No mate. I am aware of the correct process and I tried it for 15-20 times (wipe data/cache/dalvik, flash fr008 (via install zip) then reboot).

However, after I failed so many times, I decided to wipe data/cache/dalvik and reboot, in order to "check" whether the clockworkmod is working properly.... I believe that the clockworkmod might be the issue. Could someone recommend me the proper way for reinstalling it? Then i ll retry reinstalling the FR008..

Another thought is to give up a:confused:
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
If you download ROM Manager from the Market, it gives you the ability to reflash/update ClockworkMod. There is a new version of CWM 2.5.0.7 available in ROM Manager.
[HTC Aria Android Development] barisahmet:
So in other words, nothing new? blæh :p
[HTC Aria Android Development] Gene Poole:
The main thing is that we can now have a native OC kernel for the FR series. Some people are using the HK kernel because of issues with the CM6 based OC kernel in FR008 (I haven't had any issues with the OC kernel).
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
That is a huge plus!! Thanks Gene.

Also, on AT&T's Facebook page today they have a video interview with the Android Product Manager and he said that they do have a Froyo update for the Aria in the testing lab and that the update will be coming very soon.

So looks like our little Aria is not quite done with modding after all....
[HTC Aria Android Development] fealloy:
I was hoping that this wasn't the ideal method, as I ve already done it without success. Gutted :(
[HTC Aria Android Development] grafik2:
Forgive me but could someone explain or link me to how I can install swype beta or FireFox to this rom swype says download unsuccessful and FireFox installer is only 238b and does nothin when clicked
[HTC Aria Android Development] tedkunich:
Not sure about Firefox as I have never tried it, but sign up for the swype beta program - it installs fine. I have had an issue in which swype fails to work after a reboot on the FR0008 Tom. I am now using the gingerbread keyboard because of that.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
I get swype failing after reboot on cm7, but by switching to another input method then switching back to swype fixes it - might want to try that if you haven't already.
[HTC Aria Android Development] grafik2:
In my download manager it says

<Unknown>

Beta.swipe.com

Download unsuccessful

I am registered with my email and clicking the save installer from my aria browser
[HTC Aria Android Development] woodbane:
Ditto, after a reboot, Swype is still selected as my default keyboard but as soon as I try and type (swype, hehehe) it just flashes blue and doesn't do anything.

Just selecting a different input option and changing back to swype fixes it though.

Has anyone notified the software devs about this? It is in beta after all and maybe they aren't aware of this? Or does it only happen on non-stock ROMS?
[HTC Aria Android Development] DanGeorges:
The product manager doesn't know it, but the FroYo update in the testing lab is FR008:cool:
[HTC Aria Android Development] drjim:
So we are finally getting an official AT&T ROM update. How does that benefit us who have been using Froyo thanks to attn1 for months? Is the official ROM going to be better in any way?

And any discussion of getting Gingerbread Sense for the Aria? CM7 has it, but I like Sense.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DanGeorges:
My understanding is that the official 2.2 ROM will (or may) prevent rooting, since it includes a modified HBoot.

I'm not a phone techie, so I'm probably saying that wrong, but the takeaway is that we DON'T want to install the OTA update (most of us won't see it unless we're using FR008 or the stock ROM).

If a developer can modify the official FroYo release and create a rooted version, then I am guessing it will be pretty much the same as FR008...

Any other opinions?
[HTC Aria Android Development] stone_ship:
Some people including myself were having problems with the stock browser. Download Skyfire or something else and try the link again. That's how I got it to work.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
You are correct. If you are rooted, you do not want to apply the OTA update because it will update the HBOOT and prevent you from gaining root again.

Once the OTA update is out, the devs should be able to determine if there is any difference in the Froyo 2.2 base modules versus what is already in FR008. For example, FR008 is based on Froyo 2.2 source code. There is a chance that the Aria update could be based on Froyo 2.2.1 source code (like CM 6.1.1 is) which would be great, but I'm not holding my breath, especially since the kernel source that was released this week looks to be the same version as the Hong Kong kernel is which Froyo 2.2.

If there is anything to gain from the Aria update, those of us who are rooted should wait for a Rooted version of the update or better yet hope that there will be a Liberated Aria FR009...
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
IMO, I don't think the official AT&T ROM is going to be any different than FR008 with the HK kernel.

As for Gingerbread Sense on the Aria I think our only hope is that the new Wildfire S ROM can be adapted for the Aria.

Personally I am using FR008/HK kernel right now, but once CM 7 RC2 gets here I'm switching for good.
[HTC Aria Android Development] themacman1000:
I'm curious if the official FroYo update will have a un-rootable boot loader. My dad also has an Aria and is thinking about rooting it so I want to know if I should root his phone for him before the update is installed or not.

