twrock,thanks for another rom!!
im going to try this one for im having a lot of FC's in my current 2.2.
if you can, can you tell me how can i change ADW for Zeam launcher in the rom?
is similar to the way you tell in the previous post?

thanks in advance

2.2 having FCs? I never have FC's with 2.2 (CM6.1). I have FCs with every 2.1 rom I use, no matter what I do. YMMV.

Adding Zeam is the same as I mentioned above. You just use the Zeam Launcher APK file instead of the ADWLauncher.apk. Just make sure the Zeam file name has no spaces in it. You can call it whatever you want otherwise (something like ZeamLaucher.apk will work fine).

But why not just install Zeam as any other app and leave it at that? After installation you can choose it as default and you won't ever see ADWLaucher again. Unless you need to save a tiny bit of space in /system, you don't need to go through all that work. Zeam installs and runs just fine when installed as a separate app (vs. being part of the "permanent" rom).

But something tells me that you will have to find an older copy of the Zeam Launcher apk. Doesn't the current version only work with 2.2 and above?

And on another note completely off topic,........
I have finally figured out how to control the initial max CPU frequency in a boot image! (That might not mean much to anyone else, but it was a problem I have been working on for a while.) So now I can finally give Pepe's RBM rom a test run and see for myself if it helps with battery life. Maybe I'll use my newly acquired knowledge to modify the boot.img in this rom to default to 614 instead of 691. Any input from anyone on why I should or shouldn't do that? (And, no, I still have no idea how to compile a 792mhz kernel, so please don't even think of asking.)

First of all fantastic ROM twrock, my respects!!  Its almost perfect, have been testing everything a lot over the last 24 hours.

A couple little things I wanted to ask people out there, is there a way to increase the max media volume slightly, it seems a bit lower than in CM61.  This isn't necessarily a bug since I never get any distortion when paying music loud like I have with CM61 rom, nevertheless, it would be nice to be able to tweak and increase the max media volume..

Also, does anyone know why I am getting this error - I am sure this is from all that experimenting and installing on my SD card an nothing to do with this ROM:
http://attachments.x...98&d=1293989970

when trying to install anything from market?

This is the best ROM for U8220 I have ever tried, well done!

thanks,


Peter


EDIT: the only other bug I can see is that skype still plays conversations through the loudspeaker.  I believe this was  resolved in CM7.  Having said that, skype (I mean Microsoft now), need to get their act together and support more phones for video calls including the Pulse.  Something tells me that they will focus their efforts on Windows phones though..

Media volume is in Settings. If I have it maxed in a 2.1 rom it distorts, so I have it at about 90%.

That "insufficient storage" sure looks like you don't have enough space to install any more apps. So the possibilities I can think of are:
1. You don't have a properly running Apps2SD, so you are out of /data space. You can check your a2sd by typing this in Terminal:

su
a2sd check

That will tell you whether or not apps are being linked to SD. (If you don't see the star, but the bracket are together with no extra space, [], then it is working; but it it has a wide space, [  ], then it is not working.)
2. Your SD ext2 partition is not large enough to install any more apps. Make it bigger.
3. You didn't move cache to SD, so your /data is full from all of those cached files. In that case, in Terminal:

su
a2sd cachesd

That's what I can think of.

I don't understand. Sorry.

[pedrojaime]

@twrock, thank you very much for your help.  I had something weird going on with Dalvik cache - there were two apps in the root directory of my sd-ext partition so cleaned it, rebooted, then re-ran your a2sd commands on page 1 to move cache+apps to SD and now everything is fine thanks a lot

I am a bit intrigued by the output of 'a2sd check'.  It would seem quite hard to figure out what is set and what is not.  When there is a '[   ]' next to an option (as opposed to '[ ]' ), does that mean that option is configured?

I was trying to install a2sdgui but unfortunately this shows up on appbrain.com website and not in the market (yes, tried market enabler also).  When I get more time I am going to look into the a2sd commands more thoroughly.

I also discovered that one of my favourite apps - 'Auto memory manager' actually allows you to customise completely the lowmem settings.  Unfortunately I could not get it to run on this ROM (it says it installs successfully from market but unable to open).

Finally, while there are features of 2.2 which were nice that do not exist in 2.1, more often than not, you can use plugins/widgets/apps if there are things you miss and also, having less bloat in 2.1 definitely makes FTB faster.

cheers,

Peter
PS> I am not touching another rom for at least 6 months!!  Never had so much stability, performance and functinality in any other rom..

That is consistent behaviour in every rom I build with the rom kitchen. But in roms where DT is flashed separately during the install process (CM61 for example), then the stars and other symbols show up between the [ ].

So, in this rom and others that don't properly show the symbols, you have to look at the spacing between the [ ]. If the spacing is wide, it is empty, which means it is not functioning. But if it is narrow, then there is supposed to be a symbol there. That could mean it is working properly, but it also could mean it is working, but not optimally. So it is complicated by the symbols not being visible. Generally, I trust that if it is narrow, it is working properly.

The link is working fine for me. Are you able to download other files from Mediafire? If not, please try a proxy server.

I have installed another 2.1 ROM , but the WIFI can not gain the IP address.
Is it 2.1 bug?

No, that is not a "bug" in 2.1 roms. 2.1 roms should have no problem with Wifi.
What phone do you have and what rom are you installing?
(And you should post your message in that thread, where more people who are using that rom might see it.)

But  a few hours later it work right.

[iKrautDroid]

Keep up the good work!

[jace7]

Hi twrock , just tried your rom - well pleased  . I was getting lots of fc's and phone freezing using fb 1.7 , although that rom used to work fine to . Gonna run your rom for a while , may even stop me upgrading my Pulse , thanks for all the hard work

Hi twrock,




just a short question, does droidwall work with your rom?

I don't know what that is, so I know of nothing I have done to make it work or not work.

[rangeoshun]

Hi!

I used this rom for I don't know a few weeks now, and I have to say great work! I had no fc till yet, and the battery last for 3 days or more, depending the 3g usage. I turn it off, and rarely use it now days. So fine rom, thank you!

The only problem is, wifi sleeps too! Is there a way to stay online, while sleeping?

Cheers!
