Installing CM10

First time boys. I've rooted my phone and have Superuser installed and Rom Manager. I'm running V20S patched. Question is how to install CM nightly's latest and how to get back to V20 if things screw up. TIA

First make nandroid backup of ur existing ROM .....I think U know about it, if not (reboot into ClockworkMod>Advanced>Nandroid backup)
Now installing CM10:
Download the latest nightly of CM10 and download the gapps from cyanogenmod official site and place them both zip files in root of SD card (not in any folder)
Now reboot ur phone into ClockworkMod; do factory reset; do wipe cache; and do dalvik cache (dalvik cache in advanced options)
1. Now come back and select the option Choose the zip from SD card>Select the zip
Now select the nightly zip file and press YES to install....
After installing again follow the point 1. and choose the zip file of gapps to install
After finishing reboot the phone...
CM10 installed... (From the next time, use CM updater option in About phone options for easy installation of every nightly without wipes)

And if things don't go well how do I get back to V20S bud? I'm saving your info to txt file for later as well

One more for ya. Is there a big difference between Nightly's latest version and this one cm-10-20121011-EXPERIMENTAL-p970-M2?

Yes somewhat big difference...M2 experimental is more stable without bugs
And every latest nightly include latest features,
If you want to know what the changes on every nightly..go here > (http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/#p970/cm10/1348746167)
Install nightly every week or twice weekly, not daily......it's better than trying every nightly
Try to know about CM updater, then u don't need to do all wipes..
there is easy process for that...Just download the nightly and put the zip file in CM updater folder of SD card (SD card/CM updater)
then go to Settings>About phone>CyanogenMod updates>zip file that you downloaded, (observe the date)

So M2 has no bugs? So the caller ID works and such? Can you install Nightly's on top of M2? And how do I get back to V20S?

In latest nightly that does not work, how that will work in M2 ...stable mean you can use that nightly without lags
Actually nightlies release intended for knowing bugs
caller ID problem is only for some people, so it may work for you.
Until the option you can go into ClockworkMod, you can get back to any ROM
If you have problem in middle of ClockworkMod, you can just restore the ROM from Nandroid backup that is in Advanced option
If you get bootloop, you should have to flash the V20S patch again..

Can you put Nightly's on top of M2 or do I have to go back to V20S?

Tried to flash. Did the wipes. Counld install from SD card. Said no SD card install or something like that. Had to flash back into V20S.

you know that you are going against the rules of the forum right?
you should read all important threads first before posting
to go back to v20s you just have to flash the v20s zip via cwm
don't forget to wipe data and dalvik cache

md5 hashes and file sizes of stuff change even when bbqdroid shows no change to it. CM10 as a whole is still being developed and as far as I can tell changes on the main branch don't show up on a device specific changelog. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[HOW TO]OpenPDroid on Nexus 4

Explanation of what OpenPDroid is and does: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34190204
If you want to mod your favorite rom with OpenPDroid but you have no idea how to compile from source, follow these steps:
Download Auto-Patcher-ApG: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31648393&postcount=690
Place it in a folder at the root of your harddrive, example C:\AutoPatcher\
Run it once and allow it to update.
Download your favorite rom, example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2008894
Open ApG and choose your downloaded rom.
Select OpenPDroid and AOSP (for this example rom).
Press Start.
Once the program is done, you'll have two new zips. One will install OpenPDroid while the other removes it and restores the original rom files.
If you already have the rom installed, simply use the OpenPDroid installer zip. Otherwise, install the rom and then the OpenPDroid installer zip.
Once you have booted up in your modded rom, install PDroid Manager: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.digitalfeed.pdroidalternative
Use the app to set the permissions for your apps.
To remove OpenPDroid, simply use the restore zip and uninstall PDroid Manager.
From start to finish, it should only take 5-10 mins. ApG does not work on all roms, but it should work on most (AOKP, AOSP, CM, and PA).
Please post the roms you try and what the results are. Thanks.

I'm currently using LBESM. Will give PDroid/OpenPDroid/PDroid Manager a try. I'm guessing I need to repatch each time I flash a new build of my ROM due to updated system framework and stuffs? Also, repatching should not reset the permissions of apps that I have set?

Yes, when you install a new rom, you'll need to make a new patch using Auto-Patcher. The permissions are set and saved by the PDroid Manager app. So they will be saved even if you change roms. The app has a function where you can export the permissions to the SD card if you need to fully wipe. You can also use TitaniumBackup or the like to preserve the permissions.

