Database Develop

android 2.2???

i was just curious if the hero was getting the 2.2 update? doesnt look like much of a difference but im still curious

It is highly unlikely that we will see an official release of 2.2, but the devs here on this forum will try to work on it. darchstar has already stated that when the 2.2 source is released and implemented into Cyanogen mod, he will port it over.
While it might seem that different, there are a lot of major changes, especially in speeed. The Market has an autoupdate feature in 2.2, Apps2SD is built in (but, I assume, it's not based on our same Apps2SD. Just the same function), and JIT is fully functioning and working as it should. The Nexus One running 2.2 runs almost 8 times faster than it does with 2.1, or so I've been told.

lol, let the 2.2 threads begin....
We barely got 2.1.
Im sure after the devs get froyo working, sprint will steal it, mod it slightly, leak it back out to the devs for them to tweak, and us to test, then sprint will release it officially about 6 months later, blaming htc for the hold up and it will still have tons of problems. Then the devs will figure out how to root it and sprint/htc will put out a update almost the next day to patch the root exploit.
Anyone else have a idea?

So would you say it will be an ......"extreme" improvement (har har har oh not funny). Yeah your right we'll probably never see an official release. Unlike tmobile who have said or rumored to say all their phones that can get it will.

Nope. I would, however, say it would be pretty Xtreme
I would love to see 2.2 on my Hero. Especially because that would mean I could go into Sprint and show them that my Hero is running faster than their EVO

thanks for the feedback guys. yeah i was watching videos of the nexus one running 2.2 and that thing was blazing fast!!!

i sent HTC a message last night asking if the hero was going to get the 2.2 release and this was there response...
(Hello Chris, Thank you for taking the time to contact HTC America Technical Support about your device. Before releasing a ROM update we have to be sure that the software is going to work properly on your hardware and on your carrier’s network. This testing does take some time but will result in an update that is optimized to work on your device and on your carrier’s network. While we want to release software as soon as we can we will only do so once the software has passed our quality standards. At this time we do not have any information about an update for your device. When the update is released it will be announced on HTC.com.)

So basically "We don't feel like it"

yeah basically who needs official anyways. we can do it ourselfs!! lolol

the 2.1s are still buggy... stock or not. i don't even want to think about 2.2 yet.

Only way to fix bugs is with updates.

I feel like engadget misunderstood. I don't believe the ROM has been fully flashed onto any hardware, it may have been tested in the SDK and it's even possible they were able to import several things (like the modem) and several apk's into something like the nexus one (for instance, phandroid has a commenter claiming to be running the G2 launcher and G2 google apps on stock froyo 2.2 FOR THE NEXUS ONE). I doubt there have been any pre-bakes, but I wouldn't be surprised if there is something there for the nexus one (feel free to show me otherwise, I'd be interested in seeing it)

I feel the same way after checking sources I don't think its been flashed completely either but one can hope anyways that 2.1 vanilla may be hitting soon which spill be a relief

has anyone ever talked about doing this?..i know team douche isnt working with the X but id love to see cm6 on the x...but i dont have the brain to pull it off..or even know if it could be pulled off?

Bumping...

bumping to and why?...ive seen one post about this and it was like 4 months ago...

I had cyanogen on my eris and i loved it. CM6 on the X would rock! Im sure it is a daunting task with the way the X is locked down. Someone has to figure it is a challenge worth undertaking at some point.

i think one of the main reasons they cant is because you cant flash custom kernels on the X..but i would die for some cm6 love on the X

Can't be done until bootloader is unlocked....search and read before pointless threads.

Just an FYI... Its in the works. Obviously we wont have everything CM6 has because of the kernel issues, but we will have a lot. And its being worked on right now. So, this thread isn't useless
Its just gonna be a while, so dont hold your breath.

Lmao...still makes this a useless thread...lots of people are working on things....Google is working on Gingerbread ...still don't need a thread about it...lol
No worries and not fighting with ya...and don't really care to much...lol

I asked a question there was one other thread about this like 4 months ago....if you don't have an answer for the question then leave the thread....if this thread being here really bothers you that much then you have issues...its not pointless cause I want to know if anyone had any info on it

My point should of been that You could do some searching or research and get ur answer easily.
CM6 Roms are not possible for us right now because we can't load a custom kernel on our devices.
We should be able to eventually get a mostly all AOSP ROM on our phones, but it will never be truely built from source until we can load a custom made kernel and break the bootloader.
Most of the great stuff in CM Roms is reliant on Koushs and other teamsouche memnlbers custom kernels...so having a CM6 Rom on our Droid X without a custom kernel is kinda lame....cool still....but would be missing all the great stuff CM6 has to offer...hence why CM6 doesn't support our Droid X right now.
Shoulda just answered u in the first place....sorry bout that been having a bad week and shouldn't of been a dbag about it.
Cheers

What good is a forum if we cant talk about stuff thats developing? I agree, its gonna be kinda lame without the kernel mods, and it wont be official, but SUPPOSEDLY someone I talk to is doing what they can with what we are given to work with.
Heres to hope...
Cheers.

