Q1:What is the stock rom you used?

Q2:Can i install it by loading CWmod recovery from a linux box rather than flashing a recovery.img onto the phone, i.e the method you described on another topic in XDA?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Sengfeng:
Yep-- all you have to do is unzip it and look in /bin for su and /apps for superuser*.apk...
[HTC Aria Android Development] luis_r_pr:
Please Post FR001 again im having problems with FR002. :(
[HTC Aria Android Development] hunkyn:
@attn1 -- I am getting the bootup sound too. Please, remove it.

Do not see English (United States) in the language.

Would it be possible to include the default email client in your ROM? If not that is fine i can load it manually but, would be great so i do not have add everytime i flash with your rom :D

As always great work. Market seems to be working in this ROM.
[HTC Aria Android Development] ekerbuddyeker:
I am running 001. How do install 002 and load back all my settings, home layout etc?
[HTC Aria Android Development] ungareca:
FR001 has no boot noise and has astro installed, FR002 has boot sound and no astro installed
[HTC Aria Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
I just wipe Dalvik cache and cache partition than flash FR002 from SD. Do not wipe/reset data. Settings and applications should remain intact, at least they did for me.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
I don't think you'll see FR001 posted again unless you can get someone to put it up somewhere else for you. There is not really anything wrong with FR002 so I can't imagine attn1 will re-post it. At this point I'm sure he's focusing on refining what he's already done.
[HTC Aria Android Development] kura808:
attn1! you're the greatest.

I bit the bullet and decided to finally flash a rom for the first time this morning (I was rooted but never did any flashing). Followed your instructions from the liberated page (wipe everything). The rom works great!!! Been using FR001 for about 5 hours so far.

I haven't had any significant issues. I believe a minor thing is somewhat of a market hesitation when downloading. Happened only a couple times. It's fine though I don't mind.

I noticed when you look at the setcpu logs, it says how much time in each state. The 245mhz has more time in that state compared to the 480mhz and 600mhz. I did set my screen off profile to 245mhz. Does that mean setcpu is somewhat working? Or does that mean it's the "normal sleep mode?"
[HTC Aria Android Development] ladios:
Hi attn1,

in /system/customize/CID/default.xml, would you please add:

1) locale: zh_CN, zh_TW

2) IME_sip_set: Handwriting

and just a suggestion, in /system/customize/MNS/default.xml, would it be better if:

only English checked in default_IKB_settings_checked/checked_list_latin

Thanks!!
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
I am still tweaking things. The normal R002 was a disaster. I am uploading FR003 replacements for both ROMs with numerous bug fixes, including a better jobs of Locale (Including Fahrenheit default for weather temps)

I am still adding languages and locales, so I will look at adding those two locations in R004 (R003s are uploading now).
[HTC Aria Android Development] Rors:
I'll just leave this here for later...

Looking for a decent version of FroYo til HTC release the official version...
[HTC Aria Android Development] ladios:
also, if possible, would you please add apn config that the one CM6 is using? I've got no problem to have data connection with CM6.
[HTC Aria Android Development] duckredbeard:
attn1: Thanks again for making our tools and toys better!
[HTC Aria Android Development] drumist:
Along these same lines, I'd suggest these changes as well (if you haven't already implemented them)...

1) Change the default date format to mm/dd/yy or the long format (Tue, Oct 26, 2010). It is dd/mm/yy on FR001. I bet you already changed this.

2) Disable the non-English languages on the keyboard by default. This is a very minor issue, but if they are enabled, the speech-to-text button on the keyboard requires a long-press instead of a short-press. ;)

Edit: FR003 changenotes were just posted and both of these were already changed, so disregard this!
[HTC Aria Android Development] Rors:
OK, downloading FR003 now that I've worked out how to use Titanium Backup!
[HTC Aria Android Development] pete2275:
OK so I tried that, here's what I get...

1-I powered the phone down.

2-Held volume down while pressing the power button, it reboots into recovery, checks sd card, then I let go.

