No I didn't push the entire sdcard to the device at all I simply pulled it to my desktop before creating the ext partition so I had backup of it since ROM Manager creating the ext partition wipes your sdcard.

I did the partition so that when I installed R011/R012 apps2SD would be enabled.

I really is very fast and simple just sounds complicated lol

It would ahve been even easier if I had not had to go to R011.1 and then R012 but life happens.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dallasjim:
Sorry dude, mine works fine too. I think that google location works based on ip addresses. Possibly that is your problem. If you use GPS, does that work? Having lived in Upstate NY, I dare say it may be like the Bermuda Triangle :).
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Seems to depend on where your subnet originates - almost like AT&T offloads tower traffic to other regions of the country as needs arise. Sometimes cell tower location puts me a long, long ways from home.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
Wow, I think you have done everything you can do and more. If it's that important I would just leave GPS on. I have heard people say that having GPS on doesn't put a ton more strain on the battery, just when your using it, not sure how true that is but I may test that theory. Periodic location updates may not bother your battery life too much...again if it's that important to you I would give it a shot and see how it pans out.
[HTC Aria Android Development] :
Yeah, I had always heard it ate battery. Now I know its only if you have stuff using it all the time. I've had it on for a month with no noticeable drop in battery life. Now if you do a lot of navigation, yeah it will eat it.

Don't forget to install Clockwork recovery after you've rooted using the unrevoked tool.

First page updated.

Added rooted stock rom for those who love the AT&T experience, but with root. All apps, bootscreens & noises are stock.
[HTC Aria Android Development] judicious:
i installed unrevoked, but how do i install clockwork recovery using revoked tool? or do i place the clockwork zip into sd card, then boot to clockwork recovery boot screen and run it?

i'm confused, my phone has the clockwork recovery screen..so does this mean it's already installed?
[HTC Aria Android Development] judicious:
cant flash rom

i must be doing something wrong, so i went to clockwork recovery, install aria_shipped_rooted_signed.zip, install complete, and i selected reboot.

nothing is flashed, because everything looks the same.

am i doing something wrong?
[HTC Aria Android Development] pete2275:
when connecting the phone to the computer via the USB cable and pressing the power button in step 10 i'm getting to the stock recovery screen but i don't believe the loop running the adb devices command is listing my phone. I am running win7 and on my pc monitor i get a message saying "the drivers were not able to be installed correctly" and on the phone it says "E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command"

please help :confused:
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Can you boot the phone normally, enable usb debugging and then plug in the usb cord and geet a result when you type the following from the pc?

abd devices

If so, DON'T boot the phone with the usb cord plugged in. Wait until you are ready to push power to start recovery, get the cord ready to plug in, then push power and then IMMEDIATELY plug in the USB cable. Timing here is everything, and it won't work every time.

Don't worry about "E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command".

Everything is the same, except that you are properly rooted. Now you can push the setting.db.txt file to enable app sideloading.

Now you have superuser access.

If you can boot to clockwork recovery with no computer assistance, then yes, you've installed clockwork recovery. Congrats.
[HTC Aria Android Development] pete2275:
i think that was the problem, i didn't have USB debugging enabled, so embarrassed!

this is what i get in response to adb devices:

* daemon not running. starting it now *

* daemon started successfully *

List of devices attached

i'm going to try again, thanks for the quick response!
[HTC Aria Android Development] pete2275:
i dont get it, i must be half asleep or something :confused:

step 12: it'll start to list the device as in actually listing the device by name?

step 13: hit CTRL-C to stop the loop, AND then hit Y too right?

step 15: type "adb push ota.zip /sdcard/update.zip" in the command prompt and then hit the power button on the phone??

i used to flash my TILT with a new rom every week and now i cant even root my damn ARIA... yikes!
[HTC Aria Android Development] cranked:
Same here...flashed recoveries and roms all the time. I tried the process 30 times, and had to give up for the night. Frustrating to say the least knowing it is working for others and it is obviously something I am doing wrong. Oh well, will try again tomorrow.

how to remove stock apps

Anyone know how to remove stock apps? I'm rooted, but can't seem to do:

adb shell

rm /system/app/name_of_app.apk

I even tried to delete it on my phone, it said something about read only file.

