LauncherPro VERSION
This is a rooted version of the Official T-Mobile MyTouch 3G (32b) OTA update for Froyo(2.2.1). It is a modified version of what amazinglarry311 has here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=811852. This will PROBABLY be the final update for this ROM. I got a MyTouch 4G, so I need to start working on something for it now. Hopefully this will make everyone happy. There are 2 versions of the final, one with ADW and one with LauncherPro. The Sense style clock/weather widget is now included, and I changed the MMS back to stock...which will hopefully resolve the missing text messages. I still haven't managed to get everything to work with the Apps2SD. However, thanks to G_wiz I have code which allows most apps that you download to be moved to SD. Just enter the following in the terminal:
su
pm setInstallLocation 2
reboot
This is case sensitive! This sets the SD card as the primary install location. So if an app will move to SD, this makes them be installed directly to SD. Someone had also requested a reboot option on the power menu. Still no option for that, but there is a reboot widget you can download from the market for free.
This is for 32b phones, however 32a phones have had success running it as well. You should still be able to flash this on top of Version 1.0, 1.1 or amazinglarry311's version, otherwise you should wipe before flashing. Stock radio and spl should work fine. If you have successfully flashed Cyanogenmod's CM5 or CM6, you should be able to flash this.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes from Version 1.1:
Added: LauncherPro version-LauncherPro 0.8.1.1, Stock MMS, SenseClockDark.apk
ADW Version-Stock MMS, SenseClockDark.apk
Removed: ADW Launcher in LauncherPro version, CM6 MMS in both
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes from Version 1.0:
Updated: Now has ADW Launcher 1.2.0
Removed: Linda File Manager, Astro File Manager, App Backup Reinstall, Contact Backup (these are all available in the Market for free if you want them)
Added:ROM Manager, a better looking music player
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Known Issues:
No Locate by network on Google Maps (also on stock update)
Menu key unlock (also on stock update)

dear.
this rom for 32B or 32A? and what radio and SPL

This is for 32b. Stock radio and spl should work fine. If you have successfully flashed cyanogenmod's CM5 or CM6, you should be able to flash this.

Is the menu unlock fixed?

Menu unlock is not fixed. Haven't figured that one out yet. Not really a problem to me though. I kinda like having 2 options on how to unlock the screen. Haven't had any accidental in pocket unlocks yet.

great stuff man. thank you for your work
flashed it over amazinglarry311's version without a problem.
any chance you could include black notification bar in next update?

The black notification bar would be somethings ADW would have to add in to their app, or someone with more know-how than me. I prefer to use a clock/weather widget and just hide the notification bar. Try this one. Its fully customizable and will even show system stats.

Jbrew, tanks for that sense clock its nice. But how to setup the weather?

Go to weather.msn.com then type in your city. Once your city's weather comes up, look up in the address bar. hxxp://weather.msn.com/local.aspx?wealocations=wc:USAL0082&q=Calera%2c+AL
This is for my city. My code is USAL0082. Just type that in on the widget for your city.

What is MMS from CM6? Probably doesn't apply to me as I can't use MMS without data plan. Also, can I skip the google sign in on this ROM until I turn on wifi? and Lastly, will I be able to remove Linda? Not a big deal if I can't.

The MMS from CM6 is just the text messaging app. Has more options to customize and a black background. I think you can skip through the google sign in, but I'm not sure. I always just sign in. Linda File Manager is built in, but I'm probably gonna leave it out in the next version.

Thanks for the prompt response. Will try it later tonight.

If you're rooted and have a custom recovery image, you should be able to flash with rom manager.

Any thoughts on the SPL & Radio update that accompanied the OTA update discussed on the "[ROM][32b] Official AOSP 2.2 OTA" thread?
I wonder whether/to what extent performance will be affected by the SPL & Radio.
I am currently running CM 5.0.8 (Amon_RA 1.6.2) and am looking to wade gently into the update, do you think it possible to flash this update from CM? (with a wipe of course).
Thanks.

I was running CM5 prior to this on my phone. This is faster than CM5 and much faster that CM6. I didn't change anything on my phone before flashing this so you should be fine. Just do a nandroid backup beforehand in case you decide to go back.

