Changes: Synced with CM and cherry-picked some changes
-- Lots of behind the scenes code improvements in dalvik, should lead to smoother performance
-- -- BacksideUpdater huge update!!!
-- -- Added download progress indicator but it is still OK to exit and let it complete in the background
-- -- Added the ability to Automatically Install ROM Updates!!
-- -- -- Once you have downloaded the ROM package and BacksideUpdater verifies it, you can select Install ROM Now and your phone will reboot and wipe cache/dalvik-cache and install the ROM and reboot back to normal All Automatically!

For the best results download and install CWM-Green-Recovery, a new recovery I built for just this purpose!

Note- Automatic install has been tested to work on CWM-Green, BobZhome, IHO, and Drew's-Touch recoveries. Automatic wipe dalvik-cache only works on CWM-Green-Recovery.

Thanks as always to Blarf, BobZhome, mrg666, tdm, LeslieAnn, gannon, tvall, Whyzor, bigsupersquid, kermikalelite, the CM team, the AOSP team, and a whole lot more!

This is so awesome Jerry. Thank you for your awesome work.

Can you explain what automatic wipe dalvik cache does? Is that wiping the dcache from within the ROM like CM7?

Thanks!

When you install an update to a ROM, it is standard procedure to wipe the dalvik-cache. This is normally done under the advanced menu in recovery. Without wiping dalvik-cache, you often get FCs and/or freezes due to incompatible code/data fragments being left behind from the previous installation.

My new CWM-Green-Recovery will automatically wipe dalvik cache when the auto-install method is choosen in the BacksideUpdater. No muss, no fuss.

Hi Jerry,
Thanks again for your awesome work! Just wanted to ask if boot sounds were currently working. did a search in the thread but latest thing I found in your patch notes was that this was fixed.

And Chang4u, if you want to change that animation you have to edit the boot.img itself. This is done by
1) installing cygwin (assuming you're pc)
2) installing android kitchen so it can extract and rebuild the image
3) grabbing a png to rle converter
4) correctly modifying the files in a way that still allows the system to boot up while animating nicely
all the while not bricking your system.

Unless you're obsessed and you're either a programmer or an artist or both I don't think it's worth it to learn how to do this. That is until they develop a tool for bootimages customization.

regardless it always involves the boot.img, which if you mess up you basically get a non booting phone or a nice data wipe if you don't have the proper files and so forth for custom

​

recovery.

I like the idea of the auto update, but i usually do backups in recovery before i do the flash. Whats the best way to do that now, rom manger?

Reading Jerry's Green Recovery thread, it says you can choose manual flashing, in which case it still downloads and MD5 checks the ROM, then reboots you into recovery. Here you can make your backup and flash the update. It's semi-automatic.

I hope I'm understating this correctly.

I am blown away by this initiative of Jerry's. He is providing a tool set to raise the level of support and ease-of-use for all ROMs, not just his own!

Here's a fun fact that I noticed...idk if people know or noticed it before but theme Chooser only works for adw launcher and not for launcher pro. Just thought I should point it out. Love the new automatic update.

I still don't recommend ROM manager on the Optimus V. For now, do your backups manually, I'll see about adding an automatic option.

Jerry, is it possible to convert an MIUI theme to a CM7 theme? (Either through flashing or theme chooser)

Depends on how the theme was made. I'm not sure if MIUI uses the same theme machine as CM7? Looks like you have some googling to do.

I've been Googling too, but I wanted to ask an expert.
I just really like this one MIUI theme, but IHO runs so much smoother and has more features than our current MIUI ROM

 

[LeslieAnn]

There is an ADW theme on Play Store ($1), and an MIUI style launcher (free) that won't effect the rest of the rom.

i installed green machine theme and i dont like it how do install a differnt one? i tryed flashing the blues and i keep getting adw force close untill i have to reflash the rom

 

[bjzapp]

So let me be clear and clarify this with you.... even though, I myself, have not done it-- if the radio update has not yet been flashed, it is now not recommended to be done with this new recovery? Thanks in advance

You have to reflash the ROM before flashing a new theme, and be sure to wipe cache and dalvik first.

Hey Jerry - great work! Had a question. I flashed the newest ROM. After rebooting, I realized that the battery indicator had changed. The old one was a quarter circle with a percentage in it. The new one has a percentage number followed by an upright battery. Also had a question about the new recovery. The up/down keys work, but I was not able to get the keys that select an option working. I had to press one of the 4 buttons at the bottom of my screen to run the option (was trying to reboot). Is this the correct way? Awesome work, once more!!!!!

On the recovery he changed the home button to the select for fear of wearing down the camera button
