FR009 suggestion: Android 2.2.1

Ran FR008 for about two weeks. Love it specially the HTC Sense interface.

What didn't work was voice dialing over bluetooth. Well, it worked somewhat but not entirely as it can be.

Imagine you have a contact who has multiple phone numbers.

You hit the button on the headset and wait for the voice prompt.

You say "call John Doe"

A screen pops up that has the various numbers listed and you need to manually select the phone number you want dialed.

That was the only disappointing matter in FR008.

Today I had some time to kill and decided to install cyanogen 6.1, as I had noticed it lists Android 2.2.1 and not Android 2.2 as with FR008.

Lots of issues getting it to go, but when it finally installed and ran the first thing I had to try was voice dialing over bluetooth.

Here is how it works on 2.2.1:

You say "call John Doe"

Prompt says: "call John Doe at work, mobile or at home?"

You say "mobile"

There is goes dialing the mobile number for John Doe.

Perfect!

Now, the lack of HTC Sense is painful, but not as painful as a poorly implemented bluetooth voice dialing.

It would be really nice if your next version FR009 is based on 2.2.1 or maybe even 2.3.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Sultan Ali Fezar:
if you get it working I would like to hear.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Yeah, I'd like that too, but these ROMS are based on released HTC ROMS for the Aria. I can't just "base" the next Sense ROM on 2.2.1 or 2.3 without a corresponding release from HTC for this device. People keep commenting that they can't wait for an "official" release. Well this is from an official HTC release.

This is the problem with Sense - it is NOT open source - it is proprietary, and that always hampers development by those other than HTC. It's barely even Android anymore - I'd argue that it's not Android at all anymore, really.

Android based on open source is a collection of applications and frameworks that run on top of Linux. So is the HTC version. But the difference between Open Source Android and HTC Sense is vast, not just in function, but everything from philosophy to flexibility.

Hey attn1 - I finally got ClockworkMod Recovery onto the phone!!! I had to use my girlfriends HTC Incredible USB cable for some reason and went with unrevoked version 3.21 !!!

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP!!!
[HTC Aria Android Development] maevro:
I love Sense but using Fancy Widget is actually a better looking clock. Circle battery works fine, I just opt for no circle. The ugly yellow is just when its charging.

What about people who dont use the americanised date, and prefer dd/mm/yy?
[HTC Aria Android Development] bkmo:
Well that's just plain un-American.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drumist:
I'm only talking about the default setting. You would still be able to change it to dd/mm/yy of course.

I just think most of the people using this ROM are American. I wasn't even going to bring it up but attn1 was already "Americanizing" the ROM by making it use Fahrenheit, etc. I'm downloading FR003 now so it might already be changed for all I know.
[HTC Aria Android Development] blindfusion:
Incredible! I've been following since this afternoon and FR003 has been working beautifully! You are awesome, attn1!
[HTC Aria Android Development] Rors:
Hmm. I can see you point there in that you Yanks have to use the crappy AT&T software. Having a non-Yank version with stuff like dd/mm/yy, degrees in celcius and all of our U's back in words would be good though.
[HTC Aria Android Development] ndrwgn:
FR003, market broken again. Sorry Attn1, you've been zipping these out so fast, I hate to even bring it up.
[HTC Aria Android Development] shawkes:
Thanks attn1, FR003 running great so far, just cleared cache and dalvik upgrading from R012. Market seems to be working for me.

I know it will only get better from here, can't wait to see where this ROM ends up.

What data are we to wipe? I just did a nandroid backup and wiped dalvik. Trigger finger is itchy and I'm about to do it. Anything else before I pull the trigger?
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Yeah, I am running on too little sleep. I am still sorting this stuff - adding some more language support and trying not to break stuff as I go.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Sengfeng:
Am I just completely missing it, or is there no option to set a lock screen wallpaper?
[HTC Aria Android Development] FZ1Darren:
it's the same as the main wallpaper. at least i couldn't find a separate setting like on r012.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drumist:
In general:

Every time you flash a ROM, wipe the cache and dalvik cache. It's not always necessary but it won't ever hurt anything.

If you are coming from a different type of ROM (i.e. if you are coming from Cyanogenmod to Liberated), you should also wipe data/factory reset. Doing this will delete all apps and settings. It's usually not necessary when simply upgrading from one version of a ROM to another version, but if you encounter a problem after upgrading, you may want to try doing this to see if it fixes the problem.

