Congratulations on fixing the kernel issues, attn1!

I have a quick question: as someone who will not be overclocking, is there any advantage to the cyanogen kernel other than that?

(The fr008 with the original kernel is working great; and I do use the radio; thanks for providing the in-between fix...)
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
The kernel from the pre-release ROM leak did not support ipv6, so Google Goggles was broken. It's fixed in this kernel, along with tun and ext4 support, cifs and nls_utf8 modules, trackpad wake and a host of other enhancements.
[HTC Aria Android Development] klyon:
Many thanks for the quick reply. I wish I understood it more fully (if I get a chance I'll look up tun, cifs, nls_utf8...) but it sounds all right to me. I haven't loaded goggles on the aria, but I used to have it on my old G1; it could be useful.

cheers.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dallasjim:
attn1, just curious but can you briefly explain how you fixed it? I am just a level 5 geek on a 10 scale.

Thank you again for your efforts! I too would like to buy you a beer, coffee, etc.
[HTC Aria Android Development] gdseven:
Thanks attn1!

Flashed it as soon as I got off work... bluetooth works! wifi hotspot works! exchange works!

Awesome!

Now I just need to figure out how the apps2sd stuff works and I am golden.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
What, this?
[HTC Aria Android Development] dallasjim:
The issue with the kernel.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
That makes sense to a level 9 geek. :D Don't know about a level 5 though...:rolleyes:
[HTC Aria Android Development] Gene Poole:
Working great! Thanks ATTN1. I missed bluetooth; chatted for 15 minutes during the drive home. I compiled my custom config just fine and works with my rather bizarre setup. I cut out some stuff I didn't need, put IPV6 in a module, hard-coded kernel to 768000 and some other stuff.

Great Job ATTN1!

FR008 RC0 to FR008 RC without clearing cache or settings. FM radio now working, other things that were already working for me such as superuser rights and trackpad wake still working great.

Is anyone else noticing connectivity problems when running certain apps on the newest release, namely certain instant messengers like the main yahoo client, ebuddy, or Im plus? If not then something borked up and I'll try a complete wipe and app reinstall. The browser, Pandora, gmail and every other app I use regularly work except for the aforementioned group.

Anyone have Swype working on FR008? That's a dealbreaker for my buddy, if it works, I'll be flashing FR008 on his phone tonight.

Not sure if everyone gets as cold a reception in IRC as I did yesterday, but if so, that may be why you don't get as much participation. Didn't see anyone talking, so after about 5 minutes, asked if anyone was there and if it was okay to ask a couple questions. Got yelled at for asking. Then someone else told me my nick was too hard to type and I needed to change it. I just left rather than stay there and act like I was in high school all over again trying to talk to the cool crowd.

Granted, you weren't involved in the conversation attn1, so not saying it was you. As everyone else has said, I appreciate all of your hard work and your responses to questions here at XDA. Keep up the good work!
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
On Swype:

Makers of Swype refuse to distribute through Android Market

Their distribution method is complex, convoluted and often broken

Every version that ever worked on the Aria at all came as an expiring beta

I won't support a buggy, expiring moving target

I won't support it because they refuse to support us

I never liked it anyway

You asked a hot button question because swype is so crappy and impossible to support properly. No, the response was not what you wanted, nor was it overly polite. Sorry about that. But that question in that channel is the equivalent of a kid asking "are we there yet" every 30 seconds of a 6 month continuous car ride. Give the guys in there a break.

Regarding your IRC nick; there was another Jason in there, so autocomplete was cumbersome. Using 4 or 5 a's in jaaaaason was a tad cumbersome. Again, the approach to the issue was less than cordial.

Bottom line is a lot gets done in IRC, and a lot of clowning goes on too. No one is paid and you won't find a professional group there, but for the most part, the guys there are fun and helpful if your patient enough to seek them out when they have time. Or just hang out and see what really goes on. Anyone is welcome, just bring your sense of humor and you'll be fine.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Droid Mania:
I haven't experienced any connectivity issues at all with wireless or Bluetooth with this newest build.

