Aqtrans' CM-5.07 port for Kaiser/Vogue! [v1.2] [5/27]

This is my port of Cyanogen's latest Eclair build, v5.07-stable.
It is basically mssmison's 5.07-test3 build updated, I used the same process he did to port this one.
Included Apps:
-Connectbot
-Astro
-RogueTools
-LinPack
-HomeSwitcher
Notes:
-No major problems found so far (besides Eclair-specific problems like the Camera not working).
-Speed is comparable to other Eclair builds, maybe even a bit zippier at times.
-It should be fully compatible with any themes/mods made for Cyanogenmod v5.07-stable. (Although my attempt at flashing this theme sent my phone into an "android.power wakeup" loop, so be cautious!)
--Darkstar theme isn't working either, thx for trying @thebulletfromhell!
-It is set to 120DPI by default, so if running anything other than 320x240, you'll have to use RogueTools to adjust it. I am currently running it at 320x240x120dpi and haven't experienced many problems, except the top and bottom of the Dialer are cutoff, button's still reachable though. (If someone wants to help me fix this, please do, I just don't know where to start)
-Wifi support for the Kaiser is built in, should work out of the box!
-Starting with v1.2, Userinit.conf is added to the root of your SD, by default it has 16MB of Compcache, but this can be adjusted by editing the file.
Download! [Last updated on 5/29/10]
Changelog:
v1.3
-Removed userinit.conf, now everything is run directly from /system/bin/userinit.sh
-32MB Compcache by default
-Removed overclocking from the get-go. You can set it manually via RogueTools.
-Userinit.sh now renice's com.android.phone to try and improve ringing delay.
v1.2.1
-Removed redundant wlan.ko
-Replaced wlan.ko with kallt_kaffe's
-Reverted a change to userinit.sh that was causing awful performance
v1.2
-Removed Dropbox, Speedtest, Twicca, Shazam, 3Banana Notes, and LiveWallpapers
-Added Camera back (Fixes FC when trying to crop a wallpaper)
-Fixed Facebook Sync
-Userinit.conf is added to the root of SD card on first boot. This allows you to control Compcache, swap, and many other settings.

Thanks go out to mssmision for his port+quick guide to porting, Cyanogen for the build, and all the other developers that worked on getting Android running on this phone! You guys have made this phone so much more usable.

Woah, it's weird being in a different forum.
What is updated in this new version (1.1)? I'm still running the first one you posted in the Vogue forums (on a Vogue) and it's working great.

Cool!
Gonna try this one out.
Thanks a lot!

The updated version has wifi working for Kaiser, and some compcache tweaks done to /system/bin/userinit.conf. The first version I think I disabled compcache entirely, and it really showed once you got the build fully loaded.

any screens? how to install themes on Kaiser? Little guide please...

just downloaded going to give it a try

all live wallpapers dont work and show force close (exclude polar clock)
but its cool and fast (default it set at 450MHz and i set it to 500MHz)
Bench at 500MHz: MFLOPS:2.141
Times: 2.53s
Norm Res: 3.36
Precision: 2.224...
Maybe you add-in many of not neccessary app..
and one very good thing.. i have i think 320x428 and 120DPi in RogueTools. and its less blurry than thats sets in myn
Congrats for good rom.

exist CM with sense 2.1 on kaiser?

Compared to super eclair it has a few advantages:
-language dutch is included and fully working
-more options: look at call settings.
-market is fully working (for now), but no paid apps (super eclair market broke after using a time, not all apps can be found).
But less free ram.
Not really worth upgrading for me (I have 2 kaisers).

i've installed this build on my kaiser and it works great.
tested the wifi, the market, both work great. bluetooth turns on but i haven't had the chance to send or receive any files or to connect it to my wireless headsets.
did not test the data yet.
installed helix launcher and i think it moves a little bit faster than the regular home screen.
thank for the upload

Here's a guide to installing to NAND. The build is not themed at all, so you can check out the official Cyanogen thread for screenshots, they should look identical (besides a smaller res).

Yeah I just noticed the Live Wallpapers crash, didn't try this out before. Not sure if it's possible to fix it, I don't remember them working on any other Eclair builds.
Also, I noticed that /system is running low on space, so I will definitely try to trim some fat by removing pre-installed apps.

Not that I know of. But there is a QVGA Android phone with Sense coming out sometime this summer, and I'm sure someone will attempt to port it.

From the vogue thread...
Great build, I'm running it right now, and it thus far seems to be fast and stable! (bumped up the o/c to 500)
Two pieces of feedback...
If you can get facebook sync to work with the most current facebook app (the one with the "inbox" button rather than the "take photo" button it would be amazing. As of now, the only way to get facebook sync to work is to run the Moto Droid apk, which is the previous version.)
Anyway to get full market from the getgo? I have marketenabler working, but it isn't always consistent.
That being said, amazing build. Good work.

@GeJohnO: Looks like this is a known issue with the original Cyanogen
A few known issues;
* Facebook from market breaks sync for Market users (see forum for alternative apk) - only on Dream, Sapphire is OK. Blame Facebook.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'll look into including whatever alternate APK in the next build.
Also I found that taking out the Camera app causes Gallery to FC when trying to crop a wallpaper, so I'll fix that as well.

I just got a text message from the 24th of this months with super ecalir lite, I don't know if this version hzs those issues too?

Add the darkstar theme to not working as well. It put it in a permanent loop

The darkstar theme hasn't been released for 5.0.7 stable. The most current release is for test5. This may be why it's not working for you

I tried mssmison's test 3 out, and it was problematic. A lot of stuff would end up resetting the phone, back to the start up animation. Haven't tried this one yet, but my experience with Eclairs have been bad so far.
Wish there was a way to run Android on both NAND and SD cards. That way, I can test them out on the SD card, without destroying my NAND installation.

Running this port since yesterday and I must say I'm really impressed. Fast, responsive and also it seems not to drain battery as fast as other builds.
Any chance of getting Corporate Calendar in the next version (currently Exchange sync works only for Mail and Contacts in this build).

