Rotohammer's 19214 ROM V4

For those interested in my current ROM, here you go.
Notes:
MD5Sum ff713c7f13afb3db4ce26a51a487940d
Weighs in at 62 meg
No bootloader, boot splash or radio included.
I recommend radio 1.58.25.17
With above radio, first gps fix took 1.5 minutes
Removed all the AT&T junk software & games, jbed, RealPlayer
Removed MS Office apps (I only use/accept ISO Standard docs like PDF)
Enabled HSDPA & Icon , no service icon problems (no X)
Left AT&T service settings
Left in MS Voice Command since its hard to find
Vers 1.6.19214 MSVC works better than 19209 on this rom
No HTC Home, use a cab if you like it so much
Screen doesn't turn off when you wake it up like other ROMs
16meg page pool
Removed Themed dialer skins (I use the non themed dialer)
So far all my apps & SIPS work (iGo8)
Internet works consistent on AT&T, even when set to disconnect after 1min
Bluetooth file xfers work fine, just reboot phone after you pair first
I just realized that "Show SIM Contacts" has stayed disabled, cool!
Graphics benchmark: 1588.25*
Known Issues:
File system cache is disabled by default
Security is not disabled (you get the not certified warning)
Install KaiserTweak or AdvancedConfig to adjust above settings
Its the best** ROM I've used to date.
Use HTC Rom Image Editor to add or remove files to your liking.
4Shared Download
Ps: V1-V3 were failures
* I didn't really benchmark the graphics.
** Best: Meaning everything works decently, not as fast feeling as L26Vx Roms though.
Tip:
Heres a setting that I'm starting to enjoy: I set my data connection timeout to 1 minute using AdvancedConfig (Schaps), then set the "Connection Established" notification to sound a "bink" (Quietest) AND my email is set to retrieve every 15 minutes. That gives me an audible indicator that email is being checked, and to expect a possible voice announcement. Also, when I don't hear the "bink" I know now that I left an app like Opera 9.5 running, which keeps the data connection alive, consuming more power. Its like a heartbeat to let me know that I'm running optimal.

Every Cooked Rom deserves it, makes it easier for Flashing Junkies to find & discuss it.

Downloading now. Let you know what I think. I'm a big fan of lite roms.
I dont normally post requesting anything, I just search and find it myself, but.......I cannot find the radio you are using. I've looked everywhere I can think of, and cannot find 1.58.25.27.
Thanks

Thanks, but I've found the NEON radio 1.58.25.17.
But he posted about 1.58.25.27. And I've seen several different posters with 1.58.25.27 in they're sigs, so I figured it couldnt be a typo. Is there a 1.58.25.27?

Fast ROM! The only "bug" I've encountered, and it's more of a customization thing, is that the security is not disabled (you get the not certified warning), therefore my UC did not run correctly. So now I've installed all my apps, and sync'ed with exchange, and everything is running great.
I dont use HTC Home, but SPB Mobile Shell 2.1 is running as fast as ever.
I'll probably stick with this for awhile.
Thanks for your time!

Busted! Yep, I think I copied/created the same typo that everyone else did early on during the frenzied excitement of ATW disclosing that the radio worked. My device information applet clearly says 1.58.25.17.

After running so many cooked ROMs, I was startled by the warnings at first. Then I realized, man, I have to play catchup and create an archive of tweaks to apply to new factory ROMs. So I let it go in hopes I can find a bunch of other useful tweaks, which, if we collect here (before 19215) I'll make a new version of this ROM.
FWIW, I favor lite ROMs for the purpose of debugging. I'll be posting an Add-Ons package with all the apps that I install. If there were more releases done like this, folks would end up with just what they wanted.
The whole HTC Home & IGo8 bug is such a thread waster as every ROM thread deals with the same applications issue over and over. The two apps don't work together, there is no fix, get over it!
I realize some folks like the "batteries included" ROMs as it saves them (theoretically) setup time. I seem to still spend hours getting my phone just right
Where was I going with this rant? I need coffee.

Congratiolations my friend!
Didn't know you where interested in cooking.
Let me know if you need anything!

