I just downloaded the Motoblur rom and installed it on my Ion (32b). It looks like the whole Blur experience is working.
However, I can't seem to download anything from the market. It shows all my recent downloads but when trying to install it fails/ unsuccessful install. The second issue is that it doesn't change orientation even when checked off in the options. Google contact sync and Wifi don't work either. I haven't confirmed if BT works yet.
Anybody have any ideas or patches? Is there anyway to install Astro straight from the sd card?

Can you please move this thread?
There is already entirely too much clutter in this forum.
With all the new ROM builds coming out in the next 24 hours...it would be greatly appreciated if you MOVED this A.S.A.P.
Thanks.
Android 2.0.1-r5v0.6
Dead:
==============
After spending some time and looking over this rom and ways to make it work with out any legal issues. The most viable option was to build something like what cynanogen has built. His process takes the proprietary bits (all google apps including sync) and copies them off onto the SD card before doing a update. After the update it copies them back to the newly installed rom. This method basically does a automated backup/restore of your licensed applications. I can't do this for several reasons including that we are supposed to be coming from a 1.5 OS to a 2.0.1, which isn't compatible with the older application set.
Temporarily Offline:
==============
I am sorry to have to do this but we are now having more then just a small handful goofing with this ROM and I need to take this offline while I inspect each of the parts and make sure all licensing is in order since its a bit more then the google Opensource framework. I know that several other ROM creators have not paid much attention to it as I am going to now but I really don't want to upset any IP holders like what happened to Cynanogen a couple months back.
I will put it back up but I want to make sure that I am totally covered and don't have any issues.
version 0.6: download (offline)
==============
-fixed wifi thanks to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593620
-Now starts up with Android stock keyboard. (No longer needs HTC_IME.apk for second keyboard)
A few have asked for this ROM so I thought I would put it up here for anyone that wants to contribute to or take from it.
This ROM is only compatible with the Sprint CDMA HTC Hero. It is not finished and still requires some work but its good enough for my day to day use and I am sure others may find the same potential.
This ROM is vanilla android and what it takes to actually get it running on a CDMA phone. It is built off of this GSM variant. I am going to try and work to remove the google bits so that you can use Cynanogens method of extracting your own and then doing a follow up update to install them. My efforts for this is not to build a better rom but to build a cleaner base that has limited to no proprietary IP.
Credits to all on this forum how have helped or contributed in any way to building the roms that are here. I would point out names but there are to many to name. I am positive that anyone that pays attention to this forum will know who you are. I used many parts of these ROM's and many others on XDA to build this one.
This is my first ROM and was primarily made for myself to help me learn how to create a custom ROM.
Here is the link to my blog where I originally posted about this and a video of it booting.
Here is the Youtube video of it booting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRTh-rXKe-E
*Warning*: Don't attempt to flash this ROM onto anything else unless you know what you are doing! I am not responsible for any device malfunctions or "Bricks".
Notes on Installing:
- Run a Nandroid backup before you do anything.
- Make sure you do a full wipe first. (Sorry )
- Run the update zip found * Version 0.6 *(offline) from the recovery console.
To get the HTC keyboard installed: (Now Optional as of Version 0.6)
- Follow the instructions here.
Things that don't work:
- Gallery some times has issues.
- Camera
- Wired or Wireless Tethering (Now Testing)
- Orientation
- Trackball light
- Trackball click (Rolling and moving are fine)
- (Let me know if something else needs to go here.)
Possible issues that are not repeatable:
- speaker not working on out bound calls? I made 30 test calls to my home phone and was not able to replicate this issue. Needs to be verified (see here)
Awesome! Thanks! disregard my PM lol.. Great timing.

im trying it now nice work
Let me know if any of you have issues flashing. I still have it all right here in front of me if I need to make a change.
FYI: The first boot takes for ever as it registers all the APKS.
i just get the HTC_IME fource close i installed the one from the site like you said and installed it and i get this

So you installed both the HTC_IME.apk and the Clicker.apk? Did you do a adb push or a adb install?
Try and go into settings --> Language & Keyboard --> Touch Input --> Text Input?
I think its a force of habit with out really thinking to go there and calibrate but just going there may help.
Try that and let me know.
i just flashed it and pushed the keyboard and calibration app through adb and all is well. its working awesome. Thanks!!!

