New Android 2.2.2 Mijuu Build 1.2.4 + Google Apps + Tweaks
Posted: Sun Jul 24, 2011 5:12 pm
Thanks to xalior for hosting this mirror. The new link is just below. Sorry about the instability in the last few days.
Initial release with Googgle apps, working Market and now a load of tweaks and extras - 7th August
So we have all had a couple of weeks using the latest Rom from Mijuu. I have come up with another tweaked version of this.
This image can be found here http://joggler.xalior.com/mijuu_1.2.4_gapps_tweaked.zip I have shrunk this image to under 3.5gb so that most 4gb sticks should be able to fit this on. If you want to enlarge this you can use gparted to grow the partitions.
So what is new in this version I hear you ask? Well I have install a few non Market apps, along with a few Market apps, found some wallpapers suited to the Joggler along with a program to set them, installed a new widget picker to make it easier to scroll through the list of widgets and lastly I have installed the Dell Streak Stage Launcher and VTL Launcher. Both of the launchers are perfectly suited to the landscape orientation.
Once your Joggler has booted you will see a few folders onscreen, tap the startup one add wifi, set clocksync, add your Market details and then run QuikMarketLinks you need to establish links for the following apps (adbwireless, adfree, audiomanager, beautiful widgets, beautiful widgets animation addon, button savior, download all files, font changer, gallery excluder, homesmack, lockscreen calendar, maps, screen filter, spare parts, uninstaller, wallpaper wizardrii, widgetsoid and Zedge). This will ensure any updates are available to the apps are available through the Market. DO NOT link beebplayer as the newer version does not work.
The alarms folder contains an app called "screen filter" this knocks the display light down to 20% of normal. When you tap this the screen goes quite dark, you can change the percentage by using the settings in the notification area. This app used in conjunction with the clock app will hopefully make for an ideal bedside clock. If you completely screw this up, reboot and uninstall it using "uninstaller" and re-download it from the Market and try again. To get new notification sounds use the Zedge app and search for "alarms" and download a few, now when you change the sound for an alarm you can select "zedge ringtones" and it will let you choose from your downloaded ones.
The wallpaper folder contains a few useful apps. Gallery will show you the wallpapers pre-installed and wallpaper wizardrii will set these properly for you. I would choose "crop no scroll" to get the best results. Have a play with this app it's very useful. Lastly Zedge will have loads of wallpapers but they are mostly the wrong size, I included this app for alarm sounds.
The Dell Stage Launcher has a few useful widgets hence me using it. The contacts widget display your favourite contacts, the gallery widget displays recently added pictures, the web widget displays bookmarks and the music widget is just great. To use a different launcher run the app "homesmack" to change the default launcher. VTL is a great launcher as well. Both are set up to use a horizontal app drawer.
So that's it really, if I was you I would try out each of the apps and see what they do. If you really do not like any of them just uninstall the with "uninstaller"
Initial release with Google apps and working Market - 28th July
I have created a version of Mijuu's 1.2.4 Rom that has the Google apps and the market pre-installed.
This is a whole usb image based on a 4gb drive. You will need a blank 4gb or bigger usb drive and a program to write disk images to a usb drive. I suggest the program mentioned here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Win32DiskImager
You can get my image here https://www.sugarsync.com/pf/D6840131_8644417_18553. Once it has downloaded unzip the folder and then use the previous program to write it to your blank usb drive.
A few things to note about this version are as follows.
Android Market pre-installed, it will work straight out of the box with having to clear anything. You need to accept a few permissions at first which pop up in the notification area. Also the first few downloads may freeze, just cancel the download, reboot and try again. After a few attempts it should sort itself out.
AudioManager, Beebplayer, Button Savior, Dropbox, Spare Parts and QuikMarketLinks are pre-installed as well. Once you have connected to the internet and got the market to download please run Quikmarketlinks use it to re-establish links to the Android Market so that your device downloads future updates. You just need to click through the list of apps let it find them in the market and voila that's it. DO NOT DO THIS for Beebplayer as the new version does not let you lsiten to the BBC radio stations. Some of the system apps like Street View, Calendar, News and weather will not find a link but don't worry.
Ethernet is disabled by default, if you plan to use it you need to turn it back on in the settings menu.
I will be creating a tweaked version of this with different Launchers, Wallpapers, Alarm tones plus many other tweaks. Check back in a few days time for this.
Initial release:-
I noticed this afternoon that Mijuu had posted another build of his Joggler Rom on the http://www.mporting.com/ website.
The release notes for the rom are as follows.
New:
Embed Mplayer player in the player interface Zhong increase the eject button (base code is based on android-s5 Xiangmu unfinished Mplayer, bug fixes and added features online video playback, but audio and stability Huan There are some small problems)
after compression to increase the memory swap function, the values in the grub.cfg adjust, for example, to set the compression mode, 400M memory, which was revised to 409,600, the theoretical case, the memory can be compressed more than 1 to 3 times
Fixed:
correction CIFS, Windows file sharing to access
the audio driver alsa configuration bug fix
changes after correction the high rate of CPU utilization
fix some of the need to install the software on the SD card installation failure
fix the problem of suspended animation top button
Adjustments:
Brightness default minimum
off by default wired LAN
The download link is http://www.mporting.com/wp-content/plug ... player.zip
Or you can download it from a mirror I have put up https://www.sugarsync.com/pf/D6840131_8644417_04578
This is going to need to be copied to a pre partitioned usb stick again. Instructions are going to be similar to the ones here http://www.jogglerwiki.com/wiki/Mijuu_R ... roid_2.2.2
As to whether Lindl's image can be copied into this rom without problems I don't know, I will be checking this out in the next day or two.
I am also going to create a full usb image with lots of tweaks and apps on top of this, details to follow regarding this.
