ACS Updater

​

UNINSTALL OLD VERSION FIRST:

adb uninstall com.acs.updater

Version 1.3

What is the ACS Updater?

ACS Updater is an app for android devices that allows you to download and install custom roms, kernels, themes, and modems from the internet on the fly. It's very simple to use: run the app, select what you want to install. You will get a screen asking if you want to wipe cache / backup first. Select options, and hit OK. The file will download from the net to /sdcard/ACSDownloads, and when complete, will reboot into recovery and install automatically.

Backup and Restore can also be done via the app, as well as Installing from SD Card, and even Install from URL - put in whatever URL you want, and it will download and install (if you put in a URL to something that isn't a flashable zip, and try to install it, that's your fault.)

In future releases, there will be more goodies, stay tuned!

Notes:

If you choose not to wipe cache, and the flash goes bad, that's on you. It's there as an option, but I'm not going to force it.

If you hit an area (such as Themes), and it says nothing available:

Developer's have not submitted anything for your device

Servers are temporarily down - try again in a couple minutes

Try using the "Reset Wifi Connection" Option

This App depends on a custom -R-E-C-O-V-E-R-Y-

KERNEL

which includes extendedcommands

It's always a good idea to backup before flashing a new ROM

Developers:

Want your work listed in the app? Simply submit your info to the following links (whichever applies), and I'll get it added to the database.

Submit Modem

Submit ROM

Submit Kernel

Submit Theme

Submit System Tweak

Submit (Flashable!) Custom App

ChangeLog:

v1.3

Added Custom apps section

Added Tweaks (Mods) section

Added Reboot Recovery Option

Added Reset Wifi Connection Option

Added the ability to publish to ALL devices!

v1.2: Bugfix

Backup Before install was not working properly - Fixed

v1.1: Initial release

Backup

Restore

Download / Install

Install from SD Card

Install from URL

Wipe Cache

Known Issues:

"Nothing Available at this time" - This appears to be a combination of server issues (the current host may have a limit on how many sql queries can be run at a time....) and possibly http host resolution issues within the app. I have added a bit of code to resolve this, and a "Reset Wifi Connection" option. Use this, wait a moment, then try again

Booting into a blue recovery and not flashing - this is caused by a stock kernel. This app relies on the recovery that is in the kernel, NOT that one you installed (i.e. amonra, clockwork, bonsai, etc)- your kernel MUST have a custom recovery. If you are coming from stock, please flash a kernel before using this app.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silenzzzz:
Okay, my phone is on the 2.3.4 OTA update it is also rooted and unlocked ... have recently wiped it clean to try to track down the issue ...

since updating it ... now when i go to the marketplace it will 'hang' and not download anything for a bit ... the H+ icon on the top is in black letters ... after a while the icon will update and show the H+ in blue and the arrows start to light up and the download will finally start ...

if i connect it to wifi it works just fine

i notice if i let the phone sleep for a legnth of time it will do this over again, but if i keep it 'awake' it continues to work as normal...

is there a setting someplace that i am overlooking that allows you to suspend cellular data while sleeping ?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obartuckc:
It seems similar to what a lot of us OTA-ers are experiencing. Definitely wondering about this as well.

Is it only when you go to the Market?

Are you using the new Market app? (New Market app can cause data to drop).

More info please.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silenzzzz:
when i first applied the OTA it had the old market but was doing this ... (i did a reset because of it and the fingerprint scanner not working) ... after the reset the first time i went to the market it downloaded the new version and worked for a bit ... but now it is back to making the H+ turn black which i am guessing is showing that there is no data ??? because nothing else will work for a bit after that happens ...

oh, and the fingerprint scanner still doesn't work but thats another issue i need to figure out.

Make sure that your phone is logged into Google Talk by following these steps:

Go to your phone’s app launcher, and press the Talk app

If you’re already logged into Talk, press Menu, and then touch Sign out

Launch Talk again to sign in

Check the markets support page, its under known issues, had the same problem and it worked for me
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Fasinationinmotion:
Well lucky for me when I went into Verizon today and I know the manager pretty well and he told me there was an HTC rep in there on Friday. He has an Inc 2 as well and asked him about the unlocked bootloaders. Apparently he said they are waiting for the lawsuit from Apple to settle before they make a move. So we may see something after they make a decision on the suit.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jaynole:
Would love that.

