I received my new nook tablet for xmas and it is still on 1.4.0. as I haven't connected it to the internet yet. So do I just follow Indirect's post on full root step by step? And will that block OTA's as well? Sorry for noob posts I just want to get this right as I am still on 1.4.0. Thanks.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rjin9673:
Using the method found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1354487 you will block any OTAs, and will give you options along the away on how much google you want, and how little B&N and you. It is the closest we have to a 1-click root.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bobapunk:
Go Here. Follow the steps exactly, particularly the ones about installing the drivers.

Indirect has added OTA Blocking to his root script so once the script is done, you will be OTA proof!

Thanks guys! I really appreciate it.

Hi,

I localized the values in the framework-res.apk and it worked ,

but when I click any button like "Recovery" the device just restart :(

so is there anywhere else I need to localize besides framework-res ?

Thanks.

I'm not a dev at all, but I think this tool can help you: a too for making coustoms hboot by _thalamus

http://thalamus-hacking.blogspot.com/2011/07/custom-hbootsupdate.html

I have been using for months without any problem ;)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Well, if you manage to learn how to reverse engineer and manipulate hboot, do share.. You might want to ask thalamus. I read that he'd done it.

Edit: Ah blackhawk_LA has already posted that. :)

@blackhawk_LA, is there an open source version of this tool?
[Desire Android Development] Proz0r:
Awesome, thanks! Wish there was a Linux version of it, luckily, I have Windows in dual-boot so I'll whip something up in a minute!

Yeah, I'm interested in how this works too.
[Desire Android Development] blackhawk_LA:
I don't know, I just found that tool and start using it, I can't do anything more :p
[Desire Android Development] Proz0r:
@blackhawk_LA

Have you ever had any issues with the application? It's making a very important part of the system and if any errors would occur, it would be a catastrophe, which is why I am a bit apprehensive towards this program.
[Desire Android Development] Chaosz-X:
Make HBOOTS with it which have the same sizes as the HBOOTs from Alpharev, compare MD5, if they match, it's probably safe. Then you should be good to go to make a custom HBOOT with it ;)
[Desire Android Development] blackhawk_LA:
Never had any issue, I have used it very carefully to make at least 10 different custom hboots, and my phone is still alive :)

More statistics are needed to say it's completely safe but I think thalamus did a perfect job
[Desire Android Development] ckpv5:
I can say the program is very safe... have a dozen of custom hboots with it... no problem at all.

And looking forward to your INT2SD for sense.. :)

[Desire Android Development] Iperzampem0:
I'm very interested too!!! Thanks and keep up the awesome work!

When it'll be available I'll try it into my rom.
[Desire Android Development] Proz0r:
Thanks man, have you tested it?
[Desire Android Development] Chaosz-X:
You're not telling me everyone is too afraid to flash it, so everyone hopes someone else tries it to take the risk... -.-
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
yes...its the one i use in my roms...and 40mb real data is really good to add apps like maps (that can updated) to the rom :)

with kind regards
[Desire Android Development] Proz0r:
I need my phone for the next couple of days and therefore cannot try it myself.

Nice. Should real data be reduced to 5 MB or be left at 40 MB then, in INT2SD? Since it won't be needed for symlinks with it, I only see the point in having the 5 MB for the fsck log.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Word of advice.. Before flashing new hboot, use the alpharev downgrader. Otherwise you're screwed if the hboot turns out to be a corrupt file
[Desire Android Development] Proz0r:
Thanks man, could you briefly describe what would happen if I would flash a corrupted HBOOT with and without flashing the downgrader prior?
[Desire Android Development] Chaosz-X:
Well, AFAIK the HBOOT is also the white screen you get when you press Vol Down+Power, and it probably also involves the bootprocess normally, so I would say: broken HBOOT = a very nice brick.

Though I don't know what the downgrader is..
[Desire Android Development] Proz0r:
Yup, I know about that, I'm wondering about the downgrader too.
[Desire Android Development] ckpv5:
I'm always use the hboot-downgrade whenever I change hboot no matter whether the previous hboot is a lock hboot or an unlock hboot. It is always best to unlock the hboot before flashing a new one to be on a safe side.

Here is hboot with 427mb/system, 5mb/cache & 5mb/data as you mentioned here

I tested the hboot by flashing it to my phone.. no problem to go to recovery, no problem to boot to bootloader. but I don't have any ROM which can fit a 5mb data partition to test. The lowest I ever go is 30mb/data.

