All 2.3.5 OTAs via "cheesecake" - one has a battery fix - Motorola Droid X2

I nandroided to my cheesecake "platform" (234) while on ud1 (235/413) and the kernel caused wifi to break but the servers must not check the kernel. I never logged the platform on to google as I noticed gtalk sync errors that caused the 3g arrows to stop on other cheesecake roms. I flashed all the updates and found the last kernel different the first(413).
This is 235/412 call it ud0, Overminds thread:

Ud1 to 4 are here (4 zips in one fake mp3. It is not a mp3 change ext to .zip -It is easy to ul a mp3)
EDIT Tested with Winrar and Windows7 on PC and Root Explorer on phone.. 7zip, Winzip and others may not unzip this.

I did go from 234 (leak)sbf to ud1 with out problems btw. Then you could do 2 through 4 from stock recovery.
Don't ask why it is such a long seemingly backwards ride! The battery seems MUCH better no jumping. Batt fix must be in one or more of 2, 3 or 4.
We should be able to eliminate some of these?
These do NOT need to be renamed to be flashed.
A lot of the numbers in the zip names do not make orderly sense. I took them off my sd card by the dates I saved/flashed them. I got no errors as I flashed them all. Used voodoo root keeper after each.

BTW while scrolling the cloud picker server field, once the name moves, the scrolling input extents to almost the whole screen so use both fingers to keep it active and you can go from first to last server like climbing a ladder

Whats the latest 2.3.5 you have found. i'm back playing with cheesecake

Im sorry but reading over this twice I still have no idea really what you are saying besides the battery doesn't jump around after updating somwhere...
I don't.know if its just me/how im reading it but it is extremely confusing and hard to follow what you are trying to say.....sorry...
Edit...okay I think im following ya kinda now...
Question...which of these updates is the one that is in the 2.3.5 thread in development section?

1st link ud0 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1341202 is 412.
Motcher41 ud 4 in the mp3/zip is the last one, w/ kernel ...0006... It is the one I ended with.
I posted this so youall can try mixing(or not) these as needed to get the battery fix which occurred when I went from ud 2 to ud 4. These ud # will make sense if you dl the fake mp3. Also the update works great after I did all 4 and how do we know we should stop with overminds post( ud 0) ? Yet we are calling it THE 235 ud.

It seems that with so many on the servers none of those are final. They are probably all just test versions, even though 413 seems very stable.

Hey just letting you know there is a fix by peppermint so you didn't need to go through all that and besides .412 has a higher kernal then the one you have. Ihave kernal ending in 0007 and .413 ends in 0008.
Why don't you flash the latest and use peppermints fix so you are on the the newest kernal. Well i like kernal 0007 its stable and music skipping is better handled i don't need poweramp with it. Which im very happy about. Last update by poweramp screwed it (poweramp) up.

i wanna download the latest update only
i would download that mp3 file but the computer im on has tmp3 downloads blocked.
why not just make that a zip? what is the point of mp3?

I could not get any of my phone browsers to ul a zip to several hosts.

so what version should work best 412 or 413

Some say 12 (ud0)some 13 (ud1). I am on 406 (ud4) and it works great on lib 3.

I'm getting unsupported compression method when I try to unzip with either 7-zip or WinZip after renaming the "fake" mp3 file with a .zip extension.
Any ideas?

No I tested a dl w/ root expl and super man. You have name.zip?

thank you for considering using my application. if you would like to post in my thread, that way you will get the most help from those that are following it, or have already done it, that would be most beneficial for you.
however,
if you want me to walk you threw it, you can hop on the irc channel irc.zifnab06.net channel: #erisroothelp and i am almost always there.
or,
just extract the ema_full folder to wherever you want, my app is dynamic and doest care where you put it. then grab the update file that is up there as well, and replace the old application file with the new one. make sure you have .net 4 installed. i have a download for that as well in my thread. grab the drivers download from my thread and extract those to your desktop. then follow the instructions in my thread for installing those drivers for your phone on your pc. after all that is done, then just start up the app. run backup apps, then follow the root steps 1 - 3, and make sure you read and follow all directions.

