[ROM][NANDROID] Navalynt's ROM (Froyo 2.2.1 leak based) 01/03/2010 - Milestone XT720 Android Development

DOWNLOAD LINK (remove temporarily until I can re-upload the nandroid with boot included)
Unzip the downloaded files to your microSD card then use OpenRecovery 1.46 to restore the nandroid backup. This *should* work for XT720 handsets currently on 2.1 that want to update to 2.2 without updating the radio.
THIS IS UNTESTED! It works on my phone, but restoring nandroids on other handsets has not been tested yet on the XT720 (to my knowledge)
USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! If you brick your phone or hear banjos I won't be held responsible! ​

Can you provide any kind of link to a pack of those guys? Aside from that, kudos, good job and all that jazz.
Question though: what are your 3G wavelenghts? I just want to know if flashing this will crap out my XT720's ability to connect to 3G. (or am i misinterpreting stuff?)

So do the problems that plagued the leaked firmware still exist in this fix? (Sensors not working, LEDs not lighting up)

thanks navalynt...
i will test and do benchmark tonite...

Hello navalynt, I'm a new italian member of this incredible forum.
I signed up immediately after watching this discussion. I'm waiting to arrive the XT720 of my girlfriend, because I bought it on eb**. Now I would like to ask you some questions refered your rom:
1. Is it a really Froyo rom or only an Eclair modification?
If it's a really Froyo Rom:
2. If it is a really Froyo rom have you found crashes, slowdowns and other problems?
3. Have you tried flash player?
4. If I install this Froyo rom, App2sd is pre-installed or I install it separatelly (from the market)?
5. Finally I would like to know if there is the italian language support, especially in the qwerty.
Thank you! Excuse me for many questions that i did to you
P.S.: As soon as I get the XT720 will test your rom!!!

I think I know the problem, when I did the nandroid I forgot to check the box for boot so it didn't backup the kernel I'll redo it again in a few hours.
Thanks for trying it out! I appreciate everyones feedback thus far!

changes from leak
can you please post the changes in rom you made beside the leaked one
- not that apps you deleted
i mean the changes to get (if working) sensors, 3g , ...
thanks joe

I'm getting exited over this thread Navalynt. Keep the good work you've got all my prayers.

Yes, what I'd like the best is an overall phone functionality report.
I would volunteer myself to do that, but my phone hasn't arrived yet..
I wonder if Motorola improved the video recording capabilities of the device. It's weird how the i8910 now has a very decent 720p recording (constant 24fps @ default, 30fps w/ overclock) using the exact same processing hardware (thanks to some modders, not samsung).

I'll give this a go later today, if you manage to upload a new build.
Edit:
I would like a functionality report from navalynt so that I and other testers can have a baseline (best case scenario) to compare to.
Do the following work?
- 1700Mhz and 2100MHz 3G (which you claim are working)
- Proximity Sensor (try by calling and see if screen locks) / Acceleromter (try by seeing if screen auto-rotates)
- Flash in stock browser
- Native Apps to SD and Wifi Tether

i cant wait for him to reupload this, i am dieing to try it out.

WOW, Good. Navalynt is coming back.

Gingerbread keyboard issue

Can you try adding qemu.sf.lcd_density=240 to the build.prop file? I did that on mine and I no longer need to deal with SetRes anymore.

Good luck.. hope this works out.. looking forward to flash! Hopefully 3g and autorotate works..

[ROM][froyo]-di11igaf's Rom v2.5 AND BETA 3.0- 12/16/10

NO LONGER SUPPORTED
ODIN 1 CLICK TO STOCK JF6 BEFORE FLASHING 2.0[/B
Added updated flashable zip to bottom of post which includes some theme updates, apk updates and themes, and some window animations. This post will be hopefully be updated tomorrow with a newer version, and this clockwork flashable .zip should hold off those who waiting on the rom update.
first boot will take a bit.
This is a brand new rom ive been working on for the last few days. Based on newest i9000 froyo release UGJK3 (build date 11/18) and tweaked from there.
-SetiroN 1.5 kernel -user configurable OC up to 1460/default is 1200(go to 1400's at your own risk
-haptic feedback works on ALL buttons
-OC/UV support-voltage control app installed to /data/app
-BLN added and required lights.so lib added to /data/app
-apps and framework deodexed and optimized
-zipaligned
-rooted, busybox and sqlite included
-extended power controls(reboot, recovery, download)
-Captivate dialer, camera, etc. (no video chat references)
-Completely themed with pieces from all of my favorite themes(pics of theme seen HERE
-Fixed build.prop so protected apps can be seen on the market
-Big APN file for instant inernet/mms access
-ad-blocking
-AOSP themed lockscreen
-HSUPA enabled -comes with UGJK3 modem(no need to do anything crazy to get 850 working-this modem works as is)
-this rom will not switch back and forth between H and 3g, the symbol should stay on 3g even if hsupa is enabled and working
-comes with SWYPE, dark Droid X multitouch keyboard, and samsung keyboard
-Launcher Pro and TWlauncher included in /system/app
it seems like Samsung took some advice from gtg with the twlauncher(never seen the stock launcher this fast or smooth)
-removed some junk apps
-added
voltage control 2.0
cyanogen MMS (switch background color-white/black)
updated maps and youtube
flash player will auto-install
Starting with v3.0, d1g1talphyre will be helping with all future versions of the rom. Im going to be extremely busy is in the upcoming weeks so this will help me get 3.0 out faster to you guys.
3.0 changelog-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9876005&postcount=597
3.0.1-only difference is the power menu fix. there is a .zip for those who have 3.0 already around page 76 or so.
here is a link to a circle batt mod made by d1g1talphyre. this framework-res.apk will only change the circle batt and thats it. rest of the theme is the same.

