[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] aerdely:
Here's the tutorial instructions.

First download USB drivers. There are 32bit and 64 bit depending on computer hardware.

Download rsd lite 4.6

Download Droid 2.0.1 sbf file.

Once all are downloaded install the USB drivers on computer 32 or 64 bit depending on computer hardware. If not sure try both one will work the other will fail if not the right one.

Then install rsd lite.

Place the sbf file in a seperate or new directory. I did on my desktop and still worked so doesn't really matter

Plug USB cable into device and power off if its on. Other wise when off hold the directional up keypad button and power at same time

It should boot into bootloader.

Once in bootloader and USB plugged in start rsd lite. In the middle of rsd lite window it should show the device connected.

Click on the ... button next to search bar in rsd lite and navigate to where the sbf file is. Once found it click on it.

Once selected sbf file I forgot what button said but click update, install or flash or something like that on right side of rsd lite window.

It will take a little while but once it finishes you may get a failure. That's ok I did don't worry. Just click on the line that says failed and it will extract and finish on the phone.

Once it says sw update finished or complete. Unpluge the device and reboot it. It should reboot back into 2.0.1 and your done. Should be fixed. From that point you can root if you want.

having said that, my battery life is shocking compared to theirs! I'd charge my phone at least 3 times to get what they get.. but i think im an exception to the rule.

Nah, the G9 battery was for a different district (USA?) versus Europe for the G7 battery... Specs are identical.

It seems i´m an exception too. :D

Me too... currently. I just manage a waking days use and then charge overnight at the moment... but phone is only 3 days old, so I presume this will get better.

Excellent ROM

I've been using Kimera 1.8 @ 672MHz for a long time then I saw this on forums so I flashed it. It works exactly as 1.8@672MHz except it is not OCed(no root). I say great job on this one!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] szalay16:
thats what i was waiting for :D

hhuuhuhuh first post :P omg second ;(

btw good luck for this and i hope it will be as stabla and fast and smooth and good as your 1.5 ROm was
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nomnompie:
Hey Exit, you sure adb is broken? This may sound silly but I flashed a different version of a rooted 2.1 that just came out and adb wouldn't work because usb debugging was off by default.. just a thought. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sergio PC:

Nice. I have been using kimera 1.8 for a while now.

Can't wait to test it.

Thank you so much for this light and fast rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] UnitSHIFT3R:

I have a problem. Kimera not start. Infinite Loop on the screen of HTC Quietly Brilliant ...

Anyone else happens? I did all wipes...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
Did you flash only rom or kernel too?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DanYRacinG:
Only ROM... so... should I flash the OC kernel too?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
No, you can flash it later, weird problem try to reflash and/or redownload the rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DanYRacinG:
Mmm... I Did. I downloaded again. Uninstalled ... installed again ... and the same problem: infinite loop.

It is strange yes ... the progress bar of screen "quietly brilliant" is not just filled the first time it appears. It restarts, returns to "quietly brilliant" (without bar) and after a few seconds restarts again ... and again ... and again ...

Too bad ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Debase:
I should have a download probleme, the update package verification find corrupt file, just with the Kimera 2.1

still retry

The 2.0 seems be ok, nice work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
Online file is not corrupted, a friend of mine downloaded and installed it without problems

Do you have an ext partition? if so is it ext2, 3 or 4?

Get it, no corrupted, (Low wifi connectivity ... s*cks) thanks for confirming this was my download Exit93.

And thanks for the work ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] beamdelta:
Nice work Exit93! I just flashed Kimera 2.1 and OC kernel. Using SetCpu to OC and so far no problems. Everything seems to be working.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikelyon:
Hi !! Great job !! Same to me, but why can't i select a frequency over 710 ??? I used to set 729Mhz on my kimera 1.8 and here the maximum is 710 even if i use custom frequencies ......
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DanYRacinG:
Yes. It is ext2... but I tried to flash the ROM converting EXT3 partition too ... and does not work ...

I have also a 32MB swap partition (previous flashes of old cooked ROMs) and a lot of people recommend having it to 0MB ... Can this be the problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
I have a 32mb swap partition too, and rom works without problems, anyway i remember with an older rom some people got problems caused by swap partition, try to remove it

Which app are you using to overclock? With overclock widget i get frequencies up to 768mhz
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sperug:
Problems? When it starts, remains a lot over the white htc screen. And then says it has no gapps and system not working, I say to wait and all works on... Should I reinstall? I have a swap partition in the sd, can it give a problem like this?

