Imagio Overclock Stable No SOD

Imagio Overclock Stable No SOD - Imagio General

hey everyone!
Alrighty i have been following the massive msm7k overclock thread and i have found a way to overclock stable to a 691 mhz with going to sleep and receive phone calls with no SOD.
I cant take all the credit for this because of it not being made by me sooo thanks to nettrip, mort (mortscrip), and RoboWang (throttling creator).
So if you think your Imagio needs a little kick start! This is your solution! USE AT OWN RISK (NOT ALL DEVICES WILL BE ABLE TO REACH ALL SPEEDS) USE AT YOUR OWN RISK AGAIN!
First off you must know how to regedit, create shortcuts, and navigate through file structures.
Download mort Script cab for you device. (google mortscript ( its the .de site) - download the zip for pcc)
Install it on your imagio
Download the v2 msm7kcupspeed from nettrip's thread here on xda and install. do not change any speed values in the program. You will use this to check that the OC is working and the scripts are installed correctly.
OKay here is the tricky part.... SO PAY ATTENTION!!!
Open your regedit (total commander is a good one) and your going to locate where your DispOn Registry is. Two locations to check. CHECK where it is or youll be doing all this work for nothinnnn!!
reg_root_bkl = "HKCU" <--------
reg_key_bkl = "ControlPanel\BackLight"
reg_val_bkl = "DispOn"
or
reg_root_bkl = "HKLM" <--------
reg_key_bkl = "Drivers\Display"
reg_val_bkl = "DispOn"
The rom i am using has it located at HKLU/ControlPanel/Backlight
Once you find your location download the correct file.
IF YOUR LOACTION IS HKLU then grab CSA_U.mscr
IF YOU LOCATION IS HKLM then grab CSA_M.mscr
Copy this file to your storage card. It is neccesary to put it on the storage card because if you clock too high you can just take out the SD card and run at normal speeds till you made corrections to the file.
You MUST know the location of DispOn to use the scripts. You must manually check.
Using your device file manager (activesync), create a shortcut for the .mscr file (rightclick on it and create short-cut). Then just copy the shortcut file to your device Window/Startup directory.
Then just reset and hopefully, you are good to go. One file, Auto OC.
You can use the MSM7 OC app to check the OC, but be sure to exit from it or you will get an error when the phone awakes.
Now for the OC settings.
This script has these settings in them for safety reasons. Not ALL cpus will overclock above the settings in them, but MOST will at least OC to these values.
values set are
start_speed = 37 710
boost_speed = 36 691
safe_speed = 31 604
These are the values that i am currently using... Feel free to change these values to accommodate your device max speeds. Always keep the safe speed at 31!!!! or you will get SOD's
Goodluck!
i hope this helps out my fellow imagio lovers!!! Its like i bought a new device yesterday! This phone is perfect!

Over Clock
Hey,
I live Va also, could I meet you somewhere in Richmond and have to do this to my Imagio?

Just wanted to say, worked like a charm, no problems, took a little googling outside of what is said here, but that is with never messing with my phone, all this takes is a little bit of common sense, thank you very much!

[ROM][GPL] xtrROM5.0.1 odex,cache2cache,apps2sd,jit,lwp,oc[3/29/2011]

Version 5.x of xtrROM builds on the heritage and continues the evolution of this fast reliable feature rich ROM that you as the user can customize to enhance your Droid Eris Android experience! This ROM has a very Vanilla feel but is based on the core HTC framework to offer the best relibility possible in a custom ROM. I am reliant on my phone at work so stability and consistent quality of user experience are the top priorities for xtrROM. If you like the HTC Sense experience then be sure to check out xtrSENSE and if you would like a "pure" Vanilla 2.1 AOSP experience then be sure to try VanillaASOP.

A very Android ASOP Vanilla feel from removing HTC "bloat"; while embracing reliable HTC sync and app coordination
Fully odex to save as much "usable" internal space as possible and provide faster boot times
Over clock support - default to 710400
Many reliable "hacked" tweaks such as: Collin_ph battery tweak, some Flash support, OpenGLES 1.1, new Android Market, wired tether, etc...
Included opensource GScript app allows you to easily turn on/off core ROM settings (CPU OC, Apps2sd, Cache2sd, JIT, etc...) with one-click
Live wallpapers as a separate module you can enable
Full Cache2cache support (see details below) - better use of the /data/ and /cache/ file blocks which opens up unused internal storage allowing you to install close to 100 apps without using Apps2sd!
Apps2sd support (see instructions below)
Customized theme including wallpapers, phone dialer, keyboard, bootanimation, and other small touches...
Lean and very crisp running ROM - it almost "feels" lighter in your hand!

