(updated 6-29) Froyo Kangerade v0.3.4 - Compiled from source

[alonsou]

Okay so far after installing, the first boot takes less than 5 minutes.

So far 1 FC on LauncherPRO
Widgets need to be reinstalled
I see a new Setting option for Dock
I didn't wipe and still the ROM seems pretty stable,
Market is taking too long to start downloading apps....it took about 2-3 minutes for the market to download 3 apps (Yellow pages, Pandora and Weather Channel, got 2 unsuccessful installations Pandora and YP, WC ok)

I'll keep playing with this for a little bit, but if the market will be giving me issues I'll go back to Kangerade untill its fix.

Thanks JRummy!!

I wiped data 3 times and dont have market issues...pandora installed great for me, so I would try a wipe first and see if that clears up your issues.

FRF83? I thought FRF57 was the latest. Is there a more recent leak that I am not aware of?

Uh yeah man... 2.2 dropped AOSP on Wednesday.

I did a bunch of searching, and I keep finding that you can only use this on the Nexus One. 72 to 83, or 50 to 83. How are people getting this on the Moto Droid?

I assume that I can use a custom theme over this ROM right?..

Check Facebook Sync

Sapphire 0.6, built from Froyo source, is unable to sync with Facebook contacts. The option is absent from the app itself, and going to settings>accounts & sync> add account > facebook does nothing.

Does this source build have the same issue?

I haven't had time to test hardly anything on this yet. I was hoping this thread could turn into a testing/feedback thread for future releases.

Well, I would use a metamorph theme cuz if you use a custom theme it will replace all the apps I compiled. It will probably work fine, just saying you will have a 75% built from source rom.

I installed maps 4.3 and it FC

 

[madisonjar]

maps 4.3 FC's here as well, might not be sticking with this build as I use Nav every day.

LOL thats a whole nother animal.
this is the easiest way.

1. Open Terminal Emulator and type in the follow commands:

su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 dev/block/mtdblock4 system
busybox rm system/app/Maps.apk
cd system/bin
sh pm uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps
cd ..
cd ..
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 dev/block/mtdblock4 system
sync
​

2. You can now attempt to install the Google Maps update.
3. If it fails the first time, just cancel the download and try again. If it fails again, reboot and try.
4. Done!

like I said, this is more of a test thread.. now that I have more people testing I can look into some potential fixes. As I fix things I will post the update in the first post here.. so just bare w/ me.
