hey cedric!

first of all thank you very much for your hard work! i'm going to try your fzf rom 4.5 in a few days due to lack of time now.

i'm new to the game and don't have much experience with android. the only thing i did up until now, was to root my phone and got rid of the vodafone apps.

i have a question for you, ok, maybe it's a stupid one and maybe you answered it already somewhere else, but after reading so many pages and threads i really can't remember.

when using your rom, do i have to create a swap partition or can i create only an ext3 partition on my sd card for apps2sd?

i'm asking because i don't think that my sd card could handle it and that it would create a bottleneck, slowing the hole system down instead of speeding it up.

once again, thx for all your hard work!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MantisEngine:
Maybe I can help, I remember that swap was for getting virtual RAM from SD, ajd ext3 is for moving apps2sd, some apps wont work properly when u use app2sd with them, i.e: some live wallpapers and advanced tools, anyway, swap is for RAM and ext3 for moving the apps, there is a nice software for it, wothuout using recovery, I dont remember its name, but it is at market, find the word swap at market.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] calcvita:
thx for your reply MantisEngine

i've heard of a lot of apps, like rom manager and so on, but i think you mean swapper. no i haven't tried this one.

when there is a need for a swap partition, i'll use a native swap partition and not a "partition" that is created on the fly during boot. ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cedric123:
Just flash them in your recovery like a ROM but without wiping the data or cache ofc:)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MantisEngine:
Oh i see its is very easy :-D, its a shame loosing the battery mod at green, its my favourite color but its ok woth this rom, now i gotta test keyboards, with this ROM i can wait for froyo for ages hehe
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cedric123:
Thats why i made the standard theme wich is nicer i think
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] knight862:
any change to fix Bluetooth Cedric? Cause I really want to use your ROM, it's really damn fast man :) I hope with the RLS 5.0, the bluetooth problem had been fixed...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cedric123:
I tried but i dont know cuz i cant test cuz it is working with my phone but i made some changed to the bluetooth conf and apk and if this is not working i will post a bluetooth fix (my final try a edited input config)

RLS 5.1 up
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] knight862:
I'll try your RLS 5.1 right now. If bluetooth won't work, I'll post again :) Thanx again...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cedric123:
can you try bluetooth fix if bluetooth is not workking?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] knight862:
It worked like a charm :) thanx so much Cedric.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MantisEngine:
Yeah, is really better, but well, a personal opinion, I think the ADW launcher is better than launcherPro, it is more customizable. Maybe at new ROMs...

Or u can make smtg for vote like with the keyboards :P.

Thx for all ur work, its great.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MantisEngine:
Can I know whats the issue with bluetooth?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MantisEngine:
I tested the BT with a nokia N81 and I didnt have any problem or bug.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DJ_Uro_UE:
O hi !

I wanted to test this 5.1 version ... and while flashing, i get this message :

E:Can't symlink /system/xbin/[

E:Failure at line 14:symlink busybox SYSTEM:xbin/[

Installation aborted.

What's the problem ?! :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MantisEngine:
Try downloading the rom again, it may help, maybe that part of the file is damaged or not correctly downloaded.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jorasega:
version 5.1 running perfectly on my U8110. Thank you
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cedric123:
you're welcome

Thanks for giving feedback and i am happy all bugs are fixed so now i will focus on FROYO. but the problem is that i tested all froyo ROMS but they benchmark lower than this ROM and they are clocked on 691MHz i only get 3.7 mflops and this one i get 4.8 Mflops easy? anybody knows why? i think cuz all we wanted from froyo we alredy have like JIT+A2sd ect.

ps does anybody know where to get the right WPA_suplicant for ad-hoc support?

I think this ROM is almost finished so please make suggestions for making it better.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MantisEngine:
Hey cedric, I heard rumours at some other forums, not at xda, but at spanish ones, and some of them say that JIT doesnt affect too much the perfirmance, but at this eclair ROMs u did, performance seems very superior to other ones, i did a benchmark test with TCT rls4 ROM and it said that the speed doesnt get affected by the JIT use, i disabled and reenabled JIT at that ROM and i got same mseconds for the long benchmark test, but while testing this 4.5 ROM all seems faster, like having more RAM at a pc, and well, game apps, i tested 3D ones and performance its the same, obviously our proccessors has their limits hehe, i havent tested angry birds yet, cause i cant find it at market and some other apps that previously ive found at TCT, but i guess is maybe cause they launched new versions uncompatible with huawei u8110, but there isnt angry birds, just san valentine's season.

