Does anyone know how to pull (not freeze) the stock camera/gallery on the Warp Sequent and replace it with a VERY similar one (JB+ by moblynx virtually same camera, just more options, like timer & editing), plus have it connect with Google Sync & account? Yes, I am Rooted and ROM'd with Awesome Android. Titanium backup & Root explorer doesn't show the camera app, only the gallery. So I'm lost and worried about crashing an awesome ROM without proper guidance. Thanks in advance for any possible help

You know I got ya back, and I will help anyway i can, but , i only used Awesome android for like 5 minutes, and didn't like the simplicity of it.
You have a good start with your process. You have root explorer, now you can navigate through your rom. if y ou want to delete the normal app by
changing the permission in root explorer to rw. basically , being able to write over/delete etc.but i would suggest saving them to your sdcard. then i would guess after you get rid of the old stuff you just add the files you want on your sd card and copy/paste them where the old ones were. This doesn't mean they will actually work on a rom that they are not made for. I don't really understand the part about you wasting a rom. I know you made backups. I dont see it bricking your phone. but with any kind of mods you have to be careful. Also, it probably wouldn't hurt to talk to shinru about his rom. He made it and would be the first person i would speak to. I wanted to make 10.1, so i spoke to the creator lol , and after butting heads for a while, now PG helps me out when i get in a bind. If I wouldn't have exposed EarlyMon for his duechebag ways , i'd still be droppin my opinions on that forum lol.. Hows your theme gig rollin big dog...?
You should rename the thread to "The beginning of Bcrichster's Themes and Mods" the title of a thread will bring in more people..
Also [tags] ..And a bad a$$ OPening statement for the first post, to tell everyone what you are about...Unless you just want it to be a question, but not many people will come to answer it. I been looking at other peoples question threads, most people just say "google it" lol
Thanx, bro! been trying to look into getting my hardrive a complete wipe and memory upgrade first cuz mine's pretty lacking in many areas and after I did an initial wipe/recovery - found all kinda spyware embedded in recovery files (NOT GOOD!). That's another topic for another thread elsewhere, lol. Long story short: PC got hacked from both mid Texas & tokelau island... So first things first. Wipe corruption & install Security! Lmao.. Fun don't wanna mod/theme something with corruption - everyone will hate that AND me for putting it out there. Next - WHICH FILE & WHERE (folder) do I find the camera? Do I just work w/the gallery? I've been modding this AA ROM to my own personal desires n stuff but I'm lost on this one? I DID ask Shinru but I'm waiting on his reply and he gets to be a busy dev. When I Do get my PC right, my thread's gonna be Titled: BCRichster's Monster T.I.P's (Themes In Progress) Theme titles will be based on sk8 Tricks & Guitars.. In fact, I think I'll reserve the title immediately
But for now, THIS thread is just gonna be a "help me!" Question, lmao

I got one word for you, KILL DISK, lol
It's free and it will knock any malware/virus da f#@k out lol
I use it even when i dont need to use it.
I told you about that theme studio, i tried to use it, and i had issues.
But i got ya back if you want to set up a kitchen, i can research the process.
Anyway ,just put KILLDISK on a usb and go to Bios and change boot order to USB
then as you restart it is going to start up..
Write zeros to everything..
Do you have a clean recovery?, i know you said your recovery was tainted..
Get the recovery disks , or if you don't mind linux is FREE..
I love me some Mint 14.. I previously said 15/ but it has a bug for wifi on my pc
If you run into issues, I'm almost always on here, while i'm at work.

OK, I'll consider Linux w/ proper info like: 1- what program will I need for internet connection - I USB tether my sequent for that. 2- Is it user friendly? As in, can I mouse click icons or do I need to command prompt everything (I'd need a guide for that)? 3- What kind of antivirus/anti malware program should I look into (or would it even need it?) I know that if I use Linux I'll be closer to android custom themes / mods. But need the right info for such a big transition. Maybe even dual boot...

Good news cousin, I am a Windows lover as well, so Mint 14 , theres hardly even a transition shock. I use wifi tether beta apk from Google play for internet. (and Kali linux(just kidding) I'm a White Hat !)
It's very User Friendly, I use Terminal everyday, but not for normal everyday activities.
Instructions for Dual-boot are part of step 1 on my tutorial if needed. and I don't use any Anti-virus program on linux. You can, but in linux there are very few viruses.
As far as Bios, it would be better to google " change boot order in Bios" before you muck about and B.S.O.D ur PC. You access it from different buttons for different PC's... mine is f8 at the top of the keyboard as you turn on your PC.. a prehistoric looking blue screen will pop up.

