MD5 Sum: 6fd37dc9a25292350aec6c9a8493139e
Credits: AOSP, enomther for the kernel and general knowledge for start-up scripts, cyanogen for the huge APN list, the nice lady neighbour who'd let me see her shower when I was five, and the Mod team for ramming this template on me and having me edit a nearly-dead post.*
Base Firmware: AOSP Master branch (as of Novermber 2009)
Radio Required: Any
SPL Required: Any
Partition Layout: linux-swap in mmcblk0p3 optional, no a2sd
Wipe Required: not among versions in this thread, yes if coming from a rom not in this thread
Special instructions:
You can still get your Google contacts synced doing the following:
ebg10 said:
I have gotten google sync working in this rom and all other 2.0 roms through exchange. It syncs mail, contacts, and calendar without the need for google apps. To get this working make a new exchange account and put in your gmail email address and password and then select manual setup. Select exchange account. For Domain/Username put in "/[email protected]" without quotes. The password should be filled in from the previous field. The Exchange server is "m.google.com" without quotes. Check both boxes below and hit next. Select the checking frequency(or push) and amount to synchronize. Select which options you want below, then select next. Put in an account name and display name, then hit done. If you have corporate calendar installed, then your calendar will synchronize and so will your contacts and email. Now you have push gmail, contacts, and calendar. Because exchange will only synchronize a month of emails, I also setup my gmail as an IMAP account so I still have access to my old emails. The android email app is not as good as the gmail app IMHO, but it is a temporary solution, and new emails seem to show up faster this way!

Change Log (from v3):
App Changes
-Added Google Apps (Gmail, Market, Talk) (sync will still eat your battery, turn it off from the power control widget and turn it back on only when you need it)
-Upgraded Maps to version 3.2.1 with Turn by Turn navigation (US only)
-Added Terminal Emulator
-Removed Provision and added Google Setup Wizard
System Fixes
-Removed /xbin folder for size (we still fit under regular SPL!, besides, who uses those binaries?)
-Added rosystem/rwsystem so you can easily change the system partition from read-only to read/write and back
-Rolled back kernel to 2.6.27 (enomther's, donate to the guy)
-Added linux swap support if a third partition is available
-If a third partition is not available, 24 MB compcache is enabled by default instead
-Fixed sensors (rotation)
-Added huge APNs list
Graphical Fixes
-Fixed Car Dock Images, now text is visible in either Landscape or Portrait mode
-Added Gmail Icon from eugene's build
-Power Control Widget graphical fix already applied
-Removed "Accounts" button from Contacts to avoid the force-close it causes when pressed since Google Apps sync is not available anyway.

Thanks, jubeh!
If anyone of you will flash it, could you please spare a minute and try if Bluetooth works (if it just turns on)? I need 2.0 with BT for development.
Nandroid Back up..
flashing now.. Will report back.
Will give this a try in a couple of hours, I need a couple of hours of sleep first.
Just loops to boot screen.

Did you wipe? It's required. Any partitioning on your sd shouldn't matter because. I don't even use a2sd (don't even like it)
I should mention, I'm replying from the rom uploaded, so I know it works (I downloaded from 4shared straight to my phone and flashed to test), md5sum it to make sure it's a good dl
I haven't flashed this, but Jubeh, if BT isn't working:
Change texas to texasalt in the hciconfig service
(credit to cyanogen)
jus finished flashin..and can i say this is pretty fast...good job jubeh
i dnt think you even need the google apps..jus add market & it will be fine
I read his tweet, but thought it was a sapphire problem, I'll make an update if people report it's not working

I'm not sure. I haven't messed around with 2.0 yet personally, just wait and see depending on the reports. Can't wait till HTC releases the new qualcomm drivers.
Thanks for putting this out for everyone by the way.
alright guys, I downloaded wifi-tether for 1.6 and added a su binary and superuser.apk and WIFI TETHER WORKS!!!! (It's all thanks to enom's kernel). As a matter of fact, I'm writing this from my laptop through my phone's 3g and I'm about to hit Post Quick Reply!
Gonna try to use bluetooth and test with my wife's phone, if it doesn't work, I'll try the texasthing fix. I'm making an update package with su, superuser.apk, wifitether, and slide-me (market alternative). BRB, gonna test.
Looks very good so far. Only need market app. What is the easiest way to get it on this install after booting up? And from wich rom?
Wi-Fi works fine for me.
[email protected] it boots up fast.
Will try google nav in a min.
Hm
Is this for sure build of 2.0 or a really good rebuild of 1.6?
root doesn't work
I installed some apps through DroidExplorer to my G1 (open overclock) and it says you must have a rooted phone.
Great build, root enable it please!! haha
Great great job though none the less.
I'll keep this rom for a while and wait to see if any new updates show up.
This feels like its from the sdk, since there wasn't a google log in, I have NO CONTACTS AHH!!!!!
haha
Ok, bluetooth was broken, and now it's fixed (thanks cyanogen, jbq, persiansown), added Wifi tether, added su and superuser.apk, added slide-me. I can always make a further update to add more things, have A LOT of space left in /system. Update is in first post.
File to install Market would be the only thing I miss now.

