ARCHIVED: [DEAD ROM] nROM v1.6.3

[Nick7]

i noticed your boot.img is like 7mb you know my kernel supports lzma ramdisk so you can shrink that ramdisk down some more.

My biggest concern was getting everything working properly, but I will definitely take a look at that after work. Thanks for the info though because I would have never even noticed that lol. I'm still learning.

well you only have 7mb-ish of nand for the kernel so you are close to the edge.

lzma is easy just install "xz" for your linux distro and manually make the boot.img using the kernel zImage and an extracted ramdisk

here is a fun pkg for you to play with
extract it into a subdir (like in a "tmp" folder).

it has my current automation scripts perhaps you can find something useful.

what this does:
after the kernel build is complete (demo files included), you can run "buildboot" in the kernel directory and it calls my other scripts which basically make two versions of the kernel

1) my custom boot.img with my ramdisk that I use on my phone
2) the update.zip that you see on the xionia kernel thread

auto updates the message in the zip flashing process, auto update kernel/module, auto zip, auto sign.

autobuild ramdisk, auto-lzma compress it, auto boot.img

anyway have fun with it. maybe it will help somehow.

Awesome! After work I'll be booting up Ubuntu on my old ****top. Thanks zefie.

Just tried this Rom..... looks good

 

[Nick7]

Well the finished product is on my computer, just waiting for this painfully slow upload ಠ_ಠ v1.1 released, check the changelog.

 

[Nick7]

Wow. Sorry guys. I forgot to update my post with a link to the new version. Anyways it's up now guys.

What clock widget is that called? Is that available in the market?

 

[Nick7]

Fancy widget 1.36 google it. It's not available on the market.

EDIT: link to the .apk on op.

Hi, i seem to be having a problem when i use ADB shell. for some reason i get the $ sign instead of the #. i know am rooted because i am running this rom with boot recovery installed. and when i try to run the root again its no use. any suggestions. thanks.

 

[Nick7]

When you see $ type "su" and hit return. Also make sure you allow the super user request for root on your phone or else it will not work.

 

[nmazloum]

thanks. it finally worked.

 

[Nick7]

v1.2 released. God what time is it? I should sleep instead of tweak my ROM.

 

[shortyjacobs]

What changed in 1.2? Your changelog is gone from Post 1.

 

[Nick7]

Yeah I was passed out and forgot to do it. Uh I'm putting it up now.

 

[mykenyc]

I thought you put up new market in the change log?

Asked because after installing I see the old market still here, unless you mean the new 2.2 market not gingerbread.

Edit _ weirdly now I see the new market.

 

[Nick7]

yeah for some reason it takes a reboot to see it. But it was the newest 2.2 market.

hey Nick, can you do me a favor. On your ROM, open Google Talk, and then tap someone to talk to, look at their name under the notification bar. does it kinda cut off, or is it me

Looks like that for me too. Must be a problem with the theme I ported (framework-res.apk). Thanks, I'll put it on my todo list.

Nick7, I like what ur doing here. I commend u on ur efforts. I recently installed the fancywidget and stated to notice a difference in my phone. I went to uninstall it from my list of installed apps and wasn't given the option. While I was there I noticed a couple other "hidden" apps that were installed that I don't remember giving permissions to. It was a hidden menu app and a settings for lg app that were not there before. those apps had access to much more than I feel comfortable giving to a hidden app. My question is: how do I remove the fancywidget and these hidden apps from my phone now? And, is there any reason these apps need this much access to my personal info, text messages, full access to everything? This is a bit concerning..... Thanks and good work once again!