Neither did I! This ROM was born while comparing your V9b1 against the stock 19214 AND while playing with the ROM editor due to my dislike of HTC Home. It just so happened that I created a ROM that I actually liked!
I'm looking forward to running a lite version of your next ROM after the bugs are squashed, as I do enjoy the speed of your ROMS.
Long term I just plan on passing feedback to you and use your ROMs

Congratulations
Hey Roto,
Been playing with this for about 2 hours now and I am really impressed. It is a clean, fast, stable AT&T based Rom that I can customize to my liking. It is so clean and fast I don't know what to load on it
Edit: This is a keeper

Thats funny you said that, as I had the same feeling. I ran it for a day before loading a lot of my apps just to see how it worked. Now I'm being picky about what to load

Benchmark
Roto- Thanks for taking the time to cook this rom.
Does iGo work? just kidding!
Don't know how you feel about benchmarks and I do not believe anyone has posted a 19214 bmark other than the vid-only gxmark (1588 anyone?)- Anyone attempt a more comprehensive test like SBP benchmark on this rom yet?

gasman858 said:
1588 anyone?

Exactly! I've gotten zippo out of comparing the benchmarks. When someone does shoehorn in new graphics drivers, then we'll see the big jump. As far as OS benchmarks, its pretty much bound by the cpu speed and whether theres any other apps running. +/- %5 isn't even discernible. I read once that in order to notice a performance change, the factor has to be equal to/greater than 2x.

I love this. No HTC Home crap. I always disable it to put in WP and cnetx face contacts.
I'd run SPB benchmark, but it apparently requires a windows computer. I'm content in saying it feels frickin snappy.

YO! Did you disable the file system cache? Copying WP themes and icon packs is taking forever.

The only tweak I made was to enable HSDPA. If file system cache is disabled by default, lets add that to the list of fixes to do. I didn't pay attention as I ran though AdvancedConfig to setup my own defaults.

[ROM][32A RADIO 6.35]Eclair w/ Nexus1's 3D gallery CAM & most things are working well

[ROM][32A RADIO 6.35]Eclair w/ Nexus1's 3D gallery CAM & most things are working well
this ROM is for Sapphire 32A SPL 1.76.2007 and latest Radio 6.35.07.29.
pure AOSP build, google bits and gallery are added. (make sure you think you have the rights for using the apps from google, i just make some copy for you)
thx: Cursordroid, Enomother, Cyanogen, RA, jnwhiteh, ChainsDD, sober (who have full of courage for testing my first kernel ) , and more...
what's new: less crash, more stable. new gallery app which use hardware accel. a new step to full working with our new radio.
the update.zip, just push it into ur sdcard then apply it from recovery: http://www.4shared.com/file/202007372/5352e8b4/my2x.html

if you are a 32A user with old radio, and you want a upgrade or try this ROM, follow Cursordroid's instruction to Update your 32A Magic to 6.35.07.29 Radio and 1.76.2007 SPL
working (update: all confirmed by me or other users):
camera
gps
wifi
mobile data
sensor
lights
gps
bluetooth
openGL
Gallery3D
googlebits
working but leaving some questions open:
playback (will print error message in log, not tested with many format)
not working properly:
camcorder (only preview working)
I would not say "it is very fast", but I feel it fast enough. and if you do not care about the multi-media things, i think this build seems not bad.
(for the multi-media things, they are mostly caused by media libs in AOSP, which google have not done yet. (but i cannot understand why nexus-one can have a stable version !!!) it is not all the HTC/Qualcomm's fault, Google didn't do their job very well too)
if there are something I missed, or I made some mistake, don't be sulkiness plz. i will fix them with you. let us make it better and make more 32A user switching to new Radio, with more users, we can do better and more quickly.

file/things includes:
AOSP master, I keep it at the API version 5, because things with API 7 for other devices (except nexus1) are not stable, i don't want to pretend that we have a nexus1, and make things unstable.
su and superusers from ChainsDD.
kernel which i modified from msm-kernel-2.6.29.
libhtc_ril.so, omx libs are from a leaked official 2.x ROM. camera libs, libgps.so from another one. (thanks the man who provided them)
libhtc_acoustic.so and some miscs files from official 1.5 ROM. akmd too, but akmd from 1.6 ROM have newer version and i think it will works too.
google bits are come from different sources too:
Gallery3D/google framework parts from nexusone dump, i think Enomther deodexed them, thank you and I LOVE YOU.
Other google's things are versions used everywhere, and here are my thanks to the one dumped them --> m(_ _)m.
cyanogen's patch which is directed towards infinite sync. it may be a temporary workaround, when google do things right, i will remove it.
.......
more: lock screen and wallpaper is the eclair's initial one as AOSP source released with them. if you want other lock screen, customize it yourself, and tell me how ^^, I'm really not a good cooker .

