[ROM][32B] tek's-ROM v0.0.1 pre-ALPHA, [Donut], "What's wrong with this picture?"
Hi, all,
Here is a project I have been working on for a couple days I would like to share with you. This is a pure, unmodified Android 1.6 Donut ROM.
Remember, this is a PRE-ALPHA, so don't expect stability, or anything extraordinary. Given that I am a pretty big n00b when it comes to developing (thus the broken market and sync in a 1.6 ROM ), and any help in getting these apps working is greatly appreciated.DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING HAPPENING TO YOUR PHONE, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!.
UPDATED: Okay, this thing is now usable. Ive combined AOSP code and The HTC ADP1 ROM so everything on the doesn't work list now works. The only things that dont work are the Apps2SD and Su (working on this as we speak). This ROM is also 100% stock.
Okay, so here are the lists:
What works:
Camera
Wifi
Gps
Keyboard
Phone
SMS
Essentially everything that isn't on the doesn't work list.
What doesn't work (everything on this list will be fixed in the future)
Su
Apps2SD
Also thanks to cyanogen for some of the system apps that have been pulled from his rom .

Wondering why all these things dont work on a donut rom lol?
Anyways good work

mainly causeI'm actually trying to learn how to build a donut rom lol, hopefully without making yself look like a total idiot.

this is pretty much useless

Speed is the most important, and with all of this broken it wont help. Try making something of the new eris port.

you're not being helpful by saying that, this kid (i'm assuming, could be wrong) just wants to learn how to build ROMs and is asking for help.

Is this rom built straight off of AOSP or is it another rom and you put own touches? Because it will help alot more so i can see if i can fix some of the broken apps for you
EDIT: It helps alot more to theme after you fix everything... Just my opinion

It is built straight off AOSP, with the goal of being really fast, as fast as any other really good donut rom. But none of the other google apps work out of the box on AOSP, as I probably should have known. I would really appreciate it if you could help me out on this.
I agree, I should have themed it after, but I love the theme,so I just stuck it in there.
Tekgek

Why should I want to flash this? Or rather, why should I want to flash this once it's more developed? What is this going to have that Cyanogen or Super D or CSDI doesn't?
My point is, it'd be a good idea to maybe put something out there that you're planning on implementing into this that no one else is doing, or that you can do better. We have several stable, incredibly fast Donut roms out there right now, so what should set this apart from the rest of the crowd?
Just my two cents. I'd love to see this turn into something spectacular.

So would I. To one poster on this thread, I am just a person with computer skills who just got interested in Android two days ago. However, I do have plans for this rom, something that may or may not be possible. Any developer who is interested in the concept please pm me, and tell me if I am dreaming things up that are impossible or not.
EDIT: Okay, I guess its not that top secret, post ideas here too, if you like. My idea is to create a donut rom with the speed and stability of Android 1.6 on the G1, but with the ability to run 2.1 3d apps natively. Essentially, take what cyanogen has done with his ROMs to a whole new level. Impossible? Probably. Opinions, people who actually have experience with Android?

"whats wrong with this picture?"
The following
What doesn't work (everything on this list will be fixed in the future)
Android Market
Google Sync
Initial Setup
Google Apps in general
Apps2SD

I guess it is, i mean donut stock is perfect, but again no need to theme it with what u like, leave it stock and give the link and option to theme it, I love stock donut ROms

From the department of stabbing in the dark, it sounds like your Google apps aren't signed with the right keys. I believe they need to be signed with the same keys as the rest of the /system/app apps you build off the source. Swim through Cyanogen's Twitter posts as I believe he's answered this there before (or just try resigning them and see if it works.)

To the Author:
Good job on your first build. Keep up the hard work. It sounds to me like you might not have added the GApps after you compiled it from kernel, but I could be wrong as I haven't flashed it. But don't lose hope, you'll get it.
To The Other Users:
I'm a bit disappointed in some of the replies I've been reading. It seems like a lot of you only really care about how this rom effects you, rather than how it effects the author in general. You don't build giant empire over night, but it does show that he put a lot of effort into the build. If you don't like it, don't use it, but don't make remarks that bring the developer down.

