Note for people updating their existing system:
/!\ Make sure to do a backup in any case (titanium backup seems to work well)

if you are using [r167] from google page:

No need to format your SD card or delete apps or whatever:
Copy everything from archive exept system.ext2 at root of your sdcard, run haret as usual and you are good to go!

if you are using [10/07/2011 r134++] from google page:

Lucky you, you dont need to format your SD card or delete apps or whatever:
Copy everything from archive exept system.ext2 at root of your sdcard, run haret as usual and you are good to go!

if you are using munjeni release:

you can try to do the same: overwrite everything exept system.ext2, run haret and see if it still works

if your android is not working well after partial update:

then you will have to do a clean upgrade (delete all and copy). use a backup program (titanium or other) and enjoy!

BTW in last munjeni`s releases, and in cm6 from derefas I was able to copy files in simple Explorer, or Total Commander...

I want to confirm with this release Speed is better, battery is better,

but, there is something I want to report

1. Camera work with snapshot, however there s not button to capture so we must long press for camera to auto focus and capture. A button on screen to capture is a must

(the message is "press the optical trackball to capture with I know there s no trackball for our photon)

2. Problem is similar for video capturing, however It s more severe because there s no way to capture video with long press

3. Youtube still not work correctly, I hear the sound but there is no image and after that I can not turn the sound off even youtube has been force close.

4. Advertising issue, most custom android has a good host file to prevent ad, I attached a good host file here and it prevent 99% ad we get on android, that help apps run faster

R 169

Really good release thanks to all developers who are working on it. It's really useable. Android running really smooth I think it's faster than previous releases. Also second boot was fast about ~ 25 seconds.

3G/EDGE/GPRS: Working (Very stable.)
Battery: Working (Consuption is between 3-10 mA in suspend mode.)
Boot Animation: Beatiful
Camera: Working
GPS: Working (Also change of GPS zone for faster GPS tracking.)
Time: Working (I didn't notice any shifts after 3 hours of using. Even in sleep mode no shifts.)
G sensor: Working
L Sensor: Working
Touch Screen: Working
USB: Working (Through Droid Explorer.)

Other stuff like Charging and Wi-Fi I'll try later.

First boot...successfull (with or without sim)

schlund · Aug 27, 2011

Hi there,

Everything is working fine; great job!!! Owesome.

But.... the only thing is that 3G is still nog working. After the fix (and before) it says that the com.android.phone process is unexpectically stopt.
Giving in a pin will result in functioning only for a few seconds and than again the same issue.

Do you have a solution Robin?

Thanks a lot!
