Ok so i sort of made my own rom for myself to use i removed all stock launchers etc etc, i wanted to use launcher 7 as default laucher, not the se one. but when i full wipe my phone it deletes it as its a downloaded app which then leaves my phone without a launcher, so how do i build it into the system like adw is in the cm roms? so it dosnt wipe when i clear all data on my phone. Thanks in advance.

Edit: I would release this rom to public but its only based on 2.1.1.a.0.6 and most people prefer to use Floyo, Hackdroid etcetc. It dosnt have any extra features its just how i like it with all the crap removed lol, Different framework. Its just the launcher bit whats doing me lol.
[XPERIA X8 General] alil:
install the application, then move it from /data/app to /system/app using root explorer...

restart your phone, it should works..
[XPERIA X8 General] Sgt-Hartley:
Ok thanks ill try that as soon as I get back from dentist
[XPERIA X8 General] Sgt-Hartley:
I don't have a /system/app folder, all stock apps are in same folder as downloaded apps
[XPERIA X8 General] cruizz:
what do you mean with "I don't have a /system/app folder"?have your device rooted?:confused:
[XPERIA X8 General] Sgt-Hartley:
Yes its rooted. But in root explorer the system folder is there but no app folder inside.
[XPERIA X8 General] Sgt-Hartley:
I've sorted it now it was me being an idiot. Lol
[XPERIA X8 General] cuecak:
so... how bout your test,,, its work?? wat happen when u do factory reset ??
[XPERIA X8 General] Sgt-Hartley:
Yes it does what I wanted it to do. Use launcher 7 as default launcher after full factory reset.
[XPERIA X8 General] mrlistersir:
Thanks guys, I was looking to the answer for this!
[XPERIA X8 General] zhang_kaiii:
When I moved a software from /data/app to /system/app ,the software disappeared from the menu ..What should I do now ?:confused:

Reboot your phone. Should work then

Hey guys,

there has been a lot of roms based on both froyo and gingerbread. Now that Honeycomb is on the way there will be even more coming...

Shouldn't we try to categorize them in to some categories according to the version of the operating system? I mean I can't seem to find what I want since the names of the builds don't show the operating system
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] orangekid:
most of them do say, or if you know about Android it's very easy to tell.

CM6.x = Froyo

CM7.x = Gingerbread

Sense (all versions) = Froyo except one build in NAND forum which says GB on it

MIUI = froyo (no gb version yet)

AOSP = froyo (I have not seen a stock aosp gb ROM, but if there was one I can almost guarantee the OP would state it)

keep in mind that most threads do have some version number like 2.3.2, 2.2.1 and even just clicking on the ROM will show it.

it will be a while before you have an actual daily HC build, and the OP will put HC in the thread title (just like the one in NAND does). These guys are pretty good about thread names, I don't think we need to get too pedantic with it.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] perdita2000:
Hi all,

I am having some problems with widgets not loading in Elelinux 7.1.4 RC2 and i supouse they are related to integrated apps2sd. I have moved using adb theese applications to internal storage and I think they are working fine (at least in a couple of hours). Is there any other way to move apps from /sd-ext to /system or adb is just the way to not use apps2sd....

Many Thanks to all and sorry about my bad english..

Perdita2000
[Hero, G2 Touch General] walkinhotdog:
I had this problem a while back when using a CM based rom. I think the best way to use apps2sd is to use the method where you partition your sd card. I think the rom your using has the ability to select the default location of installed apps somewhere in the settings. Dont let it force any apps to sd, choose what apps to move on your own. Hope this helps lol ive always used the partition sd card method
[Hero, G2 Touch General] perdita2000:
Doesn't work...

If you choose internal storage... it uses /data/app which a link to /sd-ext/app so it doesn't work ... If you choose SDcard I think it will use sdcard Froyo method...

Perdita2000
[Hero, G2 Touch General] timbohobbs:
I always move apps to internal with root explorer. I have an ext partition so I move apps from data app to system app and this works fine for me. Don't forget to mount rw and it should work fine : )
[Hero, G2 Touch General] perdita2000:
Using root explorer to move apps method is same a using adb...

