DT boot image causes wifi error with new rom 05b

dandrumheller said:
I just swapped to this ROM from a recent CM7 nightly (39 I think...I was getting ok batt. life initially on it, but it continues to get worse. I was not running the flashable gps lib revert, so I'm not sure what was causing my problem there).

At any rate, I have DT a2sd running on this rom. Here are the steps I used to get here:

1) Download ROM zip from first post in this thread to linux PC: http://hoxnet.com/droid/hoxnet_liberated_hfr003b.zip

2) Download modified boot.img zip file attached to post #246 of this thread to linux PC:

3) Extract modified boot.img from zip onto PC

4) Open (do not extract) ROM downloaded in step 1 with archive manager on PC

5) Use archive manager "add file to archive" tool on PC to import the modified boot.img file you extracted to the ROM

6) Download DT a2sd newest beta to PC: http://www.darktremor.info/files/a2s...a04-signed.zip

7) Copy ROM file (already modified with updated boot.img) and the DT a2sd file downloaded in step 6 to the root of your SD card for your device

8) Boot into recovery and make a NANDROID backup of whatever you were running before

9) wipe data/factory reset; wipe cache partition; advanced>wipe dalvik cache

10) choose install zip from sd, and flash the modified ROM image you just made

11) now flash the DT a2sd file you just downloaded - it will run through and say it is installed.

12) now flash the DT a2sd file AGAIN. It iwill run through the process again. (this is a trick I learned using it on CM7 early builds before s2e was around)

13) reboot device. Here's where it gets a little scary, the reboot process is very weird...mine went like this: white HTC screen for 1 minute or so (maybe less). then a vibe/reboot to white HTC screen again. this second one lasted maybe 2-3 minutes (I thought I had a boot failure and was about to pull the battery). this long HTC screen was followed by another vibe/reboot. Back to white HTC screen for a third time. This one also lasted about 1 minute, then I got the normal bootsplash with Gene's Aria Liberated message.

I am just now in the process of re-installing all my apps, so we will see how storage space goes. My experience of going from CM6 to CM7 is that Gingerbread seems to be more efficient at dumping apps to ext. partitions on SD than froyo is (no one has been able to explain why to me, and I have no clue) but with the same app load using apps to ext, I had about 25MB internal storage free on CM6, and about 45MB free internal on CM7 (with the same initial available space when clean)

One other thing to mention: I switched to using DT's beta 4 at the same time I went to CM7 - I never had to do the double flash with beta 2 or 3 on CM6, so you might want to try beta 3 instead. I just happened to have 4 handy.


Anyway, sorry for the long post guys, but it seems some people are having trouble with a2sd on this ROM.

I used the above procedure (using a Linux computer) to replace the boot image in the latest ROM version 05b. Upon flashing, phone boots fine, but Wifi displays "error" as status and doesn't work at all!

I tried rebooting phone and reflashing (I checked the md5sum to be sure) and same problem. Wifi worked well when I didn't substitute the boot image in the ROM.

OK, I finally got a modified framework-res.apk to work. All I did was change the text color in the new TextView filed of status_bar.xml to color red (#FFFF0000) and reinstall. It changed the message "No SIM card" to red, but when I rebooted with a valid sim card, the ATT dropdown still shows up and in the same color text (white on black) so this approach is barking up the wrong tree.

I have some strange information from my test.

Officially made the switch from CM7 to this. It finally has trackpad wake, and is way faster than gingerbread. Thanks gene.

Same results here for me (although done on a Win7 computer with 7-zip). Any ideas on how to get this to work?.

It would be super awesome if DT-A2SD 2.5.7.2-1 (last stable version) was built-in to the ROM, but disabled by default. My only other wishlist item would be to add support for ext4, and of course get rid of the annoying AT&T dropdown.

Thanks for keeping this alive.

Download handcent from the market. It allows you to set the message limit and much more. I waited until last week to try it, but I should have just downloaded it before like everyone else. It's a really great messaging app, you wont regret it.

Has anyone tried the Netflix app on this ROM? I tried it and it works except for the video streaming. Is anyone having success this this rom?

Saw a couple posts on lifehacker and engadget today about editing build.prop to get streaming working on unsupported devices...don't have the links handy but a google search should find them. I have not tried the app on this rom, but I have it working on CM7 (minus the streaming as I haven't tried the build.prop edit myself yet)

I tried editing the build.prop. THe app will install without needing to edit it, but won't play anything. It tries to load a video and fails and falls back to the main screen in the netflix app.

