Android 2.1 stock in update.zip format

Hi All,
I have tried looking in the dev section (please dont flame me lol) but I can't seem to find it. Can anyone tell me if there is a standard GSM 2.1 that I can load onto my hero in update.zip format. I dont mind about having root, but I want to keep the recovery image so I can install custom roms again at a later stage.
Anyone care to point me in the right direction, or tell me im retarded and I cant do this???
Thanks

I did a one before which worked perfect then I took it down because I got people complaining so I redid it... which did not work so perfect so I left it to others.

Thanks andrewb84uk,
That all seems to be working great! Pretty good linpack score too even with standard clock speed.
One other question, do you know what the latest radio version is and where I can get it?
I am running 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 that i downloaded from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559622 however that page hasn't been updated since March so I was wondering if there is a newer one that people are using?

Most people will be using 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.14.zip. As above the ROM is brilliant so if you choose to play with ROMS you can check that one out.

Done! now people can download version 1.0

do we need wake on volume keys? it seems to me it's already in there stock. oh wait that's because i have no lock installed. yeah, if you install no lock volume keys will wake

yes that is true if you have the lock installed then the volume keys will wake.

and if you try this using the hktw methhod over the new beta 3.. you will get bootloop...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
According to ^ maledyris' thread, it will cause a bootloop on this build

I it is very possible to cause boot loops because things changed from 2.3.4 HKTW.
You can try apply updates made to HKTW but before that wipe everything (data, dalvik caches, etc) from CWM recovery.If you apply those updates even if it works you will do a kind of downgrade. So I don't advise.

I took the new files from the rom and modified them to avoid putting back an old "apk", "prop", "so", "jar" or other kind of system files.

will this work with the beta 5 ?
and would you be able to script it so it's similar to the script for the wake on volume keys? where you can individually choose which mods are installed?
because i know personally, i would like some of these, but not others

I was on the motorola forums and I heard someone from Moto saying the hardware can easily handle the 1080p compression but the software is no where near optimized enough. Still too choppy IMO. I wonder if they will get it working right.
Thanks for this quick little zip file though, makes life a lot easier.

Can someone provide a mirror to the files?
Thanks.

Does this work on the default AT&T 2.3.4 stock rom

You have not linked to Kenneth Penns' 4.5.91 beta #3 (Now beta 4.5). That's the stock version of 4.5.91 which everyone is having brick problems with.
Also, is that the same 1080p hack which was posted a while back and gives 24fps with the file size smaller than 720p @ 30fps? Please include the stats for the 1080p. A GSpot screenshot will show all the information required to show a comparison between 720p and 1080p recordings.
<edit> Just so people know, not a soft brick with the stock 4.5.91, but a HARD BRICK. Read Kenneth Penns' 4.5.91 thread. That is how he bricked his phone. Attempts to flash back to 4.1.83 from this stock build will most likely brick your phone. Note that the title in the thread linked is labeled as [DEVS ONLY].

Shouldnt this be in the dev section so everyone can see this it does contains mods so etheir themes or dev??

Does the 2g/3g/auto thing actually work? It hasn't worked in the past...
Also, what if I want these updates but NOT the wake on volume keypress?

I will make a version having the base 4.5.91 Beta 5 and I will also make available individual mods so people can choose what to install but only tomorrow because I started my job at the company and my time is a little bit limited right now.

Dorian's RedPill ROM **V4**

Hey just thought I would post this, since I hadn't seen ANYONE post a link to this. I had to hunt and hunt for the download link, cause when I googled Redpill all I could come across was the v3 beta. But there is a NEW release, just released a few days ago. Check it out. http://api.viglink.com/api/click?format=go&drKey=1711&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.atrixforums.com%2Fforum%2Fmotorola-atrix-roms%2F3282-rom-redpill-beta-v3-7-23-a-90.html%23post60301&v=1&libid=1315101821878&out=http%3A%2F%2Fjwhite.macleod-web.net%2Fresources%2FDorian's%2520RedPill%2520Beta%25204.zip&ref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.atrixforums.com%2Fforum%2Fsearch.php%3Fsearchid%3D437451&title=-%20ROM%20-%20RedPill%20Beta%20-%20v3%20-%207%2F23%20-%20Page%2090&txt=-%20V4%20Download%20Here%20-&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13151018284333

Sweet. Do you happen to know if theres a changelog? Its been over a month since v3 so I'm going to assume there have been some big changes.

