[REQ] Need someone to check something for me on a STOCK Droid 2

Anyone out there willing to help me out?
I just someone to run this command with their phone hooked up, USB Debugging ENABLED:
adb shell ls -l -R /sys/class > class_structure_DROID_TWO.txt
This will output a text file in whichever directory you run the command from, that will list the hardware capabilities of the phone for me - this would help me IMMENSELY from a development standpoint!
Check out the text file - zero personal / private information will be in there!
Thanks!

See attached.

Double post.

Sure. I'm not a dev, but I've been using and modding Androids since last May.

Cool - I need 2 more files, though...
adb shell ls -l -R /sys/devices/platform > platform_structure_DROID_TWO.txt
and
adb shell ls -l -R /sys/devices/virtual > virtual_structure_DROID_TWO.txt

They are larger than XDA will allow.. PM your e-mail address?

Yeah. S-Off with SkyRaider 3.3.2.

This should help you all:

Thanks for the reference. The leaked build version seems to be working for this purpose.
To get this to work, you need to edit the /system/build.prop. find the line that begins with "ro.build.fingerprint" and change it to:
Code:
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/inc/inc/inc:2.2/FRF91/264707:user/release-keys
Once rebooted, the nag might appear once more, but if you go to Settings->About phone->System updates you wil now get "your system is currently up to date".

Sent from my Droid Incredible running SkyRaider 3.3.2 with King Kernel BFS #5.

Can somebody give me some simple instructions on how to replace the build.prop file with the changes I made? I grabbed the old one and made the changes (Just changing the numbers from 231334 in my case to 264707 correct?) but can't figure out how to replace the file now. I assume I need to use adb to do it, but I'm not experienced enough with using this method to feel confident and I'd rather not mess up my phone. Is it as simple as:
adb remount
adb push c:\build.prop /system/build.prop
adb shell reboot
Thanks for the help in advance...

What should I do if I do want to install the OTA, just for the sake of being up-to-date stock? I'm on stock 2.2, rooted with S-OFF and and ClockworkMod 2.5.0.5, and I'm not sure where to go from here.

To allow an OTA load.... just Follow the instructions...

I used subs (another root file manager) to edit the file. Click menu > mount system r/w. Then long press build.prop select chmod change to 666.
Edit file, save then change chmod back to 644
This might work in root explorer (change permissions) first.

[REQ] Config file and kernel testers

I don't have enough money to import a GS2 so I'm stuck making kernels without the phone. Could someone please extract the config file from their phone? Also, if you are interested in testing my kernel, please add me on Gtalk at [email protected]

you r from LA, & u rtelling us that u dont have money ??? you want us to believe that ???
come on buddy....

I'm from L.A.? Even if I was I'd have even less thanks to Cali's taxes

I'd like to see the config file too just so I can go browse thru the kernel source code myself.

Its nice to see the support for developers for this device. Takes 30 seconds to pull a config and the only response is someone with a sarcastic post based on a stereotype of Americans.
Sent from my HTC Vision

I hear you. I was sincere though in my interest. I really wanna see the config file.

If the lack of a config is from a lack of knowledge you pull the config file by typing this into terminal:
Su
Cp /proc/config.gz /sdcard/config.gz
Then upload the file here

I can't find config.gz in /proc

Samsung don't include the config on the device, but...
Attached is a copy of my .config from building the KDD kernel from Samsung's sources. AFAIK that is identical to what Samsung used to build the stock kernel on device.

kind of a noob question, but how exactly would one know which of each file of the source code to include to compile your own ROM/kernel? guess my question really is, looking thru kernel source, how can i know if any random file is or is not part of the kernel? example looking thru battery drivers, i can see the max17042 and fuelgauge_sec is used, while other batt drivers are not used but still present. how does one able to figure this out for each folder etc?

Root commands need to be executed the command line way.
You can get the content of a file using
Code:
cat <filepath>
For executing these commands I recommend using the RootTools library.
First of all get basic Linux command line knowledge.

No, it does not mean that.
If you want to do anything which needs SU permission, you need to do it without the Android API. You run a command on the built-in command line on your phone from your app. Now in Java you are able to read the output of the command and parse it to get the required information.
There is no other way of doing it because Android was not designed to be rooted.
