Can someone point me to some instructions on how to use Root Manager? Or, if it is even on my phone.
I'm a little new, but have reflashed my phone to the .435 ROM, rooted it and installed JIT. I'm just not sure where to go on the phone to add some of the new features I want like a camera app from another memeber and a battery in the status bar.
Thanks!

You mean root explorer?
Mount R/W and mess around

It is only on your phone if you paid for it, no free version.

Okay, thanks for the replies.
28spawn wrote in his camera app instructions:
Instructions (new steps 2)
Using Root Manager copy the SemcCameraApplication.apk to /system/app overwriting the original one.
Long press on the overwrited app and select Permissions, and make sure that these options are checked: the whole first column and the first from the second.
So, I need to get Root Manager. It is an app???
I'll do some searching for it.

Or maybe pay for that kind of app?

For Root Explorer the R/W button, Menu button, and long presses are your friend.
Menu button is on the bottom left side of your phone.
Hope this helps.

workemail.apk works excelent (push email) but you cant sync contacs . so i suggets you to sync contacts with the emai.apk and pull your email with the workemail app.
I want this as well. Id like to use the built in calendar widget with my exchange calendar.
while you guys are searching some threads back, there was one which APK for both Calendar and eMail provided but they are not installable. There are some modifications need to be done which probably no one has touched them yet.
See if you can work around them.
I've been trying to get the vanilla SMS app working but with no luck. There is an issue with the display picture on the Message list screen. (See Screenshot). Anyone had any luck with these? I know the Sony SMS app is so slow its painful to use.
Here is a link to a thread that has the original email apk. Does anyone know how to install it. I was trying to get it on by cmd, but no luck. At the same time i uninstalled my original email.apk. So does anyone know how to get that too?

when we get the custom rom(SOON) then it should have the stock email app. I am not sure if it worths to dedicate time into this issue. I hate this as well but It won't kill me for little more time.

I take that back, it worths the investigation (with smart people) I couldn't make it work the first try but I bought the Moxier when I had 1.6.
Now I can setup another email for exchange.

It worked. When you copy to system/apps then click and hold on email.apk (you just copied) and select permission and check all the options. Reboot and works.
That is amazing...
Too bad stock 2.1 email has so limited exchange active sync support! 2.2 one is light years ahead. Too bad it won't work on 2.1..
The only hope of relatively good exchange active sync support is custom rom (2.2) or moxier/touchdown.

I haven't been able to send a MMS yet on this phone, but i can access the internet fine.
When you root, it doesnt necessarily mean that you wipe all and replace with a custom rom. it just gives you the power to access the inner device(and i mean software) of your phone in which a default x10 cant.
Try superoneclick in rooting. then install titanium backup. there you can delete those apps like rollercoaster and gold rush. then if you want, you can unroot it. for your pleasure
if somehow i have helped you. dont forget to press "thanks"
wrong root just lets you get rid of stuff you dont want get your facts right

Ok, to translate this quick:
1. Without root, you can't delete those apps. You may also need root explorere after you root.
2. Root doesn't delete everything.
3. You can move apps to sd if you root (and i guess you want that )
4. Tips: Enjoy!

Yeah something like that, Root the phone so i have access to delete the pre-installed apps i dont want or need.
I seen a program called 'Uninstaller' I could use after i root the phone.
After ive used superoneclick can i delete the icon/app from my phone and remain with root access?

[DELETED LG HOME APP ?] Recovery guide.

Hi,
Recently, I accidentally deleted my LG HOME app from my Optimus One (my phone was rooted). But since I was using GO Launcher Pro at the time, it didn't affect the phone functionality.
But then while playing with the phone I factory reset it, and whoosh ! I was left with no launcher screen at all (LG HOME being the default, which I deleted ). I was left with a blank screen, with just the notification bar.
HERE IS HOW I RECOVERED MY PHONE (and not the LG HOME app):
Step 1: Get a launcher app apk from somewhere and copy it to your SD card.
PS: Search on google 'go launcher ex apk' without the quotes. You can also search for ADW launcher or others (see android market).
Step 2: Turn your phone on.
Step 3: Get someone to call on your phone. Pick up the call.
Step 4: During the call tap the 'Add call button'. You will get the dialer pad, with contacts, call logs and favorites tabs as well.
Step 5: Go to contacts and click the menu hardkey to get the menu. Tap 'New Contact'.
Step 6: When you get the new contact form, tap the image with a '+' sign on it (It is used to add a contact image).
Step 7: Now you will get options as to where to get the file. Select OI File Manager.
Step 8: Navigate to the folder in which you copied the Launcher app (Go launcher, ADW Launcher or the like) and install it.
Voila ! You have a new launcher screen now.
PS : I was relieved when I finally got my launcher back. I was on the brink of flashing my phone to the stock KDW, which could've resulted in a bigger mess (Bricking etc.)
NOTE 1: If you factory reset your phone again, you will lose the launcher again, and will be back without a launcher screen. So make sure you don't do so lest you want to repeat Step 1 thru 8 again.
Word of advice: Make sure you have at least one launcher app installed on your phone (no matter which one, it should run).
USERS PLEASE UPDATE THE THREAD WITH OTHER ADVICES FOR THE PROBLEM.

