Hi Thony,

The LCD Density modder pro is an app to change the overall resolution of SCT. It has nothing to do with the background. It's like on a PC. If you change the resolution and make it higher, you'll get more room and everything becomes smaller and less crowded. The main benefit is that some apps are better when using a higher resolution. Otherwise they are cut of or you have to scroll more.

Here are the links for the apps you requested

Googlemaps
Maps 6.14.4.apk

You Tube
Youtube_2.5.16.apk

The exact way to change backgrounds in ADW I have to look up and let you know...


Hi santu001,

Could you update the youtube_2.5.16 file?
I went all over internet (1st layer) but I couldn't find it.
The one I found Youtube 2.4.4 does not work.

Best regards

If somebody stil experiencing problems with waze muting sound, there is another solution:
https://www.xda-developers.com/personalized-settings-for-individual-apps-with-app-override/
App override allows to assign silent sound profile to waze, which will keep it quiet.
As a result it will not stop spotify and radio anymore.

You were actually able to get Waze to be stable and not lose its config every few times you start the car? What version do you have installed and what other helpers (like a Tasker scripts) do you have involved with keeping it stable? I have been reading in this forum and trying different versions and options for a while and gave up on Waze on my SCT. If you have a stable install, please fill me in on how you did it.
Thanks!

Apps still worth the trouble?

Hi there

Seeing this post in 2018, I'm wondering does all of that still work?

I've got a SCT Unit retrofitted last year and updated the system to it's current firmware version, so for all I know it should work.
What I'm asking myself here is, are the Google Maps up to date? Are any Apps even worth it, installing them on an Android 2.3.3 I mean.
I would just love to have an build in online navigation system that is up-to-date and has realtime traffic information. Sound Guide is nice to have but not necessary.

Also could I retrofit Android Auto with the rooting of this system?

Another thing, I may be completely wrong here but, my Volvo Dealer is asking for 100 bucks to get rid of the update lockout for the original Volvo Maps. So I can only update them once I paid them the unlocking fee. Is there any way around it or do I have to pay them?

Thank you very much in advance.

Also big, big :good: for all the work here
regards
Wytoo

Hello,
first i would like to appreciate everyone here that helped me to root my SCT as of all my experience with volvo and IGo (which i bought extremely expensive with Volvo as you know) disapoointed me. At last when i finally yesterday root my SCT i am able to use Google maps which are perfect.
I have a problem installing Large APKs to SD card as i am using the one who came with Volvo IGO , the error message from ADB is ( need root). can i get help to overcome that and root my SD card if any.
regards

Are the maps up-to-date? Can you use it with all functionalities, like traffic information, rerouting cause of traffic etc.

It works quite fine.
  • Install waze 3.7.7.0 (this version is added to asteroid market, but not for SCT)
  • Move waze to SD card
  • Disable voice alerts in preferences file (this stops waze muting radio)

Hi incogn1to,

This sounds pretty good.

Can you please share the .apk you used and from where did you get it?
I have seen at the 4pad.ru form you tried to use the astroid marked. Did you got it working on the SCT?
What do you mean with disable voice alerts in the preferences file? Which file in particular?

Thanks a lot (I tried a lot of different waze versions and non of them seem to be still functional) :)

I'm using this one. Preference file is located in sdcard.
As far as I recall /sdcard/waze/preferences. There is some options, which are quite useful. I'll check it on my unit tomorrow. This version is not perfect, but reasonable enough. I would prefer to upgrade to something new.

I just rooted my SDK, but now the App "Music Source" can't find my iPhone if I plug in into the SCT Ports in the glovebox. It just says "iPhone 5 Failure" It work if I use the old interface though and the center console usb port.


Can someone please help me? Do I just have to use a different App now or are the ports broken?

Update: It fixed itself ^^

Waze bundle attached.

I've just installed this version, but everytime I leave the car for an hour or so when I start the app it acts like I've never started it before.
It initialises and asks me to agree to the contract, login and so on. what can I do to get it to remember my actions.

The same happens to google maps if I start it directly and not through the navigation app. It asks me to accept the contract, but even when I say remember my choice. The next time it pops up again.

Hey guys,

i'm looking into sideloading apps on my Volvo XC90 with Volvo Sensus Connected Touch - but i am unable to connect via adb to the car. I tried creating a Wi-Fi Hotspot within the Sensus Menu or joining an existing network. I can ping the device without any issues, but I am unable to connect via ADB.

