I saw a similar thing also. I just copied R008 zip back to the microSD via PC and then flashed with Clockwork (powered on holding volume down).
[HTC Aria Android Development] MiteMouse:
Wow! With all these features I can't decide to go with CM6 or Liberated
[HTC Aria Android Development] dy57:
You can go into recovery (pull battery, power up w/ volume button held) and go into recovery , then update from zip to install the new rom.

I believe that the latest version of ROM Manager has issues during reboots with the newer roms. I had choose to downrev to 2.0.2.2 to resolve this problem.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Aphox:
Used ROM manager to partition my 16gb card at 512 with 256 swap before flashing R008. Amount of free space on the phone hasn't changed at all though. How can I tell if Apps2SD is working correctly?
[HTC Aria Android Development] :
Posted twice for some reason.
[HTC Aria Android Development] :
a2sd check

Run in terminal. If you have a fast SD move Dalvik to SD:

a2sd cachesd

It will reboot.
[HTC Aria Android Development] MiteMouse:
I did partitioned my sdcard to use with CM6. Do I need to partition again to use with this rom?

I have to do some more searching b/c I can't find the a2sd enable setting
[HTC Aria Android Development] :
No, once your card is partitioned it is set. To enable a2sd go to terminal and (I always type su first and enter) then type a2sd reinstall. Note that I believe #8 enables upon detection of the partition by itself, but I may have misunderstood.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Gene Poole:
I think they go by post count, but I don't know how many you have to get before it opens up. I've only been a member since July when I acquired my first Android: The Aria, but I've been pretty active ever since.
[HTC Aria Android Development] bytemare:
Right. I did the advanced restore, and just restored data but then I only had the three choices of languages.

By the way, I don't think the languages work. I wiped data/factory reset, reinstalled 0008, then, without restoring data, changed to Russian. However, except for the weather, everything was still in English. And the only input method available was English. Anyway, everything else is great and thank you very much for the liberated ROM!!

oh, also :) I have no problem wtih editing stuff on the command, if I can restore data and then do something to get my language choices I'd be happy to do it -- linux user here :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] :
I'm not sure, but I think I could post links once I got to 30 messages. Speaking of links:

[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Yes, it does.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
R009 is up, for more information go here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6909467&postcount=1

This is based on the HTC unbranded Aria ROM (www version).

It is Americanized, but I made a www update for it that can be flashed separately to return the ROM to it original form but with my updates.

This ROM NEVER HAD AT&T applications.

This ROM NEVER HAD AT&T disable the native Untrusted app installation (Sideloading)

This ROM NEVER HAD AT&T disable the native USB Tethering
[HTC Aria Android Development] DaTraS:
Hey attn1,

thank you for your continous updates!

One question: I'm getting an asia version of the htc aria soon. As it is meant to be for my sister - and she doesnt speak english too well - is your ROM including the german language?

(Screw you HTC! Making such a lovely lil' phone and not selling it worldwide >_<)

Thanks alot for ya answer in advance!

~ DaTraS
[HTC Aria Android Development] pcruz:
Man Im so tempted to go back to liberated rom from CM6! It has been coming along soooo well. Maybe when RE-liberated (2.2) hits the webs huh.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Yes it does, but I do not have a german specific keyboard, if there is such a thing.

I can try to add it from another ROM if it exists.
[HTC Aria Android Development] darkstarinc:
So if I want all the cool new stuff that is added in R009, do I need to flash the www version, or the deoxed version?
[HTC Aria Android Development] DaTraS:
Great news! Well, the keyboard shouldn't be a problem, as i would like to add htc ime_mod for that.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but I think the mod has its own languages?

So there wouldn't be any problem.

Thanks again, mate!
[HTC Aria Android Development] :
This, sir, is a huge deal and beyond awesome. Downloading now!
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
HTC_IME is included.

Don't flash the www ad-on unless you live in Asia. The default APN won't connect to AT&T and it will add ASIAN IMEs and customizations you probably won't want. Either of the two roms are full featured, and the ad-on is just to make the ROM more region-specific.
[HTC Aria Android Development] :
Out of curiosity...how do you get usb tethering to show up as an option on your connect menu? I still only have those three. I can go into network settings and enable it there...but just handier if I could get it on that menu....
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Wipe/Factory reset.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Wipe Data/Factory reset.
[HTC Aria Android Development] bkmo:
You can say that again. :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] :
Ha! I had a duplicate today too. Weird. I had wondered about wiping and reloading for good measure with #9. Sure enough, its a beautiful thing now. Thanks!
[HTC Aria Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
New toy! Thanks attn1, can't wait to try this.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Gene Poole:
There's some things I found useless in this ROM or didn't really see a need for them:

HtcPlurk (and PlurkWidget) (not sure, but looks like just another IM)

InSingSearchWidget (not usable with AT&T SIM)

JBed? No Idea what this is but seems to work without it.

jackpal.androidterm? Was this added as a util, or part of the Asian ROM?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Gene Poole:
Also, this is the same kernel as recently released (as source) by HTC so my cifs.ko module works fine with it.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
I'll check them out. Looks like the plurk and inSingSearch need to go into the www update and I can leave them out of the ROM. jackpal is a terminal program that is useful for running term commands without adb. Thanks.

