Well Backup works. i dont know what else?

I ran the bat file and everything but my phone still hasn't restarted yet...wtf.

What does this allow us to do? Please answer before I do this?

Backup and restore work fine for me. After the game I'll see if I can get a rom flashed but football > epic atm.

Can you explain how this is done? When I run the files does it copy what is on the phone to the computer so that I can just re-image it back onto the phone?
I maybe asking questions, but I really don't know what I am doing and want to be safe. I already have the one click flasher by noobnl, I trust him. I just want to be sure and understand what I am doing.
Thanks for all the info.

No it saves under clockwork mod on the sd card in 3 convenient files. So when u flash a custom rom u can run restore and it will restore all your files and data.

Gingerbread Keyboard for GS?

I would LOVE this keyboard for my G1. I am going to give porting it a shot, but I'm inexperienced, so I was wondering if anyone else is giving it a go. Leave a comment if you're already doing this, or if you have tips for me. Thanks!

first take it from the hero rom so you don't need to convert hdpi to mdpi

Well it doesnt for me.
Perhaps a logcat? Do you have Swype installed? Any other keyboard modifications already installed?
This file replaces "libjni_latinime.so" in /system/lib
and
"LatinIME.apk" in /system/app
Thats it.

yeah i remember the same file is missing in my case...LatinIME.apk

The port requires Android 2.2 Froyo.
Works on CM6.1. Installed on G1 and on 32A Magic. Just use the one referenced by Ohsaka.
I think it's better than Froyo stock keyboard. I switch sometimes, so this is good.

in the next MIUIcy update you will find

take it from my sig. just flash it via recovery.
delsadj:
i wouldnt recommend. somehow a tiny bit laggy.

if you get an error when flashing via recovery do this:
-extract zip
-put .apk in system/app/
-put .so in the lib folder (exact directory found in the zip)
-reboot
-fix_permissions
-enjoy
i have it on mt3g port and i t is now my standart it detects keypresses way more accurate than stock 2.2

[ROM] CyanogenMod 6 For Vega (unofficial)

I have created the vendor files for the advnet vega based apon the cyanogen ones for the Gtab, and compiled CM6 for the vega. This is not supported by cyanogen's team yet as the vega isnt officialy supported by them yet so please take that into mind (dont ask for support on the cyanonen irc ect u probably wont get it) but feel free to ask support on this thred.
Nither me or the CyanogenMod team take no responsability for any damage caused bu this rom. by flashing it means u understand this risks and accept the risks.
What doesnt work :-
- Camera
- Rotation can be funny (if it works at all)
[UPDATE]
- Black Screen Of death can occur when rebooting (looking into this ASAP) so be prepared to restore
What works :-
- Every thing else (i think)
[INSTALL]
1) get the .zip file from the bottion of the post
2) copy it to SD card
3) reboot into recovery
4) MAKE NANDROID BACKUP
5) flash zip from recovery (you will get a boot write error thats normal)
6) reboot
7) DONE
[DOWNLOAD]

Anyone else i have forgotten
[MY VENDOR]
If anyone else wants to try and improve on this please feel free.
https://github.com/BuzzBumbleBee/android_device_vega/tree/froyo
(Please note at the current time the boot.img that the compile creates will not work on the vega to u will have to make one by extracting the original ramdisk from the boot.img)

thanks mate been tring with cyanogenmod for gtablet..gonna try now. THis bad boy vega need some action
got error message:
assert failed: package_extract_file("boot.img" ,"/temp/boot.img")
E:Error in /sdcard/CM-6.2.0-Vega.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted.
edit: fixed.
I successfully installed, I put the original boot.img from vega into the zip, taking it for a spin now. Thanks Apache14.

I sold my Vega because of the screen imo wasnt great and the wi-fi issue.
Would have loved to have tried this rom though.
Good work !!!

Thanks to apache14 and everyone involved
How do we get market onto the tab. thanks in advance

Dunno about market any CM6 compatable gapps will work ..... also the adding boot.img isnt needed as there is no need to flash the boot.img (the stock advent one works pritty well for now)

Anyone working on fixing the black screen of death on cold boot a lot of people are getting with clockwork? I know there are enough people who don't have CW installed because of this that anything that depends on it will have a more limited appeal.

