Thanks for the clarification Ed I appreciate it. I loved your method of getting Legendary on MTD just wish I had an old Nandroid of Legendary so I could do the same. I will look a couple posts back for the script that Hoffman was talking about.

Funniest thing I have ever read!!!! Lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
You could always odin back to ec05 and reroot, flash legendary, backup legendary, flash an mtd rom, and then convert your backup of legendary to mtd... I know some on here are probably like "but that's a lot of work". Actually its really not if you know what you are doing. Takes maybe 10 minutes. Its what I did and is working great...
[Epic 4G Android Development] crazyc78:
You're right I could I may do that later tonight, I'm just a little leery about it bc the last time I went back to stock and rerooted I never received the OTA for the EI22 modem. I had to go into Sprint and have them update it for me. Just too time consuming and everything but I know I have that option until this rom becomes MTD compatible.

[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Go into MTD with the EI22 modem. Flash the EC05toEI22 modem zip before you go to MTD.
[Epic 4G Android Development] crazyc78:
That zip didn't work for me. I remember awhile back I pmed you about that. I had no 4G service and my data was screwing up. So you recommended I go into the Sprint facility and have them update it for me. I know I can use the zip just didn't work for me last time. I skeptical it will this time.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
If you odin back I recommend to odin to a stock EC05 rom (froyo) and then root your phone, then flash Legendary. You will at that point still have the ec05 modem, then you can flash the zip with the ie22 modem. That should set you up all nice. Don't even bother setting up the rom. Just a nandroid right away once you confirm wifi, 3G and 4g work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] The Root:
If he odins to stock he might even get the ota real fast. I've had that happen, as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pablomentabo:
Does anyone know where the files are stored that are wiped when you "Clear Defaults" on an app?

I'm asking because I had it working for a day or two where it didn't ask for my default browser after turning the phone on but I had to reboot for something and I chose the reboot option in the menu that pulls up when you hold the power button and after the reboot the defaults were cleared on my browser and car dock apps only again :mad:

I really wish I knew what caused this to work again for a few days. Sorry if I'm being noob-ish but I need some help :rolleyes:
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
True, I would much rather root froyo, it's so much easier than trying to root the ota update.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Yep everytime I odin back I get the ota as soon as I set up my gmail... I prefer to root from ei22 though so I like that... the one click fails 3 times out of 4 on my laptop so I prefer the ei22 odin method
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
That's right I remember. Your phone wouldn't take any modem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
There you go, the beauty of free choice! LOL I have only done it 20 times on eclair and froyo so that's why I am more comfortable that way. I just heard so many issues people trying to root the ie22 ota.
[Epic 4G Android Development] crazyc78:
Ah yes the beauty of free choice. Isn't that what makes Android special you have so many options and ways of doing things. I do really appreciate all the useful information you, Kenny and FN have provided for me. Later tonight when I get home from work I will decide what I want to do.

The same way the scripts knows to install bml or mtd, is the same way it will know to dump the conversion script onto the sdcard if its ext4. And notify the user that if they're mtd they need to odin a bml build to get back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
EXT4\MTD will be up tonight... Just ironing out a few things and testing a few times before release =)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
This is great news... Just hope it doesn't confuse some people. Quick question so the new build wl carry both kernels on download or does the user have to flash a kernel prior to booting? Just a curious questions? Not that kernels take up much space.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
OK so once that is up will it convert us to MTD and then all we have to do is advanced restore data from a nandroid?

Or do we have to edit the md5 and change ext4 to yaffs2 on the data file?
[Epic 4G Android Development] The Root:
It took me 5 minutes. Not bad. I just have to flash and restore now
[Epic 4G Android Development] siirus09:
Wait so Im confused now...with the download hoffman is going to put up soon, can I use that to go from CM7 MTD to using Legendary on MTD without Odining back to BML?

If not, what was that way you explained earlier ed about using Legendary on MTD if we still have a Legendary nandroid backup because I still have mine from before CM7. :confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
Yes correct, once he gets it loaded just download it, the script will recognize that you are already MTD and it will load the rom for mtd and ignore the ext4 script. You will be on Legendary on mtd/yaffs2 and no need to odin back to bml. He's essentially doing what I did but with a built in script on the zip that will recognize what file system your phone is on.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
Let us know how it works out???

