No new OS after flashing.

Hi, I apologize for probably asking something that's been asked before (note: I've tried to find the answer but no luck) but I'm a little confused.
I've flashed a downloaded ROM a few times but the original OS keeps coming up.
I've got a IMate KJam and would like to flash WM6 on it. I'll detail what's I've done.
1. I've run lokiwiz and seleced 'C' to do the CID unlock, seems to have worked (some locked and unlocked files got generated).
2. I've downloaded nbd.v7.4 and unpacked it.
3. I've run the standard ROMUpdateUtility Wizard that same in the zip file but it gave me "ERROR [300] : INVALID UPDATE TOOL"
4. I downloaded ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.zip and ran the exe that was in the zip file, the good news is that the KJam resets to 'rainbow' mode and seems to update the flash - bar goes from 0-100% then resets.
Once reset the OS is the original WM5 that came with the KJam.
What did I miss? Again I'm sorry is this is answered elsewhere, I've just not been able to find a solution myself.
Thanks.

step 1. Read more carefully the sticky post

You're not unlocked. You actually skipped the first and very important step of flashing back to an older ROM to get your IPL/SPL to an earlier version.
Follow these instructions VERY carefully and don't skip over any parts at all. Read through it once or twice before starting any of the steps.
(these instructions are for G3 devices, for G4, go here)
Good luck!

Thanks for the help guys.I'm managed to come right with the ShellTools app.
The only problem I've had with WM6 is that when I click on the contacts soft button (or click it from the menu) it starts loading then disappears. I can't access it at all. Everything else seems fine though. Any ideas?

I remember that fault occurring with some of the roms though I dont specifically remember which rom, possibly some of the 318 builds. From memory I fixed this by doing another hard reset.

Thanks for al the assistance. I've flashed the XDA Mobile 6 Release 2a and am very happy.
WM6 has much much better wireless lan support. With the stock standard wm5 my kjam wouldn't connect to my WAP2 configured network, now it work! Great job on packing the Roms guys.
On the matter of the the contact not appearing / working. The following would happen: Once WM6 was flashed, and a hard reset done the usual process of initialization took place, which included screen alignment, time and time zone configuration, setting of a password and then the part that seemed to be causing the problems, the setting up for a email account/messageing. I on numerous occations skipped the setting up for email as I won't do email on the device. Once 'botted' the device would work fine with the new ROM the only problem would be that when I pressed the 'contacts' soft key or selected it from the menu the contact 'application' would seen to start up but die or6 not appear. This means that the title/top bar would display the title of the contact application but would in a fraction of a second die / abort / crash.
I assume that the email / messaging part of the hardboot startup sets up something that is required for the contacts application. Just for reference I just setup the email/messaging details (name, email address, pop server, username & password). After setup I didn't check email once, I then just deleted the email account setup and the contacts app is still working.
For newbees, I recommend the ShellTool applications, it allowed a new Wizard owner and newbee rom flasher to get a new rom flashed very easlily. My Wizard was a G4 with the 'recent' IPL/ISL bits so I can't speak for G3 users.
Nice one guys, great forum. I'm verry happy with my WM6 kjam.

Chinese input hack

I got this from some chinese forum, i forgot which 1 cuz i dl it in school, so no history.
As you all know chinese input is currently not avalabile on the vanila rom, some chinese dude figured it out.Works on all roms
anyway here are the steps
Download the needed files http://w14.easy-share.com/4297691.html
Read everything carefully before proceeding with the 1st step.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any data loss or bricking(nearly impossible to happen), "First uppercase","Numbers","All Uppercase" ect typing style will be lost,only the "All lowercase" will be left.
Note : I did it with a card reader and a microSD card, I have no idea what would happen if you install in the phone.
Step 1: Install PlumSIP5 SP10 V5.0.1.CAB in your phone. Don't touch anything after that.(Install it in your card).
Step 2: Using activsync Rename PlumSIP5.dll that is in your phone(/storage) to another name like "PlumSIP5old.dll"
Step 3:Copy the PlumSIP5.dll that is in plum_dump into /storage to replace the one u just renamed.
Please do not try to type anything or it will freeze.
Step 4:Reboot your phone(switching it off and on)
Step 5:Copy everything that is in plum_dump to /Storage Card/ProgramFiles/PlumSIP5(you may use a card reader)
Step 6:Modfiy the settings to your liking(in Start) I recomend u to use the vista skin.
How to use it:
Switch between chinese and english or numbers using the */T9 key on the keypad or the space(you need to press Fn 1st) on the keyboard.

it seems like the Input method in ASUS phones. i've tryed that one .but it can not exist with other IM.
what about yours? can i change IM if i installed your version?

