Thanks Man.

Installed Successfully.
[Click Android Development] mikifafi:
I attached to this post and UPDATE for 5faifROM users. I mean,

it can ONLY be installed by those who have in their Tattoos 5faif ROM v2 or 5faif ROM v3b

. ¡IT IS NOT A FULL ROM!

This update fixes:

Calendar and clock now working.

Energy widget works properly now.

WIFI will work in those ROMs with v2.

The way to apply this update (rename it to update.zip):

1. Reboot in recovery mode.

2. Press Home and EndCall at the same time.

3. Select "Apply update.zip"

You MUST NOT wipe!

[Click Android Development] gengaro:
As for now, I've tried using code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/source/checkout this piece of code which seems to work well with Hero, Nexus One and so on.. but not on Tattoo.

I've noticed that if you start the binaries using adb (or directly inside your phone) tethering starts but it doesn't accept connections, I don't know if it's a problem related with dnsmasq or something else.

In these days I'll browse deep into the sources to see what's wrong.

I'm just wondering how difficult could be to recompile iwconfig with an arm-compatible compiler and push it into the phone.

iptables, dnsmasq, iwconfig, nothing else is needed.
[Click Android Development] Zecanilis:
Installed busybox on /data/local (you need to execute the installer after flashing by "adb shell /data/local/busybox -install").

Does this work only after the flashing?

I've flashed the ROM, and forgot to do that.

Now i get a "file not found"... There is no busybox in /data/local/....

cheers
[Click Android Development] mikifafi:
Probably you didn't wipe /data correctly before flashing the ROM.

All those issues will be fixed in v1.4 (weekend).

You can download it from coburn post and push it to /data/local
[Click Android Development] Zecanilis:
I have wiped the data twice before flashing the ROM... :D

Just used the coburn installer and it's ok.

Thank you

Edit: One more thing... Can you tell me if/how can i remove Battery status?
[Click Android Development] Erik97:

Hi all, First of all Hi, since it´s my first post on the forum.

I manage to flash the 5faif rom. Thanks for the amazing work.

I´m having some issues regarding the connection to my network ( TMN Portugal).

Seems like it´s dead most of the times, even after a reboot it takes minutes to get network ( when it does) and most of the times it will only last for a while?

Anyone else with the same problem?

Is there a fix to it?

Cheers and thanks once more
[Click Android Development] Zecanilis:
Witch rom did you had before flashing?

Maybe you should flash oficial 1.67.405.6 rom first....

Cheers
[Click Android Development] dancer_69:
I have similar network signal problems too. I'm loosing network signal and I'm getting error accessing SIM card that doesn't recognized. After reboot network works fine again, but from time to time this problem appears again. I had official 1.67.405.6 rom before flashing this rom.

Can I wipe it now before upgrading to 3c ?

I guess I must wipe it since many apps do not work at the moment (they open but suddently close)
[Click Android Development] gengaro:

i tried wiping /data and reinstalling 1.3b version, and ended up with no home

process interruption "com.android.settings"

tried upgrading to 1.3c but same problem
[Click Android Development] Zecanilis:
Did you done factory reset also?

I can't remember, but i think i changed my home before upgrading...

If factory reset didn't work, maybe it's best you start all over again (Start with flashing shipped ROM), or restore a custom backup

Does anyone knows how to get the default donut top bar, and it's default icons?

The default toolbar resources are in Settings.apk in /system/app

But this black toolbar is in resources of HTC_IME.apk

Someone knows what is HTC_IME.apk for?
[Click Android Development] chtamina:
it should be the keyboard
[Click Android Development] Zecanilis:
Yes, i think that also.

But i can't find the top bar icons there.

In the Settings.apk it has the default donut ones...

But don't know how we could set it back to it's default...

Anyone with a hint for me?

I think, for people that doesn't have sense ui, the default white/gray top bar is better...

5faif Version 1.4 with app2sd!

New version just released.

5faif ROM version 1.4: http://uploadmirrors.com/download/ER5TW2WQ/5faifCustomROMv1-4-signed_1.zip

With version 1.4 you will be able to install and execute applications from the SD Card WITHOUT doing anything! You won't have to format it!

