I'm not a dev, but decided to give this a try.

So far, this build is running well...except for the known contacts/myfaves and green camera with flash problems.

I tried to change mine from the 5 screens to the 7 screens, but even after several full re-boots the 5 screens still remain...anyone else having this issue?
[HD2 Android SD Development] sullitf:
Mine switched to 7 screens no problem, not sure why it wouldn't switch. Does the checkbox revert to unchecked when it reboots, or is it staying checked but only giving you 5 screens?

May be some random problem with something on your desktop, you could try removing widgets and seeing if that fixes it. You should just be able to check the box and hit the home button, sense will reload itself
[HD2 Android SD Development] motoman234:
I am uploading V0.3 that should fix almost all knows problems so just wait a little longer and you won't have to mess with those problems anymore. Ive never heard of the home screen switching to 5 before though, maybe try the suggestion from sullitf. Let's hope you won't have that problem in V0.3.

Very good suggestion.
[HD2 Android SD Development] motoman234:
Hey guys, just updated to V0.3. Changelog in post #2. If all possible please try to do a fresh install just to make sure all the fixes work, if you have any issues please let me know, Thanks!
[HD2 Android SD Development] jae-v:
Noticed that your build also requires the 4.0 MMS patch to get around the blurry issue. T-mobile US only, requires fresh data.img after patching.
[HD2 Android SD Development] motoman234:
So you tried the patch and everything worked okay afterwards?
[HD2 Android SD Development] iandy1:
Thanks Motoman for this!

Downloading and testing later today.
[HD2 Android SD Development] lukmanwidjaja:
Sorry guys, the download link Broken.

Help plz..... thanks :p
[HD2 Android SD Development] motoman234:
What? The link works fine, are you behind a firewall at work or something?
[HD2 Android SD Development] lukmanwidjaja:
Thanks, my adblock was enabled. After disabled it, it's fine.

Downloading......:)
[HD2 Android SD Development] pirelli2006:
why don't support all menu and application? what me do?
[HD2 Android SD Development] hd945157206:
0.3 I take away! thank you motoman234 good building!

Unfortunately no chinese how to add ? ??
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobertsDF:
Some of the applications are only for tmobile USA customers. They wont work for anyone else.
[HD2 Android SD Development] HectiQ:
great picture quality on this build! thanks!
[HD2 Android SD Development] gottley:
the build is excellent

the build is excellent but now my wifi hotspot is not working
[HD2 Android SD Development] gottley:
sorry it is working just had to give the build a restart
[HD2 Android SD Development] yonkersboy127:
I noticed that the g-sensor doesn't working this rom. Is there any way to fix that?
[HD2 Android SD Development] mtrujillog1:
is there any fix for blurry image in mms
[HD2 Android SD Development] 1987dram:
Thanks Motoman worked great just upgraded to V0.3 so far so good!:D
[HD2 Android SD Development] quinto91:
I love this build but I can't get my T-Mobile apps to work(my account, visual voicemail,etc.... is there something extra that I need to do or is it working for everyone else.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dailomac:
the tmobile apps.. thinks its an unbranded device.. so it wont support it.. unless motoman can help us when he changes some of the phone preferences in 0.4 like CMYLXGO's builds he mods the build so the tmobile stuff works..
[HD2 Android SD Development] jose makalolot:
maybe mdeejay can help take out odex on this one like what he did to his builds.

@moto, 0.3 rocks like hell. hopefully beta will be released soon.
[HD2 Android SD Development] bjcolema:
It works on my device.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dailomac:
maybe motoman and CMYLXGO can team up for combined build cuz CMYLXGO is godly with tmobile builds..
[HD2 Android SD Development] TheGeorgiaSwagger:
nice

Good job with this one moto!
[HD2 Android SD Development] rhacy:
Wow, v0.3 is working great here so far, including the camera, g-sensor, wifi, gps, bluetooth, and the market. Also, adding a new contact does not cause the force close issue any longer. Plus, the included hastarin r8.5.3 kernel has increased the quadrant score by couple hundred points without any cpu overclock. This is an excellent MyTouch 4G release. Thanks so much again motoman234.

