This is a rebuilt nandroid backup from dsixda's Android Kitchen. Be sure to do a nandroid and do NOT flash this on any other model wildfire s[A510c ONLY]. 2.3.4 as is stock to us, added everything including busybox, A2SD, and su, If any devs would like to pull it apart and meld your kernel in, go for it; otherwise it just works on Virgin US. Again, make nandroid. Should have full HTC sense 2.1. Download Link2SD from market for some space savings, and don't say I didn't warn you to nandroid [three times].

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

Why do you leave your rom build odexed?

Well, first that's how it came, and I wanted a clean stock to build from. Also let us define odexed because for some reason it gets a bad rap.

Did we see something about being faster? yep. Did we also see something about saving space? yep.

Basically I deodex on roms under 100 meg, but sense roms are almost always going to be more than that.

Not happy about VM hiding/disabling WiFi and wish your stock had FM Radio?

See this post [same thread] for v1.1

Changelog:

01-01-12 v1.1 [see post link above]

changed hosting sites

updated system apk's

added some useful apk's

made a guide for Apps2sd

enabled, unhid WiFi

added HTC FM Radio

12-04-11 v1.0

totally scraped first build

Found oldest nandroid I had (made shortly after root)

built from that.

Did not deodex this time around.

Known Issues:

Friendstream only has Facebook - no other choices

This is how it came stock; I tried to fix it, but will have to port another sense to get it right.

Thanks

So many I can't remember them all.

eoghan2t7 - for his work developing s-off [w/o xtc clip]

GotsOJ - for being the first to document his s-off experience (was very helpful).

alquez - for his work on the Unoffical CWM Recovery and port of CyanogenMod [which is where I'll be spending some development time next (kernel editing)]

dsixda - of course for his kitchen

jikantaru - lots of sense development for the Euro-side of this phone

BigChillin - for being my first tester

Tera Tike - for very useful contributions to the thread

etc.

P.S. the RUU in the first thread [Football's] is not for Virgin US... maybe Canada or something... didn't work right on my first cook.

Development Rom

might make this my temporary development rom. I've buit it up with ADW to a minimalist kind of existence. Will recook and add guides for those that care.

Do you all get marvel boot animation and black htc down animation [thanks to Jikantaru]?

Rob
[HTC Wildfire S] BigChillin:
Yes. But the marvel animations framerate might be too much. It's very jumpy.

rework

I think I'll try to make stock rom flashable; then build this up a bit. No official RUU makes it more difficult. But I think I can find a way. Side project: might release some flashable kernels. We might then be ok to flash behind existing roms [also experimental]. This would meld our ramdisk with some other kernel(s)... Not breaking out any editors yet; trying to get lucky.

Rob
[HTC Wildfire S] ScottPomroy:
Not bad all that is needed now is overclocking kernel. I can add everything else I need.

Installed a2sd and gotten 133mb free and installed 20 apps and still have lots of free space. I'm keeping this on now.

Bluetooth connected to my laptop.

Seems as though mms isn't working too.
[HTC Wildfire S] ScottPomroy:
Reverted back to stock due to mms issues. Need mms for work. I did make a backup just in case somebody can tell me how to fix the mms issue. Other than that I FREAKING LOVE IT!!!!!!
[HTC Wildfire S] BigChillin:
Mms force closes anytime you try to add a picture. I also get the phone app fc sometimes on start up. But that one doesn't cause any call problems.

Rework

Guys:

Reworked this rom. Test it and tell me if you find anything broken. From what I've seen, Sense is back, its odexed, and seems to work. Thanks in advance.

Rob

PS I believe bt and mms will both work now.
[HTC Wildfire S] loveVII:
MMS is working. Camera/Flash work. Everything seems to work. I don't have any BT devices or else I'd test that, too. Will let you know if I run in to anything down the road. Seems good, though. Now to remove all this BLOAT.

---------- Post added at 04:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:07 PM ----------

Installed DarkTremor's A2SD and No Bloat Free... Removed some bloat programs (Where, SCVNGR, etc) and then restarted my phone. Got stuck in a boot loop.
[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
The first version [which I scrapped] was debloated, but I hacked out something neccessary or the deodex got me. Booted with no themes, no bt stack, no mms, etc. Be careful when you trim the hedges.

insink71,

You might try enabling the WiFi Hotspot (ie. WifiRouter.apk) in your ROM by changing the build.prop in the system folder,

ro.wifi.hotspotUI = 0

to

ro.wifi.hotspotUI = 1

Here are a few tweaks that I use you may want to try;

