Is it possible to add a "flash after update" option?

Then you can select the zips you want to install after an update (like xposed) and it automatically flashes after the rom.

(This is more for the user, the zips should be or on your phone/sd or on your own romhunt account or any other upload site if possible)
[Android Apps and Games] MattBooth:
Over the summer I will be looking into adding a queuing system of some sort and integrating that with the open recovery script. I'm pretty sure you can also add a file to the addon.d folder for CM/AOSP based ROMs to preserve certain apps.
[Android Apps and Games] FPSUsername:
Great, I'm waiting :)

The Carbon rom OTA updater had this build in. You just put the zips into the folder "Flashafterupdate" (I think it was called like that) and it flashed after the rom.

I just included your app into my ROM, and it works fine. Thanks for your work. I'm waiting for a new feature that allows the users to install ROM

+ GApps

automatically via OpenRecoveryScript.
[Android Apps and Games] MattBooth:
There is a solution currently. It's not the best but it works!

If you're using OTAUpdates 2.4+ in your ROM, there will be a folder in /sdcard/OTAUpdates/InstallAfterFlash/

Anything put in there will be installed after a ROM download and flash, if done via OpenRecoveryScript.

I'm working on a better solution, but this what is in place for now :)
[Android Apps and Games] kinghunki:
I currently use OTAUpdates 2.4.2, but download zip not installed automatically (to be automatic the recovery), have a better solution?
[Android Apps and Games] MattBooth:
Update in the OP. Two changelogs, because I forgot to update the thread last time!

v2.4.3

11th June 2015

Change the way the file directories are created

Hopefully stop this IllegalStateException that's showing in the crash

reports.

Fix NPE on download progress bar in MainActivity

OTA Dir path correction

Fix NPE in AvailableActivity when setting up progress bars and text

color

Catch NPE related to Google Play Services and ads

Check for null values when checking for connectivity

Fixed another NPE with the Addons List view

v2.4

26th May 2015

Added first run message to inform about new features

Fixed Open Recovery Script on non-AOSP ROMs. Should now work properly

Added "install after ROM functionality" - Put zips inside "/sdcard/OTAUpdates/InstallAfterFlash/" and they will be automatically flashed after an update, if using Open Recovery Script

Added delete confirmation on addons

Change default download directories. Now they go into /sdcard/OTAUpdates

Translations for Italian and Russian

Added AOSP makefile functionality for AOSP ROMs built form source

Open Recovery Script is now on by default

Please, please, please pleeeease can you ask users to PM, post here or email me with crash reports rather than leaving poor reviews on the Play Store. Most of the time it's some other fault than the app and could easily be fixed, but now the app is down to 3.8 stars, despite most of those reviews being either a crash that has gone unreported (but happy to leave a crappy store rating -.-).
[Android Apps and Games] Er. Aditya:
as soon as i click on download rom ota updater app fc

here are the files
[Android Apps and Games] -m3tac0rt3x-:
No idea if you can even try it due to the speed it FCs, but on a ROM thread, some weeks ago, people were having FCs on OTA and after some tries they disabled the "Show ads" or something like that and then the App would stop FCing on that particular ROM.

Can you try?

Note: Haven't opened the logs due to limitations of the company PC I'm currently at...
[Android Apps and Games] Er. Aditya:
naah bro it still fc's
[Android Apps and Games] -m3tac0rt3x-:
Nice pic. Like a boss! :highfive: :victory:

What I suggested was as a workaround for the FCs, not as a common practice - and I never had an FC on the App, even on that mentioned ROM. ;)

Also the "Disable ads" is no longer necessary on the current version of the ROM, it was an issue with some users a couple of weeks ago, probably couple of months really, but as I read every post on a thread I subscribed, I remembered that workaround. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] MattBooth:
[MENTION=5750672]Er. Aditya[/MENTION] Have you considered using RomHut to handle your updates? It's easier than using the manual method. You just upload the ROM there, add the changelog and hit "publish". The website handles the ota.xml generation.
[Android Apps and Games] Er. Aditya:
Lol sir really like a boss :D

But mate I have the libbypass.so in my otaupdate- lib-arm-here

And I am trying to get developer option but nothing happens...I click on the option on top ...the circle rotates and thats it

Il still try again tomorrow with different browser

Or check if this works again

Thanks bro for a great app ;)
[Android Apps and Games] MattBooth:
Did you sign up? PM me your email and I can get you sorted immediately.

