This is a beautiful rom... So beautiful, in fact, I'm going to try to use it daily instead of fresh, at least for a while.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] durhamite:
I experiencing the same thing. I don't seem to ever go over 2 bars in areas where I usually have 3-4.

Roaming Indicator On makes me nervous am i gonna be charged for roaming?! i should have signal...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Leukay:
Hey Darch, do you think we'll be able to get the 3d roll effect in the launcher? I know our GPU's are pretty lacking compared to the Nexus and the Droid, but I think they could handle it ;) And once again, great rom, I'm loving it!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
The same thing was going on in the 2.0 ROM. You aren't really roaming and should be fine.

I work for the wireless industryvand juat fyi no national cell carrier charges for roaming although i doubt ur truly roaming its just a aosp error for this rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
OK guys, i'm back. Thanks 5tr4t4 for uploading a kernel for me. I wouldnt have enough time to make the kernel as i'm pretty tight on schedule. With your kernel multi-touch works in browser, maps, etc! As for opengl, there is another permission issue! ahh! will try to fix that. check back in like 30-60 minutes for an update.zip

as for people with battery issues, i'm lasting pretty fine here. I've just put it on charger, running from 5 am to 6:30 starting at 90% to 20% with heavy 3g usage.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] jdlumley:
Darchstar. Can you recommend the steps to take before flashing to this Rom: I know you say full wipe. What about restoring to stock first?

Also, what about after flashing the Rom? Google ****? Setcpu?

Any other recommendations?

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] phonetec:
wipe, flash rom, flash google ****, follow instructions on page 17 to achieve full root
[Hero CDMA Android Development] icm714:
anyone figure out how to reroot and not be stuck in the endless boot-screen of death lol or EBD
[Hero CDMA Android Development] icm714:
also i noticed that you cant sync your facebook friends to your contacts i tried to add it under the accounts but it wont just a minor thing but thast what i saw
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 5tr4t4:
My pleasure, darchstar, thanks for the ROM! Let me know if I can help going forward. I'm all set up here on Linux and have some experience building kernels.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cyclonebee:
Yep, same here, I was asking about it on the 2.0.1 ROM but apparently it isn't important enough to fix. Not saying its a priority by any stretch of the imagination, just that it's important to some people and really nicely fills out the contacts with pictures instead of little gray android heads. Hopefully it works in one of these updates...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blankd3ckskat3r:
Its people like you that discourage devs from putting up roms on forums. Stop being greedy, or do the work yourself. Hes fixing one thing thing at a time, it isnt easy.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
Ya, did you get my pm?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
Hey, thanks for that, i'll include that in the rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] icm714:
hey calm down man f**k where just giving feedback its not greed where not saying get it work or we wont use your rom the dev like the feedback and thats what people here do its people like you that criticize the people trying to help out we just stated that we noticed it not working if he gets it to work he does no hard feelings about it at all
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HeroMeng:
Yeah, he'll get to it. Not to sound like an ass, but either help him by doing it yourself, wait for him to get to it, or pay him for it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] icm714:
lol see i like those options better lol :rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] junior5487:
Im using some app called facebook sync. Ill link the .apk file later I am at work right now. It just syncs contact pics.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
Hey man, I'm sorry about not fixing it. I did see your post in the other thread and this one. I just feel there are more important things to focus on that deal

Directly

with this rom such as wifi or opengl or MT, or BT. I have a full plate to fix, School, a part-time job, and a life. So again, sorry if you were offended by me not fixing this immediately.

EDIT: how about you try using facebook sync that junior5487 uses? its in the market. Tell me how it goes and i'll include it in the rom especially for you :D .. Wait nvm, i can't add it bcause its a paid app, don't want to distributing warez, right?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lordofokra:
http://code.google.com/p/syncmypix/

This works fine for Facebook contact picture syncing.

