Root New "Bugless" 2.01+2.1 apps ROM...

GrandMasterB said:
Just to be sure we understand each other when I unzip the rar I get a folder called BDS-20100119-0608 and inside that folder is another folder called BDS-20100119-0608 and inside that are the image files, hence double BDS folders. Make sure you have extracted the downloaded rar, that you dont have double folders and that you have the BDS folder placed inside the nandroid folder. Then follow Petes step by step instuctions including wiping before installation.

When I unzip i get 4 separate files that are placed in my nandroid folder. I get system.tar
boot.img
data.tar
nandroid.md5

I think this is wrong how do I go from unzipping the .rar on my desktop to having a ROM in my nandroid folder?

I had an issue with this with one of the downloads. I think it comes down to the way pete zips the files up.

I just looked at the name of the ROM File and created a folder with that name on it (see fabolous's examples above for what it should be similar to) and put all four files in it, then just moved that folder over and it found it when doing the nandroid backup.

If you go in the nandroid folder of your phone using root explorer or astro, you'll see that they're all named as such.

Thanks for the info...but I ain't buyin' in. ;)

I should clarify what I was asking...

1. Start a new message in Handcent (tap the new message icon at the top of the conversation list). Then tap the + icon to the right of the "To field" right on the following screen, to display your contacts list. Do your contacts all display in the scrollable list? Didn't work on 8.3, doesn't work on 8.4 either, for me. Contacts tab is empty, Groups and Recent are populated.

2. If your contacts have facebook pictures sync'd to them, do the facebook pics display in Handcent? Didn't work on 8.3, doesn't work on 8.4 either, for me.

In Handcent I get proper display of my contacts w/pics, facebook sync'd ones show up as expected...

Thanks for confirming...

I'm also still having intermittent problems w/auto-brightness...

1. I have that same behavior. I don't consider it an issue, because I just start typing a name in the to field and it comes up with the matches.

2. It does link the facebook pictures once you send a message.

Never had an issue with #2 on any of my Pete Roms. Never looked for issue 1 before. ;)

I have no idea on how to go about what you just said to do. You looked at the name of what ROM File?
 
In a way, I'm grateful that BB had these Handcent issues, because when they first started showing up, I switched to Chomp and haven't looked back.

I like how customizable it is, and I feel it is slightly quicker overall (though it makes little difference at 1GHz). Also, I don't find the pop up notification any less useful than Handcent's.

But I'm glad everyone got their Handcent issues sorted out.
 
That update works, however it broke my wifi, so I reflashed 0.8.4. I don't want to apply that wifi fix if I don't have to, so I'm sticking with the sort of broken handcent. I don't use the stock music player anyway.

Roll your mouse over the nandroid backup file before you download it.

It will be: BDS-20100130-1833.rar

When you unzip the .rar file you should have a folder called BDS-20100130-1833.rar with the 4 files you described in it. If not, just create a folder with that name, and move the 4 files in it.

It's just a quirk of how he packs the .rar file,

Why is the browser and gallery not pinch to zoom like it says on his page?

The browser is for me. The 2.1 gallery is not, but the media gallery is. Although I installed the 2.1 gallery apk myself. Maybe I should have removed it before flashing to 0.8.4.

Are you visiting a mobile version of a site? Because if so, you can't zoom in.

Try a full site such as these forums.

If it still isn't working, then you didn't do it right :D

Same here...I've flipped back and forth a few times and Chomp has been consistently quicker for me than Handcent.
 
Check out the Pete's new update.zip w/ Milestone's 3D music app.

Coverflow anyone?

Update killed my OC, had to reflash image. Did not have to re-fix wifi though.
 
Nice. I thought I had updated to 7.2, (by update.zip, not nandroid) but I can't find the milestone app. Any chance it has EQ? :D

It is VERY VERY cool -- but just know that you have to select "Artists" or "Albums" and turn to landscape mode to see the 3D effects. Otherwise, it looks almost exactly like the 2.0.1 player.

I must have done something wrong. I updated to 0.8.4, but I do not get the coverflow effect when I turn to landscape. :confused:

Good to know. I just ran a nandroid on beast 7.2, I was hesitant to run the update for the music app but I might give it a shot now. This rom seems pretty sweet.