Thank you for all your work and everyone who helped make this rom, you guys are the ones that make the G1 what it is today^_^
Thanks for everything and if I had money I would totally find a way to donate to you guys.
doesn't work for sapphire ??
I also have a dream but that phone is seriously a refrigerator

FIRST PUBLIC BETA OF MY EDITS TO THIS ROM ARE OUT! CHECK THEM OUT HERE:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Browsing Google for new roms to check out, review and breakdown for my own learning pleasure, I stumbled across this hero rom of Android 2.1 with SenseUI.
http://www.4shared.com/file/163848444/8c7602ca/Hero_21.html
Tried to google search the archive name as well as the full 4shared link but couldn't find any articles about it anywhere. (If you know where its from let me know!)
Flashed it on my 32B Magic (MyTouch). This rom is INCREDIBLE. Booted up from flash to setup in less than 3 minutes, everything in setup ran smoothly and quickly (with one exception, I'll note below).
This is SO FAST, right off the bat, no SetCPU, no nothing, AND THE PHONE COMES UP INSTANTLY WHEN RECEIVING A CALL! No force closes so far, no non responding apps, NOTHING.
I've found 2 problems with the rom - Gmail setup can't seem to find a data connection (but the browser and IM clients do - weird? is this a CDMA rom? How do I check?) and the homescreen reboots anytime you hit the "Home" button - but it only takes a second or two to finish. I'm going to fly spare parts onto it and see if I can keep home in memory.
If anyone knows who's rom this is, let me know! Also, if it IS a CDMA rom, can someone port it to GSM? About Phone says this is the HTC Hero, but the Kernel says it is "Unavailable".
TRY THIS ROM, ITS AWESOME! If I can get gmail to work and the home app to stay in memory this will be my daily rom until CR brings his Slide rom out of beta and it runs this fast.
EDIT: Doing some testing, results of set 1
Comes with SU installed and working.
Text messages - working
Sense Widgets - working
Phone calls (in and outbound) - working and SUPER fast, there's NO lag!
NO CAMERA!
wifi - broken? says its unable to start
bluetooth - same as wifi
Gmail - broken? Can't get a data connection to gmail
Market - not working, because I can't get into gmail :-(
Browser - working, browsing the web as we speak
Keyboard - working (HTC_IME with no lag or weird ram-hack like problems.)
SetCPU (installed through adb) - installed and now this thing is just... I mean, there's no words for it. its fast. its really fast.
-----------------------------------------------
I'm working on building off of this rom - but I'm not copying and pasting in a ktichen, I'm actually working to rewrite code, replacing drivers, updating with a new kernel and above all else, making the apps work together. Right now I'm working to fix sync and make the prgram list actually display all the installed apps. This is tedious work, but Ill update you guys on my progress as it happens. I think this is a great rom to build off of because from the start, its super fast and as long as I keep speed in mind as I work on the rom, I think the end result will be a good one. If you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them, both for fixes and modifications to this rom. I'm new to android development so I'm doing a hell of a lot of reading right now but I'm a 8 year programmer and do it for 9 hours a day, 5 days a week, so it's not like programming is new to me - just the android side of it. I'd like to thank Cyanogen fo his wealth of tutorials, repositories, and tips because most of the stuff I'm reading and learning was written by him.
Bugfix log for NEXT release (NOT THE CURRENT ONE!)
Facebook App and sync - fixed
Camera/Video
Wifi
Widgets (they don't all appear in the add widget list)
Google sync - Partially fixed... still working on it
App list not showing all installed apps - Working on it, still don't have any idea why its happening but I will find out if it kills me