Version 1.2 posted! Changelog in the OP.
I tried adding the modded Market, but it kept FC'ing whenever an app would go to install. Looking at the thread, it seems like a known issue, without a fix that I could find

Suggestions for 1.3
- Remove /system/etc/wifi/wlan.ko (not needed)
- Replace wlan.ko /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko with the attached version (I believe it works better for Polaris users)
I was about to suggest increasing the wlan scan interval but I noticed that you hade allready done that.
I've had problems with builds that have sensors.msm7k.so all by itself so I added the sapphire sensors before I installed v1.1 as a precaution but I'll try without doing that once I reinstall with v1.2 and I'll let you know how it goes.

[Android] Fat Free Froyo [ALL LANG-ODEX] 11/10

so this is what i have been messing with for the past few days since i think not so super froyo has hit a point that im happy with for the moment
my goal with this build is to get rid of as much of the unneeded apps as possible and shrink the system down as small as it can.
things that are removed from the initial install that are in fresh froyo
-HTC_IME
-Gmail, google search, voice search and pretty much every other google app that can now be installed from the market
-as always live wallpapers and launcher 2 are gone
- the how to use android widget
- their are no other wallpapers or galleries installed on this build too their are plenty of the apps on the market for that
- THIS BUILD IS ENGLISH AND SPANISH ONLY!
things that are in it
- a new blue theme i have been working on (some of the .png's are from losteden, vellowax and some other various themes), its pretty close to perfect but their might be a few hiccups still
- ADW is still the launcher of choice and its still in /data for easy removal
- a different themed clock
- zip align on first boot
- astro and rogue tools are both installed in /data
known issues
- ADW still does the could not load widget error like in Not so super
I was going to odex this build but wasnt able to get the ADB driver to work correctly (if somebody does manage to get it Odex'd feel free to post it)
Also this was merely a test to see how light i could get it and it ended up being decently stable, i don't know how much updating i am going to do to it.
RLS2
-car home and car home launcher removed
-music player removed as their are tons of replacements in the market
- now odex'd
New in odex'd RLS3
-street.apk is now removed since maps is also gone
- voicedialer is also gone seeing at the newest version of voice search on the market can voice dial also it seems pointless
- lowered the volume on the camera shutter noise
RLS4
- newer version of fresh froyo (thanks scooter)
- Now using ADW standalone with a myn warm twopointtwo inspired look
- Flutey phone ringtone now include by default
- different wallpaper this time around
- bright blue themed desk clock
- more "sensible" notification drawer
RLS5
-fixed facebook sync
-fixed the graphical issue with the status bar highlights being green instead of blue
-added the blue keyboard from my Galaxy S theme/port (delete key is a little small but the keyboard file size is overall smaller.
-new boot animation that goes better with the theme
ALL-LANG ODEX
-all languages
-doesn't have 1% battery indicators
-sadly some of the theming elements had to take a backseat to space saving
-seems just as stable

DOWNLOAD RLS1 DEODEX
here is an odex'd version of the build, the music player is also removed seeing as there are a ton of free options for that on the market that do it better
also this is untested as far as data and sms, it should work fine ( i did check to make sure there was not a call hang issue)
ODEX DOWNLOAD RLS5
ALL LANG-ODEX

looks nice... gonna give it a shot!

Nice battery meter... what's it?
Is it available as update? (Running VaniljEclair... having trouble with Froyo )
Have a nice day

On our weak kaisers, we need more roms like this. Barebones and stripped to the maximum.
Please wait while I give it a go .
Thanks.

EPIC WIN Thoughtlesskyle! 100X times better than Not so Super Froyo and OVER 9000 times better than any other Android distro out there. My current droid, not changing it at all for a long time (only updates to this build and odexed build).

Fat Free Froyo
Seems to be a good build!
I'll test.
Nice job guy!

Really want to thank you for all the hard work on this and your other builds which I have been trying out.
I've had a lot of trouble with yours and others builds getting mass storage to work consistently - even using the Dual Mount Widget. Finally seem to have hit a good combo though with the latest 2.6.25 (+wifi fix) and your builds.
I'm loving the blue and black plus it's nice to know I'm not pushing the envelope installing some of my other fav apps .

so i just managed to get the build odex'd holy poop its fast is all i have to say
im a little low on bandwith from my free mediafire account so i kind of have to decide what i want to do as far as putting this build up

He's on fire..

You are a busy man now...
Well, as I said before, feel free to use it, I don't plan to make a new theme at least for now, you mix them better than mine.
I'm now get busy with those java lang and eclipse, I still attempt to fix the camcorder app though I might failed.
This is a very great community, I learn a lot from here.

how sad is it that i just do this for fun, since my touch isn't active part of me actually enjoys having to do some basic problem solving and i must say i have learned alot about file structure and how android works from doing it, and im really happy i have been so well received by everyone since a few months ago i was the one using everyone else is builds, its nice to give back.
and i'm glad to see that this community is still active even though the faces have changed of people making the builds and doing the dev.
i am also thoroughly surprised at how many new people just show up on here.

odexed build now! HAVE TO DOWNLOAD ! You just managed to knock myn and incubus off my favourite android dev list! U are on top man, keep going! I'm just going to use 3, that nice music app replacement and it's perfect!

Could you explain (or reference) how you did the odexing.

sir i have a problem i try this version when i installed it then quit my phone is still in boot mode and it says mounting /data/sysfiles/ su on / system/xbin/sun faiel no such file or directory
need help sir here
in the below it says
ANDROID unable to open persistent directory /data/property error 2
what is the problem with this? thanks for the help

Blue
I love the blue theme in some of the icons - actually a bit easier to read for me than the green.
Nice and quick
Trouble is I don't use market so all the apps I want have to be installed using my alternative method - but it's nice to have the control ...

Very nice job, I like it, but how can I add french language ?

