Yeah 4.2.2 on that device creates a 0 directory for multi-user support.

I haven't used cwm in ages much less looked at their source code, but I know last I checked out TWRP source (around the time there was a lot of confusion about the ../0 directory), it copies your /data/media (internal sdcard) to /data/media/0, ONLY IF you don't have a /data/media/0 directory at the time it makes its checks (since you did already, it did not copy the data). Don't know if cwm just generates a 0 directory.

Nonetheless, instead of rambling on about things I looked up a while ago... I'd suggest you try checking for a cwm or TWRP folder in /data/media. Since anything before the 0 directory was created will be there if stored correctly (by the recovery,because you may have an older version or something).

EDIT: and if all else fails. ODIN.
[myTouch 4G General] N_otori0us_:
lol. well I updated her phone within the stock rom. That took away the fcs. Now I swear I won't mess with her phone again. lol Samsung has way to many phones that are the same.
[myTouch 4G General] BookCase:
I have never liked the way Samsung builds phones and almost didn't buy the Galaxy S4 just for that reason. They make everything unnecessarily complicated.
[myTouch 4G General] saranhai:
BookCase are you back in town? :D

while the plastic does make Samsung devices feel cheap, it does do it' job protecting the device. my friend's dropped her GS3 many of times and if it wasn't for her plastic phone, that thing would've been totaled lol.
[myTouch 4G General] BookCase:
Not yet. And the S4 seems like the Sensation as far as, I really hope I don't drop it anytime soon.

Problem is, they never land on the plastic side, the screen usually is the first thing to hit.

But, I was referring more to the internal construction and how hard it is to work with development wise.
[myTouch 4G General] Synthetic.Nightmare:
lol yea I understand. Beats having to struggle with it more.

Yeah I still miss how solid my MT4G feels in comparison to this piece of plastic. But I think that's about it...

well I do also kind of miss being able to navigate the screen with minimal thumb movement, but that comes with the screen size.

Meh, I wouldn't put that much faith in that plastic... I've dropped my GS3 a few inches onto a lamp table and kinda chipped the plastic a little.
[myTouch 4G General] saranhai:
ah that's true, especially the exynos based Galaxy S 3 and 4...haha

at least we don't have to deal with S-Off though :D
[myTouch 4G General] BookCase:
True dat! :D

And, who don't like a challenge anyway?
[myTouch 4G General] md1008:
Even though I haven't had the mt4g I can't wait until you guys get some 4.3 roms going
[myTouch 4G General] md1008:
Before samsung started to go for thin and elegant their phones were pretty damn stable. I watched a gs2 a girl was holding knocked down by her sister fall 3 feet landed on the screen. Phone was fine no dents, cracks and touch screen worked just fine. This was with out a case. The battery did come out was the only real consequence of the fall.

I doubt gs3/gs4/note2 would survive that fall naked. Thankfully there are cases to protect the phone from such non sense lol
[myTouch 4G General] mickeyasamoah:
I would be going in for a Samsung device next month or so, Samsung galaxy nexus. Heard that phone just won't die, I mean its unbrickable lol. And it supports Ubuntu touch tooo.:D:D

And not to talk about development lol, there is always something new going on in their development section. Just can't wait.:cool:

Edit: ooh and android 4.3 is being pushed to it via software update. How awesome.
[myTouch 4G General] BookCase:
I think every phone since the G1 is unbrickable, honestly. I wonder how people manage to brick these things.
[myTouch 4G General] mymeatb18:
Yeah I love how the nexus devices remain under official development for such a long time. I'm waiting for that nexus 5 dun.
[myTouch 4G General] I2IEAILiiTY:
Any of you guys know how to compile from source and do cherry picks and such?

I'd like to learn how to create my own ROMs for personal use, a solid guide to use for reference would be great.
[myTouch 4G General] mymeatb18:
I've been wondering the same for quite some time, hard to find help though.
[myTouch 4G General] N_otori0us_:
I don't know much but I could port some Roms. It took a while to learn, and I annoyed lots of people along the way lol. But all the guides we have on xda don't work properly. Its cause they tell Us to replace everything, when all you really need to do is replace a couple important glacier specific files. And creating port is easy but getting it to turn on is not. Then then if it turns on there maybe things that aren't working like wifi so yeah lol.
[myTouch 4G General] Synthetic.Nightmare:
http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html

Best place to start. Should be pretty easy to get a working vanilla build if you still have an n4 since its in aosp.

