Guest jonesmann Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 Hello! Thank you Paul for the new release. Just for clarification, what is the best way to go from alpha5 to alpha6? (without losing all apps and data) 1. Do a Backup in Clockwork Recovery via nandroid. (Just in Case :D) 2. then follow the usual way, in Clockword Recovery "install zip fom sdcard" & "choose zip from sdcard" & "choose the new file". best regards
Guest Lloydy Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 All working fine for me Paul. Will report if I get any non-responsive lock screen problems or disconnecting wi-fi problems.
Guest Paul Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 Hello! Thank you Paul for the new release. Just for clarification, what is the best way to go from alpha5 to alpha6? (without losing all apps and data) 1. Do a Backup in Clockwork Recovery via nandroid. (Just in Case :P) 2. then follow the usual way, in Clockword Recovery "install zip fom sdcard" & "choose zip from sdcard" & "choose the new file". best regards Exactly. :D P
Guest Paul Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 All working fine for me Paul. Will report if I get any non-responsive lock screen problems or disconnecting wi-fi problems. Great. :D P
Guest Paul Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 Get any requests in for r7 now! :D P
Guest punkmilitia Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) Wifi doesn't work with alpha6, it shows "Error" under WLAN. Upgraded without wipe from alpha5. New kernal = good idea to wipe because of the drastic changes, so do a wipe and all should be fine. Edited January 12, 2011 by punkmilitia
Guest samjam Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) cifs.ko did not load, not even by the CifsManager until I used CifsManager settings to load using insmod instead of modprobe. I still can't get cifs mount to work properly though. If I run it from launcher I get ""Application is not installed on your phone" If I run it from the market it works.

Guest JingleManSweep Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 MCR alpha6 has been added to Android Guide: http://www.androidguide.co.uk/release/mcr-...-alpha6-oledtft
Guest PeTiNgA Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) I don't have a set of headphones handy... if someone could confirm the FM radio 1.05 app works OK on this ROM I can add it to the kitchen. P I can confirm that FM radio 1.05 is working with Alpha 6 :D Thanks for the update Paul! EDIT: The only thing that's not working atm is "Display Auto-brigthness", but this already happened when updating to Alpha5 and then after some time it started working again, so it's probably an issue on my end, not the ROM. Edited January 12, 2011 by PeTiNgA
Guest panteraz Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 Thanks a lot for continuing the project for all us who dont want to install the battery drainer rom of Japanese Jelly.. Just installed over alpha4 without wiping anything and worked like charm.
Guest lixcab Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 Get any requests in for r7 now! :D P Pretty quiet for an open invitation. I guess we've reached a monumental stage. (I wonder if that's why we're moving out of Alpha status?) Curious though, is it good to overclock?
Guest ZTE Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 It's probably the stock lockscreen that fixes it as I'm using that in my ROM and giffgaff shows correctly. I'm using Seb's Froyo ROM with the new kernel and the stock lockscreen. Giffgaff comes up as Telefonica O2 UK Ltd. BTW, is it possible to go from Seb's ROM to this one without losing all my settings/apps etc.? Cheers :D
Guest Lostie Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) Hi, Im new to this forum so hi, anyway, with this rom it seems that i need to reboot my phone to get some texts Thankyou Edited January 12, 2011 by Lostie
Guest UbaRolfey Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 Just thought it was worth mentioning that from time to time my phone is rebooting, even without overclocking, now this maybe to do with something I have installed, but I wondered if anyone else was suffering from the same issue? Mike
Guest admanirv Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 Can we overlclock this rom yet? Cheers
Guest mikes77a Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) Bug on R6: -Haptic feedback not work (when I push the button, not vibrate the phone+incoming message not vibrate) -auto blacklight still not work Upgrade to R4, whith no wipe Best regards Paul! sorry my baaaaaaad english Edited January 12, 2011 by mikes77a
Guest dorren Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 Get any requests in for r7 now! :D P gingerbread keyboard and maybe zeam launcher in prebake so i dont need to install the original :P But not sure if that is the way you usually do it... Thanks Erik
Guest Putterill Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 I'd love to see the gingerbread keyboard, circle battery indicator (or any with %), and I believe facebook contacts sync is working on one of the other roms, that would be excellent :D
Guest Thib258 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 what about a Circle battery indicator with the % in? my two cent! Thib
Guest Donkey Oaty Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) I've upgraded from R5 to R6 without a wipe no problems. Back light in the buttons now work but wifi is still dripping out and not reconnecting after sleep. Well it appears it does reconnect after sleep but not always. Edited January 12, 2011 by Donkey Oaty
Guest ololizoz Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 The prebaked alpha5 link is broken :D
Guest asim18 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) Excellent stuff Paul! I've been using your ROMs exclusively since day 1 and I'm very grateful for all your hard work. Get any requests in for r7 now! :D P Gingerbread Keyboard would be a good option to have in the kitchen, next to the HTC IME option perhaps? Edited January 12, 2011 by asim18
Guest exec Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 The prebaked alpha5 link is broken :D This. :P
Guest SebMK Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 I'd been waiting for this new kernel release for a few days now since the kernel source was made available by ZTE and as I did not see any sign of Paul working on an alpha6 release I installed flibblesan's ROM last night. The FLB Froyo 6 ROM has been great so far and I haven't had a touch screen freeze yet (but only one day in) but I would have waited for Paul's update as I've been so impressed with his work so far. Is there somewhere I could have looked to find out Paul was working on this? Sorry if I've not used the search facility properly as people love to point out on this site!