Kernel recommendations?
Which kernel is recommended for this build on Kaiser?
URL would be nice.
I've tried running some different builds with zImage-2.6.32-froyo-09-10-10_23 from (http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/) and the new haret-for-kernel-2-6-32, but that gives really crappy performance for me.
Takes ages for haret to switch from frozen state to android boot + long boot time and FCs.

thank you for the kind words but i still stand firm on my statement that i am not a dev i'm a guy who can use 7zip and read. also being patient helps too.
but yea it seems to be really stable so far i am happy i finally got it to odex

alright here is the thread with the odexing info i used
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694597
my biggest problem (and still is) i could never get my vogue to read correctly with my windows 7 computer, so how i worked around it was
1. first i moved all of the apps into /system so /data was empty
2. then using 7zip i edited the tar so that the odex script was in the same place that the adb push would have located it (e.g. /data/odex/odex.sh)
3. then i added a terminal editor into the build (i just grabbed the one from CM6)
4. i booted up the phone then opened terminal emulator
5. in the emulator i typed the following
su (the superuser box will pop up i hit allow, this caused the program not to work right after the SU so i backed out and when back into it) then i typed
su
# sh /data/odex/odex.sh
6 once i did that the script started odexing the files
7 upon completion the phone needed to be restarted
8 then using astro i pressed up till i could get to the system folder
9 i then copy and pasted this to the sd card
10 i then put the sd card into my computer and used 7zip to replace the system i was using with the newly odex'd system
11 since not everything was in the system folder i copied i used 7zip to merge the missing files this was the ect folder and the media folder
12 i then deleted the files i moved into /system from data (adw,roguetools,and astro) and put the /data folder back into the .tar
13 then booted it up on my phone for a test run
i am pretty sure thats about everything i did to odex it

[Rom] Deviant v0.77 -2nd release (27/2/2011)

Deviant v0.77
Here is an attempt at changing the recent trend in Galaxy S (i9000) ROMs. It seams the focus is mostly on speed (not only speed of course but its definitely prioritized to the point of sometimes leaving little option but a stock ROM or a quick ROM), which is good for some people and great for improving OS knowledge and leading to advances all over the place but why have a modern phone with decent specs with the only advantage being the ability to load the MMS app a few milliseconds quicker? Don't get me wrong I think most of the ROMs available are great I just find there's not really anything like what I'm attempting to do (that I've come across at least). But the most experimental change I am trying to implement and my main focus in creating this ROM is to replace as many of the stock apps as possible with community made alternatives which has turned out to be quite a challenging process due to most apps not being designed to be used together in such a way and especially without the standard system apps being available to them (though some just work perfectly as full replacements many just don't, possibly due to certain system apps calling each other in ways that just causes repeated force closings at boot) but it's definitely do able as I've replaced almost all of the standard apps already but there's bound to be some issues so time will tell.
So in attempting to fill in this perceived gap I am working on a ROM that:
* Replace as many of the standard apps as possible with full featured free alternatives (SUPPORT FREE SOFTWARE!!!)
* Adding extras you may not even need but you might have fun fiddling with none the less
* Providing a ROM that you can flash then immediately just have fun with that still is fully functional and stable
* Is suitable for everyday use
* That isn't noticeably lagged
* Which contains a new custom theme (possibly to be started in the next release but it wont be a priority over useability and stability)
I hope this find at least a small appreciative audience. I am VERY open to comments and suggestions especially about good free apps that I may not have even heard of (and considering how many apps are available now days it is a definite possibility).
PLEASE NOTE! This is still very much in development, its going to have problems most likely petty little ones but there's going to be a few at least, most likely incompatibilities between apps or stock apps I've replaced that has broken the ROM in some way. But so far I'm definitely happy with the results and consider it usable and reasonably stable but there's definitely so much more I can do so hopefully there is interest in this ROM to motivate my continued work.
List of ROM changes and specifics below in following post.

XDA forum app
Voodoo Control App
Foot Feed
Jota Text
LCD Density Changer
Quick Boot
Backup Everything
BLN Control Free
Download All Files
E-mail Notifier
Barcode Scanner
Ebuddy
AnySoft Keyboard
Contapps
Go Launcher Notifications
MortPlay Widget
PDF Viewer
Voltage Control
Youtube
Specifics:
JS5 Base (WIPE)
Super Optimized Kernel v4.7.9
GO Launcher EX
Modified Phone.apk for call recording if desired
Default LCD Density changed to 200 (looks much nicer)
Custom made Deviant boot animations (one needs some work one isn't bad though)
Installation Instructions:
Flash via clockwork (at the moment the script wont flash properly with clockwork 3 it doesn't fail but it wont install the apps correctly so if your using a voodoo kernel or another kernel with version 3 (orange menus) just flash Speedmod or something else with cw v2.5 instead of 3). Prior to flashing make sure to do a full wipe. The app "backup everything" is included in this ROM so that you may use it to back up your apps and whatever else if you are following the deviant releases. If you do decide to flash a post saying that you have flashed this ROM would be great to give me some idea of how many people are using it.
There's probably a few little changes I've forgot to mention, if anyone notices any obvious ones could you please make me aware so I can list them

Some screenshots would be nice

Try to use the gray icons in the menus (settings), they look better and elegant than the colorful one's. Try also to put some info about the battery usage, most of the users aim for a ROM with good battery performance regardless of the kernel.

Very interesting ! Sure a supa-cool theme would make your rom really different !

Yah I know what ya mean the stock colours are a bit rough on the eye, I'm keen to start doing some theme work as i go along but I may use a nice theme that's already available in the next release to get things looking nice before I get to it. Kernel: Most likely going to be changed anyway, possibly to something UV'ed by default but not necessarily OC'd which leads me to battery, drain doesn't seam bad at all... but I'm bin experimenting and testing different software mixes alot so I really haven't had the change to really gauge it but its not horrible at the moment (IMO).

Thanks for your support, its still early days but I'm hoping to have something after awhile with a really alternative feel especially with the software itself.

ADWLauncher with darkEdge themes look very sleek on my phone. Try it

Hi again,
I think different proffessionals have different requirements. If you want this to to see a logical end, make a ROM for doctors, one for engineers, one for architects, one for politicians, one for social workers, one for kids, one for teenagers, one for single MOMs, one for divorcees, Etc, Etc.
One package doesn't seriously fit ALL.
EDIT1 : A seriously overweight woman would require a diet plan software.
EDIT2 : A scientist would prefer to have wolfram & use it.

