[BUILD] **Complete FroYo Bundle** FRX07.1 - Maintenance Release - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development

FRX07.1 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.

stinebd's Changelog:​
stinebd said:
Here’s a new release for you, folks. This is a major release with a ton of changes, new features, and fixes. Our friend hyc/highlandsun did most of the heavy lifting for this release. Highlights include a rewritten RIL with support for world phones and greatly improved CDMA support; fixes for the media codecs; fixes for MMS on Sprint; increased security with the Superuser app.
A list of changes is included below. The FRX07 system image is available for download now, and will require the use of a new rootfs image, also available now. Additionally, we have a new bundle containing everything needed to enjoy a full FRX07 system.
Note: Due to the incredibly long list of changes, this is a somewhat condensed, terse changelog describing only the overall scope of the changes.
FRX07:
frameworks/base:
Major frameworks changes for CDMA/GSM dual-mode worldphone support. (hyc)
Fixes for data connection handling to improve startup time. (hyc)
Fixes for wifi handling to avoid issues on hanged drivers. (hyc)
Stagefreight (media codecs) fixes. (hyc/viruscrazy)
Fixes for Sprint’s wonky MMS markup structure. (hyc)
Fix MediaScanner not finding audio files (including ringtones) in system.ext2
hardware/libhardware_legacy:
Minor GPS driver fixes. (Alex[sp3dev])
Rename wifi interfaces to wlan0 on all devices (hyc)
hardware/xdandroid-ril: Major RIL refactoring for improved performance on all devices, and added CDMA/GSM dual-mode worldphone support. (hyc)
packages/apps/Gallery3D: Switched back to Gallery3D as the gallery app (closes bug #111)
packages/apps/Mms: Fixes for Sprint’s wonky MMS markup structure. (hyc)
packages/apps/Phone: Fixes for CDMA/GSM dual-mode worldphone support. (hyc)
packages/apps/Superuser: Added the Superuser package for authorizing su privileges. This, along with our signed builds, provides greatly increased security for the end user (mostly against malicious apps from the Market).
system/extras/su: Added as a dependency for the Superuser package
vendor/qcom/android-open: Include missing stagefright codec symbols. (hyc/viruscrazy)
To coincide with the FRX07 system image, the following rootfs changes have been made:
init.froyo.rc modifications...
Adjust wpa_supplicant service for the new abstraction provided by libhardware_legacy, as well as interface rename
Abstract the hciattach service to provide bluetooth support on both chipsets
Rename wifi interface to wlan0 on all devices
apns-conf.xml updated
keymaps completely reorganized, and RHOD end-call key has been remapped to be the Home key in Android.
default.prop: set ro.secure=1 to lock down the adb shell - su can be used with the Superuser app to authorize root access in adb if needed.

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. See Detule's post on this topic.
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

Caveats:​
BT - works now! 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...
NOTE: BT must be disabled in WinMo before booting Android or else you'll run into all sorts of odd issues...
WEP on wifi doesn't work. I heard an app called 'wifi-ace' (on the Market) fixes WEP!
If auto-brightness is enabled, the keyboard/button lights will fail at random. See this post for more scant details .

And to that effect, I would like to personally apologize to everyone for how long it took. Life has been crazy busy the past couple months. Hopefully we'll get GRX01 out in a more timely manner.

Woooohooooo!!! Thanks to all of the dev's on this, Stine, Hyc, Emwe, Arrrghhh (for putting up with all the BS!), and anyone else involved.

Can't wait to try this out. Thanks to all who contributed =)

Ah yea... I need to test this on a RAPH800 I just got my hands on, thanks for reminding me!

Quick question. Prior to right now I've been running Hyc's 5/30 build very successfully and very happily. With that build, sound was working when recording a video. With the new FRX07, no sound comes when recording a video. Any ideas on how to get the sound to work with recording video on FRX07?

His build has the new acoustic code seen here. It routes audio in a much better fashion, for sure... but it's not stable. Still needs some work, so it's not in FRX07...

Thank you sir!

Big thanks to every one on the dev team for FRX07. You guys are awesome.
Just extracted FRX07 on to a newly formatted sdcard, copied startup & calib from FRX06 and when I launch haret, i get the following error.
"Error reading file. Expected 4096 got 0"
Anyone know what it means? Search did not turn up many useful hits.

Figured out...Had a corrupt zimage file. Able to launch now.

