I've created a new ROM for the HoFo/Rogers community in the hope that others will help improve it. All of the other ROM's that I have tried had missing features or they were a bit buggy and power hungry just because they weren't made for the specific Rogers Magic. This ROM is based on the orginal Rogers ROM, so everything works and it is stable. Enjoy!
N.B. - If you get an error during an update please upgrade to the 2005 SPL: http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/
Thanks to lifeflayer we have a great server for hosting the ROM's.
You have to wipe if you are coming in from a different ROM, not if you are updating the HoFo ROM.
To use the adb console in version 2.0 +, please update to the latest SDK.
To improve your battery life, go into Settings --> Wireless controls --> Mobile networks --> uncheck 'Enable always-on mobile'
It is recommended that you use Amon_RA's recovery image to update this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492
If you are a non-English locale user, you will need to also run this keyboard update after the HoFo update:

HoFo Kernel
File contains wlan.ko, boot.img-kernel and config.
This kernel is a modification of cyanogen's kernel with TigerTael's V3 patch applied to it.
N.B. - To get the config's working with Donut, you have to enable video4linux.

This ROM is vanilla dry. It's basically for people who want stability and full functionality. And yes, this ROM is rooted.
im lost, do i have to spl and root? im getting my phone tomorrow and am coming from WM6.1, so im lost here. What the hell is vanilla dry, and what are the extra features here?

I don't think you need the new SPL to flash this ROM; I have the new one. Vanilla dry basically means that I didn't mod the core of the system at all (minus the normoclocking), I just added features.
PS-normoclocking, because 528 is the native CPU speed
How did you set the Speed to 528 mhz?

384 MHz is the default speed, which is underclocked.
528 MHz is the native speed of the CPU.
Not sure if its due to the changing of the keyboard, but I noticed that the calibration tool doesn't work . Always crashes. Good ROM, thanks.
Hi hotweiss, great job but version 1.01 is corrupt on libsgl.so, i can't flash it.
Would you mind repack and upload.

It shouldn't be much, as the CPU scales all the way from 82 MHz all the way upto the new set maximum of 528 MHz. So it will only shoot up to 528 MHz when needed.

hey hotweiss, i really want to use your ROM so I can get rid of all the rogers icons on my magic
but im having a hard time combining bits and pieces of each one's instructions together.
so I've downloaded your update.zip
do i just follow these instructions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4036421&postcount=52
and boot into recovery mode?
how would I do step 8 here, if I dont have the "fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.0H.img" from you?
or can I just use the one from skittleguy as well?
so when i'm done, do I just click "reboot system now"??
or, would I have to follow skittleguy's other post on hofo, and do these steps again, after i've applied the update?:
5. power off phone, hold back button and power to boot into fastboot again
6. fastboot flash boot boot.img
7. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
8. fastboot reboot
TIA, hope I can have some success with your rom!