From what I can see, it works with attn1's FR008 ROM and CM7. I wonder if there is a simple fix for this playback issue.

Anyone want to wipe and install fresh to see if it works then?

I got the Netflix app to work. It fails the first time, but when it immediately goes back to the main screen and I click on the same video, it plays almost instantly.

Unrelated, but can we disable the 300 kb ringtone limit? Then again, I think getting rid of the annoying att notification should get first priority.

EDIT: Good call on Astro. GP should replace file system with Astro like with FR008.

    Liberated Aria 2.2.2 final

    This is a moderately modified version of the stock HTC Aria AT&T Android 2.2.2 ROM. It has root, busybox, ro.secure=0 and some nice root utils (Superuser, etc.) and the stupid AT&T bloat has been removed. It also features a kernel that supports overclocking and has a few other tweaks to make it more efficient. This is a great rooted replacement for the stock ROM if you like HTC Sense, otherwise, Cyanogen has a very good CM7 version for the aria. You might like that better.

    At this point in time, it is unlikely that HTC will offer any official updates for Aria. I consider Aria orphaned by HTC and this is probably going to be my last "Liberated" update for the Aria unless some bugs are found in this release.

    [update] 11-Jan-2012: No CIQ in this ROM.

    MD5: 9f94eabd90d08563397bb26d95a859d0

    Copy this to your SDCard and install via recovery. All caveats apply: backup with nandroid and titanium first. Delete cache and dalvik. Should install fine over existing data partitions, but it never hurts to have a titanium backup of your market apps to be sure.

    Some users are having issues with installing this over an existing FR008 or R012. I have tried it several ways and it has worked for me, but if you get a boot loop, then you will probably have to do a data wipe to get this to work. If you must wipe data, you can use Market apps like MyBackup, Titanium Backup or Astro to backup all your apps to minimize the fallout from a data wipe.

    Slight misunderstanding.
    I was saying that what I was experiencing corroborates your post here:

    Coming from CM7, I made sure to wipe everything--even did it all 2x b/c of the USB cable thing--and "untrusted sources" and Wireless Tether were options upon first boot! I was aware of the settings patch and the APN thing, but didn't need either.

    I should have been clearer about the FCs. They were only on Google Apps, and I now realized, directly as a result of flashing Gapps.

    So, something is going on and it can't just be user error. I know all 3 of us have flashed more than a few ROMs and know how to wipe properly.

    I'm still confused. What IS happening and what are you expecting to happen?

    My first posting of a "liberated" ROM based on HTC 2.2.2 RUU (hoxnet_liberated_hfr001b.zip) was not really anything but a "stock" version that could be applied without the new HBOOT that renders your phone unrootable.

    The second (hoxnet_liberated_hfr002b.zip), was more in the "liberated" tradition of ATTN1 whereby AT$T bloat was removed, Settings.apk and framework-res.apk were patched so that tethering and sideloading were supported.

    Both would install over existing R012 and/or FR008 or from a clean wipe (but not any of the CM ROMs apparently). If installed over an existing version, all settings and apps are retained. If installed from a clean wipe, 001b would install just like the stock AT$T with sideloading disabled and tethering gimped whereas 002b would "liberate" these options. In the case of 002b, it was found that the Settings.apk fix caused problems with the wifi settings and so I added the patch to replace it with the original Settings.apk. I kept the 002b and the setting patch separate so that one could still install 002b on a data-wiped device and get the "liberated" features, then install the patch to fix the wifi issues. You retain ALL the "liberated" features after installing the settings patch.

    With luck, I should be able to work out a 003b sometime that has all the "liberated" functionality but doesn't require the multiple steps.

    So if there's any confusion, here's the steps to install this:

    1. Upgrading from R012, FR008, or stock rooted 2.1:

    a. boot to clockwork recovery
    b. Install hoxnet_liberated_hfr002b.zip
    c. while still in clockwork, install update_settings_apk_222.zip
    d. reboot and have fun.
    ​
    2. From a complete data wipe:

    a. boot to clockwork recovery
    b. Install hoxnet_liberated_hfr002b.zip
    c. reboot phone and follow all steps in the setup wizard.
    d. reboot to recovery.
    e. install update_settings_apk_222.zip
    f. reboot and have fun.
    ​

    Edit: updated the first post with this information as well.
