Hmm ... I've done the procedure to root and have ClockworkMod Recovery installed, per this instruction here.

xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7449486&postcount=1

Next, I follow your instruction here:

I installed Unrevoked 3 Recovery Reflash Tool for HTC Aria to accomplish this. Reflash puts my phone into the ClockworkMod Recovery mode from where I then ran the backup.

So, now this step ...

I chose the following below:

I had that on my SDCard and went into ClockworkMod Recovery and installed it. Things went fine and then I rebooted.

All seems okay ... except a few things.

Superuser just gives me a blank page.

No option to uninstall the AT&T/HTC apps.

Don't see Busybox installed.

Anyway, I'd appreciate any help in figuring this out. My phone runs just fine, but I suspect it's probably because the installation was not complete somehow.

Liberated - Editing Settings.apk

Hello again,

after many shots with editing the a010 Settings.apk I decided to go back and try the same method on Liberated B005.

again, the process worked on all the files I tried except for Settings.apk.

After decoding it using Apktool (with or without the -s) and building it again (without editing or adding any file) I get an error: "The linked program is no longer installed of your phone" when I press the "settings" in the menu.

I'm using the framework files from Liberated.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
[HTC Aria Android Development] MortICi:
Can one of you fine gentlemen, get me the init.rc and init.xxxx.rc file from the rom?

Do the following:

adb shell

su (if needed)

cat init.rc > /sdcard/init.rc

cat init.xxxx.rc (might be latte might be trout or some other. i don't care for init.goldfish.rc) > /sdcard/init.xxxx.rc

and upload them or heck even pastebin.ca it. :)

Thanks!
[HTC Aria Android Development] ocswing:
A lot of these answers already exist if you do a thorough search.

Superuser will remain blank until an app actively requests superuser priviledges.

Busybox isn't an actual app. It's a set of tools that gets put into folder in /system/xbin I believe. It's basically a repository for apps to be able to access.

There will not be an option to uninstall those apps. The Aria_shipped_rooted ROM already has the ATT bloatware removed. HTC .apks are generally considered system apps and you'd have to go through ADB to remove them, which is not recommended.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Gene Poole:
It's "init.liberty.rc":

This is posted in the wrong section.
[HTC Aria Android Development] MortICi:
Your my hero :)

Thank you!
[HTC Aria Android Development] IpDo:
dunno why you think that it's unrelated to this forum..

Anyway,

I kept trying - seems that the problem is with Apktool or with the way i'm signing the apk (the same way that I use for all the apk i'm editing).

I've tried another thing - to use "adb install" on Settings.apk (i know it's not the way, but i'm stuck) and got strange output:

G:\AriaUI\adb install Settings.apk

1875 KB/s (1094517 bytes in 0.570s)

pkg: /data/local/tmp/Settings.apk

Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE]

If I try to "open" Settings.apk from /system/app/ using ASTRO - it shows as if it's not installed in the system and offer me to install it (which of course, fails).

Again, any idea will be welcomed :)

Thanks.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DKuntz2:
Out of curiosity, is it possible to add other apks to the rom, and if so, how?
[HTC Aria Android Development] discoceris:
I can confirm that the ROM still had the bloatware installed. I had to use the alternative method of removing the apps using ADB (mounting the system folder) Something is still draining the hell out of my phone's batteries and memory and it doesn't seem to be the AT&T apps. Unfortunately, Adv App Killer hasn't found what app or apps is causing this problem. I am convinced that HTC's own apps are resource intensive and if I can figure out which I need and don't need, I might be able to free up some resources. Anyway, thanks for the reply.
[HTC Aria Android Development] crispien:
Thanks for the liberation

Hate that AT&T crapware
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
That ROM is only rooted - all of AT&Ts apps are still intact. I don't know why - some people wanted one like that.

The liberated_aria ROMS have the AT&T software removed.
[HTC Aria Android Development] ocswing:
Thanks for the clarification. Heh, I knew that, just wasn't thinking properly when I posted :(
[HTC Aria Android Development] NotATreoFan:
Because your issue is with a particular ROM, you should post in the related ROM thread and not create a new one. I've merged your post for you this time.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Your problem is that the apk will not work without being signed with HTC prod keys, which they are not about to release.

