There really isn't any special instructions, just flash it like you should with all ROM's. RSD SBF file, root it, setup OpenRecovery and after you install Open Recovery copy over the OR file with Mioze7Ae's special OR file and boot into OR, wipe all, flash the ROM and wipe everything again, Try this though, after flashing, power off before reboot and remove the battery for 2 minutes. Then power on. It probably won't help lol, just seen it somewhere. Good luck! It is still running great for me! Wish someone could help me with themechooser though.

1. fresh sbf, instal OR, root it, paste Mz OR, boot into OR, wipe all, restore this rom, wipe all again, reboot then bootloop.
2. then i tried fresh sbf, instal OR, root it, paste Mz OR, boot into OR, no wipe , restore rom, wipe all, reboot then bootloop.
3rd attemp fresh sbf, instal OR, root it, paste Mz OR, boot into OR, wipe all, restore rom, no wipe, reboot then bootloop.
4th fresh sbf, instal OR, root it, paste Mz OR, boot into OR, no wipe, restore rom, no wipe, reboot then bootloop again.
5th fresh sbf, instal OR, root it, paste Mz OR, boot into OR, wipe all, restore this rom, wipe all again, reboot then bootloop, turn off, remove sd card, turn on again still bootloop.

sometimes i saw lockscreen, try unlock it then bootlooop

Maybe you all are getting a corrupted file. Maybe tomorrow I will up my copy see what happens. going to bed now.

space4ace · Feb 26, 2012

Here's a quote from a thread in the general forum:

Mioze7Ae said:
IIRC there's a system.md5 in the nandroid. In that case, nandroid should not even try to install if the download was corrupted.

So I guess we're back to square one.

I was thinking that maybe, for some of us, installing from a backup of system in nandroid is not enough. Maybe something else needs to be replaced also.

I'm passing the bootloop but the more surprisingly, when you boot this ROM you don't actually go true wizard where you set your account, time, etc. but you start directly with GoUglyLauncher.... Then after some reboots it starts to tell you that your SD card is ****ed up. So annoying...

@Liberty What was the SBF you flashed before installing this ROM? Anyone tried it with Motoroi SBF plus included fix?

I used the CBW SBF. Here was the fix for the SDCard error

mchlbenner · Feb 26, 2012

hi
I found this v4 update.
it will fix sdcard error and gives it a regular cm7 look.

Inge2000 · Feb 26, 2012

Hi is there any screenshot for this rom ??? is this rom in anyway better than other roms ???

It's all based on opinion. It's a very good Ginger but the keyboard was far from user friendly.

My latest trials (and errors)

:

I tried flashing different sbf (CBW, UK, French, xt720mod) and still getting the bootloop.
I tried the v4 update (didn't think it would change anything but, you never know). It didn't change anything!!!

I will try the korean fix ( just to see).
I'm at a lost to understand why it works for some people and don't for others.

I'll report back if I figure anything good (or bad!).

Did anyone try re-downloading the file? Whats a good file site to use nowadays since the 4th reich is shutting everything down? I will upload mine...

mchlbenner · Feb 27, 2012

You can find this file in flfalcon archive files.

I need an expert's opinion on this.

As you might know already, I keep getting bootloops when running this rom. I sometimes see the lock screen and I even was able to unlock once and open the drawer before it rebooted again, and then bootloop etc. This only happens if I remove the sdcard and then boot. With the sdcard in... Nothing but bootloops. I tried 3 sdcards, same results. I repaired the sdcards too.

Can any other user make a nandroid back up of system.img and maybe boot.img or anything that could make me boot this and upload it as a trial? I don't want a full backup that includes your data or anything like that.
Does my request make any sense or maybe it just doesn't work that way?

In case you didn't figure this out yet; I'm a newbie! But I know how to flash sbf, install rom, updates, backup and restore.

Let me know what I could try next. I'm fresh out of ideas! Except for using a hammer... On my head, not the phone. I love that phone!

I tried to flash on Korean 44R (Eclair) Stock ROM.
It made my XT720 cannot boot

space4ace · Feb 28, 2012

rec0va: Did you use the korean_patch update that came with the ShenQi_V4 file?

modifying framework.jar works, but will be hassle to support ...

may be you can consider using the following approach ...

as MediaGalery and MotoCamera have in its AndroidManifest.xml reference to external "libraries"

Code:

<library name="com.motorola.aui" file="/system/framework/com.motorola.aui.jar"/> <library name="com.motorola.android.camera" file="/system/framework/com.motorola.android.camera.jar"/>

it will be easy to follow upstream, if you put the framework modifications is the above jars, instead of the framework (i have proof of concept that this works)

This way you want rely on decompiling framework, and putting all back together, e.g. it will be easy for you
Also if framework is odexed it can stay odexed

Then if everything is smooth, you just can "update" the upstream roms

From what I can tell this is based on fjfalcon's 2011-11-30 build and there are actually very, very minimal changes to the core framework (very similar to what we had been discussing in the other thread). I think the frameworks edits are already just about as minimal as possible.

Code:

$ diff -qr falcon/framework system/framework | sort
Files falcon/framework/android.policy.jar and system/framework/android.policy.jar differ
Files falcon/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar and system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar differ
Files falcon/framework/framework.jar and system/framework/framework.jar differ
Files falcon/framework/framework-res.apk and system/framework/framework-res.apk differ
Only in system/framework: com.motorola.android.camera.jar
Only in system/framework: com.motorola.android.mediasync.jar
Only in system/framework: com.motorola.aui.jar

Comparing the smali of android.policy.jar and framework.jar, this is what I find*:

Code:

Files falcon/framework/android.policy/com/android/internal/policy/impl/PhoneWindow.smali and system/framework/android.policy/com/android/internal/policy/impl/PhoneWindow.smali differ
Files falcon/framework/framework/android/hardware/Camera$EventHandler.smali and system/framework/framework/android/hardware/Camera$EventHandler.smali differ
Only in system/framework/framework/android/hardware: Camera$FaceDetectCallback.smali
Files falcon/framework/framework/android/hardware/Camera.smali and system/framework/framework/android/hardware/Camera.smali differ
Files falcon/framework/framework/android/view/KeyEvent.smali and system/framework/framework/android/view/KeyEvent.smali differ
Files falcon/framework/framework/com/android/internal/R$id.smali and system/framework/framework/com/android/internal/R$id.smali differ
Files falcon/framework/framework/com/android/internal/telephony/gsm/SmsMessage.smali and system/framework/framework/com/android/internal/telephony/gsm/SmsMessage.smali differ

Most of the changes are minor and should be easy/harmless to reverse to java and incorporate in the tree. The most intensive edit is to add the face detection callback.

Caveat: I have not even tried to install this ROM. I trust that it works for somebody, somewhere.

* To simplify the comparison, I preprocessed the baksmali of fjfalcon's 20111130 framework.jar and android.policy.jar using this:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

find falcon -type f -name \*.smali | while read x ; do
    grep -v '\.line ' $x \
	| grep -v '\.parameter' \
	| grep -v '\.prologue' \
	| grep -v '\.local ' \
	| grep -v '\.end local ' \
	| grep -v '\.restart local ' \
	> tmp
    mv tmp $x
done

about bootloop

I had successfully updated from kang 7.2 to this ROM with no boot loops (switched 3/4 times between both roms).
But after i copied the framework-res file into system/framework attached in the first post,the screen went black and now i am also getting boot loops from lock-screen.After restoring my backup while Switching back to this rom again its getting bootloops even after wiping all(cache,userdata).
