Cyanogen Mod RC1 - Leo build by Zego WITH ADOBE FLASH and 3G WORKING
There is a new nice build called CM6-HTCLEO (Cyanogen Mod RC1 - Zeto)
It needs a lot of prep work to get to good working order, then its really good.
I have also managed to get adobe flash working. (It doesn't work out of the box)
This build
(after all the steps) have gps, camera (with proper flash exposure), camcorder, camera flash/led/torch, adobe flash, nice look and most other goodies available.
Here are the steps
1) Download cm6-htcleo.7z from:
http://www.mediafire.com/?kzo7fxi2hp917s8
2) Download phone button (keypad) fix:
http://www.mediafire.com/?qrs4w0kd470keqm
3) Download MTU fix from:
http://www.mediafire.com/?tqggvgrzb79gm24
or
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JL368N3N
4) Download Cotulla 23 July nospeed zimage from:
http://cotulla.pp.ru/leo/Android/Cotulla_zImage_CABDET_NOSPEEDDY.rar
5) Extract the cm6-htcleo.7z file and put the cm6-htcleo to your sd card root.
6) Extract the cm6-htcleo_keypadfix.7z file and put the FOLDER NAMED root UNDER cm6-htcleo folder in your sd card. (Not to sd card root folder. I really mean a folder named root. You will see it in the archive)
7) Extract the cm6-htcleo-datafix.zip file and put the FOLDER NAMED root UNDER cm6-htcleo folder in your sd card. Just merge them. (Say yes when windows asks) Credit: ElBartoME
8) Extract Cotulla_zImage_CABDET_NOSPEEDDY.rar
and put zimage file to cm6-htcleo folder and overwrite.
credit: cotulla
9) ONLY DO THIS STEP IF YOU CANNOT BOOT (linux complaining about mmcblk0): Open startup.txt with notepad and
replace the line
set cmdline "rel_path=cm6-htcleo"
with:
set cmdline "rel_path=cm6-htcleo loop_partition=mmcblk0"
credit: dusty_nz
10) Run clrcad and haret as usual but from cm6-htcleo folder. Once Android has booted start terminal app.
11) write
su
and press enter. It will ask for superuser permission. Tap allow.
12) write
mount -o rw,remount /system
and press enter. You should not get any response or error.
13) Now launch ES File Manager and tap \ on top left.
Navigate to /system/app and find
com.adobe.flashplayer apk file and delete it.
14) Power off your phone in a normal way and reboot to Android CM6.
15) Go to Market and install Adobe Flash 10.1 Beta 3 (use your gmail account)
Done!
Notes:
-FIRST BOOT WILL TAKE A LOT OF TIME! BE PATIENT. IT WILL TAKE A LOT LONGER THAN YOUR USUAL BUILDS.
-ADOBE FLASH does not work out of the box. You have to reinstall it but since it was cooked in to the rom as system app and you can't uninstall it, you need to mount /system directory read/write and delete flash so you can install it again. This time it works properly.
-You may not be able to boot if you do not edit the startup.txt
-You may not be able to wake up if you do not replace the zimage with the older 23 july one. You can use 25 july panel on off zimage if you CAN wake up from sleep. It depends on hd2 lcd panel type which is more than one.
Optional: Install Launcher Pro and make it default home screen to get a smoother experience.
After ALL these operations, this seems like the most functional build.
Cyanogen is normally a mod for android and someone named zego turned it into a hd2/leo build. A lot of stuff was missing and there was no central infromation. That was what I did. You don't need to read 6 pages to get this build working this good now.
I recommend disabling live wallpaper. Static wallpapers are faster. Formatting sd card beforehand and using a class 6 sdhc card is also recommended.
I don't have time to package all this stuff into a build. Maybe someone who does above steps can package it in a new single file and put to megaupload/mediafire (mskip/Mark?) For now you have to do it yourself. You will like the end result.
Packagers please don't call yourselves devs and give credit to original hard working people. Donation is also recommended.
I am sorry if I forgot to give credit to anyone.
I got all this information by reading all the pages of this thread and some more. Now you don't have to.

From makavelitha
Good
+ Successfully booted on the first try
+ Camcorder is finally working with the original HTC app (i hope someone will port this to the other android builds)
+ Flashlight is finally working with the original HTC Flashlight App
+ No SOD or GSOD with cotullas zImage 25.07 (maybe i have a Sharp Panel?)
Bad / Problems
- Bad Performance (especially at scrolling)
- Can't Download anything from the Market, i get always the message that my Storage Card is full, i've checked it and android shows me 0mb left on my SD Card, but i have more than 4GB free on this Card (it was working in all other Android Builds)
- Needs time to boot-up
- No or Bad Battery Management (already optimized in other Android Builds)
- USB Storage not working (already working in other Androids)
- Bluetooth finds other devices but can not be paired
- Compass works but it doesn't show magnetic north.
- Low volume issue is already known. During a call other party hears echo of his own sound when speaker is on. No echo in normal mode.
Performance Tweaks
Update I:
Using Cotulla zImage 7/25/10 makes a huge difference in speed!
The only thing still sluggish is scrolling through the apps....
Otherwise from that this is a very good build. Nice pre installed apps, good out-of-the-box build.
Update II:
Changing the application drawer to "Horizontal" like on the Galaxy S eliminates scrolling speed issues when scrolling through the apps.

perhaps the one based on RC2 will be better, where have you find the links for this build ?