Yes, I forgot to add that. Next rev it will go in, along with whatever manager app you recommend.
[HTC Aria Android Development] klyon:
Decided to do it; have a little problem:

recovery, no worries. did all the wiping and whatnot. installing liberated_aria_r009_signed.zip, it got as far as "copying files" and stopped with this error message:

E:Can't symlink /system/bin/bugreport

E:Failure at line 7:

symlink dumpstate SYSTEM:bin/bugreport

Installation aborted.

So I - perhaps foolishly - tried it again. now it's hung up at "formatting SYSTEM" and has been for long enough for me to think it ain't going nowhere.

Any ideas?
[HTC Aria Android Development] klyon:
Well, as so often happens, my panic was temporary and the problem solved by a quick battery pull/reboot to recovery/redo of the process.

When in doubt...

Everything seems to be in order now.

Cheers.

And thanks, attn1. Et al.
[HTC Aria Android Development] :
Sounds like you just had it plugged into usb at some point during clockwork boot.
[HTC Aria Android Development] zedbra:
@attn1,

you are THE MAN!! thanks for the continued updates.

im on CM6 now, but i may give this a go. Big thumbs up!!

with your permission i would like to post/link this thread over at ModMyMobile

thanks:)
[HTC Aria Android Development] Shad0wguy:
Thanks to attn1 for continued support of this rom. I prefer this to cm6, so thanks for continuing to develop this rom.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Mhyst:
I freaking love this rom!! Thanks so much for all your hard work.

I have a question... When I use the RomManager to partition my SD card it warns me about erasing the card, yadda yadda, but after a dramatic pause it doesn't reboot. Am I doing something wrong?

Even if I can't get this worked out, I absolutely love this ROM. It really is a Liberated Aria. I threw on the live wall papers as per usual and everything is working well :D
[HTC Aria Android Development] klyon:
I guess that's possible... I don't remember. But everything is fine now, with this exception: a large proportion of my apps aren't showing up in the market under downloads (including two I paid for...)

Anyone else have this happen? And some I just can't find again, anywhere: Is the market having a little trouble, or this a rooting/rom problem? It never happened to me before, through all my many g1 cyanogen flashes.
[HTC Aria Android Development] fedealf:
First thanks attn1 for all your hard work with this ROM!

I have the same problem, wipe Data/Dalvik/Cache but still don’t let me activate the usb tethering from the connection menu. I restore twice and nothing...

NOTE: cant uninstall Astro and Wireless Tether applications its that ok?
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
In order to enable it that way, you have to wipe data/factory reset, not just wipe caches. it's still available in the wireless networking area in settings.

If data is wiped and you install the rom clean, then it will be there.
[HTC Aria Android Development] kopimi:
Alright, I'm rooted on the stock Aria ROM and I've got a Nandroid backup on my computer and my SD card. Two questions;

1. If I move my contacts to SD card, will they still be there after I've flashed the Liberated ROM?

2. Do I need anything else to be 100% safe and ready to restore my Nanodroid backup? I've got a fresh backup on my SD card and then a backup of THAT backup on my PC, and ClockworkMod.

Is there ANY chance I wont be able to recover my backup?
[HTC Aria Android Development] fedealf:
Sorry, what I mean to say "wipe data/dalvik/cahe” is this:

1. Wipe Data/Factory Reset

2. Wipe Cache Partition

3. Advanced > wipe Dalvick Cache

4. Install ROM

I always do these 4 steps when I install any ROM.

Note:The option for the tether is there but can’t activate is gray all the time. I check the APN too and set it properly but still in gray.

i'm going try to wipe all restart the phone and then intall the rom.

Thanks for the help!
[HTC Aria Android Development] FZ1Darren:
just rooted with clockwork and liberated r009 installed. very slick. thanks for taking the time to do this.
[HTC Aria Android Development] :
I can confirm factory reset method got my tether to show up in the menu.

To another poster, nandroid has never failed me. I also highly recommend entering your contacts into Google contact so they sync. Well worth the trouble.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Why are contacts on your sd card and not sync'd with google?

