And every upgrade I'm flashing to update.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EShow:
I'm interested in flashing a custom ROM on my Thunderbolt, but am not a big fan of Sense.

I know there are a few out there, but it looks like a lot of them are currently not maintained.

Any suggestions?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
Bully desensed would be my suggestion to you. It's a great Rom and is smooth and fast.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donnyp1:
Bully is fantastic

Thunderstick Bare Back.

NOTE TO OP: Mature, working ROMS do not need to be updated. Updates are to fix problems or to include newer base RUUs. No problems, no newer stock ROM = no updates.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leoingle:
i been running the Plan 9 over on the BAMF site for about a week and i am real impressed with it. Give it a shot.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
That is not true. There are several mature roms here that have their issues. Plus no rom is going to be perfect.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xs11e:
It IS true, that's why "several mature roms here" keep receiving updates.

Developers aren't going to waste time updating a ROM that doesn't need updating.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
Name one of the mature roms that received an update recently and has no issues.
[Desire General] Casi92:
I already have, root, s-off and tried some roms.

Unfortunately, I redid the partitions but bad and the phone continues to freeze,

to fix them I connect the sd to the computer with the recovery, and then i start gpartedlive, but I can not see the partitions ext, I only see fat32, so I can not fix them, how do I bring back as if sd new?

I need the adapter, or connect it via the recovery goes well?

i'm sorry for my really bad english LoL
[Desire General] dethrat:
You need adapter connecting via recovery only mounts the fat32 partition
[Desire General] Kremlin987:
Turn off your phone and remove the back panel, battery, and slide out your SD card.

Use a USB->microSD adapter/card reader to connect it to your computer, as connecting the phone in recovery will still only mount the FAT32 partition. Boot gParted.

You should now be able to mount both partitions. I recommend using the LiveCD to copy files from the ext and FAT32 partitions to a backup location on your computer or another drive, before wiping the SD card and recreating the partition structure in gParted. Then you can copy the files back on to the SD card with the new partition structure without data loss.
[Desire General] Casi92:
thank you so much, i'm going to buy an adapter :D
[Desire General] Hoochie_Coochie:
Or if you're not worried about data loss on all partitions ie ext partition, then you could copy files from fat partition to computer then use 4ext recovery to partition the card

The Goal: To create a CWM flash-able .zip that will convert a BML formatted phone to MTD without the need to be included in a rom, creating a standard and simplicity for end-users.

RDU

ROM DEVELOPERS UNITED

AS ONE

CWM BML to MTD Conversion Utility​

Supported ROMs:

- Any BML Setup

So here's how it works:

This file will convert your phone's kernel and boot recovery to MTD. Afterwards, you will be able to flash an MTD rom.

ALWAYS make a backup of your data before flashing anything.

If you flash this over an already MTD rom, it will simply abort.

The Latest Version Here. After it finishes, your phone will be stuck in a loop. Pull the battery and 3-finger back into recovery to flash an MTD rom.

UPDATE: (--/--)

Further ideas or customizations from fellow rom developers welcome.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zman519:
First

This sounds vary usefull on my firends Epics. I think it will speed thing up for me :-) at times depending what they want

Sent from the Drivers Seat of my Suby txting and Driving doing 100MPH+ in a school zone! Ha.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Please note, this is a test version. :D

It's based on a version I used myself, but being on MTD, I can't test it easily.

There are 3 current scenarios it could yield:

1. Nothing happens.

2. It works perfectly.

3. It works, but puts the phone into a bootloop. This is what the old version did to me... Pop the battery. Boot into recovery. Profit.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
So this would theoretically convert a BML ROM to MTD on a person's phone. Sounds great.

As a note to all remember as always to back up before flashing ANYTHING.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Right now it should format your phone and prep it for a Rom. If it works properly, I'd like to rewrite it to convert and PRESERVE a BML Rom into an MTD Rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zman519:
I understand ;-)

If my budy ever gets a new sdcard, I'll use his phone as a test dumey. The worst that could happen is I have to bust out the usb cable & fire up ODIN

Sent from the Drivers Seat of my Suby txting and Driving doing 100MPH+ in a school zone! Ha.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Ok so currently no data or apps are preserved. It is mostly a blank MTD slate?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Yup. I need someone to confirm that it works properly. As I mentioned, I previously used a simpler version to convert myself to MTD and it worked, but it put me in a bootloop. I'm hoping to solve the bootloop so I can create a version to preserve a setup.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nikon120:
Well if you ran this and it put you in a boot loop, then it most likely worked properly since this would have formatted/converted your partition map to MTD. The BML rom would have either been erased or just unable to run due to the conversion.

