Trouble updating ADW.launcher on CM6 aria

Couple of questions I need help on.
Can we install the updates for ADW.launcher from the market if we are running CM6 or should we download the specific cm6 download from here http://code.google.com/p/adw-launcher-android/downloads/list.
What is the mdip version listed in the link above? Is it for the Aria?
Now, say I have the file from the link above and want to install it.
Can I
1) boot into recovery
2) plug the phone into usb
3) mount the system partition from within recovery
4) use the adb install command to install adw.launcher.apk
If this is a good proceedure why would I get a /bin/sh pm not found error?
Any ideas?

When you install google apps for cyanogen, it says that the Aria is an MDPI device, so I would assume you need the MDPI version.

Ok thanks, of course I tied to install the wrong one.
It did not help to get the right one anyhow. The version listed on the phone remains 1.1.4. after a so called install from the adb.
update: Finally got the update installed. Forget about using the adb install command with CM6 for some reason it does not work. Just boot into recovery, mount the system partition and then push the file into /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk and all is well.

another option is to just install it from the market. The download linked above has a market barcode link. I did it that way and it updated fine for me.

[Q] Android Rooting

I am currently working on a project for my computer forensics course. I am trying to gather methods used to root Android's without having to install a custom ROM and lose the data held on the internal memory. I would appreciate it if people could help me generate a list of known methods for older and newer versions of Android.
--------------
E.g. AndRoot - used on versions lower than v2.27.651.6?
Universal AndRoot - used on v2.1
SuperOneClick
Unrevoked
--------------
I plan to roll back my HTC Hero to use the older ROM's and attempt the exploits. Does anyone recommend somewhere to get older stock ROM's from?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Z4Root is an app I used from the market that will root your phone without a PC.
1) Install Z4Root
2) Run app and hit "Perm Root"
3) Phone reboots and installs SU
4) Done

[Q] Root HTC HD2 with froyo and MAGLDR

Hello guys, last friday I successfully installed Froyo on my HTC HD2 and now I want to use the application MarketAccess but it throws an error when I try to emule the T-Mobile USA SIM(actually any that I try to emule), it says:
You need root(superuser) to use this application. It looks like "su" is not available on your device.
Please root your phone and ensure that "su" works fine.
I have superuser installed, could anyone tell me if my phone is rooted if not how to do it with this phone(remember that is does not have native Android) or how to make the "su" work and grant root permissions to my applications.
Thanks in advance

same issue
I have the same problem, I already have SuperUser on the ROM i flashed on the device, but it seems it's not rooted.
I checked for one click solutions to root it, like Z4Root, Universal Androot and SuperOneClick, but I couldn't find any confirmation that these work for a non-native Android device like the HD2 and I really don't want to brick my phone.
Help, please?

Open up super user and let the su binary get updated, or you can d/l z4 root.

I actually used z4root and worked perfectly

So have i rooted my DHD??

Hi, how do i know if i successfully rooted my desire hd?? I installed visionary r14 and hit temp root, then i did perm root.... The phone rebooted and the superuser icon was installed. So what happens next???
I recently got my desire hd on Vodafone and was disappointed to find some hideous Vodafone bloatware installed (vodafone 360) I rightly or wrongly assumed that if i rooted my phone i would be able to remove the vodafone junk? However when i go into the applications manager the uninstall icon is still greyed out even though i have perm rooted (i think)
So, am i rooted? is there something else i needed to do first before i can remove these apps that i want rid of?
If it helps, my vodafone branded phone is installed with android version: 2.2 - software number: 1.39.161.1
hope some can help me
cheers
Steve

Well, you could run the S-OFF tools, install rom manager and recovery, and install a custom rom.
Would get you up to 2.2.1 and a clean, fast phone

Download Terminal emulator from the market en typ in SU, if it says Terminal emulator got SuperUser rights you're rooted
Also, you could take a look on the android development thread, you can learn quite a bit over there

yep sounds like your rooted, but at the moment with S-ON you are unable to make permanent changes to /system, thus you can't remove system apps to do this you need to S-OFF instructions here