[ROM][Updated 20/01/11] Higgsy Modded 2.2 ROM - Minimal Moto/Chinese

As I've said before "I ain't No Dev" but like to mod ROM's etc in my own way, A few people had asked me if I would put my 2.2 modded Froyo ROM out there so I am going to.
Please read all of the OP - Coz to be fair I haven't written it for the sake of it!!
Aim: TO provide a fully working, deodexed ROM from the Chinese release, with little or no Chinese and minimal Blur, google apps included. Released as a blank canvas so users can customize to their taste.
This is a the 2.2 Chinese Froyo ROM, Mostly all Chinese has been removed so you won't see any in day to day use. I can only find Chinese in the disclaimers of some (maybe one) stock apps, it is deodexed by me.
So all the Chinese apps are removed and a great deal of "motobloat" including all the social networking stuff etc etc. I have left the stuff i like in there, for example I like the blue dialler/contacts/email app.
I have put this out as a blank canvas, It has launcherpro as the default launcher, because it is my favourite launcher, you can remove this and the blur launcher is still there if you want it, when you boot the homescreens will be blank ready for your own customisations.
It also contains the follow essential apps installed to system/app:
Titanium Backup
Tenfars Defy Recovery
Milestone Overclock
This are truely great apps and suggest you donate to the authors if you think so too!
This is overclocked as standard to my preferred cpu scaling mhz/vsel using My Set Scaling script . The reason for this is that at the moment setvsel is force closing on me.
Scaling is as follows:
900/46
600/36
300/26
Download the file here:
Higgsys_Modded_2.2CN
So installing:
Extract the Higgsy_Modded_2.2CN folder from the zip file you downloaded. Place on your SD card in the goapkrev/backup/ folder (along with your previous backups)
From 2.21/2.34 Eclair based ROMsm + 2.2 Chinese Froyo PROVIDING YOU NEVER FLASHED 2.51 ECLAIR:NEW Process 19/01/10
I have spent the most of today trying to trackdown this Flash bug and while can't pin it down (like looking for a needle in a haystack.) I have found a method that works to get it back for me. Its seems it is all in the method... Now as is says in the title I don't think this will work for people that have been on 2.51 Eclair ROM in the past, try the other method.
1)power phone down
2)press Power +vol Down, then when the warning triangle comes up press bottom right of the screen to get into stock recovery.
3)clear data/cache
4)Select the reboot option in recovery while holding vol up, to get into bootloader
5)Flash the 2.34 No Blur Eclair .sbf Get 2.34 Here Guide Here
6)Once flashed, root via z4root and install clockworkmod
7)boot into clockwork mod and install Higgsy_Modded_2.2CNGet 2.2 Chinese .sbf here
8)Once installed reboot now - it will fail and stick at the moto screen - pull the battery
9)Hold power+vol up to get back into bootloader
10) flash the 2.2 Chinese .sbf Get 2.2 Chinese .sbf here Guide Here
11)Once Flashed reboot
12)Once rebooted root using the superoneclick method then reboot
13)install recovery then reboot
14)Go into backup/restore and choose advanced, then choose the Higgsy_Modded_2.2CN folder, then choose to install the system only.
15)once completed reboot
16) test Camera.
Coming from 2.51 Eclair ROM:
I really don't know but it seems 2.51 breaks things such as the camera/flash. It's going to be hard to support people coming from this, as I never had the rom and I'm not going to install it due to all the issues it causes. EDIT: Morphin kindly posted the method that he used:
1) Clear data/cache with normal recovery
2) restore original 2.51 sbf from motorola
3) root with superoneclickFor2.1
4) install nandroid recovery
5) clear data/cache with nandroid recovery
6) install Higgsy backup with nandroid recovery
7) install Flash light fix alternative
8) wipe darvick-cache and permission fix
9) remove battery, boot into bootloader
10) install boot_only sbf
11) shutdown, reboot into bootloader
12) install camera fix sbf
13) optinal install Ginger Theme http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10729253&postcount=489
14) install itfundbaseband.apk
15) reboot
Thanks go to:
Sorensiim for the hosting
The Defy community on XDA
The Vendors of the few apps already mentioned above
I can confirm that everything works for me including camera/flash/compass. Please follow the steps I have given for install, if you are having a problem after or with install, I need to know exactly the process you've followed to install.
UK Users (Possibly other countries?) if you want to get rid of the hyphen's in the dialler e.g. 555-555-555-555 install "Morelocale 2" from the market (free). Set custom locale to UK and gets rid of it.
Most of all enjoy and I hope that some of you guys will make use of this!