Just a curious question here:

What would you need to do to actually convert an existing BML install to work on the MTD partition map?
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
He said that it worked right in the post you quoted... lol

And I have no diea about the question... I'm kinda curious about this too...
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Because formatting destroys the existing file structure (it doesn't actually erase files, just overwrites the data that maps out the locations of those files), everything would need to be copied to a temporary location before converting the original location to the new partition type. Then the temp data (backup) would need to be copied back to the original location using the new format.

It is not possible to just change the format while leaving the data in place - those warnings on every format command (in every computerized device - windows, mac, etc) were not a design decision, but a result of a design limitation. The backup/format/restore method is the only way.

He also said he was trying to solve the boot-loop problem, not a formatting problem. The clarification was not to assert that the formatting worked - the focus was on explaining the cause of the boot loop, to point out that there is no problem to be solved there because a BML kernel should boot loop when the rest of the partitions are freshly formatted MTD partitions.

The standard BML kernel can't read MTD, so the fact that those partitions are empty is irrelevant. Even if the partitions were converted without data loss (via a backup/convert/restore), the kernel would still need to be MTD-capable (so this by itself will not convert a BML rom to MTD)

Hopefully this clears up some of the confusion...
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
A kernel that supports MTD and copy all system, data and cache folder then paste it back after the conversion with the new kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nikon120:
Yes he did. I too read his reply.

My response to Random was that since he's put in the bootloop, then it worked for him due to the lack of converting the rom over. Therefore my reply implied that testing more won't hurt anything at all and would be good protocol, but may not be needed since it worked for him given his output.

Ahh yea, I wasn't 100% sure if this was the case. Good breakdown though. :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Doesn't seem to be working, I'll be uploading the version I use later on with directions.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
I understand the theory, prepping a 100% BML setup for it's MTD future; just out of curiosity, Q: would there be a way to reverse this process so that if you arrive at your destination MTD ROM + change your mind, would it be possible to choose to convert an MTD ROM back to BML w/out having to ODIN (md5.tar + pit...........the way we do currently)?

BTW, am looking forward to testing your proposed conversion utility, just wondering.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
All I know is that it'd need an mtd kernel. Also, maybe it could work like rfs to ext4 where it backs everything up then restores and flashes an mtd compatible kernel. Theoretically, that should work on samsung tw based roms.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Randomking, to fix the bootloop issue, try having it reboot recovery like the cm/miui mtd install scripts do (I think).
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Not possible since BML is proprietary. Odin is the only way to get this top secret partition information on our phone.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Amd4life:
Just tried the zip, and went trough the boot loop, pulled the battery, now I can't get into cwm.

I'm stuck at the Samsung boot screen

I flashed using purple 3.1.0.1 in prep for thunder hawk v5

Any ideas ? Or do I just need to Odin back to stock and start over?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Did you let it run at least two loops? You should be able to see a quick error message in the loop. Also, MTD needs you to hold the 3 finger boot longer than BML. If it refuses to work, yeah, Odin is the only way back. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] pixlz:
Hey, i understand i don't "need" this to convert to MTD(i can just choose an MTD rom that does it), but would anyone by chance be able to re-up this? it can prolly be done as an attachment, i imagine the files absurdly small.

Random's goo links stopped working a while ago, and i'm not sure where to find this one otherwise. :confused:

Are you on the 1.73.5022 or 1.82.502 ROM? I updated with the RUU here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1649658 and cant replicate the issue using Pocket Cast app from Google Play. Did you get Pocket Cast from the Amazon app store or Google Play? Pocket Cast pulled their App from Amazon so it is not up to date Version 2.8.1 on Amazon and 3.9 on Google Play.

I was using multiple apps for 30 mins and was unable to have it stop while it was in the background. Let me know how you got it to stop and I will try and see if I can replicate it.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] slickdaddy96:
Since detule has pushed in patches that require an app to overclock now instead of inserting the appropriate lines in the startup.txt file, I am looking to get a better understanding of what exactly the line in the startup.txt file did and how to achieve similar settings in an app like setCPU.