known issues and workaround:
1. camcorder can not record, but it didn't crash anything as previous one (with my kernel, from jnwhiteh) would crash some.
2. video playback has many errors the video can be played though. just reported by logcat, and no more thing will happen in my tests.
3. if you stay in the Gallery3D UI, and the phone sleeps later, when it wake up, the Gallery3D lost hardware acceleration. you can quit and enter this app again, it will be fine.
4. first boot with google bits may not go without a hitch. you can remove all google apps in the zip (you must resign it) and push them later.if you boot with googlebits:
you will see a dialog let you choose the default behavior, select SetupWizard here. if you select another, you can not use internet during the first boot, it will say "no connection", though we are connected.
the SetupWizard will start twice, the second one is for asking you to sign in a google account, you can just press menu to quit.
and there are many lags in first boot, maybe black screen (can not light, you can "adb reboot" it) or some crash (i have met once for each and I flash it serveral times) if you operate too fast.
after second boot, it will works fine. it seems if we give the phone more time to do many initialize jobs, it will work happily even in first run.
5. with superuser, if you select deny, the app which needed the permissions may be force closed. it is a bug in su sources i used which is not belong to me and i have no time to look and fix it yet.
update:
6. when wake up the phone, screen turned on, but backlight of screen not. if you can see image, just go to setting and set brightness, then the light will open. need more reports (like situation/logcat/dmesg, etc.) to locate the problem. i encountered this problem once.
7. "died in sleep", this problem has been encountered by others, personally, i met it once during first run, after a reboot I never met it again. but I don't think this problem just appears during first run. instead, i think the situation of first run is more closed to the condition triggering it.
I think there must be more problems, let us find them together, and fix them by our hands.
update: after some search I found that some softwares (like nettraffic) will cause more "died in sleep" in some ROM/kernel/Radio combination. and many kinds of "died in sleep" can be avoid with some tweaks, but i don't know if they are same problems as ours, and i can not get what this tweaks are (or why, how..) from anywhere yet.
i am waiting for more details to fix 6 & 7. I will be grateful if someone can provide some info about similar problems, since I had seen these problems in some other ROM/kernel/Radio combination.
and guys who encountered these problems, could you provide more details plz? something like: occurred during first run/other, with situation XX (mobile/wifi/software X running, etc) which you think it caused the problem occurred more often. if you can reproduce it, we will get very closed to fixing them.

great job!

Another ROM using the latest SPL/Radio... great!
Downloading now.. will try flashing later...
Nice work sanpei!

Great job. I will try it immediatly.

Excellent, nice to see some other developers working on this radio/SPL version as well!
I will definitely be trying this out today!

Awesome will try when I get home from work.
Would it be possible to implement the Nexus apps-menu in a later build?

bug report:
The screen remains black (can't see anything) after sleeping even if I press any of the buttons. I just removed the battery then reboot.
Aside from that, it's quite fast and responsive. The transitions are nice too. Keep it up dude!

I will look into this, but I cannot locate this problem quickly, since I just met it once during a first boot, and it never appears again.
is it like the situation "die in sleep" in some build which are based on CyanogenMod? (when i was using old radio)
can you reproduce the problem and description the operations? thx.

Newb questions
Hi Guys,
Sorry for the lame newb questions. I just want to verify this prior to trying this ROM.
I'm currently using CursorSense 1.0.1 - which is my every day ROM (great functionality, fast, does everything I need)
I'm really interested in trying out Android 2.1 - and seeing as this uses the same SPL / Radio - it means I should be able to just wipe and flash this one. HOwever seeing as I just want to take a peek and play around with it, I don't want to screw up everything on my phone toooo badly lol.
If I do a nand backup - wipe and flash this new ROM, when I'm done, can I do a wipe, then reflash the nandroid backup and everything will go back to the way I have it setup now?
Also will anything get screwed up on my SD card leaving it as it is flopping from one ROM to the other and then back (it's non partitioned, and loaded with misc folders created from my apps)
Thanks!