I guess that this is related to the latest update the Sensus received some weeks ago from the local car dealer at the regular service. There is probably a new software version on this device, because some things look different now and there are some funny translations.

Does anyone have some informations about this update and could tell me to get ADB working again?

Thanks in advance
Max

Edit: Oh well.. i think this thread is for the older version of the Volvo Sensus Connect. Any chance to get this working on the device with the large touchscreen in portait orientation?

Have you installed it to SD card? I have this problem only if waze is installed to internal memory.
Are you using latest firmware? Only thing I did - I removed all unneeded applications (I left only things I really use).
PS Actually without waze I would consider this hardware useless =))



---------- Post added at 06:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:06 PM ----------

Waze can use 2 modes. "phone output or other" I tried them both, no real difference.
the /system/cksoft_ro folder has a lot of sound/mute settings. I think it's a setting somewhere in there. From what I've read, iGo is using/setting volume correctly.

Regarding GPS performance:
I'm still not happy with my GPS performance so it did some digging.

It turns out that
1. our gps receiver can be set in a high gain mode. might improve snr ratios.
2. the sirf iv can be set in 5hz mode (needs baudrate of 112k)
3. ephemeris data is download from parrot, but this happens rarely

Now looking into the build.prop I see the following:
Code:
#GPS
ro.parrot.gps.baud=57600
#protocol is binary or nmea
ro.parrot.gps.protocol=binary
#extended ephemeris validity (around 10Ko per day) choose between: 1/3/7/14 days
ro.parrot.gps.nbday_ee=14
ro.parrot.gps.date_auto=0
ro.parrot.gps.time_auto=0
ro.parrot.gps.time_send=2
ro.parrot.gps.static_nav=1
# Dead Reckoning timeout
ro.parrot.gps.dr_timeout=5
# persist.sys.parrot.gps.ppsout : 1 = pps out enabled (default), 0 = disabled
persist.sys.parrot.gps.ppsout = 1
# ro.parrot.gps.lowgain : 0 high gain (default), 1 activate low gain
ro.parrot.gps.lowgain = 1
We can control the baud rate, gps gain (lowgain setting !), and ephemeris data.
Normally ephemeris is only valid for up to 4 hours. Wondering why parrot will force us to use 14 days old data.

But the lowgain setting looks tempting ;) I need to figure out what the time settings are as timing is crucial for accurate fix.
The GPS refresh rate can be set in property folder.

[edit] dit some more digging. low gain is ideal for active antenna, and high gain is ideal for passive antenna.
The Volvo antenna is probably an active antenna.

Setting gps baudrate to 115200 improved things massively. Thanks.

Thanks for the details. But I still have an issue with the internet connection. No matter how I connect, either via a WIFI hotspot or my huawei e3372 (4G stick), waze can't establish a connection. Everything else works fine (Browser, GMaps etc...) How do you connect?

Waze is added to auto launch, so it starts together with system.
When my mobile phone connects to cars BT, it starts Wi-Fi hotspot, which is picked by SCT.
This is done using MacroDroid.

BTW, to disable audio alerts (prevents Waze from muting radio), open /sdcard/waze/preferences and set:
Alerts.Enable Audio Alerts: no

You can try waze 3.8.1.0. It is more stable in terms of connections. IMHO even better choice. Only difference - preference file in this case have migrated to /data/data/com.waze/preferences.

SCT Spotify login problem

I´m pistoff, last week Spotify stopped working and it’s not possible to login to Spotify do to a premium account problem.
Yes, I have premium but in a post at Spotify forum i look like the Soptify libspotify is not supported. Parrot is working on a fix but who knows.

Could a update of the SCT help? Or have someone have a solution?

Regarding waze, I think I've found a good configuration, which works for me.
  1. Install waze 3.8.1.0
  2. Move waze app to SD card
  3. Launch waze and login
  4. Exit waze
  5. Open comand line and go to /data/data/com.waze/
  6. Remove write permissions for two files - preferences and user (chmod 444 preferences user)
  7. Both files allow you to configure waze
  8. Removing write permissions will stop waze from messing with config files and logging you out
  9. Edit both files for configuration you need
  10. My files are attached as reference
  11. I've disabled some of annoying features
  12. Any feedback welcomed
  13. Good luck! ;)







This will stop waze logging out your account.

