Update #2 fr the day

Ok, stumbled across something today while trying to work some bugs.....

I managed to "inject" a recovery into the rom, and while it actually booted into recovery, and did recovery things, it even went so far as to boot the tab.

But that was it, didnt get a full boot.

So, I stumbled upon a Clockwork Recovery buy doing the right tricks i suppose, however alot needs to be ironed out. and this gets top priority this weekend, why? well ****, think about it, CWM for the CDMA Tabs for Gingerbread, and before Verizon releases GB, so this.......is great news.

Hope to have this done by end of weekend, and in doing so it might iron out the zip flash issue which means I can pump out those 2 roms.

Just wanted to share.

First, I'm removing the download link.

Second, yes I do get your PM's, and yes I do read them, and Yes, I agree....I am bad at getting back to people sometimes. Very busy trying to get GB out for the CDMA Tabs in a working fashion. I am sorry. Those of you who know me, just call, it does hurt my hands to type.

The Update.

I am yanking the download link as it is apparent that the release was/is a failure, how I managed to get it on my tab, no clue, however I cant duplicate it again.

I am working on the build, 1 for Sprint, 1 for VZW. I am trying to get it deodexed 100%, and at the same time get a VZW 3G build working.

However what is very important, that will take less time for me to flash a build to test.....is a recovery. We need a Gingerbread recovery. We do.

So I am doing a few things.....

1. doing my research on compiling a new kernal, and CWM for our tabs

2. asked for an recieved help in a new kernal and recovery

3. changing how i build these roms, no more "kitchens" or stupid "gui" based apps on Linux or Windslows that foul up the permissions, I am going 100% command line for a more effective result, and less need for revisions.

4. Working non stop through the weekend once my wife comes home from work today, so from noon today, to 3am sunday/monday I will be hard at work on all Better Than Life Releases.

I appreciate your patience in this botched release, next time, ill release a test build to a few people for a backup verification it will go without problem.

Until then, i gotta get to work.

Update..........7-12 6am

So, we tried (spacemoose and I) to get the extracted rom from my device to install on several others and ran across the same problems everyone else was having. however, the extracted rom being deodexed and zipalilgned, my device not.

So today I am going to try to get the 3G working, make the mods to the rom, and extract it, then try to inject the deodexed system and framework back in (which is always a ***** on a live device) and ill have no choice for now but to release a Heimdall flashable version of the rom.

I am waiting for that VZW release because with the sprint in my hands, and with a VZW version, all thats lacking is a Sprint tab to start making GB roms for both devices, however today will be a different story.

Oh, I did get TW4.0 to slightly work on the tab, itll either be released later, or maybe in an alpha build. I found it....well interesting. I tried it on the Psirens Rom (I have a TouchWiz4 version of Psirens) but it was way to damn buggy to release.

Ill keep yall posted today. Painpill time :D

Verizon wants to take their time, fine, screw them.

Gingerbread 2.3.4

Based on the Sprint update

Deodexed

Zipaligned

a little de-bloating

added CDMA/3G Verizon (3G with Verizon right now is a 50/50 shot

Kernal included in flashable zip

Just drop on SD Card, wipe everything

flash

enjoy

I am running this on my daily driver Verizon, to test and work bugs out and get 3G fully working, so expect alot...ALOT of updates and new versions of Gingerbread for Verizon.

This will be a constant updating project. So please expect bugs, and this is a last minute slap together thing tonight.

Enjoy.

More to come
