Anyone getting errors when trying to create a backup, it always fails at the last step of generating the md5
[myTouch 4G Android Development] HeavyComponent:
Go into recovery and do it. Works fine for me that way.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] GentMAB:
That's what I'm doing.....tried it three times and nothing
[myTouch 4G Android Development] HeavyComponent:
Have you tried from ROM Manager?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] GentMAB:
Crashes in recovery once it gets to the end the same way directly from recovery
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sykopompos:
Rom manager wouldn't work since it is not a supported recovery. Try reflashing cwm3glacier recovery. Btw I think I am gonna check the recovery being built with the latest source (don't think anything has changed but...) and update on the host if needed
[myTouch 4G Android Development] GentMAB:
Yeah rom manager doesn't even begin the process it just dies, I will try reflashing but if I can't backup le sigh
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sykopompos:
I don't have a mt4g to troubleshoot or debug why it is not working for you but it sounds like a script might be corrupted in your recovery
[myTouch 4G Android Development] KenpoAP:
Hey sure, sorry if this is not what your talking about but I start having some issues with gapps with the 10 am file. Apps won't install at all. Do 2 full wipes, reinstall. Use rom manager and directly from recovery, no luck! I'm back at cm6. Something relate to what your talking about here?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] GentMAB:
That sucks, oh well back to cm 6 I go, I do too much flashing to not have a backup and have to keeeeeep on setting everything back up
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sykopompos:
The 10am build seemed to be fine, doing wipes actually break the gapps even worse. It seems to be a problem with the gtalkservice (what is responsible for auto-sync) and phone signal was wild all over the place so similar but seem more intensified. If it continues with the next build I will investigate more into it. Rom manager will not work with a unsupported recovery so it is worthless to even try
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dave5777:
Mine worked fine in recovery. Try flashing your recovery in fastboot again maybe rom manager flashed it back to 2.5...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] KenpoAP:
So the wipe brake my gapps? What's next? Try again without a wipe? Terminal was fine with me. I flash the recovery and all. Do you recommend a new try our just wait for the next build?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sykopompos:
I will compile a new build in the morning around 8am'ish est since the most new commits have been coming in at night
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
Yeah, i didn't see anything new really. Never wiped any my gapps are fine, but i dont see anything different about the power widget. No point in releasing one tonight.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
This is very cool, will flash tomorrow.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cdw9800:
yeah lets make it a morning thing hmm need a catchy name

edit: on another note i was thinking of installing linux on my pc (dual boot) which one is the best? cant seem to get adb to work updated pdanet sdk etc
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sykopompos:
Ubuntu 10.10 is a good choice which I have a guide on how to setup a working build enviroment. Mint linux which is based off of ubuntu is a fan fav but not to my liking
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sykopompos:
I see new commits coming in already, they will most likely get the most activity around 3am (check your bro tips, it is in there) so morning builds seem to be working out best plus it stops me being bored at work
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kfgtboypsp:
Anybody know how to change the boot animation on this rom? There's no system/resources/customize folder. Or someone can tell me where to navigate me to the right folder. Thanks.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cdw9800:
hmm ok i give it a try link to your guide?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] GentMAB:
I might go back to messing with it later on, but I dont think it ever let me backup, would it have anything to do with my sd card being partitioned?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] aznpr1de808:
i have windows 7 dual booted with Ubuntu 10.10 and so far its awesome i spend 99% of my time using ubuntu more than windows tho lol it takes awhile to get use to tho its totally different if you have been using nothing but windows but the plus side of it is that its great for scripting and shell cmds also with linux this rom still lets your phone usb mounts your sd card unlike windows lol :D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] theomajigga:
Wake-n-Bake Gingerbread.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] stratax:
did you try what i said a couple pages back? tek said it worked. it did for me as well. also, if i were you (especially if you dont have much HD space) dont dual boot, you have to partition and that space you split "stays" spil until you format. not sure if you already knew that. i did it and it made my computer slower, and couldnt regain my space without formatting lol. its up to you though.

also there is a program called VMware that lets you set up a virtual machine while logged into windows.. no need to partition, log of and log on, etc. they have alot of youtube videos on it. :) i used it to experiment with mac os, and linux, runs good as well.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cdw9800:
i like it its a lil long tho
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cdw9800:
i seen tho post ill look over it but ubuntu allows you to install it as a program also my drive is spilt into 3 and i have one free so yeah im prepared thanks tho i been thinking about reading up on n building roms linux would make my life easier for that
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cdw9800:
nice specs ima run ubuntu for now see how that goes thanks for the suggestion im going to keep it in mind

Get ADB working with some simple steps

Ok so I got the MT4G to pick up in ADB with some very easy steps.

First off I run Windows 7 and I already had the drivers installed from before.

1. Right click on My Computer, go to Properties.

2. Go to Device Manager

3. Find your Android 1.0 device (Yellow Exclamation Point), right click on it and select Update Driver Software

4. Then select Browse My Computer for Software

5. Then choose Let Me Pick which driver to install on the bottom.

At this point you should see Android ADB Interface driver at the top. Windows will give you some stupid message like this driver isn't designed to work for your device, INSTALL IT ANYWAY!

It will install and your device will show up as Android ADB Interface now, then go to your command prompt and check ADB Devices. You should see your serial# now and be good to go!

Hope this helps, it worked for me in less than 5mins after finding out I couldn't access ADB when flashing CM7.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] snazzymasta:
Something y'all might want to be aware about for the near future:

@kmobs

Yay for screen off animation for GB on the mytouch.

So it will work eventually...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] warpjavier:
Well, I pulled the files from the cm 6.1 released in the Dev section and now works.

Thanks guys!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] epsix:
ADB works fine,the problems we're having is that winX does not recognize sdcard when mount.I have to uninstall HTC driver then it'll recognize the sdcard but once i reinstall HTC driver it would'nt. Can you solve this problem?

Thank you
[myTouch 4G Android Development] oc3rulz:
I know ADB works fine, I saw a bunch of poeple posting that they couldn't get ADB working so I posted how to, trying to help them.

The USB Mounting has me confused as well, I have tried several drivers but honestly gave up because I have SDCARD reader in my netbook. So I can access anything I want. I know it attempts to mount then instantly closes, which is very confusing. I am gonna try a new driver from HTC here shortly. Then report back
[myTouch 4G Android Development] oc3rulz:
Confirmed usb mount working!!

I have CM7 installed and I just got Windows to recognize the SDCARD via USB Mounting!!!!

Now again I am using Windows 7 so the steps are almost exactly the same. I literally just changed the device to a USB Mass Storage device and it worked!

Lol after trying so many drivers and it being the generic driver makes me angry. Here's what I did.

1. Right click on My Computer, go to Properties.

2. Go to Device Manager

3. Find your My HTC (should be the second one Android USB Device), right click on it and select Update Driver Software

4. Then select Browse My Computer for Software

5. Then choose Let Me Pick which driver to install on the bottom.

6. Then choose USB Mass Storage Device

Then it takes some time to think and viola! All working! However we are not DONE!

EDIT: So the next step I did after experienced issues remounting after unplugging the phone. I have change the MTP to ADB Testing Interface and things seem to be mounting everytime. Rebooted phone and PC, both worked again so I think this may be a working solution.

Now go to MTP.

1. Right click on My Computer, go to Properties.

2. Go to Device Manager

3. Find your MTP (should be under Unknown Devices), right click on it and select Update Driver Software

4. Then select Browse My Computer for Software

5. Then choose Let Me Pick which driver to install on the bottom.

6. Then choose Google Inc. and the Driver is ADB Testing Interface.

ENJOY!

Should I start a new thread for this? If so do I post this in Android Development?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] epsix:
Everyone, press the thank you button for this man he solve the problem with CM7 W00t!!!! thank you,thank youLD
[myTouch 4G Android Development] HeavyComponent:
I don't see anything that says unknown devices nor MTP.

EDIT: I just turned on my USB and it worked anyway. :D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] oc3rulz:
Well after installing CM7 I got both of those.

However you can start by uninstalling the MT4G(uninstall whatever is listed under Android Devices.

Then disconnect it. Then reconnect it, it will prompt you it's installing something, then use the guide I posted. Honestly you can do it in any order, since I actually installed the ADB Testing Interface first for the MTP. Then did the My HTC, USB Mass Storage. For whatever reason this works everytime and I am sticking with it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] HeavyComponent:
Well ADB recognizes the phone anyway and USB works so I'm good. Thanks! :p
[myTouch 4G Android Development] oc3rulz:
good enough for me! :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cdw9800:
thanks for the fix had too uninstall the drivers and reinstall them seems to be fine anyone ever find out how to get the new market working the one not themes blue?

edit: after a phone reboot it stops working
[myTouch 4G Android Development] HeavyComponent:
Nevermind it works when it wants to. I'll do this later, I have to go to work. Thanks though!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] oc3rulz:
Yeah that's why I had to figure out the MTP part as well. It was very intermittent without the MTP being changed to ADB Testing Interface, after I got that taken care of though, it mounts everytime.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cdw9800:
and how did MTP show up on your pc because im not seeing it at all
[myTouch 4G Android Development] oc3rulz:
I uninstalled ALL ANDROID devices. Then plugged the phone back in, then MTP and Android 1.0 popped up.

That's how I got it, it did not show up the first time I plugged in the phone. I think I may have changed USB ports as well.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cdw9800:
yeah i tried all of that oh well i guess
[myTouch 4G Android Development] oc3rulz:
well let me go tinker some more. Seeing what happens on a different PC.

