Anxious to test out Android 2.3 Gingerbread? Now you can! A couple of ROMs have been developed for the Incredible to give you the possibility of running GB!
I have put together an easy-to-follow step-by-step guide on how to get Gingerbread running on your Droid Incredible!
This article features the Incredible Gingerbread ROM by r2DoesInc.
The guide is available at Mod edit: Thread closed and links removed pending decision

Please post your guide here rather then posting an external link.
That is, if we actually need another rom flashing guide.
-edit-
Here is a copy of the 'guide'. hopefully this will save some people from actually having to go to the site.
Am I the only one who feels like Android 2.2 came out just a few weeks ago? Believe it or not, there are phones out there still running Android 1.6 and 2.1! Well, if you own the Droid Incredible, you’re in luck. Thanks to r2DoesInc from the XDA Developers forums, you can now run Gingerbread, the newest release of Android version 2.3, on your Incredible as long as it’s rooted! Now there are a few bugs and things that may not function properly, but it is a more-than-less functional version of Gingerbread.
A reminder to some, a disclaimer to most
Making unofficial software and firmware changes to your handset violates the warranty of your phone; therefore, if anything goes wrong during this process or in the future, you will be unable to return the phone for a replacement unless you are able to return the phone back to its original, factory settings.
In addition, if something does go wrong, there is a chance you can “brick” your phone. Basically your phone becomes nothing more than a brick, a paperweight. Therefore, if you are not confident or skeptical in any way, I advise you not to continue.
Backup
Make sure you backup everything you need on your phone (contact list, applications, etc.). A full wipe is recommended when installing a custom ROM, which will wipe the existing data from your computer (this does not include the files in your sdcard). You can find many backup utilities on the Android Market.
#1 You need root
Many people come across articles like this and see the words, “root,” and think, “What is root?” To be concise, rooting gives you the uncanny ability to breach the security of the phone to make unofficial changes to it such as changing the firmware, kernel, radio, etc. For more information about root, read my article “What Is Root?”
Read and follow instructions by following my tutorial, “Root Your Droid Incredible (AMOLED & SLCD).”
#2 You need a Gingerbread ROM
The next step is to get a Gingerbread ROM and flash it, replacing your current firmware. There are couple of Froyo ROMS out there, but the one I’ve used and would recommend is Incredible Gingerbread OMGB by r2DoesInc.
As a warning, because it has only been a short period of time since Android 2.3 Gingerbread has been released, there are some features and apps that you will come across that doesn’t function properly. Developers are still working hard to iron out those wrinkles, but these ROMs are functional.
SLCD Owners: r2DoesInc has reported that some SLCD owners have come across issues and to please flash with caution. If you are unsure if you have an AMOLED or SLCD, please refer to the section “Is my Droid Incredible AMOLED or SLCD?” in the article “Root Your Droid Incredible! (AMOLED & SLCD).”
The latest version of Incredible Gingerbread is OMGB-6. Download the ROM at http://bit.ly/fOZ7a3.
*Warning: Do not download .zip files you will be flashing using the Safari browser or unzip/extract the files (it tends to break the signature, causing you to be unable to flash the file). My recommendation is Firefox or Internet Explorer and save the .zip file.
You must also download a Google Apps fix to resolve many of the issues with Google Apps not functioning properly. Download the zip at http://bitsurge.net/android/Vending-2.2.7-signed-testkeys.update.zip.
Connect your phone to your computer with a USB cable, and mount your phone to your computer when the dialog pops up.
Copy the .zip files you just downloaded to your phone (should show up as SDCARD on your computer unless you changed its name once before) in the root/base directory (not in a folder).
Shut down your phone.
Power up your phone by holding down the Volume Down button and pressing Power to boot into HBOOT. Do not boot straight into recovery use Volume Up + Power. There’s a likeliness the recovery screen will be blank.
Once in HBOOT, use Volume Down to select “RECOVERY” and select it by pressing Power.
Using the Volume buttons or the optical joystick (the button on the front of the Incredible located on the bottom center), scroll down to “wipe data/factory reset” and select it by pressing the optical joystick.
Warning: This will wipe all data on your phone. This is required for this process.
Scroll down and select “Yes.”
If required, go back to the main menu of Recovery by pressing the Power button.
Scroll down and select “wipe cache partition” > “Yes.”
Scroll down and select “advanced” > “Wipe Dalvik Cache.” > “Yes.”
Go back to the main menu of Recovery (using the Power button).
Scroll down and select “mounts and storage.”
Scroll down and select “format system” > “Yes.”
Scroll down and select “format data” > “Yes.”
Scroll down and select “format cache” > “Yes.”
Go back to the main menu of Recovery.
Scroll down and select “install zip from sdcard” > “choose zip from sdcard.”
Select the .zip for the Gingerbread Incredible ROM.
Scroll down and select “Yes.”
Go back to the main menu of Recovery.
Rerun all the wipes (steps #11-17).
Go back to the main menu of Recovery.
Scroll down and select “install zip from sdcard” > “choose zip from sdcard.”
Select the .zip for the Google Apps fix.
Rerun all the wipes again (steps #11-17).
Go back to the main menu of Recovery.
Reboot your phone using the option in the main menu of Recovery.
#2.1 Donation appreciated
A lot of time, research, and work goes into writing and compiling these articles. A donation would greatly be appreciated
Thanks in advance!
​ #3 Known issues
As I had mentioned, there are and will be some issues with Gingerbread ROMs this early on in their development, in this case, Incredible Gingerbread.
You must manually add your Google account, wireless networks, social networks, etc. (This ROM does not include the Setup Wizard).
Video recording does not work yet.
LED lights do not work yet.
Some apps do not work properly yet.
Some people may come across more issues than these, but again, devs are working on these issues and will be resolved with later releases.
#4 Enjoy Gingerbread
Please keep in mind that there are no perfect ROMs out there. Enjoy Gingerbread on you Incredible
Let me know how it went.

If someone is reading this thread on xda. 99.9% chance they already know how to root and flash a rom.
Doubt they made it to android development skipping everything else..

Just switched from OMGB to EVERVOLV today because of lack of updating with OMGB. I would avoid R2's rom until he decides to provide updates or someone else releases a stock rom. No offense to R2 because he owes INC users nothing. Just frustrating to see needed updates for other roms that aren't provided for OMGB.

Taking money from someones pocket dude...not cool

Can mods please delete this before I rage? There are already flashing tutorials available and the donation thing, as noted above, sickens me. Is this thread even truly in the right place? What exactly is being developed here, or getting fixed? Can't imagine I'm the only one who feels this way.

Just don't donate

I agree parkson...
I think a ban should happen to be honest...
In my eyes its as good as stealing work.
You copied r2 first post and inserted it into a webpage. Then ask for donations..
If you Google incredible gingerbread, I'm sure articles can be found that specifically cite r2's thread ON XDA. Try it for yourself. Google "incredible gingerbread"
They don't ask for donations.
Ridiculous.

+1 to all posters in here...posting a "instructional" thread is absolutely ridiculous when devs and active members post plenty of advice in each ROM's individual threads...screw this guy

OMGB is a stock Gingerbread and he already mention long time ago after the location/GPS was fix that he is done with it. His next project is OMFBG. But people keep on posting so kind of got lost. Maybe he should have mention that in OP.

No I understand this but I just don't see the point of promoting a Rom that is so bugging when developer says he's working on a different rom now.

If I may defend myself... I wish that u all wouldn't b too quick to jump all over me and question my motives of writing this article and posting this thread along with all the articles I've written on my blog.
My motive and intention is not to beg for money nor steal credit.
In spite of all the comments about copying and pasting, I spend hours writing these articles and rewriting these articles to make sure the information is correct and valid. I run through all of my instructions myself. I spend lots of time sifting through all the hundreds of pages of crap in the threads for properly working fixes and instructions.
You're nuts if u think it's easy to just use the search function and find what u need. I remember being a new member, a lot of the threads is full of useless, irrelevant crap. I merely try to take all the right, relevant information and bring it all into one place.
If I was writing these articles to benefit myself, I have better things to do with a full time job and my first child that's only a few weeks away from being born. I write because I enjoy and love sharing what I can.
If one has never managed a blog he fails to see how much work really goes into writing. In addition I do pay for a domain and hosting. I've also coded and compiled 2 wordpress themes from scratch to function the way I wanted it so users could easily find the info they need on it and navigate with ease.
As far as credit goes, I even PMed r2DoesInc after I posted the blog article. All my articles that I used sources I have listed at the bottom. I don't pretend to have developed anything. I simply do my best to point and guide those in the right direction.
As far as the donations go, if u don't want to donate don't. I won't b offended, I promise. I simply ask because I spend money on the site, have bought a dev phone to help me test and write articles, and i spend a lot of time testing, writing, and developing the website itself.
If the mods feel a need to delete this article that's fine, but my motive is to help. If you already know how to flash a rom, this article is not for u. Skip over and read something else. There are many new people that visit this site that are new to roms, rooting, flashing (contrary to what u think).

You bought a dev phone to help you test and write articles???
The android development section is not for hoemw to articles..
Most roms link how to root and how to flash on their first or second posts so it isn't needed.
If you sift through hours of pages then why not take donation links to the developer and put them in your "articles/blogs" with them being clearly stated as such...
You don't even link to the xda thread. That's where all current information is.

Just don't see the point of this post. This isn't developement that needs to be posted. Anyone with a brain can figure out how to instal GB.

Ideas for a Custom Rom

Hello everyone,
I was reading all the posts about Custom Roms and I wanted to make something like an "XDA-Rom"... Maybe it would be better if I explain what I mean
Beginning from the system, I'd say it should be a very lightweight Rom (like the Gilgamesh one), so, without almost all the LG crapware. But I'd keep only few things of this softwares:
- contact manager (so far it's the best one I've found, but maybe because I lack of experience)
- keyboard (on some videos they say it's the fastest one, but I may be in error)
- LG home and Home switcher, so that we can keep the mirroring app working when needed.
Then, I'd add the last MoDaCo kernel (the ROM should be working in EXT4, if I understtod correctly, this shall make the phone faster), maybe we could make a proper boot animation, and just few app that are (in my opinion) the only really needed, like the gmail app, the calendar one and only the basic things. We could even update the baseband and root the phone directly from the rom, so that after a fresh install it's already running. I'd replace even the LG lockscreen, that is really nice, but it's too slow (when I switch on the screen, I see the home and then the locked screen, this shouldn't happen with the default lockscreen).
Ofc, any suggestion is welcome
Thanks for reading, and I hope my idea is not that bad

I agree on the bootanimation.

Only on that? d'oh, I wrote for half an hour btw, I'd add Root Explorer as default as well... but I don't know how to do, I mean, would be enough to create the ROM with the kitchen (really a nice tool!) and then edit the *img files adding the software I want in the /system/app directory? Maybe this is a noobish question, but it's the first time I even get closer to creating a custom rom

Oh, integrate BLN to have notifications would be a great idea ! (if you touch the kernel)

the root explorer is not for free.. so forget about this

Why? Install modaco and use filexplorer and delete all thing u dont want instead

For the experience, I'd like to test

Just use the online kitchen...
I was actually 30 mins from posting a pretty close ROM to what you mention here yesterday, but built the one I'd like online instead (except for some tweaks I put in laster on).
If people is more open for a ROM like this for direct download, I'm happy to compile/maintain it Just thought that it wasn't needed...

Rules: http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=1058
Also, Something you can stress enough:
ALWAYS USE THE SEARCH BUTTON AND POST QUESTIONS IN THE Q&A SECTION AND NOT THE DEVELOPMENT/GENERAL/ANY OTHER SECTION!!!
What is this and that (Glossary of android terms)
Rooting:
Allowing your device to run root only applications (You see them in the play store all the time). You can also access the Linux internals with root. It is an essential in order to unlocking the bootloader.
Bootloader unlocking:
This allows of flashing custom kernels and recoveries. After you unlock the bootloader, DO NOT OTA UPDATE!!! This will lose your bootloader unlock and/or Brick your device where you cannot unbrick it...
ADB:
ADB = Android Debug bridge. You can push files to the device, pull files from the device, and install applications. In order to use this you must goto Settings > Developer Options -> USB Debugging. You must also enable for rooting your device.
ROM:
Basicly, A custom firmware that is made unofficially by developers outside Motorola. These include tweaks and themes to make the device how you want and not ho Your carrier & Motorola want. You will need a custom recovery to install these (Requires bootloader unlock unless it says safestrap, or ss).
Kernel:
It is kind of like a rom, but without themes. These are mainly used for overclocking and undervolting. You need a bootloader unlock in order to use this.
I'll finish it after lunch...

IMO this is pretty much a useless thread, a person wouldn't be browsing xda if he didn't know the meaning of the stuff listed above.
thread can be made useful by adding guide & links to bootloader unlocking, rooting, installing CWM, etc.

I've been wanting to talk with some "power users" to get a good list of FAQs and answers. I'm just sick of seeing the same posts over and over again..
Feel free to PM me if you want some help with it

The way I see it, we already have most of the needed information but it's scattered around, disorganized. Some guides are good and others are crap. So this could include links to the helpful stuff rather than rewriting again.
My contribution: Use safestrap instead of CWM because nearly all ROMs were made specifically for SS.
Also SS allows you to flash RAZRHD roms with my wifi fix. Don't flash to stock if the ROM contains files in /system/etc/rootfs.
CWM: don't use it unless you want CM10 or you're an expert. Stop flashing RAZRHD roms with custom kernels. The LCD doesn't work.

You should be able to flash the Razr HD roms with CWM/TWRP as long as you mount /system before flashing.

[ROM] [4.2.2] Archos 80 Cobalt - CyanogenMod 10.1

CyanogenMod 10.1 working on the Archos 80 Cobalt!
This is oma7144's ROM, I've been able to get it running under a bit of guidace from oma and I thought I'd share it here if anyone else is interested.
The original thread is here - but this ROM is designed for Odys Genio tablet, which has basically the same specs as the 80 Cobalt. (RockChip 3066 chip)
As always, only flash if you know what you are doing, I am not responsible for anything you do or break.
New Version 1.3.4
Thanks danielo83 for putting this zip together
Oma CM10.1 v1.3.4
Battery problem fixed and ROM is now ready for daily use
- CWM 6.0.1.5 recovery
- System ext4
- Internal Storage 2,5 GB
- PhabletUI & Multiuser
- Device spoofed as Nexus

Instructions
Before you do anything, download the file below and extract everything to your desktop, find 'Oma RK30 CM10.1 Format NAND.zip' and copy to your externalSD card
then unmount and remove the externalSD, this is very important because if you try to boot after flashing the rom, you will not have access to the internal SD - which means you can't flash files from CWM or do anything basically
Boot to bootloader
Turn off the tablet
Unplug from charger and USB
Hold the 'volume down' button and then hold the 'power button' to turn the device on and boot into bootloader, keep holding both until you see the boot screen
Connect USB and you will get "Unknown Device" message in windows
Install device drivers included in the zip below under x64 or x86 depending on your system - see gavroche's root thread if you are having trouble
Open up RKandroidTool.exe as administrator (located in RKDevelopTool_v1.35 folder)
- if you have trouble try different USB ports on your computer
You should see at the bottom of the RKAndroidTool "Found RK Android Loader Rock USB"
Click 'erase IDB' button - this will only take a few seconds
Now click 'Run' button, this will take a few minutes to install the ROM
Insert your external SD card
The device will boot into CWM, now choose install zip from sdcard (not internal), install Oma RK30 CM10.1 Format NAND.zip that you copied to your external SD earlier
Reboot, and enjoy CM10.1

...everything apart from mentioned below
Known Problems -
Scren flicker when rotating screen,
When battery is low the tablet wont wake up from sleep and the power button will only reboot it instead of waking it up
- Thanks to danielolsman
- To "fix" this you could install "no sleep" from the play store.

If anyone is interested in helping get rid of these three problems please don't be shy.
I'm not a dev and I'm looking at fixing the bugs but don't really know where to start...

kage00,
Thanks for your effort!!! You're breathing new life into our tablets. We (I am sure there's a very big community alongwith me) who have been waiting for this.
I don't have my cobalt with me right now but will try and install at some point and feedback how it goes.
Are you also willing to work actively on issues and improvements. I am happy to help wherever I can. Perhaps, others will join in as well.
Thanks

Looking at the forum feedback from HUKD, the rom is not far from being a stable rom for day to day use. I see following general issues raised with this rom so far
1. Waking up issues after deep sleep in case when the battery is low
2. Rotation issues
3. Default language
4. Nexus port and therefore certain apps incompatibility
As mentioned earlier, I am happy to help wherever I can.
Thanks

Hey nikunj87,
Thanks for your support! I would love to be able to work on the issues with this rom but to be honest, I'm not a dev, not even close, and I wouldn't even know where to begin to start fixing the problems.
For the moment I'm looking at putting together a kernel from Archos' source and adding overclocking, I've never built a kernel before so it's a learning curve... don't hold your breath, haha!
I just thought I'd post this rom here to see if we could get some interest in the project and maybe get a dev's (or two's) attention to take a look at the problems, but for the moment it's just you and me who are interested in this..
I think the best we can do is wait for an update to this rom from Oma (the original dev), as you mentioned all the problems with this rom on the cobalt are problems that exist with the same rom on other devices. So maybe with a new update it will work a bit better.
Unless if we can get someone else who knows what they are doing to take a look at it...

willing to lend a hand tho I am only new to this stuff as well!

I tried this ROM, it seems that OMA posted an AKKU Fix here
I will trie it soon....
There are some problems with the camera; its inverted. The provides fix did not solve the problem, does someone know how to fix it ?

Akku fix does not work
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Cool! looks like we've got some attention from the devs!
So there is a new version of this ROM over at this thread
edit ----> please take note, if anyone tests this ROM you will need to keep the same kernel from the existing package in OP and use that to flash with new ROM, Otherwise you risk having a bricked device
Aparently the battery problem exists, but netlars has a possible fix on this thread if anyone can test it that would be great. My tablet is off getting fixed, I had some problems with the touchscreen.
Also Oma was asking if anyone could test this too
Are these paths there?

Battery problem is solved (see original thread)
CM10.1 is now ready for daily use.
(@Kage00: maybe its possible for you to make a new zip package with the new boot image found here?)
EDIT:
made a zip package myself : CrewRKTablets_RK30_Cobalt 80 by Oma_CM10.1_v1.3.4.zip

Thanks danielo83,
Nice one, I'll update the OP,
I got news back from Archos repair about my tablet / touchscreen problem. They decided to replace the whole unit, so I'm going to sell the brand new one and get a Nexus 7, which means I won't be able to play around with this ROM anymore becuase I won't have the tablet. I'm happy to still keep the thread open and you guys can tell me if there's anything to update in the OP
Thanks

In the new version do you still have the screen flicker artifacts on rotate?

Not sure if anyone will see this but I own an unrooted/untouched Archos 80 Cobalt which I haven't used for months. Decided to dig it out for my son to play with but I can hardly fit any apps on it so looking in to alternative roms.
Came across this rom which I want to flash but I'm unsure on how to start. Do I have to root and flash CWM on to the tablet before doing anything in this thread or are the instructions in this thread all that I need to do in order to flash this rom on to an unaltered tablet?

Yes you will need to be rooted first before using this ROM, please follow this thread to get root and CWM on your tablet then you can flash this ROM with the instructions in the OP
Yeah the storage space is limited for some stupid reason on the stock ROMs, that shouldn't be a problem on this ROM, also if you find you dont like this ROM there is also another custom ROM here based on stock 4.0.4 firmware with better app storage space

the new version still has the rotate "problem".
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

I just wanted to say as well, that Archos have released kernel sources (downloadable from their website) that are from May or June 2013 from memory. The last stock ROM built for this device was released in February 2013. Which means if anyone wants to try their hand at compiling the kernel from Archos source, it would be a newer kernel than what you are using now and it could possibly fix any left over problems with this ROM. I don't have any spare time to do it anymore, but if anyone was interested I'm sure you could find a walkthrough on XDA to tell you how to do it easily enough.
The kernel for this ROM at the moment is still the stock kernel from the stock 4.0.4 ROM, which is working, but maybe if a newer kernel was made from the sources it may work a lot better

app space and vold.fstab
Does anyone know if this ROM exists with 6gb of app space? I currently have the supersport ROM with 6gb app space and edited the vold.fstab to swap the internal and external sd cards. I’d like to do the same with this JB ROM.
How difficult would it be to edit the ROM to change the app space?
Does this ROM use the vold.fstab to set where the internal and external sd cards are mounted? (I think this has been changed in JB 4.3 but I’m not sure about 4.2.2)
Cheers, T

To be honest I'm not sure if it is possible, but you could ask the devs who made the ROM they would probably be able to tell you if it was possible or not. Have a look over at http://www.arctablet.com
You'd need to ask oma7144 or netlars
You could try to post in this thread and see what they say

Yes you will need to be rooted first before using this ROM, please follow this thread to get root and CWM on your tablet then you can flash this ROM with the instructions in the OP
Yeah the storage space is limited for some stupid reason on the stock ROMs, that shouldn't be a problem on this ROM, also if you find you dont like this ROM there is also another custom ROM here based on stock 4.0.4 firmware with better app storage space