It says no 2.X but I was running it on darchstar's 2.0.1 AOSP rom yesterday
[Hero CDMA Android Development] icm714:
no theres no offence take care of the main stuff first every thing will fall in to place thanks again for the work if i knew how to code and all i would help im a simple graphic designer
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
Ok, sorry for the delay in releasing the rom, i just need to get the wlan.ko from 5tr4t4 so we can get wifi to work with the new kernel. wait a bit longer
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 5tr4t4:
Sorry to keep you waiting, see attached (unzip, then push to device or add to ROM at /system/lib/modules/). I had a busy day and hadn't logged in...hadn't realized until a little earlier that my kernel was being included in the ROM.

Could you please double-check this before adding it to the ROM? I had built kernels for 2.1 AND for 1.6 and am checking now to make sure this wlan.o is build against the 2.1 kernel. Essentially I'm going to do a quick kernel rebuild just like the one in the boot.img you have, then rebuild the wlan.o against that to be absolutely sure.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david279:
Any reason why busybox might be causing the rom not to boot up?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 5tr4t4:
OK, just to be thorough, here is a wlan.o (zipped up) built just now, AFTER a rebuild of the kernel with the config set for Eclair (this was only one config option anyway, so it shouldn't matter but...).

Enjoy, and let me know if this works. I'm rolling my own darchstar ROM right now with my boot.img/wlan.o and will also report back.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] someonenewhere:
do i just flash the zip file like if it was a rom?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] samrozzi:
yeah thanks darch. really hoping i can get BT on my end
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thematrixkid17:
no, it doesn't look like it's signed, but i just signed it, i'll post it if it works for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] icm714:
Install this adb or thru recovery???
[Hero CDMA Android Development] someonenewhere:
Thank you very much...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thematrixkid17:
Hmm, it doesn't seem to be working for me.... This is a fresh install... I wiped, flashed rom, flashed google bits, restarted phone, then used it for a couple hours with no problems. This is my first time signing a zip, but I used fresh's kitchen to sign it, so I don't know how I could have screwed it up. I put the file in the /system/lib/modules/wlan.o in a zip file, then loaded it into fresh's tool. Attached is what I've got, maybe it'll work for someone

EDIT: this update zip updates the file correctly. I pulled the wlan.o off the device after using this zip and compared md5 hashes to 5tr4t4's wlan.o post. Unfortunately wifi is acting the same as before.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gernade23:
Anyone able too install busybox successfully on this rom? Titanium backup wont work without it and when I install it the phone wont get past the boot screens
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 5tr4t4:
Hmm, just booted the ROM with this newly built wlan.o and ddms says "Failed to load WiFi driver". ....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] junior5487:
I got it from here. http://anda.pk/
[Hero CDMA Android Development] someonenewhere:
lookout app doesn't seem to connect with phone either....trying to update my contacts and it wont connect with it....

also gallery doesn't show up either........that's another prob..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
soooo after a full days use i have noticed alot of things that are good and bad. the largest problem that i think someone should look into is that i dont think this kernal is stepping the processor correctly. i noticed that in quick sys info app the processor speed stays 528 and never drops unlike other roms i have tested. and under battery usage 45% of the battery was used by standby. while 2nd on the list is bluetooth with a measly 9% and so on.

anyways this is def. my day to day rom i love it. cant wait to see whats around the corner
[Hero CDMA Android Development] someonenewhere:
This rom it's very nice with very big potentials....but I am going back to a 1.5 rom..

good luck with it, I will keep my eye on future updates and fixes.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jayjay7411:
Has wifi the updated rom with wifi fix been posted yet??/?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerrygon:
Nope......
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerrygon:
Dude I really gotta say that I am impressed with this rom. Very nice work! The only thing that is keeping me from using it day to day is the camera. I have two little kids and the camera is a must to capture those unexpected moments. But really, just had to get on here and say thanks for all you do man...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 5tr4t4:
Sorry, I've been looking for a fix. The problem is not clear to me, this wlan.o build very cleanly, not even a warning from the compiler. I must be missing something simple, any of the other devs want to offer advice?

