Excellent idea, thanks for this. Makes updating much simpler, and with a lot less hassle.

I tried everything I could to speed up Cyans latest ROM with no luck, so I'll try out this single flash build. Thanks again!
[G1 Android Development] lucky 69:
don't worry about it ! keep up the good work ! you have done nothing wrong ! easy one step is so much better . thanks!:D

work on my3g?

Will this work on mytouch 3g?
[G1 Android Development] jaaronmoody:
yes it's easy, yes it's not legal, yes it works, and yes, i'd like to see google, or any other company try to stop rampant development of their semi-open sourced project. How many have been prosecuted for music dl'ing so far????
[G1 Android Development] Ducter:
I kinda see all this illegal/legal crap the same way I see the real world working..some people say sorry, but they really arent sorry they are just sorry they got caught, not for the actions they did...

This forum is the same way, unless you are running a bone stock official tmobile g1 ROM, or MyTouch or whatever phone your running..no ones sorry they are running any of the ROMs they are, but if they get caught well then sorry will come out of peoples mouths like a river.

I really do not think that any of xda's members are willingly running a bone stock build.

I also think that some of the Devs are leaving XDA simply because of the drama, lotta queens here for sure.
[G1 Android Development] wddglr:
This forum has lost it's class..

notice how everyone stopped talking about "h4t3rz" after Joushou stepped in the argument.

It's a good tool, yes, but I stand with Joushou on this one.

Cyanogen adopted the new method of installing because of what happened. Plus, it's only a wipe and two flashes.

I remember before, we would need to wipe every time we flashed a ROM. And don't get me started on rooting, because I've been here since the days of JF and Hayruko...

Anyways, good tool. for the lazy.

No kidding..if music downloads are illegal then consider me a trafficker...a kingpin, if you will. I have more music than i know what to do with, it would take me WEEKS to listen to MOST OF IT. Im not being prosecuted for it.

What google wanted was to push their weight around, plain and simple. They dont care what goes on at XDA, they dont care how popular Cyanogen is, they just got pissed cus he didnt let them be FIRST to show the new market, and so they puffed up their chest, let out their scariest growl, and gave Cyan a good push, all to get their point across. Its just intimidation. A show of strength. they know they cant control us, but they want us to think that they can and will try. seriously, think about it, whats REDISTRIBUTION mean, even? it means that (hypothetically) i bought something, and instead of making my best friend go buy his own, i made him a free copy, therefore cutting into the original makers profits. now lets look at what we're doing here. the only people IN THE WORLD that HAVE AN ANDROID DEVICE, but DONT HAVE google apps, are some remote countries in europe or asia or somwhere, right? So FOR THE MOST PART, everyone who's downloading ROMs from XDA containing google apps have already purchased a google experience device, and therefore hold a license for the device and the software it contains. RIGHT?

Which would mean that i could download whoever's copy of whatever app ALL DAY LONG, BECAUSE I ALREADY OWN THE LICENSE BECAUSE I BOUGHT THE GOOGLE PHONE. Doesnt that sound about right? The phone that i paid (a ****load of) good money for had those apps on it when i paid all that money for it, so they are PART OF THE PACKAGE I PAID FOR. so i have a license to download those apps all i want because i ALREADY OWN THEM. As long as i dont DISTRIBUTE those softwares to anyone who hasnt ALREADY PURCHASED THEIR OWN COPY, cus that would cut into {Google's} profits. HOWEVER, when i download the market app from Cyanogen, Google isnt losing a dime cus I ALREADY OWN IT ANYWAY, so it REALLY ISNT distribution, its just more like trading back and forth. My 2 cents....

-BMFC
[G1 Android Development] jaaronmoody:
well, there are things that are being distro'd that had not been officially been released yet. i think that is where the problem is. but they use the possibility that the apps included in the rom can be moved to a non-google experience device.
[G1 Android Development] bmfc187:
I agree, thats what i was getting at. they went after Cyanogen because it was easier than going after EVERYONE ELSE...but technically, the majority of us here ARE acting legally, and they just dont want to take the chance that ONE PERSON on here MIGHT be getting a google app without paying for it...

