[ROM] NFX-Sprint.STOCK.2.32.651.2.ODEX.A2SD Updated:11/23/2010

NFX-Sprint.STOCK.2.32.651.2.ODEX.A2SD
This is the New Update from Sprint this is a completely stock rom with everything from the factory included.
You can use this as either an update or a full reflash, it will keep you data during istall. I still suggest a full wipe but it is not needed
Included Extras:
Rooted
Busybox
ChainsDD Superuser 2.3.6.1
wireless tether 1.6.0
Quick boot
A2sd 2.7.5.2
Memory Tweak Settings "1536,2048,4096,5120,11264,12288"
Overclocked to 691
Dalvik to Cache
Newest Sprint VVM
Apps added or moved to DATA: easier removal of most junk
com.estrongs.android.pop.apk
com.google.android.apps.maps.apk
com.siriusapplications.quickboot.apk
placeholder
Quickoffice.apk
Sprint_Navigation.apk
Sprint_NFL.apk
Sprint_Nscar.apk
Sprint_TV.apk
Sprint_TVWidget.apk
SprintZone.apk
wireless_tether_1_60_htc.apk
This should be more that an optimal setup for 85% of most users. If you feel the need to tweak further then you need to remove these 2 files from system/etc/init.d/ folder
File 1: 05dalvik2cache - controls dalvik
File 2: 06memtweak - controls memory settings
and then reboot.
I set this so you can flash and use with the best experience possible.
Enjoy

I will add a list of what was updated later but on a quick look thru, it seems gps, mediaplayer, some internal setting and the addition of sprint zone.

Awesome! Downloading now. Thank you very much once again. Time to back up all my apps and nandriod and flash this thing once again.
EDIT: So can I just flash this or do we need to do a full wipe? I would prefer not to as I have way to many apps and settings and all that stuff and would save me alot of time if I didnt have to restore all that stuff. Either way, I wont mind if I have to, just dont want to if I dont have to.

does this include the new baseband and pri?

No I will be posting them after work, for those who want it

Cool, great work And the new baseband would be great, can you make it flashable? Haven't had a radio upgrade forever

Tried to flash, it says it's bad. I'm using Darch's 1.7 recovery, do you need to use clockwork?

Everything looks good. It was a little slow at first startup. I tried to flash without wiping and there were a few issues. I wiped and set everything up and it looks pretty good.
Hopefully the Baseband and PRL will be flashable.

It probably will, but things like the trackball won't

lets see if I get the whole thing this time... last time only got 48mb...
Had thought about going back to stock, updating via OTA, doing the one click root and then restoring this over-top to get the new baseband...
but discovered everytime I try and RUU my phone back to .6, I get a message about the bootloader causing the RUU to fail... (at least it didn't brick my phone like I'd initially feared).

Posting fixed version now, just ran it on my device.

You are NOT doing a full wipe!

...if you are not formatting /system.
I keep reading on almost every development thread, pages of posts from people stating that they are having all kinds of problems and it is the fault of the rom they flashed. Then after several people try to help out, the poster of the problem will usually state something like, "I DID DO A FULL WIPE DAMMMMMITT!!! I cleared cache, dalvik and EVEN did a factory reset...I even fixed permissions after I flashed...THIS ROM IS JUNK!!!!"
Time and time again, I see that they neglected to format /system. If you don't include this as a part of your "full wipe", you can leave behind remnants of your previous rom, which is most probably going to cause problems.

couldn't have said it better myself. especially when coming from a 2.3.5 rom but should do it for any.

I have continually recommended this also, but maybe doing it here in a separate thread will get better attention.
I format /system between ALL ROM flashes (only takes a few more SECONDS if you are also wiping davlik and cache).
Per your OP - I have had very few issues as a result. I really think most of the posts on problems that are not know issues in these threads are the direct result of not doing this.
PS - formatting /system does also not always work either. I have not had problems so far with my G2X from not doing a "real full wipe" (fastboot system erase....), but I did a few times when I was crack-flashing nightlies over on the MT4G forum. I could not otherwise get WiFi and/or bluetooth to work at times even after doing a factory reset and formatting /system.

besides the wide data, cache, dalvik and format/system, is it safe or recommended to format anything else when flashing a new rom?

Um, how? There's no option in CWM. Do you shell in and do an "rm -rf" in the /system directory?

Its under mounts and storage I believe.
Also this whole problem could easily be alleviated by rom makers putting a format /system in there install script like CM does. Not defending dumb asses, just saying it would be helpful for the people less in the know.

Oh, CM formats /system? Awesome, I only use CM, so I don't have to worry about this issue.

