[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gakuseinozen:
Hi all,

About to root and rom for the first time on any phone and I was wondering a few things.

First, after I install clockwork mod recovery, I can make a backup... Does this backup have the ability to restore all of my apps and data after I install a custom rom? Also, does it restore things like homescreen widgets, app settings etc as well?

Secondly, after I install the rom of my choice, how does updating it to a newer version work? Will updating to a newer version wipe my phone completely or is it like receiving a stock ota update in that it doesn't erase anything?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johantheolive:
1) The backups in clockworkmod are of your entire phone. Without a 3rd party app such as titanium you won't be able to restore specific pieces of it. IMO clockworkmod backups are meant to be used to restore your entire phone if something goes wrong. Titanium has a feature where you can restore specific stuff from the backups, but I would recommend creating backups via titanium rather than relying on what was done in clockworkmod. Personally, I backup everything with titanium then do a backup in clockworkmod before I flash a rom. App settings will restore, widgets do but many times you'll have to add them again because they restore with placeholders for whatever reason.

2) Updating a rom is dependent on the specific rom and often the version. Some roms you can just flash over what you're running, sometimes an update will be significant enough to require a wipe. Even if a rom doesn't require a wipe, I'd advise at least doing a backup.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Waddle:
I know that almost everyone has the Ics boot animation. However, after messing with the boot animations on my phone while experimenting. This is just the normal Ics boot animation in a cwm zip. I have used this many times after trying out other animations, and not having the foresight to make a back up, when I didn't like it.

So enjoy.

[HTC Inspire 4G] OverCaffeinatedHobo:
Has anyone else had problems like this? I'm running nightly 260. I went back to CM 7.1 stable to see if the bug existed in there and it didn't, the battery drain on that rom was pretty bad for me. So I changed back. I tested all then nightlies back to 255 and they also had this glitch. Anyone else experienced this? :confused:
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
Nightlies are never guaranteed to be completely stable. If you want better battery life try changing kernels, installing uv scripts and or use a different radio. These three things greatly contribute to battery life.
[HTC Inspire 4G] khmerfunan:
I use nightlies 260 since it came out never any problem beside the launcher fc from time to time still running it now still.Try redownloading and reflashing that might. Help
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
There was a graphical error like this with the beweather app with Absolution (CM based rom) but has been fixed since their latest release. If you really want to use CM ROMs, give Absolution a try. Like Gizmoe said, the nightlies are never guaranteed a stable bet.

[Nook Color Android Development] les02jen17:
Hey Racks. It says on your post that this dualboot is for the sdcard. How about for eMMC? Any chance for that? Thanks and awesome work, man. :D
[Nook Color Android Development] fattire:
quick hints

volup+voldown together during boot should get you to the altboot automatically without having to go through any menu. (Not that I don't love the menu!)

Nook Color Tweaks should allow you to set a default boot configuration.
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Huh, didn't know that?! :eek:

I've edited my OP with you're tip. :)

Fattire always the gentleman and always willing to lend a helping hand to make our lives that much easier. :D

Hats off to you sir for all that you've done for us NookPeeps!

[Nook Color Android Development] mtr33:
Wow, great timing racks :) I was just looking for a way to experiment with CM9 without losing CM7. This saves me having to switch cards (which I would invariably lose altogether). I guess it only works with your prepped CM7/9 builds though? Not that it matters, just making sure I understand correctly.
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
This is a prepped .img file with CM7/CM9 on it. If there are any updates. Only use the .zips from this thread because not only CWM Recovery has been modded to work only with the dualboot card. The zips itself needs to be modified to flash correctly. As well as modified ramdisk, fstab.... etc. to boot and work correctly with the DualbootSDcard.

But you could always use TitaniumBackup and backup all your apps and restore it to the Dualboot card if you wished. It should work. Haven't tried it myself though.

Good luck!

Should the gapps be included as part of the SD image? When I attempt to install update from SD, I am getting a No files found. message.

Thanks for this image. This is awesome!

Thanks Rack, I'll give it a try soon.

Is CM9 the prebuilt one or your own compiled?

P.S: Thanks for posting on G+. Don't check these forums much :D

[Nook Color Android Development] smarcin:
I bet I was one of the first to download your ROMS at a little after 10 last night. My husband is probably mad at you and me, since I played with my NC until after 2 am!

This is SO COOL! This takes me back to my first experience with Android, which was running Donut from an SD card in my old HTC Touch. Your ROMS are much faster, but so is the NC.