OPTIONS AND CONTROLS:
Stock Battery Icon
If you prefer the stock battery icon over the circle battery then flash the below zip.
Make sure to wipe dalvik-cache AFTER flashing this zip
Stock battary Icon: http://zach.xtr.i6ix.com/xtrStockBattery.zip
Live Wallpapers
Live Wallpapers is a feature you can enable for this ROM. I have included my favorite for you to try and you can get others from the Market. Many of the live wallpapers from the market DO NOT function well on our Eris or do not "stick" after reboot, our hardware is underpowered for most and I also find them to be a battery drain. That said I still run a few at times because they are just COOL !
To enable live wallpaper functionality just run the appropriate GScript.
Android ASOP Keyboard and Themed Dialer
This ROM uses a custom themed Android ASOP keyboard as the default keyboard and I have themed the phone dialer to match. If you prefer the standard HTC style keyboard check out jonasl HTC_IME mod keyboard – source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624416. Or if you would like the stock setup download and flash the below .zip file.
Stock keyboard and dialer: http://zach.xtr.i6ix.com/xtrStockKeys.zip
LOOKS LIKE THIS DOES NOT WORK FOR XTRROM5.0 ONLY OLDER VERSIONS - I'LL UPDATE SOON FOR XTRROM5.0...
Clear HTC Lockscreen
It is my personal favorite and since I make the ROM I get to pick . To update the lockscreen go to the Photos app - select the photo you want - select the Set as option - and then select lockscreen.
To get back to the clear lockscreen just run the set_lockscreen_clear.sh GScript and reboot your phone.
GScript
I have compiled and incorporated the opensource GScript app to load and one-click run user settings.
To setup your GScripts complete the following steps:
1. After opening GScript press the menu button and select "Add script"
2. A new window will open.
3. Press the Load file button
4. Select a script from the list (each is obviously named as to its function)
5. Ensure Needs SU? is checked
6. Now select "Save" and you have added your script
7. To run just select it from the list in the main GScript screen
8. Some scripts may prompt you to reboot the phone for the change to take effect.
There are a lot of scripts but remember your phone has been setup great by default with this ROM and if you do not understand the function or purpose of a GScript then best to not save and run it . One can always search this forum and ask others about all the fun things you can now do with your phone! I will look to add a list of each GScript and its function as time allows...
Wired Tether
For wired tether to work you must make sure that your computer has the appropriate RNDIS drivers. Learn how to do this at the android-wired-tether Wiki.
Per roirraW "edor" ehT:
The wiki incorrectly states, or implies, that Windows 7 includes the RNDIS support. Or at least, they imply that Windows 7 includes the RNDIS driver necessary. I can confirm that neither Windows 7 x86 or x64 works with tethering out of the box. The instructions for XP users are correct and also work for Windows 7. Just download HTCSync for your device (Eris) and install it, and it'll install the correct driver.
Flash Support
A hacked version of Flash 10.1.123 is baked into this ROM however it has proven to be hit and miss and preforms more like a flash "lite"... Full flash sites such as Halo do not work however many others do; they may just take a while as the Eris is not a powerful phone
Performance Improvements:
Free Internal Memory and Dalvik-cache heapsize - I have update default user settings to allow a larger dalvik heapsize of 24mb (think more space for apps to play) AND optimized how memory is freed up using Androids internal task killer.
Default min memory free: “balanced” (1536, 2048, 4096, 10240, 12800, 38400)
Default dalvik vm heapsize: 24m (48m with JIT on)
To change dalvik vm heapsize or min memory free settings you can just run the appropriate GScript.
If you would like to further modify the default min memory free settings then download Autokiller or MinFreeManager, these apps will allow you to set and monitor the min memory free values. For more information on Androids “internal task killer” and min memory free values go here.
default Overclock Settings - the ROMs kernel supports overclocking and as part of the custom sysinit process I have added scripts that automatically set the below CPU clock settings when the phone boots:
Min: 245760
Max: 710400
I have included a few GScripts to change between stock cpu settings and default overclock settings without using a market app . You can also run the report_cpu_freq script from GScript to get a printout of which frequencies and time in each you phone has been operating.
To change CPU overclock settings just run the appropriate GScript.
If you would like to further modify OC settings then download SetCPU or Overclock Widget, these apps will allow you to set and monitor the CPU speed. Remember YOU CAN DAMAGE YOUR CPU IF RUN TO HOT FOR TO LONG with higher settings. MAKE SURE TO RUN THE set_cpu_stock GSCRIPT IF YOU INSTALL A MARKET APP. The internal overclock support may overwrite the market app settings...
JIT - JIT (Just In Time compiler) is a built in option for the ROM but is off by default. For a detailed overview of JIT go here. PLEASE NOTE for Android 2.1 JIT is not stable with all applications and can cause odd things on your phone.
To enable/disable JIT just run the appropriate GScript and reboot your phone.
User Services Power Management (Collin_ph Battery Tweak) - I have built in a user services that runs at a polled interval and can set the performance settings of your phone in realtime. The first script that is available is a 2.1 HTC framework version of the Collin_ph Batter Tweak. For a detailed overview of you can view the original thread at here.
The power management battery tweak is disabled by default but there is a gscript to enable plus you can run "battconf" from terminal on the phone or adb shell to configure... The battery tweak runs a script every 60 (or less if you are on power) to poll the capacity of the battery, and as the battery goes down the cpu max freq is progressively lowered. It also changes the CPU write characteristics (all of which I do not yet fully understand). You can see all the details in the /system/bin/batter_tweak file.
I take no real credit on this and just ported the concept to the HTC framework and HTC kernel (with the zanfur OC patch). This took a lot of work and I fixed a few bugs but the concept is not mine and all Collin_ph.
When you first run terminal remember to type "su" (or equivilent for your app) to run as root and select "1" then enter when first prompted after starting "battconf".
So how do I know it is working? just run the report_log.sh GScript and you will see when it logs a change to the system settings. Also you can run the report_system_settings.sh GScript and for a display of current settings. This process will be faster if you plug into a power source and wait about 60 seconds
To enable/disable the battery tweak just run the appropriate GScript (user_service_batterytweak_enable.sh or user_service_batterytweak_disable.sh) and reboot your phone.
Cache Location (Cache2cache):
By default, the dalvik-cache has been relocated from the internal /data/dalvik-cache/ directory to the internal /cache/dalvik-cache directory. The Eris comes with an internal /cache/ file block of 130mb that is not used! After reviewing a number of xda member file system usage reports (thanks xtrROM and xtrSENSE users!) the MOST reported use of this space was 5%... So by moving the dalvik-cache to this free area you now have over 150mb on internal /data/ for apps and over 75mb in internal /cache/ for dalvik-cache. This means that you can probably install close to 100 apps WITHOUT having to partition and move anything to the SD Card ext!
You can also move the dalvik-cache to your sd card ext or back to the stock internal /data/ file block.
To change the dalvik-cache location just run the appropriate GScript and reboot your phone.
So why does my Settings>SD card & phone storage>Internal phone storage only show 150mb or less? This is because this number ONLY reflects the /data/ file block on your phone and does not "see" the /cache/ block that is now being used for dalvik-cache storage. You can run the GScript report_system_settings script to see amount available in /cache/.
Apps2sd and Cache2sd:
I have revamped my implementation of apps2sd to use simpler and better organized scripts. For apps2sd to work you must first complete the listed prerequisites and it is a good idea to read through the "things you may want to know about apps2sd" section. Although it can provide gobs of space for apps, Apps2sd is not for everyone as it ties the stability of your phone to your SD card... If you do not need the space I would recommend that you keep the default of DISABLED; if you want to try you can always disable it again however there is always the chance of issues.
To enable/disable apps2sd and cache2sd just run the appropriate GScript and reboot your phone.
Prerequisites
If you have not setup your SD card (for those new to Apps2sd) as per tkirton:
BACKUP YOUR SD CARD TO YOUR COMPUTER. Can't stress this enough, as partitioning will wipe the entire card.
Reboot into recovery
In Android System Recovery, select Partition sdcard
In the Partition sdcard menu, select Partition SD
Follow the instructions on the phone to partition your SD card. Most folks seem to recommend using the default values however you can go larger or smaller use values 256, 512,768,1024. You will also be asked to set a swap size; I stayed at 32mb (anticipate future ROM options to allow moving swap to sd)
Once the partition is initially created you must then convert to ext3 - In the Partition sdcard menu, select SD:ext2 to ext3. Follow the instructions on the screen.
Press the back button on the phone to go back to the main menu.
Your SD card is now ready to work with an Apps2sd supported ROM.
Things you may want to know about apps2sd
Bootloop protection is built in if your SD card is corrupted or is removed from the phone with Apps2sd enabled. Your apps will go away but your phone will boot .
There are 3 subsets of data associated to an app when it is installed and run on your phone.
1) /data/app/ (and /data/app-private) - actual .apk files we think of as the applications that are not system apps (i.e. installed on /system/app)
2) /data/data/ - the files produced by ALL apps (system apps and market apps) during installation that are used by the Android system to run the app
3)/data/dalvik-cache/ - app cache file and work space for ALL apps (system apps and market apps).
From root explorer (or similar) you can browse to the /data/app OR the /system/sd/app folders and you will see the same thing, both will tell you how much space you have used and have left. The way apps2sd works is by "linking" the /system/sd/app to the /data/app folder so that the Android system thinks it is accessing the /data/app it is really at /system/sd/app.
I have seen using Apps2sd cause issues with some.zip flash updates as they try to write directly to the /data/app folder which no longer "physically" exists
If you get into a bootloop issue using apps2sd boot into amon_ra recovery and try one of the follow:
1) from the Other menu option select the Fix apk uid mismatches
2) from the Wipe menu option complete a)Wipe data/factory reset b)Wipe Dalvik-cache c)Wipe SD:ext partition
Apps2sd and Cache2sd Basics
When you run the apps2sd or cache2sd script, upon reboot, it will move ALL your existing apps or cache to the sd card ext partition and ALL future apps and cache will be installed and stored on the sd card ext partition.
Running the apps2internal or cache2internal script, upon reboot, it will move ALL your existing apps or cache to the /data block of internal storage and ALL futures apps and cache will be stored in internal storage.
With HTC based ROMs it is all or nothing and you cannot move individual apps like in the CyanogenMod ROMs.
So how do I know Apps2sd is on? - You can run the GScript report_system_stats which will give you a printout of what fileblocks are used as well as a “true/false” value for Apps2sd On. You can also go to menu>Settings>Sd card and phone storage - when on space available under Available storage will go down at a VERY slow rate when new apps are installed.
TO INSTALL:
YOU MUST HAVE A ROOTED PHONE
download the xtrROM .zip file
complete NANDROID backup
copy the .zip file to the root of your sd card
From Wipe data/factory reset, Wipe Dalvik-cache, and Wipe SD:ext partition (folks coming from previous versions may try no wipe updates but a full wipe is always "cleanest")
flash the xtrROM file from sd card
reboot (first boot may take around 10 minutes)
complete short setup and let your accounts sync
you can save and run GScripts to personalize settings at any time
Available Market Apps You May Want to Add:
Widgetsoid - provides the CyanogenMod style customizable power widget that can be put in the notificaton bar
Root Explorer
Launcher Pro
Tips
For an even faster feel turn off window animations under Settings>Sound & Display>Animaiton.
To update the lockscreen goto the Photos app select the photo you want and select the Set as option and then select lockscreen.
Random FC - Lower your overclock settings or turn off JIT. Our little Eris's can only do so much and not all hardware is equal... Also remember this ROM is quite fast in stock form and higher Linpack scores DO NOT make for a better user experience
Google contact sync issus? check out the following fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6796805&postcount=102. I think this is not uncommon coming from 2.2 Froyo ROMs as they seem to sync with Google a little differently and I do not think the folks at HTC or Google built their systems with the thought that users would be jumping back and forth between versions as much as we all do...
Slow facebook sync? per erishasnobattery: log into your facebook account on your computer - Click Account>Application Settings>under Authorized - remove listing for HTC Sense.
To turn on vibration with keypress for the keyboard long hold the ?123 button in the bottom left and select Android keyboard settings>Vibrate on keypress
If you have 50% time without signal under Settings>About Phone>Battery>Cell Standby complete the "airplane trick" by turning Airplane mode on wait just a few seconds and then Airplane mode off (search the forum for "time without a signal")
If you are syncing facebook then you may want to remember to check the "View contacts" for facebook from the People app Menu>View setting
Turn off notifications for Superuser from the Settings tab of the app
Known Issues
Messaging sometimes FC when send and IMMEDIATE rotate from portrait to landscape. The message still sends and the app stays open there is just an annoying FC on the screen...
Flash does not work for some sites, Halo for example.
The keyboard does not have an updateable user dictionary
Verizon NFL does not work with JIT on