I will work on typing textbox, including IM and text message.

i've tryed your one,but all the same... i want to use German input method and chinese IM at the same time, it so hard to achieve.!

dear, feel honor that you like the way inputting PLUMSIP.
--it's me found this way to use plumsip in my S710 bought from HK
(in China, only those HTC S710 branded with DOPOD C730 can come with PLUMSIP)
attached is well finished file -- in .CAB format and then you need install it without any complex procedures.
BTW: I'm not the developer of PLUMSIP.
it belongs to a company from China.
enjoy！

Saw nothing.
Guess this may not be used for HD .... only for HD2.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S GT I-9008 in China. No Android market application !

Hello,
just got a Samsung Galaxy S in China (under the name of samsung GT-I9008) and use it with China Telecom as the carrier/operator
Specs as follows
Model Name : GT-I9008
Hardware version : 1.0
Firmware version : Ophone OS 2.0
Kernel : 2.6.29 Zeus 1
To my biggest disappointment, the phone doesnt come with Android market but with the Mobile phone operator own device called MM ( Mobile Market) which is only in Chinese !! and very limited in terms of applications you could download.
Is there any way I could install instead Android Market ?
Many thanks in advance for your reply
Christophe

I have the same problem in middle east.
Any help please.

I helped a friend with the same phone. Basically do the following:
1. Download and install z4root
2. Download the Cyanogenmod Google Apps (EPE54B)
3. Open up the update.zip file and get Vending.apk out of \system\app\ and copy to SD card using UMS mode.
4. Use File Explorer on the phone to copy the file from /sdcard to /data/app
5. Reboot

Any luck installing Google Apps on i9008 (Samsung Galaxy S for TD-SCDMA)?
Guys,
I followed the instructions posted on this thread and other sites, to help a friend who recently bought this phone. Successfully rooted the phone. Installed the Google Apps as instructed, but they all are malfunctioning to the point of being unusable.
- Gmail - only works OK with one account, will not allow extra accounts
- Google Maps - zooming does not function
- YouTube - does not even start
- Market - gets stuck at 0% download point for any downloaded apps
If someone managed to install any (or all of these) Google Apps on their i9008, I would be grateful for instructions on how to properly install.
thanks!!

I installed after updating the official ROM to the latest version. This is 2.1 eclair rather than 2.0 based so may explain why it doesn't work for some people. In that case, using the cyanogenmod 4 gapps files may work.
Another possibility is that not all files were copied from the extracted update.zip to the relevant places under /system (yes, it is /system, not /data as I mentioned in my last post)
These would be /system/app, /system/framework etc.
I daresay that you'll need to copy all files from the folders in update.zip over to the right places. I had to delete some of the Chinese apps to make space for all gapps.
Tell me if it works for you. Cheers.

Hi ,
thanks for your input! As I am not at all an expert on technical stuff and do not want to have my phone no longer working, please let me recap :
- I have downloaded the file z4root.1.3.0.apk --> then i have to install it on my SD card and launch the application?
- Checked to download the "Cyanogenmod Google Apps (EPE54B) and it appears on ur link that there are dozens of different files according to phone models but none for the Samsung GT I-9008. Kindly let me know which one to consider.
Did your friend with the same phone eventually managed to have all google apps including the english android market by doing such installation?
Again, the specs of my phone are :
Model Name : GT-I9008
Hardware version : 1.0
Firmware version : Ophone OS 2.0
Much appreciate your help !
Best
Christophe

Yes, we did manage to get the English market (and many Google apps) running properly.
With zroot, install then run it, choose the permanent root option. It'll reboot the phone to finish the rooting.
The gapps version you need to download is listed in the Cyanogenmod 5 row (android 2.1 or eclair based) and is under the HDPI column (means high dots per inch, or just a high resolution display as the i9008 has). Any of the links in that entry should be fine if they work.
I have realised that in my last post, I mentioned copying to /system/app. This is not possible unless you do the following:
Get http://androidterm.googlecode.com/files/Term.apk install same way as zroot.
Run it then type:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
Quit out of it then copy the extracted contents of update.zip to the corresponding directories under /system using file explorer.