WiFi tether beta and my WiFi tether for root users doesn't exist on the playstore anymore. I use a USB tether (PDAnet.exe) for my PC. Will that work?

".exe" there is your problem. that file is a windows file, you may be able to get "wine" on linux to run it. but i don't know.. When you get your PC squared away, i will upload a apk for you, when it was on play store it was free, so no issues.
OK. My Linux program is on my only flash drive & It's giving me the option to completely overwrite windows with Linux mint 14, but it's not reading my phone (as a USB, media, ANYTHING!)..(maybe I should pull my mem card out of phone..?) without that, I have no way of transferring files of any sort to upload/download/install... Much less internet connection via USB from phone since I have an old PC tower & no WiFi dongle. If u could post or pm me everything I would need to make it work, I would be ecstatic! :beer:
I know less about how to go about Linux than I do anything else, but if u can help me get those things setup I can learn the rest. Installing Linux should completely wipe my Drive too.

Not sure. Y are you trying to mount it. You just hit install on all the hard drive. Go through the steps. Remove the live disk and reboot.
You may have to do it manually or do it alongside windows or use the .exe file . Is your windows still working?

So how you think we can go about getting a new root tool for the warp sequent, seeing as we need fastboot.?
there has to be a way around it
Maybe Java?? - in which I have no experience..

na ,man building aint all that hard, unless you have to build a device tree from scratch. Even with a 80 GB drive with PG'z d-tree, you could set up a single build , and theme it, and mod it.. and have your own $ROM$

Well, I'm not much of a guide person, but there's a great tool that's been out for a long time that has proven to be quite useful to me. THIS IS NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR FREEZA'S GUIDE. That's an excellent guide, and he deserves full credit for it. This guide is for those of you who want to trim/debloat after you flash. It also serves many other handy uses, which I shall explain in a few.
Also keep in mind, this will work on damn near ANY rooted Android phone. In fact, I used to use it QUITE a lot on my old Sprint Hero. This is essentially ADB without the need to know how to use the command line.
~~ This guide is a constant WIP ~~
What is Android Commander?
It's an all-in-one tool that was designed using adb. It provides the following:
[*]Complete root-based file manager
[*]Applications Manager
[*]Rebooting/Powerdown Abilities
[*]Storage Monitor
[*]All around awesome tool
It's completely free to use and is written by a talented XDA developer.
Requirements:
Windows XP or higher: As if I'm going to give you link to this
My little ADB Package: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/345001/Images/AC Guide/ADB.rar (For anyone wondering why I'm giving this seperate, it's to save you the trouble of having to download the entire android sdk and going through the convoluted method of using the SDK manager to grab adb)
Android Commander written by our very own XDA user PanPiotr: http://androidcommander.com/
1. Download my ADB package, and extract is somewhere. Inside is a folder called ADB, with two dlls and the adb executable. Remember where you put it.
2. Download and install Android Commander.
3. Right click and run Android Commander as administrator. It will ask you to set the ADB path near the bottom. Select the ADB folder that contains the 3 files above, which you downloaded already.
4. If it doesn't automatically start the app after selecting the folder, simply press exit, and run it again as administrator. This time, the app will start up
And this is what you see!

