Guest lemmyc Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 I flashed to this ROM after using the Hungarian 2.1 Now for the first time the links on the launcher icons are mixed up. Is there a fix for this? I'm guessing that's a 'no'? As far as App2SD is concerned, do I need to set up the partitioning on my SD card specially? Is the default partitioning done by the ROM install not right for App2SD? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the default partitioning done by the ROM install not right for App2SD? Thanks! The ROM does not configure the SD card for you, no. You can use Recovery menu to setup the partitions for A2SD. Mine are set as follows: 0MB swap (compulsory) 512MB EXT2 (for apps) remainingMB - FAT32 (for storage) Your EXT partition does not have to be 512MB - it is up to you. Having said that 512MB should be more than enough when you consider the vast majority of Android apps are very light weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, should A2SD just start working after I've made the changes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JohnPorter Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Thanks for that. Does this mean a fresh install after partitioning? If not, should A2SD just start working after I've made the changes? It may start to work if you do it and then re-boot the phone. If not, re-flash the rom and everything should be fine....

So you would need to install the UK 2.1 Update, install Clockwork and then this rom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Watt25 Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Did you changed something about memory management? With the unmodified UK 2.1 ROM I can play Super KO Boxing. (Sometimes it's quits but very rarely.) With this ROM it's quits almost instantly the real game starts. Can I reset the memory settings somehow?

Guest D-D- Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Sorry for bringing this up, but it's for flibb (well he is the one that made this rom). Could u add swap (after getting it to flb-mod) on this one too? Cause I just love the canvas and doesn't work on flb. So this is the nearest substitute I've found. Tnx and sorry for bothering u.

Could u add swap (after getting it to flb-mod) on this one too? Cause I just love the canvas and doesn't work on flb. So this is the nearest substitute I've found. Tnx and sorry for bothering u. If I am understanding your question, supposedly the rom update Fibblesan posted here will work with this UK2.1CCR rom. Install this CCR first, then flash that update. I haven't done it with this rom specifically, but I have with other roms. Incidentally, I suspect you can "push" the canvas launcher back onto most any rom laying around here. Again, I have not done that specifically, but my other experience leads me to believe it will work. You should be able to copy Launcher.apk and Launcherdb.apk files out of the UK2.1CCR zip file and use adb to push them back onto whatever other rom you like (assuming that rom is rooted). Disclaimer: do this at your own risk, but you should be able to get out of any trouble by restoring a backup or reflashing an updata. Edit: Since I was fooling around, I went ahead and pushed Canvas onto my TWeak 0.3 rom with the swap kernel installed as well. Yes, it works. But I think you might need to do a wipe after pushing those files over. Somehow my ADW Launcher settings caused a real mess with the initial Canvas setup. As always, YMMV. Good luck.

I know I'm posting this a little (or much) too late, but somehow I missed this post. Since the huawei launcher is still my fav, I must ask u, when u pushed it did the buttons worked as they supposed, like the message icon is for messages and the applauncher icon is for the apps (if u remember that is)? Cause when I played back then I had problems with using the message app and the contacts app (cause it searched for the default ones from huawei). I was about to try and open the app in eclipse or something (if possible) and try to find where the dock has the icons defined. BTW, tnx for linking the post I was looking again. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Hello all. Does anyone still have a copy or link to this version of the T-Mobile UK ROM with Fibblesan's slight modifications? The link to it no longer works :-( I have somehow managed to loose the copy I had and would like to reinstall it for a friend. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest D-D- Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Here is the link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15703389/r1-update...gned%282%29.zip But it will be active tomorrow or something... Not uploaded yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Thank you very much D-D- that is very kind of you. It says that it is R1 whereas the last version was R2a.... did you re-label it or is it the first release that Fibblesan made with the couple of bugs in it?

Guest D-D- Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 (edited) Hah... Didn't see that. It's the one I used for modifying the flb-rom. I actually flashed flb rom and changed the contacts app, added the dialer and added the launcher and huawei stuff that wanted to have in it. And for the r2a u should ask fibble. This is the only one I have left from it. EDIT: it says that the file was modified in 15-08-2010, so I guess I downloaded it then. And since the post is edited in 07-08-2010, I guess I fibble didn't change the name or something. Still, ask him.

Guest Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Thanks for the response Fibblesan. I didn't think you would look on here much these days. I am guessing you will be rather busy assisting Tom G with his work on Cyanogen for the Blade..... I am very much looking forward to the results as it seems to be flying along! Hoping the other cellular frequencies can be unlocked too so that it operates better abroad (given that its now been unveiled for the US market if somewhat belatedly). Apologies to the Pulse forum members for mentioning the Blade... ahem :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
