TEMPLATE UPDATE.ZIP (v1)



[ older versions ]







cheers!

reserved for later

sure to more than one is interested, at least not because I use ami gsm, a health

Can't wait to see a CM7 compatible version of the CDMA kernel. Keep up the awesome work!

Sent from my R800x

I will definitely test this when I get home from work tonight.

Sent from my R800x using XDA App

well i flashed it and its been on the kernel load screen for like 5 minutes now doubting its going to boot ill let it sit for 10 minutes and post an update

and before anyone asks i have an r800x on 2.3.3 from OTA update so that means i have the right fw right?


*update* got sick of looking at the really cool grim reaper android and flashed the 1.6ghz version saddly it appears this may not boot either

*update 2* no luck with the 1.6 ghz version either flashed back to v3 of your gsm kernel where i have everything but wifi

I also get stuck at the splash screen with the GrimDroid. The recovery is working and I really like the new red recovery text. I just pulled the battery and powered back on and still stuck at GrimDroid. I tried the 1.6GHz one on verizon 2.3.3 firmware. I don't think it would make a difference for me to flash the 3.0.1.A.0.145 firmware because I am not even getting to the boot animation.

EDIT: BTW, here is the verizon stock wifi module from 2.3.3 3.0.1.E.0.88 firmware. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/35097081/bcm4329.ko

this version booted up on my R800i so i think it will (hopefully) work on R800x


i am using older ramdisk from my .468 FW GSM kernel



please test and let me know asap!

Boots and as far as i can tell everything works perfectly thank you soo much for this doom finally have wifi and a camera. only complaints not using grimdroid splash screen and soo many I/O schedulers and governors idk what one to choose anymore lol.

Curious about this. About to try it on 007s modified UK rom.

Also, yeah. What is the best combination for i/o and governor. Just flashed it, camera and wifi seem to work ok, and chose noop i/o, and lagfee governor to test first.
