ROM Build

Hey guys,

Know you haven't gotten an update from me for awhile, I do apologize.. been working crazy hours at work so not had alot of time to send out updates.

I wanted to let everyone know that I am currently re-building the ROM completely to base it off of the 2.3.4 leak. I have a basic build right now that is running pretty good, just a couple customizations I want to do before I post it up. Couple things to look for in the new build, 3.0 lockscreen, build will be 2.3.4, Removing most if not all of HTC Sense, like before, want to get the GPS Accurate completely before I load it.. not sure about ya'll but I am hating the fact that the GPS shows the wrong location.. Going to theme the framework to match Gingerbread better. Going to use ADW Launcher instead of launcher pro.. and many other things as I get them going. Hopefully will have a basic build to post here soon. Keep an update on the threads, I will make a new thread when I post the new build. If anyone has any requests now let me know and I will see what I can do.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Kennyc11:
Since your new build is being based off of the 2.3.4 leak, is it safe to assume it will work on the new radio that was leaked as well?

Oh and I have a request. Please have the screen off animation for the build!! It is my favorite part of gingerbread.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SDracis:
Yes, it will only work with the new radio which I will put on the post as well. Also, the screen off animation is actually one of the things I am currently working on before I post it :) I agree with you on that, the screen off animation is apart of the new feel for Gingerbread that I cannot leave out.

MD5 Question -

I've DL'd it 4x, and ofr what ever reason the MD5 always comes back as: B6D94C5F7EEC4BEF36EC46D70D8AA39D, leaving off the "1" at the end of what you have listed. :eek:

I've used the reader many many times before and just wanted to verify before I flash it.

Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SDracis:
Hey guys, just wanted to let y'all know im still around working hard to get the gingerbread version going for everyone. Work has been tough and a couple personal things had come up. I also wanted to let those who have been looking at the X2 know that I have also purchased one and will be working on an Asylum ROM for that as well once we get a recovery for it. Right now my priority for ROMs is to get the Thunderbolt gingerbread Asylum going though, preliminary build is looking good, everything is running smooth but trying to get the screen off animation for y'all. If wanted I can upload the build now so y'all can check it out and let me know if you find any bugs. Once again sorry about the slow response but being the only one working on the ROM and working 80+ hours a week its difficult to find time to sit down and get into detail on the ROM.

Also, regarding the MD5 Sum problem, let me look into it once I get off work today, I could have possibly made a slight typo and added a 1. I have a short day at work today so hopefully I can get this going for everyone :).

[Thunderbolt Android Development] halffrozen:
DL'd yesterday, worked fine for me.

Best ROM I have used thus far!

One thing though, the font.

How do I change it, and where are some fonts located? ( I am new to this stuff )

One other thing, My battery icon/percentage does NOT work, have to reboot my phone for it to read its actual percentage.

thanks!!!!!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] akay56:
is there any kernel which helps with battery life. I don't necessarily want a custom rom. any kernel which helps with battery life I would be interested. my rooted stock v.10c is running out of juice rather quickly and I am not yet using heavily. I am not too much into gaming or multimedia. 3g has to be on; as in my area 2g signal is worse than 3g.... go figure.

thanks

[Xoom General] subminimal:
I've kept up on the price of the Xoom for the last few weeks since buying mine at Best Buy. I originally purchased one that had original packaging/film but was a returned item for $539. Unfortunately it started to collect dust under the screen so I took it back and exchanged for a brand new one. Best Buy matched the prices I found at Sams Club and Nebraska Furniture Mart. Both have the Xoom currently listed at $579.

If you're looking to buy, perhaps this will help save a few $.

is there an app for playing .swf games on a t-mobile g1 running android 1.6 if so could give me a download link.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgrooman:
With a fully rooted TB running a custimzed Rom (currently BAMF 1.6 remix), will I still be able to use the built in mobile hotspot function without having to select and pay for a tethering plan once vz changes on the 15th?

