In trying to enable the webtop app I renamed the PortalApp.apk to PortalApp.apk.bak. Now I get an error message:
"The application com.android.portal (com.android.portal) has stopped unexpectedly.Please try again."
I know, I shouldn't have renamed that apk when in the thread it didn't say to but I figured I needed to replace that too. I've learned my lesson.
How can I go about fixing this?
Connect your mobile to computer .
I hope you have adb checked already!
Open cmd.
And write:
adb shell
su
(and TRY TO ALLOW on the phone)
mv system/app/PortalApp.apk.bak system/app/PortalApp.apk
If you can't allow SU request, respond here. To give a try with same commands on early usb enumeration!
If I helped, hit thanks button

I do have the sdk installed and I've used it before but I've forgotten how to get to it. Just typing "adb shell" on the first line of cmd won't do much help if I'm not in the right directory.
With windows explorer!
Find your sdk folder. Enter it.
Copy everything.
Go to Windows folder, and paste everything!
Now you have "adb" command directly in your cmd prompt!

My bro has not long got a Dell streak.. but has no computer to hook it up to.
Is there any way round flashing with fastboot?
The phone is already rooted.. so I just need to flash the recovery.
Can handle some command line stuff if anyone knows how to do it.
Thanks.

Bump!
The phone IS ROOTED already... So if I can mount /system I can delete the install-recovery.sh script so the stock recovery won't reflash.
But Rom manager flashes recovery to the wrong place apparently.
Can anyone tell me if 'flash_image' will work
My bro wants a custom Rom bad... But no pc to get him started

Maybe with terminal emulator, and clockwork on your sd card... Not sure tho, search the forums.
Just a brain storm.... But could I modify the install-recovery.sh script to flash cwm?

If someone could upload the script from their phone... Id really appreciate it.
Thanks

Yes it can be done with terminal on streak just make sure you su.
I will post the script for you if i get time
Cool... I knew it was possible.
He's definatley got Su privileges.. so just need to know the appropriate commands for him to type.
Thanks
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
At a quick guess
Name the recovery something like recovery
copy the Recovery to the SD card
Make sure you have a terminal app on the phone
On the phone, Run the terminal application and type su press enter
Note that the terminal's text prompt will change from # to $
If it doesn't, then you haven't "rooted" the phone. Go back and try again!
In the Terminal, type
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
when its done reboot the phone
Thats off top of my head but i think its right
For those of you who don't know exactly what the CRT animation is, it is the animation that Gingerbread uses when you press the power button and the screen gives a neat power off effect.
Well I wanted this. A lot. So I went out and did it. Just enabled it, and it looks gorgeous on my phone.
Please note, that you must be rooted in order to use this, and on Gingerbread.
It is a straightforward process.
PLEASE NOTE THIS REQUIRES ADB AND JAVA TO BE INSTALLED
A good idea to nandroid before this, as if something goes wrong it can screw up a lot of things.
Installation 1:
Download DX2-CRT-Animation.zip
Copy to sdcard
Flash in CWR
BIG THANKS TO p3droid FOR PACKAGING AS A ZIP
Installation 2 (the complicated, make you feel cooler, hardcore, original way):
This is modifying your framework-res so some themes may not work any longer.
Instructions:
[]Have phone plugged into computer, and in Charge Mode.
[]Download DX2-CRT-Animation.apk
[]Open Command Prompt (or Terminal) window in DX2-CRT-Animation.apk's location. (This can be accomplished by shift clicking on the folder where this resides, and clicking open command prompt here).
[]Push files onto the phone
Code:
adb push DX2-CRT-Animation.apk /data/local/tmp/framework-res.apk
[]Get shell access
Code:
adb shell
su
---When you enter this, make sure your phone is awake, as a Super User access allow/deny will pop up. Allow it.
In command prompt, you should now have a #.
[]Remove and copy files to proper location, reboot
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
stop
rm /system/framework/framework-res.apk
cp /data/local/tmp/framework-res.apk /system/framework/
rm /data/local/tmp/framework-res.apk
reboot
Whats next:
-Reverse CRT animation (hopefully!!!)
Any input is appreciated.
I am new to this. Give me your input, and help me get better.
Works great! Thanks!
I think everything is working as it should with crt animation working.
Directions worked well, I just had to change how I got into adb.
Great job.
This is awesome, however I'm a little confused. I'm no beginner by any means, but this looks to be outside the realm of what I've done.
When I go into the terminal, am I doing this from my computer? Or my phone (via Terminal Emulator)?
Here is what I'm thinking, and please tell me if I'm wrong:
Download apk
Enter terminal emulator
Type in all of your commands
Voila?
Sorry for all the newbness on this, but I'm dying for some CRT.
Thanks man!
Nevermind, I'm a fail.
I'm downloading the Android and Java SDK now.
I downloaded the necessary files. I can't get the first part to work.
"Open Command Prompt (or Terminal) window in DX2-CRT Animation.apk's location.
Can you explain this step more? I tried right-clicking...
People set up there adb differently. Important thing is to copy file to the directory of where your adb tools are. In my case its
/sdk/platform-tools
Hope this helps

