Installing a newer rom version

Sorry to beat a dead horse but I have to ask. Ive receive some good advice on how to do this but I'm still not total clear on the procedure. I'm currently running infused 1.5 and would like to update to newest version. In lamins terms what are the exact steps. I've referanced the dev section but all I really see is how to install from stock. When I referenced the dev page I noticed and downloaded the full infused 1.5.2 and when I looked into root manager its listed as whitesmoke installer. If that's what I need than I suppose I need instructions from this point on. Thanks.

MUCH easier and faster way is simply go to free ROM Manager, go to gtg and download 1.5.0 to 1.5.2 update only which is under 3MB, then phone will auto reboot and install everything. Takes less than 2 minutes.

That's what I thought but I think I was told not to use rom manager, I think I was told that because of the possibility of green text but I'm red so maybe I could have used rom manager. Any who, I installed the new version and it was pretty painless. I'm kind of upset in a small way, I lost the slide unlock and slide to silent, it went back to the original slide. Any way to get it back?

Geek For Me is proud to present:
Fresh Shift 4.1.1
for your Sprint CDMA Evo Shift!
Included V6 SuperCharger in /system/xbin/V6_SuperCharger_u8.sh for those who want to use it.
Thanks to zeppelinrox for this. I am NOT the dev and won’t be supporting any questions with this script as it’s extensive. Please visit the original thread if you have any.
Added Fresh Updater (v1.4.0)
This will allow you to get fresh rom updates and mods straight from fresh updater
Check http://link.geekfor.me/updater for help on using it
Added some helpful text prompts to hopefully alleviate questions from when people don’t read the FAQ.
Removed some deprecated options to clean up the menus
NOTE: While you can still use fresh updater to download any updates/mods and then flash manually, it will only reboot and flash automatically if you’re using TWRP recovery. It will NOT work with clockwordmod to flash automatically.
Downgraded busybox to 1.18.2 to resolve some scripting issues
Updated DarkTremor apps2sd to 2.7.5.2-1
NOTE: DarkTremor apps2sd is not working on the Shift. If you are getting issues with FC’s or your phone rebooting when you install apps then run: adb shell a2sd remove
I’m looking in to this but I’ll most likely be removing it entirely as the dev for DT no longer supports it.
UPDATE: Spoke to the DT dev who wasn’t sure why it would be doing that however said that the project is abandoned and he won’t be looking in to fixing it. So I will be removing apps2sd in future versions. If you are getting the reboot issue when trying to install apps then you MUST remove it: adb shell a2sd remove
Updated Vending/Market to 3.3.12
Updated SuperUser to 3.0.7
Not every mod in this rom is outlined here if it was done in a previous version. Check the full change log here: http://link.geekfor.me/shiftchangelog

Why am I getting FC’s on gmail/market/voice search/whatever?
FC’s can be a common issue when /system/app contains an app that you already have on /data/app. So if you get a FC on gmail, the market, or something similar, then it can generally be fixed 99.99% of the time by either wiping that particular apps data (Settings < Manage Applications < All < YOUR APP < Clear Data), or going in and uninstalling it which will actually force it to use the one /system/app.
Or, of course, can be fixed 100% of the time by doing a full data wipe before installing! I have verified this rom as 100% FC free (at boot at least) so if you have issues, it’s your particular setup.
Why do I get invalid signature when flashing?
This zip is signed the same as I’ve signed every other rom for the last 2.5 years but was getting invalid signature from TWRC 1.1.1. So make sure signature checking is disabled. You can compare the md5 below to make sure your download is good though.
Is this Ice Cream Sandwich? It says it’s version 4.x?
No. This is version 4.x of Fresh Rom. The Android version is always in my change log and unless it’s tagged as a dev rom, will always be the newest official OTA, or possibly a beta tag for a leaked OTA.
How do I setup V6 SuperCharger?

How do I remove Carrier IQ / CIQ?

I always listen to the community as a whole and if enough people want something then I will generally add it to my rom. So feel free to ask. However if it's something that only a few people want then I request that you do it yourself and submit a mod/theme/patch for the others to use!

Road map for next version:
All changes included in newest version

Thanks flipz for pushing this out. I have been running it since you let the donors have first crack at it. Ran really smooth with stock kernel,but as I like to play and try things I flashed dodgejcr's ext4 conversion and his 1.6 sense kernel . Things is pretty snappy only runnin it at 900mhz,smartass and BFQ.If there are any issues will report them,also is there and Odex version in the works? Thx for giving us shifters another option.