[G1 Android Development] iPhone iWing:
man i have personally made a few custom roms for friends and my self. come after me google or who ever. we are what make the current life style real and up to date. all yall keep talking your crap. unroot and throw your devices away! you are useless!! you have no right to flash and flash and flash some more(hero an cliq) and then say dav is wrong. do you all that are talking crap actually only use cy's legal rom? thats it? only that rom when there is a buffet of illegal roms here? maybe i should make a few more roms and throw them up here. i would love yall to harass me. your a great part of the community. thanks a$$h0l3s!!

ps: if this rom gets taken down ill post more links ever other place to make sure it lives. thanks!!
[G1 Android Development] schtuka:
Ah, all the righteous anonimous zelots, spitting their minimalistic understanding of copyright law, yet fully taking advantage of the same free stuff that is only has a different name and posted under different thread. Donate to Cyanogen why don't you instead of protecting him from big bad bear Giggle while hiding behind your net anonimicity. This is free internet and everyone is adult here, capable of making their own decision. You make me sick.
[G1 Android Development] blueheeler:
What we really need are INSTRUCTIONS so we can build the rom OURSELVES.

You know what they say about fish and food. Well, the Cyanogen (and other developers) will no doubt tend to move to the legit method of installations. It may take some time, but you know we'll see lots of builds coming to us in multi-part installs.

It would be great if we can get tutorials telling us what we need to do to merge them ourselves.

Everyone has to learn sometime. We all had to learn how to flash the roms we've been using. Well, if takes installing Linux (I have), and the SDK (I have) and other tools, so beit. It may be much more complicated, but if we have good tutorials with step by step instructions, nobody should have a problem. I remember the steps it took to just get root and do all the early mods to our phones. We all did it, and we have paid homage to a few dead G1's along the way. But it got easier. This will too. Until then, we have to start somewhere.
[G1 Android Development] jaaronmoody:
as far as i can tell, all you have to do is adb push the apps that you want ... where you want.
[G1 Android Development] schtuka:
Thanks Daveid and if this was a forum in real time I bet these haters would get a their share of true understanding of other ppl opinion. On the other thought, these guys would not say it in public.
[G1 Android Development] alapapa:
i, personally, have no problem with this being released...but your web host might. Also, your full name & (domestic) address in the whois makes you an easy target for a C&D.

If i were you, i'd put it somewhere else.

#justsayin
[G1 Android Development] bmfc187:
Wow, those are some pretty big words. too bad that you misspelled half of them, and the other half arent words AT ALL. "ANONIMICITY"?! YOU MEAN "ANONYMITY"...and "ZEALOT"...

AND WTF is THAT? Your grammar is ATROCIOUS. You are barely intelligent enough to get your point across effectively, and you come up here with big words that you OBVIOUSLY learned only 5 minutes ago, (Yes, the Internet IS a wonderful tool) and try to act like your smart cuz you can ramble off some bull****, that didnt even make any sense? It has nothing to do with copyright law, it has to do with what i feel my rights are as an owner of a Google Experience Device. And given my state of ANONYMITY, how do you know im not one of Cyanogen's top donors? I mean, im not, but i could be and you'd be none the wiser, you dont know me or anyone else here anymore than you know Andre the Giant so dont join a thread just to trashtalk people, if you have something useful to say say it, but if not then dont go runnin your mouth to people just so you can feel like one of the cool kids. maybe you should go find JOUSHOU and read his sig...wait here it is...

What He said!

Not only that but my argument was FOR Daveid doing this, NOT AGAINST IT. So why call me out to begin with? WTF?!

-BMFC
[G1 Android Development] bofslime:
I'm in full agreement with Joushou, There is nothing hard about flashing the most recent post C&D CGM rom, and thus there is no need for someone to repackage and distribute the software that which such distribution created the issue in the first place. CyanoganMOD was targeted because it was the most used, if ROM's such as this persist, then XDA itself could become under fire for allowing this to continue. You would have to be completely naive to think that google isn't aware of the other ROM builders redistributing software without licenses, its plausible to think that they're being nice by sending a msg (CGM C&D) in hopes that everyone else will follow suit.

Google likes that there is open source development, they just don't want their proprietary software being distributed unless its from official channels (to prevent unreleased versions from being released ahead of time).

To put it bluntly... the only people complaining about flashing methods, are non-contributing, non developers, ie.. users. There's a rom for users, it came with the phone and gets updated OTA.

