thank you for considering using my application. if you would like to post in my thread, that way you will get the most help from those that are following it, or have already done it, that would be most beneficial for you.
however,
if you want me to walk you threw it, you can hop on the irc channel irc.zifnab06.net channel: #erisroothelp and i am almost always there.
or,
just extract the ema_full folder to wherever you want, my app is dynamic and doest care where you put it. then grab the update file that is up there as well, and replace the old application file with the new one. make sure you have .net 4 installed. i have a download for that as well in my thread. grab the drivers download from my thread and extract those to your desktop. then follow the instructions in my thread for installing those drivers for your phone on your pc. after all that is done, then just start up the app. run backup apps, then follow the root steps 1 - 3, and make sure you read and follow all directions.

I have spent the better part of 3 days on these forums. Tried Super1Click to no avail then followed instructions as in the Noob Guide and everything looked good.
The phone found the update.zip file, did the whole reinstalling pkgs thing and rebooted.
But I can't find the superuser icon and when I downloaded Titanium backup it said I was not rooted.
I have the 959 UVj16 with Eclair 2.1
I would greatly appreciate some assistance. I honestly spent untold hours trying to find the answer before I asked.
Why go through all that. Just use z4root found here:

Download from your phone.installs like a normal apk app and open and click root. Installs root and then all done.simple!

That link says not valid on phone but I can download to PC, where do I put it so that it will install?
1. should I remove uninstall.zip first from previous try
2. do I need to do anything with this file, ie. move from downloads to somewhere else?
nevermind, downloading from softpedia.
One click simple! Worked perfectly, thanks a million!!
did you rename the update.zip file? If you did, you shouldn't have.
You just had to place the file on your sd card.
yeah, OP PM me what didnt work on the noob guide.... please explain everything you did. There is no reason that file I uploaded should not work just fine. I need to make certain for others though (nobody else has said anything to me with an issue).
Does anyone know if someone has created a deodex .zip file to flash via customer recovery?
For those that don't know, many of the apk files installed by an official rom will have a .odex file associated with them which slows down your phone considerably. These odex files interact with delvik cache and java VM and from what I understand wreak havoc on data access times and are largely uneccessary. Other dev platforms such as the droid x and evo have a .zip file that you can simply flash via recovery that will "deodex" your apps in system\apps folder. Basicially this zip will take your odex file and associated apk file and take the important information out of the odex and input it into the apk making just one streamlined faster file.... with all of your odex files gone, your phone will spend less time executing programs both for end user and core google apps and your phone will be way faster. Any idea if someone has developed this yet for the streak? Thanks
For others who, like me, didn't understand the question - read this.
But what I gathered from that wasn't that de-odexing speeds anything up, more that it makes it easier to make modifications.
Why are you posting this in more than one forum? This is the same as what you posted in the dev forum, right?

Marvin my man.... deodexing more than doubles data access speeds for core google apps and makes the phone more snappy. Seen this performed on a droid x and an HTC evo... works wonders.
I just want to know if someone has developed a simple flashable .zip file that will deodex my system/app apk files so I can speed things up and modify my self. I don't care that dj steve's rom already has this done... I don't care for steves latest roms as they are very buggy on 3g, wifi, gps, notification bar hangs, drops data when wifi toggle is enacted, gmail won't sync... I got tired of messing with he streaddroid roms (for now) and went to stock 318 with just smokku's dj steve kernal mod which allows me to OC to 1.19ghz. I get 2000 quad out of that and I am happy, plus I get the added bonus of having a 99.9% stable rom. Can't wait to see what steve comes out with next. i always try his roms out first.
Thanks
You could probably copy you're system/app folder and write a simple batch script to use baksmali to deodex *.odex, use 7-zip command line to put the .dex file in the apk (I assume that is what has to happen), and then push that folder back to your phone with an adb push. I dont really want to try this because I'm on 319 and cant make a nandroid backup but since you can on 318 it never hurts to try.
OK, i really did look n im just more confused so feel free to tell me how too inexperienced i am to be trying "all things root" as long as u follow that w/ the answer.
So i want to install "setCPU" zip file from this site cuz i dont currantly have a bank account (long story-cash,fine-debit/credit,no) so i assumed i could treat it just like an upgrade (thru CWM) but apparently not so... i checked but posts all seemed to be 4 non-root? Or for GAPPS? SDK? apk files-android package...?(is that the same as zip...or similar? ...GAPPS?...google apps maybe? im so lost i'd have to do a weeks worth of researsh b4 i get results...
Orrr, i could ask u guys n get results n knowledge simultaneously...this suits me better as ive allways learned by asking exhaustive questions coupled w/ research, So... how can i achieve this?
Oh i did see 1 post where it said to un-zip n place on sd n open w a file mgr. but i had already tried this. i tried to open w/ appInstaller, but it couldn't be found. Why cant i treat as upgrade? is there any particular place on sd card to put it? Is the "read me" me file necessary? should i place both files in folder?
[also do i really need to subscribe to my ow threads to be saved? why arent my posts auto-saved as in other sites or are they?where? ....u guys must hate me]
You are over-complicating things. You just have to first unzip the file to access the APK, then install it as you would any other application. No updating/flashing/whatever required. I used Astro file explorer to unzip it and then again to install it after downloading it to my TBolt. I'm sure other file explorers have the same capabilities.
You do know SetCPU is free for xda members right?