To use this new functionality you just have to create a folder in your SD card called "app" and then flash 5faif ROM v1.4 in your Tattoo.

See first post to know more about this version!

There is a great "HOWTO" to learn how to flash 5faif ROM in your Tattoo: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=645742

Howto install Sense UI in 5faif ROM.

If you have ALREADY installed a version of 5faif ROM and you want to use the Sense UI instead of the Classical one... you just have to flash the following patch (9MB) as you usually do to flash ROMs (rename it to update.zip, go to recovery and flash):

Problems with 1.4 :(

Flashing fine, booting up.. Hangs a bit at the HTC logo, then all of a sudden a black screen. The backlight is still on. For 45 minutes and counting it is stuck at the black screen..
[Click Android Development] liderzre:
Any 1 flashed with success?

@whooper are u wipe data before flash?
[Click Android Development] mikifafi:
Did you create the "app" folder on your SDCard before flashing?

Did you partionated the SDCard before? There is no need in doing in it.

I have been trying this version during this weekend on two different HTC Tattoos and they worked! It is the ROM I using at the moment in mine.
[Click Android Development] liderzre:
No problems. Flashed with success. Good work. Congratulations. ;)

And update Sense UI also OK. TY.

By the way, thank you very much for trying this new version!

@alberto88a: Yes! They are! - Si! se instalan en la SD, dentro de la carpeta /app/. No hace falta particionar la tarjeta.

Excuse me, if you want to install other apps on microSD after flashing, can you?
[Click Android Development] mikifafi:
Of course! The apps you install will be stored in /sdcard/app/.
[Click Android Development] HTCDevil:
Thank you so much man ;)

And you install apps on sd putting them in "app" folder, is it right?

Thank you yet, i'll test it tonight...i can't wait :D

edit: an idea for your next release: what do you think about moving /data/dalvik-cache to /cache/dalvik-cache as in cn.fyodor's Rom?HERE

So we have much more space (on telephone and microSD) and speed. ;)

After I flash this ROM, will I able to Read/Write chinese language in my tattoo?

Do you mean, install apps to SDcard using the official ROM? If so, yes, search google for apps2sd ;)

[Click Android Development] svprm:
Thanks man.

Downloading......
[Click Android Development] Hellmet:
Thanks for this ROM, the first i am toying with.

Regarding running apps from SD card, every time i install an app my internal memory goes down by the same size as the app. I thought the installed programs would use the SD card an not internal memory. I am using HTC Sync to install apps.

Another issue, when uninstalling i do not get internal space back.
[Click Android Development] mikifafi:
That's not normal. Can you recheck it? Try to reboot your tattoo and ensure yourself that you really flashed 5faif ROM 1.4 ;)

Those with problems (i know this questions are quite like newbies ones, but im trying to help ;) ):

have you tried wiping /data before flashing it?

Another thing: it is very important to let the update.zip flash its own boot.img (I'm saying this just in case you edited updater-script).

Did you parted your SDCard? You mustn't.

Are you sure you have installed v1.4? some people are just installing the sense patch.

Very strange everything.... I know a lot of people who are running this ROM without problems in its tattoo...
[Click Android Development] mikifafi:
@HTCDevil: thank you for your suggestion about dalvik cache. I'll do it in the next release and it won't need to format data! So you will be able to install it without losing any apps or data.
[Click Android Development] HTCDevil:
Thank-you miki ;)

Can you tell me something about SD partitioning?
[Click Android Development] Hellmet:
Well, i checked the sd card and it got the apps installed in app directory and i can use the full market and htc sence ui is gone. So it looks like i flashed it okay. Dunno why every app eats internal space and dont release when uninstalled.

I did a test and installed a 11mb file and then uninstalled it. The file is gone from the sd card but i did not get the space back from internal space it took when installed.

Strange stuff. I will try to uninstall all apps and wipe the sd card and see if that helps. Otherwise i guess i got to wipe and reflash from start.
[Click Android Development] HTCDevil:
Maybe new recovery by maverixx can help us by partitioning sdcard, doesn't it?
[Click Android Development] alberto88a:
what about changing astro file manager with root explorer? we should have more possibilities with this app :rolleyes:
[Click Android Development] _david_94:
@mikifafi:

have you tried wiping /data before flashing it?

