Well I noticed some lagg/force closes in Beastv2.1 so I went through the /system/lib folder and completely figured everything out (hopefully). I was getting homescreen FC's, but I made a sweet little script that reads th binary's and checks for differences so I could figure out if I likely had the wrong libs in there. I'm testing it out right now and it's much smoother. 2.1 was made in a rush to get camera flip fixed, now that I can easily check binarys I can more carefully add features =]

Anyway whatever I release next wont have more features but should run like warm butter
[Adam Android Development] imgladuhateme555:
Awesome, man. I'll probably just skip 2.1 and go for that one when you post it, then. Thanks for the work you've done.
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
should be up soon, btw you dont need to clear data to enable data2loop, just to disable it. (after youve changed the option back in build.prob)

Just wanna make things as hassle free as possible.
[Adam Android Development] Re-Mi:
Hey Josh,

I don't know where you spend more time . Here or on NIH

So i will post it here :P,

I flashed your latest rom, i've got a lcd +3G but now a longpress on the search turns my screen off. (PQi toggle).

Can you try to make a toggle out of that button, so that we can map it to something else than " turn the screen off button :P "

Kind regards,

Michel

[Adam Android Development] arete77:
I agree, I use button Savior since the hard buttons are not backlit. It would be cool to have the ability to reconfigure them for long press events to avoid accidental inputs. Thanks again for the best rom for the Adam.
[Adam Android Development] imgladuhateme555:
Good stuff, man. Everything went much better with the latest version. Getting over 3000 in quadrant with data2loop. Best rom out there. Thanks a million. Is there any way you could incorporate text messaging capabilities (the MMS.apk I believe?) in the future? The stock NI rom allows sending and receiving texts with your sim card. It's not a must have, but it is a nice feature.

TESTERS

ftp://eto.homeip.net/Shared/NotionInkHacks/BeastTesting.zip

This is zip that will add some components to your rom, I havent tested it yet but it shouldn't do anything harmful to your build.

It is meant to be flashed over Beastv2.1 or 2.1.1. (v2.1.1 is best)

This adds some testing apps (all pay apps, please donate to the developer if you plan on using them after testing). As well as a bunch of extra files in /system/lib.

It also adds the file /system/Beast_Testing which details instruction on howto test.

Flashing this zip should not harm you system but testing likely will. Please Titanium Backup your apps, as well nand backup if you use clockworkmod.

This testing is very easy and only requires you read the testing file, heres a copy of it.

Pi-Qi switch

Josh,

I have a pi-qi wifi. Just installed the new ROM & noticed a glitch. Say, if I start a video(used rockplayer in this case), and once it started playing, if I go into pi-qi mode by long pressing the hardware button, the video stops playing and I cannot get the video to play untill I back out of the app or atleast go back and reselect the file form the menu. Is it something that cane fixed relatively? Thanks for all your work.
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
Yeah this is in the wanted fixes, it's because the longsearchbutton is actually running an android activity. This may effect of other android activities. This is why I have been trying to get a script to be run in the linux system but have had some trouble.

Hi, is it possible to see screenshots and some videoreview on youtube about this interesting rom?
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
I've been meaning to do one. Maybe tonight I will... If someone else would like to I'd highly appreciate it.

Thanks a lot josh.My adam is arriving and I'm very curious to see the video of your rom :) .

Ftp

How do I use ES File Browser to download? I Open a New server with your link but I seem not able to connect/enter. Does it require password etc.?
[Adam Android Development] clavicle:
If you are uncomfortable with es File Browser use firefox.

I can download using Firefox, but opera doesn't.
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
Open ES, where it says local (top left) change it to ftp.

Now menu > add server

for server address use "ftp://eto.homeip.net/Shared/NotionInkHacks/"
[Adam Android Development] imgladuhateme555:
Hey, I don't mean to be a bother about this, but not sure if you saw it.

Is there any way you could incorporate text messaging capabilities (the MMS.apk I believe?) in the future? The stock NI rom allows sending and receiving texts with your sim card. It's not a must have, but it is a nice feature.
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
Have you checked if this actually works? I thought MMS.apk only allowed messaging through normal phone bads, not data? Just test it before I add it in
[Adam Android Development] imgladuhateme555:
I tried to test it out, but couldn't get it to work properly. I'm sure I was doing something wrong. Sorry, if I could test it out and save you some time, I would. Maybe if you could provide the MMS.apk from the original rom, I could test it out and see if it would work properly and is as simple as just throwing the apk in. I believe I was using the apk from the samsung galaxy tab because it was easiest to find for me. It does work through the phone bands using the number associated with your sim as if you're texting from a phone. It works on the stock rom, but not in this rom or Utopia (not sure about others).
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
Try putting this file in your /system/app/ folder. Then chage the permissions to 644 and reboot.

ftp://eto.homeip.net/Shared/NotionInkHacks/Mms.apk

if it work ill start adding it to the 3g builds.
[Adam Android Development] imgladuhateme555:
Awesome, thanks. I had put the other one there, but didn't change permissions, which may have been the problem. Gonna try it out now.

