[Q] Flashing Nightlies

I wanted to know a few things about flashing nightlies. I've been searching but not really getting my questions answered or finding a tutorial about nightly builds and they are pretty basic and hopefully someone will help me out.

First, do you have to flash the original ROM first or can you just flash the latest nightly and that will give you the newest version of the ROM?

Second, do I have to always create a nandroid backup before flashing a nightly?

Third, can you install a new nightly on top of an older one without erasing (dirty wipe)?

Lastly, can you downgrade a nightly? Say if it causes a noticeable issue can you go back to your previous nightly without full wipe or starting from scratch?

Thanks for any help. I am a noob so it would be really good to know this and be gentle lol :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
First no, second a good idea, third usually not, forth if you made a backup wipe clean and reinstall.

Would like to try and build a ROM

Okay, so I have a linux box, and have read all the related repo commands on this device (and also googled it) and I have a login to github.com and can see the Andromadus, Jerl92, etc. But no matter what init -u command I use it always seem to fail.

I did get

repo init -u https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b gingerbread

to download a bunch of stuff but it doesn't seem to have the product spec for 'vision'

Is there a more up-to-date guide on how to do this?

thanks

Hey brad, cm7 should have the vision source code in it, did you look in the devices folder? I take you ran repo sync but did you run . build/envesetup.sh ? What happens with breakfast or lunch?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradley_e_smith:
I got it (2 woots are in order)

For those that have tried and failed. I have just got it working. It took a while but I now have a booting CM7 ROM, which was created on my Oracle virtualbox running Ubuntu. Besides having issues with the repo command appearing to hang and seemingly taking forever in the end I had only 2 issues, which were:

zconf.h - needed to symbolic link it from the 64 include

msm_device_mute - needed to comment out some code. Not sure if this is correct but if you google this many have had this issue before.

Next up is to try a newer ROM and maybe help out with some of the work on our device. Many years ago (like 30yrs) I did UNIX kernel device work, so I am hoping I can help out. But the repo/github stuff is really new to me.

Thanks to those that have helped me.

1-Klick-Lösung: Einfacher geht’s nicht

Ein paar Klicks auf dem Smartphone, ein paar Klicks am PC - und schon ist CyanogenMod installiert. Wir sind positiv überrascht von dem CM Installer, denn einfacher lässt sich das ROM nicht flashen. Selbst Einsteiger können mit dem Tool problemlos umgehen und so die vorinstallierte Android-Version durch CM ersetzen.

How to install new android?

Hi all,

a hope that I didnt miss where to put my thread, and hope that you will manage to help me.

I have HTC Desire Z, which used to be slower and slower, so I would like to install brand new android OS on it.

The problem is that i live in small city and noone want to take my phone to deal with it.

So I hope that you can explain me how to do it my own.

My English is not really good, so i need some simple guide how to do it. If is that possible.

My software version is 2.3.3, so want same or better/higher. What is best for me, i dont know.

Thx a big time for any help! :)

Having installed this rom I can't get su to work. SuperUser works from within Android, I still have root and all that, but when I'm in an adb shell "su" just does nothing, just back to prompt, no root. To be extra double sure something didn't go wrong I even extracted the su from the zip and dropped it on my SD card to be run from there: same deal.

How can I get su to work? I've been running CM7 for years now, I don't think I remember having to do anything special but I could be wrong.

I been trying to get the most from this old phone for a few years now.

My work gave me a cheesy flip phone. I asked our phone tech if I could put the AT&T SIM card in my unlocked T-mobile G2 since it can't use AT&T's data, which I disabled on the phone anyway. He gave me permission.

I found an extremely stable version of 4.2.2 Jelly bean - CyanogenMod Unofficial.

(I know kitkat is out but honestly the ROMS i used seemed really laggy/buggy. Jelly Bean worked best for me)

Plus I liked this ROM because you can wake the phone by pressing the track pad and runs chrome and music.

Anyway I learned a few tricks to save power and speed up this phone while having a good battery life.

Please remember this phone only has a little over 350mb of RAM so it will never run like a brand new phone.

I used titanium backup to freeze and replace some of stock apps

froze gmail - installed mail droid (using mail droid for both my Gmail and my works Outlook based email)

froze stock launcher - installed nova launcher

froze stock email

froze movie studio

Remember since this is a low end device (now a'days) finding alt apps that use less ram is key.

There are a few apps I used as well to help speed up the phone. Remember try to keep app installs to a minimal and don't trust every speedup app out there.

Greenify

Seeder

CCleaner

No-frills CPU control

There were a few patches that helped as well

Turbo Boost MOD V3.03-AROMA.zip

Project MOD BOOST V4.8 Edition WcK.zip

User alt light weight keyboard

I am using Multiling keyboard.

Getting the right settings is also key!

-Keep widgets to as minimal as you can.

Weather is a necessary widget for me I use Go Weather EX which seems to keep resources the same when installed.

-SET WALLPAPER TO "No Wallpaper" I saw a huuuge improvement after doing this with battery life and responsiveness.

-Set Homes screens to 1 with no sliding effects

-Set app drawer to no effects

-Don't use any fancy animations

I am not sure if the following helped so much just the settings I am using

-Disable 16bit transparency

-Disable dithering

-zRAM 26%

-Allow purging of assets

-Disabled force GPU rendering and Force 4x MSAA

-kill app back button (extremely helpful)

As I stated I am using No-Frills CPU Control

Max 1.6Ghz

Min 1.0Ghz

Governor interactive

I/O deadline

This gives me a full day of use with normal amount of use till i have to recharge.

Tip to run chrome faster.

LG G2 ? Wrong forum man. This is for HTC G2 (Desire Z/Vision).

Guys, can you please tell me how I can do this on my ILWT CM7 ROM Vision:

I want a to become ą after pressing the FN+SPACE as in the example.

On my device the FN+Space just adds a space - the same for Shift+Space and Shift+Fn+Space

I've tried looking for a solution by fiddling with .kcm.bin file after decompiling it to .kcm and also in .bin form with HEX editor. Checked the .kl file too, but they are pretty much the same like the italian ones. Nothing significant reffering to FN+Space.

Where should I look for this?

Please reply.

I've asked this same question in all the appropriate threads and it has gone unanswered. Maybe its being ignored because the answer has already been posted, but I've been reading this forum and searching it everyday with no luck.

I used the old kernel for the temp root and had my phone OCed to 1.56ghz (I had the value for the kernel set to 80, cant remember if 1.56 is exactly right) and it was very stable. I'm using the bacon bits now and want to do the same thing.

Second question is more advanced. Can voltage be modified on the baconbits kernel like you could in the temp root kernel? I love OCing stuff and I'd love to see how far this phone will go.

What I'm asking for is a line I can edit in a file to add the speed my phone is stable at, or a string of commands for terminal.
