Now Supporting The HTC Droid Incredible

The good folks over at RootzWiki sent me an HTC Droid Incredible a while back in hopes that my ROM series would one day be seen on it. I spent the past few nights working like a mad man, needless to say GPA18 nightlies have began! As of now, the camcorder does not work but I will be working on fixing it soon.  Everything else seems to be working great. So great that I have actually put down my Nexus S for the past few days. Since I am new to this device, please help spread the word about my ROM.

Now to go enjoy my birthday with friends!

New Nightly Build Up

Last night I worked on the build a bit, getting it ready to compile Android 2.3.7 when kernel.org comes back up. There is a new build available for all the devices I support (Droid, Nexus S, Nexus S 4G). Changes include all the new 2.3.7 G-Apps, new proprietaries for Nexus S and Nexus S 4G, all the files necessary for Google Wallet, and also a few bug fixes in the framework. To download the build visit my downloads page: download.peteralfonso.com

Note:

• Google Wallet will not work until I am able to compile Android 2.3.7
• Build number will display GWK74 although it is still truly GRJ90
• This is a "nightly" build, if you want a "stable" build use GPA17 

As always, to see exact changes visit my github. One more thing, if you wan't to see my ROM on the Nexus One and will sell one to me for cheap or are willing to donate one please contact me!

Blah, Blah, Blah...Random

I have been getting the same questions on Twitter and Google+ so rather than continue to answer each individually I will just ramble about some things here. First I'd like to thank each of you who are running my builds, reading through the positive comments makes all the time and effort worth it. For those who have donated, another HUGE thank you. Each and every donation makes being a busy college student that much easier. Did you realize you helped buy my text books?

Considering you are reading this post, it is safe to assume you are an Android fiend. Needless to say, Android 2.3.7 came out yesterday debuting on the Nexus S 4G. Many are under the assumption that some of these Gingerbread updates will not benefit every Android device. I can see where this confusion comes from considering the release notes given to the public do not go into detail and are written only for Google's Gingerbread flagship device, the Nexus S:

• 2.3.1 - updated Google Maps
• 2.3.2 - sms sent to wrong contact bug fix
• 2.3.3 - random reboot bug fix, additional NFC functionality, color adjustments
• 2.3.4 - Google Talk with video
• 2.3.5 - additional NFC support, improved WiMAX speed
• 2.3.6 - Voice Search bug fix
• 2.3.7 - addition of Google Wallet

I admit, before I began building ROMs from source, I would have probably assumed the same. With time comes knowledge and now I know otherwise. With each incremented version comes many, at times hundreds, of changes to Android. These changes may fix bugs, improve code, improve security, etc. Android source is being changed on a daily basis, not only by developers working for Google but also by users wanting to contribute to its "open source". So next time a Nexus device get's an update that increments the Android version, you too should be excited! 

At this point, some may have wondered what a "flagship" device is when I mentioned it earlier. These are devices that debut with the latest version of Android (no other devices have it at the time). For example the Motorola Droid (Eclair), HTC Nexus One (Froyo), Samsung Nexus S (Gingerbread), and the Motorola Xoom (Honeycomb). These devices also are always vanilla Android, meaning no skins such as MotoBlur, Sense UI, Touchwiz, etc. This being said, let's discuss what we know about the next Nexus device for certain. It will debut with IceCream Sandwich, will be vanilla Android, and will most likely come out late October. Now dismiss the rumors about a Nexus device having TouchWiz or any other skin; if the phone coming out on Verizon with IceCream Sandwich has a skin, it is not a Nexus!

Now that you know Android 2.3.7 will benefit your device, I am sure you are eager to head over to download.peteralfonso.com and get the latest nightly that will update your device to it. Unfortunately my builds have stopped since August 30th because Android source is no longer readily available to sync with. This is due to kernel.org (where Android source is hosted) being hacked. Google and those at kernel.org are hard at work trying to get things back up and running. As soon as this happens you can bet I will be just as excited as you for a new update and will be working on ROMs for all the devices I support.

For my friends with a Nexus S 4G, if you do not follow me on Twitter you probably did not see me release stock rooted Android 2.3.7 ROMs (deodexed and odexed) within an hour of the OTA update. You can find these ROMs as well as the new radio and OTA update files on download.peteralfonso.com/crespo4g

If you read this entire post you can probably understand why I didn't know what to title it.