Avatar.apk Movie App for Froyo that works with DRM'd Copy

This Avatar.apk is for those who have upgraded to Froyo with an unofficial build that doesn't include a working Avatar app, but desire a working Avatar.apk that launches the DRM protected copy of the movie included with the phone.
Some caveats/disclaimers: I don't own a Vibrant; I have an i9000 Galaxy S and a Nexus One. I don't plan on providing much support for this, but it shouldn't need it. All the usual "I am not responsible for damage to your phone" disclaimers apply; if you don't know how to use adb and don't have root, go find out how in the appropriate FAQs.
Back story: My friend owns a Vibrant and hated it (slow/laggy). I thought upgrading it to a Froyo build would make him happy, so I did with Team Whiskey's Onyx version (very slick, better than the best ROM I have on i9000 IMHO). He was disappointed that the Avatar shortcut/app on the desktop disappeared, so I pulled the apk from a 2.1 build and pushed it to the phone, but it didn't work.
A little investigation showed that the apk file has an xml resource that is hard-coded to look for the encrypted/drm copy of the movie in the path "/sdcard/sd/movie/AVATAR.dcf", but the Froyo builds mount the external card as "/sdcard/external_sd/" so the app doesn't work.
All I did here was edit the xml file to the correct path, repacked the apk, signed it, pushed it to the phone with adb to /system/app. The apk was then available to add as a desktop shortcut again, and it opens the movie as expected.
The file won't install like a regular apk (at least it wouldn't for me), it must be pushed to /system/app to work - use this command:
adb push <your path>/Avatar.apk /system/app
You could also probably download the apk and copy it over to /system/app with Root Explorer or any other file manager that lets you write to /system/app.
I have only tested this with Team Whiskey's Onyx build and by pushing via adb. I can't test any other ROM since I don't own a Vibrant.
I know a lot of people consider the Avatar.apk to be bloatware and ask how to remove it, but I see a lot of people asking for it back because it's convenient and a great show-off feature on the phone for non-Galaxy S owners.
Additional disclaimers: I did quite a bit of searching here on XDA for an apk that took this approach and didn't find one. If it's already out there, I apologize for this post and can link to it. All I found was an apk that requires you to have a non-encrypted mp4 copy of the movie. I also found a lot of bad information about you could use the original 2.1 version if you just de-odexed it and other stuff like that. Again, this will ONLY work on a 2.2 Froyo ROM because of the change in mounting path of the external sdcard.
credit/thanks to Brut.all for his apktool and to jessetbenton for his Mac-friendly android auto signing applet.
Edit: I only modded the English language part of the apk, it may not work properly if you're using a different language.
Here's the apk, enjoy:
Wow, that first post is a lot of words for such a simple posted apk! LOL. I just wanted to make sure to cover all the bases for any criticisms I might be getting.
Thanks dude, I kept trying to install the old avatar.apk, and when I tried opening avatar, it kept giving me "file not found"
Oh, btw works on Eugene's Macnut R12
You could also just make a folder named "sd" on the sd card, and move the Movie folder there. Works just fine for me.

Yes, but then you lose that 1gb of space on your internal sdcard.
I'd have gone for a symlink approach instead, but the internal card is plain old FAT32 and doesn't support them.
Or just use the stock froyo Avatar.apk? Lol. Worked for me...

Ah, that's good. Where'd you get it? I thought there wasn't a Vibrant specific Froyo yet - all I see on samfirmware.com are 2.1 builds. Like I said, I'm not a Vibrant owner, so don't really keep up with its developments.

