Guest Tom G Posted October 8, 2010 Report Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) After the fairly successful port of Froyo to the Pulse, I've decide to try porting CyanogenMod 6. If this is successful I hope it can one day be included into the official CyanogenMod releases. CM6 is built on Froyo, but adds many extra features. For many of the bugs we are experiencing in Froyo, we have been looking at how they were fixed in CM6. So rather than port the fixes to Froyo, why not port all of CM6 to the Pulse. There are still a lot of issues, so use it at your own risk, and don't complain if a feature you feel is important doesn't work. It is too big to fit on the 1.5 system partition, so you must update to a 2.1 official rom before installing this. Google apps is not included and must be installed seperately. Current rom: beta-0.40 GApps signed zip: gapps-pulse-20101020-signed.zip <-- install from recovery Improved arabic support for browser: arabic-browser-signed.zip The rom is provided as images that must be flashed with fastboot. I tried to build it as an ota update, but its doesn't include the /data partition and there is a file on /data that is required for the first boot. I will try to fix this in a future release. Thanks to Flibblesan for providing hosting. Edited December 3, 2010 by Tom G
Guest Tom G Posted October 8, 2010 Report Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) Known Bugs Wifi MAC is incorrect Camera app fails if you take multiple photos. Other camera apps work. Get something from the market. Manual network selection returns all networks, but should only return those available to the user. Change log 0.40 - 1st December 2010 Link Gallery rotation problem fixed. Updated source. 0.30 - 22nd October 2010 Link Added cpu related settingsq (scaling_governor etc) to init. This will hopefully improve battery life (but I doubt it will do much). Added swap and compcache support. Compcache is used in the rom, but there is no backing swap file. Changed default permissions of netcfg to 6750. This is an ugly fix to the permissions problem, but it works. The build systems otapackage option will now build fully working roms (no more fastboot). Bluetooth fixed. Manual network selection now working (see known bugs). Fixed asec/device-mapper issue. Froyo's builtin apps 2 sd now works. Use CyanogenMod settings to set all apps to run off sd card. 0.20 - 10th October 2010 Link Updated to latest source from git. Now based on Android 2.2.1 (FRG83) GPS problem fixed. WPA driver fix - Signal strength, Link speed & AP MAC. Sensors fixed. Lights fixed. Camera working. 0.10 Link Reboots if GPS is turned off then back on. No bluetooth Wifi MAC is incorrect Wifi returns garbage for signal strength, link speed and AP address. Sensors don't work (so auto-rotation won't work). Camera doesn't work. Manual network selection doesn't work. Edited January 11, 2011 by Tom G
Guest Tom G Posted October 8, 2010 Report Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) Instructions These instruction are only for release 0.3 and later. For earlier releases you must use fastboot. 1. Install Clockwork recovery image if you haven't already. Clockwork (AmonRA's recovery will not work). 2. Download both the rom zip file and the gapps zip file. 3. Copy both zip files to your sd card. This can be done my removing the sd card and putting it into a pc, or mounting it while it is in the phone, or using 'adb push <file> /sdcard/'. 4. Reboot into recovery. 5. Make a nandroid backup so you can revert if necessary. 6. Install first the rom using the install update from sd card option. 8. Next install GApps the same way. 9. If you were not previously using a CyanogenMod rom you MUST wipe /data/. 10. Reboot. Edited October 24, 2010 by Tom G
Guest DanWilson Posted October 8, 2010 Report Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) FIRST! Yipee! (Not much else to say yet...) Edited October 8, 2010 by DanWilson
Guest ogiogi Posted October 8, 2010 Report Posted October 8, 2010 Nice work Tom. Can't wait to try it out :)
Guest DanWilson Posted October 8, 2010 Report Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) Should we tell Cyanogen? Or just leave him? I want to know if we can use Cyanogen mods now. Like the lock screens and CM themes.... :) Does flashing data through fastboot do anything to my apps on the SD card? Edited October 8, 2010 by DanWilson

Guest DanWilson Posted October 8, 2010 Report Posted October 8, 2010 It won't effect SD. I haven't contact Cyanogen yet. I guess I should. Maybe we could get a forum on CyanogenMod just for the Pulse! :)
Guest flip360 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Posted October 8, 2010 I second that, trying this rom now...

Guest thisweb Posted October 8, 2010 Report Posted October 8, 2010 How is this rom better than Flibs 2.2 upload? That had rotation and wifi fix?
Guest Simon O Posted October 8, 2010 Report Posted October 8, 2010 How is this rom better than Flibs 2.2 upload? That had rotation and wifi fix? The Cyanogenmod will end up being better due to the large community behind it. And sadly the WiFi in FLB 2.0 wasn't completely fixed.
Guest Tom G Posted October 8, 2010 Report Posted October 8, 2010 How is this rom better than Flibs 2.2 upload? That had rotation and wifi fix? Video works. CyanogenMod has a lot of customisations. Wifi does work in this its just has a couple of problems. I know how to fix the problems I just haven't yet (and the FLB rom also has the MAC problem). The major things missing from this that are in the FLB rom (and my other froyo roms) are bluetooth and sensors. Hopefully those can be fixed shortly.

If only we could get the camera working then it'd be perfect!! What sort of customisations does cyanogen offer, performance improvements or just cosmetic stuff? Next job would be to get the MIUI into it :) - that looks brilliant! Edited October 8, 2010 by thisweb
Guest DanWilson Posted October 8, 2010 Report Posted October 8, 2010 Ogiogi's Espresso Mod doesn't work. Cause boot loop.
Guest thisweb Posted October 8, 2010 Report Posted October 8, 2010 http://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_vend.../CHANGELOG.mkdn Boy there really has been a lot of work behind the cyanogen mod (v6). Seems there are some performance improvements and optimisations... Looking forward to this.
Guest JimJam707 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Posted October 8, 2010 On Cyanogen Mod there is a built in black/sense-ish theme. Go to Settings - CyanogenMod Settings - User Interface - Tweaks extras - Select a theme And choose STOCK-Black.
Guest DanWilson Posted October 8, 2010 Report Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) No EXT A2SD. Fix please? I can't be bothered reinstalling all my apps again... @Jamie - I was just about to reboot and try that... Two big things happening just now - CM6 for Pulse. Froyo for Streak. Edited October 8, 2010 by DanWilson
Guest flip360 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) Booted fine and fast here, Wifi Works, 2G,3G also, APN recognized, FEELS QUITE FAST :) This ROM is has lot of tweaks added, do i report to cyan with CMStats? ;) YOU ROCK MASTER (TOM G) Edited October 8, 2010 by flip360
Guest DanWilson Posted October 8, 2010 Report Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) Enjoying Cyanogen's modded help widget thing. Not enjoying having no apps. :) 3G / 2G is also not connecting. Edited October 8, 2010 by DanWilson