I have setCPU, and set it up to run the default program at 710MHz both the Max and the Min. I am not really interested in battery saving features of the program or anything else. I just want it to run at 710MHz all the time. I thought it pretty much did this when using the startup.txt command set to 710400.

My question is, am I correct that if I set it up setCPU that way is that mirroring what the command did or am I going to get worse battery life then I did before because the app does something different?

I know the phone still sleeps with the app set that way. What happens in sleep with both the startup.txt command or this app? Does Android knock the processor down when going into sleep by either method or both?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] detule:
Shifting only the MAX to a desired frequency achieves the same as using, what used to be, the command line method and specifying oc_freq_khz.

Shifting the MIN to match MAX will result in poorer battery life, though your phone will run constantly at the desired frequency.

When going into suspend, the driver first down-shifts the clocking frequency and then powers down ARM11 completely regardless of the OC settings.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] slickdaddy96:
So before with the oc_freq_khz it would just go shift down to 528MHz or did it go lower? I have the minimum set down to 245MHz now, hopefully I won't see too much lag with that.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] detule:
It would down-shift to 245, unless under load.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Nighthawk243:
You probably won't. The chip just goes to 245 if it is just idling. Under load, it'll snap back up to your desired frequency. It is kinda like the i7 2600K when in Turbo Core mode. It'll drop to 1.6 gh/z when doing nothing, then snap up to whatever it is set for when under load.

My settings are 787max and 122 min (This is ACL's OMGB NAND, but it'll probably be similar) and I don't notice lag in comparison to just leaving it at 787.

[HTC One S] lowandbehold:
Possibly trading my Gnex for this phone. Any former Gnex users regretting the switch? Also welcoming input from other One S users..please let me know what you think!
[HTC One S] InternationalNexusFan:
:confused: Why in the world would you do that?
[HTC One S] lowandbehold:
So you are saying keep the Nexus?
[HTC One S] InternationalNexusFan:
Yes, of course, at least not to get the HTC One S. If we were talking about the HTC One X or the S3, we can talk about it, but not for the One S no way. However, why were you even considering to switch from Gnex to One S?
[HTC One S] icecicle04:
cause the GNEX is cheap plastic . .just saying
[HTC One S] InternationalNexusFan:
OK. But I know you would regret the switch.
[HTC One S] lowandbehold:
I think you are probably right. The One S really isn't an upgrade...I am going to follow your advice and keep the Nexus.
[HTC One S] Raibyn:
Actually, in some ways, the One S is far superior to the Galaxy Nexus. The camera is much, much better. The processor in the One S is much faster. It is built better and feels more solid. On the minus side, the screen is qHD, not HD. However, I think the quality of the screen is a little better to be honest. The Galaxy Nexus has a grainy screen and off white whites, especially in low light with the screen dimmed. The One S seems to not have this problem, or has it to a much lesser degree. If you don't like Sense on the One S, you can use another launcher like Nova Launcher or root and go with an AOSP rom later. I had a Galaxy Nexus and don't really miss it to be honest.
[HTC One S] icecicle04:
I'm sure the only reason he'd regret it is cause he'd end up selling the nex paying more for an S and not really feel any change but not cause it's a ****tier phone or anything but yea it's not much of an upgrade since the GNEX is a straight phone too but you definatly wouldn't be downgrading or anything
[HTC One S] lowandbehold:
I agree with what you are saying, but as far as processor, I don't really see the big deal as the Nexus ROM'd and tweaked shows no performance issues at all. I just feel like if I got a One S I would be waiting for the first AOSP ROM out to rip sense off of it...Also, were you a fan of the 4.65 inch screen? If so, was it hard going to the 4.3? Still might do the trade, if I don't like the One S it will be easy to trade it for another Nexus.
[HTC One S] lowandbehold:
Not the case..straight trade.
[HTC One S] InternationalNexusFan:
Nexus devices have advantages that have nothing to do with hardware. To switch to a different device at a cost, there has to be more than slightly better hardware. I can think of several reasons in general, but not certainly not enough reasons for the One S.
[HTC One S] icecicle04:
if you could trade ur GNEX for a S do it cause you cold sell the S for more anyway and then buy another GNEX lol
[HTC One S] Raibyn:
I like the screen size on the Nexus for viewing videos. Otherwise, when you are in an app that shows the navigation buttons on screen, the usable area of the screen for that app on the GN is not much bigger at all than a 4.3" screen. While watching videos, though, yes, the GN has a noticeably larger screen.