3-I then hit volume down to highlight "recovery", pressed the power button.

4-it goes to a black screen with a red triangle with an exclamation point in it and sits there.

5-the only way to get out of that screen is for me to hold volume up and press power button.

6-it then goes to the "android system recovery <2e>" screen.

I just dont get it. I have flashed the liberated 2.1 ROM before, even have superuser permissions app so I know its rooted.

What should I do? I want this FR008 ROM!!!! lol
[HTC Aria Android Development] ladios:
Try install ClockworkMod again from the first option of RomManager, then choose the second option to reboot into recovery right after that.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
That won't work. Installing clockwork from ROM manager is only to update clockwork on our devices. In order to install clockwork over stock recovery, he's got to do it from unrevoked. I strongly suggest using this method on Arias with HBOOT < 1.0 and stock recovery.
[HTC Aria Android Development] pete2275:
Thanks guys!!

I'm gonna try that now attn1...
[HTC Aria Android Development] pete2275:
crap attn1, I just went to the link and it's what I've already tried 3 times... Even using the Ubuntu LiveCD method I encounter the "waiting for root...(ok to restart)" message like I do when trying Unrevoked regular method...

DO i need to flash stock at&t rom or something and start fresh (if thats even possible)?
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Sounds like you flashed something else - like that HK OTA. What HBOOT version do you have?
[HTC Aria Android Development] retired_mnbooze:
First off: thank you attn1 for this ROM and all of your work/support

Second (and back on topic): I've been using the HK kernel for 2 days (after 2 or 3 days of the original). I have noticed much better battery life with the HK kernel as well. I almost exclusively use wifi (over 3g data) and my only sense widgets are: htc calendar, stocks and clock.

My day to day usage had always been pretty repeatable, but with fr008 and original legal I'd be <10% every day, but with HK I'm closer to 50%
[HTC Aria Android Development] tnosz:
Question about this ROM??

BTW i love it! i was wondering if there is any way possible to implement PAUSE function in the camera settings? like record then resume recording?

thanks!:D:D
[HTC Aria Android Development] enewman17:
pete2275

You know i had a little trouble when installing clockwork with unrevoked when i did it. I installed the htc drivers for windows7 x64 Finally got unrevoked to reconize the phone. it started to do its thing and when I got to the screen (waiting for root... ok to restart) I noticed that the drivers for the phone no longer worked, and windows wanted a new set or drivers for android 1.0 I was freaking out... reloaded the drivers and then everything was fine and then unrevoked finished. Don't know if this helps you at all but maybe that's why you can't get passed that screen.
[HTC Aria Android Development] alfer:
Some thoughts on FR008: The ROM seems very solid and support for SetCPU is great, but like others I experienced the wifi problem. Only happened a couple times a day but very aggravating when it did - the phone would show wifi was still connected even though it wasn't, and wouldn't automatically switch over to 3G so I would have to disable wifi then turn it on again to get net access back. I installed the HK kernel and here are my thoughts so far:

+ Wifi is now working as expected, doesn't drop and reconnects very quickly after going to sleep

+ Battery life much better, but this is probably due to me not being able to overclock with SetCPU

- The phone was much snappier when using the original kernel and SetCPU. With live wallpapers and animations the HK kernel is noticably more sluggish

Now if we could only enable overclocking on the HK kernel FR08 would be GOLDEN.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Nope, sorry.

The idea of the Liberated Roms is to stick as close to a stock, unbranded ROM as possible while enabling advanced features that do not adversely affect or alter in any way any stock function.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
When I get proper source code for the kernel, I will try just that.
[HTC Aria Android Development] SectorNine50:
Works great! Loving the ability to overclock, makes the phone as snappy as you'd expect it should be!
[HTC Aria Android Development] artiemon:
Battery & Yahoo! Mail

When I first loaded FR008 I had concerns about short battery life, then I remembered that I also upgraded to the latest Yahoo! Mail client. Took Yahoo off and sure enough, best battery life I've had in a long time. For any of you with battery life concerns, remove apps one by one and you'll likely find your culprit.
[HTC Aria Android Development] pete2275:
Thanks everyone for your help...

attn1 - my HBOOT version is 0.57.0000

enewman17 - thanks for the insight, I'll see if that works for me

I'll keep trying, the old liberated rom was so awesome i'm guessing this new FR008 rom is just gonna be that much better, thanks again guys and please keep your thoughts coming!
[HTC Aria Android Development] vipersvcd:
Ad-free not able to replace/update hosts , why ?

