Hiho

Is there a way renaming the Flashlight/Torch.apk for de-DE from "Blitzlicht" (which means a kind of flash for making photos) to "Taschenlampe"?

Hmm... Slightly OT but Paul has build in a change for en-XY areas into kitchen.

Loozaa

Yeah, i'll tweak that for you if you like...

[Guest TamirDa]

Paul can you add to the kitchen the Batter circle?

and did you fix all problem?

thx

[Guest vfrvulcan]

Apols if slightly OT, but anyone know where i can get the latest Foursquare .apk file from, so I cna bake it in...?

In fact there are a few apk files i'd like to bake in. Is there any way to 'pull' them from my phone...?

Astro file manager

On The Fly Backup

Titanium Backup

All have the ability to backup to a folder on the SD. You can then copy the .apks on the PC and make your own zip, or as Noonski pointed out to me a few days ago... bake, extract the zip, add your bits in data/app and re-zip and flash with ClockworkMod/UnrEVOked with signature checking disabled :)

Wiped? Which locate are you set to? It should show as Flashlight for en-US, Torch for anything else en-*.

No wipe. Installed on top of latest r7.

I assumed (wrongly it seems) my locale was already set to UK. The language was certainly English but US (no obvious UK option in the Language & Keyboard settings). I've installed More Locale 2 from Market and it's now sorted.

[Guest Akarim47]

installed r7 and it was a bit slow scrolling menus and friend stream, now wipe and installed r8 and it's working flawlessly, I installed the latest arabization libs from Ayman Alsanad and now it's perfect for me, hope it will be included in the kitchen http://www.ardoid.com/?p=41

great work Paul, appreciate it.

For those of you who want the stock bootanimation I think you just need to remove the bootanimation.zip file. I think it is just an 'override' and the stock one is built in.

Someone else may be able to confirm this.

There is no bootanimation.zip present at all in baked Rom.

I posted before that adding your own to data\local or system\customize/resource don't work.

And there is an android_audio.mp3 but it doesn't get played.

[Guest EddyOS]

Strangely, although I didn't want it, I've both contact apps in the ROM so I had to chose which to use...is this normal or do I have to rebake a ROM?

Don't know why it doesn't work for you... Adding /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip worked for me.

[Guest s3lentium]

I have problem with R8, 2 min 1% of Battery and USB. When I connect phone via USB to PC, mobile phone is always hard mode. Please help. Thank you very much

[Guest gneville]

Hi Paul, Great work on r8 WIP.

I am however having a strange problem with my contacts (the people app). I have fully wiped and flashed twice but the problem is still there. I can see all my contact entries when I go into the people app however underneath their names it shows "My contact card", when I press their names it displays my contact card information. Any ideas? I am using just the standard contacts from HTC, haven't added the Android version..

Also is there a reason for not including Rom manager in the releases?

Thanks

[Guest vvaleta28]

coming from r7 to r8 without wipe, com.niloc.calibrationsettings FC any idea?

[Guest Noonski]

Don't know why it doesn't work for you... Adding /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip worked for me.

I'll tried again, but no go.

I'll rebake to a newer refresh.

Found it (new bake), it's now in customize?!

Well rebaking the later release and sticking it over the top of the original R8 worked a treat - GMail Unread Count back to normal and working perfectly.

And there's still the stock Android boot animation - heaven!

Great work Paul!

[Guest shadamehr]

'adb shell ls /data/app' will show you the APK files, the 'adb pull' the filename.

Never used Linux in my life (I'm trying to seem educated, guessing that's what that all means).

Not even really played with a Mac much.

So I' reckon i can't do it, without having Linux then...?

*lol*

ADB is a tool that comes with the Android SDK, you'll actually find all three ADB tools in the r6 root package (one for Windows, Linux and Mac).

So you can use ADB in Windows, just use it with command prompt that you open in Admin mode.

So those commands can be used on Windows, as long as you use the ADB-Windows.exe (as it is renamed in the r6 root files).

Paul, fantastic ROM !!! Thank you...

Maybe you or somebody can help me with OpenVPN:

I´m trying to use the OPENVPN with a tun adapter, but I always get the error: cannot allocate tun/tap device dynamically.

It looks like that the tun.ko driver isn´t avaiable, I´m correct or do I miss something?

[Guest Paul]

Double check the tun.ko file is in system/lib/modules.

[Guest Paul]

Superuser app updated to 2.3.

Did you find the TUN.KO?

[Guest vvaleta28]

still FC -.- any ideas to fix it? deleting data does not help :s

[Guest western]

Thank You Paul!

Just updated from R7 to R8 without wipe, all is working fine so long.

The ROM is very fast (Quadrant=1344) and the feeling is smooth.

The "Disable Perflock" option is working too, testing battery now :)

[Guest doubled]

Did you find the TUN.KO?

Yes, it´s there... i will try to use the full path to tun.ko now!

EDIT: does not work at all.... any hints?

EDIT2: okay.. insmod tun.ko with adb shell worked, now I have some hopefully minor error: ifconfig could not execute external program.

EDIT3:

the tail of the OpenVPN Output:

Wed Aug 11 00:20:12 2010 TUN/TAP device tun0 opened

Wed Aug 11 00:20:12 2010 TUN/TAP TX queue length set to 100

Wed Aug 11 00:20:12 2010 /system/xbin/bb/ifconfig tun0 192.168.22.110 netmask 255.255.255.0 mtu 1500 broadcast 192.168.22.255

Wed Aug 11 00:20:12 2010 Linux ifconfig failed: could not execute external program

Wed Aug 11 00:20:12 2010 Exiting

the problem is /system/xbin/bb/ifconfig ...

there is no bb directory it should be /system/xbin/ifconfig, or?

how can I fix this?

[Guest woti17]

Double check the tun.ko file is in system/lib/modules.

P

it is in /system/lib/modules

lsmod doesn't show

modprobe as su in terminal gives

modprobe: chdir(2.6.32-15-gf9c0527): No such file or directory

while:

cd /system/lib/modules

insmod ./tun.ko

now lsmod shows all 3 modules (bcm, perflock, tun)

hope this helps