Hopefully HTC can work the lawsuit thing out without having to pay Crapple to much money.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ChrisDDD:
I'd be curious to hear what the connection is between Apple's law suit and a locked or unlocked bootloader. And considering how long lawsuits can play out, it's hard to take any comfort in that claim.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Avelnan:
Wait a minute. The Inc2 doesn't have a locked bootloader, does it?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Fasinationinmotion:
According to the latest update it is supposed to go before the ITC council or whatever in a week or two. The suit is already almost done the court found them guilty of 2 patent infringements.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3d_K0d3:
It even is skewed red during the Viewsonic boot screen. At first I thought it was a fancy low-power warning because it occurred last night when the battery hit 15%. But a full charge and a reboot didn't fix it. Neither did booting into the loader and resetting my battery statistics. Other than the horrible screen coloring it works just fine.

I searched the forums and found a number of people with green-hued screens but nobody complaining about red. Am I looking at RMA-ville? :(
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EL TEJANO:
Is it red-hued on every screen such as the recovery menu? If every single menu screen is that way & a factory reset or NVFlash or reflashing a new rom doesn't fix the issue, I would venture to say it's a faulty screen.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bawlz McNutt:
try the "Love Tap"

I remember reading this thread a couple of days ago http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=878624&page=2

some people were apparently experiencing a blank white screen which was being caused by a loose connecter in the tablet.

Check post #20 on the thread I linked and someone even posted a picture of it.

Your issue *might* be related to this and thus I would suggest trying the "Love Tap" method.

Just hit the damn thing a couple of times near the bottom right corner and hope you get lucky.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acucci:
Same issue

Had the same red hue issue with my G-Tab. At first it was just if I held it a certain way or put pressure on specific areas. It got progressively worse to where I had to hold it or put pressure on one area of the back or screen to get it to go away. Contacted Viewsonic customer support, they issued an RMA. I just got the repaired tab back today. No surprise, but it's been reflashed with Tap-n-tap. I guess that gives me an excuse to try the new release of Vegan or maybe cm7.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talon_dgnr8:
I upgraded my wife's EPIC to the new CWM purple 3.1.0.1 and now the recovery is stock. I couldn't find anyone else who upgraded having this issue. Anyone have a clue as to how it happened?

I redid the upgrade via the standalone ODIN file and still didn't take, I'm assuming because cwm was already gone.

The phone is still working as it should with the same ROM. I also see that after I did the ODIN file that the phone has an official software upgrade for the EF02 radio from the EF10 radio that is currently on there. Wierd??

From all the rumours floating around at the moment the Nexus Prime sounds like a beast. Samsung made, 1.5gHz exynos chip, Amoled 720p screen. 5mp rear camera w/1080p and a front facing 1mp camera. No physical buttons and Android 4.0.

But when the SGS2 gets Android 4.0, other than the 720p screen will it be pushed to 2nd in the awesome stakes? After all we have an very nice camera and and awesome chipset. Just like the Nexus S was a google branded SGS1, will the Prime be a google branded SGS2?

Any thoughts?

http://www.fonehome.co.uk/2011/07/18/google-nexus-prime-10-things-we-want-to-see/
[General Topics] BarryH_GEG:
It depends on how it all comes together. A higher quality 5mp camera could produce better results that our 8mp camera so that doesn't scare me. More power is always good. A pure Google phone is always good from a latest and greatest perspective. It's also guaranteed to have NFC which is good.

The screen kind of scares me. My SGS2 screen (an early build) is great but there have been lots of reported QC issues, wide variations in color temperature, the gradient issue, and the left side banding issue. Pushing even more pixels to get to 720p is going to be tough to pull off based on the challenges they experienced in the jump from SAMOLED to SAMOLED+.

The radio's important and I wouldn't go back to something lower than 21MB HSPA+. I doubt it'll support any form of LTE because there are too many frequencies to contend with.

So count me as a "maybe."
[General Topics] robt772000:
Thanks for responding. I am not so sure either. That's why a discussion is a great place to start. Hopefully it will smash the new Iphone.

[General Topics] Bawezy:
It all seems over the edge to me. From looking at the previous releases of google phones starting from Nexus One which consisted similar specs to the desire, and the nexus S which again has the similar specs to the Galaxy S, infact they shared the same chipsets. I'm not implying that the prime would indeed carry the similarities of the GS2 on that behalf but maybe not too far off.

An improved build of the AMOLED+ screen with all the banding issue and etc gone (I doubt it'll be 720p either). I'd say yes to dual core and maybe 1.5ghz (why not?). 5mp camera, (really?) I doubt they'd go anything below an 8mp due to competitvity and yes yes we all know that the cmos sensor makes all the difference but most people prefer figures rather than facts which is where the target audience usually lies (consider iphone 5 being the biggest role in competitiveness here).

