I heard the on board ericcson 3307 3g module does not support voice cellular calling, but if there is a work around that would be very cool. I have even thought changing out the ericcson module for one that would work might be a way to go for someone who really wants the cellular calling feature. I think the module is plugged into a mini pci.
[Adam Android Development] imgladuhateme555:
Thanks, man! Just got around to flashing today and the rom is working great so far.

Simply renaming the Phone.apk and TelephonyProvider.apk files should make 3G work, right?
[Adam Android Development] no6969el:
My Hdmi wasnt working on utopia rom.. I fully wiped and flashed this rom (which really is a beast I love the way it runs..) but unfortunately it still doesnt work.

What files are needed to ensure hdmi is working?

Am I able to push them over to the system again to ensure that it works?

Any suggestions?

I could flash back to stock and test but I would much rather an adb type "push" solution.
[Adam Android Development] wonderwout:
Thanks for this ROM, don't like Eden much at the moment so it's great to have a choice.

I've been running Utopia for a few days and I was able to sync my Exchange through the default Android email app. Flashed this ROM (only Cache wipe) and my Exchange account was gone. Actually the Android email app to manage this account is not present. Also unlike the original Utopia the app "WidgetPicker" keeps FC-ing.
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
SIP calling definitly works. I was using it for a few days, but you need to revert the Phone.apk removal and take a possible battery hit.
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
Yes, and a reboot. I will be releasing a new version in maybe a few days that should solve some peoples issues. =]

Maybe even later tonight, if I feel like not studying for finals, lol
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
I believe it is from the data2loop hack which make the /data partition into ext2, the filesystem is much better then fat. This was made into the default filesystem for android 2.3, when we get honeycomb our whole internal will be ext4 i believe
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
I completely removed the Email.apk, I'm actually gonna add it back in the next release, in for others to use. Not everyone only uses gmail.
[Adam Android Development] imgladuhateme555:
Nice. I got it working. Also, my HDMI works fine. IDK why everyone has trouble with HDMI. I was running Utopia and people were saying their HDMI wasn't working on that rom, but mine was fine on that one, too.
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
I think hdmi is already enabled in this rom... It works fine for me, I remember looking through some files and finding when a 1920x1080 display is enabled, i believe when snooping around through the boot image. maybe check your on the correct hdmi input if you tv has multiple. otherwise im not sure whats wrong.
[Adam Android Development] Meekos:
wau...

..this rom is freaking fast! It's like flying and makes using the tablet a true positive experience. Now I want to use it. :) Thanks man!

Well I did like mail'd and the lightness of the adam browser...

Edit: maybe a version with 3g support? Please!
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
It'll be up soon.

I'm working late, its almost 5AM, which means really 6AM. I'm going to church at 9. And I have a final at 10AM on Monday =]

BTW v1.3 has NotionInk Email which I believe has exchange support, couldnt get adam browser to work on my rom...

It seems My Adam does not recognize usb harddisk. Is it a rom issue? I did not check that with the original rom.

Download link doesn't work
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
If your trying to download from a phone my ftp server wont be able to give you the file through a browser. You gotta use something like ES File Viewer an just enter the links address as the server name.

Or you can use a computer and just put it on your sdcard
[Adam Android Development] no6969el:
so would you recommend a wipe if..

so would you recommend I wipe or can I just flash this over the beast 1.2?

Also was flash fixed in this one? (sry if I missed it in the posts above i tried to search for it)

Another note : I didnt experience the reboots that you spoke of, so would it be safe(I see your warnings in the first post I only mean "safe" like .. will it work?) without wiping?
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
In all honesty you can be the tester is you like =] (should hurt too much as long as you have app backups)

Flash should now autoinstall, just not necessarily on the first boot. I believe you can flash over 1.2, unless of couse you don't want the data2loop hack anymore. But if you experience boot loops or force closes your best bet is to just format /data, flash zip, then titanium restore.

I'm running v1.3 right now (for about 2hours) and it seems more stable, not sure why. Quadrants are sticking at 2900 and I haven't had a force close yet. Actually I commented out the first ling in /system/etc/init.d/run.sh and now quadrant advanced runs (that was the only thimg force closing)
[Adam Android Development] wonderwout:
I came from Utopia and only wiped cache, no issues relating to wipe for me.
[Adam Android Development] no6969el:
Just wanted to update that I just flashed the Beast 1.3 over the Beast 1.2 and I do not report any issues. I still have my HDMI issue (but this is not the rom as ive had it past two roms and we need to start a thread with people who have this issue because it might end up being hardware) but everything else is working great, flash works and I was able to open my browser to where I was last (since I just flash over) and the flash page worked :)

Note: I did wipe the cache then flash
[Adam Android Development] xigam:
Can you explain the pro.zip file? I noticed there is no beastrom 1.3 pro file... just beastrom 1.3

Thanks.. I am really enjoying my Adam much more since flashing your Tom....
[Adam Android Development] slackaz:
I tried installing it about 5 times and all that happens is when I reboot the red light comes on my adam... any clues?
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
Did you delete data first, this might help. If you really wanna run this and can't get it to work edit the zip (without opening it) to disable data2loop feature as this is likely your problem.
[Adam Android Development] slackaz:
Yep tried deleting. Also, how do I edit something in a zip without opening the zip?
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
In ubuntu i just double click the zip. find the file. Edit it. All without unzipping.

in windows you might wanna look at 7zip.

