THIS IS A DMA WIFI HERO BUILD:
Thanks goto addisu and dzo for getting a working Wifi module and all the hard working developers who get Android ported to the various devices.
Thanks to JAC for making the base rom (JACHeroski1.6)
This pack was tested and worked before uploading!
Directions:
0) If you have a data.img delete it first!
1) Copy all files from "Required" to the root of your memory card. I recommend at-least a 512mb.
2) Launch haret and click "Run"
2.1) You will need to wait for the data.img (data store) to be created, this takes around 2 minutes. This stores your files.
3) It takes sometime to get to the setup screen. If the screen turns off, just turn it back on. It will come up.
4) Go through the intro of Android (you only do this once)
The first 3 steps get you into Android
The following gets you Wifi (Kaiser/Tilt only)
* In this build, you can now select your WiFi in the setup.
In side Android:
1) Bring the menu up
2) Goto settings
3) Go to Settings -> Wireless Controls then click "Wi-fi" wait until there is a check
4) Select your network under Wi-Fi Settings
6) Make sure you save your "calibration" file and keep a copy of it save so you can just move it to future builds.
House cleaning:
I did not develop any of this kit, I simply put the pieces together and made them available in an easy to use package.
If you need any help please leave a comment in the forum!
To setup APN you must configure it, this can be found on the Android Vogue Wiki( http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/wikii/HowToInstall )

Do we really need another thread for this? Why can't we just get Newbie to clean up his first post in the other thread? Seems kinda redundant...

Well, the previous one is not for strictly a build, its more for the wikis and stuff. This thread is strictly for downloading a complete package.

cool, I'll bite!
Trying to follow the steps when i type "su"
i get "uid 10027 not allowed to su" , I did a search for this phrase and the only hit i got was the same error, but person asking was ignored.
Any ideas on how to get around this?
I'm running on a Tilt.
Thanks !!

Excellent, any mirror not from rapid or mega?, my network has the storage web filter , a FTP mirror will be great!
Thanks in advance,

So the hero zip file is a rom? and if so can you flash it to a kaiser ?

keep it up...
if its like HTC HERO, it would be nice

Thanks natalic, it works.
Some additional points:
1) Ensure you're getting the file from the rapidshare link. I tried the latest build from the project site (android-1.5-2009-08-04.zip) and I never managed to extract the calibration file
2) There's a hero build here (http://drop.io/calibrationfiles) but I would suggest to get the calibration file out 1st before trying the hero build. It seems that you wont be able to access the terminal easily from Hero builds... (Maybe it's just me)
What works and not in the Android build (non-hero):-
1) Browser works
2) Market works
3) Google Sync works
4) Google maps does not work

yes it is, android is starting to need a forum all to itself, or you can look at it like this if the android threads are builds from diff "android chefs" then it would be no different than multiple rom threads for diff chefs or diff wm versions.

Heres my working repack. Enjoy

Wifi is working great, Tested on an AT&T tilt with no SIM card inserted. Was able to connect to the internet, download from the market, etc.

How do I get SIM to work and get the phone signal?

I am now using HERO UI with a calibration file extracted from the standard build. Apps are not being downloaded... Google maps also not working... (Always Force Close)
Paradox: You forgot to mention about rebooting the phone after running getrom.txt as per your instruction in the zip file.

Is it reasonably responsive on your kaiser? I tried one build of it today, and it was awful. I mean all the features are cool, but no amount of features can replace responsivness...

WIFI on Myn's Warm Donut RLS 5

Is this possible at the moment? I have it running smoothly right now (on POLA100) with no WIFI and don't want to try all the updates and risk putting myself back to step 1.
Also, downloaded an app from marketplace. download completed but it didn't install. Is this normal?
Thanks for everyone's hard work!

It's all I can do! If only I had the way to fix all the problems for both NAND and HaRET method, I would share it for you all, my friends.

rls 5
Managed to do the necessary partitioning of my hdsc card
7Gb FAT32 primary
256Mb Ext2 primary
256Mb ext2 primary
Installed it fine and wifi working but was running really slowly and processes kept hanging.
So I've gone back to my original RLS 5 without wifi and its working really quickly. Just going to hang on now for a new androidupdate file.
Thanks for all your help

if you have got this fix working for you, that means your phone is pola100. this fix does not work on pola200. i have tried it 6 times and after rebooting it shows the MYNS ANDRDOID screen and then a black screen after that.