Did you uninstall the USB Mass Storage Device as well?

Ok so double checked and Both Mytouch4G and MTP pop up under Other Devices, with no drivers found for either.

Then I just do what I posted and it works great......why can no one else see MTP. I know for a fact that it has been talked about in this thread before.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] eleeo037037:
+1 worked perfect thanks for this also :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] oc3rulz:
For the market just download the vending.apk file you want.

Then in ADB type: adb install -r /to/path/vending.apk

It's installs just fine for me, market 2.2.7
[myTouch 4G Android Development] :
USB mass storage and adb here too with previous instructions for windows 7 :-D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sykopompos:
Morning everyone,

Just got to work and started compiling. G2 is first on list, if it goes fine then I will compile next for you guys and upload.

Btw stats from the ftp. Of all builds of all devices I have been building for is 12,948! That is just crazy and you guys are the top most downloaded device!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] soukie:
Good morning. keep up with your good work, I have been follow this thread sine the beginning, I have to say this is the best rom i have use to date. stable, smooth, fast....
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
im repo syncing now and then I'll start building. We'll see who finished first. lol.

Im looking at the repo though, and I dont see many new commits.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kelbers:
The camera on the 10am is taking pictures 90 degrees rotated. Other than that working great even without the 2.27 market

Edit: after I started the camera app a second time all is well.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
8am build compiling.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sykopompos:
My build is already finished but gapps are screwy again. I think it has something to do with the build.prop overrides I made. I reverted my changes and am building again
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sykopompos:
Also I was considering turning on SIP/Voip on 3g/not limited to wifi in the next build after this one for you guys if you like (this will not be in the build compiling now)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sykopompos:
There was almost nothing commit wise and gerrit didn't really have anything worthwile on it either
[myTouch 4G Android Development] thatguy13:
+1 this worked perfectly... thanks a ton
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lednib:
+1 Going through the install process for pdanet on windows 7 worked for me, too, on 2 different machines.

Now I've got adb and USB Mass Storage working just fine.

(It's things like this that make me miss linux.)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
wubi. You can have the best of both worlds, without even trying.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sykopompos:
Alright, got working builds again. The error failing on previous build that I didn't upload where my fault so in the meantime a new build with all the latest commits will be up in a few minutes
[myTouch 4G Android Development] joshk6656:
where is the best place to view the commits? i've tried looking at github but I couldnt find a place to view the whole projects commits, i could only see each branch
[myTouch 4G Android Development] KenpoAP:
I see a new glacier cwm image. Do we need to flash the new one to replace the old one?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
Try r.cyogenmod.com
[myTouch 4G Android Development] GentMAB:
I hope it is a new one because the current one keeps giving me an error while doing a backup on the md5 sum so I can't even use nandroid on 3.0 :(

Until I can get that fixed it might not be a rom for me to use
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
Are you trying to backup through rom manager or recovery? you need to do it directly from recovery.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
You dont have to, but it couldn't hurt.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] GentMAB:
Thats where I was doing it, even on a fresh flash from fastboot and fresh install, keeps failing on the md5
[myTouch 4G Android Development] KenpoAP:
Hey sir, greetings! Do we need to flash the new recovery, then the new build?

Edit. Sorry bad timing! Thanks for the answer!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Scoop24:
I keep trying to flash the recovery through terminal but it tells me file not found.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
OP updated with link to newest build.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sykopompos:
This is a more up to date recovery, is there anything new in it, personally I don't know but the other one was a couple days old so I figured let's put a up to date one out there. If you need it then grab, if not you can most likely pass on it
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sykopompos:
I truthfully just watch cyanogen's github or just watch on twitter with @cmsrc
[myTouch 4G Android Development] hardcore88:
Did you unzip it first?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Scoop24:
Yea I did. I put it on the root of the sd card. I enter this command

" flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img "

And I get "flash_image not found"
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sykopompos:
Flash_image is a binary in /system/bin I sure hope that is there. Did you su first?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] hardcore88:
unless you renamed it to recovery.img, thats not the name of the file you downloaded... either rename it to recovery.img or type in the right name.. its like cwm3 and some more stuff...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Scoop24:
I did Su and got the superuser permission.

So I should put the file in /system/bin ?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Scoop24:
I downloaded the file thats in the OP its already named recovery.img
[myTouch 4G Android Development] thatguy13:
Is there a change log availible for this CM7 rom yet? i cant seem to find it when searching... could be lack of sleep and my plain being dumb.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
flash_image not found means that it cant find "flash_image", hasn't even tried to read the recovery file at that point. Make sure its in /system/bin/
[myTouch 4G Android Development] hardcore88:
Oh, ok I thought you were trying to flash the new one... sorry. I just flashed it through terminal and it worked fine for me.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] KenpoAP:
You guys said that the wiping do something with the gapps! I'm trying this now! I need to do a full wipe or just flash it over my current rom wiping the cache and the dalvik alone?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] scrubsja:
is the wireless tethering app included in this new 12/29 8am build? any new cm parts? is the trackpad wake issue resolved?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] hardcore88:
I have only wiped the cache for the most recent build... every other one i have flashed right over the existing one and i havent had any issues at all..
[myTouch 4G Android Development] KenpoAP:
Only a recap...

