[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 475719:
Hi guys, I just got a new Note. I was able to flash CWM Recovery using odin. After this, I flashed the stock recovery and booted it up. I tried updating the software via OTA, but after it reboots trying to update, it says update failed. It fails at 24% when the android symbol comes up after booting

Please help me :(
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 475719:
no help yet??
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
I'd bet $100 you didn't reset flash counter before flashing stock recovery....
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
Agree.

U have to reset counter, flash back stock recovery.

OTA is urs. :)

Sent from N7105, at the corner of this rounded earth.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeeterpro:
Most curious. AFAIK, OTA's will fail without stock recovery.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
It seems the OTA's check for root or altered rom files, this has been my experience anyway, and if found to have been altered fails....
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] vikramkhalsa:
Awesome! Excited about this :D

So you released like 3 or 4 roms kind of around the same time.. any comment about which one is the fastest or most stable? Are you still working on/updating the other ones like tigerfusion, tigerblood, etc? I'm on GOV3.3 right now and I'm happy with it except for the reboot problem while using maps/navigation. I'm not really sure which one to try but I like the way I have everything setup so I don't want to flash anything that cant be used as a daily driver yet. Thats why I'm excited about this one because it seems to be closest to what I'm using now.

As for the changes - is it any faster or "better" than v3.3?

Many of them seem like things we can do ourselves: I also ditched lightning launcher for launcherpro or adw, and got rid of or added some of the apps I liked. Personally I don't think amazon appstore should be on the rom, whoever wants it can just downloaded it right? Also I prefer quickpic to the 3d gallery as its much faster and doesn't crash. Is this 3d gallery a different one? (most of these things were just personal preference, i don't mind changing them myself after flashing the rom)

So the main things I think are the scripts/lagfix and a few theme tweaks.. Not really sure about PMR and the OTA stuff.. can you explain that?

but overall thanks for keeping this phone alive and giving it some hope and activity!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SammaelAkuma:
Well, I didn't really do much for TigerFusion, TigerBlood, or DangerZone apart from provide the lagfix script and bounce ideas off of the creator of the roms, RicAndroid. So, this, essentially is my first custom ROM release.

The 3D Gallery is, indeed, probably the crashy one. But it's because the ICS Gallery I wanted to include wouldn't work and QuickPic, imo, strayed too far from the original Glorious Overdose, which is the look/feel I'm trying to maintain while minimizing lag and other unpleasantries. But, yes, it is encouraged to mod it after flashing to further personalize the experience, but then I can't provide as clear of support when apps are added/removed from what I've release. So it's up to the user, in the end.

As for the inclusion of Amazon AppStore, that's based on it being, imo, the second most used AppStore for Android after Google Play. I mean, I don't own any apps from Google Play but I own some on Amazon. I can't use some of them without Amazon AppStore installed and signed in. If I could import purchases from Amazon to Google Play, I wouldn't include it(Yes, it's a personal preference). Like I own SetCPU. The version in the Amazon AppStore is 2.3.0.7(iirc) and the version in Google Play is 3.0.7. Dunno why the first hasn't been updated yet, but meh.

The OTA Updater will be like any normal OTA Update, but aimed specifically for custom roms(this one most likely being the first to have it implimented, hopefully it will be the first to use it too). Meaning whenever I push an update to the OTA Updater Center Pro, it'll push a notification to you which will allow your to Download and Update or Just download and just update manually via CWM(which is what I'll recommend because I'm unsure of how the app handles CWM recovery itself atm)

PMR is a collection of tweaks/scripts that were compiled first into an AROMA package installer and then ported to an apk format. The audio engines, sadly are incompatible with this phone until someone ports the kernel of Android 4.x or higher for the SK4G. Everything else works as far as I know.

And hold on to your hat. I'm in the process of creating the update.zip and testing it myself before I upload to MediaFire and submitting it to OTA Update Center Pro's database. I'll also be keeping an updated link here for people who are uneasy about the OTA feature and for those who ODIN'd and didn't keep a copy of the one they started on to flash and then update to the newest version. So far, all that I've done is in the changelog. And no, there won't be a LITE/LEAN version. I don't feel the need to create two version of the same ROM. Besides, this is essentially GOv3.3(LEAN) with the above changes.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
Let it begin.... a new age of Sidekick cookers. THIS LOOKS HOT, MAN:D
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] powerpoint45:
Very sexy
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SammaelAkuma:
Just checked the OTA app. It downloads fine. And I think it works because I grabbed the direct link from my MediaFire upload by right clicking on the download button on the page and used that URL. Dunno if it works day after day. And I don't know how well it handles the flashing itself because I feel a manual boot into recovery and manual flashing is the safest bet. Until I or another ROM maintainer can confirm that it does the flash flawlessly, stick to a CWM restore, please.