Download: GPA17 (Gingerbread Peter Alfonso) Android 2.3.5

As you may have seen me mention on Twitter, I have recently moved to start a new semester at UCF. That being said, you can imagine how busy my life has become. This is going to be one of my hardest semesters yet so I need to prioritize and manage my time well to succeed. Because of this, I no longer have as much time to work on ROMs and kernels as I once did over the summer. This does not mean I will be stopping development completely, it simply means it will be at a much slower rate. Please do not ask for an E.T.A. on my next release because I will not respond.

I had a lot more plans for GPA17 but because of the reasons mentioned above, I am having to release a bit early. I assure you that you will still find this build to be everything you have come to love in the GPA series.

For those not familiar with this ROM series, some of it's features include:

• 180 degree rotation
• Overclockable kernel
• CPU toolkit (can be removed by deleting "Toolkit.apk")
• FLAC audio support
• Ad-hoc network support
• Facebook sync
• Reboot option
• "Copy All" text option
• Low battery sound toggle
• Modified widget picker
• Headset/headphone icon in statusbar
• Latest Google apps
• Busybox
• Bug fixes/code improvement from CyanogenMod

I would also like to announce with the release of GPA17 that my ROM is now fully open source. For those interested in compiling my ROM please visit the following link for instructions on how to begin: https://github.com/peteralfonso/platform_manifest 

If you have fully read this entire post and have made it here, I'd like to thank you with the download links!

GPA17:

Crespo | Crespo4G | Sholes

*Note: Wipe data/cache (factory reset) if this is the first time installing a ROM from this series*

When I do find some time for Android, I will be working on a changelog and I will post it here when it is complete.

Now Supporting Nexus S 4G

I am pleased to announce that I am now supporting the Nexus S 4G as well as the Droid. This ROM will be released alongside my Droid build titled "GPA17". Until then you can find it in "nightly" form in the following directory: http://wonderly.com/bb/CRESPO4G/ROM/BETA/ (choose the latest file)

Some features include but are not limited to:

• 180 degree rotation
• Overclockable to 1.4GHz
• Voodoo support
• Updated wifi driver
• CPU Toolkit
• FLAC audio support
• Native 3G tethering
• Ad-hoc network support
• Facebook sync
• Reboot option
• Modified widget picker

There are also many performance tweaks and bug fixes which you can find change by change on my github. For those of you who run CyanogenMod, now that I support this device I have began submitting patches to help out. In the future I plan on supporting the other Nexus S variants (T-Mobile & AT&T) as well.

Recommendations:

Upon initial install of this ROM, please wipe data and cache. When a new build becomes available, you will only need to wipe dalvik cache. For the best experience, stick with the kernel provided in my build, I assure you it performs very well. If you are interested in saving tons of battery life, downclock to 800MHz in the CPU Toolkit, you will see little to no difference in performance.

Sorry this post does not read well, I am sick at the moment and not in the proper mindset to write.

GPA17 Beta Testing Now Live

As you may have heard the other day on Droid-Life, my latest nightlies for GPA17 are up for testing! These will update your Droid to Android 2.3.5 and update the kernel to 2.6.32.43. Changes from Android 2.3.4 to Android 2.3.5 are mostly bug fixes, if interested you can see these on my github.

As for the kernel, well I have had it in my mind to try to update it for a while but always thought it would fail miserably. I was pretty stressed out today after class so I needed something to work on to get my mind off things. A few hours later I am presenting you with the most advanced Droid kernel to date in my GPA17 nightly build. I say the most advance because this kernel is newer than any other by 34 subversions! Once I release my V0.4 kernels, flashing anything else will simply be a downgrade.

EDIT: After fixing an sdcard bug another bug appeared, this time causing random reboots upon selecting airplane mode. I am reverting to the old kernel until I have more time to look into fixing this issue.

If you do not already have the link to my beta folder bookmarked, here it is again:

Download: Gingerbread (Android 2.3.4) ROM Update GPA16

Exactly one month ago I released GPA15. This month, GPA16 will update your Droid to Android 2.3.4 as well as add Ad-hoc network and FLAC audio support. Other changes include bug fixes/code improvement, such as the data loss fix by CVPCS and a new kernel by me. To make things a bit easier, I have added all of the latest Google applications including Market and Google Chat with video.

