Guest ve100 Posted January 16, 2011 Report Posted January 16, 2011 Hi guys I think ive figured out how to fix the wifi reconnect issue, im going to put in the fix and try it out, ill report back on whether it works or not EDIT: I think it is an issue in the wpa_supplicant file in system/bin, if we replace it with another one then it should work, I tried the zte blades one and now it wont let me scan so next ill try one from the cm6.1 final and then from a 2.1 rom this reminds me. i've been meaning to mention this, but wanted to try out the latest cm again, before coming back. it works. richard, i used the latest cm6.1.2 rom of commtiva z71 (which is mdpi like our pulse) from here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?titl...on#Commtiva_Z71 DO NOT flash on pulse. But, we can update most of the apks and bins from another/newer cm rom to the pulse. I also notice that they are all newer and much smaller than our aio version apk and bin files. I have done so, and this makes me wonder. If our rom is cyanogen based, then we should be able to just copy most files from latest cm rom. But, we can't flash another rom, as it will also flash kernel, boot, etc. Our kernel is pulse specific. i always remove spurious apps from system. first things to go are the wallpapers. I need to cut down on my /system/app/, to make enough space to put my CoPilot, DocsToGo, and few other apks into /system/app. I don't want those apps to update from market! If only there was a way to stop/block market updates for some apps?
Guest darkdevil1 Posted January 16, 2011 Report Posted January 16, 2011 Just wanted to say thanks for this great mod and thanks for the Zeam and Gapps update ;) Quick question: has anyone else had trouble watching certain Youtube videos in HQ? I can hear the sound but the screen stays black. When I switch to LQ it plays just fine. Doesn't seem to happen on all videos though (I had this before the GAPPS update as well)
Guest Richard_Arkless Posted January 16, 2011 Report Posted January 16, 2011 (edited) Why does this rom have a jit folder in the /data partition? CM6 didn't have this, is it an optimized dalvikvm? And another question has anyone got the microbes livewallpaper from nexus s running? It forcecloses for me always. Its because dtapp2sd had a jit folder in data so I did the same, there is no point really in removing it as its not using any space because nothing is inside it If you just installed the apk then it wont work, you need to flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876546 this reminds me. i've been meaning to mention this, but wanted to try out the latest cm again, before coming back. it works. richard, i used the latest cm6.1.2 rom of commtiva z71 (which is mdpi like our pulse) from here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?titl...on#Commtiva_Z71 DO NOT flash on pulse.

If only there was a way to stop/block market updates for some apps? I did copy over all the updated apks from the cm nightly of hero so its the latest stuff, I didnt bother with /system/bin so are you saying that you have done what I have said to replace the wpa_supplicant with another or are you just giving advice on how to make it smaller Our version of cm and theirs isnt 100% the same, some things had to be modified by tom to make it work with our hardware but I would say the key things you can safely replace is app, bin, fonts, media and xbin Edited January 16, 2011 by Richard_Arkless
Guest Sonnengel Posted January 16, 2011 Report Posted January 16, 2011 Since I am curious, if you want to experiment further, and you haven't tried it yet, you can do this: Boot into CW Recovery and do a format of /system (in the partitions menu). Then reinstall this rom and then your desired Gapps and tell us what happens. (Remember to always do a nandroid backup first!) Yes... I tried that... Now i'm with the FLB 1.5 for a few days :S
Guest rulerofkaos Posted January 16, 2011 Report Posted January 16, 2011 If you just installed the apk then it wont work, you need to flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876546 This is not working, either. When I try to pick the wallpaper it crashes.
Guest darkdevil1 Posted January 16, 2011 Report Posted January 16, 2011 (edited) I`ve being trying to find in all the posts what`s "set lcd dencity to 160.zip" for, but couldn`t, can anyone tell ma what`s that for? thanks. To put it simply, it makes everything on your screen ''bigger''. Make a nandroid backup and try it out if you want. Also: does anyone else still have trouble with the camera FCing (and refusing to start again) after taking one picture? Edited January 16, 2011 by darkdevil1
Guest Richard_Arkless Posted January 16, 2011 Report Posted January 16, 2011 This is not working, either. When I try to pick the wallpaper it crashes. Maybe its not made for our phones, I would wait for someone to release it or an alternative in the market does anyone else still have trouble with the camera FCing (and refusing to start again) after taking one picture? Yes that is still an issue, I messaged tom g a couple of weeks ago about some other matter and he mentioned in his reply that he is planning on releasing a final of cm6 which fixes some last minute things but I dunno what it will fix, if it will fix this or when it is released for that matter
Guest AntonioPT Posted January 16, 2011 Report Posted January 16, 2011 Its because dtapp2sd had a jit folder in data so I did the same, there is no point really in removing it as its not using any space because nothing is inside it If you just installed the apk then it wont work, you need to flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876546 I did copy over all the updated apks from the cm nightly of hero so its the latest stuff, I didnt bother with /system/bin so are you saying that you have done what I have said to replace the wpa_supplicant with another or are you just giving advice on how to make it smaller Our version of cm and theirs isnt 100% the same, some things had to be modified by tom to make it work with our hardware but I would say the key things you can safely replace is app, bin, fonts, media and xbin I tried replacing all the apks in /system/app with the ones in hero's nightly build and it has some problems: the gallery doesn't play videos, the calendar storage fc's everytime I try to open the calendar or even sync it...
Guest twrock Posted January 17, 2011 Report Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) Yes... I tried that... Now i'm with the FLB 1.5 for a few days :S I assume you have a basic Pulse, not one of the variants. Is that right? One final "last ditch" effort is to reflash the UK 2.1 official update and then reinstall this rom. When something works for the vast majority of people, it's hard to explain why it won't work for the few others who apparently have the same hardware. It doesn't make a lot of sense, but who knows? Maybe it's worth a try anyway. Ah, I notice you have the 8220-6. Maybe that means my advice won't help you. I don't know the issues specific to that device. Maybe someone who does can offer help.

