Discovery

You found the line and changed it in build.prop. didn't add a new line right? B/c the system oft will accept the first value. Many ppl add lines, but if there is already a line in build.prop... Just making sure you were careful about that. Editing and reboot activated mine. If you added a line for it; delete the line you added, go find the line already in the .prop and change the zero to a one. I think there were three lines Tera Tike mentioned that were already in the .prop and that was one of the three.

I screwed up my working rom; so, I too flashed back to this zip. 2 hrs 17 mins later found and fixed problem. Should be able to cook fm radio & wifi hotspot modded stock tomorrow. If I have time, I will also try to get the social networks/friend stream thing fixed as well.

Regards,

Rob
[HTC Wildfire S] Tera Tike:
@ScottPomroy instead of changing the "ro.wifi.hotspotUI = 0" line, remove it completely from the build.prop file. That will be the same as changing it to "1".

Then reboot the phone into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik.

carrier customization codind

The answer I found was editing the default.xml nesled down in the msn customization folder. Virgin not only disabled it but hid it as well [by default. I got the wifi hotspot working quick; this file blocked the icon from showing [all the time] and the settings view would be rehidden upon factory reset [which is why I had trouble cooking it in]. Removed those 8-10 lines and factory resetted, bingo. That was it. So the app was there, it was enabled in build.prop but probably hidden. Those tricky rascals... Anyway, fixed.

Rob
[HTC Wildfire S] Tera Tike:
Yes, there are very tricky... Great work!

I have attached a file which you can look over about what can be removed safely. Keep what you want to use like facebook or just reset it back using the market so it will be the data folder, not the system folder.

Also what I did on my cooked rom was removed the customization folder completely and put the bootanimation.zip file with the android_audio.mp3 in the media folder. That way you remove ALL the provider customization's(de-branding). One last thing is to disable them from doing an OTA to your phone... go to the system/etc/security folder and rename the otacerts.zip to otacerts.bak and the FotaSign_PubKey.der to FotaSign_PubKey.bak. Just some thoughts...

I forgot to add that the build.prop file needs to have the customization edited out, or you would end up with boot loops. I attached a modified version, from your ROM with tweeks.

Update

I know; haven't forgotten. Pulled HTC Facebook for US Cellular, locating HTC Twitter for VM USA. I kind of feel like This is nearing the end of this thread for me; however, I will offer this last build with wifi hotspot, fm radio, the original build.prop tweaks Tera Tike shared, and the Friendstream fix with links to Tera Tike unbranding and debloating, adhoc, etc as the final release. I will also leave base downloads [if links get broken over time, pm me] so if someone is a purist, they could choose the oldest. I will open a poll for next branch, "What would you like to see next?"; although this poll is not indicative of which direction I choose to go, it does carry a large bearing on my decision. Stock is stock; so, this one's done [after the release later today]. Enjoyed the ride; support and rom discussion still welcome. Don't forget to vote in the poll.

I got stuck flashing another ROM, and was looking for another for a sanity check, came across this thread. I see only a 12/4 version of this ROM, but lots of talk about more builds - has there been a downloadable ROM since 12/4?
[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
No. I have been fighting an internal purist belief that nothing should be updated on this thread. It's [clean] stock with Apps2sd support added; that's it. I really don't care to tweak the build.prop, add more apks, update apks. I made this as a safety; so, anyone could flash back to stock. I am making one with tweaks and adding peep, and have the other one cooked [ready for release, but still testing it for today] because the people on the thread asked me to, and I said I would. I am a hobbyist and move somewhat slowly when I do develop. Why? I want to make sure it's right first; so, I am not asked to go back and fix it again. Now developmentally, I have now have done one of the poll options above; which, I have but won't release because it is somewhat corrupted [have my notes though to rebuild cleanly], I also have another poll choice almost completed. So if majority chooses the one I haven't worked on, great another project. If they choose one of the other two; they can be released seemingly in short order. I know I'm slow; that's why I do it that way. Why wouldn't I release both? Because I do follow and support each project, and I can't have too many irons in the fire. Probably would shoot a copy to a friend if they choose a similar path and wanted it. So basicly to summarize if you are looking for nightly flashings I'm definately not your kind of developer; if you are looking for stable monthly releases [most likely of differemt flavors] it is a pleasure to meet you.

You ever tried kamma's widget? Here's the XDA thread until I figure this out.

P.S. Not in customization as I stripped it and tested adding the apk back in... still failing.

[HTC Wildfire S] BigChillin:
I got a parsing error. So I'm guessing it's specifically for ics. At any rate, beings that sense is proprietary, HTC probably wouldn't want to help, would they?

Edit: 1.7 wouldn't work but 1.6 is good, thanks!

Sent from my HTC_A510c
[HTC Wildfire S] rkleinhenz:
Clear. Thanks. I used your ROM to flash my Wildfire S and verified that it's not me being the problem, but there is some incompatibility between ssclassic ROM and my device. Appreciate your work!
[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
Umm try 1.6; 1.7+ requires ics.