-all window animations added except for bounce-credit to [email protected]
probably some more small things that i forget right now.
When you apply your lagfix, choose option one when prompted "backup AND restore"
Install Instructions:
as always, its best to flash to stock JF6 with the odin one click downloader.
copy this rom to your internal sd card, and after flashing stock. flash this through Clockwork Recovery. thats it. no need to do anything with the jg8 modem or anything like that.
on first flash, all=ext4 is enabled by default-if you want to use something else, select go back to recovery then go to the lagfix options and enable whatever you want. when your prompted with the options about backing up, i suggest choosing option 1. this will do a backup and restore so you will not lose any apps(the other options you will lose the apps in /data)
credits:
SetiroN for his kernel

samcrow-some images
Credit to xcaliberinhand-he made the original kernel for us to be able to use i9000 roms and hsupa modems
Been looking forward to this.
Thanks, I'll try it tonight.
+1
i hadn't planned on it, but it looks like i'll be flashing today
sweet! downloading and flashing @ work, excited to test.
I couldnt apply lag fix right away had to reboot first ... BUT it did tell me my configs changed ???? ... I chose option 1 and noticed it set up like this
ext4
rfs
ext4
false
false
false
false
?????
booting up was about 2 minutes on android logo
reboot to recovery then fix it to no rfs advanced ... ( all jfs )
looking good I previously dropped this rom because of modem giving me issue
will set my stuff and report back if needed .
PS why is the Fm app always in your rom ? do you hope it will work at one point ?
looks great yay launcher pro included
you few that download already, here is a better videoplayer.apk. it doesnt fix the problem, but at least youll be able to view your recorded videos from /sdcard-dcim-camera. still looking at problem and trying to find a fix.
from this point on this video player is included with the rom.(reuploaded)

some people have said if that app is removed it can cause problems. if you dont like it, remove it from /system/app.
first boot will take a while as it zipaligns and deodexes.
and btw this rom has nothing in common with my other di11is darkyy rom except my theme. this is my own base.
Ive been running your darky rom 2.0.1 for a day with the jk3 modem. Downloading now to check out the CM mms. I hope its the one with the notification vibration types like multiple long.

thx bro. was planning on reflashing myself to verify.
My home button didnt work either, not sure about lock screen. Flashing back to stock now.
My home button worked fine. hmmm, also I can confirm the video player.apk in the first post for us couple who downloaded early is letting me play video. But just as stated, can only open it from file manager to view.
great rom so far, its fast. Yes, I did run benchmarks, not that they really matter anymore. can notice the difference in speed when deleting widgets, open anything. It screams, props di11igaf, awesomely quick rom.

just downloaded my own file, reflashed to stock put the downloaded file on my sd and flashed again with no probs. first thing i did though was apply lagfix and when the backup and restore options pop up make sure you choose the first option to backup and restore all data.
let me know if you do reflash this if you have the same problem.

preciate it, will try later. problem probably because i apply lagfix "without backup and restore."
ahh ya i bet thats why. not sure why it really would matter(since the problem your describing would be an android.policy.jar problem) but im gonna try it that way and see if it makes a difference. thats the only thing different that we did though.
also i think if you apply the lagfix that way, any apps in the rom that are in /data/app by default will not be restored-at least this has happened to me in the past and why now i always do a backup and restore.
I did a yes without backup and restore, and the home button ain't workin.

[Q] [ROM] X8 | Sense | 2.1 | 2.2 | 2.3 | xRecovery [WiP]

As I can't post in the dev forum I though I'd ask in here; maybe we can use this as Q/A thread and keep the dev thread clean
I've been wanting to mess about a bit with those roms, and I've installed aZuZu's kitchen and loaded up the system.img from the 2.2.1 CM Floyo v0.10. As I can't live w/o headphones I will look into that as a test. I know I might be totally off track here, but I want to try
I want to include the SystemConnector.apk as that seems to be responsible for 3.5mm jack. When I introduce it into the 2.2.1 system I get error: "has no signatures that match those in shared user android.uid.system; ignoring!" Does this mean I have to re-sign it? and with what key?
I've tried signing the app on the phone using zipsigner, and I've used all types of keys. I still end up with the same error..
Now on the latest 2.2.1 that racht have done and my errors are:
Code:
D/PackageManager( 1743): Scanning package com.sonyericsson.systemconnector
D/PackageManager( 1743): Shared UserID android.uid.system (uid=1000): packages=[PackageSetting{462e19c8 com.android.settings/1000}, PackageSetting{462e31b8 com.google.android.backup/1000}, PackageSetting{462dfd80 com.google.android.location/1000}, PackageSetting{462e2fb8 com.android.server.vpn/1000}, PackageSetting{462e27b8 com.android.providers.settings/1000}, PackageSetting{462e0610 com.cyanogenmod.cmparts/1000}, PackageSetting{462e2358 com.android.providers.subscribedfeeds/1000}, PackageSetting{462e1808 android/1000}]
E/PackageManager( 1743): Package com.sonyericsson.systemconnector has no signatures that match those in shared user android.uid.system; ignoring!
W/PackageManager( 1743): Package couldn't be installed in /data/app/com.sonyericsson.systemconnector-1.apk
AFAIK it's using the system uid to gain some specific rights, so I'm not sure if I should change that. I'll try to copy it to /system/app and set rights and chown it to 1k:1k and see what happens
2.2.1 CyanogenMod Floyo v0.11
Hi! Maybe that the mistake is at me, but for me this it mondta( 2.2.1 CyanogenMod Floyo v0.11), that the memory the safe removal of a card, restarted then :S. All this kb 15perc after a usage. One 16GB-Class digs 4 microSD-t I am useful, FAT32 and EXT2 partitions.
I had the same, but 0.12 is stable for me.
What I did:
- I use MyBackup Root to keep a backup of my mms/sms/call log and a few select apps. I also keep a copy of that on my sdcard. I use the stock sdcard...
I started up xRecovery
- Cleared the cache partition
- Mounted my sdcard so I could format my 348mb Ext3 partition from windows using Minitool Partition Wizard Home Edition.
- Installed 0.12 from restore function.
Rebooted and rewarded myself with a coffee
Installes/changes:
- Installed ADW.launcher (opensource version)
- Removed other launcher
- Installed the earphones changer (see main thread for info - SUPARFANTASTIC!)
- Installed Super Manager (it's got it's own version of BusyBox so it won't fail like Root Explorer)
- Removed unwanted apps that racht left behind
Going for a few hrs now and been stable. Don't know about battery usage yet but I can live with that. It's stable and I think racht will continue on his epic quest and I'll follow him as good as I can
hi..
anyone has try 2.2.1 CM HACKDROID v0.12?
when i use this rom, 3G/GPRS is not functioning...
in the detail that rom can use 3G/GPRS but why i can't?
anyone can tell me why?
sorry my english is bad...
Seems to me like you'll have to install a bunch of updates to get a working one. So far I think it's luck when I get something working and when it's not. Currently trying out the X10 one that's ported to X8, but market is failing. Maybe it can work if I apply it on top of something else.. Reverting to racht's 2.2.1
If you've not done so install the SDK and then you can do "adb logcat" to see log output on your pc if it's connected to phone. You might want to redirect output to a file with command like:
adb logcat >output.txt
And then you can browse through it later
My tip: install 0.11 and then upgrade to 0.12 like 1st post sais.
I returned to 0.12 and copied the SystemConnector.apk from the mini and put it on my sdcard and installed it Works like a charm.
My 0.12 status
not working:
- Video encode
- Crypto - so app2sd-aware apps won't install - like angrybirds.
By umounting sdcard angrybirds and other apps will install
- FM radio
-Mount sdcard to PC - no issue for me for now
working:
- all that post sais should be working
- headphones (the stock ones) by installing the app from the mini release.
What I did:
Cleaned out everything but my fat partition on the sdcard.
Format /data
Format /system
Format /cache
Format ext3 partition
Install 0.12 from backup
Install SystemConnector
Install ADW.Launcher (opensource version)
Install AppManager (as UninstallForRoot won't install for me - crypto related)
Remove unwanted system apps
Press Power only to giggle at the awesome "oldskool tv-off animation" and then turn screen back on.
Show off phone to GF who sais she'll keep her stock install while I reboot all day

