Yeah guys, sounds like fixing the permissions after flashing such will help. I don't know alot about building roms and such but I have been learning little by little, the flashable zips will be up soon and I suggest everyone backs up with titanium and flashes these instead :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
NEVER!!!! Lol... no problems here... but I did the conversion myself I didn't flash your "cheaters way out"... lol... jk
[Epic 4G Android Development] The_Legendary:
Hahahahaha yeah it was easy already wasn't it. But hopefully this will fix any bugs and I can formally thank the devs :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nashdogg:
Haha guys. I'm a cheater. Lol. I did sign into gmail not sure if I synced though. Will try it out. Thanks for the tip.

Edit.. nope that didn't work either or fixing permissions. Waiting on zip now cause I can't even cheat right. Lol

Did you get my PM suggestion?
[Epic 4G Android Development] The_Legendary:
Do you mean about not being on cm7 when restoring?? Well I converted the actual roms now, so you can just flash them. I removed the old links to the backups and hopefully will have the links to the roms soon.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tkoreaper:
False alarm... It worked for a little bit and had no problems, then just now (about 30-45 mins after flashing) I heard my phone's notification chime and I knew it was the Google Talk error again... so I checked the market and it's broke again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] The_Legendary:
Hey all sorry but I seem to have run into a problem. I am trying to work it out right now :( wasn't as easy as I thought it to be.

Well guys I got it working now. I used Legendary rc2.2 and shadow kernel MTD. I am testing it now and it looks great. Wifi works, downloads from market work, gmail is working, this will convert BML to MTD, the bootanimation doesn't change, so I will suggest flashing a new kernel, other then that it seems real snappy :) and in storage it shows I have 595MB of system storage with a clean install.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Robalboa:
I found this app on the market called app2sd droid sail (requires root) it somehow moves the apps differently then the regular app2sd does I got 114 apps on my phone now with 200mb remaining plus I can move more if I want. wow I don't know how it works but it does.

I don't get exactly what you mean by differently. How does it differ to you then normal app2sd. and side not I got 676.5MB total and 77.79 used by clean install of Legendary RC 2.2

EDIT: WOW this guy might be on to something, what is the size difference when moving an app from storage to SD with apps2sd?? Because I downloaded zenoina 3 which is around 10mb installed on internal and when I used said app above to move to sd card it was now only around 600kb!!! I don't see how this is possible or is it just changing what it says under applications??
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nashdogg:
So where's the zip files to download? I passed out and just gettin up for work and see you got it goin. I wanna try this out. These gtalk fails are pissin me off. :)

I'm telling ya that droid sail app works differently it reinstalls the app somehow to the sd card through superuser permission I got 250mb availible now with 114 market apps installed on 2.2 BML ext4. One app I had to move back because it wouldn't work properly. Besides that, the only reason I would have swiitched to MTD was for space. Now I will surely wait for mtd. Plus I need 4g and I don't believe it works on mtd. I checked the system storage availible 3 different ways and its for sure 250mb availible with 114 market apps installed! Wooo hoooo!!!!

4g works just fine on mtd! Running an mtd rom right now on 4g... Its only cm7 and miui that 4g doesn't work... and a little birdy told me that they may have figured it out... but I can't confirm nor deny that! And please everybody same rule! Don't go over to cm7 thread asking if they got 4g working, if and when they decide to release you will know!

It was easy. The key is to not use ROM Manager, use CWM 5.027 from the 3 finger salute to make your backup (do not rename) and follow the rest of the instructions on renaming the files for restore. I make 2 backups, one to edit and one to keep as a BML backup in case something goes wrong. (which it didn't.)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nashdogg:
I figured out the gtalk error thing. If you do a clean install of one of these roms you will get the google authentication failed no matter what you do to fix. Tried syncing gmail, tried privacy tab/factory reset, fixing permissions, anything you can think of.

So i did a full wipe and flashed clean gb mtd and booted, went back to cwm advanced restored as explained in op, fixed permissions, booted again, then back to cwm and wipped cache and dalvik and flashed ronin5. Havnt had gtalk problems and everything seems good.

