15/May r6.1 - BigBearMDC and Paul's Pulse 2.1 ROM

[Guest eckengucker1]

did anyone tried the trick to repair the sd and fix the apps with recovery-mod, make a backup, reboot and recover the backup? It was working with the 1.7 MoDaCo-build in that way...

Guys: wait for the final, official rom!

[Guest jmmL]

Thinking about whether to 'kitchen' this ROM or whether to wait for a new leak... thoughts?

P

How long does it take to put together a kitchen usually?

I'd like one if it's relatively hassle-free to make. Otherwise I guess I can wait a week :)

I would probably only use a kitchen to remove RoadSync and add the wifi status indicator.

Does anyone else have the "Prefer 3G networks" option still? Mine's disappeared - and I tried the usual trick of putting a T-Mobile SIM in, which did not work.

Mine runs fine and fast - I've moved dalvik-cache back to /data as well though.

Just tried google goggles and the application works great. I didnt find it on the market maybe because Pulse its not marked as compatible.

Now I only have to figure it out how to use voice command, its supposed to be on android 2.1 but I cannot make it work.

I saw some guys saying that you need to hold the green button to open it but it doesnt work.

Do you know how to use it and do you now if there's a text to speech Portuguese version?

[Guest tikker]

What worked for me was:

boot into recovery, partition SD card (0 swap, 512 ext2, remainder FAT)

add the update to the fat partition on the card (either with a card reader, or via the USB connection after booting)

reboot to recovery, wipe to factory settings, then flash the update zip and reboot.

The acore stuff is not connected to the SD thing as far as I can tell. I think it's to do with running out of memory / resources or somesuch. Someone said that by cutting down on the virtual desktop sizes and number of icons they eliminated it, but I don't know if that's a proper solution.

Thank you for the reply...

however... somehow now market has vanished from my pulse...

[Guest Sh4d0w940]

Just tested @ r4 and it's working..

Have you enabled it in settings?

That's weird, i'm using r4 too and vibrate is not working.

I've wiped everything using the recovery.

Vibrate is enabled in settings and apps that would vibrate on 1.5 also won't vibrate now.

Does anyone know a solution for this?

[Guest Rem1x]

It should take less then 5mins.

[Guest gusthy]

Added autokiller to r4 and it seems that it helps stability more or less

Unplug your USB cable.

[Guest Sh4d0w940]

Yes, i've wiped data/factory reset, Dalvik-cache, SD:ext partition, battery stats and rotate settings.

That's all the options from the recovery image.

I will make an nand backup now with 2.1 installed and try to wipe everything again after that.

Earlier in the thread someone said the SD card needing reformatting (?) in response to a similar question about boot time. Don't ask me about the specifics, you'll need to scan back through the posts, but it was a only a few pages back.

Did you convert EXT partition to EXT2?

[Guest ogiogi]

WOW Battery life is great with 2.1. Have you noticed that?

[Guest Sh4d0w940]

Did you convert EXT partition to EXT2?

No, is that required?

[Guest eckengucker1]

Did you convert EXT partition to EXT2?

default it's EXT2 isn't it?

[Guest Stevos]

Hmm, I had that happen with one attempt I did, but I think that was when my SD partition was using ext3 not ext2, and I inserted the card after booting the device (which also seems to be a no-no at the moment)

All I can suggest is making sure your partitions are right (ideally freshly formatted), and wiping all the data using the recovery menu to wipe to factory state. Obviously always make sure your backups are safe.

With these various ROMs, radio ROMs, backup systems, data partitions, internal and external phone memory, it's not always clear what needs to be wiped and what flashed, nor what the tools do in detail. I'm digging around for more information on how this all works as I know too little about it.

[Guest Sh4d0w940]

default it's EXT2 isn't it?

It is, I'm now in recovery wich i used to create the partition and it says ext2

You've had it for less than 24hrs :)