Same thing happened to me w/
Model Name : GT-I9008
Hardware version : 1.0
Firmware version : Ophone OS 2.0
I had to follow the instructions above

thanks for your input..
Is your phone also operated by China Mobile ? was told that it was not possible to root the GT I-9008 being operated by China Mobile.
Anyhow, will try and follow above process.

Well I have watched an interview for Galaxy S2 and they showed a new technology in it...And told that they are challenging the Android market as Android challenged the Iphone...

How about this? Any news?

Hi, now I need some help...
I playing with my China Mobile I9008 yesterday, and as I trying without sucess to find a way to install the market, I think I installed a wrong version of clockworkmod, now my I9008 is bricked (I think). Its starts but after first screen (where's appears I9008 name and so on) the boot come back to ophone screen and keep in this looping more than 20 times... full wipe and others doesn't work
In my mind if I apply again the update.zip can solve, but my file having problems showing erros, can not read the file, etc...
I tryed to find this file but I have no success...
Someone can help me? have some update.zip to my i9008ZMJI1 firmware version?
Thanks.

Install factory image
Ok, I've been trying to find a way to install CM (and the market app) onto my GT-I9008L and have managed to nearly brick my phone a number of times. The only thing I have succeeded in is rooting my phone (use Z4root) and installing a fresh factory image.
(I apologize for broken links, XDA doesn't trust me to post clickable links yet)
To install a fresh factory image:
a) Get the software from this Chinese thread: bbs.dkdiy.net/thread-12788-1-1.html
--The first message in the thread has a link to a RAR file that contains everything you need. Including all the tools & the image itself
--To see the link you'll have to create an account and post to the thread
--I was able to do it by using a combination of google chrome and google translate to work my through the free registration process.
b) run Odin v1.81 (I've tried other versions of Odin...they don't work)
c) select the files shown in this image: www .dkdiy.net/article.asp?id=633
d) the file versions in the image don't match the RAR file. The key is put the CSC file into the CSC blank, the CP file in the "phone" blank, the "all low" file into the PDA blank and the PIT file into the PIT blank
e) make sure you have selected the checkboxes in the image
f) start your phone by holding volume-down+home+power
g) when you see the yellow android digging plug your phone into your computer (you may need the samsung drivers)
h) wait for odin to detect your phone (the first box under ID:COM will turn yellow and list the com-port that your phone is connected to)
i) hit start, wait about 3 minutes, you will see the progress bar update every 5-10 seconds
j) it will auto reboot and finish the installation
To root your phone I followed the instructions on this chinese thread (use google chrome to get an instant translation):
ibbs.91.com/thread-53590-1-1. html

DUDE!!!
I think i got some good news.
I have the same problem with my new S2 bought in China, no Android market. I've been searching all around the web to try to fix it.
It is still not working for me, but i got a little bit farther though.
I find the hint here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351283
So what i did and what you can try is:
1) Install GoogleServicesFramework.apk
This seems to be the issue, as when you install it you can see the permissions Google requires, and pretty much says the can access ALL the data in your phone. (It would explain the censorship)
2) Install Android Market with any .apk you can find
3) Launch Android Market
The change for me is i can now input my account login. But it still fails connecting to google to actually login. Maybe because i'm still in china and it blocks the connection.
Could any one try this outside china and tell me if it works?
Cheers
EDIT:
By connecting my APN and Wifi (instead of wifi alone) i managed to finally loggin. I HOW NOW ACCESS TO ANDROID MARKET !!!
But not so fast. I have access to the market, but i get an error when downloading an app. So it is still not working, but getting closer. I sent an e-mail to google see if they can fix this (seems my account and my device are still not linked). Waiting for the reply...

