(if you're on android 4.2 which allows lockscreen widgets)

You can use NiLS - Lock Screen Notifications Widget which is a widget for your lockscreen.

Also DashClock with the right extensions (for reading incoming notifications) can do that.

If you're not on 4.2 android, then LockerPro is a nice locksreen replacement with notification support.

Does anyone have a zip that will wipe my phone clean so that I can install a new ROM? I have one for my GS3, but I was unable to find one for my One X. Even with a Google search.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] InflatedTitan:
You'll need to find the RUU for the firmware that your phone is currently on. Download the ruu to your computer. Plug in phone and boot into fastboot. Run the ruu on the computer and it will bring your phone back to 100% factory status.

It won't wipe your sdcard though. To get it squeeky clean, you'll need to format the sdcard.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jacobas92:
I think he's talking more along the lines of caulkins format all zip.

Try searching for that. It formats system, data and cache.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
To be clear, you don't "need" any such zip in order to install a custom ROM. Some people believe such "Superwipe" zips are a cleaner way of doing it (and may also be useful if you are experiencing bugs after a ROM flash). But I've never used anything of the sort, and never had any issues.

Just wipe cache and Dalvik, then factory reset in recovery (

do not

factory reset in bootloader, as this corrupts the SD). Then flash the ROM. No need to format system, as this is done automatically when you flash the ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
By that logic, no need to wipe cache or dalvik either since factory reset does that. I find wiping system provides peace of mind and one thing to cross off when troubleshooting buggyness within a Rom.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Yeah plus I'm sure I've seen ROMs that don't wipe system during the install script. I always wipe system, for peace of mind, seeing as it only takes a second.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Not sure, but I don't think that is true. I thought all factory reset did was format the /data partition (delete user data).

Also, wiping cache and Dalvik is completely harmless. They will just rebuild themselves when you reboot. There is literally no reason not to wipe them, in any number of circumstances. Wiping system . . . not so much.

---------- Post added at 10:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 AM ----------

I've seen this on another device, but haven't seen or heard of it on this device. Although, of course I haven't flashed every ROM available.

Sure, it typically doesn't hurt to do wipe system. Although I've seen the all-too-common instance of the n00b randomly wiping things (including system) and then asking "why won't the phone boot" (umm. . .because you wiped the OS). Thus, I normally refrain for recommending to wipe system (at least without making it clear what that actually does).

In any case, my main point is that all the required wipes are available in recovery, and no special wipe "zip" is explicitly needed (although might help in certain instances, as I've already mentioned).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jacobas92:
Isn't dalvik kept in /cache or /data?

I'll be honest, I did use one for a while back when I used twrp. While it is kinda pointless, it is a lot faster adding it to the zip install list than going through every wipe/format option.

OT: I feel like I'm the only one using philz touch recovery. Anyone else using it? It's got a lot of nifty features.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
I had to look it up, but apparently it is on /data. So Factory Reset should in fact wipe it.

I've probably always though of Dalvik as something that should be wiped separately, since you should (at a minimum) wipe cache and Dalvik when doing a "dirty flash". Than I just do it by habit when doing a "clean" flash.

As I already mentioned, most of us will likely agree that there is no harm in wiping things that are going to be wiped anyways "just in case".

As long as you aren't one of these folks that wipes /system, then asks why his OS is gone.

other solutions I found(didnt work for me, might work for others) were:

-Instagram>Settings>Advanced Features>Use HQ Image Processing

-Go to Developer Settings>Force GPU Rendering

-Crop/resize to 612by612 before uploading (Filters work if I use this)

OS Monitor offers a status-bar "widget" as well. And if you want it just as screen overlay, simply enable it in the developer options (though that's more like output from "top").
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
Well, this one was not really asked for, but I need it for my other testing, and I imagine people might be interested in having the option.

This is also a bit more like a proof of concept (and a bit crude at that), even though fully functional - Stock ROM fully bootable from sdcard.

I don't think a lot of people would use this as a daily driver, but it certainly beats having stock on sdcard vs needing to restore stock in EMMC every time you need to test one little thing (or you might buy a few more Nooks, I guess. B&N would certainly appreciate that ;) ).

Limitations and differences from real stock:

- currently there's no access to emmc storage partition as I wanted the setup to remain as vanilla as needed at first

- adb is on by default, though (As root).

- You can actually change files in /system as much as you want - secure mode is off.