Hello,
I tried both floyo and gingerbread and they are great (thanks Racht!) but some apps are missing: The Radio and countdown. I think that these are really useful apps, so please put them in floyo, better in gingerbread.
Another thing, instead of the simple calculator is it posible to usa a calculator at least wit the percentage?

Hi,
I have installed 2.2.1 CM HACKDROID v0.12. It's work great but I but two minor issues :
I can't upgrade launcher pro
I can't start root explorer and that crash my SD card
Does anyone have a solution ?
2.2.1 CM HACKDROID v0.12 doesn't boot
I have a rooted android 1.6 phone (Xperia X8). I made a backup from my android 1.6 and installed "2.2.1 CM HACKDROID v0.12" with xrecovery, but when I reboot, he shows only the text "HACKDROID" and does nothing else. To shutdown the phone I am forced to take off the battery, because anything else doesn't work. I restored my android 1.6 backup and everything works like before.
How can I use "2.2.1 CM HACKDROID v0.12" with my phone ? Should I first upgrade to android 2.1 ?

[ROM][BL1.1][BL1.2] GtabComb beta 3.3 (updated 7/27/2011) Gtablet\Zpad T2

MOD EDIT: AS WE ARE REORGANIZING THE GTABLET FORUM - ALL ROMS/KERNELS/ETC WILL HAVE THEIR Q&A POSTS MOVED TO THE Q&A SECTION.
THE Q&A LOCATION FOR THIS ROM IS HERE
Thanks.
---------------------------------------
STANDARD DISCLAIMER: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. By running this firmware mod, you agree that there is the possibility that you may brick your device and neither myself, XDA nor Viewsonic are responsible for supporting you if that occurs. In this case, it is required that you learn and setup nvflash prior to running this mod.
This is a port of AdamComb with pershoot kernel and some tweak for performance and usability. Thanks all the greatest Adam, Vegan, Gtab devs that make this rom possible.
Install instruction:
1. Make sure the version of your bootloader and download the corresponding rom
2. I guess most of you should already be in CWM, but if you are not. update the recovery to CWM first. Stock recovery might work but you need to do some work and CWM is much better anyway.
3. Wipe data / Factory reset. It might work well, but you will most likely have problems without doing this.
4. Using the "install from sdcard" to install and enjoy.
Features: Very fast and stable
For AdamComb features, check its original post at tabletroms.
1. Overclocked by default, max frequesy adjusted by battery level.
-- you could use setcpu to adjust the min, max frequency. The build-in script for cpu management respect the setting from setcpu
2. Tweaked internal storage & SD card read speeds
3. Annoying ads in programs are blocked
4. Calkulin's battery saving script
5. data2loop works super well
6. pre-load some useful modules at boot time, e.g. cifs, ntfs, utf8, tun.
Known Issues:
1. Anything related to hardware acceleration
2. Stock Camera App does not work.

1. update to pershoot 26.32.43 kernel. As already confirmed by some users, this version runs faster and hopefully it also resolve the BT tether issue
2. fix the "import" bug in init.rc.
3. change the label of sdcard and mircosd to be the same as in stock version. So far I have not got any issue and it does fix the "install unsuccessful" problem for some app.
4. remove some libs that does not use in gtab to free up some space. now all the libs in pershoot kernel are available in this rom. just edit the /system/etc/init.d/05modules to add your desired lib in the modules string.
5. Thanks all you guys for testing this and digging into issues. This help me a lot to resolve some issues here. It is the effort from all of us that make this rom better and better.

