2.1 Vanilla based on r6

[Guest Josh04]

ext3 is backwards compatible. You can mount both ext3 and ext4 as ext2 and they will work fine, just without their added features.

[Guest masterpfa]

Lol, ext3 shouldn't even work! What rom are you using & is a2sd definitely functioning when using ext3?

I don't think it was even working with ext2 :)

I'm using Update 4, the last one posted, I will check to confirm (I doubt) that A2SD is enabled.

ext3 is backwards compatible. You can mount both ext3 and ext4 as ext2 and they will work fine, just without their added features.

Cheers ;)

They haven't been with any of the roms though? I've been using ext3 from the beginning & the only way for the phone to get past the android boot screen was to use ext2. Do you know how to get it so ext3 is compatible then, because that would be very useful?

I've changed the build.prop a bit:

ro.product.brand=T-Mobile

to

ro.product.brand=hw (loads hw-files e.g. "system>cust")[/codebox]

added

[codebox]##
####Added by Eckengucker for MoDaCo

##Rington FIX

ring.delay=0
ro.telephony.Call_ring.delay=0

##Time between scans in seconds. Keep it high to minimize battery drain. This only affects the case in which there are remembered access points, but none are in range.

wifi.supplicant_scan_interval = 30




##Multitouch requires driver+"android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch" in "required_hardware.xml"

ro.product.multi_touch_enabled=true
ro.product.max_num_touch=2

Hi is this applicable to 2.1 Vanilla based on r6 Update 4 and are these applied by pulling "build.prop.zip" from our phones and replacing with your enclosed "build.prop.zip"?

This is what i did :)

ADB push C:\build.prop /sdcard/build.prop

ADB shell

$ su

# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system

# cat /sdcard/build.prop > /system/build.prop

# mount -o remount,ro /dev/mtd/mtdblock6 /system

# reboot

[Guest eckengucker1]

I took the build.prop and made a few changes

You can walk to ways (always backup your old one):

Way 1.

- extract the build.prop

- copy it to your sd-card

- copy it from where with Root Explorer to /system

Way 2.

Code:

adb push build.prop /tmp/build.prop

su

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system

cp -f /tmp/build.prop /system/build.prop

ls -l /system/build.prop

-rw-r--r-- root root 4263 2010-01-21 11:01 build.prop

chown root.root /system/build.prop

chmod 644 /system/build.prop

So basically you've managed to remove the ringtone delay for calls, upped the wifi-refresh, added (working?) multitouch and improved the sound and video?

[Guest Bendolfc]

Is the ring tone delay the annoying thing where you cant actually answer the phone for the first few seconds of an incoming call?

[Guest eckengucker1]

Yep.

But 4 multitouch u've to go deeper into the system. I've got an idea :)

The way i posted works too :) and its shorter aha

Nice work on the build.prop anyways

are there any other files like this in the android image which can easily be changed?

Thanks

Basicly you can change any file but you've to do that in bootloader-mode :)

OK strange as it seems, I have been running 2.1 Vanilla based on r6 update 4 by Sh4d0w940 for nearly 3hrs now but with ext3 partition and since then, NO FC's or android.process.acore or any problems what so ever!!!! :(

I don't know if it was the wipe of everything AGAIN or the re-flashing of this ROM or the ext 3 and I haven't even changed the build.prop as provided by eckengucker1 here, strange. OK Nandroid back up and push build.prop.

P.S. Why oh Why do T-Mobile think people would actually like the Pink Theme they add to ALL their phones ;) :) :D

I will include some of your changes in the rom if you dont mind :D

And I didn't delete servo search, it isn't in the r6 from Paul and Bobo either.

Does A2SD work with your ext3 partition?

Because I think it is just disabled like it would without an ext partition, and that's why it's more stable. (A2SD+ is not completely stable)

When you're going to upload an 5th update with all the changes?

I'm just waiting that to change from r6 to your version ;)

Been using this all day, works beautifully :)

T Mobile subsidized the phone thats why they've added it.

I believe that's not his point =X

Not me either, I think he's more reffering too as to why they choose the color pink, probably because he doesn't like it. I guess I'm the odd man out here, I quite like how they'e mixed pink and black. The two contrasting colors create quite a big impression together, but the again that might just be me being metrosexual :).

Ha! Ha!! That's exactly what I meant, it's not a neutral colour and for me, anyway, I prefer either the Vanilla theme or something less "Shocking" ;)

I'm majoring in advertising and I can say that: at semiotic (don't know the english equivalent :D) point of view Pink on Black refer to Classy High-Tech Product. Altought from my personal point of view it only looks cool for the first 5 minutes, then it's starts looking very annoying :)

No A2SD doesn't seem to be present (No SD Secondary in the SD Card & phone storage settings). Having said that I seem to be running OK without A2SD and 30 or so apps installed.

OK eagerly awaiting Update 5 now :)

Well, been using my own build for almost 24hrs now without a single FC or reboot & has been running very smoothly, then......3 reboots in the last hour for no reason! :) Wasn't even using the phone the first time, just felt the dreaded vibrate at boot lol!

Well at least we know the Pulse is actually capable of running Eclair smoothly, just wish they would hurry up & release a stable final!
