The sprint website says "security update". No other details. Someone please pull the image so we can figure out what to do about it.

Might kill root. Idk. Stay safe..lol

Found what I think is the update in /cache. Working on getting it uploaded somewhere.

I take that back. I can't seem to figure out how to get the file out of /cache TO somewhere else using File Expert.

You have to go into File Expert's options and check allow root access for it to request root permissions. Otherwise it will run as a normal app.

EDIT: On a side note, I updated my first post to show the kind of battery life I'm getting out of PhoeniX 0.2. Keep in mind, I'm not heavily using apps, texting, or anything. Just normal, occasional phone use. At the time of the screenshot, my battery was around 15% remaining.

I set it to request root permissions (and granted those permissions), but no matter what I do, (attach to email, upload to Dropbox) nothing works.

Even tried copy/pasting it to the SD card... no dice.

If you guys would like a Video Review of PhoeniX ROM, I'm willing if you think it would help at all! Also if you want a laugh, poking fun at the iphone, I made a little Xtranormal video:

So what's the verdict?? Bad update?? Good update that'll be included with the new version?? Has anyone managed to capture it??

Edit: Are there any plans, if it can be done, to add the normal android toggles in the pull down menu?

Also, what about apps2ext for more app install space?

Any plans?

Dunno what you mean by the toggle in the pull down menu, but I already posted about extra app space and that I'd post how for you soon. I'm working things out. So far no one has uploaded the update for me yet.

The dropdown menu where your notifications go is where I'm talking about.

And what's up with the extra app space?

I'll post the update as soon as it hits my phone, if no one else has yet.

I just reflashed mine and I haven't gotten it.

And is there a way to get more options in the power menu?? Like a restart, maybe a reboot recovery/download modes??

Just asking.

I'm kind of anxious for data2ext as well :P I just got a 16 gig Class 10 SD card just for that reason.

I've never seen any buttons in the notifications area. This is the first Android phone I've ever had, and I've only had it since May, so I'm locked in till May 2013. As far as I'm concerned, that will require hacking up another apk from a phone that has it, and then adding it into ours. What kind of buttons are there for other phones?

The extra app space is working, but I'm not giving you guys the tutorial yet because my phone literally fails to boot every other time. Then, every other boot works. That's hardly something release worthy.

That would also require hacking up apk's. I am most concerned with getting you guys a stable and and well performing rom before hacks. Once I sort out these my last few known issues, I'll be releasing 0.2b and then moving on to learning how to add some nice features. We're also very close to getting a working kernel thanks to dmrlook.

And no worries about any of it. I'm just glad 1 of the few roms we have works amazing. I'm very pleased with how it is now. Was just wandering.

[firehak]

That would actually be nice to have, I'll probably look at it once I'm done with 0.2b to fix some bugs.

I've been using Android since the G1 came out and have never had a phone NOT have it..lol

What can I say, I'm a newbie just getting started here. :P

and your doing an awesome job...Whats the easiest way to go back to stock?? I'm gonna try to snag the update that way.


Edit: Running Odin now to get back to the unrooted GB and try to snag the update for ya'll. Will post back with what happens.

Flashing stock won't let you because the images do not contain a /cache partition. Your cache is still ext4 formatted and therefore failing to boot when flashing back to anything prior to PhoeniX 0.2. I will have to create a "back to stock" package for you guys. It should be significantly smaller than odin images and use CWM to do it. Relax on the security update. I'm not worried about it at the moment unless we have some gaping security hole.

I flashed to the unrooted GB odin package, but I have no data..is that why???

No, those images include the full data partition just after a factory wipe. It over-wrote your data, that's why. /cache is the only affected partition. When I release the new stock images I'll update my website post, the new images will fix the issues my old stock images had.

How should I format my ext and swap partition when I format my sdcard in recovery??

[firehak]

I haven't released it yet because of my issues.. Choosing format in recovery right now will just keep the ext4 format. Or if you wipe an rfs partition, it stays rfs. If you'll just wait I'll have an easy update.zip for stock and stock pre-rooted soon. No more ~175MB downloads now that I can script installations.

Like I said, I'm in no rush for the new update, unless you're actually wanting a way back to stock? I'll have it soon enough. Plus I'm on my new connection, so no more waiting hours to upload fixes.