# Set Bootloader & Unlock Status as unknown
ro.lb = unknown
ro.bootloader = unknown

# Disable sending usage data
ro.config.nocheckin = 1
ro.config.htc.nocheckin = 1
profiler.force_disable_err_rpt = 1
profiler.force_disable_ulog = 1

# Disable Google location features
ro.com.google.locationfeatures = 0
ro.com.google.networklocation = 0

# Decrease dialing delay
ro.telephony.call_ring.delay = 0

# Disable blackscreen issue after call
ro.lge.proximity.delay = 5
mot.proximity.delay = 5

# Enable proximity sensor in call if you disable most Sense features
gsm.proximity.enable = true

# Smooths out reconnects
ro.mot.eri.losalert.delay = 1000

# Fix some application issues
ro.kernel.android.checkjni = 0

Force launcher into memory
ro.home_app_adj = 1

# Disable graphic dithering
persist.sys.use_dithering = 0

# Improve scrolling responsiveness
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec = 100

# Improve overall touch responsiveness
debug.performance.tuning = 1
video.accelerate.hw = 1

# Disable Zygote loader
ro.wmt.blcr.enable = 0

# Increase heapsize for better performance
dalvik.vm.heapsize = 48m
[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
would love wifi hotspot

Had wifi hotspot w/ Tmo and loved it; however, quick edit to build.prop netted me a bootloop :( Didn't try the other tweaks but I will. Wanted something as close to stock as I could get, and this is it [good or bad] with a2sd thrown in.

Rob
[HTC Wildfire S] Tera Tike:
Just curious how and what did you use to edit the build.prop file that you got the boot loop?

Root Explorer?
[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
Yes root explorer; text editor.

Rob
[HTC Wildfire S] Tera Tike:
Strange that's what I use and not a problem. What property did you modify?
[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
just the wifi router

;

Only

ro.wifi.hotspotUI = 0

to

ro.wifi.hotspotUI = 1

Doing some reading on cdma build.prop s now. Thanks for inspiring me to read; from cursory look it seems they can be quite different.

Rob
[HTC Wildfire S] Tera Tike:
On the T-mobile GSM version the line, ro.wifi.hotspotUI is not in the build.prop file. You might just remove it all together. Just a thought....
[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
got it working

Was something blocking. build.prop was dropping to zero / becoming blank file.

Worked once I got around that. Will include next release =) but for now I have mobile hotspot. Yay!

Leaving Main Rom (Stock Experience); Making a Last Custom Rom

Friends... I feel a new day dawning. And Yes, tomorrow I will post my farewell build for a bit. My next project is ambitious, but believe me, will be well worth it if I can figure it out for our phones. I will be attempting to build some unofficial 4ext recoveries; if I can get them to work, Madmaxx will consider adding support in his app. He has got a touchscreen recovery guys. I got to pull my stuff together and don my reading glasses; would not mind teaming... Ok enough about that. The rom I'm testing tonight has about everthing one could want. Adhoc support thanks to primetechv2 over on androidcentral.com (interesting reading), wifi tether, wifi hotspot, and I debloated a little, modded a little, I think you guys will be happy for now ;) didn't deodex just because I did it in the first build and well I don't theme too much anyways ::shrug:: you have that choice elsewhere, but everything but the kitchen sink is in this one. Even FM radio you ask? Listening to it as I type (not internet streaming). I will miss this first on the dance floor bit, but I'm going to try to come back with some MC Hammer moves (if the 4ext recovery thing works out). I will modify the OP one last time (unless we run into unforeseen snags). Hey if this thing does work, I'll come back and add ext4 support. 4ext is my partitioning recovery of choice on my other two phones; Now to get it on this wee lil wildfire s ;)

apologies

Its acomin... Been sick and trying to work on some small fixes to no avail [2nd kernel under dirty thread is so close]. That would give overclock and ext4 support; i just can't get it to work smoothly :( I'll get something up though asap [with or without those tweaks].

I am completely stumped on how I'm supposed to flash this onto my phone... Whenever I try to Google for help I just get instructions for the GSM Wildfire S that don't help me out at all.
[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
thats what I'm here for

Couple of questions first...

Do you have s-off?

If not, refer to this thread

Next are you rooted? (This also installs recovery which you will need)

If not, refer to this thread and choose the unofficial cwm as your recovery.

Ok. You are up to speed. Now two ways you can flash this:

Drop to recovery manually (like when you rooted) and flash zip

Download Rom Manager from the Market and do it the easy way

Hope that helps you out :)

Rob
[HTC Wildfire S] bsoplinger:
I feel like I'm missing something here. Doesn't stock Android from 2.2 upwards have app2SD built in? So why is there a specific mention that you added app2SD?

