Please re read my post.

I expanded it (my post) so it relates to this thread..:)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] poncho524:
Has anyone with root tried doing the OTA?

I'm running rooted stock (RMK's rooted ROM from the previous OTA).

is anyone packaging this update as a flashable ROM?

I would if i knew how to do that magic stuff. :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
cwr will block the ota from installing if you try
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] RRF12:
The radio installs fine from the posted zip no problems.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] findthisfunny:
I installed the radio just fine as well but I don't see a difference in signal strength. I'm running CM7 and I still see 4 signal bars.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
a radio will not give you the 5 bars!!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
well maybe if you wish really hard
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] seejoshplay:
If you wish upon a radio...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Kinz1980:
Radio seems to have helped me. I am getting service in my normal dead spots. I guess I won't be as frustrated with big red.

Successful 1111 radio upgrade, but no major improvement

Adding one vote for a very painless and successful radio update to PG32IMG.ZIP version 1.09.01.1111. Upgrading from 0722, I haven't yet seen an appreciable difference in coverage or throughput. Doing the *228 Option 1 (reboot), Option 2 (reboot) dance seemed to increase my 3G download speed, but then again, a breeze may have also aligned the leaves on the trees differently between tests. :)

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] hakoreh:
Did anyone find a rom that has this update baked in?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ViperGeek:
I may be mistaken, but I believe andyBONESTOCK 5.10.605.9 is the equivalent to the VZ update:

I'm running it on my DInc2 without issue.

Any changes of getting the update (ROM update, not the radio) as a flashable zip?

Behold!!!!

:D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] suprdave2:
Thanks but this is not a flashable zip of just the updated software pieces (plus his ROM requires a full wipe, which is unfriendly) :(
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JAS_21:
What are you running now?

If you are rooted and running a custom rom, there's no need for you to update. If you want a stock rooted rom, the link I posted is your best bet. A wipe is recommended anytime you switch roms.

I just don't understand what you would like to accomplish.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] suprdave2:
I am currently running RMK's stock/rooted 2.3.4. I want to upgrade to 2.3.5 with just flashing over the top. Done it with RMK's ROM's a couple of times now when he releases new versions without any issues.

Reinstalling and reconfiguring all the apps between ROM's sucks, so I am trying to avoid having to do that while still being able to upgrade to 2.3.5 :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JAS_21:
I understand now. You can try to flash without wiping, just make sure you do a backup first.

I would recommend a full wipe. To make it easier, just use Titanium Backup to restore all of your user apps. Download the app, make backups of user apps only, wipe and flash new ROM, restore the backups with data. Once you use this method it makes it fairly easy to switch ROMS. You would just have to set up your screens and settings.

If you try to flash without wiping, just make sure you do a nandroid backup in Recovery first. This way you can go back quickly if you have issues.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] suprdave2:
Thanks. Actually started trying that route before you replied. Superuser didn't work, and flashing the App he said to flash to fix the superuser issue still didn't fix superuser.

Tried installing RMK's superuser install zip to see if that would work and it borked the ROM, would just keep flashing the HTC logo over and over again.

Restoring back to my old 2.3.4. Will try again later :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] hakoreh:
We want to go from RMK Gingersense to the newest OTA. Bonestock puts all the bloat back in
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
gingerbangsense is mostly stock-ish and debloated for 5.xxx

just for those who dont like 5 column and transparent rosie, u wont like it
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bradsinram:
is there any way to root other then htc unlock after this?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JAS_21:
Yes, you need to downgrade the bootloader, then use the Revolutionary method. You can start here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1298990

This method gives you full s-off.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] collinray:
+9000 on this. I recommend hboot downgrade vs HTC unlock if you are comfortable with the process. it isn't really that much harder and you have soff with a little bit more control over your phone.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bradsinram:
I keep getting errors everytime, I'm on the newest 5.10 ota and on ubuntu so drivers shouldn't be an issue
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bradsinram:
I know about both processes but the downgrade tool won't work it gets to where its trying to flash that zip through hboot and at Sig check right after if says fail and my phone restarts
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] collinray:
Have you tried booting straight into flashboot in your phone first and then running the cmd script? That is what I had to do along with making sure that fastboot under power settings were turned off. If I didn't I would get stuck I this never ending boot loop.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bradsinram:
think i could get more detailed instrustions on this please
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] collinray:
Sure thing. I had to do the following steps in Win7 x64.