Once you get your first build running and you have an idea of what features you want to add, bugs included, etc., from there you can decide which aspects of development you want to focus on.

I can try answering whatever questions you have to the best of my ability.

Because android development not so cut and dry. Most guides should really only be seen as "starting points" rather than "this is how its done always"
[myTouch 4G General] I2IEAILiiTY:
There's nothing to port to a Nexus device lol

Was hoping you'd stop by, thanks bro

What Linux version should I install?
[myTouch 4G General] Synthetic.Nightmare:
I'm running ubuntu 12.04 just out of setup simplicity (and because my previous installation didn't want to compile 4.2.2 for some reason).
[myTouch 4G General] mickeyasamoah:
Hey, i have an idea. Why don't we create a thread where guide would be given to those who are intersted on how to port roms, build them from source or anything that has to do with development.

As always just a suggestion. But think of it it would have been great cause i think there are lots and lots of people who would gladly learn these things. And by so doing, there would be lots and lots of roms and development in this forum again.:D
[myTouch 4G General] mymeatb18:
Or mint is good also I think its based off of ubuntu but the UI is more Windows user friendly

Got it on my wifes netbook that was horrific on w7

Fried the hd on my computer so def gonna do a dual boot when I get a new hd

What i want to know is how to make updater scripts for ROMs, you know basic ones would do maybe i would learn about aroma later, but for now, i want to know how to edit or make an updater script so that i Dont get any errors when flashing.

So anyone?
[myTouch 4G General] siloner:
My pops lost the MT4G I gave him after upgrading :( I learned everything I know on that thing
[myTouch 4G General] Orical:
Everything I learned from the MT4G was a good start for the higher end devices but these are more involved to work on as the system is so much bigger than before. I've compiled a couple but nothing I wanted to put on the forum but having everything set up right from the beginning is a big help, having to find libs your missing in the process is a pain in the ass.

How's that camera apk also u don't NEED 16 GB of ram u can do it with 8 there are people that do it with less
[myTouch 4G General] I2IEAILiiTY:

While we are on the topic of computers. Does anyone know why I can't flash zips that I copy from my linux laptop? I get the error saying its a bad zip file.
[myTouch 4G General] I2IEAILiiTY:

Is the LG Optimus L9 a good phone? I'm trying to see the consensus before I buy it. I'm deciding whether to give my Sensation to my cousin that lives in D.R. and get the L9 for myself, or keep the Sensation and give him the L9.
[myTouch 4G General] saranhai:
is ANY LG phone good?
[myTouch 4G General] mymeatb18:
I would not get the l9, n4 is much better and same price or cheaper.

Optimus g and nexus 4 one in the same. Next nexus 5 and LG g2 also

Very good phones made by LG. the LG g2 is coming out on the 1st of august or September
[myTouch 4G General] N_otori0us_:
I think the Nexus 4 was LG?

I don't think the N5 will come wont come out until 2014 :(

I would probably buy it :)
[myTouch 4G General] mymeatb18:
not from all the articles I've been reading all rumors of course but supposedly they will announce it in October along with 5.0

I'm waiting to get that
[myTouch 4G General] estallings15:
Trolls have to pay the toll.
[myTouch 4G General] BookCase:
I believe LG is considered "low end" like Bravio is to Sony. Actually, the guy at my local T-Mobile store agreed with me. When I bought a MT4G Slide, made by HTC, LG had made their own version of that phone. Was not nearly as nice as HTC's.
[myTouch 4G General] DJ Scooby Doo:
Thanks all for your replies. I am buying that LG Optimus L9 though. I'm thinking I'm going to use it as my daily driver and give my Sensation to my cousin. That battery life is calling my name. Every review and people from XDA are telling me with heavy usage, it STILL keeps going.
[myTouch 4G General] mymeatb18:
Yeah of course ur talking about the past but LG has come up big time within the last year or so. They are getting there **** together.

Good luck with that l9, sensation is a nice phone but a pain in the ass.
[myTouch 4G General] N_otori0us_:

[myTouch 4G General] I2IEAILiiTY:
I got decent battery life out of my Nexus yesterday - was off the charger for about 15 hours and I had almost 5 hours of screen on time. I'm still on 4.2.2 though.
[myTouch 4G General] THEindian:
I am pissed at my nexus right now, whatever i do, i can't flash 4.3. Even the stock image!
[myTouch 4G General] I2IEAILiiTY:
Since when did you have a Nexus 4? I thought you were holding out for a newer device

I haven't tried to flash 4.3, but I do have Jarjar's 4.3 build and Rasbeanjelly 4.3 on my phone's storage. Might flash them tonight...

