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.

Has anyone tried this?
Would it work?
Looks like it has heaps of Qualcomm optimized components

any changelog of this mod/port ?

Readme:
http://pastebin.com/BBf1hr50

on this build flash doesn't work for me in the browser.

I am running it at this moment, it boots correctly until android froyo wizard.
It runs correctly for a minute and SOD
Ah it wake up, great
For the first time in the leo android world, the camera works
I give you more feedback later ...
Update:
- GPS works perfert
- Reboot not work, like other builds
- Import contact from SD not works
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 !!!)

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

Yes. I had the same with Dan's Froyo v.1 but Darkstones works a treat. Changed the apn's to voda uk and all that.

booted first time - took a while but OK
Loaded with apps
camera working
Video recorder working
GPS working
man it's fast..........
will test further and report back

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!

[Script] AutoInstall new camera [Hastarin 8.5.1 + new cam libs]

Mods: If you think this should go in general section feel free to move it, thanks.
I built a script that will install the new camera (nexus based), it will replace all necessary files to get the camera working as well as hastarins 8.5.1 modules (to get wifi working and all) and finally liblights and libhtc_ril_wrapper (might be overkill, but it works)
Instructions: Unzip CamScript folder to SD Card (anywhere is fine) and then as su (adb shell or terminal emulator, anything you use to run bash scripts is ok) run cam_install.sh
Note: It will replace zImage in either /sdcard/HD2ONE or /sdcard/Android; it will not work if you have a kernel in a folder different to those so edit your startup.txt file if necessary.
Credit goes to hastarin for the kernel and camera files
-OCM
V1.5: Everything should work now, i've tested on stock HD2ONE_Latest. Backup versions of all modified files are saved in /data/cam_backups.

Good job
Sent from my HTC HD2

Thanks for the script,
Noticed that in the Replace_Libs function you copy liboemcamera.so to libcamera.so.old overwriting the other libcamera.so.old!!
I'm guessing you don't want to do that??
I've just tried this on my JDMS 1.5 that already had Hastarin8.5.1 old camera and my Andorid wouldn't reboot.
Anyone got any tips on troubleshooting non-restarting phones??
I've got the HTC splashscreen and I can adb into the phone but from there on I'm a bit lost.

Same problem here...i've tried your script on the HD2ONE 0.3.3 Rc2 version. I've followed all the instructions and now im stuck on the green HTC logo.....Can you please tell me how to Manually apply this script because i think it doesnt work properly....thanks

I don't think this fix is going to work with build that is based on cm6 .1 rc2 because it gets boot loops on the htc screen. I will still give this fix a try and report back....
Edit
Tried it and it did not work for me, black screen on the camera...

Really thanks, anyway tomorrow (now its late night here) i'm going to reinstall the latest HD2ONE build and then applying your script again (still if you told me how to manually add all the stuff it would be better for me)

Uploaded the fixed version, worked on stock HD2ONE_Latest, so it *should* work on other builds but i cant guarantee this. If you're stuck on boot screen you can try running this new script and see if it works, if it doesnt replace system.ext2 with stock from your build then run the script. Sorry about the initial errors...

So, I used your 1.5 script and this time managed to reboot back into Android.
Everything seemed fine except that my camera still had a green tinge when used with the flash.
THEN I realised that I still had the root directory in the Android folder. So assumed/guessed that the libs were being oerwritten by those in the root folder.
So I renamed root to root_old, re-ran your script, rebooted.
Hung like a mule!!
Restoed original JDMS 1.5 system.ext2, rebooted fine.
Except now my accounts don't sync, my camera takes a picture then hangs
I will get it all back thanks to Titanium Backup
--
Looking at your script it's what I've always been doing to install new Kernels. The green tinge was there when I first tried Hasatrin 8.5.1
The only thing that you do different is include a build.prop file (which is wildly different from mine BTW).
So, my question, is it something in the build.prop that is stopping the grren tinge? If so, what??
TIA

as far as i know, this new lib file in CM or MIUI build make camcorder freeze..does it? or does it not?

I have a weird problem: when i'm in terminal emulator, then su (#), but when i try to type run cam_install.sh it says....run: not found......i think it doesnt recognize the run command..is it possibile??
Is there a way to avoid using this script and SIMPLY manually put all the needed files in the correct directories??
Thanks in advance!!!
P.S. I'm doing that in a HD2ONE stock unmodified latest build...

Try
Code:
./cam_install.sh
there is no 'run' command in linux. Programs are executable and are run by just typing their name.
Of course the file has to be chmod'd to be executable too, but the ./ gets around that mostly.