Note: to change to another hboot.. use the hboot_downgrade first as this is a lock hboot.

Edit : Manage to squeeze the ROM to fit a 5mb/data ... so confirm the hboot works.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Well flashing a corrupt hboot does not mean a brick, but corrupting and flashing a locked hboot like a alpharev does. Most people will not be able to unbrick it. After some advanced hexediting, I was able to unbrick mine, but it can give you a panic attack. Completely black screen, and fastboot refusing to flash any hboot (yes, even the alpharev downgrader).
[Desire Android Development] Proz0r:
Cheers man, I'll be home tomorrow and can get to work on the first Sense ROM featuring INT2SD. Any volunteers? :)

Thanks, that clears it up for me.
[Desire Android Development] Iperzampem0:
No more news? If you want I'm ready to test this into my HyperSense v2.8 ;)
[Desire Android Development] andreigherghe:
I never ever flashed the downgraded when changing HBOOTS. Changed between stock, oxygen, cm7r2 and data++ a gazilion times. No problem until now. From what i know, the downgrader is used to revert back to S-ON.

From alpharev:

Also, droidzone

Huh? I bought that if you have a bad HBOOT flash it IS a brick. Or am i wrong?

Alpharev is is locked? I thought it is S-OFFd. Or (again), i'm wrong? If yes, what's the difference between locked and unlocked?

How were you able to write HBOOT without actually entering fastboot?

Thanks for your time
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I said alpharev is locked only in the sense that it protects the hboot version from being downgraded by other hboot, until you flash a downgrader which brings down the version.

Supposing that you flash a bad hboot, as I did while I was experimenting with hboot hexediting, you get a black screen and nothing to guide you but vibrations. But if you use the sequence of keys required to land into fastboot, the phone does allow you to flash hboots. Now flashing a good hboot over the corrupt locked alpharev hboot as I had, didn't do any good. Finally however I flashed a hexedited one and restored it. But it's not easy to do.

But you can't call that a real brick. :)

This sounds superb, well done on doing this :) question can this be used on seb..15 runnymede aio?
[Desire Android Development] Proz0r:
I have contacted anderl78, waiting for a reply :)

Thanks! :) I will try and get in touch with him. If I get a green light from him, then sure! It will be quite an endeavour, with AROMA and all :)
[Desire Android Development] shankly1985:
Thanks :) I would love to try this with a sense 3.5 rom or even Ics. Love the fact full system is on nand superb work leaving just sd ext for apps.

Question

I am using cm7/r2 hboot, when times comes for me to use this am I right in thinking I just flash your hboot no need to downgrade first?
[Desire Android Development] Proz0r:
Using a downgrader is probably a good idea, but I don't think it's necessary. I'm using it at the moment and am experiencing no issues whatsoever.

I have messages sebastiaan15, waiting for a reply.

Regarding ICS, I couldn't get a green light from Sandvold (no response).
[Desire Android Development] shankly1985:
Thanks so to be safe its best to flash downgrader, then flash your hboot, what about switching back if I needed to same again?

Sorry for question dont need a bricked phone right now :D
[Desire Android Development] Proz0r:
If you need to switch back, just flash your previous HBOOT .img file, that should be it :)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
again :) nice work :) thx

Also...we have now the complete space of the sd-ext free...in the past with d2ext scripts...on some i have not the complete space free :)

[Desire Android Development] Iperzampem0:
WOW, looks gorgeous!!

Can you make it for my HyperSense please? :)

Thank you very much for your work!!!
[Desire Android Development] shankly1985:
Sounds great, with using this can you test latest market app out and see if it still lags when installing apps please?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
yep...its great...but i always flash back to old market...its faster....i like the ui of new market but for me i have problems with lag...as you said....i think in new phones there is no problem...because these pphones have much space also without any data2sd things ;) :)

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] shankly1985:
Yer this is true my gf galaxy s2 is super fast. My market is very fast un-till you install an app that is lol.

Because market cache is also on ext, seb..15 said so it slows down. But if he uses this new hboot all system files with be on nand, just apps on ext right? so it then should speed things up really fast.

yep..thats what i mean... :) ;)

Hi, any news on getting green light from Sandvold? As would really like to try his newest ICS build with this script. And wonder how it would actually benefit compared to amarulz or other scripts?