I built toast's kernel, then pointed $KERNEL_DIR to that build kernel, then went into system/wlan/ti/sta_dk_4_0_4_32 and built the module. It output a clean wlan.o. It says it's "Obtaining IP address from ****", but then ends with "Unsucccessful".

Also, it appears the GL stuff may not be loading properly, the boot dmesg and ddms says that hw3dc cannot load due to a permissions error:

EGL.oem could not open hw3dc (Permission denied)

This may be why the gallery is still so slow, no real GL is yet running?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] grag:
in android

in android how can connect phone with computers?

and how can load becup software on it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] phonetec:
please stop.....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rockcrawler:
ROFLMAO!! :D

Becup = B-Cup LOL
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
wow join date june 2009?

nice first post.

anyways back to all this. ok so darchstar last night said he had the wifi working. if not working at least out of the stupid cycle of obtaining ip...nothing...

sooo any ideas here? darchside maybe you 2 cents to throw in with it?

and with open GL i dont think even think 1.0 is on here because the game raging thunder which i use to test every rom is showing the same way it does on the 2.1 W/O any open GL.

sooo i cant really help much, i write code for windows not linux. this rom is too nice to toss aside hopefully we can work some kinks out
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
It works with the current rom, i posted instructions on how to get it to work. What i'm currently working on is getting opengl and wifi to work with the new kernel toast uploaded
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RVDigital:
I can confirm that the above mentioned fix WiFi fix posted on Page 20, Post #196 works and is currently be utilized on my phone with this most current build from 02-18-2010. I am a total n00b and was able to get it working on the first attempt. Now please, let's let the man work.

Note: I attempted to post links to Page 20, Post 196 but was DENIED because of my n00bish status.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
Thanks darchstar. I think I speak for everyone when I say that all of your work on this is very much appreciated.:D

Meanwhile, I am not going to give up on this post-BusyBox boot loop issue that some of us are having. I've tried every possible combination of kmart's instructions and am able to obtain root but next time I reboot... loop-o-rama. I've tried with XP, Vista, and even Linux but no love.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
To guys having busybox problems, i am not, so you shouldn't either. try reinstalling busybox from recovery to see if that works?

also, i shall upload an update with wifi and MT in a couple minnutes/30 minutes
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
Wifi and MT fix. Thanks Toast for the kernel, and 5tr4t4 for compiling it for me

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
I have had nothing but GREAT battery life with this ROM....I was using 1.5 Fresh for a long time which was also good on the battery

The 2.0.1 ROM "whacked" my battery life hardcore.... and drained it BUT FAST! I was freaking out, but loved that live wallpaper too much to go back to Fresh :)

Thank you Darch for making this brilliant ROM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love it, and keep up all the good things that you do :):):)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RVDigital:
Downloading now! Thanks again for all of your efforts! :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PikkonX:
Me and Watzone tried that and it still boot loops. It's possible to get the phone rooted using the recovery menu, but when it comes to installing busybox (in either recovery or the ROM ADB), something just goes wrong after a reboot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Wipe then flash...? Or just flash over it all...?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
ahh, that sucks. Umm, have you tried reflashing the rom then try installing busybox again?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
just flash it over top
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PikkonX:
Yeah I honestly did about 20 different flashes last night, trying all sorts of stuff with no luck lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
hmm, try this new rom i just uploaded. wipe, flash, su, busybox install.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PikkonX:
Yep, about to try that now after I reboot into Ubuntu, I'll let you know how it goes.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
After we flash this new updated ROM....do we instantly flash Google ****s again....or is it still in there from the past one..?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
reflash it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
ahh crap, forgot to include the MT native browser in this build. ahh well. for a MT browser you guys could either use dolphin or this attachment
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
How do we attach it....I soooo hate dolphin compared to our stock brower :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
... and I'll try it on Vista. Fingers crossed...