Apps I think are well worth installing - some paid some not (I'm not affiliated to the vendors in anyway, but they are my favourites:
Widgetsoid 2(Free)
Launcherpro Plus (Paid) - Upgrade Launcher Pro for widget etc
Widget Locker (Paid) - best locker app
Titanium Backup Pro (Paid)- The paid version is excellent and saves alot of time
Beautiful Widgets (Paid) Nice Clock/Weather Widget.

The contact app, is it the one with facebook intergration from 2.21 or the one without FB integration from 2.34?

Hi Higgsy, could i flash 2.51 with this rom.
Ps good victory on the t-mobile data allowance.

All files are as per the Chinese ROM, I haven't hacked in any other apps. The contacts app does have the 3 screens, however the third (status updates) will never show anything as the apps that feed it have been removed, it will always say "no recent status updates".

Yeah it was a good victory for sure my mate! Was buzzing about that!
Now 2.51 is a bit of a grey area - I never flashed it you see. Due to the fact you can't flash the .sbf. I think it may possible as per other methods by restoring the back up then flashing the 2.2 boot only. I'll have a looks around tomorrow and see if I add the method. Really I can only guarantee this fully working by people flashing the Chinese 2.2 sbf first. It seemed people flashing that 2.51 introduced bugs.

Good work Higgsy. Thanks again. Please get down to porting 2.3 now

just tried this coming from 2.51 and its very impressive, feels lightning fast.
only problem is that the camera + flash doesn't work although thats just a 2.51 problem id imagine.

have you flashed 2.51 in the past as that breaks things. If not and you went from 2.21/2.34 flashed the 2.2 chinese .sbf, and you follow my guidelines on how to flash e.g. wiping, then I see no reason why it wouldn't as it works on mine.

I've been delaying the jump to Froyo because I don't have the time lately to bugfix things, but I guess I have no excuses now.
Thanks, I'll try it tonight!

JIT enabled?
Working on installing 2.2 now. Does this backup have JIT enabled as well?

very nice job you've done higgsy.. one question before I jump to this rom, I'm currently using 2.34 no blur rom..
if the 2.51 rom is not downgradeable.. would this 2.2 chinesse rom can be downgradeable to the 2.34 again? just in case...

I'm running 2.1-update1 stock ROM. Can I update to this ROM?

One of the biggest points about 2.2 was the update of the Dalvik compiler. Froyo always has JIT enabled.

[Q] Apps will not install or be restored [Solved]

FIXXXXXED IT
EDIT SOLVED the encryption/auth files in the folders called .______ <<-------- i don't remember the name but yeah i deleted it
So essentially I have angry birds seasons ad free off amazon that i got for free that one day it was free :O *lots of free*. Now im going to update that and a couple other apps and they all said Application not installed in the htc/android installer area.
Now here's the thing it's not just amazon apps that are having these issues, its market place too and installing apk's will have the same thing. Even my previously backed up version of seasons will not restore *I uninstalled it to see if it would install the new version*.
I'm going to update to das bamf 1.5 today *from 1.4* so I should be able to install the apps, but why would 90% of the apps im trying from amazon/android mrkplace not install *even if they had before*?
Note: I have over a gb of free space on the phone, sd card is like half full
Thanks

This problem usually happens when you flash a ROM AND a custom script all at once. For instance, I noticed if I flashed das BAMF remix and the desense script in one session, I was unable to install apps. I would recommend always flashing the ROM, booting all the way up with no modifications to it, then going back into recovery and flashing your mod scripts.
The ROM creators may have a better answer than I do though. Let me know if it works for you.