I noticed while I was running the Perfect Storm rom that I didn't get any warnings/notifications about the hotspot data usage when I started the app, but on stock and BAMF those warnings pop up...

Anyone know how thats going to work?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyfingers:
No, it absolutely will not work. Unless you pay for it!!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgrooman:
Surely there has to be someway to make it work. I just came from an AT&T Inspire and once I had it rooted with a custom rom it was able to work, even though initially the sim lock prevented the app from even opening if the account didnt have a tethering plan activated.

I beg a developer or anyone that knows how to give a look at how we can do the same thing for the TB.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
I am guessing you didn't know what application you were using for tethering, because it sure wasn't the built in one that comes standard with the phone. You're obviously not the first person to ask this and there's plenty of solutions. Google is your friend. :rolleyes:
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Turd Furguson:
You may not be able to use built in mobile hotspot, but there are other applications out there. Barnacle being one of them.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgrooman:
It absolutely was the mobile hotspot that was built in - or came standard, that worked on the Inspire after a root, unlock, and custom rom. Im aware of other third party apps, such as Wireless Tether, but I prefer the mobile hotspot app because of its functionality and the fact its already there.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
It might have been the same "application" as far as you knew, but it might have just been a thin wrapper for something doing the same process as wireless tether for root or barnacle since you were using a custom rom. Unless you want to go and dissemble the code for the apk you are talking about, you really dont know.

You're also comparing apples and oranges. Ignore the fact the thunderbolt has a sim card in it because it's not used like a typical sim card on a GSM phone. The sim card might handle updates and such like any other GSM card, but you cant do much else with it. The phone has an ESN # still and that trumps it as well since you cant just take the phone anywhere network wise. The phone is still tied to a CDMA network more than anything else so you cant think something like a simple sim hack will work for it. It might be using the current GSM standard for 4g, but when it's out of range or on voice, it's using CDMA.

There are reasons why programs like barnacle and wireless tether exist and we're not all using a slightly modded, but more or less the same apk that comes with the phone. The best way for you to to figure out why since a simple "no, it cant be done" doesnt work is to try it yourself.

The problem when I had went back to 1.6 was that it would not install correctly via flashtool. I had to use the old non-gui flashtool to get back correctly. I think it's included in the above link. Otherwise you can probably go into J's CM7 thread and download the baseband 52 in his mirror/fileserve account. Just put the files into the firmware folder, replacing the baseband files and you should be good.
[XPERIA X10 General] tristinian:
Would this be the same process on a Rogers phone? Or would the SI numbers be different?

Different numbers, but same process. There is a thread with all the SI and CDA numbers.

Been running Reflex S v1.9.5 Gingerbread 2.3.3, and the autokiller seems very strict (running with hidden apps 200 mb)

Here is a deodexed version of Gene Poole's Liberated Aria 2.2.2 ROM. It has a2sd enabled but you will need to flash dark tremor apps2sd. Boot time will be SLOW because it is deodexed. It should install with just a cache and dalvik wipe if you are already on the 2.2.2 rom. Trackpad Wake works!! I used this kernel http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=995755

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17731386/hfr003ddxa2sdtp.zip

Wipe caches - flash Rom - flash dark tremor - flash kernel

All credit goes to Gene Poole for this awesome rom and dsixda for his awesome rom kitchen.

UOT Kitchen themes work. Use amend scripting.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DanGeorges:
I may have seen this in the original Liberated FR00x thread, but what are the advantages/disadvantages of a deodexed version?

Dan
[HTC Aria Android Development] jdwhite87:
As far as I know the only advantage of a deodexed rom is for themeing purposes.
[HTC Aria Android Development] bunky213:
Cool, thanks for doing this!
[HTC Aria Android Development] bigfoot7375:
Thank you very much on this!
[HTC Aria Android Development] jdwhite87:
:confused: I added the modified boot.img and it won't go past the HTC screen. It didn't loop or anything. Just sat there for 20 minutes until I gave up.