Yes.. backup, wipe, flash, try, wipe, restore.. I even think that last wipe isn't even necessary, but it doesn't harm either. A Nandroid restore restores your phone exactly as you left it (incl. your call log, SMS, apps, etc.)
It could be that some new folders/files are created on your SD card (if required by Eclair apps), but since they are not used by your previous rom it won't be a problem (unless you don't want to keep those unused folders and files on your SD card).
If you are not sure, or don't want to keep the extra folders/files, you can always make a backup of your SD card on a USB or PC prior to trying the rom.
Have fun! ;-)

Yes. You can restore from nandroid backup and everything will go back. I often switch between CursorSense 0.4 and sanpei's rom several times a day.

so can anyone answer if this is a good everyday rom? or equivelant to cursor sense?

The ROM is well done. It's responsive (no lag from my playing) even the 3d gallery ran very well.
I didn't use it too long for everyday items as I'm a Sense fan, however I find that standard plain Android is pretty empty when I don't have my sense stuff on top lol.
Definately play around with it if you're interested.

Keep UP dude!

Been testing it for a few hours. So far not a single FC and i can confirm that BT works just fine, also OBEX with Bluetooth File Transfer by medieval software.
SMS and emails send and get received just fine.
Tested the GPS in both google maps and the GPS status app to check efficiency, and so far everything works just fine.
The gallery is really sexy, now we just need to get the Nexus1 apps-menu implemented .
Actually there are three other things i'd like implemented also:
Animated desktop
Wireless tether
Google Nav
What do people think about that?

[5/18/10][G1 & MT3G]HappyRom 0.5 BETA - The fastest 2.1 Sense Rom ever! Native LED!

[5/18/10][G1 & MT3G]HappyRom 0.5 BETA - The fastest 2.1 Sense Rom ever! Native LED!
http://www.twitter.com/DefectiveLove - I share this twitter with my wife - follow me!
What?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------​I've never understood why Sense roms always had to be SOOOO slow on my MT3G and have only gotten less reliable with Overclocking and JIT compiling; I was also really tired of the randomly *****y screen and keyboard - you know, where you're typing and it pauses for 10 seconds, then puts in a symbol instead of your letter? Or how about ****TY battery life and lag on incoming calls so bad I miss most of them and get nothing but voicemails. I want the features, but I've been using Donut roms instead because Sense has sucked. Till now.
Several weeks ago I found an old 2.1 Sense rom by Drizzy that f***in' flew like nobody's business, but everything was broken in it (see the original thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=677518 ). I've been working since then to fix everything that was broken, add new features and all the while, keep the speed of the original rom as my number one priority.
Well, I've been working on this non stop (as you can see from my myriad of posts in chef central) while learning android from the ground up. After nearly a month (I think) here's my first beta!
HappyRom v0.05 BETA by Aeltrius - This rom, all by itself, is faster than any JIT, OC'd Sense rom out there. Even on the G1 without touching setCPU - this is CONFIRMED!
- this rom is heavily based on work done by Drizzy and Eugene373.
Special thanks to Chiefz_Reloaded and Asuske/ts0cha0tik for lending a helping hand when I got pissed, being there to bounce ideas off of and testing out my private betas!
Additional thanks to Cyanogen for his detailed wiki's and King for all his work I've studied, as well as the developers of SetCPU, Spare Parts and the other apps I've included.
-------------------------
Requirements
G1
- Death SPL - MAY work on other SPL's - I haven't tested this on G1. It will probably work on Danger, too, but I won't guarantee that as I haven't had a chance to prove it
G1 & MT3G
- ext partition (you can use ext2/ext3/ext4 - your choice, ext2 has been the least tested, but it HAS worked)
- 96Mb Swap (128Mb Recommended!!!)
-------------------------
What works:
Wifi
Google Apps/G-Sync/Gmail/Google Talk/etc
Sense Widgets (except clock - check the bugs section)
Market
SMS/MMS
Email/Exchange
Music
Browser
SU
USB-Mounting
Youtube
Native LED support!!! - Still in very early stages but confirmed working on MT3G

Known Bugs
Video/Camera does not work right now - its my next thing to fix
Facebook sync half works - it sync's up, but doesn't link contacts
HTC Clock widget doesn't work
Photo Album does not work yet
Compcache does not work yet
HTC Setup Wizard MAY be touchey and weird on the G1. You can skip past it though, its not important - I need confirmation of this!!