Overall, ROM's like this (when a solution to legal Distribution has been worked out) are harmful to the development community, plain and simple.
[G1 Android Development] DAKIDD236:
who cares what all of you think??.. Let cyan tell him to stop posting his rom!

you guys are just hijacking this guys thread
[G1 Android Development] s0xpan:
amen to that; i dont post much but i download very often, if i have a question i ask but theres no REAL reason y people have to be so ignorant when it comes to someone helping someone else out

IF YOU DONT LIKE WHAT THIS DUDE DID FOR THE 4.1.999 GO ON THE THEME THREADS AND ***** AT PEOPLE TELLING THEM TO STOP MESSING WITH DEV's FIRMWARE lol
[G1 Android Development] mobile_mogul:
This is stupid as fcuk. Thank you daveid for the rom.

To everyone b!tch!ng about this being illegal:

Did you use Cyan's roms prior to the 99 builds?

YES? OMG! YOU BROKE THE LAW!!! Now STFU

Really guys, dont burn the guy for contributing. I've been flashing since my Kyocera 2119b and never once has it been legal.

Leave it to cyan / xda mods to decide if this rom can stay.

And once again, thank you daveid for making something perfect even easier to use.

Edit: Almost forgot to give props to where it belongs for the legal version. CYANOGEN, I owe you a beer...... or two. (As soon as I get another job, damn today's economy.)
[G1 Android Development] shivers316:
Another thanks from me. I already did it using the other method, but thanks for caring enough to help people that were having trouble. Guess what people? Not everyone can do everything. There's always gonna be people that just don't get it. *****ing about it on the internet won't change it, so save your coronary. It's called tolerance. I'm sure someone showed you the same courtesy at least once.
[G1 Android Development] brian_v3ntura:
this make things sooo much easier.... 1up for the OP
[G1 Android Development] djpingpong:
Thanks OP for this. I rooted my buddy's stock 1.5 myTouch to this ROM and everything works fine!
[G1 Android Development] All~G1:
Why does every thread in the DEVELOPMENT FORUM turn into sh*t!!! Most ppl here are junior/senior members acting like F*CKING NOOBS. The OP has stated that the if the two concerning parties want it to stop then he will take it down. XDA HAS NOT CLOSED THE THREAD AND IT WILL STAY HERE TILL EITHER PARTY SAYS TO DO SO. NO ONES OPIONS OR CONCERNS MATTER IN A "DEVELOPMENT" FORUM. IF IT WAS MEANT TO BE A DISCUSSION THEN YOU WOULD OF BEEN ASKED OR THERE WOULD BE A POLL AT THE TOP OF THE THREAD!!!

....STFU!!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] Joushou:
All~G1:

He updated the post since this discussion started.

Every thread is by nature meant as a discussion. A poll is not a discussion, but a poll.

Red text is intended to bring attention to certain parts of a post, but is just pissing everyone else off if used all over the place.

Combined with your upper-case post, and you not being bothered to write some of the words, makes you look like a total idiot.

To every other idiot here thinking DOWNLOADING this is illegal, you're wrong.

REDISTRIBUTING copyrighted work is illegal... Downloading isn't... That's why the music-industry got such a big problem protecting their work.

Everyone can download this, and they won't get hurt.

So don't give me the "If you used a homebrew ROM from here before cyanogen 4.1.99, you did something illegal! OMFGZ!" crap. And as i stated before, i brewed my own ROM's

David: Thanks for updating you post... And sorry for messing up your thread...

wddglr and bofslime: Thanks for backing me up. Thanks bmfc187, for backing me up in my fight against idiots! ;)

And some more to everyone:

Google can't attack us all, since we're not doing something illegal... The "dev's" (In quotes, as many of the rom's here have nothing to do with development, just simple replacements of files) are doing the illegal action of redistributing, and therefore David here would literally end up paying huge sums of money for every download you made... Google got a very strong case, as they already issued a warning to us.

They can't stop us from downloading, as that's not an illegal action, but they could easily make sure the distributers get screwed for so many money that they'll stop.

