Android 2.2 Development

[Guest DanWilson]

Thanks. I think most my problems stem from 64bit win 7 so gonna move to 32 bit later today. I did run what you said but get told its a read only file.

Is it saying read only when trying to chmod? Or when you are running adb?

You are using 0.50? With root? Try typing "su" before the last command ("chmod <blah blah>).

And 64 bit won't help...

Thanks got it sorted now and 3g is working after a re boot. Just need to sort market out now, its working but some apps are not there, advanced app killer for instance. Need to find where settings are for changing amount of home screens too lol.

Great work in such a short time, amazing. I know its very beta but I am willing to test and not complain about bugs so keep up th good work!

I've added panic's awext driver from http://blog.linuxconsulting.ro/2010/04/por...to-android.html to git. It fixes the wifi link speed and signal strength bugs (probably MAC address as well, but I can't figure out how to display it). I was a bit surprised that it worked with no modification (other than manually patching one file and modifying init.rc).

Can this be added into the ROM easily or do we have to compile it?

I've added panic's awext driver

as in, it's added to the Froyo rom :P

Ok. It said it was added to git so it sounded like it had been put there so it would be there when its next compiled.

Ah wait no, I misunderstood you. Froyo just needs to be built to the latest version to have this fix. The fix itself has already been compiled in to the git code.

New is rom up. Froyo-Pulse-0.51

I built this myself as a userdebug. The system is rooted. Consider this alpha and unofficial.

Awesome. Could we look at getting the other fixes (as mentioned in the other 2.2 thread) added to the git for the next ROM?

Going to be difficult as I don't have write access on the git. The rotation fix is no longer needed, btw.

If we only install the system.img, do we keep our settings? I can't be bothered doing everything again. And I take it no A2SD?

You need to flash boot.img also. You will keep your settings on data.

I don't know what's being done about the Froyo A2SD but I have Darktremor A2SD running on my phone.

MAC address works fine. It displayed in Settings > About Phone > Status

How do you get the A2SD working? Can it be added to the next release?

Also, was the SD card problem (the reading the wrong partition if you had a2SD on 2.1) every fixed? If so, is it something in the ROM or do I have to do it manually?

[Guest flip360]

when using 0.5 version of froyo the GPS gave me two reboots

A2SD will be added once work has progressed enough for me to start producing zip updates. The partition mounting issue is fixed.

[Guest Simon O]

Ok ok. But I can't promise it'll work for future releases.

Download and flash the new boot image using fastboot: a2sd_boot.zip

Boot into recovery and flash Darktremor A2SD: dtapps2sd-2.7.5-rc3c-signed.zip

[Guest Epic-Emodude]

So I can run A2SD on flb mod then go to froyo and have no SD problems, then come back and have a2sd still?

Is a2sd not something that can be added in the git?

Lol. You give it out once I ask but not Emodude, I lurve being me!

[Guest Epic-Emodude]

Im just being over cautious and making sure I know exactly what will work and what wont, and what I can fix :P

The way git works, if you're pulling Tom G's git history down using git, and then pushing it up to your own github account, it can tell who has forked who and what the changes are. Your modifications would appear on Tom G's github network graph, and anyone could download them and patch them in.

[Guest Simon O]

Well he did ask about adding it to the rom, which I can't do. When the Froyo A2SD is fixed it could cause problems with the current implementation of Darktremor.

Yeah I know but github just refuses me upload to even my own account and I'm doing exactly what the guides are telling me to do.

Edit: Ubuntu bug.. had to reboot for the ssh keys to work.

Just to check...

If I install A2SD on FLBmod, and install all my apps, can I then install 2.2 and A2SD and keep the apps, or will I have to reinstall them?

If I cant keep them will the be backed up in a nandroid backup?

It may work if you don't format the /data partition, but I cannot guarantee this. It will only be backed up if you make the nandroid backup yourself in recovery.
