edit build.prop (unzip edit build.prop --> repack zip)

ro.telephony.network=4 to get CDMA running

TIP: If you use 7-Zip you can open the zip, go to /system, right click build.prop end select 'edit'. When you're done editing close and save. When you close 7-Zip it will ask you if you want to update the zip, click yes and your done! No need to unzip and repackage again! :D

Uploading new build.

- new kernel from ACL is default now.

Is that the only change? Is the rest the same as the previous build?

Hi upon using this ROM(4/16 build) on Rhod210, it works really fine, just have some few things not usual or maybe bugs,
1. When I'm trying to make a call the screen goes off and it will only wake-up by sliding out the keyboard.
2. The gallery app goes blurred if you rotate the device.
3. DSP manager force closes sometimes.

Other than that its working fine..

Can someone make a more clearer tut about this ROM installation?
I know how to install win roms and android roms on SD,but I never had to use any "ADB" tools or "fastboot".
Could anyone help me?

question

hello XDA masters I'm insterested on this nand develop because it looks close to full working version, so I decided install it and follow tutorials to get at least recovery working, the problem that i found is a loop rebooting if i left simcard pluged, ...so i removed it but then it starts init with ACL logo and i wait long time, it keeps the same(doesnt start) :(
I have a rhod400 hybrid but i use gsm on it.
So, help please!..... I like to contribute

*Hurk*... I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Everyone likes their own thing, but IMHO the tiles from WP7 are bleck! Glad to see you're still updating this tho :).

I don`t like native WP7 but the Launcher for Android is ok. Works good on our old Rhodium CPU.

The biggest problem for Android on Rhodium is battery drain during sleep. 100 mA / hour is to much. My Motorola Defy has 4-10 mA/h in sleep mode.

Holy cow that's a big difference. See my other post, I'd say that there's definitely some component that is enabled in collapse...

I will try with disabled sdcard. Maybe the sdcard controller did not go to sleep.

Did you tried to get working a 2.6.35 or 3.xx kernel? Xperia X1 use 2.6.35 for nand maybe you can port it to Rhodium. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1487169

ACL can you compile 2.6.27 kernel to run with ICS. Ramdisk need only a few changes. (bootclass) On X1 they get ICS working with updated kernel.

Hi Walter from Venezuela, we are some HTC TP2 R500 users, We are very grateful to this great work, since you have given more time to our phone life, this Nand ROM we have been testing and it works fine, it is true that drain too much battery when using the data service, we hope you continue in the struggle to achieve some improvement in this aspect, from Venezuela thank you very much

Low memory killer setting kernel test

I changed this in latest ACL kernel.

init.rc

original:

write /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree 2048,3072,4096,6144,7168,8192

new:

write /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree 1536,2048,2304,2560,2816,3072


Android start killing apps at 12Mb free ram. Old setting was 24Mb.

I change this because my rhodium has only 19Mb free after boot. Android should not try to free memory every time with this new setting.

Problem flashing

Hi everyone. I have a RHOD100 and i'm so excited to be able to flash android on it without the WM6 on it. Now the problem is that I did everything i needed to do, but i can't get any further than recovery, just because when i press power button on any of the options ("apply update from sd card" or "reboot system now" or any other option) it just shows the Recovery icon (that was in the background) a bit brighter and nothing else.

I did a Task29, and I did everything that was said in this tutorial http://code.google.com/p/rhodium-nand/wiki/NANDHOWTO but no luck.

please help.

    2. copy files from platform-tools.zip to Android-SDK/platform-tools/
    3. copy cwm_recovery_latest.img to Android-SDK/platform-tools/ (http://code.google.com/p/rhodium-nand/downloads/list)
    4. copy RHODIMG.NBH = ACLs LK for Rhodium to the root of your sdcard (http://code.google.com/p/rhodium-nand/downloads/list)

    12. install HTC android driver (htc android driver.zip)
    13. open windows shell (cmd)
    14. browse to /android-sdk/platform-tools

    Next steps are taken from ACLs install wiki:

    2. Fastboot erase boot
    3. Fastboot erase misc
    4. Fastboot erase system

    Reboot: (Or hit the reset button)

    In your CMD window type this command:
    1. Fastboot reboot

    Once LK is starting to load (Blue screen) press and hold the "POWER BUTTON" until you feel it vibrate(Top button). LK will let you know when it detected a press. Your recovery should load (If it not work unplug USB cable and reset your phone)

    To Navigate in Recovery you can use the Vol UP/DOWN(Move UP/DOWN), END Call Key(Enter/Select) or the keyboard arrows with the enter key.

    1. Select "apply update from sdcard".
    2. Select "CM7.2-xxx.zip" and wait for it to finish installing.

    Got a "new" touch pro2. Will update this cm7.2 build. But i will need some time for this.

    I hacked up a zip file that installs the kernel from the latest OMGB release as it has some new battery code. I though I would post it in case someone wants to play with it. The kernel will not work on the 3.x.x versions of this rom I suspect, but I was able to use it with the 2.6.x version. Also some gps libs I pulled from GBX. Not sure if they are newer than the ones in this rom, but there they are. No warranty or support for this is offered. It should be fine, but if your phone becomes Skynet after installing I take no responsibility.

    Information about 3.3.4 kernel build!

    - detule 3.3.4 (6) kernel
    - ramdisk modded to work with cm7.2
    - /lib/hw used from Xdandroid GBX0C nand
    - mediaprovider.apk form Xdandroid GBX0C nand (CM7.2 mediaprovider = FC)

    Happened again, I made a phone call, the screen went of when I raised the phone near my face, called finished and the screen never came on again, the phone was completely unresponsive. Left alone for a while. Nothing. As as I plugged in the USB cable it rebooted.

    Thing is, for me this issue is easy to replicate. It happens only on long calls (over 10 minutes give or take). On short calls I never experience this. But during long calls it happens each and every time.

    Posting last kmsg.

    Maybe less ram. You run some havy background apps. Try without whatsapp.
