(ROM) BiffHero-BETA2-"Oh hiiiiii"-Eris/2.1/Sense (8/12/2010)

Well its that time. I'm releasing a Eris/Hero ROM. Presenting BiffHero Beta2, there was a beta1, it was broke . This is based off of Kingklick92's Eris2g1. I removed some things that didn't need to be there (bluetooth and stock.apk) I also replaced the google apps with the CM5 build and replaced the kernel with the latest CM kernel (including low mem killer patches, 576mhz overclock etc). Also added a better boot animation. Gotta say, this thing is fast. I'm quite impressed. Please see the credits and post boot setup below. Please not this is very much a work in progress. IF ANYONE CAN GET GOOGLE TO SYNC, YOU WOULD BE MY "HERO"
I'm not a dev, nor do I claim to be. Anyone could do what i'm doing, i'm just choosing to share it. If your phone explodes... NOT IT

WHAT WORKS
----------------
*WIFI
*Camera
*GPS
*Facebook
*Calls
*SMS
*Internets
WHAT DOESN'T

Thanks to the community for putting up with mah "devvin"

awesome..... m gonna try this soooooon on my G1...!!!

Will definitely give this a try, Biff.
----------------------------------
[UPDATE]
Not bad, Biff! This is by far the most usable 2.1 Hero ROM I have used on the MyTouch. The speed certainly surpasses that of most ported Hero roms. I'm not one to do video reviews or anything, but maybe once we get GAPPS working I can do a write up review with screenies.
Wish I could help you with syncing the GAPPS, but don't have the knowledge or time to spend on it (especially while sitting here at work! )
I'm looking forward to the development of this ROM. It would be awesome to have a *real, fast and stable* hero ROM.

* Gapps
*Bluetooh
*CAMCORDER
Not working, no thanks, will wait.

Have u tried ext2/3/4 for google apps
Thats pretfy much a requirement on sense roms on g1 nowadays

I tried upgrading to ext4 and reflashed. Still a no-go for GAPPS. It gives the error that it "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server." Even though I'm attempting sync over wifi..

Could it be because he replaced the gapps with the cm5 build?

also if you guys really want to try this rom with gapps flash KiNgxKxlick-Espresso2G1-v1.3 and then when it finishes booting go back to recovery and then wipe everything but sd card ext partition and then flash this rom and you will have working gapps
also to anyone getting mad with this rom its a beta meaning not everything is gonna work this is still in testing so give it some time but so far this is the fastest sense rom out there

Since When?
Devs puttin outdate apps in with there "cherished" builds...r u for real...thats like buying an eclair or froyo with expired ingredients man!!! stop it!!!! just dont include the damn thing!

Hey guys,
this sounds quite interesting, since i like the sense framework.
Could someone try to install flash lite:
apk is here: http://www.mediafire.com/?ix2iwdm4otl
(found on http://androidforums.com/motorola-droid/67244-flash-player-flash-lite-apks.html)
We know flash 10.1 wont work ... but since flash lite worked on the donut hero roms, maybe this one runs also.
Cheers

i gave ur rom a try ... flash worked for me out-of-the-box ... seems like flash lite is already implementet in that eris rom. Great! gaaps forced closed for me and camera preview pic is gropped.

Biff, I am so mad that you dont have every single thing working in this rom, if its not fixed in the next 20 minutes i am not going to use it anymore and i know how sad you would be about that. Haha come on guys! Biff is doing this for fun, and obviously its not done yet. SO QUIT *****ING! He doesnt have to do this for anyone (including his perfectly working Froyo ROM) like he said, if you dont like it, go somewhere else. HE NEVER SAID GAPPS WERE WORKING!
P.S Hey Biff, Gapps arent working

[how to port]inc 2 evo porting patch & tut(+3 roms)

2 METHODS OF PORTING BELOW posted by INCDOES

(FOLLOWING THE GUIDE BELOW)
&
INCDOES PORTING PATCH
(EVERYTHING YOU NEED IN A ZIP)=much easier,should be the obvious choice for most...
USE THE METHOD THAT SUITS YOUR NEEDS...
UPDATE:To avoid confusion, this thread was started before the porting patch was released...i chose to leave the MANUAL directions below posted on incdoes blog for those of us that like to know whats going on behind the scenes of the updater.script=what the patch is doing

CHECK OUT THE INCDOES INC 2 EVO PORTING PATCH
CAUTION:
This is not recommended for the ave everday user/know nothing/no time to fudge with my phone crowd...
that being said, now for the fun stuff
i take no credit for any of this other than typing(incdoes leaked most of these port bases). i am just posting links to roms i found in inc forum with the instructions for porting to evo from incs blog. just trying to initiate some more rom development. i am still trying to decide which i will be working on...but this is open source so i just put it here for evo users/devs to view and get porting

