I'm trying to install Beta 5.1 and am getting the following error when flashing:

E:Can't chown/mod /system/bin/fixa2sd

(no such file or directory)

E:Failure at line 5:

set_perm 0 0 0777 SYSTEM:bin/fixa2sd

Installation aborted.

Any one help?

Steps under taken

Installed Hungarian 2.1 update

Installed Recovery Image

Wiped Data/Factory Reset

Partitioned SD Card

[Guest Ellia]

Is the SMS receiving bug fixed in this ROM or is that a android 2.1 HU ROM problem that couldn't be fixed by you?

[Guest biron_w]

Bad. That breaks A2SD on my ROM due to the new version being used.

You can just use the A2SD in my rom and move dalvik to SD from a terminal or adb shell.

How would I do it from a terminal? I can't get ADB working on my pc.

Install Terminal Emulator from the market

Type "su"

Allow root access

Type "a2sd cache"

Reboot

Done

Appears that the rom wasn't extracted properly. Wipe the device again, reboot back into recovery and flash the update again. Try downloading again if it still fails.

Thanks flibblesan. Embarrasing but I downloaded the wrong file :lol:

OK, downloading the correct one now. Will let you know how I get on ...

Ciao Fibblesan,

only few informations:

1) I'm italian and I have an italian sim into the pulse: after wiping, the first reboot it asked for changing language but I didn't change and automatically it started with italian language. So, the italian is supported by your rom but you should not change it otherwise it will not possibile to set it back to italian through GUI, I think.

2) Today I applied the update but I had a lot of freeze in black screen. I don't know if it happened when I was in black screen or the black screen appeared after the freeze. I did wipe and now it seems stable.

Thank you for your hard work!

I would suggest, that if you ever consider a new boot logo, then maybe having a constant Android logo on the black screen would (while the pulse text is flashing) be a good idea.

I mean if I am waiting for my booting device, and I don't watch it for seconds (between the flashes), I could think, that it's turned off.

(My English is quite limited to explain this better, but hopefully you get it).

[Guest JohnPorter]

Now installed and looks very impressive. NOw just need to be brave to see if I can check to see if A2SD is working or not.

Excellent work flibblesan, looking forward to the final release.

IGNORE THIS - new ADW Launcher settings fixed issue.

Moved from 0.4 which I found great - didn't have time to upgrade to 0.5 - but now I do. I upgraded to 0.51 and also applied the patch at the same time (one after another).

Did a wipe and a dalvik wipe as well. However - my red and green phone icons (from the screenshot) shows LAB and RAB instead. Is this what it should be? Or have I upgraded incorrectly?

Those are customisable buttons. Drag what you want them to do (messaging or browser maybe) onto them, and that's what they do. You can disable the screen dots if you like, and have 5 buttons instead.

Choose carefully though. I haven't found a way to change your customisation choices. But that's probably because I'm old and a bit thick. :lol:

Cheers - just found out and editted my silly question out as I realised it was a new configurable launcher!

I did that. Phone memory is still going down :lol:

[Guest Mike Mc]

How do you install the "small update" ?

[Guest Sl4yer]

How do you install the "small update" ?

Download and copy it to your SD card.

Boot to Recovery (which you've already installed)

Nandroid backup (if you prefer, and why not?)

Flash the update

Reboot

I'd reboot after the first boot just to be sure too.

They come like that by default with AWD. I'll compile my old version of the launcher soon that will have these shortcuts set up already (but still customizable).

[Guest RH13]

Apart from the official T-Mobile update, was too afraid to flash my Pulse.

I saw the Hungarian update and flashed it. I thought it was a pretty buggy.

I then decided to try an unofficial ROM and chose this one, (5.1).

Compared to what I've used before - very very good.

I too did not get the LAB RAB thing until I accidentally stuck something to the "buttons"

I seem to have downloaded loads of apps. (The Hungarian ROM really left little space). I bought a class 6 SD and I guess I'm storing the apps on there.

Cache or no cache on SD, how would I tell?

To anyone using an official ROM, "You don't know what you're missing!"

Thanks to all those clever people who make this possible.

You will be storing apps on there. :lol:

Install and run Terminal Emulator, then type:

su

[Allow superuser permissions if it asks]

a2sd check

See what the report says.

[Guest Simon O]

Thanks for the support guys.

The next update will be a non-beta version of the ROM and will take a little longer to be ready. If any major bugs crop up with 5.1 then I'll release another hotfix.

I'm no longer working alone on this ROM. I've recruited somebody you all know (and love*) and he is a well known and respected member of our little Pulse community at MoDaCo. I won't mention his name but if he comes along then he'll say hello.

Some very exciting things are planned for this ROM. I cannot say anything specific now but myself and my assistant are currently testing some new features which may or may not make it into the ROM. I'm not accepting any more testers, sorry.

* in a non homo-erotic way. Sorry, love-party Dan :lol:

It's something to do with the different frequencies in some countries. We'll work on this and try and produce a fix :D