1) Follow the guide on the development site and download the ruu that includes the htc drivers, hboot .97, and the windows cmd script.

2) when installing the HTC drivers ensure that you follow the steps and uninstall what it tells you to.

3) on your phone go to settings power and then turn off fastboot

4) then on the phone go to development and turn on USB debugging (do not plug your phone in to your computer until you have installed the HTC drivers from the guide.)

5) reboot your phone and when booting up hold down power+volume down at the same time. Then select fast boot by pressing volume down then press power

6) once in fastboot on your phone then right click on the cmd script in windows and run as administrator.

7) the script should run for about a couple of minutes.once done it will reboot your phone with a fresh install of hboot.97 and a sense 2.1.

8) reboot the phone and hold down power and volume down and at the top it should say hboot.97. If it still says .98 just try the steps again.

9) if it says .97 reboot the phone, go down load revolution and follow their steps.

Fyi: Fast Boot power settings and fastboot are not the same thing even though they look the same.

Hope this helps

As requested and to be honest, I like this alot

This has only been tested on my device running ARHD 1.3.0 so let me know how it goes.

Make sure you take a NANDROID backup before doing anything!

I am not responsible for any issues you may encounter while or, from installing this apk

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] he_stheone64:
Funny enough I made a similar version in my Home forum, but I added semi transparent popup (also slightly more square, only 2 degrees) and based it on CM9 Launcher (compiled from source). If you are interested, I can PM you downoad link.

So sorry for highjacking this Thread, if you`re not happy with this post, I will delete it. In any case feel free to add my version to OP, if you like.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
You got pm
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] D_Magic:
Thanks alot for this...looks really nice.

Im now on pauls rom..waiting for arhd 1.3.3 , when its out im going to try this asap
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
It should work on Pauls rom but if he has made any launcher changes then you will lose them.

Always do a backup before you flash anything though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] D_Magic:
Thanks..got my backup ready :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] le_pere_noel:
hello, is it possible to have this mod in a zip file, in order to flash it in recovery :D ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
I'm quite new to all this but I am looking into how to do it in my spare time.

I don't believe it'll be too hard
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] he_stheone64:
Just use my update.zip from one of my threads and drag your apk in the zip. You can change name in update script with Notepad++ in MetaInf folder, so people don't read mine all the time :D

BTW - I will answer your PM once I'm back at my PC tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Elemenopee:
I like this a lot. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Cheers. Just seen how to do it. Looks pretty simple.

Edit : its done but I've got status 6 :-( what program for osx are people using?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mklass:
When I said on your other thread about makin the transparent background for the folders I knew it would look way better.. Thanks for makin this. I know every one using the Galaxy Nexus will use this this once they see it...

Transparent fonts :confused:

Just don't put a folder name?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] le_pere_noel:
sorry I mean transparent background, exactly the same as your first post but using a zip file instead of adb :)

No pb I can wait
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Elemenopee:
Can we expect a flashable zip of this mod soon?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Still trying to figure out why it aborts the flash :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] D_Magic:
Lol really hope you figure it out...can't wait to use this
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dan23945:
Sorry guys, slightly confused. The .zip that Evostance is working on will include the invisible folders and transparent backgrounds when the folder is opened?

Does the currently posted .apk have these features? Is there a reason other than convenience that you're waiting until the .zip is posted rather than using the .apk currently uploaded?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
They'll be the same thing. The zip is just for ease of use? If you know how to use the adb commands then you can just flash the apk in the first post
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Elemenopee:
Took a bit of time to figure it out but I got it to work. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Glad it worked.

As a side note. Can anyone make this an update.zip for me.

My mac is just not having it, I'm getting closer but i have a feeling Osx dumps hidden files into zips...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] StuXoom:
How'd you get it working? I was unable to install using the manual method or by creating a zip.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bowsersoulstar:
Evostance, sorry for the off-topic question but what's that weather widget you have on your preview screenshot?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Beautiful widgets with the yr icons
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] StuXoom:
Any progress on a flashable zip of this mod? I tried installing using the instructions in the first post but didn't have much luck. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] umsheikh:
I am assuming that you will have to be rooted to push to apk? Sorry, new to this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thomasoreilly:
Me too new to all this, wondering the same thing. Looks awesome, should be built in :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] StuXoom:
Yes, you need to be rooted as you need to be able to overwrite the stock Launcher2.apk.

