Droid has been rooted!

I know. This is the hero forum. But if anyone has a droid or knows someone with one maybe we can get a dump?

Forgot to, post the link
Http://alldroid.org/viewtopic.php?f=210&t=567

awesome! i'd expect you goons to have vanilla 2.0 ready for the mass sprint crowd by tomorrow right? lol isn't a dump all we'd need? pardon for my ignorance but what changes would be made to be compatible to the cdma hero?

Excellent! Now we just need a full rom dump (not just the /system folder which is all that's available right now).

I could use those apk's to build a "fuller" AOSP... that is assuming data can be made to work.

Thats what I'm hoping for. So please everyone who has access to a droif, root it and get a dump for us. Please

I was excited for droid users to find out it had been rooted. Now I am really excited because I didn't even think of the benefits it would bring to us!

Sweet. Post back here if they provide it please. I can only watch so many forums. heh.

So let me get this straight, a full dump from the Droid will help us get 2.0? If so AWESOME! I have a friend who has one, I'm sure he'll be rooting tonight I can get a dump tomorrow if you don't get one sooner.

It's more of a theory than anything. But if we can get their rom booting on our phone then we have a much better chance of getting things working rather than the gsm version we've been hacking up to try and work.
If anyone has access to a rooted droid then let me know. Although it will be much better once they have access to nandroid because pulling these files while the phone is booted up doesn't always work.

I don't think that's true.. our kernel/drivers are way different than theirs.. we will be about the exact same point that we are now, and there are full rips out of the droid now on alldroid.org

I agree but it's a lot easier to make a trackball work, to make leds work, and to make wifi work rather than trying to make it work on a radio that it wasn't designed for.
The image that the guy posted on alldroid is corrupted. It won't unyaffs. And based on the file size I would say it's just a system dump anyways.
Thanks to whitewidow I was able to get my hands on the boot.img by copying it off of /dev/mtd. The build went smoothly however it reboots instantly after the HTC logo. It is never recognized by the debugger. So this is either caused by corruption from how we obtained the boot.img, or the architecture / processor are just too different to work on ours at all. I am not the type that can build kernels from scratch though so maybe someone out there better than me will get it soon.

I'm pretty sure stuff compiled for the OMAP arch. Droid is not going to work in our Qualcomm arch. Heroes. I tried using "chat-ril" executable from Droid on my Hero and that doesn't work at all. OMAP and MSM have their own kernel trees as well, so their kernel probably won't boot on the Hero.

It's OMAP alright.
You wont get any of the normal binaries to run.
You can however grab some apks from it.
There is a dump out already btw, has been for almost a month now.

There has been a system dump yes but we are talking about a full dump including the boot.img file.

Boot image contains nothing useful for our purposes.
If you absolutely have to have the boot image someone posted it over on alldroid.org.

is it possible to get the new lockscreen from newly updated droid as verizon has spreaded 2.01 update for droid? cheers

Link to other ROMs for Advent Vega Tablet

Guys,
Looks like the folks at the Modaco Advent Vega tablet forum are also using the VeganTab version of the ROM for our Gtablets. Would any of the ROMs on their rom download page also work on our Gtablets?
Here is the link: http://android.modaco.com/content/a...6486/advent-vega-rom-software-updates-guides/
Anyone know if any of these Vega roms would work on the gtablet without modifications? Looks like they're also using the Vegan rom that the developers here made for the Gtablet.

I just tried Big Ideas ROM in our Gpad...It works but its all in chinese, have to set language to english and wifi is broken. Other than that everything seems to be fine. Had to build a boot.img though coz the included boot.img wont work.
UPDATE:
Figured out how to change language from Chinese to ENglish and did a wifi patch. Everything is functional so far. Will do further testing and might release Big Ideas ROM for our GPAD. BTW, its pretty snappy

This Big Ideas Rom dont even need a market fix.

Have been using the the Big-ideas variations since 1202 on my Zpad. Have had no issues with wifi, lag and market. What I did was NVFlash Big Ideas ROM then made a GAPPS update with update.script to delete all Chinese apps then pushed the Google apps. This has been working out quite well.
I guess what Rothnic proposed about using Big-ideas as a base then add Vegan stuffs is heading in the right direction.

Rom 1.06.05 (VEGA) is the base foundation for VEGAn beta 4/5, FYI. A lot of this is intermingled.
I do like that link, as they seem to update it frequently.

I love the file explorer in Big Ideas rom. Does anyone know what app that is?

I LOVE BIG IDEAS ROM!!! I'm building a Vanilla version and might upload it tomorrow after testing it

I'm confused... I thought that ZPad 3.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853310) already *was* essentially the vanilla version of the Big Ideas ROM, with the Chinese language stuff stripped out.

