I have extracted the files in to the directories as suggested but when I run the command to extract the system.img I get access is denied. I have tried this as my standard user account and logged on as root any ideas?

Edit: modified the permissions on the two files I dumped in to sbin and resolved the issue!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] FileFixer:
Yes... If you don`t permission you can login as root and change rigts on this two files.

In my case i just copy these two files in /usr/sbin folder and everything work fine.

This is, maybe i think,for per user mod.

I would be to edit thread for this problem...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Stephen:
Works very well very nice thread man. I was able to fully extract the img file from a gingerbread build and play arround with it and rebuild it cheers!

@FileFixer

Maybe you could also post a way for us to edit the initrd.gz files in the rom builds, so we can make some changes that are necessary for SD builds to work with MAGLDR "AD SD" option ourselves?

Thanks, Santroph.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] FileFixer:
Unpack initrd.gz on your desktop and open cpio archive. Inside is a few scripts and few elf files.

I am not developer but i will trying to learn more about this. :)

When I use the command unyaffs /home/your_name/Desktop/newrom/system.img I get an error open image file failed.

Why is this not working for me?

...

Never mind, it worked!

Very useful topic!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] FileFixer:
Yo MUST be placed in to your "newrom" folder before start unyaffs command.

your_name@computer_name:~$ cd /home/your_name/Desktop/newrom

then type this...

your_name@computer_name:~/Desktop/newrom$ unyaffs /home/your_name/Desktop/newrom/system.img

Only type BOLD text.

Never mind, it worked for you! :)

After repack - no root

I did unpack and repack system.img according this guide (without any changes - only for testing). After flash the ROM works fine, but is not rooted. Original ROM is rooted.

Why? I didn't make any changes in unpacked system.img.

Can anyone help me with this, please?

Thanks.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] FileFixer:
I think that you must set permissions to all before pack img file.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] arif-ali:
Hi,

Here's a quick howto

* mkdir initrd-temp

* cp initrd.gz initrd-temp

* cd initrd-temp

* gunzip initrd.gz -c | cpio --extract --make-directories

* rm initrd.gz

* Make your changes

* find .|cpio -H newc -o|gzip -9 -c - > ../initrd.gz

I hope that helps

Hey,

thanks for this useful thread!

I have problems in this whole process of booting a custom rom ( in my case Miui) in the Emulator . I have compiled the whole rom on a Linux VM with your Guide and pushed it in a Windows system into android-9/images/system.img but it won't boot I don't know what I am doing wrong. My system.img is 2 GB big I think this is not normal. if i am replacing the system.img with the original out of the emulator, it is booting. I just want to boot the Miui rom to port some features to Cyanogenmod... Thanks in advance. I have a HTC Legend btw .
[HD2 Android NAND Development] FileFixer:
Try this. before i write this gude, i was same problem with 2GB img file and i wrote new thread to help me when create img with properly sized img file...

You don`t be placed on your Desktop before create *.img file, but you MUST.

----------------------------------------------------------

Ok, let see what we must to do... In case when you previous closed Terminal window, you must be placed on Desktop uses CD command in Terminal.

your_name@computer_name:~$ cd Desktop

You must see this...

your_name@computer_name:~/Desktop$

Enter this...

your_name@computer_name:~/Desktop$ mkfs.yaffs2 newrom/ system.img

And you must see this...

mkfs.yaffs2: Android YAFFS2 Tool,Build by PowerGUI

at http://www.openhandsetalliance.org.cn

Building...

Build Ok.

your_name@computer_name:~/Desktop$

After that you will see new system.img on your Desktop.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Westi01:
Ok I placed it at Desktop and I really got a 185 MB big file :) But I am trying to boot it right now but it is stacked at the first screen: A N D R O I D _

I believe it is the Bootloader. Maybe it has something to do with an Java Error: " Couldn't load preferences" shown up before the emulator is starting.

Thanks for your help bro.

I just saw this problem that video calling on fring in i9000 cROM by Darkyy isnt working, the app crashed everytime I tried making a video call + None of the apps installed show up on the market (ofcourse i think if i apply the footprint patch, it should be done) - but these two are critical issuses to me, and sadly for that reason, even though it is an awesome ROM i had to replace it with stock jp6. :(

Any one facing similar problems?

Darkys was awesome because Ive never seen SGS go this maddeningly fast, nor have I seen it lose only 2% / hour on standby! Phenomenal!

Q&A

Q: Does this ROM come with app2sd?

A: No. An app2sd version will come, but your SD card will have to be partitioned first. See this thread for more information: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=800555

Q: Is this for X10a or X10i?

A: It will work for either, but your "About phone" page will show X10i (See screen shot above).

Q: What is "zipaligning"?

A: Zipaligning is a way of optimizing an APK's RAM use.

Q: What will happen if I update a zipaligned APK?

A: The update will download and overwrite the zipaligned version.

Q: Does everything work?

A: Yes. That was my intent with this ROM: Provide high performance without loss of functionality. Everything that works in the stock SE ROM (Bluetooth, WiFi, Camera, etc) works in this ROM.