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK - settings above 710400 have been reported unstable on some Eris's and YOU CAN DAMAGE YOUR CPU IF RUN TO HOT FOR TO LONG with higher settings.

I've been lurking for quite a while, just recently started posting on xda. Pretty sure I've tried all of the ROMs too.
Just got this one downloaded, about to flash it and see how it goes. Won't have to worry about A2SD with over 140mb of internal memory. Outstanding!

Nice Job
Just got XTR setup and it is very responsive. If battery life is decent then I will definitely use this everyday! Excellent effort and I commend you on your opening page. Very clear and consise!

The widgets are broken apparently. I installed Advance Task Killer and everytime I click on it, it'll vibrate and that's it. OC widget isn't working either. Any ideas?
[EDIT] Oh, reboot was needed. Disregard.

Advanced task killer is not needed. The autokiller app does a much better job. Get rid of atk.

Great running ROM. No troubles yet. Thanks.

I'm running Launcher Pro Beta instead of Sense UI. JIT works GREAT. Getting 5.3mflops @ 806mhz. 5.1mflops @ 768mhz. This thing is FAST!!

I noticed you said this has LWP, so I'm assuming nav wont work then since that seems to be a common them. ie Alyosius

Nav works very well with lwp on this ROM & I use almost daily. the Nav I have included is Googles NOT the HTC version which is where I believe (though I have fully tested) the issues are caused.

[ROM][GPL][3/15/2011] xtrSENSE5.0.1 [cache2cache,apps2sd,oc,jit]-HTC Sense

xtrSENSE has been built as an everyday HTC Sense ROM that is configured for performance and reliability. Version 5.x uses the March 2011 HTC/Verizon code base which is Android 2.1 made specifically for our Eris. This ROM has features such as a simple yet elegant theme to full support of cache2cache, apps2sd, built in overclocking, and built in memory management. For those that frequent the forum I keep a copy of this build in addition to xtrROM (Vanilla feel using the HTC framework) on my phone (plus a few others from other devs ) because sometimes I just feel like the splendor of the HTC launch screen and integrated widgets. If you would like a "pure" Vanilla 2.1 AOSP experience then be sure to try VanillaASOP.