Perdita2000
[Hero, G2 Touch General] timbohobbs:
Of course, this is true. Just not as easy as with root explorer for notices : )
[Hero, G2 Touch General] perdita2000:
It's true, what I want ti know is if there is any settings for this??? Un fact I don't think so, but could be wrong...I hope ;)

Perdita2000
[Hero, G2 Touch General] timbohobbs:
There's no settings for this. With ext partition all apps go to SD. It does feel like a conflict to me between froyo apps2SD and the ext method as the phone settings I always leave alone as I think they assume you have the froyo ( Google ) apps2SD. I may be wrong but my guess is a dev like elelinux could do a script but he is so busy producing great work : )

[Droid 2 Android Development] casacristo:
Hello,

I do not have access to a Droid2 right now so please do a NAND backup BEFORE and then try to flash my MIUI D2 ROM[/URL]

IMPORTANT:

Make sure you have a .sbf file to restore the phone to factory state if this rom does not work as intended,

remember I DO NOT own a droid2 (and with the lack of donations it doesn´t look like I will be able to afford one anytime soon)

so unfortunately I can not test whether the rom works correctly, partially or not at all.

ALPHA7:

http://www.ziddu.com/download/14374125/alpha7_signed.zip.html

Install:

make sure you have root and clockworks recovery installed

Warning!!!! Make sure you are on 2.3.320 or 2.3.340!!!

-boot into recovery via clockworks bootstrap

-select "wipe data/factory reset"

-select "Yes -- delete all data"

-go back "powerbutton"

-select "install zip from sdcard"

-select "choose zip from sdcard"

-find and select alphaXX-signed.zip

-reboot

WARNING:

If the rom does not work to perfection (or at all) and you want to help with the porting effort please carry out the following steps:

1) Install the latest alpha (in this thread)

2) (optional if you want to produce a debug log but can not do so)

Before rebooting apply the following patch to enable debugging

3) From a terminal enter these commands:

adb shell stop
adb shell setprop log.redirect-stdio true
adb shell start

and in a separate terminal

adb -d logcat

Now reboot the phone so we get some logs (hopefully)

4) Repeat the process of point 3) with

db -s ? bugreport

5) check the contents of /sdcard/clockworkmod/ for .log files

Get me the resulting output logs... (under /sdcard/clockworkmod/ )

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

If you encounter errors please be as specific as you can in the error report
[Droid 2 Android Development] miketoasty:
Downloading now. Will put in my .02 when I get it up and running.
[Droid 2 Android Development] miketoasty:
As promising as this looks. After downloading twice and copying over twice I can't install it. I get E:Error in /sdcard/miui-d2-alpha-signed.zip (Status 6) Installation aborted.

Any ideas?
[Droid 2 Android Development] Thornfulless Rose:

[Droid 2 Android Development] phrozen87:
Would love to give this a try also if the file gets fixed. There has been a lot of hype around MIUI and I'd like to see if it works any good!
[Droid 2 Android Development] Seanydizzley:
This really made my day. I can't wait to see what comes of this. Looks really promising.

Then I am not sure if you need to sign the resulting .zip or not (try without and see what happens, if it works, or a different error)

Make sure you edit the update-script file within linux or using something like ultraedit or notepadplus

(remember guys I am working blind here as I am not likely to have a droid2 for a couple of months, I need people able to flash the different alphas and report on errors)
[Droid 2 Android Development] miketoasty:
Tried and got same error before and after signing.
[Droid 2 Android Development] casacristo:
yes, the scrip has to be named update-script not updater-script

So try with the correct name and the content in my previous posting

[Droid 2 Android Development] ljbaumer:

In the first version you forgot to add an updater-script and the other thing that is usually in that folder.... I'll add it for you and then test it out, if it works I'll upload it.

Really nice work.

Update: just finished fixing the updater-script and am testing out now

[Droid 2 Android Development] ljbaumer:
I'll try and make another zip thingy.... I think just taking the files from the original zip and then putting them in a new signed one should work out

Update: FML, the rom still doesn't work so I know it is not a zip problem. I am getting a problem on clockworkmod and the log says this happened:

I don't really know how to fix a status 6 problem but supposedly it is a problem with the updater-script and I think I know how to fix that. I am going to try one more build and if that doesn't work I'll leave it to the creator of the rom....

I hope this works...

Would it be possible to use the method used to get cm7 on the

Dx and d2? cvps used 2nd init or something of the sort.
[Droid 2 Android Development] ljbaumer:
Yeah the only way to get MIUI to work on the D2/DX would be to use the 2nd init hack.

