Nothing that would have any bearing on this issue, as far as I can tell.

FWIW, I no longer believe this to be a FR008 issue. I restored an R0012 Nandroid backup I had made before I took the plunge to FR008, and I'm experiencing the same problem there.

I've done a little more research, and I believe the culprits are Hotmail and the HTC Mail app. I don't know why notifications would've cut out so suddenly when they were working before, but switching to a different mail app (like MailDroid) restores my notifications.

Regards,

Corporate Dog

I've gotten the same exact thing going on. But I never switched to the stock keyboard, then back to Swype to fix it. I just uninstalled Swype, then run the installer again. Would be good until reboot, then the same issue would repeat. I think it is on Swype's end not recognizing the ROM. So I found the ultimate solution for me. I uninstalled Swype, and am now using Smart Keyboard. Works great, and the key layout works better for the way I type (lots of numbers and ymbols). I also like the customizations (height of keys, transparency, sound, color). I know this isn't what you wanted to hear, but I just couldn't put up with having to re-install my keyboard every time I reboot my phone. Bad thing is I originally liked Swype, but attn1's ROM (FR008) is so worth it. Smart keyboard works flawlessly with it, and after customizing it, I am actually much faster with it than with Swype. Swype was just "cooler" to use.

To attn1 (and other dev's here): thank you for what you do. Other than the issue with Swype (which has been solved as far as I'm concerned), this ROM has performed flawlesly for me. I've had no battery, WiFi, HotSync, BT, or other issues some have reported. Without overclocking, it doubled my Linpack (3.76 to 7.252) and Quadrant (350 to 849) scores. With overclocking (806), it almost tripled them (to 9.221 and 1046 respectively). The whole interface is definitely snappier. Loading webpages next to my wife's stock Aria, the difference is very noticeable. Now if it could only fix the flash on the phone's camera, this would be the perfect pocket phone for me..... ;)

Thanks for FR008.

I would like to know if it's possible to remove the stock app? I tried the Titanium Backup but unsuccessful.

Thanks.
[HTC Aria Android Development] axleforce:
Ok I think I firgured this out myself, maybe this info will be useful to somone.

The addon A2SD (app2ext) changes the default location of installed apps to the ext3 partition. (You can move the catche to the SD partition too if you like). All programs you install are going there. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to choose to install on the internal storage. In the Applications Manager, these apps show up as installed in the phone.

When you choose to move these apps to the SD using the Applications Manager, they get moved from the ext partition to the regular FAT32 partition of the SD card, into the .android_secure folder. When you move them back to the "phone" they go back to the ext partition. There is no way to move the cache to the FAT32 partition.

Please correct me if I am wrong.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Shad0wguy:
It is possible, but you need to use ADB. I did this once but it caused all kinds of issues due the level of integration of that app. Your probably better off just leaving it.
[HTC Aria Android Development] voldemarv:
I successfully uninstalled facebook and stock applications. Start your phone into recovery mode, mount system partition, connect to PC and remove unwanted applications from system folder with adb or DroidExplorer.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Corporate Dog:
A quick followup:

Using an Exchange ActiveSync connection to Hotmail (rather than a POP connection) restores my mail notifications with the HTC Mail app under FR008.

[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
very good. Thanks for that.
[HTC Aria Android Development] taliesin1077:
I am experiencing this as well, and can't find anywhere this is solved. I set my phone to Charge Only. However, Windows XP loads it as a removable drive, and the phone mounts the SD card as a disk drive. At this point, I cannot listen to any of my music, of course, even though the phone still says "Charge Only, Select to change USB connection type."

Any thoughts? Would be nice to charge while listening to tunes, so my phone doesn't die on me on the way home from work.

Running FR008. Happened on earlier versions as well.

Also, ejecting the device using the Windows option to do so does not let the phone use the SD card.
[HTC Aria Android Development] barisahmet:
I experienced same thing in 07 and 08 too, but suddenly fixed itself I dont get disk drive popups anymore in windows, bu I dont know how it fixed :(
[HTC Aria Android Development] loursonbrun:
Guys, there is a much simpler way to do this: unzip the ROM, delete the APKs, zip again and flash.

I did so a last week and saved myself circa 20MBs of HTC and Google applications; some of those Google applications I re-installed via the Market, but moved to the SD card using app2sd.

Let me know if you want to get the full list of APKs I deleted.

I installed fr008 a few days ago and I'm noticing that my wireless is a bit flaky. When I'm connected, it will periodically just stop giving me internet access with any app and I'll have to turn wireless off and then back on, then everything is ok again. Anybody else seeing this kind of behavior? I wasn't having this problem on fr003, the last update I was on.
[HTC Aria Android Development] SectorNine50:
Anyone know what the "HTC Check In" package is? Saw it in the battery uses under the system category.
[HTC Aria Android Development] AlbinoAsian:
I had the same thing, but flashing the HK kernel after installing FR008 made everything better ... see the front page for the differences in kernels =)
[HTC Aria Android Development] tbone22:
My location is not working on FR008, I can use maps and it finds me fine. I turned off wifii and gps like someone posted and it didn't fix it, has anyone else had this problem or know how to remedy it.