Sent from my HTC Intruder using my finger, no, not that one, the other one
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
The track record for the world-wide Arias that took the OTA Froyo update is that it modified the HBOOT and they are now unable to root their phones. I would expect this Aria update to be no different. My advice would be to root your dad's phone now and then once the Froyo update is out, it will probably only be a matter of hours before a rooted, flashable version will be available on this site.
[HTC Aria Android Development] themacman1000:
Thanks, I'll tell him and see if he wants to root.

[HTC Aria Android Development] Sengfeng:
Oh, it'll be plenty different - in a bad way. No tethering, locked-in bloatware, worthless AT&T apps...

Sticking with what we've had for ages ;)
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
How right you are! I think the only exception might be that they will have the Wifi Hotspot app since they now offer a tethering data plan and the HTC Inspire has it. The downside to that is you would probably need a tethering data plan to use their Wifi Hotspot.

As you said, I'll stick with FR008 and take a lot at CM 7 when RC2 gets here.
[HTC Aria Android Development] bunky213:
So how long before the official rom now out on the htc site is liberated? :-D

Official Flash for the Aria!!!

Interesting, based on the video that was posted with the announcement of the official FroYo update, we may be getting Adobe Flash 10.1 or 2 support. Flash ftw!:D:):D:):D
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Untrue. The Aria just does not have the CPU instructions required for full Flash support, or support for the newer version of Sense. HTC continues to support Flash lite.
[HTC Aria Android Development] themacman1000:
Hmm, when I was on 2.1 I was using full Flash 10.1. I still have the APK if you want it. But then again, it doesn't work properly on this ROM, when I install it the browser always crashes.

Here it is: http://db.tt/3sQPiMv

Any opinions?

Sent from my HTC Intruder using my finger, no, not that one, the other one
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
You were not running full flash 10.1 on Android 2.1 or on any Aria.

There was a flash lite apk floating around that was hacked to make people think it was flash 10.1 but it wasn't.

It's pretty well documented what the requirements are for flash 10.1, and msm7227 and Android 2.1 both fall short of the minimum.
[HTC Aria Android Development] themacman1000:
OK, on a different note I have an official HTC software restore app in my PC for reinstalling Android 2.1 update 2 (I think that's the last one they had) on to the Aria. I had used it to restore my phone after I got stuck in a bootloop and had no nandroid. Could users with the official 2.2 update use it to go back to 2.1 so they could root their phones? I'm on my Aria right now but when I get to my computer I'll update this post with it.

[HTC Aria Android Development] dcarr622:
attn1, is there a chance of a new release of Liberated Aria based on the new AT&T ROM?

I understand that some work will have to be done due to some gimped features and the hboot issue (thanks AT&T!) but I think a lot of us would enjoy a fresh release off of the newest 2.2.2 base. I do have to give HTC props for building this update off of the latest Froyo source, at least they know what they are doing we can thank AT&T for all the bullsh!t.
[HTC Aria Android Development] jeebuz:
While I am not sure if people have successfully downgraded the OS to 2.1 from 2.2; it was stated that the HBOOT is not downgradable.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11659795&postcount=22

If you look at this post, attn1 has verified that it is not possible to use a gold card to downgrade and install an 2.1 RUU once you are on 2.2.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
You can check out Gene Poole's Liberated Aria 2.2.2. This is a fully rooted, flashable ROM that can be installed from ClockworkMod.

[HTC Aria Android Development] dcarr622:
Looks good, has a few problems/limitations, I'm looking for the real deal especially ungimped tethering =P
[HTC Aria Android Development] Gene Poole:
The "real deal" differs only in that it has a radio and hboot image as well as the system and boot image. If you want to do the radio, that's fine. I flashed it and I don't notice anything different, but if you flash the hboot, you'll likely never get root again. Also, flashing this over existing system but keeping the data partition intact allows portable hot-spot, sideloading and wired tether.

If there are any genuine problems, let me know. Frankly, I'm surprised at how well it worked out for me.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
No, they can't do that. We've already tried everything to downgrade these - even got the RUU to run, and yes, they had a downgraded rom - with the the exception of the new HBOOT - still plugging up the root exploit.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
No, not by me. In my opinion, the new AT&T ROM is a step backward from this ROM. I will probably update the kernel and wifi drivers in the near future for a FR-009.

When there was no choice, that was one thing (Original LA 2.1 series), but when I have an unbranded, unencumbered ROM in place, why on earth would I want to replace that with a hacked up version for the sake a lousy minor point release?

This ROM is solid, and I see absolutely nothing - no advantage - to switching the AT&T ROM and then hacking it up again to get back what we already have. This ROM is based on an official Aria Froyo release, and is solid as is.