I would use this recovery image here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/252267998/recovery-RAv1.1.1H.img
It's the latest version.
As far as insalling the ROM, just follow these steps:
1) boot into fastboot mode (back and end)
2) fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.1.1H.img
3) run the update process
That's it.
Thanks a lot hotweiss!
it works perfectly now, im glad i got rid of the rogers icons
THIS MOD HAS BEEN RETIRED. This is a 1.1-based modded ROM. I am no longer developing 1.1-based solutions but I am leaving this post up for current users, or for anyone who still wishes to use it.
==================================
What this is
TNT Lite is an alternate 1.1 based ROM for the GTab, based on the stock ROM that Viewsonic supplies. This will flash system, bootloader and your kernel, so be aware of this. Clockworkmod is NOT recommended for use with TNT Lite flashing (as it does not update the bootloader as required by the vendor), but it is an option if you feel you must use it (ie. if you are stuck in a boot loop and need to wipe your user data). It is a "mostly stock" ROM.
TnT Lite makes the following changes to the stock firmware:
- Rooted and has SuperUser app preinstalled.
- Google Marketplace has been added. It might be crippled by default, but it's fixable with this hack: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845175. Also added erraskey's mahimahi modification.
- Removes the TnT homescreen and replaces it with a stock Google launcher
- Removes the over-the-air (OTA) updater
- Removes most of the TnT stock apps and replaces them with standard Android replacements (the only exception being the web browser which cannot be changed yet, and the music application).
- Development and Spare Parts apps have been added.
- Busybox pre-installed. Thanks to bekit for his work on cm6.1!
- Adds VEGA IFile Manager, replacing Estrongs.
- Adds back the /system/xbin folder, which VS removed for some reason. Internal binaries like “sqlite3" now work.
- Adds a full YouTube app.
- Flash is pre-installed.
- Adds extra UI animations (thanks to Rothnic for those enhancements!).
- Includes a TnT Lite version number in the "About Tablet" area.
- Adds an Adam keyboard and Sniffer app (thanks to gojimi for that!). Also adds a Gingerbread-based keyboard.
- G-Sensor hack and Calibration hacks (see the archives for nods on that).
Recommended Pre-requisites
1. Setup and learn how to use nvflash. This is your backout in case something bad happens, so I would highly recommend you understand how to use this, in advance. Link details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861950. nvflash is specific to Tegra 2 devices only.
2. Setup and learn how to use adb. This is a standard Android tool that will give you a remote shell into the device. This is helpful to push and pull files, and do general troubleshooting. For example, you can do a data wipe within adb if your device boot loops by typing "adb remount" and then "Adb shell wipe data" and then reboot. A VERY helpful tool for anyone modding their device.
Information on adb and how to install it / use it can found in several area in XDA, or on other Android sites. It's part of the Google Android SDK.
3. Have your device on a stock ROM baseline, or a previous version of TNT Lite 4.x or below. For example, build 3588 is the lastest 1.1-based stock ROM, as of this writing. Details on how to return to a stock ROM are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9247367#post9247367. An earlier version of TNT Lite (4.x or earlier) is also an acceptable baseline. TNT Lite 5.x is a higher risk -- please see the TwoTapsX post for details on that.
Other 1.1-based ROMs should also work, but the lowest risk imo is 3588 stock or an older TNT Lite version. This is how I generally test my mods.
Installation for legacy 1.0.1 or 1.1 stock/mod users
a)Instructions for those with standard recovery:
- Extract the RAR to the root of your internal memory. So, for example, if your device is mounted on your Windows F drive, you need to extract the RAR so that you have an F:\update.zip file and an F:\recovery folder. Then, unmount the drive cleanly.
- Power off the device, then begin the flash process by holding the power switch and volume up switch for several seconds. You should see a recovery screen and it will take 1-2 minutes to complete.
- After the update is complete, the system will reboot.
- Optional, but recommended. Do a data wipe / factory reset once the device is rebooted. Settings -- Security -- Factory Data Reset.
Note: these instructions are for the internal memory. If you have no access to that (ie stuck in a boot loop), you can add the files to a microSD card and that will work. However, you need to make one edit to the \recovery\command file, which is a text file. Edit it in notepad and change "SDCARD" to "SDCARD2" and resave it. But, make sure that Windows doesn't add a .TXT extension - it HAS to be called "command".
b)Instructions for those with clockworkmod .8:
- Extract the RAR and place the update.zip file anywhere in /sdcard (do NOT just copy the original RAR, that won't work! You have to open up the RAR and copy the update.zip inside. You don't need the /recovery folder for cwm). I would recommend putting the file on the root of /sdcard, since it will be easier to upgrade that way.
- Reboot into recovery. Do a backup first, as that's always a good idea.
- Then, choose "apply sdcard:update.zip", assuming you added the update.zip to the root of /sdcard, and run it.
- Reboot.
- Optional, but recommended. Do a data wipe / factory reset once the device is rebooted. For cwm users, you would do that within the cwm tool itself.
Note #1: The first reboot might sit for a long time (as of 4.4.0, it's a Honeycomb animation) - just wait and it should finish within 3 minutes or so. If if does not or you see the device looping, you might need a user data wipe.
Note #2: "Status 7" errors. I had this happen to me once, and an SD re-partition corrected it. I believe it's some kind of partition corruption that eventually manifests itself.
Backout

