haven't had this happen to me.

Yea ... there's a few ways to get there ... like I previously mentioned ... I'll try in a few days to simplify the setup steps. :)

I saw this only once ... and it was b/c of Visionary not killing the rage properly. (I stopped using it b/c of this) ... are you using Visionary? ... or the 3-click terminal in the OP? Otherwise I haven't seen this with the 3-click terminal yet.

Otherwise in general the theme shouldn't cause any slowness. :/

definitely can't wait till u base this around visionary root ...that would be great

Yeah I started using it instead of so ill go back to the 3 click method thanks

VISIONary now double checks that all the ratc threads are killed, so this should no longer be an issue. :)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bonkasnucca:
is this interchangeable with other roms if we rename it to rom_update.tgz
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] enomther:
Um ... maybe ... didn't know another existed. :/

~enom~
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] enomther:
Yea ... I probably should have been more clear ... this was an issue I had on the initial Visionary and (r3) ... haven't had time to come back and check since all of your other revisions. :)

Love the rom good work getting this going . Was wondering if there is a way to run the desire Z rom like this , i would like to try out the new sense version and see how the preformance is and the new features . Would you be able to compile one from source or the ruu ? Please !!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tassan:
Please help

Hi

i really really want to try this rom. I did root my nexus one but it took me a while loved it...my question is can anyone walk me through step by step on how to get this rom im not fully understanding. please no smart Comments just your help if you can.

This is what i have so far:

im using windows 7

i did use visionary to temp root and that was successful

i do have sdk windows downloaded on my laptop

question: how exactly (layman's term) do you partition your sd card and What/Where exactly do you go to do it, is there an app for it.:o

question: when i push these commands where exactly im i putting them, do i put it in the sdk windows folder or do i hook up my phone to the laptop and hit cmd in search menu and input it there....or is there an app i download for that .:o

Just some detail STEP by step instructions on where to put these commands. If anyone has time thanks so much in advance:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mikey:
Check this video or use google or xda, for a different way.

[youtube]oyO6DOS1leQ[/youtube]

You dont put them anywhere, leaving them in the folder that gets created when you unzip.

Just make sure in the CMD window the path is directed to that folder.

The push command actually "pushes" "copies" them onto your phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] keenerb:
Am I the only android user out there who wishes we could boot Windows Mobile from SD card in a fashion similar to this?

:(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bonkasnucca:
well it doesnt right now but i wanted to see if i cud get the desire z shipping rom running using the kitchen
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] texasaggie1:
Maybe??

According to another post, the desire z rom WILL run on this phone. SOOOO... maybe you load that rom with it's sense and all to see if you like it, then do temp root and enomthers rom over the top of it. It's risky, but if I wanted to try out sense (I dont, I hate it) it's what I would do. The worst that could happen is that you brick your phone until root is found... :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mikey:
Yes.......dont hijack a thread ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] texasaggie1:
Version 1.2

This is an excellent, stable rom. I've only had one crash since I loaded the rom the day it came out.

Since this is the only rom out there for the G2 right now, I really wish you'd put out version 1.2/ I'm getting bored. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mikey:
Even if he doesn't make changes to it?? LOL

Like we would really care ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bled82:
That thread does not prove you can install the Z rom and there is no current instructions showing how to . I have tried the ruu and other listed methods but if you read around you will see that most agree that right now it can't be done .
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] enomther:
yea ... um ... your part of a very tiny group ... say of '3'. :p

No plans for that here ... I'm a winblows hater with a passion. :D

~enom~
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] enomther:
Thanks for the words ... and ...

Honestly ... I have no plans to upgrade this ROM at this point. ...

HOWEVER ...

This is mostly b/c my "TheOfficial" ROM is almost fully ported now ... is about 90% ... I expect to release this within a week. ... just FYI ... see Nexus1 ROM in my sig for a reference.

