Close the browser then...

Code:
sudo gainroot
rm /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so
Flash 9 kind of works in youtube - the plugin is correctly detected (previously with Flash 7, youtube.com would show an error message stating that Javascript is disabled or an old version of Flash is installed) however the video is garbled (at least it is on my 770). Flash advertisments on other sites seem to work fine.
gainroot does not work for me (talks about RD mode)
becomeroot asks for a password.

Any other suggestions?

Without apology I ask: are there any underground hackers working on an alternate release with Skype client support and to h*** with "licensing constraints"?

Note: All I need is a No, or if Yes, a pointer to where these real hackers might be. Followups questioning my moral compass or heritage should be directed elsewhere....I suggest /dev/null but will discuss intellectual property issues on General.
I have to confess, I am also an immoral soul.........pls give us the flash........looks like Milhouse did just like that, thanks.

I couldn't get it to work in vmware and for some reason the qemu route doesn't see the internet.

I didn't have access to my wife's laptop yesterday, but now I do. I'll just boot the ubuntu cd on that.

MMapper loads and somewhat worked for 1.4.7-3 (N800 version) and loads and worked completely with 1.4.7-2 (770 version) under 2007He2007.36-2. I have NOT had one crash yet on the opera browser, I am sure it is going to show up somewhere, speedwise is a lot better. I only have to re-install the sw, the setting/set-up/config are nicely all restored without a glitch via backup/restore. I was able to connect online immediately from both my router and my treo without have to change a thing.

my installed sw version will be posted here, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ead.php?t=9282

Look like initfs is not the same as OS 2006. From what I saw and from maemo wiki (http://maemo.org/community/wiki/os20...b17f7042bef87e) the new initfs is based on RX-34 initfs (n800). So watchout for those how only change the rootfs.

fanoush: any chance you can support this new hacker edition to your modified initfs ?

Thanks

Runs very well for what I need. It is a 100% snappier and I am so glad that this finally out! Hope the development gets better so we don't have to wait so long for each release. Wish putting the cover on did the same thing it did on OS2006 though. Still no PAN though.

_________________________________
2007He2007.36-2 flash 2006OS MMC 1G

First impression
===========
Extremely impressed with this recently released 2007He2007.36-2 version for the 770. The file manager is completely compatible with 2006OS. The prev 2007He (2006.47) version file manager can only read the name of the file, but not execute the file, e.g. you cant even delete the file if file was created under 2006OS and browse under 2007He (3rd party SW is case by case, spreadsheet yes to read but not ren or del, MM route/track cant even read. maps are the same though). For people that flip back and forth with 2007He2006.47 (old one), and 2006OS, like myself (I use 2006OS ONLY for video media, I use 2007He for everything else), I have to keep a copy for each OS, it is headache on management and it wasted tons of space. Now it is over, the new 2007He2007.36-2 does not have this problem. I immediately del dup copies and reclaim space. Space is v precious for a 1G MMC. And yes, 2006OS is able to execute/ren/del files created under 2007He2007.

The new 2007He employed 'similar' GUI as the old one. Some people expressed disappointment. I really dont care, GUI is just a skin, I can put on any skin I want. On a user level point of view (I know, not a double blind scientific comparision with p<.05 bla bla bla), opera browser is more stable, app installation is more smooth (I did not really check, I restore from my own backup, and re-install all the SW, did not encounter even one dependency problem, I am not quite sure, whether the restore or the new version takes care of the dependency problem.)

I use spreadsheet/calender for business, webserving for break/entertainment, video/music for leisure, the first 2 category have improved. Video remains to be try out, 2 out 3 aint bad.

Yes? I heard you, somebody is goin to ask that question "should I upgrade or should I stay with 2006OS?" If you use a lot video media, and HATE to switch, (this is a blatan lie, it is a re-boot, not a switch), between 2007He and 2006OS, I would stay with 2006OS. Other than that, I see absolutely NO reason not to upgrade. "the upgrade is painful", nay, if you always save a copy of the sw before installation, the re-installation is a piece of cake. As a matter of fact, I always format Harddrive and re-install SW every now and then, it is "healthier" and the system runs MUCH smoother in general, any OS or any PC.

when microb for 770 was announced it was mentioned that may be one should install hacker edition. I messed up my previous 2007HE with microb trials and do not want to do that again with the latest update, so my question is whether microb works with latest hacker edition

The first thing I installed after gaining root of the newly flashed 2007he is microb. No, the microb for 770 refuses to install, and the microb for N800 installs successfully but it screws up the browser (application error). Anybody has any success?
