Thanks Ken and dots, I appreciate the help. My major concern was in using romcenter but since drellisdee's will work I am good to give it a shot. Downloading as I type this.

Does anyone know if the universal androot and the velocity0.2 rom still work with the update?

You can still use androot after the OTA update because I just did it.
 
Thank you so much for this ROM. I just rooted, downloaded and installed yesterday after doing some research for a few days to make sure I understand all of this lol. I'll be sending a donation in the near future, I really appreciate all of your hard work and I look forward to future versions =)
 
Any chance you'll be using the kernel drellisdee released a few days ago in V0.3, Trident?
I saw that you were one of the testers for it, so I figured I'd ask!
 
Ok. So I'm going to try to install the stock V8 rom from Trident through Rom Manager, then do the OTA 2.1 update and afterwards, try to root and reinstall Velocity V0.2. I have everything backed up but I'm still rather nervous. I'll repost how it goes or if I have to reflash a back-up. I just can't stand being interupted anymore with the stupid update message and having to tell it to install later!! Fingers crossed!!

You can't do the update. You have a custom recovery, and that blocks the instation of the update.
 
Hopefully someone can give me a clue about what I may be doing wrong. I've followed the above directions .....the V2 is installed and boots fine. Problem is, the Market app icon was there but when I clicked it gave me a message it was not installed. So I pulled it up through Astro and reinstalled it...seems it did not install somewhere along the way.

So all seems fine, except my physical "End" and the physical "Home" buttons do not work?!? I did a full recovery back to stock and tried the buttons...they function fine. So I completed the process again and the same thing happened.

Any ideas?
 
So iptables should work now? Im trying to use droid wall and it wont work. Can anyone else verify? I don't have unlimited data. Currently i have all data dissabled. I want to use droid wall to just enable mms.
 
I've been running Velocity 0.2 for about a week and a half now, and I just wanted to come in and say thanks, Trident. This really is a huge improvement on the Ally. I've finally set everything (widgets, homescreens, etc) up the way I want, and I'm able to get a lot more out of the phone than I could previously. It's responsive and stable and generally a pleasure to use.

I have noticed one or two minor glitches that I wanted to mention, in case there is anything that can be done about them for 0.3.

First, the scripts don't appear to remount /system read only, as I mentioned in the script thread. I'm not sure if you are still checking that thread.

Second, I can use the Video player app you included (and it works very well - it's one of the things I'm most happy about), but it doesn't have an icon in the Application Launcher, so I can't launch it directly. The only way I've been able to launch it is by selecting a video in ASTRO.

As I understand it, this has to do with how the app was coded (no intent filter with the android.intent.category.LAUNCHER category), so I don't think there's anything you can do about that, but I just wanted to make sure that that was expected.

Thanks again for your work on this. It's completely changed my opinion of the device.
 
so has anybody running Velocity 0.2 figured out how to stop the "system update" messages from showing up every 30 minutes?

It's not a deal breaker for me, as I just keep hitting the "install later" button while I await version 0.3.