I didn't see the q/a section of tb forum, but yeah I dont remember installing any extra scripts. I will look out for it though when I update to the newest one.

Ok i installed das bamf 1.5 remix and I still am getting the same issue.
>_> for example angrybirds rio *from amazon* said this app is incompatible with my device *BS! It didn't say it the day it was released and it worked just fine...
android market place fails to install any angry birds.

I am having the exact same issue now after flashing tesla coil 1.7. I've gone all the way back to stock and I'm still having the same issue.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this?
I am going to reroot and try flashing the same ROM that caused this and see if maybe it was something wrong with the rom download.

I went back wiped and reinstalled 1.5 remix with only amazon installed and it still did not install anything. So the fw is conflicting with something.
Looking back now about 20 apps won't install same via titanium.

How do you have Amazon installed if you cannot install anything? Make sure you're actually wiping everything via clockwork.
Aside from that, try unmounting your SD card and then installing, it's helped me a couple of times when my market decided to stop downloading.

I downloaded it from their site w/o the use of android market place or amazon appstore.
Everything is wiped before install of 1.5 remix i cant get about 20 different apps to install/restore *the apk's were backed up using appmonster before root and Titanium back up after root. A backup on my desktop of both and on the sd card. No version of those ~20 apps will install *previously were installed and worked*.
*also i unmounted sd card O_O and it installed marketplace apps, now what would be conflicting on the sd card :/ to cause that. Hmm that's a temp fix, but amazon and TI are what I need to figure out.

Notes:
IMPORTANT: Although all of my scripts check for and handle appropriatly a2sd and other apps2sd utilities it is highly recomended that you move your apps back to the /data/app folder and remove or disable any a2sd utilities prior to flashing this ROM, once flashed you can reset all of your a2sd settings accordingly. It is also recomend that you leave your cache and dalvik cache alone as moving these can cause backup and restore to fail if there is insuffiecient space.
Enjoy, this is fast stable and very clean, I have even included some of my favorite backgrounds which can be found under "Menu - More - Wallpaper". And as always I am the only DEV (To my knowledge) that includes an antivirus app in my ROM and handles backups and restores of all user level apps (/data/app and /data/app-private) during the flash sequence. No matter what style or flavor of rom you currently have there is no need to wipe, my updater-script handles everything for you. I do still recomend a full nand backup first just for safety sake.

Nice. Really good rom. Thanks.

Thanks for your work...I tried it, but had to nand back. I followed instructions & everything went great until I tried to use Titantium Backup to add back a few apps it failed to install ...then it started restarting.
The apps were fancy Widgets & pro Widgets.
Gonna reflash when I stop for the night.
Thanks for all you do though....I'm still a rookie this.

without restoring the apps from titanium backup did all your other apps work as expected? when you are restoring your apps from TB are you choosing data as well? if your previous ROM was a sense rom this could be the cause of the problem. try restoring without data and then setup the apps again from scratch. let me know if that helps.

Looking good.

Previous rom was Ninja (aosp) .
It auto installed all but 6 previously installed apps...I tried twice today.
I think my problem lies with a auto update of superuser. It auto updated twice...I skipped all setup accounts until dead last in case something was triggering it...no dice, it still did it. Tried clearing data on superuser, but it was greyed-out because there wasn't any data as of yet.
Also, I always restore apps...never data.
I dunno what I'm doing wrong...never had an issue like this.
Maybe superuser updating?
Edit: forgot to mention that on the second time round....I also tried to use the market to re-install my missing apps...and the same thing happened (phone restarts)
I'm gonna try it again and reinstall nothing & I'll report back