+1 i looked on the atrixforums and he has not updated his post at all

thanks for the post but it would be nice if you could link the page where you got this from so that we could see the change log...otherwise this isnt verymuch use to most of us since we don't know if the rom we are all currently using is "better" if you will than this version of redpill...cheers

Shows RedPill beta 3 under build number. Looks nice though....haven't tried RedPill before because it didn't seem the dev was updating or involved as much as the other devs.

Broken link?

This is a renamed zip as far as the modification dates within the zips say and also according to posts above >__>

Although it says v3 in the build, it is actually v4, he's been very busy and hasn't posted a change log as of yet. He's also working on a service pack that will change a few things on the current build (v4)

Can anyone comment on how stable this ROM is in comparison to Aura, Alien or CM7??

I used v3 as a base for a customised rom and it was great. It still may be my favorite.

Very stable, I have not had any issues at all with this ROM, Dorian did a great job.
Probably the most stable of the ROM's I've tried, which is all of them practically.

FIRST OFF I'M SORRY guys lol I was tired when I posted it and forgot some details---first off this is version 4 of Dorian's Red Pill, even tho it says version 3 in the info after you install the ROM. It comes with the stock kernel and is very stable. Everything works to my knowledge, and it comes slightly themed. Here's a link to where he posted it ----it's about 3/4 of the way down the page---http://www.atrixforums.com/forum/motorola-atrix-roms/3282-rom-redpill-beta-v3-7-23-a-90.html#post60301
I've used the first 3 versions and LOVE IT. I get great battery life and a snappy response. check it out =D

Edit: nevermind, found the altered files, including -
BlurCamera.apk
BlurDialer.apk
DeskClock.apk
SystemUI.apk
Talk.apk
Blur-res.apk
framework-res.apk

....uhh....Dude this is a 4th version. Go to the link I just linked above, Dorian is the one who POSTED the 4th version up. Not someone else. And he IS the dev. Not sure why yer so mad, we aren't the first to flash this. Others have already started flashing v4, and it IS different than v3. Read the replies and on the next page you can see some more.
edit: good. glad you caught that. =D

see my edit, I re-MD5d and caught the edited files, not sure why it came back 100% the same the first time, just been seeing reposts of other dev's work lately (well, for years) and I wanted to make sure

NP , yeh I'm sure everyone else was a little confused why he didn't update his main page as well. ALSO, for all those who flash this---just an fyi you can skip the blur setup by choosing GoLauncher instead of setup when the options first come up on your first bootup. The reason I mention this is cause there is no option built into the ROM to skip the blur setup, so this lets you do that. Then just freeze Accounts after yer done doing whatever account stuff you wanna do and adding your google account. Or don't freeze it, I just did cause i'm a freezeaholic.

FIX FOR THE NO HOME/SEARCH BUTTONS:
I found it in this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1027994
What I did to fix my button problem, was:
Code:
1. Cleared defaults for my launcher, so upon reboot it would give me the choice to go to the motoblur setup I oh-so-hate again.
2. When the setup launched, I pressed the key combo (?123 - ALT - ABC - e - ?123 - ALT - ABC - e - b - l - u - r - o - f - f - ENTER/RETURN)
3. If the code didn't work, try again and hit return this time ;-)
4. The setup should now fc and you should never see it again =]
Enjoy =]

Htc update through Zune seems to have installed the newest radio, 1.53.00.06.14_23.17w.05.13U, and so far all seems well.Did have a heart stopping moment during second reboot of update when rebooted from HTC splash screen beforecompletely booting but fully booted the second time. If there is any info or testing needed let me know and thanks again!!!

...EH?! You got Zune update to work?! [I so gotta test that]... (you should get your post count up to 10 so you can post in dev forums ^^;; I thought no one had tired the rom yet cause its a holiday weekend).
*edit* Huh, what do you know. All of my previous test failed so I gave up on it.. perhaps because the drivers are already mostly ported (meaning, the update processes doesn't have to install all of them, just "HTC_NKDrivers" and "OEM_8x50_NK_SPARK_W," its working fine now? I managed to make HTC_NKDrivers boot on my newest build, leaving only OEM_8x50_NK_SPARK_W unported from 8107 in my current release? Perhaps leaving it be for now is best, so the radio can be updated? All the really important drivers (especially the gfx drivers) where already ported in the beta 1a rom, so it isn't anything noticeable.
If I would have left those graphics drivers alone, everyone would have noticed them (cause the 8107 graphics and system XIP drivers make a huge difference in the smoothness of the experience).