While reading the first few sentences..
I was having the idea that this rom is working towards battery efficiency..
lol.. I see you're having fun replacing stock apps..
Enjoy..

Oh, what app did you use for contact replacement ? I'm trying to replace samsung contact app with AOSP Contact App...but I fail everytime. Do you think it's possible ?

hmmm I see what your saying and perhaps I haven't quite expressed my intentions perfectly yet (this is very much a work in progress)... My main intention is to switch out as many of the standard apps as possible (from the dialer to Google maps) with free community developed alternatives, this is my main aim. My secondary aim is to have something with a bit of weight to it, not ridiculously full just full of nice useful apps that cover a decent range of uses but not anything so specific as to target a specific audience.
Also thanks for advising me about those themes, I am currently looking into a few options atm. Though unsure which to persue as yet.
Also a new build will be going up in the next hour or so (my upload speed is horrible atm) which has had quite a few changes since the first release... Also keep an eye out as I will be putting alot of time towards this and are hoping for daily updates (till things reach a point I'm alot more happy with).
So please come back now and then just to see whats bin done and your comments are definately more then welcome!

I was having the idea that this rom is working towards battery efficiency..
lol.. I see you're having fun replacing stock apps..
Enjoy..

Sorry though this will be something I look at down the line atm its not the highest of priorites. This is very much an experiment of sorts that may or may not develop into something good... Thanks for having a look anyway

Oh, what app did you use for contact replacement ? I'm trying to replace samsung contact app with AOSP Contact App...but I fail everytime. Do you think it's possible ?

ahh i see we've run into similar problems, specifically the mms and contacts apps... Atm I've pretty well settled on just adding an extra two apps and leaving them (that reminds me I need to re-add contapps its quite good). There's definitely dependance issues with those two apks which there is possibly a way around but definitely not an obvious one, I've spent a bit of time reading around but yet to have any luck and quite a lot of experimenting has left me with no luck so far sorry... Would be wonderful to hear back if you find a solution

Ok. I was thinking about a dependance issue too, so I'm looking at the other files contained, for example, in the Gapps zip of CM7. There is a LIB folder, which could be related to. Following that track : in the Lib folder of CM7, we can find some lib files related to the keyboard, the camera app, etc... But no explicit "libcontact" file (for example).
I don't think that Etc and Framework folders could be useful.
However, I'm just groping.

Actually this is something I noticed aswell... When I replaced the gallery in Deviant I found I could use Floating Image as a replacement fine but that didnt cut it as a good full featured gallery (though it was cool to look at) so I decided to replace it with QuickPic which just force closed on boot, but by doing alot of reading around happened across a fix but putting a single library file from its APK into the lib folder of the rom and now it works flawlessly. Yet to find a way around the MMS or Contacts issue sadly, which is something I would really like to have fixed in a future release.

Very interesting .. we're on the right track. Maybe contacting a skilled developer (Darky, Doc,...) would be helpful? Or even the CM7 developers.

That could possibly help (would hate to annoy them though they are doing some really great work)... It's definitely something that gets asked around the net a bit as I've noticed while doing some research but it seams the MMS apk sets up the messaging settings in some way on first boot and can often be replaced after that, I think the easiest way to do that would be to script something to remove/switch the apk after its done its job right at the end of first boot, though doing so could be somewhat of a challenge in itself and their doesn't seam be any obvious lib files in the apk. As for my issue with the contact app, I think that's really provably to do with a dependance but then again it could just be the way all the contact apps I've tried are coded (not designed to run by them self and perhaps depending on the stock app in some way)...