OPTIONS AND CONTROLS:
Default ROM Configuration:
You do not need to run any scripts unless you would like to change the following default configuration:
dalvik.vm.heapsize: 24m
min free memory values: "balanced" (1536,2048,4096,10240,12800,38400)
CPU Overclocked: Min-245760 Max-710400
CPU Governor: Ondemand
Just In Time Compiler (JIT): Off
Cache Location: Cache2cache On
Apps2sd: Off
Userservice and battery tweak: Off
GScript
I have compiled and incorporated the opensource GScript app to load and one-click run user settings.
To setup your GScripts complete the following steps:
1. After opening GScript press the menu button and select "Add script"
2. A new window will open.
3. Press the Load file button
4. Select a script from the list (each is obviously named as to its function)
5. Ensure Needs SU? is checked
6. Now select "Save" and you have added your script
7. To run just select it from the list in the main GScript screen
8. You may be prompted to reboot the phone for the change to take effect.
This new release has a lot of new scripts but remember your phone has been setup great by default with this ROM and if you do not understand the function or purpose of a GScript then best to not save and run it . One can always search this forum and ask others about all the the fun things you can now do with your phone! I will look to add a list of each GScript and its function as time allows...
Wired Tether
For wired tether to work you must make sure that your computer has the appropriate RNDIS drivers. Learn how to do this at the android-wired-tether Wiki.
Per roirraW "edor" ehT:
The wiki incorrectly states, or implies, that Windows 7 includes the RNDIS support. Or at least, they imply that Windows 7 includes the RNDIS driver necessary. I can confirm that neither Windows 7 x86 or x64 works with tethering out of the box. The instructions for XP users are correct and also work for Windows 7. Just download HTCSync for your device (Eris) and install it, and it'll install the correct driver.
Flash Support
A hacked version of Flash 10.1.123 is baked into this ROM however it has proven to be hit and miss and preforms more like a flash "lite"... Full flash sites such as Halo do not work however many others do; they may just take a while as the Eris is not a powerful phone
Performance Improvements:
Free Internal Memory and Dalvik-cache heapsize - I have update default user settings to allow a larger dalvik heapsize of 24mb (think more space for apps to play) AND optimized how memory is freed up using Androids internal task killer.
Default min memory free:”balanced” (1536, 2048, 4096, 10240, 12800, 38400)
Default dalvik vm heapsize: 24m (48m with JIT on)
To change dalvik vm heapsize or min memory free settings you can just run the appropriate GScript.
If you would like to further modify the default min memory free settings then download Autokiller or MinFreeManager, these apps will allow you to set and monitor the min memory free values. For more information on Androids “internal task killer” and min memory free values go here.
Default Overclock Settings - the ROMs kernel supports overclocking and as part of the custom sysinit process I have added scripts that automatically set the below CPU clock settings when the phone boots:
Min: 19200
Max: 710400
I have included a few GScripts to change cpu max and min settings without using a market app . You can also run the report_cpu_freq script from GScript to get a printout of which frequencies and time in each you phone has been operating.
To change CPU overclock settings just run the appropriate GScript.
If you would like to further modify OC settings then download CPUBoost, SetCPU or Overclock Widget, these apps will allow you to set and monitor the CPU speed. Remember YOU CAN DAMAGE YOUR CPU IF RUN TO HOT FOR TO LONG with higher settings.
JIT - JIT (Just In Time compiler) is a built in option for the ROM but is off by default. For a detailed overview of JIT go here. PLEASE NOTE for Android 2.1 JIT is not stable with all applications and can cause odd things on your phone.
To enable/disable JIT just run the appropriate GScript and reboot your phone.
User Services Power Management (Collin_ph Battery Tweak) - I have built in a user services that runs at a polled interval and can set the performance settings of your phone in realtime. The first script that is available is a 2.1 HTC framework version of the Collin_ph Batter Tweak. For a detailed overview of you can view the original thread at here.
The power management battery tweak is disabled by default but there is a gscript to enable plus you can run "battconf" from terminal on the phone or adb shell to configure... The battery tweak runs a script every 60 (or less if you are on power) to poll the capacity of the battery, and as the battery goes down the cpu max freq is progressively lowered. It also changes the CPU write characteristics. You can see all the details in the /system/bin/batter_tweak file.
I take no real credit on this and just ported the concept to the HTC framework and HTC kernel (with the zanfur OC patch). This took a lot of work and I fixed a few bugs but the concept is not mine and all Collin_ph.
When you first run terminal remember to type "su" (or equivilent for your app) to run as root and select "1" then enter when first prompted after starting "battconf".
So how do I know it is working? just run the report_log.sh GScript and you will see when it logs a change to the system settings. Also you can run the report_system_settings.sh GScript and for a display of current settings. This process will be faster if you plug into a power source and wait about 60 seconds
To enable/disable the battery tweak just run the appropriate GScript (user_service_batterytweak_enable.sh or user_service_batterytweak_disable.sh).
Cache Location (Cache2cache):
By default, the dalvik-cache has been relocated from the internal /data/dalvik-cache/ directory to the internal /cache/dalvik-cache directory. The Eris comes with an internal /cache/ file block of 130mb that is not used! After reviewing a number of xda member file system usage reports (thanks xtrROM and xtrSENSE users!) the MOST reported use of this space was 5%... So by moving the dalvik-cache to this free area you now have over 150mb on internal /data/ for apps and over 75mb in internal /cache/ for dalvik-cache. This means that you can probably install close to 75 apps WITHOUT having to partition and move anything to the SD Card ext!
You can also move the dalvik-cache to your sd card ext or back to the stock internal /data/ file block.
So why does my Settings>SD card & phone storage>Internal phone storage only show 150mb or less? This is because this number ONLY reflects the /data/ file block on your phone and does not "see" the /cache/ block that is now being used for dalvik-cache storage. You can run the GScript report_system_settings script to see amount available in /cache/.
Apps2sd and Cache2sd:
I have revamped my implementation of apps2sd to use simpler and better organized scripts. For apps2sd to work you must first complete the listed prerequisites and it is a good idea to read through the "things you may want to know about apps2sd" section. Although it can provide gobs of space for apps, Apps2sd is not for everyone as it ties the stability of your phone to your SD card... If you do not need the space I would recommend that you keep the default of DISABLED; if you want to try you can always disable it again however there is always the chance of issues.
To enable/disable apps2sd and cache2sd just run the appropriate GScript and reboot your phone.
Prerequisites
If you have not setup your SD card (for those new to Apps2sd) as per tkirton:
BACKUP YOUR SD CARD TO YOUR COMPUTER. Can't stress this enough, as partitioning will wipe the entire card.
Reboot into recovery
In Android System Recovery, select Partition sdcard
In the Partition sdcard menu, select Partition SD
Follow the instructions on the phone to partition your SD card. Most folks seem to recommend using the default values however you can go larger or smaller use values 256, 512,768,1024. You will also be asked to set a swap size; I stayed at 32mb (anticipate future ROM options to allow moving swap to sd)
Once the partition is initially created you must then convert to ext3 - In the Partition sdcard menu, select SD:ext2 to ext3. Follow the instructions on the screen.
Press the back button on the phone to go back to the main menu.
Your SD card is now ready to work with an Apps2sd supported ROM.
Things you may want to know about apps2sd
Bootloop protection is built in if your SD card is corrupted or is removed from the phone with Apps2sd enabled. Your apps will go away but your phone will boot .
There are 3 subsets of data associated to an app when it is installed and run on your phone.
1) /data/app/ (and /data/app-private) - actual .apk files we think of as the applications that are not system apps (i.e. installed on /system/app)
2) /data/data/ - the files produced by ALL apps (system apps and market apps) during installation that are used by the Android system to run the app
3)/data/dalvik-cache/ - app cache file and work space for ALL apps (system apps and market apps).
From root explorer (or similar) you can browse to the /data/app OR the /system/sd/app folders and you will see the same thing, both will tell you how much space you have used and have left. The way apps2sd works is by "linking" the /system/sd/app to the /data/app folder so that the Android system thinks it is accessing the /data/app it is really at /system/sd/app.
I have seen using Apps2sd cause issues with some.zip flash updates as they try to write directly to the /data/app folder which no longer "physically" exists
If you get into a bootloop issue using apps2sd boot into amon_ra recovery and try one of the follow:
1) from the Other menu option select the Fix apk uid mismatches
2) from the Wipe menu option complete a)Wipe data/factory reset b)Wipe Dalvik-cache c)Wipe SD:ext partition
Apps2sd and Cache2sd Basics
When you run the apps2sd or cache2sd script, upon reboot, it will move ALL your existing apps or cache to the sd card ext partition and ALL future apps and cache will be installed and stored on the sd card ext partition.
Running the apps2internal or cache2internal script, upon reboot, it will move ALL your existing apps or cache to the /data block of internal storage and ALL futures apps and cache will be stored in internal storage.
With HTC based ROMs it is all or nothing and you cannot move individual apps like in the CyanogenMod ROMs.
So how do I know Apps2sd is on? - You can run the GScript report_system_stats which will give you a printout of what fileblocks are used as well as a “true/false” value for Apps2sd On. You can also go to menu>Settings>Sd card and phone storage - when on space available under Available storage will go down at a VERY slow rate when new apps are installed.
TO INSTALL
YOU MUST HAVE A ROOTED PHONE
download the base xtrSENSE .zip file
complete NANDROID backup
copy the .zip file to the root of your sd card
For best results wipe data/factory reset, wipe Dalvik-cache, and wipe SD:ext partition (folks coming from previous versions may try no wipe updates but a full wipe is always "cleanest")
flash the xtrSENSE file from sd card
reboot - first boot will take a while (i.e. over 10 mins)
complete short setup and let your accounts sync
you can save and run one-click GScripts to personalize core ROM settings at any time
Tips:
Random FC - Lower your overclock settings or turn off JIT. Our little Eris's can only do so much and not all hardware is equal... Also remember this ROM is quite fast in stock form and higher Linpack scores DO NOT make for a better user experience
Slow facebook sync? per erishasnobattery: log into your facebook account on your computer - Click Account>Application Settings>under Authorized - remove listing for HTC Sense.
Google contact sync issus? check out the following fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6796805&postcount=102. I think this is not uncommon coming from 2.2 Froyo ROMs as they seem to sync with Google a little differently and I do not think the folks at HTC or Google built their systems with the thought that users would be jumping back and forth between versions as much as we all do...
To turn on the DroidX or HTC_IME mod keyboard long press in any input feild - select Input Methoud option - and select the desired keyboard
To turn on vibration with keypress for the DroidX Multi-touch keyboard long hold the ?123 button in the bottom left and select Android keyboard settings>Vibrate on keypress
If you are syncing facebook then you may want to remember to check the "View contacts" for facebook from the People app Menu>View setting
Turn off notifications for Superuser from the Settings tab of the app
If you have not already done so, check out the notes and tasks widgets now available from Add HTC widget>Get more HTC widgets. Personally I find these most useful.
Known Issues:
Flash does not always "enable" as reported by users, once "enabled" works okay and you are good to go, once we have a known method to make sure it is triggered on I will post here...
verizon nfl does not work on JIT
xda dev app may have intermittent issues logging in for first time with JIT

