This is mainly a proof of concept rom i cooked up for good measure of root. thanx goes to maejrep for his help and testing.
this rom was just a dirty kang of the Nexus One update from google. for the most part its usable. meaning most things work. the down fall are the thing that dont.
What works:
- basic android
- JIT of course
- A2SD google style
- data
- phone
- hw3d
What doesnt work:
- cameras < i believe that it may be possible to fix at least the main cam. will work on this first
- mms < send can be fixed i know for sure. will come in next build
- 4G DATA < maejrep was working on this a bit. still not sure how 4G works just yet. i will look into it
- tethering < at the moment, its no dice
Info and the link:
FrOyO-EVO-test2
It works If you can do without camera (and the other things), it's usable, and works great.
Really curious about how this performs... anyone done a linpack benchmark yet? Or Quadrant? Also, do the tethering features work?
Hell, if this runs just as good as it does with the N1 -- and all I'm sacrificing is the camera, and 4G (which is flaky here anyway) -- I might be running this on day one!
They'll eventually be functional right?

Linpack got a 41, and sorry I don't remember what the Quadrant score was.
Oh right, tethering was the other thing that wasn't working... Toast should update his post
IIRC, the error was something to do with "softap", but I didn't spend a lot of time looking at it. I'll try to dive in to it this weekend to see if I can track it down
Eh, I can deal with pdanet's wired USB tethering for now
Flashing this now...
Can you say FroVo?

"Wifi tether for root" might work too .. didn't try it.
So, I did all the rooting / evo recovery stuff... and it seemed to be fine...
Did a wipe, then flashed this rom...
now it's got a picture of a phone and a Triangle with ! in the middle... I can get into the HTC recovery, but not sure how to get into the other recovery.
Any suggestions?
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>adb logcat
- waiting for device -
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: Permission denied (13) -
Got out of that "loop" by running the evo-recovery bat file, trying it again...
Same thing...

I'm having problems too. Seems the install likes to abort at line 36 for me. Still trying to figure it out.
Code:
Copying files...
E:Can't symlink /system/bin/reboot

Tried many different ways, including wiping everything and wiping nothing.

Getting that too. It only happens after an unsuccessful flash for me. A quick reboot back into recovery returns it back to normal though (through 'adb reboot recovery' then executing the script again)

Whoa.. Did you do both? Cause that would mean you don't have a reboot option The problem with the update script is it has both a reboot file, AND a line in the update script to symlink the reboot file. You should only need to fix one or the other for it to work. If you removed both the file and the line, you would have no 'reboot'.

Haha...good call.
I was just kinda anxious to try it out. Didn't quite think that one through.
nbd, you can fix it in recovery pretty easily, if you need to. Just symlink reboot to toolbox.. go back to the custom recovery, then:
Code:
$ adb shell
# mount /system
# cd /system/bin/
# ln -s toolbox reboot
done.
Can somebody running froyo try the multitouch visualizer and see if single and double touch is laggy like the stock ruu?

It seems that quite often after an upgrade (especially when using Apps2SD), Android rebuilds the /data/system/packages.xml file because it thinks you have reinstalled all of your apps. This results in missing apps, force closes, etc, because UIDs have changed and they don't match whats in your /data/data directory. It's almost always fixed by a wipe, but screw that
Download this file: http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/fix_permissions.sh
Push it to your sdcard, su, and run "sh /sdcard/fix_permissions.sh" and reboot. You should be good to go with NO WIPE!
Credit goes to this guy, I simply ported it to shell code: http://blog.elsdoerfer.name/2009/05/25/android-fix-package-uid-mismatches/
UPDATED: Now works with protected apps.

Well, there are some other factors, like app data that is stored in the same place but in a different format. You'd likely run into this going back and forth from an HTC based build like Hero or Sapphire and an Android based build like mine, Dude's, or JF's. I can't fix that situation, YMMV.
Except for that special case, this should do the trick.
I hope I don't sound like a complete idiot. Do you do this before or after the update and will this work with any update (like moving from ION to Rogers?