Second question. ROM Manager from Market...

Does it have a way to backup the factory ROM and a way to go back if it turns out I don't like this? I've rooted a number of Android devices but never used a custom ROM before.
[HTC Wildfire S] BigChillin:
This would be dark tremors a2sd. Androids a2sd only moves a couple of apps to the card. Dts moves all of them and if your

Sd is good enough, you can run your dalvik off of it too.

And ROM manager is just GUI access to the recovery. It does backups, but our phone isn't supported. (dunno about the transformer thouGHz)

Sent from my HTC_A510c
[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
what he said

BigChillin correct Darktremors apps2sd allows you to move more apps and even your dalvic vm to sd [which saves a lot of space; think jikarantu has a link2sd thread about moving it]

Yes Rom Manager [after it recognizes your recovery is cwm compatible] can run nandroid backups (common term) [think it says backup current rom &/or manage and relace backups] This is an image and allows you to return your device to a previous state. [Titanium backup won't; it backs up the apk and data (which can save a lot of downloading, but doesn't roll you back)]. Good to learn about backing up before flashing. Good luck.

Rob

PS I am going to assume you have a wildfire s A510c and a transform as I clearly marked thread A510c only; typically a bad idea to flash roms for different phones across to yours [unless you are an experienced dev [ie alquez flashed an aria rom to his A510e to see if it would boot, but he is more advanced with wildfire s]
[HTC Wildfire S] bsoplinger:
LOL, yes Transformer and Virgin Mobile Wildfire S (and HTC Flyer too). I'm rather happy with just root on the tablets but this phone could use a bit of a tweek which is why I was thinking of flashing the ROM. Also why I wanted to ask questions to make sure I knew at least halfway what I was doing.

So the ROM manager wouldn't be too much use for the Wildfire since it isn't CWM compatable. No backup, etc. Correct?
[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
Rom Manager

Actually the unofficial CWM works with Rom Manager. I don't know how it recognizes it [at first it won't] but hit the flash radio and then back button a couple times, drop to recovery [thru Rom Manager]... after about 5-10 mins of playing with it [and not flashing anything] it auto-updates :) Then you can use the functions of Rom Manager; however the Rom side [where you download] is totally useless [since not officially supported]. It offers Google Apps, Cerebos [which I do not recommend] and some other basic in download [I think Superuser] [but they can be used on any phone]. No database to catch roms for our phone specifically yet; Perhaps one day. I emailed Koush and asked him about official support; he wrote on a thread [a long time ago] that if you send him your phone, he'd make an official CWM for it... so I offered to send him my phone for awhile; I have others I could use. But I never heard back ::shrug:: Hope that helps.

The main thing Rom Manager offers is booting straight to recovery; instead of, powering down, powering up into hboot, then dropping to recovery. That button alone it worth it to me. If I learn how to I'd like to code that into the restart [kind of like CyanogenMod]. More likely a working version of CM7 for our phones will emerge [that already has the option]. Anyway, I'm rambling again.

Update

Sure. I'll throw a build (and alternate link) up on the OP tomorrow with the fm radio and hotspot enabled. Got distracted when the new kernel source dropped this week (from HTC).

Alternatively (until then) you can try the US Cellular rom (works on our devices and has both [came that way for them]) if you can stand the branding ;)

The tweaks, wifi tether, adhoc, debranding, etc. I will save for the custom rom (and different thread) that will be coming soon. I'll PM you and PoGoP so we can all be beta testers for it. This one will become a place that newer users can flash back to when they screw everything up and will probably fade back into the development section; Wish I could find an official RUU to give to Football for marvelc but I haven't spied one (for VM USA or US Cellular). Oh well. Thank you by the way for answering questions on thread, testing, etc. I count any help as a blessing in today's age of snipery. I really appreciate it.

Rob
[HTC Wildfire S] BigChillin:
Nice, didn't even know they released that yet. Stupid question, but was the kernel included? I personally can't wait for oc'd sense :) .

Also, no problem. If you take the time to build it, I'll take the time to help you fix it. I'm an ass most of the time, so I do my best to help even it out.