HOW TO PORT INC ROM TO EVO
-excerpt from incdoes blog-
Okay, to run an INC ROM on your EVO would be simple. There will be a few broken 'stuff' e.g. bt, wifi etc... but easy fixes!
First you will need the INC ROM you desire to run on your EVO. Now, if its an "INC Sense ROM" you will need a "EVO Sense Kernel" and if it's an AOSP ROM then you will need a AOSP kernel.
Now there will be a few things you will need to replace on the INC ROM to make it run on your EVO:
~We are going to use a sense 2.2 rom as an example~
"so grab these files from any EVO sense ROM, preferable stock 2.2 EVO"
- boot.img (for your phone to bootup)
- system/usr (for buttons)
- system/lib/hw (for lights)
- system/lib/modules (for wifi)
- system/etc/vold.stab (for sdcard readable)
- build.prop (for market and LED's fix)
please note: some prop files include different edits that can break market/data/network/LED's... but then again, easy fixes!
Now you have an INC Sense ROM and 'all the files listed above pulled from an EVO Sense rom, you will have to add/replace the files pulled from the EVO ROM into the INC ROM, sign the .zip and flash (via recovery).
Should/will bootup if its based on the same firmware i.e. 2.2 INC ROM and 2.2 EVO ROM.

Wonder if this process can be used to port nexus roms?
Probly a couple other things needed.

I had a idea, the Incredible version of the normal LiquidE ROM (not the sense hybrid) seems to have incoming calls working unlike our Evo version. What if we tried porting it using this method, anyone think that might work?

Edit: I realized the boot.img would be for a sense rom, and nexus is aosp. So i can rip the boot.img from cyanogen out and stick it in the nexus rom and it'll purr?
Or... What?

OHHH I wish I had patients!! Quite the opposite actually.....just a really busy life.....but I may try to start tonight anyway .

So im flashing a nexus rom right now, that i switched out all the stuff + threw in a cyanogen kernel.
If this thing bricks...
___________
UPDATE: It booted up, but it doesnt register any touch on the touch screen. LOL.
Hmmm maybe if.. Any ideas guys? I switch some other stuff around too. Maybe i can figure this out...
UPDATE: I flashed netarchy universal kernel and now the touch works, i cant get any signal, i dunno what stuff needs to be switch out from GSM to CDMA.
Wifi WORKS! I dont have a keyboard for some reason, so i cant enter my password to test it but it looks to be fine. And since i have no internet connection i cant get astro to install one from my SD haha.

I flashed over sky raider 3.3 final and every thing is perfect. Theres a uncommon sense patch which I also ported because I remember reading that on the hd Rom the ego didn't like the 4 signal bars. Only thing not exactly right is the camera. It doesn't have the capture button but I can take pics by holding a finger on the screen. Video is a no go due to not having the nature button. This Rom is the smoothest I've used and I'm a flash a holic so I've used them all.

So if I use the flash patch do I need to do any of the other stuff listed in the op(replacing files)?

Sweet Magnus, may have to get back to you details of what i find wrong. But i got a porject due next week for school. I have to record us BMXing this weekend. Then make an edit. If i get that sweet alone time in the eveing, i'll be sure happy to port all three and give findings.

[Q] Please help im new and stuck! evo shift 4 g

Hi Everyone. I am trying to larn all this rooting and flashing thing! I have a rooted HTC Evo 4G. The Rom I am using is MIUI android 2.3.5 the kernel is 2.6.35.13-cyanogenmod. First off I need to know if this is the right rom to be using, I have a couple issues. One is that i dont have 4g anymore. Two is that my phone no longer works with my bluetooth in my car. Before it was rooted my phone hooked up to the car with no issues.
Most important like i said im tryng to learn, I had my phone rooted by someone else and have no idea how to flash a new rom or what I need to do so. So if someone could help me answer these questions and maybe direct me to where ever I need to go to learn, like flashing new rom for dummies! Thanks!!!

The reason your 4G isn't working is because it's not supported on MIUI. The ROM may be causing your bluetooth issue as well.
I can't really say if it's the right or wrong ROM, it's all about personal preference. You should probably look through the development section and see what ROM would best fit you. Also, there's several other threads on this section with people giving reviews/opinions of different ROMs..
As far as flashing ROMs, take a look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1266885

idk too much about miui because I dont use it.
MIUI does not support 4G as of yet (and may not ever) thats just something you lose.
As for the other issues I really don't know and can't help you with
To flash a new ROM you have to do these steps.
Download the ROM of choice
Put it on your SD Card (anywhere)
On your phone turn it completley off and hold down the "Volume Down & Power" at the same time
*From this point you use the volume keys to scroll up and down and power to select options*
Go to recovery and select it
once in recovery (you will be able to tell) go down to factory/data reset and click ok
Once that is finished go to wipe cache and select it
Once that is finished go to -advanced- then wipe dalvik cache and select it
once that is done go to "install zip from sd card"
then go to "choose zip from sd card"
find the ROM you downloaded and select it and flash.
Depending on the ROM it will take from 1-5 minutes to complete flashing. Once done just go to reboot at the top
It is also recommended to do the "wiping" steps 2-3 times (steps 7-9)

thank you for your help. I have been reading and reading and I have a better idea as to what i need to do. Im in the process of downloading Mikshifted v1.6. I did not see anything about weather it supports bluetooth or 4g, do you have a suggestion as to what rom does if this does not? And do i need a different Kernnal?
Thank you!