For me, I might update to froyo for the flash player support, cause there are some videos impissible to find at yiutube mobile app or to play at skyfire...megavideo.... xD

With this frozen roms you have made, our phones are at their limits, its a great work, and ill install froyo just if performance gets better at it :P

Well, thats what I can say for all these threads and works for the huawei u81xx. I will be checking what else I can feedback.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MantisEngine:
Oh and another thing, didnt say the Google guys that the new improvement at froyo was only the JIT? We already have it, and what is left us Adobe Flash Player
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gjole86:
5.1 version still supports flash?

i dont see the .apk files needed for flash to work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cedric123:
Oi see you all have those illusions about flash but we &ave an armv6 proccesor and is not capable of any flash player amd will never be sry bout that for flash you need a hich end deviceeven with froyo it will never work

send from my phone
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gjole86:
then why TCT had flash support in first place? i remember i was able to see the flash adverts on sites before ...

to be clear i am talking about 2.1, not froyo.

also, check ur first post u will see "flash support" even it is lite.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cedric123:
Thats true only flash lite but the. only thing that will be shown are web ads nothing else i think its useless only flashlite it will only make web pages slower and will never play a video or game in flash format just ads
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MantisEngine:
That flash support u are talking about its flash lite support, and it is used for playing downloaded swf files, ive tested it at TCT,and maybe those adverts u say may be java adverts, that is almost completely supported at android, i dont remember perectly which kind of java support it is.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MantisEngine:
Playing flash games wothout multitouch and a 600mhz proccessors its boring and at small screens kinda hard, about what u said before, u mean our proccessors are not enough powerful for adibe flash support? Or just not able for it?,

At my nokia n81 ive tested flash player at some websites for games and videos also youtube, with flash at skyfire(not same way than at android, directly the plugin at browser) and i had very good performance, ive tested it at a Dell Axim x5 and performance was very good while using 420mhz proccessor, i dont remember the model of it, but i know this huawei is more powerful than the nokia and than the dell devices
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] akiless1:
The roaming problem still appearing when phone lost the normal signal, but it recovers the right signal when it is on range again. Its not a perfect fix but much better than before. Any way, good work, Cedric :).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cedric123:
Yes our proccesors dont support flash

and to play swf files you can use any video player but you can always install flash lite from market.....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MantisEngine:
Oh, huawei f..... us with that limitation, but it is ok, with this ROM, i guess i wont need froyo then
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cedric123:
Its not huawei.

The HTC legend,hero,wildfire too cant handle flash even they are running froyo cuz they use an older prossecor an ARM11 wich is ARMv6 and for flash you need cortex-A8 wich is ARMv7

Those prossecors are more expensive and thats why a high-end phone is so expensive.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MantisEngine:
So what makes a phone expensive is the proccessor and the screen, its funny how this phone is superior to other ones but its proccessor is way too old :/ at least we have skyfire, oh I forgot to ask about this:

Ca you make a ROM which blocks pop ups from megavideo? Something like adfree? I dunno much, but it would be great to have a ROM which block that annoying pop ups, and maybe we can watch movies and series at megavideo, and web browsing and some sites can get faster, 3G users will save some data, just an idea...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cedric123:
This is very easy just download ad-free android from the market and follow the instructions.

i could include a host file that blocks the ads but i alredy treid and it block the data transfer of much widgets too like fancy widget and some other ones too.

The screen doesnt make a big price diffence only like 50 euros at most the biggest thing is the manufacturer.

Htc is very expensive but ZTE is very cheap and LG too and samsung is in the middle.

but indeed the proccesor makes a big price difference
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MantisEngine:
Then ive bought the proccessor and not the phone itself, cause it was like 70€ without any contract, or data plan, well, ive tryied ad free, but it blocks just like 10% of adds, anyway, for megavideo, can there may be a software that uses a megavideo URL to embbed it and stream the flv source?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ebromm:
First of all Cedric, keep up the good work!

I've already tried a few of your releases. Fast, clean and for as far as i've experienced all stable.

Thumbs up !!! Cedric !!!

ps. I was anxious to try your 5.1 release, but I think maybe the upload is corrupt?

Already downloaded twice with and without download manager. But both had the same verification corrupt file error with amonra recovery "system\lib\libmmipl.so"

Thumbs up !!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cedric123:
Try a full wipe no one else is expirince problems like this...

doesnt work try reload stock ROM re root and reinstall recovery than install 5.1 rls
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DJ_Uro_UE:
Thanx, i'll give it a try! Tried 4.5 and it works perfectly smooth, good work! :)

Will try to flash again latest release !

