Thanks mssmison for your hard work.
Welcome new Rom.
WOW, thank you so much mssmison, we really appreciate it .
Can't wait for the new build from Rogers.
Oh, by 100% working, do you mean bluetooth?!!?
Thank you!

I'll post it to you guys.. If you want right now I can release a rogers build with exchange support where googletalk and market don't work. Should I?

Yes, that would be awesome! Pl release...
screen rotate has problem when using the Camera + Left button key. It doesn't rotate back to portrait mode. Yes I had the latest build.
Great work! Could you check to see if viewing youtube in high quality mode work for you? Thanks.

Nice work!
Just a question, not that it matters much. The default clock on the home screen is a certain size (small), but if you add a new one via widgets menu, it's a huge clock. Is it suppose to be like that, or is this just a minot detail to be worked out later?
It seems I am an idiot. I can't figure out what Extended Drawer is actually doing.. :\

I'm always up for testing new versions, though it might be less stressful to hold off and release a fixed version (as much as I hate waiting).
If you do decide to release a version that doesn't have everything working, you might want to note that in the file name.
Example: mssmison_rogers_system_(MARKET_NOT_WORKING).img
That way there is no excuse for ridiculous whining and complaining.
I'm quite happy you came back mssmison. I'm also glad that you noted you were taking off some tonight so I didn't sit up all night anxiously awaiting the new great release.
Would it be a simple deal of switching the system files to download an app from market and then switch back, or is it more than just the system file and would you have to delete widgets to go back and forth? If I just had to change out system files to get a market app no problem, or find the .apk to download and install it.
Does that mean flash and the differen't profiles to choose for your screens and perspectives? Maybe a list of what it does have working would be easier, or just figure it out ourselves when it's released. I'm quite excited
Thanks for all your work
First I'd like to thank you for all your hard work and dedication. I haved used many build's before yours and all are good to their own part. I am having trouble with Android the last couple of days, I cannot receive calls but am able to call out. Any Idea what may be the problem. I was using vilords build and had this same problem, tried yours to see if it could be fixed. Thank you again and good luck with your future builds, I will be looking forward to testing them.
hey just wanted to give a heads up not sure if anyone else is experiencing this but the calendar will not load for me everytime i try to load it the app crashes.

Unfortunatly no, the rogers builds only work with data.img that are created by them. The builds are quite different.

Try a fresh data file. If it still does it report back with the logcat data.

One suggestion, since it is new thread for the benefit of a new users it would be nice if you could have links in your first post like....

Wanna say thanks to mssmison for his build working great. And i would love a link to Regers to test it out. Plz and thanks
Sounds like big things are happening! Nice job mssmison! I can't wait to try out the Rogers build!
i'd like to test the hero if you need. i've wanted to see the sense ui for a long time. i keep checking to see if you posted it yet. i'm excited. can you install programs from the .apk's?
Umm, im using your new build and just for fun, i tried marketplace...it seems to work for me, I downloaded shopsavvy and successfully installed it.
I however, used my old data file.
Maybe I'm lucky

DO NOT INSTALL THIS UPDATE IF YOU NEED ROOT IN A FUTURE!
Why???!
I am one of those crazy ones who does not care about root. I did it once, and removed it. Call me crazy.
Installing now ...
PS what I mean, most people on this board would know this, and will have read your other posts about the subject.
On top, I am sure some genius will hack this one also and we can root it. It will just take a while longer.

Oh I tell you, I was crazy once... didn't care about the root. Just wanted Android 2.1. I wanted it now. But then, in a moment of enlightenment, I listened to shadow_fi. And when HTC announced that there will be no further updates past 2.1 to Hero (at least CDMA, but I guess it applies to every other Hero), it was obvious that we shall not go down that evil OTA path... and so I flashed VillainROM 10.3.2 and hence my Hero will live happily ever after.
Just spoke with HTC Support and they said Orange and 3 OTA is delayed but by how much they would not say

That is becoming less and less likely with more people moving to other devices, if you flash this 2.1 chances are you will never be able to try new things like a froyo release
There is already a thread ** Official 2.1 UK UPDATE Thread ** .
Keep posts in the same area regards to this update then everyone can find it.

You really should have looked it up but...
Basically, the Samsung Vibrant runs Android 2.1
Froyo is Android 2.2
There are many new features in Android 2.2, including a flash player, so yes, you want it, no you don't need it.