Flash the rom in recovery

Flash the gapps

Then reboot

......???
[myTouch 4G Android Development] KenpoAP:
Don't wanna do nothing wrong! Last time lost the market

Sorry to bother!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] GentMAB:
New Recovery

I don't know what is working better with the new recovery, but I am glad that it now works on doing backups for me!!!! whoo hooo I'm back snitches!!!!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Scoop24:
There isnt a recovery file in /system/bin/ is there a way I can add it in ?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] HeavyComponent:
I'm on break at work and I see that there is a new update. Change log?

Keep up the great work guys!

Sent from my HTC Glacier
[myTouch 4G Android Development] AndroidFeens:
Can we get a changelog everytime u update?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sykopompos:
Wireless tether is a native froyo introduced feature, look in settings under wireless setting (usb tether not working yet) only new cm part is the power control widget, no trackpad wake yet. These are builds to get gingerbread stable and are just build from cm7 source hence the new change cause people were getting confused
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sykopompos:
I will work on getting you guys a change log.... on the next one maybe
[myTouch 4G Android Development] hardcore88:
yessir... as long as you already have the 3.0 recovery...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] KenpoAP:
Gracias! Doing it now! See you guys and report! Ha!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
So if you try and use the flashlight on the new power widget, it turns the screen white instead of using the led.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sykopompos:
No no no, the flash_image.bin is in the /system/bin/ you don't wanna be adding anything to that folder.

If you are trying to load a recovery then it needs to be on your sdcard to flash it and you need to type in the exact name of the .img (case senistive) or it won't flash.

Now the only way that you are not able to flash it is because you are not rooted or running a rom that does not include a flash_image.bin, either way following a rooting guide will get you in the right direction in either case
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
For a change log, just follow cmsrc on twitter and watch the cyanogen github.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] scrubsja:
Thanks Thatguy32404, in your opinion is this alpha build at the stage where it can be used as a daily driver?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
I've been using them daily since we started building them. Everything works. Some aps dont, but thats on the app devs, not these roms.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Scoop24:
Ok I dont have that file in the folder. Im rooted but still have stock rom. Ima flash cm6. Then try and flash through that rom. Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sykopompos:
I run them daily as is, everything I need works and they are pretty stable right now
[myTouch 4G Android Development] hardcore88:
Quick question, when you flash recovery using terminal command su flash_image recovery, is it supposed to give you results like fastboot does when you fastboot flash recovery? Mine just went back to the # prompt and since there was no output and recovery doesnt look any different, I dont know if it was successful.. thanks in advance..
[myTouch 4G Android Development] KenpoAP:
Where is the market? Don't know what's happening?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sykopompos:
If it tells you nothing then that means it worked! Linux isn't too friendly with telling you things unless you tell it to
[myTouch 4G Android Development] hardcore88:
Thank you... you guys are doing awesome work.. Its much appreciated.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] KenpoAP:
Can't find it nowhere! Can't install it from nowhere! App not installed! That's all I get! Lost¡
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gbzbar:
It will use the LED if you have the Torch.apk in /system/app/.

I used the one from CM6.1, and it works perfectly.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] KenpoAP:
There's a htcvendor.zip. What's that? Something to do with the market? Love the Rom but can't find what the problem is.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] KenpoAP:
When I first replace the market in cm6 there was a zip file somewhere. I flash it and Viola! I'm super lost?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
Thanks. I had the n1 torch installed from the market. Guess its named differently. Working now. Thanks.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] KenpoAP:
Only thing I need is my market! Need help!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] hardcore88:
did you flash gapps? if so, try to reflash...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dorqus:
I just flashed the b#12 release, wiped dalvik cache, wiped cache, installed zip file, rebooted, no issues. Thank you for making this painless. I didn't notice any differences (so far, it's just been a few minutes), but everything seems to be working so far.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] KenpoAP:
Reflash reboot still no market! I'm gonna start crying!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
The only noticeable difference is the power widget.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
Are you reflashint the cm7 zip, or the gapps zip? Do you have gmail and maps?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] hardcore88:
I just extracted the vending apk from the gb gapps and added it to my last post... hope it helps
[myTouch 4G Android Development] eleeo037037:
Thanks this is just what I needed.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] snazzymasta:
Confirming that the CM6 Torch also works for me on an ADB push.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dorqus:
Ah I am not using the power widget.
