[Droid X General] m16-maniac:
yea i know, that is why i asked for stock roms

the alltel rom used to be the best stock rom for the droid-x / milestone-x when we only had froyo.

then verizon updated to Gingerbread and alltel never made another non-bloat and non-blur rom that i know about.

other people have mentioned that the milestone-x (cellular south and now cspire) have been getting updates

i would like to know if one of those updated firmwares are non-bloat and non-blur like the alltel roms were but as i stated before i want a GB rom not a Froyo

Ok, here is a question;

Instead of starting a new thread lol

I need to edit unix-friendly files (i.e. updater-scripts and xml files), what is the 'best' (see your recommended) unix-friendly text-editor for Android?

Also, would like to package the files to be flashed in CWM without leaving the Android environment (could do it in Ubuntu if I set up a dual boot but would like to do it natively in Android). SO, what is the best method of creating flashable zip files from the TF?

(This is a question for anyone who can answer not just to the OP necessarily)

P.S. If this thread is to be of any use, you will have to answer questions posted here in a timely fashion as well, otherwise impatient noobs waiting on an answer will post their question in a new thread anyways lol

The 4 hours I've been waiting on a reply to my question would have been a dealbreaker for a noob ;)

Searching.....

The problem comes up when searching for certain things.....for instance when I was trying to figure out why the Asus App Backup wasn't working. Try searching for that (without the benefit of Boolean operators) in the transformer forum. It selects every post with "Asus", every post with "App", and every post with "Backup". I used to train people on how to search for stuff in support databases, and in Microsoft Technet, so I don't consider myself a noob, and trust...I do a fair share of searching before I ever ask a question. Just sayin'...........
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebadfrog:
Use google search and add asus transformer to whatever you are looking for. I never use the search inside xda because its crap. XDA is supposed to be a developers site not product support.

I understand the frustration trying to find something but as of right now there are 3 threads on the first page of Q&A basically wanting the same info. I'm not directing this at you but about 80% of the people posting here want to be spoon fed everything. They think because they searched once and opened 1 link and the answer wasn't there that the answer can't be found. When you can open a thread and see the same question asked and answered 3 or 4 times in 10 posts (and was likely answered in the OP) you can tell people don't even read much less search. And it doesn't help the situation when some mods just ignore their own rules and continue to allow the same thing to be posted over and over or allow threads to go off topic. I tried flaming people but that got me temp banned and I tried reporting posts but that got me temp banned as well.(I reported the same thread for on going flame war and got a temp ban for reporting the same repeatedly)

XDA is either gonna clean up threads or continue to drive off devs who are tired of being tech support for n00bs who have to be spoon fed every detail. My favorite question that is asked is "If i'm coming from rom A to your rom do I need to wipe?". Take the time and make a backup and do whatever you want but in general every rom I've every flashed has asked that you wipe when coming from another rom.

Sorry.....rant over. I'm guessing this post will be edited and I will recieve some more ban points :)

EDIT: To the OP. Thanks for trying but its doomed to failure. You could sticky a post that said "This thread will answer all questions" and people would ignore it and post a new thread asking a question answered in the stickied thread

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Druas:
Specs: I had Galaxy Nexus LTE 4.0.4 w/ unlocked bootloader and root access. I have the GN toolkit if that helps.

Cause: I used the Font Installer app to change system font. I now know that not all of the fonts are working properly and emailed the developer about it. However, I am currently stuck in a boot loop after changing to one of the fonts.

I would prefer to not lose everything and if I didn't care about that, then I would just go for it and I think that I could get it working again. But since it was just a font change, I thought it might be possible to fix it without going through all of that. I am hoping I can just change some system files or something and get it to boot then select a different .tff font that I know works. THANKS!

If I reload the 4.04 update.zip that I still can access, will that wipe everything/will I have to re-setup a bunch of things? Is it OK to clear cache partition and Dalvik Cache? Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
Did you take a nandroid backup of this ROM at any point? If so, you could do an advanced restore of system only.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Druas:
No, unfortunately I did not, but I will look into that once I am back up and running.

