When test2 was ready i replaced the rootfs to the original, deleted data.img and tried with test 2 and thats when it worked. So i cleared my ext2 and linux swap reinstalled neopeek and used test 2 with that it worked there too. Maybe something to do with neopeek on the card at the same time? Hope you guys can understand all this chickenscratch...

edit: ok i looked again to make sure, the rootfs in the 11/1/2010 release of reference shows date modified of 9/17. That is the one i used, sooo it looks to me like the commits in the newer rootfs' has something to do with it too.

Thanks for doing the digging on this one. I have done some testing and found that with the latest rootfs, it is in fact broken. I think I traced the commit down to 6c87dd04. Everything is now working for me, so give this one a try and let me know if it works properly for you guys.

Both the kernel and the rootfs are completely up to date minus the one commit that changed the power button mapping.

You got it dude! This rootfs/zImage combo does the trick. Thanks again!

Phenomenal work! Also working here.

This thing probably deserves its own thread instead of being buried in my thread!

Would you mind modifiying the first post & perhaps the title? Then it wouldn't be necessary

Good idea, just didn't want to step on anyone toes in making this the main thread for this patch.

so is there some sort of guide on how to install this patch???

...It's just like updating...?

Extract, rename rootfs to 'rootfs.img' and copy it all to where you run haret from. None of the other files should need renaming. For the record, zImage should always be that - "zImage" without a file extension. Don't rename the modules file.

Probably a good idea to delete your old rootfs, modules & zImage as well.

Never have to worry about stepping on my toes

Also, here's the script of what I'm doing to compile. I'll update these occasionally when there are updates worthwhile to re-compile.

genext2fs --root $TMPDIR/rootfs -U -N 1024 -m 1 -b 15360 $OUTPUT_PATH/rootfs-"$DATE"-"$GITDESCRIBE".img

rm -rf $TMPDIR

I just did a quick and dirty modification of the rootfs build script, so sorry about that. The most important things are to revert the following two commits:

Kernel: git revert --no-commit 6c41ca69
Rootfs: git revert --no-commit 6c87dd04

np, figured i was to only one with it working and it was probably a simple reason why. It was kinda my fault in the first place for assuming the rootfs was updated to at least the latest oct. with the 11/1 reference anyway. Glad it got figured out anyway. Thanks for doing the dirty work lol

I should have gotten involved sooner i suppose but it's unclear why we need this. To fork off just for buttons?

i hear some brains thinking ... We can probably make the whole thing dynamic.. Now just need to see how the xdandroid team feels about that. Kernle wise we can make the damn phone sing, but this is more of a userland thing in my eyes.

We talked about enabling the zoombar to do more. Any ideas what we can use it for?
