can then start over using the instructions in the OP....but without deleting critical system apps this time.
Hello again, I've a question, has anyone successfully Overclocked the cpu frequency on this phone using setcpu or similar apps?
Overclocking not possible without either a custom kernel or a kernel module of some sort. As the source for the stock kernel was never released, such a thing would be a HUGE undertaking. Very unlikely to ever happen.

Oh darn, that's such a downer..
These sh7218u threads are so dead nowadays :/
I might have messed up my phone -_- (again)
I went into the /data/sdext2/dalvik-cache and deleted everything and now a few apps have gone missing, and some won't work, they just give me a force close error >___<
I also lost my go launcher ex settings..
and to make things worse.... my internal memory went to 0% free... deleted a few things to clear up 8mb..
Any Ideas how to fix this ? @[email protected]

Thanks for your tutorial, and I will let you know if it runs out just fine

[Q] Can you add Oc to the New Genesis Rom or any Rom ? G2x

Does it matter which rom you need to put overclock on it, or is that something they put in the rom already ?

Overclocking is a kernel thing, gotta flash one that supports it. I'm sure Faux's CM9 kernel has OC in, not so sure about Harsh's kernel.
OK I've been flashing your roms which are dope btw. And I'm trying to get to the overclocking part, could you put the link where I could get it and what to do ? Please and yo I flashed the new genesis rom beta 2 and I added the home long press button to try to show my recent apps but its been a fail is it a bug now ?? Cuz in beta 1 it worked fine. I rebooted after I changed it to see if it wud work but its still a no go. Oh and a tip I found out if the camera don't work is you can you instagram to take photos. Just sayin

These are 2 kernels that support overclocking. You most probably will then also need to get SetCPU (or similar cpu control app) from the play store.
1. Put kernel .zip file on the sd-card.
2. Clear cache/dalvik cache. (I recommend using Nullifier for cache)
3. Install the .zip
4. Restart phone, open SetCPU. Allow SetCPU to gain root permissions. Then just swipe to the higher frequency.
5. ????
6. Profit.

[Q] Bootloop due to overclocking

I have Sens4G with ViperS1.4.0. I have adjusted the CPU to 1.9GHz for benchmarking purpose. After that time, the phone reboots after the CPU freq is set (usually after requiring the PIN), so there is no way to adjust back. No backup, but there are important data (e.g. Expense Manager ot Task+), so there is no way flashing with full wipe. I have tried to update the ROM with itself and have tried install without wiping, but no success.
Any idea to fix the bootloop?
Thanks,
Csaba

Hi,
Just reflash the ROM.
This just resets everything,but your data and settings remain intact.

The CPU is adjusted by the VenomTweaks so even I just reflash the ROM, the VT will adjust again the freq, since none of the app or data is deleted. :laugh:
Somehow I have to disable the VT or modify the setting, but there is no such a file on the SD.

Hi,
Don't you get an opportunity to change those settings in the aroma part of the installation?
What about flashing new kernel?
Or editing the file responsible for kernel tweaks via USB in recovery mode?

Download cm9.1.0 from here: http://get.cm/?device=pyramid&type=stable
Now, extract the file and go into the resulting folder. Then, flash the boot.img file. Instructions on flashing boot.img files are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752270
The purpose of this is to install a kernel that has no overclocking enabled. This will allow you to boot up your phone and disable the overclock on boot setting. Once you do that, you can install any kernel you like.
EDIT: OR if your phone can overclock to 1.73GHz without bootlooping then you can install faux123's kernel (much easier than flashing boot.img). Download it from faux's thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216197