It didn't work with HD2ONE-0.3.3.RC2
Just stuched in HTC welcome page

Since everyone is having such a hard time getting it to work here are the manual instructions:
Replace your current kernel with hastarins 8.5.1
Replace Camera.apk in /system/app
Replace libcamera.so, liboemcamera.so, libOmxCore.so, libOmxVdec.so, libOmxVidEnc.so in /system/lib
Optional but recommended: replace lights.qsd8k.so in /system/lib/hw and rename or remove /system/lib/hw/lights.htcleo.so also replace libhtc_ril_wrapper.so in /system/lib
replace bcm4329.ko, tun.ko and cifs.ko in /system/lib/modules
place 99complete in /system/etc/init.d and chmod it to 755 (important!)
replace build.prop to fix green tint (I got it from the green tint fix thread and just replaced some lines to match CM6)
reboot
Also, i said these libs were nexus based so if your build is desire based it simply wont work

[solved] Bootanimations- Change impossible in ۵.ReflexTSenseHD v1.7 DHD

Hello:
i tried to change my Bootanimation but with no Luck.
1. i tried to make a "theme" via Online Kitchen; got a file (about 6mb) flashed it via Recovery but Botscreen stayed at white "HTC-Briliant"
2. i tried to manualy delete the bootaniamtion.zip at /data/app/local with androidmate (free)--> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10041079&highlight=bootanimation#post10041079
3. i tried to make my own update.zip ( http://www.londatiga.net/it/how-to-create-android-update-zip-package/)
script:
Code:
show_progress 0.1 0
copy_dir PACKAGE:data\app\local data\app\local:
show_progress 0.1 10
4. tried to change the bootimage.zip in NEO's Reflext.Rom by deleting all unneccesary stuf and changing the bootanimation-zip
--> got stuck after Recovery so i had to reflash the whole ROM..
--------------------------------------------
why i'm not able to change this bootanimation ?
can someone provide me a funktional Update-zip for this ROM
(or a HowTo for doing it myself?)
i would like to test these Bootimages:

PLEASE Help
EDIT: i also tried via
Terminal Emulator
- Connect your phone to your computer via USB
- Copy the downloaded file to your sdcard
- Disconnect phone from computer
- Open Terminal Emulator on your phone and enter the code below (press enter after every line)
su
cp /sdcard/480x800_AndroidGlow1.zip /data/local/bootanimation.zip
reboot

EDIT:

Try putting it into /system/customize/resource
thats where the bootanimation (and the boot sound..) was located on my desire rom.

tried this but:
1: i found no "resource" folder under /system/customize..
2. after creating this folder and copying bootanimation.zip nothing happens
it seems like NEO put it on a special place in his ROM so i cant't figure out..

Test this route: /system/etc/customer/bootanimation.zip ;-)

System/sd/app/local remplace the bootanimation.zip and reboot.

It worked !!
Thanks ASIER
the System/sd/app/local .. did the trick
why does neo uses this folder-structure.. weird ..
(and also thx to raa_ for his help)

does it make sense if i say, i don't have a /system/sd/app/local folder??? the sd part is nowhere to be found
any idea?
edit. found it on my Desire it was under /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
cheers

i think it depends on the ROM you are using!
i use the ReflextSense 1.7 from NEophyte.360
that uses the "unusual" path as postet before.
"normal" Sense ore SenseHD Roms are using different locations as you found out..
it is sad that there's not a standard-path for all roms !

are you sure youre on the system-"partition" ?
i first set the System to Read/Write in SPareparts and afterwards used ESData explorer (in the program you have to enable ROOT funktions..)
--> menu/settingsroot options --> mount filesystem
------
click on the button on the very left (sd-icon) and it should change into a "house"
the path should be a "/"
afterwards choose SYSTEM/SD/APP/Local
in this folder there should be bootanimation.zip, downanimation.zip, shutdown.zip and "placeholder"
hope it helps

I cant find my bootanimation.zip anywhere,Im using insertcoin 1.8f(trying to update to 1.8h with no luck )

this Thread describes Changing BOOTANIMATION in ReflextSense (1.7)
i think insertCoin uses an different Folder for Bootanimation.zip than this rom.
you could try one of these options:
get shure you hav read/write acces to your Root.. (as i described in de Posting before..)
search the "insert coin" thread for Bootanimation.zip
ask in the Thread about the neccesary "Path"
try to download a "change bootanimation" zip from online kitchen or from the forum..
apply the zip via Recovery and if it works !! ... open the zip and analyse the script file (which Path it uses..)
i hope it helps..

XOOM Honeycomb Boot Animation [PORT]

Hey guys.. if you like the new boot animation from Motorola XOOM, i've sort of ported it to Milestone/DROID
in fact i just modded the desc.txt resolution settings.. but it seem working pretty well
so, here you go
if you don't know how to deal with bootanimations, feel free to ask
EDIT: use sileshn's version.. this is actually portrait mode animation, not fullscreen

do i just flash this in clockwork mod recovery?
i tried, i have cm7
and it didnt take (cm7 boot screen still showing)

Landscape mode
The same bootanimation in landscape mode.

much better if you add preview here

Just use rootexplorer to replace your existing bootanimation.zip. It should either be in /system/media or /data/local. If there is no bootanimation.zip in either directories, just place the downloaded file to /data/local.
edit : Just checked. In CM7, the bootanimation file is in /system/media.