Of course, make sure you do your nandroid backup BEFORE wiping anything!
[HTC Aria Android Development] duckredbeard:
Whoa...that was interesting. Pulled the trigger and got a surprise. After reboot I had only about 8 or 10 app icons on my home screens. Is this because I have darktremor apps2sd? (I usually have at least 5 screens full of apps)
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Nah, you're holding it wrong. Market is fine for me.

I still unable to setup "push" Hotmail in this rom as I able to in CM6. Anybody experiences the same problem?
[HTC Aria Android Development] drumist:
FR003 is great so far!

attn1, I noticed that Angry Birds shows up on the market with this ROM, but it never showed up for me when I was using CM6. Do you know why this would happen? Ultimately, I just sideloaded it on CM6 and it worked just fine, but I was curious why the market would show different results if both ROMs are froyo on the same device.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Rors:
Anyone else having problems with the ROM syncing all the time?

attn1 - I am also now running FR008 !!!
[HTC Aria Android Development] winstonma:
Hi all happy new year.

I'm using FR008. Accidentally I can't lock the screen.

I wonder if anyone experience the same problem. Fix is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Edit: I tried resetting the key lock pattern but still no luck.
[HTC Aria Android Development] kinggrowler:
Thank you for this awesome ROM! FR008 was the one that inspired me to root my phone and go for it!
[HTC Aria Android Development] AlbinoAsian:
Can you give information on how its locked. No backlight? When did it lock... after you messed with settings?

ok i need help with add soud to the boot animation for the past 2 r 3 weeks ive been trying to add the sound ive looked up and down in and out the forums and nothing works so i just decided to post here just looking for help so can someone be generous n help me out
[HTC Aria Android Development] winstonma:
1. I set the screen lock pattern

2. I lock the screen using the power button

3. I use either the power button or the bottom scroll button to unlock, and I just get back to the home screen right away (without lock screen). But I saw the lock screen come back when I reboot the device. However the lock screen failed to come up when I lock the screen.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Chr0nicDreamz:
Anyone else getting an error when updating apps that are installed on the SD card?

Check the setting under setting/security that says lock phone after... try changing it to immediately.
[HTC Aria Android Development] clickclickpc:
Here you go. It's with the circle battery blue theme with white numbers for FR008. Just flash in recovery.
[HTC Aria Android Development] zervic:
When you say lock screen do you mean the fancy little doohicky where you have to slide the bar across (or whatever it is for sense) to unlock your phone? if so, you cannot have that screen & have the lock pattern.
[HTC Aria Android Development] soulonfirexx:
Yes, I did a full wipe of everything. It doesn't really bother me. It comes on eventually and like I said, I can wait. Although I do catch it never turning on again after sleeping the phone display and checking my phone at a later time. And during the transition of Wifi turning off and the Mobile Network coming on, no calls can be made.

Also, I have found that the Wifi refusing to reconnect after a reboot was only a WPA issue. It will reconnect to a WEP network.

Nonetheless, everything else is working flawlessly and I'm too lazy to re-wipe the phone as I have everything set up and good to go. Once again, thank you for your hard work.
[HTC Aria Android Development] I_RatRod_itAll:
Ok, I've rooted my Aria using unrevoked, Clockwork is installed, I've downloaded this ROM to my laptop, how do I install it on the phone?? I assume I need an interface for my computer? Do I need the HTC drivers (I uninstalled them when I uninstalled Sync)? I didn't wipe anything out yet but the commands to do so are there on the phone. If there is a thread explaining this just point me to it... I'm new to all this and am panicking a little! I'll try to answer any questions you need to ask

MMS problem, size limit?

First of all, thanks for the great ROM, loving this one. I have had it installed for 2-3 days, and no major problems noticed by me until today. I tried to send a MMS of 353 kb size, and it says message size limit released. I thought at&t size limit was 600 kb, but when I went under messaging and tried to adjust the size limit the max allowed is 300 kb. Is there anyway to fix this? I tried searching but didin't see this issue listed.
[HTC Aria Android Development] winstonma:
haha sorry for the post. I just find out it's just settings problem on Battery Indicator Pro apps.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Bob in Northern NJ:
I have been running FR006 ddx since late October. In late November, I upgraded to the OC kernel 2.6.296, which was also modified from CM06, as is the OC Kernel used in FR008. I also flashed a separate trackball wake. The kernel update can be found in the XDA Forum thread "Sense + Froyo + OC Kernel" http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=821933&page=5. A post providing where the trak-ball wake zip can be found is on the same page. My Aria is clocked at 806, but I have run it faster from time to time.

In the above configuration I use, I also have the WiFi connection issues that everyone is reporting It does not happen that frequently, maybe every few days. I have to turn off WiFi and then turn it back on again and then everything is fine.

