Instead of clouding up the Original Newsmy forum thread with xdAuto release notes and questions. I've started this new thread.
The latest release includes the OTA Updater so this should be the preferred way to update from now on. A notification should show up when a new version is posted or you can run the application to force a check.
All release can be downloaded from http://xfer.aokp.co/?developer=zaphod&folder=nu3001

Here is an updated BonovoBluetooth APK for people who want to test it out (includes fix for crashing issue).
BonovoBluetooth.apk on my Google Drive
Note that you can't just install this one like a normal Android app.
You'll need to use an app like ES Explorer (or ADB) and root access to replace the file /system/app/bonovobluetooth.apk
There are some good instructions in the old thread here (scroll to the bottom of that post)
Things i've added since last release:
* Split Bluetooth music off from phone and settings.
* Improved the phone connection method a bit
* added an option to duck music rather than mute whenever BT audio plays.
Thanks for the build guys!

Radio isnt working for me anymore. No FM reception and not working to tune the frequency
Loaded this release. No issues. Radio is working great. Scanning is great.

You need to press the gear icon under the fav button in the radio app to get into the settings them select your choose your area under type selection. After you do this the tuner will work properly again. I had the same problem.
with an OTA update the boot logo should be changed, and there is no way to replace it not?

I'm not sure what you are actually asking. The OTA update works just like any other update which you would have to change the boot logo on afterwards.

the boot image as an OTA update is replaced?
because when you upgrade, it will place the boot image XDAUTO
It is not like this??

The OTA updates are exactly like flashing one of the update zip files (which is exactly what it is). It doesn't happen automatically, so you can just safely ignore it if you have something else you want to do.
Big thanks to all involved as always! Can't wait to get home from work to test! (It's been a long 4 weeks at sea... but this update is one of the many things I have got to look forward to on my return )
Thanks
another question, I see that the scheme XDAUTO keys is attached to this catch.
there way to add shares (following playlist) and (previous playlist)
to keys ???
thanks for everything
many many thanks!!
does MCU version stay the same (40?)

YES, I know.
I meant If this update required a particular MCU version.
Or in other terms, which is the most suitable MCU version for this update (running on carpa NU3001)
Thanks
Great job to everyone who has contributed!
Also, Im having some trouble with the AVRCP. Tried to stream music from an Iphone, and only "Unknown" was showing. Is there some comparability issue, or could it be some settings that was made wrong?
I´m on the NR5002 and MCU 49. ( I´ll try to update to the latest to see if anything happens)
Edit: Updated the MCU to v51 and everything worked!

Thank you 42turkeys, that's very helpful.
I have 2.73.405.93 build (OTA Part1 installed). Can I directly root? Or I need downgrade?
Where can I check out, how to downgrade? If i try official OTA 2.1.
Hi, downloaded my 2.1 O.T.A as i'm not technical enough to bother with rooting, i'm some what disappointed as one of the new features I was looking forward to most was speech to text, however it seems it's not part of the package for the Hero as I don't appear to have it, is this correct? Any recommendations for other means of obtaining it, I understand it works with handcent however I get the msg 'recognizer not present'..... sorry for my ignorance but any tips would be much appreciated as I loved the idea of this feature?!!

Download and install on your phone voice search (http://www.ibotchat.co.uk/voicesearch.apk) then you will get the required files.
Then to get speech to text download 'htc ime mod' (search google) and configure the settings to get the microphone button.

Hi i just have a stupid question :
i'm quite lost with all the stuffs about the 2.1 update :
i have a 1.5 stock rooted rom on my hero.
i would like to update to 2.1 but keep the root thing.
and i want not to wipe my phone
So what i understand is :
- if i update : i'm not root anymore and won't be able to do it with the 2.1
- if i want to be 2.1+root i have to use a full rom (rooted) to have both but i have to wipe my phone.
Is that right ?
Is there or will it be a way to have an update (not wiping phone), in 2.1, and with root maintained from my 1.5 ??
Thanx for help.. i don't what to do with this ota update...
Ciao
Fred
Can anyone help, I've been trying to update mine but to no avail. I have an un-rooted generic Hero from Malaysia. I tried changing the date and restarting the phone but I still didn't receive any notification asking me to update.
Is there any way to update the phone aside from the OTA?
Hello,Ive got problem with android market,it wont show me my apps I bought. It showing me some of them but not all. Thank You.
Overall I'm really happy, coming from stock 1.5 it to the official Sense 2.1 update it seems a lot quicker. The Android devs talked about introducing lower priority for garbage collection in 2.1, and it seems to help, less judders when scrolling lists etc.
I'm loving the new weather animations when you unlock your homescreen. The wispy floating clouds are awesome!
And of course, there is the major improvement to the colour support, no more dithering or banding, the colours are sharp and clear.
One major pain, though, I swear the the volume rocker used to change the System volume when on the homescreen. Now it only changes the Ringer volume, so I have to lower the ringer, the notifications, etc, individually rather than all in one go. There doesnt seem to be a way to override what the volume rocker controls.
A new bug, when you open an sms message conversion and click in the new message area, the messages above dont shift up enough. Hence the keyboard is obscuring the last message, you cant see what you are replying to. If you cancel that, then click again to write a new message it correctly shifts the messages so the last one can be seen. This is a new bug, it used to shift them correctly in all cases.
Battery was seriously killed yesterday after the update (which understandably required a LOT of processing) and trying out all the new features, but today the drain seems just the same as 1.5.
I would also like to know if there is an APK for friendstream, live wallpapers, 3d gallery etc..
I always have my Hero set to show only phone contacts in the people app.
Why does 2.1 show phone contacts AND sim contacts in the phone app? Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks

Re: the SIM and Phone Contacts, in what part of the Phone app are you seeing them both? In the people list, or the dialer when you start typing a name, or where?
Re: animations, I thought it was in Settings->Sound and Display->Animations.
But playing around with it, it seems to be on permanently.
Just switch the screen off making sure your home screen with the weather clock is visible, switch it back on , slide down to unlock, and after about a second you get a full screen weather animation over your entire homescreen. Very cool..
Hello, another noob here...
So, if I got this correctly,I can in a Hero that does not have root, flash the oficial NOT rooted 2.1 that is available in zip format, through recovery.
Am I correct? I just rename the Hero_HTC_WWE_3.32.405.1_R-signed.zip to update.zip, send it to memory card, run the recovery and install it?
thanks

I'm seeing the sim contacts in the dialer. I never used to see them in 1.5.
All animations are switched on so I don't know what's going on there.

Update, 08/30, v1.3
There is a new version of this ROM out for anyone interested, see original link in OP. I did end up trying this briefly before, I will give it another shot this weekend I think.
Maybe some changes can even be merged with XDA Special.
From what I understand the "T Roaming" menu was removed/changed - this is something I asked about when we first started working with WanHu ROM.
Also a message I get all the time about network time not being set has been removed.
And there is mention of the radio volume being fixed.
Not sure what else has changed ....

[update 25th February: modem now semi-working! Here's a pic ]
Hi all,
I'm excited to announce the availability of the inaugural release of SailfishOS for the M7 (GSM variant).
Instructions, information and download links are available here.
The adaptation is very much a work in progress: modem and camera not yet functional being the largest of the issues but we're actively working on them and hope to have functionality in place in the coming weeks. Regarding the US variants, the Sprint version has been successfully tested but public images for this adaptation are not yet available. There is an outside chance the 'vanilla' M7 SailfishOS image will function when paired with the appropriate Cyanogenmod 11.0 release but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it and don't have a device/am in the wrong continent to test.
So if you have an M7 kicking around that you don't use as your daily or are keen to see what is going on beyond the world of Android please take this for a spin. Who knows, you might even like it.
We chat about all* of our hardware adaptations on FreeNode in the #sailfishos-porters channel if you want to drop by.
Cheers,
Steph ([email protected], @chucisteph)
* if you're interested in other devices we're currently working on over 35 hardware adaptations and are actively engaging communities for more.

Could a mod *pretty please* let me post links? (or post them for me, or another user post them, don't mind, I just want to share the info)
Never mind. Found it myself: https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris/Install_SailfishOS_for_m7
Could you say how long it will be till we can expect a ROM with gsm working or are there problems you can't say how long it will take to solve them?

Days hopefully but probably weeks. The modem is there and detected but I'm having difficulty turning it on. Once that's solved it should (hopefully!) Just Work(tm).
I am installing this rom on my HTC m7. Thank you so much. Will love to assist you people in any way possible.
Update:
Everything works perfectly except, GSM, camera and store. Have played with it for around half an hour. There is another bug with power off menu. It got stucked when i tried to do so forcing me to soft reset my mobile. And i tried adding my sim card and after the reboot it get stucked in boot loop.
Hoping to see fully working SFOS in nearest future.

Touch screen not work my device :crying:
Hi all!
Happy to say that I have managed to get some modem support working this afternoon. I'll do my best to bake an image tonight. Where we're at at the moment:
* Modem functional but currently not showing SIM status correctly in UI
* SMS sending and receiving works
* Mobile data works (and shows correctly in the UI
* Call functionality works: can make and receive calls, however call audio not currently working
These are all problems that other devices have had in the past, and they all have solutions so I am going to work as quickly as I can to get them resolved and make an image in with fixes.

