I'm not sure what a "complete wipe" would have to do with anything. If you're referring to a complete wipe as a factory reset, all it really does is wipe the Dalvik cache, cache, and userdata partition. BusyBox and SU live in the system partition and would be unaffected regardless if you wiped before or after installing the zip.

Either way, when the script flashed the system partition using dd, it will copy the image byte-by-byte overwriting the current system partition. Therefore no wipe is needed of the system partition. The only thing the script does not overwrite or wipe is the userdata partition, for the simple fact that most people won't really need to unless coming from a non-stock rom like CM.

Also, swapping the order of BusyBox and SU install won't make a difference as one is not dependent on the other. Not sure why you think "it should be" that way. Care to explain?

So, not really sure where you are going with all of this as you're the first person to have any issues with BusyBox after flashing.

Anyways, like I said before, I appreciate you trying to help de-bug the script, but in this case you are mistaken and the script is working as it should. ;)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] ATGAdmin:
You're right, it works perfect for me...now.

Not sure why you don't know what a complete wipe is (Dalvik, System, Data, Cache), or why you would write a script that didn't install BB correctly after doing so?!? Nor have I ever seen busybox installed before SU, but if it works for an upgrade, why bother to fix it for use as a ROM...right?!?

It's your upgrade, but it's definitely not a ROM if you can't do a complete wipe and have everything install correctly. As-is, it's an upgrade from the stock 4.2.2.

Thank you for the system.img, I appreciate it, I've already mounted and extracted it, and will use it to build a ROM for personal use ;)

Peace out ;)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] id10terror:
I can't tell if you're being serious or just trolling my thread at this point. Did you even read any of my replies? Are you familiar on how dd works and how this is being deployed to the device? Obviously not or else you wouldn't still be suggesting a wipe of the system partition. I don't feel the need to explain this again, as I already have in a previous reply.

Also, BusyBox installs and works just fine afterwards (I just tested it again a few minutes ago on my own device coming from another 4.4.2 ROM).

Again, not really sure you read my replies or why you think the order of how BusyBox and SU are deployed to the system partition matters as they are not dependent on one another, at least not in this context while being installed from recovery.

This is a STOCK build with BB and Root added, it's spelled out in the title. This is a FULL STOCK ROM and not just an upgrade. It can be flashed coming from ANY other ROM, as long as you have TWRP already installed (and a loki-exploitable ABOOT, which is assumed if you have TWRP).

You are welcome! Hope it works out for you! Although if you did decide to release anything using that system.img, I'd appreciate a mention.

Anyways, I've spent way too much of my time trying to explain things to you. Only reason I'm responding at this point is so that other readers don't get misinformed by your posts.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] id10terror:
New TWRP build for 4.4.2 linked in the OP and 2nd post.

This new build fixes bootloop while USB is plugged in, and also fixes the screen dimming issue. This build also includes USB OTG and and adb access. :good::good:

Make sure to pass by [MENTION=4557482]Drgravy[/MENTION] 's thread to thank him!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] woody1:
I saw that in the V50018a thread that LBJM has offered a method for using the 18a kernel with the US 20b rom. Using the 18a kernel seems to fix the gamma issue. I don't know if anybody has tested this to make sure there are no issues with using this kernel with 20b. Assuming it works ok, would the OP consider packaging a version of 20b that uses the 18a kernel?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] detonation:
I'm on stock rooted 4.2.2 with TWRP installed. If I flashed this ROM, would that basically be the same as taking the 4.4.2 OTA (without having to go through the trouble of unrooting and putting the stock recovery back on)?

Also, do I have to be on 2.7.0.0 to flash the ROM (then upgrade to 2.7.0.1 after) or can I just do 2.7.0.1 first?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] aicjofs:
Yes its basically like taking the OTA from a user perspective, just skips flashing a few partitions that aren't apart of the Android experience.