Edit - Great. Will jot it down for sense-less notes. I would settle for the kernel source for our phones, but no, they are not too helpfull on technical issues. btw did run across articles noting a security flaw in peep, but htc would release a [higher security] issue on request. Maybe I'll try that route. It was a first of 2011 article though; I'll keep you posted.

Np.. You will have to take the ssclassic thing up with that dev.
[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
done banging head against wall

After fully testing the cooked-in radio / wi-fi hotspot build I will release it today.

On friendstream: contacted HTC [forum was down]; letting peep go as far as a stock addition.

Last night I popped in the US Cellular stock rom and tried to add htc facebook; because I'd tried about everything I could to get Peep going. No luck on that rom either [adding htc facebook]. The accounts & sync version numbers are different, and basically I suppose HTC thought we'd enjoy more loggers than friendstream choices :confused: My next strategy for "fixing it" would be to port another sense [that had a fuller range of friendstream related choices]; which, you might see in a new thread in a week or so if I am sucessful [while I am waiting for poll to close].

v1.1 release

This is a release with the changes noted in the OP's changelog for v1.1

with the following change as well; added data/app support; so, I could add six useful,helpful apps. [Dolphin HD, ES Explorer, Link2sd, Apps2sd gui, Hackers Keyboard, & Titanium Backup; all free editions-delete them if you want to]

Also, as with any new rom installation. I recommend doing the following in your recovery: a factory reset [which wipes your data and cache] and advanced clear dalvik cache. If you do those two things, you usually don't have any transference issues.

Android OS version : 2.3.4
Device : marvelc
Model : HTC_A510c
ROM Name : 1.02.652.00
Rooted (Superuser.apk + su) : YES
Rooted (unsecured boot.img) : YES
BusyBox installed : YES
BusyBox run-parts support : YES
Apps2SD (Apps to EXT) enabled : YES
/data/app enabled : YES
Custom boot animation allowed : NO
Nano text editor installed : NO
Bash shell support : YES
/system/framework is deodexed : NO
/system/app is deodexed : NO
radio.img found : NO

--Download Link-- v1.1

Want to go even further with some build.prop tweaks, debranding, debloating, etc?

See this post [same thread] and by all means thank Tera Tike if you find it usefull :)

I ran through the exercise 2-3 times; it works.

"I'm still getting memory issues."

See my next post.

[It's why I included two of those apk's]

"I wanna go fast." [Ricky Bobby]

See this post. [same thread]

"Will there be any new releases of this rom?"

Nope; not planned. I will release a ported rom upon completion that [hopefully] fixes Friendstream woes.

Happy New Year everyone.

Apps2sd/Link2sd Guide

"I got new apps on a stock rom.... Whaaat?"

Yep. WFS has severe memory challenges; so, I cooked in Apps2sd support.

That being said, it still needs to be enabled.

A2sdGui

Fire up your newly installed v1.1 and select the A2sd gui app.

Allow Superuser access.

Click Yes to continue. [maybe two times]

A note here. All of the roms I have ever released are zipaligned [contrary to another dev's opinion].

You may choose zipalign on boot if you want to keep zipaligning them each boot cycle.

Ignore swap as the stock kernel doesn't support it.

Now click the Dalvik tab at the top.

Select Dalvik Cache on SD-EXT

Then lets say set [judgement call] set your VM Heap size to 30 at the bottom

then select move and rebuild and confirm with yes.

Another note: I cooked this to have the dalvik on sdcard; so, it has the support; just doesn't pull the values.

Your device will now reboot [and make take a minute to rebuild your dalvik cache].

You may [or may not] choose to go back into the A2sd gui now & click yes again.

Go to low memory tab at top and choose a setting [I like Optimum]

Then hit change at the bottom.

You are done with this app.

Link2sd

Now that we've got the A2sd mounting issue resolved easily, fire up Link2sd.

It will scan your sdcard and ask what kind of format it is.

Now if you have partitioned your sd card, you should know the value to choose [Mine is ext3, but I partitioned it that way]

If you are still using the factory sd card, You will want to choose Fat32/Fat16 here.

Allow Superuser access.

It will give you a message about creating a script. Click OK.

Now hold down the power button and then choose restart. Might come up with a message, but click restart again if it does.

Upon restart, you can move any program you download to your sdcard from the Link2sd app. No matter if it has A2sd support or not.

And that is your mini-guide. I cannot write a script for it unless I knew what kind of partition you may or may not have; so, this is an easy way to get it up and running.

Regards,

Rob

Yep. Waiting on the collective upload... growing a beard. I'll be here until it finishes though. Then I'll fix it.

A note: I did attempt to port the euro version while I was waiting/restarting uploads. It did boot, but no touchscreen; so, a bust. [It had all the friendstream options]. Fixing link now.