To be honest, it's stuff like this that has kept me from flashing a ROM. I've started a procedure doc, filling in details as I read threads. I hadn't seen this one...
Some day I will hopefully have an all-encompassing "this is how you flash a ROM" doc, and I will post it. Unless it already exists?
Then I have to start on a Kernel flash doc...
Just so I can use a stable phone...
I write embedded C for a living, and music is my hobby - I didn't mean for my phone to become a hobby, also. But it is addicting...

+1, I make sure EVERYTHING is wiped before I flash a ROM.

AS others have now said, it is under mounts and storage. It fortunately is no longer right below format SD Card - a number of people have done so accidentally.

This was done with SDK tools fastboot commands. I have not had to try it yet on a G2x, but I assume it would work - other fastboot commands do.
I usually also added the -w to wipe cache and data at the same time.

Tegra stuff does have fastboot, on the O2X and Advent Vega, if you wipe the boot partition and reboot the phone drops to fastboot. I would assume the G2X is the same.
You can flash or boot a recovery, and boot a boot image, although you can't flash a boot image for some reason. That's all I've tried though.

Yes...the internal SD card. This is an often neglected step and could cause problems (such as boot loops) if not formatted.

Interesting, I've done many ROM flashes using about 5 different types of ROM and not had to do this but I'll bear it in mind.
I just do a data wipe when using different types if ROM and just cache when upgrading the same ROM. Maybe I've been lucky?

I've never had any issues just wiping data/caches when switching roms. But it doesn't hurt to start with as clean a slate as possible.

You have been lucky - especially in flashing different types of ROMs on the same device
Also, it takes a lot more work to reload data (unless you are using advanced restore) and most flashing issues happen with the system rather than data. I always try to preserve data but clear the system.

Way to exaggerate...the entire process takes about a minute and a half, lol.

[ROM] Unofficial P999 CM7 Kang Thread

I notice you guys don't seem to have one of these, I made one in the O2X dev section so as not to balls up the proper nightly thread, anyone else who likes to build, feel free to add to this thread.
I was asked to build this in lieu of a proper nightly, it contains all commits up to and including the OMAP4 touch to focus one.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/q0gx7iruh2qhguh/update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-G2x-KANG-signed.zip
MD5: e79a5c128bd72c50fa0735cc4551d80f
As this is now based on the EXT4 file system, you might want to convert /data and /cache to EXT4 as well, as they will remain EXT3 (but mounted as EXT4). This zip will sort that for you, although if you wipe cache, it will revert to EXT3 for some reason (at least on the O2X it does, so I'm assuming this is the same): http://www.mediafire.com/file/a9gor6o2b26co8r/p999-ext4.zip
DISCLAIMER:
I do not own a G2X, I have in no way tested this update, you might want to consider some sort of backup before flashing these, even if someone else has already done it and reported all is well.

Has anyone used the ext4 conversion for the rest of the system?

I have used the converter and it works and there was no data loss or hiccups. To the above poster /cache is converted when flashing as long as you wiped it before hand. It will not convert partitions that have data in them.

When it says wipe cache, is that during the flash process or anytime you wipe the cache after the ext4 flash it will revert to ext3?

No just the usual wipe cache wipe dalvik install nightly fix permissions. It won't revert everytime u wipe.

Yeah that's my experience of my O2X's behaviour, the G2X might not do it. Someone test it, do a cache wipe and check the mounts while still in recovery (it will say EXT4 if you boot to CM7 regardless of what it actually is).
If it does revert to EXT3, you can use the zip again.
PS. There is no need to wipe cache or dalvik cache when flashing a new nightly or kang, it's hashes will be invalid and it gets regenerated anyway.

I was talking about flashing the utility that will convert to ext4. If we wipe cache will it revert the system as well as the data? Also theres another utility that will convert the data to ext4 in the other kang thread. Are they both the same?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Right, now I understand
No, /system won't be changed, just /cache.
The 'utilities' might be very similar, but I doubt they're the same, as I made this one.

What about the /data will that stay on ext4 or will it revert?

Wiping cache wont hurt it, and apparently wiping/factory reset from recovery (v5.0.2.0) will set it to EXT4, although I've not tested it.

FYI: This kang (and ext4 script) is working great for me so far. Thanks!

The idea is that anyone can add a build to this thread, so that if an interesting new commit pops up, and people don't want to wait, they post it here. I don't mind running off updated versions if necessary.
I was hoping to emulate the O2X version of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118091

We have two new commits that I don't think mean much for our phone, but once we get a couple more can we get a new kang pretty please with cherry on top .
Please lets quit talking about the other thread. Its gone and now we have a much nicer, friendlier, and less hostile thread. Lets just enjoy it!

Now, Rusty, where did you pull the kernel from? Also, any errors on pulling the CM source? My pull would eventually crap out even with -f and go nuts about android.git.kernel being down even though I edited the repo script.

