I know the official thread for this app is over in the developer's section but that's only because it was a collaboration of developers and coders that brought it to fruition. But since it is an app after all, I thought I would post here just in case people using CM builds don't visit the developer forum on the regular.
For those who don't know, Cyanogen Updater is an application based off the JFUpdater and does exactly what you would think. Its obviously only useful for those who have root and use Cyanogen builds but it is a great time saver and helps keep up with the latest builds especially the experimental ones. It is capable of searching for updates for both experimental and stable builds (options are found by pressing menu) and has the option to apply the update immediately or apply it later.
Development for this app has really taken off and went from concept to downloadable app within about a day complete with awesome Cyanoganized graphics! The development thread moves fast and updates are soon to follow.
The app can be downloaded directly from the Market or installed with adb after you download it from our google code page.
Here are all the links you will need:
Google code page to find the change logs, to-do's, report bugs, see screenshots of it in action, and to keep up with the latest versions:
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogen-updater/
The official thread is in the developer's section: Please avoid cluttering the page with "downloading now" type responses. Suggestions are always welcomed and I think we would like bugs report to the google page rather than in the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544663
Enjoy!

[EXT3 + Turbo Kernel] GoDroid v8 Froyo 2.2.2 Build
Kernel: Duckly's Turbo with keypad drivers not as modules.
Launcher: Go Launcher EX.
After following different ROMs for my Xperia x1, in this new version I’ve decided to add my reviews to an eclectic ROM based on Needo (I remastered his Honeycomb framework), Neopeek (I took part of NeoFroyo build structure and I've used it as a base, great work), jerrytan93 (I've decided not to use his implementations), helicopter88 (we just use Midnight v9 Kernel for installing the rom in EXT3 format) and XDAndroid (FRX07) developments. So, special thanks and credits for all of them.
Modifications included that I consider fundamental respect advances made in other roms:
- A versatile launcher.
- Battery icon shows % sync.
- An ext3 format without journaling to waste less battery.
- No key freeze, no SOD.
- Market problems solved.
- Wifi-tether problems solved.
- Unstable wifi problem caused market solved.
- Bootanimation changed.
Now, everything is working except camera.
The rom only include English and Spanish language. But inside the bundle you can find GoKeyboard (to be installed by your own) and I've uploaded for Gokeyboard the next language package (to be installed by your own, too): LangPackage.zip (Arabic, Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Filipino, Finnish, French, Georgian, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, HongKong, Hungarian, Indonesia, Italian, Japanese, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovanian, Spanish, Swedish, Taiwanese, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Urdu, Vietnamese)
Changelog GoDroid v8
- Added Whatsapp v2.7.
- Added Load Monitor v1.4.2.
- Added Quick Settings v.1.9 (credits to izzyk)
- Added GoLauncherEX v2.63 (I use that version for better performance).
- Added GoDialer and GoContacts v2.05 (fix phone call problems, credits to casualt).
- Added GoLocker v1.04 (Click “Menu>Preferences>Theme Settings>GO Locker” to use it).
HOW TO:
01. Download the bundle: “GoDroid_v8.0.9_bundle.zip”
02. Install the new bundle following the next instructions.
(NOTE: Please check the downloaded files name because some web browser rename them adding an space bar between the dot and the file extension, for example: GoDroid_v8.0.9_bundle.^zip)
*01. Instructions:
01. Remove the SIM card till the installation will finish.
02. Split the SDcard with Minitool Partition manager (Freeware Home Edition) into 4 partitions (it’s important to set the partitions as PRIMARY):
---> 1st partition: FAT32 (SDcard / Rest)
---> 2nd partition: EXT3 (System / about 150 MB)
---> 3rd partition: EXT3 (Data / about 250 MB)
---> 4th partition: EXT3 (Cache / about 100 MB)
03. Unzip the bundle file using 7zip.
04. Then you will get a bunch of files.
05. Copy all the files in the root of the FAT32 partition into the memory card.
06. Don't copy them in a folder just in the root otherwise Android will not work.
07. Run "haret.exe" (settled in npkboot folder) using WM File Explorer. Wait until the screen show “Press Volume Down shortly to launch ClockworkMod Recovery”, press Volume Down button.
08. Thereby in “CWM Recovery menu”, choose "install zip from SD card > choose zip from sdcard >", select “GoDroid_v8.zip”. Be patient, wait till “Installation Completed”.
09. Press OK key in the pad and go back to “reboot system” in CWM menu.
10. Run “haret.exe” again, this time let the phone boot into Android completely.
11. Be patient, wait till the build is fully installed.
12. Before reboot follow the next instructions.
*02. Before second reboot (first time boot into Android):
01. Go to “Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks>”, uncheck “Data Enabled” (very important).
02. Go to “Settings > Wireless and Network >”, turn on the Bluetooth and wait till the phone detect any other Bluetooth Device (very important).
03. Go to “Settings > Location & Security >”, check “Use wireless networks” so that you can use your GPS.