After a few hours of testing, great job!
The battery status actually tracks really close to where windows mobile says it should be. It also seems to go to sleep, and stay sleeping!
The only thing that's keeping me from using it full time is the phone and speaker phone have noticeable static that windows mobile doesn't have. Does the beta audio routing fix this, or are there some new settings I can try?
I also love the recent apps on end long press, fancy

First Impressions
Coming from FroyoB Hercules, this is a step up in my opinion. A HUGE step up.
I am running the Tilt2 with a 2GB Class 2 SD card and the provided FRX07 package .zip.
The build is running smooth and silky (making me have more faith in looped builds heh heh) with slight overclocking (633.600MHz). Had one hot reboot while accessing the Notification bar at the same time Market was updating Google apps, but after that the updates proceeded without issue. Everything else has yet to be tested, but I'm sure I won't run into anything major.
I'm 110% satisfied running the build. Accessing menus is quick and not laggy at all. To me, that's what's important: user functionality. You guys nailed it big time, and for that I thank you all very much. I won't be using CWM for a looong while
EDIT: Figured I'd list what is and isn't working for me. Again, I'm using all the default components like kernel and whatnot on the Tilt2 and have the phone overclocked to 710.400MHz now:
WiFi - Works
Data - Works (most stable I've experienced)
Bluetooth - Works (haven't tried headset)
WiFi HotSpot - Buggy; Turns on, but disabling keeps the notification icon and enabling again causes reboot. Different kernel doesn't fix.
USB Tethering - Works/Turns On (Don't have the driver to test quite yet )
Camera/Camcorder - Works (Camcorder doesn't record sound.. known issue?)
Phone - Works flawlessly
MMS - Incoming/Outgoing Works

Come from FroyoB Hercules v2.
Any possible to run FRX07 on CWM?

FRX07 on cwm is being worked on by Eodun,wich sadly yesterday released FRX06 for cwm

I would bet that the new audio routing stuff fixes the static problems. It definitely cleaned things up for me. But at this point I think we need a newer kernel in addition to the new audio libraries, the stuff in that audio routing thread is rather out of date at the moment.
I've been running most of this stuff for more than a month without issues. It's definitely going to be a lot more solid than any previous builds...

Desire build for Kaiser (SENSE)

Here is a desire build I have been tinkering around with for a long while. There are several several issues still in need of work so I am going to leave it to the community to help me out.
I failed to mention this is a full NAND install
I will get some screen shots up as soon as I can get time.
Much faster and much more responsive in my opinion than the legend / hero / mytouch builds
Here it is in a nutshell
- I am not a hardcore developer I have just been using existing files and putting something together that works most optimal. This build has a lot of polymod, and mssmison mixed.
- Hardware keyboard does not work correctly while using Rosie, disable Touch Input to correct this issue. Also speeds up system somewhat.
- clock.sh is in /system/bin use at your own risk It is only there for those that wish to use it is not enabled at boot. Modify sysinit.rc for this
- Disable vibrate on ring and quiet when phone is moved helps with incoming calls
- This build will leave approximately 37mb of free space for data, I do store apps on SD but it is a little unorthodox maybe someone can do better than me. I create an app folder on sdcard and symlink to it. I do not recommend this but I will be upgrading soon and could careless about damaging my cards they are old.
- Livewallpapers are questionable I don't use them or like them If they dont work and you want them then you are welcome to work on their developement.
- Bluetooth not working Help Please
- Wifi not working Help Please
- Widgets may need influenced to work just go to applications / manage applications / Find HTC Sense and Force stop and Clear Data if widgets do not load on boot.
- First boot takes an extreme amount of time.
- CompCache is disabled use it if you will I find that it causes stability issues try to keep the mem size down to 28 or less if you use it.
- Media folder is not built into this system it is included in the download just add it to your sdcard should look like this /sdcard/media
ONCE AGAIN I AM NOT A DEVELOPER I WILL WORK ON WHAT IS OUTSTANDING AS I GET TIME. I MAY OR MAY NOT MAINTAIN THIS BUILD IF YOU HAVE A FIX FOR ISSUES PLEASE PM ME I WILL UPDATE FIRST POST TO REFLECT THE FIX AND BY WHO.

This is an old build, mssmison put it out as a sdcard install on the vogue a long time ago before the legend builds were put out. I kept hold of it and tweaked it to work on my kaisers nand. That is why it looks much different than the most recent builds
Post it in the vogue forum. They get more attention so easier chance of a wifi/bluetooth update.

Try this (NOT TESTED!). I actually think just putting the correct wlan.ko in /system/lib/modules might be all it takes but I included the usual stuff just in case.