Cheers,

[HD2 Android SD Development] elmng:
great build love it . one problem though my pictures messages wont send it just gives me the error message cannot send after multiple attempts ive read in other posts and threads to switch the apn to data and i did and i restarted but still get the same problem. Any help??? :confused:
[HD2 Android SD Development] ronyalam:
...crap "flash crush" isn't fixed...was watin for that,,,
[HD2 Android SD Development] beezzie27:
I'm having a little troulbe getting started. When i first get it booted,there's no sync icon and the theme setup keeps for foreclosing and returns to select them... I'm running radio 2.15, HD core cell v4.1, EVO carbon remix v.05 rom. I've rebooted so many times now and it still doesnt comply.=/
[HD2 Android SD Development] hd945157206:
Adobe flash10 .1 Seem not work
[HD2 Android SD Development] goro285:
Love it, but need help

I really like this rom, but it keeps restarting on me. It takes couple of restarts to get to the main screen and then few mins later it freezes and restarts.

How can I fix that???
[HD2 Android SD Development] motoman234:
I've never had this issue. Try using a pre-made data.img and starting over and the sync icon doesn't come up until a little after you login to everything.

Try deleting "Install_Flash_Player.apk" from system app and reboot, then reinstalling it from the market. You are not the only one that has had this issue. i will see if I can figure out why it is doing that.
[HD2 Android SD Development] gottley:
flash not working

great build as i said earlier but flash is not working a fix of this would make this build unbeatable
[HD2 Android SD Development] beezzie27:
Thanks Motoman. I'm still a newb with all the flashing, hopefully i'll get it.=)
[HD2 Android SD Development] sullitf:
Glad to see an update with the contacts fix, motoman!

I just completed the initial setup for v0.3, letting it download all my apps and what not now. Has anyone else had a problem with adding an exchange account? I can get to the last screen where I give the account a name, but then I get an error saying it failed to create the account. It did this on v0.2 also, but I wasn't sure if it was connected to the contacts bug.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shree.cse:
I didn't find any issues with latest 0.3

Thank you!
[HD2 Android SD Development] hd945157206:
I feel very strange Battery consumption soon. I am Using Energy sense rom with 2.15 radio
[HD2 Android SD Development] dragion:
:)

Did a fresh install of V0.3...reformatted SD, now no more problems with changing it to 7 home screens.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shree.cse:
Build is so smooth and fast, but I too noticed more battery consumption in standby than usual. But I don't mind it!
[HD2 Android SD Development] motoman234:
Glad to hear! I am working on a small (but worth it) update as we speak. You guys should be able to just switch the system.ext2 file and be fine to update.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jose makalolot:
I think it is dependent on the choices made during setup.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dragion:
Ready & waiting...patiently! ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] motoman234:
Just a heads up, it will be later when I update the build. I ran into a small problem but I must get a little sleep before running out of patience lol. Good news is I cut down 125mb from the system!!!! It should run a little faster and smoother now.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hd945157206:
Well , hope quick release
[HD2 Android SD Development] motoman234:
Won't be too long, just gotta sleep :).
[HD2 Android SD Development] dragion:
Rest up...Mr. Moto! :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] jaidedfocus:
Thx for all the hard work man! You ROCK!!!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] hd945157206:
you have to keep a good sleep!!!:)
[HD2 Android SD Development] bjcolema:
I strongly suggest trying the latest MDJ kernel, WITHOUT SetCPU. That setup is running very smoothly for me today, with improved battery life and good responsiveness.
[HD2 Android SD Development] bates_1974:
Just got onto this build today and have to say, really impressed, big fan of MDJ Kernels, will have to give it a go, cheers for the info

I just bought the g tab case on clearance at Sears for 5.99. Sorry but no pictures. The case is branded for the g tablet and is from viewsonic
[G Tablet Accessories] butchconner:
Is this the one that a lot of us were given free on Thanksgiving -- it has all the VS markings and stuff on the packaging but on the inside says it is a regular Case Logic netbook case?

THAT THING SMELLS TO HIGH HELL

I've had mine airing out for over a week and it still smells like a chemical factory. I've been meaning to return it but don't want to stink up my car...
[G Tablet Accessories] Butch1326:
Mine stunk sooooo bad I had to throw it out. It gave me such a headache. It wasn't worth taking it back for six bucks.
[G Tablet Accessories] TimOster:
XDA is no longer worth my time.
[G Tablet Accessories] Butch1326:
Oh yes. The smell was worse after I washed it. I even used fabric softener that had perfume in it. I couldn't stand the combination of the two smells anymore.
[G Tablet Accessories] KiloHurt:
LOL

Yep... mine smells bad too...