Later: simply reinstalled the rom. All smooth, no more problems...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GXFX:
Is this rom better than Villain 10.3 ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:

The best 1.5 ROM was Kimera 1.8 ...

What about 2.1 hehe ... :D

give you a feedback later ;P

thanks for the work :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikelyon:
I use Setcpu and indeed I can go up to 768 but at that frequency it freezes and when i select 729 it remains at 710 ....:rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] turkification:
So how is it guys? Can someone post stats like linpack and gpu?

Kimera was lways the best rom on 1.6 :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fauxdeluxe:
Awesome work. Been waiting for this one. Clocked @ 768Mhz, getting Linpack result of 3.3. :D

Fantastic!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] PulpzillA:
i was very happy with the 1.5 kimera. just wondering what the battery life is like with the OC kernel? anyone had a test yet

EDIT: does MMS work also?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkGof:
Judging by the other replies this could be a very good choice for my next Rom, but im curious. Is it possible to get jit working with this rom, or is that not feasible?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DanYRacinG:
Ok. In 10 minutes I will comment. Cross your fingers ... :D

Thank you very much for answering Exit
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
Battery life is the same because cpu's voltage does not change

Everything work, is an official update :D

I can try to make it work, but i don't think i'll do that, it would compromise stability
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DanYRacinG:
Yeahhh !! I solved it. God ... finally. I repartitioned my SD with recovery option and ... IT WORKS!

Before I had my SD partitioned manually using the program Paragon ... and may do something wrong when partitioning ...

But it works. Repartitioned, full wipe... and fly !! xD It is amazing how fast it is the ROM. Exit93 Great job!

AND THANKS AGAIN!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fatefearfighter:
why is the the original kernel also listed? Do we need to apply it?

Or is it just listed for people that try the overclocked and want to go back?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phil_UK:
Battery

Been waiting for you to do a 2.1 Exit...enjoyed your early 2.1 efforts.

Keen to find how battery life is on this. Only real failing of v good Villain Rom was battery life making my mobile not very mobile! :D

Maybe's that due to OC'ing ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jackhab:
Just installed Kimera 2.1 with OC kernel and the radio. Everything seems fine. Exit93, I'm really enjoying your work, thanks a lot!

Only Google Maps and HTC PDF Reader are missing. How can I get them back?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arnoslag:
You can download them for free at the android Market
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
Never had an fc, neither with overclocked kernel, try reflashing, if it doesn't solve your problems try reflashing after wipe

And yes, i trust bfs, i tested it on a vanilla 2.1 rom that i made for my own use for a long time

OC should shorten battery life because cpu's voltage is always the same

Anyway try yourself, i find battery life really good

@jackhab: I'll release a flashable zip for pdf reader
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ashisgreat:
apps2sd still not working for me on kimera2.1?

wiped everything, then installed 2.1 but still the internal memory goes down when installing apps. tried this cycle a few times now.

i have my sd with ext2, does it need to be 3? swap 0mb, 512mb, fat32=remaining ... ?

great rom btw, quick quick!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DanYRacinG:
The FLIPCLOCK patch of the Kimera 1.8 ... Should work in this version?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] poochie2:
You lose some space because Dalvik cache is still in the internal memory. The apps themselves are on the SD.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapc:
APPS2SD - depends on memory card

You can run APPS2SD on ext2.

I have found that if you do not have a Class 4 (minimum) SDCard then APPS2SD will not run as the memory card isn't fast enough. I had purchased a 16GB Sandisk memory card and thought it would be Class 6 or above to find out that it wasn't.

The guys at VillainROM have a script that you can run using GScript Lite (install from market) that will check whether the APPS2SD is running.

Unfortunately I was unable to post the link, thus Google VillainROM wiki APPS2SD and it will be the first hit.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jackhab:
I just had an issue with Waze navigation application. Every time the app tries to download the map file it hangs in the middle of the process and causes phone reset after a while.

Fortunately, I backed up before adding OC kernel, I rolled back and it worked fine so I suspect there is a major stability problem with the OC kernel.

