[ROM] Cyanogen's 4.2.1 Full Update - Unlicensed & Illegitimate (Plus Theme Template)

[ROM] Cyanogen's 4.2.1 Full Update - Unlicensed & Illegitimate (Plus Theme Template)
Sorry.. I am pulling this all, too many issues.

as much as im for cyan following the rules... i want to say one thing...
in all my time using cyan, its always updated perfectly, with my only having to MAYBE wipe occasionally before update... but the last dual update... I LOST Root.. had to go all the way back and get it again, then when i finally flashed the second rom, it was running slower than EVER before.. which then made me decide to try out the hero roms, since i figured it couldnt get any slower..
So to sum it all up.. i think this is a GREAT idea and i dont think CYAN should or will get upset from it cause he needs to do what HE needs to do and everyone else can do what THEY need to do..
just make sure that CYAN ALWAYS gets his credit when this is done..
thank you!

Good initiative. But if I install this to remove a theme, can I flash the other cyanogen's updates over it as per normal? For example, 4.1.9999.

Uhh.. wow.. All I was trying to do was contribute in some small way to the community effort here. I figured I could clear some of the congestion from the official thread by helping newbies install the ROM. Obviously it is too hard for some people to follow the simple instructions Cyanogen posted, which is why that thread exploded...
But, to each his own..

Dude ignore the haters.. live strong your movement shall!!

Yup, this will put your system files at a point where the Cyanogen backuptool.sh will recognize the proper ADP based files, and backup/restore them as expected. All md5sum's match for the required libraries, etc..

Yea flashing IS common sense.. but check it out.. when you do the SIMPLE task of flashing and a group of issues come.. COMMON SENSE says look for a better route!

I think my non CM recovery image hates more than 1 update per boot....If this fixes my lag bug,thanks!

good idea to make just 1 step flash.. just sit back and wait for your C&D letter from google.. until then shake the haters off !!!

So instead you post more [email protected] to take up room in a dev section? How about in the q&a...
OR LET THE DEV'S POST THERE OWN WORK!!!

Dude.. seriously... do you post this crap in each of the other [ROM] threads where people are just taking other peoples work and calling it their own? At least I don't take any credit for anyone's work. And I suppose this could have gone into the General Dream section, but I felt it would garner the most attention here, as it is where people go to look for ROM's and ROM updates... Honestly, if you are that disturbed by it, report my thread to the mods and let them decide.

To those of you saying let the Dev's post their own work, why don't you let the Dev's handle the situation. If Cyanogen has a problem he will make it known.
Otherwise, nice work daveid!

This is really cool and all for those who haven't flashed their 4.0.4 or 4.1.11.1, but wasn't the whole reason why it wasn't in one update was because Cyanogen got a C&D. If I had to be against this, my reason would be, because this might incite some more C&D towards Cyanogen and maybe more hate mail from Google again. Regardless nice work, but I think you should ask Cyanogen what he thinks first; out of respect of course.

your_helpful_hand SHUT THE F*** UP please. You're not helping anyone. Just embarassing yourself. Like dave said someone HAD to do this since cyanogen couldn't. He's just trying to help. So Mr.helpful hand be helpful and stop trolling.

yeah, that's so true. f*ck haters... this is gonna be a big help to the community especially those that are having problems with the new 4.1.99999999 update.

This is only going to create another **** storm, all the people that are having trouble flashing cyan's rom in the first place are now going to post there questions here to and we only need one thread for that!. If people really need to sit here and ask how to flash 10 ****ing times then they should be messing with there phone in the first place.
Just read the damn instructions!!!

Are you an idiot? Why would you repackage everything into one update after Cyanogen stop doing so. If you can't read simple upgrade instruction on the real Cyanogen rom then why are you using a rooted phone for anyways.

Google upset at this? Let them send a C&D to you.
Until then, people can flash this if they don't want to go through the normal CM installation procedure. I don't see anything wrong with this.
Don't feed the troll, guys.

Really, I don't think we should have needed even the one thread for that. It got so far out of hand, so fast, that Cyanogen didn't want to post his updates to XDA anymore.
So, I thought this might lighten his burden. As I am now the one who is violating Google's T&C's, not him. And, this was the method I used to update from 4.1.11.1 to 4.1.99, one single flash - theme and all. I simply made an update resembling the one I posted here. And the update couldn't have been smoother.
But seriously, I welcome the criticism... however, it is really up to Cyanogen and the MODS of XDA whether this is something that should be removed (or allowed). So, voice your opinions... but, if you really think this should be pulled, report it to the mods, send Cyanogen messages, whatever it takes for them to chime in and say "Enough, take it down".