I washed mine in the sink with Dawn dish soap (loads of it) rinsed it out and set it out in the sun to dry. This process took about 25% of the smell out. So I did it again and got maybe another 25% out. Finally I just put it in my front loader washing machine by itself on delicate (Hot/Cold) Set it out in the sun again and got about another 25% of the smell out.

So now it can be in my car or next to me on my desk and I can't smell it at all. But if you put your nose up to it... well.. it's still there.
[G Tablet Accessories] Kokanee483:
I purchased a Kensington 10" netbook sleeve and it fits the gtablet great!

[G Tablet Accessories] weedahoe:
i bought the same case for my Archos 101 and it doesnt stink. Wish the case was more firm but it is enough to protect the screen.
[G Tablet Accessories] bousquet:
I have essentially the same case on my iPad and never had an issue with any smells. It's great to add a handle, but I still like the protection of a leather case when you're not transporting the thing.
[G Tablet Accessories] tyy10002:
what do you think about this one?

Acase Leather Flip Book Jacket/folio for Apple - from Amazon. It may fit ok..
[G Tablet Accessories] Canz:
The Sears guy thought I was nuts when I asked him to open it so I could smell it... smelled fine, btw.... thanks for making me look crazy today... lol
[G Tablet Accessories] aaron19953:
i triple dog dare ya to do that in the lingerie dept :D
[G Tablet Accessories] bousquet:
The Acase looks nice for Kindle DX:

Too bad it flips in portrait versus landscape... I'd like an option for viewing angles.
[G Tablet Accessories] flyingfuzz:
I just received a Malata Zpad T2 protective case,10.1 inch ViewSonic G-tablet Zpad,folwith stand-type protection Kit book free shipping from Ali Express. It took me about 20 days to get the case but it fits the g-tablet great and secures it very well and has a tap to use the case as a fold up stand. Total cost $32.00.
[G Tablet Accessories] skotter:
20 days????
[G Tablet Accessories] bandroidx:
LOL I actually picked htis case at office depot even though ti was sold as a caselogic case (it looked the best for the g-tablet) i got ripped off at $20 but atleast it doesnt stink, i guess maybe thats why they charged $5?

I wonder what the smell was of, so weird. Mildew is common, but chemicals? hopefully it wasnt uranium tetraflouride

Hey guys, found this on reddit today

http://droidmechanic.blogspot.com/2010/12/notification-panel-version-2-compromise.html

Thanks to the wonderful minds here at XDA, we have a working version!

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9708208&postcount=14

give some thanks to aaronpoweruser

It works with CM 6.1

It may or may not work on AOSP, awaiting test results
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thoughtlesskyle:
I got it to work on my theme but some of the images are stretched I will try it on stock cm 6.1 when I get a chance

sent from my twopointtwo themed hero
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] brokentoaster24:
I'm on stock 6.1 stable. I have tried flashing and meta morph but nothing works yet. Would it be possible just to adb push the framework-res.apk and have it work? (I'm too busy to currently attempt this)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thoughtlesskyle:
I wouldn't try it prolly needs to be signed

sent from my twopointtwo themed hero
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] brokentoaster24:
would it really need to be signed if i was just pushing the file and not flashing it?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thoughtlesskyle:
I meant the zip I wouldnt try flashing that or adb pushing that esp since its the framework which can destroy your phone if not done right but you can push it if you want but be advised

sent from my twopointtwo themed hero
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thoughtlesskyle:
i got it working, clear button needs to be resized but i have done about all i can do

here it is if you want it

download
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] brokentoaster24:
good work, getting ready to try it.