There's also some s4 mod or something you can flash that somehow adds the bionic/krait optimizations onto 4.3 - apparently it works
[myTouch 4G General] THEindian:
Yeah, i got the nexus a couple months ago as a birthday gift.

I had to go back to stock 4.2.2 and then update via the OTA to get 4.3 :P. I have 4.3 now, but its wasn't a fun road.

I was thinking of getting cm 10.2, that looks pretty good.
[myTouch 4G General] saranhai:

Does anyone gameshare bo2 dlc for ps3? Reason being, this guy is my clan tried to give it but it was region locked so the download was useless

Just wondering..
[myTouch 4G General] md1008:
I think T-Mobile killed the mytouch brand. Then again having LG and then Huaweii making them instead of HTC was kinda asking for it. When the mt4g first came out it was competing against the iPhone 4 now mytouch brand is a joke
[myTouch 4G General] I2IEAILiiTY:
Why did you have to do that? Everyone else was just flashing away. Simms didn't even wipe his phone before flashing Rasbeanjelly 4.3. He flashed it on top of Rasbeanjelly 4.2.2

---------- Post added at 07:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 PM ----------

Why would it be region locked if Sony's all anti-region lock for the PS4?
[myTouch 4G General] N_otori0us_:
I dunno I think it's locked by Activision.

Cause I have a blus disc and my friends got a Bles disc.

[myTouch 4G General] THEindian:

[myTouch 4G General] mickeyasamoah:
Guys i just installed Ubuntu 12 since i heard ubuntu is the best environment for android development.

If anyone is interested in helping me out, i would like to know how to port using ubuntu.

And i was wondering why ubuntu fills thier OS with Lost of Graphics and 3d. After installation, it slowed down the pc although it was working, so i had to install Lxde and now its as smooth as Win Xp.:D
[myTouch 4G General] BookCase:
Amen.
[myTouch 4G General] N_otori0us_:
I port using windows. To build from source you need Linux. Which I know nothing about lol
[myTouch 4G General] mymeatb18:
Exactly why I didn't like Ubuntu made any computer I put it on super laggy.

Well on another note I am retiring the mt4g and picking up my wife's sensation until the nexus 5 comes out. Got her a xperia z today for her bday. But I have no business in the sensation forums so I'm staying around here still gonna mess with the mt4g a little.

[myTouch 4G General] mickeyasamoah:
Okay if you could give me what i need to do when porting, which files to change, which to copy..... you know those stuff, i would be very happy and i still have windows, i have both of them on differecnt partitions so dont worry about that.;)
[myTouch 4G General] N_otori0us_:
Basically here's how I learned. There's a couple guides here on xda so just follow them. Try going unto chef central because I think there's a guide there. If your port doesn't boot up then send log cat to someone. And then you'll find out what files to replace.

[myTouch 4G General] I2IEAILiiTY:
Not really sure why so many Nexus 4 users are complaining about 4.3 cause I'm loving it right now. My battery has definitely improved (though there was a slight road bump with mediaserver not letting my phone sleep - I think it was the Google play music app) and everything is super smooth w/ default kernel + s4 optimizations
[myTouch 4G General] estallings15:
+1

I noticed an overall increase in smoothness. I can't wait to see what kind of optimizations the devs make.
[myTouch 4G General] mymeatb18:
Cm10.2 running pretty smooth on my gtab2 also slightly better battery life here too.

How is CyanogenMod run on the n4?
[myTouch 4G General] I2IEAILiiTY:
I dunno. I have never tried CM on my N4
[myTouch 4G General] mymeatb18:
Anybody see that new motox phone? Looks pretty nice and seems that it will start at $200. Has similar specs to the n4 but with 10mp camera. Still wanna see what the next nexus will be like.
[myTouch 4G General] DJ Scooby Doo:
$200 seems too good to be true. I'd say maybe around $300. Nexus phones don't go below $200 I believe.
[myTouch 4G General] saranhai:
$200 on contract probably? lol
[myTouch 4G General] I2IEAILiiTY:
Yea, $199 with a 2-year contract.

There's supposed to be a google play edition of it coming soon. If it costs more than the Nexus 4, it's a ripoff.
