Got stock android 2.1 on my pulse

[Guest zerosignull]

Ok, I got a stock android experience on my pulse now. Just all the standard apps that come with the emulator image.

Must say the speed is excellent. A bit faster then the MCR 1.7 i used to run.

The ROM is a bit rough around the ages though and by stock experience i do meen stock. Not overly knowing what im doing here but my rom is missing

* aneroid market app

* google account setup app

* 2g connection

* 3g connection

* still have some t-mobile bits

- Slider is still purple

- Wait cursor thing is still t-mobile version

- green button goes to call log and not dial (GRRRRRRRRR)

* vibrate not working

if ne one has input for helping me fix those issues im all ears. I would like to get a plane to the bone 2.1 ROM for the pulse. Currently i have 43~ mb of phone storage to play with

Post some screens :)

dont have a camera hand to show. Just check out the android emulator image that comes with the SDK and u will be there 100%

Thats pretty much what I did today except one little difference: I just compiled it from tje source :)

If you want to have a vanilla ROM you could just replace framework-res.apk Launcher.apk from the r6 2.1 ROM.

Is sound working for you?

[Guest Daniel Williamson]

So how do you get the stock rom? which files need to be put together?

Dan

1) Download one of Pauls/BoBo's roms

2) Download the Android 2.1 Image from the SDK

3) Unyaffs the Android 2.1 image

4) Delete all the files in the system/app folder from the Paul Rom and replace wiht apps from same place in and 2.1 rom

5) download these tools: http://rapidshare.com/files/249629878/PortTools.rar

6) use the "sign tool" to make ure self a signed ROM that you can install using the recovery mode do-dad

Im interested in getting a "striped to the bone" ROM that contains no fancy frills. Would you mind documenting all the stuff you get to work in the ROM????

Mark.

EDIT2: FYI again... I tried to enable the JIT compiler on dalvik but the phone got stuck in a loop

Can you upload an update.zip for your rom? a2sd enabled?

Will be muchly appreciated!

[Guest zerosignull]

Its not a2sd enabled. Im finding Pauls R4/5/6 ROMS are having stability issues so im testing out how well R1 runs.

I will upload a ROM at some point but until then if you are comfortable rolling your own follow the instructions above and place the attached framework-res.apk in the "system\framework" folder (ive hacked together the standard framework-res and huwai res... wasn't as easy as BoBo implied :)) and get the launcher.apk from the android 2.1 SDK image and put it into "\data\app_s".

So if i replace framework and launcher of my r6 it'll well be as your 2.1 stock right? with all my settings and else..

Thank's

The files that are added in your framework-res.apk, are those necessary files?

And if so, why are they missing in the standard apk?

[Guest eckengucker1]

But did you discovered the vibration driver or d'you know a way how to extract him from the core?

Im adding and replacing all the files in the HW res pack that are in the Standard res pack. You cannot just do a straight swap as HW have put some more stuff in it and thus causes the ROM to bootloop.

Ive uploaded my latest ROM pack here:

http://rapidshare.com/files/387932537/PulseVanila.zip.html

Unfortunate the "free" rapid share account says it will be delete it after 10 downloads :D

MD5: 90B12ECBB216D675CEEF908CBD72F0AA

* based on Pauls R1 ROM (all the things that did not work in that will not work in this!!! IE Wifi)

* Incorporated the STD res Pack into the HW res Pack

* removed a lot of apps

* replaced the core apps with the Vanilla apps (Launcher, Contacts, Phone, Etc)

* Apps need odexing so it will take a good 5 minutes to boot

* Enabled, I think, the Dalvik JIT

* 30 ~ MB free space for apps

Have not had any exceptions in the "core" apps with general day to day running :) Do get some erros when trying to run the SDK emulator .... In general i find the speed to be better then the t-mob ROM but all things are subjective. Ive not got round to de-customizing the touchpal apk so it still t-mobified.

This ROM has all the rom dev tools that come with the 2.1 image so we can now view stack traces on exceptions ;)

If someone with a good internet connection can re-upload this to a decent host it would be appreciated.

Please leave feedback

I have been looking for the vibration driver. If its done anything like in Windows CE vibration will actually come under the status lights ....

[Guest BigBearMDC]

I'll re-upload it to 2shared :)

By the way, how did you eanble JIT?

reports are a 20%-30% speed increase on the droid but it causes stability issues. I'm not a 100% sure ive activated it right. I was expecting the ROM to be buggy with it on, which it isnt, and i can not ADB into my phone from linux for some reason and interrogate the dalvik

[Guest eckengucker1]

You can upload it using "http://www.qooy.com/remote.php" to multiple 1c Hosters (e.g. rapidshare. megaupload and so on)

[Guest Spooke]

Is this any better than the T-Mobile 2.1, does it still crash every so often? thanks
