FRX07.1 is here!!

This is a maintenance release - basically taking the newest components to make a completely up-to-date (as of Sept. 1).

Quite a lot has changed since FRX06 - the install process hasn't really, but be sure to read the changelog in the next post and the caveats in post #3!

<<<This is a link to the... FAQ Click it!!>>>​

I have created a complete bundle of FroYo with a stable kernel from GIT (August 19 / 1348), and rootfs from GIT (Sept. 2).

Please, feel free to DONATE to the XDAndroid project!

Every little bit helps!

Directions:

1. Download the full bundle (zip). (Updated September 1 2011)

If instead you just want the system.ext2 (zip) (Updated July 15 2011) file by itself... Don't download this if you're not sure! Grab the full bundle!

2. Extract it. You’ll see a folder, FRX07.1, copy its contents to the root of your SD card. If you want to run Android from a folder instead of all the files on the root of the card, follow the steps below.

3. Go into the STARTUPS folder. Grab the appropriate startup.txt for your device (if you don't know what device you have, you should read the FAQ), and move it to the root of the card (or where you run haret.exe from. If you want to change the location of the build, put a rel_path= statement in the cmdline section of the startup.txt. Mine is located two folders deep on the SD, so my rel_path=Androids/TP2Ref)

4. Screen calibration - you have three choices:
  • Re-use an old ts-calibration file if you have it and you know it's good.
  • Download the ts-calibration.zip file and extract it to where you put the rest of the files (root of SD or in a folder - make sure it all stays together!)
  • Manually calibrate - boot with no ts-calibration file and watch the boot process - you'll be asked to hit 5 points to calibrate the screen. If you have issues calibrating, try an older kernel (1225 works well) Once you have the calibration file hold on to it (make 15 copies if it's a good one :p), reboot & go back to the newest kernel!

6. Run haret.exe.. Profit! :D

Let it settle out on the first boot. Many have reported they had to reboot basically because it was so slow - if you let it sit for about 10 mins so the media scanner can go thru everything, etc. it will be much more pleasurable experience. If you want adb in and watch the processes via top, you'll see why the phone seems so slow - there's lots of background processes cranking because this is the first boot ;).

Troubleshooting:
Please read the... FAQ
If you have any issues with the kernel, feel free to change it:
There are some devices that are having issues with the newest kernels. Please see the kernel autobuild service to get archived kernels. Once you download a replacement kernel, go to where you run haret.exe from - remove your old zImage/modules-xxxxx.tar.gz. Take the new zImage/modules-xxxxx.tar.gz and replace the old ones, same folder - where you run haret.exe from. Make sure the ‘zImage’ is named just that. Do not rename the modules file, do not extract it - should be in .tar.gz format.

See Incremental Updates for more information on updating the kernel and other components.

Random issues can often be solved by forcing the system to create a new data.img. If you're worried about losing data (all user data is stored in the data.img!!), Titanium Backup works quite well. If you wish, you can rename the data.img to something else, and let the system create a new one - just to see if it resolves your problem.

Similarly, if you wish try formatting your SD card - I prefer to use the HP Tool - do a full format, FAT32.

Even though this build is considered fairly stable, you are more than likely going to run into issues. The next post will address issues particular to this build - PLEASE READ THESE before asking questions! Feel free to post questions in this thread, I will do my best to address them. Big thanks to stinebd for releasing the system image, and of course the other developers for their hard work on making these kernels available.

stinebd's Changelog:


stinebd said:
Here’s a new release for you, folks. This is a major release with a ton of changes, new features, and fixes. Our friend hyc/highlandsun did most of the heavy lifting for this release. Highlights include a rewritten RIL with support for world phones and greatly improved CDMA support; fixes for the media codecs; fixes for MMS on Sprint; increased security with the Superuser app.

A list of changes is included below. The FRX07 system image is available for download now, and will require the use of a new rootfs image, also available now. Additionally, we have a new bundle containing everything needed to enjoy a full FRX07 system.

Note: Due to the incredibly long list of changes, this is a somewhat condensed, terse changelog describing only the overall scope of the changes.

FRX07:
  • frameworks/base:
    • Major frameworks changes for CDMA/GSM dual-mode worldphone support. (hyc)
    • Fixes for data connection handling to improve startup time. (hyc)
    • Fixes for wifi handling to avoid issues on hanged drivers. (hyc)
    • Stagefreight (media codecs) fixes. (hyc/viruscrazy)
    • Fixes for Sprint’s wonky MMS markup structure. (hyc)
    • Fix MediaScanner not finding audio files (including ringtones) in system.ext2
  • hardware/libhardware_legacy:
    • Minor GPS driver fixes. (Alex[sp3dev])
    • Rename wifi interfaces to wlan0 on all devices (hyc)
  • hardware/xdandroid-ril: Major RIL refactoring for improved performance on all devices, and added CDMA/GSM dual-mode worldphone support. (hyc)
  • packages/apps/Gallery3D: Switched back to Gallery3D as the gallery app (closes bug #111)
  • packages/apps/Mms: Fixes for Sprint’s wonky MMS markup structure. (hyc)
  • packages/apps/Phone: Fixes for CDMA/GSM dual-mode worldphone support. (hyc)
  • packages/apps/Superuser: Added the Superuser package for authorizing su privileges. This, along with our signed builds, provides greatly increased security for the end user (mostly against malicious apps from the Market).
  • system/extras/su: Added as a dependency for the Superuser package
  • vendor/qcom/android-open: Include missing stagefright codec symbols. (hyc/viruscrazy)

To coincide with the FRX07 system image, the following rootfs changes have been made:
  • init.froyo.rc modifications...
    • Adjust wpa_supplicant service for the new abstraction provided by libhardware_legacy, as well as interface rename
    • Abstract the hciattach service to provide bluetooth support on both chipsets
  • Rename wifi interface to wlan0 on all devices
  • apns-conf.xml updated
  • keymaps completely reorganized, and RHOD end-call key has been remapped to be the Home key in Android.
  • default.prop: set ro.secure=1 to lock down the adb shell - su can be used with the Superuser app to authorize root access in adb if needed.

