[BUILD] **Complete FroYo Bundle** FRX07.1 - Maintenance Release
- Thread starter arrrghhh
- Start date
Make sure you're on the newest kernel. Might also be a good idea to update to the newest rootfs. See the first post, cheers.
i agree - same issue i had - update and it worked fine for me! (i did eventually apply all the updates from the xdandroid site)
i applyed everythin new kernels and new rootfs and after 3 times booting it works......everything seems to work fine but still there is an issue with the battery life (but better than before) and with the wifi it loses the signal some times !! Still now everything works good and smooth!
Wifi is... wifi. It's not consistent.
Battery life, there's many reasons battery life isn't so good. Hopefully it'll improve in time, but will need some one with a Blackstone, some kernel development knowledge, and a lot of time
.You're using FRX07 with the newest kernel & rootfs?
What do you have in your startup.txt?
Has any Android build worked?
Have you tried rebooting?
Hi,
Yes, I used FRX07 from #1 post and try this kernel first (htc-msm-linux @ 20110819_183957), then this one (htc-msm-linux @ 20110718_223029) from the same post.
My startup.txt look like:
I used Android on my HTC, but not remember whitch one B4 yesterday when I format my SD card.
I try reboot phone, but not help.
Any idea what wrong?
Many thanks 4 Ur help
PS.: I used Android 2.1 (Eclair) B4...

Hrm, everything looks fine here.
This is a GSM Blackstone? I thought that was the only type... Which BLAC? Are there even revisions of that device, or is it all BLAC100?
Have you tried looking in the phone menu? Wireless&Networks, make sure you're not in airplane mode or anything like that...?
I'm honestly not sure what would cause a simple no service issue.
Yes
Yeah, phone menu look OK, but I can't open Wireless&Networks, and airplane mode is off.
M2, I have 1st time problem like this.
Can you explain what you mean by "can't open Wireless&Networks"? That's not normal.
So you've run other Android versions OK? I'm not sure what other builds have for a RIL, that might be the culprit - but other Blackstone users use this new RIL without issues.
Have you tried the standard, annoying troubleshooting?
Reboot, try again.
Delete data.img, try again.
Format card, try again.
Format card, start completely fresh (don't reuse anything), try again.
Not the best methods for triaging issues, but I'm not sure what could've gone awry that would cause a no service condition.
Hrm, just had an idea - try a new radio firmware. Make sure you're on the newest radio firmware available for your device. I have a RHOD that's CDMA, so I can't really help here
.None of our releases would 'autoboot' at startup. Gen.Y helps fake an autoboot feature at startup. This is an unsupported app, as it's a piece of WinMo software. Please post questions about that program in that thread.
Hi,
My ROM date is 02/12/10, Radio version: 1.17.25.09
I try run another Android, GBX0A and WiFi, camera and GSM work well, but when I try plug on to charger, screen freeze and need reboot again.
Hi there!
Thank you Arrrghhh for your Blackstone Froyo build!
I've just tested on my old Blackstone and it works great! I don't have try a lot of thing at the moment. I've just saw that LED notifications don't work.
If needed, I can make some tests.

Why I do not know as I copied the application The android on the card 4GB and I later put the 8GB card from WM and different my applications, then the Android found oneself on the card 8GB. I wondered the capacity of the card why she decreased from 8 on 4GB, The android found oneself on her and she was occupied in 90% I could not regain the application for WM.
I made the format SD of the card and I regained full her capacity, however all data and programs was lost I managed to save only telephone contacts and copied on SIM card. I did hard reset of the telephone and again copied the Android on the card. My Blackstone is fresh now and Android runs from first boot time. All works towards my surprise now!
Thank you for your hard work, I go now to test the new Android.
Ps.: sorry all for my bad language
no idea why but my phone doesnt seem to be working anymore...
was working fine for a week or two - but yesterday and today when i get a phone call I can answer, the other person can hear me - but I don't get any sound at all.
anyone else experienced that? or do i just need to reinstall again?
cheers
edit: just trying updating kernel and rootfs as i noticed theres an update from the version i have on
edit2: turns out the rootfs was the latest - and i dont think the new kernel likes my sim as I just get no mobile connection when booting...
edit3: rebooted to windows, back to android and now mobile signal is working again - and I can hear myself when I call myself too - so that shows progress!

