What happened and how do I proceed to Altered Beast alpha 5 EE4??

Using link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1096657,

I flashed ABeastA3_DXC.tar.md5 successfully using Odin and my phone is now rooted with the AB theme, but the build resulted in ED2.

Details:

Hardware: i1510.06

Model: SCH 1510

Firmware: 2.2.1

Baseband: 1510.06 V.EE4 and SCH-1510.EE1

Kernel: 2.6.32.9 se.infra@SEI-28 #1

Build: SCH-1510.ED2

System is prompting me to do OTA update for EE4
[Verizon Droid Charge] MunkySpunk:
Flash the Altered Beast Alpha V5 via CWM. It's the EE4 version.

I've been using Voodoo-AB5 for the past couple of weeks but just went to Bloated (supposed to be more stable) Gingerbread Gummycharged 1.5 EP1F

AB5 was stable despite being an alpha. You can put Nitro's charge honeycomb theme ontop of AB5 and make it look real slick.

Voodoo-AB5 seemed faster than GB-Gummy (there's no Voodoo for it yet), but GB has some nice stuff like more system tools, options, plus little differences and tweaks here and there - not to mention Netflix.

Don't forget to un-voodoo if you update to a non-voodoo kernel.
[Verizon Droid Charge] lsmagill:
Thanks so much for taking interest in my request as Noob. I have AB alpha now. Will experiment as you suggest

so on the day that pvz became free, i DLed and installed it on my device just to find that it goes to the black screen with the hourglass and kicks me out. anybody else with the sammy NS got it to work? im on a stock 2.3.4 google rom btw

Try reinstalling it works for me.

still no go. something else that i could do?

Mine did that, cleared data and it then worked for me. reinstalling apps sometimes will keep the settings and user data (there is a setting somewhere for it). good luck
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opey:
whats up guys, this seemed the best place to post this since it doesnt pertain to any of the devices listed here. i have the Dynavin Android unit (www .dynavin .com / android.php) in my car and im having an issue that so far it seems only 2 other users have had.

with this unit there are 2 "sides", 2 different computers in one is guess you can say. the am/fm radio, CD/DVD, bluetooth, etc is all completely separate from the android OS side. whats happening to me is ALL sound played on android gets distorted, slow, and staticy. i have reinstalled the firmware numerous times, used different SD cards, i have tried different apps, it happens with music from the SD card and internet music, it even happens with the sounds when u adjust the volume. nobody on our huge thread at e46fanatics can figure it out and only 1 or 2 other people have had the issue.

the weird part is that many times it will play fine for a few minutes and then start to slow down, and even rebooting doesnt help at that point. im thinking maybe it could be overheating, but even with the a/c blasting in the car it happens. and the radio/cd part is completely unaffected.

thoughts?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landwomble:
Wow, that's a sizeable thread!

Looks an interesting device. What troubles me is that it appears to be an intermittent issue. I'd agree that heat could be a culprit, possibly - I'd be tempted to try running it out of the car for an extended period of time and see if that helps.

You could also try OSMonitor or similar and see if you can monitor internal temperature. If the ROM is rooted, you could even try under or overclocking it and see if that helps.

Car audio I can cope with, but Android debugging not so much - you could try doing a logcat (assuming you can hook up via USB) and see if it gives you useful info when it's freezing up.

I have to say, this is screaming out for you to install Torque on it and a bluetooth ODBII scanner...!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opey:
yea its not rooted and the manufacturer doesnt seem to want to help with that, and they cant seem to replicate any of the issues the units are having (including force close loops). as for Torque, problem is that the bluetooth doesnt work with the android part, it only works on the radio part for phone calls or streaming music. its like 2 separate OS's in one unit.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MacConsult:
The Android side of the unit has a hardwired OBD connection available, and the latest units have an OBD software module.

The unit also has USB ports on the back, that talk to the Android side. You can attach a powered USB hub to that to gain more ports. This way you can add a WiFi USB dongle, and even a BT dongle via USB.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MacConsult:
You need to make sure the USB hub is powered independently.

Hi, the other day i flashed 2.3.4 firmware from samfirmware and in the discription on the website it tells u to check repartition and use pit file??

But ive just read on here never to do them 2 things???

Have i messed up my phone in anyway??

If so, is it repairable???

Many thanks
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
Does your phone still boot?