All in all any specs that surpasses the GS2 is a path to the right direction although it's too early to judge since quad core is only around the corner, so time will tell. I personally wouldn't buy a google phone; my list of reasons would stuff this whole thread.
[General Topics] ghost77:
Next Nexus will also be google with bare basic OS , that means no awesome Samsung media codecs.

Also Nexus S had no external sdcard only 16gigs build in.

Only time will show how crippled its gonna be, sure certain aspects might be better depending who is gonna make it, CPU/GPU might be better , 720p AMOLED screen would be nice or at very least some decked out IPS panel.

Generally nexus devices never been better then some alternatives , but its subjective everyone has different needs. I am more interested in next Galaxy successor !
[General Topics] robt772000:
Yes the galaxy 3 will be a huge step. I think that all the codec support on this device is amazing. The nexus s was OK but destroyed by the s2. The next nexus probably won't beat the s2 when you look at the previous steps taken.

Samsungs software this year has been excellent. It's one of the few devices with duel core being optimised well. Will vanilla android be optimised? Probably not.
[General Topics] blickmanic:
nexus s will be interesting, and will be worth a look at if it boasts a 720p display.

EDIT: haah i meant nexus prime :P, thanks robt772000
[General Topics] robt772000:
Nexus Prime ;)
[General Topics] rd_nest:
tl;dr

Nexus "Prime" will be a very good phone (atleast I can hope so!). But even if it smashes GS2, no shame in that. By all accounts, Prime would be released 6+ months after GS2, so it would be a shame if it can't beat GS2.

I am worried about few other points which you guys might have better knowledge:

1. How would be the application support for Ice cream? Will it be compatible with 2.x application?

2. What would be native/suggested resolution and form factor of displays? I assume that it's 480*800 for 2.x models. Is that going to change with Ice cream?

3. What would happen to Honeycomb? Ice cream is supposed to be across both tablets and phones? So, it appears to me that HC was just a stop-gap arrangement to allow android foot-hold in the tablet market.

4. What sort of processors are they going to support? My assumption was that HC was typically made compatible with Tegra2 and the primary reason why it sucked initially. I would bet that if HC ran on Exynos with Samsung optimized drivers, it would be much better than what it is now.

Most people tend think the battle would be with iOS, my idea is that the biggest threat for Ice cream will be from Microsoft!

Remember Windows 8 - it's being optimized for both tablets and notebook/desktops. Will be running both on x86 and ARM processors. And from initial views, that looks simply awesome. MS is going to have same platform running for phone, tablets and notebooks. I can't help and appreciate how much it would attract the developers. You develop for 1 platform which could run the application on any of the devices. And the customer base - everyone running Windows PC. That is huge. As much as I hated Microsoft, I can say with no shame that I simply love Win 7. I believe I had no BSOD over 1-1.5 years of using Win 7. Ice cream need to step up and has to bring something really useful to be a successful.
[General Topics] EarlZ:
My only real concern is the screen quality, the SAMOLED plus is inferior to the regular SAMOLED due to its massive banding and QC issues, for day to day use theres basically no difference between both, For pictures the SAMOLED made some pictures prettier because it was not able to display the flaws/image compression artifacts, color is better on the Plus though. All in all it boils down to the screen quality for me.
[General Topics] robbiev80:
All that and probably no micro sd card slot again.
[General Topics] daivik:
Most definitely. It's the Big G's OFFICIAL phone. And should it have this epic HD-high-resolution 4.0" or 4.3" display. It'll blow the GS2 away. Not to mention whatever minor processor improvements there will be.

Also it'll be rocking 4.0 - K.O - Game Set Match.

Anyhows, I'm just happy they're continuing the Nexus range, because it really is something that showcases Android and combats iOS and that really brings the best of the best to the table. (well so far it has)........well not really with the Nexus S, but that is still a damn good phone. But this Nexus Prime looks like it's going to be another Nexus One, ground-breaking.
[General Topics] daivik:
hmmm I agree with you. Microsoft are really stepping up their game. (ABOUT TIME!!) But I think while Apple and Microsoft are trying to unify the desktop and mobile experience into ONE, those two will compete a lot more. I think Android will take a beating in the coming years...but I also think that people (like myself) enjoy a change.

