[Q] rom manager and G2x

I was unable after searching to find a clear answer. Why is rom manager not able to flash clockwork on the g2x. Will it ever be possible or will we always have to update cw through NVflash?

An application cannot tamper with the recovery image of the device, no matter what. NVflash works with the processor directly.

If I installed CWM using NVFlash, should I still install ROM Manager from market once my phone is up and running?

I did the install after setting up the phone. There is really not much it does. If you try to check for a new nightly or ROM it always says to install the recovery. If you try to reboot to recovery, same thing. There just does not seem to be a lot of use around the application when it cannot do anything with the recovery at all.

Maybe. It does make things a bit more convienent, and doing the fake flash does not overwrite the true flash of NVFlash, or if it does just go back and flash via NV again. You can tell the difference because fake flash is orange while true flash is red.
I installed before I flashed true recovery, and the app still works. There's nothing Rom Manager does that CWM doesn't (unless you buy premium), but the app does it a bit more easily and saves you from having to navigate recovery mode.

Rom manager does not support dual core

You don't need to fake flash to use all the features. Just press menu and click manual flash override. It allows you to set your recovery in the app so it will let you use all the features.

[Q] Boot Logo Change for LG Phoenix?

I have a lg phoenix with cyanogen mod 9, but my boot logo is boring and i really want to change? Can I with the phone I have?

Don't know, can you? It is very hard and dangerous

Seek the signature below the line

you can always try putting a new bootanim ni root/system/media
named as bootanimation.zip
but better confirm with someone who owns this model before doing this.

I know how to do it, but I don't wanna mess up my fone, thanks tho

Do u wanna change the very beginning boot logo or the boot animation?
Sent from my LG Phoenix P505 using xda premium

Just place the bootanimation.zip file to /system/media
If it stuffs up, ie bootloops or what nots, and you can't remove it with a root explorer etc, then boot your phone up to CWM or the recovery you use and use adb shell (through your PC) to remove the bootanimation.zip file. ie the following commands:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
rm -rf /system/media/bootanimation.zip
exit
adb reboot
Done

like wen I turn my fone on

that looks complicated lolz but ok

CM should have its own boot img. That you can change. Other images before it are phone and kernel img, there harder to change.

You have to be rooted to be able to change your boot animation. I have used Es File Explorer to simply paste my desired boot animation to /system/media. Then reboot.

Can you share your knowledge with the rest of us?
How DO you change the boot image? (not boot animation).

Interesting! Please inform us (and make a screenshot).

So far I have noticed that woke in recovery (twrp) it will not show me to wipe anything. And while in fastboot, it won't allow me to erase any partition. It will allow me to flash over but not erase.
In recovery it says 'failed' unable to mnt /data partition.

I'm gonna try to delete some apps and see if it has that dumb a$$ write protection kernel again.

Yup new kernel has write protection. Even after flashing jmz's disable wp zip. I'll upload the boot img so maybe a dev can figure out how to remove it

You are still S-Off? With S-Off you should be able to delete System apps.

Yeah still s-off a reboot after flashing jmz's disable wp.zip now can delete system apps and mnt /data

Hmmm, it seems I have yet to receive this update... I wonder why that is. Guess they thought it wasn't important for me to have it ha!

this is a system app. place it in
/system/app
set permissions to

and reboot

Hmmm, well, thanks, much appreciated. Seems as when I rebooted my phone the update finally came in haha. Even though I had already followed through with yours I proceeded forward with the update none the less and allowed it to install. Not sure if it overlapped what you gave me or if the system picked up yours to begin with. Either way, all seems well so thanks.

Need help with /system r/w permission

Every Rom I install I cannot get permission to r/w to /system. The custom roms say they have support to write to /system but I can never successfully do that. I use ES File Explorer with root turned on. Any suggestions on what is going on. I always clean flash the roms when I install.

Are you making sure to mount /system as rw? Even with write protection disabled, it's still mounted as ro by default.

Faux123 kernel is not compatible with 4.4.4 your best bet would be to extract the boot.IMG from the OTA and flash it via fastboot.