PREPARE YOUR SD CARD
1-FORMAT YOUR SD CARD TO FAT32. FULL FORMAT
2-DOWNLOAD FROYO 2.2.2 BLAZN
3-UNZIP IT INTO YOUR SD CARD. ANDBOOT OR TO ROOT SD CARD
4-USE YOUR STARTUP.TXT FOR YOUR DEVICES. ADD THIS COMMAND YOUR STARTUP. rel_path=andboot.
5- for cdma devices. add this command for the camera on your startup. board-htcrhodium.is_cdma=1.
for gsm devices. add this command for the camera on your startup. board-htcrhodium.is_gsm=0.
FOR CDMA PHONES. REMOVE THE SIM CARD
6- for cdma & gsm devices make sure you have this command on your startup for data. force_cdma=1. for gsm devices is force_cdma=0
SETTUP FROYO 2.2.1 BLAZN FOR THE FIRST TIME
1. On WinMo, navigate to the andboot or root sd card folder on your SD card and launch haret.exe.
2. First boot will take several minutes for the data.img to be created... Be patient... enjoy the animation.
3. Do not touch. Wait for green light, you are at the home screen. Wait for green light.
4. Open Spare Parts and change End button behavior to go to home
5. Go to to Settings - Call setting and set up your voice mail for sprint,verizon. etc..
6. Go to Settings - Sound. Test the volume settings, test phone ringtones and notification ringtones
7. Go to Settings - Display-Brightness. automatic brightness. screen timeout set it to 10 minutes
8. Go to Settings - Location & security- Enable use wireless networks and gps
9. Go to Settings - Applications- Enable unknown sources
10. Go to Settings - Language & keyboard - Set your language or use more locale 2 to add language. Press the menu key and follow the screen.
11. Go to Accessibility. this is the power button ends call. check it
12. Now you can sync your phone by going to Settings - Setting account & sync
13. Let the phone sync. Do not touch. Wait for green light
14. Open all apps to get full performance. Make sure all apps fully open.
* DO NOT OPEN CAMERA.APK UNTIL YOU HAVE SWITCHED TO THE CAMERA KERNEL ON FUTURE BOOTS
* Open the market app LAST - allow it to do updates for existing apps
15. Boot back to WinMo
16. Open File Explorer; you can now switch to the camera, 1250 or 1253 kernel located in the files folder; just copy the zImage and modules*.tar.gz to the andboot folder level.
* files\first boot zimage and modules 1276 - kb backlight
17. Boot haret, alway wait for green light. Make a test call, send a text, tell someone to call you. Tell someone to send you a text.
Requirements:
* Your WinMo needs to be running at stock speed (528Mhz); DO NOT OVERCLOCK under WinMo before booting to Android, it will just crash. Don't ask how, it just doesn't work. You need to be running WinMo at stock speed since your last boot; you can't just throttle it down to stock speed and then launch Android.
* Optional but recommended: backup the data on your SD card, format it using SD Formatter as FAT32, restore your data on it, and create the Froyo X distribution with the instructions below.

hi, guys. UPDATE ON BT
my best friend leave 25 miles from me. he got a blackstone phone. he just call me. he said he can use BT on his car.
i add it info on the build.prop about BT, i add it permission for BT on system/etc and on my startup.txt i add it this line hw_bt.enable=1. i told him to enable BT on WM first.
don't know if this works, i don't have BT on my card.
his going to call me later to confirm what he did.
thanks
sounds good !
I have a blackstone and can't wait to test this version!
Thanks a lot for your amazing work on android for our htc phones!
Update BLAZN
Well guys. I been testing the new blazn. I just got to tell you guys, I'm really impress with this build. This build it so good and fast, I'm listening to pandora while I'm writing this words.
You guys will get. A mix of 3 diffrerent build. FRX03, FROYO X, AND BLAZN. I use the speed of froyo x, to get fast data, like 3g, market, market download, and a fast browser. I use the stability of frx03 to get a very stable build, and I use the blazn theme to give this build the final look. Look amazing
Thanks

Do you think you can me a favor and let me know what in FROYO X makes data faster? I had some complaints that all the XDAndroid builds are much more stable, but much slower on 3g. Wifi they said is about the same, but I've had complaints that 3g is significantly slower. If there is something we can do to improve that on the XDAndroid builds, I'd love to apply it. Thanks!

You can try, but no promises. Usually when you go between system images you need a new data.img.
If you have weird odd issues, delete your data.img. That's troubleshooting step #1 if you have issues that nobody else does.
Titanium Backup makes it much easier.

[TESTING] XDAndroid GBX0C 2.3.7 Build

Hey folks,
This is a completely new build, with all the new changes baked in. We wanted to do a semi-official test release to collect bugs and hopefully do a formal official release with everything settled. The main pain point is the CSV files (see pre-install prep).
So a brief overview:
New acoustic routing code baked in. Should fix most if not all audio routing problems, and will provide more debugging if stuff does go wrong. Also allows for more granular tweaking, see the CSV files.
GPS fixes for GB - GPS not only works in GB now, but it doesn't kill sleep! I was able to use GPS, get a solid lock, and put the device to sleep no problem.
BT should work & well with the new acoustic code. Post results.
RHOD users now have a choice of kernels. .35+ all have the new acoustic - so .35, .39, 3.0 and 3.1 are all fair game now... This is bundled with .27!!
Keep in mind, autobuild .27 kernels will produce no audio in this build... Obviously the bundled kernel will work, and the absolute newest .27 autobuild kernel does work now - Feb.27 2012 or newer.
rootfs tweaks - first, it will detect which kernel you're on (.27 or .35+) and automatically apply the correct firmware. Second, is it will always copy/extract the modules... failures there were getting annoying, and this is surefire if brute-force...
Few Easter egg apk's...
Probably a lot I'm forgetting, this might change
Pre-Install Prep REQUIRED!!!​
This step is crucial, and I forgot all about it! You must copy all of the *.CSV file from your WinMo ROM - these are in the \Windows\ directory. There's a very easy way to do this. It involves the Total Commander app for WinMo (Direct Link for the perpetually lazy...) (included in EnergyROM and others probably).
Now you're in Total Commander looking at your \Windows\ directory. Whew... lots of files. Fear not! Hit the "CTRL" button, then the green "Plus" button. This opens the Select/Unselect files dialog. Put in *.csv, press "select" and voila. All CSV files are selected. Now - File -> Copy/Move -> I want you to copy these (should be 10) files to the ROOT of your SD card. No folders!!! This is hardset right now, until we get it all implemented into the build properly. Thanks!
Install​
Assuming you've done the pre-install prep; this is installed just like the other XDAndroid builds - grab your startup.txt (don't forget rel_path= if you don't have it at the root of the SD!), ts-calibration and boot!
Download
Caveat List​​
CDMA users might get a crash in phone.apk and no service on boot. If waiting doesn't resolve the issue, then reboot. Should come up fine...
BT might still be flaky
The CSV files from a RAPH100 are attached for the lazy. I'd like to gather CSV's from each RHOD, I'm curious if any ROM devs have changed them out either... This could get interesting. If you folks don't mind, post up your CSV's, point out differences with mine, etc... We're trying to figure out how to unify these, if possible! Thanks!
Please post back any issues, enjoy!

