Root Frankenrom is alive.

Awesome release as usual with you adryn. Keep up the great work! Best of luck in your classes as well!

P.S. Any way you could talk to koush about getting this put in ROM manager with some of your other ROMs? Just curious! :rolleyes:
 
As excited as I was for the CrystalClear ROM's Ruby release, to which I happily contributed and am proud to have done so-- I find myself not only back to Adrynalyn's ROMs, but a Sense-based build in general. Being forced to stay on Sense for the first few months of the Incredible's life (for lack of other options) has spoiled me in too many areas to stick with stock builds too long. As much as I admire and enjoy the source-built ROMs, to which I am eternally grateful to all the hard-working developers for, I've really found myself missing certain tweaks made by HTC, despite the features, speed, and customizations offered by the source-builts. HTC really does have some top-notch devs themselves, and I find myself reassured in my support of their devices. Every one has different needs and different preferences, and everyone working for the Android community has my deepest gratitude, but speaking purely for myself, FrankenROM seems to be the fit for me for now. So thanks again, Adryn, for taking time out of your day to make and continuously improve these ROMs for us, and into being a vital part of giving us so many choices. (And thanks for including the basic file manager in your ROMs, makes setting up so much easier.)

Thanks Adrynalyne. I have found that FrankenROM has become the everyday ROM for me. This release has only made it even more so. While you are missed on a day to day basis on the forums, I and many of the others here understand that life comes first. Good luck in your classes and other endeavors outside the forums.

Contagious - Love your bootanimation!

Yeah. Got sidetracked regarding that, but I will work on it.

By the way, if you guys want a newer kernel (newer source even), check my blog.

AFAIK, this is the only custom kernel out there for the DI that uses this version of the source code, which brings it in line with the official release.

Just another blog
 
It breaks mobile youtube. Thats why I don't use it.

AFAIK, all fixes break something or another. If I am wrong, I welcome someone to correct me.


You're correct....m.youtube.com fails to play videos but the Youtube app still works and plays videos. Good enough for me, since I use Pandora way more than I use youtube.
 
I have a fix as well I got from someone else, just do this:


if you root explorer its easy but it can be done through adb as well,

Change build.prop to fix it, if you edit /system/build.prop and change...

Change this:

media.stagefright.enable-http=true

...to...

media.stagefright.enable-http=false


works for me everytime I flash a FrankenROM.


so i downloaded root explorer and went into system and see the file but i dont now how to edit it to change it
 
You have to push the little button that says r/w to make the directory read writeable, its probably set to r/o - read only.


thank you! so i went into the text editor and changed what it said.. what is the bug with the audio? mine sounds kinda shitty is that the bug?

this did not work for me, wonder if i did something wrong.

if you don't make this change, at least for me and many others, Pandora and other streaming audio sounds like shit and Hulu has demon sounding voices. Once you change the true value to false as specified these are fixed back to normal but as noted a few posts above, youtube's mobile site, m.youtube.com. no longer plays video, however the Youtube app itself still worked just fine for me.
 
i changed build.prop line to false like you said then it auto saved the old to .bak. i checked hulu and it was still f'd so i rebooted and still no go. ehh no biggie, i just always like to be messing with something.

did you install the fixed flash apk then the hulu apk in teh sw_file folder on your SD card? if not, uninstall flash and hulu, go into the sw_file folder on your card, install the fixed flash apk then the hulu apk.
 
Sheeesh....I started the DL on my phone, then kept trying it on my laptop for the eighth time. On the LT it stalled a few times and had to be paused and restarted, but on my last attempt, both the phone and LT completed the DL at just about the same time. And both MD5s checked out....all I can do is roll my eyes. Now it's playtime though.

yea still no work.
 
Adryn i really like this rom. I have been flashing your roms since you started pumping them out for the DrInc and i must say i have been happy with all of them. This one is very very well done. i was using the fourth wave but i figured hey, why not give frankenrom some love because i was using it back in the B2 phase and so on. Anyway, everything works great so far. I cant get hulu to work but audio for pandora and youtube work great so i dont really want to mess with it. I really like the custom boot screen, very nice. I actually like it better than the Inc eye i had before. Thanks again for the roms.
 
Great ROM. Switched from 4th wave to this last night. Phone stats are as follows.

9h 11m 39s since uplugged
2h:04m:33s awake

68% battery life remaining

25% Cell standby
26% Phone idle
20% Voice calls
10% Bluetooth
12% Android System
5% Display
2% Maps

Stock Franken-kernel is getting me from 15% to fully charged in 4.5 hours. Not bad.

OEM HTC 1500 mah battery

No stability issues. Love the more accurate bars.