Yep.

Another thing: it is very important to let the update.zip flash its own boot.img (I'm saying this just in case you edited updater-script).

Uhm... I just flashed it, changed nothing :o

Did you parted your SDCard? You mustn't.

Nope

Are you sure you have installed v1.4? some people are just installing the sense patch.

I'm sure ;)
[Click Android Development] alberto88a:
miki, could you please explain us how to use app2sd with our official rom? :confused:

i prefer not to flash...I'm waiting for 2.1 but i've not enough memory for all the apps i'm interested in...:(
[Click Android Development] Hellmet:
Okie dokies, i did a wipe and reflashed and now i have 153MB free internal space. Lets see if the internal space goes down with the same amount of space when i install my apps to SD =)

what do you mean?

i'd just like to know how miki let app2sd work on his rom...it's only 10 days i've taken an android on my hands :(
[Click Android Development] _david_94:
There are many guides around already.

Here is one in italian: http://www.androidworld.it/2009/06/01/guida-installare-le-proprie-applicazioni-su-microsd-apps2sd/

Anyway, I doubt whether we'll have 2.1 any time soon ;) Might as well flash this custom ROM. But, do as you wish =)
[Click Android Development] alberto88a:
yes, i tried to use that guide but there are many differences between the device used in the guide and the result of my tatoo's console...i'm scared to brick everything :(

I asked miki 'cause he used it with the tattoo without any problems :D
[Click Android Development] _david_94:
@alberto88a:

Request in a new thread then. =)
[Click Android Development] mikifafi:
@HTCDevil: Why do you want to partion your SDCard? It is not neccesary at all to use this ROM and by doing it you won't get any "new" features ;)
[Click Android Development] Hellmet:
It seems to work better now, but internal space goes down a little bit after each program installed but not the full size anymore.

When you install an app on the sd card how much space will it normally take on the internal memory? just small info/links to the program?
[Click Android Development] alberto88a:
i think because there is a virtual link between the internal memory and the sd...the installing path should be redirected to the sd through the aliasing of the path...:confused:
[Click Android Development] mikifafi:
There are not recursive links for each file.
[Click Android Development] Zecanilis:
if i remove mail.apk and mail.obex from the system/app/ folder, i get them back after reboot..

If i do that with battery.apk for example it works...

Edit: Didn't worked with rootexplorer, but worked with abd terminal...

Cheers
[Click Android Development] alberto88a:
not for each file...but for the root folder yes or not?

is this based on a redirection i suppose...i tried to do the same but i'm not as good as you with android :D
[Click Android Development] HTCDevil:
Maybe because i've had some problems with installation at first time, and maybe it can solves some other problems about apps like root explorer or similars..i would like to try..:)

how do i change the wallpaper & theme of my tattoo ???

i also couldn't findout how i can install apk file deirectly.... because when i copied the .apk file onto sdcard, its not recognising.... i am using apk installer from htcmania.com

why is that buddy ???? can we have a patch for that sos that it works smoothly on my flashed tattoo...
[Click Android Development] Zecanilis:
Same problem here...

cheers
[Click Android Development] mikifafi:
"Scenes" is a functionality added by HTC Sense...so if you want to use it, install the patch to install Sense located in the first post.

If you just want to change the wallpaper press for some seconds over a free region of "home" and select "Wallpapers".

To install and apk do it in the normal way:

-> Through Google Market.

-> With the command: adb install xxxxxx.apk

-> Copying it into /sdcard/app/ and rebooting the Tattoo.
[Click Android Development] manuvaidya:
i figured out the wallpaper changing thing after spending some time.... thanks for your quick reply....

i dont have wifi access here, so i cant login to android market.... hence installing apps from market is a dream as of now......

anyway i found a apk installer... its doing just fine, i dont have to accept in tattoo as yes for installing.... it installs to app folder by default... very good software... i recommend that to all of you if you dont mind using it...

any good themes you have made for this tattoo ??? if yes, we would love to use it at your mercy.... i got bored of seeing the same theme & moreover its frustrating if you cant change it at your wish right ????

dont feel bad, just expressing my helplessness thats all....:o