Does anyone know if legendary posted any of those zip files for those roms yet. Wanted to test them out to see if the same problem happens with those.

I also had the GTALK error. I started on Toad's Clean GB MTD 1.0.3 and Clean GB kernel to get to MTD a few days ago.

After I carefully followed the GREAT instructions, I advanced restored the Legendary 2.2 and Samaurai Kernel and fixed permissions, I started getting the GTALK Authentication Failure.

I also had some force closes whenever I tried to download something from the market.

I reset phone, wiped user data and havent had a problem since. ( I had a fleeting thought that it may have been trying to sync up with Legendary's GTALK acct name and password.... :-)

I am very happy to be back on Legendary ROM 2.2 and am now running it flawlessly with Shadow Kernel and the RC2.1 all blue theme ala KennyGlass. It's Super snappy, looks great and no FC's and everything just works.

Thank You!

Exactly how do you go about to wipe user data?

Go to privacy tab in phone settings and do a factory reset.

Thanks. Alright the data wipe did not work for my gtalk problems. I guess I'll be going the clean GB MTD route next. Any suggestions as to the best/fastest kernel to use with the legendary 2.2 MTD?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Both Samurai and Shadowkernel MTD versions work fantastic with Legendary on MTD. I like the voodoo color defaults of Shadowkernel so am using that.

There is another thread in develpement on how to convert your favorite bml rom to mtd... very easy to follow and very great direction. Go there and follow the directons and you will be on mtd in about 10 minutes flat... most of that time is spent downloading an mtd rom! Very easy trust me... my niece did it while I explained it to her on the phone... make the jump it'll be worth it in the long run

Market Issues on Legendary

I started having issues when trying to download anything from the Market after following the great instructions to add Legendary as an MTD rom to my phone.

Reading thru the posts to try to figure out what to do - I am a little confused and wondered if someone could give me step by step instructions for this? When I go to privacy to "reset user data" the warning message given there concerns me - it sounds like it is going to wipe everything and return to stock or somehting -

sorry if this makes me sound like a noob - but please confirmm the steps -

go to Settings - Privacy - factory data reset

at this point do I click "Reset Phone"? and if I do - what do I need to do next? Is that it? (it sounds like I am going to have a wiped phone - so do I need to go back and do the steps to install over again?

thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
It will wipe your data and 3rd party apps from your phone. You can redownload the apps from the market and your contacts (if saved on Google) will come back when you sync your Gmail. Otherwise export contacts to sd card and import them afterwards.

Hey guys, sorry, I was up till 6am EST trying to get this crap to work. I think imma need some help. The weird part is I got it to work once with legendary rc2.2 but not with any other roms, and I did the steps exactly the same like 10 times over. It started to frustrate me so I took a break, but now I'm ready. I can post the working zip of Legendary if anyone wants to test it for me. Then I need to figure out what was the difference but I'm not seeing any when I open up legend compared to any other rom I converted.

Everybody that is having the market issues and gtalk issues did you convert yourself or did you use one of The_Legendary backups? If you used his backup I advise you to go back and do the conversion yourself! Something about his backups are causing the error (sorry Legendary!) I did the conversion myself and no errors... used one of hiss backup and same market error everybody else was having...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nashdogg:
Legendary was able to get Legendary 2.2 into a flashable zip that converts you to mtd. I tested it for him and I can confirm that this method works. Been running it for about three hours now with no problems. He is working on others now but having problems.

Hmm you might be right, maybei should try adding the framework from the era-mtd and replacing the other roms with it, i also tried signing the rom but a no go there, but what i should have mentioned is the roms will install but once the boot animation is done losing i get the black screen of death, what causes this because that is what i believe the problem is??