**EDIT: I have CWM Recovery v5.5.0.4 running now. Is it possible to do a backup at THIS point in time and then restore everything but system?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
Okay. In that case, flashing the ROM's update.zip should work and shouldn't wipe your data. Best to take a nandroid backup first, just in case of trouble.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Druas:
Ok I made the backup first. When I try to load the update.zip though, it says, "assert failed: appy_patch_check("/system/fonts/Roboto-Regular.ttf" <then a whole BUNCH of numbers and letters which I can type out if they will actually be helpful> "E:Error in /sdcard/Download/update.zip (Status 7) Installation aborted."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
Is that an incremental update.zip for upgrading? What you need is a zip containing the entire ROM.

Alternately use fastboot to flash system.img from the stock ROM if you were already using stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Druas:
Yeah I used: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1481044 So I need to install 4.0.2 first? Unfortunately that is the only upgrade.zip I have on my phone and I don't know how to load new ones on there without booting into Android.

What? Can you explain further? I was using stock 4.0.4
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
You can download another zip to your computer and use adb push to get it onto the GN's internal storage.

I don't have the CDMA version but here's what I am able to find. Check this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1481613

A completely stock 4.0.4 (aside from root, busybox, de-odex) from that thread is here:

http://dev-host.org/uMJ

So you download that to your computer and put it in the same folder as adb. Boot the phone into Clockwork Recovery and then plug it into your computer. (There are other guides to getting adb to work on your phone so I won't cover that here.) Run adb devices to make sure it sees your phone. In Clockwork you also have to go to mounts and storage and make sure /data is mounted.

Then:

adb push GalaxyNexusCDMA-4.0.4-StockRootedNoRadio.zip /sdcard/stock.zip

Subsequently in Clockwork, you will be able to find that stock.zip in the list of zips you can apply. After applying that zip, any damage caused by messing with the fonts should be reverted.

---- or ----

The alternative would be to download the factory 4.0.2 image from here:

https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/mysid-icl53f-factory-65895fa8.tgz

Inside that archive is a system.img file which you can flash to the phone by fastboot over USB. Immediately afterwards, you would then boot into CWM and apply the incremental update.zip you already have on there. This will take you to stock 4.0.4 unrooted and hopefully bootable!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Druas:
While your instructions were good, I tried some things on my own about 20 min before you made that post and screwed up and erased userdata. So, I cannot say for sure if it would have worked, but I bet it would have and I wish I had been more patient.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
Sorry to hear. Is it bootable now at least?

The userdata erase problem is why I now have to remember in every phone recovery situation - adb pull the entire contents of internal storage from within CWM before doing anything risky.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Druas:
Yeah the phone has booted, I just have to spend some time recovering what I can. I will hopefully make better backups for the future. At least I learned some stuff. I still can't believe this was all caused by changing a FONT in a program designed to change fonts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
Right, well this font changer program edits the system partition of your phone, which makes it risky. In the future, the best course of action with any "risky" change is:

- Take a nandroid backup first.

- Copy the nandroid backup out of the phone (it's in a subfolder of clockworkmod on internal storage).

- If you are doing anything that leads you to fear that the whole internal storage could get blanked, copy all of that out of the phone too.

- Now if you can't boot, you can selectively restore the system partition or the whole thing to try and fix it.

- And now if your internal storage gets blanked, your backup is safe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Druas:
Yeah I had no idea that there was a significant risk involved, otherwise I would have been more cautious. Some questions I have:

-With Titanium Backup, the only thing I need to be running batch backups of is all user apps + system data correct? And only restore apps not system data unless I am on the exact same ROM as before?

-Again with TB, is there stuff it consistently misses that I should backup manually?

-I always launched CWM Recovery through the GN toolkit using "6. Flash CWM Recovery, Standard." And sometimes I would select Recovery from the Fastboot menu and it would be back at the regular recovery. Is there a different way I should have been going about getting to the nandroid backup?

-I have now installed ROM Manager and hit "Flash CWM Recovery" and I have a nandroid backup when I reboot into recovery. Does this mean any time I choose Recovery from the Fastboot menu that it will boot into CWM Recovery?

Thanks again for all your help and advice!