Are you able to get into donwload mode (volume-down + home + power on)?

If you at least can get into download mode, everything should be fine, if even THAT doesn't work anymore you'd have to send it in to Samsung for repair.
[Galaxy S II General] Dave_Kjam:
When I updated to KG1 2.3.4 I've also used the pit file and checked repartition. Until now the SGSII is running great. Don't know however if that will cause some problems to future updates.

Maybe some flashing guru here can clarify us?
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
No you get a problem at boot or none .

jje
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
It can cause problem, and you don't need to in order to flash.

So why take the risk? :)
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
Well if you're new to it, and some places say "do it"....

Fortunately my only source of information when I started with my SGS2 (first Android device ever for me, so total newb!) was xda-dev, had no need to look somewhere else as all the answers were here already :cool:

So I read the "never ever under no circumstances use .pit and/or do repartition" often enough to have it burned into my mind, but I can see others getting confused and not really not sure about what to do when they read at other places "to install this FW, use the .pit file and tick the repart. option"....
[Galaxy S II General] AllanJacques:
Sorry about being too obtuse but what the hell are these .pit?

I just cant figure it out by myself!

Anyway, coming from a nexus one I am still a little lost about everything on samsung universe...
[Galaxy S II General] Dave_Kjam:
No problems at all
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
Partition Information Table

It's used to completely recreate the partitioning layout from scratch on the internal storage of the phone.

AFAIK unfortunately the bootloaders are stored on one of those partitions as well, so if something goes bad and the partitioning is messed up the phone can't find the bootloader and therefor not execute them -> R.I.P.
[Acer Iconia A500] mdeejay:
v.1.0.1:
- Fixed mount USB Drives
- Removed Toshiba File Manager
- Added ES File Explorer
- Other minor fixes & tweaks
v.1.0.0: - http://www.multiupload.com/HBO8ISCD1C
- Initial Release

This ROM features a completely new way of Overclocking and managing screen states.

The History

But before explaining it further, let's talk about previous solutions.

There are several different approaches to archieve "screen-state-scaling".

That means basically that the govenor changes if you turn the screen off and changes back to normal when turning the screen on.

This is mainly used to restrict the amount of CPU usage (the frequency in fact) during screen off. This can lead to a major battery life increase.

The solutions so far were:

App like SetCPU, which change automatically the govenor based on profiles

integrated solutions in the govenor itself

Both these solutions have major problems.

The one with a tuner app is always a little laggy right after turning on the screen because SetCPU (or any other CPU tuner) needs some time to change the govenors (up to 7 seconds). This leads mostly to major lag in the lockscreen.

The second solution is the smartass govenor. It has already a screen-state-scaling included, so it reduces the frequency when the screen turn off.

This could be a really nice solution but it has some problems too.

Smartass most of the time is not really stable and has problems with its frequency scaling.

State-of-the-art-solution

So we (more precisely rmk40) thought of a better solution.

He wrote a native C Daemon which changes the govenors

instantly without any lag.

This leads to

major performance improvements

right after turning on the screen and in the lockscreen.

But at the moment this solution is a little bit harder to configure. We are plaing to make a GUI for this, so you get the same comfort as using SetCPU.

Nevertheless you can even now adjust the daemon to your needs.

Be aware that the daemon only works if all CPU tuner apps are deinstalled. Otherwise it deactivates itself.

The daemon is configured with 6 files in the folder /system/etc/virtuous_oc/.

There are 3 files for the wake state and 3 for the sleep state. For each state one file for the govenor, one for the minimal frequency and one for the maximal frequency.

You can easily edit these files eg. with RootExplorer or any other app which can edit system files. So you can adjust the frequencies and the govenor for each state just like with SetCPU.

In order to get the available frequencies for the current kernel, just open your favorite terminal app and type

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies

You could also use adb shell to show the frequencies on your computer.

To get the available govenors use a similar approach:

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors

Please make sure, you are entering the right values in the daemon's config files.

[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
deejay, not to question your motives, nor your talent, because you churn out more ROMS than any other dev on the A500 forums, but whatever possessed you to port the Thrive over to the A500?!?!?

I had this tablet for three days last week before taking it back for a full refund.

The initial build had the "infamous" sleep bug built in right from the factory. Toshiba was aware of it, and as of last week were supposedly working hard to correct it.

