[Q] A project I'm working on (Updater Script) - EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been slowly working on a JB Sense 4x project for fun. as I learn I go back and make changes here and there hoping that maybe, just maybe, one day it'll boot. As I was working on it yesterday I realized that with my Shift not working there will not be anyway for me to test it so I thought I would ask if anyone is interested in helping. It is a port from the One X. I haven't asked for permission from the original dev to release anything publicly yet (because I don't know if it'll work) so I'll have to pm links for now. Where I am at with this at the moment is the updater script. I've been through the rest of the ROM and think I have a good start but I haven't done anything in the META-INF folder. I am still reading up on how to write my own updater script but I'm not capable yet so those who want to help, this is my immediate need. It would be good for folks to go through the build.prop also. I'm still a little unsure about the changes necessary to go from a GSM ROM to CDMA.
Edit: I probably should have put this in General instead of Q&A. Sorry...

The problem will continue to be that we don't have a kernel for Sense 4.0, it won't work till we have one... but thanks for putting in the work... do you have your OG yet?

Ive modified Strapped365's new kernel and think it'll work. Ive gotten a port from the One V to boot before with the mod I made.

Oh OK... I'll look at it if you want. Just put the links up and whoever wants to try their hand it can... it can be a community project lol

I pmed you the link. I'll put it in Development as a wip when I hear back from the Dev who made the ROM...

I'll help out too if you want :good:

Thanks. I've been given permission from the dev, theDroidfanatic to put it out there publicly and will have it posted today.

Go for it man, I'm kinda busy with three other projects lol. And a new phone coming today, I doubt I'll get around to it any time soon.

I'll test whenever you need a tester.

If I can find a cheap shift on ebay I'll try and get it for you.
Im eyeying one for 5.50 right now.
and a few others for less than that. :good:

Wow guys that's great. I don't know what's wrong with my shift now. The flexcable was torn almost in half. I'm thinking I may have somehow broken something else putting the new one in. It's got me pretty bummed.

[WIP] FROYO SENSE 10/3 I need some help.

This is a video of how the rom is progressing
This is not available for download. If you want me to upload it, let me know in the thread.
I'm excited to see this developing for the g1. Thanks to everyone who's helped and the guys in the HERO CDMA forum. nfinitefx45.
Thanks,

This rom is Half booting, it starts to odex the frameworks and then says that
media.audio_flinger
media.player
media.camera
media.audio_policy
all died. boo hoo.
Here's what i've done, i've smashed together a cm6 kernel and a ramdisk from a 2.1 hero rom, which shouldn't make it not work.
However, some of the libs may be outdated for froyo.
Thanks to capychimp for the base, his one for magic works?!
Thanks to cyanogen for the kernel
Link: only click this if you know how to use logcat and fool around with stuff inside a rom:
Thanks for any help. Again i'll state this only half-boots, it's not usable. unless you like using your phone as a rechargable light-up paperweight when using this rom. All it shows is the boot screen.

I own a Droid Eris as well as the G1. Developer punk.kaos over in the Eris forum has ported Sense/Froyo to the Eris. I believe he got it from the HTC Wildfire. It works, but its in the 'beta' stage right now. It has resolution issues as well as camera issues. I'm sure Kaos will get these sorted out soon. Check the Wildfire forums for it.

Got it. Uploading probably won't work for mt3g. I currently am using mtd partitions with everything moved onto /system.
I'm uploading one, however, that puts app_s on sd-ext and framework in /data, so there's no need for mtd partitions.

[DEV] Gingerbread 2.3 [DEV]

Update: Alright guys, after collaborating with others on the port it seems we have hit a wall. The nexus s doesn't use our adreno egl drivers and instead uses newer drivers. The drivers are needed and we can't call on adreno drivers without errors. Because of this, we are putting a stop currently on development as first and foremost we need the build to be usable. The inc devs seem to have hit the same road block. We need a nexus one dump or source to move forward. Until then. :tips hat:
This is a dev rom. Things are still broken. Please don't play unless you realize this. If your boot hangs, try a dalvik wipe.
Note to devs:
-homescreen still slow (using ns EGL libs right now)
-no sound, sound crashes on boot
-dont have time to test more
-no wifi
-data works (browser force close on google boot)

Oh....lol I didn't know people still did that. HAHAHA
Good luck trying to port this... you're gonna have hell of time. The problem is that us EVO users are currently using 2.2 and the Nexus ROM's are built on 2.3; the lib files and bins will more than like fail if you try to boot.
I would wait until the 2.3 AOSP source is released to try and do a proper boot.
Porting different versions of Android especially from different manufacturers is a huge *****... believe me, I know... right Barnacles?
Edit:: I take back some of what I said... apparently it can be done, with some problems -- looking into right now with some other devs; will update later.

