I went back to the stock rom to try and solve the issue I was having with my phone rebooting. Just got a popup with a huawei update.. Installing now, will report back with any new features and changes if any.

I'm interested to see what differences it will have, fingers crossed for something special
all its seems to have added was the hotspot feature. nothing has changed otherwise.

Software itself is tested and A-OK. Now finalising the upgrade process for all users and will contact them by end of May.
^POB
yup, I got the same OTA update yesterday here in kuwait. It added hotspot and seems to have some other minor updates. Not sure what they are, but the google calendar icon updated if that's worth anything.
In any case, kernel version for me is 2.6.32.9
seems they may have fixed the issue in regards to sound clarity. Every call i have made today has commented on how clear the line is, as to what it has normally been in the past..
What is the version number?
More info on this OTA please! Has anyone been able to isolate it?
Okay some info..
This will update to B136 (same as B160). They have made some kernel changes but have not published the changed source as far as I know, so you're either stuck with their kernel or a modified one with overclocking etc.
The only thing I know for sure that has been changed is the camera driver, which honestly isn't a significant improvement. It still benchmarks around 1500 in quadrant pro, and although not tested I would assume similar battery life etc.
I will be releasing a package soon to use this kernel on B160 should people wish to try it.

OP posted that people commenting on improved clarity when he call them. This is very interesting to me as people on the other end are forever asking me to repeat. So would this be in the kernel? Would this mean I would lose over-clock if I used this new kernel provided by you?
As I said above, you will lose overclocking and other tweaks (ie BFQ I/O Scheduler and Smartass CPU governor).

root is not related to kernel, just do z4root if the ROM is not rooted by default.
Root is not related to the kernel but it is related to boot image, so if you use the package in the B160 thread then you will still have root and won't need to use Z4.
Thanks, all I needed to know. I switched over form samsung where you do need a custom kernel for root. Starting to like this phone more and more
Just start the OTA update from 2degreesmobile NZ

Ok, after the last tmo/samsung update bricked my vibrant i got my replacement left it stock and let it update. it worked fine. Question is, should I root, incase they send another update i cannot refuse and it bricks my phone again. It's just that the lag fix makes it twice as fast. But i don't like bricked phones.

s15274n said everything I had to say... the both times he posted.
It's easy once you read and understand. And i'm almost certain you could've fixed your last 'bricked' phone if you searched.
I searched. the first was a soft brick sticking at vibrant logo. I fixed it, but I didn't have a stock backup i flashed, it was a "stock rom" i found on here somewhere. But when it bricked the second time it wouldn't power up, no battery on screen when charging, nothing. But, I will give it a go this way and see what happens, I have 2 now, so eh. It's fun, but I am jsut getting into it. like I flashed it with one of the froyo roms, but the sound wouldn't work for nothing, i searched and no one else using that rom had that problem that i could find. So i know there was something i didn't do. I just wanna makesure i can get it back to stock if i need to.
don't forget to check if your phone is hardware locked.

Ok, so I did all that you mentioned seemed to work fine, but this fusion rom doesn't seem like much. now don't flame yet, i am just talkin. but it doesn't look like it changed much other than add launcher pro and as for lag. it's not as slow as stock but with ryans lag fix my quadrant score was 2550 and i'm getting 950 on this. although i have to say the gps snapped to lock. that was great.i really like the froyo rom i flashed before if i could have figured our how come my sound wasn't working and everyone else did not have that issue.

