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

[Guest Paul]

You can access the reovery mode through PWR + Menu + Red (End) Key

But there is no recovery image yet.

I created one yesterday, but with the wrong comdline [i think], so network wasn't working.

I'll try to patch it and upload it in a few hours when I'm at hom from school again :P

The existing recovery image works fine...?

P

[Guest Josh04]

^ Cheers :P

I'm still using the Amon-Ra recovery file, never changed it. Works fine for me?

To add to bugs, no vibrations.

[Guest le_lutin]

Thanks Paul for your hard work on this. I just went ad-free!

[Guest BigBearMDC]

Oh, ok, I thought there would be a problem with the kernel :P

[Guest ogiogi]

Recovery works fine.

[Guest sopdu]

btw. I found another bug, pressing the Green call button goes straight to Call Log and not Dialer

yes it´s a feature, but at 1.5 you have the option to choose, contacts, dialer pad, calls, favorites

[Guest robot1000]

Also charging seems to be a problem. The battery charging screen never appears and when I switch the phone off when the charger is plugged in, the phone just reboots

[Guest robot1000]

I think that's not a bug but a feature.

It's the same on my phone too.

But there's no choice to choose dialer, contacts etc. from that menu

I think that's related to some other things that got flashed with the update.

When I plug my Pulse in while its powered off, it switches on and directly shows the loading screen.

That's a big improovement, as with the older update the Pulse booted up completely, but just showed the loading screen instead of the welcome screen.

[Guest robot1000]

I've also got some issues with there being no sound.

I've tried a wipe, but should I restore the partitions on my SD Card?

[Guest rjm2k]

did anyone else get the following error at the end of the flash?

Deleting files...

E:Can't chown/mod /data/xbin/set_resolvconf

E:Failure at line 369:

set_perm 0 0 0755 DATA:xbin/set_resolvconf

Installation aborted.

[Guest rss2k]

Good job Paul * BigBear, things have moved fast last day.

Does the new kernel in this ROM already support EXT2/3/4?

[Guest bindi]

I think that's not a bug but a feature.

It's the same on my phone too.

That's the way it worked for me too...on MCR 1.7

WIPE WIPE WIPE

I think that Paul should include that in the OP, as alot of people are asking about thise

[Guest robot1000]

Yes, but there were tabs at the top so one could easily get through to the dialer menu

[Guest robertopero]

Thanks Paul & Bobo for the hard work.

I haven't got time to try it now, so please somebody make a video of the phone. Navigate in the menu, start an application to see the phone's speed. Thanks!

[Guest Josh04]

The dialer is a T-Mobile bug.

[Guest MRond]

A few questions before i flash this new rom.

* Must i wipe my system before i flash ?

* If it don't boot can i restore my nandroid backup or does the recovery-menu not working anymore.

* Are there more risks ?? ( if have flashed somtimes before but last time it goes wrong:S But i have restore it.)

Tanks ,,,

[Guest robot1000]

Is it worth Wiping the SD:ext Partition when installing this ROM?

I'd say you should wipe before you flash this ROM.

You can restore your nand backup, that shouldn't make any problems.

There is always the possibility to brick your device, but usually, flashing an update.zip is pretty safe unless you try to flash another radio firmware or something like that.

So don't worry, you won't brick your device :D

I found out that bricking the Pulse is nearly impossible :P

[Guest angryland]

thx for your great effort :P

[Guest ogiogi]

Love the new Market :P

[Guest vsandz]

Massive upgrade/improvement from Cupcake to Eclair (r1), the touchscreen is MUCH more sensitive .. i can now place my phone flat on the table and still use it (as opposed to having to hold it in my hand)

PS: Thanks so much for all your efforts. This forum rocks! :P