I have installed clockwork a couple of times and no black screen of death. Its straight forward.
Follow the instruction paul gave on modaco.
Download the Recovery image and flash utility and extract to desktop
open terminal
adb devices to make sure your device is connected
cd to the directory of file you just extract
then type
adb push recovery.img /data/local/
adb push flash_image /data/local/
adb shell chmod 4755 /data/local/flash_image
adb shell /data/local/flash_image recovery /data/local/recovery.img
thats done.
If you on mcr 6, the vega reboot recovery is already installed if not download from the market.
cheers

Yes, it's very straightforward. I've done it a few times too and followed the instructions. I still get the bsod as do a number of others. Without CM installed, no bsod...
Try power cycling your Vega back-to-back using the power button. I bet you'll get it to bsod reasonably quickly.

BSOD
Some people have reported black screen of death when rebooting with the power menu. so be careful and be prepared to restore (or flash stock boot,img again)
I am looking into this error now and hope to have a fix pritty soon

i fixed it. Copy boot.img,system.img and ramdisk.img from vega into the cyanogenmod zip,then flash, it also boot into recovery using rom manager.
Note: Do not unzip the cyanogengenmod, just use winrar to open it and copy those files into it then close it

So I did all this, and now have a device that is....
... exactly the same as before but with CWR installed (even says it's MoDaCo ROM). The flashing process took only a few seconds and no boot write error. Am I missing something here?
EDIT: hang on... just realised the zip file was wrong!!

To get the market and apps
Download http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/gapps/gapps-mdpi-tegra-20101020-signed.zip, then flash using rom manager. then once you reboot you should get all your apps and market. enjoy

[ROM](Working Update.zip) -> Defy Update.zip Cookie Cutter Rom

Defy Froyo 3.4.2 Cookie Cutter Rom​
Q. How Do I use the Update.zip?
A. Go to Market & Download Defy SD-Recovery & Install..
1. Next place the Update.zip on the /sdcard via PC
2. Turn on MoTo Phone Portal ( SD-Recovery is SD Based so you need to Turn Off USB Mass Storage )
3. ADB Debugging does not have to be Turned Off on my version
Once Booted into the Recovery apply the update.zip
wait a few minutes & it should be done...
Please Reads the notes I left in the Update.zip if you build a Custom Update.zip, this will save you trouble down the road.
What's Flashed?
A. Boot.img
B. dev_tree
C. Moto Blur 3.4.2 Rom ( Yes I know it's not the latest, built off what I had )
D. UNO & TMO-TV Removed
E. Rooted ( SU & Superuser )
F. Busybox Installed to xbin
G. Rest of Rom is stock
Once installed, remove eugene.apk from /system/app ( Old boot strap that need adb turned off before rebooting / defy sd-recovery does not have this issue)
Q. I Edited the update.zip & Now it fails verf. in recovery when trying to flash!
A. example of signapk on signing the edited update
java -Xmx1024m -jar signapk.jar -w testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 update1.zip update.zip

Hey eugene,
Glad to see you working on Defy too
I think this will be major help for developers and btw that 3.4.2 version did you used? since there are many of them.
Thanks.

um. 107 I think since it has a floating update.zip someplace & sbf.
Ill update to the latest when I start building roms

i don't understand. is the boot.img still the signed cg35.smg?
if so, can't we just use the cmw to do that?
can you post more detailed chages you made over cmw?
other than the signapk and usb debugging described.
many thanks.

Same here, i'm pretty interested in more details, thank you

this Zip File is for what ?
Thanks
Greetings

you can not use cwm due encryption. If you dont know what an update.zip is stick to nandroid...
This is for rom builders.
Heading out, when I get home ill make it clearer.
Though, now that I think about it cwm might be fine due to the nature of how it works.
Ill test later and let everyone know

So we are able to install updates via the "normal" Motorola Recovery mode? So we are able to get a "unbrickable" Defy?
Edit: got it myself. The ZIP File won't be recognized by the motorola recovery... anyway thanks for your job

CwM can do exactly the same afaik, i've already made quite a few update.zip with it.
after reading all your notes, do you actually mean that we can't use format on those patitions?
if you do, well, i learned it the hard way, and delete_recursive also works for me.
thanks for putting up an excellent example if not for anything else, it's much needed.

Correct, you can only format with the stock recovery ( Hence the reason why I used the Stock Recovery ) any Partition with cwm recovery will cause a non-booting system..
regarding cwm I've not tested it, so Likely it will work.. Steven is still working on the cwm recovery & there is no point in me adding another cwm bootstrap recovery... Mine is just pure stock & works perfect.
I'm still weeding through the /bin /etc file's to find exactly what needs left...
but main goal was to provide an example of what is needed to make an update.zip with out breaking the system.
