Root Birdman's Froyo ROM released

[ilmar72]

Not strange - unzip to foldername won't have (necessarily) the same settings on the folder as it was created - things like the actual time and date stamp - which is probably what was causing your MD5 mismatch error.

When you unzip her it extracts the contents of the ZIP as it is archived.

When you extract to a folder name, it creates the folder first then extracts to it - meaning the folder modification timestamp is going to be the current time and date.

Thanks for working through this, now we have another idea why a lot of people get this error. It never occurred to me to think about the timestamps on the folder itself....

Makes sense. Glad we figured it out.

Now... Im sorry to keep asking questions but. I thought Flash was supposed to be pre-installed in this ROM. I went to a couple random websites with flash and it indicated that I needed to update my flash player, or I just had the blue Lego picture.

Is there something I need to do to activate flash?

You need to delete the file from /system/app/

reboot, then reinstall it. You can find the link in the OP of the MDW Froyo thread.

not going to happen tonight but tomorrow I will redo the clockwork and maybe the spr files without flash

 

[Haywire]

OMJ, I got it up and running. But I noticed there isnt wifi hotspot? did they just not include it in this rom or was it left out for us? just curious. Got flash on, works pretty well so far.. Froyo!!

 

[johnlgalt]

No, No WiFi hotspot (aka WiFi tethering) - yet.

However someone just pointed this out:

esmith says the Wireless Tether app in the market installs *and* works.

Going to get it now.

 

[Haywire]

I was talking about to enable it for other devices, I thought 2.2 was supposed to include it? (i'm thinking to use it for my soon to be purchased ipad on wifi) ha ha take that apple.

 

[johnlgalt]

Tis 2.2 leaked ROM only has USB tethering, not Wireless.

Anyone having issues with the touchscreen acting wonky with this rom? I'll be touching something on the bottom of the screen and it'll act as if I touched something on the top. I'll be in the browser and touching something on the screen and it thinks I'm doing pinch to zoom.

Yes and no. When I first installed setcpu and rebooted. My droid was running at 250 mhz. I didnt realize it but thats why it was slow and unresponsive.

Now since I fixed that. I cant believe how fast and snappy the phone is. Its great right now

Sounds like your screen is not clean or you have a crappy screen protector (no offense).

Yes but the WiFi tether app from the market works with the ROM. I just tried it

 

[SoDroid]

Ok . I got it to start installing.

I used my XP 32 bit computer with WInrar

Heres what I did different and it makes no sense to me.

I moved the .zip to the sdcard clockwork\backup partition.

I then chose to "unzip here" (this is the only step that was different )
rather than "unzip to 2010-06-06.19.29.12"

Either way the files still went to a folder called "2010-06.19.29.12"

wierd

Thanks for posting your solution! I was having the exact same problem!

 

[johnlgalt]

I knew this was going to be a deciding factor with this MD5 mismatch issue.

This needs to be spread all over the Internet - it'll save a lot of problems, particularly with n00bs....

The flash portion doesn't work after loading, the dev of this ROM didn't realize that, I guess.

Look at the OP of this thread, you have to remove the existing flash APK (Root Explorer is the easiest way) and reinstall flash - there's a link to the flash download in the OP of this thread.

Thanks, I'm working on that right now...
I just opened Root Explorer and started looking through data/app, but I can't seem to find the flashplayer. I've looked through the list like 5 times and can't find it. What should it be called...?
:/

Its called com.adobe.flashplayer-1. I couldn't remove it. (Think u need to do it through adb)I didn't remove it cause I forgot to after I downloaded the new apk . Installed the apk that Fabulous redirected me to in this same thread(read above). Flash works great. I'm actually impressed with it. I did overclock though

Are you saying I can just install it over the current installation and it'll work? Because I've been looking under data/app and it's simply not there. ADB is not an option for me, I have tried to make it work but it simply won't work. :/

zz mine seems to be clocking down to 250 Mhz as well on bootup. What gives? :/

Well after I posted I decided to revert back to BB and lo and behold the touchscreen was acting wonky as well. I had my phone plugged into the computer. As soon as I unplugged it the phone started working fine again. I'm going to flash this rom again to see if the problem was me leaving the phone plugged in.

Birdman has released an update.zip of v.3 Im installing now. Thank god he did an zip now I can stop porting nandroids to clockwork

edit: I have no 3g with this method. So I would hold off on using it for now.

I had to restore a backup cause I couldnt get any data. Saw someone else mentioned the same issue on alldroid. Hopefully birdman will fix it today

From what I can tell this is why we have to install these as nandroids for now... Installing as a zip will not allow data...

So what is the verdict of Birdman's Froyo?