There is an outside shot that it may work if:

Someone successfully deodexes the HTC ROM, including settings.apk

Someone figures out how to do the work without ever extracting the zip file and the signature.

The end result really wont be very stock anymore, but that's okay. The Liberated Aria ROM is basically for people that want as close to a stock HTC experience as possible without having to worry about stability issues that are not evident on the stock ROM. That doesn't mean there can't be another alternative - something highly customized - based on the stock ROM.
[HTC Aria Android Development] acedj123:
Greetings attn1,

I know you have been busy with the CM6 project, I too am looking forward to the next release of the Liberated ROM. Having wireless tether in access point mode would be a huge help over ad hoc.

Just wanted to let you know there is still interest in this ROM!
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
I have been working on the next release - including that feature and more.
[HTC Aria Android Development] ycode90:
I prefer this ROM sense is why I got the Aria . Keep up the good work .
[HTC Aria Android Development] cdinz:
Ur God!!! Thank You So Much For Everything, attn1...

Any ETA?
[HTC Aria Android Development] sentinel79:
I second this. Even with the amazing speed and customization options in CM6 I still miss normal gallery (3d seems so unnecessary) and the unmatched text selection functionality in Sense (the little magnifier with draggable pins).

Maybe there will be a Froyo Sense update from ATT ... crossing my fingers.
[HTC Aria Android Development] ycode90:
Yes wthout sense it's kinda like a downgrade. Patiently waiting for some froyo sense mmmmmmmm.
[HTC Aria Android Development] sentinel79:
yeah I'm gonna do a nandroid and recover my liberated install.
[HTC Aria Android Development] eortizr:
I agree... I gave it a shot at CM6 and it was good...but it can compete with Sense... I just used the OC Kernel with Liberated and is a happy medium between speed and functionality
[HTC Aria Android Development] mosamjc:
Does wifi work with the OC kernel on liberated? If so, which version of the kernel?
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
HTC has already committed to Froyo for all phones released in 2010. This means the Aria will get it. It will probably hit Asia first - since the phone there is not branded. That means an HTC Sense version of Android 2.2 without AT&T meddling should be available before AT&T releases it for their customers. I think we'd be better off with the Asian version, which will no doubt have the option to install market apps left on the applications settings menu where it belongs. When it hits, all I'll have to do is extract the ROM from an update, root it and make sure we have IME and language settings we can use.

HTC Sense is not my cup of tea, but I know there are people out there who are big fans. Even so, I am anxious myself to see how this little bugger will run on HTC's version of Froyo. It should be fun times, and the release of that HTC ROM may give us some better bits with which to fine tune the CM6 version as well.

Matter of opinion. I think Sense is a huge downgrade from AOSP. To each their own.
[HTC Aria Android Development] ycode90:
Well you know what they say about opinions.... Either way thanks to every one who puts their time and effort into developing theese ROM's for the masses . You guys rock . I wish I was smart enough to wrap my head around all this stuff and learn to cook.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
You can always add that one back in. I didn't want any of them.

okay, time for some rest. I've had my Aria less than 24 hours and I haven't moved much.

I am impressed with this little phone.
[HTC Aria Android Development] jasonyump:
flashed it and it works great :) just a question. how difficult would it be for someone to create a clean stock 2.1 rom for the aria? i want to do it, just coming from zero knowledge of creating android roms i wonder if id be able to?
[HTC Aria Android Development] panda703:
when i enter this into cmd.exe

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

i am getting permission denied. I rooted the phone earlier, any ideas?
[HTC Aria Android Development] fluffyarmada:
Whenever I got it working, I pushed it to the /sdcard/ directory on the phone with

(on computer) $ adb push settings.db.txt /sdcard/settings.db

then did

(on computer) $ adb shell

(on phone through adb shell) $ su

(on phone through adb shell) # mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtblock3 /system

and then

(on phone through adb shell) # cat /sdcard/settings.db > /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

and then reboot

(on phone through adb shell) # reboot

Hope that helps. I know I had all sorts of trouble trying to use adb to push anywhere that wasn't the sd-card or the data partition.

edit: Just in case this is confusing, this is *all* typed into your command-prompt window.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
"adb remount" works when the phone is booted up and rooted. That mounts the volume read-write.

otherwise, that works too.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Not sure what yo mean by "clean stock".