There are a few options available on TeamWhiskey website:
1. Fusion with stock kernel
2. Fusion with JAC kernel
3. Fusion with KK kernel
All of the above do not include any lagfixes, except a manual invocation via ADB for RyanZA's equivalent, a.k.a mount /data on a virtual EXT2 partition.
Optionally you can load Voodoo EXT4 based lagfix on non stock kernel options.
Another project is underway with TW own overclocked kernel and z4mod.
And as far as not much, compare the system resource utilization on stock Vibrant and on Vibrant with Fusion (with stock kernel option) - the guys over at TW have squeezed as much as possible out of TouchWiz to make the phone snappier, and as an added bonus they have removed most of the bloatware for you as well leaving the Media Hub for those who might wanna use it.
For last 4 days I am using ZSJPE with Speedmod K10I
This is after having used JPO, DDJPA with all sorts of combinations.
Just as I was expecting that this is going to be a hit JPU hijacked the scene.
But ZSJPE vs JPU
ZSJPE is stock while JPU is leaked and still buggy
ZSJPE has everything fixed just like JPU
ZSJPE is completely bug free, and simply flys, JPU is having few bugs being reported
Kies connects, and no problem seeing internal and external storage on PC mac
Issues fixed in ZSJPE
GPS
Battery Life
Second Capital in Swype
Missing alphabets in contacts
Lag (nearly gone), quadrant without lagfix was over 1000.
As I researched, The XML files on apps from /data/data/<appname>/shared_prefs/ to /dbdata/databases/<appname>/shared_prefs/
According to Kalpik in post in thread JPU post 688 this could be the reason for the faster ROM.
Installation for trouble free and possibly best performance.
Backup apps through apps like titanium/mybackup
factory reset or full wipe.
go into download mode and flash using Odin, only PDA single file, NO PIT, no repartition required.
allow full boot and let full initialization, you will have to keep pressing next in setup wizard because it is in east asian language,
go to setttings>>location (from Square icon with A)>>Select 1st option>>select english.
shutdown
boot into download mode
flash speedmod kernel K10i
reboot
reboot into recovery
flash "simple root" installs super user and busybox.
flash 2e recovery
reboot
boot into recovery
apply lagfix (optional, as even without lagfix this rom flies), apply tweaks the top 4
reboot completely>>shutdown>>charge till full>>boot into recovery>>advanced CWM>>Clear battery stats
reboot and enjoy the NEW improved SGS experiance.
Do not expect quadrant scores over 1400-1600, but absolutely amazing phone.
Hope you will be able to find the ZSJPE and Speedmod Kernel in the forum.

ZSJPE is as fast and smooth as XXJPU. ZSJPE has not given me single bug over last 5 days of rigorous use (rather misuse) to my surprise. ZSJPE is official HongKong ROM available through kies as well.
XXJPU is leaked ROM and various bugs are being reported. Worst of them is the poorly optimized browser, which is being reported to show checkerboard pattern while zooming in or out.
Hope I have clarified the point.

I will try to attach the pics ASAP, for now I would say
Idle use, like overnight with only 2G and no data it consume 1% in 7-8 hrs
Day time idle use with wifi on, sync on, screen off, no calling, I get 1/2% to 1% per hr
With browser 3G or angry bird it dropped 15%-20% per hour.
I do not like to compare the total time on with light/moderate/heavy use because these are subjective and relative terms and often confuse.
Please Wipe Battery stats after Flashing and go through full charge discharge cycle at least twice before you should Assess or Comment on the battery performance.
I use this ROM too, Just amazing. Never had any trouble with it.
My steps to install were:
1 - Backup Apps with mybackup.
2 - Odin only PDA, no repartition.
3 - Factory Reset (+ Deleted/Formatted Everything)
4 - Language English.
5 - Changed input method to Samsung Keypad to get rid of Chinese.
6 - Flash Speedmod Kernel K10i
7 - SuperOneClickv1.5.5
8 - Restore Apps & Data.
Enjoy a really good phone.

(Remember THIS IS ODEXED ROM, so not all .zip would work.
The one that gets downloaded from online kitchen is to be modified by replacing AndroidManifest.xml and META-INF from the Original framework-res.apk into the cooked framework-res.apk for it to work. So be sure what you are doing.)
The attached here is ready to be flashed straight through recovery.
Attached also is the original framework-res.apk which may be flashed through recovery to revert.
I am not sure whether it matters but I flashed it on virgin (fresh flash) ROM.
thx mate gonna try this firmware. gonna reparation with pit 512 as my phone has a virus.