    Volvo Sensus Connected Touch (SCT) is a new car audio-navi system based on systems of Parrot. SCT has hardware and software from the Parrot, but is not exactly equal. In general it has some more restrictions build in by Volvo.
    The system is based on the Parrot FC6100 (not the Parrot Asteroid Smart as was first believed). Looking at the Installation manual for Sensus Connected Touch (ACU) Accessory, Part Number: 31399165 the form factor is closest to the Parrot Asteroid Tablet (PAT). The only similarity that the SCT has with the PAS is Parrot's custom base of the Android 2.3 branch which is also shared by the PAT. So, if anything is more analogous to the Parrot Asteroid Tablet (PAT) than the Parrot Asteroid Smart. (thanks to Donaldta, see post) (Link to the Volvo V40 (MY14) SCT installation manual, also attached to this post as pdf)

    This is how the hardware of the SCT looks if outside of the car (thanks to @AAT):





    This thread is research and development on several topics and has already some nice answers:
    The starting questions:
    1. How to get ADB working y
    2. How to install .apk files y
    3. How to root y

    WARNING!:
    The below mentioned method is an experimental way of rooting. Rooting your SCT involves some android knowledge. Me, the developers and anyone in this topic are not responsible for typo's or any damage that may occur when you follow these instructions.
    ROOTING means you have complete control over the android system. This also means you can do damage to it.

    Security warning:
    The SCT has ADB over WIFI enabled by default. Never ever connect your Volvo SCT to an unknown and/or untrusted network! Anyone connected to that same network can harm your Volvo SCT. The same applies for connecting unknown people to a known/trusted network of yours.
    Security warning 2:
    If your ROOTED your SCT, you are extra vulnerable to above. Anyone with ADB on the same network has complete control over your SCT!


    WARNING!

    Do NOT attempt to replace the SCT's BUSYBOX executable or the command symlinks to it. Another user in this forum just sent me a private message stating that they tried this on their SCT and can no longer mount USB drives or connect to ADB over WiFi. Apparently, they also do not have a File Explorer or a Terminal Emulator installed so it seems this is going to be nearly impossible to fix and will most likely be required to swap it at the dealer.
    See message from @donaldta : Message




    The below answers are not yet completely reviewed and tested. The answers will be reviewed in the next days. In any case the instructions below are delivered "as is" and have no guaranty. If you follow the instructions below, you are responsible for your own actions. So, before you do so, understand, or at least try to, what you are doing. If you have questions or have recommendations, post them in the topic.

    The answers and instructions below are constructed from the work of @gekkekoe123 and @donaldta and the trial and error experiments of the first users of the SCT (see first pages of the topic)
    This means everone using these instructions must give BIG THANKS TO @gekkekoe123 and @donaldta


    Instructions to root en install apps:

    Note: Instructions are tested on specific versions of the Volvo SCT
    It is possible that these instructions below are not (yet) working on other versions: Other continents, newer versions etc.
    If you tested it on a different continent + version, let me know, so I can put it here.

    Available versions:
    EU
    -1.47.88 - Tested
    -1.47.96 - Tested
    -1.49.34 Tested
    • One click script version 4 in attachments cmd-frama-menu-4.zip (4.62 MB)
      One-click script with menu provided by @gekkekoe123 and @donaldta
      Oneclick , latest version, script is discussed from here


      It is rather simple as long as You have the SENSUS CONNECTED TOUCH and a PC (prefer a laptop) which You need to connect to the same network.

      How to:
      1. Preparing
      *Download the: cmd-frama-menu-4.zip from the page 1, first post attachments. LINK: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2636951&d=1395149723

      2. Follow the instructions
      The instructions are rather simple.
      -Connect your SCT to the same Wifi network as your PC. This wifi network can be your home network or your local hotspot from your phone.
      -Unzip the (cmd-frama-menu-4.zip) and start menu.bat found in the folder "menu"
      - After starting menu.bat on your pc it will ask:
      Code:
      Input {IP Address of Android Device} or USB:
      Type in the IP address of the SCT, can be found when You go to the settings on SCT -> WIFI -> and click on the connected network (starts with 192.-).
      After that the menu look list this: (Now just type in: 1 and wait a bit so it will say complete, then type in 2 and wait a bit until complete and so on, until step 6 when the SCT will restart itself)
      Code:
      1 - Copy Framaroot files and execute.
      2 - Install remount.sh into /system/xbin and remount as writeable.
      3 - Alter /system/build.prop to ro.parrot.install-all=true
      4 - Install Google Framework & Android Market
      5 - Install rewhitelist.sh/setpropex/patch init.parrot.capabilities.sh
      6 - Reboot Android Device
      7 - Install Android Packages from APKs folder.
      8 - Android Debug Bridge Shell
      9 - Save ADB Bugreport to Disk
      R - Input connection information & retry ADB connect.
      Q - Quit
      Run steps 1 through 6 in order to root the SCT.
      Step 7 is optional and will install all APKs you have placed inside the APKs folder in your unzipped menu.zip folder on your pc PC.
      Step 8 is for manual commands or troubleshooting.
      Step 9 is for troubleshooting.
      Step R is only needed when the connection to the SCT seems lost.