[5/9/10] On the google sync issue - I originally thought it was a Hero caching problem, having found a ton of information of this happening on stock hero devices, but it turns out it wasn't. In the process of discovering this, I've also found out why the installed apps don't show in the Rosie app list. Its a bug with how this rom was built in SDK version 6, when the original Hero rom from HTC was build in 7, it was backported (not sure if I have the correct terminology there), breaking a few things. I'm going to recompile in 7, fix the system date format (which is also causing an error in the Google sync) and hopefully get sync working, then I can start looking at other minor bugs and optimization.
-----------------------------------------------
PS - somebody find out where this rom came from so I can give proper credit to the original developer(s)!!!
Edit: I'm told this is Drizzy's original Hero 2.1 (Thanks Chris!) with broken drivers. I'm going to try to contact Eugene to see what modifications he made and also check through online documentation to figure driver **** out. Props to Drizzy/Eugene - this build may be more or less broken (well, it was your first and you had plenty of updates to it since then) but damn, nice job on such a fast rom, its awesome even for alpha.
im a little scared to try it...so i wont zackattacks 2.1 1.1 hero is fast enough and stable enough for me right now.
Could you give us more information from where did you obtain it?

Yeah, I found reviews from this gamercore guy, but he doesn't say where he got it or who made it. He does rom reviews. You can find a bunch of his rom reviews on youtube - I doubt he makes them all, but I could be wrong.
He just review roms.. By the way this was uploaded last year must be 1.5 hero not 2.1 Old news
Wifi doesnt work

Could be - but I don't think so, this thing is old, uploaded last year, I can't get ZX's 2.1 hero to work and I haven't seen a ZX Team update on their 2.1 Sense threads on here or on androidspin, plus this one has a ton of extra features, like the animated browser progress bar from the original espresso rom.
seems interesting. can anyone confirm if this is 2.1 as OP suggusted or 1.5 as mediaman suggusted?
EDIT
just saw, OP just said this is 2.1 and updated today

2: Installation:
>> Copy PD98IMG.zip to your SDCARD
>> Shutdown, hold volume down & press power until you reboot into hboot; flash by pressing volume up & reboot
>> Reboot from bootloader into recovery & format your DATA + CACHE (use 4ext recovery - FULL WIPE will also work if your partitions already were ext3/ext4)

3: Issues:
>> No network connection after first boot.
Fix: reboot. This is needed ONLY after the first boot.

4: Features:
>> What started as a HDPI port the Hero's [email protected] ROM (froyo) ended up in a full-fledged gingerbread build.
Optimisations: both kernel as well as userland; there is no need to get into the technical details & how this rom differs from others; I'm not a supporter of self-propaganda. See for yourself.
>> [email protected] is geared towards my private needs. It certainly isn't built to "satisfy the masses", although it should be able to serve as a stable and performant base for most of you. My personal philosophy is minimalism, performance and stability, which is why you should bear in mind that this is an AOSP/vanilla ROM (no Sense or other bloated UI). There is thus no need to upload screenshots.
>> You need to install all your favourite software. Since everyone has his own preferences, these would be treated as bloat by some people should they have been bundled with the release. Which is why I uploaded a skinny version.
>> A lot of effort has been put into power saving. The current release has (or should have) an idle battery usage of 2%/h with WiFi turned on.

5: End notes:
>> I would like this thread to remain clutter-free, which is why, although I appreciate motivation & thanks, please refrain from posting "thanks", "can't wait to try it" etc.
What I'm expecting? ONLY constructive criticism and dev-related discussion.
>> I will not be posting changelogs. Major releases are most of the time complete reworks, and a changelog would be pointless. Bug fix uploads are referenced in the post concerning the release, as well as a short note in post #1.

Work in Progress:
- I'm working on what I call, InstaExec (IE).
The DHD is the perfect device to test it on (thanks to its 768 MB RAM).
Techie details:
Copy over /system | /data to a ramdisk (early in initrc), then do a switch_root and continue init script. The cons are a slower boot, of course. Syncing after-boot changes is on the todo list. Using IE will also imply that you're quite confident in RARE shutdowns. It would be a pain to wait for a couple hundred Mb's to get copied over each time you boot.
A crypted version is also in the works (although that would only make sense for /data/data, /data/misc and /data/system)
They key file HAS to be present in /mnt/sdcard, otherwise crypted mount will fail.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have reported this project for the Evo 3D (or another at least dual core/1GB RAM device).
The DHD is not capable of handling the pre and post boot routines for phones requiring a reboot quite often.
Well we need root first!!