Sure, it would be a bit more difficult seeing as I do not own a Nexus One (you can send me one though :p), but it's certainly doable!

Nope, he's not responding. You could try and ask him yourself, though.

Sure, I'll ask him :)

No, nothing, he too is not responding, you can try and ask him yourself.

[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
i use rmd recovery...it have a option to flash hboots in normal img format :)

with kind regards
[Desire Android Development] Iperzampem0:
@Proz0r:

LOL, but you cannot share the files needed? Which files do you have to modify and how? Looking at the Alex-V rom, it seems that is changed a little bit the structure of the rom, and there're some script files. It's not a problem. Is it?
[Desire Android Development] Proz0r:
You can take a look at the modified ROM and you will find 3 new files in /system/etc, dalchk, fsck and sleep. These files are executed by init.rc because of my modifications to it. You can also decompile the boot.img and use a tool such as diff or diffuse (a GUI for diff) and check the differences between it and the unmodified init.rc from Alex's standard, D2EXT ROM. However, his ROM required another init.d script to move weather animations to /data, and modifications to the updater-script to flash everything that would normally be flashed to /data, to be flashed to /sd-ext. Sounds simple enough, right? Well, it's actually not quite as simple. When I have first implemented INT2SD to CyanogenMod 7, all I had to do was edit a few lines and add those three scripts. There was not a single ROM (and there are a few unreleased ones which I've worked on) to which I could apply a "standard" procedure. Each ROM required further modifications on its own and being the one who devised INT2SD, I know what I should look out for in order to avoid catastrophical bugs. ROM developers do not. This is why I do NOT offer support for "homemade" INT2SD implementations. Every ROM has its own peculiarities that need tending to and INT2SD implementations need to be very flexible to allow the ROM to work in conjunction with it. Sure, everything could go great, but INT2SD is extremely easy to implement horribly wrong and have huge bugs and even unbootable systems, and without knowing what the dev did to put it in their ROM, it is next to impossible for me to troubleshoot and fix. It would probably end up with me having to implement it myself either way in most cases and having angry developers and possibly users on my hands being pissed at me for doing a bad job and releasing a ****ty product, when the problem was just a typo in init.rc. That's why I have not nor will I release instructions for devs on how to implement it themselves.
[Desire Android Development] resadent:
Thanks mate. Already looking forward to it ! :)

For the moment, only one rom, from AlexV, support this D2EXT method, as explained in the first post... Maybe should you read it again...

To Proz0r :

I'm experiencing many problems to download the Alex's rom from filesavr. Are you going to upload the rom elsewhere ?

In these troubled times, may i suggest this host : http://dl.free.fr/ (serious internet service provider from France)

Anyway, thanks Proz0r for your job, cannot wait to try it.

Hello Proz0r! Interesting work - thank you for your work and efforts! Im already here in your thread (till now only reading). At first thank you and the users for the interest on a INT2SD An-Droid build.

I'm not sure about this, or if this really make sense in my ROM. My ROM is a stock GB desire ROM which fits into the stock hboot. The odexed system makes it possible to install a lot of apps, the data++ build even more.

I don't see much benefit from complete data on SD-ext (with for example INT2SD). My personal experience with Data2sdext implementations are a slower system but with a lot of space for apps. My data++ build gives a lot of space for apps (up to 250, 300 should be no problem, with dalvik-cache on SD-ext even more... ) and a fast ROM too.

In my opinion INT2SD is a really good thing for hybrid / sense 3.5 ROMs with more /system space usage. No offense, but I don't know if its really useful for my ROM.

What do you think about my thoughts? Perhaps I'm totally wrong... ;)

Sent from my An-Droid loaded Desire
[Desire Android Development] Proz0r:
Yeah, for speeding the ROM up, it will probably have the opposite effect - slow it down (if we're comparing INT2SD with regular A2SD). Stock ROMs like yours which do not have system stuff on /sd-ext won't really benefit from it and advantages of INT2SD as compared to other D2EXT methods fade away quickly. A small speed improvement will still probably be present as compared to other scripts since the approach is more straight-forward (as opposed to using symlinks and bind mounts), but if it's worthwhile is up for debate. I guess it depends on user demand, right? ;)

Thanks for the hosting suggestion!
[Desire Android Development] anderl78:
Don't know, if the ROM speed is good enough with INT2SD, but perhaps its worth a try - if you want to make a trial-build...