      3. You should have now a rooted SCT.

      4. Installing applications
      I noticed that lots of Apps from Google Play Store can not be downloaded directly to the SCT (because the SCT is not in the available list of the apps) so a easy way is to download the Applications as ".apk" files from the PC (You can find the desired app from: http://www.appsapk.com/ or http://www.androiddrawer.com/ for example).
      Then copy-paste these .apk files(make sure they do not have any spaces in the filenames) to the folder "APKs" found in the downloaded unzipped folder "cmd-frama-menu-4". To install them, run the menu.bat again and once connected with the SCT again run the step 7 to install the applications You copied to the APK folder.

      If you want to install apps using the Google Play Store that are larger than 7MB or so, you need to remap the cache directory to the SD card:
      Code:
      remount.sh cache-sd
      Then after the app installation has finished, but before you start the app, remap the cache directory to the internal SCT memory:
      Code:
      remount.sh cache-og

      5. Enable displaying applications while driving (disable safety feature)
      1. Download Android Terminal Emulator from Google Play Store on Your rooted SCT.
      2. Once installed, run Android Terminal Emulator under Applications
      3. touch the screen - the keyboard pops up
      4. Type in "su" press ENTER
      5. It should ask wether You allow Superuser or not, choose the "Allow" option.
      6. Type in "rewhitelist.sh" press ENTER
      7. Type in "reboot" press ENTER

      6. Enable Google Maps and Voice Search
      First install google.maps.6.14.4.apk by the method explained above. Then copy libvoicesearch.so to /system/lib and install Voice_Search_2.1.4.apk. These files can be found in Voice_Search_2.1.4.zip.
      Here is an example of how to do this with adb:
      Code:
      adb connect [ip of your SCT]
      adb push google.maps.6.14.4.apk /mnt/sdcard
      adb install /mnt/sdcard/google.maps.6.14.4.apk
      adb push libvoicesearch.so /mnt/sdcard
      adb shell su -c 'remount.sh system-rw'
      adb shell su -c 'cp /mnt/sdcard/libvoicesearch.so /system/lib'
      adb shell su -c 'chmod 644 /system/lib/libvoicesearch.so'
      adb push Voice_Search_2.1.4.apk /mnt/sdcard
      adb install /mnt/sdcard/Voice_Search_2.1.4.apk
      Now #reboot# and Google Maps and Voice Search should be working.


      Now You should be done. Happy downloading and drive safely. :)

      Older instructions, just for reference here, do not follow anymore.

      [*]One-click script with menu provided by @gekkekoe123 and @donaldta
      This one-click script with menu options is here

      [*]One click script for version 1.49.34: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=50846498
      Actually it was fine (since we are in the root folder), but since I was too lazy, I used your file. I had to correct the "true" to 1.
      I also changed the menu to do this. I removed the set prop option, it's not needed anymore. Setpropex should also work on older versions.

      Btw, I did the upgrade manually using adb shell, and did not used the menu.bat.
      So if anyone could test it or double check the menu.bat file, it should be fine. I translated the manual commands back into the menu.bat

      My SCT is upgraded and I am able to install apks :) Let's find out if waze lost of data is fixed. Also adjusting screen dpi is still working. But we now have setpropex so we can override everything ;)

      When you finished step 5, you need to reboot in order to be able to install apks.

