Root Get sholes 2.0.6 now!

just flashed 2.0.6 and my back lights don't work either. sm/dm removed the 2.0 app launcher the update before this, said our was buggy. I never had a problem, but I also use home + for the power strop
 
You guys with problems.. did you do a DATA/CACHE wipe before going to 2.0.6? I'm wondering if that why all is well for me. Actually, I started from scratch(restored to bone stock 2.0.1 first).

Of course the wipe isn't absolutely necessary and makes things a pain to get back where you had them, but it leaves much less room for problems..
 
the nexus launcher is overrated, and leaves droids with more functionality without it. the nexus has no keyboard, so the nexus launcher isnt designed to landscape. it is buggy and overall less functional. it only has a wow factor to it. the droid tray is much faster, smoother, practical, and simpler. go install sholes 2.0.3 and mess with it. its not all that.
 
I forgot how to install these zip files. I tryed my astro but it doesnt give me a install option. Tryin to put the new DMUpdater on my phone, and when I get it running can I delete the old sholes app?

You place the update.zip file on the root of your sdcard (the folder that pops up when you mount your phone on your PC). Then you boot into recovery mode by holding down X on the keyboard while turning on your phone. Then the SPrecovery screen will pop up and you scroll to and select "install". Select "allow install of update.zip" then select install "update.zip (deprecated)." After it is done, use the power button to go back til you see reboot, then reboot.
 
I you are running live wallpapers, go back to the AllDroid thread and download/install the new v1.1a. That will fix the SU permission with DMupdater.
 
If you already have the Sholes updater app. Will it still give me the newest 2.0.6 rom? Or do I really need to down load the new dmupdater?

best to just uninstall smupdater and then go to link on their homepage with your phones browser. you have to have Unknown sources check box checked, under applications before you go to link to install. Just until it is put in the app market
 
To start, yes I am one of those people who used sholes to root and install rom's without any knowledge of how to do it. I am now convinced to learn. I just started with rootyourdroid.info. Going to study and take lots of notes. In the mean time, I installed live wallpapers and decided that I don't want them anymore because I use home++ where they don't work. I went to "the other site" where they give the code to remove the live wallpapers. Unfortunately, I have no idea how or where to use this code to do this. Could someone help me with this. Here is the code on that site.



Code:
To uninstall Live Wallpapers

adb shell
su
pm uninstall com.android.wallpaper.livepicker
pm uninstall com.android.magicsmoke
pm uninstall com.android.wallpaper
pm uninstall com.android.musicvis
sync
reboot

These are commands you type into the adb terminal while the phone is plugged in to the computer. You need to have the android sdk and open a command prompt pointed at the 'tools' directory. Once you're in that directory, enter the commands one line at a time, hitting enter after each.

More info on setting this up is here: Android Debug Bridge | Root Your Droid
 
Thanks for your help. I was just reading that info page as you replied. Downloading SDK right now and going to give this a try. I will use that info page as I work on it.

Thanks again for your help

No it will not work with SMUpdater... delete that, then go to the website to download and install DMUpdater and you will be able to get the newest ROM.
 
WOW I suck! I can't even run the program. I might end up in divorce court, but I am determined to figure this out. I downloaded the SDK, but I cant get anything to run. I have the tools folder, but can't get anything to work on it. I just want to get to the adb terminal and type in those codes.
 
Are you running windows tjreishus? If so, start by opening the 'command' prompt. (Go to 'run' in the start menu and type cmd). This should open a window that says C:/users/[yourusername]. Then, find your tools folder in the sdkand copy the address in windows explorer.

In the command prompt type: cd [right click to insert pasted address]
and now the terminal should be pointed at the adb tools folder. to verify, type 'adb' and you should get a huge list of commands.

After this, the 'adb shell' commands can be entered.

good luck!
 
ok, I thought for sure I had it this time. I made it to the command prompts. Is the phone supposed to be mounted or not. I tried it both ways and received a failure on each command that I put in. I verified I was in the correct folder by typing adb and a lot came up.

You have to enable usb debugging on your phone. Settings > Applications > Development > Enable usb debugging.