Test device: RAPH100 running latest NRG build w/sencity
Using everything supplied in the previous posts above minus my ts-calib file; everything seems to work on my RAPH100 (I'm not sure it matters that it has the orange brand on the back cover). Also, this does include sound! I booted without a SIM (yes, this is a GSM version RAPH). The first time I booted, it rebooted to winmo; second time was the charm.
Additional info(statistical maybe?):
Time to boot animation: 3 minutes
Time from boot animation to home: N/A (after 3 minutes my device rebooted to winmo on first try)
(Second trial)
Time to boot animation: 1 - 1.5 minutes (maybe 2 minutes?)
Time from boot animation to home: S/A (same as above)
*Successful boot to lock screen after second boot* (I wonder should this be expected behavior?)
NOTES: Hard keys "Home" and "left arrow"/back key remain highlighted after activated but deactivate after playing around(for the lack of a better word) and/or screen times out. (My opinion)At the very least it doesn't go crazy like earlier froyo builds. Also note that wifi should be working (works on mine) with this build and kernel package (included with package). (I like)New power off boot menu (long press of power key brings this up while short press seems to turn off screen, as usual). "Silent mode" (as expected), "Airplane mode" (as expected), "Kexec" (not sure yet, seems to be the same as "Reboot" or probably vise versa?), "Reboot" brings you all the way back before boot animation and "Power Off" (as expected).
Still test driving (more to come!)

So reboot didn't work properly?
Let's focus on what's changed. Audio mainly... I do appreciate the report tho .
Kexec is for swapping kernels. This way you can swap kernels and not have to go back to WinMo... Goooogle it .
I ran it for a day, and had no audio problems
only had a few small problems:
it did reboot once
orientation is inverted but i never use auto rotate
market is kinda slow
Edit:
had another reboot during gps app, and i think previous reboot might also have been while gps app was opend
but audio seems to be perfect atm

DIAM100
So I've been in the Windows Mobile for quite sometime, came back and noticed the new Gingerbread Build, and it runs fine thus far... I have two issues, no google maps or facebook (incompatible with this device)? Is this something new, or unique to gingerbread?
Problem Solved...
An update to my previous post... changing the DPI back to 240 in startup.txt has resolved the problem.
I really want to try this, as the FRX build lacked the ability to use Bluetooth. Only problem is, I have no .csv files in my WinMo directory. I am running the Energy Sense ROM 2.5 29017.
What do I do now? Do I really need those files?
EDIT: Never mind. I'm an idiot! But I do only have 5 .csv files.
I have it running now, but I get no audio from the phone. Also, bluetooth pairs but I get no audio from it either.
I have a RAPH800, BTW.

I've also only 5 .csv files in my windows folder:
AudioFilterTable.csv
AudioPara.csv
AudioPara3.csv
AudioPreProcessTable.csv
TIAGC.csv
In the second posting from arrrghhh you will find the *.csv for the RAPH100 in a zip archive (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20869601&postcount=2 - it contains only 4 .csv files).
I've tested this Release on my RAPH100 and it is running well.
- Phone works
- Audio works
- Wireless works
- Camera works
On my phone, the hardware buttons light up irregularly (without touching or pressing them - see attachement). The result is that the focus on the screen jumps back and forth. This happens at irregular intervals. Has anyone else this problem?
(I think) It's a design flaw by HTC. This has been a long standing bug even without Android (it's just not as apparent in winmo) and unless we can figure out how to either ignore the additional key pressing being picked up by the touchpad sensor or possibly ignore the touchpad altogether, we may just have to "deal" with it as is. However, I think this is starting to get away from the actual intent of the XDAndroid team's intent to find out about noting any audio irregularities with these files. I'm guessing we either need to start posting our csv files or figuring out what the differences in changing the values mean in terms of audio(or perhaps both?). I really haven't had the time to do much testing aside from describing my experience with loading the GB test bundle.