Thank you very much
Out of curiousity, is it even possible to implement this into ROM Builds? it would seem simple enough. however I haven't built my own ROM so I'm going off of what I know from programming. ask the guy who created it if you can use his work. lol you're the man, as always.
ok i may of did something wrong but i couldnt get it to work. i used the terminal emulator on the phone and typed the command and it says
mount: permission denied (are you root?)
it continued to do the script but said not permitted for each app.
i definately have root as i just installed your latest rom so what am i doing wrong?
Did you SU first?

Yeah, it should be possible. The script is a little slow, though, so it would need a way of detecting an upgrade in the first place, and it would have to run after all the apks are processed.

so may I ask... if I wanna go from Haykuro's Hero to JAC's 1.4... all I would have to do is... flash the new ROM and then run your script and I'm done?
That is the idea, yes.
Ran script and flashed from dude's to your build without wipe. I'm getting force closes on
android.process.acore
klaxon
weather widget free
I'm using marcus apps2sd.
Edit nevermind I'm a retard. Figured it out.
amazing, doing this after upgrading from 3.3.6 to 3.3.8 fixed all my issues so far! thank you sir!!

You ran the script first, before the flash? I believe the script is to be run after the flash. Try that and see what happens.
I will be accepting donations if you like my work. After contacting HTC, they informed me that my device is not under warranty, as a technician determined it to be "user related" damage and that all repairs will be at owner expense.

If you follow my twitter, you know I bricked my G1. I am trying to get it repaired, but due to the long response time I had to buy a mytouch (no point having two G1s IF the other one gets repaired). Using this bad luck to my advantage, I scripted a way for hero to run on both with two simple commands.
How I rooted a brand new "perfected SPL" MT3G and installed Hero in 15 min:

Updated, but still feeling slow? Back up. Try rm system/sd/app_s then reboot to recovery and wipe data. then install fresh. Before restoring your data, open the backup folder on your sd card and remove the subfolders for programs you no longer have or need to have backed up.
I noticed a 10% increase in speed and my phone was far from lagging to begin with.
Losing messages? Make sure that system/sd/app/com.android.mms.apk does NOT exist, as this was an old release. Go into settings for messaging (from the conversation list panel) and set priority to "High"
Most Recent:
G1 / MT3G: http://twistedumbrella.slackdev.com/ZeroXd-6.0.zip
Now includes dynamic swap. Rewrote the method of apps to sd for myTouch.
Build will move system apps, user apps, and dalvik to sd on a g1 device.
Build will ONLY move user apps to the sd when using a myTouch.
This will allow the system apps and dalvik to remain on internal device.
This is a completely new method of doing a merge build so bear with me.
I am going to be rewriting things for users without a lot of user apps, like myself.
This will allow the entire build to be placed onto internal for mytouch users.
Once you have updated and are ready to use the phone, execute Terminal and enter the following commands:
su
magic
This configures the system to the specific device. This is until I finish automation.
LEDs have been restored to 93%
Bluetooth restored in MT3G
Porting my own boots for MT3G
Based on the System Image from Haykuro
Using the Kernel and Boot.img from JAC

adb pull /system/sd/app_s/HTC_IME.apk c:\(*your directory*)\HTC_IME.apk
(***install the new one***)
adb push c:\(*your directory*)\HTC_IME.apk /system/sd/app_s/HTC_IME.apk
start your Messaging it will crash the first time you want to use the keyboard... restart Messaging and it should work...
HTC_IME.apk here: http://www.mediafire.com/?te0symyx4yz
Mms auto-rotate works for me in 5.1r2 so I dont know. But possibly you still have the old Mms.apk. Try pushing the new one from 5.0 or later rom...

zeroxd 5.2r4 seems to be faster than jacs 2.0 but i cant get auto rotate to work or multitouch and when i try the commands in first post i get "/system/xbin/su: not found''
did you try running the commands via adb ?
im not familiar with doing it that way i dnt even know wat adb is
just connect your phone to the pc
install the drivers from android SDK
start > run > cmd
cd to the android tools directory
and adb shell
that's how i did with my phone and works perfectly
im not gona risk any damage ill deal without the rotate for a day till its fixed