Alright i'll be the first to post that i tried it....
Cyans build's stopped working on my phone MYTOUCH3g AFTER 4.0.4 STABLE. I DID all his steps correctly and still all i could get was to the my touch screen and then it reboots every time. (Yes phone was fully wipped as well as sd card and repartitioned for 3ext) Also tried another sdcard.
Either way i tried this one and my phone STILL gets stuck on the my touch screen and reboots till i pull battery. So i guess cyan's recent builds just wont work for my phone but Thanks for posting this as it was a bunch easier..

love it
this is great
thanks

Strange solution about CM5.0.7-t1's battery bug

I am now using test-1 without battery problem.
Yesterday I upgraded to test-2 but the connection problem never fix even I pushed the old libhtc_ril.so back.
Thus, I want to restore to test-1.
1. I first flash the test-1 rom
2. flash the gapp
3. nandroid restore to test-1 image
4. flash the test-1 rom and gapp again
This fixed the problem, I have been staying at 99% for 1.5 hours.
I don't know if the steps above really fix it but I only did these and finally using test-1 without battery problem

Lol so let me get this straight, u flashed the rom, extracted nandroid images and essentially replace those same files with another copy, then reflashed the rom. Where in this do you see the battery resolution lies ?
I think you wiped your battery stats and thats why you're noticing an improved battery life.
Other than that if im missing something please enlighten because the 4 steps could be replaced with one step. NANDROID ONCE.

Does this make sense to anyone? I don't get it lol, I don't see the solution at all. It's basically nearly the same as flashing test1 (without your nandroids and stuff) and your battery probably hasn't refreshed yet. Just because it has lost 1% in 1.5hrs, doesn't mean it'll last 150 hours. (Hopefully my math didn't fail there!)

Corroboration?
Has anyone else tried this? I'm at work, but I can try it when I get home, or maybe on my lunch break.

Hello
I confirm the above method also works with Bart backup, 1:30 after the battery is down to less than 1% having used a little video,yesterday in the night before, she fell 70%.
I thank you because it works on my G1.
Sorry for my bad English

so lemme get this right you went back to test 1 to do this, then reinstalled test 2 or just left test 1 on there?

hello
I installed my Evolution based on the test2, Bart did a backup, then reinstalled and over and re-flashed my evolution with libhtc_ril.so of test1 and my problem is solved battery for two now.
Thank you again.
See you

My apologies for not putting the "known" into a cute, cuddly teddy bear, wrapping it up into a box with a big pretty pink bow on top. Then handing it to you and wishing you the best of time in life.
Sorry, I'm telling you like it is. If you followed cyanogen, or just about any other important dev, or even did some searching, this problem was already address a while back, and had a solution (as per the one I just gave you). So, I continue to tell you, and the rest of the people who are indeed, idiots, that they are, in the hopes that one day they will rise up, stop scratching their heads, and realize they are in fact, and idiot.
Now I feel that if I do this enough, maybe the rest of the world will get their thumbs out of their asses and actually make some kind of the change in the world instead of constantly looking for invalid solutions, an asking questions that have already been answered. I put a donation button their for the people who get this, and are not idiots. So thanks for pointing out your own stupidity, you saved me a hell of a lot of work.
Now, can we continue to browse these forums, and not get our panties in a bunch because big, mean, tehseano told you like it is, and just continue to search and read, and learn a little more about Android every day? Well thats what I'm going to do, but you're more than welcome to sit back and comment on this, which I'll probably get a giggle or two out of, and let the rest of my members of #teamdouche and my followers get a kick out of it.

ok
i'm sorry

In my opinion, Booker-T is just sharing his experience on how he got his battery to operate normally. There's no reason you should be calling everyone above your first reply idiots. Personally, I tried the battery recalibration fix off the Cyanogen Wiki with both test1/test2 with no success. There's a 30 minute drive between my house and the University I attend and my battery has gone down from 97% (when I backed out of my garage) to 82% (when I parked on campus).
I'm not trying to complain about my battery issue because I will find a solution soon enough, but rather address your rudeness to the other members. I've read thorough the Cyanogen 5.0.7 thread on this forum and on several others and from what I've seen, there's numerous people that say recalibrating their battery did not solve the problem for them.
Now before you go on to make another post about how we're all idiots, I advise you take a step back and think about the context of the situation: you're calling us idiots because recalibrating the battery didn't work in our cases and Booker-T shared the way he fixed his.