I tried to do remount, and anothing..
[HTC Aria Android Development] pete2275:
i hear ya. very discouraging to say the least,

i actually got it to show up as a listed device in step 12 but that was the farthest i got, got lost in step 15.

in step 14 i used volume down to select "Apply sdcard:update.zip" but it doesnt say whether to hit ENTER or not...

then in step 15 it says to type "adb push ota.zip /sdcard/update.zip" and then press the power button to execute. execute what? execute the "Apply sdcard:update.zip" we highlighted and did nothing as far as hitting ENTER or the power button for in step 14?

i'll type in the adb push commands without getting any errors on the monitor but on the phone it'll say aborted.

i think im just getting old...
[HTC Aria Android Development] froggyarts:
Yeah, when it says "List of Attached Devices" the line after should have say "HTxxxxxxxxxx recovery" (the x's should be different numerics).

I'm not sure about hitting Y.. but yeah that's right, stop the loop when you see that it "catches" your device (HTxxxxxxxxxx recovery). What I did was after I ended my loop, I verified that the Device was still hooked up by typing the adb devices command one more time.

Okay, this is where I got confused too. He may have typed it accidentally, but you actually just execute that command. You don't push power on the device for this step.

- PC: Type "adb push ota.zip /sdcard/update.zip" then press Enter on your PC, MAKE SURE this push was successful.

- PC: NEXT, type "adb push update.zip /sdcard/update.zip" but DONT press Enter

- Device: On the recovery screen, scroll to sdcard:update.zip. When you're ready, push the POWER BUTTON on your Device and then RIGHT after (once you see the Progress Bar on your Device behind the text) Push Enter on your PC to execute the "adb push update.zip /sdcard/update.zip" command

how to check if i installed the rom?

im curious now..how do i know if i even successfully installed the rom? the shipped rom said it should have busybox..i dont see the folder..i wonder if i just reverted back to att stock rom?
[HTC Aria Android Development] froggyarts:
Google'd BusyBox, its not exactly an Android-specific application. BusyBox is actually a collection of small tools used for Unix based operating systems. I don't think any of us need to worry too much about what to do with BusyBox, but more that it might help us with our rooted devices later on (I think?)

I think one way to know if you flashed the ROM successfully is to see if you have the application "Superuser Permissions" in your Application Menu.
[HTC Aria Android Development] judicious:
i do have superuser permission app. i guess i am rooted. :)

i dont even know how to get it or if it's an install or how to even use it. i'm def not a programmer, so i'm new to all of this. i'm still learning cmd with push and pull cmds..

do you know how to remove stock att apps? for some reason it says read only, but i'm rooted, so i should have admin rights to write files/remove files, right?
[HTC Aria Android Development] froggyarts:
I think attn1 and probably others can explain that better than I can, seeing as I haven't done it myself other than flashing attn1's custom rom that removes the bloatware.
[HTC Aria Android Development] judicious:
non market place app?

how do you install non market place app with this rom?
[HTC Aria Android Development] froggyarts:
Check attn1's guide, near the bottom
[HTC Aria Android Development] judicious:
the problem is that, the folder doesn't even exist in my phone,

/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

and the settings.db isn't in there either..
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Superuser permissions don't give you the ability to read/write on readonly filesystems.

If you want to get rid of the AT&T apps, you can just flash the liberated_aria ROM.

If you want to remove them on your own, Titanium backup (Market) is a tool that can remove them for you if you are rooted.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
What happens when the phone is booted, usb debugging is on, and you type:

adb remount

if it says

remount succeeded, then

adb push settings.db.txt /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

Procedure used to flash? What did you wipe? USB plugged in at the time?

Thank you once again, just flashed it :)

I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this, but in the IM app when I log into aim it always force closes, just wanted to give a heads up otherwise so far its running lovely!
[HTC Aria Android Development] CamthalionElendil:
I had the same problem with IM. I reflashed the firmware but didn't solve it so I remove IM completely.
[HTC Aria Android Development] 22-40:
I think it's more about the apps that use GPS rather than the GPS hardware. When running Maps or Navigation, the constant realtime updates and resulting data traffic really heat the Aria up. OTOH, sitting in the browser with google.com showing the current location (and gps icon showing up top) doesn't draw much at all.

I leave GPS (and bluetooth) on, and don't see any appreciable extra power drain.
[HTC Aria Android Development] FZ1Darren:
don't know if this has anything to do with your problem but at work we have a wireless network that takes you to a page that you have to accept conditions to get to the internet. if i have wireless on, my phone won't update weather. i can't get the browser on the phone to work with the log in page but the phone seems to think it's got access. i have to turn off wireless and the phone works normally. hope you figure out what's going on.
[HTC Aria Android Development] fastaction2853:
Okay boys and girls .... are there girls on here?

After losing an hour of my life on the phone with AT&T tech support I have determined that they are useless but friendly (if you work for AT&T please don't take offence)

Since they couldn't help me I decided to do what any tech savvy guy would do and tinker....