Because the OTA Update Center also displays the version, I removed the v4.0 from the build number and only the OTA Update Center version will change. The Build Number shows Glorious Overdose now, versus the old way in the screenshots.

Either way, enjoy GOv4.0. I know I am, and I'm the one who rolled this build of Glorious Overdose out. Now I look at my phone with pride, knowing I'm using my own creation and out there, someone else is enjoying it like I am. Such a satisfying feeling.

If you have a dedicated SK4G that you wish to test the latest build of Glorious Overdose with, PM me and I will give you instructions on how to turn your GOv4.x build into a dev/tester build that will get updates long before the public one does. I have 2 testers so far. Myself and RicAndroid. I think a total of either 5 or 10 testers should be sufficient to get things rolling. For those of you who still have GOv2 or GOv3 and haven't grabbed this yet and wish to enjoy OTA goodness, wait a day or two and I should have an update.zip to give you that pleasure of updating OTA.

That's all I have for now.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] how_weird:
Can you explain in more detail what you mean about paid apps included?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SammaelAkuma:
Well, some apps, like the Gallery app(back when I could find it in the Play Store) and the Jelly Bean Keyboard cost money, but I included them because the free versions either didn't provide the functionality that I thought Glorious Overdose should have or just refused to work completely and I don't have a bank account or a credit card to purchase apps/credit from Google Play so I couldn't include my copies even if I had them.

I tried to keep the paid apps I included to a minimum. The only paid apps I can spot myself are the two I mentioned above. All the other ones are the free version because they work and provide the right amount of functionality for the ROM.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] how_weird:
You should remove them. Warez are not allowed on XDA.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SammaelAkuma:
Fair enough. I'll revert back to QuickPic and JellyBean Keyboard free. If the mods will give me time to do so before they take action, that is. I can't do that as of now because tired and late, but thanks for the heads up(honestly didn't know[don't really read rules, just try to use common sense. Guess getting frustrated that the Free JB KB didn't wanna work and I couldn't find the free version of the 3D Gallery on the Play Store got the best of me]). Those and a new battery will be in the first OTA update available(And I'll even update the OP's link to 4.0.1 for anti-warez purposes).

EDIT: Had some moron texting me about some court stuff when I hadn't gotten anything in the mail about court appearances. So, I've been up for a bit and am getting an OTA update ready/OP update link sans the new battery. It'll be live in about an hour or so.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] B.Jay:
Rule of thumb is: No downloads, not fit for the development board.

That being said... 24 hours are enough to re-pack a ROM so it doesn't contain warez anymore?

Yes? Start the clocks...
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] vikramkhalsa:
Oh sorry I meant to direct my post towards both you and RicAndroid. So RicAndroid feel free to respond to the parts which were more relevant to you.

And I'm kinda confused, is 4.0.1 live and available to download? Its there on the changelog but I don't see a link anywhere..

and thanks for switching back to quickpic!

Edit: I just saw it was on Fixing/updating.. I'll wait :)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
QuickPic is my app of choice....the Gallery is fine but it gets buggy sometimes.

This rom is sweet, BTW. The warez thing is not allowed, yeah....but there are plenty of fully functional free apps out there. Like ES File Explorer (which can be given root permissions), Touchpal keyboard (which is the best alternative to SwiftKey).

I'm currently porting the Bi-Winning Redux ICS framework...the correct way this time using GIMP with those 9.png files. It is looking beautiful so far. I will also jump on board the OTA thing this weekend.

Good stuff, dude. Keep up the fine work!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SammaelAkuma:
Well, as of now, the update is unofficial(the build.prop is the same but changed the OTA version because it's unofficial until I figure out how to get Quick Pic and Terminal emulator to work as system apps.). I can't get QuickPic to work unless I install as a user app and then move to the system apps and that only works AFTER installing it. But, yeah, gonna go update the OP with a link to the unoffical OTA Update. Those who have the warez version, just go to the OTA Updater app, check updates, hit download, and hit home and do whatever you want, but check the file on the SDCard at /sdcard/OTA-Updater/download/glorious_overdose_.zip or something similar and make sure it reaches 177MiB.

Edit: Forgot to mention, this "update", although shown as 4.0.1 isn't the final update to 4.0.1...once I figure out how to get QuickPic and Terminal Emulator to work as a System app and switch to ES File Explorer from ASTRO(Because ES allows root access and ASTRO doesn't) then the real 4.0.1 will be out. Until then, ignore the faux update notice if you already updated. That or you can change your build.prop and change it back when it is completely fixed.

Also @B.Jay I've been using 7zip to pull/add/change files is in a re-zipped GOv3.3. So, it only took a matter of minutes but I was almost passing out when I replied to how_weird about removing the warez stuff. I don't know enough about the OS to create an update.zip from scratch.