Eh, we really just want to know if there are any dramatic differences in the CSV's between devices - XDAndroid tries really hard to support WAY too many devices .
So this thread is mainly to find out if all our new changes dramatically break any one device. Doesn't seem like it... so the next step is to aggregate all the CSV's together (why I asked everyone to post theirs) and see if we can make a big mix of them, or if we'll have to do it similar to the keyboard layout where each device gets its own folder... then it gets into proper variant detection, etc. Hairy!
But yes, the touch panel issue has ALWAYS been present folks. Let's not rehash old bugs, that doesn't do anyone a darn bit of good. Thanks!!

I haven't heard from this issue before. So it is good to know that.
I've compared your 4 csv files with mine (RAPH 100 - running with Energy ROM 29022) and there is no difference between them.
I've one additional csv file in my windows folder (TIAGC.csv). If you need it I can upload it.
I have a RAPH800 (Sprint) and I was in the process of doing the Pre-install Prep with Total Commander to get the .csv files. However after copying the files to my SD card, I see only 5 files.
AudioFilterTable
AudioFilterTable_Raphael#C
AudioPara3
AudioPara3_Raphael#C
AudioPreProcessTable
I don't see the AudioPara file. Am I doing something wrong? What should I do?
Also I did a Beyond Compare comparison between the files from my phone and the downloaded RAPH100 files and the files are not the same.

Every phone model will probably have different files. You didn't do anything wrong. Just use the files for your device.

Not really no. Weren't really expecting one either, the only thing that changed was userland. Same kernel (for the most part).
Been running GBX0B 2.3.7 Build on Fuze since the 31st.
I didnt have 10 .csvs, so i just used the his zip. Took me 3 times to get a stable build, they kept self destructing.
Sound: Perfect
Gps: Faster than FRX07.1, when it worked. I justed stop using it
Data: Only used Wifi, works fine
I have a sim in the Fuze, but i have no service.
FRX07.1 would drain my battery over night even plugged in to the wall. GBX0B 2.3.7 fixed that.
I get alot longer battery life. I got maybe 5 (est) hours with FRX07.1, 8 - 10 (est) hours GBX0B 2.3.7
This is the BEST android build for fuze (and i have tried them all).
Smoother, little faster. GPS works alot better. I think we finally got a build we can run full time

Honestly the battery shouldn't be different at all. The kernel didn't change much at all in the battery saving or sucking department.
As always, if you use the device a lot - and use a lot of the hardware (GPS, wifi, etc) it will suck your battery dry.

[APP] SwitchMe Root Profile Manager needs GSII testers please!

Hi everyone. Im one of the developers of SwitchMe, and app that allows multiple secure logins into separate installations of android on a single device. The pr is after the break.
I really need a few people to check into some issues people on some ROMs have been experiencing. There are some warnings involved:
- testers must perform a full nandroid backup before using the app, it is not our responsibility if you start getting boot loops
- if you report results or bugs, please use the "Write to us" function in the app whenever possible, and always describe the issue in the header of the logs you send
- if you post here, bes sure to include your device type and rom
- if you have apps installed on sd, be sure to mention that as well
--------------------------------------------------------------------
SwitchMe is a unique application for root users that allows you to log in and out of multiple installations of Android just as you would on a desktop computer.
The technology behind SwitchMe saves all of your applications and data, protects it and stores it as a file in memory. You can then log out of an
account and log into a fresh installation of Android or another account with its own unique content.
You may create as many profiles as the memory is capable of holding. Some of these may require very little free memory because they contain few apps,
others will be larger as they contain many applications and lots of cache and data.
Why is this functionality useful?
Privacy - the most obvious benefit is that you can securely share one device among multiple users, which gives you privacy and peace of mind.
Testing - if you are a developer, you can use profiles as clean sandboxes to test your applications and their interaction with the system.
Gaming – with multiple installations of Android on a single device, you can now play online MMOs as different characters.
Speed - the games your kids play slow down your tablet, but with SwitchMe you can easily create profiles without games or instant messengers.
Battery life - when the battery is low but there are important emails or documents to edit later, switch to a profile which only contains these essentials.
These of course are only suggestions - there are plenty of other uses for the functionality SwitchMe offers.
Market link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.switchme
The Lite version allows the creation of two profiles, enough to test on.
Screens:
SwitchMe 1.2 has been rolled out and now includes a lockscreen replacement:
1.2
Added lock screen for logging in and out
More stable Fast switch implementation
Reworked UI colors
Now, its very important that we get some feedback on how this big new feature works, so please read up on it in the help and post your thoughts!
1.2.2 - HOTFIX 2
Reworked widget on qHD+ displays
Fixed widget text on HC and ICS
Fast switch improved on older devices
Nice, thanks!
Thank you! Any issues to report?
What do you think of yesterday's update?
1.4.3.7
Fixed device specific switch screen crashes and issues
Fixed UI bug in switch screen preferences
If anyohe had problems with superuser before, this should fix them. Please let me know if that is the case, its important we get some feedback here!
This is working perfectly with CyanogenMod 9. Will this continue to work if I update to a newer nightly?

