Root Android Ally Awesome

[savoxis]

So....
After trying to find buried posts for hours, and having trouble downloading files from mediafire and the others I decided to put together a kind of informational site for Ally development.

It is by no means done, I will constantly be changing things. If you see anything that needs to be changed/added/removed let me know and I can facilitate your requests.

I will update at least once a week as new advancements become available. Enjoy

Very helpful for people just starting out. If you read these threads, many of which just link to other threads, that then link to other threads, eventually your head is spinning and you're clueless as to where to start. You're doing a good job so far with providing an actual explanation of this stuff! Don't assume the reader has any clue and you'll be set. Thanks!

Very cool you compiled all this info in an easy to find way.

Might I add, I didn't see anything in regards to setting up the Android SDK or getting ADB running. I think that's a very important piece of information to have accompany all the other info.

 

[savoxis]

Yeah its still a work in progress, expect to see instructions for sdk configuration soon in the Tips and Tricks section

 

[Math-Uhhh-Saurus]

I was looking at the screenshots of the themes you have on there and I was wondering what is the name of that battery status widgit you have? is it from Beautiful Widgits?

 

[savoxis]

No its actually something RedFury turned me on to, its called BattStatt available free in the market

 

[Math-Uhhh-Saurus]

cool! I've been looking for something like that and thanks :]

If you like the text-based widgets, there's a similar clock widget called tajm.

 

[savoxis]

Added fastboot method to recovery section.
Added SDK setup to Tips and Tricks

 

[death2all110]

If you would like you can add a link to my guide on there

 

[Trident]

That site is AWESOME!

Thanks for all of your work on it savoxis!

 

[savoxis]

If you would like you can add my guide on there

Thats, I want to put it up next as that guide is very good for phones that seem screwed.

 

[killertonez]

UPLOADSPACE HAS BEEN PHASED OUT AND REPLACED WITH www.savoxis.com/upload/




Well I got bored today and grabbed some cool php scripts for a nice little bit of awesomeness, so I bring you:
SUPER AWESOME FREE UPLOADSPACE

Open registration will only be available for a limited time, I have set the quota to 500mb per user to prevent abuse, the max filesize is set to 150mb. If you need more space please contact me.

Once your files are uploaded they are available by going to the:
SUPER AWESOME USERSPACE AUTOINDEX


Enjoy guys, please dont abuse. Android business only

I was going to add your guide today but it looks to be the same steps as manual installation


If anyone has any other guides on rooting that would be great, I need one that doesnt use asroot or univeral androot, as these may not work forever

Ok after looking into it I found that my UserSpace tools where NOT working correctly..


So I fixed it by adding a SUPER AWESOME BADASS SCRIPT OF ULTIMATE POWER

Ryan, I would be happy to help you get your new phone all hacked up. The best way to get interactive support would be to jump on IRC, Im on during the daytime and there are lots of other helpful individuals if I am not around
