Android ROM Build Release Notes for Enomther`s TheOfficial Nexus1 - v2.11.3
close window

8/10/2010 - 2.11.3 (yet another bug revision)
1) Fixed - MMS Picture size issues, they send/receive nicely now (no more 1kb size), for those that have the issue
2) Fixed - Phone unable to hang up bug (this was only in the prethemed version)
3) Fixed - added the wifi unicast mac addr bug patch to the wifi driver
4) Fixed - FC`s in GoogleMaps (it was a theme-ing issue, so for now it`s not themed at all)
5) Fixed - (*hopefully*) - Facebook issues (upgraded to 1.3.1), and fixed some xml theme incompats in the themed version
6) Fixed - (shrank) - the HTC framework down to the barebones necessary to function, the way it should be :/
---- This potentially will resolve several issues that are harder to diagnose, /system space limitations
7) Fixed - (kinda) - Unable to use flashlight LED "superBRIGHT" settings when using the 720p kernel
---- Was working on some ways to accomplish this, but deathRay just seemed cooler and was more likely to be adopted
---- by kernel and app dev`s. Therefore deathray it is ...
---- This also means that in order to use a superbright setting in with a 720p kernel, you`ll need to obtain
---- Cyanogen`s deathRay Modded Torch App. I have compiled and posted a compatible one in POST #3. (ty cyanogen 4 that)
8) Fixed - (for clarity) - All TheOfficial kernel variants, are now given an identifiable name, there are (4) kernels
---- a) 2.6.32.16-TheOfficial-basemods - base TheOfficial kernel
---- b) 2.6.32.16-TheOfficial-AudioMOD - base TheOfficial kernel + pershoot`s audio mods (This is included by default in the ROM)
---- c) 2.6.32.16-TheOfficial-720p - base TheOfficial kernel + 720p support
---- d) 2.6.32.16-TheOfficial-AudioMOD-720p - base TheOfficial kernel + audiomod`s + 720p support (This one is bundled with the HTCCamera installer)
NOTE: SpareParts now show`s you which kernel you`re currently using, as well the ability to download TheOfficial kernels, that match the camera installed.
NOTE: You will have to reinstall the HTCCamera, either from POST #3 or SpareParts.

---- NOTE THEMERS: This bug revision is unfortunately a complete rebuild in some ways, you will need to obtain
---- the latest theme templates and redo all apk theme modifications. :/ (sorry `bout that, but was necessary)



8/5/2010 - v2.11.2 - (the lunch hour bug fix!)
- fixed - the liboemcamera.so (thanx to cyanogen for the quick response on that)
- fixed/updated - some gapps, gmail, twitter, facebook, maps, googlevoice (so they are theme-able)
- fixed - in pre-themed version, now facebook and twitter are themed
- fixed - auto-completion bug in Android Keyboard
- fixed - issue with swype (and others)
PLEASE NOTE: After flashing, you`ll notice the HTCCamera is gone (if you had it installed previously)
------------------- Just reinstall from SpareParts ..OR.. POST #3 (DirectDownload), .........
-------------------there is no need to apply a "kernel" after the HTCCamera installation, unless you want the NoAudioMOD!
-------------------(kernel is included with HTCCamera install)
THEMERS NOTE: The ThemeTemplates were updated again as well, but only the following apk`s were changed from 2.11.1 (so you don`t have to start over) ...
---- system/app_store/LatinIME.orig.apk
---- system/app/Gmail.apk
---- system/app/Maps.apk
---- system/app/SpareParts.apk
---- system/app/Twitter.apk
---- system/app/googlevoice.apk


