[Q] Would it be possible to create an app that gives temproot on startup? - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

Like a simple one click app that just pushes everything it needs too while in temproot and sets itself to startup with the device? I know its silly of me to think that it could really be that easy but I have no general understanding of how these things work (though I would love to know). So what do yah think? Can it be done?

That would be neat. I'm actually debating returning my Droid 2 and reverting back to my original Droid inc since it was everything I wanted. Seems to be a giant development interest in the inc. I upgraded "because I could" basically. I miss my WiFi tether and screenshot app...that's about it.

Still have my old dinc. Sadly I flashed it back to stock thinking I was going to sell it. Looks like I'm keeping it. Should have left cm7 on there

Then why has nobody made one yet? I mean I don't know how to program or anything so I don't really know how long that would take haha.. But yah it would be nice to be able to reboot my device without using adb to get root every single time..

Stability would be my concern, but to be honest I don't know many developers flocking to inc2, HTC's recent decisions make their devices less appealing to many developers.

That's what I always assumed what it was.
I've got it booting now. Just need to do a bit of cleanup to get everything working.
My first impression... MIUI is better but time will tell.

Don't.. it's quite terrible really. I'm not seeing anything special over stock Android. I don't see any of those neat features shown in the screenshots.
So either this dump isn't a real dump of the shipping phone or I'm not looking in the right places.
I've got 3G working and most everything else working, but am having serious gfx issues making the ROM unusable.
I'm not really terribly interested in Meizu M9 but was bored and up for a challenge. If I can't get it working fully tonight, I'll post what I have and someone else can takeover.

No idea, I wasn't impressed months ago when they announced it. Only reason I am doing this is because I figured it would be pretty easy to do. I was partly right.
I'm not sure what is really going on with the gfx.. but there is a new M9 firmware released a few days ago.
http://www.meizume.com/meizu-m9-firmware/12641-meizu-m9-firmware-v1-0-2-14504-a.html
Gonna try using that to see if it's any better and if not, just release as-is cuz I'm kinda over it.
Graphics issues are fixed... I should be able to release this sometime tonight once I fix up a few other issues and update it to the latest m9 release.

Your a machine. To bad you don't make a guide on how to port roms to incredible. That would benefit the incredible community huge.

There is no all-purpose porting method. Sure some things work on most AOSP roms (kernel, drivers, etc.) but every ROM is different and it really just comes down to experience and troubleshooting skill.

Source Code released ....

Does us little good right now but if anyone wants to have a peak under the hood...

Ah right...so we need a RUU or update zip with a valid signature in order to move forward? I'm sure there's one out there somewhere just got to hope there's a software ninja with the stones to leak it.

Wouldn't the leaked Incredible 2 Signed RUU leaked of the Verizon Incredible 2 found by 911sniper in April 2011 be of any use to any of you?

Thinkin of dinc 2.

Im up for renewal, got og dinc, an i just cant see $300 for a new phone. How is the dinc 2 for rooting, battery, roms available? I can get it for free, run sense 3.5, and buy klipsh headet and save a boatload. Any advice? Also lookin tbolt

If 4g isn't a need for you, the DInc2 is the best phone on the market IMHO, especially for the price.
I have 4g in my area, but always use wifi if i can, im leanin towards dinc 2

If its hacks an Roms you want? THe Dinc 2 is great!!!
The dinc 2 is a great phone with plenty of Roms to choose from. If I had an upgrade i would get the new $300 HTC smartphone (but thats just becuase of the specs).
If you get a dinc 2 it will be running android 2.3.4. THat version is not rooted yet.
but you can downgrade to android 2.3.3 using this

Then root 2.3.3 using

I asked the same question here a couple weeks ago ...

I ended up getting my Dinc2 for free on Black Friday, and have been loving it. It's a great phone, everything I need, and nothing I don't.

for Rooting Revolutionary gives permanent root for some devices , and for others it give root but not complete permanent root ( incredible 2 is in the second group i believe ) , go to thier website for more . still you can install do all rooted things
as for Roms , if you are using CDMA there is plenty of excellent Roms Sense 3.5 . if you want GSM very few Roms for that and the maximum is Sense 3 for a stable bug less GSM Rom
the phone is nice , and battery is Very good in my opinion
Got mine at Costco for $30.
Might be a good time to check eBay/CL for a used one...

I say go for it. Rooting was fairly straightforward and I have never used adb before that. I love it so far though. It gets way better battery life than the thunderbolt and has cynanogen mod as well as really good sense roms. Also the dev have a pretty decent ICS beta out so if you want that it probably it will be stable I a bit. Enjoy

Your video just gives an error and wont play. Will this work with the 6.01.605.05 updated phones?
Ok got it to load but it does not show how you did it. Do you plan on sharing your secret with us?
I may share, my method still wipes your phone, so I just moved everything I needed to SD.
I'll write up a tutorial soon.

well when i rooted my replacement, after i ran revolutionary, and flashed a radio to stop bootlooping. i tried flashing ParanoidAndroid and it got stuck on splash screen so i had to slap a stock PG32.IMG in my bootloader to get anything to run then after that i flashed supersu and i was on 2.3.4 rooted.
I'm waiting guys, I've been offered money for this, I'm no longer realesing it publicly

You sir are a disgrace to the android community. Seriously.... asking for money for a root method? Nobody give this guy your money. He is clearly a troll. I doubt he even has a method for rooting. He will probably take your money and run. Even if he does sell you a working method you would only be contributing to this kind of behaviour.
Optional donations? Absolutely!
A fee? GTFO!

I was thinking the same thing and was going to say something but I figured I was probably just feeding the troll, but I doubt he even has a method either.
No worries guys... I've figure out how to create an exact replica (taste, smell, and feel) of the female anatomy using three pieces of rye bread, a jar of peanut butter, and four safety pins. I'll have the cobstruction tutorial up tomorrow.
But seriously, this guy is full of it. He's probably a 13 year old kid living in his parent's house thinking he's funny.
Troll! Close this **** and ban the douche IMO.

Honestly, downgrading isn't really that hard anyway
Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So, we'll hunt him, because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian. A watchful protector. A Dark Knight.

How is the One X and how is the rom support?

Hi guys, looking at buying a One X possibly tomorrow, tossing up between that and a Nexus, so I'm just wondering how the roms are for the One X, are they fully functioning? How is Jellybean? Does the camera work 100%?. I just want to make sure I'm making the right decision, I don't like sense tho haven't used it since 2.3.4, so I'm looking to rom basically as soon as I get it, and I need to know if everything is working, or if there are missing things and big features missing etc. Also how do you like your One X?
here we are again... everything is alright (for me) and official JB is near
Thanks for the reply. So everything is unlocked and relatively easy to flash roms and all that? Just don't want to make a very expensive mistake that's all

Its not hard at all to be honest !
And yes its worth it, its an amazing device.
And now with the build quality being FINALLY issue free(ish) then yeah I'd go for the HOX.
The dev section is extremely active and the ROMs and support are brilliant.
Can't comment for the Nexus though as I only have the Nexus 7, but again that is active and good support.
So if I was you, I'd pick the one that looks/feels more of a phone for "you" and don't worry about unlocking etc. As it can be done on both
And on that note, I think the HOX is a much nicer looking phone.
YES IT VOIDS WARRANTY AS ALWAYS.
Hope this helps.
Depends on which Nexus you're talking about.
LG Nexus > HOX > GNexus