Edit: Not sure how to change permissions to "644". I'm using root explorer and all I get when I go to permissions is a grid of check boxes. Any advice?
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
xxo

xoo

xoo

x-checked

o-not checked, or you can read up on linux permissions. its fairly simple
[Adam Android Development] imgladuhateme555:
Sounds good. I tried it out with all the permissions checked (why not...) and it launched and everything, but force closed after I typed in the first 2 numbers of the person I was trying to send a test msg to. I'll try changing the permissions and see if I get better results.
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
It may not work, I took it from the Adam's stock build. It might rely on their framework file
[Adam Android Development] imgladuhateme555:
Yeah, it's still force closing. It's very close to working, but like I said, it force closes as soon as I type the 2nd digit in the "To" field.

Edit: Actually, it works fine if I copy/paste the number into the field. You know the thing where you start typing a number and the drop down pops up with matching numbers and it narrows down as you type? It's like that thing is trying to pop up, but causing the force close. This may be what you mean by the problem being related to framework integration.

It also works fine if you long-press a contact and choose send text, so it's workable, but with that one problem.
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
Mind testing if the one from your phone works? If not maybe one from another tegra tablet, I'll look for that one.
[Adam Android Development] imgladuhateme555:
I totally would if I could, but I have the Sony Ericsson X10, which, if you didn't know, is a total joke/nightmare. It doesn't even have an MMS.apk... I'm not really sure how it works. The way SE has molested this phone makes it a mystery to me. I'll see if I can't find one somewhere and give it a try.

I tried an MMS.apk from CM6 and from a droid, but both do the same thing. They work for the most part, but when typing in a number manually, it force closes on the 2nd digit.
[Adam Android Development] 4r4nd0mninj4:
TEXTS ahoy!

So far I like Beast the best! But I do require SMS. I can confirm that I am able to send and receive text messages on both stock and EdenX ROM's. Would love to see this in Beast. Has anyone else got Line2 to work on the Adam? If so we can text from there.
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
Havent tested but I believe it will work, the only reason MMS isnt added is because it FC's when the predictive speech kicks in, not 100% sure why. I will add it in to the 3g roms, once we get a working texting app.
[Adam Android Development] crodgers79:
Great ROM Josh!

Hey Josh,

I tried EdenX, the PerfTweak and then your ROM. IMHO, yours is the best, fast, smooth, no problems whatsoever after doing three wipes and a standard install. I'm going to see if I can see if I can get the new SPB Shell 3D Launcher to run on-top of your ROM, it FC'd all over PerfTweaked.

Great work!

Hands Down

I'm new to this but have been in IT for over 20 years and your ROM is the best I've seen out here. Thanks a lot. No offense to the other people who have great ROMs this one worked the best for me.

[Adam Android Development] daiuton:
Usually Hulu fails because flash auto updates, the trick is to get on the market asap and go to the my apps., usually you'll find your flash updating, by default its set to auto, just turn off the auto and never update it by the market. Hope that helps

Performance fix

maybe

Try opening your gallery and browser it before fix.

Then change the value in both files below from 128 to 2048:

/sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:16/read_ahead_kb

/sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:24/read_ahead_kb

... I want to buy you a beer sir

Just got the new Beast installed... it runs like a dream... and hulu works... which is all I have ever ever wanted.

Its like Christmas in April!

Never had a problem with HDMI... still dont. This Rom is smooth and very useful. It allows for full use of all the power the ADAM has to offer us, and then some. I cant wait to be able to watch my hulu shows whenever I want... i cant tell you how awesome it is.

When i installed the first time, i tried to update it with wiping the cache data... and hulu did not work still... so I did a Titanium backup excluding the Flash app, then did a fresh install... and hulu worked like a charm after fresh install... restoring all apps now...

I am just happy as a clam!!

Is this going to be re-based on VegaN-TAB? With gb animations and elements?

Maybe even add the NI browser, I much prefer it over stock, but that is my own choice.

But with V-TAB it'd make this ROM the beast ;).

[Adam Android Development] paulikxp:
Yeah, beasty!

I got my Adam 1 week ago, tried Eden and after less than an hour it was clear: EdenX was the ROM of choice. Not for long... Yesterday I flashed this beasty Beast and have to say: what a beast! It's like my Adam is heavily overclocked now (which he isn't), extremely responsive and quick and finally a proper notification bar with time and battery level, I like that (even if the battery-o-meter doesn't work properly: Android says it has 59% left, the symbol shows at least 3/4 full).

