ARCHIVED: [ROM][ALPHA] quattrimus ICS

[tdm]

@tdm
Still battling onward through the fog....

In RomKeeper, I "fetched" the beta pre zip flashed fine in drews old CWMT recovery, but not in his new Cannibal, that I reported the issues on the asserts.

In RomKeeper, it shows the nightly as a zip, so I "fetched" it as well. It flashed fine in drews new Cannibal so the asserts are changed.

Note the screenshots below.
The beta pre zip and the nightly zip are slightly different sizes. (?) Maybe the diff is not getting applied in RomKeeper for the LS670 build and that is why one will flash in drews thunderc recovery and the other will not? Might be just a w.a.g. on my part there.

That looks good. Except for the nightly saying it's not present when it actually is.

The sizes for beta1pre1 and nightly are indeed slightly different, so you're good there.

 

[tdm]

are the new updates thru romkeeper only?

has the new AOKP been posted yet?

inquiring minds want to know.

Nightlies are through romkeeper only. Releases will be made as full ROMs.

No, I'm still working on AOSP and AOKP.

I used rom keeper to fetch nightly quatt and hit install........ no joy what's up?

Install may not work correctly, depending on your recovery. Just boot into recovery and flash it like any other ROM.

Was pretty simple. I went to ROMkeeper, downloaded the pre-beta build. After download, it'll verify. Then download nightly. Again, after download, it'll verify. Once verified, click install. The phone will reboot, install, then reboot again. Once phone boots up, just look at the bottom of your lock screen. If it says Virgin Mobile, then it worked.

Do not use link2sd with quattrimus.

quattrimus automagically mounts /sd-ext/app over top of /data/app. This serves the same function of link2sd but in a transparent way. It also does the same with dalvik-cache.

Does that mean that i have to reinstall my current apps so they are moved to /sd-ext/app? or are they automcatically moved for me?

 

[tdm]

If anyone is still having trouble with getting the nightly, don't worry. I plan to have beta1 finalized Mon or Tue, and a new version of RomKeeper shortly thereafter that tries to give better feedback.

Sorry for the bumpy ride. I know it can be frustrating, but the result is going to be awesome. And .. well .. it is alpha right now...

So here's the way it works.

If your /data/app has any apps in it, the script will not mount /sd-ext/app over it. This is to ensure your apps in /data/app don't seem to "disappear".

So if you want to keep the apps in /data/app without doing a complete wipe and restore, just move all of the *.apk files from /data/app to /sd-ext/app, then reboot.

So I flashed prebeta and it worked fine. Booted into recovery and flashed ics reloaded and upon reboot was met with constant system ui has stopped working errors. Anyone else had this?

I did a complete wipe and restore and all teh apps were in /sd-ext/app... but when i checked in data/app, the apps were there too. Is that supposed to be like that?

Yes. That's what I meant by mounting on top of /data/app. The sdext files are overlaid on top of data/app so they show in both places.

ICS Reloaded is not compatible with the new builds because the dev working on Reloaded dropped support for it.

ICS reloaded will not work for any newer ICS builds, if on any anymore. Dev has dumped the project. Instead, he is working on a completely new version/project. He is hoping to have something soon. He has a thread on Xda.

I see you added Apollo music player. Totally awesome. And the fact that I'm typing this with the forum open, while I'm downloading the nightly is proof of improvement in stability. I tip my hat to you sir.

Congrats TDM... Pre Beta working great... snappy and very responsive. A nice gift to start our weekend. Your work is very much appreciated.

When you have the nightly zip properly constructed, Drew's recovery should be able to flash it. I added the appropriate device assert (I think). If it doesn't work, snag a copy of /tmp/recovery.log before you reboot and I'll try to get it figured out.

I flashed the nightly with Drew's Cannibal Open Touch for Optimus V and it worked fine.

P.S. Why do I keep getting an "Android is upgrading" screen everytime I start the phone?

Confirmed here as well. The pre1beta will not though for those who might try that.