Got D4 Update.zip creator now. So, yeah. Works.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] how_weird:
Thanks for posting. When my wife leaves her phone alone and is sleeping I will flash this. Could be a day or two, she hates me messing with her phone.

How_Weird is to weird?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SammaelAkuma:
Lol. I know how it is. Just because 2 instances with my friends devices...he doesn't wanna root or jailbreak ever. I've finally convinced him to let me update his LePanII tablet to ICS and possibly root it.

At any rate, wait to grab it until later tonight or early tomorrow. Testing a possible fix for QuickPic and Terminal Emulator not wanting to work in the unofficial OTA update.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jakelov:
freakin awesome rom!

anxiously awaiting the link for 4.0.1 to rematerialize !
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SammaelAkuma:
Well, the link is back up. Oh, and just an FYI. If there are changes in the changelog here but no OTA update showing...most likely I'm getting the update ready and am showing what I have done to the update.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] vikramkhalsa:
yay! Loving it :D

Flashed this a few hours ago, finished restoring my apps and getting things set up the way i want them. Works great so far.. we'll see how it goes within the next few days :)

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SammaelAkuma:
No problem. Hopefully I don't get fed up trying to find a way to update the su binary along with ROM releases and just say that users should update it on their own. Getting close, though.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shadowscott:
So first time ROM flasher here... flashed your rom, but I dont see any splash screen on the boot like you have in the first post. Also, when I open the messaging app, my messages show but if I close out, they dont re-appear and it's just a black screen with messaging listed at the top. Cant change volume or anything. I restored all my messages so there are a lot of messages, but it doesnt seem to make a difference if I let them load.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SammaelAkuma:
Did you wipe user data from CWM? That may be a brunt of the issues if you didn't do so. And as far as not getting the boot animation, idk. Try wiping the user data from CWM and reflash it again(just to be sure) and get back to me with the results. This is highly puzzling.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shadowscott:
I did wipe from CWM, though it said something about--

Formatting /data...

Formatting /cache...

Formatting /sd-ext...

E: Format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2

Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...

And then it froze on formatting, so i pulled the battery and then continued with the flashing. Maybe that's why? I don't really know why that would mess it up though.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SammaelAkuma:
Hm. The line that bothers me is "E: Format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2". Okay. Go into mounts on CWM and make sure every option say unmount *. Then go to voodoo in the main menu of CWM and hit both options that start with the word enable. Then flash one final time. That line leads me to believe either your mounts aren't set correctly or you don't have voodoo lagfix enabled(assuming you're using the Red CWM after flashing the ROM and not the Orange CWM)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shadowscott:
I actually have Orange CWM. No idea how to get red. But I followed your instructions with the mounts which were:

UNMOUNT CACHE

MOUNT DATA

MOUNT SDCARD

UNMOUNT SYSTEM

originally, and then after the flash i changed them to:

UNMOUNT CACHE

MOUNT DATA

UNMOUNT SDCARD

UNMOUNT SYSTEM

I don't even know if my CWM is correct, honestly. I have some update.zip in my SD card and when I reboot I have to reinstall packages in order to book into CWM
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SammaelAkuma:
You should be set to flash the custom rom then. Just go to install zip from sdcard and find it on your sdcard, hit yes and let it boot. This first time should take ages. After a while your phone will talk. Don't panic, that's just the Red CWM and the voodoo lag fix being set.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shadowscott:
GO4 installs red CWM?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SammaelAkuma:
Actually, it's the Bali kernel that is included that installs it. And then no more reinstalling packages to boot into CWM.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shadowscott:
Oh, well when I was in the ROM I went to kernel and I only saw numbers, not Bali.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SammaelAkuma:
Hm. Weird. The about screen in the settings app should reflect the screenshot I posted in the first post. So, is your phone speaking at random intervals? Like "System conversion, backup operation. Estimated time....2 minutes."? If so, you're doing good.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shadowscott:
I never heard my phone speak at all during the flash.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SammaelAkuma:
Hm...odd. Only other idea I have is to go grab the latest Bali Kernel with the keylogger removed, flash that, reboot completely, reboot into recovery, and then flash the ROM.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shadowscott:
Is that necessary to do first? I will try flashing again once my phone charges. But IDK if I will have much more luck.