Ummm.... well, I just about everything else should work, but this is a beta BECAUSE I need some additional testing done.
Installation Instructions for Newbies!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------​Don't get mad at me if you don't follow these!
1.) Make sure your SD card is properly formatted. My personal recommendation:
128Mb Swap
512 Mb ext(2|3|4)
2.) FULL WIPE!
3.) Flash the Zip and restart your phone
4.) Watch for the lockscreen. Once it appears, wait 2-3 minutes for the rom to settle. Skip through setup till you get to the Home screen "Loading..."
- During and after setup, you may get a message "calendar storage is not responding" a few times - just hit "wait". This goes away once you set up your Gmail Account.
5.) Wait for the Home Screen to load up, then give it a minute or 2. Open programs and hit your Market. Log into your Gmail here.
6.) Wait till your email is downloaded - phone will be slow for about 30-45 seconds until Gmail is synced up. Done
Once you give this thing a couple minutes to settle, its SUPER ****in fast.
-------------------------
EXTRA INSTRUCTIONS
NOW - this thing should be fast enough all by itself with no additional mods (hard to believe, but I'm serious) or tweaks but it has so far only been tested on the MT3G, so G1 users or needy MT3G users, I've included SetCPU in here so you can max out your CPU if you want it to be even faster. I've also added spare parts if you want to speed up window animations and such.
The first time you bring up the dialer it might be really slow, but after that it won't be.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------​I am NOT responsible if you mess up or your phone by using my rom!
This is still in BETA!!!!

READ THIS, DUMMY!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------​If you find a bug, I'd love to hear about it so I can fix it, but there's the thing.
If you tell me
"Some things don't work, fix them and I'll come back."

I can't track that, there' no way for me to know what the problem is! Tell me which app had a problem, what you were doing when it did, and if you're feeling generous, throw me a logcat while you're at it .
Finally, if you want me to be able to properly track and fix bugs - please,
keep this thread on topic
Native LED???
---------------------------------------------------------------------------​
For everyone who's wondering, as of page 2 of this thread, Native LED support has been *mostly* removed from my rom. A lot of people put a lot of time and effort into developing these custom roms for the community and they need to get credit for the work they've done. When a "signer" or Developer alike KNOWINGLY uses anyone else's code and purposefully claims it is their own without giving proper credit, I personally believe they don't deserve the end result of all that hard work.
I came into android only a few simple months ago, and only started digging into the code within the past month. I've read a lot, spent hours a day in front of my computer coding, flashing updates, testing and losing sleep to help develop a rom that people can use - a choice in a myriad of roms available. I have learned a lot and will continue to learn as I still consider myself an android "newbie". In this last month I've been promoted at work and have new responsibilities, lost my house because my landlord wasn't taking my monthly lease and paying the mortgage with it, found out that my wife has a rare disease called PCOD which will prevent us from having any more children and been temporarily institutionalized for trying to kill myself via alcohol poisoning. In all of this, I've continued to try to work for the community. I know other developers have gone through the same things, and more. These people put their lives on hold to help the community and they deserve recognition and respect.
I couldn't completely remove LED support since it exists in too many places throughout the rom, so there is a code base for any new developers to build off of, but right now it is not and will not be fully functioning.
Call me selfish, I think of myself as a credit to shunned developers everywhere. Until Zachattack stops begging on his twitter for his friends to spam and flame my thread, stops botting forums to advertise his roms in everyone else's threads and until he openly and publicly admits to all the developers he's ripped off, I will not release my native LED support. Not in my own roms or in anyone else's.
I will be available for discussion to developers who are interested. That is all.

Is it as fast as promised? Did you have to setCPU or no? I need data from G1 users.