Alright it's working now !!!
After exchanging a couple e-mail with google, i managed to download some apps.
I've been testing it for a couple hours now, works like a charm.

WiFi is not present
Thank you for the excellent job. So far so good. Only WiFi is not working. Do you have any clue about this issue

How to fix "No image exists !!" or a bricked iPAQ 5xx Voice Messenger
after flashing newer rom smartphone watch "no image exist" on blank sccreen.
is this problem may solved without service center? (at home)
may be we say us about jtag?

Recovery
No jtag needed, this signs that your boot loader is fine. You just need to do a proper flash.
How to fix your phone and install this ROM:
Download the Russian original ROM from first post
Let it extract, close the updater and then replace extracted executables with those from folder "flash" in package kitchen
Take out battery from your phone, put it back. Run hpRUU.exe to flash original Russian ROM. Just run that file, don't press anything yet. Now take your phone, push and hold volume down and left cursor and while holding those two, connect the USB cable. Release the buttons. Now your phone should turn on in DBS Loader mode.
Let the phone update by pressing next, next...update...
After some restart and messages, you should have running system.
Now build your 6.5.3 custom ROM with language of your choice
After the ROM is built, updater with newly created rom will be launcher, let him do the job
After he successfully updates the phone, phone restarts but will be stuck, disconnect USB cable, take out battery, put it back in and press and hold center button and press red power button, phone asks about master reset so do it
Enjoy your updated phone
BTW when I tried to use update to this ROM on W7 x64, updater crashed, but with XP I successfully recovered the phone. If you will have problems with these instructions, try to take out batter, put it back, push and hold 8+5 and press red power button. This should be some kind of cleaning, I don't know for sure. First time I used the system, WiFi was working, but now disappeared
And now - many thanks to veisen!!! Good job plus Czech language, thank you!

PWord and OneNote error
Did your PWord and OneNote starts normal with other language as English?
I think there is something wrong with the MUI files or something else...

hi veisen
first of all great job, ROM looks great and its easy for use,
but its pitty for wifi and i dont know what could be reason for wifi not to work, i tried to look in registry but no luck.
Now i have seen that some russians did kitchen and ROMs as well and their work turned good because they impement Titanium look and their wifi worked but the problem is that ROM is only in russian.
So could u exemine their ROM trough your kitchen and add whats missing? i would do it by myself but i have no expirience and i have no knowlegde to do it.
here is link, you could translate it trough google translate cuz its in russian:

[ROM] (Flytouch 2, SuperPad, WWE10) Froyo

This thread is for the custom Froyo rom for the Flytouch 2. It is a port of the first Flytouch 3/Superpad 2 Froyo rom, adapted to run on the flytouch 2. I will update this post whenever a new version has been released.
This rom will only run on tablets which display a version number in the bottom-right "Infotmic" screen when first turned on.. If yours doesn't display a number there, you will need to flash firmware v2852 first, see below in FLASHING V2852
INSTALLATION
Installation is slightly different from normal releases because it requires flashing in 2 steps. Luckily, it's really easy:
1. Download bootable SD-card image and unzip. Pick an image from the RELEASES section at the end of this post.
2. Write image to an SD-card that's at least 1GB in size using Win32DiskImager:
Get Win32DiskImager here: https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer
In Win32DiskImager: When you open it, there is a button to browse the .img file and after that, at the right of this button there is a selector for the SD-card. Select it, then click write and it's done.
When finished, take out the card.
In linux, you just unzip the file and use dd to write it to the sd-card:
Code:
dd if=/path/to/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX # (where sdX is your scsi disk device, check dmesg)
3. Turn off tablet and put sd-card in TOP slot (between the 2 usb ports).
4. Turn on tablet. It will report that it is booting off the sd-card, and that it's flashing kernel + filesystems.
5. Take out the sd-card when the tablet asks you to do so (takes less than a minute). Put it in the OTHER sd-card slot (bottom one), and reboot the tablet by holding down the power for 10 seconds to turn it off, then press it again to turn it on.
6. You will now see the tablet booting with a *GREEN* screen. The screen will flash twice to indicate it's starting. The flashing itself will take longer than in the previous step, a few minutes. If succesful, it will automatically reboot, after which you're done and you're booting the new firmware! You'll see a different boot screen (equalizer on a black background)
7. After it has booted and you have unlocked the screen, reboot the tablet first thing! First boots in android always tend to be behave erratically. This is unrelated to this firmware and applies to all Android setups.
If step 6 fails (which is very unlikely), it will stay on the green screen and it will keep on flashing the screen. In that case, you'll have to turn it off. Most likely problem for this is a corrupt SD-card. See troubleshooting below.
Make sure to never put that sd-card back in the top-slot without erasing it first, as it will reflash your tablet!
TROUBLESHOOTING
The 'green screen' keeps flashing!
The installer will dump a text file on the root of the sd-card which you can inspect. The file is called fail_reason.txt. If no such file exists, things are seriously wrong and the tablet couldn't even properly write to the sd-card. If using another SD-card, or rewriting the SD-card doesn't help, please upload the fail_reason.txt file here.
Flashing was succesful, but the system freezes at the android animation!
For this firmware to work, you need to have a recent version of u-boot. You can tell if you have this by looking at the INFOTMIC bootscreen you see when you turn on the tablet. If the bottom right corner does not show a version number, then you don't have it.See instructions below.
FLASHING V2852
You need to flash this firmware to install a new version of u-boot. To flash this firmware, you will need to connect your tablet to your PC using an USB A-A cable, OR create a bootable SD-card.
Download firmware V2852: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?3bkklw36b1414nd
Download and unpack IUW: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?3572bd7zfjo0r0y
Start IUW
If you use an USB cable: Click 'Link USB' on the left, select 'easy burn' from USB Mode pulldown in the right. Connect tablet to PC with the tablet turned offf, then turn it on by pressing & holding the menu+home buttons, then pressing the power button until it turns on. Release the menu+home buttons after a few seconds. Windows should now detect a new USB device. Install the drivers that are in the iuw1.1/otg_driver directory.
If you create a bootable SD-card, Click 'boot disk' on the left instead. Select sd-card to flash on the right
Select the IUS file form the v2852 firmware under 'Choose a wrapped image'
Click 'burn' to flash the tablet or create the sd-card. If you created an sd-card, boot the tablet with the sd-card in the top-slot, between the 2 USB connections.

Hi everyone.
I just made a personal version of system.tar.gz, and I thought it could be usefull for someone.
Most considerable changes:
Calendar and contacts synchronization now working again.
Simple stock froyo keyboard, without chinese characters.
Replaced youtube with the old working version.
Market updated to last version (no paid apps, though.).
Default launcher replaced with launcher pro, which is considerably faster.
Removed phone and telephony settings (see below)
Other changes:
Removed stock browser, replaced with dolphin browser HD.
Removed default file explorer, replaced with File expert (first free file explorer with working root that I found).
Changed alarm clock.
Changed calculator (but has wrong visualization).
Changed music player with music mod.
Added facebook, maps (+ navigation + latitude +places), chrome to phone, google search, google reader, terminal emulator, Titanium backup, voice search. adobe reader.
Maybe I deleted some other stupid flytouch stock apps, but actually I don't remember.
Warning, notes etc...:
All apps are free apps from market.
Phone apps (Phone.apk, TelephonySettings.apk) removed for test, due to suspected battery drain (Someone said so...), so:
Phone settings don't work (gives you force close when you tap on mobile settings menu)
Don't install if you use 3g adapters, as I think you won't be able to use them.
Maybe some future workarounds for paid apps on market won't work.
App2sd doesn't work. (Didn't even work before. I think there's some problem in the kernel with device mapper and crypto). I'll try to implement the fake app2sd that uses an ext partition on sd.
This is just a personal versionof stargulus' system files with apps I'm used to have on my phone, so maybe it won't fit you.
How to install:
First important step: boot in recovery mode (back + home +power until you get in recovery menu), and wipe cache and data. This must be done. It also helps to have stragulus' calibration file installed correctly.
Prepare the sd as described in the first post of this thread using the last Stragulus' sdcard image (v4, See link in this post).
Go to "stage2" directory and replace system.tar.gz and system.tar.gz.md5 with the downloaded ones.
Flash.
The first boot will be quite long, but it's normal.
While using the flytouch for the first time, it will probably lag and hang. Just reboot and it won't happen anymore.