Hey dude I hope you become better at making the roms and you become an even better dev

with ALL the other BETTER donut roms, why do we even need this?
for a nice stable donut. cyanogen
anything other variation can be found.
plus all the other broken crap...gimme one good reason to flash this haha

[REQ] Update the Gallery

After using the 2.1 Roms with the 3D gallery..whenever i go back to 1.6 (which i always have to do for one reason or another) the gallery just doesnt cut it...
I really dont like having multiple applications that do the same thing so i was seeing if anyone wanted to or already has edited the gallery so that..
- theres a slightly more attractive ui (doesnt have to be all 3d and stuff)
- grabs pictures from your picasa
- swipe through the pictures
*figured this would go in development since its not really a question*

Wrong, WRONG, WRONG, YOU THOUGHT WRONG. What made you think this was development at all? If you don't like donut's gallery why not just get a new phone using 2.1 then? Sorry for being so harsh but really? A phone wasn't even made to be used as a camera anyways(a crappy one at most) or some picture editing software. At most you would post this in the APP section as an request to see if people were willing to make you such an app.(I have no knowledge of gallery apps as I've never used my phone as some gallery picture viewer)

You bad boy you.

Hum... looking into Market, there really aren't any good gallery applications around. I guess all we can do right now is wait for the official release of 2.1. It should be out soon.

oh and whether or not you think phones should or shouldnt have cameras...they ALL do now soooooooo at least make the gallery nice google must of realized it since they changed it in 2.1
and READ i dont really want another app just some changes to this one that everyone could incorporate in there roms..
my bad move it you need to mods
Thanks

Lol i dont like the gallery neither but i'm more into what the devs are doing to make the phone faster, more reliable, convenient and more interested in having an ancient G1 still competing with the newer phones out right now so f--k it leave the gallery and who wants to take a pic with this phone anyways its ****ty since day 1

I think this sounds like more of a demand than a request. But you should get new phone so there would be no lag at all *happy reading!

That's the main problem right there. What should be a question isn't. Secondly, if you want 2.1, go buy a 2.1 phone. Stop expecting the world to make itself comfortable for you. Welcome to the real world - nothings going to be your way - ever. Finally, nothing is free. Learn that. You want every actual feature of a 2.1 ROM - you got to buy a phone that runs 2.1. If YOU want that application for free, try to backport it yourself instead of leeching off everyone else. A suggestion would have been a better idea - not in a new thread mind you. Im so very tired of getting on xda and just seeing the most epically stupid threads.

[Think Tank]Flash Lite on Froyo

Hey guys,
since we know that full flash 10.1 won't work on our devices (or its an disproportionate act to port it, because its not open source and due to the fact that flash 10.1 is not meant g1's processor).
But what about flash lite (which we know is working on g1 from the sense ROMs)? I read that the froyo browser does accept plugins (well he accepts the flash 10.1 on capable phones).
So did someone tried to port it? I know this is not the major thing on froyo, its hard enough to get the rest working properly (and i really thank those devs for spending so much time on it!!!). Many people would love to see at least flash lite on our devices. And in my humble opinion little flash animations worked fine for me on the sense roms with flash lite.
I tried to install the flash lite apk on the froyo roms availlable ... but it returned only fc's for me in browser. By now i am not running froyo but i will put some rom on and try to get a logcat on it.
Greetings

Crazy Idea: Why not make a port of an open source flashplayer (like lightspark) to ARM hardware?
[Yes, I know thats probably somewhere between inconveniant and impossible, but hey, it's a think tank ]

MUCH MUCH BETTER idea. Certainly not impossible. In fact VERY POSSIBLE.
There are a few issues to work through in it though, certain dependencies on things like PULSEAUDIO, which we don't have on android (but would be nice if we did...)
There are actually THREE open source flash projects to work from.... gnash, swfdec, and lightspark. The first two are based on reverse engineering and tend to work. lightspark is from SPEC, is much NEWER, and really doesn't work yet. Lightspark is the best FOUNDATION, but is behind in FUNCTION.
Note: flash is a bad idea no matter how you look at it. You don't need it, it doesn't do anything USEFUL, I suggest just ignoring it. PURIFY! Let flash DIE!