Oh, and to every person here on XDA, without a different opinion, of something to add to the discussion (A "OMFGZ, relax d00d, let im d00 da workz!!!" post is not something to add), please stay away from the reply button... Your post will not suddenly enlighten our darkened minds, or anything. (Look at my signature! >:|)

To the few taking their time to write their posts in this thread, thank you!
[G1 Android Development] futangclan:
Thank you for this. I wanted to try a Cyanogen build for a while, and this made it easy.
[G1 Android Development] anddep:
thanks joushou well put:p

i messed up on my nandroid backup and had the recovery img from htc deleted and didnt wanna wait til it download so this thread came in handy.. ahhh all in one thanks daveid
[G1 Android Development] HaloTechnology:
thanks man thats good idea if google didnt agree Cyanogen has othing with it

soo

good job man
[G1 Android Development] Cherice:
A big thank you to daveid! I have been watching for someone to bundle the update into one flash. Could I have done it the hard way? Absolutely. However, I had held off due to time constraints. This made it effortless and it flashed perfectly. Thanks again!
[G1 Android Development] dreamhunterr:
By the hard way you mean downloading one more file and pressing 3 more buttons? I mean, you don't even have to exit recovery...
[G1 Android Development] jusplainmike:
My own 2 cents..

I understand that you are only trying to help the community by making Cyanogen's latest rom more easily installable. The only problem I can see coming from this is future independence from these closed source "google experience" apps. What I have read from Cyan, it seems hes trying to help people get into development of android. One day I hope to see his roms google free with even better apps included. If someone stuffs his roms back with the very problem that caused this change in development, what good was the revolt? Not trying to flame or make you look bad. I'm really glad your helping bring the Cyanogen Experience to everyone who is having trouble, however, I would rather see people becoming more educated and involved in their rom of choosing.
[G1 Android Development] daveid:
All this does is allow people to use his builds in their current state, easier.

When he releases a build that overwrites any or all of the Google Proprietary bits, it will overwrite them for everyone who flashed using this method, or any method. This is just a stepping stone for newbs to get to 4.1.999, from there they can update via the usual path.
[G1 Android Development] jusplainmike:
With every release there will always be a new wave of "newbs" as you say. If they cannot download an extra file and double flash, how can they be expected to keep the upgrade process. With the next update your going to have to flash this rom first, so in sense, you are going to be doing what already has to be done just with an HTC image first.
[G1 Android Development] goatmonkey:
Spectacular!
[G1 Android Development] Lamar720:
Most of that ppl that seem to have the update problem with (ex. 4.1.11.1 to 4.1.999) cy's process are not noobs.

Yea, CY's steps are simple ... ez even but, this is not a perfect world some stuff just doesn't work as planned sometimes.

I have not even tried to update to 4.1.999 after reading all the problems. I will wait, but, all the OP of this thread is trying to do is help out.

Noob or not ppl in general are getting different results when updating to the latest and geatest.
[G1 Android Development] ekeefe41:
People...

All the developers here take from one another, this is what open source is.

Cyanogen is the only dev that is hand cuffed by a c&d letter, so what is the issue of someone taking his work and improving on it?

It is a simple fact that a 1 step install process is an improvement over a 2 step process. If Cyanogen was not held back by the c&d order HIS INSTALL PROCESS WOULD BE ONE STEP!

So stop with the trolling/hate.
[G1 Android Development] Thats BS:
As Coach Z would say- Good Jorrrrb!

If this was put up sooner maybe Cy's thread wouldn't be 100 pages of the same questions.:D

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] Joushou:
No, there would STILL be 100+ pages with the same questions ;)

There's no fun in reading the thread before posting! :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] All~G1:
-A developemnt forum by nature is NOT an OPEN discussion forum. Its for DEVs to have a place for other ppl to TEST their work for DEVELOPMENT, ie: test, bug report, add code, contribute!

-As I said a poll is not a discussion and since there is no poll on what the community thinks why are you, or anyone, placing opinions in this thread? Is anyone here google, cyan, or an XDA mod?

-Obviously I did it to get attention! Get off your high horse cause you are no one, nor am I, in this community

-You should take your own advice, seriously! GTFO of this thread as will I when you get the deal!

-Thanks to anyone who wrote their worthless opinion, including myself, in destroying yet another thread here on XDA. HOORAY!

