I know its odd to say the least. When it works everything rotates except the desktop. When it does not work - it flat out does not work. Not sure what is changing - for the hell of it i replaced the existing zimage and tar file from the original full download from 1st post. It works fine upon 1st boot but later boot the issue happens.

That startup.txt looks good. Couple of things you can try - first, I would remove the OC just to rule that out (my phone rotates no problem overclocked tho.)

Second, you know that the default launcher doesn't rotate (you seem to, just want to make sure). If you'd like the phone to rotate on the home screen, get an aftermarket launcher that supports it like ADW.

Third, if all else fails... I'd like to take a peek at what's happening in your logs. So get a log of the phone rotating properly/successfully, and get another set after you try to rotate and it fails. I'm honestly not sure what debugging info the g-sensor puts in the logs, but let's hope there's something.

Do you notice the phone running sluggish in general when it refuses to rotate...? How long do you wait? I wonder if it's just a perception thing. It only appears to not be working, when in fact the phone is just bogged down and the last thing it feels like doing is rotating :p.

U mean rename android vending?

No, the data.img... Please quote posts so I know what you're talking about, thanks.

Sounds to me like you have BT on in WinMo.

Did you completely miss my post?

First off, please use kernels from the autobuild service while we triage this issue.

Second, read my post please. Thanks.

Hi all,

I am trying this build and seems fine. The only problem I have is with the keyboard, where I cannot change the language. I have a rhodium 100 with a Greek keyboard, but the language selection button does not work, and I can only enter English characters.
Is there a hope for fixing this?

YES!

On TP2, RHOD 400, Boost Mobile.
Working great! Internet's finally up, calls work, headphone jack...finally, this phone's worth my while. An infinite amount of thanks. I can hardly begin to appreciate the effort put into this, but here's a start.

Hi, okey, now i try replace kernel for your post:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14519408&postcount=1
"3. Download the kernel from the .39 (autobuild service), replace as you normally would, and boot!"

Ok, now after Android boot, my recharge LED not still flashing. But, all my four buttons, still flashing when PDA is "Online". After standBy, button was off flashing.

How i fix this? :/ Android FROYO is super, stable, not restart PDA, but still i think quickly battery off because 4buttons still flashing. :/

Thanks :)

Can you at least rename it to see if that does resolve the issue...?

I guess you could try the fix_permissions script (google it, it's a CM thing).


So I tried the script but it doesn't download. Found it in a wiki http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=CyanogenMod#Downloads

I used an older one http://modmymobile.com/forums/567-motorola-backflip-general/556261-fix_permissions-script.html but it gave me a syntax error

I guess I will keep looking just giving u an update. ;)

Why are you using .39!?!

I would not recommend that kernel, unless you know what you're getting into (example, did you modify the build so the new acoustic libs were used...?) Use .27 kernel's please.

Meh, you know a new data.img will fix your issue... Titanium Backup makes this "solution" a lot less painful...

Yeah i mean when i renamed it it still gave me the problem. But yeah I will just start over. I did notice there was an app to do it the premissions (but u pick the apps indiviually) but of course I can't download since it crashes. But yeah I will just use titanium and go fresh.

So on a fresh data.img (no restores from TB or any other apps, basically a clean/new build) you still get that crash when installing an app from the Market? That seems... odd to say in the least. Did you do the new Market trick or something funky...?

Nah just renamed it. Also I was going to back up with Titanium but it says I don't have root access. Weird!

Make sure you're on the newest rootfs.

Also, sometimes the SU app doesn't prompt in time. Not sure why, but if you try a few times it should prompt for SU and grant rights.

Phone resets

I've noticed that FRX07 has had many more resets (into winmo) then FRX06 ever did. FRX06 was stable in that regard.

I have noticed the sleep problems have been fixed, though.

The resets, i'm thinking, have something to do with the new RIL. The reason I say this is, for a week when I was out of country, I turned the phone radio off (leaving on wifi), and had 0 resets.

Now that I'm back, the resets are more frequent, if erratic. I looked through the logs generated in dropbox, and there is no event that indicates what caused the reset: it looks like regular operation before the reset, and then the normal boot sequence.

Any ideas? I'm wondering what to pick between stability and battery (sleep)...

I think the issues are actually iowait related. Have you tried adjusting your cache settings on the SD card? I swear that change to 2048kb wreaks havoc on certain cards.

Download the "SD Booster" app and change the value to 256kb. See if it's better. Be warned, this app only changes the value on-the-fly. It does not change it permanently (so a reboot will cause it to go back to 2048kb.)

    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.
    14
    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. See Detule's post on this topic.
    • 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
    13
    Yay! No more "when is FRX07 coming out?" posts!

    And to that effect, I would like to personally apologize to everyone for how long it took. Life has been crazy busy the past couple months. Hopefully we'll get GRX01 out in a more timely manner. :D
    11
    Caveats:

    • BT - works now! 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...
      NOTE: BT must be disabled in WinMo before booting Android or else you'll run into all sorts of odd issues...
    • WEP on wifi doesn't work. I heard an app called 'wifi-ace' (on the Market) fixes WEP!
    • If auto-brightness is enabled, the keyboard/button lights will fail at random. See this post for more scant details :p.
