People having trouble downgrading from cm7/miui - Vibrant General

if u ever wanted to downgrade to a 2.2 rom but dont want to odin to stock JFD this is a workaround download the update script below, open the rom go to META-INF/com/google/android and delete the one thats in there and put the one u downloaded in there instead, u may have to extract the rom first and then re-package it depending on what program your using. good luck
EDIT:extract the updater out of the zip file

wht download below?

Does your script account for the fact that the miui/CM7 Tom's kernels only see mtd mount points and not the Samsung bml mount points?

The OP doesn't say to flash it...
Read the OP again.
Vibrant+MIUI

Just use Odin, don't shortcut it. The OP here has a very very basic idea of the reason and necessity to change these files, and has not provided a complete set of steps in two different "guides" he has posted here, and nobody has been successful as per the reports.
Bottom line, save both yourself and dev in the future a headache, and just use Odin.

Deodexing stock 351

Hi there,
I m thinking of deodexing stock 351 rom. i did apps and framework successfully and flashed them back via zip but after that m stuck on bootloops.
Please someone helpout. i wana learn not go back via nandroid:]
Best way to do this is to download the htc desire kitchen rom maker. It has great options to deox and zip align as well as make a cwm flashable rom....
I tried to do this manually and always ran into issues, with the downloadedable kitchen it works everytime.

LOL, agreed! The thread may however provide some answers the the issues that were encountered.
You do plan to Cook it afterwards right? You aren't just DeOdexing for the sake of DeOdexing? From what I've read there is basically no point to it unless you intend to create your own ROM based on the DeOdexed one. It probably won't hurt anything in a way that you'll notice, but it won't improve anything either.

if you're flashing frameworks you need to make sure the old ones are deleted first and that the correct permissions are set on the files.
I've no idea what you're trying to do with the zips, there's so little information in this thread to actually point out what you've tried to do so far..
if you just want to replace frameworks with deodexed ones (why? odexing is a way of speeding things up, unless you want to try theming) then you also should be deodexing the system/apps as well, and clearing dalvik-cache.
"Apk files have respective odexes that devs use to supposedly save space. Deodexing means you convert it back to a .dex file and put it back inside the apk. This allows you to easily replace files (not having to worry about odexes), but the main point was to deodex services.jar so that you can change all text to different colors (such as the clock color to white) and to deodex services.jar, you need to deodex everything. "
There are huge amounts of tutorials online about deodexing roms if you really want to do it.
if you're using windows then there's a fairly good tool called AutoDEOTool (v 1.02 works fine) but you still need to read the instructions.
I deoxed and zip aligned and I have noticed a differences in speed
Sent from my Dell Streak
I use the kitchen to deox both /system/app and /system/framework.... not sure about your update script because the kitch actually makes that for you so it should be correct

[Q] Obsolote Clockwork Recovery links - Where do I find valid ones?

The links shown in this great video tutorial are no longer valid:

2. http://adrynalyne.us/files/odin/cwm_recovery_test4_adryn.tar

Update: I manage to find in the meanwhile this very readable HowTo (with links) but so far, all readers in the comments area reported failure. So I don't know what to make of this.

If that is indeed the correct thread, can you confirm that the following components versions are compatible together as a package?

Unfortunately Sprint has said point blank there won't be an official ICS for it thanks to Touchwiz. The phone can run ICS just fine (IE the very snappy CM9b1 I'm running right now) but the ICS+Touchwiz combo is too heavy for it, according to them, and they aren't willing to put out an update to ICS without Touchwiz.
So if anyone did anything to your cereal.. it's them. (It irritates me more than a little bit too)
Maybe the modem has enhancements.

It is Samsung that said that and it is due to their BML partition. Thrte is no room for the ICS OS in there. That is why our DEVs put it on MTD. Samsung won't attempt a partition and file system change for all the Epic owners via OTA...that is tech support suicide.

So true about the hellish nightmare that would be sprint support if they did attempt to roll out an OTA MTD switch.. god my head hurts just thinking about it.. it's sad that Samsung has to be different and not use MTD like several other manufacturers.
ICS for epic touch stock with tw is in the ballpark of like 350 MB.

Make sure you accept the notification to "Download" the update. Right after its done, it will again notify you if you would like to "Install" the update. DECLINE it, and try checking the cache again.

Updated build.props for el30 (and legendary) roms! Updated with flashable zips!

If you were already getting the update message before flashing or pasting this file YOU MUST CLEAR CACHE AFTER PASTING OR FLASHING!!! That will clear the ota download from your phone and it won't be downloaded again after the build.prop edit!
Clean GB MTD 1.1.2 > http://db.tt/BfUir1kc.
Flashable- http://db.tt/OVjJAZw0

Sleeper rom > http://db.tt/pNLSOZ3B.
Flashable- http://db.tt/aekFn8K9
Thunderhawk IV el30 > http://db.tt/TFWgS337
Flashable- http://db.tt/hQzt0dlK
Legendary 2.2 ei22 > http://db.tt/Jq2i1TMX
