Here’s a new release for you, folks. This is a major release with a ton of changes, new features, and fixes. Our friend hyc/highlandsun did most of the heavy lifting for this release. Highlights include a rewritten RIL with support for world phones and greatly improved CDMA support; fixes for the media codecs; fixes for MMS on Sprint; increased security with the Superuser app.

A list of changes is included below. The FRX07 system image is available for download now, and will require the use of a new rootfs image, also available now. Additionally, we have a new bundle containing everything needed to enjoy a full FRX07 system.

Note: Due to the incredibly long list of changes, this is a somewhat condensed, terse changelog describing only the overall scope of the changes.

FRX07:

• frameworks/base:
  • Major frameworks changes for CDMA/GSM dual-mode worldphone support. (hyc)
  • Fixes for data connection handling to improve startup time. (hyc)
  • Fixes for wifi handling to avoid issues on hanged drivers. (hyc)
  • Stagefreight (media codecs) fixes. (hyc/viruscrazy)
  • Fixes for Sprint’s wonky MMS markup structure. (hyc)
  • Fix MediaScanner not finding audio files (including ringtones) in system.ext2
• hardware/libhardware_legacy:
  • Minor GPS driver fixes. (Alex[sp3dev])
  • Rename wifi interfaces to wlan0 on all devices (hyc)
• hardware/xdandroid-ril: Major RIL refactoring for improved performance on all devices, and added CDMA/GSM dual-mode worldphone support. (hyc)
• packages/apps/Gallery3D: Switched back to Gallery3D as the gallery app (closes bug #111)
• packages/apps/Mms: Fixes for Sprint’s wonky MMS markup structure. (hyc)
• packages/apps/Phone: Fixes for CDMA/GSM dual-mode worldphone support. (hyc)
• packages/apps/Superuser: Added the Superuser package for authorizing su privileges. This, along with our signed builds, provides greatly increased security for the end user (mostly against malicious apps from the Market).
• system/extras/su: Added as a dependency for the Superuser package
• vendor/qcom/android-open: Include missing stagefright codec symbols. (hyc/viruscrazy)

To coincide with the FRX07 system image, the following rootfs changes have been made:

• init.froyo.rc modifications...
  • Adjust wpa_supplicant service for the new abstraction provided by libhardware_legacy, as well as interface rename
  • Abstract the hciattach service to provide bluetooth support on both chipsets
• Rename wifi interface to wlan0 on all devices
• apns-conf.xml updated
• keymaps completely reorganized, and RHOD end-call key has been remapped to be the Home key in Android.
• default.prop: set ro.secure=1 to lock down the adb shell - su can be used with the Superuser app to authorize root access in adb if needed.
