just curious, is the JIT (just-in-time) compiler included in the official 2.2 (froyo) rom?
If not, are we able to somehow have it through flashing kernel or whatsoever
While googling I saw quite a few threads about enabling JIT compiler, but none mentioned whether the official release has it included or not. Also, none for enabling JIT for legend. (except for the built in CM one)

I am going to build FroYo from Google's AOSP trunk, without any modification. I've read that CM6 proprietary binaries won't work well, so I grabbed them from HTC Developer, with the OTA image, to use unzip-files.sh.
Then, after unzipping, I only want to get a working AOSP, without any extended feature, like new kernel, or something.
Q1. Do I need to modify anything else?
Q2. Is it possible to create an update.zip with the AOSP building tools? I don't want to build CM6, but a totally AOSP-FroYo FroYo
I've read that the Sapphire needs some tweaking to get AOSP FroYo up and running, maybe the G1 needs some too?
Hello everybody,
I just got a T-Mobile G2 / HTC Hero (I have the T-Mobile version), and it is right now running the stock UK T-Mobile 2.1 ROM which is actually pretty stable and fast (to my surprise).
However, I am looking to replace it with a generic WWE HTC one (instead of T-Mobile) that has these features if possible:
* OC allowed
* A2SD / A2SD+
* minor speed / stability tweaks
* Sense experience a must
* other improvements incl trackball for SMS notifications
Is there such a ROM out there? Basically I am asking for a minimally changed 2.1 ROM that is as close as possible to the stock experience, but with the added bonus of OC and A2SD/A2SD+ and any speed, memory or stability tweaks that users have discovered.
I insist on Sense, I really love it and I don't want to go to Vanilla.
Please help me out!
PS: Also, is there a RUU available of the stock T-Mobile ROM in case I ever want to return it to factory condition?
Here is what my phone was shipped with:
2.1-update1
63.18.55.06MU_6.35.13.09
2.6.29-5f74b252
3.31.11-.1 CL183682 release-keys
3.31.110.1
WebKit 3.1
At the moment 2.2 is still a big buggy :/
If You want to try 2.1 -> go and check RC mix.
You would just need to strip some extra apps that come installed along with it, but it's one of the best ROM's I tested.
With regards

If somewhere in time X8 get Froyo, will there be Flash support? Cause i read that the flash support depends on processor or something like that.
10x for you answers.
Well the official statement from adobe is that flash 10.1 requires ARM version 7 CPU and our is version 6. Despite of this there is custom froyo roms for other devices with arm v6 cpu so it should be possible. The short answer is that is SE make official froyo or gingerbread rom for X8 it will be probably without flash or with flash lite 4. If we manage to make custom froyo rom it will probably have flash.
Why we don`t start a work on a custom froyo rom ?

'We' is funny word. It means 'I will try to do nothing, but I'm waiting for others'
In fact I can try to bring this up myself but I am new to Android development not new to Linux (as an Unix System Administrator). So if someone give info what is needed to be done I thing that I can create a froyo rom by myself.
As I understand the problem with froyo is that it use a different kernel then the eclair. But because Android is basically linux the kernel don`t affect the software only affect the communication with the hardware (drivers). So we have a 2.6.29 kernel on our X8. If we can use the same kernel for the froyo apps then we can run froyo as well on the same kernel (same hardware) also we can run Android 2.3 on the same hardware/kernel.
there are different APIs.. eclair uses API 7, froyo uses API 8 (info from Android SDK).
so there can be difference in drivers and other.. but it's only my guesses, dont blame on me

You can study the asop froyo rom made by zdzihu for x10 and try something similar for x8.
I don't know anything about linux so can't help you there...
Sent from my X8 Rooted+JiT+App2sd
As I understand this ASOP Froyo MOD is only the system.img and data.img and it`s exactly what I need to make the rom for X8 basically what I thing should work is to flush the Phone to 2.1 rooted and after that on the part when we copy the /system folder to copy the one form the Froyo MOD this will work i suppose but need to try it.
Installation process is quite ok but you'll need to make it compatible to x8..
On milestone it was possible. Old kernel and fully working froyo features. It has bootloader locked by 1024 rsa key. Its possible to build froyo on old kernel, but who can do it? We lack of experienced developers unfortunately.
Flash is a different matter, it won't work witch our processor, but froyo optimization is far more important.

Since we can't change the kernel, are Froyo features like USB tethering available in the Froyo or Gingerbread custom roms for the mini/mini pro?
What about apps that require 2.2 or 2.3? Will those work on the custom roms?
Sorry for the beginner questions, I searched through the forums but couldn't find any answers to these.
Thanks!
Roy
Not sure about USB tethering, but Froyo and Gingerbread apps work fine on custom ROMs, though obviously you won't be able to run Gingerbread apps on Froyo.
So I have heard that the original kernel of Froyo (2.6.32.9 if I'm right) was not clockable. Well, the kernel seems to have got an update in the Gingerbread version (2.6.35.10 if I'm correct) and there is no more touch screen bug so it eliminates the need to put a custom touch lag-fixed kernel on it. The question is, can you overclock the stock Gingerbread kernel (2.6.35.10 if I'm correct)?
i dont think so. however, you can give it a try using the "no frills" app from the android market
OC must be supported by "more" provided frequencies in kernel. This isnt the case in ALL
android stock kernels - even on HTC and Samsung there isnt overclocking supported by stock kernels.
To use a OC app you need a kernel with OC capabilities.
That's exactly what I am asking. Is the official Gingerbread original kernel (2.6.35.10) overclockable or not? Froyo one (2.6.32.9) was not I guess.