Hi All

I a, very happy I switched from Cyanogenmod to this

My Aria works a lot faster and battery last much longer

One thing I noticed is that Cyanogenmod don't show ads

And this software does ,

I tried to install Ad-free from market and it could not replace the hosts file

I read somewhere that it worked by doing this : (But I do not understand how)

Edit: Works fine if you copy hosts to /data/data/hosts and symlink it /system/etc/hosts in recovery.

Adfree should also work if you just symlink to /data/data/hosts before you run adfree

Can any one explain to a noob like me what exactly do I need to do ?

Thanks .
[HTC Aria Android Development] Nochips4me:
Haven't had any issues at all. Wifi, hotspot is working great. Loaded up on top of #6 no problem. Keep up the great work.
[HTC Aria Android Development] duckredbeard:
This is what worked for me...

Install the adfree app and run it. After it starts, clilck on the "Download install Hosts" button on the top, accepting any notices or warnings. Go to this thread and scroll down to post #306. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=8894493 Download/save/move the adfree_fix.zip file to your sd card, not in any folder, just on the sd card. Reboot into recovery and install that zip. Reboot phone then relaunch the adfree app, click on that top button again.

Any time you switch to a different ROM, you will have to do this process again. Except for the downloading of the zip. It will always be on your sd. Every few days, you will have to reopen the adfree app and click the download button. Some apps get ads more often. Angry Birds never has apps for me, while some file explorers seem to get ads every few days.

Apps that had ads should no longer have ads and should run faster. Angry Birds was always slow when an ad was on screen. Not anymore!
[HTC Aria Android Development] Corporate Dog:
I think I've found one more issue with FR008 that's going to be a dealbreaker for me, for the time being.

I can't get e-mail notifications to work: no sound, no vibration, and no status bar icon.

I love being able to overclock, and my battery certainly seemed to last a bit longer with this ROM, but I think I've gotta go back to the standard Liberated series for now.

Lest I seem ungrateful: thanks for all your work on these ROMs, attn1! It's appreciated!

Regards,

Corporate Dog
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
We had a deal?

It all works here.

That's nice.

No, it still sounds sorta ungrateful. Implying that there was some deal that I somehow broke is insulting. The bottom line is that you're doing something wrong and instead of figuring it out you just make idle, meaningless, thinly veiled threats.

Now, to answer the question that might have been posed, I am assuming you are having trouble with pop mail, but I could be wrong, since you never said. Make sure all notification settings are enabled in mail:

in Mail, menu > more > settings > Notification Settings

Remember that pop mail is not ever pushed, your client has to check it. So check the frequency that the client checks for new mail. It can be a number of settings ranging from every 5 minutes to once a day. If you are expecting notifications to come faster than the frequency setting, then you're going to be disappointed.

Again, in Mail, menu > more > settings > Set download frequency
[HTC Aria Android Development] cegna09:
well that seems a harsh reaction. i'm pretty sure all the guy meant was he was having an issue and couldn't figure out why. the issue was big enough to matter to him so he was going back to something that did work. I saw no threats in his message, just a statement that he would switch back to another ROM that you created.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
If that's what he said, then I wouldn't have a problem with it. But it's not.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tribestros:
Dude, not everyone thinks that this ROM is the greatest thing of all time...jeez, the guy had some issues, really didn't mean anything by saying dealbreaker, didn't imply any deal, if you are taking what he said this seriously...you need to sit back and grab a drink.