~enom~
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] enomther:
As far as a DesireZ ROM ... this is really not something I typically play around with ... we shall see how things unfold around these xda parts. :)

~enom~
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rUsTyRuSs:
This is probably a stupid question, but would it be possible to apply just certain things about the themed rom. Ie: black notification bar and maybe battery percentages via a script? I'm having issues using setuprom and startrom. Thank you in advance,

Russ
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] keenerb:
Very interesting work. I was unable to get your provided script to work, but I picked through the files and manually ran everything successfully through an ADB shell after using the one-click root exploit Visionary.

What astonished me is that my ADB shell wasn't terminated when the new rom loaded.

I'm really curious how this works. I see that we're rsyncing the current system/data folders, and remounting them from the SD card, which would only work if we're not actually rebooting into the new rom, since the reboot would wipe the remounts.

So, I guess the "magic" happens here:

# Start the ROM

(

# Stop base/booted ROM

stop;

# Start new ROM

start;

)

I assume that simply stops and restarts all the higher level Android graphical components?

Which would make this analogous to restarting your X server on a desktop linux environment?

And sadly, this also means we can't replace the kernel.

Please don't take this as criticism, though. What you've done is extremely cool, and I have learned a few things about Android.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bled82:
So does this now work with visonary and what do i need to run at terminal to get the rom started , ran startrom and it did not work was wondering if i need to change my path ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] keenerb:
I would stick with his provided scripts. I was able to get it to work with visionary but it requires a fairly high level of knowledge and familiarity with linux to do that.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fastludeh22:
You still have to push everything in the op, except the modded terminal. Then just type /data/local/tmp/setuprom. And /data/local/tmp/startuprom in a normal root prompt in term.

Edit: if you push startrom to /data/local/bin instead of normal place, you can just type startrom in term when ever you reboot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bled82:
Thanks that is what i was looking for !
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fastludeh22:
No prob. Read my edit above to make your life a little easier.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] RollingStar:
will this rom work on the Desire Z?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fastludeh22:
Try it and let us know, can't hurt anything. The hardware is close enough that that part should work, I think that the prob is gonna come from rsync and some things being different. Kind of like going from sense to aosp without wiping...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] RollingStar:
I'll try as soon as my Desire Z arrives... REALLY want stock Froyo, and I bought the Z banking on the fact that it would eventually be rooted so I could essentially turn it into a european G2.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jaymn88:
Okay first off sorry this is a retard question but I can't figure out how to partition my sd card w/o root/custom recovery
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] enomther:
There is no such thing as stupid questions here :) ... but do keep in mind this is very premature ... I have better things in the works ... and hopefully more "user-friendly" too ...

but regardless ... you'll have to be able to figure out how to partition your sdcard through Google-FOO ... you can find it ... just got search diligently :D

and be aware that themes by and large won't/aren't going to be available till enough G2 users adopt this painful style of extXfs-sdcard-based ROM ..... and/or ... we finally get a permanent rooting method with at least a valid recovery image.

Till such times ... it is what it is. :)

~enom~
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] enomther:
Excellent ... and def not taken as criticism :) ....

As far as your assumption ... yea ... it could be likened to restarting X ... 'cept X is a GUI window manager .... and stop/start here ... actual restarts *most* of the java-dvm-userland ... would be likened to booting into single usermode vs multi-user in *nix OS's.

As far as the kernel ... you're correct ... not yet anyways. :/

:)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] keenerb:
Just in case anyone was wondering, you CAN'T just take a system dump from the sense-enabled Desire-Z rom, mount it, and get it to work with these directions.

I gave it a shot last night. Froze the phone, which was completely unsurprising.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bled82:
Question for enomther i was looking to run debian or ubuntu on your rom and was following the instructions at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=811765 and was wondering where i should put my image file so it can be read by the instructions , i was thinking on system or data because that is the ext3 that we made technically right ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amack10:
Can I push all the files to the directories with root explorer instead of adb and run the chmod comands in terminal or does it have to be thru adb. I would love to install but have no compputer. This works with the oc module to?