And this is also what I think isn't helping, I had atleast 20 roms flashed after my last odin, and this might not be helping me with this whole thing. I am thinking a complete fresh install might help alittle, and if not atleast I can knock that out. Once I find my micro usb cord that is :\

Ok so something weird here... I made a backup of legendary that I converted myself and it is now doing the same thing when I restore... it is going through the boot ani and then to a black screen...

sent from my MTD powered Legendary Epic
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nashdogg:
I think it might have something to do with the updater script. I think it was the problem that The_Legendary was running into. Its not telling cement where to install things properly. I could be wrong though. Bbelos and him were working on it last I talked to him.

[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Now I have an even bigger problem... seems that every mtd backup I have will not restore... none... not a fressh install of cleangb mtd either... freaking weird... any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Could that be related? Could it be messing with recovery? Flast, even after an Odin and reflash it won't restore? Maybe that is why Legendary can't flash others, the first time messes something up requiring Odining to stock and starting again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Yeah I'm thinking that maybe it... like it messes up the partition maybe... idk... I did. A clean install of clean gb mtd and backed that up and I got that to restore... BUT!!!! I tried to flash a theme (following the proper mtd procedures of course) and bam, same thing... halfway through boot animation and then nothing but a black screen and the capacitive lights and keyboard lights... very confusing and very frustrating

Edit- and now I'm stuck with the damned stock freaking gb theme and it is super ugly!!!! Lol

Would you have to mount system to do a restore that has a theme on it? I don't know, just a thought.

[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Ya know not a bad thought... and actually after I read that I read a post that drockstar posted and said for his backup to restore he had to mount system and data for it to take... I did get my backup to restore by odining and starting all over... reflashing clean gb, redoing a backup and then restoring to see if that worked and it did.... so think I'm holding off on the manually updating to mtd for now until everything gets straightened out... btw themes still will not take on clean gb mtd... mount system, flash, unmouunt and boot and it changed the bootanimation so I know it took but screen goes black after bootanimation and then nothing... this is all very $%^&*+_ frustrating!
[Epic 4G Android Development] DCRocks:
just a quick note on my experiance with the conversion

I was running legenday 2.2 with the shake and bake theme on ETX4

I did nto do any wipes/resets as part of the process

I did a full NAND backup, edited the NAND file for the filetype changes, (though you should just be able to drop the converted MTD ROM NAND backup from the OP post into the dir and use it as a restore) flashed CleanGB, booted up the phone and got the MTD recovery and conversion, then booted into recovery, mounted system and data, did an advanced restore of just system and data (if you use the NAND fromthe OP, should just need to restore system), flashed the Samauri TW MTD kernel, rebooted, and my phone was back to exactly as it was before the conversion, but now on MTD
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
That's how I did it to... but then the backup of legendary converted to mtd wouldn't restore...

Hey guys I finally got ThunderHawk and SleeperRom flashable zips working. The problem this whole time other then not having the right updater-script (credits to bbelos for giving me his which I used as a base) was that for some reason I had to odin back to BML. Once i did that rooted and got cwm back then flashed the zip, let it convert and BLAM it worked, I am testing it for issues right now, yeah I know having to odin sucks but if your already on BML then you lucked out and should just be able to flash :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
That's what I thought happened to you and Flastnoles11. Something in the 2nd flash screwed up your phones a little somewhere. Odin to the rescue! Glad you got it worked out.

Way to go legendary! Knew you'd get it workd out! Too bad cm7 has 4g now cuz that's where I'm staying!
[Epic 4G Android Development] The_Legendary:
Well Flat you should look into the lag fix and smooth scroll if you had not already. I got ThunderHawk and SleeperRom done, and working on Urban Precision X2 right now, aslong as you come from BML they work fine for some odd reason, but you try coming from MTD and it's a no go. So everytime you want to flash a different one of these you have to odin, which I don't mind because I do that once in awhile anyways, but if you know your setup then this is great, you can flash other kernels and themes still. Wifi works and no errors, seems fast and snappy aslong as you come from bml. I will have them up later tonight.

Yep imma have to look into it cuz can't get any wireless tether apps to work in infrastructure... that's a def deal breaker for me!