EDIT: face meet palm. I forgot to fash DT. :D
[HTC Aria Android Development] DanGeorges:
Thanks JD
[HTC Aria Android Development] jdwhite87:
Updated OP. ROM now supports dark tremor a2sd.

Removing the at&t in the status bar is next. I just need to know how to recompress an apk after modding it.... That's if, I have indeed, found the culprit.

Edit: I believe the culprit is HTC_transient_notification.xml in stk.apk if someone wants to take a crack at it. Or at least tell me how you edit .xml's in ubuntu...
[HTC Aria Android Development] drumist:
You can open them with any text editor. It's just text.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Gene Poole:
They use some sort of binary encoding when packed into an apk. You need to use the apktool to un-compress the apk properly, but then you lose the signature and depending on what the file's role is in the overall scheme of things, it may not work properly with just any signature.

Thanks, jdwhite87, for tracking it down to that apk. I'll take a look at it.
[HTC Aria Android Development] bigfoot7375:
This rom is great!

Just need to figure out how to enable the Trackpad Wake
[HTC Aria Android Development] jdwhite87:
Updated OP because I finally got around to testing the theme kitchen. I just did a quick battery mod but it did work. Use amend scripting.

Also... trackpad wake is a little above my skill level right now. I'll look into it though.
[HTC Aria Android Development] jdwhite87:
Hmmm... spoke to soon on that one. Updated OP again with trackpad wake!
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
Wow! Nice job
[HTC Aria Android Development] kazerak2:
Correct me if I'm wrong but, since this is a deodexed ROM is it now possible to delete or rename the "htclockscreen.apk" file in root explorer to then allow use for the default vanilla lock screen? like seen in a CM ROM.

Like seen in this thread here, I have tried doing like the original post says with no luck.
[HTC Aria Android Development] jdwhite87:
Have you tried just deleting htclockscreen.apk from the zip? I don't see why you couldn't do that. But to answer your question... I really don't know.
[HTC Aria Android Development] bigfoot7375:
Great Job, Man!

I'll try it later today... :D
[HTC Aria Android Development] Gene Poole:
Can I ask what you did to enable it? I've been fighting with that for weeks.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
According to the OP, he used jznomoney's kernel.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
The trackpad wake was stopping me from using this ROM. Did drowning make any kernals for 2.2.2?
[HTC Aria Android Development] jdwhite87:
I wrote it in your thread. Guess I forgot to write it here too. I just replaced the files in system/usr/keylayout with the ones from fr008. Not sure which one of those actually enables it though. It wouldn't work with the kernel included in the rom. I had jznomoney's kernel handy so I used it.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Gene Poole:
Thanks. I've updated the liberated_2.2.2 thread to include a patch. Should work with yours too so you don't need to post a complete ROM.
[HTC Aria Android Development] supetawesomedude:
I cleared cache and dalvik and then I flashed the ROM and then I flahsed the kernel included. I didnt flash DT because I don't want to. But when I pressed reboot, it never booted. I waited for ten minutes then I went back to recovery and restored to the odex rom. Any help?
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
One thing to try when moving between a CM ROM and a HTC Sense ROM is to do a wipe data/system reset in addition to wiping cache and dalvik cache.

Also the first time you boot a deodexed ROM, it will take longer than and 10 minutes is not unheard of for an initial boot.
[HTC Aria Android Development] jdwhite87:
You have to flash dark tremor as of right now. Ill fix that tomorrow. As of right now you need to flash this after the rom and kernel if you don't want to use a2sd http://db.tt/quBTnf0
[HTC Aria Android Development] supetawesomedude:
I'm coming from the Odex version of this same ROM.
[HTC Aria Android Development] supetawesomedude:
No luck...