I'm using Windows 8.1 64 bit
I'm doing this with USB debugging enabled and the device switched on as this is the only way I can get the 'ARCHOS' device to show in Device Manager under 'Other Devices.
If I put the tablet in to download mode (power + vol down) I get a dead Android symbol with red exclamation, is this normal? However when I insert USB cable in to the device at this point my computer doesn't bring up the 'ARCHOS' device in Device Manager...
All I get then is this:

I don't actually have this tablet anymore, but I remember mine being a bit strange when I first tried to root it too. It can be a bit temperamental... I remember reading someone saying somewhere about leaving the charger plugged in when trying to reboot into download or recovery mode, if that doesn't work try with the USB cable (or both) plugged in while you try.
I also remember with mine I had to direct windows to the specific driver folder extracted from the zip based on which drivers you need, eg, x86 or x64 etc.
You could also look at this thread http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?3244-Archos-80-Cobalt-900-supersport-rom where the might be more info on root.
I'm using windows 7 though, so I don't know exactly what differences there are with win 8.
If all else fails just keep searching and reading all/any forums you can find about rooting the thing, I'm sure you'll find that someone has had the same or similar problem
good luck

Hi do you have any idea how to get XBMC working with this rom? XBMC just goes back to home screen whenever i try launching it?

For xbmc you will need an older version of it. The one from August seemed to be the one to use for most people with the same issues on the HP slate 7 so am guessing it will sort your issue too. A quick search on Google should locate the archives for you

[Q] [UPDATED] Probelm Bootloop error with dsixda's kitchen cooked ROM

Hello guys:laugh:
I searched every forum thoroughly but didn't found a proper and working solution for Xperia devices
I am trying to make a custom ROM from stock using dsixda kitchen
I used stock 12.1.A.201 as the base ROM
I believe that it's either the updater script error or kernel probelm as I am using stock kernel and my zip is like this
Data
META-INF
system
boot.img
check_data_app

This happens when rom is created
De-odexed it rooted it and added X-Reality engine and created the rom
First on installing I got error of status 0 so I changed my update binary file from same de-odexed version from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2704312 by @dipesh1502 (thanks to him for that awesome rom)
Next I am getting error status 7
ROM Starts flashing then it comes to this part
formatting system bla bla
expected 5 args got 3

Click to collapse

here is the updater-script please have a look. I really want to create this ROM. Please help
Updater-Script Download
here is my build prop build.prop download
Help guys please I'll be highly grateful
My device is C5302 rooted and unlocked bootloader with 12.1.A.205 stock kernel
EDIT : Got past the error status 7 now ROM gets installed
But unfortunately now it ends in a bootloop :/ Got stuck on Sony splash logo and then reboots constantly :/
Had a nandroid backup ready x)
Had to flash the ftf file over and over again. :/
Phone is allright just want to catch this error of bootloop.
I changed kernel with the dipesh1502's ROM but still no luck. Modified Updater script but still no luck. help me I am soo confused and screwed!! :'( :'(
My new Updater-Script

There's a HUGE difference in creating boot animations and creating a ROM.
Don't expect to teach yourself how to make a ROM in just a few days.
It takes, weeks, months, years...
If you're mainly planning to make some exterior changes, which I think you're currently doing, I would focus on making complete themes and not ROMs.
People are not waiting for a ROM which is already available but that looks somewhat different and maybe has some extra or removed apps.
Regarding your problem, I will not be able to help you since I don't have that kind of knowledge.
Anyway, good luck!

Thanks for the reply.
Yeah I know that it's not easy to create ROM and also it takes a lot of time. I am ready to give it a shot
I am just making some small changes just for my sake I'll be using this ROM personally for my own use I know that there are a thousand times better ROM's than mine
Anyway glad you considered my probelm.

Bootloop can be cause by:
- Wrong permissions
- Corrupt installation
It is nice if you collect either the last_ksmg or logcat when bootlooping. (if possible)

But first:
Share me the .zip you have created perhaps I can take a small look

Thanks for the reply
Can you please have a look at my new updater-script and tell me what is wrong?
I will surely try to get logcat but before that if you can just analyze this updater-script and pinpoint the mistakes it'll make my work a lot easier.
Thanks in advance :good:

Sent me the entire .zip file instead (but start with updater-script)
~~Regards

Sure thing I'll
I am compressing it to maxium extent using KGB archiver and it'll become around 10~20 mb only
It's still compressing so it'll take some time before it reaches it's max compression.
I'll surely send you asap