There is always a chance of failure. Your SD card could fail. However, I have posted stock roms (rooted and not) flashable with Clockwork recovery, or you can install the RUU. The risk is tiny, but it's YOUR risk - YOU decide.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
It's USB tethering. Is your USB cord plugged in when you check it? Enable it first from the pull down menu on the taskbar. If you're using windows, make sure HTC sync is installed. Windows 7 is difficult to get the drivers right for some.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
I think I know what may be going on - if you are using Windows and your drivers are not right, then you may not be able to activate USB tethering. Try installing HTC sync. I use LINUX, and it just works - no driver issues.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tomlogan1:
R009 and Market Downloads

I have just installed R009 and can not get all of the downloads I have purchased via the market. I used Astro to make backups, but the protected items did not copy. Is this a Google issue or is there something in this ROM that blocks some previous downloads from listed? I do get some, but not all of the programs I purchased.

Thanks.
[HTC Aria Android Development] rawen69:
Does anybody have an asian original untouched ROM?

Before I will do a "rooting", I would to sure, I can switch back if I need to case of warranty...

Thanks!
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
No, not untouched. I do have a copy of the Rooted ROM, without modifications, however, until an RUU is released, you can not return to stock recovery and ROM unless you do not use the Unrevoked/Reflash method. The original method (not installing clockwork) still works, it's very frustrating to many, but you can run clock work before root and do a nandroid backup and then install a new ROM without installing a new recovery.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
It could be the way the image is "fingerprinted" in the /system/build.prop file. I will look at it.
[HTC Aria Android Development] zamula:
Thanks again to all of the hard work on this ROM! Right now I'm on R003 and ready to make the jump soon. A couple of questions about backups though.

If I use Titanium, I know I should be able to restore user apps + data and get those back just fine. What about any of the system parts? I assume only a couple of things would be safe, what I'm mainly interested in is my e-mail settings, contact/facebook linkages, and the market list. Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so, which system apps would I restore?

Thanks again!
[HTC Aria Android Development] Gene Poole:
For some silly reason I'd rather spend 3 hours figuring out why this is disabled rather than just spend 10 minutes wiping data and rebuilding it the way I want. Luckily, I've found the setting that changes this. It's in:

/data/data/com.htc.android.psclient/shared_prefs/pimSyncPref.xml

it should look something like this

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' standalone='yes' ?>
<map>
<string name="default_type">Charge Only</string>
<string name="previous_type">Charge Only</string>
<boolean name="customizedNS" value="false" />
<boolean name="dont_ask" value="true" />
<boolean name="isCustomized" value="true" />
</map>

change customizedNS to "true" and reboot.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Verified. Awesome find, Gene. Wonder if the non-market app toggle in the original rom is similar.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Gene Poole:
Unfortunately, no. I searched for that for days. There could be something I missed, but I'm pretty sure the actual settings app is different in that case.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Shad0wguy:
Can anyone verify that insing and plurk apps can be removed? I have no idea what they are.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Yes, you can remove them using adb from Clockwork.

That's been my belief as well.

Edit: Confirmed. Deleting the settings.apk and .odex from the original AT&T rom and replacing it with the deodexed version from the APAC version enables both the normal Non-market app toggle and USB tethering in settings. Also, the APN is not locked down.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Gene Poole:
It's apparently some obscure social networking thing (maybe not so obscure in Asia, I don't know).

I removed them with no ill effects.

R009 Small Details

Just loaded R009 and all seems well.

This ROM has Software Information / Software number: 1.35.707.5 so it appears diffferent from the latest one from AT&T (US) 1.25.502.12.

Also within the Settings / About / System software updates, there is an option to do a "Scheduled check" with a "Check now" button. Just wondering if anyone has been able to run the check successfully. Mine just shows "checking" indefinitely when clicking "Check now". Thus, I disabled the "Scheduled check" option.

There are a few other minor differences but nothing stellar.

- "3G" icon is replaced by the "H" for HSDPA

- When disabling the Mobile Network, the "H" or "E" icon disappears as opposed to having a check box below it.

- Ringtone trimmer works more reliably.

- ...

Also deleted the following from system\app with no apparent issues.

com.htc.PlurkWidget.apk

com.htc.PlurkWidget.odex

HtcPlurk.apk

HtcPlurk.odex

InSingSearchWidget.apk

InSingSearchWidget.odex

Overall, it's great. Thanks attn1!

Hi guys!

I've installed R008, formated ext2 partition on SD card.

My Aria works OK!

What should I do now in order apps2sd to work properly?
[HTC Aria Android Development] luis_r_pr:
What happened to the im app on R009.?
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Yeah, I guess I should get rid of Updater.apk. No good can come of that anyway.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
What IM app?
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
How did you set up the ext partition on the sdcard?

If you let ROM Manager do it, A2SD will work automatically.
[HTC Aria Android Development] goxy01:
I've done it with Ubuntu, not with rom manager.
[HTC Aria Android Development] :
I would let Rom Manager do it...just to be safe. That's what I did and then mounted the sd in ubuntu and expanded from 512mb to 2gb (which now I see was probably overkill.) Rom Manager also creates a swap partition on the card.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
okay, the ext partition must be the second partition. It can be ext3, but not ext4.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Shad0wguy:
The HTC IM app. It has a strike through it if you look for com.android.im in Titanium backup, meaning it was uninstalled or removed.