      As allways: no guarantee and at your own risk when using the tools



      Manual instructions and commands:

      1. Detailed instructions how to get ADB working between your pc and SCT
        1. Download the Android SDK, it contains the nescesary tools like ADB.exe and Monitor.bat (Download page Android SDK)
        2. Install the android SDK
        3. If you are using windows: set the installation path of your SDK\platform-tools\ in your windows environment variables. So, add c:\\SDK\Platform-tools\ to it. (More instructions on this point)
        4. Now connect your SCT to a Wifi network and also connect your laptop/pc to the same wifi network. This network can be your home network, or for example the wifi network you create with your phone wifi-tether function.
        5. Go into the SCT>Settings>Wifi and click on your connection details. Find out the IP adress of your SCT. (example, it would be something like 192.168.43.x if you are using wifi tether from your android phone. )
        6. Now on your pc, open the command line (cmd). Easiest is to click with shift-button hold and with Right-Mouse-Button on the folder where the files reside you want to transfer to the SCT (see instructions further for rooting). After RMB click, choose option: open command line here.
        7. Now type:
          Code:
          adb connect $IPADDRESS
          Replace $IPADRESS with the IP from the previous step.
        8. ADB is now connected and you are ready to type the instructions for rooting.
          Code:
          D:\sdk\platform-tools>adb connect 192.168.43.5
          connected to 192.168.43.5:5555


      2. Detailed instructions how to Root SCT
        1. Download the cmd-frama-working.zip from the attachments
          Attachment
        2. Unzip it into a folder (example: d:\sct\ )
        3. Open the commandline in this folder
        4. Connect to adb (see instructions above)
        5. Do the following commands (line by line):
          Usage:
          Code:
          adb push libframalib.so /data/local/.
          adb push sploit.jar /data/local/.
          adb shell mkdir /data/local/tmp/dalvik-cache
          adb shell ANDROID_DATA=/data/local/tmp LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/data/local dalvikvm -cp /data/local/sploit.jar com.alephzain.framaroot.FramaAdbActivity Gimli 0
          [or]
          adb shell ANDROID_DATA=/data/local/tmp LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/data/local dalvikvm -cp /data/local/sploit.jar com.alephzain.framaroot.FramaActivity Gimli 0
          See post here and thank developer!
        6. Now you are rooted:
          Code:
          cmd line frama root by Gekkekkoe
          Credits to alephzain for Framalib
          using Exploit: Gimli choice: 0
          Executing Check
          idx: 0 value: Gimli
          idx: 1 value: Aragorn
          Executing Check Completed
          No such user 'root:root'
          No such user 'root:root'
          Result: 0
        7. Test root by command:
          Code:
          adb shell
          su
          id
          On the SCT you will get a screen of SuperSU, asking if shell may have root access privileges. Say yes.
        8. exit the su and shell using
          Code:
          exit
          exit
        9. Reboot the SCT
          If you are still within shell, just use
          Code:
          reboot
          If you are on command line again, use
          Code:
          Adb Reboot
      3. Detailed instructions how to get Google framework and Google Play (market) on the SCT
        1. Download the files for framework and market

          Framework
          Market
        2. Push them to your SCT
          Code:
          adb shell su root -c 'mount -o remount,rw ubi0:system /system'
          adb push GoogleServicesFramework-2.2.1.apk /data/local/.
          adb push Market-3.3.11.apk /data/local/.
          adb shell
        3. Now install them
          Code:
          cp /data/local/*.apk /system/app/.
          chmod 644 /system/app/GoogleServicesFramework-2.2.1.apk
          chmod 644 /system/app/Market-3.3.11.apk
          reboot
        4. After reboot, connect the SCT to internet
        5. Open the google market on your SCT (in the applications drawer)
        6. Log in with your google credentials
        7. Accept terms and conditions
        8. Be sure to stay connected to internet, google market will update itself after some minutes
        9. Connect Adb and force SCT to reboot again.
        10. Open Market/Play and Accept terms and conditions again! (now for the updated versions)
        11. Wait for some time, it will again update itself again.
        12. Open adb, force reboot again
        13. Last time open Play (It should be named Play now, since it is updated, if it is not, wait longer and try previous steps again)
        14. Go into My Apps, update SuperSu
        15. After update, open SuperSu from your app drawer
        16. It will ask to update SuperSu Binary, use Normal Method
        17. Say thanks to Chainfire for the SuperSu :)
        18. In settings, you can disable the popup that will ask if you want to run an App that is using root. Can be convenient, but also dangerous (apps can use root even without notifying you.)

      4. Detailed instructions how to installation of other apps
        1. We have to enable installing all apps on SCT. Warning, this means editing the build.prop, which is vital to the system. Typing errors can result in a system that will not boot correctly.