[ROM][PORT]ParanoidAndroid F.F.S V1/CM10-Unofficial V1 [1/8/2012]

Randomblame's kernel source code is freely available for you to download and build. There's nothing more 'open source' than that. Extracting a compiled kernel from someone's ROM without permission and put it into your own ROM is clearly not.

I did ask him in the first place but he totally disagree with it. What's wrong with using a ROM in the first place when it is meant to be shared among other peoples? Why are people getting selfish nowadays? Even if he spent 100 over hours with that ROM, whats wrong sharing a kernel? Not like he bought the whole CM10 down, so it should be shared among people.

If you went and did it anyways, why did you ask in the first place?
It is being shared. You can get the source. If you don't know how to compile it, you should learn. Not steal. Instead you're getting upset at him not doing the work for you. kind of not cool. If you really want to push out your own ROMs so bad, learn how to do the legwork in the first place.

If you think it is very easy to do compiling of stuffs when you have a computer which has only 512mb of ram, not even reaching 1ghz single core, show me that you can do it. And if you think it is very easy everything from the basics, go try it yourself. If you can't even produce a ROM, don't come teach me what to do. I was rushing my work to show to everybody that the v1.9.2a update would work perfectly but indeed I had broken the rules by taking RandomBlame's kernel without permission. Till then if you can't produce a ROM, do not teach me what to do. I managed to get this phone , which was already like 2 years old from my family, and my whole family is not that rich. We can't even afford a 'normal' PC like most people had nowadays, and had to live our lives with mostly second hand stuffs. When I got this phone, I was totally shocked how the HTC Sense made the phone laggy for me, hence I went into modding my phone, trying to build Chinese Custom ROMs into this development forum, and seeing people able to appreciate my work makes me happy. Now my family is even having difficulties saving money up for my school fees that I have to pay.
So if your life is not like mine DO NOT TALK LIKE YOU ARE THE BOSS OF THE FORUM. -End Of Speech-

Hey, man. Just thought you should know that out of curiosity, I took the firmware folder from the Epic 4G CM 6.2 rom and cooked it into my Epic SK4G rom.
No issues so far. I know it may be no big deal but I wanted to share that. Maybe bhundven can take a look at the kernel?
EDIT: It is no big deal.... it's just Froyo 2.2.1. Forget it. Goddammit.

At least he's trying, unlike you who has nothing better to do than to laugh at things that are obviously a WIP. "LULZ I R GUNNA LAFF @ U CUZ U CNT DO WUT I WUNT U 2 DO!"
Either congratulate him on his attempt, shut up, or try it yourself. This is why people leave XDA, because of kids like you. Grow a pair or a brain, whichever comes easier.

I would have kept my mouth shut if he fixed the op. Either [PORT][WIP] CM6 for the sidekick 4G or even [PORT][PRE-ALPHA] CM6 for the sidekick 4G. BETA is reserved for working ROMs/PORTS. This was obviously an epic fail.
He's also stated before he does not know how to modify kernels. In order to port cm6 you will need some kernel hacking skillz.

He also said this form of porting was documented to work, which it didn't in this particular case. And if you've forgotten, he can't test it. His SK4G is with bhundven. So, he couldn't have known that it was pre-alpha material.

What ever happened to bhudven? He's had the device for well over 5+ months already.

Life happened. He's got some personal affairs to deal with atm. He's made quite a bit of progress. Nothing bootable as far as I know, but every little baby step helps.

I'm pretty sure it took a month or less to boot CM6 on the SK4G, bootable.
Not +5 months.

Exactly my point I was trying to make.
That all depends on what he had to go through those last 5+ months. Assuming everything was peachy, yes, a month is feasible. But say, you had court battles and other stuff to worry about, do you think you could throw something workable together in a month? Doubt it. And if you say you can, prove it. Otherwise, you're full of yourself. I'm not gonna try myself, because like I have said before, i've only done small stuff and I know my own limitations. But by all means, go ahead and ridicule someone who is making a conscious effort and not just sitting back and waiting for someone else to do the work.
Btw, Happy Holidays/Merry Christmas to the both of you, despite your overinflated egos.
What 5+ month are you talking about? Phone was sent to Bhundven at the beginning of october, so it's 3-, not 5+. And yes, life's more important than ROMs.