I can't get this to boot.
Initrd keeps looking to mount /mnt/sdcard against /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 and falling over. I only have the one FAT32 partition on my sdcard which normally is at /dev/block/mmcblk0.
Also should I be extract the .tar.gz file into the CM6 directory or put it up at the root of the sdcard.
Thanks.

Yeah I agree guys, can you please be a bit more specific about what is additional from other froyo with/witout sense or Eclair?
readme file does ntoe give much in fact.... A couple of screen shots would be fantastic...;-)
general statement: Donate, so all mods/chefs/devs can eventually pay some flowers or perfums or sex toys to their girls friends (all of them so angry that they spend so much time developing stuf !!!)

Well.... more info on what cyanogenMod is on:

Thank you, but there is no mention of build for our HTC HD2
Who is the maker of this build for HD2 ?

the build is done by Zego from the IRC channel compiled from source of CyanogenMod 6.0.0 release candidate 1
I tried it last night and it gives me SOD repeatedly, it's fast, but the SOD is killing me, I am falling back to Darkstone's FroyoV1

Hmmmm
Not booting for me.
Formatted a SD card. Single Fat32 partition.
Extracted zip to \cm6-htcleo\startup.txt etc.
Changed the Startup.txt to
set cmdline "rel_path=cm6-htcleo loop_partition=mmcblk0"
error
/init: line 88: mmcblk0=mmcblk0: not found
Logical sector size is zero
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0 on mnt/sdcard failed: invalid argument

took out the set cmdline "rel_path=cm6-htcleo loop_partition=mmcblk0" ands its booting further. Got wizard

I for one am excited for this development. The collaboration from the devs here along with cyanogens work is fantastic. Any chance of getting cyanogen directly involved and/or once a build is completed would an official thread on this be desired?
I am not a coder but I'm working on it. Until then I'm just a fan and a donor. I've been a long term user of cyanogens work and I can safely say with the joint efforts of everyone here, this would be a powerful development. Keep up t the awesome work!

Changing Froyo Boot Animation to Stock Galaxy S Help

All,
I followed the below instructions to change the Boot Animation on my Vibrant, but have run into a problem. I see the Galaxy S logo swirling, but i also see ANDROID flashing in every frame.
I even deleted the bootanimation.zip but stil i see the same thing. I have attached my inti.rc file so tat maybe someone can see if i missed something? Please help if you can!
Changing Boot Animation:
1. Stock Android is Default!
2. If you wish to Change to Nexus boot or something else.. place the .zip into /system/media/bootanimation.zip
3. Changing Back to Stock Vibrant Boot Screen Do the Following.
3.1. Adb pull /system/init.rc
3.2 Find bootanimation & change to the Following.
#service bootanim /system/bin/bootanimation
# user graphics
# group graphics
# disabled
# oneshot
3.3 Next you need to Push samsungboot.qmp & samsungbootloop.qmp into /system/media
4. Push the edited init.rc back to /system/init.rc
5. All Done, Enjoy!

I have also run into the same problem, but with a different method for changing the boot animation. When I go into change it by replacing the boot animation files in system/media, i get the same result. I also get the same result when I use one of the older flashable zip files. Does anyone know what we're missing? I didn't have this problem until recently so was something changed? I've tried it with several roms with the same results including but not limited to Onyx 5 beta, as well as froyo jk6 no bloat.

Anyone? I also want to know

You cwn get boot animations app and choose from like 100 of them..I use the android peeing on the apple!
Sent from my T-Mobile Galaxy Tab

I tried the boot animation app as well and it essentially replaced the flashing 'android' instead so something has got to have changed somewhere because it changed something else...

I would also like to know this. I actually happened to like the bootup screen for the i9000 that I had on J16.

That's because it all depends on the kernel you guys are using and what the init script for the ROM calls for.
If you searched you would also find out that bootanimations are changed in most kernel's under /data/local instead of /system/media

Still no luck.. any other ideas??

[Q] Can some one please help me?