If you mean non-sense ASOP, that's harder than you might think because Sense is more than just a skin. HTC has modified a lot to make it work, and it's the changes are integrated into the framework to an absurd degree. Those kinds of ports seldom don't have issues introduced with devices like bluetooth, wireless or cameras.

If you mean an unbranded HTC Sense ROM, we're in the process of figuring the answer to that question out.
[HTC Aria Android Development] ahren37:
at&t rom

i know most who play with cooked roms aren't worried about returning to the att one that ships with it, but is there a way to get back to it if necessary?
[HTC Aria Android Development] panda703:
@attn1 and fluffy thanks alot !
[HTC Aria Android Development] bowtieguy:
This is my first Android phone. Can someone point me in the right direction on installing this custom ROM?

Thanks in advance!!
[HTC Aria Android Development] eugene373:
Wanting to Build a Kernel, but need the config.gz form you guys..
[HTC Aria Android Development] alton987:
How?

Sorry but how do I load this rom onto the device?
[HTC Aria Android Development] kirbo20:
How do I install this? I tried using the update.zip method to the sd card but it wouldn't work. Thanks
[HTC Aria Android Development] alton987:
me too

Some type of error message flashes across when it read the SD card but I cannot read it fast enough.
[HTC Aria Android Development] HDCS:
ROM feature request

So, can we get Live Wallpapers to work on the phone with a new ROM? I'm wondering why those aren't working. Likely performance reasons, but I'd like to give them a try anyway.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
I'll update the first post. You need to install from clockwork recovery. Loading that is the first step to root.

You can follow the root guide as far as getting clockwork loaded, then apply the zip from clockwork.
[HTC Aria Android Development] _Opiate_:
You guys have to root before you can do anything like this.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
They'll run, but live wallpapers are huge resource/battery hogs. I won't even run them on my N1.
[HTC Aria Android Development] HDCS:
I've installed several but they just don't work. All I seem to get is a static image out of them.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
No, you just need to load clockwork recovery, which is the first part of the root process. installing this ROM will provide root.

I think someone with an Aria has already done this. You need to install the livewallpapers apks first.
[HTC Aria Android Development] alton987:
Clockwork?

i installed clockwork from the marketplace but it keeps given me errors becasue i haven't rooted the phone?
[HTC Aria Android Development] eortizr:
I'm running v1 oc768-cm-2.6.29.6, my wifi works just fine, even wifi tethering is working, about the Sense interface... I like better the ADW launcher... but there are those little things that make sense better... like copy/paste... in Froyo is a PITA to select text... and it is so easy on Sense... and the Camera and video interface is also better... and yeah... Flash Lite... is not Full Flash... but God I hate that blue box on the websites...
[HTC Aria Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
What is asop im a newb here . Love your work attn1 . Also new release rom I cant download with out a pass and log in
[HTC Aria Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
Aosp I mean and can you link for me so I can check it out please.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
The link is ready - no password required now.

AOSP is Android Open Source Project. Google is your friend.

AOSP is pure Android, just the way Google intended it to be.
[HTC Aria Android Development] hi2u2:
With R1, wifi tether does not seem to be starting in infrastructure mode, according to the log.

It also shows up as an adhoc network still in the wireless network browser in windows.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
gah - I just verified. You are correct. I am working on it.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Sorry about that. R002 is posted, and verified wifi tether working in AP mode.
[HTC Aria Android Development] sentinel79:
Is there any way to port the CM Power Control widget to this Liberty build?

