[CDMA HERO ROM] Gumbo ROM 1.5c

[Jerry Hildenbrand]

Sorry for another noobish question...

I have the Rosie.apk and am ready to install... typically I would install an .apk with Astro file manager, but that doesn't seem to work. Do I need to flash this file like I would with a rom?

Thanks.

You'll have to manually push it. Take that Gumbo 1.5b file, and find /system/app/Rosie.apk AND Rosie.odex

Copy both those files into the /tools folder of your Android SDK. Open the windows command prompt and navigate to that directory. Type this in one line at a time:

adb remount
adb push Rosie.apk /system/app/Rosie.apk
adb push Rosie.odex /system/app/Rosie.odex
adb reboot

The phone will reboot and you'll be good to go.

Be sure to run a backup first!


@kratos - good luck! Holler if you need anything

The ext partition that the recovery image creates is your app space.

When the system boots up, it checks if an ext partition is present on the SD card.

If it is, the system changes the /data/app/ partition to a symbolic link to /sdcard/app/ . As far as the system is concerned, nothing has changed, It still installs apps to /data/app, but now that location has been moved to the sdcard.

If no ext partition is there, the script for apps 2 sd just closes and the system uses the normal location (on the phones internal storage) for apps.

To check if it's working:
make sure you have an app installed. Open a terminal emulator on the phone, or hook up to a computer and open the adb shell. Run these two commands:

cd /data/app
pwd

If it returns /sdcard/app you're good to go.

Unless you're running Linux on a computer, you won't have access to the ext partition directly. You will have to use the adb shell to go into the /data/app directory.


The scripts aren't perfect. There's a good chance you will end up wiping everything and reflashing the ROM after you've partitioned your sd card, and I recommend this.

In recovery, partition your card
Use the wipe data/factory reset option
Reflash your ROM

You start all over from scratch, but you have as much app storage as you like.

im having some issues opening the adb shell program

 

[Jerry Hildenbrand]

make sure usb debugging is enabled
connect to your computer
make sure your command window is in the sdk/tools folder
run

adb devices

and it should show your phones serial number. If it doesn;t, tell me what it does say.

 

[sparda07]

adb is not recognized as an internal or external command

 

[sparda07]

C:\Android_Stuff\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb devices
'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

never mind i got it to work i had to reinstall everything on my computer. I think its time for a new one lol

 

[Drybonz]

adb remount
adb push Rosie.apk /system/app/Rosie.apk
adb push Rosie.odex /system/app/Rosie.odex
adb reboot

The phone will reboot and you'll be good to go.g

Cool, thanks... I just ran these commands and the push commands worked but when I got to reboot, I got the message "error: closed"... So, I just did the reboot manually... but after the reboot the theme was not applied.

What did I do wrong?

*edit* I got the theme working. Thanks again.

I don't know if it's just my phone but I can't change my notification for sms to silent, and I would like to cause I don't like getting double notifications with handset sms.

goto the htc one and turn off all settings

 

[lildegregs22#AC]

I figured it out thank you

 

[sparda07]

this might have been asked before but i was wondering if there is a way to get the power control bar" like the New one that everyone says comes with 2.1 but the themes or ROM said there were 1.5 and 1.6. I just want that bar and can't find a valid file to download for it.

Hey has anyone had any quirks taking pictures? As in random vertical bars? Ever since upgrading to gumbo......it has been a plague onto me.

Any insight?

 

[Robchaos_]

no problems here.

 

[Ali Fazel]

I've seen the random vertical bars.

How can i find out the Current settings for this ROM? Should i download SetCpu or not?

By current settings, what do you mean? Also, you don't need SetCPU -- Gbhil built into this ROM a aggressive memory/process killer and setup the phone to "On Demand" settings by default.

Thanks for the info... I didn't realize this. I have been running SetCPU. Should I uninstall it now that I have been using it, or did it over-write gbhil's settings and now I should keep running it?

Thanks.

RE powercontrol bar - No way to get this in cupcake, short of hacking the source to run with the 1.4 libraries and building. Way too much work. You got 7 screens, put the HTC settings widgets on one of them and set auto bright. Problem solved

RE redlines on camera - Not seeing that here. Try playing with white balance settings maybe?

RE setcpu - Still very useful to set profiles for sleeping, low battery and failsafe. Not needed to set scaling gov unless you have the need to switch from ondemand and want a gui tool. In fact, the line in gumbo.sh that sets scaling isn't needed if you don't want to switch. The kernel is built to boot the device with the ondemand scaling governor.
