im not sure what your asking,i can not connect to winscp because my phone needs an ssh dameon installed. with my iphone i would install this app called toggle ssh, that app would install stuff like open ssl/ssh,automated ssh,and etc.....allowing me to connect my phone to winscp via wifi.......wich in return would allow me to view my phone views on my computer and i could drag and drop stuff from my phone to my pc and vice versa

sorry i dont understand, when i mount my phone and browse the files,i dont see the same files i see with root explorer. what am i missing.

When you use Root Explorer, you are looking at your ENTIRE phone, not just the SD card. When you mount your phone, you are only seeing the contents of the sd card (Which in Root Explorer, can be found in "/sdcard".

If you want more info on how to push/pull files from your phone, you should check out my thread on changing your status bar color. It will give you an idea of what you are in for.

Although just as an aside a copy of sense 2.1 is already out...

Someone tried to install htc keyboard after the OTA and got it to install properly, but it wouldn't run, saying it was a non-HTC device. This was on a non-rooted phone btw..

No reason right now for me to root my phone. But get me the Sense Keyboard and I'll have it rooted in seconds!

i would like to try this,can you show a screen shot
 
I tried this but couldnt copy the font I wanted to the system/fonts folder using root explorer, although I was able to rename it to old.ttf. However now my droid is in an endless reboot cycle and can't seem to get out of it...any ideas?
 
On windows cmd...
Cd c:\android-sdk\tools
Adb push fontfile /local/data
Ok from terminal as I did it...
Su
Cd /local/data
Cat fontfile > /system/fonts
Mount -o,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Cd fonts
Mv Clockopia.ttf Clockopia.bat
Mv fontfile Clockopia.ttf
Mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Sync
Reboot

Fontfile is the font file u want save it into your android tool folder on ur pc. I mount cause I couldn't get read write access without.. it might be wrong way to do it but it worked for me. Lemme know a better way lol.

Haha ya after I posted I was like oops... oh well. I hear worse from customers and she has clothes on. Lol. Gotta include NSFW tag maybe hah. Ok guys were lookin at the clock numbers here! Focus! ;)
 
Clock? What about it? The only thing I noticed was the picture of the girl!

I kid, I kid...That is pretty cool changing the clock font like that. I'm going to wait to root until I see a healthy amount of things I would like to do first. Your's is the first one so far...heh
 
has anyone tried to flash the recovery image that SirPsychoS has created over at alldroid forum. sorry for crossing forums. not sure if thats against the rules
 
Sweet! Thanks for that, I was afraid to g0 anywhere near Rooting my android. Ive hacked computers, gaming systems, blackberry, windows mobile with no remorse but seeing the "Brick warnings" scared the crap out of me and yet it was as easy as updating the software! Thanks to everyone that contributed.

Could be. I've used a lot of different distributions over the years - Knoppix, Suse, Debian, Ubuntu, and Puppy and dir has worked on all of them. Of course, I'm strictly amateur and don't have any friends who even know what linux is, everything I know has come through a lot of trial, error, and google. Typing ls instead of dir is going to be a rough habit to break... but it's one less character to type. :p

You must be overtired and confused. Dir has never worked on Ubuntu (Debian deritvative), Fedora, OpenSuSE, or Knoppix. Dir is strictly DOS, ls is strictly linux.

I'm sorry but you are incorrect. I tested this on my Ubuntu 9.10 install and dir works. I seem to remember it working on my old Mandrake installs too.

Remember that the beauty of open source is that if you dont like something you can change it. There is nothing that is 'strictly' dos or Linux.

Hm, I just tried it on my old server, running ubuntu 5, and it doesn't work on there, but in my VM dir does work on the newer version, very interesting.

I'm a developer mate, trust me when I say I know the beauty of open source.