04. Go to “Settings > Location & Security > Set up screen lock > Pattern”. So, you avoid the noisy locked screen vibration.
05. Go to “Settings > Display > Brightness >" and adjust a different brightness of the screen. So, you avoid the light on function keys when X1 is in standby. For better performance disable "auto-rotate screen" and "animations", too.
06. Launch Load Monitor app, go to “Menu > Preference >” and enable “Add Notification, Only notify high load, Auto start, Update interval 30 min., Wake lock”.
07. Press Phone button and choose GoDialer as default app (fix phone call problems, credits to casualt).
08. “Power Off” the mobile. Now take out the SD and replace the npkboot folder for this one:"npkboot.zip"
(NOTE: We only use Midnight kernel for install the rom in ext3 format, after we change "npkboot" folder for having Turbo Kernel. Jump step 08th if you want to continue using Midnight Kernel).
*03. Second reboot (GAPPS installation):
01. Download “GoDroid_GAPPS.zip”
02. Run “haret.exe” again, go into CWM Recovery, choose "install zip from SD card > choose zip from sdcard >", select "GoDroid_GAPPS.zip".
03. After finish install, reboot phone.
04. Run “haret.exe” again and leave it to continue booting into Android.
05. Now "clear Market data" and "uninstall updates" (Setting > Application > Manage applications > Market). After that disable Market Updater:
---> Install TerminalEmulator.apk (included in the bundle).
---> Type the following command in the terminal emulator:
---> su *PRESS ENTER*
---> pm disable com.android.vending.updater *PRESS ENTER AGAIN*
06. And reboot and run haret.exe again. That's all.
*04. Boot GoDroid automatically in your phone (DualBoot from Windows Mobile):
01. Run Windows Mobile.
02. Install "Gen.Y DualBOOT WVGA v1.0.6.0-Storage Card.cab" in Windows Mobile (it’s inside the bundle). You have to install it to "\Storage Card", not "\Windows", take care of that.
03. After it's installed, you have to edit the Windows Mobile Registry using "Total Commander" file explorer (inside the bundle). The registry location is at [\\\Plugin\Registry\HKCU\Software\Gen.Y\DualBOOT]. <--- This is located in the android mobile root but not in storage card root.
04. Inside DualBOOT folder find a registry named "AndroidBootFolder", click it and write “npkboot” without quotations marks. I've left a list describing what the keys are for:
---> "AndroidBootFolder"= npkboot <----- boot haret.exe from npkboot folder: \Storage Card\npkboot\haret.exe
---> "AutoBootAndroid"= 1 <----- 1 if you want to autoboot Android or 0 for autobooting Windows
---> "AutoBootEnabled"= 1 <----- 1 for enabling autoboot or 0 for disabling it
---> "FastBootEnabled"= 1 <----- 1 for enabling fastboot or 0 for disabling it
---> "StorageBootMode"= 1 <----- 1 always, take care of this setting
(Note: If you don't manage with Total Commander, as well you can use "PHM Registry Editor" for editing the registry: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Gen.Y\DualBOOT]).
05. Reboot the mobile and changes will take effect.
*05. Wifi-Tether 3.1 Beta 6:
(I was the first to find the wifi-tether solution for xperia x1 in FRX07 and jerrytan93 included it in SenseDroid_v7 changelog)
01. Wifi-tether shouldn't be installed if you ain't going to use it.
02. Install WifiTether.apk (included in the bundle).
03. Launch the app.
04. Go to "settings".
05. Then go to "Change Device-Profile" and choose HTC Desire (GSM) and start tethering.
06. Without stop tethering go again to "settings>Change Device-Profile>" and choose HTC Dream.
07. Now stop tethering and start again.
(Important: sometimes after using wifi-tether, it stops the wifi interface and we can't use the wifi because the system gives an error. It is not necessary to reboot, to rearm the wifi is easy using again wifi-tether. Inside of wifi-tether, we have to go again to "Change Device-Profile" and choose HTC Desire (GSM) and start tethering. Without stop tethering go again to "settings>Change Device-Profile>" and choose HTC Dream).
NOTES:
* If you want better battery performance, uninstall LoadMonitor app or any Taskmanager you've already installed.
* Wifi have to switch on in WM before booting Android or else you will get error message.
* Silent the phone before booting Android so that you will have sound in Android.
* Charge your phone before booting Android so that you can charge your phone in Android.
* DO NOT install GAPPS directly after finish installing the build or else you will get a serious problem.
* NEVER try to sync your phone with Google before installing GAPPS or else you will get serious problem.
* Changes needed to have GoDroid in your BlackStone (credits to jerrytan93):
---> Edit the build.prop and delete the 'ro.sw.rotation=180' line
---> Change the lib 'surfaceflinger' in my build with the one in your Blackstone Android build.
---> Use your BlackStone's kernel and calibration.
* To solve incoming calls problems, put calls on hold. If making a phone call you can't hear anything, just turn the speakers on and off and it will work. If the touch screen isn't responding, then use the pad and move to the speakers and click it on and off (credits to izzyk).
* Let me remind you that it is important remove the SIM card before installing GoDroid rom and wait till everything is done to use the sim card. And for changing between 3G to GPRS network, first always set the mobile in Airplane Mode. Due to a bug in Froyo 2.2.2, the bug reboots Android OS when you change between 3g to 2g. As the system doesn't close properly, it corrupts the rom a bit and you begin to have key freeze. Kernels like xdandroid avoids the bug with a proper control of mobile network.