I dont see why not. Just make sure you back up your profiles to the SD card if you do a wipe.
They are in /data/.profiles. Next release will have an im-app backup function.
1.5.3.0
Enabled full support for MIPS and x86 architectures
Many root daemon code fixes and optimizations implemented
Sorry backup is relegated to the next release.
Thought I should let you guys know of the issue I had with the paid version of this earlier.
Running Hyperdroid Androidmeda 6.1.17, I rebooted my phone and SwitchMe would ask me to log in, however it wouldn't list the username, wouldn't log in when I put the info in myself, and wouldn't even say the password was wrong when I entered it wrong on purpose. I tried multiple reboots etc, the issue persisted.
Unfortunately I don't have a logcat or anything since I was in a rush to get my phone working properly (had to leave soon) so I restored a nandroid from before I installed SwitchMe
This was all before the 1.5.3.0 release btw, happened last week.
Yes, that was hotfixed a few hours later. The main thread also has a flashable zip which will "unswitchme"
THANKS good

[ROM][5.0.2/LRX22G][AOSP][LINARO/OPTIMIZED] FML: Fork My Life (2015/01/08)

[#Intro]
Oh, and now there's these Lollipops I'm handing out. They are free as always, and they are very very delicious.
[#Why]
[#Info]
I need people testing and finding bugs if anything is going to be fixed. I might not have the Bluetooth devices you have, I might not use the camera as much as you, I might not use 4G LTE (or mobile data in general really) as much as you; you get the idea.
[#HowTo]
Latest Build​KitKat/Stable: N/A
KitKat/Beta: omni-4.4.4-20141015-toroplus-FML.zip (162.13 MB)
Lollipop/Beta: FML-AOSP-5.0-20150108-toroplus.zip (195.53 MB)
LOLLIPOP INFO:
USE THESE GAPPS: FML-GApps-5.0.x-20150101-tuna.zip (167.81 MB)
They are based on PA's GApps, huge thank you to them!
Known Issues
- Camera can be a little touchy, but it generally works.
Lollipop Changelogs can be found in the post below!
(KitKat) BETA INFO:
Beta builds are using updated GPU drivers (and an updated kernel to go with them) courtesy of @Ziyan, as well as being up to date with the latest stuff from OmniROM. NOTE: YOU CANNOT FLASH A DIFFERENT KERNEL WITH THESE BUILDS.
Currently broken with the new GPU drivers:
- Hardware Video Decoding FIXED 2014/10/06
- Hardware Video Encoding(?) FIXED 2014/10/08
- Camera (PARTIALLY) FIXED 2014/10/08
- The stock camera app (as well as Google Camera) has this weird quirk of crashing when pressing the shutter button to take a picture, however many different camera apps on the Play Store (in particular Camera ZOOM FX) work flawlessly. Video recording is generally OK, however I've been getting some reports of the audio and video being a little out of sync, so your mileage may vary...
See the Changelog post below for..... well..... changelogs.
[#GApps]
Known Issues​- The screenrecord command does not work directly, however it does work via the Power menu.
- There can be a slight (noticeable, but not huge) delay when pressing the Recents or Home button.