It has a very nice stock video player in it, but other than that, IMHO the rom was horrid!

Knowing you, you've probably already worked the sleep bug out of it, even though the devs at Toshiba couldn't lol! ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] MJ-12:
Wow! That was quick :)

Will be havin' a go on this :)

[Acer Iconia A500] flipper2006:
How come no other responses? This is either brand spankin new or after they run it it killed everyone!

PS. Just got home and found 1.1.1 of Xoom at 4% (from 85%) last night. It said Android took 54% and 19 hours of the battery.
[Acer Iconia A500] mdeejay:
no sleep bug here.

works fine. and very fast

i love sound & srs
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
lol You might want to give Toshiba a call, and give them some help then! :D
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
d/l now. I'll let you know how it compares to the actual ROM the thrive came with in a bit ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] The Odom Project:
im a little confused though- aside from an equalizer, what does this have to offer? And what are the possibilities of a super rom? As in all of the best features of all of your Roms in one?
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
1st little bug, stock file explorer doesn't see the external sd card. Notification in the lower right tray shows up as "sd card inserted", but the icons at the top of the stock file explorer do not respond to the external sd card. root explorer finds it in "storage" just fine though.

;)

Have to format, wipe and reinstall with my "browser.apk" so I don't have to keep setting ua string.

bbl with more after re-install. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
Ok here we go. Video playback on YouTube is the best so far on any ROM. All audio levels are great. I injected the browser.apk from your VP ROM, and no longer have to worry about UA string.

USB drive does not work at all. No notification, can't even see it in root explorer. The notification in tray for SD card states "SD Card Inserted", but when trying to view it in the stock file explorer, when you click on the SD card Icon (upper left), you get error "SD Card is not inserted", even though notification icon shows as being inserted. I can however go into Root Explorer, and R/W the sd card under "storage".

Going to play some more, just wanted to give you the few major bugs thus far. Great job on the first port! ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] flipper2006:

I'm not an expert, but I'm guessing that isn't very likely until source for Honeycomb is available (or ICS, as it may be by then)
[Acer Iconia A500] Crsdr37:
Music keeps ghost playing from Toshiba music app. Also storage space is way off. Says I have almost 8gb of app but still have 12gb free???
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
Lol mine says "Total Space 14.91Gb"...."Available 22.75Gb"

Apparently I have more than 10Gb Available than the total space of the drive! :eek:

I wouldn't worry about the initial bugs, as deejay will have them ironed out pretty quick. I'll have to say that this is the best initial release you've put out so far, or anyone else for that matter! +100,000 ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
More CrAzInEsS! Went into my external SD card to copy my gps.conf file for my country over to the etc directory, opened it up as text, and it appears blank (nothing at all in the file). When I bring that same file back to my laptop and open it, I has all the information in it that should be there.

While I'm no DEV, there is clearly something wonky (technical term few of you will understand lol) about the way this ROM is reading, or failing to read the SD card.
[Acer Iconia A500] robotsforeveryone:
I can't wait to see this rom grow. I could really use that cool galaxy clock and weather widget. I'm also missing the screen shot button which was really nifty. Keyboard is really laggy for me.

Nice initial release. Can't wait for more.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Oh my gosh! You know you've posted in one thread entirely too many times when people start emailing me thinking, it's my ROM! Deejay! Get your butt in here, and make an update please?!? :eek: lol

Some Slite Problems

I cant access my SDCARD anymore when I'm linked up to my PC Even tried a total re flash same thing. Also this is my own self inflected problem I just need input to see if I did this wrong.

I added the browser apk from VP and I added the patch for the netflix into the ROM.When I did the flash it found the update and installed it but after the flash was done it keeps prompting me for the update file and wouldn't find it on my SD card.Is that a wrong way to do this. I cant seem to get the file moved into the system lib folder I even reset permissions and still no go that is why I tried to add it to the Rom. I'm just experimenting but really don't want to frick up mu tablet...:rolleyes:

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] ESCO303:
I didnt know about this awesome tip.

I didn't know this was possible. This sounds awesome! Do you just add the lib files for the desired app from the ROM of its origin into the zipped file for the new ROM or do you need to unzip and then ''inject'' and re-zip it?
[Acer Iconia A500] mantrajt:
I just flashed this rom. To give it a try, everything feeling good so far. I applied the sound patch but I'm still getting kind of a muffled sound....