Yes, I coud have but forums like this can explain these things better and if a rooted phone with galaxysrooter can just simply update when this thing comes out. Thank you for your time.
Just a bit offtopic but i want to know if the default browser in 2.2 has tab?
Or it is only faster than that of 2.1
I tried most of the browser and find that the default is the best, however it is missing tab browsing

So, you'd rather make somebody here do research and type up a dissertation for you when you could spend a minute to look up a much better explanation that's already been typed up? Is your time more valuable than that of others, or what?
are you this incompetent in "real life" as well?
seriously Timco - the suggestion for using the search function was the best response you could get, followed by the old adage "google.com".
it's better to teach you a lesson than give you an answer

Fixed Rom On Your phOne.
So basically if you get it, your phone becomes locked to their stuff.
Timco, timco
It will help you in life if you are curious That said, the next thing is doing the research ........ that is what YOU need to do...... with Google, or other search engines you can get so much info on Anything it is amazing. Then you can come and ask the finer points of what you have found and get more from the informed techies that are in XDA.
Is anyone out there using Drod's blurrybread rom? If so, is the CRT animation enabled? Or can I just use the same file I used for the stock gingerbread for it?
Yes. Yes. and Yes it works well.. ..I'm not sure what file your referring to for stock gingerbread though.
I was refering to the zip file that I flashed to enable it for the stock gb but since it's already there I wont need it. I'll be flashing as soon as I can
+1 for blurrybread.
My only complaint so far, is my swype license doesn't want to stick around after reboots and has to be regenerated.

Oh ok. Well yeah if needed that can be flashed again.
anyone know if blurrybread is going to be updated to the official GB release? i really like it and don't really want to load the official until drod has had his way with it.
I could be wrong...but Im pretty sure drod said on twitter that hes developing solely for the thunderbolt now.

Yep or at least say "im moving on" or not working on it again in their thread damn .
well... that's a bumber. at least it didn't seem like he had done a ton with blurry bread anyway. hopefully someone with the skills will do the same. it was really just some "basic" tweaks to the base rom. nothing particularly major. i'd do it but don't have that level of skill... but surely someone out there will do something similar. i hope at least.

Well I'm suprised nobody's posted this yet...

-Next Generation Xperia™ minis
Sorry, but this news is nothing interesting.
I dont care about facebook integration. They need to focus to fix the problems with the ARC instead of doing this.
And the release of some budget phones is also not interesting since this is the ARC place
seriously! FB integration! I dont give a rats arse..LOL
all that junk will only increase battery use and will be added into the list of bloatware to be removed!!
Well.. I'm quite interested.. I use FB a fair bit so I'll be impressed if this is a good integration..... and I'm sure that the update won't just be for this.. they'll also include the 2.3.3 update and numerous bug fixes too.

Well I was the first one to mention yesterday that there was a Software Upgrade coming out ... but didn't know what was the Upgrade updating.
New ARCs are expected Within a Week or so.
Waiting .....
Anyways .. Thanks a lot for the Info dear.
Gah! This sort of inane crap (who f*!&ing cares if it takes one less click to 'like' something on facebook?) is what makes it take longer to get updates out for the phone (see HTC sense). All of this deep integration means that every time there's a new version of android they have to reintegrate all of this garbage from scratch instead of just plonking the app on top.
There's already a facebook app. It works. We can use it if we want. Or use a browser. Leave it at that. Why does it have to have its tentacles into every part of the phone? IT'S JUST A WEBSITE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.
Jesus christ sony, you were heading in the right direction, don't balls it up now.
Is that magic update ready to download?
Sent from my Xperia Arc
@daveybaby - I very much doubt that it will be deep integration.. it will be built into the SE launcher, like TS, and all the other widgets they've created.. that all now floats (mostly) above the OS layer so this FB integration won't affect that.
personallly i don't care of this kind of add. First they should keep android up to date and bugless than after, if they have time to lose adding theses features
I am sure that all bugs will be fixed...the FB talk is a cover up...news cant read 'SE to fix bugs in the next update'. it sounds better for the company when you are releasing a new version with something new, even though it may not be anything many of us care about...and like most of the stock stuff, users who dont like the new FB stuff will not have to compulsorily use it..
Native Google facebook integration has been removed from 2.3.3 and is not back in 2.3.4 either . I'm guessing it would need to be through Timescape and contact integration if they did improve it.

I really hope you're right. It would make sense, actually. Nobody likes to admit that there were bugs on their product. ^^