edit: works great. changed all my system fonts too. kinda like it though
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] too.many.imails@gmail.com:
this for AOSP or CM?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] brokentoaster24:
CM 6.1. Supposedly it's being submitted to cm, hope it gets in
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] psvillars:
awesome i've been looking for something like this i've incorporated it into my bulls theme i'll probably update it tomorrow :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] brokentoaster24:
awesome, did you get the clear button resized? also, could it be within your power to make a flashable version for stock( stock font as well)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] il Duce:
Someone got this working in the mau5 rom that deca has up in the development thread, check it out

sent from my hero, which no longer sucks ass
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] aaronpoweruser:
that would be me lol

i added a metamaorph so it should work with any mdpi rom based on cm6
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thoughtlesskyle:
Good job man

sent from my twopointtwo themed hero
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] brokentoaster24:
thank you! Works great :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] il Duce:
Sorry I was forum hopping and couldn't remember, nice job btw. Curious now that its metamorph, it shouldn't change the system font and the dialogue boxes and the colors of the dropdown? Would it only change the layout, ie my themed colors would remain?

EDIT: just tried it on jaybobs red 12/08, error message said the theme control file was missing or something like that, any ideas/help?

sent from my hero, which no longer sucks ass
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] brokentoaster24:
i had the same problem. the colored theme might be messing up metamorph considering you're playing with the frameworks. try using a stock build and see if the theme is the problem
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] the john:
Is there something like this for AOSP? I liked it in CM, but AOSP seems to like my phone better.

Looks awesome, BTW.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] brokentoaster24:
i don't think it would work because CM has a different framework. you can always make a nandroid and try it out :P if you're brave enough to try it on AOSP let us know how it works
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] too.many.imails@gmail.com:
no test on AOSP yet? bleh... guess ill wait a few more and see if someone responds, if not, ill do a nandroid backup and give it a shot. i would love this on AOSP :) its way more useful than having the power control widget on a homescreen.... lol
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thoughtlesskyle:
the power control widgets are part of CM6.1 doing this wont add those power controls to it, what it will do is shrink carrier name and move the clear button up, but since we dont have the power control bar on AospMod this will do essentially nothing
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] edisonalvarez:
I just tried this and couldn't get it to work. MM just locked up. I'm running 6.1 final. No themes or mods.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] brokentoaster24:
Try again, i had the same problem. Just try it again
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] brokentoaster24:
if anyone is still having issues getting this mod to work with metamorph, i offer two choices

1. don't give up: keep trying, I had to apply changes in metamorph and reboot several times to get this to work properly.

2. give up and wait: for anyone following this, it is being worked in CM for all devices as an optional tweak. It's being integrated into CMparts, but it might be a while before it goes live (see link).

https://github.com/kmobs/android_frameworks_base
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] aaronpoweruser:
anyone get the metamorph to work cause i can redo it i might have messed up somewhere as i dont use metamorph much
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] aaronpoweruser:
update ur version of metamorph as it no longer uses thm,s it uses xml now
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] aaronpoweruser:
should work on and froyo rom with the pcw in the notification mod (AOSP) because it is a metamorph so it only edits the files it needs a update.zip would be rom specific
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thoughtlesskyle:
It wont do anything in aosp because we don't have the power controls bar

sent from my twopointtwo themed hero
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] il Duce:
I think I have the most current version, 1.9.15 ? Maybe I'll do the try again theory and see what happens...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mercies:
Tried this with a themed CM 6.1 and it bootlooped my phone...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] edisonalvarez:
I tried about 4 times in mm and still no luck. Anything else I should try?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] brokentoaster24:
didn't know if there was still interest in this :D

i've had success and frustration with the metamorph file aaronpoweruser posted. it's worked for me twice and failed on me several more times. i wish i knew what i did right those two times :/
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] edisonalvarez:
Ill try a few things again and see. At least I know its not just me lol
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] brokentoaster24:
there might have been some framework changes in the last few builds that interfere. it worked for me when i was on 6.1 stable but i've tried a nightly build that gave me problems
[Gen8 Android Development] zelch:
Alright, so the root filesystem image is in /mnt/system/androidmerged.squashfs.secure

So do a temp root, copy to /mnt/storage, and then a adb pull gets it over.

The squashfs itself is offset by 256 bytes, so:

losetup -o 256 /dev/loop0 ./androidmerged.squashfs.secure

At this point, the FS can be mounted or unsquashfs can be used to extract it.

So, what's the first 256 bytes? The secure implies some type of signature, but what kind, and what else is in all those bytes?