I used root checker - from the market. Works a treat and its free

Thanks for the replies....
So, i just ran the One click Radio S-OFF tool So, should i now be in a position to remove system apps?? i ask as although i successfully rooted, and ran the radio s-off tool the apps i would like to remove still have the 'uninstall' button greyed out......
I have read plenty of threads in the development forum but the more i've read the more confused i have become!!
At some point i would like to put a different rom on here, but hey, i'll just take it one step at a time for now, so for now, i just want rid of the vodafone and stock apps etc.
Thanks for the help so far.....
Steve

If you type:
su
into terminal emulator and press enter, your phone is rooted if a
#
comes onto the screen

You cannot remove system apps from the "manage applications" menu.
The simplest way, now that you have root and s-off is to use an app called Titanium Backup from the market. It uses root privileges to allow you to remove any app.
You can also use Root Explorer to navigate to /system/app and delete the relevant .apk files manually. Use with caution.
The third way is to download the android sdk platform tools and use adb via a command line on your pc.
adb remount (gives write access to phone)
adb shell ls /system/app (lists contents of system app directory)
adb shell rm /system/app/junk.apk (removes junk.apk or the relevant file)

Great, i used Titanium Backup and now i'm free of the junk! Many thanks.
Sooooo..... Should i decide to flash a rom, such as leedroid, what is my next step??
Steps performed so far:
1. Perm Rooted using Visionary R14
2. S-Off using One click Radio S-OFF tool
3. I have removed some system apps using Titanium Backup.
Is my next step to download Rom Manager, do a Clockwork mod backup and then flash leedroid??
Or,
Do i need to also do ENG S-Off first? using One Click ENG S-OFF?
And do i have to flash a different radio before putting one of these custom roms on there?
As a reminder, this is the software running on mine at the moment....
vodafone branded phone is installed with;
Android Version: 2.2
Baseband Version: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
Build Number: 1.39.161.1 CL278886 release-keys
Software Number: 1.39.161.1
Browser Version: Webkit 3.1

After i got to where you are i done the ENG s-off the rom manager flashed clockwork. I then backed up current state then i flashed leedroid

Thanks for the reply, I will give it a go later when I've got 5 mins spare.

Just thought of a question i maybe should of asked sooner.....
Should i have done the 'Gold Card' thing before i rooted, and did S-Off??
Or is it ok to do it now? (i've still not added any new roms yet) Or do i even need to do it at all?

since i've already root, what i hope for is I should had never need to use gold card!

[Q] root htc hd2 android HELP PLEASE

hi everybodye sorry for the question but im new on this, well i have a htc hd2 from tmobile, i install android nand, following directions of a forum from here, everything is working good, i install setcpu from market and it do not let me configure it,so i install root check and it said is NOT rooted, my question is how can i root my phone,, please help.. thanx a lot and sorry if my question is stupid for some of you guys

As long as you have hspl you should be rooted. I would check to make sure you have setcpu superuser permission
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App

thanx so much for you answer and not make fun of me, well yes i installed hspl3, and when it done it said we hack it, but root checker still say, sorry you dont have root access can you please tell me how to check superuser permission, thanx so much,,

Look in your app tray and see if you have a Superuser icon. If you do then ckick in it and then find where it says allow superuser access. Most Andriod ROMs for tbe HD2 are already rooted when you install them. If you do not have a Superuser icon then Google "z4root" it is a one click root app that works. You will have to dowmload it unzip/extract the apk and copy it to your SD card and then use a file manager to navigate to the apk file and open it this will install the app to your phone. This is also what is known as "sideloading" in Andriod. Open the app and click on Root now button and it will root your phone.

Using a cpu overclock app has a downside as well as the upside of a faster response when in use.
The downside is that when downclocked and idle, the phone can take a couple of seconds to clock up to the operating speeds required - on some roms its more noticable than others. but a good solid ROM does not need this boost and there a few on here

please help
