CREDIT::

Thanks to ALL the help I have received from the awesome dev's that this community has:
(I'm sure I have missed someone so let me know)
JRummy16 for all his help on script work
Droid Th3ory for believing in PB and baking it into Th3ory Pakx.
RazorLoves
DXC for the door that led me to find the exploit
Koush for the OG of recovery ClockworkMod


Testers YOU are the reason that this MOD develops so quickly and I am able to keep this updated. Without your eagerness to find the bugs to make this stable it would be months between updates instead of whatever it is now.

I was really hoping to have this on the X2


Is there anything I can do to use it?
I was really hoping to use this for its unthrottle. Im on eclipse 1.3 and have busybox 1.19gitadrynaline.

Please let me know if there is a way I can use it. I just would need to know where to push what files and what permission is needed on them.

Thanks! And if not I hope to see it soon for the X2. Ill keep waiting patiently
was just hoping I may be able to get in on this. It sounds AWESOME. I've been following this mod for a long time now

two thing I found, it appears that you need to enter "su" in step 2 and after running step 2 I'm still getting errors where directories are not being found as well as the same type of errors on step 3 as I previously PM'd about after doing a fresh install on RC1. I'm going to restore my backup and try again in the morning with a fresh wipe/reinstall.
 
#67 · (Edited by Moderator)
I know that quoting yourself is kind of gauche but I just wanted to share my experiences on the install, I had tried to do this last night but I kept getting the different "file/directory not found errors." even with the latest zip. I did try and reinstall RC1 but that didn't correct the issues, so finally I had to do a data/cache wipe, install the latest CW updates, install the version 1.19.0 of Busybox (I did have 1.19.3) and the Busybox installer app kept erroring out until I went in and manually deleted the file from both bin and xbin. Short story long, I did get a successful install of PB 2.2 (I did have to manually copy the unzipped files to the correct locations on the SD card) and it appears that all of the mods are running correctly except for Cron (it give me an error under check mods) but I'm not worrying about that much since that has been reported by others also. One other thing, I did the PB install before I signed back into the Market just to minimize the number of variables that could cause a bad install. So now I'm in the process of recovering all my Apps and getting the DX back to where it was. Just thought I would pass my experiences along to the community.

Thanks to BMC for all his great work in coming up with PB and all the other things he does.

Cheers.

I already have pb 2.1 installed I rwflashed 1.11.9 without a wipe. Extracted pb 2.2 and opened with script manager all went well then it rebooted. Used terminal su..sysrw..powerboost it was still pb2.1 not 2.2. I am trying to get rid of 2.1 so I can use 2.2
Odd...Try restoring to stock in powerboost then reflashing. then rerun setup.sh and continue

Nope, no such file in directory after selecting option 2 (stock) I know it backed it up originally. Guess I need to restore my 1.11.9 ( clean backup) and start over, unless you have an idea
I would go into your files and delete everything that had to do with previuos installs of pb. Then reflash your rom and then download and extract 2.2. I had similiar issues in testing

Re-boot seems to have fixed it for now. I did not see any improvement in up/down speeds with first few speed tests. Upload speeds might be a little faster than usual, but download speeds are unchanged. I will keep playing and report back if anything changes. Regardless, thanks for all your efforts. The other changes seem to be working just fine, the phone is very fast and smooth.