Yeah, HTML5 FTW!
Now that iCrap officially banned flash many sites will at least alternatively offer html5 support, because otherwise the iPhonies cry.
Most of the flash content is unwanted commercials anyway. I would hate going on some site and swoop away 5MB of my data plan (which gets downgraded to gprs speed if I get above 200MB/month) with some nagging commercial video... (€: OK, this could also happen with html5... would hate it anyway)

well i know that if flash lite could be rid of its dependency on sense it would work. it has the correct settings to work . it has 2 different ways to enable flash while the flash 10.1 has only one of those. you would have to check the 2.1 port of 10.1 to understand what im talking bout. it might also need to be built on 2.1 or 2.2.

youre right ^^ the dependency of sense is the point which prevents flash for working on froyo out of the box in my opinion. I was thinking the problem of the non-sense (not nonsense lol) browser was, that it wasnt capable to use plugins. But it looks like that the whole sense framework has something to do with flash working on sense roms. Maybe some dev could take hand on that flash lite and compare it to how the flash 10.1 plugin interacts with froyo and the browser.
I aggree with all of you that flash might die and that there are better possiblities to create an active web ... but its a fact that its heavily used in the web (so with a dataplan youre not forced to use flash ... its just that i hear many ppl wanting it). I dont wanna start a discussion about usability of flash -this is just about how to port it to froyo on g1 for ppl who like to see it

Well from the port thread over in the ego forum they found that both versions of flash have a similar plugin method for the browser. I will have to find it later.

Sounds interesting! I searched the thread but didn find it. If the method of linking the plugin to the froyo browser was similiar there might be a possibility to use the flash lite without the sense framework i am curious to read that

Has anybody tried to use not just only the flash.apk but also the libs that come in sense 2.1 roms?
because missing libs can well be the cause of force closes...
alternatively we can wait until froyo comes out for sense phones like the hero...

There was another [THINK TANK] for this.... it died. Hopefully this will, too.

I tried modifying an APK to do this. I put the flash lite plugin in the flash APK and flashed on CM6.... Didn't work, their was no force closes, it did not even show up as a plugin.

Then how about you go back to just lurking before opening your mouth about something you clearly have no idea about? The fact that FLASH SUCKS and should have been gone a LONG time ago but it's still around is the only pathetic thing here. That's what I originally said, and that's what I'm saying now. Also, I'm sure most people will have no interest in this and it's most likely going to fail. Now, let those balls drop and man the hell up.

Definitely. Flash is very much the standard for now, and I don't see that changing for some time. HTML5 is great for very basic video playing, but it gets hard to do things dynamically with it. Personally, I've been wishing I could watch the Daily Show on my phone.

in not new to android by any means and i have no idea what that is lol wana explane and maby i could help u out i feel so noobish lol

OpenGL ES 2.0 was publicly released in March 2007[1], eliminates most of the fixed-function rendering pipeline in favor of a programmable one. Almost all rendering features of the transform and lighting pipelines, such as the specification of materials and light parameters formerly specified by the fixed-function API, are replaced by shaders written by the graphics programmer. As a result, OpenGL ES 2.0 is not backwards compatible with OpenGL ES 1.1.

It works! This is fun, currently playing with this ROM paired with P3Droids lv250 1200mhz kernel. Runs extremely well all things considered.
Aside from the the bugs mentioned the only other issues I've found are
- Two seemingly identical stock gallery and email programs installed. Neither of which can be uninstalled via app manager.
- My computer does not see the phone when plugged in via USB and phone does not ask to connect to computer. I have not done anything with ADB yet.
- The phone will auto rotate horizontal when the keyboard is opened but will not rotate back when closed in some applications.
Ill post/edit if something new comes up

