I perm rooted my phone about 2 hours ago and started hacking through bloatware using root explorer. I have a lot of downloaded apps from the market which has caused a small performance drop out of the box and this phone has probably doubled in how quick it is after removing bloatware. The process to perm root is easy and can be done using connectbot or another terminal emulator on your phone if you are not comfortable or have no experience with adb shell. I have never used adb shell and using connectbot triple checking my typing it took me 10-15 mins. One downside for now is no huge quadrant scores to show off, mine is still high 1500s to low 1600s

should be noted quadrant scores will go way up once the processor gets overclocked....rooting and removing bloat alone wont really raise quadrant scores but will still save battery, free up internal memory and just less stuff to open in the background...also once we can overclock this processor can hit 1.8-1.9ghz since its just like the G2 processor...then quadrant scores should double maybe even triple!

Jo I unfortunately don't know how to use adb, I wanted to post this for those people that are uncomfortable or don't know how to use adb. I wanted to assure them that using connectbot is very easy as long as they follow the instructions on the guide.

Hey guys I gave some instructions in the perm root thread over in the development section. I hope these help you.
Make sure you install HTC Sync for the USB drivers first. If you have previously installed it you should be good to go.
SDK and adb
I've also put a seperate thread up with a guide that should get you started

Worked for me. Just start at Step 3. I made sure and copied and pasted the commands to ensure accuracy and then sight checked to make sure it was exactly right.

How come all of apps to take a screenshot of your phone are for rooted phones only? Are there any that you don't have to be rooted?
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
There is a tool in the android sdk called ddms you can use which does not require root.
I was able to use a app simply called screenshots by geeksoft it's pretty good in it was able to be used without rooting the phone
^does the "shake" option work for you?

i tried today to root my droid 2 with z4root app and its stoke on running exploit in order to obtain root access. its the first time im trying to root my phone and im new with android.
thank you
I'm not familar with ZRoot but see if putting your phone in debugging helps maybe.
I had the same issue. Reboot you phone and then make that the first thing you run when it comes back up. It should speed through it. It's not the perfect solution, but it works.

I'm not really familiar with this either, but I've read some of the comments in the market, try doing it several times, it seems to work after a couple tries or so. If it just seems to not be working, try using DoRoot, it's pretty simple and easy to do. You can find it in the Droid 2 Development.
My GF & I both have Droid 2 phones & I used z4root on both. Worked flawlessly on each. I put the phone in debug & then ran z4root. Totally new at this myself so not sure what else will help.

Ok I love my epic but ever since I updated to 2.2 the orientation had been extremely slow my phone is stock and I've tried a factory and reformatting my sd. I took it to sprint and they told me it was the software, but when I looked at the demos in the store there was no orientation delay. Any suggestions?

look thru the forums for the 'lagfix', its the adb command yamahasensorcalibutil or something like that.. its just calibrating your sensors... works great on a good install of most eb13 or ec05 install...
Use terminal emulator, if you don't have it yet get it from the market. Open it and type /system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha place the phone on a flat surface, and hit Enter. Reboot the phone and sensors will function at normal speed.
You ca use adb also. Good luck

For the short periods of time I have been on total stock builds, when I first loaded EC05, it had the least lag out of any.... try to reflash? Consider taking the plunge to root? We have the neglected bastard child of sprintsung... what they dont do or dont do right we have to do ourselves...
Callibrate it using the option in display settings while putting it flat on the underside of a table.
Trust me, it works.

You can either root it and fix it, or take it to Sprint, have them ODIN it which won't fix it and have them order a replacement which takes 3 days.

That doesn't fix the sensor lag, in fact for many people that has made it worse.
Feel free to read the original sensor lag fix thread if you don't believe me.

I used this same method and posted a revised services.jar in my RoyalGinger thread a few days ago. I believe I only heard back from one maybe two guys but it did not appear to work.
And if you read that thread you linked, most of the people who actually tried it did not ultimately have success in the end with this either.
However, I will post mine in the off chance that it might work for someone.
It seems from reading the other G2 thread that this needed to be applied BEFORE you actually got throttled for the month. (but again, it appears this may not work at all anymore...)
**THIS WILL LIKELY ONLY WORK WITH ROYALGINGER AND LATER CM7 BUILDS** because it's based on this framework.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- download the zip from this post, extract the modded services.jar & put it on your computer (in the example commands below, it assumes its in your root C:\ folder but if it's elsewhere just add on the appropriate path after the C:\ )
- reboot into recovery & connect your phone to PC via USB
- open a command prompt, terminal, etc. on your PC/mac/toilet and type:
adb shell
mount /system
exit
adb push C:\services.jar /system/framework/
adb reboot
- all done
i've never tried this before and i'm not throttled so i can't test it ... this will probably make your settings > wireless & network > mobile networks menu force close .. but with the power widgets to switch network type the only thing you wouldn't be able to change are APNs .. either way, i included a virgin/unmodded services.jar that you can repush anytime you need to get back into that menu (make sure to rename it services.jar before pushing the unmodded one back to /system/framework/)
good luck!

I know that being throttled for a supposed "unlimited" service sux, but trying to hack your way around the limit is not something I would do or agree to either. This is more of an ethical issue.
On the technical side, I would be surprised that T-Mobile network is so easily fooled by anything on the phone side. They should be able to throttle based on your unique SIM ID rather than whatever settings or APN server from your phone.
Every time you turn on your phone, they know about your SIM and IMEI number from their server, from those 2 information, they know about your phone number, your personal information, your approximate location relative to their towers and which phone you are using.
It doesn't work.
@ckisgen, Yeah I noticed that most people were unable to use this but on the rare chance this does for work someone they'll be awfully happy lol. I got tethered once when I didn't have wifi at my house, needless to say it sucked. Thanks for posting your zip, instructions, and for all the work you do in the community.

Grab root explorer
Download the patch
Grab the edited services.jar not the unedited patch.
Get astro from the market or whatever file explored u like.
Go to your downloads folder in astro- highligh the services folder until a menu comes up hit edit then select move hit home on astro
U should see paste at the top in astro hit it itll put it in the root of sdcard
Grab root explored and the edited services.jar hold it hit edit in root explorer scroll down to to move then hit back once go to system folder in the main menu find framework in the system folder youll see the old services.jar dont touch it hit paste at the bottom in root explored itll asked to to overite it hit yes and it will then exit root explored reboot your phone and your free from the throttling enjoy yay!!
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
I don't see how this would work. Your data usage is not tracked phone side its tracked server side by T-mobile. Just because you don't get throttled after 5GB doesn't mean that it will work all the time.

not sure but i don't think so last time i checked all the screen capture apps required root.
There's an app called screen capture shortcut on the market that doesn't require root

Shootme used to work, but ever since they updated it a while back, it doesn't work anymore unless you have root. I can look for an old version, but I am not sure.
Step 1. Install the Android SDK
Step 2. Plug your phone into your computer and start up the ddms tool. (SDK/tools)
Step 3. Select your device from the list in the right pane of the ddms application, then select device -> screen capture from the menu bar.
Step 4. Whenever your phone is ready for the screenshot click save, and choose a place for ddms to save it on your pc..
I've heard dropcap says that it requires root but can really be used without it.
