[Motorola Droid X2] Saint Isaiah:
Ok so totally reviving my dead topic lol...

First off, I apologize to everyone who has been waiting patiently for some sort of update on this ROM. I enjoyed the challenge of constructing it, and really wanted to expand on it's capabilities.

Back in September I explained how my phone got dropped and destroyed, and that I was waiting on my friend to get his bionic so I can get his Droid X2. He wanted me to buy the phone off of him and I didn't have the money, so I never got it.

In October I got my upgrade available from Verizon, but I couldn't resist and got a Bionic for myself, and I have to say it's an absolutely awesome phone. However, I did make a statement to you all that the Affinity ROM would continue being developed and I will be keeping that promise.

My dad currently has a Droid X2, but because it's too complicated for him to use, I opened up a 4th line on my family plan so I could get him the iPhone 4s and get the X2 back from him.

Now for any of you wondering why in the hell he would want an iPhone over Android (which I hope isn't a lot of you), go easy on him. He's getting older and in addition to not being technically literate, he has a lot of app purchases on iTunes for his iPod Touch that he really wants to use on the go.

So he'll get his phone on Christmas and on January 3rd, Affinity ROM will be back in Development for the X2 and the Bionic. However, all future versions will be Gingerbread based.

Again, my apologies for all of the delays. I hope you all have a very fun and safe Christmas and New Years.
[Motorola Droid X2] Mr_GreenJeans:
maybe you would be interested in taking affinity in a aosp direction?

[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
+1 sure wouldn't mind a blur based update to play with but I +1 that suggestion
[Motorola Droid X2] Saint Isaiah:
Yeah that's the idea I'm having. One version blur and the other version aosp.
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
I'll probably get shunned for even suggesting a blurbased rom like a gb affinity but I figure it would come quick compared to a aosp which would take much more time considering you have to make it work with 2nd init.

Just glad to have another dev on our X2 :) Selection is always nice ;)

Welcome back!
[Motorola Droid X2] Saint Isaiah:
Yeah I'm gonna spend the next week really looking into the 2nd-init framework to better understand it. But as far as a blur based ROM, I don't think it's a big deal to offer it. There are blur aspects I really enjoy the aesthetics of but of course the AOSP definitely has the advantage for speed and reliability. If I cook the right scripts and init.d hacks into the ROMS, the blur version should still be pretty satisfying.
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
i cant wait to see what you cook up! thanks for supporting our bastard son of a phone, dx2
[Motorola Droid X2] rp076:
+++++1 indeed! :D
[Motorola Droid X2] Saint Isaiah:
Alright guys so I have an X2 again.

I will be making a blur and blur-free version of the rom.

I think that since the first release of the Affinity GB ROM will be blur-based, I'm thinking something big for it is necessary. Cooked in scripts, complete bloat removal, etc...

Oh yeah...how about a port of the 3D blur launcher, lockscreen and contacts pull down widget from the bionic? :)
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
That bionic blur sounds cool. It would be nice for something new to play with like that. I have never seen blur outside of the x2 but I hear its better. The blur free rom....you gonna try a aosp rom with second init?

If you need any testing done at some point PM me ill be game.
[Motorola Droid X2] Saint Isaiah:
Yeah 3d blur is pretty nice. I flashed my bionic back to stock and even with it unrooted and completely bloated, performance is amazing. So with a debloated and optimized X2 running 3d blur, the results should be similar.

And yeah, for the full AOSP version, I will be using 2nd-init. Once I get a base for that working, I will get it out for testing and release a daily or weekly build that can be flashed over the top to address bugs and add features.
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
Sounds awesome. I am looking forward to being a guinea pig :D
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
U have no idea how ecstatic people will be to have that 3d blur...seriously...
[Motorola Droid X2] Saint Isaiah:
I have read so many topics requesting it and at this point it just needs to be done.
[Motorola Droid X2] Sandso9:
Wow can't wait to see your work ! Hopefully ill see something before my upgrade comes :)
[Motorola Droid X2] rp076:
+1...really looking forward to it ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] T3HBR1AN:
Nomnom. I liked the Blur on the Bionic.