For those of you who do not know, my GPA builds are a series of ROMs built to replicate what would have been an "official" update from Motorola. To the end user this simply means that this ROM will appear completely stock. What most do not realize is I have many tweaks and improvements "under the hood", making this ROM extremely fast yet completely stable. I have also added small features such as a reboot option and 180 degree rotation. Word on the streets is that there is a hidden feature available and only Droid-Life has the file to unlock it...

Changelog coming soon, school/work has me quite busy.

Download: Updated Motorola Boot Logo For Droid

If we are going to run Gingerbread on our OG Droids then we might as well have the latest Motorola logo right? Exactly why I thought I should spend some time making this. Sorry for the blurry photo, the resolution of the logo on the device is perfect.

Download: Stock Rooted Gingerbread (Android 2.3.3) ROM Update GPA15

Seems like its been forever since my last release, sorry for the delay. Been pretty busy the past few weeks, finished the Spring semester at UCF, moved back home, and got a job. I'm actually quite tired and no words of wisdom are coming to me to share with you all so I will make this short. Basically GPA15 is the shit, check the changelog for details!

GPA16 will be Android 2.3.4 if you were wondering.

Note: If you have no sound when making a call, you need to reboot once. Also note, if you wish to overclock you need to install the "AutoOverclock.zip" from my kernel post.

GPA15 Progress & Beta Testing

I know by now the fiends are itching for a new release, I just want to assure you your fix is coming soon. GPA15 squashes many bugs and is available for "preview" for those having withdrawals. These preview builds are known as "nightlies". As you can see I try to upload one every night, but at times I get too busy:

http://wonderly.com/bb/DROID/ROM/BETA/

Before downloading and installing, you need to understand that these are not "stable" builds, meaning it is likely that things may not work as expected. On the contrary, you may find it to run better than anything you have ever used. For those wanting to test and report issues, I ask the following:

1) Be very familiar with the rooting, custom recoveries, flashing roms, etc
2) Wipe data and cache (more than once) before installing the beta build
3) Not restore data (start fresh, download each app individually)
4) Use only the default kernel provided in the beta build
5) Not modify the beta build in any way (removing apps, themeing, etc)
6) Run only the latest baseband available (C_01.43.01P)
7) Run only the latest nightly build available
8) Fully read release notes/changelog before flashing beta build

Feedback and questions are to be posted on DroidForums in this thread:

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/bugless/134556-rom-beta-stock-gingerbread-android-2-3-3-build-gpa15.html

As far as the stable release of GPA15, if no new issues appear in the nightly builds all I have left to do is update my kernels to V0.2. To keep an eye on the list of changes, check out the changelog.

Download: Stock Rooted Gingerbread (Android 2.3.3) ROM Update GPA14

It's about that time again isn't it? Perhaps the most important aspects of this updated build are the FRG83G proprietaries and the adjustments made to the way Gingerbread manages RAM. As mentioned in a previous post, "Unfortunately not every file on the Droid can be built from source. Because of this, "proprietary" files are used."  

Gingerbread was never intended to run on devices with less then 256MB of RAM, such as the Droid. This is made evident by the way applications will randomly close or stop syncing, they are being "kicked out" of memory. For example, on previous Gingerbread builds (not only including mine), if a user had music playing in the background and later opened a few more apps, the music would stop playing. Issues such as these are now resolved due to the adjustments I have made. Now user can multitask as much as they would expect an Android device to be able to. As an added bonus, you can expect to see alot less homescreen redraws.

One of my favorite things about Nexus devices is that they always receive the latest updates, including apps. More often then not, when an app is updated on this device, it is not available in the Market yet. This gives rooted users an opportunity to run the latest versions before others even get news of it. In GPA14 you will find the latest Street View and Google Search apps not available in the Market yet. When you download all of the Google apps from the Market, be sure to not download Street View and Google Search because you will overwrite the new version with the "old" Market version.

Other changes including updates and bug fixes are included in this release so be sure to check out the changelog for full details.

