stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Looking for some advice here. Been pretty much switching roms for a month straight trying to find the one that fits all my needs. Plus its fun to flash, its like getting a present everyday . well onto my frustration.
I have a mytouch 3g, so I come to the dream boards cause of the action that this forum gets for 32b's versus the magic forums.
The perfect rom for me would be Super D's latest. My only issue is I want to play 3d games, and nearly all the roms here have the ram hack.
I wonder if there would be enough people that wanted a no ram hack version of his rom, to donate to the cause.
I hope this post gets some attention here, I didnt want to clutter is rom thread for a non bug issue.

The ramhack is in the kernel. You can either build your own kernel without it, or switch out the kernel for one that better suits your needs.

is that hard to do? Can you point me in the direction of where to search for info on switching kernels. I was using king's 2.1 rom and he has a no ram hack kernel, but I soppose it wont work for a 1.6 rom.
sorry for my noobness, I have limited knowlege when it comes to this type of stuff.
Thanks for your reply.

It's all in the boot.img file. Open a rom zip file and you will see the boot.img, that is the kernel.
flash_image boot /sdcard/boot.img (or whatever location and name you give the file) is the command to use. Terminal or adb shell works too.
It would have probably been easier to ask in the rom thread because most developers customize the kernel so a generic might not work as well as the one already in the package.

k. so if I have got this straight.
I notice that the last wes garner 1.6 rom has a no ram hack version. i flashed it and played a 3d game. its works ok for me.
So i can open up his rom, take out his boot image, put it into a zip file, then flash it right after i flash a super d rom?

To an extent yes but as evilkorn mentioned pretty much all devs customize the kernel so it may not run as efficiently or unforeseen consequences may occur then again it could work all fine and dandy. Are 3d games really that unplayable with the ram hack? I play RoboDefense all the time with no probs.

robo playes fine, homerun battle 3d, "which is a awesome game btw" doesnt play on a rom with the 3d hack. I flashed wes garners last 1.6 without the ram hack and it played fine.
I might just stick with this rom for a bit i guess, I really like playing games on my phone.

Flash 10.1 on eris?

I am kind of a noob so please forgive me if this post is in the wrong place, or if there is another post that addresses this.
Are there any roms working for the eris that have a working version of flash 10.1? I would love to be able to watch hulu on my phone.

Not yet that I'm aware.
Your only chance is in a froyo rom, if your running one and it doesn't have it then no.
I believe part of the problem is the flash libraries are written for processors that are newer than the Eris, so until a dev rewrites the libraries to work with a lower processor, which would be difficult, I don't see it happening.
Could be wrong though
BTW just for reference this post should be in the general section

I have heard that because the stock eris rom can run flash lite, it is possible for it to run full flash it is just a matter of fixing the code. xtrSENSE supposedly has working flash 10 as an added flash-able zip file, but it doesn't work. Anyway, I hope someone gets this figured out because it would be awesome. Thanks.

try this. only works with sense based roms tho. no Froyo =(

I have the flash 10.1 apk on my phone idk where I found it but it works ill work on getting a screen shot

Flash 10.1 works on 2.1. It's just a matter of it being able to load in time before server determines it fails..( hence the reason why hulu/fancast dont work)
Look for my posts in the link above, you should be able to get it to work.

There are two releases for the flash 10.1. One for phones running on 2.1 and ones running 2.2. I have the KaosFroyo v39 on my droid eris and tried the flash plugin for 2.2 but it wouldn't install. I downloaded the flash plugin for 2.1 and it installed. I heard the 10.1 plugin for the 2.2 works on the newer droid phones that received the original froyo updates. i can't verify cause i don't own one.
Since I'm new and cannot put links in my post yet, you are going to have to Google them.
Sorry!