8/5/2010 - v2.11.1
- added - trackball succession (100% optional w/out side-effects in spareparts)
--- been using it for literally days ... didn`t notice battery drain or wierd wake behaviour
--- you be the judge, it`s optional (if disabled ... is completely like stock operation, only 1 color notif)
- added - several more LED color options as well as a custom color picker
--- DO NOTE: That the custom color chosen will not always appear properly, HW limitation
------------ I`ve tried to add as many color options that were easily distinguishable to the naked eye
- added - IM app is back
--- also added an IM LED option in spareparts for notifs
- added - HTCCamera is back (ported this from the froyodesire)
--- is 720p capable ... enable in spareparts, it must be downloaded/flashes in recovery automatically
--- you can always restore the original camera, also a download in spareparts
PLEASE NOTE: If you use a different kernel (not mine) ... and you have the HTCCamera ... make sure it supports 720p
---[For the 720p kernel port from desire] - Would like to thank charansingh and cyanogen.
WARNING: Some have reported problems downloading the HTCCamera while using clockworkmod recovery.
--------- See POST #3 for direct download links and reboot into clockworkmod recovery manually to install update.zip!
- added - downloadable Kernel options in SpareParts
--- Use this to obtain my enom-kernel with or without the pershoot audio mod`s
--- If you`re using the HTCCamera, only 720p kernel options are available and vice versa
- added - jstarkley`s Render effects (ty to jstarkley and cyan for the implementation, kmobs for some cool color-opts )
- added - option to disable StageFright player in spareparts (it`s a live toggle, so you can switch easily)
- added - option to disable built-in CPU controls in spareparts
--- So you can easily use SetCPU or a userinit.sh script style of CPU scaling/frequency control
- updated - the HTC framework to froyo 2.2 from desire build
- fixed - wmv/wma support
- fixed - spelling errors in spareparts :/
- fixed - Calendar & Market LED`s not functioning
- fixed - Certain app LED failures, they were using a different method (like Touchdown)
- fixed - LED App PassThrough setting, where some apps could not use LED notif`s when set to "Application Set" in spareparts
- fixed - implemented yahoo and exchange fixes in the e-mail app
- fixed - HTCRingTonePicker FC, it works now
- fixed - bug where dismiss button was disabled on alarmclock, even though unchecked in spareparts
- removed - kernel links from the OP ... use the built-in spareparts downloader ... it`s safer.
THEMERS NOTE!!: ThemeTemplates fully updated ... almost everyapp has changed ...
--------------- Also note that Camera.apk is missing from the templates, this is b/c of the HTCCamera option.
--------------- It is recommended you not theme the camera app ... and if you do ... specific which camera is included.

-- Just a Bug Revision
-- fixed - some kernel fup`s

-- fixed 270 & 90 degree disabled settings in spareparts not sticking
-- fixed disappearing HTC_IME setting once installed in spareparts
-- Manup456 put some new images into the pre-themed version, ty
NOTE: ThemeTemplates were updated again ... but only SpareParts has changed since 2.10.1
----------- So you don`t need to redo everything, only SpareParts
ALSO NOTE: The version number in SpareParts will still reflect 2.10.1. This is a mistake and can be safely ignored.

- added - Trackball LED DefaultColor option
- added - Trackball LED BlinkRate option

---- This enables certain community MOD`s - like random boot animations custom user-init-scripts, etc.

- fixed - statusbar drop-down - now has translucent background support *again* :/ (ty koush 4 that)

NOTE: New ThemeTemplates - themes need to be updated with latest templates

7/13/2010 - v2.9.3
--- NOTE: Just a bug-revision update, had a few hours to look into these issues today.
- fixed - (perhaps) .. reduced kernel/boot.img size by a bunch, should solve the WRITE error on boot.img in recovery when flashing
- fixed - Facebook Sync issues
- fixed - Initial Google Sign-In Hang
- fixed - failed installation of talkback on upgrade
- fixed - FLAC audio support

7/9/2010 - v2.9.2
- Updated to AOSP-FRF91-2.2r1.1
- Attempted to bring in as many features as I could in short time from 1.9.2
- Would like to especially thank all of the CyanogenMod contributors (some collectively referred to as teamdouche)
---- for their efforts, commitment and work involving their android AOSP modifications, we all appreciate it guys, tyvm
- added - 90 degree orientation settings - ty to Jonasl for the newer/cleaner patch
- added - option to Toggle the Native Froyo AOSP based Apps2SD apk installation location
--- In SpareParts, in Data Storage Options
- added - Official Twitter app to Built-In-App options