[BL1.2]
link: http://www.mediafire.com/?xqoo08e1m49no1d
changelog:
1. battery life improved a lot
2. overall system performance improvement.
3. partially fixed bluetooth. Not sure how much it works (pulling some of bluetooth libs from flashback)
4. remove street and office app. put back camera app (it still fc, put it here so that some power user could play on it to see if we could find a fix here)
5. fix an issue that usb connect and debug notification does not disappear when the usb is disconnected (well, it still do not work if the usb is disconnected when the system is on sleep)
6. code reorganization and clean up. make it easier for some power user to change settings and plug in scripts without the need to unpack/repack boot.img. Hopefully we could have more power user to play with the system and further improved this rom.
7. change the cpu governor to respect on cpumaster, so you can use both setcpu or cpumaster to adjust the voltage if you really do not like the cpu managed by the buildin script.
8 change bootanimation (pulling from the bootanimation collection by thinkdevoid @tabletroms)
Again, back up and wipe data and factory reset (at least wipe dalvik cache) if you want a smooth experience. Almost all unexpected FCs are related to NOT wiping data

This is the old rom that based on Roebee's BOS HoneyComb. Check Roebeet's orginal post for more detail.
Besides the greatness of BOS, this rom also have some additional features:
1. Overclocked by default (max frequesy adjusted by battery level)
2. Tweaked internal storage & SD card read speeds
3. Annoying ads in programs are blocked
4. Calkulin's battery saving script
Known Issues:
1. All the BOS issues apply here

alpha 1.6 (based on BOS_a6.0)
Note: users in other roms have mix experience on data2loop. It works very well for me, but I do not know how it will work for you. If it works well, you should expect data intesive apps (e.g. email, galary, market, etc) load much faster. If you do not know what data2loop is and its potential risk, do not flash a1.6.2. a1.6.1 already perform very well. you should wipe user data/factory reset before flashing a1.6.2 if you decide to try it.
--a1.6.2 (ext2 data2loop enabled. Very fast. Quardrant score: 3923)

Just flashed this last night and had about 2 hours with it (not a lot of time at all but) I love it!!! It's my first Honeycomb ROM. Great so far... what a learning curve HC is? Just weird but I am getting the hang of it. Thanks all for your hard work!
pyro6128 said:
Loving the rom so far. Really great job, one question though. Is there a way to make it so pressing the home button takes me to the main screen instead of to the large clock? I'm probably just messing an easy setting or something, but I can't seem to find it.
Edit: For anyone interested, unless there is another way that I'm aware of, you can fix this by using titanium backup to freeze the clock in the backup/restore menu. This breaks the alarm clock though. Hope that helps, maybe someone else will have a better solution

Could you explain a bit more what is your issue?
What you mean by "large clock"?
I am on 1.6.2 and anytime I press home button I end on home screen. :-O
First HC rom here too, really nice interface improvements. Thanks to the devs for giving us this!
Is it just me, or is anyone else "missing" the menu bar at the bottom of the home screen with home, menu, back etc keys?
EDIT: Issue was resolved by wiping and reinstalling. Think it might have been caused because I launched VLT Launcher first time I booted up HC and not the default launcher.
hey guys, i just upgraded to this from vegan 5.1.1 and so far im liking it! Its worked fairly well for my games so far including plants vs zombies keep up the great work!
Video
How does this rom handle video formats? What video player works best? Thanks

I am using UPnPlay + Rockplayer and so far it played everything I tried.
Only drawback is lack of fullscreen, but that is general HoneyComb issue:-(

When i would press home either on my gtab or on the screen, the screen would change to a large clock. If you've ever seen the desk clock feature on a droid (like when its in the dock), thats what it looked like.
I had the previous BOS version from this thread of 6/24 (?) and it ran fine. I downloaded 1.62 and it would not run - it would not go past lock screen. 1.61 did the same thing. Did full wipe before and after install, and downloaded both versions again and after install the same thing happened. I am now downloading 1.52 and will try that one.

I just updated from a1.5 to a1.6 and found out that ad-hoc networks are not supported (I get error 82). Rebooted many times but still doesn't work. This is a great problem because I cannot use wifi tethering from my android phone therefore cannot go online!!! Any help?????
Same here as Aldo.Caruso - no adhoc wifi on 1.6.1
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
I noticed this rom doesn't have google talk installed. I pulled the honeycomb gtalk apk from bottle of smoke. So far it seems to work without issue. I have it attached here, just download and install like you would any other apk.
Good so far
Awsome ROM, only one problem so far for me. Facebook for Android 1.6 keeps saying I don't have a connection. While facebook with the browser works fine.
is anyone else having problems playing youtube videos (with in the youtube app) in HD? i can only play them in sd (very grainy in the large tablet screen)
But other then that excellent rom - thanks to all that are involved.

Sorry, I had never seen that thing you are talking about. Picture will help here. But if you have such an app installed, go to application management in settings and check whether it is not marked as default app for home. If yes, reset that setting.

I decided to go back to alpha1.5 because lack of ad-hoc network support is too much an issue considering that Gtab is wifi only and tethering to my android phone is the only way to go online!!!
Anyway I just read this on the Slatedroid forum:
http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/18755-ad-hoc-network/
This file and method are meant for the Iconia Tab but I posted a question asking if it could work also on other tablets. Will let you know.
Could someone smarter then me try to explain why the heck you need such weird thing like ad-hoc wifi :-O
I know that Google disabled some useful things in Android, but I am sure ad-hoc was not disabled, it was simply ommited as completely obsolete and useless way of connection.
Every modern WiFi chip can act as AP, so there is no reason to use ad-hoc. Is it possible to secure it? I am not sure, but I doubt it...
Anyway, I am using my other android phone for wifi tethering and there is definitely no need for ad-hoc for wifi tethering...
But maybe I am completely dumb. In that case, please educate me a bit...
issues with 1.6.2 on GTablet UPC300-2.2
really like it, very fast and looks great. i have a few questions:
1. the camera is not working at all.
2. i have no volume control at all, it is full or off no in between.
Any one else see tjis or have a solution to fix it???

