New Explorer, old android user

[Shagggy]

Hey There -

I'm a new explorer. I received my device a few days ago, and I'm excited to see where this platform goes.

As the title states, I'm new to glass, but have android experience since the original Droid. I'm interested in how other Glass users are using their device, and how they've customized it to their needs.

Currently I'm looking into invisblek's post on removing the annoying " | Sent Through Glass" suffix. So excited to lose that. (Since I'm new to posting, I couldn't reply there!!)

Next for me is to:

- Install a Launcher to run sideloaded apps
- Access and read email for my corp email (Active Sync Not Gmail)
- Prompt Guitar tablature for hands free access to tab

Regards,
Shagggy

Shaggy,
Whats going on. I completely forgot to check out XDA for Glass forum lol. I am really excited to remove the sent through glass in my messages (Shout out to Invisblek).

If you want to side load application to glass you can do so via ADB and launch these applications with Launchy. Check it out. (Will post a tutorial video soon).
Email is something that they are currently working on
Guitar tabs in glass....yes! Sweet idea and that is something that is very easy to do since the GDK is right around the corner

Tagline Gone!

I managed to implement Invisiblek's trickery to remove the tagline. Worked like a charm. Installed Launchy and tested a few sideloaded apps. Nothing to report on the other two.

Cheers!!

How difficult was it to run his "trickery" on removing the tagline at the end of every message?

Saurik SU + Invisiblek = JOY

How difficult was it to run his "trickery" on removing the tagline at the end of every message?

"Saurik" has a web post with instructions on how to 'root' your Glass. He has links to the exploit and the SU binary. (saurik dot com /id/16) See this site for the whole process of getting a non-prompting version of SU installed. The clip below is just a snippet.

If you follow this and inject the ADB push of the GlassHome.apk file from invisiblek's post after the ADB push of SU, you are ready to roll.
e/g:
$ adb reboot
$ adb shell "mount -o remount,rw /system"
$ adb push su /system/xbin
$ adb push GlassHome.apk /system/app
$ adb shell "chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su"
$ adb shell "rm /data/local.prop"
$ adb reboot

I wanted to save off the original GlassHome.apk, so I did an ADB pull prior to the push. Of course you are doing this at your own risk, blah, blah, blah... but if you are comfortable with ADB it is not too complicated. I used my MAC, with the latest ADK platform tools, and good ole terminal in OS X.