Try the libbypass.so in /system/lib
[Android Apps and Games] Er. Aditya:
I am away from my laptop at the moment.... but if this rom hut issue fixes then we are good to go..... I guess I have made a mess somewhere in ota.xml

Edit : also sent the pm
[Android Apps and Games] MattBooth:
Oh, no the fix could well be putting the lib in /system/lib/libbypass.so :)

RomHut is just a suggestion to make things easier for you.
[Android Apps and Games] Er. Aditya:
thanks aton sir

putting the lib in /system/lib/

has certainly fixed the issue but now am stuck at this
[Android Apps and Games] MattBooth:
That is a problem in the ota.xml for sure. Possibly the URL of the ROM. Try uploading to Romhut, which puts direct links for the OTA, and copy the url form the romhut ota.xml (can be found in the rom settings easily enough.
[Android Apps and Games] Er. Aditya:
thanks mate , sorry outta thanks till i reach my tapatalk :P

but now my dev account has been approved il upload on romhut :D
[Android Apps and Games] MattBooth:
No probs :)

When you're in RomHut it will give you an OTA section for a ROM with all the information needed for the OTA to work. Though, once you've put the OTA data into the build.prop, all you need to do then is update the version number each build, and upload to RomHut. All your users will get an OTA notification within 12 hours (if they didn't change the background service checking time).
[Android Apps and Games] Er. Aditya:
1. i edited build.prop with the given instructions on romhut

2. now how do i upload the version number sir

3. no matter what i try to upload it gives and error Upload failed, please try again or contact support: [object Object]

sorry for this il get hang of this after a single trial :)
[Android Apps and Games] MattBooth:
Passed this onto the developer of RomHut. Should be fixed soon.

EDIT:

Are you uploading a zip? I just uploaded a test file ok.

The version number goes in the next screen after the upload, along with the changelog.
[Android Apps and Games] Er. Aditya:
and also what and how i upload version number on the site ??

any xml or doc or what ??

thanks again :)

[Android Apps and Games] MattBooth:
Updates today:

v2.5.1

29th June 2015

Fixed a serious FC when a ROM didn't have a default theme set in the build.prop (so, most people).

v2.5

29th June 2015

Fixed downloading from HTTP only links for manual users

Added the parsing of the download link's host and showing it in the available update activity screen

Fixed my own donation links always showing Coinbase!

Added the choosing of download location by developers (see the XDA thread instructions for this)

Added the ability for developers to choose the default theme (also see the XDA thread for this)

Changed the available update activity page to show the full download file title without stripping spaces

Fixed some more NullPointerExceptions for various methods

Used version name rather than filename for available update activity

Fixed the generation of ORS (@nicholaschum)

Added Pro/Donate button to the settings. This does nothing (Currently) just a donate button, but in future this will add some nice things for those who buy it and support development.

Added showing the current storage location in preferences to show users where downloads will go. Later this will be changed to allow users to change the download location

MAJOR app rewrite coming in the next few weeks. Should be good :)
[Android Apps and Games] saintxseiya:
Hi,

since the last update and the modification on the storage code parts, on my devices the OTAupdates are not longer stored under "/storage/emulated/0/OTAupdates" but now under "/storage/emulated/0/storage/emulated/0/OTAupdates"

That means, the recovery script does not work and i have to flash it manually again. :(

Cheers,

11th July 2015

Fixed download location bug
[Android Apps and Games] boylush:
Hi, I'm a device maintainer for Temasek's Unofficial Build for Xperia SP (huashan).

The OTA Updates app has been configured correctly. However, the app isn't responding once i hit the 'Download' button using the app to download the OTA.

Thanks in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] MattBooth:
Can you provide your xml?
[Android Apps and Games] boylush:
I'm using RomHut so there isn't any XML.

Only code i added is :

# OTA Updates
ro.ota.romname=Temasek's Unofficial Build for Xperia SP
ro.ota.version=151
ro.ota.manifest=https://romhut.com/roms/temasek-s-unofficial-build-for-xperia-sp/ota.xml

Changelog works, scrolling works. Just that once I hit the 'Download' button the whole app just stops responding.

v2.5.3

10th August 2015

Fixed the Addons page crashing. This only affected RomHut users... but the fix will affect users who's developers manually host their ROMs. I'm knee deep in the middle of work and a rewrite that will resolve these kinds of issues for good.

Fixed the OpenREcoveryScript InstallAfterFlash generation so that it generates properly and will install files as intended

Stripped whitespace from the OTA Urls just in case developers put some in there (they shouldn't, but it's happening :| )

Still in the middle of the v3.0 rewrite. I'm working a full-time job as of mid-July, so my development time has lessened dramatically, but I'm still ploughing through as fast as I can. The code for v2.xx is just terrible and I'm happy to be rewriting it. Many of the issues lately would be fixed by the rewriting, but they were show stoppers and needed fixing.

Nice work! Great build and concept the concept is solid.

Question for us who can't get romhut, is the "addons" section broken for us, or did I not configure something correctly?

The Rom update portion work perfectly. Super easy to setup and push updates with notifications.

The addons sections shows my files, but when I click them the app fc's? Not a big deal, but if I can get it to work that would be even better!

Thanks again OP and all those who have helped along the way. Looking forward to seeing where this could go!

If you are looking for ideas I have a couple I could bounce around?