[ROM] Acer_A500 OTA 7.014.14 [HC 3.2.1] Rooted w/ Busybox for CWM [Jan 6th, 2012] EOL

ROM: (HonnyComb)
Here is an ACER 3.2.1 near stock android image installable via clockwork recovery.
(Tested on a Wifi only acer a500)
[size=+2]acer7.014.14_CUST_ROOT_BBv4_S.zip[/size]
(MD5: cfd6ecee33891cc8e6e2625e8ea89511)
Note: April 30, 2012: The stock kernel will work both on HoneyComb and unlocked (v3) ICS bootloaders
Note: May 18, 2012: The update, no wipe required, to this ICS rom is now posted here this thread will remain for anyone remaining on HC​
Simply install via clockwork or RA recovery; if you have a rooted and mostly unmodified version of HC 3.1/3.2 currently it may be possible to use this install without a wipe (4.010.41 users are likely to have the best results); However make sure you backup first just in case.
Users of the previous (acer7.006.01_CUST_ROOT_BBv2) version may safely upgrade without a wipe however the following is recommended: 1) wipe dalvik cache in the advance menu of CWM recovery, 2) you may need to the apps menu to get the new market icon (my previous homescreen shortcut was no longer valid but the one in the app list worked without a problem, as making a new shortcut)
Last if you notice slowdowns or forcequits withing 24/48h of upgrading before reporting them try going into recovery and running both "fix permissions" and "clear dalvik cache" then boot the tablet waiting for the logon screen to appear and the screen to dim and turn off before using the tablet. At this point you van use the tablet normally.
This file is based off the OTA update: Acer_A500_4.010.41_7.006.01_COM_GEN1_1315966386585_07733ac7.zip subequently updated to 7.014.14_COM_GEN1 by manually extracted these images
(As was sent via OTA here in canada)
Modification Log:
I've made the following changes to the original OTA files:
decrypted and configured for installation from clockwork recovery
remove the bootloader flash (Separate analysis will be required to tell if this is safe) If so it is still not useful in a rooted Clockwork rom install, since in future it may become a downgrade not an update.
remove recovery flasher
remove both OTA cert and original ca_certs in favor of the cacert by guardianproject
Add a version of busybox (built in my HTC Dream rom ezGingerbread build tree using target utility_busybox from the commit https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_external_busybox/tree/995d0d35bde285)
make busybox the default shell
Include Superuser/su
configure runparts (runs scripts in /system/etc/init.d) only a "Welcome" script is included however if you wish to run any script on startup you can do so by adding them to your /system/etc/init.d directory)
Note this rom is still odexed
(v2) fix she-bang on am, bmgr, ime, input, monkey, pm, svc shell scripts
(v3) incorporate "Skype Fix" into rom, thus no need to flash a second file to fix skype video calls (obviously you still need to install skype from market)
(v3) incorporate "wifi fix" for infinate DHCP leases, unfortinatly this was still not working in the base rom, however the fix is now part of this install.
(v3) uninstall Future Dial (acer updater) this prevents the system update from appearing in the menu/background, as it won't work anyway with the modificaitons
(v3) rebased to Acer A500 7.014.14_COM_GEN1 (previously 7.006.01_COM_GEN1)
(v3) SuperUser updated to v3.0.7
(v3) Set wifi only by default (if you need otherwise you will need to comment out the last line of the build.prop file, information in the comment above said line)
(v4) Remove extra market related files (merge errors from the acer patches); this ensures the new version of market runs properly (thanks to civato for pointing this out)
* entries starting with (vN) - indicates fixed/added in version N, ie (v2) indicates fixed in version 2 and on
Additional Information:
This is a very simple set of changes that ought to allow rooted users looking for a basic version of Honeycomb 3.2 (and now 3.2.1) safely update without loosing root. Its intended for users that wish a minimally modified rom with root. Either to be used as a rooted stock rom as is; or to be a base to make other small modifications as needed.
As such I'm more likely to provide addons than changing the base rom its self. (excluding any bugs of my creation or new official releases form ACER)
Note the kernel is the stock kernel from acer. Acer's A500 kernel source code can be found at here
FYI: You may use this as a base for other roms as long as credit is given with a link back to this thread where reasonable.
Add Ons
~~-- Stock Kernel Modules --~~
Here are some kernel modules for the stock acer kernel
(Tested both on acer7.006.01_CUST_ROOT_BBv2_S, and acer7.014.14_CUST_ROOT_BBv3/acer7.014.14_CUST_ROOT_BBv4)
tun.ko

cifs.ko
md5: 86b936fb269daa1f688f3f8535c36c23
Since I'm having problems with a corrupt tar.gz file with the latest posted [by acer0] a500 kernel code; these have been built from the a501 version with a a500 config. (the "Application Guide (for Android 3.2 HoneyComb" posted on 9/19) Hopefully this will not be an issue but let me know if you have any issues with the modules (I've checked they load but not that they are fully functional)
~~-- Villain Iconia Kernel --~~
(Tested both on acer7.006.01_CUST_ROOT_BBv2_S, and acer7.014.14_CUST_ROOT_BBv3/acer7.014.14_CUST_ROOT_BBv4)
Here is a re-bundle of the Villain Iconia kernel (original zImage form richardtrip) The installer however has been modified since we now need a new ramdisk image than the one previously bundled with the kernel.
V3.7

