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

[Guest Sh4d0w940]

I edited the r6 rom from Bobo and Paul, it has some apps like exchange removed and A2SD+ is working now without having to pull out the SD card.

Would it be helpfull if I shared this rom?

*edit* More important: Paul or Bobo, would you mind if i shared it?

Because you made the rom available and improved it.

So i formatted the SD card. Made a new EXT partition. Flashed r6 A2SD+. Did adb shell mkdir /system/sd. Now it runs better than 1.5 :)

For amateurs like me, how did you do that? (I've got a PC)

[Guest metal6501]

same here as og and marcus awesome stuff no fc fast as 1.7

[Guest screwface]

Anyone tried if louder volume hack still works?

[Guest Bakes]

I seriously doubt that's true. Why would a T-Mobile rom meant to run better in a Non-T-Mobile phone?

I believe it's all a matter of right steps and a bit of luck.

The U8220-6 has newer hardware that could well be closer to the Pulse Mini's than the original U8220, aka T-Mobile Pulse.

This would account for why most u8220-6 users seem to be able to get everything working whilst most T-Mobile Pulse users lose the vibrate functionality.

Again, this is not a port from pulse mini's rom. This is the actual T-Mobile Pulse rom, but a BETA one. That's why none of this make sense.

I tried it and it installed without an problems. I also applied the V2r2 and Headset files and it seems that it works just like it should, no problems whatsoever. Again it may just be a placebo effect but at least there are no complications if you decide to try for yourself. Cheers.

He know's that this is not a port, that's not what he is suggesting. He is suggesting that the u8820-6 actually has slightly different hardware compared to the Pulse and that it's hardware might be close to the hardware on the mini (for the vibrate anyway).

[Guest ernadko]

I`m wondering if BoBo can write one article, how he compile android source code and then flash phone with compiled image :)

[Guest Paul]

Aw, crap, i'm always forgetting /system/sd. lol! Will fix and upload a new version, hah!

Paul, need only create /system/sd !? Or need do more things ?

[Guest starkos]

Is APP2SD actually working for anyone? I understand that creating /system/sd enables the phone to boot, but is it working?

It appears not to be for me, as the directory remains empty, & the available space in /data/app goes down.

Can somebody please explain to me how to create the symlink (think that's what it's called?) between data/app and system/sd/app?

Isn't the only problem to fix ;)

BTW: Can you pin the tutorial I made? It's maybe helpful 4 outsiders.

I would it really appreciate :)

Cheers

Could you please try to fix the vibrate problem too, I don't want to ask to much but that's the only real problem we have now.

Except that the rom is working great.

[Guest Bendolfc]

Vibrate is the only thing stopping me using this :)

[Guest ogiogi]

Turning sync off maybe fixed the market problems for me. Seems to work fine now.

EDIT: Doesn't work anymore :) . Just a coincidence i guess.

Yes A2SD is working. using root explorer i can see that all the apps that i have installed

are actually in that directory. also apps such as roadsync and documents to go are in there.

hope this helps :)

Make the sd folder in system or wait for Paul to fix it.

You could also use this rom:

It is the rom from Paul and Bobo but with sd folder, it also has some apps and ssh removed so it will be faster i hope :)

Ps. To Paul and/or Bobo: If you don't like me uploading this rom please remove it or tell me so i can remove it.

(no apps have been added, just an sd folder with placeholder and some apps have been removed)

[Guest petim]

Paul,

could you whrite in the new rom the contacts and the dialer to run all the time?

(In the 1.7MCR the contacts and the phone manager always stopped themselves, and need 2-5 sec to start again. That is my only problem with my pulse, waiting for seconds to open the call log and the contacts list).

Thank you in advance :-)

[Guest whackster]

Can someone please post the stock 2.1 contacts app? The T-Mobile one sucks....