If you still have trouble ill just post a version with it edited.

One great rom for my adam!

My 3g is now working perfect no more FCs!

But, the music player doesn't seem to pick up songs from my microsd card. Installed DRM apk from addons.

Even tried Winamp, selected option of mounting sdcard, still no success!

Any suggestion?
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
Ill take a look at this. I dont think drm.apk is used for that... Probable where the music app is looking. It needs to search a non default location. /sdcard2
[Adam Android Development] slackaz:
Oh, I just figured that constituted re-zipping.

Anyway, I found out that whatever I did it would not install properly through Clockwork. Anytime I tried to install through Clockwork it would just hang on a red light.

I discovered that the only way to get it working for me was to nvflash back to the original rom and install that way. Odd huh?

Has anyone else had a successful install through clockwork?
[Adam Android Development] Misterwally:
Getting Music Players to see Music on sd card 2 and thumb drives.

I think this a problem in the original Notion Ink Rom as well. It seems that the Android music player (Or winamp and as far as I know any other player} really only looks at the internal Sd card when looking for music files. The only way I could get them to play from the external card was to find them in sniffer and then play them through sniffer on the music player of choice. This really is counter intuitive because you can't really develop a music library from sd card 2. Sd card 2 is the only place you can put enough storage for a large music collection, aside from usb drives which the music players can't see either.

I discovered a work around at Notion Hacks http://notioninkhacks.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=1504 by swapping sdcard 1 with sdcard 2. There is an interesting exchange of ideas there and the swap suggestion by {bronder1} worked perfectly for me. Another member{Slakaz} had a way of disabling sd card 1 altogether. I suggest reading the entire thread.

Josh4trunks has done a great job on this Beast rom, I would say it is the fastest one out there. the other issue that might be looked at as well is the drives in usb ports not being seen by music players. Maybe Josh can figure a way to get music players seeing the music in sdcard 2 and in drives in the usb ports and place a fix in his rom?

For now I'm thrilled with the sd card swap. With the swap my music players see and place all my music files in their library's in what was formerly sdcard 2. Sd card 1 is still there it now is just called sd card 2.
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
Ive been using clockwork for a bit. Without nvflashing.

glad u got it working.
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
Actually on my list to take a look at doing some tricks with vold. Like enabling 2 usb sticks, a ext4 sdcard. I think the problem ur experiencing is app dependent. We need a music app that allows importing folders
[Adam Android Development] Misterwally:
Just after I finished my last post that thought occurred to me. It is really the music players that are not set up to import folders. I guess we have to remember the apps were designed for phones where there was only the micro sd slot. Things are starting get interesting with these new devices that have more connectivity.
[Adam Android Development] Misterwally:
For those who are interested. I found a Android music application that can import music from both Adam's sdcard 1 and also Sd card 2 It is called power amp. It also has an equalizer, base, volume, and treble controls. I tested the free trial version. The pro version is $4.99 on Android market. It cannot find folders on USB mounted drives.
[Adam Android Development] clavicle:
I have tried Mort Player and it can read through the sdcard too. So for the time being this is a good option. Since equalizer is available for 2.3 and above, we may find this option coming through in the honeycomb update.
[Adam Android Development] jupppo:
Hey man,

thanks for the great ROM. I flashed it over Utopia (just cleared cache partition) and it works like a charme.

Don't know why you added these buggy NI Software like Sniffer or Mail'd, but the overall impression is great. I can confirm that the compass is stuck in the application (GPS Status & Toolbox) as well as th x-y sensors (also only inGPS Status & Toolbox) .

I had the ADW launcher installed on the Utopia and couldN't complete the first boot (FC at laucher choose). On the second boot it went fine.

Thanks again!
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
I figured some people asked for it, and some others wanted something with exchange support so mailed fit the bill. For sniffer we needed a file browser and except for its lack of functions i actually need sniffer is great, (and ive never experienced bugs with it.)
[Adam Android Development] jupppo:
Thanks for the explainantion. Since I did not use these apps I didn't recognized.