For ovation (Nook HD+) You'll need a special ovation image that you'll need to write to an sdcard, at least 4G in size. (gunzip and use dd or winImage)

For hummingbird (Nook HD) You'll need a special hummingbird CWM image that you'll need to write to an sdcard, at least 4G in size. (gunzip and use dd or winImage)

Also get the the stock image (see below) and either place it to internal storage or reboot from the card and use adb push it to /sdcard (basically it's like you install CM ROM, refer to user-friendly thread in General if you cannot follow my condensed instructions here, only use different file name). Note this already has gapps and other stuff, so you don't need any additional installs other than stock at the beginning.

Stock images:

For ovation: stock-ovation-2.2.0.zip (If you are upgrading from 2.1.1 or before, you also need to flash cyanoboot-ovation-2.zip)

For hummingbird: stock-hummingbird-2.2.0-new.zip (If you are upgrading from 2.1.1 or before, you also need to flash cyanoboot-hummingbird-1.zip)

So after you install this thing, reboot. CWM will warn you that the image is not rooted. Decide for yourself if you want to root on the spot or not.

The dimmed Cyanoboot logo will stay on for quite a while (52 seconds for me) - don't worry, it's doing something.

You'll be able to adb in about halfway through that.

Then you'll see familiar Nook Stock white booting screen, this one will stop at 99% - again no fears, it takes quite a while here till the thing rebuilds the caches, on my class4 sandisk it takes 2m40s

Once it's done - you'll be prompted to register and all that.

Now you are done, enjoy.

Now I also have a script to automate creation of the stock zips for sdcard install, so you no longer need o wait for me to create these files

History:

Old Stock images:

For ovation: stock-ovation-2.1.0.zip stock-ovation-2.1.1.zip - these need a special old ovation image

For hummingbird: stock-hummingbird-2.1.1.zip - these need a special old hummingbird CWM image

This is awesome. This way if users want to dual boot, they can put stock on SD, CM10.1 on emmc and not worry about resetting stock. That way they can add things to stock /system directly. Curious to see if the CWM root works.

Hello, I am/was planning to install this alongside my CM10.1 EMMC setup, but now that I reread this thread -again- it doesn't seem to have a way to dual boot. I mean when SD would be inserted it would boot to Stock, when not it would boot to CM, but the ideal would to be able to switch from one OS to another w/t having to add/remove the SD card quite as frequently, no?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
You can dual boot if you go to my post here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=42295360.

Follow the directions there and it will put the cyanoboot menu on the SD. Then you can change the default to boot to emmc instead of SD if you want. Just remember the terminology is backwards though, stock means emmc and CM10.1 means SD.

Then every time it boots with the SD inserted it will boot to emmc and if you want it to boot fully to SD, just press the n key to get to the menu and choose CM10.1 (SD).
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Stevethegreat:
Whoah! That's exactly what I was looking for, didn't know it would work with "Stock-SD" .

Thanks, as always, leap

Now all it remains is to find a way to enable "unknown sources" to this rom and I'll be set (the method used for "emmc-stock" doesn't work here unfortunately).

Again thanks (both to VG and leap, and to the rest of the community that may have helped ;) )
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Stevethegreat:
Hello, sorry to double post (and bump this thread) but I found out why's it impossible to enable "unkown sources" using the "extras.zip" that is been given to leaplinlar's thread. Apparently it searches for the EMMC partition whereupon it tries to enable the changes (install zeam, enable "unknown sources", etc). Given that this install uses the SD-card one would only need to redirect "uknown sources" script to search (and run on) SD card.

Given my non-experience in writing android-scripts I found a hard time to do just that, so if leap or anyone else would be able to modify the script (and post it as a flashable zip if possible) so that to run on an external stock setup, I think, it's something that belongs in this thread as it's the only thing missing from VeryGreen's experimental rom (it actually runs perfectly, root included, it only lacks "unknown sources")...

Again thanks, to all involved, for your work.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
Yes, after your last post, I decided to modify the zip to make it possible to do that. I just need a little time to get it done.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Stevethegreat:
Hey, thanks, that's much appreciated :good:

Take your time...
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Stevethegreat:
Just one thing to add (sorry for the double post): This solution does not work as it interferes with VG's method to boot stock from SD. Upon replacing the boot files, it would simply refuse to boot to Stock (SD), it will hang on the selection screen. The EMMC setup -of course- will boot just fine, so I guess that/this need to be reworked as well ... sadly.

Thanks anyhow ;)

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
You do not need ADB. Just burn the early 7.1 image to your 8GB SD and boot to it. If you have previously downloaded the stock zip using CM10.1, just have CWM install zip from sd/choose zip from internal memory. It will install it to the SD.