- You just simply remove my LPSense launcher and replace it with Go launcher
- It just a TIPS for the Market and Wifi-Tether, not a FIX
- Switcher for wifi, bluetooth, brightness, gps, etc.. are from my ARCDroid
- Task manager is just an additional app for Go launcher which can download from Market FREE.
I can't see any difference in your build with mine besides of those 'FIX' and the 'NEW' launcher.
It is useless to give people credits but never asking for permission when taking stuffs from people.

I completely agree about you are saying. As I've explained in the first post, this is a modification of your job and XDAndroid (they deserve merit also). And the reason why I released GoDroid is because you did a final version in which people have found some problems like wrong wifi-tether installation that provides wifi unstability.
Solve this problem it's so easy as you say, but the 80% of the people who install a rom in their mobile don't know how to resolve this kind of things, they need you to do it, but you don't take out the wifi-tether from your rom because you did a final version.
Tell me what I must do and I will do without any reserve. But please solve the wifi-tether problem in your rom.
As you can notice I've not asked for a coffee invitation because I don't deserve. But the people who follow your job maybe want something more.
P.D.= If people install a new launcher like GoLauncher straight from Market, your launcher and the other works at the same time so consume more resources and the rom works slowly. The switcher are from the go launcher new version not from ARCDroid, and the Market is a new version, too. The wifi-tether problem in your rom is because you included it in your build and it doesn't work (it's duplicated in your rom, in /data/app you have one version and in /system/app have another).

I can give a conclusion that you had done a great job by discovered the Wifi Tether solution, other than that no more effort I can see to be done by you.
User can easily remove system apps by installing 'Root App Remover' from the Market.
About the 'NEW' Market are you using version 3.3.11? , and I want to apologize to you for the switcher. That's all
okay i have tried this build and it seems ok
one thing is that I think it is absolutely imparitive that we use the camera button as a home and not power button as if the keyboard does freeze we can still use the phone
please fix this in your update I have tried changing the usr and it hasn't helped
thank you dev

Guys we are all in this community TOGETHER. Lets work together and respect other devs and yours as what they like. We have to remember and thank each dev for taking their time for the community and providing THEIR versions of what THEY like THEMSELVES. Each rom is unique to the individual and I think its great that you devs are releasing it to the public. Please lets keep it a community of friends and work together.
Yes I agree with you casualt.. every developer have their own style on making their ROM, and every ROM have their own good features and function.. and it is depends on the users on what features they prefer the most.

Well, my English is worse than yours, you can be sure of that.
The GoContacts application includes GoDialer and this app fix the problem. Try to do a phone call and choose GoDialer for doing it. Therefore, GoDialer takes control of incoming and outcoming calls.
For me this change solved the problems, I tried several times and it worked in my case.
Best.
But a charge?
I am developing in Android Studio.
There is a problem though. When I change the code and I run the app it works fine, But when i change something in the layout it does not change until i do a clean project. e.g. i add a button and run the app, the button does not exist but when i do a clean project it is there...
Even Android studio shows an error when accessing the id of the newly added view...
Please help me solve this problem. Any help would be much appreciated.
Additional information:
-Android Studio version: 1.3.1
-Operating system: windows
-Gradle version: 2.6
I am having multiple directories as my resources with gradle like this:
Code:
sourceSets{
main {

Look, there are couple of things you should see,
first when you make changes you should save it every time when you make changes in it
go over all the functions you created and make sure they are wire up correctly and they should not get separated when you make changes, App location can be a problem as well, go over from your code couple of times you will find out the issue because its in your hand