Just personal preference. Backup in current TWRP. Flash ROM, reboot and test ROM works, then reboot and flash TWRP. Don't have to do it that way but I always like to ensure I can get to at least one (TWRP or Android) before flashing the other. Make sure USB unplugged after flash or you can't boot TWRP.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] LBJM:
I've been using the 18a on this build just fine. When LG releases working sources for this build someone will build a kernel I'm sure. If you want to this rom flash the 18a kernel just pull the boot.img from the 18a rom and replace the file in the zip. You might need to pull the md5 hash as well if the install script does a compare to verify the boot.img. I have not looked at the install script. Or you could just flash the zip for the kernel after you do the 20b flash. I've been thinking of doing a rom but without working Kernel sources this is the best rom to use ATM.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] magnum73:
I have noticed after a couple of days after flashing this update I sometimes have sd

Card unmount for a couple of seconds,then it mounts back...Unfortunately I just deleted my backup of 4.2.2. stock root

... Is there a solution for the random unmounted sd card ?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] LBJM:
Sounds to me like your sdcard is failing or the file system might be corrupt. I would recommend you back everything up on your sdcard and then use the g pad to reformat the card. If the problem keeps happening try a different sdcard.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] magnum73:
But I had never problems before I flashed the 4.4.2... ??
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] stbxxl:
Flashed this yesterday on a stock 4.2.2 device (already rooted and TWRP 2.7.0.1) in place. No issues so far. Many thanks for putting this together.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] h_10:
I have the same issue. In addition crap files would get written to my sd card, files which i couldn't delete. I just backed up rom to intrnal sd and reformatted the card via system storage. Hopefully this resolves the issue. Didnt have this issue on 4.2.2.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] h_10:
reformat via system storage didn't work. card still disconnects during extended period of sleep. oh well, looking to revert back to 4.2.2.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] magnum73:
But how do we do that without losing data ,etc. ?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] erwaso:
So im going from 4.2.2 rooted to this ROM, everything is successful after install but when i go to reboot system i keep going back to the TWRP screen (v2.7.0.0), no dimness anymore though.

What am i doing wrong?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] meanoc:
If anyone is still having the disconnect problem with sd cards try uninstalling any type of copy to sd utilities. I tried installing link2sd and right away I had major problems. Tried a few of the other popular apps and the result was always my sd card disappearing. I finally found foldermount which works 100% and zero sd card issues :good:
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Trjlangdon:
So I have CM installed but would like to give stock another shot. Do I install TWRP for the 4.4.2 bootloader or the 4.2.2? I never installed 4.4.2 OTA but of course CM is 4.4.2
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Hitokiri-Snake:
So, I stupidly accepted the latest OTA last night because I forgot that I didn't have stock recovery installed, and now my tablet is in a bootloop. I've managed to boot it to TWRP but I still can't boot to the system. Any suggestions? shall I just reflash this ROM from recovery?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Hitokiri-Snake:
So I reflashed the ROM, but it's still stuck in a bootloop, kind of. It just keeps booting straight to recovery no matter what I do.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] annoyingduck:
You must perform an update recovery via the desktop flash tool. Only fix, and it will wipe everything in the process.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Hitokiri-Snake:
I actually found another fix in a different thread. I ran this command from within TWRP, "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota" and it made it stop booting to recovery by default. I'm glad that worked because I was not looking forward to losing all of my data.

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Deltadroid:
It seems to me that the problem with this ROM installation is that it is assuming a specific aboot image is installed. If boot.img is not patched by loki_tool, then the signature might not match certain aboot versions and prevent the system from booting. It seems to be that the installation must extract a copy of the currently installed aboot.img, patch boot.img against the local aboot.img, then install boot.lok with loki_tool or dd.

Hopefully soon
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Paul_Kolanjian:
As long as no clear method is present to show you how to dualboot CyanogenMod 10.1 and 11, probably no one is interested as two ROMs, 4.0.4 and 4.2.2, aren't much of a treat (btw It's the only working combination I got to work but still..)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] theonepharaoh:
why not cm11 and cm10.1 ?