Now for starters, you'll notice a plethora of information. Try not to get overwhelemd. Android Commander is a ridiculously comprehensive utility. And the best part is that it's based entirely on ADB. Now, by default, you'll see your Windows files on the left pane, and the Android files on the right.
Let's begin with the debloating. Start by finding the "System" folder first.
From here, head on over to the "app" folder.
So this should be pretty self explanatory. Start selecting checkboxes for apps and bloatware that you don't want/need. Then, just click the "delete" button. It will delete them all in one shot.
I know this seems a bit anticlimactic, but that's more or less it for the debloating guide, because that's only one of the many uses AC has. Read on to the next few posts for a few scenarios/possibilities that you may encounter while using custom ROMs.
Basic Scenarios/Uses
This post covers basic scenarios and uses for Android Commander.
[If you've been directly linked to this post, please see the post above for information on installing and getting Android Commander up and running]
Remember, AC can start functioning as quickly as just moments after you see the white HTC screen. It doesn't have to be fully on for you to use AC and all its features. Android Commander can also be used from recovery as well.
Help! I used SetCPU, checked "Set On Boot", overclocked too high, and now my device is in a boot loop
Not a problem! I've done this too many damn times to count. The solution comes down to two options; one, be super fast when booting up and try and clock down SetCPU when you get in (very frustrating), or use AC! Remember, Android Commander can be used either in recovery or even during boot! So what we're going to do is start it up, and uninstall SetCPU. Let's open up Android Commander, and select "Applications Manager". It will ask you if you would like to update the list of applications, click yes.
From this point on, you can now see all of your applications. Simply click on one of the applications, and either uninstall it using the buttons above, choosing to delete its data or not.
By the time your device finishes rebooting, or when you boot out of recovery, you'll find SetCPU gone and your device no longer locking up and bootlooping! Easy, huh?
Did you know you can reboot the device from Android Commander?
Yes, you can . Simply click on the "Phone" menu up top:
Pick what you want to boot in. Also, yes, you see "screenshot" in there, but it currently doesn't work for the EVO 3D. It should for older devices though.
Did you know you can flash a recovery image through AC?
Indeed, you can.
More to come!
Advanced Uses - For Devs/Themers
This section is intended for both budding and veteran ROM cooks, modders, and themers.
Did you know that you can set file permissions with Android Commander? You can do what root explorer does, just fine. If you choose to use the 7.9.9.9 beta and up, you can easily set file permissions of any file, as shown below
MORE TO COME
First part of the guide is up
Thanks for this, I look forwards to seeing what more comes to this guide. Well done man.

Glad you find it useful. It's got a ton of potential for devs such as yourself, I'd highly recommend you experiment with it, there's stuff I still don't even know about yet.
It even has it's own pre-"su"'d command line built into it.

Thats a pretty slick app.
I did everything stated in the first post, and for some reason it doesn't say I am rooted. so I don't have the application manager. to be clear I don't need the SDK installed, just your file? I extracted it into a new directory and then set that as the path when I started up AC, it starts up, finds my phone, can explore it, reboot it, but it still says I am not rooted in the lower left corner of AC. I am not a noob when it comes to doing stuff with android, but am noobish with adb, never used it before, so i thought this would be a great tool for me to learn...if I can get it to work.

yep, followed everything in the first post...and yes, the phone is rooted. LOL. I am going to uninstall AC and try again, and see if that works...
problem - phones rooted - viper rom 1.2.1 stock kernal - downloaded the two files you have, installed your AC, and unzipped the ADB - start up, point it to that folder, then it has the little window that says DEVICE: NOT FOUND. have debug on, charge, i am the admin on the pc.
-----sorry------ now it runs only after i posted.... sometimes thats all it takes - now to test it out, looks very useful, and easy.... thank you
Thanks, Liquid. Way faster then using Root Explorer or manual adb. Wish I'd known about this ages ago.
Very usefull...but We realy need a UI manager to change icons ect....
Thanks Liquid - I used your LiquidSense ROMs over on the Hero side, and now that I've got my E3D, it's great to see you devving over here. I used Android Commander a lot on the Hero, so good to see it will still work for the E3D! Thanks for the Guide!