ROM Manager and Devs

I know I am probably going to get some heat for posting a "Question" in the Devs section, but I did attempt to ask it in the Q&A section, but have not received any responses from any of the developers (not sure if they regular that section).
My question is why none of the Captivate developers utilize ROM manager as a place to download (and update) their custom ROMs? I know many of us have purchased the premium license, and wonder why you haven't utilized this feature? Is it more of a hassle? Is there costs involved that inhibit Devs from wanting to post there? I know EVO owners have a wide variety of ROMs on their device available for download right from manager.
Thanks in advance, and if this tread needs to be moved or deleted after, I won't be offended.
........and thank you Devs for your AWESOME Roms!

I, too, was disappointed after purchasing ROM Manager Premium that there were no ROMs available to download. I was under the impression that this would open up a load of ROMs for me to download and try out.

Personally, I think the purchase was well worth it considering how much I've used it. I did it to support the guy. I can find roms on my own.

Oh, I completely agree. I was just wondering why our devs haven't utilized it. Maybe it has to do with the file type system that the Galaxy S's use? I know it is probably safer using Odin to flash back to stock first, but maybe there was another reason? Or maybe that isn't even a reason?

I am not an expert but I think it has a lot to do with the fact that rom manager does not work with the captivate as it does with other devices such as the evo. For whatever reason when you simply try to flash a new rom, old remnants remain and you often experience problems especially when the new rom is based on a different build/kernel, etc. That is the reason everyone recommends flashing stock using odin first as it eliminates all remnants of the previous rom.
It is nice to be able to use the full functionality of rom manager on my evo but honestly I usually research here on xda first anyway.
I have yet to see a full explanation as to why we have the issue on the captivate and hopefully someone who understands the exact reason will take the time to explain.

It's related mainly to the Kernel and Modem I'm sure. The evo community doesn't use a kernel and modem file designed for an entirely different (albeit very similar) device; we do.

Rom manager needs to be more clear on how many ROMS will be available before purchase. The way it's worded makes it seem like you'll have roms to choose from regardless of your device.
I also upgraded to premium and spent time"trouble shooting" trying to figure out what was wrong.
I knew every popular rom wouldn't necessarily be listed but I certainly expected something.

Well atleast u helped out the dev who created this recovery that makes flashing incredibly easier for all of us.

For sure. I just came to my SGS frim an htc legend and have gotten more than my moneys worth from them. It is a good app, for sure.

Not the point of the question. Incase it needs to be reiterated, what he wants to ask is: Developers. Why are your ROMs not available via Rom Manager directly?
If there is a reason why you don't use it, it would be nice of you could elaborate. Not everyone has money to throw at something that they don't see beneficial. (Paid vs unpaid.) Donations are nice, but they are donations for a reason. Any "Oh, but you should contribute to Rom Manager creaters anyway." chat is beside the point and not the focus of this thread, so please keep your opinion on purchasing donate versions out of the equation.

I cant say why but it is their chose as if they want to use it or not. Please dont open more then one thread on the same subject.
I deem this thread closed

Requesting a Voltage Control App

Hey all,
I am new to the fascinate (but coming from Captivate) and I was curious if any of our Devs could make a simple app that could allow us to customize how we undervolt our overclocked kernals. There is one that I have for my captivate but support for it was dissolved when the dev who created it decided to only focus on specific i9000 kernals, and unfortunately the version that still works on my captivate will not install on the fascinate. The newest version will however install, but it requires one of the supported i9000 kernals
Does anyone have the know-how to develop an app for this purpose? I found that when undervolting my over-clocked kernals to my phone's ability I could maximize battery life as well as the internal heat, while still having the phone in beast mode with OC's around 1.3ghz.

Can you link the source for it? I personally can't dev, but it may interest some devs.

I've seen it for the GSM kernels, but I don't know if it would work for our phones as the way the CPU frequency and power management is setup is entirely different from the GSM models. I agree that it was a great idea, but it looked to be over my head on how it was done.

Sorry I know how to flash roms, kernals, etc. but no clue how to do anything else

Can you link the original thread?

There wasn't one, it was included in a few roms until he decided to partner with a certain dev to only support specific kernals. I have a several of the different versions including the older one that still works for all of the captivate kernals, I could post the apk if that would help. Would that be wrong to post his work though?
Nevermind, found this, hope it helps!

when i stumbled across this when forum browsing, i brought it up to adryn...i think he and jt talked it over or something....i dont remember what came of it, other than it couldnt work with our kernels as is...either it would take .32 or they d have to build the kernels different or something...i dont recall