I eventually got this working on mine and it looks great! I couldn't get the adb push command to work but manually renaming the stock Launcher2.apk and copying this one over worked for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
What OS are you on?

Ill make a file to automate it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dthielke:
I really like how this looks, but after installing this all of my google widgets (calendar, voice, etc) are the wrong size by default and no longer fit on any of the screens. The bookmarks widget, for example, says it's 6x3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
What ROM are you running? I think theres an issue with 4.0.3 :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Updated to work with 4.0.3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] paOol:
what calendar/agenda widget is that?

looks nice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dthielke:
I'm running 4.0.3 bugless beast. I'll try your updated version and let you know how it goes.

Edit: 4.0.3 version works perfectly. Thanks! :)

Sorry if this is too Noobish-

Rooted LTE GNex here

I'm getting an error at adb remount - "remount failed: Operation not permitted"

If I keep trying, I can adb shell stop fine, but when I try to push the Launcher2.apk, I first got "failed to copy.... Read-only file system"

I used root explorer to set /system/app to R/W

Now, I get "failed to copy.... permission denied"

Do I need to change the rights to /system/app?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
You will need to be running a custom ROM that is deodexed

Try using adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system/app
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigjar:
what he said above :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
I think it might be Pure Calendar Widget or something like that
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] irishrally:
It worked fine using the instructions in the OP. Thanks, this is a small change that makes such a big difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
Is there a way to incorporate this with a different launcher? I would like to do this to Nova launcher. I have changed images in the Nova.apk SystemUI.apk, are those the only changes needed and if so what images? And maybe a transparent icon I can drop in it to replace stock image?

Edit: Yes you can do this on ANY Launcher. Just modify three images. The: portal_ring_inner.png, portal_ring_outer.png, portal_ring_rest.png and make them transparent using this image: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14168006/hotseat_track_holo.9.zip. Its a transparent image. Rename it to the three incons above and drop them into your launcher.apk, then move to Phone and reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] umsheikh:
Quick question...new to android. Just rooted my phone, but by default whenever i run any adb command i dont get the root. So in order to get root i generally have to go into the shell by saying: adb shell su

This opens a shell where I have root access, but now in this shell I obviously not run any of the adb commands. Any idea why I am not able to get root when i use adb or why i get permissions denied when using the following command:

adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system/app

I hope I am making some sense. Appreciate the help / knowledge.

---------- Post added at 08:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 AM ----------

So as a workaround I installed Busybox and used the cp command to copy the apk to /system.

I will still appreciate if someone can help me understand why my adb does not have root access (hopefully i am using the right terminology)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] irishrally:
bump, because I'm pissed it took so long to find this again. Surprised this isn't a more popular mod.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Krijs:
Thanks for bumping this, looks like a great mod.

I am trying this, however it doesn't seem to be working. I grabbed the NovaLauncher.apk from my phone, opened it up with winrar, overwrote the aforementioned images with the one from your Dropbox (I of course renamed to the correct names), pushed the apk back into /system/app and rebooted, however the folders are still showing! Am I missing something here? :/

edit: I'm running aokp m2 btw, so I am on a deodexed rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sert00:
can you explain more which are the folder that contins these files?i opened the apk of nova and apex launcher..but i haven't these files...i have same files but named with "holo" in the end of the name....i'd want to know in which folders are the files "portal_ring_inner.png, portal_ring_outer.png, portal_ring_rest.png...thanks in advance!!;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
This won't work like that.

You will need to use apktool to extract the apk. Then you can swap the images out and compress using apktool. Sign it. Copy to phone and job done
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nizam1205:
Well. actually, i can confirm that the files are in "drawable-hdpi" folder and the names should be "portal_ring_outer_holo.png" , portal_ring_inner_holo.png" , and portal_ring_rest.png" , and i didnt use apktool,

nah, what the heck, here is the modded file...

Dont forget to open whateverlauncher.apk with winrar and drag the file inside the winrar attached to the "drawable-hdpi" folder. Remember to fix permission to rw-r--r--.

Regards

Nizam

p/s:

What file did you mod to make the transparent folder? TQ
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brk3:
Got it working, great little hack :) Maybe it's different for some launchers but for 4.0.3 it's drawable-xhdpi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] irishrally:
Working with Apex Launcher just using root explorer on the phone. I wish custom launcher chefs would bake this in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chocoyo00:
Can someone upload the file for 4.0.3 on Mediafire or dropbox? Filesonic on OP is not working.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] irishrally:
Use Mandlebrot's file and method. Worked for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ars0n:
Sigh, having a hell uva problem getting these to install on codename andriod rom 1.20.. 4.0.3..

Using root explorer to copy the CNDlauncher.apk to my pc..

using winrar I overwrote the files as per the instructions with the 3 files in the transparent folder zip... (making sure each file was copied over and asked to overwrite..)

Then adb pushed the apk just like in the OP...

rebooted.... nodda =( same folders...

any ideas gang?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] abezapata:
Hey guys,

As I am sure a lot of you are, I came from the Captivate the OG Galaxy S for AT&T which had a lot of dev support towards the end. I ended up upgrading to this phone after my USB port died and was no longer usable making it extremely difficult to ROM my phone.

Anyway like the title says is there any way to do a Master Clear on the AT&T GS2 like was possible on the Cappy through ODIN?

I have files that have built up after several ROM flashes and I would not mind cleaning it up a bit.

Thanks for the input.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cwc3:
Possibly

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
Neither of those is what the OP is asking for.

What can you advise to use :Clockworkmod or 4EXT recovery

Grts
[HTC Desire S] kire.htc:
4ext
[HTC Desire S] gordo79:
4EXT with the new touch ui very nice indeed
[HTC Desire S] Grant2k:
4EXT recovery more features
[HTC Desire S] trifonius:
All repliers favor EXT4 so so far. What are the key features above CWM?

Can EXT4 be flashed over CWM?
[HTC Desire S] zeekiz:
Flash 4EXT recovery through fastboot, or download the free application from the development thread, or from the website.

No problems flashing over Clockwork Recovery.

I'd highly recommend using the 4EXT Recovery solution, its a fantastic recovery option with both classic style recovery, as well as the option for a new and improved touch version.

But basically it is built similar to Clockwork Recovery, just with a lot more functionality beneath the hood, making it a swiss army knife.
[HTC Desire S] hvs_ual:
4EXT for sure. More functional and more informative.
[HTC Desire S] ajhavery:
4EXT, it offers more features than clockworkmod.
[HTC Desire S] chubby65:
Will the backups from cwm work with 4ext probably a silly question

4ext is based on cwm, yes, the other way round even works.

I find with mine it shows the weather correctly but it seems to drop and I have to update it really often.
[Epic 4G General] roghaj:
Not exactly excited about the touchwiz aspect, but I just want MTD and 4G.
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Chances of this happening are *extremely* slim.
[Epic 4G General] qbking77:
No there will most likely never be an mtd touchwiz rom.
[Epic 4G General] flastnoles11:
So our only chance for mtd is miui or cm7?
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Or any other AOSP rom, yes. For example, CM9 and ICS MIUI will both only be MTD for us.

A TouchWiz rom w/ MTD is possible, but very unlikely and probably not even worth the time.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
At the moment. ICS will need MTD and someone could always try their hand at developing a pure AOSP ROM.
[Epic 4G General] Zeinzu:
Not worth the time? Why? Not everyone is a big fan of MIUI or Cyanogen. I see no reason why this shouldn't be developed as something all rooted users could take advantage of.
[Epic 4G General] AproSamurai:
Ehhhh, it requires you have android_kernel_epic4g_gb_official, android_device_samsung_epicmtd, a few other repos I don't remember off the top of my head, CM source, and then you've got to hope it compiles the issue is that it compiles with a CM build. Naturally our regular kernels don't necessarily have a 2 stage init. Go look and see if you can find a stock MTD kernel for other devices which didn't start at stock as MTD, I'm not sure there are many, if not any at all.