Again, thanx :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tarkovsky7:
First thanks Cedric to the work you've been doing on ROMs!!!

I just want to ask few questions and make a request for this ROM (if it isn't already filled)

I was wondering if FPse - playstation emu for froyo can be ported to this ROM?

Have anyone tested it and does it have possibility to run FPse psx emu?

Can app be installed on SD? Is the A2SD that this rom contains actually App2SD?

Which release is better? This one or ProCelestial?

Which are the differences?

Will my Huawei u8100 work 100% good with these two ROMs? (Fresh Zodiac / Pro Celestial)

Will it have all features?

What are the up/down-sides of installing this Zodiac ROM instead of my factory 2.1?

Thanks in advance, i'm a bit new to Android so i hope someone will find time to answer these few questions.

Mihailo, Serbia
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cedric123:
Hi

There are no downsides of this customROM

Its much faster than the stock one and contains Apps2sd

It has all features and there is added dozens of them more in this ROM than the pro celestial.

There are a lot of difrences like the themes but you can flash the gignerbread theme from pro celestial ROM easy if you like that theme more(just download it from the first post and flash it.

one big diffrence is i made my own modified kernel and removed much unused stuff so that means more RAM and more speed.

Its overclocked too 748 Mhz but delfaut is 633 MHz that speed is stable for every phone.

to get your stable speed look at the guide in the first post.

Just follow the guide for installing and your phone works like a charm!.

About the playstation emu.

That will never work on our phones even not with froyo cuz we dont have a dedivated GPU inside our phones and all 3d games will run laggy.

Our phones will never support 3d gaming if you want a phone for that you need to buy another one woth a dedicated GPU.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mih_88:
Cedric, i dont agree with you about FPSE. ITS WORK with FROYO on OUR PHONE. This programm use only CPU for work. JUST TEST IT! OF course, Not at all games works fine (DRIVER 2 with big lags) but it 100% work (GTA - run fine).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cedric123:
But i think you mean ps1 games dont you?

Playstation 2 games are way too big and graphical for our phones

I will test it if i know where to download the apk..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mih_88:
OF course PS1, FPSE is for PS (exist PC version, Winmobile version and now out for android)..

I am tested nhl 2001 (700mb - one disk). Its play but very very slow, but FPSE updates every day, it has better and better perfomance.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MantisEngine:
Playing psx ROMs at samsung galaxy S still goes at 24fps and not 30 or 60f/s, think it will drain our batferies, and the gameplay wont be so nice, and even more wothout multi touch screen, just trying to play snes or nes games is pretty hard
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DJ_Uro_UE:
Hey, Cedric, just flashed again v5.1 and it flashed excellent! Phone works like the wind!

Great Job and you have a big support for your work!

Thanx again :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tarkovsky7:
Thanks! I'm definitely getting this ROM on my u8100! :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Trebalas:
Thanks, Cedric!

FZF-ROM rls5.1 working fine.

It lacks an agenda - possibly in another rls? ;) - an some nice ringtones (or some ringtone editor).

Still, an excellent ROM - fast'n'clean.

Great job.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MantisEngine:
Agree with him cedric, I nissed an agenda or a calendar, I need it a lot :-P
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gizmo_x:
5.1 installed but wi-fi sugnal is bad .... mini pulse.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cedric123:
Sry guys i stripped it from much app and made it 25mb smaller.

I meaby will include calendar in next rls but you can easy install it from market ,,dont it?

about the rungtones they take like 7mb so i deleted most and i use my own ringtones from sd

Dunno why if you could explain more aubout it i dont have problem with the wifi nor anybody else
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] molnarg1:
I have pulse mini and 5.1 installed. Everything is working fine. Thanks for this ROM.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MantisEngine:
I have found only smooth calendar, but it needs any other calendar app, there are some apps I cant find agmt market, kke APKtor or angry birds, could it be that i need market enabler or some market hack, zenonia, I cant find that one too.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] calcvita:
hey cedric!

i flashed your rom just a few moments ago. i had to apply the bluetooth fix to get bluetooth going, but now everything works great!

nice interface, very light and fast! nice work! :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jisatsu:
Can't download anything from the Market, anything I try to download shows "Starting Download" but it never starts.

I have tried clearing the data but that did nothing.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] LifeBringer:
Awesome! 'nuff said
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cedric123:
Thats weird done a full wipe?

UPLOADED AGENDA + RINTONES FLASHBLE ZIP

I think we can see that HTC ime is the best keyboard it has the most votes for from every other keyboard.!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jisatsu:
Yes I have.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cedric123:
try a reinstall.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ganett:
Hey guys,

Just want to jump on the forum. I've been lurking around a lot.