Better option, download the attached zip file, inside there is a mp4 file, make in run in your media player with automatic repeat.
Edit: looks much better on phone than the preview.

well... landscape animation look better for me....

Landscape mode
Aarght.. sorry guys, i thougt it'd be already in landscape. i actually tried playing it in terminal only and that somehow happened to be in landscape..probably 'cause i had my hw keyboard open
so, feel free to use sileshn's version

Hello.
I can't replace the files in /system/media...
To do this i need adb)
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App

hi... what tools that i need to make or edit bootanimation.zip...?
coz i realize there one picture in landscape animation hv wrong rotation..?
thx..

unzip the contents. The file is the part0 directory. Correct the image using any image editor and rezip it ( including desc.txt ), dont use any compression ( very important ).

you have to remount the /system partition as read/write in order to be able to rewrite the old one..
you can do it in Terminal Emulator..this will to the trick:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system

nice boot animations

can have it in Live Wallpaper

I really like that honeycomb animation.
Very cool.
The only issue I would have is that it would be hard to tell if you are getting a boot loop or if it's just taking a long time to boot.
I attached one that I made which includes an "intro" to the honeycomb animation - the milestone bios/boot animation that I'm sure most of you have seen.
Edit: See post 18 below for an updated version.

you have to remount the /system partition as read/write in order to be able to rewrite the old one..
you can do it in Terminal Emulator..this will to the trick:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system

If his method doesn't work, try this..
I've done a few boot animations this way.. put the bootanimation.zip on the root of your SD card (make sure it's named bootanimation.zip if you're using windows, just right click the file and "Rename". don't put .zip at the end, Windows does that for you. Not sure about Macs..), and go into Terminal Emulator (you can download one from the Market for free) and type the following, hitting enter after each line:
su
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
reboot
note that when you hit enter after the 2nd line, it may take a few secons before you get the # sign again. once you see it, type reboot and enter. and you're all set!

should i rename file to work it ?

Yeah it has to be named bootanimation.zip
I always give downloaded animations descriptive names so I can tell what it is just by looking at it.
Usually, I make a copy, rename the copy, and install that.
btw I noticed a stray frame that caused a stutter so I redid it.
I also noticed that the animation was too slow at 10 fps so I sped it up a bit....
It was 10 fps because that's what the original bios animation was set at.
I bumped it up to 20.

thanks friend

very beautiful.

[BOOTANIMATION] AlchemyDroid v1.0

Hi chaps ,
Here's a little bootanimation i was working on for the Desire.
Here's a preview :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fOI0HOMtak
Caution : You flash this at your own risk! I take no responsibility what happens to your phone! (99.9% it will work )
Note : This has only been tested on the Htc Desire | Samsung Galaxy S | ZTE Blade it is meant for 480x800px (and above) phones...but i think it will work on small resoultion phones as well
* How to instal * (rooted phones!)
1. Download the file (obviously)
2. Put the file on to your SD card
3. Use Root Explorer ( market Link ) or any other phone explorer that allows you to manipulate your rom files.
3. Navigate to where your existing bootanimation is (on Sense it's usually /data/local/ on AOSP it's /system/media)
4. And replace it (overwrite it) Don't forget to make a backup of your current Bootanim.
5. Reboot
* ADB method *
1. Connect your phone with the pc via USB cable and turn on USB debbuging
2. Put the file into your /tools folder where you installed your AndroidSDK)
3. Open CMD (command prompt)
4. Type :
Code:
cd location of your /tools folder (in example) cd c:\androidsdk\tools
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local ([B][U]for SENSE roms)[/U][/B]
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media [B][U](for AOSP roms)[/U][/B]
* Recovery *
1. Put file on your SDcard (no subfolders)
2. Boot into recovery
3. Flash the zip file
4. Reboot
Downlaods :
Code:
* (22.jan) all dll likns are dead,i will re-up then within the week,as well as v1.5
* You can still download it via http://uot.dakra.lt/ :)
If you have any suggestions and/or ideas /etc feel free the post them (no pm's plz)

cheers
@Ttalk.

Great work, thank you. Works fine.

Just tried it on my desire, very nicely done. Thanks !

Hey.
Using it on my Desire.
Really nice!
If you change the looping sequence so that you see no interruption when starting the loop sequence again it will be perfect.
In the splash screen thread is a perfect splash for the animation btw.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

I don't get it, I followed the instructions but when I type in "adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/" it comes up with a message saying "adb is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file".
Someone help...please?
Desire, CM7, 3(UK)

Do you have ADB setup on you pc? see this thread > http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/
or http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/
Or just flash it through the Recovery,it's easier.

Looks really cool!

Nice, Thanks!