Call lag?
10 chars

does anyone else notice the rom right above/bellow this rom also claims to be THE FASTEST EVVVVVVVVVVVER?!?!? wtf...which one do i flash ?!?! lol

On my MT3G I've clocked this at 2 (SOMETIMES 3) rings for call lag, way better than 5-6 on other Sense roms. I'm still trying to make it faster. The problem with call lag seems to be related to broken bluetooth. If I either fix bluetooth or remove Bluetooth calls from the phone app I should be able to completely end Sense call lag

Test it out for yourself. I didn't like ZX's hero 2.1, it was laggy for me. Not all at once, but randomly it would take 10-15 seconds to recognize a touch.
Just check them both out and use whichever one works best for you.

What's the best Android ROM for Polaris?

I am sorry if a thread like this exists but I didn't managed to find it.
I tried different Roms but I can't remember from all which is the fastest.
I am mainly using my Polaris for:
- phone calls
- wifi browsing: Opera Mini/Skyfire
I want the fastest Android Rom that will suit my needs. From your experience what ROM would you recommend me ?
Thanks.

Try to use froyo 2.2 RLS 12, right now i use it on my phone, it is fast naught to do all the usual things without wait. I overclocked my CPU to work at 540MHz (this says Rogue Tools) but it is working at 520MHz really. The market it is working fine, bluetooth also, wifi can be solved to obtain ip, everything is ok. If you wanna more details, PM and i will try to guide you in romanian

how can I flash froyo 2.2 RLS 12 to my Polaris?wifi is ok?

1. READ POST1 HERE - FOR THE INSTALL PROCESS INSTRUCTIONS and download the install-seq.sh .
2. READ POST1 HERE - DOWNLOAD THE Latest FroYo NBH or ZImage (POLAIMG.NBH) for your panel type, and the RLS12 All Languages Themed (androidinstall.tar).
3. READ POST1 HERE - FOR THE NBH Editor v3.5.2 YOU CAN DOWNLOAD AND USE THIS PROGRAM TO CHANGE THE PANEL TYPE FROM 1 TO 3 OR FROM 3 TO 1.
After you read all the 3 posts from the 3 thread and you download all the files you need you can proceed with the install using the steps described in the point 1.
For solve the WiFi obtain IP adress, after you install successfully the Android on your Polaris, restart it and press the volume button up when booting Android, you will see a menu with some options, select FIX PERMISSIONS menu and wait... after the fix WiFi will work just fine and it will obtain the IP from the network.
Hope this post will help you.

Indeed, I am using since yesterday RLS12. It is pretty ok, some freezes here and there but nothing really important. Sometimes in Market the phone restarts. I thought about overclocking the CPU but I was affraid not to broke it. Is it safe? Is there a performance improvement ? What about battery drain ?

In my case i don't have any problems with freezes or restarting in the Market, but when you change the camera settings application from photo to video then the program stops. About overclocking the CPU, i use it in this way (540MHz) from some time, all is ok, the phone is fast and the battery is not drain, in my case work from 3 days ago and i have use it my phone to calls, WiFi (browsing), Bluetooth (send/receive files).

this last several days i've spent time to try a lot of android build for my device polaris100. here is my opinion about the best adroid build i've tried :
1.Incubus26jc's Super Froyo (RLS13)
the best build for show off to your friend in reality my device's 128 mb ram can't run it as smooth as it should be. too many frezes it work but with limitation. you need to tweak it a bit to make it bearable : 1 launcher page, keep launcer on memory, kill all windows animation. try to move the installed program to your sd might increase the cache files. uninstall those you never use. minimal widget. you might want to overclock your procc at the risk of your beloved polaris.
2. Kallt_kaffe VaniljEclair RLS11 (CM5.0.8)
It has the bling bling as the froyo build but it works generally alot of better than the froyo one. it work fast out of the box. and if you do the tweak i mentioned above it work alot of more faster. but not as fast as it should be if compared to those official device that came out with eclair.
3. [ANDROID] Myn’s Warm Donut - [RLS 5 - 04/24/2010]
this is the oldest adroid of the two above. but it has the least hardware requirement, in other word it really work as it should be (compared to the device that officially came with it). it just some glitches here and there but it is bear able. I'm having alot of fun with this build.
there is alot of other build that i tried but IMHO those 3 above are the one worth to mention.
hope this help.
CHEERS!

can u tell me, what works and what didnt work, in these androids???