If you want to run something else, that's absolutely your prerogative.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
FR Series and Gene Poole's rooted AT&T rom are both very clean stock roms. It's very unclear to me why you think any of these are not the 'real deal', and you really need to settle down and remember that this stuff is available to you for less than a penny.

"Good attempt" smacks of patronization, and really, Gene nor I deserve that kind of attitude.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
I couldn't agree more. FR008 is rock solid as is CM 6.1.1 and both are better alternatives if you want a Froyo ROM that doesn't have the AT&T bloatware.

Thanks attn1 for what you have given to the Aria Community. You sir are a generous gentleman.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Nutshell69:
Couldnt agree with you more tpbklake - absolutely wonderful!
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
+1 the developers in this community have given the users amazing options for improving this device!
[HTC Aria Android Development] dcarr622:
Didn't want to or mean to upset or offend anyone. I've been on XDA long enough to understand and respect the work everyone does.

I don't know what else had changed from 2.2 to 2.2.2 but I have experienced the messaging bug before on the Aria so at least that's a fix. Performance wise I don't know if there is a difference at all (on Galaxy S there were big changes from 2.2 to 2.2.1)

When I meant "not the real deal" I meant it wasn't fully "liberated' as in gimped tethering, sideloading issued, etc.

In the meantime I'm gonna stick with CM7 which is absolutely fantastic and only getting better, which reminds me, time to flash a new nightly! Thanks for all your work.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dcarr622:
Thanks for clearing up the tethering/ sideload issue, sorry for coming off rudely. I may just flash FR008 and the yours on top and give it a try! Thanks for your hard work looks fantastic. Have you noticed any performance changes at all from 2.2 to 2.2.2? Sense is identical I presume?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Gene Poole:
CM7 is really amazing, I have to admit. It's is unfortunate that my first experience in the Android would was HTC and so I'm "conditioned" to the Sense UI and find it difficult to get used to AOSP.

As for gimped options, I'm surprised that flashing this over an existing FR008 data partition resulted in all those features still working as they did on FR008. I'll have to try it again with a full data wipe (I'm pretty sure I did this on my wife's phone, but it shows up as non-gimped too) and find out what differences there are that keep the 2.2.2 un-gimped after the flash.

As I mentioned in another post, I probably shouldn't have adopted the "liberated" moniker just yet as that implies something more in the context of XDA than this first release delivers.
[HTC Aria Android Development] winstonma:
attn1 thanks for your effort. I just wonder if you have plans updating FR after Froyo 2.2.2 and the kernel source comes out?

Thanks a lot

I tried searching for my answer and can't find it. I'm currently running cm7 rc2 and would like to flash this fr008 sense rom. I have an ext3 partion with apps and dalvik on it. After wipe and format, what's the best way of getting all my apps restored? I have astro and titanium. What's the best way? Being I'm using S2E.
[HTC Aria Android Development] retired_mnbooze:
You'll want to back them up with either Astro or Ti. I'm pretty sure that:

1. You're suppose to wipe data when moving between these ROMs

2. FR008 already "ships" with dta2sd (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=790786), so other than stop using S2E, you have nothing to do there other than restore you apps

Please correct me if I'm wrong
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
well being that i moved most my apps to the ext3 partiotion, i was wondering if fr008 supports it? i only have a 2gb with 150mb ext3 partition.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
FR008 doesn't come with Darktremor's Apps2SD. Froyo has native app to SD capability, meaning no app required. However, Froyo's version only supports apps that have app to SD capability programmed into them whereas Apps2SD moves everything, if I understand things correctly.
[HTC Aria Android Development] jeebuz:
Its on the first page under apps2ext

Added back in fr001
[HTC Aria Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Then I retract my statement, since a2sd is in /system/bin. I thought that was the built-in function when I saw it, since I use the built-in function. Obviously, as pointed out to me with a bit of Google search fu, that's not the built-in apps to SD function.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
^^^^^^^^

What he said. FR008 most certainly does have DT A2SD as part of the ROM.

Boot into recovery, then from the partitions menu, select "mount system", then use adb on your PC as so:

adb pull /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip

(or skip this step if you don't care to keep a backup of the original) then install your own

adb push [my_boot_anim.zip] /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip

where "[my_boot_anim.zip]" is the name (including full path if it's not in the current directory) to your custom boot animation.

Sense 2.0 is far too large for our phones. A Gingerbread-based Sense ROM is highly unlikely, and it's not worth it for devs to build. I looked into it, but it's just not worth the effort. If you want Sense, download CM7, download the modded Sense LauncherPro, and the Sense theme, then find the old Fancy Widget v.1.3.0 on 4Shared. With the exception of, like, the apps being themed, it's identical to Sense.