Hi there. I'm the guy that put this little thing together. I did not build this myself/from source. I just happened to take a few things that were working on various builds and glue them together. It does play 3D games and what not, but since the accelerometer does not work, it doesn't really do a whole lot of good. I'm not sure exactly what OPENGL version it has, or how to check it, but if you point me in the right direction, I'm sure I can figure it out for you. (Found this in the Build.prop: # The OpenGL ES API level that is natively supported by this device.
# This is a 16.16 fixed point number
ro.opengles.version = 131072)
As far as the issues, they have been well documented in the original thread on DroidForums. Just to break them down for you though...
Broken:
1)GPS (which also causes browser and any other location finder service associated apps to close when attempting to locate.) You can use a different browser, or set home page to something other than Google.
2)Accelerometer. I'm assuming it is because there are some new sensors included in Gingerbread. I thought it might have something to do with the akmd file, but I've tried a few different ones with no luck...
3)USB Storage. This is an easy fix with an app in the Market place called Multi Mount SD. They have a free and paid version. Dual Mount also works. These are widgets and must be used as such.
As far as the "duplicate" apps, they are different versions of the same app and are easily removed with Titanium Backup.
Most likely, this is not your every day rom. I have been using it, because it's fun to run something you had a hand in making, but it's not considered stable. With that being said, it's the easiest to use rom that we have available and no other Motorola phones really have anything else better, so enjoy what we have.
Happy Holidays / Merry Christmas / Insert whatever gives you warm and fuzzy feelings here.
PS. I am not a dev, so really can't trouble shoot anything too effectively. I've been trying different things to fix the issues, but have not had much luck. I was hoping some devs on DF would pick up on the interest in this project and be able to figure it out, but not much luck so far.
PSS. Definitely suggest flashing another kernel once you set the original rom up and do a nandroid. A lot of the 2.2 kernels work. I've had the most luck with Slayher interactive ones. Try a 1200 one. It's pretty quick...

No can do, sorry. I'm not a dev, so I wouldn't even have the slightest idea how to do such a thing. Plus I dunno anyone with a Milestone to play with. From what I understand, it is quite a pain in the neck due to the differences between the GSM and CDMA.

Bro i used this it work but the camcorder isnt working and it kick me out of the browser.
Camera works
but it feel like 2.2 os with some add on with 2.3 os.
When will the hacker get a stable 2.3 os with full feature from 2.3 os???

Not sure about the camcorder. Mine works for me. The browser thing has been discussed many times on all Gingerbread threads. You can't go through the browser's regular home page because location services is not working. Internet works if you:
A) Change the home page to something other than Google.com
B) Get a different browser.
C) Go through the Google Search Box.
It feels like it is 2.2 with some add-ons, because that is exactly what 2.3 is. It's not a major OS revision. Most of the work is behind the scenes dealing with memory management, speed, and such. If it's not faster for you than 2.2, that's odd (if you have not flashed a new kernel with this, highly recommended). There won't be a fully functioning rom till someone is able to figure out how to get some of the proprietary drivers rewritten to work with this boot.img. Not exactly a task for a beginner. Motorola certainly is giving any handouts, so be happy with what ya have.
There are people working on it though, you just have to be patient. It's not something as simple as, "Oh, I'll just add this or that file and everything magically works."
I'm glad some of you are enjoying it though. Blackdroid's team is working on an Alpha. Still broken accelerometer with half working GPS. Hopefully in the next week or 2, he'll push some more stable builds out. Until then, just use this to show off and have a back up of your favorite stable rom. Take care...

No can do, sorry. I'm not a dev, so I wouldn't even have the slightest idea how to do such a thing. Plus I dunno anyone with a Milestone to play with. From what I understand, it is quite a pain in the neck due to the differences between the GSM and CDMA.

There is a Brazilian dev trying to port the Ginger to the Milestone.
The name of the MOD is "ShadowMODBR" but it's not complete.
The Froyo version is great btw. I'm very exciting to try the Ginger version.