Extended Controls only supports up to 6 buttons (with a gap separation) in a 1x4 spot compared to CM which I think is somewhere around 8+ with no gaps.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Maybe, but it's not happening. This is the end of the line for liberated_aria. I will be doing fixes only - no more features. The idea for this one was to provide as close to a stock HTC Sense experience as possible - free of AT&T software and properly rooted for Wireless Tether. It's there, I think.

However, look for another ROM based on this one. Everything is on the table for that one.
[HTC Aria Android Development] hocplyr98:
Is it possible to remove at&t's method of locking down third party installations?
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Yes, see post #1 regarding sideloading.
[HTC Aria Android Development] zamula:
How long should the initial boot take for R2? I went right from B3, and the boot screen has been repeating the animation for about 5 minutes now. After the first time it did this, I went into clockwork and deleted the caches, but that hasn't seemed to help.

Fortunately clockwork allows restores from backups created in ROM Manager, so at least I could recover.

I'm going to attempt it again now and will report back.

Update....the same thing happened. I t gets stuck in and endless cycle at the "quietly brilliant" animation; a few seconds after the animation stops, the screen blanks, and the cycle repeats.

Do I need to do a full wipe for this to work?

Thanks for any help or advice!
[HTC Aria Android Development] Freemantig:
sideloading workaround didnt work

i followed the instructions in the sideloding post and after "echo update secure set value = 1 where name = 'install_non_market_apps';|sqlite3" i get an error and i still cant install non-market apps.

its says

Error: near line 1: no such table: secure
[HTC Aria Android Development] Buzz25:
Having problems connecting to my home wifi with R2. (Installed R2 with full wipe) CM6 doesn't have a problem, nor does Liberated B5. I've even done a Nandroid restore back to both of these to verify that I wasnt having connection problems. Only seems to appear when running R2. I can see my Wifi and the phone will attempt to connect, but gets hung up on obtaining IP then eventually fails. I've also reset the router, cleared the DHCP list, tried setting the phone up with a static IP, and even temporarily turned the wifi security off, but nothing seems to be working. Any suggestions?

Awesome work Attn1! I've been switching back and forth between roms for a while now and havent had any unexpected glitches until tonight. :p
[HTC Aria Android Development] new2droid:
Wifi :(

My wifi is unable to connect after using the Liberated rom. Is this normal? Did I do something wrong? Plz help!
[HTC Aria Android Development] new2droid:
I was having the same problem. Try to sudo it. If that does not work, give write permission to the folder which has settings.db. I did chmod a+w directory_name and it worked.
[HTC Aria Android Development] 22-40:
Looks like there is a typo in those instructions. You need to specify the database file to the sqlite3 command. Try "echo update secure set value = 1 where name = 'install_non_market_apps';|sqlite3 settings.db"
[HTC Aria Android Development] shawkes:
R002

Just wanted to post my results so far from R002. So far wifi working unlike some previous posters. I updated from B005 without doing a reset and everything seems to be working out of the box. The only precautions I took was verifying the MD5 sums after download and after coping to sd card.
[HTC Aria Android Development] hi2u2:
Using R1, I've been experiencing lockups where the phone hangs at the unlock screen, and pressing power to turn off the screen simply relocks the phone without turning the screen off. Eventually the screen turns black and gets stuck.

This only happens when wifi is on.

EDIT: R2 seems to have fixed it...we'll see.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Thanks. I corrected the instructions. I reformatted them to make them clearer, and in the process screwed up a cut and paste. oops.

Another early morning faux pas. I was working on too little sleep when I posted R001 - right idea, wrong execution. R002 should be a lot better. I cannot detect any new wifi issues here in R002.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Buzz25:
Still having problems with connecting to WiFi this morning. Not even getting notices for networks even though I have it set to notify. I'm totally stumped on this one.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
And I am still not. I have a couple of different access points around, too, and everything is normal.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Rockwig:
I must admit I'm having some weird WiFi behavior as well. I update to R002 yesterday, from R001, did a clean wipe (cleared everything). Reset up everything and everything was working fine, while at work. I got home last night and found and connected to my home network just fine, then randomly I could not connect to WiFi at home any more. It could see the network, but would not obtain and ip address (as others have stated)

I tried multiple things, fresh install, restore back up, clear cache, not clearing cache, ect... I even went as far as double checking the settings on my router.