Sounds like you're pretty busy with, life, so take your time. XDA will be here..
[Android Apps and Games] nicholaschum:
I made an Android Studio buildable version with an external source set up (complete removal of RomHut). You can check it out:

https://github.com/chummydevteam/TeamBlissOTA

It's a fork of Matt's OTAUpdates, but completely changed in terms of usability. Base source is the same, with same codings used for downloading, but I changed a couple of things complete independency from RomHut (won't show null if not using RomHut), and multiple InstallAfterFlash files.

PS. You should post a log when the App FC's in Addons, would help us a lot! :)

(The link is the second revamp of OTAUpdates, the first one (as shown in /network/members) from my main github is an old one, but fully functional too)

As usual, we have [MENTION=3443334]MattBooth[/MENTION] to thank for making this source available to us!
[Android Apps and Games] MattBooth:
Later versions removed some dependency from RomHut. I'm in the middle of a rewrite, which will be completely agnostic of RomHut.

To those using OTAUpdates on 6.0+, you may realize that it needs runtime permissions or it will FC.

My commit on TeamBlissOTA allows for permissions to be requested at the start of the app, and if not granted, would close the app.

[Android Apps and Games] sirhc:
EDIT: I fixed my issue but I have another major problem and its pissing me off.

Used the original OTAUpdates, set up my own host etc. Everything was placed how it should be, but it kept saying no update available. Even made sure the update package and version number was incrementally higher. Still no dice. I was gonna use the RomHut method but I signed up for a dev account a week ago and still no response. Very unprofessional considering I got approved for a dev account on Basketbuild and Androidfilehost within 24 hours.

I then saw the new OTAUpdates package linked to this thread which was said to have been rewritten and removed RomHut dependences. Went to the Github page and it's BlissOTA now, really? So I said, since it basically uses the same method there would be no reason why it wouldn't work. Followed the instructions, linked my manifest and linked my update link inside the manifest. BOOM, got the update available notification. Downloaded the update and installed. Here's the issues with this, after a reboot, the application is still saying an update is available. Why? The version number it's checking for and the version number that's listed in my build.prop are the same. Changed the version to a higher one in my build.prop, still saying update available. I even deleted the actual update file from the servers and it's still saying an update is a available, what the hell? How is this even possible? When I tried to Download the "Fake" update it only downloaded some KB, so basically it's generating some random corrupted file from somewhere that doesn't exist. Cleared the data of the application and boom it's back to saying No update available. It must of been small bug right? Provably fixed itself right? Wrong, for the past 24 hours, no matter what update package I upload and link, it's still saying no update available. My version number in my build prop is 2016022001, the one in the OTA.XML is 2016022201, the file name is Cypher2016022201. I've changed changing the file name structure, the version number format, anything you can think of and it's still saying no update available. This is just ridiculous man. It's funny because this is the same Update Application that BlissROM and many others use. The BlissROM in my device thread gets updates with no issue with this and I'm using the same exact method there using. Smh uggghh

[G3 Accessories] jdsemler:
I picked up a Duracell dual Powermat pad and the official circle case from AT&T.

The Powermat seems to work with the official case, but you have to set it on there just right for it to charge and stay charging. There's a magnet in the pad that feels like it is trying to pull the back cover into the right location, but it does not put it into perfect alignment. It pulls it into the pad, but it doesn't really provide a lot of value other than a false sense of accomplishment.

I often have to lift and attempt to reset the wireless power connection to get it to actually start to charge. Also, you have to orient the phone off center where the bottom just barely hangs over the bottom edge and the top hangs generously over the top edge, which is hard to intuitively gauge.

Is there a better PMA mat that allows for a more logically centered set down? The Duracell makes the noise that it is charging when I put the phone on it, then most times, I notice the phone is not actually charging.
[G3 Accessories] awtryau89:
I'm not having these issues with my Duracells. They work fine. I did have an issue last night where wirelessly they charge to a full battery but cut off and will not charge again until the phone drops well below 99%. I am guessing this is a protection mode. Also, if you want to stop the sound, you can crack the powermat open and just pull out the little speaker inside. I did this on the one I keep next to my bed.
[G3 Accessories] jdsemler:
Are you using the dual or the single charger?
[G3 Accessories] awtryau89:
Dual
[G3 Accessories] jaythaovadose:
Good advice on that horrid sound
[G3 Accessories] awtryau89:
Yep. Just pull back the sticky film on the bottom about a half inch and you will see the screws. Take those out and the top pops off. You have some sticky tape inside holding it together so that will pop but it doesn't break anything. Then just pull the speaker out. Its also stuck with tape. I didn;t bother to un-solder mine, I just pulled them loose. Both pads perform fine not with no sound. You have the LEDs that tell you if you are connected similar to all the Qi pads I have tried.
[G3 Accessories] jdsemler:
My problem ended up being the phone itself. A few days later, it stopped charging wireless completely. It would charge via the USB still. I got my Circle Case exchanged with no luck. I went back and swapped out the phone, and it has been working fine ever since. The problems I was having of it being flaky on the Powermat are gone.