For more information including source code see Villain_iconia_kernel_3.4.zip from Stock/HV/Taboonay V3.4 for HC 3.2 10-09 - 1.64Ghz/UV control
(This will let you overclock and access some more modules, but I've found the stock kernel overall more stable)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Size=+1] The following is only for the previous acer7.006.01_CUST_ROOT_BBv2_S version:[/Size]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~~-- Wifi Dropouts Patch --~~
If you are having issues with your wifi connections it is recommended to check your router doesn’t have indefinite DHCP leases
However if you can't prevent the indefinite lease a patch for such dhcp connectivity problems is available:
wifipatch_7.006.01v2_S.zip
MD5: 39c0a1cdd755458eb6edd6aa786e4f5f
Additional details here
(Note this have been built in on V3 and thus is no longer needed)
~~-- Skype(tm) Patch --~~
Fixes video calls on market skype client
skypepatch_7.006.01v2_S.zip
MD5: 99cadf8c5b8eca25aa60b38aa83ec91a
Flash from recovery; and install skype form market as usual (or open it if already installed) video options will appear in settings.
Details of the problem/solution and the patch are in this post
(Note this has been built in on V3 and thus is no longer needed on that version)
~~-- Netflix --~~
Install from market:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.netflix.mediaclient&feature=search_result
If you previously installed a modified version such as the one modified to play on the a500 without breaking video you will need to uninstall the modified version prior to installing the market version.
~~-- Cell Standby fix/option --~~
If you are seeing Cell standby in your battery use simply add ro.carrier=wifi-only to your build.prop
Via adb:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
echo 'ro.carrier=wifi-only' >> /system/build.prop
sync
reboot
Via terminal/local connectbot
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
echo 'ro.carrier=wifi-only' >> /system/build.prop
sync
reboot
(Note this has been built in on V3 and thus is no longer needed on that version)
~~-- SuperUser 3.0 update --~~
We need to flash the rom manager update, but as rom manager is not yet working on this tab get the update zip and flash in recovery:
su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip
Md5: c05902fdf90f7635c711e4dcd1c32c45
(Note this has been built in on V3 and thus is no longer needed on that version)
~~-- Previous Versions --~~
[size=+1]v1: acer7.006.01_CUST_ROOT_BBv1_S.zip[/size]
(MD5: df11f6a309f34ac4c0209aded4ca3f20)
This version had an error in the she-bang of the included scripts such as pm, v2 corrected this to the expected '#!/system/bin/sh'
To save bandwidth I'm not providing the original file; however you can re-generate it with the following binary diff:
On a linux computer with the bsdiff package installed run:
Code:
bspatch acer7.006.01_CUST_ROOT_BBv2_S.zip acer7.006.01_CUST_ROOT_BBv1_S.zip acer7.006.01_CUST_ROOT_BBv2_to_v1.bsdiff
Using the v2 version and acer7.006.01_CUST_ROOT_BBv2_to_v1.bsdiff
[size=+1]v2: acer7.006.01_CUST_ROOT_BBv2_S.zip[/size]
MD5: b254140896742f3deec464c094fb2515
Longtime running version very stable, however some users have had some minor issues correctable by the above patches.
[size=+1]v3: acer7.014.14_CUST_ROOT_BBv3_S.zip
[/size]
MD5: c734317089d323dffde9c7d4fe7afce4
Inital upgrade to 7.014.14 had some issues with extra market related files, if you are running this version it is recommended to upgrade to V4 or (if you wish to avoid the download and the cost to me of the bandwidth) follow the instructions here to manually make the same change yourself.

I still needed the patch (you will need to apply it by hand)
I hear rumor's [but have not spotted it first hand] of some library that works with both camera and the library.. if I find that one I'd be happy to make a flash-able patch.
Also looking at the Stock/HV/Taboonay kernels, since he is not extracting the ramdisk from the existing boot.img it looks like they will not be 100% compatible with this rom out of the box. (will make something up shortly)
10/2: see note one netflix
Thanks, Working Great
I flashed from 4.010.13 without a full wipe without any issues. I cleared cache, wiped dalvik cache, and flashed. Thanks for your work. This ROM will be very useful for those of us that want to retain root and take advantage of the stability that the stock ROM brings.
Small bug with shell scripts such as pm, This can cause problems with rooted applications expecting them or adb commands, to fix just grab the updated version at the top of the op acer7.006.01_CUST_ROOT_BBv2_S.zip
If you already updated you can safely flash this new version over your current one; however if you subsequently changed items in /system (such as the netflix hack) you will need to make the change again after the upgrade.
Apologies for missing this in my initial testing last night. (my fault for working on this practically while sleeping..)
.. and A501 3G
why is it that when scrolling apps or scrolling of the home screen became sluggish after installing 3.2?

If you had a non stock rom ported from another device it could be just incompatible data and a wipe is needed.
If it was a stock rom it could be a data issue try wiping dalvik cache and running fix permissions in recovery.
It could also be something ypu have installed. (Widgets in particular)
I see no slowdown really I don't see much difference from a user perspective from 3.1.

This is a a500 stock rom with root modifications..If it works on a a501 great.. but if not I can't support it.. its another device.. Likely 3g will fail.
If works or you have a patch for me to make it work feel free to let me know however.
I wondered how you got the OTA when you have A500_4.010.41 originally ??
I thought North America the latest HC3.1 was version A500_4.010.13_COM_GEN2 ??
anyway...
I am on A500_4.010.13_COM_GEN2 rooted with CWM... should I go ahead and flash this ??
I understand that it will keep root... and since I will have root... I guess I can use "Acer Recovery Installer" to re-install CWM ??
and freaking Acer !!!... we were on GEN_1 originally awhile back (HC3.0.1)... then went on to GEN_2 (HC3.1)... now with HC3.2 they are back with GEN_1 ??... freaking confusing idiots !!
and the A501 is keeping this format (4.015.01)...similar to HC3.1 format !
while us A500 is going to this format (7.006.01)
Side note:
If we are seeing custom roms for HC3.2 keeping root..etc... why can't dev managed to root stock 3.2 ??
and is the CWM recovery working for 3.2 ??

No clue was what the device auto updated to what I had, then I rooted (+ intercepted the OTA last night).. I don't know the regions ACER is using.. butthe tab was purchaced at a local staples.

The update I've provided won't touchrecovery, so you keep your current recovery and thus can restore your backup even if you mess up the rom.
You also will have root so you can re-flash reocvery if something goes wrong. But likely won't need to.
Last I'm not touching the bootloader so that will also remain as is.