AHA!! A brand-new ROM - lots of questions!!
As a confirmed "flash-junkie" on my older Aria, I now have a 2-month old Inspire, and have already tried SO MANY ROMS I have lost count I really need to stop having it "out of commission" all the time because I'm trying something new!!! So -- I am looking for a Gingerbread ROM - definitely "no-sense" or very minimal Sense! (I use 3rd party apps for almost everything that Sense does and it takes so much space and time to load and run it all, or to delete so much every time I update a Sense ROM...
I have tons!!! of apps, and have been using CM7 nightlies - hoping for just the "right one" but I have not been completely satisfied for one reason or another... (Wi-Fi, GPS, ADW launcher so slow, lack of A2sd/EXT4 support, etc...)
What I want: I want to keep my most-used apps "internal" to load faster, and most of my "other" stuff, such as games, "testing" apps, reference library apps, etc. on a separate partition. I would prefer S2E/Link2SD type EXT-4 for the speed and "wipability..." I have used the S2E app, but don't like to move everything, I have tried Link2SD without much success, so I have been pretty much using standard A2SD, which is a pain...
So... what options does your ROM have for something like that? And... what setup do you recommend prior to flashing?? (i.e. pre-set EXT4 secondary partition?)
And... Is data/GPS/Wi-Fi etc. pretty stable without all the "fixes" to apply each update? I'm getting tired of editing build.prop, gps.conf, kernel flashing, etc. on this phone - I'd like to leave all that to my old phone and have my Inspire nice and set for pretty much my daily user -- if an OCD flash junkie can actually do that, anyhow - he he he
OK - I realize this was a very long post, but if you don't think your new ROM is my best choice, I'm open to other ideas from anyone!!!
Thanks!

I'm trying to remember what ver of SU is in the ROM i think it should be 3.0.2 (it was current as of the time i built the rom) I'm not convinced that that could be the issue. I dont use titanium backup as i just start from scratch, i dont much care about data just the apps so i havent tested anything with titanium backup. I'm curious what 6 apps don't install? is it the same 6 everytime? anything special about them? was your previous ROM an EXT3 or EXT4 ROM? are you using any apps2sd utils or have your sdcard partitioned? again thats one i don't use so havent tested for. (sorry if i tested for every possible scenario I'd never get anything done).
I'll try TB tonight and see what happens.

Well I'm probably the worst Flash junkie around I frequently run with broken ROMS just trying to test and build. since I only have one phone that becomes a real pain at times.
so to try to answer your questions. I don't use any apps2sd utils nor do i partion my sdcard nor move any apps to the sdcard and with this rom having on average around 400mb free I havent had much of a need to do so. that being said it does support extended partitions on the sdcard (up to 512mb) you can use any of the third party apps2sd utils just fine as well.
Data/GPS/WiFi including WiFi hotspot and tethering all work flawlessly in my opinion. stability has always been one of my biggest concerns that's why I started building ROMs so I could be the one in control of any stability issues that arose. there should be absolutly no need to edit the build.prop for anything that I'm aware of it is tweaked to provide the best results for the ROM.
Recomendations for prior to flashing. NAND NAND NAND Backups are your friend...
My updater-script is unique in that I am to my knowledge the only one who handles app backups and restores as well as cleanup and wiping through the script so in all reality you can download my ROM make a backup of your current ROM and then Flash mine with no concern of what style of ROM you came from.
I hope that helps answer some of your questions. in regards to whether or not i think this is the right one for you? that is a determination that only you can make. personally this has been my daily driver for nearly a week without issues and im not one for AOSP roms per say..

anyone having this problem?
when i try to install apps i have purchased, i try to install them after i downloaded them but when it trys to install my phone fast reboots, ig u could say lol, is this happening to anyone else.. cause i cant install any apps on my phone

Tried again ....this time I did not try to reinstall any apps via TIB...used market. Data shut off and phone rebooted with ANY app from the market.
It would download BUT then reboot before it finished installing.
Even tried apps at random...lol
Just to be sure it wasn't particular apps.
Tried clearing market data and also reformatted SD card ext4.
Lead me in the right direction if you can ...I'd really like to get this one running. I'm sure you put alot of time in on it & I think its gonna be a good one.

i have yyet to have any issues installing apps from the market yet others have had reboot issues when trying to restore from titanium backup. im not sure why this happens.
what rom did you come from? was it ext3 or ext4? sense or AOSP? and what apps are you trying to install, directly from market or from apk's downloaded to your sdcard? if previously downloaded can you adb them to your data/app folder?

both, and a miui rom the the one previous to the latest

I have the same issue with data/app restore and phone restart during market app installs

I'm going to give it a go and see how it pan's out.