- updated - kernel to 2.6.32.16 (mostly aosp src`d)
- updated - the HTC_IME to jonasl`s v27 for Froyo version, ty
- updated - the FLAC support, big ups to cyanogen and kroot for this effort (I may have botched it sum :/)
- removed - CorpCal (no longer needed)
- removed - HTCCamera from HTC App Options, there is no working alternative that I know of yet.
- removed - custom Launcher settings for now, check ADWLauncher (ty AnderWebs) in the Market for a very-nice alternative
- removed - the "Disable OTA Update Notifications" feature, so you will recieve OTA notifications for now, if there are any
---- This is b/c it appears `G` has bound this functionality into GoogleServicesFramework, which can`t be removed for other reasons
- removed - wmv/wma support, just not enough time to mess with it, may-or-maynot be possible
- removed - the wifi/wired tether apps (as there`s a native alternative now)
--- NOTE: This doesn`t uninstall them if you have them previously installed. Uninstall in Settings->Apps->Manage.
-------------- All other 1.9.2 features made it in this release ----------------

QUICK RELEASE INSTALLATION NOTES:
--- This is a little bit of a pre-mature release guys, but wanted to get something out to you, b/c I will be tied up till mid-
--- next week. There may be some unforseen quirks, SO MAKE SURE YOU DO YOUR NANDROID BACKUP 1st~~~!!!
----- Also, make sure you update your radio to the 4.06.00.12_7, or you`ll have camera, video and other issues.

UPGRADING from v1.x.x--
--- - If you`re upgrading from 1.x.x of TheOfficial, please make sure you uninstall HelixLauncher first, it`s broken anyways.
----- And lastly, you will need to launch SpareParts once before your custom settings will be upgraded for LED`s and such.
----- If you used the HTC_IME, you will notice it`s uninstalled on firstboot (this is intentional, just reinstall it from SpareParts)

FRESH-INSTALL
--- - If you`re performing a fresh install, please note that you`ll want to skip through SetupWizard on first boot.
----- Then attempt to sign into the Market and setup your Google Account that way. I haven`t had time to isolate this
----- issue, but it`s an easy work around. For some reason the initial SetupWizard hangs after attempting to sign-in, so skip it.

COMING-FROM-ANY-OTHER-ROM
--- - WIPE!!! (YES WIPE) ... and then proceed as fresh install.


5/16/2010 - v1.9.2
- fixed - 3MP bug in stock camera, it now has 5MP option.
PLEASE NOTE: If you tried the HTCCamera as a result of lack of 5MP on stock.
PLEASE uncheck the HTC Camera in SpareParts, this reinstalls the stock camera. Then upgrade to 1.9.2.

--- supports the "tun" module along with the previously supported ones.
- linked up system/modules so that modprobe will function properly

- updated most binaries from the AOSP-2.1r2
- added Development app (includes a "hidden" terminal with "a few issues")

(SpareParts options in a nutshell)
--- Control which Modded Apps are used
--- View and Control Storage Data Options
---- View FileSystem Sizes (Free/Used)
---- Implement Apps2SD
---- Implement Dalvik-cache2SD
---- Implement Dalvik-cache to /cache partition
--- Control the PID Prioritzer on Launcher2
--- Control userinit.sh startup execution
--- Control OTA Update Notifications
--- Various Quick Commands
---- Reboot normally or into recovery or bootloader
---- Mount /system read/write or readonly
---- (more to come, only need to dream them, suggestions welcome)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
- added "optional" modded apps
--- CyTown`s Phone MOD
--- Wysie`s WyContacts MOD (w/out the scrolling letter bug!)
--- An internationalized keyboard (that lacks VoiceSearch), but supports more international characters when typing!
--- (more to come here too, eventually)
- updated the wired tether package (but not the wifi tether just yet, continue to ignore it`s "update prompt")
NOTES/KNOWN-ISSUES:
- If you`ve already *manually* implemented apps2sd and/or dalvik-cache2SD, SpareParts will be unaware of this!
simply check the appropriate checkboxes for your setup and it will be sync`d up fine. No worries there.
- The "End button behavior" option in SpareParts is broken, so just don`t tamper with it. I`m going to look into it when possible.
- Themers do note the changes in the ThemeTemplates (particularly the app_store folder in /system now, 3-duplicate apps)