But then you'd need to install all the android SDK and stuff on your PC.
This is just a work around. Of course, one would be in a problem if you don't have OI File Manager too.
Um, or use search button on phone and search for right app or what ever, search button on phone is pretty useful if you brick your rom. :]

Is my screen too bright, or am I just too ASIAN?!
I did it!!!!!!!
someone posted to use the search button, well, i used the search button to get me to 4shared.com and downloaded launcher pro. when it was done downloading i pulled down the notification thingy and pressed the download complete icon. it then installed launcher pro and everything is fine. thank u guys for all your help, and i hope this info helps someone else out.
Well,I have fastest method than this
Which I used when I do the same thing
Stock rom have default LG home which u deleted that,s why blackscreen comes
So
Just slide that notification bar and turn on internet and from PC go to market download launcher it will be directly download to your phone bcoz of on internet
And you got your launcher back

Yes you can extract the zip on sd card and you have to put the app in system/app and set the right permissions. You need root for this and a file manager that read internal storage like Es file explorer.

2.1 questions about apps

Hey , today i went back to stock from MiniCm7Pro. I have a few questions:
1. Can i get DSP manager on 2.1?
2. How to get rid of the annoying bar that is up when i slide out my keyboard?
3. Can i get the ICS theme apk to work on 2.1 ?
4. Can i get the status bar buttons ( like wifi etc.) when i slide it down on 2.1?
Sorry for all my questions, its just that i can nothing about app porting and that kind of stuff. All i can is innstall rom/kernel/edit keyboard input to my coutrys standard and that easy stuff xD
Sent from my U20i using XDA Premium App
1. the dsp manager is a feature unique to cyanogenmod, so dont think you can. However you can always try installing it. DL any rom with dsp manager, view the contents via windows explorer, go to system > app> copy the dspmanager.apk. install it. try normal installation first, if that doesnt work, try the process involving changin the root permissions.
2. err, what bar?
3. the ics theme, in the market, is again for cyanogenmod users. However you CAN dl the complete ICS launcher.
4. i dunno

flashing the clean version of stock ROM of pfonck you can get rid of the status bar and a lot of more things
For tha annoying bar, replace the 'squishinput.apk' in /system/app by the one in pfonck's rom. Then set the right permissions with root explorer (check it b4 replacing), reboot and you are done.

Accelerometer Calibration?

I have noticed that ever since I've had my atrix, the accelerometer has been off by a few degrees to the left. Does anyone know if there is a way to calibrate it? Maybe someone who is really familiar with android could tell me where to look in order to modify the values for the default calibration... I have no idea where to start.
Anyone else have this issue?

Hi man, sorry for bothering you again, but I tried to overwrite the file with the file that you gave me but when I tab on paste it says permission denied. My phone is rooted and I am ussing file explorer. What can I do to overwirte the file?
Depends of the file manager/explorer you must mount /system as r/w. In SE file explorer open left side menu, scroll down to root explorer, enable and tap it, you'll get menu with mount r/w option, select rw for system.
Yes, I have already done taht

I undestand what you say, I have already done that, that is why I can get to the system folder but when I try to overwrite the file it says permission denied. why? is it because the superuser app is updating its binary? I will wait until the update is over and try it again. Thanks
You may try to move file to safe location (BACKUP!!!) and then copy new one. Set permission as before.
yes man, Everything ready

the binary just finished updating and I just overwrote the files. Is this it to fix the calibration problem? or do I have to do something else?
Reboot your phone (will reboot itself if you try to use gps), go outside and test with GPS Status & Toolbox. Maybe you need to select internal gps in phone settings.
Good luck
a little something

Man, sorry about this but before I replaced the file (with its original file) the g-sensor on the bubble app use to give me the number 00,1 and 04, but now it gives 01,7 and 05,9. So I think that must be something in that file that I can change to fix that problem. Please can you xplain to me how to change the code of that file or if you can can do it for me it would be wonderful. thanks again.
Have a nice day
So still doesn't work?
