you could try modifying build.prop and change ro.build.version.sdk to 5. Don't know if it will work.

please let us know if it worked

you can tell the app that you are on 2.0 but there is still no multitouch support in 1.5 so you only get errors.

multitouch in dolphin browser works on the 1.5 hero, if u change the build prop to say android version 2.1 and sdk 6 then it should work.

anyway to do that without using adb shell?

it worked for me changing the build.prop sdk to 6 and build to 2.1
since vi is unusable under adb shell.
I juste did this :
./adb remount
./adb pull /system/build.prop .
vim build.prop
-- Here I changed sdk and build version as it was said in this thread.
./adb push build.prop /system/build.prop
but no multi touch support, controls act very strangely.
"only tried with toon warz little"

would this method allow for 2.0 apps to be installed, like say....the new google maps with nav?

i can't imagine this to work. maybe you are able to install it, but there will be FC's when you try to start it, i'd guess it depends on more than just a string in some text file...

Req: java emulator update file thnk you very much

Guy!
had anyone here has a java emu update file thanks

Android doesn't use a java VM it uses dalvik instead. Dalvik was reverse engineered to do java. I am pretty sure there are no updates for it except gingerbread.

hmm, instead of running opera mini jar on java emulator, why didn't you install operamini from market, or download the apk and install it via astro?
I think it will be better in performance.

[MOD] Script to clean up basic Darky's ROM 9.2 Resurrect Edtition

For anyone annoyed with the useless Dutch and otherwise unremovable things in Darky's ROM 9.2 I made a simple Bash script, to remove them without installing any additional applications. It was tested only on Darky's ROM 9.2 Resurrection Edition without installed third-party applications.
Steps: Get my script for cleaning up basic Darky's ROM 9.2 Resurrect Edition here, connect over USB in USB debugging mode, get ADB command to work (./bin/adblinux) and run ./cleandarky92.sh.
It will remove:
FileIndex
PressReader
Samsung
Telegraaf
DigiLezen
There are also other useless things you can remove by yourself with Task Manager if you are not using them:
Voodoo Control App (if you are using SpeedMod kernel)
FasterFix
More info on: http://gw.tnode.com/0469-Android/
For those who do not know what this is about, just ignore it... This was sent to the Q&A forum, because I don't have sufficient permissions to post to the development forums where it belongs with working links.

You could also just use Root Explorer and delete the .apk file in /system/app directory and then reboot your phone.
thats what i did anyway.

True, or copy it to another place. There are probably also other things that need to be cleaned up that is why I started writing this script.

Super effort.
PS : Probably Darkyy should integrate this into his ROM.

We will for v9.3 - will be a clean new XWJS5 with a new way to install...
@OP
Thanks for the script - good temporary solution.

Or get Root uninstaller from the market, does the same thing as Root explorer (uninstall stock apps), but for free .

you shouldn'd remove that
this app allows you to control the voodoo sound settings - for every kernel that is using voodoo sound, as speedmod does

[Q] chroot Ubuntu on Nexus 7 (2013)

Not sure if anyone is interested or not but I have a chrooted Ubuntu 12.04 and Ubuntu 13.10 on my N7 running.
If anyone is interested I can post the steps and scripts I used, so you can do it yourself, and learn as you do it which is fun lol.
Most of the information is available via google searches however some things are not mentioned.
I have almost got LXDE running in the chroot without vnc, however not fully.
The problem I am having is when I startx or xinit /usr/bin/lxsession it displays a blank screen. When I kill the process, the LXDE background displays with a cursor. Not sure why it waits to display when I kill the process kind of weird.
Anyways thoughts, comments, constructive criticism.

photo of the actual N7 screen img2.jpg

I guess there is a guide already from what I read.
No need for a guide unless someone wants to try making their own Ubuntu chroot. Then you will have the ability to make you own image size etc.
If anyone is interested or wants to do this post here and I will provide the steps.
And assist with scripts and what not.
By no means did I come up with this on my own, however many guides have scripts that don't work etc due to your version on android or device etc.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

I'm using the guide in the General Section to use Kali PwnPad with my N7. I was using Backtrack with my 2012 and just bought a 2013 and very happy so far that everything works with Kali but with a better performance!
Wifi USB host was the main concern and it works great.
Nice job you have done too can you send me or share your chroot script please?

yes, do you need startup scripts or launch scripts for vnc and x
or just the chroot script to get into linux?

UPDATE
I made scripts which will allow the creation of the linux image right on the device itself.
It downloads approximately 200 megs for the packages, no more need to download huge image files...
Right now ubuntu works for sure testing others...

Great job! Could you share those somewhere (I'm interested in running other distributions e.g. Fedora and Mer)

[Q] Safe services/applications to Disable

Hi
Does anyone know of a list that displays all the services/applications that are OK (Safe) to disable, to allow for less processes to run in the background and possible better battery life?
I'm running an HTC One m9 on AT&T !
Thanks,
James

The easy way is to S-Off and convert your AT&T to a Developer Edition
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-one-m9/general/att-developer-edition-ruu-how-to-t3086948
After that it's pretty simple to use a root explorer and remove the rest of the junk Google / HTC apps you don't use
You will need a custom kernel for the changes to stick

I used application called Titanium Backup to clean my device and to remove all the crap from inside, what eventually allowed me to beautifully deploy my operational environment built on top of this Android OS powered by this gorgeous piece of htc hardware..