On another note, is anyone experiencing issues with swype. After installing R009 swype seems to have a new directory of words. I would type I and get Iii. I am wondering if those additional languages added in R008 are causing this.

Edit: And another note, this rom fixed facebook notifications after being broken for months.
[HTC Aria Android Development] goxy01:
I've formated 16 GB sd in two partitions, one is FAT for data and other is ext2 (1500 MB size).

What next?
[HTC Aria Android Development] clickclickpc:
That's no big deal. At least it doesn't keep trying to update from servers each time at boot up.
[HTC Aria Android Development] kopimi:

simplex wireless-N support (Jasonyump patch)

Looks like this patch no longer works on R008.

The patch may have been made void be the kernel upgrade.

bcm4329.ko may just need to be recompiled under the newer kernel source.

Tested by setting router to broadcast in N-mode only.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
bcm4329.ko is built every time I make the kernel. Wireless N is not enabled currently.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
If the ext2 is the last partition on the sdcard, then apps2sd should be enabled on reboot.

1.5 gb is awfully large unless you are moving dalvik cache to sd as well.

if you do

adb shell ls -l /data

you should see a symlink for app pointing to /system/sd/app, which is the mount point for the sd card ext app directory.

if you do

adb shell a2sd check

It will show you your a2sd status

adb shell a2sd help

will give you a summary of options.

Kernel Module

Attn1,

Would it be possible for you to build a tun.ko module for the Liberated line. That's all thats holding back, as far as I can tell, OpenVPN running on a 2.1 Aria. It works great on CM6 but tun is in the kernel there...

Thanks,

I just updated to the new R009 and I lost all my apps and phone numbers..etc. Not a big deal, i used the clockwork recovery to fix.(my nandroid back-up of R005)

How do i load all my goodies back onto the R009 rom?
[HTC Aria Android Development] goxy01:
I did it from beggining, firstly formated SD card with ROM manager (512 MB with 256 MB swap file), then installed R008. I think it's ok now because on command 'adb shell ls -l /data' i see this:

C:\HTC aria\ROOTING TOOLS\SDK\tools>adb shell ls -l /data

lrwxrwxrwx root root 2010-09-23 11:27 app-private -> /system/sd /app-private

lrwxrwxrwx root root 2010-09-23 11:27 app -> /system/sd/app

[HTC Aria Android Development] pckellow:
I recently downloaded R009 and now in the marketplace I am not able to see apps that I know I had on my previous version (R006 - Paypal, square, Klaxon alarm), if someone could point me in the right direction of what to do to get these apps back I would greatly appreciate it. Right now when i search for them I get the pname: error.
[HTC Aria Android Development] :
Not sure what that issue is, but you can nandroid backup your rom now...restore your previous one, launch astro and go to tools and backup the apps to sd, then restore your current nandroid backup again, then launch astro go to tools and restore the apps. Several steps but it isn't overly complicated and will get you going.
[HTC Aria Android Development] klyon:
In my case they don't even show up in the backup. Odd.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Gene Poole:
There's a few threads on this at HTC's support forum. One post I found informative says that the apps previously installed using the market app (from the AT&T version before the HTC update) that don't show up in the market with the latest HTC update will, however, still show up in the market downloads section and update from there:

http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/96/p/6533/29550.aspx#29550

I confirmed this. I went to market and searched "klaxon alarm" and got no hits. I restored an older backup (pre-HTC update) and did the same search and got two hits (demo and main versions of the same program) and installed klaxon alarm demo. I then restored my current ROM (based on the HTC update), launched the market app, and there it was in "downloads" and re-installed fine.

Kind of a clunky kludge, but works (until HTC fixes this).

Anyone know what it is in particular about an app that makes it NOT show up in the market with this HTC update?
[HTC Aria Android Development] pckellow:
Does anyone have a copy of the older Liberated Rom? Maybe back to R005?

So Astro will bring the apps back, what do i use to get my User Data back after changing my ROM to R009?
[HTC Aria Android Development] pckellow:
So I tried the above, installed the R005 and then went to the market and its still not showing up, I wiped the data and everything, any other suggestions? The only thing I can think of to do is to start from the beginning flash the stock rom, then unrevoked then R005 then backup and finally restore to R009, any other easier ways?
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
R010 is up.
[HTC Aria Android Development] zamula:
Usually I use Titanium backup and restore all system apps and data, but in this case I don't think we'll want to do that. Once I make the leap, I'm going to start with system apps just related to contacts, google, facebook, mail, sms, etc. One by one I'll restore data only and see what happens.

Of course take a nandroid backup before you do anything so you can always revert back to your last good state!
