ACL - What is the status of this? I was hoping to see it set to 240.
Keeps giving me FC's with ADW Launcher.

When I flashed I had my brightness set to 255. This caused the backlight to not turn on at all. I had AdjBrightness (on Market) installed and was able to find it (Using a flashlight) and change the value to 50 and it works! I can only go up to 57 and down to 29 for the backlight to stay on.
Only other problem is my Top button does not do anything... Might be caused by something else though...

Thanks for All of your EFFORTS on this! Wish I could help out more.

So maybe we can ADB our device before we flash, then "echo 50 >/sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/brightness" and then flash and it works? I tried changing brightness after the flash, and that didn't work for me.

As for lcd density, it's all handled by this tiny bit of code from init in rootfs:

LCDDENSITY=`/bin/grep -o "lcd.density=.*" /proc/cmdline | /bin/sed -e "s/.*lcd.density=//g" -e "s/ .*//g"`

if [ "$LCDDENSITY" != "" ] ; then
echo "ro.sf.lcd_density=$LCDDENSITY" >> /etc/default.prop
echo Setting ro.sf.lcd_density=$LCDDENSITY
fi

I guess we could have it grab something from the sdcard, but I'm not sure if there would be a way to make it configurable within Android. I don't mind playing around with this, but I won't be able to do anything with it until tomorrow

Yes that should work.

Trying to get Ubuntu installed on my laptop as a VM in Windows 7. It is a pain in the A$$.

Thanks for your help on this I will look at the rootfs once it get Ubuntu working.

Virtualbox is your friend for that one. I've currently got 9.10, 10.04.1, and 10.10 as VM's on my work machine, and each took under 15 minutes to install and get going. I also use the shared folder feature in Virtualbox to grab NBH's and rootfs for fast flashing. If you plan on cloning tinboot and nand, I have a fully automated build script that I could post for you

I should have just gone with that... Finally got it working last night but it seems a bit unstable... I think I will give Virtualbox a try, I like the idea of sharing files that way.

I still have a lot to learn but would love to know how and help out any way I can. You can post the script and I see how it works.

Wifi works again.

I was apparently too lazy to delete and rebuild my data.img file.

I love titanium backup... makes life easy.

I'll try out the new image here shortly

Same I would like to at least know how it works.

The guide to compile ended up being much larger than I had planned, so in an effort to keep this thread clean and allow for feedback, I created a new post about compiling. You can check it out here:

Have we tried injecting another config on sdcard based on the rcconfig?

if [ -f "$card/conf/$RCCONFIG.user.conf" ]; then
/bin/userinit.sh -c "$card/conf/$RCCONFIG.user.conf"
else
echo "No user config files ($RCCONFIG) found on sdcard"
fi

Lookks like we can have a user.conf file and might be able to a modd the default.prop file which i think will handle what we need. The bottom section of this conf file executes shell params. So all we need to do is include

echo "ro.sf.lcd_density = 240" >> /etc/default.prop

Right now we dont have the desity set on tinboot so this should work.

I figured out how we can change the density for NAND. (For now...)
I also added the lcd-blacklight command from above. It works.

With this code you just need to place a file named "LCDDENSITY.240" or "LCDDENSITY.210" in the andboot folder of your SD Card.

echo 50 >/sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/brightness

LCDDENSITY=`/bin/grep -o "lcd.density=.*" /proc/cmdline | /bin/sed -e "s/.*lcd.density=//g" -e "s/ .*//g"`


if [ "$LCDDENSITY" != "" ] ; then
    echo "ro.sf.lcd_density=$LCDDENSITY" >> /etc/default.prop
    echo Setting ro.sf.lcd_density=$LCDDENSITY
elif    
    [ -f $card/LCDDENSITY.240 ] ; then
    echo "ro.sf.lcd_density=240" >> /etc/default.prop
    echo Setting ro.sf.lcd_density=240
elif    
    [ -f $card/LCDDENSITY.210 ] ; then
    echo "ro.sf.lcd_density=210" >> /etc/default.prop
    echo Setting ro.sf.lcd_density=210
fi