Messaging app seemed to work fine in settings until I restored all my text messages. Could that have messed it up? But still doesnt explain not having red CWM or Bali Kernel
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SammaelAkuma:
Hm. If your phone wasn't fully charged, that could be the issue. It's always recommended to have 50% or higher before flashing. To be safe, I recommend a complete charge before flashing. So, yeah, try after you get the full charge. Make sure your mounts are like before and wipe user data as well before flashing.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shadowscott:
It was fully charged before, mounts were the way I mentioned, and i wiped data, cache, and dalvik
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SammaelAkuma:
This is extremely odd. I know this is the dumbest question to ask, but a crucial one. Is the phone rooted? And make sure USB Debugging is on.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shadowscott:
Oh, didn't have USB debugging on when I did the wipes or the flash. But the phone is rooted, yes. IDK how else to do a flash or have CWM without being rooted.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SammaelAkuma:
Well, supposedly there's a way to do it with ODIN, haven't tried it myself. I'm too attached to CWM and having to root to do so. And yes, USB Debugging is needed, iirc. Enable that and flash. It should work then.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shadowscott:
I will try that. But also, when I go into superuser, the first of the three listed is red. I think it's supposed to say -rwsr-sr-x in green but mine says -rwsr-xr-x in red
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SammaelAkuma:
Hm. I don't think the permissions are wrong. Because I unzipped GOv3.3 made my changes and used D4's Update.zip creator to repackage it So the updater script(minus the header) is exactly the same.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shadowscott:
check your pm's. that will be easier to talk on
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shadowscott:
so is anyone not getting the led blinks for new messages?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SammaelAkuma:
Yeah, universal issue with this ROM, afaik. I'm looking into it and a few other things. Might be a few days, though. Got some important things to do tomorrow so working on a possible 4.1 update may take longer than people want, but, eh, life happens.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jakelov:
Flash isn't working with this version....but worked fine with 4.0.0? Any ideas?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SammaelAkuma:
Which version did you use on 4.0 and which are you trying on 4.0.1?

Nothing changed enough to prevent this. The change-log shows only 3 changes.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] vikramkhalsa:
My battery has been dying really quickly.. not really sure whats causing it.. I cleared battery stats after flashing.. I dunno if its the rom or something else.. But it still shows that mostly display has been using it. Weird because I'm not running anymore stuff than I used to..
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SammaelAkuma:
I don't know how this could be. Even with constant use with brightness all the way down, my phone lasts all day. And I use it much like one would use a laptop most of the time.

It could be a by-product of the launcher, though. I don't honestly know.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shadowscott:
Do you just have a lot of stuff synching all day or GPS perhaps being on all the time?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SammaelAkuma:
No. It's between everyone else in the house complaining that my internet stuff interrupts their netflix watching and the ISP having issues.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shadowscott:
Haha, no I was trying to help out the other guy with his battery issue.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SammaelAkuma:
Oh, I see. Lol.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] vikramkhalsa:
I always turn gps off after I'm done using it.. I usually don't keep sync on either -I've had it on more recently but its just contacts/calendar. I'm not sure if its the launcher or what. I almost always have wifi on but I used to do that before too. I went and ended some running processes, that seems to have helped..
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] agentg1001:
Having this issue no matter how many times I try, and no matter how close I am to the router
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SammaelAkuma:
Hm. I can't say it's an issue of the ROM seeing as it's the only case I've heard of that it's occured. Might be an issue with your router. Keyword being might. It shows as connected, right? So it isn't likely that it's caused by the ROM.

And this may seem like a dumb idea...but it looks like you have no SIM inserted. Try inserting one and still connect to wifi.

It could also mean something is wrong with Google's servers for the Play Store. I am highly skeptical that it's caused by the ROM.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
Finally have free time to dedicate to helping you out, Sammael. I'm gonna download the latest version now! :cool:
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shadowscott:
Hey Ric, keep me in the loop. Been working with Sam a little with possible solutions. Maybe I can talk to you cause id love to get some practice with coding for android.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
Awesome...ok...I'll be decompiling the messaging and framework-res.apk and let you know how it works out. :good:
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shadowscott:
I found some recipient list xml in the messaging app. That has text color thereb and it's set to secondary. Could try setting it to black? Then it would be black text on white background
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] agentg1001:
Could be possibly be the rom because on the previous Rom i had it worked, also i used my galaxy s2 to post the picture and post (through Wi-Fi) , so it's not the router, and yeah there's no SIM in the sidekick because I only use it as a backup phone, so maybe the fact that the SIM is not inserted is stopping the sidekick from communicating with Google's servers?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SammaelAkuma:
It could be, because your case is the only one reported of this happening. And besides, I didn't remove anything pertaining to wifi or connectivity when I used GOv3.3 as a base for this ROM.

And to double check that it isn't the router try rebooting both the phone and the router. Then try inserting a SIM card.

Just trying to help determine if it is indeed the ROM(which I have no clue what to change to remedy this if it gets reported by more users).
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shadowscott:
In reygards to flash, I can confirm that its not working on 4.0.1 as well. Although if you just install flash player from adobe it works fine... link for anyone who needs it

http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SammaelAkuma:
It will be included in the 4.1 update. Just as soon as RicAndroid or I fix the theming issue in Messaging.apk
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] vikramkhalsa:
I was still experiencing rapid drops in battery %.. I think it might have been the Pimp my rom tweaks I was trying. Gonna reset them and see how it goes. There isn't any update on the OTA thing yet, right?