Keeping root is diffrent from rooting the new system:
To keep root I pull the update zip from the system without letting it install, then I decrypt it (since acer encodes it) unzip it, then manually add/remove files to the update zip before installing via clockwork.
This way I don't need root to install superuser/su on a locked down system, but just install it via clockwork with the correct permissions.
Also recovery is seperate from the andoid system (seperate linuxkernel/ram disk from the main boot kernel/ramdisk) We need not touch it when installing a rom (even if most stock roms by default like to reflash recovery.)
I flashed my Packard bell libertytab with this rom and everything is just fine.
CWM and root.
Thanks.
Edit: I got the Thor 3.4 kernel running on it and it is fast.
24/7 at 1544MHz and even 1680 is no problem with it.
Max cfbench overall score is 9175.
my only problem is that the OP doesnt sound too sure of himself if this rom is even any good
thats just the feeling i got after reading his first post
it almost sounds like you dont have an iconia to test this on.
i do hope i am wrong. i guess i have not seen anyone post a rom and use the words in the manor you have. it just made me feel uneasy about if the rom even works.

I have an icona.. and its running the rom.
But the OTA hasn't even been out 24h (rooted or otherwise) so I've not had the time to really put the rom into its paces (nor has anyone else not working at ACER)
The other thing is my position on this rom; That is unless there is (a) a bug in the modifications I did make to provide root and some tools for end users to add their own tweaks; or (b) another official release provided by acer: I do not want to be updating the base rom; it ought to remain nearly as close to the stock OTA as possible (and any exception to this is already defined in my modification list)
Now if you have a interesting addition.. Or I come up with an interesting hack I'm happy to provide/advertise it as an "Add on" that the user may optionally flash on top of the rom to obtain the additional functionality.
(Of course I much rather work on roms with accessible source code.. unfortunately we will not be able to make such a thing until Google releases the source for Ice Cream Sandwich)
Rom appears to work fine fine. Cleared cache and dalvik cache and flashed to my Iconia with CWM from stock 3.1 and voila - 3.2
Flashed the modified HoneyVillain Kernel in post 2 and overclocked to 1504. Everything working fine so far. Netflix working with patch (rear videocam FC as usual).
I'm hoping for better battery life than Taboonay. Maybe it was just me, but I had awful battery life with Taboonay compared to stock.

I should mention after flashing that kernel I put ro.carrier=wifi-only into /system/build.prop to remove cell standby from battery use.
Also, since I didn't do full wipe, this truly came out as an upgrade, since everything on my tablet stayed the sam ein terms of apps and configuration
Scrolling thu home screen is smooth now but scrolling thru apps still lags, not as smooth as 3.1, I wipe my dalvik cache and clean wipe, should I wipe my partition?
As I just got the update notice today (US) for 3.2 I suppose the only question I would have is... can you tell me exactly how you did this so I can do it and only have su installed. Dont misunderstand as I appreciate the dev aspect of things but I have yet to see a stock rooted ROM or direction on how to that anybody hasnt 'tweaked'.
He already explained a few posts before. He took the update, dismantled it and took out the bit that will upgrade your recovery and wipe out the root. Repackaged it and viola! instant magic!

Most of the "tweaks" in here are you find not as optional as you may think.. Particularly for a distributed product.
However I've not modified any binary files; this means all the changes are either text files or removal/addition of binary blobs thus to see what I've done:
You need the official OTA image and to decrypt it/unzip it information is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878
(As well on two 3.2 update related threads happening in the a500 dev section)
Once you have unziped the zipfile and update.zip will be visible and is the base of the update.zip for this install.
In that file is system files, recovery flasher files a boot.img (this contains the ramdisk where I have modifications so adb shell works as root look into extracting the ramdisk with cpio) and scripts to help in the installation of the rom.. the updater-script (a few dirs under META-INI) is the script recovery runs.
From here you can compare the files in the official archive with mine, or ignore mine and modify the install to your own liking.
For best results knowing the structure of the files in system and how linux/android boots is important. Otherwise this is a hands on exercise, there is only so much advice I can give,thus looking at the original and seeing what I touched will likely provide insight particularly if your are stuck.
In the case of su/superuser I just pulled from the official zip on rom manager provided by ChainsDD (links at https://github.com/ChainsDD/Superuser/blob/gh-pages/manifest.js ) and placed them into system making sure to add the suid perm on su in the updater-script. This however will not allow adb shell as root or prevent clockwork recovery from being over written.
There is a bit of a learning curve.. even if to me this type of hack is trivial and I only bothered doing it so I could have the 3.2 OTA without loosing root, and without what I think are silly tweaks some other devs add.

Not very technical.. but once you decide to use the rom yes is about how its supposed to act.. And how I hope most of those that have downloaded the image think of it.
When i flash this, and reboot, i hang on the Acer bootup logo. No changes. I can go back into recovery and restore, but i can seem to get this to flash properly. I'd like to have a nice clean minimal 3.2.
I even wiped and did a clean instal, one note it did say
Offset:0x180
Before it said installation complete, it also 'installed' the file far to quickly in my opinion.

[Discontinued] Helly Bean Cbalt Edition V26 Test Online

Here is just some of what is changed. Mine isn't just a stock port, mine has stuff removed. dave71670's Salty Rom is in the second post.
Now without further ado, here is my V26 Test Release
Wipe Data/Factory Reset/Wipe Dalvik Cache/Flash Rom/Flash Addons/Advanced Fix Permissions In Recovery. If your power button randomly stops working from flashing my rom or anything else happens and you blame me I am going to laugh at you. If you do not know what you are doing, don't attempt to flash it. If you break it you fix it, I will help, but I am not responsible for anything.
My V26 Test Build = http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?iv6mz6cr82l663p
V26 Addons (Same As V25) = http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ja32agzq3o82ky3
Removed Apps & Files Folder (Some of them are newer than the old folder) = http://www.mediafire.com/?c0f17oxct7dq5
I am calling it a test release at this point, since I haven't ran it more than about an hour. I haven't had any problems though. If coming from CM10 or something else you will more than likely need to flash twice, first flash will go to around 15% and flash the kernel and reboot, second flash will go all the way and say install complete.
Changelog :
Based on 09/04/2012 Helly Bean
MMS updated with pop up notifications
Added https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.helroz.GSII_Repair&hl=en to the rom since I have noticed people complaining of losing there EFS folder a lot lately. I would download this on your current rom and back it up as long as you imei is correct, just to have it for all future releases of my rom or whoevers rom you decide to go to in case you ever lose your EFS folder which has your IMEI. It is a small app, is free and works great, I tried it by backing it up on my phone and then deleting my efs folder, then restoring it later with this program after I got the generic imei error. Credits go to Helroz for the app
Old Version Still Available V25 Rom = http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mlet0rdrlduzl8k