What worked for me was....
turning off the battery percentage display through spare parts. After I did that, my battery life pretty much went back to what it was pre 2.1 on my G1.
Sometimes there is no single solution to a problem. The last time I recalibrated my battery was when I first got this dinosaur of a phone last year.
You're all idiots by the way. j/k

Correct me if i'm wrong but I don't see how that is really accomplishing anything. Flash Test1, then gapps, then nandroid, then restore. I unplugged 7am this morning and am still @93% with light use.
Recalibrate your battery's people.

sometimes the reclibration works sometimes it dosnt. seems to depend on the phone and a bit of luck. tried it on test 1 and worked for a day. the next day at work may battery died sompoint in my 8 hour shift. recalibrating didnt seem to help after that. went to test 2 and didnt help to much

Market 3.2.0

tired of being a leacher decided to finally sign up and start sharing, well today i was lurking and i found a whole dump of ICS apps (forgot were sorry) but dont worrie almost every app isnt able to work yet (they were just released last night) people are working on them.
but one app that did work was "Phonesky.apk" which is the market i just renamed it Vending.apk set the permissions with root explorer restart and it works perfect, i havent rly tested much with it, looks the same cant relly say if its faster or not. but here it is.
anyone has any useful info on this please post and if its worthy i will add it to this post

The new market 3.2.0 you collected from the Rom dump was leaked few weeks ago.

You really got butt-hurt over him posting this, 'ey? Relax dude. Reposts really don't make that big of a difference worth popping a blood vessel over.

A guy that did a reposting criticized another for reposting his repost lol
CM7 nightly

thanks guys for not flaming me except that first poster lol, i just found this and seen that the ICS package was released last night (were i found it) and i put them all on my phone and this was the only one that was any good that actually worked, i wasnt aware this was already posted and im sry for the repost but, atleast those who didnt catch it have a chance to get it from me. =P

The funny thing is, if he hadn't come in here acting like a tool bag, this thread probably would have died already and been buried. His attack on you posting the apk makes me wonder if his version is modified... Yours comes up a different size, which obviously means one of you changed something about the app before posting it. I saw someone mention in his thread that his is "different" than other market apps in some way (can't remember exactly). So his attack on you has me wondering if maybe he had tampered with it and sees yours as a threat since any one looking at both will notice there's a size difference between the two.

Yeah, dude needs to relax. Your intention was to help. No need for all the caps. And if he's so concerned about the XDA rules, surely he knows that it's also a violation to present oneself as a mod, i.e. telling people what they can and cannot post Whenever people complain about XDA it's people like that that's always the top complaint.

I didn't intended to hurt anyone
First of all let me make it clear that, i didn't intended to hurt anyone nor try to pretend as a moderator.

I appreciate the edits you've made to your original post, it's much better now. It's just that, it's good to remind people to search and show them where the matter has already been covered but we should try and be respectful and helpful about it. Your original post came across as much too harsh a response, considering that the OP was genuinly trying to be helpful.

I think the problem was two-fold. First, you used all caps for part of your post originally, which implies you're yelling, and you were aware that you used caps since only part if it was capped. Second, your avatar is off putting. It gives the air of authority (to me, anyway), which I think just amplified the use of caps lock in your original post.
Thanks for changing your post, it is much friendlier now.
But do you have an answer to why the two supposedly identical apk's are different sizes?

[Q] I broke it!!! I think?

total noob and i need help.... here is my problem... I unlocked my new infuse and then rooted the phone. everything was fine fo several hours and all of the sudden it started vibrating and would reset with out turning all the way off. the android drop screen does not function. everytime you try to pull it down it starts the above issue. if a text comes thru it does it again. i did a factory reset and this didnt help. i still have superuser on the phone but cant seem to get phone to function it has power and works to an extent. you can tap apps and go thru most of the phone but it will reset and go back to main screen and vibrate and start process all over.... any ideas. i am a noob and not very technical, prob why my phone is f'ed up right now. using my samsung captivate for now. please help the new guy. i looked for threads with similar issues but found nothing with search bar. thanks ahead of time

I'm not familiar with unlocking...i do know if I'm not mistake you have to root first then unlock....but that should not effect your phone...but phones are so different....even though we all have the same model....
I would reload stock and re root....then re unlock....ate you runnning stock or custom rom?