Great guide! I use Android Commander for just about everything. Nice point on using it to get out of a boot loop. I discovered that when I had my Hero, and it saved me many times.
Sent from my s-off Shooter!
I recently acquired an Asus EeePC (900 model) for practically nothing, and was frustrated by how slow WinXP ran on it (even after a fresh install). Being that it only has a 16GB SSD hard drive and I don't fully plan on dumping money into upgrading it, I figured it was ripe for some Android goodness. So, I've tried 3 different versions available at android-x86.org (2.2 R2, 3.2 RC2, 4.0 RC1). Each has their own pros and cons, but I've decided to stick with Froyo, as it seems to be the thoroughly most stable of the bunch.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with the whole thing. Boot-up times are lightning quick, and most things seem to work fast enough, but there is the issue of APK compatibility. I understand that the architecture between x86 and ARM processors lends to a lot of apps simply not working. I was hoping to use Google Voice and Groove IP to be able to make phone calls using my home's WiFi network. I have no problem establishing a strong connection (both through WiFi and Ethernet), and Google Voice installs and syncs to my account with no problem, but I can not get Groove IP to install. My grasp of it is that until Groove's makers build the program to work on x86 architecture, I'm out of luck.
That's all well and good, but are there any other options I can look into? Search terms I come up with are vague at best and generally lead to dead ends. It isn't a deal-breaker for me either way, it just seems like a decent use for this little netbook.
Could you tell me how did you boot android from usb\/ cause i think that u did it using usb not sd card. Cause i have eeepc 1202nl and i cant boot android 4.0 rc1. Did you change sth in cd image files?
I pretty much just followed the install instructions HERE.
I used UNetbootin to make a bootable USB stick. Since I posted this thread, I have since switched to the 4.0.1 version for the EeePC. As long as you have a decent WiFi connections, it runs amazingly. The nice thing about going the UNetbootin method, is that you can boot from the USB and run it like a "LiveCD" version without altering anything on your hard drive, or go through the business of formatting and doing a clean install.
Basically, just download the version of Android x86 you need from the website, download UNetbootin, and when they are done, put the USB drive in the computer you downloaded the ISO and program to.
On UNetbootin, here's how you do it.
1. Click on the bubble about 3/4 of the way down where it says "Disk Image"
2. If it doesn't say so already, select "ISO" from the drop-down menu.
3. Select the Android ISO you want.
4. On the very bottom, make VERY SURE it says "USB Drive" for Type and that you select the correct Drive Letter for your USB drive.
5. Press OK, let it do its thing. When it is finished, Click the button to Exit, then properly unmount and remove your USB drive.
With your netbook turned off, plug in the USB stick. When the BIOS screen comes up, press the ESC key on the keyboard to bring up the boot menu. From there, choose a "Live" installation to test it out and run it from the USB stick, or choose to install it on a partition of the hard drive.
One last bit of advice, if you do elect to do a full installation, it isn't a bad idea to partition your hard drive. The maximum amount of memory Android-x86 will recognize is 2GB (1GB as "onboard memory" and 1GB as a dummy SD card). If you did a 3GB partition on your hard drive, it will be plenty of space for the full install of Android-x86 with the maximum amount of memory, and you'll still have the bulk of the hard drive left for a Windows, Linux, etc installation.
So today I have enough time to try run android on my asus and i cant do it. As i know u are the only one person with android x86 on asus I have one ask:
1. unebootin is booting and i can choose option to run/install android
2. than i got "detecting android-x86....", "found at /dev/sdb1"
3. than change resolution and "A N D R O I D [email protected]:/ # _"
4. after that i got sth like this (sry cause i did it in paint, but i cant make screenshot/good photo):

Glad you got it working. The installs seem to be a little weird. I had to wipe and install 3 times before I got a fully functional ICS install on my roommate's EeePC.
As for root, you should have it. My ICS install came bundled with Superuser. The only issue I'm having is adding apps to the accepted list.

As far as getting an internet connection...
On Froyo, I am able to establish a connection with both WiFi and a wired ethernet connection.
On ICS, I can get a good WiFi connection, but no wired ethernet connection.
However, I put ICS on my roommate's EeePC with the standard HDD instead of the SSD that mine has and he was unable to connect to the WiFi. I'm not 100% sure why that was the case. I think his is a 700-series EeePC while mine is a 900-series.
Hi
I'm new to running android on my netbook but not new to android, and I was wondering whether there's an easy way to change the resolution?
Idk what the default resolution it uses but my HP Mini runs on the standard 1024x600.. this was the only fault I could find with running android x86
I changed the ppi using root explorer but no matter what change I make, on rebooting, the launcher FC's and I pretty much can't do anything else, so I have to reinstall the whole thing
Does anyone know how to change the res? Right now, it's probably something like 800 x 480 or something
Is there no official x86 port of Android? I thought I read about it somewhere... but can't find anything, so I'm probably mistaken. On the other hand though Intel has already released Android devices which run on their x86 processors. Are they not bound by the GPL (of Linux) to release the sourcecode? I am quite confused...

Sorry, but you completely missed the point. With Condi's AIO Tools you may spoof the device for system update to see it as an older firmware, it's also a part of a rescue-backdoor (but not the necessary part).

