Just curious since CM has this function... Being a new Amon-Ra user this seems like something that would make the users life much easier. I previously has all my custom things in a folder on my sd called EvoDev and roms in one folder, zip mods in another, etc.... I now must leave all my stuff on root of sd or move back and forth with a file manager if I want to do anything.
I'm not mad or anything, just curious as to why Amon-Ra doesn't have this ability. Anyone know?
P.S. - Sorry if this is wrong section but I didn't view it as a general Q&A... It was more specific to a function of a program that is used daily in development so I thought this would be the appropriate place to ask.

i wish it had this funcion. this is the only reason why i do not use it.
because he hasn't implemented, 2.0 is on the horizon, there is potential its going to be implemented, however something so simple can easliy be worked around
2.0 can but amon-ra hasn't ported it over to the evo yet.

Are you saying there is a way to make it see past the root? I can't figure it out. Please elaborate..
If you are just saying it is easy to work around as in it is easy to just move my files to root of sd.... Well sure, it isn't hard to do..... but it does take more time.... And say you are doing something complicated requiring flashing a few things one after the other... Well... That becomes a bit of a PITA if you ask me... Especially after using CM for so long....
I like Amon-Ra better actually... Aside from the lack of seeing past root of SD...
As I said, I'm not mad, just wanted to know if maybe a change was in the works or if anyone knew a way to force seeing further.
no way around it, but if you are by a computer, enabling USB mode allows you to mount the SD card and manage it while in recovery.

Ahhh, see I didn't know that since I just started using. Is that what that first option line is for? I think it has 2 letters then a dash and two more letters?
Thanks for the info.
yup, whatever says usb, you hit it, connect up your phone and its just like hard drive mode when your phone is on, life saver especially if you jack up something or wipe everything but forgot to move a ROM to the root of your HD

Yep, I always use usb-ms mode when I do some flashes/updates since it's quick and easy. The file explorer would be a bonus, but amon ra is great the way it is. As long as I have my nandroid backup includes my 4G RSA keys then that's all that matters.

Does it back upo 4G-RSA keys automatically or do I have to do a separate backup for that?
i'm sure it will be implemented in the evo build soon. just be patient.
not to sound anal but unless it involves added 400 extra lines of code why not ad this basic feature from the get go?
I mean my sd was nicegly organized, now i have all they files jammed into the root of my sc card. Making trying to find one to flash out of gillions very hard

Just like the title says, I'd like to unroot and go back to factory defaults like it was fresh out of the box. I've already messed up quite a few things on it and would just like to start over ~_~

thank god for smart ass answers. Without jag offs like you we'd all be lost in this world!

LOL thats pretty funny hahah
did u do a back up?
sadly i did not, I was messing with overclocking and somehow messed up some permissions and i'm kinda stuck in a loop. Not sure how to enable read/write to my system while in a root explorer and adb is just giving me some weird message about color being incorrect when I try to access system... bleh, could always be worse, at least i'm not bricked yet right? heh

I tried that once with my old G1 and I've had mixed experiences, sometimes I would get MD5 checks that didn't match up and once actually backed up my step fathers G1 while rooting his and ended up accidentally loading it up on mine.
Worth a shot I guess.
you can use someone else's backup, but the unroot threads all tell you the order in which you need to do things, without searching and reading you will never do anything on your own which is ridiculous. there are a few different threads that tell you how to unroot your phone if you just read everything through it will all make sense

He did a little too much tweaking and has it phone hosed up.
Best of luck to him. I am sure he will now do a back up before messing with things. I have opted to do that every time now with Rom Manager. Its nice to be able to revert quickly.
I did the CM 6.1 RC1 but GPS and battery life not so good. Luckily I had a Backup that I was able to restore days later. With the assistance of Titanium I get everything else set up. Email is no big deal as I have exchange and Gmail.
Please see this thread. I had used this to reset my G2 back to stock and then went ahead and rooted it with rage.

The binaries listed in the thread title (and others, iwmulticall for example) all work on my Viewsonic G-tab.. How much different is the Xoom so that the same binaries will also work? Thats rhetorical, as I'm going to try to get all of my favorite utilities on this tablet (xoom) regardless.. iwconfig can be a big help in diagnosing problems with wifi, and most certainly boostiing performance while the device is asleep (iwconfig <adapter name> power off).
Its quite strange that there is no CWM for this.. as the Viewsonic Gtab has a recovery that mounts the internal sdcard as /sdcard/ (to my dismay).
I had hoped to find things like a multi-core enabled tar/bzip binary included with honeycomb.. haha.. I'm serious.. That said, how do we go about creating such binaries? I don't think its just as simple as compiling an arm linux binary, copying to device, and setting perms... I've tried this with aria2c.. heh.. Think we'll see any multithreaded binaries anytime soon?
At least all of the partitions are ext4 - with the exception of pds.. whatever the hell that is.
I'm not sure if this is the correct section to post this in.. so feel free to move if necessary..
Wait until we get SD card enabled