I'm scurred. Is it ok that I altered nandroid.md5 with notepad. The interwebz said it would be ok.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
That's what I used... Lol don't be scared just do it... Lol worst case you have to go with whatever base rom your using and Hoff said he might have one ready tonight
[Epic 4G Android Development] The Root:
Final question, should I restore data after I flash the rom and kernel or let it reboot once? Does it matter?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
OK I used Toadlife's Clean Mtd rom as a base, because it was really small. I flashed and booted it up, set nothing up. Shut down booted up into CWM5 advance restored system, the. booted up completely Then shut down back into CWM5 advanced restored data... Rebooted and I was done everything done and ready to go.

You did rename system, data, and cache tar files right?

The only thing I have flashed are different kernels.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
So I'm a little confused now. Are you not putting out an mtd rom that will convert ext4 to mtd? I went back to bml today and cleaned out my sd card and accidentally deleted my nandroids... don't feel like going through the process again... if I have to I guess I have to though
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
No he said he was putting out Legendary to flash either ext4 or mtd depending on what file the user is on. So if you want mtd you have to already be on mtd. If your on ext4 it will just flash on ext4, it won't convert to MTD. Well at least that's how I understood it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Okay thanks for clearing that up...
[Epic 4G Android Development] The Root:
Yes and then I went and edited the nandroid.md5 and saved.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:

[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
I get this every now and then, still haven't figured out the exact culprit. I don't know if it's going from wifi to 3g to 4g, then back all over again. Wifi at home, 3g on way to work, 4g while I'm there. Every now and then my bluetooth will do exactly what you're talking about. A reboot seems to clear it right up. Maybe you've already tried that, not sure.

Media volume sound

Just a quick question, I was wondering where I could find the media sound that is in the volume settings menu for the RC2.2 ROM, or if anyone has this file. It sounds like a techno song but I was unable to find it anywhere in the ROM. Thanks in advance!
[Epic 4G Android Development] nikon120:
For future reference:

Easiest way is to download the rom to your computer, and using a program like 7zip or Peazip to open the archive.

OR

Use Root Explorer or something similar that allows root access to the file system directly on your phone.

THEN

Navigate to system\media\audio\

You have four options here: alarms, notifications, ringtones and ui

You will most likely find the file in the ringtones folder. Those files are in .ogg format (Ogg Vorbis audio) and can be played by majority of popular digital audio players available. When in doubt, use VLC player.

I went ahead and extracted the ringtones folder from my copy of the rom and attached it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Major_Nate:
I tried both options previously, but I was unable to find the sound i was looking for. I found all the ringtones that flash with the ROM, but I was trying to figure out where it keeps the sound that it plays when you go to Settings-->Sound-->Volume-->Media Volume and adjust it up or down. Sorry for not specifying before.

kernal basic Q

kernal noob here, I want to try out shadowkernal 1.0.4. I am already running the excellent legendary 2.2.

I've seen some conflicting advice on here, so someone please confirm or correct me: I should do this to keep 2.2: (1) make backup; (2) reflash 2.2; (3) flash kernal (BML version, right?); (4) advanced recovery restore apps and system data.

I am assuming I can do all of the above all by flash from the sd card before rebooting phone out of recovery.

Please set me straight if this is not right. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
First off don't flash a kernal, flash a kernel..lol. Next you should ALWAYS backup before flashing anything. Next yoo can simply flash Shadowkernel right over what you have. Wipe cache and Dalvik cache and flash. Works great for me and the default colors were superb.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:

Well i guess I can convert whatever rom anyone wants to MTD that don't want to Odin back to BML since I did the Odin flash do much it only takes me barely 10 minutes

to have it ready to flash a bml rom. Then i can upload the nandroid backup you got to restore on recovery. So just let me know. And idk about the md5's matching so if someone could shed some light on this.

Sent from my Legendary RC 2.2 MTD Converted Epic

As long as they check to make sure the md5's matchup from before and after it should work just fine...

Edit- and make sure they know to flash an mtd kernel before booting up!!! :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] The_Legendary:
Well they would have to be on a mtd rom for the backup to restore anyways, so i am pretty sure they must have a mtd kernel which this won't flash over, but i do suggest if you start on a CM7 kernel to flash a different TW mtd kernel, i flashed samurai ronin cm mtd over mtd legendary and while it did boot and such it was just way too unstable

Were you on CWM 5.027 and made your backup from that? ACS recovery most likely won't work for this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] The_Legendary:
Yes make sure you are using the the newest CWM, because I did the same thing, I used ACSrecovery to make my backup and tried to restore with CWM 5.027 and the md5 mismatch thing happened, the problem is ACS won't work on MTD and when you flash a MTD rom it automatically flashes CWM 5.027. So just make sure to do I nandroid backup of your BML rom with CWM 5.027 if you need any other help just give me a holler.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Is it OK if it is a renamed 5.027 backup made through ROM Manager? Or does it have to be the straight date format?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nashdogg:
Yes. And changed everything in the backup from ext4 to yaffs2

Only thing I did was rename the backup. Would that matter?