4.0.5 [8/16/2010]
This was a complete rebuild of the ROM and includes a lot of new backend features with the new init.d user settings system process; summary of changes:
COMPLETELY rebuilt base ROM - Fixed long setup issues YEAH!
Built from Verizons 2.37.605.4 July release
Uses the Zanfur kernel
Most folks seem to prefer the stock keyboard and dialer so they are back
ALSO have the DroidX Multi-touch keyboard (new theme) for those that prefer it (long press an input field and select Input Mode)
developed a new sysinit process and /system/ent/init.d structure as modeled after Linux servers and CyanogenMod.
- ADVANCED USERS can add parameters to configure the system at startup
- use of the /system/etc/sysctl.conf file
- I have included ones that you can un-comment out (remove the # at the beginning of each line) to experiment with...
- Research and learn BEFORE you try these!
- A good place to start learning is http://http://www.redhat.com/docs/wp/performancetuning/rhel4_vm.pdf.
- You can always clear out all changes by commenting out the values or just deleting all content of the file…
developed a new User Settings process that is executed by init.d and runs all set values located in /system/etc/usersettings/conf/
totally revamped apps2sd implementation to simplify and streamline, still cannot move on the fly like CyanogenMod builds but getting close
improved logging at /data/boot_log.txt (you can move a copy to your sd card for viewing via the new GScript app)
developed shell scripts to manage user settings for apps2sd, cache2sd, and JIT toggles
Incorporated GScript app (see http://code.google.com/p/gscript-android/) to load and one-click run user setting toggles (custom app next!)
added quick boot to make reboots faster
New super user 2.3.1 - seems to solve the lag with granting permissions at times (very sweet! will FC if you look select the new log tab before logs are available) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828
themed the Analog clock widget
new wallpapers - Titanium edition and Great Oak
added new wired tether app that "should" work for Eris

General SWEETNESS
3.1 [7/24/2010]
Focus on the Verizon July patch
Built from July Verizon 2.1 patch 2.37.605.4 code. The best I could find on a fix list is below and I do notice an improvement in the performance of the phone in smoothness. http://androinica.com/2010/07/13/htc-droid-eris-rumored-to-get-ota-update-beginning-on-july-16th/
Included a xtrFlash10.zip to the sd card if you want working Flash - thanks to t2noob, vash8806 and Zenulator.
per request added xtrStockKeys.zip to the sd Card if you want the stock dialer and keyboard.
Added wireless tether and xda apps by default

3.0.3 [7/15/2010]
Initial release
Verizion2.1 HTC Eris code base
Removed a few of the lesser used system apps and unused testing tools loaded by HTC
Fully deodex - makes it easier to "hack" and modify HTC code, takes up more internal phone space however with apps2sd this is no longer important
Zanfur's kernel with full OC support
Internal memory management (you no longer need autokiller as it is built into the ROM)
xtr sysinit process and scripts that include
- Apps2sd support based on the work of Damageless and TrevE @ xda
- jit that works with HTC Sense
- dalvik heapsize management
- first boot script support for /data/firstboot.sh file
- Updatable init.dalvik.conf and init.apps2sd.conf files that can be found in /system/etc/ that can be changed to reconfigure the phone on next reboot (future release will hopefully have an app to do this)
Themed phone dialer
New DroidX keyboard customized and themed for Eris
Custom wallpapers
YouTube high res
many other little improvements that I have probably forgotten
For thoes that prefer tkirton Apps2sd it "should" be compatible with the Darktremor Apps2SD 2.7.5 implemtation (I have not tested). You can always reflash xtrROM3.0.3 to get back to the built in version. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715933

In EvilEris's first page of the thread there is a LiveWallpapers patch, that puts in a rosie that does LWP.
It works great, except that the Rosie graphics are all jacked up.
He stated that he will fix it very soon, based on demand, and that will be flashable on this (or probably any de-odex'd senseui rom).

I'm getting:
linpack scores of 3.3 @768 MHZ, but I don't believe that this rom is seeing my A2sd partition.
Quadrant score of 259

So when will this be back up for download?

Great to hear, I'll rerun the test once i get the fix. It seemed to be light on its feet @768 and stable. Though I prefer XtrRom 3.03 . What can I say, I like stock over Sense.

In instructions below "TO INSTALL", I might suggest you add the step to wipe data and/or dalvik cache.

xtrSENSE3.0.3-fixed.zip is up
xtrSENSE3.0.3-fixed.zip is up.
Enjoy!

Anyone have the MD5?

That was a REALLY thorough write-up on this rom. I learned most of the stuff you wrote about through hours of online research and bootloops (when I did something wrong). I wish I would have flashed this as my first custom rom! I wish all developers would explain their roms this thoroughly....screw it, I'm bookmarking this page for future reference.

A2SD is still not working. Nothing is being saved to my ext3 partition.

where is the downloaded for this file ? also jit ?
sorry .... i am reading and i am somewhat lost and far from a noob ...., on your other rom i see all the flashable modules

Which toggle the one from XtrRom 3.0.3? I didn't see the toggles on this page. I assumed they were set to on.

The reqired files are added to your sd card when you flash the base rom just reboot to recovery and you will see them.
Lol i may have made it too streamlined for those use to xtrROM. Suggestions for better instructions are welcome

[Q] GPS.CONF question to the devs!