Probably just my lousy nets, but is the download link dead?

[Q] Unninstalled some system aplications by accident in Android

Hello, i have rooted my Samsung Galaxy Ace (S5830) mainly with the purpose of removing the tons of bloatware my operator so kindly put on my phone.
So yesterday downloaded Titanium backup, and did the backup and removed the following applications:
Code:
- All posts 1.0
- All Share 1.1.0
- Apoio a Cliente 1.0 (Custumer support)
- Google Talk 1.3
- Music Shop 5.0.15
- Social Hub 1.00.10.101
- Thinkfree Office 2.0.110222
The problem with unninstalling this was that a few system applications got unninstalled aswell, and even after recuperating all of the above programs with my backup they appear as uninstalled:
Code:
- com.android.audioTuning
- com.broadcom.bt.app
- com.sec.android.appGpsSetup2
- com.sec.android.app.samsungapps.una
- com.sec.app.OmaCP
- com.wipereceiver
- pl.com.samsung
My questions are as follow:
1) Is any of the files that got unninstalled accidentally important? And if so, how can i recuperate them.
2) How do i know exactly what i am unnisntaling in the future so i dont get any more surprises
Thank you in advance,
dpkPT

if any of your Frnds are using the same mobile with same os . First root that. Mobile and install titanium backup pro From black mart. And backup all the things you unfortunately deleted and send that backup files to your mobile via bluetooth and you also install that titanium backup pro . If you install titanium backup pro a folder will be created and move that files to that folder and install it . To solve this in future backup all the items using titanium backup pro

i had thought of getting those files of some other phone. But the only friend that also has an Ace is a diferent model (s5839i wich uses andrid 2.3.6) than mine ( s5830 android 2.3.5). Will the files be compatible?

anyone?

I wouldn't install system files from a different version. You can hunt around and try to find a factory image for your model and use Odin to flash it. Then, start from scratch. Or, if there are any custom ROM's available for your phone, flash that and you won't have to worry about the system files. Rule of thumb for next time..if you don't know what it is, you probably shouldn't delete it!

In addition to that. One of the beauty things with Titanium Backup Pro is that you can "Freeze" apps to see if there is any detrimental effects by not having the run. If so, then you can "defrost" them. When in doubt, don't uninstall no matter how much you think it is bloat.
I am asking another RC to come in here that owns an Ace and see if he can help you. Could take a little time as he is on the other side of the world from me.

I thought uninstalling bloatware was the same as unninstalling a normal aplication. I didnt unninstall anything i didnt know what it was, it just happened that those processes got unninstaled togheder with the bloatware without me even noticing. It would be nice if titanium backup would tell me all that is being unninstaled, so i dont get another surprise like this. Example: " You are unninstalling Crap Bloatware v2.0. Be warned that along with this the following processes will be unninstalled aswell: com.importantsystemthing, com.sec.blabla. Are you sure you want to continue?"

Couldnt install titanium backup pro yet. Tells me my key is invalid.
Kinda learned my lesson. Leaving the rest of the bloatware in the phone. (Still get annoyed every time i look at it though ) Thanks! No prob with the time, so far i havent noticed any problem in my Ace from the lack of those processes.

1. It doesn't seem like your device is the ace. It must be the i version of the ace. Because i can see the com.broadcom.bt app in it. Broadcom hardware is present only in the 'i' variant.
2. Yes you have deleted some system apps like OmaPC server.
Now all what you can do is
1. Check the label below the battery for the correct version of your device.
2. I guess it will be the ace i. So download a stock firmware from sammobile.com
3. Flash it using odin. There are tons of guides the flashing process.
Just Google it.
Hope this helps. Incase you need more help and i fail to reply to this thread, pm me.

Titanium doesn't usually uninstall any extra apps that you haven't selected...weird that it did so for you
Anyways, if your phone starts acting weird, you could flash a stock rom using odin...