Your help is appreciated. Just can't get by the md5 thing. Not sure where I went wrong. It shound have worked :(

Sent from my Samurai TW.MTD Katana Clean GB Epic
[Epic 4G Android Development] The_Legendary:
Well here are some tips. First make sure that you open the md5 file in the backup folder with notepad and also change anything in there from ext4 or rfs to yaffs2. Make sure the other 3 files are named system.yaffs2.tar cache.yaffs2.tar and data.yaffs2.tar

I also like to make sure I didn't copy it to my PC, change it, then copy it back. I just changed all of it when it was connected through usb.

So I just suggest running through it one more time, making sure before you backup that you are on CWM 5.027. Backup then plug your phone in. Change the ext4's to yaffs2's. Flash a MTD rom. Then do a advanced restore of system, data, and cache. If this doesn't work I am going through right now and converting all the popular BML roms to MTD. Then I will be posting the nandroid backups so people that don't want to odin to stock can just advanced restore these and BLAM!!!! I hope it is not against the rules to post a nandroid backup of someone else's rom. If you let me know what rom you are trying to convert I will start with that one for you.

---------- Post added at 09:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 AM ----------

Sorry I should have multi-quoted, but I am not sure about this. I don't know the difference between a ROM manager backup or a nandroid one. You could always try. As long as it has the same 4 files you need to modify and the md5 has not changed then I don't see why not. But don't take my word on it!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
You can't rename the backup, it screws up the md5 but I think I have everything you need stored on my phone if you want it, to go to Legendary.

Mine worked spot on and I advanced restored right over clean gb rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
In fact I can give you system file and the md5 file, just the data file would be worthless to you, cause it would restore my phone on yours. You still have your data back up? And cache back up?

Just let me know, and for anyone else wanting to do this its real easy, it's the renaming of the md5 that's tricky you have to make sure nothing changes when editing other than what you want.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
I didn't want to screw it up on the first try so did a straight up backup with 3 finger into CWM 5.027 and it worked perfectly! No wipes! Shadowkernel 1.04+! Voodoo color! MTD! MTD! MTD!

Wow it does seem smoother and what's this? 300 MB free for app storage on the phone?!!! HOLY SH&T!

One last question...does this mean we can't do backups through ROM Manager now because it loads the BML CWM5 from the sd card?

Thanks all from my Voodoo colored shadowed MTD Legen...wait for it...dary Epic!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
If you wait 5 minutes I will answer that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Awesome...you guys helping with the MTD conversion are going to use up all my "thanks" today...lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
Kenny works perfect. I had made a new backup once I got it on mtd. I had switched last night to CM7 toUpdate the new nightly. Just restored my MTD Legendary perfectly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
You are the best man! So we can still use ROM Manager and rename backups like before. So the only real difference is mounting system before flashing themes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
I don't ever rename my backups, just old habits from when it screwed md5 up all the time so I just know by the date which one is what. :-( ROM Manager on MTD doesn't have full function now. You can't use rom manager or power button reboots into recovery. Only the new cm7 nightly does it work on but they trick rom manager into thinking the recovery is cwm3 instead of CWM5.

EDIT:

Correct when flashing themes and a couple of different types of zips just mount system first, flash then unmount. If you forget it will just error which will remind you to do it right.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nashdogg:
I'm trying to do legendary. I renamed my backup. It still says the date and numbers I just added legendary 2.2 after it to avoid confusion. Could this be why its not working? If you could convert that to mtd that would be boss! I'm already on clean gb mtd. Would I be able to advance restore over clean gb or would I wipe and flash again?

Sent from my Samurai TW.MTD Katana Clean GB Epic
[Epic 4G Android Development] The_Legendary:
Yes definitely mount system before flashing a theme, then unmount and reboot. If I didn't mount, the theme didn't apply and it was like I never flashed it. So if any theme, lockscreen, status bar, or any other theme related file won't flash normally I would try the system mounting trick. I am running mininmalistic black v4.7 :)

[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
Correct if you alter the name of your nandroid in sny way it will fail an give you a md5 error. You can't go back and try to rename it to the original cause that won't work. Been down that road. I can like I said send you a legendary backup with everything converted all ready you would need to put your data. Yaffs2.tar and cache.yaffs2.tar into it and see if it loads

You don't wipe anything you just advance restore. If your not restoring data just the system then you would not have to change anything
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