Here is what I got, it seems that when I am at home with my WiFi connected my location updated just fine. When I leave WiFi it was not updating at all it just thinks I am still sitting at home.

AT&T seems to think that I should warranty replace the phone "it's going bad"

but I think that if I am getting full service and pretty quick internet speeds etc. that the phone is fine.

Using the tricorder application after a reboot it shows no geographical information reaching my phone from the Mobile Network.

I seem to think that it is something to do with the H signal coming to the phone now I know it is faster and all but is it possible that my towers here don't handle phones that can connect with H properly.

I only think it is something to do with the H signal because when ever my phone goes to "E" or "G" thats when my location updates!

I am shooting in the dark I just find this issue annoying even as small as it is the perfectionist in me is nagging ;-)
[HTC Aria Android Development] stone_ship:
I think it might be your geographical location/service area. Running R012 and not getting that issue. Wifi and GPS on/off in various combinations, it always know where I am and able to update. When GPS is on it is, of course, more accurate.

This is the same regardless of H or E.

Sorry, it sounds like a bummer!
[HTC Aria Android Development] simkid5614:
Placed on sdcard went thru clockwork without usb plugged in applied zip manually by selecting it, goes thru deleting files and replaces rom stops at Bug report file fails and aborts, did wipe cache and factory data.
[HTC Aria Android Development] ngy:
hey, i'm using R012 and i gotta say, its great! love the smoothness and everything!

the only thing that doesn't work on it for me is it doesn't allow me to add another gmail account. it keeps saying i dont have a network connection (which i do) or that it can't establish a secure connection (which..... shouldn't be the case). Anyone else with this issue?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
Did you wipe the Dalvik cache in the Advanced menu? That could cause an issue if you did not wipe that.

XDA App FC after Market Update

Just did the market update to the XDA App and it FCs every time! Saw a post from a guy over in the General Android Apps section having the same problem with his Samsung Vibrant so I'm sure its not a Liberated problem!

FYI to everyone!

May want to hold off on the XDA app update for awhile. I'm screwed till its fixed... :(

Liberated LWP

Posted this in another thread and thought it would be useful here:

Seen these comments many times and wondered why people just didn't seem to know, but Live Wallpapers do work with Liberated AND SenseUI. I've been using them for quite a while, including on Liberated R012:

http://xdaforums.com/show...8&postcount=14

I use the stock HTC Sense LWP (looks kinda like bubbles) and it has not effected performance or my battery life in any noticeable way at all.
[HTC Aria Android Development] fastaction2853:
After some major Google searching it seems that this has been happening to people all over the US and the condition seems to last a few days to a month or so and then all of a sudden their phone starts accurately finding the location using the Mobile Network like nothing happened.

I can't seem to get any clear answers online since once the problem goes away for people they stop talking about it :-)

I am going to sit tight and deal, its a little annoying but as others have suggested I can leave GPS enabled if everyone is correct that it will not kill my battery unless I am using an application that is actively using it.

My hope is that it will magically go away for me too as it seems to for other people.

Otherwise I am liking R012 seems smooth, responsive etc. only had one random ROM Manager FC even though it was not being used (so I thought).
[HTC Aria Android Development] :
Hey...I've had that happen a few times too...not being used at the time either.

Re-post of Voice Dial question; I know, I shouldn't be doing this, but didn't get a response. Does anyone still have Voice Dial available in R012? It's gone from my installation. Not sure when it got taken out. Any ideas?

For sideloading apps:

Settings - Applications - Check the "Unknown Sources" box if you haven't, it is off by default.
[HTC Aria Android Development] hashbrown:
[Q] how do I know if A2SD is enabled? I used Rom Manager to partition my 16g but my internal memory is shrinking w/ every app install.

Yes, did full wipe down of everything.
[HTC Aria Android Development] 22-40:
I'm having some issues with wireless association again with R012. Not certain exactly which revs, but associating with my home router typically took a very reliable 10 seconds from poweron to the wireless icon appearing. Since running R012 it often takes 30 seconds or more. This is really similar to behavior I had with early CM6 revs, and it was fixed there. Is it possible the same issue is creeping back into Liberated now? Anyone else noticing this?
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Internal memory will still shrink with A2SD - just not as fast. This is because when applications install, they also use space in the dalvik cache, which is still on /data.

With A2SD, you can also move the dalvik cache to the ext partition as well but with a performance hit, so you should probably not do it unless you have a faster SD card than stock.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Its the newer kernel with newer BCM wireless driver. It's faster on my Buffalo router than the old driver.