I thought that was quite obvious.
I posted about it in the general forum. Just do a search. ;]
Okay guys, a test version is ready. Before I upload it, Lemme know a few things:
What apps you CAN'T live without (stock apps)
I want to get rid of bloat.
For example: why would you need 10 apps and widgets for Facebook and Twitter when you can replace that with TweetDeck?
That won't be a problem with the AOSP version I'm working on which will ultimately be [email protected] for DHD.
I say remove:
Amazon MP3
Blocked callers
Desk clock
Facebook
Friend Stream
News
News & weather
Peep
Quickoffice
SoundHound
Stocks
Teeter
Twitter
the only stuff i use in sence roms is music, contacts and calendar ... oh and the clock ;-) the rest can go for me ;-)
I could probably live without most of the stuff on there, would love to keep the big clock weather thing though. This is my first android phone so looking forward to playing/learning with it.
I've rooted my phone as per Evostances instructions, will i need to do anything else before I can flash a rom?
Nuke 'em:
Amazon MP3
Car Panel
Facebook
Friend Stream
HTC Likes
Locations
Peep
Quick Lookup
Reader
Search Anywhere
Search People
SoundHound
Stocks
Teeter

You're doing that through fastboot on your PC, right?

Yes, i was triying through fastboot, but then i tried from the bootloader with the zip, and everything went allright. Now ur rom is working perfectly! Thnx a lot! I really don´t like sense, and before i had a nexus one and i loved it´s interface, so this is the closest to it.
Btw, could u build a rom completely empty? I mean, with no so many apps, just the basic ones like Gapps and that´s it? I´m the one who likes to have just a few apps.....
Thanx!!!
awful
this rom is awfull, why the hell did you add other useless apps in place of the htc ones? that 8pen app is crashing constantly, i can't bring up the keyboard so can't enter my credentials for market.
I'm highly disapointed, moreover i can't go back to the official htc rom, i need a windows PC to run their ****ty RRU...

What i did is uninstalled 8pen, download by pc and moved to the sdcard any keyboard (better keyboard, for example) and that´s it.
Appart from that and lots of useless apps, the rom is working perfectly for me.... keep in mind that it´s a test rom....give it time....

kind of rude, aint your cup of tea just say that.
i don't see you doing anything to help?would like to see you try.
getting back to stock is easy from a non windows pc. its called fastboot. search for it and learn hot to flash system.img
if you're nice enough i'll load my rom up which is stock+su with amazon and soundhound removed. if you're nice
sorry
yeah i'm sorry, i was angry because it's late here and i need to sleep, well except the apps and the 8pen stuff the rom works quite nicely and is smooth, where do i get the system.img file ? i tried to extract the assets from the .exe to get the rom zip file but once i get it i cannot open it, says unauthorized or something like that...
Hmm, I have had no issues so far, that is why I uploaded the files.
As for 8pen, just hold on menu in any input field and select input method -> Swype.
Or disable 8pen from Keyboard settings menu.
I've been experimenting with various roms, and one of the behaviors that really has be perplexed is the automatic download of your previous apps from the market as soon as you agree to the market conditions. Some ROMs do this, while others do not automatically download any of your old apps, leaving you to manually do it over again. What determines this behavior and can I influence it?
Thanks

Is this old market, new market, or both? Because it seems to work better with the new market (but that has the cache issues).

Hi,
Sorry,I was not clear.
When you are setting up your phone on the first boot,and sign in to your Google account,there is an option to sync or not.