I bought a Huawei u8100 off of someone yesterday and have been looking at ways of modifying it.

After a few hours researching -- and banging my head against the wall ;-) - I finally got the phone rooted and

rom enabled.

Like to thank Cedric for putting out the Fresh Zodiac Fruit Eclair ROm. WIthout it, I would probably still be using a

cheap prepay phone...not anymore, though. I am hooked. I can't go back.

For those noobs, like me, who tried rooting their phone without any success, here are some things that you could try out:

Downlaod the Android SDK

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

I also had to download a newer version of Java to get it working properly. Most importantly, reboot your machine after you got it installed.

I noticed the BIOS screen detected an Android Adapter.

That was my biggest problem I think. I could see the phone show up in explorer but Windows wasn't popping up any "NEW hardware device found." Everytime I used Superoneclick I was getting the "Waiting for Device". After downloading the ANDROID SDK and restarting the computer, I realised how easy the process actually is.

After getting it rooted, I used pulsemini-amonrarecovery - you can search for it on the forum. It worked like a charm.

Here are some screenshots I took. Simple design, Just the way I like it.

THanks for all of the great info everyone. ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sanri:
Are live wallpapers disabled in 5.1? I can't use them
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cedric123:
Yes they are they must be runnung al the time even if you are not using them and cost like 5mb of ram and it only messes up the phone

live wallpapers are disabled in 5.1 but if someone wants it i can make a flashble zip.

@ ganett

thanks for the feedblack and the pictures.

you like it? Hit thanks plz..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Loukie:
hey man nice job it looks gr8 just one question my 5.1 final has no live wallpapers how can i add the option for livewallpapers?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Loukie:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cedric123:
live wallpapers flashble zip up!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dylan2009:
Good Job!

Thank's
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] akiless1:
To cedric123:

I suggest that you edit the archive "audio.conf" on folder system/etc/bluez on the lines:

to

to enable those bluetooth services by default on the ROM.

I can listen to the phone music on my PC enabling them and may be helpful to other devices. I always do it and its stable and dont causes any damage.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cedric123:
I will do this later.

I dont have the time for that now more bixy woth the real issues.

The "mods" are just regular themes without out battery mods

Sense it just senselookalike

and transpericy is original ROM theme just with transparant status bar etc
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gtxvtsa:
Good job!

Very fast ROM, I like it:)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] desirat:
i saw in other topic that froyo is almost finished, right?

hope u can make some usefull for us :)

keep the good work
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cedric123:
yes just need to configure awext driver and dpad issue

than its done

i will make a test ROM

Changing ROM´s

Hi everyone,

First of all I want to thank Cedric for this great ROM.

And now, a stupid question, can I change ROM´s with ROM MANAGER without losing any apps or data (like how far I´ve gotten on Angry Birds)?

Most of my apps are on the SD so I guess I wont be losing them but will they be recognized by the new ROM?

Thanks!!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dylan2009:
I test the v.1.4 in my 8110. I like how it works but ... I have some questions ...

1- Install Linpack and did the test = 1.742 MFLOPS, with the result was RLS4d = 4.4 MFLOPS :confused:

2- to move applications to the SD, because it moves the Dalvik-cache?

3- voice dialing not work.

I tested...:p
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cedric123:
In the ROM is the newest version of apps2sd installed so i think yes.

But for safety i would download titanium backup. For recovering apps and data from the apps (including save the games for angry birds ofc).

You can use angry birds backup from the market if you like to too.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] desirat:
awesome :)

good luck cedric
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gjole86:
umm i see that u dont have HTC IME atm? i have it as deodexed version gonna up if u need,
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cedric123:
Yes i have

The 2.0 version is de-odexed and has HTC IME

Download srtCPU to tweak and kill all prosecces?

i Tested teapot ROM on 710 mhz and had 2.2 mflops

woth froyo i reached 3.3 mflops dunno

EDIT: Tested fzf ROM with 691 Mhz on 4.8 mflops!!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] atomicr:
I have installed 2.0 rom and have one issue with market. I can only download one app. :( When i download and install one app, there is no way to install another app. Market just say: 'Downloading...' but it won't download it. Have to clean all data and cache to install second app... Delete cache will not help. What to do?

In version 1.4 there wasn't this market issue.:) Thanks for this rom.

edit: Can confirm the issue. When I Wipe Data for Market from TitaniumBackup, Market allows me to download one app. Then if I want to install another app, I have to Wipe data again.