Sent from my Eclipsed and ICS themed X2.
[Motorola Droid X2] Saint Isaiah:
Dude why did you eat it?!?!? Spit it out so I can port it!!!

By the way, there was a batch file package I used in the past to decompile apks and I cant remember the name (it was like ultimate or xultimate or something).

Anyone that knows what it is and can pm me the link to it?
[Motorola Droid X2] aceoyame:
I think apktool does batch decompiles with the right flags.
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
sir, hows the progress goin?

i cant wait for this to be released, the blur or the aosp version

if you need testers ill be willing to do it
[Motorola Droid X2] Saint Isaiah:
As stated on page 16, development will resume on January 3rd.

I will make a new topic once the blur version is done and a beta topic for AOSP when I have the first experimental build ready.
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
ohh, sorry sir, i didnt see that, well im honestly excited!

Hi

What is the fastest aosp gingerbread rom?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] howdid:
Oxygen
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eatmold:
What he said .... Oxygen ... hands down!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Guys I've only tried CyanogenMod so far, can you tell me how Oxygen is superior please?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
Faster because it is almost stock Android and no additional hacks like in CM7 + Needs less space on system partition (because of no added apps).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Cheers for the reply, I assume to take advantage of that extra space I need to s-off and use custom hboot right?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shankly1985:
I only used MIUI aosp RoM its very fast and smooth
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MihailPro:
CyanogenMOD 7

I used it for 2 months and never have problems with it!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Balu:
GingerVillain, Cyanogenmod
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Cyanogen. In my experience the fastest ROM my phone's ever seen.

or try MIUI if you're looking for a whole new UI experience - it's pretty damn good. Can't bring myself to change it :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
Nah you need not, but if you want the extra space you should.

Also it's down to preferences, but my experience also give the win to oxygen hands down. CM is nice in its own way, but at some points it's just disturbingly complex(yes you get a lot of extra features which is unneeded for me) and many times it stutter at some user-interactions, where oxygen just feels more solid as well as minimal to me.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickbosch:
Redux 1.2. No word of a lie.

HTC Desire, Redux 1.2, S-OFF, CM7 HBOOT.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bubu.:
Tried the latest CM7 but it was rather 'sluggish'... Now tried Redux 1.2 and it's really really nice. DIdn't try Oxygen, perhaps I'll do it when I have some time, but not right now!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redist:
For me Oxygenrom offers the best performance. Battery life is also quite good:D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickbosch:
So I've been running Oxygen 2.2 then 2.2.1 and now I'm on the Redux2 snapshot. Still hard to choose between them. But because it's complete, I would change my suggestion to Oxygen.

PHONE: HTC Desire GSM, S-OFF

ROM: Redux2 Snapshot 18082011

RADIO: 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2

KERNEL: thalamus 2.6.35.14_r1
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaa:
Oxygen is the best since it is minimal so that you can add many things accordingly to your needs.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Whats best is subjective. Whats fastest depends on how you use your phone. The fastest ROM I have tried is Redux 1.2

Also, just because something is close to stock doesn't automatically mean its going to be faster.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedmarcus:
Fastest and best aosp I've found is GingerVillain 2.8

All the benefits of CM7 but with the added tweaks from Richard Trip.

(Found the home screens were a little sluggish when going from one to another when I first started using it, but then added Launcher Pro to it and now it flies!)
[HTC Sensation] eXceed:
Noticed that there weren't any tools which rooted the Sensation and overclocked for the Mac platform, so just made a simple .command file based on the work of the Devs on here.

Special thanks goes out to teamwin and Utking;

with thanks to eugene373, idanfima, coolbho3000 and wisefire (sorry if I have forgotten any!!)

Pre-requisites

- USB debugging enabled and usb connection set to charge only.