The file installs really easily to a uSD card. I have a bunch of cl 2 and cl 4 SD cards. None of them benchmark very fast, so I used a SanDisk Cl 4 8GB card that benches at .60, using the testing method in this thread. (Note, if you are using Crystal Disk Mark to test with, use 50MB file size and the 4k QD32 test for writing.) Mirage seems way faster than the NC's 1.3 software, which I am running blocking OTA updates.

I downloaded a bunch of the apps I use on my 3D EVO. I didn't try the Titanium Backup thing, as I doubt the app data would work from my phone, which is running a rooted Stock (Sense) ROM.

It took me a minute to figure out how the changing of selections worked in recovery. Maybe it's standard for CWM, but I haven't ever run it, preferring Amon_RA and then TWERP. Use volume up and down keys to move up and down the list. Then hit the home key (Nook button) to change your selections.

I forgot to mention, though I did flash both gapps zips, (from recovery), at least on Mirage, I had to download Maps, GMail and others from the Market. I'm not sure if I missed a step or something.

I have run CM on my OG EVO, as well as my 3D EVO. I like it very much, but I also like some of the widgets in Sense. I'll have to get a calendar widget for my NC. I am using GOWeather for a weather and digital clock widget.

I have already thanked you on your first post, racks, but I thank you again. I hate to sound piggy, but is there any chance you could make up a zip that includes Miui? It's not my favorite ROM, and there are problems with the Market on the NC. But it would be fun to be able to switch back and forth and show it off to my friends that run Miui on their phones. :D
[Nook Color Android Development] bobshute:
OK...I installed and everything is perfect. Thanks Racks

I previously had cm7 and cm9 (both latest nightlies)on two separate SDcards. Because of this, and that fact I didn't want a lot of duplicate files, I had all my media and Titanium Backup directories (cm7 and cm9 with different dir names)on my internal sdcard. My emmc is stock un-rooted NC 1.4.1.

So I burned the img on a SanDisk 8GB cl4 SDcard, expanded the sdcard partition and followed the install proceedures. When complete I downloaded Titainium Backup from the market, pointed it to the correct backup, and restored all my apps for each OS.

All worked great...
[Nook Color Android Development] AidenM:
Cool.

Also, if I flash CWM from ROM Manager in one of the sd roms it will still flash to the emmc right?

Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Hahaha, awesome. This is why I try to contribute what I can to this community. It's comments like these that makes it all worth while. :D Oh and I might (might being the keyword) prep an MIUI update zip for the dualboot card. It will probably replace the primary boot though. No ETA's yet. :)

Thank you sir for confirming that backing up and restoring with Titanium Backup worked without a hitch!

Yeah, I wouldn't do that though. I have no idea what will happen. :eek: But most likely it would just flash to emmc boot. Let me know what happens if you do happen to be brave and do so. :)
[Nook Color Android Development] AidenM:
Ok. trying it now.

P.S Can i have your address? I'll give you a visit if it doesn't work :p

lol j/k thanks!

Edit

OK just flashed it and it booted!
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Ok, so I guess you just flashed CWM Recovery to your EMMC then. Can you try booting to the uRecImg/uRecRam off the SDboot just to make sure it didn't replace the modded one I had there?

Thanks!

[Nook Color Android Development] les02jen17:
racks... is it possible to have dual boot in the emmc?

Tapatalkin' it from my rooted NookColor running CM7 MiRaGe [KANG] [7.2 RC] overclocked @ 1.2 GHz
[Nook Color Android Development] AidenM:
Yeps it booted fine.
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
It is possible, but someone has to prep the .zips to flash to the correct partitions. If someone wants to take a crack at it. Just download one of the .zips from rookie1's thread here. And take a look at the edify script, you would also need to modify the uRamdisk so it boots the correct /system as well.

Don't have time for that at the moment. Working on something else with another dev for you great people! :D

[Nook Color Android Development] shumash:
Forget it. Reflashed gapps, went away.
[Nook Color Android Development] AngelWings8:
I haven't updated either CM7 or CM9 in awhile, and I was wondering if it'd be safe to use the 2/13 CM9 and the 2/2 CM7 flashable zips (basically...do I need to update with the 2/2 CM9 file before using the 2/13 CM9 file?)

Also, I know that in your second post you say to "remember to flash gapps", but where is that file? I only see the "gapps-ics-calendar-email-tts-fix-DualbootSD.zip" one.

Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Yeah, you could flash the latest update without flashing previous ones. The gapps should have been included with your dualbootsd image on the /sdcard partition. I'll repost them in a little while for anyone that has deleted them by accident.

Thanks,

Has anyone figured out a way to expand the /data partitions on this card to be higher than 625MB? I'd love for it to be 2GB. There was a rumble earlier on the thread but a how-to, but it never materialized.
[Nook Color Android Development] jdebay:
General how to do it...

I used linux rescue cd with gparted to do it.

Boot linux rescue cd

start gparted

Make sure that your sdcard is in a card reader.

select that drive

If sd card is larger than 4gb, then do the following.

I move and resized sdcard to end of 8gb sdcard (I made it 3gb) this last partition,

MAKE SURE THAT THE lda FLAG IS SET or you will not see partition from windows.

I then move and resized partition 6 to 1gb. (data2 for ICS)

I then move and resized partition 5 to fill the space. (system2 for ICS)

I hope that this helps. Others have used Gpart Linux Live to do it.

EaseUS Partition home does not understand how to work with Linux partitions, so you can not use it, only to make sdcard area the last partition larger.

I have not use MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition to do it.

J
[Nook Color Android Development] AngelWings8:
Hehe yep...that would've been me...:o

Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] bretzke:
Thanks!

I've tried to use both EaseUS Partition and MiniTool based on what others said. Indeed I can only adjust the FAT32 part (/sdcard partition). I thought I was going crazy!

Dave

UPDATE: I was able to find a bootable GParted CD iso that I was able to use in a VirtualBox of Ubuntu. Partitioned to 1GB system, 1GB cache, 4GB data and the rest SD. Worked like a charm. Thanks again!
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
Can the onskreen zip be flashed to the emmc like a normal rom?
[Nook Color Android Development] neversaynever:
Excellent work, it installed both the ROMS in no time.

However, in ICS I can't get Market to download any app. Internet is working fine, I can browse and see all the apps in Market, but when I choose to download, it says "xxxxx app could not be downloaded due to an error."

Googling didn't help and I'm not using any proxy.

Market version is 3.1.3

EDIT : It worked after I manually downloaded and installed the 3.4.4 apk and then had to remove my Google account and add it again.
[Nook Color Android Development] smarcin:
Would it be possible to do a triple boot for a 16GB card? Or would that work? CM7, ICS, and Miui. Thanks for whatever you come up with, Racks!
[Nook Color Android Development] adamdelozier:
Loving this! taking a break from Nightlies! Spend more time tweaking than using...this way, I wont be flashing every day!! Everything installed perfectly and is working great!
[Nook Color Android Development] ahfo:
I'm now using a 16g card, triple boot works fine,

the dualboot img in this thread doesn't do anything to your emmc, no matter what rom you've flashed in it.

So go ahead flash miui to emmc and burn the dualboot img to your sdcard, and you'll have all of them. use nook tweaks to change the boot order.
[Nook Color Android Development] onedementedsmurf:
Any one else experienced this?

I have been trying for the past 30+ minutes to connect to my wifi in ICS which shows as having "Excellent" signal strength and it says connecting.... then just changes to saying the info was saved but doesn't ever connect. CM7 and Stock give me no problems at all to connect...
[Nook Color Android Development] adamdelozier:
Try restarting your router.
[Nook Color Android Development] onedementedsmurf:
Tried that and still getting the same results, when I originally burned the image on the SD card it took a few tries to get it connected but now it just seems to refuse connecting to it. It just seems odd that only the CM9 partition won't connect.
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Hello all,

Just FYI, old news I know, but I made front page of XDA. :D

And now I have a v2 for the ICS CM9 with Cornerstone by OnSkreen baked in! So go ahead and flash this to play around with.

-Fixed display of Phone UI, now correctly displays Tablet UI

-Second CSPanel now displays TitleBar and App Drawer icon correctly

-The App Drawer button in the CSPanels are tricky. You have to tap it correctly to read touch input. Maybe something we'll look at as well.

-Wifi is real messed up, connects, but doesn't show that it's connected. Sometimes needs a reboot to connect to anything at all.

-You can browse the web, sign into market. But can't download anything from market. Gives -101 error.

-Working on trying to figure out the wifi issue. Something in framework that Cornerstone merged in is breaking the wifi:x

-Again, this is test, beta, alpha!! Flash at your own peril!