Could the devs create a something so we can specifiy our location for the gps.conf
1. in the startup.txt
2. or a script at startup where we only need to fill in X => X.pool.*
3. or I could make a map with ALL countries, for example
- Belgium
---gps.conf
- Germany
---gps.conf
- Estland
---gps.conf
and so on. and then at startup maybe someone can make a file selector, android asks you which file it should use for gps.
is any of these options possible? I guess this would be a great help for much people.
sometimes builds crash, all my apps fail when I startup after editing the gps.conf
other times my gps just gets useless, this is all because the root access is not always as easy to get, and when you have it, there can still be consequenses like appcrash of the system each time on startup.

Thanks For the post I'm having GPS issues also - Flashed 4 NAND Roms Changed GPS.Conf and still not getting Sat Fix on GPS

An easy way I found from another thread is to use FasterFix, an app that lets you select the correct X.pool script line based on your location. No need to go and find the correct folder and edit the script. FasterFix even has a custom feature so that you can create your own script to get more specific a fix to the satellites in the region you are in. No more hunting to edit the script line! Also, for the other poster in the United States, I found that if you add the number and period 0. in front of us.pool.ntp.org script line, so it would look like: 0.us.pool.ntp.org, your phone will lock onto the satellites within 20 seconds (at least for me) from a cold start. Use the custom feature in FasterFix to do this. Doing this and using GPS Status first to obtain the AGPS information, the next GPS lock will be within a second or two. Here is a link to FasterFix, hope this helps.

WM65 (English/German) OS Builder Kitchen + ROMs for Typhoon based on Aleut's WM65 ROM

Final update: (diff from 20120408):
cleaned up some resource files (saving quite some space)
added icons to those which had none
made provxml tracing the same for all
added some small games (these eat the saved space from above)
added an option panel to setup the volume of VoiceTag (from my other kitchen)
made D3Demo an extra package
added the very latest NetCF 3.5 as modules in an own package
added a few more color schemes and backgrounds
patched the keyboard driver to not require a dedicated subdirectory "Keys" in \windows
patched the nk.exe to identify itself as "TYPH100" to allow better skin selection for remote access tools
renamed mtty to the correct name (was mmty.exe)
fixed the welcome.exe for the German Mui to correctly delete the welcome.lnk from autostart at first boot.
removed the _cabs folder form the kitchen. Get it from an older kitchen
Updated 2012 04 08: A new update to the kitchen folder. The older OS Builder stuff is moved to a dedicated subfolder. Now SDHC cards are supported and a later version of USBFN is bundled only with WM5torage (not recommended on Typhoon).
Updated: 2012 01 15: The old batch kitchen is moved to a dedicated folder in the Mediafire share. You find now a much improved OS Builder (see post 3) Kitchen as well as a set of ready-to-use builds to download. I have also updated the list of included programs below.
Here it is finally - another port of the batch kitchen I had once taken from Nitrogen for the Tornado and ported to Hurricane already - the simple kitchen for the Typhoon/Feeler/Amadeus.
The default settings were cooked to a ROM already, so you may want to try that first before you cook yourself (which is very easy, even for noobs).
It is completely localized for German keeping the English from Aleut's original WM65 ROM. He already had published a kitchen for that device here at XDA, however only as a side-note in an existing thread asking for WM65.
I have updated some applications to the last available version, added some OEM packages from the Tornado kitchen and merged some from the Ginza MS100 kitchen - also a device with QQVGA and a WM65 kitchen.
As this device has a limited ROM size of 27MB (x'1b00000), the tweaking of size and available applications was a major activity. All changes done to the original files are left in a separate folder in the kitchen.
The default settings for cooking are containing the following applications:
20MB base package (all options off in OSBuilder), leaving 7MB of additional ingredients to push in, my choice for you:
.NET CF 3.5 already on-board
T9 English and German
WM6.5 Menus (skinned) (selectable in the kitchen, not in builds anymore)
full Media Support:
Arcsoft MMS 3.5.2.15C
HTC Camera (as it always was)
Media Codecs (common filetypes, also midi works as ringtones)
Cyberon Voice Dial
WM-player supports the additional keys for the Amadeus (SDA Music)
More Entertainment:
Kevtris 2.0, a great Tetris clone with nice additional options (sliders, weird blocks etc.) - keeps your joystick busy. (*)
several Bluetooth profiles (updated from S740 aka Rose):
Bluetooth SAP (Sim Access Profile)
Bluetooth FTP Client (HTC BT Explorer)
Bluetooth A2DP included (with settings) but it only works on lowest quality due to HW limitations (removed now)
GPS Intermediate drivers (from WM5&6) including setup program. This allows to share one BT GPS receiver for several applications at the same time.
HTC Comm Manager. This allows to set the Radio really OFF if you have no or no valid SIM Card. After 3 minutes the radio gets back on otherwise even if shut off with MS-wrlsmgr. Once after 3 minutes off-time it stays off even after reboot. [Edit 20120324:] It is not necessary to have HTC CommManager do this - the normal MSWrlsmgr can do the same, provided that you do not leave it with "done" but keep it running for these 3 minutes in background.
Many other tools:
Total Commander 2.5ß3 (*)
WM5torage 1.9 [Edit 20120324:] The usbfn.dll which can handle the WM5torage driver is creating problems with parallel Music Playback and any USB connection (also AS via RNDIS or Serial) It seems that some I/O ports are used the same. You better avoid using that when cooking.
maniac's Autokeylock
MortScript 4.2 (*)
Easter Uninstaller (*)
Oxios Memory
Vito Copy/Paste
FEADIE (managing file extension for Internet Explorer) (*)
Modaco NoData
Clear Type Power Toy (adjust the Gamma for CT)
Mobile Config: an XML based registry tweaker (only in the kitchen)
Caller Location core (vibrate on connect)
Multi Flashlight
Safe Inbox Extender
* (in the non sliding panels build only)
The pagepool used is now 4MB to give a suitable performance (was only 2MB in previous setup - very slow). However you can adjust this with tools included in the kitchen if you want to change it. ROM size and Storage is fixed on the device, so you have 27.97 MB total storage and free are 24.64. Mind that packages you save from the ROM are not giving you gain in storage space, so keep the ROM filled to the 27MB with what you consider useful.
RAM is tight here anyway, best gain is if you don't use the sliding homescreen and disable the Camera Driver.
I have also added some options regarding key definition to the Tweaks settings. This allows to select the keyboard driver for Typhoon/Feeler/Amadeus and also to activate the additional WMP plugin for the Amadeus.
So finally here is the share to get all: http://www.mediafire.com/?3tt15dyp4mbuu
Please hover the mouse over the download links to see their description.
Finally you may want to look at the Beginners Guide for Cooking which you find linked in my signature - this give some insight of what is happening.

Some more info on available memory (RAM) which is really tight on this device. You can roughly save RAM in the following order:
> 2MB: Don't use the sliding panels homescreen. Unfortunately this is the nicest visible sign of WM6.1/6.5 - but if you just use the "Windows Standard" Homescreen there is more than 2MB gain in RAM!
> 1MB: De-activate the Camera driver, all SDA Business users (without camera anyway) should do that!
~ 500kB: De-activate the Date/Time save driver. If you don't mind setting the date/time by hand after battery removal or have the device connected to the PC anyway with AS.
I have not noticed a gain when de-activating the Carkit driver.
For clean conditions when testing, please always reboot the device after changing settings. I noticed that even unchanged settings will not produce identical values after reboot. Tests were done with clean reboot, full initialisation of the Homescreen and then starting Oxios Hibernate.