He probably either incorrectly flashed the ROM, or the fact that different people have different issues. My battery drains noticeably worse, but when I bring it up everyone says "it's your apps" when I know for a fact FR008 drains battery worse on my phone. But that's not a dealbreaker.

Just chill out dude.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Nutshell69:
HK - Battery Life Better - Confirmed.

attn1 - and all.

As I have posted i was noticing a higher percentage battery drain on my Aria (not saying every one is) on FR008.

Also noticed some interesting WiFi issues as well.

installed HK version yesterday - re-setup my aria as it was before and

better battery life

Went from a 45-50% drain overnight (8 hours - resting ) down to

a 15% drain overnight (8 hours - resting)

Thanks attn1 for posting that version

I personally dont use the Overclocking and prefer the higher batter life -

This was just day one - will let you know other things as I move along!

Great work!
[HTC Aria Android Development] cegna09:
but it is what he said, just using some commonly used phrases. if you really take offense to all the incorrectly used terms and phrases that come out of everyone's mouths all the time, you're caring just a little too much. anyway, this discussion adds nothing to the subject of the thread, so i'm sorry for diving down the path.

the overclocking ability has been interesting to play with, since I've never used it on a mobile device. i'm using it mostly to underclock during idle times, curious if that will yield improvements in battery life. I need to do a week of no OC mods, and a week of unclocking when idle to compare results.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Corporate Dog:
We did! Remember? Karaoke bar? Lots of sake? Something about my firstborn child?

But it's all off, now.

(OR, it could've just been a figure of speech.)

A veiled threat to go back to the OTHER ROM you created and continue to labor over? I can see where that would be offensive:

POPE JULIUS II: "Yo, Michaelangelo. The Sistine Chapel ceiling's coming along nicely, but I can see you're still working on it, so I'm just going to keep admiring your sculpture of David for the time being."

MICHAELANGELO: "YOUR MOTHER!"

I'm receiving e-mails just fine (and it is through a POP mail server: Hotmail's to be precise). It's notifications that I'm not getting.

Notifications (and sound effects, and vibration) are turned on under my Mail settings. And I've waited the allotted period of time for the mails/notifications to arrive, according to the "pull" schedule I have setup.

I've gone so far as to reinstall FR008 after going through the factory reset/Dalvik cache wipe procedure, WITHOUT reintroducing my app/system data through Titanium. And I'm still seeing the same issue.

I know you deal with a lot of people who expect something for nothing. I've written public domain software in the past, and I've experienced all sorts of people with entitlement issues. But that's not WHY I wrote what I wrote. My intention was only to help you improve the ROM.

I didn't give you anything concrete to go on, which was lame on my part, but I DO appreciate your work.

Regards,

Corporate Dog

EDIT: Some more concrete data. This is the deodexed version of FR008 with the default kernel. My 'About Phone' screen lists '47.37.35.09U_7.08.35.06' as the Baseband Version, '2.6.32.17-cyanogen-liberty' as the Kernel Version, and '2.35.405.2 CL278184' as the Build Number.

When I boot to recovery, my HBOOT version is 0.57.0000, and I'm running v2.0.1.3 of ClockworkMod.
[HTC Aria Android Development] :
Calm down everyone. The fact of the matter is people either constantly ask the same questions over and over without searching, or they post issues without including enough details to troubleshoot (which then comes across as whining, even if it wasn't the intention).

The people that answer these questions the most eventually reach a snapping point, and sometimes your post happens to be the one to push them over the edge.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
This is far more constructive feedback. However, atm I am using the same setup (deodexed FR008 with the same baseband firmware), and I am getting email notifications. I cannot replicate your error with proper settings.

Another thing to consider with pop mail; do you have another mail client connecting to the pop server, retrieving and deleting the messages?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Matt James:
Hey there everyone! I've been a forum broswer for a while now and figured I would chime in my thoughts on this ROM.