Maybe someone who does can offer help. Mmmmm... Maybe, Don't matter, i fix it... Flash again the UK 2.1 ROM, after that the AmonRa, The FLB 1.5, download the Clockwork, flash the CM6, the AIO v5, the Gapps.... And i got Market and Gmail now!!! But compared to the previous time i used the AIO, is too slow now... Richard, Can you post the AIO v4?? that ran so much faster for me... (Sorry for my english, I'm from Uruguay)

(Sorry for my english, I'm from Uruguay) its probably slower because cache has been wiped meaning it will probably be faster after a day or so of use
Guest ve100 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) richard, the strange thing is i have never ever had a wifi problem, like you guys are having. also my camera takes three pics and then crashes, rather after one click. yes, it doesn't work after that. twrock, i have replace most of app, bin and xbin with the cm6.2 version i mentioned above. i have only replaced the ones with smaller file sizes. i find that i have reclaimed much space, and it seems my phone is faster too. i don't know if it is because apps are newer versions or smaller and more efficient, or i just feel so. but, i only use the smaller files if i have a choice. i haven't yet had any problems. richard, as i understand, the layers are hardware -> kernel -> cm -> cfg -> bin -> apk -> data, in order. hardware will always be different, so kernel is specific to hardware. cfg are specific to hardware drivers. rest all are on top and operate transparently of the lower layers. so long as we are on the same cm (relates to android) version, we should be able to interchange any of the bins or apks. richard, gapps from cm (the mdpi one) has many apks much smaller than your version. they work fine for me. it also has the quickoffice for whoever was asking for it. i wasn't able to use your version. where did you get yours from? do you know why we need those HTC Settings, Copyright and Policy apks. i think those are for HTC phones, and removed them from mine. i couldn't use those anyway, and i don't see any negative effects after removing them. does anyone know what those soundback, talkback, kickback apks are for? i don't see any icons for either. why am i not able to use the cp governor/freq controller i referred to in a previous post. it seems all the other cm folks are able to use it. very small and doesn't run as service draining battery. fc every time for me.

The camera issue varies but I have the same outcome as you where I can only take 3 max, As for the wifi problem, im not familiar with the issue but the first time I installed cm I had to set a static ip address because it couldnt get a dynamic one, however after a reboot I unticked the static ip option and it was able to get a dyamic one Just an update, I had 3 assignments that were the highest priority (computer systems, website design and programming), I have done computer systems and website design and have almost finished programming so I can dedicate more time to this rom and I plan to stay around for a while to help the pulse community in anyway possibe, even though I bought a zte blade on thursday, I feel the pulse needs more help than blade does because we havent got as many roms or developers for that matter That said it is important to get as many people to help with either this rom or create their own rom so could people please pass on the message that I am inviting people to contribute to this rom, after all more minds is better than just 1 The least we need to fix is this camera issue, to solve this I suspect someone will need to look at a logcat and be able to understand what it all means Edited January 18, 2011 by Richard_Arkless

Guest ve100 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) richard you have done a great job with getting everyone involved. sorry, my intention was not to chase you for anything. of course your college and studies have much greater priority than anything going on here. i did think about the zte blade when it came out, and was sorely tempted. then i looked at what i already had, and decided that i didn't need anything more than pulse right now. if i kept buying something better, i would forever keep doing that every few months. i think in about 6mths plus, we are going to see extreme changes in the market and radical overhaul in the designs of the current phones. android would have moved on a couple more versions too. once the market stabilises, that would be the time to go for a newish model. till then, pulse with cm is great! all we need is to get this on supported list by cyanogen. i'm more than happy to help. pls let me know how i can help.