WHAT IS IMPORTANT AND RELEVANT TO FR008 IS:

There were no WiFi problems until I added the Over Clocking kernel and started overclocking via Set CPU. Could it be that overclocking interferes with WiFi on some level in the Aria? Both OC kernels, the one I used and the one used in FR008 are sourced from CM06 and modified to work in Liberated. Both create a WiFi issue to varying degrees of severity.

I am going to set my phone's CPU to 600/600 and see if the WiFi issues persist. I will post results at the end of the week.

ATT1, do you have a link that details the changes from release to release, other then the info on page 1 of the forum? The info appearing on page 1 appears to be a summary of sorts. I want to know if there are any other superior fixes to FR008 over FR006, other than trak-ball wake and the OC Kernel and hte Set CPU capabilities, all of which I have with FR006. I am trying to determine if there are any other major benefits that I need/should upgrade to FR008 for.

FR006 is based on a leaked Gratia ROM where as FR008 is based on a released ROM Gratia.

[HTC Aria Android Development] kinggrowler:
I have also been having wifi issues. They are new to me since flashing to FR008 ddx. I too am using the OC Kernel w/ SetCPU (@ 806). I have not experimented with the HK kernel or with disabling SetCPU....

The wifi problems happen throughout the day, and I need to manually reset wifi. It seems to happen most often after waking the phone.

Edit: if it matters, all the wifi networks I test on use WPA authentication.
[HTC Aria Android Development] kinggrowler:
I also use Tomato at home, but have never had "afterburner" enabled, and I still have these wifi problems. :(
[HTC Aria Android Development] brswattt:
Some app developers updated apps to move to sd card. Some other apps don't have the feature yet (sadly).

WiFi on the new kernel was a major problem, I just jumped to CM and didn't have a problem.
[HTC Aria Android Development] huumm:
just flash my Aria with this Rom. Everything went well but the start up (boot) screen took forever to load ... is that normal ?
[HTC Aria Android Development] j.fignole:
If you notice the at&t boot screen portion is gone. It goes from the blank HTC screen to the HTC animation screen with the writing then finally to your home screen. The amount of time it takes to boot is the same as if the at&t section was present.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Bob in Northern NJ:
I have turned off OC in Set CPU for the past 24 hours. The CPU speed has been set to 600/600 since that time. There have been no issues with WiFi waking at this setting.I have both manually put the phone to sleep, and I have let the phone time out and each time when I wake it WiFi is instantly up and running. When the phone times out, I have waited up to an hour before waking it and still the WiFi is instantly on. Each time I verify that the the connection is intact via "Settings-Wireless and Networks-WiFi Settings" and the Wi-Fi status always reports as "Connected to xxxxxxx" where xxxxxx is my network name.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Bob in Northern NJ:
I turned Set CPU back on and re-enabled all of my previous custom profiles. None of my profiles' CPU settings is above 806, and none are below 480, except for when the screen is off, then the CPU setting is 245. Sure enough, as soon as I woke the phone, (after waiting 10 minutes) the WiFi status was "disconnected". The WiFi settings shows as on, and my WiFi advanced settings for WiFi sleep is "never". However it is disconnected non-the-less, and I had to manually re-connect it as before.

Now I am going to shut off the "Screen Off" set CPU Profile setting to see if the low CPU state is causing the disconnect.
[HTC Aria Android Development] MythicBlue:
one thing that i did notice is that when my phone is plugged into the charger and the screen has been off for awhile and i wake it the wifi connection is active but as soon as i unplug it from the charger and the screen times out and i wake it again sure enough the wifi has been dropped
[HTC Aria Android Development] Bob in Northern NJ:
As of now, there are no problems with the WiFi staying connected with the "Screen Off" profile deactivated. I do not know what the default screen off CPU speed setting is in Set CPU, but my minimum CPU speed now can not go lower than 480 and WiFi is working fine.
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
First, hat's off to attn1 for all his impressive work, and let me state that this post is in no way intended to be critical.

Secondly, after quite a bit of experimentation, I'm not sure that my post here in this section is appropriate, as my problems are not limited to the FR008 ROM, but also occur after having flashed the HK kernel over FR008. I figured I would post my experiences here anyway, in the hopes that someone else has run into this situation or might have some helpful input.

Notes:

- I did not have this problem with the stock 2.1 or my rooted 2.1 ROM.

- Yes, I would love to have BT voice dialing, but that's not the issue here.