I for one, would HATE to be working on my Mac, or windows...then go out and switch to my mobile and then have the exact same/a VERY similar experience on my phone. I actually like the change in OS, the change in apps...but then again, I suppose most people just want everything to be exactly the same because it's more "simple" :/
[General Topics] rd_nest:
Yes, both MS and Apple are trying to unify the platforms. My view is that Apple will again try to keep that niche segment and their loyal user base. MS, like Google will license their software to other vendors. The whole scenario sounds similar to what happened in the desktop space 20 years back. History repeating itself - we have Apple on one side and MS/Google with a different approach on other. Players like IBM and Compaq making way for present day vendors like Samsung/Nokia etc.,
[General Topics] epicfailguy2:
Ho well, I won't be surprised if in a year from now, with dual core 2ghz ARMs and 1+ gig of ram in phones we will see windows 8 running on smartphones with metro UI on top... If it runs on a tab, it'll run on a smartpone. Hell the SGS2 is crushing any tablet currently, it's just sad that all the SGS are always given unused potential (remember the sgx540 on sgs1, and now exynos mali400 on sgs2). But hey that's what makes them future proof, we'll still see SGS1 running new games and apps in a year or two.

I liked android for the customization and liberty it gave me, but I pretty much ran around it both on tablet (transformer) and phone (SGS1 &2) and I think that my next gen of devices will be wp7.5 mango (if the WP7 SGS2 ever comes out!) and then wp8 stuff late 2012.

Honestly I think the current tab market is just ****ting his pants at windows 8's arrival, because frankly, no iOS or honeycomb can rival win8's functionalities, if it runs smooth of course... (win 8 transformer 2 :eek:).

Standing from here I really see MS as the big winner of following years. Android had 2 years to evolve into something really productive, yet it didn't really came there and still has a lesser quality catalog compared to the app store. But who knows what ICS will bring ? we can only wait.
[General Topics] L Eric:
Just a quick thing I've been thinking about...

If the Nexus Prime does have a 720p display and that's what games are played on, the experience most likely would not be as smooth as the SGS2 as the difference is pixels of the two devices is very drastic. Even qHD hurts game performance. Also, isn't retina display the most pixels needed for a 3.5" screen? I have a hard time believing there would be ANY noticeable difference between a 720p screen and qHD.
[General Topics] AndreiLux:
It depends on what hardware it will have.

If it will boast a Qualcomm Krait, then it will blow it away. If it uses anything else, then no, it might be slightly faster performance wise, but that's all. The only thing going for it will be the 720p screen, but we still don't know the size of the display or what type it will be.

It's supposed to have a ginormous screen, so think bigger than 4.3" of the SGS2. I don't think it will surpass the DPI of the retina display even at 720p or at that screen size.
[General Topics] Sp1tfire:
If it doesn't surpass SII in every spec then it will be just another SII. You will have to make compromises between a lower mp camera or no card slot, etc. If it beats SII in every section then yes, it will blow it away.

[Continuum General] pastorbennett:
Officially EOL'ed? Yeah, I think it's happening. My local retail store now has all Continuum, and Fascinate for that matter, accessories on their clearance rack. The upside of this? I got the Samsung OEM Car Cradle for $10. Ironically enough, there was a little sticker that said the audio jack that outputs through the USB port won't be functional until the 2.2 update...
[Continuum General] jaizero:
Yeah I bought all those accessories too under the pretense that we would be getting the update and they would become functional. However I'm pretty sure that the Fascinate uses the same accessories and they are functional for them.

We just really need Froyo for our device (From Verizon or not) then we can start kicking up development. We have a lot of ground to make up and time is slowly ticking away..
[Continuum General] nathanb131:
Doubt Continuum accessories will fit Fascinate

I got both clearance accessories for continuum (car and home dock). Complete with 'this will work with 2.2' stickers. Since Continuum and Fascinate are slightly different shapes and sizes I would be surprised if Fascinate could plug into these docks. They are very form-fitting to the Continuum.

By the way, the audio-out does work for me with stock. I'm guessing some hands-free action might be missing but I haven't tried that. Though the volume through the car dock is way lower than if just plugged directly into the phone. Was disappointed by that since it was going to be nice to plug my phone into charger and fm-modulator with the dock. No dice yet. I'm hoping it behaves differently once I work up the courage to load my own 2.2 or if we actually get an official update.
[Continuum General] abby_nitewolf:
i noticed all this on all the verizon stores i been to, all the continuums are on sale and accessories too, so i just bought most of accessories they had.
[Continuum General] Txwolf1980:
We may not have been 'officially' EOL'D, but for all intents and purposes, we have been. I think this thing was EOL'D from the launch date. The ticker is simply too new, and with it never being opened up to 3rd party developers, it was doomed from the start. Personally, I think that that was where Samsung's biggest screw up was. This phone probably would have done a LOT better if the ticker had been opened.
[Continuum General] newnetmp3:
I just heard a commercial on the radio yesterday... Wal-Mart's wireless center is offering the Continuum for $28 w/ contract.