ROM OS Version: 5.0.x Lollipop
ROM Kernel: Linux 3.0.x
Based On: AOSP
Version Information
Status: Beta
Beta Release Date: 2015-01-08
Created 2014-10-13
Last Updated 2015-01-08
Changelog, News, Etc.​
Lollipop Beta Changelogs:
- Updated the camera HAL.
This is going to be a little... fragile, at first, but in the long run it's needed. Stock camera app saves pictures now at least.
You may also notice that there's a 5.1MP resolution now (clear your camera app's data if you don't see it), despite our camera supposedly being 5.0MP all these years. Turns out the sensor's native resolution is indeed a whopping 16 pixels taller and 16 pixels wider than we've been using.
2015/01/04
- Added back some of the classic FML optimizations and more.
Built with -fstrict-aliasing flag, C++11, and the Linaro GCC 4.9 toolchain.
- Updated to AOSP "android-5.0.2_r1" tag.
As usual, the only real change was them bumping the version number.
- Improved flashing.
The speed of flashing the ROM zip is now much faster.
- Superuser is now built-in.
There's no need to flash SuperSU. You can find Superuser in the Settings app. You may have to enable the "Development Settings" menu to see it.
Some apps are a little sketchy with this Superuser though, most notably Titanium Backup. If you have issues, try flashing SuperSU.
- Video playback should be fixed.
YouTube in particular seems OK. If you have some weird format you're playing back locally I cannot make any guarantees though.
- The camera situation has improved and also regressed.
The stock camera is kinda back to the point of where it was with the KitKat Beta builds:
---- Preview works. Saving photos does not work. Video recording kinda works.
--- However:
---- The camera calibration is a little messed up. Long story, but it'll be fixed soon. So your white balance may look kinda funky, among other things.
- Audio quality is improved, with support for 192kHz FLAC as well.
This is possible thanks to a new audio resampler, which doesn't impose the same sample rate restrictions of the stock Android ones. It also has far better quality than the stock Android resamplers.
- WiiMotes can now be paired via Bluetooth.
I used to be a bit of a Wii hacking enthusiast... I think I still need to add some more stuff to make it useable as a gamepad or something, but yeah.
- Fixed location services issues.
- (toro) Fixed switching between 4G/LTE and 3G/CDMA network settings.
- Kernel changes:
Reclaimed 38MB of RAM from the carveout stuff.
Removed HDMI's framebuffer, saving an additional ~16MB of RAM. With Lollipop, MHL/HDMI out isn't working with our old HWComposer, so might as well save some RAM in the mean time.
Added overclocking support, as well as adjusted the stock frequencies a little.
Added the GPU kernel driver back into the kernel, rather than building it as a separate module.
Switched to LZO compression for the kernel. It results in a slightly larger size to the kernel, but it boots faster.
Added the "purple tint fix".
Added compiler flag to tune code for Cortex-A9 CPU.
Built with Linaro GCC 4.9 toolchain.
Older Builds:
2014/11/16
- Fixed the RIL.
(I think, still unsure of toroplus's status.)
There were a few things that went into this, and I can't really take much credit for it other than being persistent in trying to fix it.
1. rild needed a little fix-up to somewhat return it to pre-Lollipop form. Basically Google is forcing Qualcomm's junk upon the world. @dhiru1602 pointed me in the direction of some commits from rmcc to hardware/ril that fixed this part of the problem.
2. The kernel needed a commit to support some new junk related to networking in Lollipop. @Ziyan linked me to the change in question.
- Updated to AOSP "android-5.0.0_r6" tag.
Really the only change is that the build number is bumped to LRX21T.
- Switched out a couple small proprietary binaries with a reverse-engineered open-source version.
Thanks to @stargo who has really been killin' it for the Motorola OMAP devices recently, we now have a reverse-engineered pvrsrvinit binary (the executable that fires up the GPU drivers on boot-up). This is especially important because the proprietary pvrsrvinit wasn't compiled as PIE (position-independent executable). With Lollipop, they're forcing everything to be PIE, which is good because PIE is better from a security stand-point. Previously I had been adding a workaround to enable support for non-PIE, which I now don't need.
2014/11/11
- Switched back to the old OTA package format.
With Lollipop they're now, by default, flashing something similar to a system.img. I switched back to the old format. THIS IS CAUSING VERY LENGTHY FLASH TIMES NOW HOWEVER, I HOPE TO FIX THESE SOON.
- Changed the kernel to build with GCC 4.7.
With Lollipop, Google switched to GCC 4.8. GCC 4.8 has never been kind to the Galaxy Nexus kernel, I'm surprised it was booting at all in the first place.
- Added "Ambient Display".
Apparently I need to add a "pick-up" or "significant motion" sensor for it though, so it displays something when the phone is picked up.
- Fixed chromium crashing.
This fixes Browser crashing upon open, among other things. This fix has been in chromium itself for nearly 4 months now, I don't know what the heck Google is doing to AOSP to make it so FUBAR lately...
- Fixed lag in Recents menu.
Now it's smoother than KitKat's, in my opinion.
- Added back F2FS support.
F2FS is now supported again, HOWEVER, it is NOT supported on the /system partition. It really didn't do any good for /system anyway.
- Updated various icons.
The Dialer icon in particular was bothering me. Other things that aren't visible in the launcher, e.g. SettingsProvider, have been fixed as well.
- Fixed FLAC playback, among other media decoding issues.
Just needed a sync-up in the device tree with one thing that I think Google DID do a nice job of with Lollipop actually.
- Built the ROM with "WITH_DEXPREOPT := true" defined.
This basically has all the system apps compiled before flashing, to cut down on the initial boot-up time which is ridiculously long with ART.
- Changed the "Android is upgrading..." screen to prevent burn-in.
Instead of using the white Lollipop-like look, it now should show up as the old, darker theme.
KitKat Beta Changelogs:
2014/10/15
- Cleaned up the kernel.
Ziyan went over all his work not long ago and cleaned up the commit history and whatnot. He's letting me do the task of merging in the GPU driver stuff, so I'm currently just getting the kernel to a "clean slate" of sorts for other kernel devs to fork and build off of. Basically this should hopefully be the new "stock" or "Google" kernel. As a result, there's some bells and whistles missing from this build. It does however include some new audio updates that weren't in the previous kernel, which leads me to this...
- Changed audio sampling rate to 48kHz.
Previously the sampling rate has been 44.1kHz. The Galaxy Nexus supports 48kHz though! Here's what mainly sparked this change: since KitKat, the UI audio effects (e.x. touch sounds) have been switching over to 48kHz. With the Galaxy Nexus still using 44.1kHz, UI sound playback became kinda sluggish, and this was a big contributor to it. The UI sounds use the "fast track" audio path (where it tries to do as little processing as it can to the audio in order to play it with a minimum amount of latency), however a requirement of using this is that no resampling (e.g. converting 48kHz to 44.1kHz, like it has been doing currently with KitKat) can be required on the audio being played. Therefore the UI sounds were taking the "deep buffer" audio path, which has a delay to it. In switching to 48kHz, the "fast track" path is actually even faster now than it has ever been previously, and the Galaxy Nexus was already TOP OF THE LINE when it comes to audio latency believe it or not!
Another thing about this is that there is now support for playback of 96kHz audio files.
- Some updates to the camera HAL.
This hasn't fixed the situation of stock and stock-based camera apps crashing when taking a picture, but it's a start on it though.
NOTICE: Poweramp (and probably most other media players that use their own native code for audio playback rather than straight-up using the built-in Android APIs) is being pissy about the sampling rate change. If you experience issues with music playing, especially things like popping or crackling, please try Play Music or Apollo and see if your issue is still present. I know the UIs for Play Music and Apollo are pretty awful, but I can't write my own media player because I'm dealing with this camera stuff!