Q: Can you replace LauncherPro with LauncherPro Plus?

A:

I

can't, but you can. Just enter your product key in preferences. You can also install a different launcher like ADW, but you'll have to use TitaniumBackup or a root uninstaller to remove LauncherPro.

I hope everyone finds this ROM useful. Requests and suggestions are welcomed. If you use this for a theme or as a base for a custom ROM, please let me know. I'd like to see where this winds up. Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] xcxa23:
is this rom come with app2sd? and how much is the partition size?

suggestion if i may:

transparent notification bar.

better looking of fonts. (Nosferatu or Sony Sketch)

bootanimation.

including SetCpu and Thumbkeyboard.

hopes it helps. just a thought.

cheers,

xcxa23

well. thanks for the quick respond. good luck

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 3dawg:
What is this zip aligning? If I flash this and there is an update for any of the above applications, what happens? What if I already have a few paid versions of them too.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mmarjan:
its ok i boot it up i am testing it now i will post my opnion in couple of hours
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kxhawkins:
This is for X10a or X10i. "About phone" will show X10i.

First boot will take some time as it builds dalvik cache. How long have you been stuck?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 180490:
interesting rom, i`m downloading it, and i`ll give it a try:D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kxhawkins:
Zipaligning is a way to optimize an APKs RAM use. If you update an app, you'll lose this optimization, but I will keep current copies of all APKs in this ROM available. I will also optimize any other APKs requested.

Thanks!

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kxhawkins:
It should support all languages that the stock SE ROM does, but I have only tested English. When you run the setup wizard after first boot, you can select whatever you want.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] qwer23:
Great idea to make a basic speed ROM like that!

I'll wait for the lite ROM without apps and download your apk package separately :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Suminderji:
Hey,

I love the ROM as its extremely fast and I can't wait for the you to get themeing. However I can't sync my contacts. Even if I try to force it from the phonebook it quickly crashes and then restarts.

Aside from that everything seems to be working great.

If you have any solutions for the sync please let me know as I'm on the road (I know I'm an idiot for flashing when I had to leave) and don't have any contacts or phone numbers memorized :)

Edit: Also there isn't an account sync option in 'Settings'.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ooidort:
Just spam the sync button in the contacts menu and it should start syncing. At least for me it did.

Great Rom, but how come the Adobe flashplayer and adobe Air don't work? should I just delete them?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kxhawkins:
Emoji support is in the fonts, so it should work anywhere.

The SMS interface is factory from SE.

Nope. Check your APN settings.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] shinnsan:
Maybe the market is updating to the new one, that's why it stays downloading. Close it, and open it back after a few minutes and it should work, with the new market. That's how it is for me.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] BackOrLay:
Stunning

Thanks for providing the ROM that SE should have out of the box. It make such a difference to the phone in regards to responsiveness and battery life.

I would be wary though of adding the current dual touch driver as it destroys battery life on the ROM.( Well did for me though Im sure you will work your magic to incorporate this into the next version without loss of battery life )

Best ROM for the X10.

If I had one suggestion, it would be to swap out the font used in this rom for the Sony Sketch font, as someone else mentioned earlier. Otherwise, awesome job.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] elcede:
Did you all have good battery life on this rom? My phone can run only about one day. I've install overclock widget and turn on fly mode at night with timeriffick and it didn't help very much.i don't use wifi much because I have 2g/3g on and no mather what I do on the phone (listen to music when going to work, play games, or rare using phone) I have to charge every day.i did not use phone for talking or sms. My htc magic stands for 2 days at even more use.

Is this my phone or maybe some apps or x10 can do only one day?

Oh and I have done full charge and battery wipe, it help a little, but still when I plug in charger at night , in the morning there is like 99% of battery so one percent discharge at night with no use and fly mode on.

Thx for help and answers.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] t-c:
Don't know whether its worth mentioning it and cannot determine cause.

In the stock SE ROM when you put the phone into sleep via power button it takes you back to the swipe state on waking. With this ROM it seems to stay at the home page when waking?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] roaringhere:
Put it GSM mode and disable Data Traffic when not in use, it will imporove you battery life a lot. When I do that at night when I go to bed after charging, my phone will still be at 100% in the morning...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] elcede:
I'm switching in airplane mode at 22:00 and switching back at 6:30 in the morning and it still not help very much. How long youre phones work on battery?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kxhawkins:
There's a timeout for the screen being off. If you leave the screen locked for a few seconds, and then unlock, you should be taken to the lockscreen.

This ROM provides some battery optimization over stock, but how much is subjective. If you're running a stock ROM, please refer your battery issues to the Q&A forum; This is not the place for anything other than development. Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] elcede:
I'm using this rom and I'm very pleased with it, but I don't know is this short time on battery is issue with my phone, our I have to flash rom once again or do something else, or it's normal with x10. I bought this phone recently and first thing that I have done that was flash this rom because it has 1.6 and I prefer custom roms so I didn't have time to check how long it will least on battery and first couple of days I was using it very frequently. That's why I'm asking Is that normal on this rom and this phone and we what can I do to make battery work longer.
