Fresh ROM 3.3.0.1 Based On The Latest EVO 4G OTA 3.29.651.5 Now Available For Download

Posted by in Development, EVO 4G (Supersonic), News

Last night we posted about Flipzmod3's caffeine-fueled rampage on the new OTA update for the HTC EVO. The OTA got rooted really-really fast, and now we have a fully-working, stable ROM based on it.

Last night, flipz, the author of Fresh ROM, sent out a test version of Fresh ROM 3.3.0 to all the donors/testers, and we did our job well. We nitpicked every tiny little bug, and the result is that tiny little .1 at the end of the public release flipz announced this morning, with fixes for all known bugs. Here's the changelog so you know what to expect going from Fresh 3.2 to 3.3.0.1:

Changes from Fresh Evo 3.2.0.0 to 3.3.0.1:

  • Based on a new Sprint OTA (3.29.651.5)
  • New kernel by HTC (ge2fb08e)
    • Modified slightly to allow apps2sd and remount to work
    • Has fps unlocked by default, straight from HTC’s source!

Want Sense On Your Non-HTC Device? Download The Sense Theme For ADWLauncher

Posted by in Development, Devices By Manufacturer, News

XDA-Devs forum member JAguirre1231 has put together a theme for ADWLauncher that makes it look pretty similar to the Sense UI launcher found on HTC devices. Unfortunately, at this point only MDPI devices are supported (for those who don't know, MDPI is for lower-resolution phones, while HDPI is for phones such as the EVO, Epic, and Droid series). However, JAguirre says in the thread that he's planning on making an HDPI version as well.

Installation is more complex than ADW themes found in the Market, but still isn't too rough:

  1. Download the .zip (provided at source link), then unzip
  2. Install Sense.apk on your phone
  3. Install ADWLauncher.apk
  4. Place the remaining two files (adw_settings.xml and adb_backup.db) in the root of your SD Card
  5. Import the .xml and .db files by using Restore in ADW

Is it perfect?

New EVO 4G Radio v2.15.00.09.01 and PRI v1.77_003 From The 3.29.651.5 OTA Now Available - Download And Flash Away

Posted by in Development, EVO 4G (Supersonic), News

flipz, the chef behind Fresh ROM (one of the first and still best ROMs for HTC Hero and EVO 4G) has wasted no time picking apart and giving us pieces of the new over-the-air update for the EVO. In his latest blog post, flipz gives us the new PRI v1.77_003 and the new radio v2.15.00.09.01.

If you're not too keen on what a PRI or radio are exactly, don't be ashamed. Here are the basics:
  • PRI: Flipz himself said it best in this quote: “… a connection between your phone and the radio… responsible for carrying both voice and data.”  Essentially, updating your PRI increases the efficiency of how your handset and its radio unit talk to each other.

The New HTC EVO 4G 3.29.561.5 Update Already Rooted

Posted by in Development, EVO 4G (Supersonic), HTC, News

Earlier, HTC and Sprint announced that they would be rolling out an update for the EVO 4G to fix some issues. Very shortly after the announcement (not the update itself, which literally went live 30 minutes ago, but the announcement of it, mind you), a rooted version of said update was released by the insane, caffeine fueled developers at XDA. Normally, after an update such as this you would have to wait for some kind dev to root the update or take advantage of Unrevoked Forever. Apparently, though, the Android community was ahead of HTC themselves in releasing the OTA update.

CyanogenMod Looks To Continue Its Reign, Expand To Acer Liquid, HTC Wildfire, Samsung Vibrant, and HTC G2

Posted by in Captivate, Development, Devices By Manufacturer, Fascinate, G2 (Vision), Galaxy S, Liquid A1, News, Vibrant, Wildfire (Buzz)

Good news for what's likely to be a whole crapton of users: CyanogenMod, Android's most popular ROM, will be coming to a handful of new devices with CM6.1. Namely:

There will also be support for a few new devices- Acer Liquid, HTC Wildfire and Samsung Vibrant. My eye is also on the new HTC phones that are about to get released like the G2.

It looks like their doors are still open to new devs and currently unsupported devices, as well - to quote Cyanogen once more:

A lot of people ask me about adding support for their phone, but we can only support phones that we actually own.

Problems Updating System Apps With CyanogenMod 6 On Your Nexus One? Download The App Update Pack

Posted by in Apps/Games, Development, News, Nexus One (Passion)

It turns out that some Nexus One owners running CyanogenMod 6 (CM6) have been experiencing issues when trying to update a handful of system apps. As such, XDA-Devs forum member unforgiven512 has thrown the updates into a tidy package. The updated apps are:

  • Amazon MP3
  • Google Maps
  • Google Search
  • Google Voice
  • ROM Manager
  • Street View
  • Superuser
  • TalkBack
  • Twitter
  • Voice Search

    • Not only does this fix the app updating bug, but it moves the app info from the "data" partition to the "system" partition. There are two benefits to doing so:

    2. Updates to system apps are stored on the "data" partition.

    CyanogenMod 6.0.0 Final/Stable For HTC Hero CDMA Released

    Posted by in Development, Froyo 2.2, Hero (Sprint, HeroC), HTC, News
    Last Updated: August 1st, 2012

    CyanogenMod 6 is one of the most popular Android custom ROMs, and for a good reason - besides supporting a myriad of devices, it is built from AOSP (Android Open Source Project), which means no extra garbage that normally comes installed by carriers and customizations/improvements for the people, by the people (the CM contributor community is huge).

    Sprint has abandoned our beloved HTC Hero (it was my first Android device a bit under a year ago now and holds a special place in my heart) but the Android community hasn't. The Hero lives on - in fact it has been enjoying Android 2.2 Froyo for a while now in alpha/beta/RC form, not thanks to Sprint yet again.

    CyanogenMod 6 Achieves A New Milestone... Motorola Milestone That Is

    Posted by in Development, Froyo 2.2, Milestone, Motorola, News

    This article mentions flashing of custom ROMs. If you’re unfamiliar with this term, hit up our primer here:

    CyanogenMod 6, a very popular custom Froyo ROM for a whole slew of Android phones, has given thousands of Android users something device manufacturers tried to take away - absolute freedom in customizing your Android experience. One glaring omission from the bunch is the Motorola Milestone, which Motorola decided to lock down way harder than its US counterpart, the original Droid.

    All of this changed the other day with the announcement of Milestone support for CyanogenMod 6.1.