PDroid Manager keeps saying it cannot find/communicate to PDroid or OpenPDroid after I have patched and flashed the patched OpenPDroid installer zip. I'll keep trying if I can figure out what's wrong. By the way, I'm running AOKP ROM (4.2.2) on the SGS3.. Sorry wrong forum, but thought this would work on AOKP ROM.

Did you make sure to flash the correct zip? The first time I tried this, I accidentally flashed the "restore" zip and ran into the same issue. And remember, Auto-Patcher doesn't change the rom zip. It creates two new zips. Did you get any errors while patching the rom? Did you select AOKP in the Auto-Patcher settings?

Yeah I flashed the installer zip instead of the recover zip. Problem was I ran autopatcher in cygwin on Win7. I ran it using APG and that worked. Now setting up permissions for all apps.. That's gonna take a while .

hallo,
can anyone help me whats the problem is? It's my first time that i patch a rom by myself. I think i forgot something?!

Important
Do not run ApG under Windows directories such as C:\, C:\Windows, C:\Program FIles\* and so on.
Some even reported errors while running ApG from their desktop.
In case you're having any download errors (ApG or its packages) please verify your antivirus is disabled and you're not running from the above folders.
If ApG still fails to download packages or sync with GitHub, try running it as an admin.

That is why I suggested running the program from C:\AutoPatcher\. See if that fixes your problem.

hm ok, that problem is, I have not so much notion of pc and all .. i dont know what is mean with "Do not run ApG under Windows directories such as C:\, C:\Windows, C:\Program FIles\* and so on." how can i start this without C:\

I think he means don't run the program from the root of C:\, as in C:\ApG.2.6.0.2.exe. If you place the exe in a secondary directory that is not a windows directory, you should be fine. Try C:\AutoPatcher\ApG.2.6.0.2.exe

It Works! Thank you so much mate Now im happy but Facebook not :good:

[CM9] Lightweight gapps for ICS (4.0.X)

About:
Hey guys, I was doing some experiments with gapps and I found a way to save a little space in our devices. Yeah, I ripped some stuff from the zip in order to make it lightweight (mostly unused libs from our device, like front camera unlocking and that kind of stuff).
Notes:
- It works on every CM9 rom. No exceptions.
- I personally updated Play Store (4.0.27) and Genie Widget (1.3.11) to their latest versions, since those gapps were released on 29/04/12'
- The normal gapps zip
- Press thanks if you feel it.
How to install:
Just select zip, flash and wipe cache partition.
So...
If you have a question or you're just an giant n00b that doesn't know how to flash a zip, post down here. lol.
Download
Have a nice pootis. :good:

So if you already have the full gapps installed... You have to do a full wipe and flash this?
Maybe it'd be easier if you just made a list of all the files that one can delete, or even better, a script that deletes them.

Nope, this zip is meant to be used after a fresh CM9 install

Yeah, but can't you make a list of all the libraries and stuff you deleted? We could just delete them from the phone after installing regular gapps, right?

I'll try :good: I can't remember all the files I ripped, but I'll try...

[Q] Best way to debloat a stock ROM?

It looks like the two debloated stock-based ROMs that are available on XDA are no longer active. Neither have been updated for the April release.
Does anybody know of another stock-based, debloated ROM or have tips on how to do it yourself?
Thanks!

Really? I didn't know that.

Root explorer, give appropriate permissions, browse to \system\apps and \system\priv\apps, delete un-needed files. Just becareful as it can make your rom unbootable if you delete the wrong files. Use something like this as a guide to know what files are safe and what files are not, for deletion: http://forums.androidcentral.com/lg-g3/433412-large-bloatware-list-safe-remove-lg-g3.html
There is also Windows based programs to debloat android phones: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294 . Also you can just use a debloated rom like those from Skydragon, Tupac4u, DanvH, etc. for stock roms. AOSP or Lineage roms are also debloated and you can pick the PICO opengapps to install with these custom roms. Velocity (AOSP) rom for example is 250 MB for and once flashed with PICO opengapps, is very slim, fast, and debloated.

Thread for tools and instructions to extract files from img-files on a PC.
I am using the lite stock ROM of Danvdh and replaced files in the system folder of the 'march-zip' with the newest system files extracted​ from the factory image. As follows:
0. Full backup in twrp-recovery,
1. Extracted 'system.img' from N6F26Y factory image.
2. Extracted all files from 'system.img'.
3. Delete not used system-files/apps from system/app and -priv-app (debloating).
4. Added backed up files of the Nova launcher and rro layers.
5. Emptied 'system' in the march-zip and stored the new system files in that folder.
6. Flashed the updated zip in Twrp-recovery.
7. Reboot to check if it works.
8. Flashed Franco's kernel r65.

