Did we actually remove /bin from the path? I was able to fix su by simply removing the su link from /bin. I did commit that change to bootenv btw

You guys'll hash it all out in time - perhaps we should just use that su app, I'm not sure what the right answer is... Wouldn't break your back if an app can do it easily.

Superuser is an awesome app, but think of it more like UAC and not as providing su. It prompts for permissions when an application requests root access which I think is necessary for security reasons. I think we should put the Superuser app in the ROM's by default

Is kernel call some thing in "/system/lib/libhtcgeneric-ril.so" when SIM Card is inserted?

I tried to build tinboot without force_cdma=1 but still failed (boot up with error: "not found rootfs"), could anyone working on this point me the right way to build it?

In Haret I have full 3G signal & fast mobile data.
Can we make a port from Haret version?

I'll try to keep this short since it really isn't part of this thread. First, this is a branch off the Haret version specifically for rhodium NAND. Some of the commits for Haret have not made it into our branch yet, but it came from the same base as Haret uses.

For NAND, we do not use rootfs anymore. You need to grab the correct initrd.gz from our bootenv git and not the one on XDAndroid's website.

Nope kernel has nothing to do with the ril. Ril is for android and this is a kernel issue.

i dont know if you know this, but this is a haret port. lol. we just never had gsm users in the past and now its coming back to bite us in the ass.

yeah we did since people want to install their own busybox. So even if they install it and if bin is still around then it will cause issue. /bin has to completely be removed.

even so.. none of those commits will do anything for this sim shit. I'm trying to remember way back in the day at one point it may have worked, but no one really had gsm device to continue testing. only brave souls were cdma.. (bless us )

:-p

I just uploaded everything .. EVERRYTHING !!!

now for me.. this is what works.

Full install from recovery. wifi, cdma data. Also no longer will your phone boot on its own if its charging. It will remain off charging but i recommend you let it charge just for a few mins and then boot to android to continue charging. We have no battery meter yet when the phone is off so ill work on that next.

Dont confuse SOD with high cpu usage.. if there is something in the background taking up all cpu, then your shit will be slow.

Someone needs to do all the grunt work and test for the usual complaints.. angrybirds, titanium backup, superuser apk . I have it all installed but im amazing so u cant trust me..

what's free mem looking like at boot? for reference?

so the DL from page one is current as of O' dark thiry??

and did I hear something about not installing from a 16G card??

[tiger2wander]

@[ACL] could you help me to get SIM card work on my RHOD500?

I'm newbie with kernel development but have good exp with Linux system and some programming language, for now, I still have not any clue to start with this! I just want to try to dive into kernel programming ! and will need more help from yall.

great!!!!!! using my 16G and booted right into xandroid. will test throughout the day ... just hope whatever is on p1 is up to date as of 2:00am PST, march 21

hmmmmmmmmmmm, phone has been on the charger for 4+ hours (100%) flashed, got the xandroid splash, buzzed, then I saw the taskbar and batti showed no power (not on the charger at this time---flashing took less than 5 min) buzzzz, orange light and nothing will wake the phone....red reset will not wake it, pulled batti, plugged in, power button---going back through code (no lights), splash with orange light (still plugged in) ......


WINNING!!!!!

still no FN on RHOD400 hard KB

set sprint for apn----no joy...showing 3g and full bars, but data goes up but never comes down...quite snappy though