I would do an install or transfer them to your SD card and grab a app like Astro from the market to install them. Don't worry we will get you worked out.

Thanks, but I really can't take to much credit. Its a "Pick and Pull" from several ROMs. This one actually came from our GSM Brothers and then I used the CDMA tricks in this form to make it work.
I keep watching and playing with the Google Nexus Dumps. I would really like to get one of them up and running.
Based on your posting and replies I assume you are re-using the 2.6.27 kernel like the other roms?

Wow thats allot in a little space.
What I gather is that it originally booted, then after trying to install via droid explorer and then astro it now just dies after the lockscreen.
I am not sure where to start. I would just say to do a full wipe, then a clean install. Then if you have the sdk try the ADB install method as Cynanogen's post talks about.
I am working on trying to get the stock Android keyboard to work. If we can figure out that then we don't have to mess with the HTC one.
ok i got it i just adb pushed them to system/app works great

Yeah, actually some of your work if I remember correctly, thats why its got the same issues. My first goal when I built this for my self was to get past the blasted google bits sync loop. The more I worked into it the more I moved on to the 2.0.1 build with some of your stuff in it.
Your welcome to anything I have learned, its really not my work.
Ok, since not everyone is using CM6 on an EVO I thought I'd share this outside that thread.
This should allow the Market to show the missing (protected) apps on Froyo. I've implemented it for the Gapps FRF91 Hdpi pack for now. Any HDPI Devices with deodexed Roms using this should work with this fix. It may work with other HDPI releases, but I've only tested it on FRF91 w/ CM6.
Wipe Market Data/Cache......Settings>>Applications>>Manage Apps>>ALL>>Market
Reboot Recovery
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Flash "MarketUpdateFroyoHdpi.zip"
Reboot
Accept Market Terms
On the off chance this borks your Market, just reflash your rom or the the Gapps pack.
If any other Froyo Markets have this problem, it shouldn't be too hard to implement the same fix.
Mirror: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QIBIFHBM
If it doesn't work with your device/rom please specify both so that it will be easier to diagnose.
Big thanks to kallt_kaffe for leading me in the right direction.
It could be I've done something wrong, but this isn't working for me using Sapphire 0.7.0 (from droid-life) on my Droid (the original ). I've tried 2x (especially after finding where to do the dalvik cache wipe in clockwork) with installing it as an update.zip and just installing it as-is. I've been testing by trying to get comic strips back installed on my phone and app brain keeps telling me that mileage has an update though my phone doesn't agree.
I looks like that is using a different Google Apps version. I'll dl and try to patch it for you.
Here, give this a shot. Should work for all FRF84B Builds.
I don't have a device to test on, but this should do it.
does this work with g1 32b cm6
I'm not sure. I'd guess the g1 is an mdpi device though. If the mdpi market is locked (didn't think it was), I could apply the same fix. Also, is this for cdma or gsm?
Hi.
Great work!!!
I got it working with the MDPI version.
I just copied classes.dex from your fix to cyanogen's gapps-mdpi-FRF91-3.zip and I got Market unlocked.
If it's ok, can you share your secret/patch technique?
Did not appear to work for Acer Liquid Froyo. Still have problems accessing certain apps that I used in 2.1 ( AutoHTN Beta for example), APPBrain sees the app, but can not access it through the market.
Hi there
What about Android 2.1.1?
my phone is Motorola XT720, anything for that?
also, How do you "Flash" the application in recovery mode
any way i can do this using adb?
thanks

I dl'd this, put on sd card, tried loading it through ROM Mgr... didn't work. Then I tried loading it through Astro Folder and I get "Error Directory._Flash_v10.1.92.8.apk.zip could not be loaded"
Then I removed the current version of Flash and tried again... still didn't work (so now I'm without Flash all together).
I am running SkyRaider Vanila 2.5... any suggestions?