However apps2sd is making me want to throw the phone in the microwave and watch the fireworks. My SD card is formatted, I've tried 3 reinstalls, and /nerdrage begins because I still haven't got it working on this ROM
[HTC Aria Android Development] Noz85:
Everything seems to be working good.
[HTC Aria Android Development] zedbra:
for those of you having problems with "Swype" keyboard, i too could not get it to work on any 2.2 ROM so i switched to SlideIT. Works for me!!:D

props to attn1(and whoever helped) for getting the bugs worked out for FR008. Cheers M8:)
[HTC Aria Android Development] AkumaMax:
Just wondering if there was any chance in the future to incorporate the supposed Bluetooth handsfree calling stuff that was released on 2.2? Would love that when I'm in my car. Headsets are a law in the state of ILLINOIS. BTW Great work love your rom just wish it had this feature. If you are not sure what I am talking about let me explain. When I press my bluetooth headsets button a screen pops up "Voice Dialer" When it should say something like "Bluetooth Dialer". Then I speak what I need done(I.E. Call Tom) and it should call even though I am in the next room and my phone is in my coat pocket in the next room.

Thanks,

Speaking of irc, I just did a search and couldn't find out what the irc page is for xda. I may be stupid..
[HTC Aria Android Development] GenEwic:
hmm i've never had any problems with swype with any of the FR roms or the liberated eclair roms :confused:

I just wiped and flashed to FR008 and everything runs fine. seems to actually run faster for me and even faster after trying out the settings to OC. I even noticed the new marketplace after I flashed.
[HTC Aria Android Development] 911jason:
I never ended up asking any questions after the two responses I received. When I first logged on I tried to use my username from here 911jason but it wouldn't let me, I figured Jason was probably already being used, so just threw the aaaa's in there to avoid a duplicate. There was zero activity in the room, so I didn't realize anyone would feel it even necessary to type my name for any reason. I do understand that no one is paid, and I thought I was overly polite in my approach. Apparently Trixie was having a bad day or something, at least I hope that's not her typical attitude.

I'm happily using Swype on CM 6.1.0 running 2.2... no problems at all.

I used the link in attn1's sig --> http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#liberatedAria

Does that mean Swype is working fine for you on the newest FR008? Sounds like that's the case which is awesome, thanks!
[HTC Aria Android Development] GroovyGeek:
Swype has worked for me on FR007 and FR008_RC2. About to try FR008 final.

The link in the FAQ is suitable for people familiar with the inner workings of Android. I am fairly computer-literate and have even coded for a living 15 years ago, but the explanations in the FAQ still read Greek to me. Here is a FAR better explanation

I'm sure it was either just me or it was a bad night for the other person, no biggie.

As for Swype, runs great on FR008, thanks guys...
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
This is a common complaint about HTC Sense ROMs and Android 2.2, - voice dialing from Bluetooth is just not properly implemented. Google needs to fix this, and may have in Android 2.3. We'll know soon enough.

There are 2 kinds of apps2sd supported - native Froyo and apps2ext. How is your sdcard formatted? What makes you think it's not working?

I have this rom installed, and I am trying all the methods I know to get the trackball wake working. I am not having any luck. It wakes for a few seconds after screen off, but after that you need the power button to wake it.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DarkFlasher:
Is there any advantage to having trackpad wake? I see that many people are interested in this feature however I do not see any difference between having to press the trackpad or the power button.

Also, I'm thinking of trying out the new ROM but I think I should wait a while until it gets a bit cleaner, perhaps. Currently using CM6 nightly 97 and I thoroughly enjoy the stock Calendar as opposed to the Sense one. Also, I tried using the overclocking kernels available for CM and they kept freezing/rebooting the phone. If I could keep the calendar and be able to overclock successfully, I might switch to the new ROM.

I'll let you guys know what my results are when I decide to use the ROM.
[HTC Aria Android Development] duckredbeard:
FR002 is downloading as FR001.
[HTC Aria Android Development] eortizr:
yeah both links are downloading the same FR001 file
[HTC Aria Android Development] bkmo:
trackwake

This is the trackball wake that should be working. It works fine on the 2.1 rom. It only works consistently on this rom while charging. Something is happening when off charge that causes the trackball events to not be recognized. It also seems that the lockscreen replacement apps and lock widgets all seem to suffer the same problem when not charging.

