I tried this recovery and while it does see our external now, it gave me an error when restoring a backup

Nandroid - date format?
When I create nandroids after flashing this CWM Variant - the default "name" of the Nandroid is supposed to be the date and time - but mine are showing a date of something like - 1970.01.02 --- how do I change this so the correct date is used? The dates on my Phone are all correct - set automatically - ?

I would imagine you would have to do it manually using something like root explorer until everything is corrected on this recovery

backup/restore
It's all good if it see the sdcard, but does it backup AND restore properly?

There have been reports of the backup working, but not restore.
I haven't tested, and I'm holding off on the new recovery for now.

Let's all walk over to the general section. Causes that's where this is going, sorry, but this isn't the OP'S work an he can't support it correctly.

V3 has been release and I believe they fix the restore problem

v3 is out!
Tested on T999:
Back up worked fine.
Restore worked fine.
:good:
Date is still screwed:
1970-01-09.07.49.38

Sprint apk's

I hate to ask this, but a while back I saw a thread with download links for sprint apps. Somehow when I went to nebula (awesome rom) titanium wouldn't restore sprint apps. Every search I try won't bring this thread up and I'm sure someone knows where it is. Please advise
Thanks!

If you need one that's EXT4-compatible, ptfdmedic has it on his blog. It's in the list on the left-hand side.

There's a download link for Sprint apps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907308
First post, halfway down. Not sure if they are apk or a zip etc though.

Ah, maybe that's why Titanium couldn't restore them. Didn't consider the partition compatibility.
Thanks!
Any apk will work on an ext4 partition,it the update.zip that needs to be compatible if your using cwm3. So titanium should work even if you backed it up on an rfs system,Im pretty sure of this.

OK, that's good to know. I just download the EXT4 version even though it may not be different at all. The three I installed worked fine either way.

MD5 sum mismatch

So I made my MIUI backups last week with the same version of clockwork as I did with my current rom KONI. Now im getting mismatch errors when trying to restore.
Is this because im going back to non sense from sense?

Changing from aosp to sense shouldn't matter. The only time I've seen that reported is if the backup had been renamed, and contained spaces in the name. Any chance you renamed the backups?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Yea, I got that error too when I renamed by backups to what rom they were instead of the date/time stamp. You need to rename the backup back to what it originally was, with no spaces.
Yes I did rename the backups dang! I have no idea what they were called originally.... Any way to salvage them still?

I'm not sure how the heck you would name it hte same as it was prior, its just a bunch of letters and numbers, and a date. I thought I remembered seeing a guy say that removing spaces from the name was enough for it to work for him, but I don't know for sure. If you have any spaces in the name, try removing them, or replacing them with _ . If that doesn't work, then I know of no other ways or things to try, but maybe someone else could chime in or something. Good luck.
Removing all spaces worked!
Thanks guys

[Q] Can someone mod a rom for me? please :)

can anyone mod a ACS rom for me so it can say "Stevie" in the lock screen and notification bar? instead of acs
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976194
bump.......
there's a couple problems with this. What theme are you using. If your using a theme your gonna have to contact that dev and ask him. If your just using the rom I'm the man to talk to.
if I do this for you then others are going to want it done then it will be time consuming. And I won't be able to work in my other projects. However I wrote a how-to on changing the sprint branding. You can always follow those instructions.
If I have some free time I may try to fit this in.

just keep trying until you get it to work, you will feel awesome and you may learn a thing or two about android. there are a pretty limited number of ways to mess up such a small change so just do a little reading and you'll figure it out.

+1 to this. I recently started using a theme that I wanted tweaked in one little way. I posted something in the thread and got no response and so started screwing around with it myself. It took a while (and multiple screw ups) but I eventually got it to do what I wanted. However, I learned a ton in the process that made me come up with new and improved ways I might screw up... I mean improve... my phone.
By the way, I think the key to doing this with confidence is doing a full "nandroid" backup (i.e. a backup in clockwork). As long as you do this before messing with anything on the phone, you can pretty much always restore the backup and be right where you were. I got myself stuck a couple times and this saved me.

When I'm working on mods I zip up the files I edited so I can flash and test the mod. I also create a 2nd zip with the same files but un modified. So if the modified zip breaks things I flash the un modified zip

Strings.xml after you decompile framework-res.apk zz_roaming text you'll see it probably says acs already. Pull the framework res.apk decompile in apk manager, then navigate to projects/framework-res.apk/res/values/strings.xml. Scroll down towards the bottom and search for zz_roaming_. Note in apk manager when you recompile and it asks is this a system app choose y. Then it asks to preserve signature as well as files choose yes thenin apk manager you'll now have a keep folder. Delete the file named resources.arsc and then goto place here for modding folder. You'll see unsigned-framework-res.apk in there rename that to framework-res.

Either push it using adb or root explorer. Or use update script from another theme but leaving the file structure the same

Turn usb debugging on in settings applications development. Hook your usb cable open a command prompt and in the terminal cd to the directory with the modded framework and type adb push framework-res.apk system/framework/ and then hit enter. This requires you have the android sdk installed and the tools in your path if u you have trouble with that then get a theme that works on your rom open the theme with a zip program and delete everything inside the system folder except the folder framework. Next open the framework folder and delete both framework-res.apk and twframework.apk. Next drag and drop your framework-res.apk into that framework folder close the zip and flash

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
(If running bml version open the file after downloading with a text editor and change any mtd to bml and then replace in /system)
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
Flashable > http://db.tt/usbR2lg1
THANK YOU DARKIERAWR for throwing these in flashable zips.... if you see a post of his around HIT THANKS!!!
Rename build.prop and overwrite the one in /system
if you don't see the rom you run here and want it just tell me the name of the rom and I will get it up... or, if you want to be nice, link me to it...

You know you have to make this flashable in CWM. If people don't know how to edit the build.prop they are not going to be able to install this in system either without lots of guidance.

If people don't know how to download either es or root explorer and mount system and overwrite their other build.prop, they deserve to keep getting the update message... I can understand not being completely clear on what to edit, but not being able to paste a file to the system directory... get an iphone... or unroot immediately cuz your bound to screw your phone up if you can't figure that out... come on people, be smarter than the phone...

You might have to boot into cwm and clear cache... after that you'll be good to go.... clean gb is the only one that doesn't have to be renamed... I renamed the other ones so I wouldn't mix them up on my sd card... if your on clean gb bml... go into /system and open up build.prop and change wherever you see mtd to bml...

As much as we see the question, figured this would be the most downloaded thing on xda!
Only the dozen or so that keep asking the question over and over need it. The rest are smart enough to follow our repeated instructions.

I'm not sure where to find one. But I have a link to a regular flashable version in my tips thread in my signature. All you have to do to change it to an altboot version is open the zip with a zip program (do not completely unzip, just edit the zip). Change the names of the two files there. Change uRecImg to uAltImg and uRecRam to uAltRam. Save and flash with CWM. It will put CWM 5.5.0.4 to emmc as an alternate CWM.