I hope this will be usefull. Advices are welcome.

Cheers! I welcome custom mods of the base rom. I'm willing to add them as alternatives to the first post by linking to the introductory posts. In this case, it looks like parts of it are suitable for integrating into the base froyo rom (e.g. calendar & contact sync fix). What exactly did you do to fix those?

Wonderful, downloading now at 7.8K/sec (why sooooo slow?)
Is Google Sync fixed?
Thanks,
Barak
Later:
Well, if I add Verandi's MOD I get sync but I loose calibration option.
Still, I prefer the MOD with sync.
Thank you guys. Amazing Job !!!

Please note that verandi has created a V5 mod that adds sync option without eliminating calibration.

Good luck.

Your uboot - 0.6.1.2 (587) http://www.mediafire.com/?4hx8xt38vnhh22b
My uboot - 0.6.1.5 (587) http://www.mediafire.com/?bv4ixzeq34q5bi7
what's the latest?
which should I use?
EDIT:
If possible enable a swap partition to optimize tablet in ROM? (we have little RAM)
Camera have a problem. Green image in V5 (24/04/2011)

@ Stragulus
I've been waiting for

In my case loader version number is missing. But u0 is 0.6.1.2_1.4.587_OV2655 and u-boot from 2852. And all work fine.
Probably condition is flashing firmware 2852 in the tablet instead of only u0?
IMHO.
Because the firmware is full image and contained u-boot and u0. Flashing u0 need only if camera don't work with 2852 from full image. Of course, if the tablet has not been purchased already with firmware 2852 and above. Without this step you will get many reports of "fre-e-e-ezing" or "stop in android on screen" like in the previous thread.

hello
I have stitched from card Froyo V5
The tablet is loaded and asks calibration, but it does not work: (
Was 3245, but it has ceased to be loaded and I have updated on Froyo
I do not know what at me uboot how it to look? Probably to update it with sd?

По русски спроси. Я tuzzz c форума china-iphone.ru.
Ask question in Russian. I tuzzz from the forum china-iphone.ru.

Вообщем поставил Froyo (v5)
после прошивки при первом запуске появляется калибровка экрана, но на нажатия никак не реагирует
поставил назад 3245, на ней все нормально
Возможно ли это из-за загрузчика uboot, как можно посмотреть его версию и возможно ли обновить его с SD, т.к. возможности с ПК нету?
google translate:
In general set Froyo (v5)
after flashing at the first startup, a calibration screen, but clicking does not react
put back 3245, her everything is ok
Is this possible because of the boot uboot, as you can see its version and whether it is possible to update it with SD, because capabilities with a PC no?

Answer on russian forum.
Also read from here and below.

That could be true indeed! I thought those who fixed their problem only flashed U0, but maybe all of them actually tried to flash all of v2852 with the IUW tool. Upshot here is that it should be possible to flash the entire firmware using a bootable SD-card, e.g. not requiring an USB cable.
Can anyone confirm that creating the bootable SD-card for FW2852 using IUW as described in the first post fixed their install of the froyo setup?

If you create a bootable SD-card, Click 'boot disk' on the left instead. Select sd-card to flash on the right
Select the IUS file form the v2852 firmware under 'Choose a wrapped image'

After Burn a card sd the empty
This way does not work
Used Win7 x64 and virtual WinXP x86

Excellent Work
Many thanks stragulus!!!!!!!
Now I once again have a usable Pad - the Calibration works perfecly!!!
My route to Froyo was from 3245 to v4. I HAD to flash U-Boot-Nand FIRST. This gave me the Infotm code in the bottom R.H.corner. The only problem was with the calibration.
Again MANY THANKS. Please continue to develop for the Pad.