CRAAAAP! im sorry all i had to do was read!!!! in my defence other "read me" files have seemed to say absolutely nothing. please dont ban me yet... i'll get btr
yeah thanks really i tried all of that but this is how dumb i am: 1st all i had to do was open and read 2nd when i figured out wat to do the hard way cuz i wouldnt read, i had my phone plugged in to PC so app intaller couldnt read it duh.. thnks 4 responding tho
k so i installed then uninstalled so i could try something new. Does anyone know how to do this maually as im trying to be more knowledgeable n resourceful. i got to the part where i have to "navigate to the directory where the setcpu.apk is found" and type in command line to install... and im lost.
how do i navigate anywhere? all i can do is type. after i type "adb devices" a bunch of script pops up w/ my device info but no "setcpu.apk." above.
I read the 1st post but your kinda getting me lost. I have a couple questions.
1. What are you trying to do?
2. Why is there a zip?
3. Are you trying to install setcpu?
If you're trying to install setcpu click on the link I gave you a couple post up. The link will direct you to a post where SetCPU is free and in an apk format. Download the apk onto your phone and install it using whatever file explorer you want to use. Open the file explorer and find the SetCPU apk and install it. FYI If you are not rooted SetCPU will not work. You must hit menu, setting, applications, and allow (check) unknown sources.
no i figured it out. it was a zip file w/ apk n directions i didnt bother to read cuz i thought it was just credits or watever. i was do'n everything right but my file manager wasnt reading anything at the time (i was so frustated that i prob. had phone plugged in to PC n just didnt realize) cuz it worked later...
NOW i want to do it the hard way... i KNOW- stupid but i gotta start somewhere. i cant find the directory where setcpu is located in ADB but i'll figure it out. Suggestions welcome but its certainly not pressing im just OCD thanks 4 all the help
anyway your way wouldve been much easier. i guess i missed the link earlier
You've gotta put the apk in the platform-tools folder. Mine would be C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools. To navigate adb to that folder I type cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools in command prompt. Hey you know there's a "ADB for dummies" thread, right? LOL I used it when I first learned. Here's another adb tutorial

Ok.to install "setCPU" I did Wut was suggested above. After I type the 1st command it repeats the "sdk" directory (i think its called) bak to me n on that line I typed:
"adb install setcpu.apk"
Then it says:
"can't find 'setcpu.apk' to install.
I have the .apk (unzipped) file in the "platform-tools" folder. Wut am I do n wrong?

I keep reading in threads to check md5sums before doing anything. Would someone care to explain why and how to go about doing so? Is this to be done prior to installing a ROM?
Just trying to get a better understanding of things.
Figured it out before someone gave me the old spoon fed line.
Anyway for those of you that might be a bit confused like myself here is a link to a md5 checker.
http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/File-Management/MD5-Checker.shtml
Run exe. after unzipping.
search for file you want checked
Good to go
Guess i've been fairly lucky up till now considering i have never performed this step prior to installing anything.
you can also go to the market and download an app called ManD5....it is also a md5sum checker...

I thought the idea was to check the file prior to putting it on your phone?

The idea is to check it prior to actually installing it on the phone, not just before it is copied to the storage card. Theoretically, it could get corrupted at any point it is copied/moved/etc, so the ideal time to check is just prior to the step where you flash/install/reboot/whatever.
I actually just use Astro file explorer on my phone. You can look at the details of a file, and it will compute the md5 for it.

Thanks for all this info peeps. Many people, including myself, are afraid to ask a stupid question at times.

You can also do it in a command line (Terminal) just type
Code:
md5sum <path-to-file>/<file-name>

I find it's easier to check on my PC after I D/l so I use TeraCopy when copying files. Copies then goes back and checks them.
If you're a masochist and want AIR on your OV, do this:
Download the SDK (google it, it's freely available from Adobe), go looking in the runtimes directory. There should be an android directory, and in there you'll see device and emulator. Install the emulator APK, and AIR apps should be installable via the market.
Of course being Adobe bloatware, it's really, really slow. And, yeah, AIR apps look like **** warmed over, don't integrate at all with the stock Android UI, etc.
Looks like it requires Gingerbread.
This made my day, my week even, probably my entire month. I develop flash apps, and export them to run with AIR, but haven't been able to use them on my Optimus V. But thanks to this I now can.
Thanks soooooo much.

1/ It will NOT help with your browsing.
2/ No, I am NOT using it. I am having hard time uninstalling this junk on PCs where it keeps creeping back with other Adobe stuff.
3/ YES, the method in the OP works.
3/ YES, your spelling definitely sucks big time.
many thanks to doktornotor for this method.
I'm a total noob so it took a little googling for me to figure out your instructions. Figured I'd post my steps here in case anyone is as noobish (nooby?) as me.
First, go to the android marketplace and install "appinstaller" (it's free) if you don't already have it.
Then go to abode.com and type "air sdk" into the search bar. You should see a link that says "download adobe air sdk".
Choose your version (I'm on windows). And wait for the download.
Once the .zip file has downloaded to your system, open it and browse to the "runtimes" folder. Open it and then open the "air" folder inside it. Then open the "android" folder, followed by the "emulator" folder.
So it's SDK.zip->runtimes->air->android->Runtime.apk
Put the Runtime.apk file on your desktop.
Plug your phone into your computer and put the Runtime.apk file on your sd (I put in the download folder).
Then disconnect your phone and run the AppInstaller app. Find the Runtime.apk file you just downloaded and hit install.
Wait 30 seconds.
If all goes well, congratulations, you now have adobe air!
Thank again. You're a real life saver!
Trying to do this on my Optimus S, should be similar enough to work shouldn't it?
I don't have gingerbread installed currently, however my tablet running froyo installed the latest Adobe Air from the market, so is GB really a requirement here?
My Optimus is still on Froyo for now, could that be why this isn't installing?
pls upload Runtime.apk
You may now upload that Runtime.apk to megaupload or filehippo and update a link?
It will be a lot of help if done so.
Or you can PM (Private Message) me the file and i will upload it.
thanks a lot in advance.
edit :
You can upload in this thread itself you can edit the post and down below and see Attach Files... much more easier ;-)
