Vilords Thread
Build credits to just another crowd, TheDude and many others from the dream forum.

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.

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

TMobile Pulse: Android for Vogue

Uploaded the TMobile Pulse Alpha Preview to vogue-hero. Use the zImage temp hack also up. Thanks to pmos69 for the battery temp hack. I haven't had time to really mess with it besides getting it running. So it's up to you guys to make it work better. It works with a res of 480x320 lcd.density=160. Camera/Calls/SMS/Data should all work. Haven't tried gps or bluetooth. This is pre alpha as far as I'm concerned so test it out drop some feed back and maybe some of you can provide fixes and new images.

Coming soon. Temperature warning are fixed thanks to pmos69. Just some other fixes before a beta release.

sounds good any idea what the servo search is that keeps f/cing

Servo search is removed in the beta builds. I have it running very smooth with no force closes and it's using a custom kernel to bypass the temp warnings.

holerrrrrrr!!!!

Can't wait to see this in action.

servo search is like a universal search type application. Not worth the ram/cpu usage even when it does work.
you guys will really like this build, it's pretty much a drop in replacement on the vogue.

its up to him if he wants to release it or not. this was the one i did when it first came out. it's pretty much untouched i did just enough to get it running half way descent. you don't need any special files besides the zImage with the temp hack and latest basefiles. I ran it a 480x320 aka the hero resolution.

Everything works fine, pretty impressed so far!

HDMI mirroring

I am running gingerblur 4.0 and loving it. Problem I am having is when I play HBO go or something simular it is 90 degrees out. Am I missing something or is there a setting to correct it? And before anyone asks no I am not going to turn my television on its side.

The mirroring app for the Atrix doesn't support landscape mode. I believe people are currently working on this, using the app from the Droid X2.

Thank you very much. I was sure it was me and didn't want to ask.
Sent from my rooted Atrix 4g running Gingerblur by kennethpenn @ XDA.

Hi all
Because i have fewer than 10 posts, i can't post to this thread
so i decided to Post here, hope that a developer read this.
I've just installed the Photon Alien ROM on the Atrix and it works basically (no cam, wifi etc. etc...).
But the great message is that the HDMI mirroring works smooth like hell and in landscape mode, youtube, videos, games how it should to be(the resolution could be better).
So any developer please port this to Atrix!!! this can not be that hard now?

i'm about 98% sure he's being sarcastic

Actually, he's right. It's a matter of separating out the correct files, tweaking a few others, and having HDMI mirroring on the Atrix.

I just downloaded kens photon rom and extracted it , it does not even have a boot img in it. So it is probably a matter of porting the the hdmi apk and its dependencies.

I pretty sure its at a Kernal Level, but it shouldn't be to difficult. Our current kernel contributers, Kholk, Faux, and Edgar, with the collaboration of Ken should be able to figure this out.
Another approach would to work backwards. Take Kens Photon Alien and patch it to make it work for Atrix perfectly

So you have perfectly working landscape and portrait HDMI mirroring?

OMG multiple threads!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17051323&postcount=173

Yes it works great.. Im having trouble porting it to 4.5.91 but i have fixed wifi and cellular data on the photon rom.

Once this gets going is it possible to have an option for mirroring when inserted into lapdock? Sometimes i don't need webtop and the extra ram and performance would be preferable.
I voided my warranty and your mum.

incremental ics update xoom project

Here is a link to the ics update for the motorola xoom.
I have no idea if this is of any use to our developers but just thought it might in some way speed up the development of a fully working a500 ics custom rom.
http://android.clients.google.com/p...igned-tervigon-IML77-from-HTK75D.71a21bfe.zip

there are already roms (or at least a rom) working fully except for the camera. Unless it has acer camera files, i doubt the xoom code will help much.

Am I the only one who would just love to see a community based repo for ICS on the Iconia, all GPL compliant?

I know it's not on Xda but just wanted to thank u guys for mentioning the ICS rom for the a500. It is by far the smoothest/fastest rom I've flashed on my a500. I'm just blown away at how great it runs. I could care less about the few things that need fixed. I'm now loving my Iconia. Thanks again.

No, he's got a ICS rom (Android 4.0). I'm running it right now and it's amazing. The best rom I've ever ran on my Iconia.

Yes he does have it I had 40 running for a bit but SPB shell doesn't run along with a handful of other apps I have bought ill wait till app developers get the kinks out..
He's been working on it since October I think so its pretty good Cam and vpn don't work as of now we need Acer to release alot to get everything the way it should be...

And you owe me personally, about well, a lot of beers. And not just any beer mind you, but I like really expensive beer
In fact, if one would calculate 12 beers per day @.5L per beer since the time he got HW Accel working, No green screens, and 85% of all functions working, you owe me about 457 beers, give or take. But I'm not greedy. I'll settle for an even 400 x.5L.
The Pure ICS rom 4.x, runs damn good. Only 3 or 4 things left. Most people are using it as a daily driver.
But now, "Iced" cube, if you don't come through with your wager, on open terms as you set, Well... that would be considered "welching" on a bet.

Welp, there goes my weekly wage...
I did say "a beer", not "a few beers"
'tis all good, i'll drop some money in the tin.
That aside.... Time to flash the ROM, then!

Youre flashing a xoom rom? That might be the problem. There is an ics build mostly functional for our device a few pages in to the dev forum (where we are) or you can google thor and try his which afaik is just lacking camera and rotation lock.

Which ICS rom is everyone running?

too many ROMs in development section..help!

What is the newest P7510 rom if I want to go back (and not have to reroot) and what are the best 1 or 2 custom roms?
Too many in development section to know what I am looking at.
Links would be helpful.

Also when is the official ics coming out.

You're going to get an answer that says every custom ROM is the best. because it its all opinion, personal preference, and device specific.
Task14 is the best IMHO. I'm using a USA wifi only GT-P7510
As far as newest, I don't remember.
Official ICS? Some may have estimated guesses, but there isn't an officially confirmed date I've seen.
If you can read this it was sent using my GT-P7510.

If you want stable and fast then Task 14 is the best..
CleanROM, Overcome and BinDroid are also nice..
If you want bleeding edge with bugs then try AOKP..

Thanks. I'll try it. Is there a way to back up the current rom I have to restore it if I want and can't find the official one?

Yup.. While in CWM select backup and let it complete before wipe and new rom install

HDMI mirroring works. I would rather say it doesn't work. When I checked the forum, I see that the screen flickers every few seconds. Mine flickers a few times every second. It's a software bug which can be solved by flashing Pershoot kernel in recovery mode.

This is my office tablet and we need it for HD recording.
My boss bought a Asus EEE Pad Transformer TF101 (not Prime) tablet which does HDMI mirroring out of the box. So, I am not be dealing with kernel flashing for now. Hopefully, in the future.