EDIT: The resets happed before I even get to install OC widget.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kasmq:
Been using this rom for a day now. 2.1,OC kernel with BFS and radio update, no a2sd -610 Mhz.

Pretty stable. Baterry life is good.

Dislikes: Screen lag is pretty big and every menu is laggy. (had Cronos for 2 days pretty fast when it comes to screen responsivness ).

When changing melody using headphones i get 2-3 seconds of lag

The phone froze one time while playing. it kept playing but screen wouldn't turn on and no buttons worked.

My 2 cents.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DanYRacinG:
A strange thing I've seen with this ROM ...

When I turn off and turn on the phone ... it opens up many applications in the background ... even applications that had not opened before ... consumes lots of RAM (30MB free leaves only) I have to close them with Taskiller.

Why is this happening? :(

"P.D.: And sorry my poor english... XD"
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikelyon:
I have a FC using Voice search on desktop or google map as well
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fauxdeluxe:
A few strange bugs, but tricky to replicate. For example when loadnig pages in the browser, the screen will flip back to home and the app will reset to it's default state. This has happened a few times now. It did also reboot itself once randomly whilst browsing.

Other than that, no lag, really stable. A2SD works fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
Maybe but you would lose weather effects

this problem seems to be caused by waze crash

Do you have enough free ram?

Have you ever used that nav on a 2.1 rom?

Weird, everything is smooth for me, try to close useless background apps

I guess you mean at startup, just set autokiller to aggressive or use autostarts to choose which apps should start when you turn on the phone

Didn't test browser yet, testing right now
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DanYRacinG:
Thanks Exit93 !!

Give you a pressent XD A capture of a linpack test with Kimera 2.1 (without OC kernel). The fastest ROM with oficial 2.1 WWE that I've tested so far !! (2.33 MFLOPS) :D

Data folder empty when accessing through adb

Hi guys,

I need some help there.

I'm trying to get back some configuration files back to my Hero after changing to the new Kimera 2.1.

While the superuser rights seem to be alright on the phone (Titanium backup ok), while I get the superuser "#" when launching an adb shell ...

the adb shell cannot display the content of the data folder.:mad:

I just checked also with Astro file manager and I cannot see as well the content of data.:confused:

Could anyone teach me the way forward ?

Thanks,

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fallos:
with overclocked kernel phone give me 3.10m @ 653mHz.. but little luggy. slow start up. laggy screen change. back to original kernel.

maybe you have another kernels to try? tried bens39 nobfs from villainrom10 - no luck - phone didn't start , only HTC logo.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikelyon:
Yep, same think for me : lag on changing screen and slower than other 2.1 roms even at 710
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
This should be the fastest kernel, we don't have official kernel sources, htc didn't relese it yet

I can browse data without problems, only in recovery i get some problems, if you want to browse data/app just go in /system/sd/app

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jackhab:
I've never used this Waze on 2.1 ROM but the situation in which Java application running without root access causing the phone to reboot seems quite strange to me.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bo$s:
Great ROM :) I was using yours Kimera based on 1.5 and it was very good :) Now I'm using Kimera 2.1 and it's fast and stable! Conratulations :)

My propositions for develoment:

- dropbear (like in newest Modaco r5)

- kernel with 2-3 frequencies beetwen 710-768 (fe. ~730, ~750)

- non-BFS kernel (on Cronos droid BFS caused less smooth scrolling and unlocking, please check this)

- friendstream app/widget

- HTC Sense (not Genie ;)) news/rss widget - screen (I saw it in Cronos Droid)

- optional JIT (it can work with Sense)

- live wallpaper support for Sense (minor, because it slows down and causes problems)

Well, he means that there are frequencies above 710 Mhz which actually work quite well. For instance, 749 Mhz works for most of the people and 768 Mhz works for a few lucky ones. :)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bo$s:
Thanks for answers, I'm waiting for 2.2 :D

About more frequencies - like barretta_bg said :) On OC kernel there is 710 MHz freq, and next one is 768 MHz. I remember that my Hero worked very well on 729 MHz so I ask to add this frequency (and something near 750 MHz) to OC kernel.

i think this is one of the best 2.1 ROM here :D

This great ROM really needs much more exposure :D

Flashed the non BFS Kernel and it is indeed more responsive. Slightly less on Linpack score now: 3.125, but hey.