Running good so far! I dirty-flashed over the official Omni build I've been running. No problems to report outside of the expected camera weirdness. Play Store camera apps are all over the map in their behavior - CameraZoomFX works perfectly as you reported, Google Camera crashes like the stock camera, Focal doesn't have any display at all. Video recording works but the audio is a bit out of sync, playback is a little choppy on the phone but is smoother on my computer. VideoCam Illusion (which does its own video encoding via software) does not work at all. Video hangouts seem to work fine.
Also, I used the torch quite a bit today, and at one point it quit working and I had to reboot to get it back. It's a bit early to tell, but I'm suspicious that this ROM is affected by the same 'Camera quits working' bug as Ziyan's 'stable' OMAP kernel.
Anyway, thanks again for your amazing work!
I had the same Torch issue as stated above, fixed with a reboot. Im currently running on Ting/ a Sprint MVNO and they are known for having APN issues with 4.4.x roms. When switching to LTE in the settings, the dialer app would crash loop until I switched back to 3g/2g. Flashing an APN zip on their forum fixed the crashing, but havent been able to tell if 4g actually connects as its pretty shotty coverage in my area. But I thought Id share incase someone else is on Ting.

Coming from CM 11 I guess I have been lucky as far as not having to do my own work as far as updating the Sprint Profile, and PRL as it was still within the system settings. I have been unable to figure out how to update Profile/PRL on my own as of yet. Any chance one of you may want to share this info? I'd greatly appreciate it.
New build is up.
The ROM is running smoothly with a few hiccups. I have ran into a few problems. Here's some of them that I have found so far:
1. I currently don't have root.
2. The options to "Uninstall/App info" is there but the texts aren't visible.
3. 3G to LTE switching isn't working on the 20141015 nightly build. It was on the 20141014 nightly build.
4. No Up/Down icon on the signal.

1. Root works here on FML. THe official build of OmniROM does not include superuser, you need to flash it yourself from recovery.
2. That's been a longstanding bug with Omni on toroplus for some reason.
3. There's no 20141014 build of FML for toroplus - are you using the Omni official build?
4. That's turned off by default - Settings/Bars/Activity Indicators.
Alright, another new build to try out! I will have a couple of ROMs to try on my GNex which is a good thing!
@MWisBest...hopefully you get some donations coming in as well as Musical_Chairs since you guys are putting time and effort into providing new goodies for us.
Hopefully you get some $$$ coming in. It's going to be about a week for me to donate. One thing people don't realize is that donations don't exactly flood in for devs. I released 4 Venum Ice ET4G ROMs and 2 fully inverted black and white Note 2 ROMs including icons, all inverted apps etc. I actually got over 1000 downloads on all 6 ROMs within the first 24 hours and had excellent feedback.... I received a total of 3 donations totaling $12! Lol. What you guys are doing is harder so hopefully some people who are still here show you guys some love for not making this a thread that got closed for inactivity.... Thanks again to both of you.

Wanted to give this rom a shot mainly due to the updated GPU drivers. So far a very smooth experience and pleased with it except for one major bug for my use case: Any video playback either Youtube, MX Player, etc.. after some uptime seems to fail entirely. In the case of YT it'll just sit at a black buffering screen. It'll buffer the data fine going by the progress bar as I've at times had about 1/4 of a 10-15 minute video buffer going by that indication with no playback. If I reboot the phone and give it another shot, it works.

That's the same issue as the torch issue mentioned above. It's a hard bug to track down because it takes so long to show up, and AFAIK nobody has found a reliable way to trigger it (other than just wait a day or two for it to show up). If somebody can figure out how to trigger it more quickly, I would like to try a git bisect on Ziyan's stable OMAP kernel (which is affected by the same bug) and see if I can pinpoint what is actually causing it. But without a reliable way to tell if a particular test kernel is good or not, a bisect is more or less useless.
Hi guys. How are you? I'm fantastic right now:
EDIT: Let me fix that a little...