Nobody seems to care about this old stuff anymore :-(
Mediafire has logged 19 downloads of the built ROM and 15 of the kitchen, but not a single "thanks" in the thread - if you use it, just say thanks for my motivation, please.
Anyway I have migrated the kitchen to OSBuilder which has more tweaking options regarding Kernel parameters and also gives more other control over the build.
Is anyone interested in getting the relevant OS Builder package?
You need to install OSBuilder first and can then start cooking right away after you have the package that I could publish.
In the process of dealing with the very limited amount of RAM especially for the Typhoon I had to reverse on 2 things I did in the past for the sake of squeezing ROM and RAM space. Both have adverse effects to what is initially intended. I had published and discussed this in detail in this thread. So you must avoid the following:
Cutting down the Paging Pool to the bear minimum (so the device still boots). This gets you free RAM, true - but it will cut you off the space in RAM where the code of the programs goes! So a small paging pool will actually prevent that you can run many programs, despite of the free RAM. So it is advisable NOT to cut the paging pool below 4 MB in my experience.
Using UPX to squeeze ROM space. While it works to get more data stuffed to the ROM, the resulting executable will no more be able to utilize the paging pool for its execution. The whole code goes to the free RAM and not just the currently used part in the paging pool. So by saving ROM space (or filesystem space in general) with UPX you are wasting actually RAM a lot!
Because of 2.) above I have reverted to all original packages - so no UPX anywhere in the ROM build or any related package. I had to remove a few things from the default package selection, but nothing that cannot be installed later anyway. Due to non working A2DP I have also removed that again completely.

Another find related to fixing the problem that System Volume gets reset when changing the profiles, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1407883

Kitchen Updated to OS Builder, new example builds included
To those who want to get the fastest and most advanced kitchen and builds available for Typhoon. You can pick from Mediafire:
a 7Z with 4 builds to flash the device with, 2 sorts with either English or German as default language (you can change in the regional settings anyway).
a 7Z with the OS Builder Kitchen setup. Install OS Builder first (See post 3 pointing to the OSB thread), unpack the kitchen to any folder convenient, then double-click on the .osb file to fire up the kitchen.
Cooking is pretty much self-explanatory - in the end you get a OS.BIN file that can be uploaded to the device via MTTY.exe. All tools are included in the kitchen 7Z and can either be used directly from the folder or via the Tools Menu in OSB.
I have added two folders to the kitchen. One for most of the packages in their original distribution files; so if these are not in your build, just in stall them manually. The other to trace the provxml execution - which is something you may never need to do.
For the packages to select, the OSB allows to group packages to switch-groups. One of the important switch groups is the one for .NetCF. This package is the most storage hungry and so there are several ways how to deal with this in the context of the 27MB limit of the ROM:
Include the whole package to ROM: this puts all to the imgfs which is compressed with LZX - and so the total cost is ~2.9MB
Exclude the whole package and gain ROM space for any other stuff to include. You should then also exclude all .NetCF dependant tools or install .NetCF later from a CAB to get them working again. As there is one basic program (the calculator) which depends on .NetCF I have replaced this with the old WM2k3 calc.exe in case you select this package - saving another 120k. So in total you gain 3 MB in the ROM. Mind however that a later installation will eat ~1.2 MB on the FATFS in the device (Program Storage) and another 5 MB on either SD card or again on FATFS - depending on what you choose to install it to.
Include only the files that go to the device mandatory anyway, but not on FATFS when installed later but on the IMGFS, hence compressed and eating only 750k in ROM. The rest of files (the 5MB *.GAC) go then to either FATFS on the device or to the SD card. You can select this in the kitchen when building the ROM. Later you must copy these *.gac files manually to the right place. The package with these files is in the _packages folder of the kitchen.

I have done the final works on that kitchen and will not further do anything to it. You find the updated kitchen in the mediafire share of the first post. Download the file "Typhoon-OSB-kitchen-20120306.7z" there. Recent fixes are:
MMS dialogs use a smaller resource file for 176x220
Kernelflags are set to ...02 now to keep the MMS dialogs readable when you change the folders
CallerLoc is replaced by a dedicated tool (with understandable dialogs) CallVibrate
Sliding Panel background is fixed (was offset on the top-bar)
Some more tools added and instructions how to get back to WM2003 if needed
Mind that the created builds fit for any Typhoon/Feeler/Amadeus as you can switch/reboot the keyboard drivers.
Have fun and give some feedback if you created your own builds.
Candy-bar forever

SDHC on Typhoon (and Hurricane)
Hard to believe - but it is there: SDHC support on the Typhoon
No magic actually but just good luck that the Tornado driver (which is actually one form the StartTrk) for SDHC works as well on the Typhoon and Hurricane (which share the same drivers in their original builds).
You need to re-cook to get this. Related modules are attached, including the advice what to do (just 3 modules and related .rgu entries).
To get SDHC support in a cooked new build for Typhoon and Hurricane, do the following:
1.) remove the 3 modules in the ..-original folder from your OEMDRIVERS folder
2.) remove the entries from the contained original.rgu from the one in your OEMDRIVERS folder
3.) copy the 3 modules from the ..-sdhc folder to your OEMDRIVERS folder
4.) copy the entries from the contained sdhc.rgu to the one in your OEMDRIVERS folder
re-cook and enjoy

I have not done much testing yet, but some obvious checks have worked well.
So if there is anyone out there still owning these oldtimers: time to get them off the drawer and put some fresh fuel in - Typhoon and Hurricane make perfect music players.

Latest updated (the real final one).
Uploaded a new complete Kitchen including SDHC support and new USBFN bundled with WM5torage only (see first post). I do not recommend to use WM5torge with Typhoon - it is too slow anyway, you better get the card out and fill it external from the device with an USB reader.

now the real final one
20121003 Update (since no new posts allowed anymore):
Just to let you know: The SDHC lets the device also read FAT32 formatted SDXC cards (e.g.64 GB). It even reads more than one partition (I have 2 on my Android) and mounts both of them (32k Cluster size used).
Not sure how well the performance will be when managing data there - but reading a large music collection should be ok
So after I sold all my Typhoon devices (except a few you just cannot sell due to their physical state) - the latest small update to the kitchen.
What I have changed (diff from 20120408):
cleaned up some resource files (saving quite some space)
added icons to those which had none
made provxml tracing the same for all
added some small games (these eat the saved space from above)
added an option panel to setup the volume of VoiceTag (from my other kitchen)

renamed mtty to the correct name (was mmty.exe)
fixed the welcome.exe for the German Mui to correctly delete the welcome.lnk from autostart at first boot.
removed the _cabs folder form the kitchen. Get it from an older kitchen

Hi all, just got my O2ZPhone II (Feeler) out of the pile of goodies, would like to use it for my second phone.
The OS on it is still wm2003, trying to go for this WM65 ROM, I found that the SPL is on 1.01.0139 on this phone, which I try to go for the 109 with no luck, and mtty report error in bootloader too...
Anyone any idea on how should I get this WM65 ROM flashed to this great phone?
Thanks.