Steps may wary, but I emphasize to reboot after installs. Aim was to give slightly elaborate method for safe install for people like me.LOL.
No need for step Super one click. For root, speed mod kernel recovery had option for root.

Though it may be updated through kies, I would recommend you to follow the steps in first post. This would ensure 'clean' install which would ensure trouble free performance. Through kies it would not result in full wipe and may bring with it 'errors' to your new system.
Think about it.
So this is also a 2.2.1 release like JPU? Someone post a screenshot that proves it.

Lol, it was not my intention to flame the guy, and I was pretty neutral in my wording, but it has to be allowed to clarify statements that are stated categorically and simply aren't correct. Even if bugs are a problem for some people, this thread gives the impression that they are pretty universal for the jpu, and that just isn't so. Also the fact that this isn't 2.2.1 is a fair thing to point out, if you ask me.

People often refer to Froyo as 2.2 regardless of whether it's 2.2 or 2.2.1. I figured it was only 2.2, but the fact that you were making direct comparisons to JPU had me wondering.
Hows the GPS? Locking time and accuracy?
Whats the difference between 2.2.1 and 2.2. anyways.... more speed?
I rooted my HTC Wildfire using Unrevoked (latest version) couple days ago, just found out Froyo avalible but cannot update because of this.

I am pretty sure you are doing something seriously wrong. I have tested most of the custom ROM's out there (Currently on WildPuzzle coz I kinda prefer LWP and Sense), and, they have never (hardly, if ever), crashed on me.
Besides, I just checked the Sunnabh thread, it hardly looks like self praise. Most of them have just said the exact thing the ROM author claims his ROM does, that it is stable. That said, if you are not satisfied, kindly move on, and, dont bad mouth the ROM author. He is not obliged to provide you with "stable" (as per your definiton) ROMs.
Get the OTA FroYo update, and enjoy your Wildfire.
Cheers

If I read the thread correctly, I think it is written as "ADDON PACKAGES and INSTALLERS". And, I guess, the name should be enough for you to know the meaning and the reason for the "patches", i.e., they are not bugfix packages or anything, but, additional functionalities which are upto the end user whether they want to install it or not.
It's not that if you dont get the patches, the ROM will crash on you a thousand times (If you do everything properly ,which, most of them have).
That apart, patch requests are again requests to improve the functionality and add convenience features, not bugfixes, which I came across the thread.

ANYWAY BACK ON TOPIC:
I noticed that the app called "SuperOneClickv1.5.5-ShortFuse" (google it) has an option for unrooting...I haven't personally tried it (ended up using Unrevoked Linux LIVECD to root).
Let us know how it goes.
I noticed everyone is just focusing on flashing the wildfire with custom rom. Isn't there other ways like faking the signature so the update can still be installed?
I have the same problem, when I tried the OTA update it fails with message "invalid signature". I guess the rom installer is checking the signature of the currently installed OS.
Maybe one solutions is to restore the original HTC 2.1-update1 rom then run the OTA froyo update. Then in the near future, there will be root solutions for Wildfire froyo.

Ah, I think I see what's happening. In the SOD thread on cyanogenmod forums,
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/32316-sleep-of-death-debugging/
there were two SOD fixes posted: One was the modified wifi driver from Embedded that your post includes, and the other was a modified kernel from dalingrin that is used with the unmodified wifi driver. I think the SASDmod bundle includes the modified kernel, so it also includes the unmodified wifi driver. But when I saw the driver in there I assumed it was the one I wanted.
Anyway, hopefully Embedded's driver will do the trick. Thanks again.

That's all true. The modified kernel helped with SODs but did not eliminate them. You need the modded kernel module to totally get rid of them. It's ok to use them together.

Hi everyone ,
I got my Nexus 4 yesterday and I love it! Before I got the phone I did a bunch of research on loading custom ROM's and kernels, and even pre downloaded everything so when it arrived I could start tinkering right away. At the moment it seems Paranoid Android is an ideal ROM for me, as it strikes a nice balance between simplicity and customization. However, it seems that the Matr1x kernel doesn't run well on it due to the JSS/JWR incompatibility issue that came about with Android 4.3. I'd like to run the Matr1x kernel because it has a great balance between performance and battery life, and does some fancy GPU over clocking/CPU undervolting for you that I am too afraid to do on my own.
I found a zip file on the xda forums that remedies the incompatibility issue and allows Matr1x v11 and PA 3.99.1 to run together without issue. So my questions are these:
1. Is there any risk in using this JWR/JSS zip patch? Finding it was a pain in the butt and not many people have commented on its quality or where it comes from. Is it safe?
2. PA's gapps package has a bunch of G+ stuff included that I don't care about. Is there a way to remove it like in some of the slim gapps packages?
3. Has anyone else encountered a static hiss/ticking coming from their earpiece? It can only be heard faintly when the device is up to my ear but it's a little frustrating all the same. Is there a fix for this? Does the device's warranty cover it?
4. Finally, I have one thing I am confused about regarding rooting etc: I have CWMod installed on my phone and I have unlocked my bootloader. By unlocking my bootloader, have I also rooted my phone?
Thanks so much for your time!

At the moment it seems Paranoid Android is an ideal ROM for me, as it strikes a nice balance between simplicity and customization. However, it seems that the Matr1x kernel doesn't run well on it due to the JSS/JWR incompatibility issue that came about with Android 4.3. I'd like to run the Matr1x kernel because it has a great balance between performance and battery life, and does some fancy GPU over clocking/CPU undervolting for you that I am too afraid to do on my own.
I found a zip file on the xda forums that remedies the incompatibility issue and allows Matr1x v11 and PA 3.99.1 to run together without issue. So my questions are these:
1. Is there any risk in using this JWR/JSS zip patch? Finding it was a pain in the butt and not many people have commented on its quality or where it comes from. Is it safe?
2. PA's gapps package has a bunch of G+ stuff included that I don't care about. Is there a way to remove it like in some of the slim gapps packages?
3. Has anyone else encountered a static hiss/ticking coming from their earpiece? It can only be heard faintly when the device is up to my ear but it's a little frustrating all the same. Is there a fix for this? Does the device's warranty cover it?
4. Finally, I have one thing I am confused about regarding rooting etc: I have CWMod installed on my phone and I have unlocked my bootloader. By unlocking my bootloader, have I also rooted my phone?
Thanks so much for your time!

1. Should be safe, as long as you have a nandroid backup in case something goes wrong.
2. You just delete the apks from the gapps zip. (system/app)
3. Haven't heard of it. Hope someone else has a solution.
4. Well, no. The term "Rooted" only applies to ROMs, when you have a superuser app and binary installed (Supersu, superuser etc.). But, you are just one step from rooting (Flashing the supersu zip).
All custom ROMs are already rooted, so you don't worry about that.

Gotcha, thanks very much for the help. So there's no threat of some 12 year old stealing my credit card if I use that JWR/JSS patch zip?

Most probably not. Certainly not a 12 year old
Give me a link to the zip. I want to check it out a bit.

This is the only thread I could find with a direct link to the .zip, which has me a bit skeptical since downloading it from a Google Drive account seems kind of sketchy.

That said, it does work. It got PA and Matr1x running together very smoothly, but I reverted to my backup of stock PA before entering any private info because I wanted to see what others had to say about it first.
Thanks again!

I think it may not work. It has Adreno 200 and MSM8960 libs in it, a GPU and CPU that have nothing to do with the N4's APQ8064 and Adreno 320. You can still try, because they most certainly don't do any "stealing credit card" stuff.

I did some more digging and found that the guy responsible for the patch has a profile on xda, found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=3873953 and he seems pretty legit. The patch is also linked in the Purified Kernel thread page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2368548 as a recommended work-around for the JSS/JWR graphical glitching. I installed v1.0 on my Nexus 4, which did nothing to help, then I installed v1.2 (linked in OP), and I now have Paranoid Android 3.99.1-RC running (so far) flawlessly on Matr1x v11. Pretty happy about that .