THIS IS FOR ECLAIR 2.1 DO NOT USE THIS IN A FROYO 2.2 ROM. SINCE THE 2.2 UPDATE WIRELESS N IS SUPPORTED OUT THE BOX. NO NEED FOR THIS HACK IN FROYO 2.2
edited by toastcfh to avoid mishaps
Update: Thanks to Calkulin there are now flashable zips on my blog post as well as just the driver. Just flash them like any other update.zip file.
So the Evo's WiFi chip supports Wireless N technology, which allows for faster throughput on your WiFi connection. To use this you obviously need a Wireless N capable AP or router. Basically, for some reason (I am going to assume battery life?), HTC decided to disable the wireless n capability of this chip but this can be fixed. Since we don't have the source for the driver we need to use a hex editor. Note, if using AOSP wireless n will already be enabled using the AOSP driver. But if you are using a Sense rom then you will need to do the following. Also I am including a download link with the driver that you can just push if you don't want to get dirty with a hex editor. Anyway, here we go:
1. Download a hex editor (I just googled hex editor and downloaded this one: http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/freeware/xvi32/xvi32.htm)
2. Go into a command prompt or shell and perform:
Code:
adb pull /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko ./bcm4329.ko.old
adb pull /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko ./bcm4329.ko
This will pull the file and make a backup in case you need to replace the backup.
3. In your hex editor open the file you just pulled. Now, in two spots HTC added 'nmode' in here to disable Wireless N. All we have to do is modify this string to be any other 5 character string and wireless N will be enabled. I did a search and replace and replaced 'nmode' with '-----' (Note: Do not include the single quotes).
4. Save the file.
5. Perform the following in a command prompt or shell:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko
Now wireless N should be enabled on your device. If not, restart it and try. If you ever want to restore your original just perform the following:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
adb push bcm4329.ko.old /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko
.
Below is the download link for the already modified wireless driver.
http://objectunoriented.com/android/?p=35
I downloaded the file and pushed it to my phone. I restarted the phone and once it came back up it connected on 802.11n. So far been working perfectly.
Sounds good, will try when I get home. But I have to say I was expecting this after I heard that the incredible is getting a patch to enable wireless n.
wow. clever little patch. im excited to try this! hopefully will at least allow better throughput if not also better signal with wireless n! thanks!!
on a technical side note, any reason why your /system is mtdblock3 while mine is mtdblock4?
cant wait to try this.... thanks
good stuff! gonna try this.

I have actually had this working for maybe a week now in my latest Superersonic rom but since I haven't had time to fix the root problem with that rom I just decided to post this seperately.
most of the power issues/concerns with wireless-n are targetted at the AP/Router i think... wondering if anyone has been seeing a drop in battery power though.

Back up your stock keyboard first:
Code:
adb shell cp /system/app/LatinIME.apk /system/app/LatinIME.apk.bak
adb shell cp /system/lib/libjni_latinime.so /system/lib/libjni_latinime.so.bak
FLASH (EASY) METHOD:
flash this from your recovery or from rom manager:
http://www.mediafire.com/?9yawjq9weakbl9y
Geo411m has made a black colored one. details here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7684399&postcount=211
install the same as the easy way, otherwise download it and pull the apk out of it and install it with the manual method
ENJOY!
MANUAL (OLD) METHOD:
get both of these files:
apk:
fixed4: http://www.mediafire.com/?7q0406gqazq8rer
(harder vibrate, < symbol fix)
if you had an older version, be sure to switch to a different keyboard, then remove the old LatinIME.apk before pushing the new one over, otherwise you will get fc's like crazy!
lib:
(you may not need this, but it shouldnt hurt anything (backup instructions below) and if the keyboard doesnt work, then definitely try pushing it)
http://www.mediafire.com/?awy84cz5t8ngx49
some have reported that for some reason or another this file downloads as a .txt (although it comes as a .so for me all the time) make sure you rename it, if need be, to libjni_latinime.so before going any further
you will need adb for this method (others have done it without a computer)
youll either want to be in recovery, with /system mounted, or remount it read-only while the phone is up (need s-off for this, thanks unrevoked!)
then push the two downloaded files to your phone: (in some roms it is called GoogleLatinIme.apk, so use that instead of LatinIME.apk if thats how your rom is)
Code:
adb push d2keyboard-signed-fixed4.apk /system/app/LatinIME.apk
adb push libjni_latinime.so /system/lib/libjni_latinime.so
choose your input method like always, and enjoy the multi-touch keyboard on froyo
ok, the screenshots really dont mean much, anyone can use gimp, but w/e thought id put them up there anyway

Works on BB v.4 for the Droid and this is sick!! Thanks so much.
Can you just install the app like you normally would?
And what's the second file for?
Thanks.

