1st: there is an archidroid q&a thread where you can post archidroid specific questions.
2nd: read Archidroid OP, there you will find your answer. alternatively either search in the main thread or in the q&a thread for "freedom" and you'll find at least 10 times your needed answer.
3rd: i am nice and repeat again the solution:
freedom needs to modify the hosts file but archidroid has a built-in adblock which locks the hosts file by default. so go to the archidroid app and unlock the hosts file. then it should work. but note that it is not recommended to use this method (read the thread to know why)

Voice Recorder

Can someone post the Voice Recorder from the stock ROM on our Vibrant? Also, I plan to use it on a 2.2 ROM (Onyx). Any compatibility issues with using the Voice Recorder on 2.2?
Thanks in advance.

I think you would be better served to post this in the dev section.

True, but it is still the appropriate section to post this request in. Some people just don't seem to realize it... and they're a bunch a doody heads.
But I guess since I'm such a nice guy I'll just give it to you even if you did post in the wrong section.

Don't know. Hang on a minute, I'll check.
Don't know why but de-odexer failed to de-odex it. I'm running a de-odexed rom so I can't test it now.
Thanks narco, but it didn't install. I took the apk out of the rar file you posted and tried to install that. No joy.
I really thought this was the right forum. I saw someone get yelled at in the Dev forum for posting app requests.
Don't know anything about de-odex so can't say why your file didn't work. I really like the ROM I'm using except for a few little ommissions like this. I wouldn't mind the file manager from the stock rom either if you have it. I hate these ad-supported ones in the market. I know I should support the developers and buy something, but these are things we got for free with our phones. I just want some of that free goodness.
Thanks again.

No worries. Coincidentally, I happened to de-odex that file since my last post. So here is the de-odexed version that I have running perfectly on Froyo. And since you need it I'll attach a de-odexed copy of the file manager as well.
Thanks man

narco, what am I doing wrong? I downloaded the rar files you posted and extracted the apk file. I moved the apk files to my internal SD card, then used a version of "Root Explorer" to launch the installer on these files. I get a message that says they weren't installed. No other helpful information as to why.
Is there some other method of getting these files to install?

Yes there is.
First you need to install the SDK.
Then plug your phone into your computer, enable USB debugging, open a command prompt on your computer, navigate to the folder where your apk resides and enter the following commands:
Code:
C:\Phone Hacking\Vibrant>adb root
restarting adbd as root
C:\Phone Hacking\Vibrant>adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/st19 /system
C:\Phone Hacking\Vibrant>adb push VoiceRecorder.apk /system/app/
C:\Phone Hacking\Vibrant>adb reboot
Okay, I think I got it. I installed the sdk and tried the whole adb thing, but it said I couldn't go into adb root on production builds, then it occurred to me that all you were trying to do was move the apk file into the /system/app folder which can only be accessed by root.
I already had Root Explorer, which I used to move the apk file and it worked. Thanks for posting the files and your help. I've been wondering what I could do with ADB. I messed around with the usb drivers for a while but ended up getting adb to work via the wirelessadb app that was included in the Onyx rom.
Learning something new everyday.
Thanks again.

The reason you got an error about adb not switching to root mode is that you are running a production kernel. You might consider changing to a custom kernel. You can run a rooted kernel along with your current rom.
I would suggest one of Eugene's custom kernels. I currently run A4 but there is a new A5 out that I will switch to later tonight.
If you can't figure out how to install it send me another message. I'll be glad to help.
Edit: Just updated to A5. Runs Great! Super fast awesomeness!

Try this,from Bionix final.Copy to root and use root explorer to copy to system/app.
This is my first week with rooting/flashing. My primary reason for going this route has been to get some froyo goodness and extend my battery life. I have been reading that the stock kernel is the best way to get the most battery life. What do the custom kernels get you? I've stayed away from the lag fixes as well for the same reason.
Thanks for being so helpful.

New to Android, questions on Rooting/Rom

I am another new android user and having confusion on Rooting and changing to custom rom.
1. Does rooting make my phone able to download pay apps for free? like jail breaked iphone?
2. I have used the superoneclick on my phone lastnight. But other than seeing the SuperUser app in my page I don't see anything else different. Have I successfully rooted my phone?
3. What does the SuperUser app do for me? I've got into it and I have no idea what to do with that app.
4. Can I describe custom rom as a custom MODed UI?
5. I've googled and read a lot on different ROM. but is there any site that you guys can suggest me which has all of the popular review on roms?
1. no, pirate
2. yes
3. nothing, just give apps access to system files.
4. no
5. Here. read the stickies and the specific rom threads they describe what is changed on each rom.
Thx nunyazz,
Is there any way to pirate those apps?
Do we allow to talk about pirating apps in this forum?

[Q] Leomar / Cannot Install some apps from market.

Hi everyone,
I am on Revolution Rom from Leomar. Everything is great but i have one problem.
Coming from CM7 or Stock, i have no issue installing Astro File Mgr Pro from the Market.
On Leomar Rom, the Market tell me it is not compatible with my device. Same things happen with anothers apps.
I cannot explain why it is compatible with CM7 or Stock and why it doesn't work on Leomar. May be it is a known issue and i didn't find it on the xda forum.
I cannot post in the Leomar Thread because this is my first post.
If Leomar see my thread, i just want to thanks him and his team for the great jobs !
I am not thighted to Astro bu i want to understand
Best regards !

It does not work. On the smartphone i cannot find the app because it is not compatible.
Does Leomar's ROM come with Astro File Manager already installed? If so, you may need to remove it before you can install the Pro version.

No it doesn't. I manage to install the astro app but not the pro key. The pro key seems to be not compatible with gsII on this rom.
I do not understand why. Do i have to check with leomar or astro dev ?
Finally Leomar told me that is CSC related, and he is hardly working on. I will read further info on his thread.

Follow the instructions here: (see url in the attachment) - I can confirm it works.
Andy's own website is not helpful when it comes to support / tweaks. I am not impressed that they chose FB groups as their choice for Support. Andy itself is brilliant! Love it.
PS: I have too few posts and cant paste a URL in the reply, hence the attachment. Someone with link posting privileges please can you post the link in a reply, it will be easier for other users / searchable etc. Thanks!

I've found "Rootkit v3.5" working fine.
Found it from here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlSc_sc25G0
Attached a bit modified version of it, without the extra APKs.
You can also use my app to remove all of the system apps you don't want.
Thanks