Thanks my understanding, as well.

[IDEA][DEVSWANTED] Custom Aria ROM

Okay, so being a proud Aria owner I like to modify it make it looks as sexy as I can ;D
I've been watching the Inspire 4G forums lately and have been seeing a slew of ROMS pop up. Now, not saying I want a huge amount but maybe an awesome custom one.
That's where my idea comes in. I want to make a Custom ROM based off of SENSE DDX FR008.
Now, I know some of what to do....so I need help.
This will probably be an idea for a long time unless I get some help.
NOW THIS IS AN IDEA. DON'T COME STOMPING ALL ON MY STUFF.
I reside in the freenode IRC chat a lot.
Check my signature for a link.
I'm brswattt. Nice to meet you. Just PM me or talk to me in chat.
Added as of 3/17 :
-GO DEV Launcher, SMS, Contacts, and Weather
-Bootanimation
-removed the Rosie.apk and HTC Sense Widgets
In progress
-Adding Reboot, Recovery, and bootloader power menu.

Any way to get this ported or something like this?

That is a beauty!

If you can put the cm6 features into it that would be sick. I like cm6 's customization ie. Status bar color options. And also love the transparent pull down from that gingerbread add on. What would you take from the sense rom?
Banging cm7-night's 14

@brswattt, definately worth a custom ROM/Theme. i have been thinking the same thing, maybe some sort of Hybrid based on another phone such as Droid.
tilt4life2 point out a kick-a$$ ROM. love the lockscreen
im slowly learning app creation, and as time allows im looking into system changes. for me i would like a custom ROM which allows the user to re-assign any key function for custom actions(keymapping)... there's probably a program somewhere that does this already
Like THIS one
good luck bro, if i stumble accross any cool things we can add to a custom build i'll keep you in mind.

Thanks for the support guys! I'll look into it when I get home.

I'll look into all of this into more depth when I get back this weekend from a fishing trip.

The system.img (at least) won't dump with unyaffs. This is usually caused by incorrectly copying it from the partition with dd.

The marvel_dump.zip has the /system image already expanded. The system.img in the original file has a blocksize of 2048, so you have to use a parameter to get unyaffs to extract it.

[ROM] RusMod 1.19

RusMod 1.19.
Added:
CBW kernel and some build.prop changes.
This is mod for russian users(was so.. unitl now)
Now i wish to give it to you.
About it:
Well, i can copy page from Khal's rom and say - it all there.
If we get something here, that gets to RusMod.
It's fully stock(i hope so, cause we have so many changes... =))
How to install it:
If your rom based on Dexter rom than there is a chance that you will only need
wipe cache and dalvik-cache.
If not - you should wipe all data.
After restoring rom from nandroid apply patch, because russian version of settings.apk and phone.apk have some changes for russian users.
Well, that's all.. i think =)
Credits:
Dexter

And everyone else who make people happy =)
Links:
RusMod 1.19
RmEnPatch
BTW: i recommend to use software from Go Dev Team like Go Launcher Ex, Go SmS Pro and e.t.c. It really good and opensource =)

Much appreciated... will try out shortly
Btw, is there gingerbread theme for this ROM? If so, where can I get it? Thx

Nope, gingerbread theme not there.
After framework upgrade in RM 1.16 themes are in reworking.

Okay install success... gonna test out for a bit and see how it is. Btw you have lightXt pre-installed over this: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.coreaaosi.afroid&feature=search_result which has more features, better look and a widget... (and doesn't require root)
Also, I switched language to English but there's something in my notification bar as ongoing but I have no idea what it is. That's in russian and it has an American flag next to it in the status bar and clicking on it takes me to some settings that's also Russian... any idea what that is?

As long as the framework-res folder structure matches Moize7Ae's MM patch it should work. You could also try ZipThemer.

RM uses Mioze7Ae's MM patch so it should work =)
Afaik there is some program with name metamorth.. it's changes phone theme...

Metamorph works "live" on the phone & when it themes framework-res it will reboot the phone & with owq's morph I think you have to run through MM a second time to get the white clock color. ZipThemer takes the morph & builds an update.zip (& an undo.zip for when things go wrong). So you create the update.zip (I use HTC Edify Generic update script setting) make sure it is in the openrecovery/updates folder, boot into OC & apply the update.

Hello fjfalcon,

Will it increase free RAM, rom space, snappiness ? Any disadvantages over the stock roms? Is the haptic feedback as strong as the original stock rom?

Is pretty much everything from KK2 compatible with KK4?
I am thinking many of the mods already done can just be transferred just like they could from KJ3 to KK2.