------------------------
New for TNT Lite 4.3.0+ : GTAB 3588 Recovery Pack
This is a set of scripts to change between standard recovery and clockworkmod recovery, without having to reboot. All you need is adb or a Terminal Emulator package.
I don't use clockworkmod for flashing ROM's anymore, due to its inability to flash the bootloader (something that may be required, in the future). But I still use it for nandroid backups and data wipes, so this is how I can easily switch between the two.
a) To flash recovery to 3588 stock recovery, using your GTablet
- Download the app "Android Terminal Emulator", by Jack Palevich.
- Run the app, toggle the soft keyboard and change the font settings, if desired (default is very small)
- Type "su" (Superuser should allow su access.
- Type "fixrecovery.sh". This should run the flash_image tool and complete in 5-10 seconds
Reboot into recovery to test. 3588 stock has no options, so assuming you have no update.zip in the root of your /sdcard, it should just error out with an "!" error (that's what we want to see).
b) To flash recovery to legacy clockworkmod .8 bekit version recovery, using your GTablet
- Follow steps 1 to 3, above
- Type "cwmrecovery.sh". This should run the flash_image tool and complete in 5-10 seconds.
Reboot into recovery to test. You should see the clockworkmod .8 bekit screen, which means the flash was successful.
c) To flash either recovery with adb
Just use an "adb shell" and then run the shell script needed.
Issues / Caveats
More than a few users have reported a reboot looping issue either during, or shortly after, upgrading to this firmware. I would go on the assumption that this could happen to you, so I would be prepared for that and try some of the possible fixes that users have reported, below.
Pre-req: Have a microSD card ready of use. This will be the only way to re-flash or install clockworkmod, if you get stuck in a reboot loop. If you don't have a microSD card, then you're only fix would be to use nvflash to fully erase the system (see the steps in the nvflash link in this post). With that in mind, I would try these steps, in this order (you'd try the next step if the first step did not fix the issue)....
- Try to reflash first, using the microSD.
- Try to reflash to TnT stock - again using the microSD.
- Install clockworkmod recovery (see below) using the microSD, which will give you extra capabilities. Then, run clockworkmod recovery and wipe your user data.
- Re-run clockworkmod recovery and re-partition your SD card. Suggested setup (as of Jan 2011) is 2048 and swap of 0. (this last step will wipe the /sdcard data, so keep that in mind).

Lastly, check out this thread for acore FCs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9454175#post9454175 (thanks, digger44!)
- Sleep mode (clicking on the power button) doesn't seem to work. There is no known fix, other than adding a customized kernel. Another suggestion is to leave the device to "never sleep", at least for now. EDIT: Should be fixed with 4.4.0.
- When clicking on the "Notifications" button in Settings (the one that's greyed out) the device semi-locks. To unlock, just click on the "!" button i the uppper right side on the device, on the status bar.

Other Items of Note
- Clockworkmod bekit v.8 only update.zip (for technical users only -- ONLY use with TnT Lite 1.x to 4.x, or other 1.1-based legacy mods) : http://www.mediafire.com/?dvleg4oatkfxm7w
This is a replacement for standard recovery. It adds the ability to backup and restore system images, for example.

5.0.0 And Archives
ARCHIVED NOTES for TNT Lite 5.0.0 ..... use only as a reference, in case you are already on TNT Lite 5!!!!!
For TNT Lite 5 backout procedures, please visit the TwoTapsX post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=998663
5.0.0 SPECIAL NOTE, PLEASE READ FIRST
Before you do ANYTHING, read the 5.0.0 instructions. Then, read it again. You HAVE to be running 3588 stock, including stock recovery. DO NOT ATTEMPT 5.0.0 if you are not on 3588 stock, or else your system will be semi-bricked post-5.0.0 install and you WILL need to use nvflash to fix it. DO NOT USE CLOCKWORKMOD to flash TNT Lite 5.0.0, it DOES NOT WORK.
=======================================
Firmware based off TnT g0e0c333 svn #1 kernel with TnT build 3991:
PULLED
ARCHIVED Changelogs:

- (3.1.3+) Added the g-sensor fix (thanks to weeds2000 for the original Folio wortk, Dexter_nlb for passing it onto us, and gojimi for altering it for TnT Lite!), Ethernet fix added for docks to function, added a cifs.ko module which may work with customized kernels.
- (3.1.2+) Long press fix has been added, back (thanks gojimi!). Added Gallery from the VEGAn build which has the accelerometer fix.
- (3.1.1+) Fixed broken Magic Smoke Live Wallpaper, added animation enhancements (thanks Rothnic!!)
- (3.1.0+) Based on TnT 3389 firmware. Fixed Calendar app (thanks to Gojimi for the updated apk!).