Download: FRG83G Motorola Droid 1 Update

The Droid community heard news of this update all the way back in January. "A limited number of owners will receive the update as part of a pre-launch 'soak' test before it’s more widely released. This has become standard practice, so we can observe for a few days to make sure there are no hidden problems before wide release", Matt stated, manager of the Motorola Owners Forum. As you may have seen, MyDroidWorld leaked this "test" update before it was officially released OTA (over the air) giving us a glimpse of what it may bring. For those who flashed the leaked "test" update or were included in the pre-launch OTA, you will still be notified to receive the official "release" FRG83G now that all bugs have been worked out. The official "release" OTA started on March 9th and will update your Droid to Android 2.2.2. As noted by Verizon Wireless Droid support .pdf, this update will fix some mms/sms issues users were reporting.

So why care about this update when you have GPA ROMs to enjoy?  Unfortunately not every file on the Droid can be built from source. Because of this, "proprietary" files are used. These files are pulled directly from your device so it is very important to have the latest ones available, in this case FRG83G. Although the release notes for this update state that only mms/sms issues were addressed, the official OTA .zip shows much more being patched. Rather than contemplating for hours about what has or has not been changed from one release to another, I would much rather just be certain and include the latest proprietaries in my ROMs. That being said, expect them in GPA14.

"Pete you're slacking, you should have had these FRG83G ROMs in your downloads section the night of March 9th." I know, I know...For some reason this update has been very hard to get. I sure do miss the days when people were eager to post the Droid 1 OTA files or download urls taken from logcats. I put my development Droid back to stock using RSDLite and an sbf file but I still could not get it to receive the update. Usually, and even stated in official documents, you can "force" the update by going to Settings > About phone > System updates, but this did not work. Fortunately, Twitter followers Jonassink and DizkoDan wanted to help. After spending some time on Gtalk with each, I was able to guide them through the process required to get the system and OTA files dumped. I then took these files and created stock rooted ROMs out of them, one odexed and the other deodexed.

Before posting the download links for this update, I'd like to end on a lighter note. Check out the graphic of the Droid 1 in the update support .pdf. What a major FAIL! For starters the Droid 1 has never ran Donut (Android 1.6) as shown on the screen. Also note the "Advanced Task Killer" application in the top left. Pretty funny stuff. I can count the hours of Photoshop experience I have on one hand and I know I could have made a better graphic!

Download: Stock Rooted Gingerbread (Android 2.3.3) ROM Update GPA13

Over the past week, the Android team at Google pushed Gingerbread version 2.3.3 to AOSP (Android Open Source Project). Unfortunately I couldn't immediately work on it because of being busy with school but now I am on spring break and have found some time. Although the end user may not notice a difference between the two versions, I assure you much coding has changed. So much in fact that Live Wallpapers no longer worked and delayed this release until I could pinpoint the culprit.

Now that I have learned to compile kernels, I have made a 600MHz, stock voltage kernel that eliminates all the lag users have experienced running Gingerbread on the Droid. Before, audio would stutter, wake time would be delayed, and nothing felt "fluid" unless clocked to atleast 1GHz. With this new kernel, none of those issues occur. How I have achieved this with a 600MHz kernel came to me while I was half  asleep (not sure if this is good or bad, but ideas and thoughts related to Android run through my head until I finally fall asleep every night). Being that this kernel is stock voltage, I highly recommend flashing my low voltage 600MHz kernel (if your device can handle the voltage decrease) to save battery life. Let's hope a Motorola employee flashes this ROM, sees how well it runs without being over-clocked, and decides to push an official Gingerbread update!

Aside from updating the entire ROM to Android 2.3.3, I have also updated the Market application to 2.3.4 and added the native Quick Office application that comes on Droid devices. For details about changes between each release, please read my changelog. Although the changelog may seem "simple" please realize that hours and hours of work are put into each release.

Once again I will mention, no Market applications are included in this ROM. Once you install this ROM you will need to download the following: YouTube, Gmail, Street View, Voice Search, Maps, Flash Player, Talkback, Kickback, and Soundback. Once Gmail is installed, allow it to auto sync by changing the following setting: Menu > Settings > Accounts & sync > example@gmail.com > Sync Gmail

If you experience any problems at all wipe data and cache!