Well, I just cleared both caches, flashed rom, flashed the link you provided, and the kernel. Waited fifteen minutes, no change and now i am going back to the ODEX version...again -___-. Lol. Anyway, is there anything im doing wrong? I have used a DEOX ROM before and never had problems....
[HTC Aria Android Development] jdwhite87:
:( sorry it took me so long to reply but I really don't know... that boot.img was made by someone else and I never got a chance to test it. But the theme kitchen supports odex roms now so this is really pointless. Unless someone wants to make a blue version ;)

Okay, so I'm running CM7 on my g2, but I got tired of it pretty quickly. I themed it with xmod to have something new to look at. I then backed it up, then proceeded to spoof a tablet on my phone. However, I didn't have the original cm7 zip on my sd card to return the theme to stock. I thought id just flash a different theme over the xmod skin, which didn't exactly work. My end result was a honeycomb themed cm7 with xmod gapps and transitions, which was actually really really nice. However, the font color remained white after I flashed the new theme, and now I can barely see what I'm typing. Any idea on how to change the font color back to black?
[EVO 4G General] bash78:
not sure if this has been posted:

http://pocketnow.com/android/wireless-tether-app-for-android-gets-banned-by-carriers

In Android, there are several different ways to tether, both officially (through an app that comes on the device for which you must pay to use), and unofficially (on unlocked and rooted devices). The carriers obviously want you to pay a monthly tethering fee, which often comes in at around $20 for 2GB. For years, this has been protested by some subscribers who contend that since they're already paying for a data plan, it should be up to them, and not the carrier, to determine how the data is used.

Many recent smartphones come with a carrier-sanctioned Mobile Hotspot app that only works if you've paid that extra fee to add tethering to your data plan. If your device is unlocked or rooted, you can use the built-in tethering function found in Android 2.2 and 2.3 settings. More commonly, rooted users use the free Wireless Tether app for Android, which does a great job at sharing your device's connection with a variety of devices.

The days of the Wireless Tether app might over, though. Carriers have begun blocking the app, even if you're rooted. We've checked for the app on a Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint device, and it's not available on the former two. However, on an unlocked Sony Ericsson device without a SIM card, the app is available. After inserting an AT&T SIM card into the phone, the app disappears.
[EVO 4G General] rushco:
Short version below.

"Only Sprint has decided against banning such apps."
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
Don't you have to he rooted to use the app? And, if you're rooted and running 2.2+ isn't native tethering available? Seems like a moot point to block the app... go sprint btw, they really seem to be embracing android and this whole phone freedom philosophy with this and their unofficial policy on rooted phones.

If there is a way to lock it, there is a way to unlock it.

What would stop someone from side loading the app? There are places other than the almighty android market to procure such tethering apps. AT&T likes to block side loading, but I thought you could just use ADB to push files anyways.

Regardless of workarounds, at the end of the day it is the idea behind the 'restrictions.' Or attempted ones, at that. It's the principle. It's the evil, at it's base, regardless of avoidance.
[EVO 4G General] wfrandy:
In the case of ATT, they remove the option from settings to allow apps from unknown sources. So you cannot side load apps unless you root the phone.
[EVO 4G General] AbsolutZeroGI:
Just a thought.

Would you rather have throttled data after so many gigs and free tethering, or paid tethering and never throttle?

I'd pick throttle after so many gigs.
[EVO 4G General] tmwilsoniv:
I believe this to be a false choice.

From June through September of 2010, I self-righteously scoffed at those who "Tethered for free" using any of the workarounds to Sprint's $30.00/month Hotspot. I paid the $30,00 each month while naively waiting for Sprint to fix the 50% through-speed issue.

The open CTMS ticket xxxxxxxx-100817, to address the throttled through-speeds has become a long running joke.

I would indeed love the option to purchase an unthrottled, tethered 4G connection for my laptop, but I will not pay for something that Sprint and Clear have no intention of delivering.

The way I see it is I pay for 4G on Sprint's network, however I do not have 4G in my area, I don't complain about that, so why is sprint complaining? are they saying were ripping them off.. because we use a free app to get service we already pay for? :confused:
