{CM6-RC2} Concerned Question..

Ok i have the cm6 rc2 rom on my nexus right now.. this is my first rom.. i rooted last night..
so anyways, i have a couple questions for you guys..
1. if an update comes to my rom, how will it be shown that it came out? how do i update it?.. yes i have rom manager.. will it be like a app update (in a way)? i wont lose anything right?
2. if i morph some "goodies" to my rom right now, and when an update comes, will i lose all the goodies i morphed??
thanks guys for ur help!

to update your ROM you can just use ROM manager. most major cyanogen releases appear on there, and its easy click to install. or you can just grab the new ROM manually and place it on your sd card and flash from recovery (which is exactly what ROM manager does for you, it just automates it for you).
when you apply a morph and then update your ROM, you usually have to re-apply the morph. i keep mine on my sd card since its the first thing i do on a new ROM.

[Q] Theme and market problem (should be easy for you lott ;D)

Hey everyonee
im having seriouse trouble with my SanFrancisco phone from orange ( Zte Blade )
iv successfully rooted my phone and have clockworkrecoveryMod Working fab
but i have a couple of problems, i recently upgraded to froyo (android 2.2) using this page: Orange San Francisco phone handset – How to unlock, root and upgrade Android 2.1 to 2.2 FroYo The IT Bod
i have done this correctly and im happy with the result, (apart from all my data been lost, but i dont mind as long as i have froyo
but heres the problem,
I realllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy like this theme
Minimal Matte 1.5 CM6 Full Rom! 8/7 - xda-developers
http://www.xda-developers.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/matte.png
so iv saved the theme as update.zip and put it in the root of my phone,
then i opend clockwork and selected the theme correctly, and installation was succesfull,
but when i boot up again after the installation the android startup screen is stuck,
and also, using this new froyo, i cant seem to download and install apps of the market?
anyone helpp plzzz )))))))))

Just do these commands, you need to reflash your froyo rom, but your data is lost i think. Open your recovery and make:
1. Full wipe
2. wipe cache
3. wipe SD:ext
3. Flash your froyo rom, than reboot and you get back the original froyo.
Don't forget: every rom has a special theme for itself, you can't flash every theme with every rom. If you want an alternative read about metamorph.

is that rom even for your phone? Use the theme porter to inject the theme into your rom.

hmm, im not too keen on wiping all the data again :/
the phone originally came with android 2.1 but you can root and update it to 2.2, is it possible that the rom i installed just doesnt support the themes? do i need to install a patch? im not even sure i backed up correctly, even thought in the rom manager i clicked backup" it didnt really do anything, this idea of injecting sounds good, but wouldnt the same problem occur?
thanks for replying

nah nothing wrong happens when you port the theme to the rom you are using. i've ported like 5-6 themes already.

iv been using clockworkrecoverymod to install the themes under update.zip
but theres also the problem with the market, iv done alot of searching to find out y the apps wont install of the market, any ideas? thx
im gradually thinking it would be best to start clean, and if i were to start again how would i install 2.2 android onto a zte blade without hacking it?
thnx alot ;D

[Q] MCR script missing

hey guys, just rooted my Samsung Captivate. Everything has been going great till now. i Downloaded a lagfix, which is honestly the main reason i rooted my phone. however after everything (yes, i did everyting right) i didnt have the app that was included in the .zip file iput in my phone. the app is called MCR scripts.
i did some reseach and i found this key line
"*** If MCR Scripts DOES NOT show up, its probably because you don't have the non market install hack on your phone. In the update.zip you can find the apk and install via ADB, but I didn't do it this way. ******"
in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=750869
so how do i just get the MCR scripts? i downloaded tayutama's zip file and i found the folder named "scripts" with the 3 files in there but they are .sh files.
so what do i do here? do i need to convert then to apk or something? please help!!!

forgot to mention...because i have a captivate i can not just go to setting/applications/ and choose for any app to be allowed or what not. i simply do not have that option. i use android central to get my apk files working on my phone. I have tried to run a zip file that will just let me install the apk file on my phone with no need for a computer. But that was to no avail.

bumping this.....this forum moves fast haha

thats an old thread and deprecated now im sure. why not flash a kernel with voodoo enabled? That would be a much safer and logical approach

woooah what?
i would like to get all technical and hardcore with this rooting thing but step by step lol. I'm still in my beginning stage i have a lot of experience to be earned ahead of me. is there no way to just get the mcr scripts as an apk?

have a look at the date on that thread, and the FIRST LINE in the thread asking to be deleted....

right, i didn't notice that...wow. either way that new thread the link is dead. and for me to run that packaged zip file i would need to completely set my phone to stock, nor do i know how to do that. Im simply asking for just the MCR files in apk format if that is possible at all. If not then can you please point me in the right direction? Thank you for all the help so far, i truly do appreciate it.

i guess the real question here is what is your ultimate goal?
you want froyo? install a rom (most everything on the dev forum will install a lagfix for you, click on the link in my sig)
you just want a 'lagfix' on stock eclair? install a 2.1 kernel with voodoo

rom would be customizing the android correct? like a new home layout and what not? That would be cool but im happy with what i have...i would just like to be able to download any app for free. and get the lag fix. i got the first part down (apps for free) by rooting the phone, all i have to do is get the apk downloaded on my comp then run android central to install it on my phone.
so i download kernel with voodoo, is it just a drop into internal sd...same as when i rooted my phone? then go into recovery and choose reinstall packages?
ok found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=784170
sooo i would definitely be installing the one WITHOUT the back light notification, as...my hpone doesnt have leds. Hopefully it works for all galaxy s phones because this seems to be for only the 19000 captivate? while i have the sgh captivate from AT&T.

3rd page in less than 24 hours...wow lol

so at this thread
http://project-voodoo.org/download
i downloaded the lag fix for my phone which is like near the bottom of the page. i renamed it to lag fix zip file tp "update" but since i have the other files that are also renamed to "update" like for my rooting and stuff the file ended up being update(3) idk if that makes a difference but when i booted my phone from recovery mode after choosing resinstall pacakges, the phone boots up normally no long pause durgin the at&t screen or anything so i know the lag fix didnt work...also because the phone is still...slow. helllp! please.

you need to remove ANY other update.zip files from your phone and rename THAT file to update.zip
then reinstall packages
once you have installed an update.zip it is no longer required on your sdcard

thats what i was thinking, just wanted to make sure. Ill check back once its done thankyou.

YES!!! i knew it was going to work when i heard the freaky computer lady's voice haha. Even still, i didnt notice a HUGE improvement, my quadrant score is a bit dissapointing only 1400...

yea, so do you guys think i should maybe overclock? its still laggy/slow to me. Im sure becuase of the preious iphone usage lol. whats the best way to o/c? i heard that the overclock app isnt very reliable...i know , i know, overclocking itself isnt relable but are there other ways about doing it?

off your original topic ...

understood. making a new thread.

Newbie Here :-) MIUI Question!

Hi Forum
I'm still a newbie in all this android business, I try to read as many threads as possible before asking questions, however I just read A LOT about this MIUI, and people said there was released one for Optimus 2X? I just can't find it anywhere on the MIUI site.
Also if I do want this, how do I go about installing it? Can something go bad? I just don't want to brick my phone as I was close to doing so when I was playing around with flashing my SE phones
Help would be greatly appreciated
Kind Regards
~Neefy

Hi, you might wanna start and flash CyanogenMod first, also that is the best path to MIUI since the whole structure of MIUI for O2X is CM7. So go ahead to the CM7 thread and follow the guide there (I believe there is one).
I can't however tell you that not everything will go OK, since I don't know what knowledge do you have, but just be careful and everything will go great.
As for the MIUI installation it is somewhere in the only miui Thread at the moment in the development section.

miui germany .de celebration HD beta version ^^

i think they removed the link

I found the link, but what is the process? I understand I have to install RomManager, then clockworkrecovery, place the miui .zip on my SD card (only got internal, is that ok?), boot into recovery, "install from zip"
Is that all? Anything I need to do before?

i am also interested in this

Anyone with time and generosity who wants to help us newbies ?

External is needed if I'm right someone may be able to back me up with that but basically use rom manager to flash clockwork mod recovery (cwm). Use volume buttons to move up and down Recovery menu and power button to select, it's recommended to make a nandroid backup before flashing so you always have an go back to how it was if anything goes wrong. Next step after backup is to factory reset, wipe cache partition, go into advanced and wipe dalvik cache and battery stats. Now go to install zip from sd card and then choose zip from sd card and select your rom and flash and reboot. I'm new to this also so hope this helps.

but where does one get the zip image

The zip file is no problem, are you sure about the external SD thing tho? I don't have one

if you wqnt to flash roms you should get one. i got a 16gb one for about 14 euros from amazon

Could you link me to that ?

Wrong ! There are 2 versions of CWM. One for external and one for internal.
Go to dev section and search

As others have said, start with cyanogen to "cut you teeth" and then you can move to the MIUI ROM

MIUIUIUIUIUI is *dogshite* awful, but the installation process still remains the same. Flash zip. You do not need an external SD, you just need to read a bit more on recovery mounts.
Personally, CYANOGENMOD ALL THE WAY.

But what is the point installing cynagenmod and then installing MIUI right after?

the current MIUI for o2x is based off CM7.

But wouldn't it be the same as installing it from Stock in comparison to installing it from CM, won't I have to wipe and factory everything anyway?
Please clarify As said, I'm still very new to all of this!

if you are concern about bricking i suggest u make a nandroid backup or have another working rom on your sdcard. other than that process is the same.

Is there any way to do this without internet connection on my phone? My carrier stopped my internet connection because I forgot a bill I can't get rom manager due to not being able to get to market, any .apk or such?

Hey i was reading up about rooting for 2 weeks before i plunged in and took the step. Let's say on your first try, don't do anything that needs you to change radio etc.
Just use the superoneclick method to root it, then download rom manager (free from android market) and install clockworkmod recovery. This should be easy, as from rom manager all you need to do is click flash clockworkmod recovery, and it will do it for you.
Next find the rom you want, and download 3 files. One is the rom itself, the other is a kernel (example ezterry's) and finally gapps and put them on your sd card. Next reboot into recovery.
First you'll want to create a backup, go to backup and restore click backup, and let it do it's thing. Once it says backup complete, you'll need to wipe cache, and wipe date/factory reset.
Once you've done that, do install zip from sd card, and install the files in this order:
ROM first: (find where you put the zip file on your sd, and select it)
Then do install zip from sd card again & select the Kernel (if you need to flash a seperate kernel)
Then finally do install zip from sd card again and select the gapps, zip (this is basically the android market, and a few other google apps).
Next press reboot into recovery, and it should load into your new rom, if all has been done correctly. I just recently rooted and put a custom rom on my phone, and this is the way i did it, so it should work for you. Make sure you research rooting and flashing roms onto your phone, before you take the plunge though.