Most stable for Polaris
Hi,
I always testing any incoming releases.
I vote for Incubus Froyo (RLS13 yet). If you don't use lot of screens, widgets, than it is the most stable for daily use. These things are the most important for me and they are work:
- Incoming calls come fast
- Data plan works: Task, Calendar, Contact
- BT carkit works
- Battery: I use sometimes pcarvalho lastest winmo and it drains battery more, than Android.
I think the most freezes are about the low free memory. But I'm on it to get more memory. If I use app and data on SD, I got max 40MB of free memory.

Hey, I got the same impressions of the Incubus RLS13, very stable BUT suffers from a memory problem... well, can't expect too much from the Polaris RAM when compared to the new devices in the market.
However, can u guys tell me if the Launchers (PRO and ADW) should make the phone slower (choppy)? I decided to stay with the stock launcher, apparently works better (apps, screens in/out), but I checked that PRO and ADW don't use a lot of memory.
For example, Tjahjo07, when u say keep the launcher in memory and 1 screen only, which launcher are u referring to?
Cheers!

@grgomes
he means launcher pro.

Tks Phyt. Yeah, I did try the speed-up suggestions, my Pola100 is much faster now.
2 screens LP, keep in memory, people widget and weather only. Minimal freeze and FC so far.
I did however go back to Liquid's 16/07 nbh, the 26/07 from DZO was giving me a lot of charging and booting issues. Seems much more stable now.
Im waiting for a Pola version for the 24/08 nbh from DZO, read some good reviews from people using Vogue...

I flashed Incubus26jc's Super Froyo (RLS14), Kallt_kaffe VaniljEclair RLS11 (CM5.0.8), Myn’s Warm Donut - [RLS 5], but there is no-one can run in my Polaris smooth.
My suggestion is don't install Android in your Polaris for business. Otherwise, maybe you will loss order or job.
Good Luck Everybody!

VaniljEclair
Use the VaniljEclair an reduce the pages of ADW.Launcher to 1! It works really fast!!! Ive got Pola200. If i flash Incubus Froyo WLAN dows not work. Running the other ROM everything works fine!!! I had 1.6 myns warm donut before. It had benn run from SD Card. By flashing Eclair I got a 2.1 which works as fast as Donut from SD card. Try it! Its great!!!

F1 plz
i read this guide : sourceforge.net/apps/trac/androidhtc/wiki/HowToInstallWithAtoolsNand
step by step done, but after install hardSPL, when i'm pressed CameraButton and Reboot, see the tricolor page , and nothing happen. what can i do ?!

@moapz: oh my god .. take a breath, you have posted in all the topics. wait a minute. someone will answer you. i think you are not doing something well. i have did that tutorial some time ago and had no problem with it. it would be better for you to try to install in haret mode first.
Have a nice day.

i have a problem to, when is the bars on the phone what i have to do? i need a program to flash the nand polaris? please help

i installed android NAND on my pola200 and worked. but after some days it goes crazy and according to this forum thresd i could remove old version and now i want to install another stable version, so i read wiki page but all links not worked! or say file not found. so i'm going back to read threads again to find what version is good. but another problem! ; many of this guides uses haret.exe to install android but i cant do this, because i don't have WM on my pola200 to run it. so can you help me for that? how to install new android ?

