For those of you worried you will need any of these apps there are better replacements for them in the Market. Trust me you will not miss any of them once you flash this tool. If you are still worried I will eventually make a restore tool that will add them back if need be.

Installation Instructions:

1. Download unleashthebeastv0.2.zip
2. Rename to update.zip
3. Place on sdcard (the built in card, not the removable)
4. Boot into recovery mode
(shut off phone, then hold power, volume up, & volume down at the same time)
5. Select "Reinstall Packages"
6. Enjoy, you have now Unleashed The Beast!

Side-loading Instructions:

1. Open a terminal (you can download "Android Terminal Emulator" in the market)
2. Type in: su
3. Type in: sideloading
4. Your phone will reboot and sideloading will be enabled!

Does this enable app sideloading?

No not yet. I may be able to create a script to do so. I will look into it.

One comment. Busybox 1.18 removes a lot of commands, and those of us that want to use the ext2 lagfix have to revert to the more capable 1.17.1. I'd recommmend that you include 1.17.1 in this file instead of 1.18, until a better version of busybox is released.

I have a silly question. Will this update erase any of my settings ,applications (apps not listed in the first post), and internal memory?

Thanks Guys!

Nope, no settings will be lost.

Since you can remove the AT&T startup screen, does that mean we can put in a custom startup screen? :think:

Only one way to find out, ill give it a go when I get a moment.

Just out of curiosity, what blocks the ads within the browser and apps? Is it just a host file with blacklisted sites? (kind of like adblock). I've already done much of what Unleash The Beast will do except for the ad blocker.

Correct, just replaces a hosts file. You can still run it with no ill effect even if you have done most of it already.

Anyone have a download link to busybox v1.17.1? I seem to have lost it