Sorry Daveid, XDA, AC
[G1 Android Development] G1-evolve:
thx for this I Was needing it.. but its still laggy for some reason. =[
[G1 Android Development] :
what about the rename advice?

I blame this: on the lazy folks out there that don't wanna read.. its not ur fault though... its just the global system of education..

WTF, how hard it is to flash 2 zips... i still turn it round and round in my head and can't get an answer, to why a dev thread turn into 50+ pages of the same questions..
[G1 Android Development] erhan82:
just flashed, so far no problems. thanx for posting this, i wasn't about 2 do it all manually. you rock for saving us time like this. keep up good work:D
[G1 Android Development] Zerodime:
Its not har dto flash two zips (except for the guys who went bakc to non-root) but it seems some devices have several problems with cyans update method, i followed the manual to the letter but noone could help me with elivered logcat prints. (Can't get past the second reboot because the framework can't start)

Soemtimes it's not the people but the device, configuration, other circumstanzes. Don'T be so elite to not acnowledge problems when they are there.

OnTopic: The OP is the only one breaking any, if, laws (not that i'm 100% sure, but i'm not a lawyer) you cna't break the law when you download soemthing.

Personaly i think "do what you like, but don't come crying WHEN google brings out the big'uns"
[G1 Android Development] Thats BS:
Upgrade ext, clear dalvic, fix permissions.
[G1 Android Development] dglowen23:
WOW

im not a rude guy or anything so i want to say this in a nice way, it was a nice attempt, i downloaded this rom and litterally i cood listen to a whole 3 and a half minute song before the thing would go from one thing to another, i would click on sumthin and then half to wait for ever to go to the thing i clicked on, this was nice because im a newb and really dont know how to get the new cyanogen roms but i think ima jus find a new one

That was a bit rude and that was wut I was trying to prevent and I didn't do such a good jog at that, I'm sorry for that, this is a great rom I would just like to see sum more work on it but other then that it was great
[G1 Android Development] coolbho3000:
Don't forget, guys, that every time you (re)flash the radio, there is an inherent risk of bricking. The HTC update flashes the radio, and thus carries a risk of bricking the phone in case something goes wrong or the phone shuts off during installation.
[G1 Android Development] jonnybueno:
The "d" in XDA is for drama?

The only thing making this thread enormous is the constant bickering and your need to have the last word. I challenge you to

NOT

reply to this,

It's not that hard to flash twice, but I often add my own customizations and this helps me a lot. I like adding my own theme and themed apks into Cyanogens roms, but with this latest release, I found myself flashing 3 times in order to get everything themed. Tried merging HTC's recovery image, but ran out of time. So Daveid saved me some time by doing what I would've done anyway.

Big props Daveid! Thanks for putting this together! You didn't have to share, but you did, and I appreciate it!:D:D:D
[G1 Android Development] Marine6680:
That kind of attitude just aggravates me. I'm sure there are some true simple leeches out there complaining, but not all users can be programmers and developers. What you said is like saying someone can not go into an art museum because they are not artists, they can not go see the grand canyon because they are not geologists, etc, etc. Thats a selfish and elitist attitude.

I like this ROM, because now its easier to add my own changes and resign. It will also get rid of themes if I so wish to remove them. I hope that soon we can go full open source and dump the official google apps, but it isn't today.

Like was said every ROM but for Cyan's latest is illegal, but sometimes, the legal way just isn't as good. :p This thread has be going for a while with no ill effects from the MODs or Cyan himself so lets drop the "oh noez its illegal" crap. (now if google wants to weigh in, that may take a few weeks, but david will take the heat if and when)

Now for a real question.

I'm thinking, in theory, I should not need to wipe coming from cyan's 4.0.4. Anyone able to confirm this? I will probably flash this soon, and if I have any issues I can just wipe the phone, and they should go away. I hate wiping, it is a pain, even with backup for root. Every time I use backup, some or several apps start having fits and spasms. Thats even after they have updated and said in the notes that they are now compatible with backup for root.
[G1 Android Development] JoelOFH:
The point of the bickering is: If Google wakes up on the wrong side of the bed, they can easily prosecute the original poster (especially since he has said he knows what he's doing is illegal). They (Google) could also put more pressure on the developer community as a whole--we don't want this, obviously.