You kids like ROMs? Yeah... me too.
If you poke around these forums, you'll see that I once put together a spreadsheet comparing many ROMs for the Wildfire S, and I gotta say: overall, I was impressed with what I tested (and I'm VERY thankful for the folks who keep cooking up these ROMs) but I was never fully satisfied. Thus, WildChild was born. I hope you find it useful, speedy, and good-looking (... okay, then at least good-looking).
WildChild is dedicated to my two WildChilds: Joshua and Matteo.
HTC Sense-based ROM, with most of the Sense removed. (Does that make Sense?
OS = Android "Gingerbread" 2.3.5
App2SD, BusyBox, rooted, zipaligned, and all that standard crap.
Running the Nemus launcher (built-in task manager that actually works; built-in ability to organize your apps; lock the layout of your home screen icons; use any combination of [3|4|5] x [3|4|5] app drawer grid; and other wacky ****.)
Some stock HTC APKs replaced with newer/more-efficient/prettier versions.
Old Google Market (runs faster than the newer versions).
Old SMS text messaging (your precious screen space isn't wasted by those pesky text bubbles).
aCalendar replaces the stock HTC calendar.
All installed APK's are at the latest version (at the time this post was published).
Minimal ringtones (to save space on /system). You can easily add your own!
Wake the phone (from sleep mode) by using the volume rocker switch.
Global audio equalizer (with a built-in WildChild preset).
Using E.Frat's latest Cake over-clocked kernel.
Fully modular and highly configurable. Just check the Add-On's section regularly.
Features unique to WildChild:
Beautifully and painstakingly themed in a way that pleases me (and hopefully you, too.
Modified SMS notification icon for task bar (stock one looks a lot like Email icon... not anymore!)
Funky volume up/down indicator sounds.
Font tweaks (the lockscreen clock is actually READABLE now).
100% guaranteed non-annoying boot animation. Plus, no bootdown animation (faster shutdown).
Unique lockscreen created by Tigger31337: a ring of (Wild)fire against the setting moon.
Unique method of APK-level customization. This translates into a more consistent end-user experience and less setup time for you! As far as I know, no other ROM uses this method, so I'll just sit back and wait for the copycats to hit the scene.
Crazy-sick amount of RAM (almost 300 MB FREE!!) out of the box.
Tons of internal storage space for your apps (77 MB free on de-odex. 117 MB free on odex!!)
Some other useless crap that I'm sure I forgot. Just try the damn thing. I bet you'll like it.
Tested (and works!) on Wildfire S GSM. Might work on CDMA; might not. Who the hell knows.
WildChild comes in 2 flavours: FULL and LITE.
FULL contains most of the stock HTC ROM functionality without all the bloat. For example, all HTC widgets are removed, APKs have been tweaked/compressed where possible, and the Nemus launcher replaces the default "Rosie" launcher.
LITE takes it a step further by removing even more rarely-used APK's as well as most of the Google backup/synchronization services. Please don't install WC-Lite and then ask me why you can't synch your accounts or I will drive down to your house and spank you in front of your parents.
To make your choice even harder, both flavours come in an ODEX and DE-ODEX version. Major difference? ODEX buys you more internal (high-speed) storage... good for hosting your widgets and other "critical" processes.
Check the screenshot below (19-WC-Compare.jpg) to see exactly what the space savings are between all the ROMs.
WildChild comes with the following applications already built-in:
aCalendar
AdFree
AnEq Equalizer (with custom WildChild preset built-in)
Barcode/QR Scanner
CalendarSnooze
FileExpert
Flashlight
GPSStatus
Link2SD
Nemus Launcher
NoFrills CPU
Notepad
PartitionsInfo Lite
QuickPic Gallery
ScreenFilter
Startup Auditor
SuperUser
Terminal
The Weather Network (not on the Lite version)
WiFi Manager
WiFi Tracker
(You really should know these steps by now, but for tradition's sake...)
Prepare and partition your SDCard. (Folks seem to enjoy a FAT32 primary, a 1 GB ext4 (I use ext2), and a 512MB Linux Swap... in that order.)
Copy the WildChild ROM .zip file to your SDCard. Cool.
Reboot into Recovery mode.
Wipe data/factory reset. (Do it twice, especially if on CWM)
Wipe Dalvik cache. (twice, as above)
Choose "Install zip from SDCard".
(You might have to toggle Signature Verification until it is Disabled)
"Choose zip from SDCard" and select your WildChild ROM .zip file.
(read the splash screen and wait about 2 mins.)
Reboot phone; wait another 2-3 mins.
N.B. Starting with WildChild v1.5, two reboots is now normal and expected during the setup.
When lockscreen appears with your local carrier time, you may unlock phone and start using.
Enjoy! (...and throw a "Thanks" my way! )
N.B.
For those on previous versions of WildChild, I will soon release an "upgrade pack" that will take you straight to v2.0. For those without the patience (hey, I don't blame you!), then go ahead and flash the full v2.0. The latter is probably the more stable option, anyway. As usual, ensure you backup your data first!
Might I make the following suggestions? Why, thank you:
OS Settings: disable vibration on type, set your date/time, disable fast boot and power saver, disable "ask me about USB connection", disable all window animations, set 2 minute screen timeout (anything less is annoying), disable vibration feedback for UI.
WC v1.5 UPDATE: All of this is now done for you, thanks to my apk-level customization. You're welcome!!
CPU: Max = 768Mhz, Min = 122Mhz. Gov = Scary. This will give you excellent balance between performance and battery life.
WC v1.5 UPDATE: This is also done for you! I now set the min. CPU at 600Mhz. However, I still leave the choice of scheduler up to you. I like sio and noop... but that's just me, what do I know?
Link2SD: I use ext2 (for various reasons... performance, mostly), but if your fs is ext4, that's cool too. Set the default location to External. I do *NOT* recommend enabling the auto-link feature, as this will consume a good 9MB of RAM.
Launcher Settings: (Tweak these as you see fit. Most changes here are cosmetic, but some are performance-related. Take the time go go through each setting; you'll get more out of your phone.)
OS Settings (Reprise): WildChild sets non-Market app installation and Mock Locations to enabled by default. Fast Boot is set to disabled. Hugely convenient.

Thanks Sander.
I should say, it's not just a "theme" but a lot of the APKs themselves were modified, so the end result is a more consistent look. (e.g. the phone is blue, the camera is blue, contacts, Market, etc.)
I'll look into WidgetLocker and keep you posted. Stay tuned!

Good question.
If you see my "First Boot" section, I recommend setting the CPU to 122-768Mhz, Governor = Scary, and Scheduler = sio.
This combo gives, objectively, the best results for me (and it should be for you, too, since we're using the same hardware). I stuck with Smartass+noop for the longest time, but was unhappy with battery life. This new combo is definitely better, but I won't give values because it all depends on your usage.
A rough guideline is that it runs (for me) about a day and a half of normal usage (talk, text, surfing, streaming vids, etc.) Your mileage may vary.
At a little over 100 MB, though, I suggest grabbing WildChild LITE and giving it a try. Report your findings back here.
p.s. Here's a great reference as to the workings of CPU govs/scheds. You'll see that the Scary gov was designed with battery life from the ground-up.

If you were using a Sense-based Gingerbread ROM and your phone is S-ON, then the answer is almost certainly yes. Simply restore both your APKs and your data, and all should be well.
If you're S-OFF and performed some funky low-level mods on your phone, then all bets are off. My best advice here would simply be to try it and see. Since you've already got backups, I don't see the problem in trying. Report your findings back here for others to see/learn.
Thanks,

Haha... yes, I set that ring on fire... the phone is named WiLDFiRE, after all!
And, sticking with that theme, I do in fact have a burning animation on bootup. Download it and check it out. That is also custom-coloured by me (I didn't create the animation itself, but I tinted it red to give it a soothing firey look. I love it and I hope you do, too. )
I'm in the middle of grabbing some more screenshots and that will be one of them.