It works fine and it's not a .zip
Just tested and audio/video lags much worse than previous
This doesn't work with Hulu either.
OP:
What did you test this apk on to determine that it was fully functional?
I'm the poster from the N1 thread...and another thread in this forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756531) too *rolleyes* that put the APK up. It's a rip from an N1 of the newest version from their market. I had no trouble installing it over the previous version of flash on my phone.
That being said, I'm not running any type of custom rom, just the 8/1 leak...you guys are on your own for the other stuff.
It works! Hulu won't work because they didn't sign any contracts that allow them to broadcast through Android Mobile Device- needs hacks for that...
but Flash 10.1 Final does run alot smoother than beta!
Well, it does seem we didn't have to wait that long.
I have just tested the 8500 froyo pre-release on the 8300 and everything works except for the gyro. This means that the screen is always displayed in portrait.
I know, thats not good on a phone designed to display in landscape. But hopefully someone will port the gyro drivers from the 2.6.29 kernel and we'll have a real improvement on our hands! Or someone will find a solution that forces landscape, which is almost as good.
You'll find the instructions on installing froyo here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942971
And rooting here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966624
This is surely a treat!
And if someone has any working solution for the "landscape" problems please let me know on this thread. I'll keep looking for a solution.
/Peter
Edit:
Oh, yeah, forgot one thing. The initial splash screen looks terrible (green background with a blue and red square), so if someone has any idea on how to change that for a nice xda logo or something. I would be most greatful!
Doesn't seem like gps is working either...
/Edit
Well, i can't do any programming. But some things i can acutally improve.
It seems that the keyboard layout that came with the 8500 doesn't match the layout on the 8300.
So here's an updated keyboard layout. Just replace the file named:
qwerty.kcm.bin
located in:
/system/usr/keychars/
With the one attached to this post. Root explorer will (apparently) do that for you. I haven't tried doing it with root exporer (did it with adb). But i have tested the keyboard layout and it works just fine.
Hope that helps anyone!
Please let me know if you have any problems installing replacing the file!
/Peter
Oh yeah, almost forgot, adw launcher lets you set the layout (portrait) of your desktop screens. Thats at least a little help.
edit
Forgot again... The source for 8500 is available on the huawei download site.

I flashed this rom, had alot of trouble with phone connection and such
did a nand backup using recovery-RA-pulsemini-v1.6.2.img reflashed my Boost stock updata.app then restored the nand backup, everything is working great and i have the Boost mobile splash instead of the odd one, didn't fix the gyro though
edit: GPS seems to be working fine, so fixing the gyro or a locked landscape mode is the only bug left.
I'll be following this thread very closely, with any results I get I'll be sharing them here.
I can't seem to get USB debug to work, it's either a CD emulator with the Huawei device programs or mounting the SD card. Anyone else having this issue, or is there a workaround?
OK, some progress; I've just rooted using z4root (sideload) and it appears to be working - Just backed up apps and settings with Titanium Backup.
I just downloaded the stock U8300 so now I've got something to fall back on in case of emergency. It's not listed on the Huawei website though.
So now forwards, to Froyo!
Current progress:
Downloaded U8500 Froyo ROM and installed as per instructions above, twice.
Rooted with Z4Root installed from my SD card.
Had trouble trying to get the keyboard settings over; I tried using Ghost Commander to copy it into place with root access without success. Any other options, lugiber?
I'm not really interested in using Android Dev programs, nor buying apps... is it possible to use terminal commands to copy it into place instead?
Still got the sideways screen issue as expected. GPS works, Wifi works, gyro and compass work somewhat (even the original U8300 caused some issues with North to the 'right' of the phone ie 90degrees off).
google root explorer apk download it to your sd card, install it and just remember to mount the file system as rw, theres a button at the top in root explorer then copy it over
Hmmm, no dice.
Clicked 'mount R/W' but still said /system/usr/keychrs directory didn't have permissions, tried editing manually which didn't apply either.
Are there any other similar ROMs (eg CM6 or the like) that may also be closely compatible? i can put up with the keyboard until I get the screen rotate working, and I read somewhere that some has done so... I'll get back if it works.
I just received and email from Huawei saying they have now released the source code for the U8300 on their website!! It's the eclair kernel, I presume; I haven't downloaded it to check yet.
They also have the 'Normal' (presumably generic) Froyo source code there too, if that is useful to anyone.
