Guest Ellia Posted January 9, 2011 Report Posted January 9, 2011 (edited) T-Mobile DE released Android 2.1 for the Pulse. http://www.t-mobile.de/fremdcontent/1,2790,137859,00.html Maybe they fixed something but I don't think so. But if anybody want to compare it with the UK upgrade, feel free. Maybe the SMS bug is fixed, but I don't believe it. Anyway they offer Android 1.6 on the page, but I think it's the old 1.5.

Guest rikkiej Posted January 9, 2011 Report Posted January 9, 2011 let's hope so!!! Anyone able to compare?

Guest jhnns Posted January 9, 2011 Report Posted January 9, 2011 pulse_androide_21_sw.zip maybe the sw stands for swap ?
Guest mapero Posted January 9, 2011 Report Posted January 9, 2011 pulse_androide_21_sw.zip maybe the sw stands for swap ? I think sw=Software

Guest Richard_Arkless Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 any news is this new ? or old? I think we had the uk one in april so its not that much newer, im more interested in the 1.6 rom, has anyone downloaded it to see if it really is 1.6

Guest diggicolg Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 how can it installed with cyanogenmod rom? i cannot do the steps explained in the manual..
Guest jeddy1 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 the size is too small, the previous updates was around 110mb, if I have time ill download it and extract updata and extract the system.img to see the build date That's it!im sure we'll have more space.who will give it a try is the question?I would but I have no pc for the moment so I revert back if something goes wrong.
Guest ogiogi Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 That's it!im sure we'll have more space.who will give it a try is the question?I would but I have no pc for the moment so I revert back if something goes wrong. Flashed it yesterday. There's more space on data and less on system. 80+ on data and 88 i think on system.
Guest Richard_Arkless Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) how can it installed with cyanogenmod rom? i cannot do the steps explained in the manual.. You put the dload folder on the sd card then you turn the phone on while holding the volume down button and the red button then it will flash Flashed it yesterday. There's more space on data and less on system. 80+ on data and 88 i think on system. so would you recommend others use this over the others, if so I will flash this over the uk one to get more space in data Edited January 10, 2011 by Richard_Arkless
Guest ogiogi Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 so would you recommend others use this over the others, if so I will flash this over the uk one to get more space in data Personally i like more space on /system because i use a2sd and don't need much space on /data :D But this partition layout is pretty good for having apps and dalvik on /data and that's good news for users that don't want to use a2sd. p.s. Wipe data and cache before updating or you'll get stuck on android screen :P

Wipe data and cache before updating or you'll get stuck on android screen :P yes but froyo gives us the opportunity to move the apps to sd so im not using a2sd.so i guess it would be better i flsh this over the uk.isnt this better richard? btw it had just this difference?no other?
Guest diggicolg Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 You put the dload folder on the sd card then you turn the phone on while holding the volume down button and the red button then it will flash so would you recommend others use this over the others, if so I will flash this over the uk one to get more space in data Thanks a lot :D
Guest Richard_Arkless Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) yes but froyo gives us the opportunity to move the apps to sd so im not using a2sd.so i guess it would be better i flsh this over the uk.isnt this better richard? btw it had just this difference?no other? I havent had time to flash this but I guess it would be better as you get more space for data, problem is most 2.x rom's system folder is over 88mb so you will have to remove some apps but im sure once you remove apps that you can get optionally from the market you will be fine ogiogi have you tried the time machine updata from huawei to see if you can revert back to a previous update like the UK one edit just a little correction the UK 2.1 was built in june (had a look at fastboot) so this is a month newer so I would suspect that the only thing that has changed is the partition structure, most likely because people complained about the other 2.1 updates giving you hardly any room for data :D Edited January 11, 2011 by Richard_Arkless
Guest ogiogi Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 ogiogi have you tried the time machine updata from huawei to see if you can revert back to a previous update like the UK one Flashed UK update and then HU update with no issues. No need for Time Travel :D
Guest Richard_Arkless Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 Flashed UK update and then HU update with no issues. No need for Time Travel :D ok thanks, did you get to take any screenshots and how vanilla is it
Guest ogiogi Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 ok thanks, did you get to take any screenshots and how vanilla is it It's 0% vanilla and 100% Pink :D Stock T-Mo ROM like the UK update.
Guest Richard_Arkless Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 It's 0% vanilla and 100% Pink :D Stock T-Mo ROM like the UK update. wow im quite surprised considering the system folder in the uk was like 100mb so they must be doing something right :P
Guest Nielzs Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) Flashed this one over Froyo ROM. No probs there. Android keyboard has word correction on by default, can't change the settings, because, they aren't there. It's got a new sms notification pop-up. I don't notice any Mb space gain in comparison to the UK 2.1 Rooted the rom, and flashed a2sd on it. Works like a charm..ROM still speedy. Edit: It has only a few and different ringtones than the UK ROM. Edited January 11, 2011 by Nielzs
Guest sopdu Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 Rooted the rom, and flashed a2sd on it. Works like a charm..ROM still speedy. How do you root the pulse with the new rom, i killed the pulse with old superboot files ?
