Do Not Bother xdandroid devs, with fillrate or hw3d being faster on donut than on eclair, plz they are not mages, stuff dont just magically work out of no were
Here's what iv been working on, for about a week, its Donut 1.6 AOSP, this rom includes only 2 extra apps aside from the google ones, Since this is based on AOSP i tried to leave it as clean as possible, except of course for the theme i made for it.
This ROM Should pretty much as Stable as Android can get on our Devices, it is also very fast since its based on Donut(no fillrate). If you find any bugs report them on this thread, i will try as best i can to fix it. And yes i know the Date in the status bar is still Default color(black) i will fix it as soon as i find the exact place to change it.

Ok now Screen Shots:
Whats Working:
Wifi
Gsensor: (to some extent))
hw3d:
SIM Syncing:
Mass Storage: (For this to work use massstoragerootfs.zip, and replace it with default one, Be warned mass storage is buggy once you mount the SDcard you cannot unmount it, also after you do mount it android will keep mounting the sdcard regardless you want to or not.(this was not made/found out by me it was by gm112, also you have to put the device in active sync mode with usb cable pluged in and then boot android, if not this wont work)

well for starters the overall speed of donut is just awesome, there other thing is that there is no fillrate on donut so 3dapps,games and 2d games also don't have that slowness and stutter you get in eclair/froyo(they both lack fillrate or should i say a fixed fillrate?) phh would know how to explain fillrate better than me, but anyways basically it stops the screen from filling extra pixels, Do too our screen being vga. This slows down 3dapps considerably, if you want to see this just run lets say Raging Thuder 2 you will notice how fast it is in donut, and how it stutters and seems like a jpg slideshow on elcair/froyo

Ah, makes sense. I didn't know that stuff about the fillrate either, good info. If only phh could dump all his knowledge into a wiki on a daily basis...
On first impression - very fast, wow! Also, 3g internet works out of the box. Can't seem to get GPS workin tho. Seems like it may be disabled completely, if I only have the GPS option enabled under Security & Location, Google Maps tells me that I need to enable a My Location source in system settings. Tried also allowing the option to let Google use my location to help their services, didn't make a difference. I never see the GPS icon in the notification bar either.
Still amazed at how fast this build is. Very nice! We'll see how battery life is next. It does seem to be going into deep sleep correctly (I get the 'breathe' LEDs...)

yea its seems that gps is not working, im gona have to talk to phh about this, im almost shure that gps is only enabled for eclair/froyo not for donut im not shure, i guess google maps works because of triangulation
edit: iv talked to stinebd and phh, they say libhardware-legacy need to be backported for donut in order for gps to work, so that i cannot fix sorry
Cool, thanks. I'll try running this for the remainder of the day to see how battery stacks up. There are a few things I've been missing from newer builds, but for the most part this build is awesome!

Well the phone is still chuggin. Only issues I've ran into so far are the GPS problems I stated earlier, and ADW keeps getting a force close error every hour or two.
I like LauncherPro better, but that's just personal preference. ADW seems alright, but the random crashes are a little obnoxious. Not that LauncherPro is perfect either

I actually prefer stock over anything else. Any program cooked in seems to be more of a hassle, and limits choice the user has.
On another front, I have almost 4hr uptime with 26% battery reported left. That's... probably about what I've gotten with the other ones. With a lot of standby, I could probably stretch it to 7-9 hrs. Not bad, but with heavy usage it depletes pretty quickly... So no marked improvement over other builds, but certainly not any worse either

It has no Live Wallpaper support because it's still alpha release.
And this feature has lower priority than other stuff that have to be fixed.

It won't have live wallpaper anytime soon. They are not worth fixing because they drain battery crazy fast and are darn slow on our devices. I think they were disabled on purpose in FroYo.

Hi, dedalum!
On Blackstone BT does not work, wifi and data works, camera.... I'll test it! (I think it wont work) --Tested, but the news are bad!
The old kernels does not work with Gingerbread, so camera does not work, yet!
I tried two different kernels, for the camera testing and for the anti-audio stuttering MOD, in the both cases it cant reach the homescreen.
As nasko_spasko mentioned, camera seems out of reach for the moment...
I also asked in VirusCrazy's camera testing thread, and he also gives Gingerbread "low chance", something for the future...
But I should add that there is (probably more than one) kernel out here that fixes audio stuttering, I'm using Gingerbread with a modified 1253 kernel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11169582&postcount=76
Audio and Wifi great, battery life ~ 20-30 hours (using periodic data for ClockSynch and some weather sync, but nothing else)
Cheers,
Robbert

The audio is the most important issue for me.
I have GBX0A running with 1255 kernel. It's the only one that doesn't give me audio-stuttering since Gingerbread won't boot with the 1498 kernel.
The latest kernels 1260/1262 both work but give audio-stutter.
Only thing i'd like is a new rootfs with keymapping for Blackstone like in the rootfs from 2011-01-31.
very nice build. i have one question though... why is the clock lazy?

Keyboard is a known issue.
Recommendation: get Thumb keyboard from Market. It's free and has different layouts and looks.
Fix for alignment squares: use old ts-calibration file from another build, or use the one attached below. Just remove the extension and put it in the same folder as haret and startup.

Use build in Japan IME. It has Latin characters on the numeric keyboard (like in non touchscreen phones). Should be enough to log into market and download gingerbread keyboard.

Or just put the apk inside the AndroidApps folder (it's inside the andboot one). It will auto-install at boot.