PLEASEEE SOMEONE MAKE 2.3 FOR MILESTONE!!! PLEASE

CM7
Hey man I think you should get yourself the CM7 rom and get the stuff you need to make this a perfect rom, in CM7's version for the D1 GPS and accelerometer work perfect! and it also has the tv animation when the screen turns off.
Id love to see this rom working 100%

Just to let y'all know we were able to get the screen on and off animations to work on the cdma hero by using this guide posted buy the rom dev aosp I don't know if the Numbers will be the same on the Droid but if y'all play around with it it might work http://romrepo.info/wiki/index.php?title=Screen_On/Off_Animation

And this may cause a black outline around some apps if so go to spare parts and disable compatibility mode should take care of it

ICS Sense port, Desire Z to Evo Shift

I ported the ICS Sense ROM from the Desire Z section found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546915 using the kernel and update script found in plattypus latest release, Its fully preview operational its nicely fast once it gets going takes like 5-7 minutes I would estimate to finish settling in after the flash. However, even though it appears fully operational by preview standards I can't make phone calls, send text messages, mount sd card, common data bugs. If anybody can make a modification here a modification there this ROM should come pretty close to fully operational. Screen orientation is proper keyboard lights up and is operational. Any how heres a download link to check it out if you'd like. I doubt I'm gonna do much more then this which is why I'm not opening a development thread on it, besides I don't have permission from the Desire Z dev (I didn't ask). http://d-h.st/2sf
PS: I'm not responsible for anything, so if you brick don't go blaming me lol although there should be no issues of that sort.

You're truly awesome. Lol looks like you didn't ask either O_O I'm not saying a thing
Edit: LMAO!!!!!!! I'm laughing so hard at the fact that you said uploaded by anonymous

Btw. This port is AMAZING!!! The only problems are basically SD card and Signal. I think your a bit ahead the platypus's rom.

You should put this in development

He should! Just remember to ask for permission -_- ...

ya wow! this is running smooth. just wish i could get some svc from it lol

I didn't post it in the development section because then I would be forced to fix it lol it appears to be a good base, if anybody wants to get their dev on with an idea on how to fix the remaining issues, they can post it in the development section after asking for approval of the dev in the desire z section (give props where they are deserved maybe?), since this is a Q&A section, my question is, can anybody fix the remaining issues? Honestly, I think all that's needed is modification to the build prop maybe a kernel mount issue like the 1 similar to 3.5 before drob311 fixed the mounting issue, a few bin/lib/etc file swaps, the camera issue that's apparent with many Sense ICS ROM's out there. modification maybe to the update script. Its a good step maybe it'll help plattypus? I don't know but I figured it was worthy in making accessible to the community, maybe it'll help with something?

Tell you what, Ask both developers for permission. Then ask The_Platypus for help with the data. If you can fix the data, This Rom would be better than his. I have seen some stuff on Google on how fix data and wifi. Maybe you could do some research on it. I hope this helps. I'm not going to give up hope because this is a pretty good port to be honest. I PM'ed you too btw

I think plattypus work is pretty awesome, I wouldn't have been able to do crap without the kernel he presented and writing update-scripts isn't my strong suit either. This release is just a marker I suppose, I messaged him before I posted this, its kind of a more advanced preview in theory if you drop the usr folder from this ROM into his port, orientation & keyboard potentially could be fixed in his as well. The usr folder in his preview version wasn't meant specifically for the shift, since the Desire Z is a similar qwerty device/board to the Shift, working orientation was already established in the Desire Z port version that was compatible with the shift, then all I did was port the shift specific drivers into the Desire Z port. Like I said I used his packaged kernel and update script and since the Desire Z port was already on beta 6, its potentially more advanced in modification then plattypus preview port. If nothing else my driver modifications potentially advances plattypus port, hopefully this aids his efforts.

I still say you and him should work together on this! I mean you fixed a big problem. I'll take your advice and ask lots of people things It's going to take me a while to work some things out too. Thanks for this port though!

I agree even if the OP is not planning on following up with updates any time you post a rom download link of any type of software it should be in development. Other people could work on it and post new versions then the OP can update the first post with links, credits ect.

ha but then I would be pressured 100% to complete the project, I don't want the responsibility. I was just trying to contribute something to making ICS Sense a reality on the Shift, do my part. Besides, plattypus made the initial leap at getting things started my suggestion would be to tune into his work. I'm not trying to kang his ROM, I'm trying to collaborate.
