ledoweb said:Hi everyone here, using some of these ports from a few days now but only today I finally got more than 10 posts!
Anyway, I have only a minor question: the last version I tried before the name became "Evervolv" was number 11 (i think ) - if I correctly understood, there was a sort of hack to bring a reduced HW acceleration to the GUI. On my nexus one, all backgrounds were a sort of "black to blue fade". Now that something changed (I didn't actually understood if HW Accel. has been removed completely, waiting for a new kernel), all backgrounds are plain black.
I mean...is it possible that Android dinamically changes between this fade effect and a lighter (on resources) black when detecting that HW accel. for the GUI is either active or not?
@Bexton: a lot of pages ago you posted some edits you did to build.prop. One string (I don't remember which one exactly) was described by you like "this activates HW accel. for GUI elements". Well, I tried to add that string in all versions up to Evervolv p4, and no blue fades came up, meaning that... my thoughts about these backgrounds are completely wrong, or that maybe GUI isn't HW accel. this way!
I think your Bootloader isn't unlocked yet.
Do you see an unlocked lock under the colourful "X" sign, while booting up?
If not, than you'll need to unlock your Bootloader first.
Also, don't mind not seeing it after flashing BlackRose, because it's still unlocked after installing it.
HI AllHi Gurus
My apologies if my message bothers you as i am totally new to upgrading the rom.
Being user of Nexus one and knowing its not getting an upgrade to Android 4 lead me
to find a way to upgrade to ICS Andriod 4. But i am totally unaware of the steps how
to do it.
If you please dont mind and help me in this i will be much much obliged and million thanks
Regards
heavenboy, please read OP, all the instructions are there
ThanksInstall Blackrose through an adb connection your computer.
After unlocking the phone you see s-off in the booatloader.
Next step is to flash a hboot with the new partitions for ICS.
Now you need to partition your sd card to ext 3 or ext 4, can be done with clockworkmod.
After you have done this you can install the ICS rom. ( ofcourse after wiping your nexus one for 3 times )
After startup you need to install a2sd in the terminal emulator.
All the words used here can be found on these forums with long guides. Follow these steps.
Wish you the best of luck
does anyone know how to get to run the installer of blackrose on ubuntu?
chmod 755 BlackRose
./BlackRose
Download latest blackrose zip
Code:chmod 755 BlackRose ./Blackrose
ps: not the BlackRose.exe just BlackRose
Thanks
One more thing if you can give me the link of the latest ICS rom
please don't mind as i am totally new in this
Working here... try wiping maps' data with TB?This has probably been raised and solved (or it just maybe my device) but I'm lazy to search
On p4 when using google maps or navigation my gps turns on and tries to lock on. It seems that as soon as it locks onto a satellite, my phone crashes and needs a battery pull to restart. Anyone having the same?

Short FAQ
- Q:Screen wont come back on, the buttons light up but i have no screen?!
A: Try taking out your sdcard. If it works you need to reformat your sdcard and whatever you do dont use clockworkmod!- Q: Im getting lockups and have to pull the battery to restart?
A: Easiest way that seems to do the trick: Goto: Evervolv Toolbox -> Performance -> Processor -> change Min Freq to 384Mhz
A: Or: change the governor from ondemand to smartassv2