However, please don't see my questions about the NI apps as critisim, I really like that ROM a lot.
[Adam Android Development] clavicle:
Thanks for sdcard toggle (though still waiting for how to:D)

Installed it and thing is meeting all the expectations!
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
Your volume keys probably arent working... Flash the 1.3to1.4 update then you can fix it by changing /system/usr/gpio-keys.kl to match one of the files in /system/etc/shuttle/ and rebooting.
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
I always full wipe before flashing and have never had hdmi be an issue on any rom. I'm gonna be experimenting with using the stock kernel a bit tonight, might make a version and see if people like it more...

[Adam Android Development] atultiwari:
I am unable to mount my 500 gb portable hard disk.

Tried both ntfs and fat32.

Can any1 suggest me how to do that?
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
im not sure what the usb disk's normal mount point is, might be '/mnt/usbdisk' it'll be in your /etc/vold.fstab file. open a terminal, you can get connect bot from market. and run

su #accept the thingy that pops up
mount -t ntfs /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/usbdisk #change /mnt/usbdisk to whatever it normally is

you should now have it mounted and it should be in sniffer too. ntfs is only readonly for now...
[Adam Android Development] clavicle:
Isn't 128gb the limit for adam? I think that is the reason why.
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
This is a limitation of vfat the filesystem that our current vold will autoinstall. You can put a harddrive on the device and manually mount it (untill we get a better vold...) and it will be usable. Only this is our kernel doesn't support writing on ntfs drives. I personally prefer ext4 (which our kernel can write on) but thats cause I'm a linux guy.
[Adam Android Development] jupppo:
Hi Josh,

great! Is the new Beast based on latest NI Kernel (22. Mar) ?

.
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
Nope, didn't know if I'd gain/lose functunality. I'm using the kernel that StephenH made for Perf Rom which has added ntfs support. I might test our the kernel though later tonight.
[Adam Android Development] jupppo:
Would be great, I have stability issues ith the current beast. The Adam seems to lose settings (in applications) over time, especially after sleep/wakeup.

Also NI Support told me that the new kernel drastically improves batt life (Cannot verfy whether true or not)
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
Well it's 430AM for me but why not I'm gonna try it out. For stability v2.0 should help alot cause data2loop is disabled by default, though you can always enable it like I do =]

---

Anyway gonna try out the kernel and see if I see any changes.
[Adam Android Development] jupppo:
Well, then you should better get some sleep :-)

I will try dataloop out, although it is only a minor glitch....

how to prepare sdcard?

Hello,

Before i flash the 2.0 version, i would like to know how i should prepare my external sdcard. it is a 32 GB class 10. it will swap from sdcard2 to sdcard right with beast 2?

should i partition it with a Fat32 (like 2 GB to allow transfer from PC) and the rest EXT4 30 GB? then install beat 2.0?

Will the fat32 be mounted on PC or will it disappeared after the swap?

sorry if that sounds easy...

TX

CJ

SORRY SORRY, i just read i will loose the possibility to mount my NTFS/FAT32 part of my SDCARD...

What are the solution to copy data to the adam then?

TX:)
[Adam Android Development] jhankg:
So is there a possibility that you're release an update or different version using the newest kernel anytime soon? The old kernel causes a lot of problems for me.
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
Can You please elaborate the problems your are encountering so we can see if the new kernel makes a difference?
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
If your external sdcard is completely fat32 then you wont lose computer mounting. I haven't tested if there are multiple partitions yet. If you would like to test this then just post if your computer mounting broke or not.

Also you don't need to connect your adam to transfer files, I rarely do. I just pull everything off my server from ES File Explorer. But then again I have a server settup =]
[Adam Android Development] Misterwally:
Hi Josh,

Hey dude your putting in a lot of time on this Beast Rom. I think I speak for all when I say thanks for your effort!!

I just flashed 2.0 and it looks good so far. I was having some stablity issues with 1.4.

I can't wait to see what NI's Honeycomb will look like and what you may able to do with it. I'm still wondering if we will see a hacked version before NI has a release.
[Adam Android Development] cedricj:
ok tx for this...

Now i am kind of screwed for another reason. I reparition the internal sdcard by mistake using clockwordmod, thinking it was the sdcard2. The only choice was 4 GB...

Now i lost the 2gb/6gb paritioning and cannot do anything anymore.

will try to unbrickit tomorrow, if i can. te nvflash utility just give me some unknown device found.. and exit...

i keep you posted!

Tx for your help so far :)

quadrant scores

Well i just flashed 2.0 and got a quadrant score of 2914, which was better than what i had with the 1.4 version. I am going to flash the new kernel and see what it measures at and let you know.
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
Quickest thing is no nvflash
[Adam Android Development] turtle555:
Well i got a quadrant score of 2816, with new kernel. GPS Is working again, played video's fine. It has been a bit laggy, when going to different screens. I might be going back to the other kernel, just for it's smoothness.