The only thing that would allow me to connect to my home network was going back to b005. So, this morning, running R002, not connect to Wifi at home, but still on and trying, I went to work. To my surprise I can connect to the wifi here just fine.

So from what I can tell, it can obtain and IP address here, but not home. I'm sure they have different routers here then my Dlink G router that is 5 years old, so maybe it's router specific?
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Possibly. Are you using encryption? I back up my access point configuration so that I don't have to set it up all over again every time I wipe. It's a PIA to re-enter strings every time I wipe otherwise - and I wipe a lot more than the average bear.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Rockwig:
Currently no. I'm filtering based on MAC address. I even opened it completely up, like another poster, and it couldn't obtain an IP address.

It will get past the "Connecting" phase, but fail on the "Obtaining IP Address..." and come back with the message "Unsuccessful".
[HTC Aria Android Development] Buzz25:
Ditto. And with the router cleared, it will show the ip assigned to the phone but is still won't connect.
[HTC Aria Android Development] hi2u2:
everything running smoothly with R2, thanks a lot for a great job :D

Care to let us in on some info regarding this "new ROM"?
[HTC Aria Android Development] new2droid:
I restored my last nandroid backup. Then this morning at work decided to try again and the wifi is working with the open wireless at work. Have to check if it will still connect to my home router with WPA2. Will do that this evening.
[HTC Aria Android Development] lieberman54:
I have the exact problem described by Rockwig when using RC002 and attempting to connect to my home Wifi network. No prior problem with Liberated builds or CM6.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Okay, so we need to figure out what's different.

Those of you having trouble:

What router Make/model are you using?

Are you using the stock kernel or the overclock kernel?

Did you clear cache and dalvik cache before flashing R002?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Rockwig:
Dlink DI-524 (I think, I'm not home currently)

Stock Kernel (I won't have mentioned it had I been OC'ing)

Yes, I cleared everything.

One thing I did notice (that I just corrected) was that some how my device was no longer allowing me to sideload apps. So, I have now corrected settings.db to allow me (per the first post). Not that I think this is the issue, but I will report back once home.

Edit: home now. Still unable to connect.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Buzz25:
2Wire 3800HGV-B wireless gateway. All caches were wiped. Have done a complete fresh install as well as flashing over previous liberated just to see if it made a difference. And not using OC kernel.
[HTC Aria Android Development] lieberman54:
Ctr-350 usb modem wireless. Wiped completely prior to flashing.
[HTC Aria Android Development] new2droid:
still no wifi

My U-verse router, same 2wire I think, no connection (WPA). I did not wipe anything before installing.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tomlogan1:
Wireless connection issues

Just installed the 02 ROM and battery life is great. My only issue thus far is connection to my Linksys router. It is configured for WPA2 PSK and this new ROM will not connect. It sees the router and when I cut and paste the password and hit connect, it will not connect. It does connect to other routers in the area that are not secured in any way. I have connected with prior ROMs including the various builds of Froyo as well as the beta versions of this ROM. Is there anything I can capture and send to perhaps help in the event that others are having the same issue?
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Are those of you unable to connect all using WPA encryption?

Have you tried resetting the access point/router?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Rockwig:
No encryption, just MAC filtering. I even disabled that, so ANYBODY could access the router, and still nothing.

I have restarted the router many times.

I was playing around with the router this morning and noticed that the router it self doesn't have a problem detecting the device, it was actually showing as connected, but the phone was not connected. I also tried assigning it a static ip address, but that didn't work either.

I think I'm going to try one of the other kernals floating around and see if that works.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Buzz25:
Can not connect with wpa or even with it set to a open network. Router was cleared and will asign a new ip when the phone tries to connect again, but the phone still fails connection.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dallasjim:
+1 more. I restore backup and connect with no issue???
