[ROM][Updated 20/01/11] Higgsy Modded 2.2 ROM - Minimal Moto/Chinese

[conradlyn]

have you flashed 2.51 in the past as that breaks things. If not and you went from 2.21/2.34 flashed the 2.2 chinese .sbf, and you follow my guidelines on how to flash e.g. wiping, then I see no reason why it wouldn't as it works on mine.

No, I didn't flash 2.51 ever, only 2.21 UK several times and 2.34 once, and original chinese 2.2 three times.

the problem is, that my flash light is in the dead mode now in my newly flashed 2.2.
my process from the everything-working 2.21:

1. the working 2.21 UK. (knowing that there is flash light problem in 2.2 froyo)
2. flashed 2.2 .sbf, installed GSM update, rooted. (upon information that the rooting works by SuperOneClick), then flash light dies, waiting for fix.
3. the flash fix.zip comes out, flashed in, didn't work. only result is the weak green light.
4. flash back to 2.21 UK, green light stays.
5. flash 2.2 again, root, GSM update, flashfix.zip. still green light.
6. then revert to 2.21, immediately upgrade to 2.2 Chinese .sbf, root, updated the GSM, didn't flash any flashlight fix.
7. now, in 2.2 Chinese, dead flash light.

-in the upper process, each and every .sbf flashing has a before and after wiping.

can I use your method to heal my flash light now?

Hi Higgsy, nice going. Me thinks I'll try your rom tonight. Question though. Why did you max out a 900mhz and how difficult will it be for me to change that to 1Ghz?

 

[Khrushy]

He included Milestone Overclock in the ROM, so it's dead easy to change the top Freq and Vsel.

 

[JamesDax]

Ok, installed without a hitch as per your instructions and upon reboot found 2 issues. First was no 3G which I was able to fix right away by installing the chinese baseband switcher. Second is the camera is sill only doing flash on first pic. So far no other issues.

Hi, thanks!
Is there german language inside.
If not, how could i get it?

 

[Khrushy]

Oh yeah, Higgsy,

Because you never flashed 2.51, can you still flash back to Eclair from this Froyo build, or are you stuck up on Froyo once you flash up to it?

Cheers

Working on installing 2.2 now. Does this backup have JIT enabled as well?

2.2 has JIT Enabled out of the box

very nice job you've done higgsy.. one question before I jump to this rom, I'm currently using 2.34 no blur rom..

if the 2.51 rom is not downgradeable.. would this 2.2 chinesse rom can be downgradeable to the 2.34 again? just in case...

yup and if you flash back you should flash the wipe, 2.34/2.21 Eclair .sbf first, root with z4root, install clockworkmod then wipe wipe wipe and flash your backup.

I'm running 2.1-update1 stock ROM. Can I update to this ROM?

Thanks-

provide me the info from your "about phone" section in the settings and I'll tell you the best way

now sorted - i forgot to wipe after restoring your rom.

Wierd - shouldn't need to do that as long as you wiped as per my guide, but if it worked for you great, If someone else has this problem. I would like to see if wiping cache only sorts it.

Give it a try, just make sure you follow my method. if you have a clean rooted install (wipe after installing 2.2CN ROM)

Hi Higgsy, nice going. Me thinks I'll try your rom tonight. Question though. Why did you max out a 900mhz and how difficult will it be for me to change that to 1Ghz?

900mhz is just my preferred. As far as I'm concerned I want a stable phone thats usable, and interface that smooth as a whistle - I'm not bothered about benchmarks anymore they are just bragging rights imo- 900mhhz gives a bit more ooomph and isn't too harsh on the old battery. I also like the way it steps up in 300mhz lol. You can easily edit the top frequency in milestone overclock (customer freq/vsel in settings). Then follow my guide thats linked to in th OP to ammend the top frequency/vsel in the setscaling.sh (resides /system/xbin/setscaling.sh). Easiest way is to use app with a text editor like root explorer to change.

He included Milestone Overclock in the ROM, so it's dead easy to change the top Freq and Vsel.

Yeah but just beware that if you don't ammend setscaling.sh as per above it will just clock it to 900mhz.

Ok, installed without a hitch as per your instructions and upon reboot found 2 issues. First was no 3G which I was able to fix right away by installing the chinese baseband switcher. Second is the camera is sill only doing flash on first pic. So far no other issues.

Did you ever flash 2.51 eclair rom?

Hi, thanks!
Is there german language inside.
If not, how could i get it?

No sorry to say to all the people who speak other languages that only contains English - The original rom only contain Chinese/English you see. I may look into adding other languages, but I've heard from @audmont that it is a ball ache. To be fair this was only ever meant to offer the rom as it is.

Oh yeah, Higgsy,

Because you never flashed 2.51, can you still flash back to Eclair from this Froyo build, or are you stuck up on Froyo once you flash up to it?

See 2nd answer

Cheers for the support peoples, contiune to share your experiences with this rom and I'll and no doubt others will try and help. I really want to sort the camera issue out seen as though it works on mine, and want to know if it is linked to 2.51 eclair rom, so if you have the issue still I would like you to post what other .sbfs you have flashed in the past, also please post if you have/haven't had any issues with the camera since installing the ROM. Also please try wiping data for the "Camera 2.21" in titianium backup to see if that helps

Camera flash doesn't work for me too. I did everything as you described: came from 2.34, wiped data and cache, flashed official chinese froyo, wiped again, rooted with SuperOneClick, installed recovery, wiped data and cache, restored your backup. Tried to wipe data with Titanium Backup, didn't help. Anyway, thanks for this backup.

Hi Higgsy, thanks for the rom. New problem I'm afraid. Turned on my phone this morning and got a gtalk authenacation faild error and likely related now I can no longer download from the market. Downloads start and then just stop.

btw, to answer your earlier question I came from T-Mobile US rom to Chinese Rom to this one. I hope you can get this sorted out. This build is much faster then the stock chinese one was.