I have android running using Haret in WM so I don't think I can use thie nbh provided by trouble2000, can I?
If I can, how do I do it? I'm still pretty new to this!
Dave

Yes, my phone is pola100.

I've now got it fixed.
Once I replaced zImage with Paipo compiled zImage and then did the update it worked fine, keeping all my settings and programs etc although I did need to choose my network again, BT Cellnet!!

dear bullet
once the blackscreen comes, it means that your phone is not working any more.
so cannot go to haret.
the only thing can be done then is to re-install the whole system. i didnt mind because i had backed up everything and syncing contacts through google is not a problem any more.

[Q] ad-hoc wifi network

I am thinking of picking up one of these, but I would need to be able to connect to an ad-hoc wifi network. does anyone know if this is possible? Also if anyone can tell me how much faster it appears to run after the stock overlay is removed I would appreciate it. Thanks all

As far as Ad Hoc, yes it can be done. Worked for me when I still had mine. Connected to the wifi from my Droid 1. You have to hack the wifi file a bit but its not hard.

can you tell me what you did to the wifi file? are you using wireless tether on the droid? thanks

Can you just rename the zip as update and run through the stock recovery?

The newer TnT Lite and VEGAn mods have this binary, already.
As for how much faster, not a lot versus adding a Tegra performance pack. If you want speed, you want the performance pack or run one of the mods above (especially VEGAn).

I want to keep it stock until after the next update. I just want to see how it works stock. Testing to see if this will be a good device for my father he isn't going to be flashing ROMS so I want to see what I can do with a stock ROM.
How do I get the Ad Hoc working with Stock ROM?

The Adhoc fix is in the wpa_supplicant file. You'll need to replace the stock version of that file from the version in the latest vegan or TnTlite build.
I'm not sure if you can simply connect to computer via USB, find the file, and replace it (I doubt it).
Perhaps you can create a recovery update that only replaces that one file. I don't know if it works, but you could try starting with a Vegan or Tnt build, keep the recovery folder, and delete everything in the update.zip except for the wpa_supplicant file.

[PATCH] Fully Working Skype on Gingerbread.

Hello all,
I've been messing around with the camera's driver library and parameter files and I finally managed to correct the parameter issue that was preventing the modded skype from using the front camera on video calls while using Gingerbread.
Now Skype is fully functional again. Bluetooth headsets also works (A2DP) even Bluetooth microphone works! (Using the official Skype app.)
Confirmed its working by 4 people now :-D.
The modification works in both theos00's V12 version and the official Skype app from the market.
Please don't use droidrx's version since it doesn't work properly and it's outdated.
Just flash it through CWM, uninstall and reinstall skype and you are set.
NOTE:
The patch is really simple and can be done manually. If you have a modified build.prop file and you are an experienced user please edit the file manually by making the changes below(If you have it already, you need to reinstall skype after these modifications):
Code:
ro.product.model=LG-P920
ro.product.brand=lge
ro.product.name=lge_Cosmopolitan
ro.product.device=p920
ro.product.board=omap4sdp
ro.build.product=p920
If for some reason you flashed the build.prop file already and got issues with other programs, then use the recovery file and do the changes manually instead.

Well dont use skype but if it works good job. Glad to see so many people contributing.
...fighting ninjas at night, talkin' about this and that.

Instead of skype, I'm using Tango.

The modification works in both theos00's V12 version and droidrx's version.
I recommend theos00 V12 since it has much more features and it's more up to date.
Don't forget to check the preview surface option if you use droidrx's version. theos00 V12 doesn't need that.
Just flash it through CWM, uninstall and reinstall skype and report back to this thread if it works for you.
EDIT: I updated the zip. Those who downloaded it yesterday and have problems can flash the new zip.
EDIT2: It's confirmed now that also the official Skype app from the market works after this modification

Now the camera don't work properly with Fring. I see my image inverted. Can you do something?: (

Are the files you changed loaded on boot or loaded every time the camera is being used?
I think that a simple app could solve this by letting the user change the files when they use skype and change them back when they are using other apps that wont run correctly with the modified files.
EDIT:
Saw now that it's the build.prop file and the TICameraCameraProperties.xml file which is loaded on boot.
So creating an app that requires root that basically changes back the files is easy, but it would required a reboot of the phone.
EDIT2:
I cant find any changes made in build.prop? Sure you changed anything there? Just found changes in the .xml file. Better leave the build.prop file out else this update will only work for v21a.
Anyway, great work!

