Calling on nexus devs, themers, please read - Nexus S General

As some of you know a friend and team member parabola from acs is a java developer and he wrote an app called the acs updater. Now the app is from acs but the intention is for any dev to showcase their work. If you would like to have your work included in the app please visit here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1174964
And choose submit theme, app, rom, kernel etc to make it publicly available.
This app downloads the mod and flashes it for you.

Yes it checks for the build info you shouldn't see my rom but you should see my themes. It should identify you as crespo when you start it

Very similar so far the dev just got started. Its actually building into something that will keep people that use our work in the loop and provide a simple means of flashing. The thing its since we don't store the rom itself there no reason to not let any dev post work.
Sent from my crespo4g using Tapatalk

Nice and good idea but i guess it would be very hard to maintain( no offence intended).
Only checking the build prop is okay for roms but will be problematic concerning kernel and themes.

why is that? I'm not saying you wrong I'm not seeing why not
Sent from my crespo4g using Tapatalk

Interesting idea, does it do a proper flash for things? I heard somewhere that RM doesn't flash properly for certain things (cant remember what exactly).
Was there a reason to develop your own updater? I'm tempted to use it for my stuff though.

So far I've flashed the themes and rom. The original idea was he was building a in house updater to package all of acs's work. A central location to have it all but recently he decided to add in anyone who wanted to be included.

Oh ok. Would you have any idea what the Extended Commands requirement is? Or an example? I always wondered how stuff was sent by RM.

Actually alot of people do not recommend using ROM manager to download and install ROMS. each ROM has what is a called a MD5SUM, and the developers post these MD5SUM publicly so we can verify the ROM was download entirely and without any mess ups.

Yeah, I don't think that's possible, b/c I'm pretty sure you have to deodex to decompile and recompile the framework.apk an other system apks that need modding... may be wrong though.
Why not run a deodexed system?

In that thread someone mentions that nottach did a 1% Mod for a HKTW version of Android that would supposedly work with odexed systems, but I never actually found any posts verifying it. There was a link included, so it's there if you're inclined to look.
I was looking for this mod for an odexed system too, but in the end I just decided to flash a deodexed system.img. Since I was trying to keep my phone as "stock" as possible I was reluctant, but with how many mods are designed for deodexed systems it just seemed like the best thing to do.
You can always flash a recovery from an odexed backup, which I have done with no issues.

Ah yes the launcher has that hard coded. I guess swapping it for the 2.3.1 launcher would work. Now to find 2.3.1 though! D:
---------- Post added at 03:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 PM ----------
So here is a fix for anyone tired by the Welcome to Oxygen! message when the launcher starts/restarts.
Took 2.3.1 launcher2.apk and made a flashable zip you can flash in recovery. If you feel like it you can replace the apk manually in /system/app too. Permissions 0644.
Cheers!

Edit: Zip is untested but should in all theory not break anything. Make a nandroid or know what the eff you're doing if you flash this baby.

[REQUEST] Eclipse ROM Port

Got my Galaxy Gear Watch today and couldn't get it working on my AOSP ROM so I moved over to a TW ROM. However, I hate the TW look. It's too big and clunky so I went looking for some TW ROMs and found this one:
http://www.elementalxdesigns.com/ec...-0-(08-27-13)-Touchwiz-stability-AOSP-Styling!!
I would love to see this ROM ported to the Sprint S4!
What do you guys think?
Of course it would just be a lot easier to just get Galaxy Gear working with AOSP, but TW generally is more stable with better battery life.

As long as it's TW ROM. I've never tried AOSP.
BTW the way to install is to wipe data and caches the install ROM. Then wipe data once again then absprint kernel.

Not much to say at this point. Its bootable with a little updater.script editing and flashing the ktkernel with aroma and instantly rebooting recovery and flashing an older 4.3 ktkernel. No data as of yet. I guess if I can get a stable data through either network or WiFi I'll make a download for ya. Or just some good links and a tut.

Updating Custom ROMs

I am using Purity 4.4 + Matrix 11.5 right now.
Now my question is how do you guys update your respective ROMs instead of flashing newer versions through recovery? I tried GooManager but it didn't work for me :-|
You should ask in thread about your rom. If devs do not do OTA update you must use recovery to update rom
I think most use recovery

It's not hard but sometimes you get too lazy
Simple. Set up VM environment there are simple walkthrough video and once your set up you can pull straight out of the devs or any branch. I do my own when I feel I need to add a feature I do. There are a major variety of bases to choose from. Its much easier than many think. In my opinion its safer as I know exactly what I'm getting. Not to mention an addiction lay within too. Lol Have fun bro. Welcome to the machine. Many new devs are so stoked when the first ROM they build is complete they can't stop. Lol peace.