Any ideas...some settings...I've already tried out some adjustments with no luck..

Also I feel the screen a little washed out.

Thx

[Acer Iconia A500] :
No.

Let's say you want NFS Shift in this ROM for example (among other apps).

Open the ROM that has NFS Shift with winrar (don't extraxt the entire ROM).

In winrar navigate to the system/app/Nfs.apk. Extract that file only.

Then navigate to system/lib and extract libnfsshift.so and extract it.

Then open up the Virtuous Thrive ROM in winrar. Navigate to system/app.

Click the "add" button. Locate the nfs.apk that you just extracted, and add it to the ROM.

Then navigate to system/lib and add the libnfsshift.so file to the ROM.

If you want the browser that has desktop mode in it without having to add the UAString, merely extract the browser.apk from the system/app directory of the ROM that has it in the system/app directory (no lib files needed for the browser), and add it to the system/app directory of the Thrive ROM. You can do this with "most", not all apps that you want on your ROM. Then do a complete system wipe and format.

Thank to "UnicornKaz" for the complete directions below ;)

'Before installing:

Boot into CWM

1/wipe cache

2/wipe data/factory reset

Advanced Menu:

3/wipe dalvik

4/wipe battery stat

Mount and Storage Menu

5/format (system, data, cache )... leave SD card alone.

install the zip ( new rom ) file !

Once done installing... repeat steps #1 - #4 only ( this is to assured that you are cleaned 110% in regard to the NEW rom that you have just installed )

DO NOT DO THE STEP #5 AFTER THE INSTALLATION !

Reboot system into initial Android greeting screen."

Then install your customized Thrive ROM. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Not sure you can add a patch for Netflix into the ROM prior to install, unless you put the necessary lib files in their correct place as well. Take your Netflix patch out, install the ROM after a complete wipe and "format" , install the Netflix after you flash the ROM. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
There are a couple minor issues that need addressing by the "master chef" if you'd be so kind as to read through the thread? I've been trying to keep up while you were gone, but there are some minor issues that only the "chef" can address. TY! And welcome back lol ;)

I think DJ likes it gives him more time to do his thing.

And you are pretty available.:p

And since I have your attention. :confused:

I read your post about how you put apps into the ROM but when you said about taking them from another ROM you had to match the lib file but I didn't think it would be the same with a app from the market.

I really don't know much about all of this but I will learn.

Trying to add the netflix patch messed me up.:mad:

It looked like it was going to work but after the flash it kept prompting me to install the patch but couldn't find what it was looking for. And it wouldn't let me back out so i just restarted and it just went into a loop.

So I installed the untouched one except for the browser apk i added.

And with the browser apk from AP i don't load a lib file for that is that wrong?:eek:
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Good job, but if you did indeed read my post above, you'd notice that it clearly said that no lib file needed to be added for the browser. ;)

EDIT: even when you install an app from the market, when they install they usually install a lib file as well ;)

[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
virtuous thrive so far:

A few really nice touches like the media player, start place and book shelf. Fluid and smooth but mp4 HD 1080p playback struggled slightly. A few missed frames on Bourne unltimatum video. Galaxy handles this flawlessly. Will check battery life on this rom but my wifi signal is definitely stronger using this rom. Visually its as vanilla as one can get even Widgets are to a minimum. However installed Asus weather (must have) and the live water wallpaper so I am happy. Will use for a few while awaiting unity v8 for galaxy and v1.0.6
[Acer Iconia A500] :
It't the most stable ROM out bro, and it only took deejay 2 iterations to get it this solid. Like I said, no fluff, no eyecandy, but the most stable ROM out to date ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] flipper2006:
one small bug i think i found. if your in marketplace and it says there is a bunch of updates, you click on the updates (all) and in the middle of the download the screen goes blank the update kind of stops in never never land once the screen comes back 1 ssecond later, but when you go to resume, you cant because its kind of stuck and requires canceling the installation of the apk (it says installing, but it really didnt even download yet). I noticed this all 3 times when there was several items to update.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
I've had that happen in stock ROM as well. The answer is to update one app at a time lol ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] splatoid:
The only thing I dont like about this rom is no External sd card on my PC.

I may go back to the xoom. But not sure yet.