Edit

Well I just did it any way and ran the commands thru terminal then uninstalled it did everything I need to do but when I run start rom it won't mount to the ext3. I'm using the same card I partitioned off with an ext3 fpr app2sd for a rom on my mts. I don't think I wiped the ext before putting it in my g2 can I do that from terminal and is that the prob
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tassan:
Mikey1022 thanks!!!!

thank you so much to MIKEY1022 for all your help I watch the video and instructons you gave it i understand a little better now.....

i used visionary one click app my phone is partitioned an this is where im stuck her please view attachment and let me know if anyone can help.

what im i doing wrong PLEASE HELP THANKS:confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ceyad:
same with above
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fastludeh22:
If your using visionary, few steps differ from op.

Skip pushing su ans superuser.apk.

push rest of files, except use this for startrom "adb push startrom /data/local/bin"

Do not install terminal from here, install from market.

If for some reason ROM_update.tgz won't push to sdcard, just mount sdcard and copy over.

One time setup, type in term root prompt "/data/local/tmp/setuprom"

Then from then on type "startrom" from root prompt in term.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tassan:
Ok thanks soo much

so close yet so far:mad:

I'm on the last step, i type in startrom and it says "stop: not found start:not found".

When I type in setuprom in the previous step it says installation successful.

it says to enter startrom i do nd it say stop not found
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
Is anyones sdcard saying read only from this rom and suddenly losing contents like pics?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] texasaggie1:
Could you write a tutorial?

Hey man. You did an AWESOME job on this ROM. It doesn't look like perm root is coming anytime soon... So... I was wondering if there would be anyway you could write a tutorial for us to cook roms like you did this one???

Seriously, with roms like yours, i can cope if we never get perm root. It's fast, stable, and persistently rooted. Sure, we cant mess with the kernel, but crap, mine is clocked at 1.4Ghz. Personally, I never got much return from custom kernels.

We need a tutorial. What say you? (*cough*pleaseplease*cough*)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EuroSpeed:
Question: What went wrong?

I'm on the last step, i type in startrom and it says "stop: not found start:not found".

When I type in setuprom in the previous step it says installation successful.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] texasaggie1:
I had the SAME problem. I never figured out WHY but konrad1337 gave me the following steps that solved the problem for me:

1) cd /data/local/tmp

2) mkdir mmc_sys

3) mount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 mmc_sys

4) cd mmc_sys

5) tar -xzf /sdcard/ROM_update.tgz

6) cd /

7) then run setuprom once again as per enmother's instructions and it will ask if you want to overwrite ROM, just say no and continue with the walk through.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] texasaggie1:
Yikes! I see where you are coming from. I hope we get root soon. I would still like to know how to do what u did. I could see me porting the desire z rom using using your method. And some pretty cool themes too. So if you have to get off the G2 maybe you could pass on some knowledge to me lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
I repartitioned and reformatted my card but when I typed setuprom it said invalid mount or unable to mount /mmcblkp3 or something I can't remember and now my rom and phone are super slow there's lag

Also I have all 3 partitions and I used the G1 to partition them then converted them to ext3 using pclinux disk commander.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EuroSpeed:
Thank you. It worked.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tassan:
did you put these commands on the computer cmd or in the terminal app on the phone
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EuroSpeed:
On the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tassan:
i put in these commands step by step this is what i get:mad:

1)not found

2)mkdir failed read only file

3)mount no such file

4)cant cd to mmc

etc

The phone was Not plugged up to my computer when i put these command on terminal app does that matter

please any suggestions HELP
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] texasaggie1:
root first

It sounds like you don't have root yet. Try downloading "visionary" from the market. Run it once or twice until it says your device is already rooted.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] konrad1337:
Yea make sure you are seeing # in terminal when trying to run these commands and that there isn't a $ instead (which would mean you aren't rooted).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fastludeh22:
Did you follow my steps? Where did u push startrom to? If you pushed it to op spot you will have to type "/data/local/tmp/startrom" if you pushed to /data/local/bin like I said it should work with just startrom, but you can try "/data/local/bin/startrom" once. This all needs to be from root (#) prompt. Make sure to type su in term (after running visionary) before typing the pervious commands.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] enomther:
Well ... it was a *long* post ... to summarize ... the point I was making was ...

if the intended ROM to port is not really really close to stock ... (like this one) ... you're going to need to control the full-init-process, which I haven't quite cracked just yet.