MikShifted G v1.6 is fully functioning. Everything works, 4G, Bluetooth, WiFi, WiFi Tethering, USB Tethering, everything works. Plus it has a lot of extras. One thing I will say it cannot at the present time be OC'd. No you do not need to flash a different kernel with it. Believe me when I tell you it does not need it.

Everything should be working with MikShifted ROMs, as far as I know. Also, there's no custom kernels for Gingerbread Sense ROMs until htc releases the source code.

Oc'd is just short for overclocked. Basically, until htc releases the source you can't use any overclocked kernels so you'll have to run at 800mhz, but MikG is surprisingly quick for running stock

You can oc (overclock) up to 2.0ghz (depending upon kernel and phone) with an AOSP ROM (no sense). Its all about personal preference.

Very true . Thanks to all the great Devs on the Shift community we have choices to suit our personal preferences .

another issue for the newbie!
I recently flashed the mik rom v1.6 and loved it everything went smoothly until i realized I am not getting any text messages. and before i go back to the miui rom I was using i figured I would ask if anyone else had this issue?
Thanks
I did switch the rom and still have the same issue any suggestions?

My personal preference for ROM is CyanogenMod (CM). It has everything a person can need and more, but its not noob friendly by any means (I learned that the hard way! Muchos thanks to Root Master Crump for taking me off the straight and narrow!). I've tried a few other ROMs and its really all about personal preference, as others have said. I like being able to customize out the wazzoo, but if you're looking for speed/performance and ease of use, Mik is very solid.

You could try updating your prl and see if that helps.I think it's probably an issue with Sprint and not the ROM though. Maybe post something in the MikG thread and see if others are having issues.

I have talked to sprint and its not on their end. I have doing alot of reading and not on answer on how to get my texting back. I tried going back to mIui and still not texts coming in. Im lost any ideas out there?

You need to update your PRL and Profile. Then reboot the phone, but you have to be on Sense to do that. Also, as soon as you finish the flashing process. Send yourself an SMS/MMS. Before you start loading things onto the phone. That way it will help you narrow down the issue. So your sure it's not something your loading on the phone causing the issue.

Latest info on CM7 porting

I have some news on my CM7 porting, good and bad.
The good new first.
Good:
I can get the FULL version including the kernel to run in safestrap, and it is like 97% working.
Bad:
I can not get the ROM, without the kernel, to boot properly when flashing it to the phone from the bootstrap. I have spoken with several experts and this may not be something we can work out until the bootloader is unlocked. There are hooks in almost every part of CM that make android calls, that are part of their own version of android (it is heavily customized, and the code is available, and how I got it) and the kernel they use. The reason this works in safestrap, is because I can load the kernel on top of our kernel, but it is slower this way. Think of running a VM on top of your current OS, and how that can have some lag if your computer is not real powerful.
The bottom line, I am not sure if we can get CM working for everyone just yet. I am not sure where lfaber06 is at with CM9 and if he has tested it directly on the phone without safestrap yet or not. Maybe he will post in here what his experience has been, with this.

I'd like to give it a whirl anyway.

ONLY with safestrap, right now. If you try to flash it with the bootstrap it will softbrick your phone.
--EDIT--
Remember safestrap is not really working right now... lfaber06 and I have some highly modified versions that really are not for the rest of the world yet, and my version has a custom compiled version of CWM, and is a little buggy.

I have made quite a bit of progress on cm9 in safestrap, the only real issue i have is the radio which i am constantly trying different things with. I have not tried flashing cm9 or cm7 in the bootstrap but I have a method for it..(I think, Remember the D3 can run cm7 from the bootstrap) I have a file I have modified for cm9 that im sure will work for cm7 flashing in bootstrap. You would need to add some modified files to /system/rootfs/ and preinstall support to boot init.d and also run the fixboot.zip at boot. Really running under safestrap (i'm using the /preinstall partition) does not seem to slow it down much. But tbh I havent really "run" it while it's booted I'm usally making edits and rebooting to check for service. I'm going to tear into hashcodes cm7 for the D3 and see what I can come up with. It seems like it had the kernel included but the scripts only called for it if the safe file existed on the /data partition.