- (2.3.0+) Based on new TnT 3053 build. No noticeable changes, from limited testing. Also, updated Gmail to latest version and removed the adfree hosts file (several of you wanted this removed). If you want "adfree android" back, you can get it in the Market.
- (2.2.1+) Added Settings catcher fix (thanks goes to vaelek for creating this!) and updated the YouTube app to the latest version.
- (2.1.0+) Major update. Added back stock Contacts / Calendar / pieces of Gapps v2. Thanks to jacindc for his work on getting the Gapps items

-----------------------------------------------------------
Instructions for TNTL 5.0.0 ONLY (Please READ, this is NEW):
As of version 5.0.0, Viewsonic has made some pretty large changes under-the-hood which REQUIRES you to be running TnT 3588 stock, in particular their stock recovery is required. So the device would need to be prepped, in advance. 3588 is the latest stock version (as of this writing) and it's the version that the OTA (over the air) updater would give you, if you were running clean stock.
You can do this two ways:
1. nvflash it -- I have a Nix based 3588 nvflash script in the references area, as a template.
2. Run a stock update.zip. You can find 3588 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842000
To confirm that you are running 3588, go into Settings -- About Tablet and check the Tap UI Version (you should see 1.1.3588 or simiilar).
One 3588 is running, you can download the 5.x.x firmware above and extract it to the root of your internal memory. So, for example, if your device is mounted on your Windows F drive, you need to extract the RAR so that you have an F:\update.zip file and an F:\recovery folder. Then, unmount the drive cleanly.
Then, reboot into recovery (power and volume up) and allow the update to run - you can hit the Home button to toggle the visible status, btw. Once completed, it will reboot, update the BCT partition, then reboot again into TnT Lite 5.0.0.
Most likely, the device will HANG on that last reboot - that's because 5.x.x REQUIRES a data wipe. Reboot once more into recovery if that occurs, than choose to wipe your user data and reboot one more time (notice that their new recovery is similar to clockworkmod). You should now be able to boot into the UI.
If you didn't read this and tried running this with clockworkmod or a previous version of TnT Lite, you'll probably need to use the original bekit 1105 nvflash image to unbrick your device. So PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS!
nvflash restore process, in case you need it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861950
and, a good reference on nvflash for Windows: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914039
and another reference for nvflash on Windows: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=989320
Instructions from 5.0.0 to newer TNTL builds (standard recovery):
TNTL 5.0.0 comes with a new recovery which has some clockworkmod functionality. To update to a newer version from TNTL5:
- Add the update.zip and recovery folder, same same as the instructions above.
- Reboot into recovery and the installation should automatic. However, you'd need to reboot manually, after it completes. You can also chose to NOT copy the recovery folder if you want, an then use the recovery tool to manually update the firmware. It's your choice.
Instructions from 5.0.0 to newer TNTL builds (clockworkmod .8):
- Similar to the standard instructions, except that clockworkmod has no auto-install (and so you don't need the recovery folder). Just point the tool to your new update.zip file and run it. Then, reboot when it's completed.
Backout (ie. to old stock, VEGAn, TNT Lite 4.x, etc):
I have successfully backed out of TNT Lite 5 in two ways:
1- Re-run a stock ROM. Specifically, I tested 3588. STOCK is important, as the bootloader will be downleveled to the necessary revision.
2- nvflash, using bekit's 1105 image.
In the case of stock, you might get stuck in a boot hang due to the possible need to wipe user data. So, I would recommend running the update.zip off a microSD so you can install clockworkmod .8 (old version) to give you the ability to wipe data.
Once you have old stock back, you'll be able to install older versions of TNT Lite, VEGAn, zPad, etc. as the bootloader is downleveled again.
Caveats to scare you:
- For 5.x.x users, custom kernels may not work. I haven't tested this myself, but given the changes under-the-hood you should assume that they may not work anymore.
- Also for 5.x.x users, flipping between mods will be more difficult, since 5.x.x changes the bootloader. To go to VEGAn, gADAM or any of the other mods will require an nvflash back to bekits 1105 image first, at least via the testing I've done.
- Do NOT use this firmware with newer versions of clockworkmod, especially 5.x.x users! It will probably cause a boot failure because the boot.img is not padded. I personally use .08 and my docs are written around .08. For 5.x users, the clockworkmod version is the ONLY version that will work, tmk.
- New Market has issues with any device whose SD partitions have been altered outside of the default of 2048 - you'll get a "not enough disk space" when downloading. The fix is to alter your SD partitioning again to the default of 2048. A big thanks to proengin for pointing me in the right direction, on this.
Other Links of Note:
- NEW Clockworkmod v.8 only update.zip (for technical users only -- NEW for use with TnT Lite 5.x.x only!) : http://www.mediafire.com/?ykn3jwq7kvegc4g
This is a replacement for standard recovery. It adds the ability to backup and restore system images, for example. My builds will be tested with this, as I use it myself.
3/11 NOTE: Using clockworkmod is a known risk - it does NOT update the bootloader which is THE cause for a lot of upgrade issues to TNT Lite 5. Imo, if you want to tread here and install clockworkmod, then you must learn how to use nvflash to backout of it. Given the issues in the last week, I would say that this is an absolute requirement.