I can make u an update zip to revert if you want.
[Adam Android Development] zenglh1988:
Hi, all. Any known bugs have been fixed in the new version?

KNOWN BUGS

*Compass

*Accelerometer Axis switched in some apps

*GPS doesn't lock on some apps after being turned off and on

*facebook sync

*upsidedown camera capture in portrait mode

*Some apps don't show in market, even after market fix (ex. Google Earth)

*mouse cursor lingers after being unplugged

*Camera constantly refocusing / clicking
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
nope... only changes in first post. Hoping to resolve compass soon, but it's been alot of work so far
[Adam Android Development] turtle555:
Kernel zip

That would be really cool, I think more people could test out Kernels easier if we have a kernel to flashback to. I was thinking that just flashing 2.0 again would revert it back it to the original kernel that you had in your ROM. As for the GPS issue, I think the problem i had is very similar to what a lot of people ran into. I used the GPS on a 300 mile drive and it worked flawlessly, and then i turned my ADAM off and when i turned it back on, GPS would not turn on. I was just thinking that I needed to read a little more and find out what solutions that others had figured out for this. Thank you for your work and your support!:)
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
Your right. I though reflashing my rom would have consiquences but now that i think about it that should be just as good, and should be totally safe.

GPS is weird on adam. if you turn it on for the first time since boot it works well, but never locks for navigation. Once you turn off/on the gps you no longer get location in many apps, but some like map dryod still work just fine.
[Adam Android Development] jupppo:
Hi Josh,

I tried yesterday night you NI Kernel Version. It looks like from the built number it is not the newest, rather the Feb. Version.

I also installed the NI Softwareware update to test it out. Works much better than the previous ones and it really give me about 15% more battery life!

Unfortunately I am used to your ROM and the performance (especially under dolphin HD) sucks now on the Stock Rom.

Greetings from Germany

.
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
It is the newest kernel. I just didn't update the build.prop file so it will say the older version.

I'm working on integrating the kernel into my rom, just give me a day or two.

SDswitch not working?

Hello,

not sure if someone tried it on the 2.0 version of Beast but it does not work for me.

After the second reboot i get a "sdcard damaged" showing up.

if i put then take my external on my pc it is fine, i can read existing data on it (nothing seems corrupted)...i can write data to it...

It is a Class 10 32GB..

if it was an issue with the sdcard, it would be unreadable afterward right?

and please juppo, tell me constructive, if you want to reply!

How should it be formatted? (fat32 or ntfs?)

Best

dico
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
Did you enable the sdcard switch? If not it most likely means the internal sdcard. External sdcards should probably be formatted fat32 because my next revision wont support ext4 until we get a modded kernel. Good luck, may check another rom and see if the sdcard is still a problem. Or try v2.1 out.
[Adam Android Development] cedricj:
i did enable the switch yes...
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
Hmm not sure then. doesnt seem like a hardware failure cause your card works in your comp...
[Adam Android Development] cedricj:
PROBLEM FIXED: looks like android does not like the quick formatting under windows option under windows neither extended partition.

So primary partition and long format did fix the problem!

TX so much for your support!
[Adam Android Development] imgladuhateme555:
What exactly does enabling the data2loop do? I understand it brings a performance increase, but how/why? Also, why does it bring the risk of data loss, random reboots, etc?

Without data2loop I'm getting just under 2200 on quadrant. Was getting 2800+ with other versions of this rom that had data2loop enabled. I'll probably enable it soon since I'm not worried much about the risks, just curious about what it changes.

Edit: Yeah, that wasn't worth it. I enabled the data2loop and it killed my home button (doesn't do anything now), long press power button only gives the option for "power off", and quadrant didn't even improve 100 points (under 2300).

Edit 2: IDK what the deal is, but everything is acting sketchy, even after clearing the cache, doing a factory reset, and re-installing the rom. Talk keeps saying "google talk authentication failed" and Launcherpro won't let me do a backup, it says "An error occured while trying to create the backup. Please make sure the SD card is available."
[Adam Android Development] josh4trunks:
Did you clear data? To disable the data2loop feature you must edit the line back to 0. Then clear data and reboot. You should be back to a normal rom after that.

-Ohh and your experience seems horrible, sorry about all the trouble. Ive never had anything nearly that bad. Just lost a little system/homescreen data. And I alays get quadrants in the 2900+ after applying.
[Adam Android Development] imgladuhateme555:
I enabled it (switched it to 1), didn't clear the data, but did a couple reboots (which took longer than normal as you said they might) and didn't see the performance increase. After that, I just cleared/factory reset and re-installed the rom and it started acting strange.

No biggy on the trouble. I know things don't always go perfectly. I had a NAND backup, so I just reverted. I might give this latest version another try some other time when I'm feeling more patient. Today hasn't been the luckiest of days for me haha. I just couldn't figure out why I was getting those strange errors.