Its no problem I like doing this, as long as I get to finish my assignments on time then im happy to help, if I didnt have this to do in my spare time then I would be incredibly bored ;) At first I wasnt going to get it but I had to make a decision either get a dual core phone now and end up spending £400 or get a budget phone now and wait in a year or so time for dual core to reduce in price, the blade is nice and fast but its not as enjoyable as the pulse, most of it is because I am a geek and I find it entertaining to get the most of performance out of a old piece of tech while with the blade there isnt a need because its fine todays standards, really all it needs is an overclocked kernel which isnt a high priority just something nice to add to it If you want to help then consider joining the team, all you need to do is send me your email address that you use with dropbox and ill invite you to make changes, from there its upto you on what needs improving, adding, deleting, replacing, etc, I only have one request that if you make any changes then please document it or else I wont be sure on what changes you have made Edited January 18, 2011 by Richard_Arkless
Guest ve100 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 if there are many people making changes, how do we ensure that all these changes are coordinated and reconciled? i think we need one person to coordinate and act as change manager, and rest to raise the changes reqd. you know, i make some changes, and then somebody else makes some changes, and then somebody else makes some changes, and then nobody knows where we are currently, unless every single change was recorded somewhere on a changelog. my issue is that i don't have a development pc at the moment. my work laptop is severly restricted, and i don't know what i can do on it, apart from the adb+fastboot that i currently have. having access to your dropbox is good, but i wonder how i might be able to push any changes into it from my work laptop, and i am working away from home most days. also, sorry i updated my previous post above with gapps, without realising that you had seen and replied to me. perhaps you can have another quick look.

I agree most of this is still being thought up, but as there is only me, you and antonioPT, this isnt a huge issue, of course as more and more people join I will have to think up a strategy, atm we document what tasks we are going to do under the tasks.txt found in WIP folder How you make changes to the rom is relatively simple, just open up the zip either with winzip, windows explorer or 7zip and you drag the changes into where they need to be, as for how it syncs it you will need to install dropbox, if I remember correctly you dont need administrative permissions to install it so if its not your laptop you dont need to worry about not having an admin account Also I uploaded v6b3, all that has changed is that I think I managed to get the custom emoticons working and have updated the original gapps where all market specific gapps are in data instead of system, I havent tested these changes out as like I said in the changelog I gave the pulse to my mum so its really her phone and I need to test it when she isnt using it Where I got gapps from is I downloaded the original mdpi (not the tiny one) and edited it to meet our needs so I removed things like twitter, facebook, etc and moved maps (and now gmail, google search, streetview, voice search and youtube) to data I dunno what all these htc apps do in gapps, ill research it to see Edited January 18, 2011 by Richard_Arkless

I didn´t test it until now, but from what i understand and read at XDA, this is a really nice improvement! Going to test it later at home. Btw, why isn´t Toti a member of your team!? ;) To me he seems to understand the basis of android/linux.. Thanks Richard for staying here a little longer!

Yea I had a look at the opengl file that toti posted and its exactly the same size as the one included in the rom so I think its the same file but for some reason the value in build.prop was set to render in 1.0 instead of 1.1 so maybe it was set to 1.0 by default for compatibility reasons Yea ive emailed toti so waiting for his reply ve100 so are you going to join the team, if so message me your email address and ill add you to the list Edited January 18, 2011 by Richard_Arkless

Guest ve100 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 I never flashed them and I haven't got any problems. are you working without gapps? could you perhaps elaborate, what your alternate style of working is - without gapps? gapps in the market are total bloatware, and i never update from market. i think i don't need most of the gapps. i only need my phone contacts synced, and perhaps calendar. and not sync automatically all the time whenever google wants, but rather manual sync, when i think i need to! all the other google goodies work better in the mobile browser. They are for vibration, sound and text to speach of your menu items. ah right, in settings/accessibility. thanks! richard, i'll pm you my email. but, i second antonio on his git recommendation. if it works like a version control, that would be far preferable than manual updates. three is v.manageable, more people and we'll have serious problems with multiple simultaneous edits. i haven't used the online gits. perhaps antonio could enlighten us. i remember in a previous post him volunteering to teach us all about git? :-)

Have you been able to steal the pulse and test it? ;) I compared it myself and it is exactly the same (byte for byte), as for whether it improved things, I think not, I done a few quadrant and neocore tests and in all they have got lower benchmarks over when I set it to use 1.0 in build.prop