Skyfire Browser
I have found that the Skyfire browser app from the market can play flash. If you are using a 2.2 ROM then I suggest installing this app. On a side note I have read the HULU is note making videos available for mobile browsers. Correct me if I am wrong.

you don't read the posts do you? : p
Skyfire will work with 2.1 & 2.2 w/o any problems.
Yes, Hulu blocks mobile devices.
and yes, our ARM v6 process sucks my ****, but we're still here cuz we love our phones.

at least until the iOS4 is a viable option later this month...

The flash "10.1" is set up.for sense roms. You can install on sense 2.1&2.2. The apk is set up ONLY for sense through.

It'll install but crash your browser. Its not going to work because the developers of flash 10.1 for mobile devices never wrote an "instruction set" for our type of processors, ARM v6.

PSX4droid

I cant seem to get any roms to load; when i choose a rom the screen goes blank for a second and then goes back to the rom selection menu. Yes I have tried many many different roms and bios files. and Yes i did have them in the right format. running CM6 test 8. Anybody have any idea what the problem is?

the problem is it is a known fact that psx4droid doesnt work on test 8... try a different rom and try again

I have also tired many different roms same thing happens with all of them.

same here. Only ones I've been able to get "working":
- FF7: runs perfectly
- Tekken3: runs, but very slow
- Metal Gear Solid: boots up the main menu, but nothing after that
- Silent Hill: graphics a lil buggy, stops working after needing to load a new scene

try loading the new leaked 08/01/10 rom, i tried that and it runs fine on mine... eboot pbp roms seem to run a little bit faster than other filetypes.

PSX4DROID is NOT compatible with Cyanogenmod-6 Test builds (This will likely be fix in future builds).
I've installed many different ROMS, the only ones that work is Cyanogenmod-6 Nightly builds.
But I stopped using Cyanogenmod-6 for HTC Incredible since Test#8 and since nightly build 7-28-10.
I love the idea that you can use the Wii remote controller to control the emulators, but in its current state, it's too buggy.
Switching to the leaked froyo (leaked on 8/1/10) is probably best, if you don't care for the option to use the Wii remote controller as a bluetooth device.

Which nightly build worked for you i tried the newest build but still no luck; does the froyo 8-1-10 leak change the radio at all? can i just flash that rom like i would with any other?

Yeah, you'll need to update your radio. Therefore, your Baseband version will be upgraded to 2.05.00.06.11.
Regarding the nightly build, I believe the last one I used was 7-27-10. (From: http://droidfiend.com/roms/htc-incredible/cyanogenmod-6/ OR http://mirror.kanged.net/cm/nightly/inc/)
Did you make sure that your PSX4DROID has a BIOS file?

Yes i have tired four different bios files nothing and tired three different nightly's still nothing; for the most part i have just giving up on trying to make this work because it doesn't.

Since you did not mention anything about keeping Bluetooth controller support, I suggest upgrading to the leaked OTA (Froyo ROM). Which would mean updating your radio...
OR, wait a bit cuz HTC is planning to release the official Froyo update but you gottta be careful with that as it will unroot your phone.

The problem is that we're talking about two different ROMs here. The people that are saying use a different ROM are talking about the build on your phone. PSX4Droid doesn't work with CM6 yet.
Try SkyRaider or the 8/1 Leak.
PSX4Droid works well on the 8-1 leak. You shouldn't run it without updating your radio first, though.
Also, if you use a ZeeMote or an MSI BGP100, you can use a bluetooth remote with an HTC Sense phone. You just only have those two choices. Drivers are available in the market. It's called GamePro.

[Q] How do I install firefox for my xcd35 ?

I've xcd35, and when I was browsing to android market it says firefox isn't available for your device
But I love firefox as a browser and I'm habituated to it.
So, is there a way install firefox browser on my device ?

because its meant for armv7 and our device is not supported.
and its not open source so no way to install it

Actually there is an experimental branch of Firefox for ARM v6.
Unfortunately none of the versions I tired has worked.
Anyway, if you want to start it somewhere, here is link to another forum at here on XDA.