I did tried it already the rom that i used to have is "EQDKPv4.9 multi deodexed"
and all the data is restored now and now am restoring the sd-ext partition... and i saw someone asking about the arabic language it does exist but the problem with it is that the letters are seperated not connected which is hard to read it but i believe there is a thread somewhere here in the xda forum that help you fix that issue
now after am having fun with your rom i have this issue with the accounts & sync that it doesn't work always force stop i believe you removed this option for increasing the ram and the internal space am i right ?
if so how can i enable this back because i always backup my contacts to google and would like to do facebook sync so i can get the profile pictures of my friends to the phone contact list...
cheers man nice rom

This rom looks nice. i would use it but sense lockscreen really upsets me

[ROM][NAND] [No longer being developed] GBX0* + 3.4.41 kernel - update 04/25/13

First I would like to give credit to everyone who has worked on GBX0* in any way. ACL, arrrghhh, detule, and Stinger22 to name a few important faces around here. I do not take credit for 99% of this. It is a modded version of the GBX already published on XDA.
Stinger22 is responsible for building the killer new kernel. I packaged the kernel into a boot.img and collected all the compatible updates into a single installable Zip with lots of tweaks.Stinger22 deserves big thanks for his work here.
There will be limited support for this build. Feel free to ask questions, and even better if you can help answer them. If you know how to fix something that is broken I would love to hear from you. I would be happy to include anything that you can contribute.
Due to the number of people unhappy with the RHOD100s phones and this rom, we do not recommend it for the RHOD100s (not that we ever did as we only have RHOD400s to test with).
New install guide.
Now what you came for:
GBX*
Includes:
GBX 5-8-12 lib update.
Slightly smoother boot animation used.
Build.prop tweaks.
Added a couple of ringtone/media sounds.
Superuser replaced with SuperSU .97
Modded audio.conf file to allow for the streaming of media metadata from apps like Pandora when the advanced menu / car bluetooth mode is enabled in the app. Also this change should allow for more Bluetooth devices to connect to the phone. Does only appear to support AVRCP 1.0, so no metadata without extra app support. However track forward/back/pause will work with some setups.
Added circle battery icons with %s for more precise gauging. Shows in 5% blocks. What you see is +/-3% of what the battery is really reporting. Based off the themes here. It is better than a half filled bar IMHO. It might take a full discharge or two before the battery gague/acl code becomes accurate. The battery also tends to drop quickly in the first 10% and then levels off.
RHOD300 keyboard fix. Credit to Detule
Changed RHOD100 from default keyboard to RHOD100_UK keyboard map.
Fix to ramdisk to resolve error reported during boot.
Fix to bluetooth main.conf to prevent bluetooth media devices from crashing OS. *only included in the 3.4.26.1 and newer full build*
-Still have issues where connecting/disconnecting the sink device can sometimes cause the phone to reboot. Seems sink device dependent. Mostly fixed in 3.4.26.13
Fixed bluetooth typo bug to 3.4.26.1 in 3.4.26.11
Boot animation in 3.4.26.13 credit.
3.4.17 Kernel update:
Including ACL's newer battery code.
More accurate readings from battery gague.
Maybe slightly better sleep battery usage.
Small Bluetooth fix (I find paring to be easier).
Kernel panic fix that may help prevent phone lockup if apps crash.
Many other small patches.
Fixed USB detection issue in 3.4 kernels.
Overclocking still supported. (SetCPU is free to XDA members)
Added a hack supplied by detule to prevent the sd card reader from suspending to prevent unexpected sd card removal errors.
Added a kernel splash screen to cover up some of the rolling text during boot time. Credit.
Sleep works with wifi turned on. - Battery life should improve where wifi prevented sleep before. Wifi tethering will prevent wifi sleep.
Zoom slider bar now works. Acts like a two finger touch moving from the center of the screen. If you tap on the zoom bar it will be just like tapping in the middle of your screen. Something to keep in mind if you get unexpected touches while holding the bottom of your phone. More benefit than a draw back IMHO. Added permission files. Link at bottom for those who just need this (based off of mankineko's work).
3.4.24 Kernel *minor update*
Includes updates from source.
Added code to cause system to reboot rather than hang from a system crash.
3.4.26 Kernel
Reboot function in shutdown menu has been fixed (power off is still broken)
Host file is no longer over written on boot up. This had been preventing ad blocker apps from working correctly.
ACL's panel code has been used. Hopefully this will resolve some issues for the RHOD100 users. We have no way to test, so it is as-is.
Auto brightness has been fixed. You may need to press the power button and force the lcd off, after it has been enabled, before it will take effect.
Device name is no longer reported as 00000000 by ADB. It should show as the serial number.
3.4.35 Kernel
Slight performance tweaks.
Added CrossBreeder mod. Basically helps tethering internet.
Added "Smartassv2" cpu governor. Can be set using apps like SetCPU. Should be slightly better performance, but may come at the cost of battery life.
Added "row" scheduler.
3.4.41 Experimental Rhod400 Kernel.
Shutdown working
Fps limit fixed, plus a slight gpu performance boost (previously was benching about 19fps for both 2d/3d, now I'm getting up to 60fps 2d, 26fps 3d)
Enabled more compiler optimizations. Kernel is slightly larger, but seems to perform a bit better
USB: No need to plug/unplug once before adb works, faster cable connection detection
Other miscellaneous tweaks that may or may not help battery life
Known bugs:
Many of these bugs are found in the 3.X kernels, and so they may be found here too.
MMS does not work out of the box. Add this APN info if you want it.
Google maps newer than 5.9 shows graphic distortions with street names, and other graphic issues sometimes. Waze is a good gps alternative if you want something with more features.
Shutdown and reboot options on the power button menu do not work.
Auto backlight does not work.
8-15-12 RIL update breaks radio (on CDMA for sure/no reports from GSM owners).
SD card unexpected removal errors when the phone wakes from sleep on *some* phones. -try a non SDHC sd card if all other standard troubleshooting fails. I have been able to use a 512mb and 1gb card micro sd card without issue. However all my 4,8,16, and 32gb micro SDHC cards have this issue. Hacked work around as of update 3.4.17.
May have to remove and reinsert USB cable a few times before the phone will recognize it has been plugged into a data port. Also you may need to turn features on/off to get the correct tethering/usb storage/usb debug to work correctly.
No front facing camera support for RHOD100.
Deleting bluetooth.apk may be necessary to get the phone to connect to some Bluetooth devices that have any advanced features.
If Bluetooth is left on and the phone is rebooted/crashes, the unit may bootloop. I have not found a fix other than reloading the Rom from recovery.
This bug seems to effect A2DP and other audio streaming devices the most v.s a bluetooth mono ear piece for calling with. This is a bug I have been able to repro on the GBX*+ 3.3.6 kernel as well. Make backups before using Bluetooth. If you are a CDMA user, you could try the original Ril from inside the GBX+3.x rom. It seemed to cause the reboot loop a little less. However GSM users must have the 5-8 Ril to use this Rom.
Found that this bug seems to be for devices that support multiple profiles. I have a Bluetooth receiver that will use phone and media profiles. If the phone profile is disabled the lock-ups do not happen. This work around will not let you use the phone features, but you can stream media. You need to pair the device. Then long touch it to get a to an options menu. Uncheck the phone profile option to stop the crashes when playing any media.
Sometimes if the phone locks up during the boot animation from this issue, then you reboot once or twice, and leave it alone for a long long time it will sometimes finally finish booting. It is worth a couple of reboots, and a lot of waiting vs reloading the rom. It also seems to help if you plug the phone into the usb on a computer after the boot process has passed the blue screen.
Pandora's internal/advanced bluetooth settings must be turned off, otherwise it may crash the phone on device disconnect.
Bluetooth is not 100% stable, and may crash the phone on connecting or disconnecting devices. During use it is stable.
If the phone crashes while bluetooth is turned on it may boot loop. If this happens connect the phone's usb port to a charger or usb port on a computer. This should cause it to boot correctly on the next time around.
Sprint phones must be activated on the Sprint network in WM before loading Android. Android can not activate everything correctly.
It has been reported that the keymap for the RHOD300 is not correct.
Not an Android bug, but Sprint DNS services are crap. I found good working links not working correctly due to bad dns info. Of course you can use any public dns server you like.
A suggestion for getting your own dns in more easily is this App.
If you tether on Sprint I suggest that you put your own DNS server in under the TCP/IP settings on client device as it will only use sprint's by default. I leaned this the hard way.
RHOD100 WIFI may not reconnect to access point automatically upon waking from sleep. Disable and reconnect to work around.
This Rom was only tested on the Sprint TP2 RHOD400. It will probably work on any that worked with the GBX0* + 3.3.x kernel, but we can't promise it.