-Check second post of OP for download and instructions. :)

-Lastly, enjoy multi-tasking on your Nook Color! :D

Thanks,

Racks
[Nook Color Android Development] jdebay:
thanks for the update on Cornerstone v2

It does loose wifi connection. Also next version. Just a suggestion bake in but not started until, we make sure everything else is working... I had to stop it and then see if other stuff worked. Then restarted with apps that I wanted. If you must sign into app it is just to hard. Also calendar keeps stopping even with fix applied.

[Nook Color Android Development] yelloguy:
Very impressed

I tried this on my SD Card last night and I am very impressed so far. I had tried the sneak peek 2 and one of sam's nightlies on the same sd card but after the novelty wore off I had issues with them. But this one is a daily driver now. Unless I see an SOD, that is. :-)

The Kindle issue is annoying but I found in discussions that version 2.0.5 works without switching to Tablet mode so I will install it tonight for my weekend reading on ICS. The only other issue I have noticed is that the screen is more sensitive to touch and things start moving early on so long holds don't really work well. On the other hand, some touches don't register so I don't really know what is going on.

But the Google Reader and the ICS Browser more than make up for these shortcomings. I don't really care for the Onskreen stuff so I am happy with the base image. I tried installing the 2/2 update but the boot partition was smaller than the update file so I gave up. My CM7 usage is mostly for web browsing (Dolphin) and Google Reader app for some feeds. And the Kindle app for my Economist subscription. This should be able to replace CM7 (emmc) install now. If it does, I will probably put stock on the emmc.

Thanks for the hard work guys. Much appreciated!

Has the tailored CWMR been fixed for the extra partitions?

I'd like to be able to do backups.
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Sorry haven't had a chance to yet. :(
[Nook Color Android Development] smarcin:
I know I can do that. What I want to do is leave the stock NC on emmc, and have 3 ROMS on a 16GB card, if this is possible, Racks? Or would it be possible to set it up so we can flash 3 ROMS to the uSD card and we choose which 3 and where to install them? Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] debarron:
I found that changing the adhoc value to 0 in the ini file under /system/etc/wifi fixed being able to get my son's NC to connect my router. It would connect to the wifi hotspot on my phone but not my router before changing that. CM7 would connect fine because I believe it was set to 0 there and ICS on my TP connects fine as well.
[Nook Color Android Development] onedementedsmurf:
Eff yes!!! It was a hassle and a half to get it done but well worth it! I'm very glad at this point that I can work the terminal emulator lol :D

Thanks,

Racks
[Nook Color Android Development] BobbyBest:
Dude, you cannot download the MIUI ROM without premium account from 4shared :(

Any mirrors upcoming?

EDIT: my bad! A free registration is sufficient.
[Nook Color Android Development] Taosaur:
What I could use are zips for moving CM7/9 from primary to secondary partitions on EMMC, and vice versa. There are several such zips for stock, but none that I have found for CM. Make a set for each of this build's SD partition sets, too, and we non-coders can update, back up, and restore our builds without any need for doctored update zips or custom CWM (though you would need to be willing to temporarily remove whatever's on the primary EMMC partitions).

Here's an example of a set for managing two stock builds on EMMC:

I don't know what these zips do in terms of renaming boot files or changing init.rc, but I could not get CM7 or CM9 to boot from Alt with these.

While I'm more interested in an internal dualboot, the same strategy could be applied to this SD build by making a similar pair for each SD partition:

copySDPri2Pri

copyPri2SDPri

copySDAlt2Pri

copyPri2SDAlt

That way, users could update, back up and restore using standard CM zips and CWM functionality, wouldn't need to be spoonfed altered zips, and wouldn't be left in the cold when no one felt like doctoring CM updates anymore.

Granted, I have no idea how trivial/challenging it is to make such files :D
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Hi Taosaur,

I think I know what you mean :confused: ... :D

-So you want a zip that can move secondary boot to primary boot on emmc and vice versa?

-This way you can use a normal CWM Recovery to backup either primary or secondary boot by moving them around for the standard CWM Recovery to read the correct partitions for backup. /mmcblk0p5 & /mmcblk0p6

-One thing I'm confused about is that I didn't know that "rookie1's" prep-dualboot.zip created an 11th partition for the secondary boot? I don't think it does?

-Please clarify on above points.

-Also since I don't have my own personal nook anymore, I don't think my wife or kids will want me messing with their eMMC just for testing purposes :p

-But after above points are clarified. I'll try to put together the .zips when I have a minute. But you'll have to be the guinea pig to test out if it works or not. :eek:

-You know the usual applies... "you flash this at your own risk... dadadadada" :)

thanks,

Racks