CM6 had a completely buggy implementation of the newer kernel, so I backed it off until it can be fixed. This one is stable with stable wifi.

What router do you have and what firmware is it running?
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
I ran liberated 012 with dalvik on my 4GB class 4 card with no noticeable decrease in performance for a couple days. The only slowdowns I noted (coming from CM6 6.0.2.1) were when downloading/installing apps from the market, other tasks lagged more on Liberated. Didn't try the combo of a class 6 card with dalvik on the card in liberated, but that combo on CM6 build #69 seems to be, if anything, faster than the stable CM6 release with dalvik in the data partition on the device.
[HTC Aria Android Development] 22-40:
It's a Netgear WNDR3700 with the stock latest 1.0.4.68NA. The B/G band is protected with WPA2 PSK, and the SSID is not broadcasting. Phone has been solid on it until recently. Other wireless clients are fine.

I'll try rebooting the router. You interested in an R012 logcat if I notice it again?
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Class 4 is probably good enough for moving dalvik to sd. I would not think the stocker sd card (class 2) would do a very good job.

No, the hidden ssid is probably the issue. There is a market app (hiddedssid I think) that help with that. Not sure why you need a hidden ssid with the encryption your using.

Also, is does that router have dd-wrt or open-wrt firmwarm available for it?
[HTC Aria Android Development] 22-40:
The SSID has been hidden forever, and the phone hasn't had much trouble with that until recently. Yeah, it's overkill but there are reasons.

There is dd-wrt for the WNDR3700 now, but there are some significant signal issues with that firmware still and I can't afford to experiment. If and when I need native IPv6 support I will probably update it.

I'll check out hiddenssid. But I'll debug for a while longer first, to be sure. Thanks.
[HTC Aria Android Development] le nitro:
Just wanted to chime in and say thanks again, battery life is immensely better with R012
[HTC Aria Android Development] hashbrown:
I second that, the battery life has ben, phenomenal. I'm still on R011.1 and like it alot.
[HTC Aria Android Development] 22-40:
No change in behavior with hiddenssid. The app seems to do nothing but set a parameter of some sort on the saved wireless entry. And, since things worked ok previously, I don't think it was needed (or was already set).

Anyway, association, when needed, typically takes from 38seconds to 1minute 10seconds. Previous versions associated in 10 seconds flat. Frustrating.

anyone here know howto fix this problems?

That is a hardware issue. The Aria's radio doesn't support that frequency. It can't be fixed by some software update.
[HTC Aria Android Development] rlubinsk:
Radio doesn't work with T-Mobile

Does anyone else know of a radio image I can apply on top of this ROM to work with T-Mobile? Like the stock ROM, connection to the network fails with the following errors:

Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network

Error while searching for networks

But CM6 works fine, so I think it must be the radio image. Thanks!
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Two versions of the Aria are out - APAC and AT&T. You need the APAC version for 3G in Asia.
[HTC Aria Android Development] netw3rkd:
I have severed my power button when replacing the digitizer, due to a bug in clockwork mod, i'm still able to turn it on by connecting usb power, so using cm6 i can still unlock using the trackball, however it won't allow me to force roam onto another network, always says "error while searching for networks", is there a fix for that? However, using the stock R12 rom, it'll still allow me to roam, and if I read the description correctly, says that trackball wake is working, yet it doesn't work for me, any advice? TIA

EDIT:

Found a fix for my wake issue, will edit again if it works, I knew there was a thread about it, searched again and found it. As far as the radio goes, any answers are welcomed.

running liberated 12... so far so good

my first time rooting android phone, thanks attn1 :D
[HTC Aria Android Development] stickbo:
Been running r11 for about a week now and its flawless. I wanted to test all the functions and features before I reported back. Much snappier with far less lag when really bogged down with apps. My wifi and wireless tether are working phenomenally. Everything I have tested so far on this rom is perfect. Thank you so much attn1, this is exactly how the phone should have come stock. :) Probably the last rom I will flash until the stock froyo rom comes out and gets massaged.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
CM6 uses the same radio firmware - it's never changed.

[HTC Aria Android Development] dcarr622:
I am planning on upgrading from the regular version of R006 to the regular version of R012. Do I need to wipe anything (data, cache, battery stats, ect.) or can I just flash it on with clockword mod and be good to go?
[HTC Aria Android Development] netw3rkd:
I have no idea, and am in similar boat. CM6 won't allow me to change network, yet liberated does. CM6 will roam, though only when t-mo isn't available. Where I live t-mo only has gsm, att has edge, so using liberated i can force it to use att for data. :) you wiped all your caches? in liberated/stock, have you filled in the proper APN info?