A nice experience with froyo

Afters 2 monthes on windows 6.1 and 6.5 , i finallly came back to the excellent android, windows is so boring
I had give up because of bad development cycle with .32 kernel and a lack of news on polaris android forum and the abandon of martin
So I downloaded atools, compiled the last .32 kernel and installed
HTML:
Thoughtlesskyle's Not So Super Froyo [RLS18] [12/4/2010] Who Invited This Guy!
both on nand and of course the last but not least update.tgz for polaris
The first impression was very very good : everything was well sized, smart and faster than fast, wifi and bluetooth did work
After my first installation, i went to the market and i did a mass update of stock application : that was my first mistake (maybe because of odexed stuff... i 've never understood this that's a shame) - everything went corrupted after this point until a big crash of the phone
So i did a second attempt and after two days with this configuration, i've a very good feeling, good stability and not so bad battery life after having installed "Data on demand" from the market
The most important point has ever be the battery life for me (not this fuc$''(ng camera - kids !!) and i've noticed that sleeping state is very odd for month, sometime the phone is entering sleeping state, sometime not and this must be battery hungry
my radio is 1.45.xx.xx
Some credits : i want to thank all the historical from HTC and the upcoming Liquid who do so much hard work replacing marginz if i've all understood
I wish i had the skill to help the community but i know my limit, everything that i can advise you is to work on battery life
Liquid : what is the problem with battery life exactly ? is there a way to work on sleeping state ? on windows my phone could handle 4 or 5 days without recharging... i know this have been asked so many times

I agree with you...
Hi,
Yes, I totally agree with you. I tried the first versions of cyanogene and after versions of thoughtlesskyle (fat froyo).
I admit that this is the most stable version ever tested.
Many thanks also to all those who have advanced Android for us.
I use my phone for business reasons but I always want to test the latest versions but there, I stop for the version of thoughtlesskyle as it works perfectly.
Thanks to all Polaris users
Cheers.

My phone is also running on Thoughtlesskyle's Not So Super Froyo [RLS18], and so far it is the best release I've ever tried.
Big thanks to l1q1d, who helped me with to switch from WM6.5 to Android. Tools and threads are always updated and support is both fast and relevant.

Thank you guys.
The problem with battery is due to several fatctors:
Radio firmware is not designed for android so it doesn't handle connection correctly
The sleep mode is not handle correctly by the firmware so the sleep mode is only a low consumpition mode
The battery calculation alghoritm is not perfect and there is no information on windows alghoritmation

good explanation liquid
Do you think there's a chance for you or another to ameliorate the situation ?

... and gingerbread is coming

what can we excpect from this ???

Did someone try gingerbread on polaris ?
I'm a little bit anxious about performance on our devoted device
I'm now trying Thoughtlesskyle's with data on sd, i have read that it can improve sd card bug and data loss on reboot; The fact is that i'm not convinced by system speed with such an installation
I'm not really sure system is well installed since i've read that you need a special rom to install on fat32/etx2/ext2
we can find everything and it's contrary on xda forum, that's annoyin and androidon htc site need to be improved

First experience yesterday :
- easy to install but I use with Haret
- fast and like the Nexus S... Hum...
- But a lot of problems : wifi ok but impossible to connect by authentication, impossible to access to date/time parameters, ... And when I reboot, impossible to get Android ! Just a lot of messages and that's all I've to reinstall again...)
I think we have to wait for a new kernel with this new build
I return to my Froyo by thoughtlesskyle
Cheers.

I going mad with my Touch Cruise. I just crashed it on the wall and I'm quite surprise it is still working...
I am experiencing lots of issues. It's so slow that the phone freezes from time to time. Even after rebooting, applications are crashing... because Android says that the SD card is missing (I moved most of the apps using app2sd).
I feel desperate because Android seemed to be a great OS, but not on a Touch Cruise.
I will try to chillout, and wait for new kernel releases and setups...

this setup is amazing and very stable, none can't beat it for the moment
The app2sd technique is maybe at the origine of your problems, try with update3 and tell us if it's work

Thanks, I'll give it a go.
My telephone is also running on Thoughtlesskyle's Not So Super Froyo [RLS18]
I'll let you know if it works better (hope so!).

Hi everybody, I want to share what I 'm experiencing since last week. I made a BSE ( EDIT: using 1.0.6 atool ) flagging advanced mode then install system, fix permissions and clear dalvik cache and location system auto as well as data. In nbh editor I setted last L1q1d .32 fstab on auto. I have installed not so super rls 18...
Now in andboot I have a system.img and a data.img and here is my result : I have never had a reboot, no data loss and also I can turn off the phone without problem on reboot. I only must wait about 2/3 minutes before all is ready.
maybe L1q1d can explain what I have done?
I have a mirco sd class 6
P&L

It's quite interesting.
The answer is: you install both system and data on file on sd, the sd is quite fast so you can use it.

Does the camera work in this configuration?
