We will be releasing test kernels later.

Great news. I'm just heading out to the zoo with the wife for a couple of hours, but when I get back, I'll make the replimenu commits. I have a couple of changes that I'd like to make to it because the way it is being done right now, we still need a sd card to get into recovery.

I'm wondering if we should do the OTA method where they flag a file for recovery intent, then have init check for that file to determine if it should go into recovery. Then as part of the leaving recovery it can remove that file.

ok.. yall got it under control. Well OTA is usually done by userland. So lets say android somehow knows there is an update. Then it will write a command to /cache/recovery/command. Then the recovery will parse that command and automatically update. In our case we can check for that command when we boot, if something juicy is found, then load recovery with the command. If not, then back to android.

That sounds great to me. I'd also like to set it up so we can install recovery, updates, or even system from NAND. LMiller hinted that you might have data working in recovery, and we could totally do an updater that always grabs the latest files right off the site. So exciting

I made the commit to remove replimenu. I did a tiny bit of cleanup while I was at it. I have a couple of other ideas to clean it up further, but I need to test them out first.

Ahh crap. I forgot to tag LMiller on that commit. ACL, any idea how to change the comment? I know git commit --amend works for the current commit, but what about a previous one? Do I have to rebase?

Im still on standby, let me know when you guys want me to test further more!

I found 2 files androidupdate-latest.tgz and RHODIMG-latest.NBH that were different from 3.17.11 so I downloaded those 2. Let me know what you want me to test out... 3.17.11 broke my WIFI, right now I have 3.11.11 on my Rhodium and wifi works.

Another bug I found. If I put the phone in AIRPLANE mode, when I get back out of AIRPLANE mode, 3G borks...I have to go under MENU, SETTINGS, WIRELESS, MOBILE NETWORK, turn off 3G, then back on to get it to work. Have duplicated it many many many times.

I can confirm the Airplane mode bug. I was not able to get out of the problem as easy the other poster. It took a few reboots to get things back to normal.

Also, I know apps are low priority, but the YouTube app does not work.

Otherwise, I've been running NAND for days and love it.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I can confirm the issue with Airplane Mode and the YouTube app. I know there are some weird issues that we have been having, and I think they stem from us blowing up the rootfs. I'll try to get ADB over wifi set back up tomorrow to take a better look. I've been flashing to mess around with partition stuff again today.

Hey nate just letting you know that I do have an extra rhod 400 and i will test anything i dont care if i brick it cuz it is just a spare phone now. I kno you probably heard it a thousand times but about testing but just wanted to let you know

[tiger2wander]

My phone is RHOD500 using with GSM Sim Card, is the GSM mode work for current revision?

I'm going to build and ready to test for GSM network with Sim Card.

Another question, why it crash/panic then auto reboot when Sim Card is plugged-in?
How I can debug it?
