Root DD10 Released

[Jack321]

Now if uninstalling the sprint apps was so simple... lol

(no really)

I was going to reply here, but I decided to start a new thread in the "root" section:

remove stock apps with root explorer

 

[jr_mfn_p]

any word on if this is compatible with jit 3.5?

Are the DD10 files uploaded anywhere else besides SDX? My kids are finally settled and I was going to try to install but I can't get to the site now (I know, no one can). Grrr...

Read the thread. I posted the files on my own web space and provided instructions.

Got it, thank you and sorry, I know that's annoying,

There is a jit 4 beta for DD10 now.

10-4 any word on stability issues?

I just flashed it a few minutes ago, so far it seems a lot faster.

when i boot into recovery mode i don't have anything like clearing cache, i only have :
1. reboot system now
2. apply sdcard: update.zip
3. wipe data/factory reset
4. wipe cache partition

when i click apply update.zip it says

"install from sdcard...
finding update package...
opening update package...
verifying update package...
e:signature verification failed
installation aborted.
"

If you are seeing the above options I don't believe you have the right recovery. I would head back to post 13 of this thread and read the requirements again. "apply sdcard:Update.zip" is not part of joey's recovery 2.1.3. Its an older recovery version.

Again, I would go back to post # 14 of this thread by cosine83. He has it in pretty plain language.

idk what to do? i put those 2 files in the sd card root folder.

EDIT": Nevermind......It was already answered.

I don't have JIT installed. Too unstable for me. Random reboots and random lag form it. With DD10 everything has smoothed itself out and is about as fast as joey's 1.9.5 kernel for 1.5.

Well seems some of the things that are most disruptive to me, are still disruptive, even after DD10, so I hope there is still some work going on before final release. GPS still sucks, never can find me on Maps, wifes Blackberry instantly identifies us, and BB driving directions are great. Still getting beeps when service is interupted with no disable available. Can not seem to get Haptic keys to work either. Also I had to turn off notifications to stop the annoying tones when plugging and unplugging the unit now. Battery suffers dramtically when Background Data or WiFi is active too, plus I have to reboot to gain datas after using wifi or internet extendly almost constantly now.

Probably 50% better to me overall with the things it does correct, international call, speaker/mute cheek issues, overall performance as well.

[jr_mfn_p]

Don't worry about clearing cache.

Does multi touch work with dolphin browser? How's the 3d engine with android 2.1.. Are the polarbit games a lot smoother?

 

[cosine83]

No.
Meh.
No clue, I don't use my phone to play crappy phone games - only emulator games.

Read post 76 on this thread and click on the link. It has to be the easiest way I've seen yet, cost $2.01 USD though, but it was worth it to me, and that program will come in handy down the road.

I don't have .01 cent to spare....

There is more than one way to skin a cat, that was just the easiest one that I've seen. Check the "all things root" section, the other ways could be found there.

Android2.1-DD10-SDX-update.zip
system_update_dd10.tar (this does not come into play ANYWHERE except inside the .zip file itself, so don't do anything with it except have it present on your SD card with the .zip file)

My daughter has a Vista laptop that wants to dl/save the .zip file as a zip compressed "folder" My Vista laptop on the other hand saves it as a .zip file. Mine installed properly hers isn't even identified during the process. My computer has WinRAR installed, could that be the reason why mine worked and hers doesn't? Any suggestions? TIA

Yes, WinRAR would cause that because it re-associates how windows handles zip files. Whatever you do dont run/open the file because every computer will handle it differently. Just download it by right clicking on the link and choosing the "Save Target As" option.

A zip compressed "folder" is just the built-in support for zip archives in Windows that's been present since Windows XP SP1. Just don't worry about opening it, only save. WinRAR or built-in doesn't matter, they handle zips the same. Probably just got a bad download or bad transfer to SD, it happens.

She has tried it multiple times, it has not worked. She saved it to her desktop several times, transferred them to her SD and the zip file didn't show as an option when applying zip from SD.

Make sure the phone is not plugged into the computer. If it is mounted to the computer, the card will not be accessible by the phone.

Perfect!!! Merely saving it to the desktop didn't work. Thanks loads.
This may not be the right place, but I'm going to ask it anyhow.
In Helix Launcher, how do you select which of the 5 pages you want to be the home page? And what's so special about live wallpaper? I like having the 4 icons at the bottom of each page. But that's the only benefit I can see over PandaHome.