Hi guys,
Just want you to know, that I've for first, successfully
started USB MASS STORAGE mode on Sony Tablet S!!!
Without any additional software!
That USB MODE is not even available in system settings,
system notification on the device says:
"Connected as an installer" lol.
Gonna figure everything out, to be an easy to use
...and most probably I will add this feature in next AiO
Its a good day

Doesn't UMS normally leads to new drives appearing on the PC's file explorer, like while inserting an USB key?
In the case of the tablet, one drive for the internal SD card, another for the external one if there's one inserted...
The "gadget" link shown by your screenshots is neither what we expect for a MTP link. It reminds me what I see when connecting a device in fastboot mode.
But well... We will know all the story in next AiO!

OK then, for example - show me how you are working with your external SD on MTP mode, of course without taking it out and putting in card reader?
It will be also helpful for Linux and Mac OS users.
The 'gadget' is just as I expected to be.
Also 'gadget' reminds me a nice cartoon from my childhood - inspector gadget
Below is a quick video, sorry for quality and shaking hand lol:

Thank you. I thought it was something to do with that. I am unrooted ICS so I was just curious.

So, tell me the steps to turn it on.
There is no such option on this device.
On ICS it is. Like on my Galaxy S 2, but not here.

Oh Nesquick - one more example Try to open some file directly from 'mtp drive' - some .doc etc, modify it, and try to save it. You will not.
Its been copied to tmp dir, no 'direct access'.
Thats why I hate MTP mode.
Current state of my USB Mass Storage mode is which needs one reboot after running. Im trying to find the solution for direct change.
If we would have kernel access, then it would work already..
But we dont. To be continued

Condi, I've no trouble with MTP... Or should I say, I've the same troubles as anybody else. Horrible on my Linux platforms, slow, uneasy to use and even worst whith my Nexus which has no SD card slot.
What I tried to say when looking at your screenshots was they aren't looking like something known : no drive on Windows explorer, no Sony tablet device, just the "gadget" link. Your video later shows an E:\CONDISD showing that you've win the race.
As I was saying, the "gadget" link appears when I connect something in fastboot mode to my PC (in the USB menu of my VirtualBox Windows XP VM to be precise) and I was thinking that you may have put your finger on some low level USB thing (showed by the tablet as an installer!) which could open some perspectives.
Of course, I know that you're the first here to see exploitable perspectives and one of the only people here able to do something with them but who knows...
By the way, I'm thinking of an adb based file explorer. No time to do it myself but many people have already done it. Just google "adb file explorer" and choose the one that best match your needs.

I like Android Commander as an explorer using ADB (btw from aanother Polish dev)
Good morning folks,
fist want to say ... Condi well done .. I thing is a work in the right direction ..
Currently I use a workaround with apps like AirDroid as a WLAN file explorer.
Additional advantage, you need no USB cable (but WLAN connection).

How to for n00bs:
Beaups Moonshine S-OFF for the Droid DNA
(Note: This guide will assume that you are complete noob with android and linux, BUT that you are not too dense to google basic things and infer basic differences between PC setups)
YOU WILL NEED:
1 Laptop or Desktop with internet access
1 32bit Linux (Ubuntu or Mint preferred, Mint to be used in this guide) liveUSB or liveCD (liveCD preferred, and what will be covered in this guide)
1 Stock Droid DNA with the 2.06 firmware update (2.04 is reported to work, but more success seems to be had with the updated firmware) WITH AT LEAST 80% BATTERY LIFE
1 Factory HTC/Droid micro-usb (Or any cable you know will work with ADB)

