Root Epic Unleashed 2.0! Byebye Blur!

Redflea are you able to just install the motoblur email and it works?

That's the only thing keeping me from trying this ROM. I hate the stock 2.2 email. It sends me notifications every 30mins for the same damn emails over and over and then for fun it decides to bring 2 week old emails back to my inbox as new.

The motoblur email doesn't do this to me at all.
 
Awesome, love it. I was having an issue with the lock screen music player not showing correct characters with 1.1, but now its gone. did you remove it intentionally.

Been unable load it...just too busy today, out and about, etc.

Hopefully later tonight or tomorrow...
 
In email. I use select all when I have like 30 new emails that are all Facebook or notifications from here.

But, I guess it doesn't really matter seeing as I delete them only for them to show up again 5 minutes later.

Yes the stock email is really annoying and it also won't open any emails with attachments, i can't even view the text in them.

Matt:

A suggestion: I think you're going to find more people who use Exchange mail are going to want the D2 motoblur email app, not the stock 2.2 email app...the one on the D2 is better. Maybe next release keep the D2 email app rather than putting in the 2.2 one...

Anyone tried this method to get swype to work?

"Instructions:
Download the Droid 2 system dump here Droid2SystemDump.zip
Under /Apps find Swype.apk and copy it to your sd-card

Open terminal emulator

su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
rm /system/app/Swype.apk
reboot

After reboot verify its gone.
Reopen Terminal Emulator

su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/Swype.apk /system/app
exit
exit

Open a text box and verify."

I can't try it since my Terminal Emulator won't open, does everyone have that issue?

This works.

However one thing you need to realize. Linux is case sensitive. The version of swype that is loaded on this ROM is "swype.apk" not "Swype.apk" so when you remove it you need to do:

rm /system/app/swype.apk

Then the rest of the instructions are the same.

Hope this helps everyone.

Oh ok, i just copy and pasted it from another post. Does anyone know hot to do this without using the terminal emulator, maybe using the computer like when we rooted it?
 
Connect droid to computer
cd/android/tools (assuming you installed SDK to /Android
adb shell


Then all commands as entered above. Basically, adb shell before su...
 
Cool i thought you could do it that way just wasn't sure, i'm still learning. Thanks, i'll give it a try after class.

EDIT: and i also imagine i could install the bluremail with this same method, right?
 
Should work, results may be unpredictable...I'd do a nandroid backup before trying to install apps that Matt removed.
 
I GOT SWYPE TO WORK!! :D BTW the method posted above wouldn't work for me.

All you need to do is download the D2 system dump from here Droid2SystemDump.zip
Find the Swype.apk file in apps, move it to the root of your sd card.
Go to your file manager app, find the swype.apk file, click on it and install it, easy as that!! I actually removed swype first so i don't know if that will effect your results.

Oh and btw that swype file in your phone is Swype.apk not swype.apk
When i typed in swype.apk it said the file didn't exist.

How did you remove swype? Normal uninstall, deleted using Root Explorer, etc?

No, it got removed when i did the first half of those instructions i posted before.
"Open terminal emulator

su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
rm /system/app/Swype.apk
reboot

After reboot verify its gone."

Oh and i got the terminal emulator to work, i jus reinstalled it from the market but now i have 2 app icons? One works and one doesn't, how do i delete the bad one?
 
when i loaded this it erased all but three of my contacts.. i do something wrong?

also, tried getting setcpu from the market and it won't download it. it says purchased but the only option it gives me is cancel download. i have canceled it and restarted in a couple times also rebooted.
