[Q] Questions on Bryan's CM7 build

I didn't want to clutter up the dev thread with these questions, but I've never used any CM build on any phone.
I unzipped Bryan's CM7 build to see what was inside and noticed it didn't seem to have a launcher and didn't seem to have any market app. Ok so does that mean you have to pre install Google apps from the SDcard to be able to access the market?
In reading the instructions, it seems like Bryan's CM7 build uses the same kernel as his regular beta kernel thread but that can't be right, can it, with the discussion on the thread....
I noticed that the Google apps were all modified for CM7, so does that mean that ordinary apps won't work unless they're modified?
Can I still use the TW4 launcher on CM7? Used to it.
The business about USB storage not working in Android. I assume that means you can't put anything on the SDcard using the USB cable after Android has booted up so that you have to push everything on there with ADB, is that it, in recovery mode?

1. It does contain a launcher; Its called ADW Launcher.
2. Yes, you would need to flash the google apps. I use this one
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
and this one http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-newtalk-signed.zip​
3. You flash the gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip file then the gapps-gb-20110828-newtalk-signed.zip google talk with video chat support.
4. Its a different kernel. CM7 is using the MTD version. While regular stock roms use BML.
5. I believe you can use the google apps on those files on any rom. But most roms already bring them integrated.
6. Apps developed for use on the Galaxy S phones like TWLauncher et al will not work as they hook onto some samsung specific programming.
7. As mentioned in 6, you cannot use TWLauncher on cm7.
8. Yes you would have to push everything through ADB in the meantime. Pushing/puling through adb does not require rebooting to recovery though.

Can someone make a video on how to install the rom?

Just follow the written instructions on the thread and you'll be fine

Honestly they confuse the crap outta me. A video would dumb it down for me and im sure a few others.

IDK how the heck I made my efs backup.
But if anyhow, you manage to make some sort of a tar file with your efs files, you should be fine.
After that,
do the erase_image
and mount /efs
and cd /efs
and tar xf anybackupname.tar
you will install. That is if you get your.

My suggestion is to wait until the install procedure is easier.
In the CM7 OP, Bryan said (twice) to re-read OP after updates.
Making a video will give you proper instructions for this build, but if Bryan updates the install procedure users following the video are going to have a mixed bag of results, and possible bricks.

I have a question as well. Yes, I know that this isnt exactly high priority, but I'm wondering if later there will be a build with Wifi calling. I was trying to install it myself, but it kept force closing, and I don't wanna try anything that'll mess up my phone any worse than I have before.
Wifi calling is basically a must for me since I basically live in Smallville, KS. I get little to no service here, and without it, it usually takes forever to get anything. And yes, I've tried every modem I could, KG4 works best, since I can sometimes get one bar.
I'm trying to complain or anything, and I thank Team Acid for bringing us CM7.

Neo I'm sure at one point bryan will get that working.

So does that mean that NONE of the apps will work unless modified to run on CM7? Or are you just talking about certain Samsung issued apps? I'm in the middle of an old Tarzan novel on my e-reader program on the phone...

I have a question with the process flash boot.img with heimdall...when i open heimdall front end and put boot.img into the flash local package..i get a error the tar header contained an invalid file size..on the flash tab, it only takes pit files..also when i just use the heimdall ..a black screen happens similar like a command prompt and just exits..
how do i flash the boot.img with heimdall?
This is using fbs instructions that I am using and i am stuck on step 7. flash the latest boot.img from bryans op..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25197350&postcount=279

Are you on windows? If so open command promt. Cd into the heimdall suite directory. Put your phone in DL mode and connect to usb. From command type "heimdall detect". Should say device detected. Then just put the boot.img in the same directory and follow the OP.

That's just Samsung-specific stuff like TouchWiz that require Samsung's modified frameworks and extra libraries.

Just use FB's install guide instead. I was going to wait until it was installable through CWM, but this is essentially the same thing with a few extra steps.

[Q] Removing beats audio

I am running Lithium as my rom, which has beats audio installed. This has caused some problems for me, as it lowers audio quality when using poweramp. If you disagree, keep it to yourself and don't tell me I am wrong in this thread. Wow, that just sounded a lot meaner than it was meant to. Anyways, is there any way to remove it completely?

I was looking at that at one time... and I started writing down all of the files that get installed with the mod... but then I got to the /system/etc/ folder and gave up...
If you're feeling motivated, check out the attached zip for everything it installs, and then you could attempt to remove those files... by your method of choice.
NOTE: NO ONE SHOULD ATTEMPT TO FLASH THE ATTACHMENT - sorry for yelling, but it's not a flashable zip, just the system folder from the BeatsAudiob0314.zip for reference...
You should probably cross-reference and take the proper files from a stock ROM you have lying around though, because a few of the files are replaced, like /system/etc/media_profiles.xml and /lib/libreverbwrapper.so & libvisualizer.so (and possibly others?)... In fact, if you do manage to do all of that it would definitely be worth making a "remove beats audio" script/zip

Well, I removed it from the rom after setting it up with rom kitchen. This has worked before, but now it will not flash, I get an error in CWM that says something about status 0 and it aborts the zip install I think that has something to do with the update binary. anyone have any ideas?