Why yes glad you asked...check my signature...for the iset page....
You will find a **** ton of info....since your somewhat new...do a lil reading....ok ....do a lot...
Look for the one click methods by qkster....although the new odin links are great also....your choice....
And any questions the op for those threads can provide you with great help and you can pm me also...
And don't forget to thank the op dev that provided you with what you need...kk

In that case I like to suggest you to unbrick the cellphone (restore again to FROYO) and test the cellphone... If you do it, you will loose the root, however the unlock will remains
You can re-root the cellphone later... the issue could be also being caused by an app that you had installed
*** If your cellphone is from AT&T you can use the GTG's Ultimate Unbrick tool, to go back to FROYO
Remember that you must have ODIN to unbrick the cellphone..

If you can not figure out how to go back to stock, then i know mobiletechvideos. They got my old infuse running again when the usb port got borked. If you need a link ask me, idk were the link is lol. Trust me though, it worked well. Only thing is it costs money. Better off to learn how to do it unless if hardware is actually broken, not software.
Btw you may want to learn how to unbrick and learn your basics before you attempt at doing something like this again. Just making a very logical suggestion.

For sure check out the Odin videos... I have a feeling that they are going to come in handy a few times..
Everyone has to start somewhere and we all had to learn, I was really overwhelmed when I first started looking into it, but then it was like "oh! That's it?"
Most people here are super helpful (I'm not... I'm a n00b) but don't be mailing your phones to someone you don't know or anything like that... you're begging for someone to rob ya..
Just take it slow and read, read, read... when you have read enough to have a handle on it.. read some more!

For sure check out the Odin videos... I have a feeling that they are going to come in handy a few times..

Awesome brother!
Welcome to the addiction!
It is so interesting to me what can be done with minor and major changes how simple things make HUGE differences.
Next thing you know, you will be grinding out apktool changes and making themes!

Am i ready to root?

Are you ready to root your phone!?
I am writing this out do to the amount of people who seem to start doing things on their phones without understanding what it is they're really doing.
Now you might say "I know I know exad, I root many phoen, I want 2 show peopel how smrt I am! I custumize everything and maek it lewk cool!" But there's really quite a bit of risk associate with the rooting process and even afterwards! Here, I will explain some of the common terms and risks associated with rooting, it will be like an index of knowledge I've accumulated being here on XDA.
So first off, what is root? Why is it dangerous?
I will tell you very directly, if you do not know exactly what root is, and/or how to manage access, you are not at all ready to root.
Root is a term to mean Administrative Access. Meaning you have full control over the software of your phone and it's system files. When you are given root access, you can alter any system files. This can obviously be damaging. Perhaps you trust yourself not to do anything crazy or destructive, which I think is the case for most people but often, root access is given to third party apps! So what can an app with root access do with your phone technically?.. Well, ANYTHING IT'S DEVELOPER wants. Overclock your CPU, create a backdoor to your phone, pull/steal personal information. The sky's the limit.
*This is a work in reprogress* More content will continue to be added until I feel this is complete."

This Is great...unfortunately 90% of new people won't see or read this.. most new people search "att one x root"

No. Thank you sir. I haven't thought about the basics in a long time. Been to busy just flashing away lol.

There, that should help that! If it helps at least 1 person, it'll have been worth it.

I was thinking of doing a write up, but with work and army, I have no time. As you can see I am constantly on the app. However, this is awesome. I wish I had this when I started a few months ago. I just learned on my own. Also the android slang guide helped too.

I wrote up something like this a while ago but decided not to post it because noobs never read these things. I may just throw it up in General.

Great work I will add it to my FAQ

Thanks for all your help, unfortunately I am one of those noobs who had been studying the root process for just about a week and thought I had a firm grasp on the concept. Fortunately for me I haven't done anything yet to brick my phone this is definitely a humbling experience haha -heads back to the forums to learn some more- :good:

Hmm not sure why this doesn't have more recognition... It took me months to figure this crap out. With a little experience, this guide could turn a total noob into a competant android rooter in a week or so. I remember my first posts on XDA *shudders*. So.... consider this a BUMPITY-BUMP
EDIT: That said, I know the first place many people go is general (that's what I did) so maybe this would get more views by the people who actually need it in general.

I would have loved this when I was rooting
Thanks for this. I've already rooted my phone and had to find much of this information on my own. It's nice to see it all in one place.

It's been a while since I've rooted a phone so I came here from another guide to refresh my memory a bit.
This thread is a joke, right? One of the more useless threads I've seen.

no I rage quit a few months back and deleted it all. I can rewrite it but people don't read anymore anyway (judging by Q&A)

I came here through the link in FAQ! Too bad you deleted it
I can understand not updating because few people read this post but why actually delete it?