[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
kernel

US Cellular had same kernel as us (2.3.4). HTC released source for 2.3.5 so I am attempting a build that should work for us marvelc'ers. To start, I will probably just do balanced and on demand profiles (this is just kiss rule; less profiles less potential problems), oc to 800, allow for ext4 and swap support [everyone doesn't use swap, but I do], and pray... my first android kernel built from source, but I'm all read up (and I've compiled a linux kernel before). Its after after you get it compiled and flashed to device that some of the real work begins (logcat and dmesg work.. no fun). When I get 95% of the errors settled, I'll release a beta of the 2.3.5 kernel to you and PoGoP as well. Then shortly thereafter start a thread for it. The source is for the Euro build, but (theoretically) should include changes HTC made in between the 2.3.3 first kernel source release (which should include us since we are 2.3.4)... so I think we should be able to get it working. It will downstream be combined with the upcoming custom build. My goal is to get something working and together by New Years; the clock is ticking though.

Rob
[HTC Wildfire S] ScottPomroy:
I'm willing to test also. Considering I love what you cooked up already except for one problem. It seems as though now that my apps aren't taking up internal memory now my contact storage is and something else just can't figure out what. Is there a way I can find what else is taking up the internal storage. I'd like to be able to keep at least 50mb free at all times. But it keeps going down to 10mb then I have to clear my contacts so I can update apps and stuff.
[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
That's Sense for ya

Scott,

That's good old HTC Sense, and the reason some people hate it. Takes up about 20mb (mainly contact increase) and resides in the system directory (no reasonable way of moving it to sdcard). This is why I'm a CyanogenMod fan ;) Working on update though (for Virgin)... will drop tonight.

Rob

Suggestion: To fix this scenario, Do a factory reset (wipe all data), then NEVER sign into HTC Hub. That's when your troubles begin... I delete it (with Titanium Backup [you can make a backup that way if you're interested]) ;)
[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
hmmm

cooking in the edited build.prop did not yield the expected results ::scratches head:: Still the same version guys... I'm working on it.

Rob

Never got it.... Going to bed.
[HTC Wildfire S] ScottPomroy:
Actually my problem resides with Facebook. It asks if you want to sync your current contacts and instead syncs all of your contacts and I end up with all of my FB in my Phone book. Right now I have it under control. I'm at 35mb free and it can vary up to 45mb free which I am cool with. With Cyn will I still be able to sync my current phone contacts with their FB accounts also? I can't wait to overclock this processor and be able to use Flash on the phone. The other thing I like about this phone is how the screen shuts off during a phone call with the proximity sensor will this still operate with Cyn? I see you working with the Cyn how is it coming along?
[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
i learn... but actually

I am always talking/learning. Still haven't built the 2.3.5 source code to see if I can cook up an overclock kernel/ext4/swap. Been swamped at work. That would probably be next big project. Along with that, since there have been social media for sense omissions, think I'll see what I can do to port the euro build's sense package [this will help be identify libs that have to stay for cdma], then probably ics build team. Simonsimon34 doing a cm port; I would think he'll get one stabilized before I'll be able to look at it in earnest. I like CM but not in a marvelc port race; honestly, I really am going to take my time and note all differences between our system and euro [gsm ruu]... Build to best knowledge, boot [if possible], logcat and dmesg to correct blantant bugs and try to alpha something. Although us cellular and vm usa roms can boot and run on either machine, the build.props are quite different; got to brush up [again] on my build.prop editing, remove [carrier] cutomizations, think I will deodex now; they are using a way to control partition size now [odexing saves space at the expense of not allowing customization. That's pretty much it. Think also I'll leave Apps2sd off my cooks, then have some add-on scripts for it and others [ie data2wherever] since no one will be happy with just one flavor.

What you got cooking?

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Glad you other guys liked it. Meant to be a flashable recovery back to stock [so bloat wasn't removed] and added Apps2sd per the memory challenges. I had planned on making an additional rom for marvelc, but I have not got around to it [more like jikarantu's xe for our side]. I could get the wifi router working, but when I made edits and then cooked, it didn't work out as well. I'll get back to it.

Ok so I wiped the whole thing again and reflashed this ROM and nowI have more space then last time. COOL!!!! I am having a problem though. How do I get WiFiRouter to run? I tried editing the string in the build file but yet then I noticed there's no icon for the program in my phone and I didn't erase it. It's in the app folder but when I click it tries to install and doesn't install. What am I doing wrong?

---------- Post added at 02:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 PM ----------

What values did you change to increase performance and increase battery life?
[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
you are trying to hard

The WiFi router is already installed. You must enable it in build.prop... see my recent post above. Tera Tike noted this and other tweaks to build.prop, it is as simple as changing a zero to a one, but you need to use the right editor, set permissions if they are changed.. and reboot. Voila ; WiFi router.
[HTC Wildfire S] ScottPomroy:
OK I've done all of that(using root explorer) and well still nothing. The only place I find it is still in System/app and when I touch it, it won't install. The other tweaks worked without a problem except this one.