Inverted how? Upside-down or mirrored? Mirrored meaning your right side is on the left. If that is the case then it's not a big deal if at least skype works!

The changes both in the xml file and the prop file are minor. In the xml file, the only thing I changed was the default resolution values.
In the prop file I changed some entries like the product and such. This is vital for the recognition of the device by the apps.
I think it might work with just the prop file. The xml file is needed by the modded droidrx and theos00 apps since they need 320x240 in order to work otherwise it's black screen. In the GB firmware the default resolution is 640x480 for the front camera so neither of these apps work.
I will try now with just the prop file changed and I will post back the results.
EDIT: Only droidrx version seems to have problem with the resolution. There is really no need to use his app since it's way outdated. First post updated with more info.

I've the same problem. With fring and skype. I use the king's Rom

Although I tried this with the official 21A and also with acura v5 and echts baxter roms, I see no reason not to work with other roms too. Did you try to uninstall skype and install it again? About fring I don't know. I will give it a try later.
You really need to uninstall skype and install it again. Otherwise it wont work.
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA App

Yep I've reinstall skype and fring. with the first patch I heven't a cam with sype, but a inverted upside down cam with fring. Whith the second patch the videocall programs don't see my frontal camera,also Fring work with the principal camera only.

I don't know about Fring, the thread is about Skype actually. And that is reported that works fine with any GB roms I've tried so far. I don't know if you use froyo but I haven't tried it yet.
So try that: Flash the restore file I have on my first post, then download again the patch file from my first post and flash it again.
Restart the phone and uninstall then install the official skype from the market.
Tell me if both Fring and Skype work normally

I'm sorry but Fring don't work. Skype is ok but I use so much Fring too. Is the only one app that work nice on nokia too for the videocall.

Hi!
Can you explain better how to install the patch please?
By example
Install skype from market
flash the zip
uninstall the skype
install the skype again from market..
I dont know if that is the right way to do it.
Thank

I noticed that sometimes when you start a call, skype will just not show you your own video. It will send your video to others but it won't show it to you as you will just get a black screen. Just drop the call and call again and it should get fixed. This is a skype bug and not Androids/LGs one.

It's not so much of an issue. It's just that LG changed some values on the build.prop file by making the phone not recognisable by skype. But the thing that's great is that for first time in history for the Android system, Skype does actually use the BT mic on a call! That has never happened before
Thanks anyway

Lumiatrix^7 v4.1 or RainbowMod v1.3

Hello everbody! I want to know what is the best custom rom. Is Lumiatrix^7 4.1 Or RainbowMod v1.3?
Another thing Lumiatrix^7 4.1 is an update of Lumia^7 v3?
Which of these do you want?
Sorry for my poor english...

Hi there...
I have tried them both on my Lumia 710, and in my opinion RainbowMod v1.3 is the best!
Lumiatrix^7 4.1 rom seems to have a few bugs.
I started out with Lumiatrix^7 4.1 rom but ran into some "strange" things and a few bugs almost right away so I desided to flash the RainbowMod v1.3 rom instead. Now everything is working fine on my phone and I have not found any bugs.

hi. I've had a Rainbow Mod 1.3 installed some time ago. In general it was working pretty fine except: I couldn't configure MMS messages (the problem is very common for Lumias, can be fixed by installing and using the Network Setup app but I failed to install v1.6.0.0 from 4pda (doe to some error) and it is absent in Marketplace). This was critical for me and I decided to update. Moreover the newer core was released but Tolik (RM author) wasn't ready with new update to RainbowMod so I decided to try the Lumiatrix7_v4.1. The update was fast and successful. I had to re-link all my contacts with the facebook and linked-in contact list again (btw, does smb. know how to avoid that?) and reinstall some of the apps. People are saying about better operational speed... being hornest I didn't notice that. I am missing some useful tools in Lumiatrix e.g. ActiveSync, Operation list linked to the Search button BUT I have managed to get my MMS working now! So I am kinda happy :laugh:

Did network setup app 1.6 come with your rom or did you install it by itself? Also, can you access the mms settings in the network setup 1.6 app?
I can't find it on xda so let me know if you got it off the rainbow rom preinstalled or if you downloaded and installed it from separately