[Desire Android Development] moophlo:
Hi ckpv5, I'm asking you because you look kind of an hboot expert :)

I have a Desire with stock hboot 0.93, unrevoked already done (so CWM recovery up and running) and a custom ROM with root, busybox and everything. Now I'm curious about this new INT2SD so I wanna try it, but I need to flash the fatsys hboot first. Now the question is: can I just flash via CWM recovery the zip you kindly provided or do I need to run alpharev first???

Thank you very much,

moophlo
[Desire Android Development] ckpv5:
Don't use the zip file that I posted, use the one provided by Proz0r.

But you can only flash it in fastboot mode "fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl-fatsys.img" or install fastboot commander and use it to flash the hboot.
[Desire Android Development] blackhawk_LA:
You need to be s-off to change the hboot (you didn't say it in your post so I don't know if you've done it already)

Then you can follow the instructions by ckpv5. Another way is using RMD recovery, selecting "flash image from sdcard" and then hboot ;)
[Desire Android Development] moophlo:
ok I'm s-on now, do I need to alpharev to be s-off???

Thank you very much

[Desire Android Development] pedrocel85:
Hey prozor!,

Great work you have done.

I used aled rom for some thime and it turn to be a litle buggy in my day to day life.

Is it possible to add anothe sense build? :D
[Desire Android Development] nlooooo:
Hi, man,

Perfect idea. I tried Alex rom but I got stucked on the first screen and almost all processes with force close and wait window. Tried with wait, tried flashing several times but always got the same results. I even tried to download rom again and to flash hboot again but no help.

Any ideas what's the problem? I think that my sd-ext was ext3 could that be the problem?
[Desire Android Development] Proz0r:
Hmm... What's your card's class? Can you send me your recovery.log after you flash the ROM and the logcat output?
[Desire Android Development] nlooooo:
Card is Kingston class 4 8gb, erased recovery.log (i flashed it about 20 days ago and have tried numerous roms since then). Not sure about logcat, some instruction please, I've never done that (I'm still not far enough from noob-maybe advanced noob :) ).
[Desire Android Development] Proz0r:
Hehe, sure! First of all, you need Android SDK, you can use this guide to set it up. There are instructions on how to use ADB there, and once you set it up, just connect your device when it's at the point where it starts force closing, run cmd (assuming you're running Windows), navigate to the directory where ADB is located (using 'cd C:\path\', as described in the guide) and type in:

adb logcat > C:\logcat.txt

Then press Ctrl+C after about 50-60 seconds.

And after it's done, navigate to C:\ and copy the contents of logcat.txt to Pastebin and post the link here.
[Desire Android Development] nlooooo:
Ok, I have ADB and I'm using it for some time (mostly for flashing of hboots and recoveries with fastboot).

Trying again, and when I finish I'll send you the famous "logcat".
[Desire Android Development] Proz0r:
Great! :)
[Desire Android Development] nlooooo:
And, like always, phone has booted, gave me a lockscreen, then several FC windows, I touched "wait", and when I unlock I have only a white HTC screen and that's the end.

And at the bare beginning I got the window saying "android.proces........" force closed that appeared for, maybe, a second and disappeared with no interaction.

Pastebin f**ked me up so I attached logcat to the message. :D
[Desire Android Development] Proz0r:
Well, the bucketload of ANRs (Application Not Responding) both you and the logcat report would suggest that your card is basically too slow for INT2SD which has the entire /data (including Dalvik cache) on the SD, especially in combination with the resource-hungry beast that is Sense.
[Desire Android Development] nlooooo:
Thanx.

This time I tried with ext4. So, when I buy something faster I'll try again, I'm very interested how it all goes with fatsys. What would you recommend class 6, 8 or what? I heard some rumors about problems with class 10.
[Desire Android Development] Proz0r:
I have a class 10, and it seems slower than it should be, though those are all the issues (if you can call that an issue :) ) I'm experiencing. Class 6 should be enough, though some people have reported problems with C6 being too slow as well, yet it works like a charm for others. Probably better to ask someone who has more experience with SD performance since I have only ever used a grand total of 3 cards with my 2 Android phones (two of those came along with the phones) :) Good luck!
[Desire Android Development] nlooooo:
Thanx man, I appreciate that.

I think it also has connection with manufacturer, Kingston is not that fast, Transcend and Sandisk are better by my opinion.
