Guest Hectic Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 One question... (yes.. i'm a lil stumped now.. eheheh)... will this work on the TMN A1? Also.. what languages does this have? (i don't know if language packs are flashed by this or not) i do not recommend it. The updater freezes at mine device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Simon O Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Instead you could repackage it up as an update.zip ROM, like Paul does. But you need to take care to preserve the file userIDs and groupIDs so it's best to unyaffs it as superuser. And you also need to delete all of the symbolic links and recreate them in the update-script. There is a tool in the Android AOSP called make-update-script which can help with that to some extent. Edit: However, there is a small problem: the partition layout is different for Android 2.1. Currently we have a system partition of 80MB. If you were to install this updata.app it would resize that system partition to be something like 125MB. But we can't make that modification in an update.zip ROM. So our update.zip ROM would have to squeeze everything within 80MB (although we could use symbolic links to move some stuff to the data partition, like the Paul/Bobo Android 2.1 ROM). That's what I did. I'm on a train now I'll look into fixing WiFi later tonight. Unless the official update is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gsk Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 That's what I did. I'm on a train now I'll look into fixing WiFi later tonight. Unless the official update is out. How do you do this? Fastboot won't accept the system.img due to the size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tom G Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Bizarre. I wonder if those modules in the data_test folder are required too. So it wasn't the missing iso stopping it booting, the iso was just filling dmesg with message below. [4, events/0] [ 21.050589] lxy: store_file_again_func, number=19 [4, events/0] [ 21.050626] lxy: store_file, buf=/data/cdrom/autorun.iso, count=23 [4, events/0] [ 21.050699] lun0: unable to open backing file: /data/cdrom/autorun.iso [4, events/0] [ 21.050724] lxy: store_file_again_func (fail), ret_val=-2, retry later. I don't think it actually does anything with the iso, so an empty file would probably fix the message. The loop stopping it booting is mediaserver dying, so it looks like the boot image from this new UPDATA will not work with the system image from the leaked rom without some modification. I'll play with customising the system image and see how I go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tom G Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 So i've got it booted on my Pulse :( The screen works fine, but space is a problem... /dev: 53808K total, 12K used, 53796K available (block size 4096) /sqlite_stmt_journals: 4096K total, 0K used, 4096K available (block size 4096) /system: 87040K total, 82704K used, 4336K available (block size 4096) /data: 107776K total, 97184K used, 10592K available (block size 4096) /cache: 20480K total, 1164K used, 19316K available (block size 4096) /sdcard: 1479512K total, 1378508K used, 101004K available (block size 4096) and I already removed apps to make it fit. I will do a bit of testing and upload a rooted rom, but it might not be until tomorrow (its just past midnight here). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tom G Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 All good so far. It does get one error when it boots about keyboard, but that should be fixable. There are a few more apps that could be removed to free up space but I still don't think it will be enough long term. Maybe we can move dalvik-cache to sdcard. The only thing I have found so far that doesn't work is vibrate (I haven't done the fix that was identified for the leaked rom). I will start uploading my rom in minute, but the link won't be up until I wake up tomorrow (it is now past 1AM here). Its rooted and includes busybox plus a few other things, but no a2sd yet.