Edit: If i use weather bug it finds my location. but the HTC weather and under the clock it doesn't show it.

Edit 2: dont know if it makes any difference but it doesn't even say "current location" on weather app.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Nutshell69:
Um..... you are supposed to flash the HK Kernal on top of FR008 :eek:

I've been doing a full wipe and installing just the

is that not the proper proceedure?

Question... my phone seems to be pulling the new market app down automatically on fr007 and 8. After it does this, anything I do in the market fc's. I've cleared the market cache and data, no difference. Anyone else seeing this? (this is with a 2 day old clean wipe and reload...)
[HTC Aria Android Development] kazerak2:
Ok, I'm new to some of this. However, I rooted my Aria with Unrevoked 3.21. Once rooted I then installed the Liberated Aria R012 ROM. Everything went very well, at the time I was unaware of a froyo ROM. To download this ROM and install it on my phone is it the same process that I did to install the Liberated R012 ROM? Download the zip file then place it on the card, and install it in Hboot mode. Now I have not read all 100 plus pages of this thread but I suppose everything on this ROM works like it should i.e. bluetooth, wifi, HTC Sense etc...

Thanks in advance guys,

Steve
[HTC Aria Android Development] Nutshell69:
Yes - you got it - and everything I am aware of works, bluetooth, wifi, hotspot, fm fadio, sms, sense, etc....
[HTC Aria Android Development] Sengfeng:
Pretty much - Be sure to do a data & delvik cache wipe.

Run an app backup with Titanium Backup or Astro (Titanium can back up app data as well if you have games. Astro gets the APK's).

FR007 has been 100% rock solid (except for whatever is plaguing my marketplace app right now). FR008 is nice due to overclocking, but some access points lose communications with the phone over wifi for some reason. If you go to the Honk Kong kernel on the first page of this post, it is a more stock kernel - no wifi issues, but no overclocking, ext4, cifs support.
[HTC Aria Android Development] kazerak2:
I know to wipe delvik and cache, but just to be sure I don't screw up. I am on the ATT network, so would the Hong Kong one be the right one to get? Which one should I get? And the overclocing is just bumping up the processor speed correct? So how does one ROM let you do it (FR008 I guess) and one ROM won't (FR007)? Isn't overclocking just an app? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks,

Steve
[HTC Aria Android Development] kazerak2:
Ok, I installed the ROM and it's working perfect, but how do you install the kernel options? This one in particular, the FR008 Default.

Thanks,

Steve
[HTC Aria Android Development] AlbinoAsian:
I think.you may have.misunderstood my post...

I had FR008 fresh install on my phone, with no issues but the WiFi issues others have spoken of, did an update to the new HK kernel. then everything was Great ;)
[HTC Aria Android Development] AlbinoAsian:
Default you already have installed, if you'd like the HK one instead the you flash just the kernel over your pe-existing FR008 setup... through ckockworkmod

I have tried fresh install removing clock widget and starting it again but nothing has worked I'm getting frustrated. Please help.
[HTC Aria Android Development] seangprice:
Hmm

Just installed FR008 and loving it! I have been using CM RC 0 for a while now and decided to give FR a try again. Battery performance has been just as good, if not better, and I'm happy that track ball wake is working. I have always loved the HTC sense, and I'm glad that many of the bugs from the earlier releases have been fixed.

Thanks for all the work!!:)
[HTC Aria Android Development] rwr_photo:
Very nice job. I'm new to smart phones. And the first day I got phone I was mad... So limited... I rooted it the next day and got 007 the 3rd day after much reading from great people on xda. I like how you keep it close to stock. I burn more battery but I weigh freedom on my phone or bad battery life... Besides it doesn't hurt to buy a car charger... Thanks for all your time invested on this.

I have yet to notice I have bad battery on 008 I just flashed it tonight.... But I know one thing, its faster!
[HTC Aria Android Development] lawrence0000:
hello , I got a new microsd card today , I have a stupid qus.

In fr008 , If i don't move the app cache to ext3 on sdcard , then you think how many ext3 space should I partition to the SDcard ?

Device won't stay off when charging

I installed this excellent ROM, but noticed that when I shut down the device and plug it into a wall charger (or my USB port), it turns "on" and displays the boot menu.

Is this normal? Is there a way to keep the device shut down and charging?

This isn't a huge deal, but I find it odd...

...
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
This has been discussed and explained several times in this forum. Search and you will find the answer...
[HTC Aria Android Development] 911jason:
Yes it's normal, unfortunately. You should charge your Aria while it's still on.
[HTC Aria Android Development] loursonbrun:
Have you tried the "Use wireless networks" setting under "Location"? In my case I have to activate that when outside the US.

I am loving FR008. Thanks Attn1 for a great job.

I had issues with overclocking on CM6, it would freeze the phone and had to pull the battery to get it working again.