Lol. You don't have the skill set to port CM to any device. Stop giving sk4g users false hope. Your worse then reactives epic fail of a cm6 ROM. Lulz.

Lol yeah I may not have the ability to port yet. But at least I'm trying, what are you doing?

[Q] Stock rooted ROM

I wanted to ask how I could go about taking a rom.zip (pulled from an RUU) and turn it into a stock rooted rom. The phone flashing would be rooted, of course
And if possible, for that process, is it generic? As in, would it work for any phone/stock rom? Or only shift?

Well it would be stock Shift so unless modded it would only work for the Shift. Not sure what you're trying to do.

Well what I mean is if I took an equivalent rom.zip from the RUU for another device, then I want to be able to follow generally the same process to make it a stock rom that won't compromise root

Good luck with that, it seems like you are doing way too much work for what you are trying to achieve (which I am still a little confused on). Essentially you are trying to port a "stock" ROM from another device, and then rooting it... why go thru all the trouble? That sounds like a headache for no reason. What is the device you are taking the RUU from? Why not just port a rooted stock ROM? Like RemICS for example is basically the stock ROM for the SGS3.

Wait what...noooo thats not what I mean lol
What I'm asking is that lets say I have stock rom.zip for some device, how do I make a rooted version of that rom.zip (no porting, no other mods)
All I want to do is basically be able to reset everything to stock using that rom.zip, but without losing root on the device I'm flashing to
So like this:
Device N's rom.zip > rooted rom.zip for device N > flash rooted rom.zip to device N

You want to pull the stock Rom out of an RUU, and use it sort of as a wipe Rom? Does that about sound right ?

If all you wanna do is what I did with the latest ota. Download the RUU.exe and open it to its first screen but don't go forward. Then open a the start menu and go to run. Once at the run box type %temp% and hit enter, then find the location of ROM.zip and move it out to the Desktop and close the RUU.exe. now inside the ROM.zip are a few images the RUU uses to flash, so now your gonna wanna take the boot.img and system.img and place them in dsixda kitchens original update folder, then open the dsixda kitchen in cmd and setup a working folder from a ROM and choose the boot.img and system.img. once that's done use the options to add root and busyboox, maybe data/app if you want and that's your rooted stock ota zip :beer:

I knew I had to use dsixda's kitchen because I saw someone mention that in a post but they didn't specify...
But awesome, thanks strapped

Hey guys, I just asked a question to the EVO folks the I remembered this thread is where I got the idea. What I've done is what Strapped said and took the ROM from the ruu for the EVO and ran it through dsixda's kitchen. It's been running great on my EVO 4g but this morning I had some time and thought I would do some themeing and found there is no systemUI.apk? I even went back to the kitchen and rechecked what I had done earlier but there just isn't one that I can find. Has anyone heard of this before? I would think that with that missing it shouldn't be working at all right?
That doesn't sound right . Are you sure your seeing all the files? I had this happen once, I did not have my settings correct on the Laptop.

Yea I'm sure. Could it be hidden somehow? Maybe in some odd folder... No one at the EVO is taking me seriously assuming I'm asking a noon like question. :-/
Edit: just for fun, I flashed a modded systemUI last night for this and its in there but nothing has changed. It's the weirdest thing I've come across Android wise.
EDIT2: is it possible the file got mixed in with something else when I deodexed it?
Edit3: I just went through the process again (I'm off work until tomorrow) and there is still no systemUI.apk? What settings on the laptop were you refering to? I can see that file in other ROMs. This is just odd...
Edit4: Ive been looking into this further and I am finding the icons from the systemUI mixed in both the system/framework/framework-res.apk and system/framework/com.htc.rescources.apk so I'm guessing somehow I mixed things together...
That is some creepy stuff
As in how it somehow got chucked in a blender with the framework files

I can't figure it out. I'd upload it for folks to look at but its for the EVO 4g and no one there is interested.

Yes it is. Quite a few Newbs . Hopefully some will step up and start doing for the community. As happened in the Shift community .

It's understandable, anymore it is a relatively cheap device to obtain for a starter into Android. I just wish people would read and search before posting... that should be a rule. And this guy (me) should be getting an OG soon.

Nice . Glad to hear that. As for the reading thing. It is oh so true . But unfortunately most do it later, than sooner.