I actually use cm11 as primary and cm 10.1 as secondary

I had cm10 and 10.1 and 10.2 as secondary

what matters in the secondary rom is it must use a non ion build

so

the best builds are

cm 10 final

cm10.1 beta 1

cm10.2 beta 4

and any build before that

or any rom that does not use ion kernels

My Gratitude to theonepharaoh

God bless you, dear friend. Your post, right up there, has helped me so much and now I understand how the secondary ROM functions on the ancora.

If you have an SD card plugged in remove it and try to reboot. If that does not work I would personally try volume up/power for 20 seconds. The above error can also happen if the boot area is fubar (and not the entire drive) but I am not liking your odds here

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Jersey846:
I'm in the market to purchase a bluetooth controller that will be compatible with the 7 and from my research these two controllers seem to be the most discussed options. I am rooted and do not plan on mounting it to the Nexus. While I am used to the design of an Xbox 360 controller and the Moga is most similar to that design, I have read that the build quality is not quite as good as the ps3 controller. Being rooted, I am aware that both controllers can play an equal amount of games. Or that's my understanding anyway. I owned a different Moga over a year ago and used it with my rooted Razr M and it worked with any game that supported a controller with the use of root and a separate app I downloaded from the Play Store. It looks as if the Moga costs a bit more than a PS3 controller. But it also looks like I'll have to spend a few bucks on an adapter cable to initially set up the PS3 controller. So I'm at a bit of a crossroads. I understand it's going to come down to personal taste, but I was wondering if there was anything I'm missing here that maybe some of you could enlighten me about with pros or cons.

As a side note, I am waiting to hear more reviews on the Amazon TV device, but am considering purchasing it if it seems worth the price. It's my understanding that it will or does support bluetooth controllers in addition to the official Amazon controller. Since this purchase may be a possibility, I'd also have the hope that I'd possibly be able to use the same game controller with the Amazon TV as I do with my Nexus. Any advice would be great appreciated.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] PcFish:
Haven't tried on the N7, but SixAxis Controller worked on my HTC One.

You don't need a special OTG cable (though it def makes it easier to pair), just the USB charging cable for the PS3 controller. You download an app to run on your PC to find out the bluetooth address of your controller. Instructions Here
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Jersey846:
I'll probably go ahead and get the ps3 controller then. It seems that is the consensus of most. Thanks very much for the input!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] whoamanwtf:
The Moga pro works fantastic and I have been able to sync it to everything I own as a full functioning controller including the FireTV! Can't do that with a ps3 remote ;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Jersey846:
Hmm then that may be worth reconsidering. I would like it to play with phone, Nexus and a possible TV device.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] whoamanwtf:
One thing to consider is I am pretty sure that the ps3 controller app requires root, where as the Moga does not. Just make sure to get the Pro or any of the power ones, the normal old school moga doesn't have enough buttons to work with everything. Also while gaming on the phone, the Moga has a built in GameClip so it holds your phone sort of like playing a Shield.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Jersey846:
Yeah my devices are all rooted. I needed root with my original Moga to make it compatible with most all games and not just Moga compatible games. Thanks!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] whoamanwtf:
Yeah, the Moga Pro however does not need root like the original did. It has two separate modes with different drivers. One is their usual Moga driver you are used to and the other is a universal mode that just works.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] player911:
PS3 all the way. Feels better and responds better. The separated D pad makes Retro gaming feel natural. It requires root but if you're a serious gamer you'll want root for other things like custom kernels and overclocks.

I use the PS3 on my Ouya too, which supports it out of the box. I use my Moga for travel but its just awkward.

PS3 feels like a solid gamepad where others feel like imitators.

Hi to everyone.

Before this HTC device I had others and also had a Motorola Mpx220 (WM2003 SE).

I was used to move the files within "\Windows\Start Menu" (mostly .lnk files to installed programs) into newly created subfolders, to be able to use and/or access the function I needed in a faster way.

I've tried doing the same on this WM5 device, but everytime I try I get an error message reporting it is not possible (File Explorer has greyed out options to cut and/or copy, while TotalCommander just reports it's not possible to "overwrite" ???).

Does anyone have an idea of how this can be done (registry ???) ?

Thank you.