New install guide.
Old install directions for all other NAND roms.
It is assumed that you have unlocked your phone. If not read here and/or here, and/or here.
If you are running the 8-15 ril that was patched, and you are unable to get a cell signal, I would highly suggest that you install the older patch ril file.
If you want to add just the permission files for the zoom bar (and a few other things) rather than downloading the whole thing again here they are. When I did this it broke Zeam. I had to add another launcher, and then switch between the two. That fixed it for me.
As always BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP before doing anything. Please use at your own risk.

Most recent recovery thread. - this recovery creates a md5 error on a backup's restore. Anyone know how to fix it?
ACL's known good recovery.
Good chance you will need to calibrate your touch screen. This thread covers that,and how to make it stick.
I may have found a launcher that is more lightweight than Zeam from what I can tell. I am running Lighting Launcher, and am quite happy. Seems to have an even smaller memory footprint, which is great for phones without much memory.
Swapper2 app. This is an interesting thing I found the other day. It allows you to use your SD card for swap (Virtual ram). I did verify that a 64mb swap file (did not test swap partition) can work on our phones. I would love to hear some feedback from people who might be interested in playing with it. I would suggest a Micro sd card with a high random read/write speed. Here is a guide that is already made if you want to use a swap partition rather than a swap file. It will probably wear out your sd card faster, but sd cards are cheap these days. Also note that SD storage vie USB may not work if you use this mod.
Update.
I got out my 32gb high random speed sd card today, and I whipped up a swap partition according to the guide above. I bumped the swappyness setting to 100. I was in a generous mood, so I lopped off 1gb of space for swap (256mg would have probably been a better choice). I did get a name error when I enabled it, but it seemed to work just fine. The swap space of 1gb showed up by the free command, and the swap space showed use after I ran a few apps. It is a subjective observation, but I think multitasking is a little smoother. I plan on leaving it setup like this for now.

I did manage to max out the cpu, and crash the system resulting in a reboot. I was running two gps apps, and two music apps, and two or three other apps all at the same time (abit poorly though). It might not have liked having multiple apps access the same resources.
Here is a handy app for rebooting the phone quickly, and entering into recovery.

If you are tired of the white HTC splash screen here are two nbh files you can flash just like a rom from the SD card. They should only touch the splash screen. Everything else is left alone. Flash one, or both in any order. These probably work on other Rhod phones, but I have no way to test them. So no screaming if something gets bricked. Based off the work in this thread. Reported not working on RHOD100 by this post. Reported working on RHOD300 here.
If you know of an image (480x800 res) that is even more amazing than these, and you feel it would be a good replacement drop me a link to it. If I love it, it will make it to the first post. Otherwise I might just whip one up special for you for contributing.

As of 3-25-13 I have moved onto the EG4G/SII phone after reading about it and SERO legacy at Howardforums.
I will stop in from time to time, and if I am given a newer kernel I will post it. However I will no longer be using this phone.
So long, and thanks for all the fish.

i tried a lil last night and today on your lite version. had a few issues with it but i think that was caused by my mistake. i know you said NO support with the lite version. so later on today im gonna try the "full" one without any of my added stuff.
thank you for your time in putting this together for us and everyone else who kept this old phone working so long.
edit: i have rhodium 400 btw

You are welcome to ask questions about the light version. Just don't *expect* any help with it. If I know the answer I will respond. Sorry if I came across as stern. Someone else might know the answer too.
I wanted to set the tone to be caveat emptor (to quote Stinger22). As the lite version is missing a whole lot it might be broken, or broken by anything. It is just something I whipped up to play with, and decided to share incase someone else wanted to play.
I am glad to keep up the fight. These are still great phones, even if they don't play the newest games.
Thanks for your comments.