What's this "holiday" you speak of? :silly: I've been waiting for this rom, GREAT WORK!!! Thought I seemed to be the first to test and when Zune updated I almost pm'd ya. Totally unexpected and I thought it was something to get excited about. Pain in the a** I couldn't reply in your original post but I'd like to think of myself as somewhat intelligent and well spoken and didn't wanna babble all over the forum just to up my count, which as of this reply, I think is up to 7. By the way, I had flashed back to nodo and updated through Zune but some of the Tango features, namely export to sim and static ip, seemed to be missing. So downgraded again and flashed ansar's Tango which I had used before and could never update through Zune or cab sender. However when checking for updates Zune now showed 2 HTC updates for ansar's rom whereas before I swear it was just 1. Still couldn't update but thought you might find it interesting???
Anyways, thanks again for your work and wish I had some funds for ya but ya always have a willing tester. Here's to XEVREV, xda and the freedom to do as we please with our devices...CHEERS!!!

Still playing around with this and thought you would like to know that the programming codes, ##778# etc., are fully functional. Or maybe that was intentional?

ICS AOKP ROM for the u8800

This is an AOKP ROM for the u8800. It is ported from Huawei Honor B977 4.0.3. I'd like to know if anyone else has tried this and what they think. It's a chinese rom from the anzhi forums (original thread)
I flashed this ROM just now ( thanks fjsferreira for the mirror), this is my feedback:
- Fast, smooth (on par with Aurora).
- Wifi, mobile data, bluetooth, and the like work.
- No gapps, Play Store, camera, browser...(you pretty much have to install everything yourself).
- No strip unicode in the Mms.apk.
- Popup notification support in the Mms.apk.
- Cool AOKP tweaks (naturally...).
- No theme-chooser (meaning you'll have to stick with the mix of Touchwiz 5, ICS and lots of tranparency that is the UI).
- Long pressing the Home key doesn't show the multi-tasking interface and doesn't take you to the Homescreen.
- The SEARCH key is set to turn off the screen (to revert it to its normal function (searching!), check this post).
- I'll add more feedback information as more people try it and report.

Make sure the system folder fits in your system partition. I think you need to chacge the partitions in order to flash this, but I'm not sure. Our phone's default system partition is 210 mb

Has anyone tried it? Or have mirror?
I would love to give a try, but download time shows me 18 hours...

I have tried the previous ver actually..... Partition is a must, otherwise phone wont pass Huawei logo. Its ported from Huawei Honor ...every thing works well but Home key does not work..... But be aware some time it happens that you cant return to stock partition and you wont be able to Flash official 2.3 or Froyo ROM back.

Actually this version is much smaller (109MB) than the previous (180MB), so it may not need re-partitioning. It has a ".UP" suffix so maybe it is an update flashable only and you need the previous installed, but I can't know since I cannot download it. It just goes soooooo slowwww....

If you guys use something to stabilize the download, like free download manager, speed is always above 800 KB/s (I've just finished my download, took less than 3mins)
http://i.imgur.com/5kkae.jpg
EDIT: anyway, here it is
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B4ZMZwAV0MEaVUUzMjRDM2JyXzg
(I didn't try this ROM yet, and probably won't, Aurora is completely stable for me right now)

Well, just went ahead and tried the ROM. From my 10 minutes playing with it, everything seems to work, wifi, mobile data, bluetooth and camera (camera isn't included by default, you have to install one).
Also, no market by default, you have to manually edit the zip file and include the market apk in it.
Sadly I had to uninstall it after 10 mins because, and I'm seeing this more and more, the dev completely screwed up the UI... it's simply horrible, it's not default AOKP at all... He made a complete mess with icons from samsung, an horrible background in every app, horrible popups and menus, etc... I didn't like that at all. I didn't even took the time to create screenshots, I'm sorry, because it was burning my eyes...
There are some stuff completely in chinese, in the ROM control area of the settings, but overall, you can choose any language that Android includes. Note, while the theme of the UI isn't AOKP, the ROM itself is, with the usual settings AOKP provides,
Performance wise, I saw no difference than with aurora...
