App that roots/OCs/multi-touches and tethers for $5

[cisco0910]

remember once u install its going to ask u to replace (which i believe u did), then rename it in settings ssid (ur name or something)

i renamed it..searched on my laptop..it came up for bout 3 seconds. Came up as a computer to computer network...

so ima assume everything is all good

not suppose to be a computer to computer network is it? I tried connecting to it, it can't. also, i'm getting still zeros on my phone kB's..

ima run through this again for some one who just checked in
1) install app (pay the $5 its worth it)
2) after it installs it will tell you to reboot in recovery mode. You do this buy powering off. Hold x on the key board while holding x power back up, keep holding power until u see /!\, then while holding volume up hold the camera button. you will get a menu click on sd card update zip, after its done reboot.
3) after it reboot go into the app and follow this next step:
If you see a black screen, tap it! If you get an FC dialog after 5 seconds, close the app and relaunch it. You must check the remember box on the SU dialog, and you must restart the app after granting SU permission.
4) it may take a bit to install
5) flash 1.2 rom it will reset
6) when it ask you to wipe or save click save
7) if it ask mac or windows choose windows for pc users, linux for mac
8) there is along menu of default apps you can choose to install or not, in that is car home, facebook, amazon, alarm clock etc. make sure u look at that list. If you forget its ok just follow the instructions below
9) after it is all installed you may have some lagginess...give it 10 mins the do a resten, it normally will fix it.
10) the wifi fix is a couple of posts back
11) must install setcpu to oc and it will only max at 600 the update 2.0 will bring 125,250,500,600,800,1000
12) no live wall papers as far as i know

am i missing something

im in the option screen (blue) may i ask where is car home under

Look for an option named "remove car dock" and uncheck it. I'm not sure which menu it's on, since it has been a while since I've installed 1.2. You might want to ask the ROM maintainers (Berzerker and trevorj) about these questions, since it doesn't really have to do with the updater apk.

thanks i had found it. I like the options of what you can add or remove.

So im thinking about rooting and installing this app from scratch from the sholes website but would you guys recommend just paying the 5$ to do it for me cause I have not delve into rooting or any of the Driod tweaks yet.......

 

[pc747]

this is a good app if you are not really good at rooting because its alot of typing if u do it urself, this does it all for you

Camel said it was at 600 by default IIRC.

 

[pc747]

yeah 600 by default but u can throttle down with set cpu, the other ones will come later

the apps you downloaded from the market should reinstall themselves after you boot up( sometimes it takes a little while). but if you do other things to get apps which wont be discussed here, then no, you cant get them back. hope this helps if you were still curious

No, all regular apps from the app market. They didn't reinstall, but thanks anyway!

I had to manually install all my apps again, it took 5 minutes with this fast ass phone though.

I still can't believe it's only overclocked 50MHZ and is twice as fast. AMAZING!

 

[Andrewecir]

So do I install setcpu before running this app or after?

to fix WIFI

1) (after you done the steps here: App that roots/OCs/multi-touches and tethers for $5) click on this link from your droid: wireless_tether_2_0-pre3_eclair.apk - android-wifi-tether - Wireless Tether for Root Users 2.0-pre3 *** FOR SUPPORTED ANDROID 2.x DEVICES ONLY *** >>> EXPERIMENTAL <<< - Project Hosting on Google Code
it will download
2) after its done click and say replace
3) go into app, click allow
4) go into set up and change ssid (make it ur name or something)
5) on your lap top go into control panel and view network
6) find the ssid you made
7) because it will consider it unsecured you are going to have to click on it (on ur laptop) and allow. u will know it works when ur phone vibrate
8) go into diagnostics and repair and repain the setting. u should get a yellow security dialogue box, accept.
I just did this on 2 diff lap tops one is an old 2006 toshiba satellite running windows xp, and the other is a new toshiba satellite running windows 7. Its the same for both

any questions about wifi go there so not to flood this thread about wifi.

 

[cisco0910]

do we actually have to do anything in setcpu or is it already defaulted to 600. I know it was mentioned pages ago to make sure to select auto detect instead of droid but is there anything else we must do to maximize the root?

 

[Andrewecir]

So im getting an activity sholesmod updater (in application sm updater) is not responding warning force close or wait................ then what?