Mostly Running Ok
Well, after installing this, and the wifi fix from tegra forums (I can't link since I'm a "new member"), it's running pretty good. It's VERY fast!
But I am having one big problem with it. Dolphin keeps giving me 400 errors (bad verb) on the majority of the links I click. About 20% of the time it will work, and the rest give me the error. If I use the normal browser it works fine. Since I can't uninstall Dolphin, I'm at a loss as to what to try... I like this ROM best out of all of the others (Cyanogen barely works at all, and I hate the interface on the vanilla version).
Any thoughts on a fix?
roebeet said:
I admittedly did not use Dolphin HD all that much - it was meant as an alternative for the TnT Browser. But no issues in limited testing. I'll have to play around with it some more.
400 means that you are getting to the site, but there's a problem. Maybe the site doesn't like Dolphin(?).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well, 400 means that the HTTP request headers are somehow borked. But since certain sites give me the specific error "Invalid Verb", my guess is that it's not sending the proper HTTP verb (GET / POST / PUT / HEAD, DELETE / OPTIONS / TRACE / CONNECT / PATCH, with GET, POST and HEAD being common).
And it's multiple sites. I've caught it about 50% of the time with google, 100% of the time with Dolphin's home page, and about 20% - 50% with other pages...
When I get some time, I'll setup one of my servers to log the entire raw request to see what it's doing.
But since this is built into the build, I can't even try re-installing Dolphin (I can try re-installing the entire ROM, and likely will at some point)...
Thanks for the response...

I'm probably going to pull it out on the next build - it was a temp solution to get around the TnT browser, but with the market now working a user could easily install whatever browser they want, now.
As for when the next build will come, I'm waiting for VS's firmware update next week (assuming it's released, of course).
Does flash work in the browser in this ROM?

Yes, it works in the TnT browser. I believe the DolphinHD browser is spotty at best and Firefox does not work, tmk.
You obviously need to sideload it as this ROM was released before the Flash update came out. I will most likely add the Flash update to the next build - I'm holding off as I'm hoping that VS releases their big update as they promised.
Hello Roebeet. Still crusing on your full vanilla from 11/06; been ultra stable for me. But i really want a clean build but with standard mail, calendar and contact apps so i can seemlessly sync all with my work exchange account.
Does your lite vesion have this, or one of rothnic's? Or do i have to switch to a zpad image to get those apps working?