2/3/2010 - v1.5.1 - STABLE
- fixed signing issues with the GAPPS, this will fix the "login" and sync issues.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are experiencing these issues, a "wipe" is in order to resolve. Sorry `bout that.

2/3/2010 - v1.5
- updated to the latest Google OTA Update ERE27!
- removed Cyanogen`s MultiTouch stuff ... as ERE27 now has MultiTouch Browser, Maps and Gallery!
- Google Goggles is in there now ... GoogleMaps 3.4 w/ the night stuff
- Everything has been de-odex`d again.
- Resigned everything with testkeys.
--- ALSO, there is a radio update ... but I will never include such updates in my ROM`s, so there`s a separate update.zip for that in Downloads section.

1/27/2010 - v1.4
- Now a FULL ROM, no longer an addon, this will make installing/transitioning easier
- added - Cyanogen`s Multi-Touch Browser (thanks again man!)
- added - Android IM App (AIM, MSN, Yahoo support)
- added - Corporate Calender (for Exchange Calender Support)
- fixed - lucid script to perform Apps2SD
- fixed - the BackupManager.jar was jacked up
- improved - relinked `rm` to busybox (instead of toolbox)
--- more coming soon, this is a minor stepping stone

1/12/2010 - v1.3
- De-ODEX`d apps/framework (`cept core) and now 100% Theme-able - So Themers bring us some themes please!!!
- ZipAligned all system apk`s after de-odex`ing (In the ROM and Theme Templates, you`ll wanna re-zipalign after themeing)
--- Theme Templates in the Download Section (I did a "white" statusbar text template to speed things along)
- replaced - su/Superuser.apk from Cyan`s Makin` Bacon (So that Themes will be interchangable between the ROM`s)
- automatic detection and filechecking for ext2/3/4 partitions
- automatic mounting of ext2/3/4 partitions to /system/sd
--- If you want apps2sd (I`m not judgin ), you can now use the `lucid` script for that, since ext is auto-mounted.
- startup/boot execution of /data/local/userinit.sh (in case you want to implement some custom startup stuff )
-------- I`m using all this to run a linux distro ---------
- added - telnetd binary (a quick/dirty convenience)
- re-linked ps, ls & df to busybox (instead of toolbox)
- added - a pid prioritizer for launcher2
--- is a slight bump that helps with the launcher2 lag, not a permanent fix, but helps a lil for now (till we get a code drop)

1/8/2010 - v1.0
- TheOfficial - 2.6.29-msm-nexusone kernel
(Would like to thank Zinx for initial RNDIS port, Ben Buxton for n1 port and Cyanogen for posting the code in git, TY)

--- fix_permissions (to fix uid problems, even though amon_ra`s recovery has it )
--- lucid (not 100% useful yet, but it`s there and will get it updated over time)

- NO Apps2SD boot support yet (Mostly as there`s no need *yet and hopefully never* )



****** Installation Steps *******

- (1) Unlock your bootloader (root it) and fastboot install Amon_RA`s recovery image
--- see these (2) threads for details
--- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=612858
--- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611829

- (2) Perform a nandroid backup to be safe!

- (3) Wipe your configuration and ext partition if coming from another ROM/addon!

- (4) Download the update.zip and copy to your sdcard and flash in Amon_RA`s recovery image.


****** Frequently Asked Questions *******

1) When using the `su` command/app ... make sure USB Debugging is turned on in order to recieve the initial su-permission window.

2) How to setup Apps2SD. Make sure you have a ext2/3/4 partition on your sdcard and run SpareParts and check the appropriate boxes.



That`s it!