I am an avid motorcycle rider and often spend 8-10 hour days riding. Obviously, there is no ability to mess with phone settings while cruising down the interstate at 70+ mph on a motorcycle. When riding, I'm continuously streaming MP3 music from the Aria to my bluetooth helmet. Under 2.1, incoming phone calls, or helmet to helmet intercom calls between 2 riders (phone not involved), placed the music stream on pause until the phone or intercom call was terminated, and then automatically resumed music play.

After flashing FR008, and yes I did clear all data and cache prior, streaming music via bluetooth still works (initially), but incoming phone calls no longer ring in the helmet (it does pause the music) and the helmet's mobile call "answer" button doesn't answer the incoming call. If I activate the intercom for a conversation and then finish the conversation, control does not return to the MP3 player in the phone. This happens with both the stock music player app as well as Mort.

The bluetooth status on the phone does show that it's connected to "Phone and Media Audio", but there is no way to get the MP3 audio stream to work again, short of disabling BT and reconnecting.

I did flash the HK kernel over FR008 hoping that would help, but nothing changed.

I did try various SetCPU speeds and eventually removed it, but it had no bearing on the problem.

I've now flashed back to my rooted 2.1 and everything is working fine.

FYI - the helmet bluetooth system is a Cardo Scala Rider G4.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Bob in Northern NJ:
Still not having any WiFi issues with the CPU minimum settings at 480. Now that I am fairly certain that the WiFi issues are related to Set CPU configurations, I am going to flash to the FR008. Fingers Crossed.....
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Until recently, I was under the impression that the stock 2.1 Aria ran at a fixed 600Mhz. It was only after I installed the "Perfect System Monitor" widget after going back to 2.1 that I realized that the 2.1 Aria "throttles" between 480 & 600 Mhz depending on CPU load. Maybe 480 on the low end is the magic number?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Bob in Northern NJ:
Finished flashing to the FR008 ROM. All Apps reinstalled from astro backup + added the circle battery just for S&G. Everything is working fine. Configured Set CPU to a minimum of 480. WiFi and bluetooth work just fine. No issues or problems. Some noticeable improvement in performance in terms of lag experienced with previous patch work config I was running (FR006 +OC Kernel + trakball wake).

Great Job Attn1!
[HTC Aria Android Development] GroovyGeek:
Has anyone been able to get the Gingerbread keyboard running under FR008? I tried two versions and both FC immediately. Yes, I am using the ddx version of the FR008. If anybody has it working can you please post a link to the apk you are using? There are at least four of them out there and it is difficult to figure out what the differences are.

Are you using the stock FR008 kernel or the Hong Kong kernel from the front page?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Bob in Northern NJ:
Woke the phone this morning after 12 hours of sleep, with WiFi left on, plugged into charger. On waking, WiFi came right on and reconnected without any issues. I think it is safe to say that the WiFi issue is related to too low of a screen off default setting in Set CPU and not in the FR008 ROM from ATTN1.
[HTC Aria Android Development] kinggrowler:
Bob, I am still having wifi issues with the stock kernel; I have disabled SetCPU so that shouldn't be an issue.

All the networks I test on use WPA authentication. Are you also using WPA, or perhaps WEP?

I'm asking only because this reminds me of an issue I had with a laptop years ago -- when it woke from hibernation it would still show as being on the wifi network even though no data was being passed. It turned out to be a WPA authentication issue: it would somehow lose authentication after waking up.

Anyway, just curious. I'm still having issues and it's a bit vexing. :(

I am using the stock FR008 kernel without SetCPU.

I just found this thread about 2 hours ago and I've already successfully updated my wife's Aria with the Froyo ROM. Kudos and major props to Attn1. She loves the new features, like live wall papers, availability of more apps,like TV.com,which now allows her to view the Young and the Restless episodes on her phone... Interestingly enough, I took all the precautions(nandroid backup, astro backup of all apps, etc...) I did a clear davlik(or something like that) and wipe the cache and then went for the install and when it was all done, the phone was still setup with all her apps and screen configuratinos in tact. It was just like doing an OTA. I didn't have to reload anything.... Unbelievable!!! And it's working like a champ right now. It's currently connected to WiFi and working very well. Manipulating the screens and opening apps seems faster too. I like the way the UI fades things in and out when you open and close apps... How come my EVO doesn't do that??? :-)
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Your apps were preserved because you didn't do a wipe data/factory reset. You may also be missing a few features if you don't do that from stock - like the usb tether option available from the taskbar pull down. In addition, you may be subject to more oddities and problems. I really recommend that people wipe data/factory reset before going from 2.1 (particularly stock) to 2.2.