Md5 On Rom Zip = 839AC816B9D36E229C4A9344DA54EA33
Changelog =
Compiled from latest source of CM10 which you can find the changelog at http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/#captivatemtd/cm10/next
renamed the two navbar menus
More Build.prop tweaks
Edited Build.Prop Look In About Phone
Kernel in rom is always the latest VC Kernel
Updated GPS Config
Changed Boot Animation, Wait for a few seconds on boot up if you think it froze, It did not.
Changed Modem To KC1
Changed Updater.sh to Flash Modem if you have a modem already installed or not.
I have also created what I would like to call Cbalts Launcher Program. I have 4 launchers in the removed files folder, Apex, Nova, Trebuchet, And Zeam. You can flash any of them and it will remove the default zeam, to get zeam back flash Removal Tool.zip which will remove all 4 of the launchers if you decide to install all four of them at once. Then reflash the launcher of your choice and that will be the only launcher you have. If you do not reflash a launcher after flashing Removal Tool.zip you will not have a launcher. All launchers remove zeam, but the zeam launcher, I set it up that way since zeam is the default launcher. If you want a new launcher, tell me your choice and link me to it and I will make a flashable zip for it.

Okay, since someone else already grabbed above me, I gotta say this.
This boot animation (cbalt) is beyond atrocious. The idea is not to have as much **** fly over the screen as possible. The last image looks like a 10 year old + ms paint.
Look at slim ics' animation. That one does it's job, looks good and classy.
I know I'm coming off as a troll, but it needs to be said.
I look forward to the rest of the ROM. Thanks a lot. I do really appreciate it.
I think the separate thread was a good idea.
Cool!
I may check this ROM out.
You may want to create a zip file for those who want to add back on any of the removed stuff.
I woud not need this as I use Titanium Backup.:victory:
factory reset?
is factory reset really necessary? i thought wipe data, cache partition and dalvik would be sufficient. and fix permissions too.
charging my cappy now. will report on the rom later.

Probably a wise idea since you are coming from a different JB ROM or an ICS ROM or GB.
I would imagine that subsequent flashes of this ROM would not require a factory reset or /system wipe once you are on this ROM.

Wipe data and factory reset are one and the same. Next time you flash take a look in recovery.

now that you mentioned it, it does looks familiar 'wipe data / factory reset' in cwm. initially i thought factory reset means formatting internal storage. i don't want that to happen.

I personally recommend a wipe every update of this rom, just to help avoid issues, since dirty flashing is never ideal. Yes you can dirty flash, would I do it no, I wipe every time even if it is just a little change I did in the rom, I like to try and avoid issues as much as possible.
Full wipe it is - format /system, too?
Anyways, you need to update your sig/link:
I spend most my time in CWM flashing roms. Check Out My Port Of HellyBean Thats Slimmed Down, Pm Me And Tell Me Thanks If You Like Or What You Think I Should Change, If I Get Enough Requests For The Same Thing I Might Do It.http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...84&postcount=1

Yes I would do that to. Why do I need to update my sig? That link works. I still spend most of my time in CWM Flashing roms (mostly my versions though) .
Sounds like you've got a great rom here. The change log is GREATLY appreciated. Could you fill me in on the difference between "my v13" and devil v13 please. Do the "nightly 8/1 changes" apply to only the devil edition or your v13 as well? Thank you!

Most of the difference is the stuff that is removed from devils version in my version. There are some other differences, such as some build.prop changes, updater-script changes, gps changes and some other stuff. If you look at the first post it will show must of the stuff I removed.
PS I am working on CWM Flashable Zips to Restore All Apps I removed and then Individual Zips to restore just one app that you want or more than one. Also working on a flashable zip to restore media aka notifications, system sounds etc.

So in the second post, where it says "nightly 1/08/12 changes," do those changes apply to your v13 rom in the first post?

Yes they do, since his rom is my base that I improve more to my liking since I like a slimmer rom personally and dont use all the stuff I removed. He rom is an amazing rom and is perfect if you use all the stuff he includes.
quick question, if i am on Devil Edition V13 Aka 0801 Build, but want to try cbalt's V13 Release, does that require a wipe / factory reset? or could i just wipe cache and dalvik and flash?
pros - quick boot time, snappier than DerTeufel1980's V10 (rom which i was from), benchmarks show better scores than my previous rom (antutu, quadrant, linpack,nenamark,smartbench)
cons- not sure what you want to show in your bootanimation but i've seen better ones. changelog contains negativity. i don't know what happened between you and those 3 people but including rage in your rom does create some perceptions among users, at least me.
nonetheless, keep up the good work! with less anger perhaps

Was my first animation, haven't had time to create another one and improve on that one. If you don't like what I put in the changelog and don't like the rom, then don't install it. Simple as that. I make the rom primarily for me and share it to be nice.
Btw im not angry.
Updated OP-Included Folder with all removed files.
Wasn't sure which thread to post in:
Running Der Teufel version and only issue I'm noticing is SDCard not being mounted after a reboot. Have had to go into Settings -> Storage -> select Mount SDCard each time. This also causes my default ringtone/notification to show as "Unknown" and has to be reset.
Anyone else having similar issues?
