lots of people ask... how do you port roms... so here you go... I hope now the thread is started the people posting can help each other as I have other projects working on... Maybe someone learning will help me later with my other roms

lot of chatter of people saying that the structure of my rom is from other x10 so for you all to see I give you basic instructions (that I ported and posted first with almost everything working) so here is all the basics on getting a bootable miui rom for beginners.. first download the formels newest release.

then download a stable gingerbread 2.3.3 version that is compatible with the files. ( I always use the great z and j for sources).

the next step is to get the formels rom ready by deleting the boot image and the data folder. Next step is to go to the etc folder and delete firmware folder... also delete ap2sd init script from the init folder)

then go to lib folder and delete hw and modules.

now it is time to add files. I know the miui files pretty good now so the list has shortened greatly.

now use your stable gb rom source to replace the folders I had you delet above

you may have to change other files depending on the rom i.e. bluetooth/dhcpd and others.

to start in the etc folder you need to add

apns-conf

dbus

dualmic

gps

hosts

hw-config

init.bt

init.gold

init.local

mediaprofiles

mke2fs

profile

resolve

sensors

sysctl

vold

now to the lib folder all files start with lib

cm

dll

dsm

dss

gsl

miscta

oem-rapi

pbmilb

qmi

diag

mmgsdilib

nv

onrpc

queue

ril-qc-1

wms

auth

sdi-exp

wmsts

mmipl

oemcamera

mmjpeg

there are other files but I think that is enough to get bootscreen... if not let me know and I will list the other misc ones.

now the bin files

akmd2

am

bmgr

bmiloader

chargemon

charger

compache

eeprom

fixpermisions

gdbserver

handlecompache

hciqcomminit

ime

input

monkey

pm

port-bridge

qmuxd

recevent

svc

sysinit

updatemiscta

wlanmac

wlantool

wmiconfig

Any dev, or semi-dev can start work this.

Hi there.

I had been enjoyed the great work on O2Droid project for Froyo 2.2 Beta. It is really amazing and really working for daily life requirement.

Meanwhile, I tried to get my WIFI connection this morning and found it is no longer connectable to my office and home WIFI. It just keep saying that WIFI AP is not within the connectable area. Regardless how many time I click on its WIFI on/off and tried to recreate the AP profile.

I am wondering I might have triggered something bad during my free trying on the Dev Tools --> Connectivity.

Any suggestion or hints?
[Omnia II General] SrMoure:
I have the same issue. Sometimes rebooting fixes the problem, but usually happens after the phone goes to sleep.

I agree that this version is outstanding.
[Omnia II General] noelablon:
I was able to use the Wifi - once but after I got an error which I wasn't able to read because I was trying to fix the issue why I can't download anything at the market. So after the error there were no succeeding attempt to connect to my wifi -strange???
[Omnia II General] noelablon:
This might help. I've tried installing the fix for the Market which can be found on the first page here. Just download it and install it in your device. It fixed the Market download problem and the WiFi is working great too. :)
[Omnia II General] l3ong91:
I suggest you just wait for the upcoming beta (wi-fi bug has been fixed according to one of the dev member) if you're not expertise in all these stuff.

Be patient mate.
[Omnia II General] shneoh:
Thanks l3ong91,

I raise this up is just to see anybody herein have experience to share. Do noted this might have covered by dev team, but yet tend to learn some thing from this incident.

I myself engineer too, to me this is a good learning chance. ;)

Anyhow, if there are no body have hints to share, then just to wait lor... :cool:

this happened to me yesterday but this is the first time I'm able to post/ask about this....

so I was at the Subway Series yesterday (for those who don't know....Mets-Yankees game) and took some photos during batting practice. I was tweeting the photos then it said network connection lost. It's happened to me before so I didn't think anything of it. Tried about an hour later (still at the game btw) to search something on google and I couldn't connect. I then thought, "probably in a ****ty Sprint area". After I got home where I know sprint is good, tried to use the internet on my phone again, and still wouldn't connect.

Each one of these times it would say "Needs WiFi or 3G connection" it was annoying! anybody else experience this??
[EVO 4G General] smarmytime:

[EVO 4G General] mikel719:

[EVO 4G General] kf2m:
I've had something similar where 3G was acting stupid. Try toggling in, and out of Airplane Mode. It might reset the radio to where you can connect again. If not reboot.
[EVO 4G General] philmota:
Kind of happened to me at the movies. Transformers3 was about to start and I couldn't do anything with my phone until I got out of the theater! It was weird... Like I was being blocked from sending anything or getting online.??

o yea i should also mention that I tried shutting my mobile network off and on but it wouldn't let me lol. it kept saying "Turning On..." even when I tried to shut it off (I was running the Synergy RC1 and was in the quick settings pull down menu....I have switched over to Deck's ROM..I missed my phenomenal battery life lol)

I've never had that happen with 3g but it has happened with the WiFi radio,gets stuck on turning off and the toggle greys out.Rebooting gets it back in order.
[EVO 4G General] cg 112358:
it didn't just happen at the stadium...it also happened at home which is about 25 miles away. and I dunno why I didn't think of rebooting lol. Either way I'm back on a different ROM and it hasn't happened yet....if it does I'll let ya guys know
[EVO 4G General] lovekeiiy:
I have had this at the Oakland Coliseum and and Qaulcam (Jack Murphy) stadium. It's is not unexpected because of what was said above. If it is available, you can try 4G. Usually not as many users.
[EVO 4G General] anthonyandrews:
I am not sure if this is the case or not, but I know that it is possible to have a device installed that blocks cell phone signals. I have heard that in some places, it has been allowed, however I am not certain where it is or is not allowed.