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Prepping your computer:
1: Burn a liveCD of your linux distro of choice. Mint is my choice due to having great out of the box compatibility with hardware.
2: Insert liveCD into your PC, turn it on (or reboot), and enter boot menu (typically esc, f8, or f12 pressed during start up) and select “Boot from CD Drive”.
3: Allow liveCD to boot, it may take some time depending on the speed of your hardware. This is good time to prepare your phone for shining.
Prepping your phone:
1: Update to the 2.06 firmware update, if you have not already. If you cannot OTA, you can find guides to flash said firmware update elsewhere on XDA
a: If you are unsure what firmware you are on, go to “Settings”, “About”, and “Software Information” and it will have your firmware listed.
2: Disable any sort of screen lock. Image lock, facelock, pin lock, doesn't matter, it MUST BE DISABLED FOR THIS TO WORK
3: Disable “Fastboot”. “Settings”, “Battery”, UNCHECK “Fastboot”
4: Enable USB Debugging. “Settings”, “Developer Options”, “USB Debugging”
5: Boot into fastboot (turn off phone, reboot holding down POWER button and VOLUME DOWN button simultaneously). Select “Factory reset”. Allow phone to reset and reboot. Go back into settings, repeat sets 2 and 3 if necessary.
Downloading, unpacking, and excecuting moonshine.
1: On your live linux session, that is connected to the internet, go to www.moonshine.io
2: READ EVERYTHING
3: READ EVERYTHING AGAIN
4: Download the .tgz file relevant to your device (for most of us this will be the Verizon DNA file “moonshine_dlx_2.06.605.1.tgz”
5: Go to the folder your .tgz was just downloaded to. This should be your “downloads directory”
6: Right click anywhere in your download directory and select “Open in Terminal”
7: Extract the moonshine .tgz by typing out the following command into terminal “tar -zxf moonshine_<device>_<version>.tgz” For the Verizon DNA this will be “tar -zxf moonshine_dlx_2.06.605.1.tgz”
Your download directory should look like this when done
(Unfortunately, after this, the iPhone I was using to take pictures died, so there are no more pictures after this, but everything is very straightforward)
At this time plug your phone (which has been factory reset, rebooted, and all things listed in the “phone prep section” have been double checked) into your PC via your HTC/Android USB cable.
8: Execute the “Distiller” by typing the following command into terminal “sudo ./distiller”
9: Agree to the onscreen prompts, sit back, relax, DO NOT F**K WITH YOUR PHONE, and let the shine do its magic. This should take five to fifteen minutes and your phone will reboot several times.
10: Enjoy S-OFF and root.
ALL CREDIT GOES TO BEAUPS AND THE MOONSHINE DEV TEAM, this is simply a shoddy step by step guide by a n00b for n00bs to (hopefully) get more comfortable with the idea. This may be reproduced, altered, or edited in anyway as long as credit is given to me (DWC2134) for the original text and pictures and to the DEVS who brought us this awesome utility. In fact, PLEASE edit, improve, and revise this as you see fit for use by new android and linux users. Any changes suggested in this thread will be taken into account and incorporated into the OP.
Toubleshooting:
1: If you are experiencing the "temproot failed" problem, first try a hard reboot, then a factory reset + hard reboot if the reboot alone does not solve the problem.
2: There is some chatter of questionable validity that VZW is trying to push an update to stop SOFF. If you are having trouble, turn off your radios and/or put your phone in airplane mode while attempting moonshine. While most, myself included, doubt the validity of this claim it is better safe then sorry.

Yes or the exploit will give an error saying there aren't enough 32 bit libraries. I tried on a 64 bit and got that error. I re did my live cd to use 32 bit ran the exploit and it worked flawlessly.

Nice howto I did the s-off yesterday worked great. I'm on windows 7 64 bit and installed 32 bit mint.
For people doing this like op said install and use 32 bit just easier and if you're on a 64 bit system doesn't matter 32 bit installs fine.

Very nice "How To' for us Windows PC peeps dwc2134...thank you.
I have a couple of questions if anyone can answer:
1) I haven't seen any other procedure where "Factory Reset" is called upon. Is there a specific reason?
2) I have a burned image of "Ubuntu-13.04-desktop-i386.iso" on USB Stick that runs v/smoothly on my laptop w/Vista Ultimate, but I can't seem to get to terminal screen. I do however see all of the Moonshine flies in download folder when in Ubuntu and "moonshine_dlx_2.06.605.1.tgz"
Please forgive the noobish Q's
Thx in advance
First of all, thank you dwc2134 for providing this guide! I am very new to this scene (Android rooting) and this guide helps out TREMENDOUSLY since I have no knowledge about terminal/command prompts.
However, after re-reading this guide and the instructions at moonshine.io, I have some questions in my head that are preventing me from going further (If anyone here can answer any of my questions, it would be most appreciated!)
1. At the Instructions page on moonshine.io, Step 8 says "Use the matchingStockRUU..", I have no idea what this, is this something I should worry about? I have not modified my Droid DNA in anyway whatsoever ever since I got the device. I only did the 2 OTA updates (2.04 and 2.06) and that's it.
2. In this guide (dwc2134's) on Step 8 where it says to execute the "Distiller", do I type it into the same terminal window I extracted the Moonshine.tgz file?
3. Once the whole process finishes, and I go back to the fastboot screen to see the glorious text that reads: "S-Off", does this mean my phone is rooted and I can install apps like SetCPU off the bat? Or do I have to flash a custom ROM and if so, can anyone recommend a "tried-and-true" ROM?
Once again, if anyone can answer my queries, it would be very helpful. Thank you in advance!

OK, fingered it out. This may just be of some help to others here. ubuntu-13.04-desktop-i386.iso wouldn't get into "terminal" BUT, linuxmint-15-cinnamon-dvd-32bit.iso does.
Does anyone know if it absolutely necessary to "Factory Reset" DNA with this Mooshine S-OFF method?

1: While not ENTIRELY necessary for a successful moonshining, performing the factory reset and hard reboot seems to solve the "temproot failed" problem several users (myself included) have expierenced.
2: Mint is my go to, so it may be slightly different in ubuntu. You can also open terminal by pressing ctrl-alt-T or by going to your applications menu (or the search in the dash) and searching for "Terminal" and then inputting "cd ~/downloads". This will, for lack of better words, open your download directory in terminal so that the commands you input specifically look for, and effect, the files there. You may have to alter the "~/downloads" portion slightly to get you to the correct directory, but looking at the filepath on your computer it should be pretty obvious.

1: If you have not modified your phone in anyway, and have received the OTAs, then that is irrelevant to you.
2: Yes. Or in another terminal window opened in your "downloads" directory, though opening a second window seems kind of pointless.
3: Moonshine installs superuser to your device, so YES YOU CAN install custom apps like SetCPU right off the bat. I would recommend first installing a custom recovery (I am using CWMs new touch version) and making a nandroid backup before doing anything else, personally. I would also highly recommend installing a custom rom instead of putting in too much time with the stock sense rom. There are so many fantastic roms out for this phone, it would almost be a waste not to. A lot of folks swear by the ViperROM. I'm currently using it and love it.

Thanks for clarrification. I decided to Mint and all is perfect! Ubuntu was a challenge considering I'm not an Apple guy and Linux is greek to me. As for the "Factory Reset", I'll gamble only 'cause I'm configured to my liking and not in mood yet to spend a day getting everything back. Thx again!
All's well that ends well. If you end up having the temp root problem, try a hard reboot first and then a factory reset.

You can find the .iso image for any distro you want online. I prefer Linux Mint, though Ubuntu is another crowd favorite. You can make a bootable USB, but I find it easier to make and use liveCD/DVDs. A pack of burnable DVDs is $2.89 at CVS. Google is your friend for the rest of this, it is all VERY self explanatory and most distro sites put step by step instructions right on their website.

Followed the guide...booted from USB Ubuntu. No problems. Connected to moonshine.io, clicked next, next, but when I selected the DNA version, I get the error:

...and no download.
Any ideas? I see another person has posted this in the developers section. Is there a link problem?

This is spot on. I did my first live cd related to rescuing crucial data on a government computer with a corrupt OS a few weeks ago. I googled "How to make a bootable live cd USB drive" and literally in five minutes I was booted into my Ubuntu distro.
One thing I did learn is with Ubuntu there's a lot of alternative distros on their main site with all the links. After not having the option to boot without making any changes I went to my google-found guide again and realized only ubuntu distros with "desktop" in the filename would give me the live boot option I needed for the task at hand.
One of those small details I overlooked, that was solved by a quick recheck with google.
EXCELLENT GUIDE, I'm really impressed.

Yep, google has most any answer you could ever need if you search enough. The only reason I promote liveCDs over liveUSBs is that I think they are a touch easier to make and use. For some reason I have always had a hard time getting liveUSBs to work.

I doubt it is Verizon, most likely a bandwidth issue or hosting service issue. Seems to be common with everyone trying to download moonshine right now. Sounds like there is trouble with the download limit counter. I knew I should have kept a backup copy of the .tgz
No, when I tether I use one of the free solutions. I got bumped off of unlimited, so I tend to use more wifi then phone data. You NEED an internet connection that is not reliant on your phone for this to work. Moonshine actively connects to the internet during the ./distiller program.

