[ROM] AC-ROM-Froyo 2.2

[ucbdeusch]

okay plan on using AC-ROM 2.6 but on 2.5 right now, wondering about the radio and PRI, my radio is 07.28 and PRI is 1.34, can i uprade to 09.01 and 1.77 without upgrading to 2.6? or can i afterwards at all?

These are independent of each other. You can install AC 2.6 right now and still use the same radios you currently have, or you can update your radio, wimax and PRI before or after.

This is based off the latest OTA which does have the latest radio, for whatever that's worth..

I started testing on the old radio and1.40 PRI and didn't have any issues then at some point made the leap to new radio and 1.77 PRI and again, have had no issues.

It doesn't hurt to try things out and see what works best for you but in theory the newest radio should be better.

Cool thanks, just got done working so gonna crash but thanks I will definitely upgrade all three and post to let you know how it turned out

I installed AC-ROM 2.6 a couple ways and will summarize my results. First, I flashed by wiping cache and davlik-cache and then flashing. It worked fine. However, I noticed that Superuser Permissions never remembered what permissions I had granted. I thought maybe this was a problem with my flashing strategy. So, I flashed after hard reset and wiping cache and davlik-cache. At the same time, I flashed smooth-sense_evo1.0.2. On reboot, it went into a bootanimation loop (Sprint 4G), never got to the point where the capacitive buttons lit up. Next, hard reset, wiped cache and davlik-cache, and flashed, rebooted, restored with Titanium and reflashed smooth-sense. All seems well now. Superuser Permissions operates the same (does not remember permissions). My conclusion is you can flash after only wiping cache and davlik-cache.

Great new AC-Rom upgrade!

This is ChainsDD superuser so the binary gets updated via him. Open the app (Superuser) from your app drawer, click the settings tab, scroll down to the bottom and update your binary should be the last option. That will fix your SU issue.

Also you cant flash smooth sense (or any sort of theme) right after flashing a ROM. you must flash the ROM, reboot, then flash the theme or in this case smooth sense. That's what caused your bootloop issue

Cheers!

I can confirm I'm having the same su problem remembering what apps I've granted permissions to even after updating the binary. I'm going to un-install it and grab it from the market to see if that changes anything.

edit: this is really weird, when I move superuser.apk from /system/app to /sdcard and reboot, it's back in /system/app ...

I was having this problem, but blundered into the "update binary" fix when I opened SU to look for options, and did an update just on general principals.

Since I allowed it to update, I have not been asked more than once about any given app. YMMV.

Try uninstalling,moving it won't do nothing the system still see it as installed.

I'm good for titanium backup, rom manager, root explorer but wifi tether and reboot keep giving me grant permission boxes, it's always the same PID and remember is checked.

I'm trying to, it doesn't appear in any app list so that's why I went after the apk.

Double check that you have actually updated the bin. what you are describing (not remembering permissions) is exactly what happens if you use chainsDD SU.apk without his bin file.

Open SU application > go to settings tab (upper right) > Scroll all the way down > Tap to check for binary updates. It will either tell you the binary has been updated or that you were already up to date.

Also keep in mind that Wireless tether needs SU permission twice. Once for opening and once for closing. after you grant it these permissions AND have the updated binary, it won't ask again.

I just verified. Actually flashed a clean install, duplicated your problem, updated my binary, granted permissions again with the new binary and problem solved.

EDIT - And one last thing. In ChainsDD SU it hast toasts to notify you everytime an application is granted SU, even after you've granted it SU permission. To prevent the toasts, you can go into the settings tab in SU and uncheck notifications. This will only stop toasts from showing up, not actually permission requests when you download a new app that needs root.

Cheers!

I have verified that I'm updated and all the apps appear in the su list. I'm familiar with the "xxxx.. has been granted super user permissions" - I'm still getting prompted to grant permissions using extended controls reboot widget even though it already appears in the list in superuser.

well luckily for you i purchased that widget because of your previous post so hold 1 min and let me see if it's just that widget.

also as a side note, be careful with that widget ... it turns on 4G every time you boot up your phone (for me anyway) and if you're not in a 4G area you'd never know your phone is sitting there scanning wasting battery

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT - Alright after a couple quick tests, the issue appears to be the reboot function (or probaby any SU calls) in that widget. Using the exact same SU.apk, and the exact same SU binary, but using an different root application to accomplish the same result (quickboot) the setting sticks and it doesn't ask you after you grant permission the first time.

I saw, actually it's a great widget I hope you benefit from it, and also thank you for all of your help.

I would blame the widget but I had it running on different roms before and after the initial su request it would be set. I'd like to try with just the superuser from the market but I can't seem to delete the one that came with the rom.

This is the SU from the market (chainsDD)

The SU that you had it working with, was that the little ninja?

Update SU and now OK. Did not know about flashing themes. This is the only one I have ever used.

Thanks for your help.

I just restored a nandroid of cm6 and it's Superuser v2.3.4, reporting that the binary is up to date. It looks like the exact same app. The extend controls widget is on the list and gives me the "extended controls has been granted super user permissions" on reboot and just reboots without a prompt for a su request.

 

[charles77k]

what do i have to back up with titanium, besides apps, in order to be able to restore the scenes i have saved?

Hmm. I checked on my Evo running AC-ROM v2.6 (post SU binary update), and I confirm SU is remembering permission for all of the programs you cite including WiFi tether.

One exception: I don't have reboot and can't check. But if you meant "Quick Boot", that one is remembering permissions for me too.

Not sure why we're seeing different results on WiFi tether. I'm running the version of WFT that came installed with the ROM: 2.05-pre9.