wow, and you're asking for help? Chill out! I've been working on something like this, I had a Gtab too. IMO it would be easier once we get the SD cards working. However if I find anything I'll post it, but no need for that attitude.
Do you think you can find a copy of swype that would work for the Xoom? That's this tab is missing.. I've trieda few different things to get it on here and working but it always complains about screen resolution and I've found that SlideIT is NOT a decent replacement...
If it matters I have swype 2.6blah on my samsung mesmerize but had nowhere near the res of the Xoom.. I've seen a thread on swype on there gtab.... But I didn't try it since someone reported editing their build.prop caused segfaulting instead of booting and that want something I wanted to have happen unless I havea full day to devote to it..
Any help would be amazing!

What did I say? I still have my Gtab.. What about getting the sdcard working will making things easier? I don't understand what you're talking about, but it could be that ferocious attitude of mine getting in the way of things..
ok. so.. iwmulticall (aka iwconfig, iwpriv, iwlist, iwspy, and iwgetid) work.. busybox kinda works.. find is kinda messed up, as is ls. md5sum works.. tar works.. lsmod works.. and so on..
just mounted the xoom (@/) using sshfs on my linux comp.. works perfectly.. so both sftp-server and dropbear work..
1.16.2 did not seem to work.. but 1.16.1 works. I'll post..
unzip this to the directory that the adb binary resides in..

why don't you just contact koush? he stated on his website that he won't provide CWM publically until moto/google provide sdcard support.
he did say he already has it running on his own device but doesn't want to risk a 800 dollar investment for any of us until sd card support comes through.
The sdcard hardware is in there, correct? This won't be a send-out update like the 4G modem... Can you guys use nvflash on this thing? I forgot to try to put the device into apx mode. I assume its the same procedure... power + vol up + vol down.
To port over the iPhone emoji? its getting a little lame not to have a universal emoji.. but surely if Handcent can do it the system should be able to..
Found THIS
Download, unzip, replace /system/fonts file of same name, reboot. It only covers about 70ish% of emoji. Better than 0%.
Nandroid Backup before flashing... you've been warned.
So it zips it into correct spot or do I have to by hand?

This. You must be rooted to have superuser permissions (access to write to the /system partition).
Use Root Explorer like roxxors said, give it SU permissions, navigate to your system/app folder, mount R/W at the top right (read/write) and then you can long press on items to delete or modify the apps and permissions.
Remember you have to mount R/W before you can edit, paste, move things into, or otherwise modify what's in /system
Its ok as long as you get it figured out.

Dude, that sucks man. I saw your post about it earlier and how someone said "Did you have a phone locator app?"
I've used locating apps in the past, but being a performance freak I try to keep my phone pretty barebones. Hearing your tale of sadness makes me wonder about reinstalling it.
Wouldn't do much use if the person who took it knows the first thing about Android. Not that I ever would but if I stole an EVO first thing I would do is turn of GPS and do Airplane Mode and either uninstall locating apps or do a factory reset.
But maybe someone found it on accident and it will be at the lost and found tomorrow?
Or maybe this is God's way of telling you to switch to the EVO 3D when it comes out!

You have to keep the original name, then add to the end of it and no spaces can be in there.
For example, I use BDEARS-20120120-0219-MIUI-12_9-complete for one of MIUI backups.
The numbers are pretty easy, actually. 20120120 is the date; 2012/01/20 and the 0219 is the time: 02:19

I agree, for me it would frequently skip up/down more than one notch. The other problem was the "back menu button disabled" causing the power button to turn the screen off/on instead of selecting the option. I finally learned you have to scroll past the first menu option 3x to enable it again.
Dont have those problems anymore! Definitely worth the $2.
Yeah, works brilliantly for me!

It's the little things, like being able to see battery and time in recovery. Plus, it now has a keyboard so you can name nandroids in recovery or rename files since it's also got a file manager. It supports backing up partition sizes greater than 2GB which CWM doesn't. You can compress backups to save space. You can queue multiple zips to flash in sequence. If you use Tasker you can make automated, scheduled nandroids. I find it easier to navigate, like it was actually a recovery made to be touch and not just a recovery that had touch added. Swiping to flash gives me confidence I'm not gonna do anything stupid accidentily. Also, while in recovery pressing the power button will lock it so you have to swipe to unlock for those times when you're in recovery but need to put your phone in your pocket. Probably other things I'm missing.