[ROM][A2017G][B05 7.1.1.][stock] SLIM version

HI !
For those who want their Axon7 G stock (rooted & unlocked) to be fully (almost) stripped of bloatware or other unwanted apps, I uploaded my SLIM ROM (ad-free + SuperSU). Nothing fancy, just cleaned and ready to use.
It’s fully functional and tested for some time now. Smooth, no bugs.
From this basic, almost clean version you can simply add from scratch your favorite browser, keyboard or other stuff without being messed up with unnecessary (double) applications. Some basic apps like the file manager, calender and alarm are replaced (see info) because standard in-builts are not that great
AdAway + SuperSu added.
I hope you’ll E N J O Y !!!

4. Install : A2017G-N-B05-slim : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=889764386195923534
5. Reboot
6. Done ! No more no less :cyclops:
AFTER INSTALL :
1. Go into Adaway/give root permission/download files etc. and update DONE!
2. Go into ES File Explorer/settings/check ROOT/tab ROOT again and give R/W to ALL. DONE!

Can I update to this if I'm on 6.0.1 build GV1.0.0B10?

Can u use magisk? Dont like Supersu..

This is getting really close to my ideal rom, I like LOS but not prepared to lose daydream, camera and audio performance.
Is it possible to do a rom like the old google play edition phones, where you get all the stock features and keep zte camera app but get googles dialer, pixel launcher etc...?

If you're rooted unlocked you can. But to be sure update to B01 and B02 bootstack/stocksystem. If you prefer update to B05 bootstack/stocksystem and then flash this one. Follow guides : https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/stock-rom-a2017g-twrp-flashable-images-t3599069

EASY METHOD ( instead of me uploading another version again ) :
For those who want to replace SuperSU with the latest Magiskv13.3 (stable) :
1. Download latest here (http://tiny.cc/latestmagisk) and put it on ext.SD
2. go into SuperSU app (#) and scroll down to 'Fully Unroot'
3. Tab it and tab YES when asking to replace boot.img
4. As soon as it starts to run and you get a first black screen : hold VOL+ and Power as to go into TWRP (so don't let it boot normaly, just go into TWRP !)
5. once in TWRP flash Magiskv13.3
6. Done !
I tested it by installing a module and no problem so far...

Yes you can delete system/app/whatever with es file explorer. I did the test.
Just give ES root permission.
You don't need disemmcpwp command or whatever to delete something in root of phone.
Edit : in my experience SuperSU is more reliable than Magisk as it comes to altering system stuff. Supersu does it flawless as Magisk in some way has difficulties with root explorers. That's my opinion

Thank you for removing this ZTE Apps and replacing with original Google Apps !!!

How about the battery life? Can anyone post prints?
Thanks

With Magisk there is a problem when deleting folders.
But editing and deleting single files is working fine.

Same for me, rename files works, delete not. 'Read-only file system' notification.
I "must" use Magisk because of Xposed. Maybe it would work with SuperSU, but i deleted some apps in the zip before, so i cleaned it myself before flashing.
What about adding some nice mods?
- Extended Power Menu (this version: click)
- Center Clock in Statusbar
- "conservative" war mod
(Thats what i added to your ROM)
I would like to help you, but i dont know how.

That's why i made this STOCK B05 clean ánd with the SuperSU. As you both acknowledge, with SuperSU there are no problems at all to modify, delete, ..or whatever in root's phone. Magisk doesn't it for a full 100% as SuperSU does. On the contrary when you want the benefits of Magisk which SuperSU does not quit offer, flash Magisk in a minute and you're done. So people can choose to their benefit
Adding mods like you propose are more then OK but this would mean it's not that STOCK anymore you know. I can add these mods but it will be another ROM. So in general, everyone has its own wishes but as said, i just uploaded this one as it is as far as i know the 'cleanest' one.

Hi, thanks for this Rom, but i'm not able to flash magisk. When uninstall supersu inside the supersu app, i cannot restore stock boot.img.

You're welcome
Normally when you follow my procedure here it should/would work. I've done it a couple of times to test. You'll have to vol+/power immediately after when it wants to reboot on a black screen, hold both buttons till ZTE logo pups-up and then release. Enther in TWRP and flash Magiskv13.3.
Should work