I think the zPad and TnT Lite versions have the canned versions (or closer to canned). I ripped out most of the TnT apps in TnT Lite, except for the browser which is heavily integrated with TnT.
MD5 Failure
Roebeet,
I'm having difficulty flashing Boot and System from CWM v.8. I'm getting MD5 Checksum Failed! for both. I've downloaded the file three times and unpacked it using winRAR.
Any one else get TnT Lite installed thru v.8?
The Dude
Got it working by installing the first way and then adding CWM v.8. It took me a while to figure out I had to also copy the command file to the recovery folder to get it to run the CWM update.zip.
Thanks again Roe, can't wait for TnT Lite v2

I think you have to copy all three .img files are the md5 file looks for all of them(?). At least I think that's what happens. Give that a try.
v2 next week, assuming VS releases their firmware update and I can actually get it OTA.
Got another question- I lost sdcard... It worked for the first few boots (i used ACV and opened a file), but now it's not mounting. I can mount it on the PC via CWM still, so it's still formatted and the files are still there.
The Dude (will abide for the next week)
<edit> reloaded ROM, and selectively restored backup apps via titanium (removed all cyanogen apps, and a few others). seems to be great now. much better than CM. Still have to do timezone tho, and get the latest XBMC remote installed.
Flash, AB, ACV, overclocked, so far it's great. I'm stoked for v2!

It should be the same as stock -- /mnt/sdcard or /sdcard for internal, and /sdcard2 for the microSD. I never messed with that.
Just gotta say I am really enjoying the TnT light. It is stable and after changing the build.prop to fix my timezone and doing the market fix it is absolutely awesome. If both could be integrated into the TnT light it would be perfect.
Big ups for Roebeet

The TZ should be fixed in the VS upcoming update (at least that's why they claim). Hopefully we can find a better Market fix down the road, but this one ain't too bad - just takes a few manual steps.

There's a market fix? Err.... link? Thanx as well.
@ roebeet after far too many hours trying to load this... victory is mine!!
and was well worth the effort, nothing listed worked for me, had to use nvflash to load
Can't wait to see what's next
Nice work, and donations coming when payday arrives
Roebeet,
Finally switched to tnt lite this morning.... but I don't see the calendar app (need it to sync with outlook on exchange at work). The email and contacts apps are there (just what I was looking for). Does anyone have the 2.2 calendar app files or can I just use any generic 2.2 apks?
Thanks!
EDIT: Contacts do not sync... it allows you to check this setting but it does not sync.
Edit: I imported a 2.2 calendar apk and calendar provider apk and it runs and it syncs! Now I am going to try and import a different contact ap and provider ap
Edit: New contact app working and syncing!
Thanks Roebeet for all your work here... and the others.. you rock!

I have pointercal files to fix calibration for U8110 and U8100. These fix calibration on the devices. I'm about to fix calibration in my ROM by making flashable .zips. Also the MMC.patch and oc patch for the kernel, will it work on this kernel if we source?
If we get the source it will OC

we have working ascend recovery so no need for that we need to fix the wifi and the camera is just 2MPx
Well camera is not big deal, coz its crap even on VF845, and I dont think it will make big difference here.
EDIT: Tested on Huawei U8100. Work as expected - relatively smooth, stable, calibration bit off but still nicely usable (maybe coz its not U8120). Wifi doesnt work as expected. No Adreno drivers. But it looks promising.
Bluetooth does not work in this rom... Audio - white noize, replaced libaudio.so of tahahawa rom.