What is meant by "home replacement apps"?
[HTC Aria Android Development] netw3rkd:
Like ADW launcher, it's a replacement to the sense UI. correct me if I'm wrong.
[HTC Aria Android Development] bkmo:
Home replacement apps are other launchers like Launcher Pro, ADW etc. In my message about trackball wakeup what I meant to say was "Lock Screen" replacements like Lockbot.
[HTC Aria Android Development] duckredbeard:
I should assume this won't be an issue for me, as I am content with Sense. Thanks.

So the FR002 link really is the same as FR001?

[HTC Aria Android Development] theWilly:
Difference between this and the Gratia ROM recently posted?

So....is this basically a tweaked version of the Gratia ROM posted a few days ago?

Removed the the weird asian markets, added in Astro and terminal, made the fingerprint fix, set english as default, etc?

I'm running the Gratia ROM right now...it was my first ROM flash, went pretty smooth. I'll be interested to update when a legit Aria US market version becomes available, but until then not sure I care to mess with it. Seems to run well, can't say I notice that much difference though. Angry Birds feels like it runs a tad smoother, but I noticed the stock SMS widget doesn't seem to flip through the "tabs" as smoothly...maybe because I now have the live wallpaper enabled?

attn1: Thanks for the effort! And thank you to all the other smart folks here, I've learned a good bit off this board.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
Hmmm...not that I care attn1 but I thought I would mention I got the HTC boot noise back in FR002. I know you hate it. :)

I'm confused, astro file manager was gone as well. I thought you liked it? :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
IMO after installing FR008 and pairing my headset it would appear that HTC didn't fully incorporate all of the BT voice dialing features from Android 2.2. As another poster mentioned, with CM 6.1 when push the headset button, the BT Voice Dialer app pops up and you are able to speak commands through the headset. It works well for my usage. With the HTC Sense 2.2 ROM, pushing the headset button simply launches the old Voice Dialer app and you have to speak commands through the phone's mic.

It was nice to play with the HTC Sense interface by installing and setting FR008 up, but I'm back on CM 6.1 simply because it just flat works better for me at this point.
[HTC Aria Android Development] voldemarv:
I'm trying to setup OpenVPN on FR008. On modprobe tun command I'm getting

modprobe: chdir(2.6.29-885f0b88): No such file or directory

Is that something wrong with tun support or I'm doing that wrong way?

Thanks
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Did you install openvpn? What version of FR008 are you using? Make sure it's not an RC version.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Nutshell69:
I would have went to CM 6.1 myself - the only thing that kept me from going to it was the inlined Email Images - not working. (unless i am missing something)

I know I can get the images at the end of the email document - but seeing a bunch of boxes with little blue question marks in the middle doesnt work for me -

I need to see the images where they are supposed to be -

If that was working - I would strongly consider it.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Nutshell69:
Confirmed - after installing lastest version - reinstalling Swype - working great.!

RC2 had the reverted kernel from the rom leak without tun support. Download the latest (final) version with the fully working custom kernel for tun support.

This might be a n00b question but I wanted to ask if I'n now on FR008-RC0 and I wanted to update to RC2 then I'll need to flash it again right? And will need to backup everything once more? And btw, is GPS working in this ROM?
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
and you are getting the following error? that looks like it's running the old kernel, or you are trying to use a tun module from another kernel. This won't work. Tun support is built into this kernel - no module is needed. Did you try the VPN setup included in the ROM and not open VPN?
[HTC Aria Android Development] dagwud:
I just rooted and flashed this ROM to my Aria last Saturday. Oh. Good. Lord. Just having apps on the SD card alone drastically improves the usefulness of this phone. Thank you!

I've been looking through this thread for a solid answer to the following question since long before I rooted. I have looked and Googled, but I haven't found something that clearly answers my question. (so please, no lmgtfy.com links).