Hmm. I do now recall that someone tried all those methods before to no avail. When I flashed this firmware, I think I did:
* Flash all of FW2852 (over USB)
* Found out that it didn't work 100% as it still booted an older ramdisk
* So after that, flashed U0 with u-boot-nand.bin. That triggered the 2-minute tablet going crazy on first boot.
* Then flashed all of FW2852 again, and now it worked.
Soo.. I think bottomline is, if you haven't seen the tablet go crazy for 2 minutes, it probably didn't work. Question is, is just flashing U0 once with u-boot-nand.bin enough..? It appears this does not work for everyone!?

Hi!
I replaced GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk and GoogleCalendarSyncadapter.apk with the ones from my phone. I am 98% sure I replaced only these two, because I didn't note down the names.
Now I'm trying to solve the next problem I have in the list: I can't leave the pad in standby, as it drains the battery like it was awake.
Yesterday I had a look at proc/wakelocks file to see which processes are requesting wakelocks.
Comparing this file to others around the net and the one of my phone, I found out that some processes were active during standby (they had 0 value in sleep_time row).
Now I haven't here my flytouch, so I can't be precise (I'll edit this lines next days), but I remember that some processes and powermanager were never sleeping (in all other wakelocks files, powemanager was sleeping on standby but main process not, so I think powermanager is faulty and main process not.).
Powermanager is a class contained in system/framework/services.jar so I tried replacing this file with my phone's one. It worked as the wakelocks file was showing that powermanager began to sleep on standby, but I had no improvement in battery life on standby, as, I'm quite sure, the other processes prevent the full sleep of the device.
To you and everyone who reads this: can you give me a help?
Can you fully recharge the flytouch, then disconnect the power supply, note down the start time, live it in sleep mode and then measure how long it takes to get discharged?
It tried myself today: unplugged at 16.30, left it in standby, died at around 19:20 ---> 2h50m of battery power on standby.
(If you also can tell me how long it stays on when you use it, and what kind of use you made, I would really appreciate too! )

Hail to Stragulus.. unlocking the beast!!!!
stragulus,
as usual.. I am riding on someone else's brilliance.. thanks for the update..
Will load it up tonight when get home from work..
My only wish is app2sd...
it has made such an improvement to my Evo with ability to load programs in..
So if someone wants to come up with a fix.. I am sure you will make many internally grateful!!!!
Edit after flashing:
Flashed the clean version WITHOUT verandi addons..
the Calibration works perfectly
feels fast and clean..
had problems with launcher pro .. and Titanium backup..
for some reason using Launcher pro it would not allow Titanium to see the sdcard.. thus couldnt restore my backups..
Played round for a while.. upgraded to Titanium 3.6.1.1 same thing..
went in and wiped Dalvik cache.. still no go..
have shut down launcher pro and installed ADWlauncher (almost the same as launcher pro)
walla.. now Titanium is seeing the SDcards and backup.. confirmed that it restored backed programs and data..
Market is working for me.. just wondering if we can port market from Myn’s Warm TwoPointTwo - RLS 5 into this rom..
as this may be the workaround that will get past the only free apps showing.. I am using it on my Evo and in China..
so usually only get to see free apps.. but with MWTPT I am getting all apps.. I do understand there is a app floating round that is suppose to be able to reset Market in to thinking it is in a zone that will allow it to show all apps.. may need it to load in to this Rom..
Will put it through its paces and report back over the coming week..

Hmmm. This time is extremely low for standby mode. I use kernel from 3245. With this kernel battery indicator won't work properly but OS works more stable.
Also I removed Phone.apk and TelephonyProvider.apk. I don't need 3g modem. And 3g modem still does not work with this firmware.
With full charged battery I disconnected charger from tablet at 22:00 (in my local time). Now is 5:25 in my local time and tablet has ~4% battery indicator. From my experience tablet shut down after 5-10 minutes. All this time tablet is in standby.

Excellent work and thank you for the Google sync fix - it makes my wowpad WOW!!!
Can you please add these files to the V5 version? Without them there's no sync. If I add your V4 files to the V5 rom there's no calibration. I wonder what else is lost !!!
Thanks,
B

Great job. Thank you about that. I've a little question.
I've updated my Flytouch with you sdcard V5. Everything works fine, but i can't get the connection with USB 3G dongle. How i can do ?
There's a program to get the connections ?
I've tried with "quick setting" but nothing happens.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you about that.
Best regards