          More methods apply here, use one which is convenient to you:
        2. Fast method:
          Code:
          adb shell
          mount -o remount,rw ubi0:system /system
          sed -i 's/ro.parrot.install.allow-all=false/ro.parrot.install.allow-all=true/' /system/build.prop
        3. Slow method, more control, moderate risk:
          Code:
          adb pull /system/build.prop
          edit content and set to true. Content of the file should look like this
          Code:
          #TODO Set to false for prod #Package install limitations. Set to false to allow only the install of verified packages 
          ro.parrot.install.allow-all=true
          replace build.prop with proper one.
          Code:
          adb shell su root -c 'mount -o remount,rw ubi0:system /system'
          adb push build.prop /system/build.prop
          If above does not work, use method like the google framework.
        4. Third method: install ES file explorer, use the rooting functions of this app to edit build.prop
          Instructions in this post and this post
      5. Detailed instructions how to install APK files
        1. Method 1: Use google play
        2. Method 2: If not available on google play, use a Google Play APK downloader on your pc and install using the
          Code:
          ADB install
          or using
          ES Fileexplorer mentioned above
      6. Detailed instructions how to make apps available during driving

        All apps are behind a security wall of the SCT. When driving >5km/h, all apps not listed in the whitelist.xml will be disabled. To enable your installed apps you have to edit the whitelist.xml
        Warning: it is a safety feature you are disabling now, it is your own responsability when using apps during driving

        1. Slow method:
        2. Get the whitelist.xml from your SCT

          Code:
          adb pull /system/etc/whitelist.xml
        3. Find out which packages are installed and have to be listed there:
          Code:
          adb shell
          pm list packages
          Other method, look to the url of google play on your pc, see bold part: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop
        4. List the packages by adding new lines with the package names
        5. Edit the whitelist.xml using a smart text editor. Preferably use Notepad++
        6. Copy the whitelist back to SCT

          Code:
          adb push whitelist.xml /data/local
          adb shell
          su
          mount -o remount,rw ubi0:system /system
          cp /data/local/whitelist.xml /system/etc
          reboot



          Scripted method:
        7. Download script
        8. Instructions in this post



    • FAQ
      1. Audio is not working when using application X
        This is a feature or limitation by design
        - TomTom and other navigation apps will break Sound/Audio due to this feature.
      2. If you have more, PM me or react in topic

    • TIPS
      1. Use a USB keyboard in combination with ES file explorer or a Shell app to edit files on the system.
      2. If you have more, PM me or react in topic

    Google Street View

    Alright, as I sit in the eve of the New Year, I will bid you all farewell to the old and welcome in the new. To commemorate this event, I will leave you with a parting/welcoming gift. Attached is a copy of the Google Street View APK. While it does not provide an icon in the app drawer, it does enable 360° Street View within Google Nav (which is apart of the Google Maps version 6.14.4 that's compatible with Gingerbread).

    Well, adb install still won't work. What part do you mean?

    Euh you have basically full control over the unit now.
    - You can now allow install from unknow sources.
    - you can install google playstore... and Get TOMTOM on it :)
    - See the parrot thread, once you have root

    I cleaned up the code. Attached is the working version.
    I will make a version that autodetects and exploits. But thats for the coming days :)

    Usage:
    Code:
    adb push libframalib.so /data/local/.
    adb push sploit.jar /data/local/.
    adb shell mkdir /data/local/tmp/dalvik-cache
    adb shell ANDROID_DATA=/data/local/tmp LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/data/local dalvikvm -cp /data/local/sploit.jar com.alephzain.framaroot.FramaAdbActivity Gimli 0
    [or]
    adb shell ANDROID_DATA=/data/local/tmp LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/data/local dalvikvm -cp /data/local/sploit.jar com.alephzain.framaroot.FramaActivity Gimli 0

    Here are all the free APKs from the Asteroid Market available to me for the Smart ...and the rest of them are too large to share as an attachment.

    Okay, it suddenly occurred to me that 7-zip can split files to help in situations where there is a upload size limitation. I've split the rest of the oversized APKs into equal parts and included them with this post. I had to append the extra ".zip" extension in order to upload them, so you'll need to remove the extension after downloading them in order for 7-zip to detect them as split parts and combine them.

    OK, I took the risk. Installed the Volvo update this morning. Rerooted (without any problems) and after a second reboot found that ADW is still installed with all my apps.

    Happy updating all!
