im trying to edit txt within busybox vi, but i need help with saving/exit. im running it out of the terminal emulator, and have ctrl set up as <vol. up>, so i believe i need to do <vol up><sym><1> to enter command mode, but i cant seem to get typical vi commands to work (zz) for write/exit. ok if i get past that then i have mounted system as rw, but within the vi it says [read only]. will this be an issue?

When I open the emu and type su and hit enter, it brings up an "Edit Text" dialog box with the options to copy or paste and it won't let me proceed. (I have successfully done it before on another ROM). Am I doing something wrong? Can I run scripts using Root Explorer and how? Is there another emu you would recommend?

Step 1) download busybox binary to your adb tools directory
Step 2) cd to your adb tools directory
Step 3) adb push busybox /data/local/busybox
Step 4) adb shell
Step 5) cd /data/local
Step 6) chmod 755 busybox
Step 7) ./busybox
Now to have this run so droid explorer and detect your phone and so you can use busybox (ie so its in your PATH) run this.
Step 8) mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Step 9) /data/local/busybox cp /data/local/busybox /system/bin
Step 10) mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Step 11) sync
Step 12) reboot

I've been reading some info about rooting a droid here and at rootyourdroid.info, probably going to buy one this afternoon since the incredible isn't out yet. Rooting seems to be pretty universal between PC/Mac, but when it gets to the USB debugging/Busybox install it appears a PC is required. Anyone know if this can be done from a Mac or a Linux box? I don't currently have a Windows computer anywhere in the house, and don't really want to use my work laptop for this if I don't have to.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just got my droid last week and decided to root it and try to get a little crazy with it. However I'm very new, obviously, to the droid and to linux. I just got ubuntu for my computer yesterday and already have it on there and have been working with it a little trying to get things settled. So far I'm very happy with both, but I'm also having some trouble, hence the following...
Well I'm trying to put busybox on my droid. I've got it on there but I'm having problems with making a directory on my phone, which I need to do to continue.
Anyway, what's happening is, ill put in mkdir /system/xbin and it returns "mkdir failed. Read only filesystem." This is after Ive already launched busybox. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.
I have another thread on the troubleshooting sub-section SetCpu suddenly stop working with 2.2 OTA Root device (setcpu isn't working and I think it might be busybox), and I have a question about BusyBox. I have used the Busybox app on the market it detects the root but doesn't find any Busybox. I have the file Busybox on my sd card which I did not put there. How can I check and make sure BusyBox is installed where it is suppose to be?

In my project i am having rich text editor options to apply for the edit text view. In that i applied font color,font names,font size options for user.But these options will apply for whole text available in edit text. But my problem is i want to apply user selected settings (like font color,size,font) for user selected text instead of Whole text. i want to apply the user selected font/color/size to the user selected text.How?
How to implement this .
there is a way to edit the text below your icons. For instance I would like my Handcent icon to instead say "messages" below it. Can I do that and if so how? Also on a side note, could someone enlighten me as to what all this UI business is about? Some people talk about using "sense" and some people use something else. What exactly do these user interfaces do and how do people change them?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am doing a custom edit box class. It starts something like: public class Amount Field extends Edit Text and has over riden the constructor to implement the Edit Text widget style However when I implement this on my XML I get an editable Text View instead of the Edit Text (there is only text but not the surrounding white box) and also when I click on it nothing happens, only text color changes. Are there any ideas on why this happens? I've done list components the same way and style is not altered.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have Apex and I've been running the Mad OC script at 1.3 through terminal emulator. My phone just isn't quite as stable as it should be. Maybe 1 random reboot per day (or it will freeze playing angry birds) How do I modify to OC 1.2 Is there a preferred method to accomplish this? I've tried searching and I only got more confused. I've seen manual methods and I've seen apps free and paid... I know I'll need to edit the set scaling.sh. I haven't done that but I'm willing to try? Which method should I use? Do you have setting that are stable at 1.2? If so please share. I really think the 1.2OC will be the sweet spot for my DX.