Well, I took Adam from the charger 11 hrs ago, did some browsing in the internet today (via wifi) for about 45mins and the battery still has 59% (with all radio off when not needed)! That's very good from my experience so far.

Screen Off widget is a nice one, I would use it even if the automatic screen off function in Android would work on this ROM (which it doesn't).

Thank you VERY much, this ROM is absolutely great. I'm waiting for the next version :)
[Adam Android Development] Misterwally:
Still The Best Rom

Another big thank you to Josh for the best rom for Adam!! I've been moving up with each new version. The Notion Ink stock Rom just does not have the stability of the Beast. :)

xbox 360 controller support

First thing first.. I love this rom, it is def the best one in my eyes at the moment. Thank you so much for your hard work! Its my daily driver for school at ITT and it works great.

I wanted to suggest...

I found a link here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=923801

and

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831699

that shows an interest for xbox 360 controller support in custom roms and it has already been done on a tablet mentioned in that thread.

Would you be interested in adding this to your rom?

It would be awesome to play our emulators with the 360 controller. If possible to control the android os. I believe that other tab that has support is mapped to important android menu butons and trackball.

[YOUTUBE]TCMPpj3pizQ[/YOUTUBE][/QUOTE]

Hope that this sounds cool to you, and possibly stir some interest over here in the adam sections...
[Adam Android Development] paulikxp:
Uh-Oh. No, I didn't and it was indeed set to "never". Thanks for the tip. But what really doesn't work is the restart of GPS without rebooting. But at least it works at all.
[Adam Android Development] Lord_alias:
First of all i would like to say thanks for such a great ROM, it is the only thing out there that truly shows off the Adam and android for that matter =)

I have however got 2 problems, sorry if they have already been talked about lol

1, I cant add contacts using the latest version, or any version for that matter, i am running the latest release on a PQi + 3G Adam overclocked to a constant 1000MHz. when i select add contact it FC's and even trying to access it via long press contact and save doesn't work either resulting in the same error.

2, I cant seem to get this Dataloop thing to work, i have tried writing to the file but it wont save the changes so i guess i don't have permission or something to play with that file :(

Other than that its a fantastic ROM and i look forward to any new additions :)

EDIT: never mind number two lol i stupidly forgot to enable write permissions :S
[Adam Android Development] tinutac:
First of all thank you for an excellent ROM.

I've installed it and it's a pleasure to work with. I solved the problem with SMSes by using Handcent SMS.

I have a small problem with SwitchPro widget. If I reboot my Adam the widget is "broken". The symbols are no longer displayed on it and the buttons don't work anymore (I'm talking about the buttons of SwitchPro). If I go in the properties of the SwitchPro widget and play with it a little bit and I go back to Home then the widget displayes properly (most of the time).

As for the GPS ... I can't get a lock in Ulysse Gizmos but Google Earth can get a lock. Pretty weird.

Looking forward to an overclocked kernal on here. Perhaps overclocked gpu like on the honeycomb rom?

sent from gv1.5 on g2
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
I'm a little busy but I definatly want to learn how to make kernels. Something I'll eventually get too. But by them I might have switched to honeycomb, we'll have to see how fast HC develops.

BTW why would you want the gpu overclocked? I do also but I still don't know why. I never see a slow down anywhere.
[Adam Android Development] no6969el:
I just like having the ability. Plus in the event that anything does slow it down it would run that much faster.

I have tried the honeycomb so far and its nice but not where I want it to be yet.
[Adam Android Development] carlokok:
This ROM works fine for me, however after a few shutdown/starts of the device it doesn't start anymore, a red light on the right side shows and the screen stays blank (but on, I can see the backlight).

Forgot to add: I tried disabling that 2loop thing after this happened the second time, didn't change anything.

my first post in the NI forum.

I just recently upgraded it to Beast 2.2.1.

one of the many problems with the NI:

Even when at sleep and full power initially, it loses power to about 50% by end of day or overnight.

Is there any way to prevent the battery drain?

Or am i too ambitious?

bluetooth problem

Has anyone had a bluetooth problem with the Beast ROM? I have LG HBS700 headset. Initially I had a hard time getting bluetooth to turn on with the phone radio off. I turned the phone radio on and got BT on. Paired. Then turned phone radio back off. BT was still on, but I had to pair again. Seemed to work. Started video and it works for a few minutes and them the headset cuts off and I get silence until I fast-forward and then it goes to speakers.

Then I turned the phone radio back on and BT works.

Why does the phone radio have to be on to use BT?