So... from edit3, it looks like you're good again? Sometimes things seem to break without reason, and typically it's related to the data.img file becoming corrupt. If you continue to have issues, I would recommend at the very least renaming that file in WinMo and letting the system create a new one on the next boot - that way if the problem persists you can easily revert to your old data.img, which has all the apps you installed, all the changes you made, etc.
Yep - all working again - a couple of reboots may have done it really - but at least i updated the kernel now anyway!
thanks
hello arrrghhh
i try from 2 days the bundle frx07 and everything ok except the hotspot wifi but i know it s driver problem...maybe you have a solution ...but my real qustion is you know the way to install the frx07 ext2 version ??...
thank s for share your job
ps :for "mount usb" with "multimount sd" from market is working

43FRX07.1 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 ), reboot & go back to the newest kernel!
6. Run haret.exe.. Profit!
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.9Caveats:
- BT - works! 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...
- Audio stutters every 10sec. The only fix I've heard is using a kernel from G3rmo (unfortunately it is old), or
Which kills the [battery] process. I'm sure this will have negative effects on the battery meter/battery life...Code:
su kill -9 28 - SD Card not working...? "Waiting for SD Card" appearing on boot...? Try putting this command in your startup.txt
See gummbah30's post reminding us of these commands.Code:
msmsdcc_1bit msmsdcc_fmax=14000000 msmsdcc_nopwrsave - SD Card has partitions? (If you used a non-XDAndroid build the answer is YES) Then you need to add "no_partitions" to your startup.txt. Between the quotes on the set cmdline line. Do not put it on its own line, it goes in between the quotes! Make sure there is one space between each item.
- Front buttons messed up/wrong?
You can use my rootfs which incorporates g3rm0's layout.This custom rootfs is no longer necessary, I have committed the changes so you can use the autobuild rootfs (in conjunction with physkeyboard=blac in your startup.txt)! - Keyboard tiny/unusable? Either change the IME (long press on the input box) Get rid of it! I've heard "Hackers Keyboard" is a good alternative - many options. There's also "Better Keyboard", Swype, etc... Side load the APK using AndroidApps, adb install, etc.

I didn't have any issues with sleep/wake on current kernel and build (there is pm.sleep_mode=1 in my startup.txt but it's probably irrelevant). Camera can take stills but not video - known bug.
If you follow this tutorial you should be able to build your own system image with minimum effort. However there are few things to note:
1. You need to use Ubuntu 10.04. It won't work on older version and there are additional steps in Ubuntu 11.10 (not covered by this tutorial).
2. First build takes absurdly long time. It was something like 10 hours on my Linux VM. May be faster on quad-core native Linux machine but still it will be hours.
3. Using OpenJDK may not work! It's better to use latest sun-java6-jdk.
4. In step "Build Dependencies" you need to do everything as described with two exceptions.
a) signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip is no longer available on HTC Developer Center - google it.
b) HW3D driver is outdated. Google hw3d-20111216.zip.
5. Last thing to do before build is add booksphone.apk manually because it's missing from the latest gapps package. Google it and place under vendor/xdandroid/msm/proprietary.5stinebd's Changelog:

Layman's Changelog
(As in, the changelog I wrote)
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.
- 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

It's also provided in the AndroidApps/Other folder - it has no ad's.
ok if i mix arrrghhh's rootfs and mod with g3rm0 patched kernel my phone wont finish its android boot.... again....
if i use both g3rm0 kernel and roofts with arrrghhh's FRX07 build it freezes in the android boot again
i tried an older version of his kernel and it still didnt work with FRX07 .... temprimental mod isnt it
what is a ROOFTS???? whats the difference between yours and this guys?
could arrrghhh add this key formating from his roofts into urs?
EDIT: Tried the latest g3rm0 kernel again after a few restarts and its working playing music much better, occasional hickup but nothing as bad
rootfs changed quite a bit for FRX07. Not sure why it would cause issues with g3rm0's kernel...
This "music patch" literally disables the [battery] process... while it's a noble effort to fix BLAC's music woe's, it is not an acceptable patch for mainline kernels... sorry. Someone's actually going to have to figure out what in the battery code is causing the issue for BLAC's.
I think that's just part of Zeam launcher. You can use any launcher you please on FRX07 - I prefer ADW myself. All on ze Market.
Yea, emwe hasn't been able to fix this bug... sorry!
