All working good so far for me, Thanks

[amoz]

I've troubles with the non A2SD-version. Music app FC's. Did a wipe before updating.

Paul: awesome work, keep it up. I'm looking forward to the custom kernel versions

How are you guys wiping? I don't want to lose all of my data on my phone

As I understand it, the partitioning tool in Amon RAs recovery images puts the ext partition as the first partition.  Is this a problem?

I was getting endless boot loop before I wiped everything and I mean everything (data/factory,dalvik,ext,battery, rotation). First time wiped only data and dalvik and that didn't work.
Try to back up with Titanium or/and MyBackup apps.

I like many others have had a bootloop after a wipe and install of MCR4 + A2SD.  Interestingly when it was up and I got the SD card in it an 'ls -l' showed a load of dubious info that shouldnt be there.  I revert to my old MCR3.2 and it looks good again, Im thinking I will need to try to format and re-setup my SD card.

I tried to install VillainRom 10 based on this release, and I was stuck boot-looping on the quietly brilliant screen, and tried all manner of wipes, eventually went back to MCR 3.2 and it worked first time....and this rom is effectively based on the same release as VR10, so I guess the problem is widespread.

I am actually going to hold out for the EU release of the 2.1 update I read somewhere this is June 24th? and hope the corresponding radio image is ok to use for Orange UK.

Incidentally what is the best place to use for an HTC unlock code?

Carl.

Great work Paul, before I try it out, can you advise if this release has the wireless tether built in?

Is there a way of checking which order the partitions are on your SD card?

I also used Amon RA recovery image to partition my SD card.

Thanks for any help in getting me this ROM working.

Downloading it now, can't wait to test it out

Paul,

what's the difference with "Added Click-Drag rearrange to Rosie / Sense" ?? isn't this the normal operation??

Just waiting for my first boot to finish ... taken over 8 minutes so far! Did have a fair bit on there, though...

I don't think it does, I used Amon RA (1.5.3.1) and here is my parted printout:

Number  Start   End     Size    Type     File system     Flags
1      32.3kB  7625MB  7625MB  primary  fat32           lba
2      7625MB  8137MB  512MB   primary  ext3
3      8137MB  8169MB  31.9MB  primary  linux-swap(v1)

It looks like Amon RA just asks you for the swap, then the ext, then the fat32 and does them in reverse order.  

I'm just waiting for the Pauls latest release to download then i'll let you all know how i get on.

To get your partition info you need ABD installed on your PC.  Boot to recovery mode (with usb plugged in). Then from dos (in the adb directory) type the below in bold.

D:\Downloads\AndroidApps\ADB\ADB>adb shell
* daemon not running. starting it now *

and thankfully my mms work
29 fps on neocore with sound... awesome, can't wait for an o/ced kernel

Peeps, make sure you are...

- wiping first

Check.

- rebooting after the first boot completes to free up space on /data

If I wipe first, it gets stuck in a boot loop ("silently better") - it never completes (PIN entry).

- if using A2SD having FAT32 as the first partition and the second partition as ext2/3

Check.

Pity! I suppose I can wipe the SD card and start again.

Odd: when I restored my Nandroid backup, Google Maps and Google Voice Search didn't show up in the installed apps.
