Should wipeing data require a new install tho>?

I got caught off guard by that today. I wiped my data and forgot that the modules are on that partition. So im like "ok i can run the update anwyays", but the recovery update is for full android updates and not modules.

I had to rename the androidupdate.tgz to update.tgz and move it to the root of the sdcard (thank goodnes we have ums), and finally updated with the fresh set of modules.

I'm still wondering if i should just have the update and the modules use the same name.. in my eyes its more confusing but we will see what the crowd says.

im still cleaning up all my stuff before i upload everything tonight.

Cool, I'd like to see what's new.

Tried the "latest" as of this post, and data still doesn't work for me - hm. I have a 3g icon, but when i adb shell, ifconfig returns nothing. ps shows that pppd is in fact running...

I did try ifconfig ppp0, and it did return an IP. I couldn't ping 8.8.8.8... Hrm. Ah well, I'll try out the new stuff when it's up!

Edit - really weird, not sure what this means but I couldn't cp from the command line. Had to /bin/cp...

ofc, /bin/ifconfig also now returns valid output... hrm...

you know the wifi issue and this other issue ur talking about is mainly because we removed /bin from the path. damn people and them wanting root. but i suppose with a full busybox in ur system/bin you should have no issues.

Durn those people (o wait I want it to use TB

).

You guys'll hash it all out in time - perhaps we should just use that su app, I'm not sure what the right answer is... Wouldn't break your back if an app can do it easily.

since we are trying to comply with aosp . then use whatever app you can to make it work

Superuser is an awesome app, but think of it more like UAC and not as providing su. It prompts for permissions when an application requests root access which I think is necessary for security reasons. I think we should put the Superuser app in the ROM's by default

Did we actually remove /bin from the path? I was able to fix su by simply removing the su link from /bin. I did commit that change to bootenv btw

yeah we did since people want to install their own busybox. So even if they install it and if bin is still around then it will cause issue. /bin has to completely be removed.

Add the busybox from the rootfs to the /system/bin in the androidupdate.tgz.

Then we don't have to worry about it.

the busybox apk works well actualy. gives u the option to install on /system/bin or xbin.. so let these animals do it..