First, i'm not a developer so we need to cooperate alltogheter for win
I have a SGT European GSM, i don't know if those mods can be applicable to any CDMA device.
I fixed 2 apps for now:
Dialer, inside Contact.apk, mostly fixed only the dialpad, still need to fix Incoming/Outcoming calls
Calculator, fixed 100%
I have used this 2 great app :
[DPI] Dialer, MusicPlayer, Calc, FM, Camera + GUIDE +utility(kinda)
Apk Manager 4.9 - Makes Modifying Ur Apk A Breeze (Windows/Linux)
Inside these threads you will find how to use them.
What i modded:
Contact.apk-----> res/layout/dialer_app.xml
Calculator.apk---> res/layout/main.xml
Install them via Adb or rootexplorer.
This thread is meant for development, for people that wanna help for that purpose, do not put your request or whatever here.

Hello,
Those .apk works for all gsm rom ?
Thanks for your work
P.S Sorry my bad english :-(
They come from Alterbridge (Overcome)rom but they are stock apps Galaxy Tab, if Boyppc use that stock apps then they are good for you.
Make a backup of your old apps before, just to be sure.

Just FYI, pixel density is not the same as dpi. A lower pixel density leads to an increase in dots per inch.

Sorry, I should've said "LCD Density". Decreasing that increases PPI and DPI - well, perceptually anyway, the LCD is still fixed at 1024x600. Given that the actual screen is 6.0" x 3.5" (7.0" diag) that means a native PPI/DPI of approx 170. I've no idea how LCD density relates to these values - can someone explain?
The wiki page nicely explains why I always feel like I can fit more "stuff" onto a Windows desktop than an OS X one though

Sorry for bringing up a month old thread, but along with the screen density possibly being a factor, maybe it force closes due to Snapchat starting the app using the rear camera, which bviously we don't have. Maybe there is a way we can tweak it to set the FFC as default and maybe that will stop it from force closing?

thats a great idea i tried the current 1.6 version and i always have the same force quit after i log in so its nothing to do with the density since the app starts up normaly until i log in.
Well we can try the screen density idea make everything larger so its like a phone, if that works maybe somehow we can extract the application and MOD it for a 7' screen by changing the supported resolutions or DPI.
But if doing any of that doesn't work then we are out of luck unless someone can really change the app.

I've pulled the app from my phone and installed it on here. It'll force close after you sign in but then if you open it and receive a snap you can see the menu with all your history and even view the snap but if you try to take a snap it force closes so it must be because it defaults to the ffc
Anyone got it working on N7?

Nope. Sorry. I only have 1.6.0 and 2.1.0
Here's a link to check it out. Not sure if it works. If anybody wants to test out the APK, please report back with your results.
Thanks but the app is only installable on the ULTRA, MAXX, Mini, and Moto X.
it installs without problems, but doesn't appear in appdrawer, and playstore says it's incompatible with the One
I have installed the .apk, but can't start it, as it isn't present as an actual app. I think, we also need the settings app directly from the Moto X/Droid Series, in order to be able to set up the actual touchless cotrols app.
Application installed just fine on my Telus Galaxy S3 with CM10.2. Added the activities shortcut through Nova Launcher. Tried to launch each activity but it just crashed.
Rebooted and continuous errors.
There's something unique in Motorola's framework similar to TouchWiz/Sense etc. I know this is the HTC One forums, but I felt like trying it out

Here's a link to check it out. Not sure if it works. If anybody wants to test out the APK, please report back with your results.

Maybe we can try by changing the build.prop of the phone. We did the same with Facebook Home and it seemed to work. Anyone can try this out?

How did you get it to work? Tried all gestures and settings. Not working.

are you following me from phone to phone over the years? :silly:
i've got the air gestures half working (screen on, scroll through browser etc) gonna try and get the rest working later on...
as for motorola touchless control apk it will never work without the motorola chip inside
Touchless controls is going to require a Motorola Phone. It requires a specific low-core processor that allows the phone to be constantly listening, if we kept the mic in our phones on 24/7 without Motorola's specific hardware, our battery would die in 1 hour.

That would be the other way round.
I've tried to scroll browser with every gesture. Zilch.

here's the settings i've used, but it's very hit and miss... best way i've found is to sweep my left thumb near the charging light/mic

No luck. I give up. Had a couple of responses earlier, like opening browser when it was already opened and requesting root.
Have you guys tryd using a logcat to see what it keeps looking for before it crashes just saying then we could have a better understanding.

Talking of Tom Cruise, he's like Sense 5. Remember the sense on our desire? Sense 5 looks just like that. I wonder how mimi Rogers looks like standing next to him today.

I was at work and couldn't download it and play with it. I have since tried it (it failed for me too), and have done some more digging. Apparently, the Moto X has a core in it's processor made to do just this. We do not have that core. Looks like this is a lost cause...
Stop saying core! It's a DSP, noting 'core' about that. .
But yes, this is useless without that chip. There is a app on play store that does the same thing and you can even set the wake phrase ('Jarvis!'). Haven't tried it so I cannot comment on battery, but I'm sure it uses quite a bit.

Nexus 5
Is this going to be able to work with the nexus 5 because is has the same snapdragon 800 or will it still struggle? So disappointed the nexus 5 doesn't feature some of the moto x impressive features like touchless control and amazing battery. Otherwise it is a great phone!

Didn't anybody tell you? We're obliged to mess around with our phones, edit build.props, you know, stuff that could render our devices as, well.....paperweights really, just so the op can laugh at our expense.
How about OP, you install on your device, if it doesn't work....bad times, if it does work, post a solution. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it!