Yeah, to each his own.
My internal 16gb on the i9000 is almost full (nandroid backups, media, etc), and I have an external 16gb that's more than half full. I prefer to keep large media files on the external, obviously YMMV.
Glad you had a solution that works for you.
Nice thanks

Thanks for the response.
I wish someone had answered any one of the dozens of posts I read where people were complaining or asking about this with that info. Would have saved me the trouble here.
Actually, it worked out well for me anyways. I have a couple of apps with the same problem where I really want to force them to use the external card instead of the internal. Now I've learned an approach I can use to "fix" or mod those apps. I wish app developers would let you specify a preferred working directory - hard coded paths aren't usually a good idea in my opinion.
At any rate, based on the number of views of the thread, and over 140 downloads between my version and yours, seems like a lot of people didn't know about this, and we've given them a working solution. That's a good thing in my opinion.
can u make this work from terminal?
Please help me to get Avatar working !
Iam on Darky's 10.2 ROM(GB 2.3.4), bullet kernel & KB5 modem.
and the movie is at the same folder structure since, my phone came stock.
I tried:
1.) I cleared drm content and drm protected content & restarted my phone two times- then downloaded the app from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=774078 but it won't install.
2.) I used the Android customisation suite from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894794 and created a zip with just the avatar.apk , cleaned dalvik cache, and the installed the zip from CWM, still the application just clicked, but no response/error message whatsoever.
3.) I downloaded a terminal emulator & tried to push the apk from this thread and I get adb:not found.
Please guide me, what needs to be done, as I haven't seen the movie [email protected]!

Buddy, I haven't been able to get it working, thru any of these methods!
I guess, I might have been doing something wrong in ADB Push. But I even tried with a Root File Explorer and replacing the Default Application that i had flashed using zip generated by Android Customization Tool(ACS) , with one provided in the two links(one of them, gives application not installed,probably the bigger in size one, and so installed the other one, thereby replacing the default that I talked above). but for no good.
Avatar, still doesn't work. Please help, guys!!

Restore Stock S-ON Bootloader

Using fastboot from the PC, as in
Code:
fastboot flash hboot name-of-hboot-image.nb0
(The phone needs to be in FASTBOOT USB mode (coldstart with Send+End), and an acceptable USB driver needs to be installed on a Windows PC)
The S-OFF bootloader is happy to let you replace itself - it is running in memory when you interact with it, not directly from the NAND flash memory.
You can find the .nb0 files inside any of the HTC leak PB00IMG.ZIP ROMs, or the "rom.zip" files embedded within the RUUs. (Note that the built-in Windows "compressed folder" methods for extracting a zip file will not work with these HTC .zip files because of the way that HTC "signs" these zip files, but the 7zip Utiltity for Windows will work).
The 1.47.0000 S-ON bootloaders are only found in the MR1 and MR2 RUUs; all of the "Leak" PB00IMG.ZIP files from HTC (Leak-V1,-V2, and -V3) contain the 1.49.0000 S-ON bootloader.
[SIZE=+1]Please be aware that flashing the bootloader is the single most dangerous thing you can do to your phone, and that if you flash a corrupted file to the bootloader you will certainly hard-brick the device. You absolutely must VERIFY THE MD5 SIGNATURE of the bootloader .nb0 image file before using it with fastboot! Fastboot provides you absolutely no protection from errors! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! You can find checksums listed in this reference post[/SIZE]
For clarity, I will repeat them here:
Code:
RUU___MR1 38899da4e5e002e3be22900f5f4eb6f7 hboot_7501a_1.47.0000_091023.nb0