Yea, that sounds like an updater-script or update-binary file issue... You could try borrowing the META-INF folder from a different flashable rom...
Or maybe you could remove the necessary files through adb in recovery (or make a script if you can - that's beyond me) and make a smaller update.zip with the files you need to replace. I have much better luck making small flashable zips as opposed to full roms. Either way, good luck! And keep us posted..

...and a blank line at the bottom of the script..
Another thought... don't know how well it would work but - you could possibly make a cwm backup, get it on to your comp, open the system.ext3.tar with 7-zip, and do all of your deleting/replacing through 7-zip... then close her up, move it back to your sdcard and restore as normal (or restore system only).. obviously not touching the name or md5 sum..
again, never tried anything like that, but it sounds possible (in my head at least)...

well all I need to do is replace and delete the right files, I am almost done with a flashable zip to just do that. do you know if the files that were listed as needing to be replaced instead of deleted (which is true) will work on all devices? I would like to post this for other device users to use if so.

That I do not know.
But, if you could do it for our phone first (keep it in the family ), I'm sure others would eventually port it to their device if it doesn't work right.. sounds like it'd be a very useful "anti-mod", if you will...

all right, I will finish it with what I have for replacements on our phone, then see if anyone else will test it on some others. is there a good way to make sure it worked other than making sure nothing is force closing and the files are gone?

That's probably the best you can do.. if it boots, no FC's, audio still works, files gone, then you're probably good to go. I would offer to test it but I got no beats mod installed right now... Did you successfully remove it on yours?

not yet, there are a ton of files and I have to manually type out all the file names into the zip updater file, so it is taking forever, I'm getting close though. I will put it up in an hour or so, assuming it works.

What a pain in the arse. I installed beats, to my dismay, it hurt sound quality. The voodoo sound mod is much better. If you made a backup, I didn't, prior to install you are in good shape otherwise, full wipe and reinstall rom. It would be great if someone made an uninstall zip. Good luck!

my uninstall zip will be up in less than an hour, assuming I am not doing it completely wrong! It should work on the Atrix 2, but some files get replaced, not deleted. I think this should be fine, cross platform but you know the drill, not my problem if it does something bad and all that stuff.

What update are you trying to install? OTA updates usually require a stock system, so if you've modded your system then you'll probably need to FXZ a clean setup. *Note - ICS has no offical FXZ and should use the appropriate resources according to the version you have.
If you post more info about what you have and what you're trying to achieve then I'm sure we'll be able to help you along.

I'm trying to flash the official AT&T ICS that released yesterday.
I was originally rooted with bootstrap on 2.3.6 with the Lithium Rom.
I unrooted the phone, flashed 2.3.6 with RSDLite to get a clean phone. This is when I tried the OTA which gives me that error.
I have tried multiple scripts here. I've used RSDLite and also the fastboot scripts to return to 2.3.5/2.3.6 from ICS(or GB) countless times.
I've never had this much trouble before.

has anyone had this issue? i can't even find anything about this on google.

well if this helps anyone at all.
I am flashing above 50% battery.
after RSDLite to 2.3.6 I still get this error, but it shows 2.3.6 just fine when I start up again.
When I do the update for ICS it does everything just fine all the way up until "updating STE BP"
this is where it gets held up and throws the error.
updating STE BP ..
assert failed: motorola.steflash("/tmp/steflash")
E:error in /cache/Blur_Version.55.13.25.MB865.ATT.en.US.zip
(Status 7)
Installation Aborted
I have tried the method of downloading it straight from OTA and also from copying the file from their website to my SD Card and installing this way.
Both methods result in the problem.
the exact method I have been doing is this.
I was originally on 2.3.6 rooted bootstrap on Lithium rom
I did the clean up method for bootstrap and then ran the unroot script.
Then used RSDLite to flash to 2.3.5 (tried straight to 2.3.6 as well)
when it reboots it still throws the error even for 2.3.5/6 steflash
I then do the OTA for ICS over WiFi which again throws the error.
I would extremely appreciate any possible help you guys could give.

While I'd like to tell you that you searching on Google was the right approach, you have come up short because these things have been addressed countless times here on xda. So, anyone else reading this, please include "xda" in your Google searches. That will point you back here, whereas otherwise searching xda FROM xda yields less than satisfactory results at times.
You were on 2.3.6 and wanted to update to ICS, but you had the Atrix 2 Bootstrap app and likely CWM Recovery as well. That said, and if so, you have some file finding and deleting to do:
You will need to delete all the files associated with CWM and the Atrix 2 Bootstrap (if ever installed) via Root Explorer or ADB:
Removing Atrix 2 Bootstrap:
Delete file /system/bin/logwrapper
Delete file /system/bin/hijack
Rename file /system/bin/logwrapper.bin to /system/bin/logwrapper
Delete directory /preinstall/recovery (Note: This directory might not exist)
Since you also installed the recovery on boot you need to restore the following:
Removing Bootstrap Recovery on Boot:
Delete file /system/bin/mot_boot_mode
Rename file /system/bin/mot_boot_mode.bin to /system/bin/mot_boot_mode

No, it doesn't work that way. Post number 8 details how to solve this issue. Simply flashing back to stock doesn't remove the files, and therefore they must be removed manually.