Was thinking about getting the Gnex but I might just have to hold out for this sprint version of the htc one x. The Gnex camera is dissapointing and also the build quality isn't very impressive for a high end phone, damn sammys lol. Post any thoughts comments on the rumored "EVO LTE HD"

"Although details are sparse at the moment, it looks as if the device is code-named the HTC Jewel, and it has specs that are similar to the HTC One X, which is the most high-end device in the new HTC One series. In particular, the phone is rumored to have an HD 4.7-inch 1280 x 720 Super LCD2, and will be one of Sprint's premiere LTE handsets. And since the One X is an AT&T exclusive, it's likely that this device will indeed take the EVO name when it reaches Sprint, perhaps as the EVO HD or the EVOx." :cool:

The one s is sprints and the one v is verizons first phones in the one series as of now one x is only gsm according to htc and jewel is the codename of the one s if you look up the one series at htcs site

Pretty sure the codename for the OneS was the Ville.

Dunno where you got all that other info from less u were just kidding...
[EVO 4G General] AngelofChaos:
If you read the information in the link, as well as the information phonedog has, the specs of the HTC Jewel are on pair with the One X and not the One S. There was already talk at MWC that the One S was destined for T-Mobile. Just because it has the S by it, does not mean its going to Sprint.
[EVO 4G General] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Funny on htc.com the one s is cdma dunno how t-mobiles gonna use a cdma device since they are gsm the one x model only has gsm variants listed on htcs site so if there will be one on sprint its not gonna be for a while otherwise htc would list it as gsm and cdma and not just gsm only not to mention i would take what 3rd party news sites spit out of the rumor mill with a grain of salt vs what htc actually has listed as verifiable facts

Like how you said code name jewel was oneS?.....OneS was codename Ville in reality.

The OneS is listed as an HSPA handset....not cdma..

WWW.HTC.com/us/products/htcones-tmobile#techspecs

Virgin mobile OneS says the same thing too...

Also you can't infer what you see on their site now to what will or won't come to sprint. Just because its GSM doesn't mean a CDMA version won't be made and released in the near future...

Back to facts you speak about, all you were doing was speculating on the V going to Verizon and the S going to Sprint.
[EVO 4G General] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
If the s is hspa it wont work on virgin since virgin is cdma and i wasnt speculating so much as going by what google had announced last month as to the one variants and s and v being for sprint and verizon with other varianta being announced later in the year this was a few weeks before the phones were officially announced at mwc tho and after i saw the lack of removable battery and storage i quit following them if i wanted that crap id just buy and iphone

What? U said you were basing your stuff off HTC site? And that's what I linked to which clearly shows it as HSPA... As they all were listed as GSM devices...

Don't state you went off HTC.com facts when you were speculating.

Lol not u man and screw the gnex i played with a vzw version vs my et4g and the et4g felt snappier and smoother and the screen being the samoled+ on the et4g vs just samoled on the gnex was way sharper plus ics has the google experience option built in so u can choose between aosp style or twiz on the ics leaks for the et4g and apparently all ics builds have this option per googles request so y would i swap phones for what seems like a subpar version of essentially the same device :-p

I definitely would have bought the GNex 3 months ago, now, I'm not so sure. I'm afraid by the time it lands on Sprint it will already be 6 months old hardware. Smartphone tech moves fast.

I really like the One X, not crazy about white although it could easily come in other colors. The medialink is an amazing feature that I'd use a lot. However, I just can't get past Sense, I'd surely root and flash a stock AOSP as soon as possible.
[EVO 4G General] aburgthing:
Will the development community actually support a phone with no removable battery and no sd card though? I really want a new HTC phone but this will entail a lot of changing perceptions of how we mod and use our phones. Hoping against hope that the Sprint version will have these. Also these specs may become the norm with a push to the cloud so maybe we are the ones who have to change.

So I just switched from Prime to Revolution ICS. I made a nandroid before I flashed, as well as a full system+data backup in TitaniumBackup, but when I went back to try to restore TB in ICS there was nothing there. Oh, of course, I thought. I should transfer it to the external SD card so I can get at it after I flash. So I go back in and nandroid restore the Prime ROM, but it hangs on the boot screen.

Is this because ClockwordMod 3.2.0.1 skips the internal /sdcard? Did it then get wiped when I flashed to ICS? Because if so, that seems like a major flaw of which I was never warned when flashing that recovery. I tried to extract TB from my nandroid using unyaffs, but I can't find anything useful.

Any idea if I can get my old TB back?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex9090:
TB works fine. Look in the TB folder on your internal or external card wherever you have it and if files are there then it should be okay.

Did you flash prime kernel when you restored nandroid? Recovery doesn't make back up of kernel so you need to flash one after restoring backup that's why it probably hangs on boot screen.