[ Edit ] Updated - check Consolidated HTC Eris RUU/OTA/ROM URLs for the MR1 or MR2 PB00IMG.ZIP files - if you haven't already done the steps below. cheers! bftb0
I don't have a download link right now. If you want to wait a couple days, maybe I'll have something more convenient. In the meantime, the way to get these files is to run the associated RUU utility - but not all the way through. More on that in a second.
You can get the MR2 (1.17.605.1) RUU utility from this folder at shipped-roms.com - the MR2 link is the RUU_Desire_C_Verizon_WWE_1.17.605.1_release_signed_with_driver.exe link.
OK, now how do you "get" the PB00IMG.zip file out of the RUU?
Simple. You run the RUU right up to the point where you would normally be starting the install to the phone - but you don't do that. Leave the RUU running, don't terminate it yet. The point of doing this is so that the RUU unpacks all the temporary files it is going to use - including the "rom.zip" file. It puts all this unpacked junk in two temporary folders underneath your Windows user area, perhaps at
C:\Documents and Settings\<your_windows_user_name_here>\Local Settings\Temp
use your windows search capability to look for a big "rom.zip" file underneath there. (The two top-level folders will have long names that look like Windows registry keys). Note that you may have to diddle with your Windows Explorer folder settings to "Display Hidden Files".
Now copy the "rom.zip" file to some other location on your hard drive, and when the copy is complete, exit the RUU utility. (You can't do this until you have copied the file someplace else first, because all the temporary files get wiped when you exit the RUU).
You can then rename the "rom.zip" file to PB00IMG.ZIP. If I am not mistaken, the MD5 checksum of that particular (1.17.605.1) "rom.zip" file will be 9e9ad31f01bbcb05157443287f4f38dd
bftb0
PS. Note the "_with_driver.exe" part of the RUU file name. All the RUUs attempt to install a USB driver for the Eris on to your PC. Since MR1 and MR2 came out one year ago - a couple months after the consumer release of Windows 7, the drivers might not be the same quality as whatever you have on your machine now (if it in fact installs the driver despite the presence of an existing driver). Just a heads up in case it tries to kang a crappy driver into your Windoze box. You might want to take a restore point just before running the RUU in case you find you need to un-kang the driver from your PC.
Thanks for the download links. I had just extracted the rom.zip and found the bootloader and figgured that I should check the tread one more time. That's when I saw the edit! I guess I just have bad timing . Anyway, I went ahead and extracted the bootloader, here's a download link for the 1.47 S-ON bootloader from the MR2 update for anyone who wants it: http://www.multiupload.com/9300LRSFZP
Thanks
I just noticed that I forgot to mention that the way that HTC "signs" those "rom.zip" / "PB00IMG.ZIP" files makes the "compressed folder" handling in Windows unhappy, so you need to use some other tool on windows to unpack those .zip files. 7-Zip will do the job, though.
You obviously got past that, though.

No kidding, my first one was amazing, ran stable and cool, no trackball issues. I got some dirt in the speaker, when it blew out completely I just got it replaced. If I'd have know all the issues I'd be having with these refurbs I'd have just bought a bluetooth and called it good.

[HOW TO] Make Swype Work on the TouchPad

UPDATE: I haven't updated this in a while as it's too hard to keep a thread here and at rootzwiki. If you need help, have questions or want better directions (including how to do this for cm9) head over to the rootzwiki thread instead located here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/6712-how...-the-touchpad-updated-for-ics-with-more-info/
Swype does not work out of the box, but some small hacks in smali will make it work okay (though not really made for the size of the TouchPad). Since Swype does not like people redistributing their app, I cannot post it on here. However, for anyone with the ability and patience, this is how you get it to work:
1) download the apktool (google it)
2) decompile your Swype installer you had from your phone with apktool (it's in /data/app)
3) look for the file in the smali directory called InstallerService.smali
4) In that file, find the following lines under the method .method public doDownloadList(ZIZ)I and comment them out like so by putting a # in front of them like so:
#invoke-virtual {v8}, Landroid/view/Display;->getWidth()I
#move-result v2
#invoke-virtual {v8}, Landroid/view/Display;->getHeight()I
#move-result v3
5) Add the following right below those lines:
const/16 v2, 0x400 #hex for 1024px screen width
const/16 v3, 0x258 #hex for 600px screen height
6) recompile the apk with apktool and sign it with signapk (google it) or something else that works.
7) stick it on your touchpad and run it.
8) no more *****ing about "invalid device size" and it works
NOTE: do not bother trying to make it 1280x800, it wont work, since it thinks you are running honeycomb and obviously we are not. Smaller sizes that are supported by swype will work, but with mixed results.