- S-ON

- A Mac OS computer

- more importantly a HTC Sensation (any model)

Instructions

Step 1. Unzip TempRoot.zip to your Documents folder (it should be "/Documents/TempRoot"), if you want to overclock skip to step 3 otherwise follow step 2 to run root without overclock. MAKE SURE YOU RENAME YOUR FOLDER TO "TempRoot" - I will fix this shortly!!.

Step 2. Restart your device.

Step 3. Run the Fr3voMacSTART.command file.

Step 4. Copy the correct kernel file for your kernel into the TempRoot directory and press enter.

Step 5. Now your device should be rooted and overclocked!

Step 6. Profit.

[HTC Sensation] tw33k8opr0of:
I don't think it works, and i tried all sorts of things to make it work, wish i could tell you why so as to help you better, thank you for trying to show us mac users some love though.
[HTC Sensation] eXceed:
Thanks for your reply, sorry but could you be more specific as in it won't root or it won't overclock?

EDIT - should work now, please give me feedback. Tested working fine at 1.8ghz on my HTC sensation :).
[HTC Sensation] tw33k8opr0of:
Well at first I just double clicked it to launch it and I said permissions were wrong, so I had to chmod it so I could make it an executable and then after every line it file not found so no root or overclock.
[HTC Sensation] eXceed:
could you try the updated script in the op please :). need to save the dir to documents/temproot just for consistency :).
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Same problem i got with my mac root, if only i had a mac myself :)

Sent from my overclock'ed Sensation
[HTC Sensation] jackolus:
Thank you soooo much for this tool but please can you straight the instructions ?

1) in the file TempRoot / Drag the overclock module here - we put path to proper OC module (?)

2) we click command at one of the folders

that's it ?!

I seriously don't get it at all.

Why drag OC module to text file which isn't mentioned at the command lines ?
[HTC Sensation] eXceed:
Will do, updating first post as we speak :).
[HTC Sensation] stevejau:
no matter what I try I always get permissions error,even as admin.
[HTC Sensation] tw33k8opr0of:
ok so i tried the new script and nothing it doesn't work, it seems to have a problem when it gets to the insomod portion of the code
[HTC Sensation] tw33k8opr0of:
This is what i get during the command........

Script is working but doesn't bring any effects. On 1.8ghz quadrant score is still 2100

I think problem is caused by unable load busybox - it's the only fail in terminal

EDIT:

OK I modified code a little and worked - at 1728mhz my Linpack max score is 89.96 but quadrant go nuts and benchmark takes forever !

There's some problems with performance becouse at heavy stress setcpu backs to 1128mhz automatically.

I will test it how battery handle, I wish it would be better becouse of scaling

Thanks for this thread

Ah brilliant, care to share what code you modified to get it to work? I've spent all this morning trying to get overclock to work all the time...

I get SU no problem.

everything was working fine but before it can finish my phone freezes and shuts off, during the waiting for kernel to update part
[HTC Sensation] eXceed:
you are trying to use an overclock to high for your phone :(... try again at a higher voltage or lower frequency!
[HTC Sensation] tw33k8opr0of:
thats impossible if i have had my phone at 1.8 using the windows method for over a week i just wanted to try the mac method so if my phone would freeze like it did once before i didn't have to borrow my sisters laptop, I've tried all of the over clocks and my phone works fine on all of them, but for some reason it doesn't work with this method for mac, i thought it could be that my phone couldn't handle it and i went to try it on my sisters computer and it worked fine on windows about 10 minutes ago.
[HTC Sensation] eXceed:
Updated first post. I made a mess in the command with regards to where files are located so please MAKE SURE YOU RENAME YOUR FOLDER TO "TempRoot" - I will fix this shortly!!

[HTC Sensation] teflon252:
thanks for the effort :( but the script is still faulty....no such files...etc....why do u have adb in your script?...never noticed it in the other mac script

MAKE SURE YOU RENAME YOUR FOLDER TO "TempRoot", Directory structure should be "/Documents/TempRoot"

I can save my bookmarks from the Gingerbread browser onto my homescreen.