It is armv7 only & that's why it wont work.
But Firefox is open source! There's a guide to getting & compiling the source code here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Fennec/Android
You would need to modify the source to make it compile properly for arm v6, those modifications might not be easy.
There is a note on their site about armv6 https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android#ARMv6_.28experimental.29
Sorry, the experimental ARMv6 builds are no longer available. They contained bugs that caused them to crash immediately, so they were no longer useful for testing. (bug 697205 is filed on getting these builds working again.)
While we'd like Firefox to run on as many phones as possible, we are focusing first on devices that can run current versions of Firefox with acceptable performance. As we improve Firefox's speed and memory use, it might become possible for us to support ARMv6 phones in the future, but we are not actively working on it now.

The bug report gives more information: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=697205
There are a few alignment bugs that need fixing, armv7 automatically fixes bad alignment, armv6 crashes.

ok
BTW, how do I know if my mobile is armv7 or 6 ?
I could find a place in my mobile where it says it's version number..

ARMv6 or ARMv7 is not your phones version number!
Your XCD35 has been built around the Qualcomm MSM7227 SoC (SystemOnChip). It contains a processing core (the main core) developed by ARM. This core is based on an architecture, named ARMv6.

Okay got it..
Thanks for helping me out.. I would have surfed more and more to find a way to install and finally I came to knew that it is not possible..

[RK3188/3066/2918] Custom Firmware Tool for Windows

Longtime lurker. But its time to contribute! I recently bought a TimingPower RK3188 and searched high and low for these tools. After endless hours of searching and translating Chinese and Japanese I brought this little package together to build your own CFW. This probably isn't for complete newbies but I made it as simple as possible. I can confirm it works on my TimingPower RK3188 using Rockchip Batch Tool as well as copying update.img to SD. Anyway, enjoy!
This is what it does:
Extract update.img as well as system.img
Pre-root your firmware
Open system folder to edit your rom
Repack update.img
I cant post links so previews are a no no I guess. Let me know how it works. If this is the wrong section I apologize.

Thanks !!
Would like to bring to your attention (as you seem the only Chef so far) :

Hope you can help contribute to the thread, and possibly have the first full solution, root, CWM, CFW, custom ROM

uhhh not sure what to say. i do it in my very rare spare time. i can take requests. i made my personal rom as small as possible. basically all i kept was a browser, google play and a media player. oh and flash player. everything else i just installed from google play

I bought 2 of these

I am quite happy with them. However, some notes are in order. I received them with firmware 20130715 installed, and that does not support 1080p. The timingpower.com website offers 2 updated images for it, one 20131101, the other 20131104. The 20131101 image has some improvements over the 20130715 version, but still offers only 720p, but the 20131104 version does offer 1080p. I updated both units to the 1104 version, and it went smoothly, but it can be a bit unstable at times. The screen and sound cut out at random intervals, but I got used to that, even thought it is quite annoying. Overall the picture is amazing (i use it on a 65" flat screen). Speed is acceptable, not a gaming computer, but fast enough. Takes a bit to get used to using it, keep wanting to right-click stuff for options, and get dumped back a screen.
Suggest that you get a USB 2 hub (more ports are better). I connected a USB keyboard, USB mouse and USB camera (all cheap, nothing fancy), and they all worked fine. However, the tiny Bluetooth keyboard (IS11-BT05) that I got, doesn't seem to work. It pairs up just fine, and shows as recognized, but after that, nothing.
One caution note: if you do flash your device, make sure that you use a newer computer, with USB 2.0 , really old PC's with USB 1.1 will not work.
Making your own version of the ROM shouldn't be too difficult. Plenty of advise here, and there are even some tools available on the TimingPower site. I'm in the middle of customizing mine, and I have not found it particularly difficult. I mainly want to scrap some of the basic stuff, and make it more sleek (to my tastes). I am also considering incorporating a dual-boot option, for Android <-> Linus (not sure of what flavor yet).
BTW, I have an English translated version of the Chinese RKBatchTool Manual, should anyone need it.

thanks!