IIRC, you are talkinga bout the option to sync my accounts? I definately select that one, as I do get immediate gmail & contacts syncing out of the box. But it seems as though the market is a different beast (as it does not show up under any of the subheads of the accounts & sync menu).
So I talked to a friend today, and after switching to a new ROM, I just noticed that on the android market webpage, my phone is identifying itself slightly differently than it did before. I believe that this has something to do with it, with the ROM providing some sort of additional identification which the market uses for IDing a phone.
FAQ for [ROM][CM10][Kang][Pyramid][RC][4.1.2]
This is a FAQ for users who would like to start (or just have) with Bruce's amazing ROM and run into issues.
The development thread is frequently seeing already-answered questions, frustrating many others
and drastically blowing up the thread.
Thank you Bruce for your great work and allowing us to experience a revitalized Sensation!
Obviously also big THANKS to the whole CM team, whoever you are!
In order to help out those users and lessen Bruce's workload to follow the thread, this should be a community effort,
so please feel free to post any items that need to be added or mistakes were made (I wrote this up from memory).
I'm bad with names, so I apologise beforehand to not plug every username here, thanks to whoever contributed!
If you are new to the rom: please take at least a few minutes to use the SEARCH feature FIRST with corresponding keywords
before posting a question, chances are pretty good that it's been answered already (many times).
Mods: if I missed to follow any guideline here, please let me know and I'll fix asap.
Q: I'm on a different ROM, what should I do?
A: Read the full first post as it already includes hints for installation.
You should then also check to have a current firmware (3.32 at least).
The first post has 2 different download links, one or both of them will have
the current version. If you do not see it in the first link (the >>>I AGREE <<< link),
just think for a second and click the mirror link!
There's also a link to a current gapps package (install from recovery as well).
If you think you need different versions, please search the dev forum first before asking,
there are plenty of tweaked/inverted versions out there.
Q: I'm on a previous build of Bruce's, what should I do?
A: just install the current build over it, you do not need to manually wipe dalvik/cache as the install does it already.
Q: Do I need a different kernel or can I switch to a different kernel?
A: Bruce included his own tweaked kernel. Other kernels (like tamcore) may also work,
but also may break things that Bruce had explicitly built in.
I haven't yet seen clear evidence that switching to another kernel offers anything, so
my personal opinion is: don't mess with it, just because you read about some fancy
tweak in another rom's thread.
Q: My data icon keeps flickering/bad connections?
A: this is a often discussed issue with unclear cause (as of now) and happened not only
to TMO users in the US, but also in other countries.
Yesterday it was reported, that getting a new SIM card fixed this issue (at least for
several months for another user).
Please search the thread also for more details/investigations by SkipJacks.
Q: There are graphical issues with Chrome?
A: This has been a known issue for weeks and still needs fixing (either Chrome gets fixed or new display drivers are released).
Q: Where can I find the option to dis-/enable the screen off CRT animation?
A: Settings -> Developer options: set "Window animation scale" to "0.5" or "off"
Q: Is it possible to have Sense widgets?
A: No, not the same Sense ones (this is a different software base). Check Play Store for widgets.
Q: How do I enable/disable Sweep2Wake?
This is disabled by default. To change this, it requires a mounted /system partition.
Use a root-enabled file explorer like the free "ES File Explorer", which has extra root
options to auto-mount it in read/write-mode (thus enable that option).
Then go edit this file as text:
Code:
/system/etc/init.d/89bruce
In it are separate sections for sweep2wake, tun and badass governor, like
Code:
SWEEP2WAKE=0
Change the value 0 to one of the values described right there in the file, read carefully!
Some changed settings can be activated by executing it in a terminal.
If unsure how to do that, do a manual reboot.
Q: The default badass governor behaves differently (or you experience lag)?
Proceed as with above answer, but this time change this line:
Code:
BADASS=2
The default is fairly well for battery, but set value to 1 to activate higher max. frequency.
Q: The camera does not have previous picture sizes, like 16:9?
Oct 25 build has the camera options now also list "8 16:9", "8 5:3" etc.
Q: My facebook app displays wrong/huge fonts?
A: Reported and confirmed by many to be a FB app issue after last weeks FB updates.
Q: My facebook app does not sync?
Syncing was removed by FB some while ago, but can be done by other apps (HaxSync?)
Q: Wifi hotspot does not work?
A: this is currently reported to be broken (Oct 25), but Bruce will certainly take care of it
when he has the time. Please do not report this repeatedly or ask him daily, also
follow the release notes.
Q: Call volume or headphone volume is out of whack?
A1: at least once after rom install, use volume rockers to set max volume and then
back down to normal level.
A2: Settings -> Sound -> uncheck "Safe headset volume"
Q: Can I install BeatsAudio?
A: with some extra package installed, probably (needs an extra sense framework),
search the dev forum for it.
but it might interfere with the built-in "DSP Manager" and cause other issues.
Please reply for answers to add... and hit Thanks if this helped you.