So I flashed it a few days ago things have been pretty good. First...as far as performance goes some areas (no pun intended lol) seem to be quicker than it did with stock 2.1 and some seem to be slower. Example: When I open messages it usually shows the phone numbers who I have messages from for about 2 seconds before switching to their names. In 2.1 this was never the case. Not a dealbreak by any means. I'am simply just pointing out things I've noticed.

Sense's performance seemed slower after the flash. Sliding from screen to screen you can definitely see a bit of lag but whats funny is after I installed Launcher Pro and switched to that everything is now as quick as it was with Sense before the flash. Interesting indeed.

Wifi seems to be working great!! Always connects and stays on and if it goes off (sleep mode I guess?) it reconnects without a hitch. I also have an "H" instead of 3G now and its definitely much quicker on loading webpages or anything that uses data. Love it! Overall performance of the phone is great! Apps open up extremely quickly.

One minor thing I've noticed is what someone else said....battery life isnt as good. Its not going to make make switch back to stock ROM or Cynogen but its definitely not as good as stock thats for sure. I can go about 12-14 hours on a full charge with moderate use. Not that big of a deal really...just figured I would point it out.

I also have a question though...I noticed you have to delete the Dalvik cache before flashing...Im almost positive I didnt do this before flashing Cynogen and then flashing this ROM. I havent had any issues with the phone other than the ones listed but should I still go back and delete the dalvik and reflash? Or if its not broke dont fix it?

Thanks again guys! I really appreciate all the interesting reads :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] Nutshell69:
I always wipe dalvik before a flash :D
[HTC Aria Android Development] Matt James:
What is that for exactly and what are the complications if I dont? Remember the phone is still running perfectly fine.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Corporate Dog:
I check e-mail through the Hotmail web interface as well, when I'm on my PC. But this isn't a situation where the mails are getting deleted at the server, and then I'm not receiving them on my phone.

I'm getting the e-mails. I'm just not being told that I received any, until I go into the mail app, and see that they're there.

For what it's worth, I just tried wiping/reinstalling with v2.5.0.1 of ClockworkMod (I wouldn't think that CM would be a factor, but my version IS somewhat out-of-date) and the problem persists.

Corporate Dog

I've been trying to overclock with setcpu but everytime my phone just restarts. What should I do ?

Flash your nandroid back up and remember not to set it above 806 next time.
[HTC Aria Android Development] whitebrw:
Battery Life

For those still looking for battery answers. I didn't notice any real difference in battery life over the course of using any of attn1's ROM's. My use is probably not typical though because i have mine tethered to my computer almost every day while at work. (FYI i use 20 gigs a month on average for the last 2 years no problems )

But one thing i did notice this last weekend is that if i turn off auto sync completely and only manual sync when i want to, that i went from fully charged on Friday morning all the way to today (around noon) with normal phone usage (calls, messaging, and a lil agnry birds, etc) and i was still only down to around 40%. So that was almost 3 1/2 days of use (never being pluged in for 3 1/2 days). WOW what a difference.

So from my experience, if you are having battery problems, it is definitely a result of your programs and syncing settings. start by turning off auto sync, and if you get good battery life, then start eliminating programs one by one or just leave it that way. I personally like it better, no vibrating/chimes while i am sleeping :-)
[HTC Aria Android Development] klyon:
Agreed. Some people seem to think that these ROMs are simply picked up and passed along.

The bottom line is that a ton of work -- selfless work -- of a nature that many of us (myself included) likely cannot even fully understand goes into each release.

And there are the interminable, repetitive questions...

All props to attn1 and his brethern in the open source phone modding world!

Total respect.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
If your settings are correct, then it must be some other interaction. What other apps are installed?

Anyone else running the swype beta on the FR08 rom? Every time I reboot I get a blue border around the screen when I try to swype - I have to select the stock keyboard and switch back to swype to get it to work but its only good til the next reboot. Anyone find a fix to this?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Nutshell69:
I was getting that as well. Not quite sure was the real issue is yet.