1. Intro - What is Android
Android is a Linux based Operating System (OS) designed mainly for mobile touch devices (Smartphones)
First Google bought Android Inc. but the Android Inc. developers (just 4 people) joined Google and announced
Android together on 11.5.2007. First "Droid" was HTC Dream which was released on 10.22.2008.
2. Versions of Android
Android versions were named by deserts in alphabetical order
Android 1.0
First Android came out with smartphones on 9 February 2009. Android included features as:
Alarm Clock, demo of the UI (User Interface), camera etc. This version was very unstable
Android 1.5 - Cupcake
This update/version has unleashed a flood of Smartphones when it first came out 30 April 2009.
Features as: uploading to Picasa or YouTube, support for third party keyboards, auto screen rotation were
added.
Android 1.6 - Donut
This version striked at 15 September 2009 and it first ran on HTC Hero along with new system UI,
voice and text entry search etc.
Android 2.0 - 2.1 - Eclair
This version was made from SCRATCH in a record time from last update - 26 October 2009 and
it added Bluetooth 2.1 support, new camera features(flash, zoom etc.) and this version was significantly faster,
than previous updates.
Android 2.2 - 2.2.3 - Froyo (short for Frozen Yogurt)
Now we are at more known versions of android starting from Android 2.2 - Froyo
Firstly seen on HTC Nexus One on 20 May 2010. There was alot of changes,tweaks the most
recongnizable ones were installing aps on SD card, automatic app updating in market and visuably
changed UI.
Android 2.3 - 2.3.7 - Gingerbread
Gingerbread was unleashed on 6 December 2010. It added bigger screen resolution
support XVGA and Higher. This update was more hardware based, it added 2 new sensors (gyroscope, barometer),
support for 2 cameras (now front facing camera can be used) etc. Updates after 2.3 so 2.3.2 - 2.3.7 were mainly
fixing bugs.
Android 3.0 - 3.2 Honeycomb
This update was meant only for tablets. It came out on 22 February 2011 and the the first Honeycom tablet - Motorola Xoom.
Android 4.0 - 4.0.4 - Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS)
ICS was release together with Google Nexus 19 October 2011. It was featuring a lot of fixes
and tweaks like: 1080p video recording, face unlock, beter and faster UI, hardware acceleration etc. etc.
Android 4.1 - 4.3 - Jelly Bean
Jelly Bean first hit on 13 July 2012. It includes multi lockscreen support, MOST IMPORTANT improved smoothnes
Google's project Butter, expandable notifications, and a lot and I mean a lot of new features, bug fixes, tweaks etc. etc.
Tutorial #1 - What¨s Root, How to Root, Let¨s Root
3. Rooting1. What is Rooting and WHY should you root
Ok so rooting is basicly adding root acces to Android (so you can edit, delete, copy system files). Let's put it this way: Remember when you were a kid, some parents (luckily mine don't) put your user the normal type so when you want to install something, game or program you would be asked for Administrator password that allows you to modify system. That's exatcly what rooting is - unlocking your device.
2. Pros/Cons
Pros:
If your carrier blocks Wi-Fi tethering now you can use it
Root apps on Play store
Custom boot animations
Custom kernels, recoveries
(better) use of Custom Rom
Cons:
It voids your warranty BUT you can unroot your device there's lots of apps for that on Play store
and DO NOT forget to replace custom rom with stock and custom recovery with stock
3.How to root (remember I am using GT-I9070 find your own resources)
This is the only tutorial that varies from phone to phone
1. Take a trip to here: http://www.androidrooting.com and search for your device and current
version of android! If you don't find your device there ask uncle Google
2. Now I personally got root.zip. If you get this kinda package you are lucky. Just put it on your ext.sdcard (later you will be able to do this from
internal). Reboot in recovery (search for recovery combo) usually you have to press Vol. UP + Home + Power until phone vibrates. Than just
choose install-zip – install zip from external sd card – select your root.zip and flash it once done reboot and thats it.
3. To make sure that Root has succeeded go into menu and check for app SuperUser or SuperSU or SU or download root checker from Play Store.
4. Now take a snack and ENJOY your Rooted phone
Now you can get to root by other way – by Odin. In that case:
1. Open Odin (Download below)
2. Put yor device into DOWNLOAD MODE a.k.a ODIN MODE (Usually Vol.Down + Home + Power) not RECOVERY.
3. Connect your device
4. Box with ID:COM# should pop up blue or yellow
5. Click box next to PDA in Odin and select downloaded file should be tar or md5
6. During the proces device might reboot into recovery to instal SuperUser
7. Click start and WAIT UNTIL YOU GET PASS IN ODIN THAN YOU CAN DISCONECT YOUR DEVICE.
8. To check if you are rooted search for SuperUser or SuperSU or SU in app drawer(MENU).
9. ?????
10. DONE, Enjoy