This is especially true with a ROM port like a DesireZ type.

So what I'm saying is ... that there really isn't a whole lot of knowledge to transfer here ... b/c this method is only functioning b/c it's sooo close to stockG2. :/

~enom~
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dro_6o:
It works after 2 hrs troubleshooting

Thanks for the tips.... anyone havin trouble gettin past the last step try rebooting, start terminal n before u type in startrom to get "stop: not found start:not found" AGAIN. ..... type the 7 steps konrad 1337 suggested.. :D took me awhile to figure it out when exactly u need to type them. thanks again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fastludeh22:
Do we have any control of the init process? Can we get a usa user.init working on "boot". I know that's not the same init you were referring to, but thought it might be similiar.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SuperDave81:
Big ups to enomther, this themed rom is awesome. I also was greatly helped by those 7 steps, they should be added to the OP for us visionary users. Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
OK so after repartitioning my sdcard with the 3 partitions this is my output now mind you I had it working before, but it started acting crazy and I was losing pics and it kept saying read only mode.

Ok got it to boot but now it says mkdir failed mmc_sys exists. but it boots up and it seems ok not as fast as stock could be just me though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tassan:
THANKS everyone!!!

Thank you ENOMTHER for this great Rom...Thanks to MIKEY1022, Fastludeh22 , Konard1337,Texasaggie, and Eurospeed for helping me out. Just needed to figure out where to put things and with everyone's help it worked thanks so much.

I have a question: I've noticed that mad people have that camera icon in their status bar. What is that?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdTeach1680:
so i am getting "uninstall com.android.term: permission denied" when i try to uninstall terminal before the reinstall, any thoughts?

edit: so I entered adb shell and su, got root prompt "#" and ran "pm uninstall com.android.term" from there, cd back to sdk\tools and ran adb install Term.apk and returned with "Failure {INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT]"

what now?

edit again: I got past the Term.apk install and now I'm stuck again. I got as far as the rom is installed but I run "startrom" and get

"#stop: not found

start: not found" then all kinds of fc's and then phone freezes and have to take battery out....

edit: GOT IT! used a combo of

You still have to push everything in the op, except the modded terminal. Then just type /data/local/tmp/setuprom. And /data/local/tmp/startuprom in a normal root prompt in term.

if you push startrom to /data/local/bin instead of normal place, you can just type startrom in term when ever you reboot.

from fastludeh22 and

1) cd /data/local/tmp

2) mkdir mmc_sys

3) mount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 mmc_sys

4) cd mmc_sys

5) tar -xzf /sdcard/ROM_update.tgz

6) cd /

7) then run setuprom once again as per enmother's instructions and it will ask if you want to overwrite ROM, just say no and continue with the walk through.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SuperDave81:
Yes, this ROM is no longer compatible with the new OTA. Enomther is working on it per a reply to me on twitter.

if possible can anyone teach me how to use ADB??? sorry for the inconvenience guys but i appreciate the work and effort you guys put into the developments

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tehseano:
Great work on the ROM, but I just can't seem to get it working. I've read every post here, nothing works.

How would I go about uninstalling/removing/undoing whatever's been done?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] touchpro247:
Now after running startrom. It saids "mount: mounting /dev/block/ mmcblk1p2 on" It just reboots but, nothing happens. Just reboots to the Stock rom. What should I do?

Edit: I got it to work after running konrad1337 7 steps. Then right after I typyed /data/local/bin/startrom from fastludeh22 post (Instead of running "startrom"). The phone rebooted to the Stock rom. Then I powered off the unit and removed the battery. Powered it back on then ran "startrom".

Thanks! :cool:

before i do this i just had a few questions,

i know there is ways to partition the SD card, to my knowledge this erases the entire SD card, correct? so am i supposed to save all the files off of it first them put them back on? when the SD card is partitioned into 3 different sections, FAT32 and EXT3 and EXT3 where would i drop the copied files from the SD card?