I've had it crap out on me with -f as well, I used repo sync -f -j32 with success though, possibly doing 32 things at once helps with it.
As for the kernel, it comes with a prebuilt one as part of the sync (find it @ /devices/lge/p999/kernel), but if you want the source, create a new directory and git clone https://github.com/CyanogenMod/lge-kernel-star.git to download it. You can update it with git pull from then on.

Thread purged of useless posts.
A. For reasons stated in the OP the releases in this thread are NOT the same as Fitsnugly's kangs.
B. This thread is not the place to discuss Fitsnugly or his contributions to XDA and the Android community. This thread is for you to discuss Rusty's Unofficial CM7 Kangs.
C. Fitsnugly is/was a very valued contributor to the forums. He left because of whiny, "entitled" users who ignored his requests in his OPs. Anyone I see complaining about how he chose to leave will be met with a temporary ban.
Let's keep discussion in this thread on topic. This means Rusty's kangs ONLY.
Edit: Thanks herzzreh for the heads up on the post I missed.

[Request completed.] Mega wipe, super wipe and simple wipe.

This script is only for the international SIII. This would save so much time if someone could make it work on our phones. Any takers?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832326
EDIT: Thanks Mastamoon.
Megawipe: Use this zip to completely format your phone. It will delete everything in your phone and will bring it to bare bones. After it install any ROM for a fresh experience without any conflicts with in the frame work.It deletes the Data, Cache, System and Preload partitions of your internal memory. So Beware!
SuperWipe: This is a simple factory reset and you can use it to move from one ROM to another without bothering about framework conflicts.It deletes the Data Folders and Cache partitions of your internal memory.
Factory Reset: Use it to do a Factory Reset, which wipes your Data partition, Cache Partition and Dalvik Cache. It will delete everything on your Internal SDcard.
SimpleWipe: A simple wipe is as the name suggests a Simple Cache and Dalvik wipe. You can use it to clear the said partitions before updating to a newer version of your ROM. Also, You can use it before you have flash a new ROM.
Download below and original credits go to zoot1.

thread cleaned. To those that wish to flame do it else where. To the OP... searching for the answer and/or doing it yourself would be my suggestion. Bashing people for their responses is not the best way to get the answer you are looking for. Consider this everyone's warning in this thread. Infractions will be handed out next.

I looked at this and thought...
CWM has these options.
And even to make this would require having to navigate to the ZIP file anyways.
Which in turns will compromise the time it would have taken.
I looked at the script for it and it looks like it can be made for any phone. There was an option that made it GT specific.
Neat idea but i dont see a true need for something that can already be done elsewhere.

Here, I modified the script to allow it to work on our phones. Just changed the check for the phone model. I tried the Simple Wipe on my phone, worked fine so I expect the others to work also. Just didn't want to test.

Perfect example why scripts like these will never be on my phone. And why these shouldn't even be made, too many accidents can happen.

Why would anybody flash something with the word wipe in it without knowing exactly what it does. User error. Like people who blame guns for idiots killing each other.
Cant dumb down everything in this world if you cant read the OP you should be using a Jitterbug.

I'm not new to android there pal, I took a risk by testing this and got burned. But **** put up a warning dude, not just a link to another thread. My internet was on and off so I just tested it because that page wouldn't load. So it was human error as well as a lack of explanation....so get off your high horse buddy. Those scripts should be taken down and I shouldn't have been so lazy as to try them. But once again op, add a friggen description/ warning. I test for devs all the time but warnings tend to be spelled out. I never once blamed you but was mad I lost all my pics. My response was solely to be a warning to others. Not aimed at you.

So your not "new to android" but just flash a random zip without knowing what it will do? A zip that has WIPE as part of its name? I hope as a long time android user, you at least had a backup?

Haha I like that last part. And no I was dumb for a split second and didn't have a backup. I figured those wipes were like what a dev made for the rezound which would just wipe data cache and dalvik in the phone and not touch the storage. It would wipe like ten times. Purely user error. But op please add some form of warning.
In no way was I trying to attack either you mast or the op. I was very angry at myself and vented here. But a bold faced warning should be added so someone else isn't as dumb as I was.

The Simple Wipe zip does just that.. just a cache wipe. You just picked the wrong zip to experiment with. :good:
Don't feel bad, there is always 1 of you guys in every thread.
OP, please add a warning to RTFM or something.

Just to confirm before I flash, SUPER_WIPE will NOT wipe my internal SD card or my external one, just the DATA partition and other necessary partitions for flashing roms, correct? Also, what is in the data partition, data for your apps?

Thanks Mastamoon. Updated OP.
Edit: Weird to see this thread resurrected, lol.

can you please explain how to use it ?

You pick which level of wipe you are looking for, download the appropriate zip and flash in recovery.

Hey Mastamoon, I looked through the thread and was wondering the same question as the above post. Can you confirm if super wipe will nuke the s3's internal/eternal sdcards?