I don't really know how to use the 2nd_init hack or else I would have already ported MIUI over ;)

If you get a chance it would be great if someone could send CVPS an email or PM asking for information about how he used the hack.
[Droid 2 Android Development] elvyrorie:
There was a page he wrote up on it. I will see if I can find it.
[Droid 2 Android Development] anmtrn:

that was the page i was going to post thanks for finding that.
[Droid 2 Android Development] ljbaumer:
Ok thanks,

I'll see what I can do, if I figure it out I'll begin work on getting this damn rom to work :-/
[Droid 2 Android Development] anmtrn:
Your Welcome, cant wait to see this ROM in action, i heard that is pretty darn smexy and wanna try it out soon. i would recommend you fork JBirdVegas 2ndinit and hijack to make sure that it will work.
[Droid 2 Android Development] ljbaumer:
For me to get 2nd_init to work I would need to learn C who'd would take me a while. Either that or get cvpcs to do it. One thug we could do would be to all tweet him and ask him to help lol.
[Droid 2 Android Development] phrozen87:
I haven't ever done much in terms of making roms before so I am not really sure exactly how it all works, but I do know C/C++/java and a few other languages that I use for work/school on a daily/weekly basis. I am pretty sure I have most of the dev environments installed on my pcs as I code a lot of other stuff and have the android plugins for eclipse and stuff.

If you are familiar with the rom building process and are able to fill me in I'd love to give a shot to trying to get some of this working. I know how to program in a lot of languages, I just have never done much specifically for android or making roms.

Edit: Bleh, I don't have linux currently installed on any of my machines, which it looks like there is no way to avoid. That said I could try and offer you any C coding help I can. I'm not really all that familiar with Linux, but I guess I'm going to need to suck it up and get a dual-boot setup here in the near future.
[Droid 2 Android Development] ljbaumer:
Woa awesome! I can send you all the files.

You won't need linux cause all you would have to do is a little coding on C and changing some files. Can you send me a PM with ways to contact you and some basic info like what time zone you're on?

Thanks,

[Droid 2 Android Development] elvyrorie:

[Droid 2 Android Development] Framework43:
I'm currently working on MIUI for Nook Color, and I've gotten it to boot, just the GPU accel. isnt there. I know that the Droid 2 and Nook Color have some similarities, so maybe porting it to Droid 2 wouldn't be that hard. I don't have a Droid 2, but I can try to help.

Oh my god it's Framework! I loved your work on the Eris back in the day! If Frame is working on this, then you guys are in for a treat if it gets up and running! Thanks for the possible contribution Framework43.

Dude boss!

Send me a pm with your email and let's see if we can get something up and running!
[Droid 2 Android Development] ljbaumer:
Hey you guys, we were working on it and framework and I were working on a builld and we got the 2nd_init hack from cyanogenmod 7 in the rom. It didn't get past the bootlogo but we are making some progress but we need a testing device! I have a DROID 2 but I don't do a ton of rom development and the Internet where I live has been faulty recently and all of the downloads for me are corrupted so framework needs a device to work on. We can get a DROID 2 online for pretty cheap but we just need about 80 bucks of donations so anything would help!

We are going to put down some money also but neither of us can pay for the whole phone at the moment.

If you guys need some proof that framework43 is good than check out these roms that he's made. The first one is a great rom for the DROID ERIS and the second one is the best version of CyanogenMod available for the DROID ERIS which he ported over and designed it for the lower resolution screens.

[Droid 2 Android Development] Jewremy:
Bricked as in brick-bricked or just needed to SBF? This shouldn't try to overwrite the encrypted bootloader, should it?
[Droid 2 Android Development] ljbaumer:
Bricked as in after 3 sbf trys it finally worked :P

Also this should try and overwrite the bootloader and the reason it doesn't flash is because the meta-inf folder was not made very well.... it is just organized for a different phone and it should have been in the droid 2 order with the android and motorola folder instead of android and google folder. I know that doesn't meen anything to a lot of people and I probably explained it wrong but when I have the time i'll try to fix it for the dev. It will just take a little research.

Thanks,

[Droid 2 Android Development] casacristo:
I have made android roms for the htc desire and htc kaiser with no problems but there is something about the meta-inf with the droid2 that I am missing so your help with the meta-inf would be appreciated.

So in short I have:

Taken a MIUI rom for the droid1 (same processor family)

replaced all the .so libraries with the correct ones for the droid2

Edited updater-script so it sets the correct permissions to the correct files

Edited build properties to reflect the droid2
[Droid 2 Android Development] ljbaumer:
Ok, I just sent you a PM.

Also the only thing you're going to have to fix about your rom is the order of the folders in the meta-inf folder. It's just a little different on the DROID2 and DROID X.

I can explain it a bit more thoroughly later.
[Droid 2 Android Development] casacristo:
Here is another attempt:

ALPHA3:

http://www.ziddu.com/download/14214221/miui-d2-alpha3-signed.zip.html

(try this one, if it doesn´t work then I need to use a different tool to sign the roms so they are compatible with the droid2)

I basically stripped the whole meta stuff except /META-INF/com/google/android/update-script and then signed the rom with ZipSigner (which recreates the 3 meta files)
[Droid 2 Android Development] Jewremy:
