Sweet deal! I actually just loaded up 2.2 MTD last night coming from CM7. I didn't really like the camera on CM7 and I use it quite a bit so that was important to me. I had to use another camera and it sucked even harder.

Either way, I'm excited for a real ERA MTD ROM. The franken-ROMs we've made seem to get the job done, I'm still a little leery about them though, just because they were kind of patched together.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ashbuly:
MTD version works like a charm!!!!!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] nikon120:
When you're ready to release the next version, would you be able to give details on all the major mods included? (Like hotspot, extended power menu, etc..?)
[Epic 4G Android Development] FerretPD:
Okay, all...This is all great news...But I'm a little confused

(*points* to the "Junior Member" next to his name; be nice to me :rolleyes:):

First...is this ROM ready for us "Little Guys" to use...or is it still in Beta/Dev use only?

(I've only noticed one DL link so far, at the beginning of this thread...)

I bow down to all of you brave enough (and with enough time) to risk bricking your phones for testing...but I can't afford that :eek:

Second, although I've been through several ROMs, I have never changed my File Structure at all. I understand that it's a better design...Am I understanding correctly that Hoff's new EL30 ROM will (when it's ready) do the conversion/re-partitioning for you as a Flash option? (or If not, what should I use to convert; and should I do so ahead of time, or with the Update?) :confused:

(I guess I should mention that I'm running the Legendary 2.2 EI22 right now...)

Thanks in advance!
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
You should treat all ROMs as the potential to sponge your phone, easily fixed with a reflash with Odin. I have seen very few actual bricks in this phone's lifetime. Any bugs found are mentioned in the thread which are very few. Most of our DEVs only have access to one place to host files so usually will be one download link unless the DEV chooses to keep older versions up or make full and lite versions.

As to your second question he stated it will detect if you are on MTD and install the correct kernel. To get to MTD I highly recommend CleanGB 1.12 MTD. Hope this helps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] FerretPD:
Thanks, Kenny!...I can find lots of references to the (program?) you mentioned...but no links! Is this an ODIN thing? Where do I find it? (*ghodz*, I hate being ignorant :mad:)
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Go the the modems sticky or the how to bring your phone back from the brink sticky... both are in the development sticky...

Got CM9?
[Epic 4G Android Development] FerretPD:
So...CleanGB isn't a "formatter"...it's an actual complete ROM?

I found a reference to CleanGB 1.0.5, but can't find 1.12 that you mentioned...So to convert to MTD, I have to flash *that* ROM, and then over to the next one?

Will that allow me to choose my File Structure, as well...OR is that a function of the new Partition design?
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Lol got cm9? Is my sig...

Got CM9?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
CleanGB 1.12 is Toadlife's new MTD ROM. It is in the ROMs in development. Even CleanGB 1.05 will work to just convert to MTD.
[Epic 4G Android Development] FerretPD:
*blushes*...yeah...I figured that out...a little too late...

[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Either of the CleanGB MTD ROMs will format you to MTD yaffs2...no choices are given. It just formats you like CM7 or CM9 does. Looks like Hoffman is working on a formatter as well. Yes if you install CleanGB MTD then you can flash your next MTD ROM right over that whether it formats or not.

[Epic 4G Android Development] FerretPD:
Me, too...going to MTD is kinda scary...but it seems to not be an issue anymore.

Next question...I have a 32Gig SD card in my phone...it won't affect *that* formatting or retrieval, will it?

And one last: Is there an EL30 Modem, and if so...will the ROM include that (or do we *always* have to install the modem seperately?)
[Epic 4G Android Development] vwags:
The formatting when going to MTD is for the phone only and does not affect the card...There is an EL30 modem that you have to be on EC05 or EI22 modem first then you flash to EL30...No the Rom's are not able to include the modem at this point because there has been no official release of the source yet that they need.
[Epic 4G Android Development] grandmasterjrp:
I am interested in testing this new ROM as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
I would be interested in this as well. And if there's anyway you can incorporate the 'flick away' notifications, I would be the happiest person in this thread! The biggest thing I miss from CM7. Well, that and the rotation animation of course.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
sorry for the delay... i got pulled up to fort drum... but the update is coming... once it does, i'm back on actual mods, and you know... all good. it's coming though. Sorry everyone... for slacking. just got alot on my plate right now.

the least i can say is that i can get the MTD version to format and install... my problem is backup right now. just not happening for some reason. i'll figure it out, though. PROMISE!!! I've never not come through on my word, and i don't plan to now... our fans are the reason for this project even continuing... so thanks, and again... it's coming. =)

Going to try two more things with this installer to get this backup working... then i'm going to start screaming. lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:

[Epic 4G Android Development] Nashdogg:
Odin ECO5 stock. Then flash cwm 5 and then reroot. Then flash ERA Legendary 2.2 to convert your filesystem to EXT4. Then wipe and flash this. After Odin if you just flash this it will attempt to install the rfs version which this rom does not like for some reason. The same thing happened to me when this first came out and it took me a couple of days to figure out.

I have to figure out a few more things too.... But i need to get my office setup. Soon as i can do this, i'll be back in full swing on a few projects. For now, i've been working off my bar. Not exactly prime computer space. lol

FB15.... Ok, so as long as we know it's a Leak, i'll go forward with EL30.. Maybe even do a EL30\FB15 remix somehow. We'll see.

As far as this connection optimizer goes, i'll have to do some homework on this one. Find out what it actually does.

Keep posted... I'm trying to get back on my game here... It's been far too many weeks since i've had my own work space to play in.

Interesting. I always thought my Diamond could only tell the direction when you were moving. ALL GPS phones have a compass inside?

[Epic 4G Android Development] FerretPD:
Well...I can't find any mention of it in the Wikipedia article...I know it wasn't part of the initial design of GPS; but it was so necessary to provide accurate headings (as opposed to bearings...which are calculated off of movement) that it's considered standard, now; if not integral.

*EDIT* Color me shocked...apparently, HTC has decided that Magnetic sensors aren't necessary for the lower end of their lineup (The SensationXL, the One-S, the One-X, the One-XL, & the Sensation XE have it...only the One-V doesn't.)

I thought it was standard, these days....Just goes to show, you learn something new, every day.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kainppc6700:
For sure. Now I know that many gps devices have a magnetic compass inside 'em. I remember an old Magellan standalone gps receiver that I used to have (probably still do) that made you move to calculate which way you were going, and sometimes it wouldn't even be right. What it did have though were little icons next to the arrow representing the current position of the sun and/or moon, so if it was off kilter for some reason, you'd just have to line it up with the sun or moon.

Maybe there is a good reason thet put a compass in them now :-).
