There is nothing mounted at /mnt/secure/asec/, so it will fail trying to write to the read-only rootfs. I think either the tmpfs at /mnt/asec should be at /mnt/secure/asec or /mnt/secure/asec should be a symlink to /mnt/asec. I will try adding a symlink later.


Thanks. Out of interest what did you use to do the trace?

strace. It is included in android (i think only in eng builds normally) but doesn't work properly. The android one seems to usually work for already running processes (so would have worked in this case) but doesn't work for starting a process. I have a version I built from source that works properly.

For this example I used

strace -f -ff -s400 -p <pid of vold>

Tom, I've been reading about this issue and I read that if the SD is unmounted the apps will install. I've just tested this and I managed to install the app fine, so the issue seems to be related to the SD. I tested this with "Paul's App of the Day" as that also tries to install to the secure container like Angry Birds does. The logs show me installing "Angry Birds" fine:

The logs don't appear to be very useful but I'll post them anyway.

From what I saw in the vold source the other day it seems like asec is a staging area used for installing to sd. I think it installs to asec, does some checks, then installs to sd. If no sd card is mounted it would make sense that asec is no longer needed.

[Guest Simon O]

The android one seems to usually work for already running processes (so would have worked in this case) but doesn't work for starting a process.

Wow, that's pretty useful.

+1 lol. I thought I was bad!!! Been following this thread avidly for weeks now, great work to all you guys but when do you sleep or get away from your PCs? LOL.

Really looking forward to the first Beta release of 2.2..................

BUG: Clicked Snooze on alarm, checked emails, locked phone, phone crashed never played snooze ¬_¬

[Guest MuhaJR]

BUG: Clicked Snooze on alarm, checked emails, locked phone, phone crashed never played snooze ¬_¬

Damn, I would like to report bugs also, but my Pulse is still on repairing (some HW failure)...

As far as I could read, this 0.40 ROM with few corrections is usable (ok, few problems remain, but, hey, it's a long way to create build 1.0).

Can someone (who knows how - I don't, that's why I'm asking) make images or flashable zip of this build? I would, but I don't know how... And I'm not having my Pulse yet...

All developers involved in this project - you guys (and girls if any) are totally awesome! I wish that I know this stuff so much...

[Guest gusthy]

another issue: I added sensor fix, it worked for a day, then it stopped working. I do not know if there is a causality, but it died when I started an app using sensors (gmail) during a phone call, it stayed on landscape mode.

[Guest Ellia]

Really impressive speed which have the Froyo development.

This project gained a lot of speed while the last week. Was there any key-event which enables the Froyo development for the Pulse so fast?

rotation is lost here also? compass works btw...

yes, it is the rotation which doesnt work. I didnt try compass.

[Guest reech]

Gentlemen; Do my eyes deceive me or does the U8220 run froyo?:

<edit> They do - it's not a Pulse :[ </edit>

Nope it doesn't :P It's the new phone from Huaweit, the IDEOS, I think it' u8150 but not really sure. The Pulse will run Froyo very soon apparently, thanks to the guys on this forum :) Cheers!

[Guest totiadrenalin]

Ignore most of those permissions. We found that they break wifi :P They should be:

I only added these as a fix due to the permissions totiadrenalin posted didnt work.

Interestingly CyanogenMod 6 has netcfg set to 2750

I apologize about the wrong permissions I gave yesterday, but messing up with the permissions somehow I get the correct network, and the tethering app working, and without the NAT transaction fault. Now when i did the nandroid restore of the system the tethering app doesn't work again.

I apologize once again, but I really get stuff working yesterday.

Hi, this is looking great, I'm looking forward to trying it out when it's ready.

Since there are now nearly 1100 posts in this thread, would it be possible for someone in the know (maybe Tom G?) to start a new thread with the current state of progress, known bugs and any available download links listed in the first few posts (and kept up-to-date on those posts, like the FLB mod thread)

Obviously keep this thread for discussing fixes and development etc, but it's kind of hard to find the current state of play in this thread, find downloads, and see if they are potentially usable.

Just a thought

thanks

Can you confirm which Kernel you are using at the moment?

Is it from 1.5, 2.1 (HU or UK?) or your own compiled version?

Thanks

[Guest Josh04]

It's 2.1 HU.

BUG: Clicked Snooze on alarm, checked emails, locked phone, phone crashed never played snooze ¬_¬

Ok I'm testing this now. Waiting for 14:52 when snooze ends

Update: That worked fine. Try replacing the DeskClock.app with this one: DeskClock.zip

Unzip it and push to the phone /system/app/

I did replace a lot of the system apps with FRF91 apps from Cyanogen as they were a bit smaller. Had absolutely no issues with any of them.

When mounting adb in rw it sais remount completen, but when i try to push it sais it is in RO mode. Tried reboot and reconnect but doesn't fix anything. What might I be doing wrong?

adb remount rw

adb push C:\android\DeskClock.apk system\app\

Edit: Thnx flib, it's fixed