PART 2:
Q: Better Battery Stats (or other battery app) is showing hours of Alarm Manager Wakelocks attributed to Google Services, what do I do?
A1: please read SkipJacks' post (page 1460!) about an investigation we did the last couple of days about it, excerpt:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We used System Tuner Pro to disable some of the start up items in the Google Services Framework.
Additionally we froze GTalk and Gnow (Google Search). And no, you can't just freeze those two apps.
The GSF will still create wakelocks when trying to activate them. So you have to modify the GSF as well.
These are the things that I disabled in the GSF using System Tuner Pro (other apps may work as,
such as ROM Toolbox Pro etc., all available in the market).
gtalkservice.diagnostits.gtalkdiagnostics
update.systemupdateactivity
gtalkservice.connection autherrordialog
talk.talkprovider
settings.googlesettingsprovider
gservices.gservicesprovider$override reciever
checkin.checinservices$reciever
checkin.checkinservices$triggerreciever
checkein.eventlogservices$receiver
gtalkservice.diagnostics.gtalkdiagnosticsbroadcast reciever
gtalkservice.serviceautostarter
gtalkservices.datamessagereciever
gtalkservice.sendxmppreciever
gtalkservices.packageinstalledreciever
gtalkservice.xmppendpointreciever
loginservice.serviceswatcher (You might try reactivating this one to see what happens)
usagestates.statsuploadservice$reciever
checkin.evenlogservice
gtalkservice.service.stalkservice
gtalkservice.pushmessagingregistar
You can freeze the GSF entirely with 1 easy step and that will also kill the wakelocks. But the Play Store becomes another casualty if you do that. Disabling the events above will stop the Google Services wakelocks dead in their tracks, and allow the Play Store to continue working. (Though I haven't tried purchasing a paid app yet)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is based on current 4.1.2 gapps, but may well be valid for previous builds.
A2: In general, unless utterly needed, disable any "sync" settings in individual apps, such as Calendar, Settings -> Google account etc. and don't forget to switch off BT and/or GPS when you don't need it.
Q: My mobile data icon blinks on and off, what do I do?!
T Mobile USA users may experience issues with mobile data going on and off in about 1 second intervals. The "H" will just blink continuously. The problem is how the AOSP framework interacts with the T Mobile USA data network. It is intermitent, and usually cures itself within an hour or two. This will occur in ALL AOSP ICS and JB roms for the Sensation. (CM9, CM10 Variants, AOKP, etc)
While a cure is constantly being researched, nothing final is upon us as of yet. The best thing you can do is turn data off and leave it off for an hour or two and see if it works later. If you must try to fix it right now there are a few things that may help, but understand they are temporary fixes.
Sending yourself a text message.
Calling to your phone.
Making a call from your phone.
Going into airplane mode for a minute then back to normal.
Sometimes these tricks work because they either force the network to either re-register or authenticate your phone. Sometimes they don't work.
If you absolutely positive must have data working right now, flash a Sense or Desensed ROM. This problem does not exist in Sense ROMs.
See this thread for more details about what does and doesn't help.
Q: I have no or issues with WiFi?
A: Read here.
-- BIG thanks to Skipjacks for the above (and me a little )
Q: The dialer/phone or gallery app does not show?
A: Having installed other tweaks or (inverted) gapps may have caused this. Try reverting any changes made.
If this persists, a fresh, clean install should be fixing it in any case.
Q: GPS is not working correctly?
A1: suggested apps to try out: "Faster Fix", "GPS Status" or simialr in market
A2: Settings -> Location access -> GPS source.. there check "Use internal GPS"
A3: "go outside!" (thanks Catnap, that made me laugh!)
-- Thanks to Catnap and darkbasic4
Q: I have a problem with feature X! Is this ROM broken?
A: Can you reproduce the problem after a full wipe, install the ROM (& gapps)? If not, it's not the ROM.
-- Thanks to Konstigt
Q: What to do about slow SD card transfer speeds?
A1: A solution I would recommend: MultiMount SD Card app
A2: Mount USB from within 4ext and transfer's should be at full speed
-- Thanks to MAMeingast and corumuk
Q.: Where did my video/picture/ringtone/music files go? They are on the SDcard but I can't see them in Apollo, the Gallery, etc.
A: Apps will not scan folders for media if they have a hidden file called .nomedia (with the dot in front!) in them.
Certain root apps have been known to put such a file in the main folder of the SD card itself, causing all photos, etc., to vanish. To fix, use a file manager like ES and enable View Hidden Files in the settings. Check the main folder of your SDcard (and others, if you like) and delete .nomedia wherever you want to be able to see media - especially the root directory of the SDcard. Then - and this is important - turn the phone OFF and reboot it (Restart may not be enough). This forces Android to rescan the card and your media will reappear.