Saures, take a look at this link, which may or may not be helpful to you.

If that link alone doesn't do it, try downloading the font that they posted there and then use the instructions in the Aria Superthread to switch the default Android font to that one.

Make sure you create a Nandroid Backup first, though.

Video Recording Stutters

FR008 Users​

Hi guys I'm having video recording issues using FR008. It stutters every 10seconds or so, like its not writing properly. The sound carries through fine but on playback the stutters are visible as they were during the recording. I understand it could be the SD card or other factors, and may not be the ROM at all. I wasn't having problems before on 007 with the that kernel. I'm now on HK Kernel in FR008. If anyone else especially with HK Kernel could try out their video and let me know if it stutters.

Thanks
[HTC Aria Android Development] Anti-Code:
This is how it went for me:

FR008 would abort installation with clockworkmod boot menu that came with unrevoked automatic root program. So did the Default Kernel .zip (This is on the GOAPK Gratia leak that was dated sometime in October, which has been working flawlessly for me on Aria)

What worked was when I installed ROM Manager from Market and updated ClockWorkMod to 2.5.0.1 - I don't know which was on here from Unrevoked.

Now I just installed the default Kernel from this thread (2.6.32.17-cyanogen-liberty) onto the goapk_aria_sense_2.2.1 (software number 2.32.405.1) whatever that means. I'll try SetCPU on this thing now...
[HTC Aria Android Development] Anti-Code:
I noticed this issue on my Aria with the ROM-G9-goapk_g9_2.2.zip (Oct kernel build date). It's the HTC Sense leak for Gratia.
[HTC Aria Android Development] AlbinoAsian:
thankyou for the response puts my mind at ease for now... a bit of a shame though. The source code when released would fix this then?
[HTC Aria Android Development] klyon:
My video stutters... but then it did before I even rooted the phone. And it's the same class 6 card that I had in my G1. (Which recorded stutter-free, albeit crappy, video.)
[HTC Aria Android Development] Mark02:
Sorry to be a bother guys but is the Hon Kong kernel the fix to messed up wifi? If so do I just download that file and put it to the sd card and then flash it to my existing fr008 rom? Thanks for any and all help.
[HTC Aria Android Development] the_hatter:
Yeah, that's right.

To answer a previous question, I just tested out my video, but I'm not experiencing any stuttering (using HK kernel).
[HTC Aria Android Development] Mark02:
Well I just saw there is the default Fr008 kernel that has the overclocking option and some other stuff which would be better to try that or the HK kernel? Again thanks man for the help.
[HTC Aria Android Development] FZ1Darren:
the fr008 kernel listed in the first post in this thread is so you can flash back to "stock" fr008 if you try the hk kernel and it's not for you.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Mark02:
Well it still has the same problem except now it don't even acknowledge my network and it is still stuck on scanning under Wi-Fi. I'm dunno what to do about this. I was so hoping that would fix it though. I went back to the default kernel as well the hk made my downloads run really slow and the phone was choppy acting. If anyone figures out how to get wifi working properly please let me know a solution thanks.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Anti-Code:
I am not having any WiFi connectivity problems. As I posted above, I flashed the Default FR008 Kernel onto GOAPK Gratia ROM that was already set up for this WiFi network. Used ROM Manager.
[HTC Aria Android Development] klyon:
No Wifi problems with either the cm or the hk kernals.... I only went with the hk for battery life. (It is significantly better, and I travel quite a bit.)

I'm running FR007, but for some reason, the wifi icon doesnt come on, and it keeps connecting and disconnecting. Any ideas?

Do I need to wipe data if I just want to flash the Kernal onto FR007?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Mark02:
Well I tried the hk kernel and it didn't fix the wifi issues. It made my performance a little worse downloads were slow and things just ran choppy. So I went back to the original kernel. My wifi issues are it just says scanning under Wi-Fi and says my phone is to far out of range to connect to my router and the phone is laying right beside it. I mean there has to be someone else that has went through this.

[HTC Aria Android Development] Anti-Code:
I didn't need to wipe anything before I flashed the new Kernel on my Aria with goapk gratia ROM (it's a 2.32.405.1 build version from some Asian Android community or something, so it has some odd asian apps in another language that are not useful for me). This FR008 is build version 2.35.405.2 - I used ROM Manager because clockworkmod boot wouldn't work for some reason.

I did face similar strange stuff when I was trying to install cm 6.1 on my stock aria. Reinstalling Rom manager and cwr helped me. In my second attempt I directly went into recovery and did the cm install from there after clearing cache and all that stuff manually.

[HTC Aria Android Development] kevina90:
freaky stuff are happening on my aria running FR008. My phone automatically moves applications from the sd card to the internal storage. Then anything left on the sd card will be uninstalled but the data will be saved. Also when i flash a backup, all the apps that were moved to the sd card at the time will be gone, with the data saved. Very irritating. Should I wipe and start clean?

EDIT: nevermind, my apps came back after 4 hours form boot.... weird.