Hey Xda developers,
I'm kinda frustrated at the moment so I'm sorry if I sound that way. I recently bought a Sony Xperia Z Ultra (for 2 months now). And yesterday I came to the conclusion that I had cracks in my screen. Not long after that I realised that my touchscreen was dead too. How did this all happen? I have no clue as to why but probably because I always put it in my pocket all day. It probably couldn't handle the forces while bending my leg when sitting while the thing is pretty big. (so my advice is don't put it in your pocket).
After that I thaught I'm so happy that I have an extra insurance on my phone. But my happiness was soon gone when I called the insurance company wich told me there was no record stating I had an insurance.
A lot of phonecalls later they said everything is gonna be allright and they will fix it (i told them I had evidence in my mail). So I decided to copy all my data from my broken Sony Xperia Z Ultra.
The Touchscreen is defective but it still powers on and android seems to be running fine. I had no problem with phonerecordings photos screenshots movies etc. Then I came to my notes/memos which took my whole day and I still haven't figured it out.
Here is the problem:
I can acces the internal memory from my phone but a lot of files and folders are not displayed including the databases which hold the memos at least thats what I think.
I have a Sony Xperia Z Ultra and c6833 model (European version I believe) it has stock firmware on it, its rooted and has SU on it. The Usb debugging mode is on. I'm using windows 7 ultimate and the normal (windows) file explorer (I don't think this is the problem). Show hidden files folders and drives is activated all the boxes that begin with hide are unchecked. When googling I stumbled on a lot of answers with folder options in windows. This is not the problem, the problem is that windows sees the internal memory as a device not as a driveletter. Therefore Windows hides these system files and folder options doesn't effect that (atleast thats how I understand it).
Since my device is rooted I know there most be a solution. An android expert answered that if your phone is rooted you can acces it without the touchscreen. Sadly he didn't post the solution for that. Here is the thread:
http://www.justanswer.com/android-devices/7a5nt-folders-starting-dot-s2-using.html
I've read about ADB but i'm not sure how this might help me I found some information about how to use ADB for flashing a new rom but ofcourse thats not what I want.

There are some topics right here on xda developers showing me the directory on where to find the memo database but I can't even see those folders:

(someone also suggested using Kies but I don't have a Samsung obviously)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1534157
I also tried using PC Companion from Sony. Sadly I saw no option to copy memo's with the backup utility so I called Sony. They told me its not possible to copy notes after the spokeswomen asked a few colleagues there was also no other way of syncing notes with the pc she said. (remember that I can't install any apps or do anything on the phone since the touchscreen doesn't work not even marginally)
So I kinda ran out of options so the only thing left for me to do was to create a topic right here. Any detailed information on this matter would help tremendously (at least I hope). I really want to have those notes So any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Man, you are very lucky that you had USB debugging enabled! Adb is indeed the way to go, if you know the directory you want then you need the PULL command:

If you're unsure of which directory or file it is, it's possible the below will work to copy off all apps and data although I'm not sure how it'll treat system apps:

Or, a more complex but entirely more reliable process below:

Hope that helps.

Thank you so much for posting your reply. I've been very busy these days but I finally got to it.
I was able to get in to the Z ultra using the ADB method but sadly I had no succes.
I could see more then I could using windows explorer but the data folder was empty. I don't understand what went wrong because I'm sure my device is rooted (titanium backup worked very well and I had SU installed). Sadly I didn't make any recent backups with Titanium backup. I see more people that can't see there data folder on there device while its rooted so I guess I'm not the only one.
For other people this ADB method would work very well I guess.
Maybe its the way I rooted my device I don't know. (I used a Chinese programm then let Su take over root control)
Anyway thanks for the help. My device is beeing picked up tomorrow for repair so I'll just factory reset it.

Why make this so complicated with ADB? Use a file manager on your device like root explorer. Find the files, copy them to your SDcard partition in a new folder. Connect to your pc and copy/paste the files to your computer.
Here's my data folder. Copying files from here everyday from an app

Bit late. But like superuser said find the files and copy them to your sd card. If you touchscreen doesn't work then you will need an otg cable and a mouse and control phone that way when touchscreen has gone.