Couldn't get it to work. Even had the IT guy from my work try to get it going. We couldn't get the terminal to find swt.jar
Is it possible for me to do this through root explorer, all through my phone? Change permissions and push it into the correct folder?
That would be awesome.
I am out of town but when I get back I will try to package a zip to flash.
Are you on linux?
If I can elaborate for you here:
When you download the apk, copy it to your documents folder. The use the cd command to change the directory to your documents folder. This is assuming you have your path files set up correctly. Hope this helps!

I've spent all day trying to get it to work. No dice.

Well, I tried both download links in the original post and each time it would successfully boot up but no CRT animation. I finally got it figured out as I have the X2 spare parts installed and had to turn off fancy input animations and now it works. Thanks for posting this.
EDIT: I take that back. I had to put the speed of transition animations to normal and can have fancy input animations enabled. For some reason this won't work when "fast" is checked.

Yes, you can root directly from your phone by using terminal emulator but you have to put photon-torpedo.tar to /data/tmp first. I rooted my photon on the phone itself.

Not sure if you were responding to me or the other guy but my MacBook and my Linux laptop both recognize my phone but they both say its offline when I try and use a adb. Some people say they have done this root without the computer and just using the terminal on the phone but I get permission denied messages since it needs root. I have super user installed but that does me no good without root. I want to know how they got past the permission denied using the terminal on the phone?

Make sure you have USB debugging checked. Menu > settings > applications > development. This was my problem when I first tried to adb the file to the /data/tmp folder on the phone.
Also, I was getting an error at "Run /data/tmp/photon-torpedo.sh," but I just ignored it and kept going. It worked. You can use root checker from the market to verify that you have root.

I would appreciate if somebody could tell me step by step on how to root my phone.
There are many different variants on the photon-torpedo method that you can find on these forums, the stickies, and through google search, but here is the step by step method I prefer. Credit goes to Edgan.
Photon Root Instructions
1. Create a folder in the C:/ drive on your Windows 7 machine called Photon root. (You can call it anything you want, but that’s what I called mine and will use for the purpose of this post).
2. Download and install the adb package from http://gititbit.ch/AFAS and install them into C:/Photon root.
3. Download photon-torpedo.tar from http://proton.cygnusx-1.org/~edgan/photon/photon-torpedo.tar and copy it to C:/Photon root in your windows machine. Do not unzip it.
4. On your phone, go to Settings > Applications > Development and select USB Debugging.
5. Plug your phone to your computer and on your phone, set it to USB Mass Storage.
6. Copy photon-torpedo.tar from C:/Photon Root to your phone’s internal storage using Windows 7. Don’t put it in any folder, and leave it zipped.
7. Install Superuser from the Market. (This is absolutely necessary to do before you get started or it won’t work)
8. Open the command prompt (Start >> run “cmd” >> enter)
9. Type the following commands – don’t worry about the errors, it will be all right
• cd C:/photon root • adb push photon-torpedo.tar /data/tmp • adb shell • cd /data/tmp • /bin/tar xf /data/tmp/photon-torpedo.tar • /data/tmp/photon-torpedo.sh • /data/tmp/install-su.sh
10. That's it. Reboot and enjoy.

You must've enabled Airplane Mode. VEGAn-Tab 7.1 has a bug in that setting: once activated, Airplane Mode is always set (internally). Reset it using the script attached.
Copy the script to the gTab; execute it as root; then reboot.

$ [B]su[/B]
# [B]sh [I]/some/path/[/I]reset_airplane_mode.sh[/B]

After you've copied the script onto the gTablet somewhere, open a Terminal Emulator window and type those 2 command-lines in (w/o the prompt chars--ie. only the stuff in bold). Substitute the correct path in place of /some/path/.