Can Someone please help me, I know this can't or haven't just been happening to me. Now I downloaded all roms thats suppose to be be able to be used with magldr so I can dual boot with Wp7. I have DL.DesireZ.v2.1.SD and this works when I boot it with magldr also copeNwarren 020211 works and Motoman's Mytouch4g works. Now when I try to boot DL.DesireZ.v3.4.final.SD and MDJ HD 4.6 with magldr it gets past the boot screen but once it starts to load and everything it freezes at the lock screen everytime i boot them and im not understanding why. Espeically when DL.DesireZ.v3.4.final.SD is just an update from DL.DesireZ.v2.1.SD. So can someone tell me why they are freezing before i even get to set them up. Thank You

What directory you are using for Dezire Z? Version 2.1 can use any directory, but 3.4 and higer can work only in Desire_DL directory. Also try to use clean data.img with new version of Desire.Z

If you want boot DesireZ 3.4 from Android directory, put in this directory only 3 files: startup.txt zImage & initrd.gz
In Desire_DL directory you must put conig.txt system.ext2 & data.img

thanks for responding. but im not sure what you mean. I leave the desire_dl 3.4 in the desire_dl folder and just place it on the root of the sd card like it says and then go to magldr and boot it. but it just always freezes before i get to setup it up. It runs when i go to haret from Winmo6.5 but when i run it in magldr it freezes at that lock screen before i get to set it up.

[Almost Solved] Fix for broken volume buttons?

I tried to fix my HD2. I had one smashed, and one bricked. I took the mainboard from the smashed, and the bricked started. It had WM6,5, so i desided to install Android (NAND).
I installed MAGLDR 1.13, but then i realized that I had cut the volume ribbon
I have tried to copy some SD version to root of SD card, and it starts booting, but the reboots.
American Android doesnt reboot, but I only get the logo, and after a few minutes, i get "flying" androids....
On this I have change the startup.txt from rel_path=Android to rel_path=
Is there any "zimage" files i can put on SD card, that will save my HD2?

I also get HTC Dream Composite ADB Interface when connected to my computer.

I can get the boot log, but i dont know if that will help..
It gest stuck at:
I/TelephonyRegistry( 291): notifyServiceState: 3 home null null null Unknown CSS not supported -1 -1RoamInd: -1DefRoamInd: -1EmergOnly: false

Maybe the first thing to try is to not mess around with the startup texts and seeing if a fresh install on a formatted sd could give you something when you don't change anything.

What about the other volume ribbon, from the smashed HD2? is it gone as well?
if you are editing your startup.txt try putting this one:
Code:
set mtype 2524
set ramaddr 0x11800000
set ramsize 0x1e400000
set initrd_offset 0x00a00000
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "rel_path=Android nand_boot=0"
boot

The other volume ribbon is also broken
I can try editing startup.txt.
I have also tried to reboot the phone with adb reboot-bootloader, but the phone reboots normally. I was hoping it would boot into multicolored screen..

I have tried without changing anything. If i keep files in \Android, it will not start at all. I have even tride to copy everything to root and \Android. But nothing works

I have ordered a flex ribbon from ebay, but i will continue to try to boot my phone without it. Seems like I'm not the onlye one that messed up my phone

Still trying to find a fix for my HTC (Just 4 fun, and maybe it can help other if i find a solution)
Correct me if i'm wrong:
Magldr is default loading zimage from SD card.. Isn't it possible to make a "basic software" that can be copyed to SD that will allow flashing WM or Android?
When adding som SD builds, i can access phone with ADB. I can run adb logcat, adb bugreport and adb reboot. (why wont adb reboot-bootloader work)
What is wrong when it's not booting Androis from SD. (It freezes or reboots, when trying different builds) Is it because i have to put the files on root and not in \Android? Does flashing put someting i NAND? I cant seem to figure it out....
(Sorry for my bad english...)

I now have a phone that works!
Follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10636526&postcount=30
NB: Copy files to root of SD. Not to Andoid folder.
It's a bit slow... but it's working!

Well... It's not okay after all. If i Reboot the phone, it wont start.... any idea?

[Q] Why don't custom boot animations work for me on nightly 150?

I had no problem changing out the bootanimation.zip on cm 7.0.3 for custom ones, but now I'm on nightly 150 and any time I try to change it, I just get a small shiny blue "android" logo instead of my custom one. I've tried placing the bootanimation.zip in /system/media and /data/local and all I get is the small "android" logo boot animation. I can replace the original zip and I get the standard cyan android on skateboard with rotating arrow, no problem.
It simply refuses to use custom ones though (ones which worked fine on 7.0.3). Any clues as to why? Thanks.

I use boot animation through Root Tools app and they work fine from Phiremod era since now.
Unleashed from Nook Color on Cm7 Nightly 162 @1.200Mhz

Thank you! It FC's after it downloads the animations, but it does set the new one succesfully. Awesome.

Just to follow up, Root Tools was on default setting to place bootanims in /data/local. It only FC'd a couple of times and no FC after that.
I tried again the manual method of placing my bootanim in /data/local using File Expert and it still doesn't work.
RT only seems to have a set selection of bootanims and I really wanted my own unique one so I renamed my desired one as bootanimation_backup.zip, dropped it in the rootools folder on sd card, then restored it using root tools. Thats the only way I could get my own ones to work.
Cheers.