hi again. i did the lite version again with my tweaks... meaning i hate using goole play or any of the google apps in general (privacy concerns deleted apk's after flash and successful boot).
im currently using it on my rhodium without service (have two, one on sprint service). so i cant confim it works in those aspects. wifi works otb. didnt try blue tooth. camera works as expected. didnt try audio/video yet (we all know rhod dont have HW support lol). miss the keyboard but can install if needed. couldnt for the life of me figure out how to use the modded zeam you suggested (not a deal breaker i like the orginal one). decent battery life but not what i expected. phone went from 8 hrs @ 70% then down to 10% within next hour. turn off dont work so well sometimes it wrks most times not. on [ACL]'s rom ive been using app called "quick boot" to bypass this goofy activity. works like a charm from widget.
can this be reworked into a gsm phone? kinda know i need to security unlock. but what im getting at return to winmo, change security, finda gsm phone provider, reflash this rom and good to go? or just skip those crazy ideas lol?
again thank you for the rom you shared with us :good:

Most of Google's stuff was left in place because more people than not consider accessing the Google account info critical. Even if only for contacts and such. Matter of personal choice I say.
I cut the keyboard APKs as we have a physical keyboard. You can just side load them or put them back in the install zip. I am using the ICS keyboard from the market. I like it better for my virtual keyboard with a stone bold theme.
This is based off the GBX* rom, so it should probably work with the GSM variants of the the RHODs. I didn't dev the new kernel, but it should work. You could try the most recent ril, but I know it breaks cdma phones. The most recent ril had a GSM signal loss tweak in it. I don't know of any security you need to deal with, and I can't recall coming across any comments in the original GBX* thread about that.
If you are talking about unlocking the sim so you can use a CDMA device on a GSM network, that is unrelated to the rom for the most part.
If you are running the lite version I posted, just uninstall Zeam with something like titanium backup, and replace it with the apk that is linked.
Otherwise you could swap it out in the zip file before you install. It is located in /system/apps.
If you manually delete the apk from the phone /system/app and paste the new one into it's place while Zeam is running it will probably require a reboot before Zeam works. Probably not the best way to go about it assuming nothing explodes.
If you can't get it to work I can make up a version with the other ICS themed zeam.
Maybe that will help a bit.
*edit*
Been fooling around a little with the modded Zeam on the lite version. For some reason it doesn't install the icons right if there is not a non-zeam launcher running. *shrug*
I installed launcher2 apk from the full rom for the install. Then was able to side load the modded zeam.
*edit 2*
I posted an ultra lite rom with the classic launcher.

im not happy with google selling my info so i refuse to give them any space on my phone lol
i tried the modded zeam all the ways i could think of, before flash, after flash, through adb didnt matter. maybe corrupt apk?
no worries. ill try to redownload it and try it your way with launcher2 first
~unlocking the sim so you can use a CDMA device on a GSM network... yeah im not looking forward to paying to sim unlock it
but i am hella glad you got the zoom bar working :good:.

Be ok with loosing the money. Some people have reported that they didn't get the unlock info, and the dev for that is next to impossible to get to respond.
You might check this thread. Not sure if they got it working.
Most of the credit goes to Stinger22. The man is kicking some serious code butt!
I would try re-downloading the apk. I was able to install it with a adb install. Not sure what else it could be. Did you hold your tongue just right while dancing madly during the install?

You do realize where Android is coming from... Right? lol
Regardless, kudos on getting the zoombar to work - I was hoping someone would take mankineko's work there and adapt it... Glad it did not get forgotten!

Zoombar!!
Wow. Great work! I can't wait to try this when I get back from vacation.
If someone asked me to make a list of features I wanted to see in android on the rhodium it would go something like this:
1 Zoom bar
2 Zoom bar
3 ZOOM BAR!
Seriously never thought I would see it happen again though, so one more time; Great Work and Thank You!
(Sorry, I just didn't feel that the 'thanks' button alone was enough this time :laugh

Oh sweet, the zoom bar works now? I'd been hoping for that one. XD It's a shame I've moved on, but I may pull out the ol' TP2 as a backup device.

I have one question, does the kernel supports overclocking, and if yes to what frequency?
Thanks

Yes, overclocking is supported. This should be the same as 3.3.6. I believe the frequency range you can choose from is 122-825. Download your favorite overclocking app from the market, and have at it. I use quick cpu overclock lite.
*edit. I think we have some new governor options. Link for descriptions.

i havent tried to OC past 710 on my rhodium 400. but ive never been able to stay stable much past that on any rom. cpu jus freezes up past that on this phone for me.

710 is a respectable overclock. As all overclocking is concerned, YMMV. No one has a way to predict the speed you will be able to overclock to successfully. You might try reading this or this thread if you want to be educated on overclocking the TP2. Overclocking is usually 99% hardware limited. The rom you run is not likely to have much influence.

oops i do have a addon to this... i have two rhodium 400's both are sprint versions. the one that doesnt have have service is the one i test roms with. i believe it is an early made phone and thats why the limit of OC is kinda low. i can do 729 and 748 sometimes but why risk the ~40 mhz for stabililty (app i use is setcpu and this GBX0* rom). now the second one i have was a referb one and does have service. build date is much later and i can OC it over 800mhz but i usually only set it for 787mhz. again why risk the ~20mhz for stablility. (same setcpu but [ACL]'s OMGB rom). basically i agree with wizardknight its HW limited and the luck of the draw.
goodtimes guys!:good:
side note: (related to second rhodium, first one works fine with zoom bar) any way to port this to acl's rom? i used the flash from OP but the zoom bar is no go. heck idk if the zoom bar even works on this phone. guess ill be doing a flash dance on the one the zoom bar works. wizard i know it not your rom jus thought id ask again thank you for putting this together.

I am assuming that you mean OMGB by ACL's rom. To the best of my knowledge there is no way to port the feature without building your own kernel. It is my understanding that the 3.x kernels (what we use) are not compatible with that rom. OMGB userland is no longer receiving updates, so unless another dev adopts that rom it will never work.
I will take the 1% credit for this rom. I have done behind the scenes, packaging, some Bluetooth mods, and testing stuff. The other 99% goes to everyone (esp Stinger22) who has worked on it before me or with me.
On the phone that the zoom bar is not working, did you download that rom zip before or after 11-3? I didn't change the file names or links with the last update. You might try downloading the perms file at the end of the post, and installing that. Otherwise I would re-download, wipe, and reinstall.
If you are still having trouble let me know, and I will go check the zips to make sure that something didn't get busted in the last round of updates.