But how can I save Opera Mini bookmark icons onto my homescreen? :)

The mainly reason why I choose Opera Mini over the Gingerbread browser is because text-wrapping on double tap sucks. It's awesome in Opera Mini.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] kryptoner:
You can't do that using opera mini...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gaui:
Are you sure about that?

Yep, because I use opera mini and opera mobile on my phone....never seen such a setting

[Acer Iconia A500] tomlogan1:
Well done. Quite comprehensive.
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
Just want to point out.. the Acer ROM Flasher (not to be confused with Acer Recovery Installer) does not run itmagic.... (yet..) It was made for a very specific purpose and has not been updated since itsmagic came out.

So, If you use Acer ROM Flasher, which will flash boot.img and system.img, make sure you run itsmagic yourself BEFORE flashing the images. I'll update it to include itsmagic when I have time.

Acer Recovery Installer is really the best way to go. Then use Clockworkmod for your backup/restore and custom rom installation.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Thanks for pointing that out. I've updated my OP accordingly.
[Verizon Droid Charge] rushringleader:
Everytime I try to Odin over Humble or GB or anything, the phone will always RX_TIMEOUT error no matter how charged the battery is. I am wondering what the exact steps for Odining with the Charge are. It was never this difficult with the fascinate lol
[Verizon Droid Charge] GreenMunky:
I know there are two different versions of Odin, one optimized for GB (will soft brick your phone if trying to flash a Froyo ROM with it), and the older version for Froyo. Which version number are you using and what are you trying to flash?
[Verizon Droid Charge] rushringleader:
I have 1.83 and 1.3. 1.3 doesn't recognize the Charge so I used 1.83 to attempt to flash Humble 1.4
[Verizon Droid Charge] Falcyn:
1.83 works for all ROMs; completely irrelevant of whether they're Froyo or Gingerbread. The steps are exactly the same as with the Fascinate, too. Do you have the Charge drivers installed? And if so, have you tried using a different USB port?
[Verizon Droid Charge] streetlightman:
For gingerbread I used 1.82 and it worked fine on the first shot. For Froyo I use 1.3. Make sure you have the most up to date samsung drivers and are using the regular USB cable that came with the phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] rushringleader:
I am going to reinstall the sammy drivers since maybe possibly the old Fascinate ones are messing with everything. Also I was using the fascinate USB cable but I will start using the Charge's
[Verizon Droid Charge] hockeybpr25:
i just used odin3 v 1.3 and it worked with pbj w/voodoo and gummyCHARGED
[Verizon Droid Charge] piperat:
Ive used odin1.3 for gb and froyo. Ive switched back and forh a least half a dozen times and never had a problem. Just make sure your battery in and the debugging in settings menu is set to on. With fassy you didnt want the battery in. With the charge ive had better luck with it in. Win its not in sometimes the flash fails.
[Verizon Droid Charge] GreenMunky:
When I used 1.82 it soft bricked my phone. I then tried	1.7 and it went through without a hitch.

Used 1.82 & 1.7 for both Froyo and Gingerbread ROMs, no issues.

Sent from my Droid Charge running Humble 1.42
[Verizon Droid Charge] tysdad08:
Ok I flashed over 100 times with Odin on my fassy and always took the battery out so I know the steps with battery out how do u do it with battery in I need a walk thru on this because with battery out u just plugged in phone, pushed and hold volume down and it went to download mood. How do u do it with the charge with battery in and do u do anything different after its done like boot right in to cwm or anything.
[Verizon Droid Charge] benb1974:
Flashing the charge is the same as fascinate. No extra steps. Once you get the charge into download mode, just pop in the battery

The title says it all. I have stock 2.2 ROM and want to disable 3G connection to save battery life. I know there used to be an option on stock 2.1 to disable 3G (only use 2G) connection.

I tried a few apps from the market that have 2G/3G enable/disable options. However they only take me to the settings page and don't actually do anything.

Any suggestions?