Kernel Input Needed

If you haven't realised it yet, I am a perfectionist. This trait has been instilled in me since I was a child by my dad. Because of that, I want to not just make a kernel, but make a great kernel. I have created a chart (using Google Docs) comparing the voltage levels/values of each popular "Low Voltage" kernel who's source is available. I want your input on what values I should use for my kernel. Keep in mind if the voltage is too low it may become unstable. The lower the voltage value, the lower the overall power consumption. Should I take the average, should I go with the lowest value, should I make a new value, should I round high or low? What do you think? Comment below and let me know...

Update (2-21-11): After conducting more research on modifying kernels I have compiled another one that I am quite happy with. So far it is running amazing on my Droid. I disabled more debugging, added cpu temp monitoring, changed the slots to 225, 450, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, and appended _1GHz_LV to the kernel version. I thought compcache would be included in this release but it looks like it will have to wait until the next one. The lowest slot is still below stock at 250 yet seems to be a perfect minimum to eliminate the lag we experience in Gingerbread. I have tried 125, 175, and 200 as minimum slots but they just don't do the trick. Based on the chart below, I have selected what I think are great low voltage values for stability and less power consumption. After more trial runs and feedback from you all I will publish my values. This kernel is in Koush's anykernel.zip format meaning it will work on any Gingerbread ROM. Once again, I would like to thank RaidZero for helping me with my questions.

Update in my latest post!

Download: 900MHz Overclocked Gingerbread Kernel

Who dares test my first kernel? If you are willing let me go ahead and state a disclaimer, flash this at your own risk! I will not be held responsible if your phone explodes, catches on fire, your girlfriend dumps you, etc. I literally just made this kernel so I have not had time to fully test it, things may be broken! Having said that, this kernel still needs a few features, but I think for my first effort, its pretty darn good. After flashing many kernels through the time I have owned my Droid I have never been satisfied with the slots available, so I modified the slots to my liking; 175, 275, 400, 500, 600, 750, and 900 MHz. I have included all of the popular scaling  governors; interactive, conservative, userspace, powersave, ondemand, and performance. For now, the voltage levels remain completely stock, I feel I need to educate myself a bit more before I decide what levels I will be satisfied with. For those of you running my stock Gingerbread ROM this kernel will automatically set is maximum frequency to 900 and its minimum frequency to 175 at boot via a script I created. The default governor that will be applied is ondemand. If you wish to change any of these settings you may need a cpu application such as "SetCPU" by Michael Huang. Again, for those on my ROM, typing "cpuinfo" into the terminal will print out a list of details that you may be interested in. Future features will come with time, compcache, processor temperature reporting, and time in state stats, are on the priority list.

Please note that this .zip is not in the "anykernel.zip" format by Koush meaning it was created to work on my Gingerbread ROM. If you flash this on someone else's Gingerbread ROM, it may not work. This will absolutely not work on any Froyo ROM so do not even try it. Also note, this will only work on the Droid 1, if you try to flash it on any other device it will fail.


Special thanks goes out to raidzero for answering my questions! Apparently I was compiling the wrong wifi module at first, no wonder it wasn't working...

Download: Stock Rooted Gingerbread (Android 2.3.2) ROM Update GPA12

Once again, my stock Gingerbread ROM has been updated, bringing the build number to GPA12. The changes in this build mainly consist of perfecting a few things myself and others have noticed. I used Google Maps alot this past week and realised the screen was not as bright as I would like it to be while driving in the sun. Because of this I raised the maximum brightness value to take advantage of its full potential. While digging around in the source code I noticed the blur effect/animation was disabled so I went ahead and enabled it. An Android community member by the name of "blunden" noticed that the Desk Clock (Alarm Clock) app was missing some Gingerbread images so I added those. The MMS app only allowed a user to send 100 txt messages per hour which is too low for those of you who may text non stop so I increased the amount to 200. Some users requested that I increase the wifi scan interval to save some battery life so I went ahead and brought it to 45 seconds from 15. Since there will be no true "OTA" Gingerbread updates from Motorola I removed the "System updates" preference screen. I was notified that the built in usb tethering does not work on the Droid so I also removed its preference screen. If you would still like to use usb tethering download and install "Wired Tether For Root Users". If you look at the screen timeout options list in the Display settings you may notice a large jump between 2 and 10 minutes, to resolve this I have added a 5 minute option. Lastly, I have included the latest version of the Market (2.3.2) and Superuser apps. This will most likely be my last stock build until more Droid specific bug fixes are found or until Google pushes an updated version of Gingerbread. Do not take that as bad news, that simply means I can start working on Bugless Beast! For those of you who are new to this ROM I highly recommend that you read all three of my post on this site before installing. Sorry about the content of this post not flowing well together, I am pretty tired tonight and this type of information is better read in a changelog that will come soon.