I'd be interested in knowing if you have any issues flashing roms once you do the ext4 conversion? The updater-script mounts it as ext3.

He has a zip that you flash to convert back to ext 3 then I flash any rom the mounts as ext 3 then flash the rom,then back the rom up flash the ext4 zip,restore the nand the flash the ext4 kernel an bam you have fresh shift runnin ext4.

Yeah FDX's method would work but for some reason, even while the filesystem is ext4, CWM and TWRP can still mount it as ext3 for the ROM flash. I havent heard of any problems with it just yet. As a suggestion, it would be awesome to have a sort of 'universal mounting' going on in the updater script to prevent any bugs that MAY occur.
Like I posted in my thread:
Code:
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
would use busybox to mount the /system partition regardless of FS type. Hope this helps you. If you need any additional help, let me know. Ill be happy to help in anyway I can.

They are in his/her original post.

@ dodger, flipz and fdx after alot of reading it seems that you can use the call for ext3 to mount both ext3 and 4 without issues.
so all our updater-scripts sound work without issues
Nice to see you around flipz

when i downloaded app it would reboot

holy crap flips made a fresh rom for the shift, i loved your roms for the hero man!

Can not install Apps every time I try it reboots, i cleared cache partion and Dalvik cache. also did wipe data/factory reset. issue still there. any suggestions? thanks for all your work on this rom, my guess is I'm missing something.

I just downloaded and reflashed. Not having the issue you describe,so maybe it could be a bad flash or a bad download of the rom try re-download and re-flash it. Make sure to wipe everything 3x's .

I just tried installing an app and it rebooted as well. It doesn't reboot until it hits the "installing" part after the download. I tried it with fastboot on and off and still the same thing.
I'll try wiping and re-flashing everything again and see if that makes a difference.

Changing pattern lock color

Having trouble changing the color of the pattern lock on my S3, I've already swapped out the appropriate png's in the framework and the strangest thing is if I go into settings and security and set a pattern lock it is showing up there the appropriate color but when I lock the screen it hasn't changed when I unlock it there very odd. Anybody have any ideas?

And like I said the even stranger part is that in the settings menu it works
But on the lockscreen its still showing the old one

Oddly enough I made a totally unrelated change in twframework-res via ninjamorph and rebooted and blam they are now working properly on the lock screen, silly phone I rebooted like 3 or 4 times thinking just maybe it would apply then it just does it lol.

Could you upload the files and how to do this. Its just what I wanted to do. Thanks

Oh sure thing, easiest way to do is using ninjamorph just download it from the market, open framework-res.apk (its in /system/framework) and go to the res folder and then the drawable-xhdpi folder and replace indicator_code_lock_point_area_green_holo.png with the blue one from the post and also indicator_code_lock_point_area_green.png also with the blue one from the post. Once you have done this back out to the main ninjamorph screen and select finish project select framework-res.apk, tell it yes for the first one about it replacing the apk, then tell it no for zip align, allow it to do its thing then reboot. That should do it for you if you have any other questions just ask

Thanx. I tried doing this with the latest ninjamorph I bought from playstore just now and luckily I just made a backup with twrp. Everything replaced the 2 images but when I went to save the app it gave me 4 or 5 diff. Steps. I did like you said but it froze up on work in progress and I had to remove the battery and was in a bootloop. I wish I could get it to work. I think it's the new ninjamorph might be diff. From the one you used.

First of all sorry for not telling you once you go through the prompts and apply it you will get FC's and your phone will automatically reboot, this is normal since your replacing framework, it will reboot and apply changes so no worries there. I'm just using the free version of ninjamorph version 2.4, ok lets square up the steps again. after selecting finish project and selecting framework-res.apk the first popup says (your about to overwrite /system/framework/framework-res.apk with your finished project are you sure?) select yes to this, the second popup says (since this is an apk file, we can optimize using zip align) select no, the third popup should say (since you are changing framwork you must reboot) just click ok. The last popup asks you if you want to cleanup the project its up to you this will just clean out your project folder I would say no for now until you get everything working how you want. Reboot the phone then you should be good. Also not sure on the difference between twrp and cwm as far as flashing a zip goes but I could probably just have you upload your framework-res.apk make the changes for you and post the zip file.

Man I did everything you said, and my phone is now in a bootloop, I didnt have a cwm backup so now im prettymuch screwed... This was supposed to work for any rom? im using CM10.. please answer Im really desperate right now...

If you still have the cm10 zip on your SD card you should be able to just dirty flash it and that should get you running again.