The article linked below, is old, but talks about how some The National Association of Movie Operators was in the process of trying to get it to be exempted from the "Communications Act of 1934, section 333, which makes it illegal to interfere with radio communications"

hey guys.

on my Evo I always used and was very happy with Clockr Evolution. Now I downloaded Clockr from the market and even the biggest font size seems too small. the default launcher doesn't let you stretch the widget. I tried with launcherproplus and the widget stretches, but the words stay the same size.

the other clock I like is TypoClock, but i'm also running into the same situation. not big enough.

what clock are you guys using? I like either big numbers or words, so either Clockr or TypoClock style....

anything you can recommend? thanks!

OK, am I missing something? When I check 'Turn on Bluetooth' in CM7, it says "Turning on...", but never does turn on. It eventually just unchecks the box and once again says 'Turn on Bluetooth.' Does bluetooth not work in CM7, version 7.0.3? (I thought it was supposed to.) Thx for any and all insight!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phatdawg:
Not sure about 7.0.3 but on 7.1 rc, it does, but it depends on the device and I think it looks like there isn't an actual bluetooth antenna so you are limited to anywhere between 1 to 3 feet in regards to distance from the nook itself.

There are signfiicant issues with headsets.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OwnDrummr:
I use a method described elsewhere on one of these threads. When it first says 'turning on', press and hold the 'on' button, as if you're going to do a hard reboot. Should show enabled after that. Now, when I do that, it engages almost immediately. Good luck.

Posted in Evo3D & Sensation Threads...but just as useful for Android users on the HD2 with Sense 3.0 ROMs!

So....whilst awaiting some perma-root goodness, I found myself a nifty way to keep entertained and updated!

First, I created a new Facebook account on a separate e-mail. Then, went around and "Liked" all my favorite tech info sites. (Engadget / SlashGear / HTC / Etc.) Nothing else mind you...who gives a **** what color sally is painting her crafting room.

Once done with all that, I changed my lock-screen to the "Friends Stream" option. Now I've got a great Tech feed I can scroll through on my lockscreen!

Sat here for a good hour and half just catching up on things right in my lockscreen!

Yes, I know...not the most amazing feat ever. Sure does wonders when you're bored and wanna have some eye candy!

Try it out yourself!!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] paulheth:
Have been trying my best to figure this out, but so many steps. Lame I know but...

I've got a Rogers 32A SPL 1.33.0010 SAPP50000 3.22.20.17. After buying it used with a Hero ROM almost a year ago, I managed to flash CM6-FroyoRedux-1.6-32a which worked (great!) for almost a year. Lately it has been getting really flakey with lots of FC and problems connecting to wifi.

So I thought a re-flash of ROM should fix things up. No luck, same problems. Super flakey, lots of FC (even with base install). Does that mean I have a hw problem?

So thought I would try another more up to date ROM. Tried CyanogenCARZ-7.1.0... and Ginger Yosi 1.2.1 and a few other but none would flash properly (Recovery on the phone is ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1 - is that the problem? If so can anyone direct me to easy steps to change this? Found some others but me to dumb, or they to hard to follow b/c no luck. I have done ROM messing about for years, more recently with Dell Streak, but it seemed to be much easier.)

Questions:

- If i can get this far, does it mean my phone is rooted?

- I hear I have a 'Perfect SPL', but if the Hero and the CM6 ROM could be flashed, does that matter?

Where should I go from here?

Thanks for your help, and sorry for being so dumb.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] TheBladeofFate:
Don't worry, it's natural to have questions whwn confronted with such a confusing phone. I would recommend going to the RUU sticky in the development section, and flashing back to stock. If you still gets fcs and the like on stock, it is likely a hardware issue. Otherwise, we can just reroot and flash another custom rom. Let me know how it goes!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
What you need is a simple (full)wipe.

The problem when applying new roms or re-flashing the same rom is that the userdata and cache partitions are not cleaned.

Userdata = all the app and settings you have accumulated through the years.

Cache = as the name says.

When the partitions are not wiped, then complication can and most likely will occur when (re)flashing roms.

So, inside the recovery, chose to wipe all the partition you can find. Then you flash the rom you want. Wait 5-15 min for it to load and you should be good to go.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
Rooted = have SU binaries... my guess = YES you are rooted.

Perfect SPL does not influence rom flashing since you are working from recovery.

If you are flashing from fastboot, then SPL will have a dominant position.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] paulheth:
Looking more like hardware.

Seems it may be a hardware issue? Even with the stock RUU rom from HTC there are still sim recognition and wifi flakiness issues.

Any chance a radio re-flash/update would help?

Second boot in bootmenu could be used for that.. but requieres a vesrsion of android modded to work on sdcard...

main settings are in init.rc files and it should be possible to mount /system and /data from sdcard partitions.

The problems will be related to usb motoportal and mass storage which unmount sdcard
[Defy Android Development] danimagrin:
I think this can be solved by partitioning the sdcard into two partitions, one ext3 for storing system and data images to boot from it and other fat for the user files, so that mass storage will unmount only the second one!

How do they do on the original project, though? There should had been the same problem also...

Running the system from sdcard I think can be a little slow, but it may still usable... Only testing for knowing...