[HTC Wildfire S] rkleinhenz:
I downloaded and installed the 1.1 ROM. Every time I install something it seems to reboot (goes to the white quietly brilliant screen). This happens when I install something from market or via titanium restore. Any thoughts?

Rich
[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
hmmm

Nope. I get that behavior on initial boot.; figured it was background building. After customizations finally loaded though, I didn't have it any more. I also tried to go back and cook it clean, but perhaps it was in the cook. I'll reflash it, install some stuff, and see if I can reproduce your results.

Rob

The initial boot behavior is fairly common. Seen it on a ton of roms. For the other issue; I am not getting it. Downloaded a few from market; installed a few from titanium. No reboot or white screen. Did you do a factory reset / wipe dalvik cache [in advanced menu of recovery] before you flashed it?
[HTC Wildfire S] rkleinhenz:
I reinstalled just to make sure and the reboot behavior is still there.

I was also unable to install root explorer. It rebooted but the icon never showed up. Tried it twice, so now I restored from my nandroid backup

Rich
[HTC Wildfire S] brandonhun:
Loving the FM Radio support now. You have now made my school days slightly less boring. xD
[HTC Wildfire S] rkleinhenz:
Did you get to that by any chance?

I did a factory reset and formatted boot and system. Is wiping dalvic cache a separate operation? I did not do that. AFAIK I don't offload dalvic cache to SD.

I am a little confused, some of the instructions I see out there to prepare for a ROM flash seem like voodoo. Some folks say that you need to format cache, sd-ext, data separately after performing the factory reset that AFAICT does the exact same sequence already so I honestly don't see the point but I've done this now and then since I got stuck otherwise.

I was really hoping I could use this ROM since you included the darktremor a2sd. I looked at that and realized that it won't work on a stock ROM but you did the work
[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
i'll check it again

I loaded it up, installed 3 apks from market and three from titanium...no problems; I am happy if you do the factory reset. Dalvik is under the advanced menu of cwm though if you ever care to use it. I'll put it back on and test again loading specifically root explorer; Could you have gotten a garbled download I wonder? [I pretested it a day with no problems as well] Lets do one of those md5 sig checks [pm me on that please], the market install of root explorer causes reboot issue baffles me, titanium I've had in the past have had rare, extremely rare issue of a backup not reinstalling or installing but not working correctly. This I presumed was because I might pull a backup apk from the us cell rom. It should come with ES Explorer that has root explorer function [I use root explorer as well though] I'll test it again now.

Rob

Anyone else having/not having issue with root explorer install?

Best out of rambling above; maybe a bad dl let me dl from mediafire instead of using local copy. I was having upload issue with mediafire; could be a garbled zip [most likely scenario atm]

I advise to put data2sd in this rom, cause sick and tired of apps2sd.
[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
answers/testing

That won't happen on this rom. However, I may add a universal installer to next [custom] rom with choice of apps2sd or data2sd on install; will need a weekend to get that up and running. Good suggestion I prefer the app2sd but its good to have options. We'll add that to the euro port project's to-do list.

Booted vm_usa v1.1 and it is slower than what I'm using now, but it did download root explorer. Love to hear back on how it works upon re-download.

[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
Some tweaking methods

Want to make your phone faster?

There are a number of apps in the market that will do this easily for an end user.

Rom Toolbox can add some tweaking [explore all the settings; it's fun to learn]

free and paid; the Rom Manager doesn't fully support marvel or marvelc yet; so, I don't bother with downloading it much anymore [there is a function that requires that app i ignore it]

System Tuner has a free and paid version and was made to analyze/tune [or tweak if you prefer] your system. This one covers all the bases.

I will also mention/recommend my favorite memory tweak in apk Juwe11's Ram Manager. Take a couple deep breaths, reboot and wowsa! I felt like a turtle on crack my phone was flying.

Anyway, just thought I'd throw out some easy tweak methods from your friendly neighborhood android market. Enjoy.

[HTC Wildfire S] BigChillin:
Ok, sorry this took so long. Everything flashes fine. If people are having troubles, its the download or their inexperience. This was the first time I've used link2sd. Seemed simple enough, but I couldn't get it to work right. (my inexperience probably) Oddly enough though, a2sd didn't work right either. But after a reflash, flashing the beta 4 I have on my Sd and reinstalling my apps through terminal instead of GUI, it worked. Dunno if it was my download or not. But other than that, everything seems fine.

I just cooked it in from the dsixda's android kitchen, but most all of the a2sd's are having problems with newer stock roms. Checking on that script as a possible fix. Will also check version number kitchen installs and the new beta as a possible fix as well.

I will probably be releasing a new(er) 2.3.4 rom this weekend; which,

will be a rebuild of MetroPCS RUU for all US cdma carriers.

I've teamed up; so, it will probably be released as a Team MarvelUSc product.

Also working on the Euro-port still, but it is still far from release status.