Sorry to hear. Your device is definitely a GSM m7? could you try re-flashing and see if it persists? if it does, are you happy using linux tools? we can debug it together.

That's great to hear. Once I have the modem properly working I will need help both for testing but also to enable store support (I need to send two IMEIs to Jolla so they can verify that the port works properly. Regarding your boot loop, the SIM should make no difference but I have noticed that the boot can sometimes be upset if the phone is started whilst plugged into a computer:- the GUI sometimes never comes up. I'm working on that but it only happens to me maybe 1 in 10 times so it's low down my list of priorities.

ok so sailfish is a fully blown linux distribution, means that once it's booted, even if the gui is messed up you can still SSH into it and ask it what it's doing (similar to adb shell). I just need to go RTFM how to make Windows recognise the USB network that your phone is presenting when you plug it in.

Thanks for your help.
I tried 3 times,
I'm doing the setup with the following steps
1- Full wipe
2- İnstal "cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-m7"
3- Shutdown and Powered up again by launching android
4- Reboot Recovery and instal "sailfishos-m7-release-2.0.0.10-sg-rel-201602180750.zip", and reboot again
5-Normaly boot but touch does not work in the language of choice
Sorry for my bad english

Your English is fine!
ok so your steps 1) and 2) only need to be done once:- Sailfish relies on the CM version for hardware support but once CM has been installed, when you install the SFOS zip it goes next to the CM /system and /data.
4) You're using an older SFOS image: does this one work: http://images.devaamo.fi/sfe/m7/sfe...s-m7-release-2.0.0.10-sg-rel-201602191147.zip
Out of interest, in step 3, does touch work?
No am sorry
Perhaps in a different firmware version required, because the power button works. Maybe that's enough for tonight I'll try again tomorrow. Thank you, good night

Thanks for all your hard work. I am really impatient for your next release. These fixes are really important and one m7 will be my daily driver for next few months .

I did a quick reflash and its working perfectly now.
As Sony announced few days ago that they'll discontinuing the X and X compact, what does it mean of us loners?
I mean it has been more than a month since the Performance variant got 7.1.1 and we still running the 7.0 and no news about when we'll get that update;
Also does this mean, that we won't be getting android O when it hits market?
From what i understand, they will only stop the production. That means no X2 or X2c.
Current phones will continue receiving updates until the end of its 18-month lifespan. That means 7.1 will come soon. (Actually it's already coming to Concept roms).
Though I hope they will skip 7.1 and go straight to 8.0.
C'mon Sailfish. Daddy needs a better OS.
Trashed it so fast. Sony is making some very odd choices. I hope they get their sh** together

Isn't it 2 year "lifespan" of updates ?????
Well, if you guys want some good news, Android 7.1 update for Xperia X/X Compact might start rolling really soon. Yesterday, kernel sources from an unannounced build (34.3.A.0.194) surfaced on Developer World, and given the bump to 34.3.xx.xx.xx from the previous 34.2.xx.xx.xx indicates it's a major update instead of simple bug fixes...

There's new Smart STAMINA mode, revamped quick settings with 6 toggle and Settings button (previously only 5 present and no Settings button when collapsed), round icons for Google apps, aand June security patch.
Someone said there is Xperia Actions, but I have yet to find it. Battery life seems to be slightly better, haven't played much with the update actually

Hi,
Bought an Ownice C800 PX6 with Rotatable screen.
I was able to get ahold of the original Update.zip.
But not able to modify the Update with proper signed.
All the current Rooted PX6 Update currently do not support rotation.
Only reason needed original Firmware/Update rooted.
If anyone can help create a rooted version of this update for me.
It would greatly apricated.
Thanks.
Link to Original Update.
P.S.
I have tried a few workshop programs for unpacking and repacking with out any success.
P.S.2
Yes, could keep it in Landscape but spent a few months working on a Tesla style KWLP.
Only to find out the unit had Live Wallpaper disabled in hardware and would cause app to crash.
Ended up getting a better Unit (current one). Only to found there is no rooted version with rotation option still intact.
So choice is have a rotatable screen with root and not use the theme.
Or, Keep original Firmware and have rotation but not have root. Leaving the KWLP theme with no access to tasker and other features requiring root.
(Screen shot of KWLP Live wallpaper theme. Face is animated. Progress bar shows time for music, Weather, Buttons for color theme, switch face, turn on visualizer, open side menu and more).

Could you possibly post that updated zip, please. Did not have a chance to download it.

Hi,
Could you tell me how to modify Update.zip that can be flashed?
Been trying but PX6 does not detect them as signed.
Does it require a specific?
If you know a workshop or software that can be used. Any information would be great.
Thank you.