PM me a link to hashcodes d3 CM7 ported ROM (if you have one, I have had a hard time locating a completed one), and not the source code, that is what I used to compile my CM7 port with. I would like to test something, I have a theory on this, that I won't share with everyone here, since it really would not be very interesting here to anyone not trying to port these over.... we will talk more about this in PM.
Thanks!

Yeah a couple days ago I flashed CM9 through Bootstrap. Everything booted okay and and everything ran fine. Again the only problems were that the phone didn't work, due to the telephony.apk issue and market wouldn't launch. Otherwise everything else ran a-okay!

Yes it sure does thanks, I flashed it, played with it, and I am taking a look at a few things with your CM9 ROM, and since we PM'd I have been digging into the D3 CM7.2 version that hashcode had created. I am not quite ready to flash it yet, but maybe something tomorrow, once I have the ROM to the point that I am happy to play with it on my phone and see what works and what does not.
It looks like the issue with my old CM7 ROM, from the logs I grabbed a little while ago, with logcat, were due to kernel driver files not found during loading, so it looks like my compile had issues linking to our kernel. I so wish I had the source for our phones kernel, it would make compiling CM7 so much easier, and NO the ME865 source will not due, so don't mention it here.

Glad I could help! Also @lfaber06, what do you mean by your ported version doesn't work? That's the one I flashed.
**Edit** Also the camera doesn't work, if you guys want in to that. Probably an incorrect driver or something...

So... any news to report on either CM7 or CM9?

By ported I mean the ones i've cooked up, their not ready for prime time so no sense in uploading them but they are good to share with jim. I don't think the camera works on any of the unofficial builds it uses a new type of "ion" driver that makes the camera uber responsive. Your post has however led me to build a few working ports for bootstrap but its still the same old radio driver issue.

Cool Any ideas from what phone we can pull the radio drivers from? I'm assuming that it has to be a GSM phone running the TI's OMAP processor, that also has a CM9 port, right?

Tbh, I have no idea... I have been looking at every moto phone google can find and so far I have had no luck. Call me crazy but I think our radio is more commonly found in sony's... (I'd welcome ANY input on the radio)

What exactly should I be looking for to find a phone with a similar radio? Here's a system dump for the xperia play, you could try pulling the telephony.apk... http://rapidshare.com/files/45600580..._Play_DUMP.rar Most of the sony's though run on Qualcomm's Snapdragon Processor

That's the thing idk... I assumed that it was a Sony radio BC when I Google rlidu300-ril.so I get a device tree for a Sony. We need to know what radio we have then we can start checking sources.

Installing AOKP

Hi everyone, this is my first post in the sensation forums. Here is my question. A friend of mine has the sensation in stock form and wants to me to install AOKP on it. I've been reading up on how to get s-off and installing cwr. Now I have a vibrant and if on a stock or froyo rom installing a cm7 rom is recommended prior to installing any ics rom to get partitions and such correctly. Is there a rom that needs to be flashed before I can flash his sensation with the aokp rom or is it safe to flash straight from stock rom. Thanks in advanced.

The process goes basically like this:
A) Unlock the bootloader by means of Revolutionary.io
B) Root the Stock Rom
C) Flash 4EXT recovery from the APK downloaded at 4ext.net
D) Download the 3.32 unlocked firmware from the dev thread.
E) Put firmware PG58IMG file on root of SD card and hit up the bootloader, apply firmware.
F) Remove firmware file from SD card so you can get to 4EXT recovery from the bootloader.
G) Put rom on SD card, reboot into recovery, flash rom.
Only one problem is that AOKP isn't really supported, or 100% ready to roll on this device. Virtuous Inquisition or ARHD + Shnizlon's AOSP mod is a much more stable, feature-packed approach.

Thanks sshede, that's a pretty good tut you wrote for me there. And I'll definitely search and look into the roms you recommend. And also time for me to start downloading all those files and the drivers for his phone. I probably won't mod his phone till this weekend so it will give me more time to do my reading up. Thanks once again.

Lol wut. Aokp is faster, more stable and smoother than VI. I have been using it for like 1 month without a single reboot. Only few bugs (480p camcorder) that don't affect the experience at all. Give it a try, you will think CM is a joke after using AOKP's ROM Control (which is a compilation of a LOT of tweaks/mods/etc).

Totally subjective. Some people prefer 480p because it doesn't use nearly as much space. Bluetooth isn't 100% functioning either. It may not bother you, but some people need them. And I've tried my fair share of both Sense and AOSP-based roms, nothing is more stable than Sense-based roms right now. All the drivers are straight from HTC, nothing's been patched together.

Yes. The main problem I had with VI was the random black screen of death. Had to pull battery away every couple days as the phone wouldn't turn back on. That's why I don't like that ROM.
And, well, its personal preferences