No need to wipe if coming from GPA09 or greater.

Download: Stock Rooted Gingerbread (Android 2.3.2) ROM

I would like to present to you a clean stock Gingerbread (Android 2.3.2) ROM. Although this build is stock, I spent many hours modifying it to my liking. First off let me start by saying compiling Gingerbread for the Droid is a pain, goodluck to those who are attempting this process. On that note, I would like to say thank you to actngrezy for answering my questions about Gingerbread specific compiling. Secondly, but no less important, I would like to say thank you to the CyanogenMod community, specifically the maintainers for the Droid, cvpcs, mtwebster, and koush. Without the efforts of this community we (Droid users) would not have a stable, fully functional Gingerbread build.

So how is this build different from other Gingerbread ROMs?

For starters, this build was made using the master branch of the AOSP only two days ago, meaning it not only brings you to version 2.3.2 but it also has the latest bug fixes included. Once you flash this ROM you will immediately see how much time I spent making this build exactly how Motorola would have provided it to you (if they still supported our "old" device). This ROM has the stock signature Droid boot animation, ringtones, wallpaper set, 2D Launcher, and Neural Network live wallpaper. Additionally, I have implemented many of my own bug fixes and others provided by the development community. I also went ahead and enabled the Sound Recorder and Camcorder shortcuts because I find them useful.

Since Motorola will never "officially" provide the Droid with a Gingerbread build, we will never have accurate build numbers (e.g. FRG83) to go by. Because of this I have decided to create my own build numbers and always maintain an updated stock build for the Droid here on my website in the Downloads section. Upon installing this ROM, you will notice a build number of GPA10. The first letter stands for Gingerbread, second letter Peter, third letter Alfonso, and a number that will increase as I release future updated builds.

This ROM is to be treated as if it were an update straight from Motorola. For those learning to develop or those who base their ROMs off of stock builds you may use this ROM, modify it, and distribute it as your own. I do ask that you provide a link to my website wherever you distribute it. Also, please do not reupload this ROM elsewhere if you have not modified it in any way. I would like to keep track of the download count.

If you have not read about the amazing features that Gingerbread brings, I encourage you to visit android.com to learn more. While you're there you may notice that Android 2.3.3 is on its way, when it hits the source tree, I will bring it to you. Also, don't forget that the new market.android.com is now live and works well with this ROM. Most importantly, be sure to give Google a "thank you" by setting you and you're friends home page to Google.com!

I did not include ANY market apps in this ROM other than Car Home (because I included an updated version not available in the Market yet) and Quick Search Box (if you do not include this app, the search key will not work properly). Having said that, after the installation I recommend downloading YouTube, Gmail, Street View, Voice Search, Maps, and Flash Player. For those of you wanting a boost of performance without the need of a CPU scaling application, download and install AutoOverClock.zip which will bring this ROM to 800mhz. If you decide to flash an alternate kernel, it will automatically overclock itself to the highest available slot.

Ok, I am done rambling...follow me on Twitter and enjoy!

Download: Gingerbread Keyboard With Extra Features (Updated 1-19-10)

Many of you enjoyed the port I did of the Gingerbread keyboard a while back so I decided to modify it a bit with intentions on including it in Bugless Beast. Before doing so I need this tested thoroughly....
  
Features:

Gingerbread Easter Egg Found....And Added To Bugless Beast!

Earlier this week an "Easter Egg" was found in Gingerbread. For those who don't know, an "Easter Egg" is a hidden item found in the system, in this case it was a zombie/android painting by Jack Larson. This image is accessible by repeatedly clicking the "Android version" property in the "About phone" menu. I thought this was really neat so I decided to add it to Bugless Beast V0.6.2.2

Edit: For some reason this is breaking the browser, school is starting this Monday so I am not sure when I will get time to fix this.