Q: I have terrible battery life. After some browsing, phone calls etc. my battery is down from 100% to 50% in just one hour.
A: Do this battery test, charge to 100%. Set display brightness to 100%. Set timeout to 30 minutes. Disable WiFi, Bluetooth, Sync, GPS. Unplug the charger and just leave the phone at the home screen. Touch it after 30 minutes and let it sit for another 30 minutes. If you battery is below <insert a normal batterys percentage here> you might consider a new battery. So it's not the ROM!
(I don't know what actual value is supposed to be there, yikes...)
-- Thanks to Konstigt
Q: What kernel should I install?
A: The rom comes with it's own tweaked kernel (3.0.48 as of Oct 25).
You should not install other kernels, that are not explicitly made for Jelly Bean! The rom's libraries (a higher layer than the kernel) depend mostly on having functions and versions to be on the same "level" and could cause FCs/reboots if something is out of sync.
The Linux kernel contains drivers for: Display, Keypad, Camera, Wifi, Flash Memory, Audio, Power Mgmt etc. and as such it is specific to your phone model (different hardware likes chipsets, display etc.).
The kernel is under constant development, so mostly it's about fixing things, but in rare events there may be an issue introduced with it.
If that happens to you, you could either wait for one of the next frequently updated builds or revert to a previous build if need be.
Contributed by aVe2000 (thank him if it helped you):
- start Google Search|go to Settings|disable Google now
- use a tool like autostarts*|disable everything with gtalk, youtube, picasa uploader and (g)maps in it's name
(other tools also capable of that: Android/System Tuner, ROM Toolbox etc.)
- go to the sync profiles|disable all you do not really need (e.g. mail: sync manually)
- dont use any live wallpapers
- dont use widgets that automatically update its contents
- go to Settings|Performance|Processor|choose BADASS and then ... change init.d/89bruce file for badass to '3'
- additionally disable News & Weather with the autostarts* tool if not needed
- go to Settings|Backup & reset|Disable backup data
- disable all location based stuff or turn off as soon as no longer needed
- go to Settings|Display and disable automatic light adjustments

Just to be sure: if you have a rom build before Sept 5 you should also upgrade to the current build.
We should ask the moderators to delete the posts between the first post and the second part of your FAQ... I already requested the removal of my post! If we leave it like this, people will often not realize that there is a second part...

I think you need to edit that part.

Just report your own post (click the orange triangle with the exlamation mark) with a non-urgent request to remove the post! The mods will then delete it (mine is already gone)!
I've installed the 10/25 version, but still the camera is only showing up to 5mp.
Is anyone else having the same problem or know a fix?

Yes, I did notify Bruce and he kindly agreed to do that when he's got time.
As to the g-locks, please scroll down page 1 to see "Part 2", where there is a link to the original post.

It's definitely there. The camera settings' 2nd options screen does show you the "Picture size" option, right?
Clicking the "right" arrow will list "8 16:9", "8 5:3" and "8" then.
P.S.: I ran out of thanks for today, so thanks to MAMeingast as well!

@tobitege.. i had to install the gallery 2 apk for it.. but after that when i reflashed the rom it didnt go away.. i dunno what happened b4.. will have to c in later builds if it persists..
And yes i m totally unable to get the 16:9 ratio 8mp camera shot.. as posted by someone to flash a file for it.. it didnt work at all for me.. i think it was toryheal or something.. but can u make out y it doesnt work for me??
Also about the battery.. i just examined it.. i got from 100 to 30 in 1 hours 15 mins with screen on all the time wifi on all the time.. played medium games like jetpack joyride browsed the web.. then i continued to use it on n till i reached 2 %.. suprisingly i got 2 hours 20 mins of "screen on" with 4 hours on battery..on 25th oct build without solving the g-lock issue.. do u think my battery is gone or is it a good battery outcome??

It's definitely there. The camera settings' 2nd options screen does show you the "Picture size" option, right?
Clicking the "right" arrow will list "8 16:9", "8 5:3" and "8" then.
I have a left arrow and it shows 5m Pixels but no more right arrows. Should I reflash?!?

Yes, first try flashing again without any wiping. If that still won't work, a full wipe/fresh install might be needed.