I'm not feeling brave enough to try just grabbing the first 256 bytes and appending a modified squashfs image to it on my device just yet, but if others try please report back. (On both if it works, and if not what it takes to recover the unit.)
[Gen8 Android Development] chrulri:
how big is it? can you upload it somewhere? (or would this be illegal?)

damm.. i need my 101! :rolleyes:
[Gen8 Android Development] krohnjw:
75 MB - uploading now

Edit: And up: http://hotfile.com/dl/88050103/f99f306/androidmerged.squashfs.secure.html
[Gen8 Android Development] chrulri:
thx! :cool:
[Gen8 Android Development] chrulri:
how would you replace the root fs image on the device?
[Gen8 Android Development] zelch:
Connect via ADB, do a temproot, put the file in /mnt/storage, then copy it into /mnt/system overwriting the existing file. /mnt/storage is an ext3 filesystem mounted read/write, however I simply do not know if it will be possible to recover the unit if there is some kind of signature verification and we fail due to a modified image.

Again, someone braver then I should make this attempt and let us know how it goes. ;)

The source did not give all that many hints, but I need to dig through in some more detail.
[Gen8 Android Development] krohnjw:
If the unit will still boot to recovery could a full wipe and reinstall of the base AOS over USB get it back up and running?
[Gen8 Android Development] kenyu73:
Recovery shouldn't be part of the FS so at worst, you'd have to do a format/firmware install.
[Gen8 Android Development] L0$t$0ul:
You can do a full system wipe/format from recovery. it's not in any damageable storage by us without flashing a new recovery image.

Interesting about the front 256 bytes. It must be a signature. Not sure what good rebuilding the squashfs will do as it'll still be read only but it's a start. We could at least update the system properly and install the appropriate apps. Maybe in make some of the system dirs symlinks to writable locations possibly.
[Gen8 Android Development] zelch:
Permroot, giving us a filesystem mounted RW and not no-suid.

Ideally, I'd like to have decent support for the internal storage being ext3 without nosuid, but first we need to be able to replace the root filesystem image.

Other notes..

Looking at the hexdumps, the 256 byte chunk does not contain the start of the md5, sha1, sha224, sha256, sha384, or sha512 checksums.

The most troubling option which comes to mind is that it is the right size for a RSA 2048 bit block, hopefully not.

Anyone have ideas on how to find the initramfs image that the bootloader is feeding the kernel?

For that matter, has anyone tried taking apart the OS update images?
[Gen8 Android Development] chrulri:
I think the aos file or the responsible installer/updater should give us a lot of information about how this stuff can be updated.
[Gen8 Android Development] zelch:
Agreed.

It looks like usr/bin/abcbox in the root filesystem has something to do with the update process.
[Gen8 Android Development] zelch:
And it definitely is!

On a rooted device:

/usr/bin # PATH=$PATH:/tmp
/usr/bin # ln -s /usr/bin/abcbox /tmp/cramfschecker
/usr/bin # cramfschecker
USAGE: cramfschecker FILENAME
/usr/bin # cramfschecker /mnt/system/androidmerged.squashfs.secure
cramfschecker : check against 2.0.54

cramfschecker verification OK

Anyone with some ARM disassembly skills feeling up to taking abcbox apart to see how it's doing the signature check?
[Gen8 Android Development] zelch:
And so I've been digging into this, and it turns out that this is really quite similar to how the Gen 7 Archos 5 IT is locked.

The signature there is a RSA + MD5 signature, which is really the worst case as that means a 2048 bit RSA key, so we're kinda screwed there.

http://strazzere.com/blog/?p=320 has a good description of the situation on the 5IT. Getting a flash_unlock binary should be fairly trivial, so perhaps we can tamper with the key store to add additional keys.
[Gen8 Android Development] chrulri:
ah zelch, this is good stuff.

i'm gonna diff the archos gpl kernel, looking for changes at mtd stuff. maybe we can build a kernel module which enables r/w access to stage1

edit: or do we already have r/w access?
[Gen8 Android Development] Hexidecimal:
This stuff is all pretty interesting to read, but if I'm reading this correctly (and it is entirely possible I'm not) it looks kind of like this device is going to be a total pain in the ass to root, and it may take a considerable amount of time for us to get there.

Can someone who is more knowledgeable on this sort of thing verify that? Thanks for all your hard work guys. It's appreciated.