Thanks again darchstar!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
oh, sorry if my post confused you. I have the native MT browser attached to that last post. either copy the file to sd, go into a file manager on your phone and install it, or you could adb push it to /system/app
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Sounds good to me!!!! Thanks man so very much!!!! :):D:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jayjay7411:
okay darch i am in enough trouble for being on here so late lol wifey is mad! i want to say thank u a ton and keep up ur amazing work and u need a DONATE BUTTON LOL!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
+1 (NEED a donate button) :)

*EDIT* The MT browser is running magically well and smooth!!!! :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gernade23:
Yeah im still having the boot loop after installing busybox even with the latest version of the rom that was just uploaded. Anyone gotten it to work successfully?

p.s. - Thanks for all the hard work darchstar
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
I've gotten busybox to work successfully. All i did was "busybox --install /system/xbin" . nothing fancy. I'm using the same exact build as you guys are too.

And thanks everyone who like my project so much. that is what pushes me to fix things and stuff like that, you end users.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PikkonX:
Unfortunately, mine still does it too.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sirchuk:
So I tested out the Google Nav app tonight while heading across town. 3 Times the app lost GPS signal and it wouldn't come back until I exited and re-entered the app.

I don't know if this is a rom issue or if it's the app itself (since it's in beta.)

When I re-entered the app it got a GPS signal immediately.

Also, at some point the GPS was 'off' by about 50 meters or so to some side street or something. I couldn't get it back on track and eventually gave up.

Just an FYI on my use..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
after i applied the update, my market is not installed? lol im not quite sure what to say about that one.

anyone else experience this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
Thats because my update-script formats /system every flash. you'll need to reapply gbits
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
thank you alot for the very fast response. i actually just realized that all the google ****s are gone :)

+1 on donate button
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gernade23:
Man that's really weird that's exactly what im doing haha. Im wiping, then flashing the rom, then flashing gbits and then after i go through the initial google account setup i'm going into adb and installing busybox and once I reboot I get stuck in the boot loop =P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PikkonX:
I did that as well. On the second try, I wiped, flashed the ROM and Googlebits, then installed Busybox and it never boots at all. Just immediately starts the loop.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Is there a way to tell if you have busybox already on your phone...I went through some gruling cmd work like 15+ pages back with some folks on here......all because I couldn't get SetCPU to work.

After some "what I assume" was pushing adb's and such....I dismounted and went back into my phone and BAM SetCPU was working. I never was quite sure if I successfully installed busybox or not.

Oh....just looked at my phone and after the new ROM flash it (setcpu) is not working again, lol.

I can do this....lol. brb.....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
busybox stough worked fer me..i went from a no wipe flash from 2.1 Sense to this and re-did all the root stough and it all worked out..additionally i found that the Toast-Eclair kernel runs gets opengl workin' pretty nicely; however, I think i did something to toast my wi-fi as it's not starting. Any ideas?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
EDIT--------------------------------------------------------------------look at all caps.

This for anyone with busybox problems.

follow this word for word. kmart hit the nail dead on with this. works perfect. if the last part gives an error or anything try in recovery. it sometimes fixes it.

hope it helps
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
I'm going to try flashing the 2.1 sense first just for the helluvit. EDIT: Nevermind, I'll try the steps Konikub posted.

@Avalaunchmods, I've tried that too. "adb shell" after "adb remount". I think there's some other factor causing some people to get it and some not.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
OKAY...lol, I "think" I have it working....busybox that is! Again, is there a way to KNOW that it is in fact on your phone and I did it correctly....ASIDE from me getting SetCPU to work again :)

Here is what I did to get SetCPU to work

Typed cmd in to my start/search bar on window....

Then put in these codes one at a time.....

cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

adb devices

adb remount

adb shell

# cd /system/xbin/

# ./busybox --install /system/xbin/

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

cd /system/bin

cat sh > su

chmod 4755 su

exit

exit

Hope this is what does the job....I am still hoping someone can confirm 'how to tell' if one indeed has successfully put busybox on their phone :D:):D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
haa..i'm not so sure..only sure fire way of knowing is if you got past step 6, you apparently have it working, haa