You were right, install the app but it kept force closing. Thanks. I'm using Skyraider 2.2
I can't tell you how excited I was when I pushed this on my phone, not because of how it is a much better keyboard then the stock one. I was excited because I was able to push this system without having to be in recovery. UnrEVOked is amazing!
BTW.. I am having no issues with this so far. Excellent keyboard, good port!

i cant tell you how excited i was when the keyboard finally popped up on my screen!
thanks for the feedback
i'm running sapphire 1.0 and i was able to install with Root explorer.
Works on skyraider 2.2 - no pc required. I did have to copy over the lib file with root explorer. Btw I am typing on this keyboard now and it is amazing at correcting mistakes!

I can't push the .so file to my phone, the keyboard fc's on me when I try to select it in the input method section, so I thought i would try pushing the lib, but it keeps saying the directory doesn't exist.
this is exactly what i type
adb push libjni_latinime.so /system/lib/libjni_latinime.so
cannot stat: 'libjni_latinime.so' no such file or directory
It downloaded for me as a. Txt extension. I had to change it to .so - check to see if that happened to you

Oh i thought it was supposed to be in the root of my sd card just like the apk.
in your build.prop replace the current text with this: you can get things like tv.com back
Code:
ro.build.description=passion-user 2.2.1 FRG83 60505 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2.1/FRG83/60505:user/release-keys
i would upload one for people to flash but as some many people are on diff roms/kernels it would just cause more issues then its worth best way to go about fixing it is pulling the file from your phone (or the zip from teh rom your on). swapping out the text and pushing it back to /system
all credit goes to Decad3nce for the fix
Didn't s work for me...

Wouldn't you like to be more specific? Your current instructions technically mean to replace the entire file with just those three lines...

Please note that users of Quantum Rom already have this fix applied, since 1.3
(Used the epic 2.1 key in 1.3, 1.4+ use the nexus one key)
Thanks shabby xD

Here's what I did from my PC with adb. (I have adb in my PATH so adjust the commands for wherever you might have adb.exe)
adb pull /system/build.prop
Then I edited the 2 lines on my PC with notepad++ and saved. Then I put it on my sdcard, remounted /system readwrite and copied it over to /system/build.prop and then rebooted.
adb push build.prop /sdcard/build.prop
adb shell
su (if your ROM didn't already drop you in to root, and check your phone for the superuser popup)
mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
cat /sdcard/build.prop > /system/build.prop
reboot

didnt work for me. I been trying to get the PayPal 2.2 to show up on the market but its a no go.
Im using Froyo also.
anyway we could just get the paypal.apk??
This didn't work for me either. Trying to get Pocket Blu installed, but it isn't working. TV.com isn't showing either. FWIW I have the new Market app if that means anything.
Any ideas?

Did you reboot your phone?
yes, and after rebooting a rechecked my build.prop file to make sure it took, and it was correct
Nevermind, I got it to work...
The end of the second line was missing the s. Put the s in, and it works perfect.
Can I get some clarification on this? I am using Mammon 1.0.3.1 and cannot get my sprint football ap to work.
Would this be an example of what this would fix?
Could the MSID number in my phone being different from my phone number be the reason it doesn't think this is a SPrint phone?
Thanks for posting a fix but it also didn't seem to work for me. I have been trying to load a program called Laser Appraiser from maket with no avail. Can anyone find it in their market?

Thanks, Hmm I think I'll just wait for the latest froyo release and see if that helps
I tried downloading it and saving it to my SD card, but it's a protected app. I use AppMonster, which backs up all the apps for when I do flashing, but it doesn't do protected ones. Sorry man, I tried.
sorry i havent replied, most of the roms out there SHOULD have this baked in... i know acs and quantum do and the cm rom should but ill ask noob just to be sure.