The bootloader is locked up tighter than a 16th Century King's daughter's chastity belt, so don't worry about that being an issue. Are you using Root Explorer to delete and rename the appropriate files? Also, you say you've already tried to use the above steps, then used the FXZ back to stock 2.3.6 and you still can't get the Moto Server update, correct?

So, I do have the newest TWRP installed, but I get a "Status 7" error message anytime I want to flash a new Jelly Bean rom. I'm on AOKP 4.2.1 right now. Can anyone help me?
Here is the error message:
Code:

Your problem shown in red. updater-script tested your build.prop for tf300t and did not find that. If your unit is tf300t then edit updater-script and remove the assert lines.
Inside the zip you will find /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script. Edit with notepad or notepad++; not word, wordpad, or other. Save rezip and flash.

Sorry for the long delay! Search is still down here on XDA.
I'll have to ask questions I would have searched for.
The rom you are trying to flash is 20120625. That is very old and I can't remember any JB aokp roms on XDA during that time. I didn't catch the date earlier because the assert error was staring at me.
Is this from XDA? Give me some info about the rom or better yet a link. I feel that is an ICS rom with a date that old. Maybe that is not actually a date but appears so. With a link to the rom I might be able to find your current issue.
Note: your recovery you are flashing with should be twrp 2.4.1.0 JB.

XDA search is alive again.
This is an ICS rom. Choose a JB rom and try again I think you will have success.
Good Luck!

Did you do your editing with notepad or notepad ++?
Error 6 is usually files that were edited with wordpad or word. It can also be an editing error such as not completely removing the line or partially deleting or editing a line that is still included.
Note: Wasn't blsckbean 6 ICS?

I unziped it on tablet and edited it with a text editor from tablet then reziped it.If it was a ics one that would make sense but on goo site it says blackbean 6 jbl so I assumed that the jbl meant jellybean boot loader.I also opened the bb7 zip and in that script updater it doesnt have the few lines with the build prop stuff,so after I deleted the first few lines in the bb6 zip it looked exactly like bb7 script updater.I don't think I left any of the lines there.After I edited the stuff I went down to the next line and pressed back button to move the rest of the lines up.If the jbl doesn't mean jellybean loader and it was for icecream sandwhich then I would assume that's why it isn't working.Thanks for writing back.Ive tried almost all the roms for tf300t and like that one the most but without ability to move my game data to microsd card I can't use it.I guess ill have to wait till they can figure out how to make directory bind workwork with jb 4.2.
I also just looked it up and bb6 is for jb bootloader.

Thanks I would appreciate the help,I've searched for endless hours and everything always points back to editing those lines..If you need anymore info let me know.I've also tried to download diffrent times.Bb7 flashes fine and hydro and clean rom and blue rom but bb6 wont.I even flashed bb7 then tried to flash bb6,same error as frank got.I also made sure my build prop said tf300t for the errors.I've tried many combonations and wipes.I'm on blue rom now if that matter

OK. Sorry for the delay, I've been recovering my tablet. I edited the updater-script, flashed BB6. Stuck on bootanimation, flashed again, stuck on bootanimation, restored my previous backup, stuck on bootanimation. Flashed stock rom back to a working tablet.
I can't suggest you install the rom but I have uploaded updater-script.
For the future I also edit on the tablet. I suggest jota free on the playstore, it does not add extra characters that cause errors. Example most editors end a line with both linefeed and carriage return which will not work for these files.
Good Luck!

Thanks for getting back to me,I will probably try this at some point,if it didn't work on your tablet then maybe it wont work on mine as well.I do have a few backups and all my apps on titanium back up so maybe ill give it a try.Maybe I just might have to wait till they make directory bind work with jb 4.2 to flash Bb7.

Can you upload an updater-script for Gingerbread MT6575 models ? Also the link is not working.

[Q] Dsixda's android kitchen compatibility

Hello everyone.
I'm trying to make a custom ROM for my I8260, but every time I try to install it to my phone, I get "status 0 or 6 or 7) error's in CWM.
I tried variuos troubleshooting methods, but none worked as they should.
It seems that I can't get the edify_defs file (arubaslimss) correct.
The mount points are okay, I think, because they are the same as of I8262.
Can anyone check if the fix_boot thingy is okay for this phone ?
Also, I attach the mount points data for this phone

It does not work.. com.android.phone keeps crashing no matter what I do.
Also, in the notification toggles menu, I get to see an option to change between SIM1 and SIM2.
It has something to do with the updater-binary file, wich I can't edit in any way.