[Q] Can't Install Titanium Backup

I no longer have internet access on my G2x. I did a factory data reset and was going to restore all my backups form my SD but forgot I need Titanium Backup, which I purchased, to do this. I plugged in my phone to the USB. I went to my google account and Titanium show that it had been purchased. So I clicked install. The proper device was listed. I installed the key also. It now indicated that they are installed but I don't see Titanium Backup ion the apps drawer.
Ant way to get Titanium Backup back on my phone without the use of internet connection on my phone?
James

I'm a little confused about your situation. Do you have a ROM installed and running? How were you able to check the play store for TiBu if you have no internet or data connection? If you have a computer you can download the apk and load it into your phones storage via USB, then install it from there.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

I don't have a rom installer. I haven't checked play store because I have no network connection.
I've already downloaded Titanium Backup to my computer and dragged and dropped to the cell phone. I now need something to install it with. I've searched the internet for apk installers but I'm more confused now than I ever was. I'm trying to get an apk installer I can run from Windows.

Hello??

Hmm... well if you don't have a ROM installed what good will titanium backup do? You can't run apps from recovery.

I'm not trying to recover!
I simply did a factory data reset. I forgot that I had to restore Titanium Backup in order to re-install my backed-up apps. I changed my t-mobile plan and have removed network. So, I was unable to use Play Store to download and install Titanium. I called tmobile and they gave me a day of access so I can download and install Titanium. Once I did that I didn't require downloading capabilities on my phone anymore 'cause I backed-up all my apps. I used Titanium to install these apps.
I'm trying my best to explain it but apparently I not doing a very good job.

Just load the apk onto the phone via USB (you said you did already actually) so just find the apk with a file explorer and click on it to install

When you boot your phone does it load android normally so you can use apps and stuff? If yes, then use a file explorer like astro to find and click on the apk you want to install.

For one thing Astro or any file manager isn't on te phone after a Factory Data Reset.
I just did one out of curiosity. Astro wasn't on the phone afterwards. Is there some other ay of getting it on the phone?
T-Mobile had gave me a 1 day data plan twice because of this.
I tried WiFi and it didn't work
Apparently you can't download using Google Play because it's not a secure connection.
At least that's what T-Mobile tells me.

Sorry I couldnt be of more help man...I'm trying. I just cant really understand your situation. If you did a factory reset, when you turned the phone back on did you have to log in with your gmail login etc? and you have an app drawer with the messaging app and camera app and all the basic apps? Do you have the google play store on your phone? Are you using stock android or a custom rom? are you rooted? Try going into SETTINGS>SECURITY and make sure the "unknown sources" is selected. I just really dont get why if tmobile gave you data plan for 2 days why you still couldnt use the play store?
hang in there with me man. we'll get this lol.

You shouldn't need a data plan. Starbucks, McDonalds, Jiffy Lube and Denny's all have free WiFi hotspots and so do most libraries and colleges. Install Astro or whatever file manager you use (I use ES File Explorer). That said I would also use the hotspot to get Titanium.
Also have you tried adb to push the files onto your phone? Start here and here.

Sorry I couldnt be of more help man...I'm trying. I just cant really understand your situation. If you did a factory reset, when you turned the phone back on did you have to log in with your gmail login etc? and you have an app drawer with the messaging app and camera app and all the basic apps? Do you have the google play store on your phone? Are you using stock android or a custom rom? are you rooted? Try going into SETTINGS>SECURITY and make sure the "unknown sources" is selected. I just really dont get why if tmobile gave you data plan for 2 days why you still couldnt use the play store?
hang in there with me man. we'll get this lol.

Yes, when I do a Factory Data Reset I sign in with my google account.
What I'm going to do is get a router. I believe that's the best way.

After I’m use 1 day and open the Feedly App and discover all *****, after login appear a blank screen then ads, like "adult finder" "android optimizer".
In the browser, the enter in several pages und finish in an ad page. Or trying download some file/app.
In play store any search go to Psafe anti malware.
Screen shots:

If you flash a google image it wipes everything. Malware won't survive the wipe. Are you getting your apps legit or from aptoide and places like that?

Unfortunately and for my surprise the malware persist, even before download any app from play store, without root and bootloader locked the malware still on my phone. (Noticed when open the browser)

Clean flash again and don't connect to router. Use cellular data only and see what happens. That will at least eliminate the router

Hard reset it, update it's firmware and then hard reset it again.

your google account might get these so called persistent malwares into your boormarks or other save settings along.. Even after you clean re-flash stock image.. you would still get the malwares when you login to your account and sync everything back..

Try wiping cache, data, factory reset, or all three.