Layman's Changelog​

(As in, the changelog I wrote :p)​

FRX07.1 Changelog:

  • RHOD - all buttons on the front no longer wake the device. Only the power button wakes the device now.
  • Updated to the newest RIL
  • hyc's modified libs for video now baked in - *most* HQ YouTube videos (and other HQ videos) should finally work!
  • RHOD & TOPA - Userland (Android) now controls the LED by default now. If you need to debug sleep, you will have to change the behavior manually.
  • Facebook sync should now work, out-of-box.

FRX07 Changelog:
  • Updated RIL (thanks hyc!) - this covers many different bugs that were in the old RIL - I'm only going to cover the major ones...
    • CDMA now works correctly (for the most part). force_cdma (and north_am_dialing) is now deprecated (not needed/ignored!)
    • You can boot with a SIM in on a CDMA device and choose your GSM or CDMA on the fly under Settings.
    • Location based on towers now works on CDMA.
    • 1xRTT now displays correctly, but I never seem to get EVDO Rev.a... I always get 0. This is represented by a 3g icon, as this is what the Android framework provides.
    • Full MMS support! Please see this page for configuration instructions. Will need help fleshing out the list of carriers folks!
    • Spotty service, switching towers, etc should no longer cause the dreaded SoD (Sleep of Death) condition!
  • (Basic audio) 3.5mm support for RHOD400/500
  • Droidwall works out of the box now
  • Keyboard backlight now fades in/out
  • Gallery3D back in! Picasa Web Sync comes with it ;)
  • A couple new apps added to AndroidApps folder:
    • rpierce99's app GetLogs
    • Titanium Backup

Caveats:

  • BT - works! But audio doesn't route. See this thread if you're feeling adventurous and want to play with/don't mind using some unstable/incomplete code...

That audio routing thread is in the RHOD section, and I've only tested it on a RHOD - but AFAIK it should work on other devices. Let me know.

Initial boot (no SIM)

Very nice! Just upgraded/updated new data.img to include grabbing the new kernel package (1340), rootfs and system files! I haven't tried anything that accesses data yet (ran it with no SIM) but FRX07 seems very stable on the RAPH100. However, it took a tad longer than what I'm used to on initial boot. Going to format and try with no androidapps folder and no media folder and see if that's what cuts down the initial boot. All in all awesome job... but something tells me you already knew that... :D :rolleyes:

What phone? Have you set the phone to be on GSM mode in Android...?

i'm using Ral, i installed FRX06 last week and everything was ok w/o any setting. But now with FRX07 ... :(

i re-run Haret from WinMo but it hang up with command "(something): read retry", so i thought that my SDcard maybe corrupt. Just re-formated and re-run Haret.
it stopped/paused too long with command: "htc_cable_notify_do_work: 0"
and now, it's hanging up completely with "r5:00000000 r4:00000000"

what'd i do :(
tks

Please try what was asked in the previous post and report your findings. The change logs in the first few posts make mention of a framework change. Meaning FRX07 might require some additional setting changes, depending on your phone/device...
By the way, what's a Ral? I have a RAPH100 and a RAPH110, which one do you have?

Well done with this build! It seems that the WiFi Turn Off- Turn On - Doesn't work anymore bug is gone :D (for my RAPH100).

LE: And it seems that the clock network sync bug is gone, too.

First of all, great work on this guys! I've been waiting for quite a while and this release works great on my RHOD400.

Onto my feedback for the RAPH800...

I can't boot the kernel that's bundled with the 7/16 release.
It boots with endless repeat of "OOPS - smd_tty buffer mismatch"

I went back through a few kernels from the build page. Each of the following builds boot with the same error

htc-msm-linux @ 20110716_005117
htc-msm-linux @ 20110711_082424
htc-msm-linux @ 20110627_223755

When I got to this build:
htc-msm-linux @ 20110622_180615
The boot froze for a while (~30 minutes) and I finally reset the device. It booted fine after the reboot.

I'm not sure if this information helps at all, but I hope it helps in pinpointing a problem what changed over this range of builds.

Again, thanks so much. I'm looking forward to testing FRX07! I'm thinking I'll be able to use it daily on my RHOD!

Superuser permissions, heck yeah! That's been one of the more annoying things about xdandroid; some apps just don't like how it does root, which I suspect might have something to do with the lack of the aforementioned app. Plus, it's just not safe having su be autoconfirmed. I appreciate it.

Can fellow Raph100 owners verify if the physical keyboard lights are always on in closed position? When drawn, the lights goes off which is the reverse of how it should function. The LCD panel doesn't turn off fully as well, it's lit slightly.

Otherwise, it's a good stable build. No SOD's yet with the stock kernel. The device is not warm on standby as well compared to the previous build installed. DroidWall works out of the box without the usual tweak as well.

Thanks & kudos!

I can't get my RAPH800 to boot at all! Might be a deeper issue with the device tho. Your info does help, I needed someone to narrow down when the issue first started. Thanks!