Did you read what I said about distributing it? Their terms of service say not to and people have scolded by mods for uploading it before on xda (hence the DIY method).
If you cannot do the fix, I would petition swype to fix it
EDIT:
If a mod chimes in and says it's okay to post the apk itself for the installer, I'll do so.
Worked out of the box for me
getting multiple resources error while trying to decompile!
Installed using root explorer
Can you tell us how you installed with Root Explorer plz?
I had an extra copy of swype.apk backed up from a custom ROM on my other android phone. After transferring the file to the touchpad, I simply installed by locating the swype.apk file via root explorer.

Dunno why you would get that. I used the latest apktool version and ran (on linux):
./apktool.sh d Swype-Installer.apk
and
./apktool.sh b Swype-Installer-Directory/
ima say this for its benefit.. i used a cracked version from a frowned upon source. it worked but had space on its left and rightborders ( didnt take upthe ehole window). i have since uninstalled, tho it worked perfectly fine.
anybody have this? the apk for swype installer should be free to redistribute as anyone can download it from http://beta.swype.com/android/get/ (saying you do it from your phone or change the user agent string). the thing they dont want you to redistribute is swype itself so they can control if they want you to pay for it when it is out of beta by using the swype installer for verification that you are a beta user.

I'm guessing that only works with Android and not WebOS?

Correct. The only option for webOS is the default keyboard.

well that took forever lol... i finally got it working though. yay!
i tested both swype and sliteit. i prefer sliteit as it fills the screen rather than swype that leaves a left and right gutter

How did you get that specific skin? It looks so much cooler than mine.

I went as far as rebuilding the apk, but not sure how to resign. I tried to install anyway without signing, but the installer hangs while checking for version and gives network error after some time. I found a http://code.google.com/p/signapk and tried to use it on mac, but seems like it needs to be run on android itself. When I tried to run it on android, I get permission error, though I did a chmod +x as su. Could you give some more details on where to get the tool and use it?
I've been neglecting this thread since most of the touchpad stuff seems to be going on over at rootz. If anyone still has questions or wants to try this mod, see the thread over there instead. I've also updated the tutorial for cm9 and made the directions more clear.

original instructions for GB Battery Fix v0.8?

I have the .zip file from the GingerBread Battery Fix v0.8 thread that I downloaded to my computer on 1/21/12. What were the original instructions to use the file? I have a replacement X2 with 2.3.5 and I need to fix the battery issue.
LINK to thread.
Thanks.
Aren't the instructions by Lorenzo on the last page of that thread what you're looking for? The zip doesn't work via CWM so you'll have to use something like File Expert to place them in those locations manually and set permissions. You'll want to use the ones in there from 2.3.3 if I remember correctly. Those are the ones in the system folder, not the backup 2.3.5 folder.

not sure if your problem was solved, but as of now, you cant really just flash the zip. you have to open the zip, get the lib and bin files, and put them in their respective plkaces using a file explorer. in the same thread you linked, it has the folders that these need to be in. if on 2.3.5, why not just flash eclipse? stock just sounds yuck.
I thought that I flashed it on my old phone, which was running 2.3.4. Will flashing not work with 2.3.5?
I'll probably give Eclipse a shot, but I rely on BT, wifi, GPS, various mapping programs, camera, and video camera, and I'm hoping those things run well on it. From what I've read, GPS might not work quite as well as I need it to.
I'm trying to find the time after work to study up on this stuff and start trying some different things out. Roms, the V8 or V6 speed packages, etc. I'm hoping to find something I'll be happy with.
Thanks for the help.
