Root GUIDE: From stock 1.5 to the latest root 2.1

[GrdLock]

Well, I didn't reflash my phone. I manufactured an update for my phone to update all necessary stuff.

The main thing about the new rom is the google login bug is fixed. It has a newer kernel, and some other minor stuff.

Thank you Grd for your batch files and instructions.
Worked flawlessly for going to 2.1 ota root from 1.5

I installed the launcher2/live wallpapers extras..
How do I remove them after I realized I love sense too much...

 

[GrdLock]

Settings > Applications > Manage Applications

Find them in there, select them, click Uninstall

so any and all live wallpapers disable sensi ui? any suggestions on live wall papers i should download from the market? that is where we have to get them correct? also...getting ready to flash the new rom..(have not yet flashed one..have just rooted and recovery) any pointers going into this?

 

[TheDroidDoes]

how do i create a nand backup? or do i not need it or can anyone explain what it is for me?

 

[GrdLock]

I like the Bezier wallpaper in the Market.

As for the backup, reboot your phone into recovery mode (turn it off, hold VolUp and power on). Go to backup/restore, and select Nand backup. It'll make a full backup of your entire phone incase you ever screw something up or flash a new rom and want to go back, you can restore it.

also will i be able to get the launcher and the live wall papers back if i do decide that i to like the senseUI also?

 

[TheDroidDoes]

ok so deffinetly create the nand backup before i even think about flashing this rom correct?

 

[GrdLock]

If you use SenseUI you can't use live wallpapers, and you definitely can't use Launcher2, since Launcher2 is a home replacement.

And yes, it's always a good idea to create a backup before flashing anything new.

 

[TheDroidDoes]

ok do i create a backup each time i flash?

Settings > Applications > Manage Applications

No option to uninstall unfortunately

You may have to remove them manually then via the shell.

 

[TheDroidDoes]

what do you mean manually and then via the shell?

 

[GrdLock]

You have to use the command prompt and type in commands.

To be honest, if you don't know what that means then you're probably better off just leaving them installed, as you can mess stuff up in the shell.

Either that or join the IRC chatroom (see the sticky thread from acidbath at the top of the forum for how to do that) and have someone in there guide you through the process of removing them manually.

 

[TheDroidDoes]

i know the adb shell but im not to worried about it as of right now...have successfully created a nand back-up here we go with the rom

 

[TheDroidDoes]

if i ever did want to get rid of the rom i flashed how do i go back?... (installing rom now )

 

[GrdLock]

Restore your nand backup.

 

[TheDroidDoes]

ok so now that i have installed the rom can i go straight to the market and get the live papers or how do i activate the launcher?

 

[GrdLock]

You have to install the nexus launcher and the live wallpaper picker apps.

Live Wallpaper & Nexus Launcher Patch 3-21-2010 - xda-developers

Download the file there, put it on your sdcard, reboot into the recovery partition, flash from zip, and select that file. It'll install both.

 

[TheDroidDoes]

ive already installed one so just do it again and delete the first one???eris21official-root.zip???

 

[GrdLock]

No no, once you install eris21official-root it'll wipe everything you've done. You'll need to re-do that patch afterwards.

 

[TheDroidDoes]

ok so install the launcher in recovery reboot.. then go back to recovery and reinstall the eris21official-root.zip?

 

[GrdLock]

No, you only need to install eris21official-root once. the launcherlwp or whatever file is just a patch. Don't wipe anything like you would when flashing a full rom, just flash it.

 

[TheDroidDoes]
