I'm pretty sure you can change the bootspash image with custom kernels, it just has to be baked into them.

Has anyone been able to find the stock rooted post-OTA ROM for the myTouch 4G? I searched each thread and can't find it.

I found that but that one is not rooted from what I understand. It is the original ROM to revert to factory state. I basically need exactly that but a rooted and recovery flashable version.

Maybe I'm looking for the wrong thing but I can't see it. Do you have link? Make it is as I stated above, rooted and post-OTA flashable ROM.
EDIT: I see some in the dev section but I need specifically as is, untouched, nothing removed or added, just rooted is the only change.

Wow I can't believe I missed that. I guess I must have seen the "debloated" in the title and skipped it in the search.

Calling on nexus devs, themers, please read

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

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.

How to upgrade Android version when on custom ROM

So all right, I thought that when a newer version of Android came out and I am for example on CM10.1, I can update the android version and ROM by flashing a new bootloader and baseband, then flash the ROM and Gapps you want.
But today I read about someone who didn't accomplish to install a 4.2.2 ROM when he was on 4.2.1 so he installed factory image.
Can someone now please tell me what you need to do, so I am prepared when KLP arrives.
Thanks in advance!

Best advice I can give you is to learn fastboot. You can download images from Google once released and manually flash each thing that you want to update. You just unzip the files and fastboot flash them to your phone.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk 2
I think I am misunderstood.
I meant how to upgrade android version if going from a custom rom to another custom rom.
So for example CM10.1 Android 4.2.2 and going to Xenon HD Android 5.0
Thats possible right?

Most developers list instruction on how to install from different custom roms in the install method if they differ (example post#2 in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2075444). If not, you could post in the thread of the custom rom to see if there are any special steps for that rom. I would advise reading through the first few posts of the custom rom to make double sure they didn't explain how to first.

But I do have to flash factory image in fastboot? No other ways by just using CWM?

You don't, bootloader and radio should be enough, but you WILL need fastboot to get that bit done

There is a flashable zip for that. So I can just use CWM when upgrading ROMs?

Why do you prefer that even of you install the same file? But the answer on my question is that I can install a 5.0 ROM if I just flash the new bootloader and baseband?
Thank you for helping me!
Yes, as I answered that earlier
As for why I prefer fastboot - I always like to do everything manually. I then know I'VE done things right as an updater-script in a CWM ZIP file could be wrong/corrupt. It's a safety thing. Plus, once it's done it's done so I wouldn't have to do it again unless I wanted to downgrade Android to 4.x

But with CWM you also have to flash once I think? Because you dont flash it on a ROM, but before a ROM so the baseband and bootloader will last untill you install another I think?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Fastboot flashing is permanent - once flashed you don't have to do it again. A CWM ZIP can do the same but I, personally, DO NOT LIKE DOING IT THAT WAY. I don't know what else you want me to say?
Do what YOU want to do

Yeah but CM11 (or whatever it may be called) wont be ready as yes as Android 5.0 comes out, and I may use the stock ROM the first day it comes out, which I will flash in CWM so I wanted to know if I needed to do something else.

Yes sir, I have been using it on all my roms and stock since I found out what it was from the first release of Blue Kuban.
You need to make sure you follow the instructions exactly as they are in the thread as well as install the proper drivers.

It's the pixel build.prop . What I can't remember is if the "P" is capitalized in the build.prop for for 6p. I modified it for the Google assistant and now I want to change it back.
Fyi, yes I know it is a very minor and ignorant thing that I am asking. But, I don't know the answer so I figured I would ask XDA