If the phone is still original, then you have to go all steps which you find in either the kitchen-tools menu or the tools folder directly:
application unlock old OS (SDA Application unlock)
apply Super CID to the phone (lokiwiz.bat, "C")
load new SPL to the phone
create new ROM (get OS Builder from the referenced thread)
upload with mtty.exe
Steps 1-3 need to be done only once per device.
I would not use the old os.bin I had uploaded as the latest kitchen can produce better ones and you have the choice what to put in or out. The default settings deliver a running build (you may want to remove the "German default" though).

thanks tobbbie, for some reason I downloaded the wm61 one, and yes with your great instructions I was able to flash that to the device and now happy using it!
(Will try the kitchen during the weekend)
Great thanks!

[Q] G-Sensor Calibration - Devs/Senior members PLEASE HELP

Hi,
I have TyphooN_CM7_v3.7.0-MAGLDR Android (2.3.7) on NAND since a few months now, no complaints except for one small thing which is a bit irritating. The G-Sensor is a bit off by a few degrees, vertically and horizontally.
There are a couple of posts on the forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803242) and (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=979879) which mention that altering the file AK8973Prms.txt in folder /data/misc should be the remedy. However, I found that the values within the file on my system are completely different, here's what I mean:
AK8973prms.txt on my phone:

HOFFSET.z=-97
ASENSE.x=256
ASENSE.y=256
ASENSE.z=256
AOFFSET.x=0

Hi I have the same problem,The orizontal line (y Axis) is a little bit out of calibration.Don t know if it s an hardware fault cause,2 days after buying my hd2 I putted android on it,but from what I can remember in windows mobile I had not this problem.For almost 1 year I used typhon cyanogenmod rom,in witch i could modify the calibration data from ak8973prms file.
You have to change only the last 3 parameters value
AOFFSET.x=0
AOFFSET.y=0
AOFFSET.z=0
Let the other untouched.For example in mine i had :
[AK8973]
HDOE_STATUS=2
HDOE_SUCTEMP=128
HDAC.x=129
HDAC.y=131
HDAC.z=133
HOFFSET.x=-767
HOFFSET.y=39
HOFFSET.z=-97
ASENSE.x=256
ASENSE.y=256
ASENSE.z=256
AOFFSET.x=10
AOFFSET.y=-20
AOFFSET.z=0
You have then to set the permission to this file to read only in some rom and restart to let the change take effect.
The problem now is:
I passed to dorimanx rom because the no more support from typhon to his great rom.In this rom I can t modify this file,everytime I restart the system the file is restored with default value,even if I change permission.I talked to dorimanx (he is a great developer and give great support to the comunity and users with his rom) and he said that I have this problem cause now the gsensor calibration is kernel related,so the kernel overwrite everytime this file.Sadly he can t change those value in his kernel or else every other user will experience a wrong calibration.
Does any other user notice a wrong calibration issue?Could be even related to an hardware revision wich is not supported completly by the kernel,same as the users wich experience a non working g-sensor under android but wich work under windows mobile.
It would be great to override this problem by developing something to calibrate the gsensor,like in sense rom settings.
Please everyone with a not working or inaccurate gsensor under android,but perfect in windoiws mobile,report the experience here.Maybe with the help of the entire comunity we can solve the problem
I hope you can understand my english

I too am on dorimanx kernel , and my sugestion to you would to use an init.d script to set the values of your text file upon boot . that way its set to your device specific values upon boot every time .

Starting from the dorimanx last 4.4 kernel could you help me editing this file?Have you seen a guide in wich I can learn about this editing process?So maybe i can help some people.My idea is to creat an application wich calibrate the g sensor,like in gps status for expample,but for the whole system not only the application itself.We have an example in sense rom under the settings were you can find g-sensor calibration

Thanks for your reply.
The AOFFSET values are already set to '0' in the original file on my device. So what do I change here?

you have to change the last 3 value and test,restart and test your sensor.I used the google sky map orizontal line.To know the faulty axis i donloaded sensor debug from market,the procedyure is descripted in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7067687&postcount=53
you have to try values,because sensor debug value is only used to see wich axis is uncalibrated.Then you can start with an high value to see if it change something and then fine tweak the whole thing

I'm using an actual level finder here... my sensor is off by approx 6.3 degrees! I'll try a few values and post back here....

This will take a lot of fine tuning... getting there..

Well you could have the application set the values to zero . But I think that wont "calibrate" the g sensor . It would be tough creating an application that would calibrate the g sensor since the g sensor could be different across all devices . A script placed inside the init.d folder should serve its purpose to set the device specific settings . Maybe the app could run through different settings and the user picks the best one for their device .

My idea is an app that read the axis degree with the phone on a flat surface,and set those values as the default 0 value in AK8973Prms.txt.but the problem is the fact that in new roms this calibration is integrated in kernel,and changing value to this file does not work anymore,since the file is resetted every boot.Do you know about any guide to create those scripts to pòut in int.d folder?

that sounds like a good idea , and to counteract the values being reset on boot , have the program make a file in the "init.d" directory with the settings so it resets itself upon boot . for guides just google , i usually take on that already in my init.d folder and edit it to my liking .
but heres some that i found :

you have to change the last 3 value and test,restart and test your sensor.I used the google sky map orizontal line.To know the faulty axis i donloaded sensor debug from market,the procedyure is descripted in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7067687&postcount=53
you have to try values,because sensor debug value is only used to see wich axis is uncalibrated.Then you can start with an high value to see if it change something and then fine tweak the whole thing

Changing the last three values greatly also did not change much, if anything at all. I then changed ALL the values to the ones mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7067687&postcount=53
Now it seems to be ok (+/- 1 degree). I think all are related.

They should not be related...They are the three axis X Y Z.You have to restart for change to take effect everytime.When iI apllied this method I started modifying 1 axis at time.putting at first a big value as 50 or -50 and looking at the change,after many tweaks I found my calibration value

Ok I will try if I can understand something about programming for android.I think it would be even an easy process to create a program like this,but I start from 0

The links are only about script writing to be placed in the init.d folder . To write a full fledged android program you must write in Java .

Guys, I have a nexus s 4g from sprint. The g-sensor either doesn't work or this file is wrong. I'm on gingerbread, and i'm rooted. I have es file explorer installed with all the correct root options enabled. I have ran a search for the AK8973Prms.txt file, but it doesn't seem to be there. However, if i run a search for just "ak" I get other folders such as AK8973, but nothing inside it. Should I create a file and push it to the phone or what? and if so where does the file go on the nexus s 4g?

Hi,
I have recently purchased a Sony Xperia S with Android 2.3.7 (it is still unrooted), though ES explorer does display the root files. (It only displays them).
On the Xperia, there is no misc folder (or AK8973Prms.txt for that matter) in the /data/ folder. So I suppose it could be only a custom ROM file. Is yours a custom ROM or the original?

Setting.apk
Copy Setting.apk from similar phone model that has g-sensor calibration and u will have it too. Setting.apk in System/app folder:victory:
For Chinese MTK6573 based phone search custom rom v3.3 by Bruno Martins and extract the file needed:victory:
