Android 2.3 - Gen8 General

I know everyone is looking forward to ICS but my demands may be more modest...
Is it possible to have a Gingerbread UrukDroid? Or do I need to switch to CM for that?

UrukDroid is based on the stock 2.2 firmware with customizations. To get Gingerbread you'll have to use OpenAOS CM7 which is based on 2.3.7. It has most things working, but video and camera are still having problems. It feels quite a bit smoother than stock firmware. With the new kboot bootloader, you can now install both OpenAOS CM7 and UrukDroid at the same time.

Thanks. I'll give it a try.

You might need to do some custom partitioning, but if you already have UrukDroid installed you just need to install the kboot bootloader and then install the OpenAOS 2.3 image onto your storage, get the menu.lst set up for OpenAOS, and put the Uruk and OpenAOS kernel/initramfs'es into the kboot/os folder as described in the kboot tutorial.
I haven't actually tried it, but kboot should work well for that. I dual-boot Ubuntu and OpenAOS with kboot (also stock, which can be rooted through openaos).

Where can I get the menu.lst for CM?
EDIT: nevermind I found :
Ginger-bread||/openaos-gingerbread.img|/init|0

it would have been even more easy if u read the instuctions
you just have to name the img file propper and it will autocreate the entry

My advice is to prepare a lot of patience for CM7. It may run in trouble and u have to do a lot of things and read a lot. But the other thing is the support is good

Hey and welcome to archos community!
You mean a honeycomb port?
There is a hc port but it isnt work because google wont release the sources..
The port is from luisivan and it stuck with the unlock screen.
I prefer to you to install the openAOS boot menu with urukdroid 1.0 (our best custom rom ) and cyanogen
All instructions to do so are in a thread created by me in the general section (i think site 2/3)

Hey thanks for the welcome , So when inseall the openAOS then what will it enable me to do , Install a new faster Rom ?
You can install urukdroid also without the boot menu
But with the boot menu you are able to boot multiple OSs (Archos Android,Urukdroid,Cyanogen,Angstrom,Debian,LXDE,...)
If you have a little experience with Linux and android you should setup your boot menu but if you just want one fast rom than install urukdroid alone

Ha ha yeah ive other droids too ive just rooted a sgs and got a desire myself

Also to enable the multiboot i firstly need to root the boot then flash yeah ?
Many thanks
No you dont need root to get multiboot
You need to have the SDE to do so
Just flash the initramfs and zImage via boot menu
(All instructions for that you can find here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153522)
Thanks and so with multi boot on there can i then load a custom rom? Or am i getting confussed

Standart:
Archos
Angstrom
Archos is the normal archos android
Angstrom is the linux distro from the sde,you propably not gonna use it
You can add these:
Debian Linux distro
Cyanogen The best mod for many phones(for us its just the beta!)
Urukdroid the best mod for us at the moment (to add urukdroid to the menu you have to have a little linux knowledge!(look at my thread))
You add the OS's with a image file, it is a single file like *.zip or *.rar
Then you have to edit the menu.lst, this is the boot menu list (lst=list)

See my guide in my signature. It has a link in it to the video. Read the OP of the ROM.
It's all out there.
I highly recommend this guide! I was just like you with Froyo 2.2, and that video has all the steps to get to ICS very easy!!

Pls help
I came from Toxic 8. Followed the video Odin, CM7 for bootloaders, and straight to V13. I love the Froyo roms but ICS is badass.

[Q] ICS MIUI for Defy+ (GB Kernel)

Ok, I think the title is clear enough but, I'd like to know if there are any MIUI ROMs for the Motorola Defy Plus with a 2.3 (GB) Kernel. Thing is, I have Quarx's CM9 on Multiboot but I'd love to try ICS MIUI on it, but I understand I have to flash Froyo Kernel but don't know what would that do to my CM9 I'm so in love with.
I've searched all the threads on xda and the web but I haven't been able to find what I'm looking for.
Thanks!
Unfortunately Currently there is no miui build that works on gb kernel.

Thanks for the reply! Is there another rom that I should try? I don't really know about another interface for 4.0 but it would surely be great if there were one.
Edit: I have another question, is there a way to install a froyo kernel on multiboot so i can keep cm9 (GB) on my default boot? I already have multiboot but I'm not sure if flashing wiui, for example, will damage the other rom.
Look at the miui ics thread by sesme

Well as far as I know multi boot requires same kernel for the roms. I don't know if any recent development has changed it. You may check multi boot thread.

Custom ROM

Hi there,
A friend of mine owns this phone, and although he likes it, the software is pretty bad because of the service provider software.
I have a NExus S and i have already made root to it, so i was thinking in doing the same to his phone.
I have saw this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224747
And i intend to follow it, but wouldn't it be better to instal something like 2.3?
Thank you for your help.

Yup, 2.3 is running stable on GT540, your friend can pick his choice, currently Miroslav's SDSL and AOSP are overall most complete out there. SDSL is CM7 by the way. Also there are various soft mods, so pick what you like.

Thanks for the fast answer.
So, i have to follow the guide i provided, and instead of installing the 2.1 rom, i installed one of the 2 you provided?
So, witch of the two you think its better? My fried prefers stability and speed over customization.
Sorry my ignorance, but it is a softmode?
Thanks.

You first have to upgrade to 2.1 with fastboot in order to flash recovery as described in these two guides
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1042639
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224747
chose whichever you consider easier.
Unlike Nexus S, when you boot in GT540's fastboot mode you will see only black screen, nothing else, so don't be scared.
Also leoposas has tool to automate ADB and fastboot commands
Then when you have working recovery you can choose any ROM you like and install it through recovery.
You can use latest CWM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1815189
or any other you recovery you like but make sure it supports Edify scripting (CWM version above 2.5.1.8, and other newer recoverys).
For speed and stability AOSP is excellent choice but SDSL is also pretty fast and stable.
Softmod is a modded ROM, that hasn't been built from source but modded after compiling usually with themes, scripts, tweaks, apps etc. For example someone uses some base ROM (CM7, AOSP, stock) and mods it. That's a rough explanation of softmod.

[Q] Stay on Eclair or go to Froyo?

Hi! A friend left me his Defy so I could so I can put it on steroids as it's working really slow. It's still on Android 2.1 (Vodafone Spain) and never touched. I've read all the necessary stuff for beginners and understood everything (I'm not new to rooting and flashing, I've a fully hacked Desi), but I want to know a few things.
First of all, should I stay on 2.1 as base or is it better to upgrade to Froyo, in which case what is the preferred SBF?
As this is for a friend and I'm not gonna have access to his phone everyday I need a really stable rom. Are the latest CM roms stable enough?
And at last, I've read that some of this roms come with the kernel, what does that mean?
Thanks in advance for all the info.
1) You can upgrade to Froyo, or stay as it is(will not really affect performance) although people report Froyo to be a bit smoother
2)CM7 is very stable and fast( you may use maniacs or other builds)
3)I think you are referring to the 2ndboot ROMs which include a custom kernel. Though I personally use them, they may not be stable/fast enough for everyone
I would suggest trying cm7,9,10 and check how it works out for you

Yes, isn't that 2ndboot thing necessary to be able to boot any custom rom? So now if I would like to install a custom rom I should (update to Froyo,) root, install 2nd init and then flash the rom and recover the nandroid for that build?

Yes that's right, but what nandroid do you mean? Usually you don't have to recover nandroid. For CM7,9,10 you should just flash .zip from cwm. For ms2ginger you have to follow the instructions in op (there you have to use a nand backup)
Sent from my Defy green lense using xda-developers app
No, there are ROMs without custom kernel as well. Cm7 and all miui builds are based on stock kernel ( all GB ROMs). JB is available in both, so is ICS, and only a couple of ROMs are nandroid backups, rest are zips. Remember to wipe data as well while flashing builds

If Froyo is officially deployed in your area and carrier go for it

Ok, so now I'm into work. I've already rooted and installed 2init. Nest step is to install a custom rom but I can't decide from this three: Epsylon3's CM9.1 Android 4.0.4, [email protected]'s CM10 Moto Ice Gun Edition or Quarx's CM10 Android 4.1.2. What would you recommend if looking for stability?

Sorry, as you see in the sticky in this very section, asking which is ROM is best in any category (stability, speed, whatever) is strictly against forum rules. Thanks for your cooperation.
