the zImage and modules go in device/lge/thunderc_model/files/kernel if i remember correctly

Hey guys I'm going to need some help. In my ROM the animations are dreadfully slow. It's ridiculous and not usable by any means. Where are the files needed for animations? Preferably in the build directory.

You should probably specify which of your roms you are talking about there's so many!

After realizing what I have doing wrong with BacksideUpdter.apk finally got it working, there is one small problem. What was the working around for Root Browser, as it seems to have problems?

[SIZE="2"]E: in sdcard cannot mount /mnt/sdcard/download/[/SIZE]

 

[rukin5197]

Another question. How do I pull in changes that aren't from my or my person that I synced from (In this case, AOSP). Like, I want to pull in this commit https://github.com/androidmeda/cm_device_lge_p500/commit/d71e8c174915136efefca53648c0c5a4bb6a3c99
But I don't necessarily know how to do it.

You do 'remote add' and then cherry-pick the commit... but for that commit I would manually add.... you don't want all of it.

No workaround yet, I'm using the generic android file pick intent, with it's default return key/value pairs. If Root Browser doesn't support those, it won't work. The CM7 default OI File Manager, and Root Explorer both work fine, haven't tested others yet.

I'll have to do a file path check to be sure mnt isn't used in the returned string.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks. Just tried it, and here's what happens now, lol.

EDIT -- okay, so, I had to use "sudu su" to get this to work properly, i tried deleting the .repo folder and starting over, to no avail. So, running the commands after using 'sudo su' seems to be running fine, so I'm okay with doing this under the root account, just have to remember that when working on this.

edit 2 -- UGH. repo sync -j1 gave me this:

I'm chalking it up to a spotty internet connection? Only thing I can think of. This seems useless to try any more, unless someone can give me another suggestion. I appreciate the help.

thats what it sounds like to me. I have the same problem everytime I try to build at my friends house because of a bad wifi signal. Not sure what to tell you to do about that

 

[cole2kb]

It's my DSL line, I'm sure of it. My Wi-Fi signal is perfect, my router is right next to my computer. (I'd just go wired but this model computer is notorious for their Ethernet ports not working, including mine.) Oh well, just keep trying I guess.

Wouldn't it be easier to just get a login to LeslieAnn's build server?

 

[cole2kb]

Easier, maybe, I didn't ask but it ended up coming up due to a miscommunication and she isn't willing to give me one, which is fine, I understand why and agree with her, and I have my own reasons. 99% chance I will never actually contribute to the community, I'm just learning right now, and this place is cluttered to hell already with too many ROMs, we don't need any more devs.

I still have a box I'm willing to let people use if you're interested. Its not nearly as nice as the build server, but its good enough for learning and experimenting (my roms were built on it before leslieann gave me a login on the build server (thank you!))

I appreciate the offer, but I just don't think I'd feel right about you doing the work to set it up just so I can play around and probably never do anything substantial or helpful for the community. It's nothing more than a personal learning exercise for the time being.

It's already set up. All I'd have to do is type "sudo adduser whatever" then pm you the info. No work for me.

Well, if you're cool with it and it isn't any trouble for you, that would be cool. I'd just need to set up an SSH client on my end, right? Any recommendations?
