New AoF builds released

Since our latest news update, there have been new AoF builds for Cupcake and Froyo. Visit the download section to give them a try.

The Cupcake build includes following changes:

Improved GPS timestamps (Michael)
Updated APN list from Cyanogenmod (scarhill)
WMIConfig for boosting WiFi power (Niels)
Improved backup script (Teodor, ran)

The same changes have been implemented to Froyo, with in addition:

GPRS fix (scarhill)
Bluetooth, sound an performance improvements (ran)
Freeze fixes (ran)
Improved battery status indication (ran)
CMUX fix (panicking)

Now available: AoF on SD only

Thanks to work by Christian Rüb and Ran it is now possible to build an AoF Cupcake or Froyo version that runs entirely from an SD. So it will not reinstall Qi etc.

This also means you can have another FR distribution in NAND next to a working AoF on SD.

The instructions and explanations can be found on the dedicated Wiki page here.

Packager part of Installer branch

A packaging script was added to the installer branch. The script creates the installation tarball for you, like the ones you can download from the project page. It can be used for creating Cupcake and Froyo installation packages.

For more information, check out the Build It pages on our Wiki.

Installer Build fixed

Thanks to Sebkuemmel, the installer branch of AoF is now fixed. Instructions for downloading and compiling are available here.

The installer branch contains the uImage kernel images used during installation and the qi bootloader. These files are part of the installation tarball.