Can someone let me know if I understand the situation correctly?

A ROM can be flashed in either of the following conditions.

Leave everything on the phone and flash over the existing data

Backup apps and data (e.g.,Titanium backup), wipe data, flash, and then restore apps & settings from the backup.

As I understand it, an "in place" upgrade (option 1) would be the most expedient, similar to the application of a Windows service pack, where the system gets updated and the data and programs stay the same. However, this only works if flashing a 2.2 ROM over a 2.2 ROM.

On the other hand, a "wipe-and-flash" upgrade (option 2) is significantly less likely to create unexpected glitches in the phone, so the wipe-flash-restore method is preferable. This also doesn't "care" if you're flashing 2.2 over 2.1. And I only have to set up my accounts manually because the apps and their settings can be restored using Titanium Backup

I have a feeling that I'll be "fixing" at least one other Aria before the week is out, and I would like to be sure that I'm explaining the situation accurately.

Thanks.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Folks, forget the RC versions. Those were release candidates. You want plain old FR008 at this point.

Nandroid backups are always recommended. GPS works. Yes, if you want to update, you will have to reflash the new version.
[HTC Aria Android Development] ladios:
I don't know what modprobe really is. It seems not available in the rom anyway. You should load modules by insmod command.

I think tun is already integrated in the kernel, as you can see line 918 of the kernel config. It's not a module, so you don't need to load it yourself.
[HTC Aria Android Development] iJudgeMAN:
Been using the phone for a day now running the final version of FR008, and I must say that it is running great! Youre the man attn1! Everything feels snappier, being able to use SetCPU is VERY welcomed, and my battery life seems to have improved exponentially over FR006. I could just be imagining things on the battery life part :rolleyes:, but nevertheless, I have been getting consistent 40% and above at the end of a long days use of the phone, compared to the old 10% battery life and me rushing to plug in the phone because I am still using it. Great job attn1, thanks again for all you do!
[HTC Aria Android Development] agzela:
Thanks ATTN1!

Bought the Aria on Ebay as a test phone/Android intro....I have the iPhone 4 but after flashing with FR008 I find myself not swapping sim anymore!!!!:)
[HTC Aria Android Development] voldemarv:
Here what I did. In recovery mode mounted System partition, copied openvpn file from OpenVPN-Installer-0.2.3 to /system/bin. chmod +x /system/bin/openvpn

After that I tried to load manually tun with "modprobe tun" command. And got the error.

All that was done with adb shell.

There is a way to work with OpenVPN in cyanogenmod from setting menu. No such option in this firmware.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
You don't need to load a module - tun support is built into the kernel without it. Further, it looks like you are trying to load a module built for an earlier kernel. Forget modprobe.

There IS native VPN support in network settings on this ROM.

settings > wireless and network > VPN Settings
[HTC Aria Android Development] voldemarv:
Here are options for VPN support in this ROM in Settings-Wireless&Networks-VPN Settings - Add VPN

Add PPTP VPN

Add L2TP VPN

Add L2TP/IPSec PSK VPN

Add L2TP/IPSec CRT VPN

These are different type of VPN support. There is additional one in Cyanogenmod - OpenVPN.

I'll try without modprobe.

Is there any way to confirm that tun is compiled in kernel? lsmod shows only bcm4329.

Thanks.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Yes, it's built into the kernel, the same as with CyanogenMod.

You should not be using a tun.ko module in either ROM.

I was previouslt running 07 with another kernel. Everything was running smooth (except bluetooth).

Flashed 08. Having 2 problems:

I was wondering if someone could help me. I was trying to do app2sd. I followed the directions on page 1. Made a 512mb partition. I used quick system info and the app2sd memory showed 432mb. Partition was successful.

Anyway so I thought I'd install some apps just to test to see if it was automatically storing on the sd. I did a search on this thread and apparently it's supposed to work automatically. From what I understand, it currently isn't. My internal memory went down to 18mb from 64mb (there was a low memory notification).

Is there something I'm missing? Are there any commands that I need to type in terminal emulator?
