Root Gaosp

benner · Apr 5, 2010

I can see from their page how much work has been done on this project so far. It looks like a monumental effort from where I stand. The list of remaining stuff looks short and I guess the project is waiting for the source to be released to take the next steps, right? So let's say that the code is released tomorrow, is it still a huge task to finish things off (ie camera, 3D) or will things happen pretty quickly? The reason I ask is that my phone is currently running so slooowwwly that it is driving me nuts. (newest 1.6 release) I am trying to decide whether to reset and/or install the newest Galaxo or just wait a bit. I read somewhere here that the sources ought to be released the first week of April (if that actually happens) but I don't know if that means weeks or months for us.

Installed today (couldn't wait any more

).

It's usable, if you disable animations. And don't try restoring ANY system settings from 1.5 or 1.6 firmware. I tried restoring WiFi password - ended up reinstalling the whole fw, as wifi declined any attempts to even scan and just shut down

Rolled back to Galaxo 1.6.2.

Had some weird issue with flickering screen.

stephnd · Apr 12, 2010

so to install this GOASP beta 2.1 I can use ODIN? and then if I wanna switch back to 1.6 ODIN flash again? right?

you have to restore all your settings again. God Bless Titanium Backup.

Err, these two comments don't play well together. But really, all that I'd be interested in restoring would be my SMS history (everything else is just settings that can be set up again).

Can you save & restore your SMS messages after upgrading from 1.5? If so, how?

dryhte · Apr 13, 2010

I use SMS Backup & Restore SMS Backup & Restore - Android Stuff so if that's available on GAOSP it should be a piece of cake to get your sms history back

KlaymenDK · Apr 13, 2010

Great news, thanks. However, I seem to recall there was an update to the internal format that the messages are stored in?

Sorry, don't know about that (I didn't have the guts to try GAOSP yet)

Me neither!

But, reading up on that backup app, it says that the messages are stored in xml; I'm pretty sure that means that they are converted.

someone correct me if i'm wrong (because i really aren't sure), but afaik, while mustymod is done exactly like any other firmware update (via odin), installing gaosp is a little more involved than that

Mustymod is flashed with Odin.

GAOSP is flashed exactly (mostly) like Galaxo.

wtf does that mean?
any relation to the nutri-matic's "almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea"?

It is done from Drakaz's Recovery, but with slight differences, which you can find out if you go and read the instructions. I'm not going to retell them - what's' the point.

obviously no point; and obviously i wasn't suggesting you should, but was referring to the oxymoronic (and hence funny) use of the words exactly and mostly

oh, I see ) Sorry, I was sleepy and thought you were one of those, who don't ever care to read manuals )

I hope we'll see some progress on last couple serious issues (edit: camera, bluetooth, 3d, performance) now that the 2.6.29 kernel source has been released.

Does anyone know how active development is? Nothing much changes on the official website, to say the truth...

MichaelW · Apr 23, 2010

Well Drakaz' last tweet was "two new branch on git : gaosp-2.6.29 and galaxo-2.6.29. Still working on !"

I would hope we get a GAOSP beta2 to test next week

dryhte · Apr 23, 2010

So do I...

Not really interested in galaxo but gaosp might be where it's at...

KhaaL · Apr 24, 2010

Thats great, i thought GAOSP was going to be dead.

mrqs · May 10, 2010

does gaosp have the 710oc option like galaxo? what about swap and/or compache?

Not yet. The last version of GAOSP was before we got the sources for 1.6 so couldn't do any of those things.

Development seems to have stalled, Drakaz was really the only person developing it and he seems busy doing other things. I hope he'll get back to it soon.

I really like GAOSP... its awesome. but my phone gets all black suddenly.. can't unlock or anything. have to pull out the battery. :/
