ICS Emulator? - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an interesting problem/challenge I know if anyone knows the answer it will be here. I would like my Mytouch to play nice with Citrix at work and my understanding is that I need ICS to get that done. This is (was) my first android device I had left stock and I really liked the way sense operated. I rooted it and got S=off and flashed several (like 10) ICS roms and either hated them (without sence) or no camera. Finally just went back to GB. Running RoyalMint and love it. Since I only need ICS to log onto the VPN for work is there a ICS solution - I mean I guess I could flash everytime I need to log on but that seems silly. Maybe an emulator app?

I think there is an app in the play store called boot manager that lets you partition your sd card and let you dual boot. FYI all AOKP, AOSP, and MIUI have working camera for ics.

Thank you
I will try both of those options. Working with the HTC has been difficult about 50% of the ROMs I have tried have failed to flash so the dual boot maybe my best bet.

Use 4EXT Recovery to perfom a FULL wipe. If you don't wipe correctly you'll have a bad time. Kind of like in real life.
Good luck with Boot Manager + ICS. Be sure sure enable large boot.img.

[Q] dual booting

I know the winmo phones can dual boot winmo and android. They boor android from the sdcard.
Im wondering if we can get are phones to dual boot so we can have are working rom ect.... And we can dual boot into the secondary android from the sd card to test are mods

They can dual boot because Android is an open OS and is free. It would be illegal to put Winmo on our devices without paying for the proper license.
Also, for what possible reason would you even want to do this? To use as a reminder of how primitive Winmo looks and was compared to Android?

I wanna dual boot with 2 separate sets of android for testing purposes
Sent from my Emotionless Beast of an Epic using the XDA App
I think yes, it would be possible. I wouldn't know how, but its been done on android before, and there is an alpha version being worked on already for the Sammy Moment at SDX and Samdroid.
And if this could be achieved it would be a great to help to developers.
I think I would like it just for the purpose of trying out new roms without having to give up my current rom, in case I don't like the new one.

if you do a full backup, flash a new ROM, restore data (only) and you don't like the new ROM, you can go back into recovery, restore full backup and voila.. you're back to the ROM you just backed up.
takes 3 minutes to do all this.
no need for dual boot IMO

I'm aware of that process but if I'm just wanting to tinker with a new rom, I really don't want to go through all that trouble. If I want to try a new Linux distro on my PC, I'm not going to ghost it, install the new distro, then restore the old image later. I'm going to throw the new distro on a second hard drive and dual boot while I decide if I like it. That way, I have a known stable OS, configured the way I want, just a reboot away.

I have noticed this as well, and a flash with odin plus reinstalling clockworkmod is the only thing that prevents it from corrupting your backups for future use.

I don't know. That's fine if you just want to try out a ROM one time, and quickly, or if you can do without your main ROM for a long time. I had a windows phone before I switched to Android. Having the "dual boot" was key to my switching to Android. I was able to install Android, set it up the way I wanted to (which took lots of time) and "play" with it whenever I had time, but at other times I needed to be able to switch back to my main phone. I'd switch a couple times a day sometimes (just a single click to go either way). After a couple of weeks of being able to work with Android I knew I'd be happy switching.
You could do something like this with backups and restores, but I honestly think it would get overly cumbersome. You'd have to backup your main ROM and then the second ROM. Every time you changed a setting or moved something around in either ROM you'd have to remember to make a new backup, or the next time you switched into that ROM all of your changes would be reverted back.
In any case, I don't know how possible it is to have dual boot, but I can certainly see a lot of advantages for some people.
HARET is what makes the WinMo android boot possible and is based on work done with soft/hard SPL. No Android equiv to HARET exists yet. However, a lot of work is happening with HBOOT due to the Vision G2 eMMC situation. I wouldn't be too far off if I were to speculate that an android HARET may be in our future.
Go check out this thread from the Eris forums. - Dual boot recovery hack
As I'm not intimately familiar with the inner workings of Clockwork, I don't know how plausible it is on the DX. It could either be really easy to port since we're already bootstrapped, or nearly impossible. That's a problem for a dev much smarter than me to conquer.
I will say that I tried it out on my Eris. The stock class 2 card was unbearably slow, a class 4 was tolerable, and a class 6 (which cost a small fortune) ran as if it was installed internally. Kinda neat, but not terribly practical for daily use.

Clockwork 3.0.0

Rom manager doesn't list 3.0, only 2.5.1.4 as being the latest
ROMmanager is 3.0.0.2 the recovery has not changed since november 10.
There's nothing wrong with cwm. Maybe one will come with GB.

Yes it did --- I kinda jumped into it and did not really heed Cyanogen's big fat warnings... (reckless flashing) and I couldnt get gapps to flash -- the stuff from rhcp's CM7 thread -- but I got gingerbread going -- then I got distracted all night...woke up this morning trying to make the phone shape up for work -- that was a #fail and the battery seems horrible (then again by no means was it a proper battery test) -- so I decided to restore and that involved new drivers..(for some reason my SDK at work couldnt find the phone so I had to reinstall a fresh SDK (which i named gbSDK)... then found the current recovery at mybrainhurts.com and erased 3.0.0 and fastbooted the froyo recovery back in and restored. easy pie --
gingerbread is a whole 'nother game -- i just hope theres a way to go back and forth between froyo and GB (and eclair/cupcake/donut) without having to fastboot erase and fastboot flash relevant recoveries.
I am sure folks want to know if the new one fixes the "off" mode...and the answer is - i dont know. I didnt check. i kind of hope not because its a feature rather than a bug. theres no quick way to get to recovery when the phone is off. (on to fboot then to hboot then to recovery is too much work)
Is it even worth it to upgrade at this point in time? I'm a bit worried as it seems to be working pretty damn good with what I'm doing now. No partitions on my SD card because I don't care to put apps on it (it's not the fastest class card anyway).

what exactly happened when you flashed the gapps?
at least it didn't fry your g2. i think i might give it a go once i hear a few more success stories. my main worry atm is the ext4 issue. i guess i could just wait until rc1 i guess.
by 'off mode', are you referring to s-off?

I read the rhcp cm7 thread and i needed to unmount system before flashing the gapps. Thats why gapps failed because i didnt read!
By Off i meant how cw doesnt let the phone turn off when charging... i hope cw 3.0 lets us keep that feature.
Ill probably give it another go this weekend...it works its just if you wanna go back to froyo you need to replace recoveries manually..not a big deal but frankly gingerbread isnt all that more exciting than froyo. I feel i have what i need.in Froyo..the gb keyboard...the gb market... and thats fine with me.

Erase Recovery option
Call me naïve, but if people are making full-blown builds with an image recovery and everything from the CM gingerbread source (which includes the Clockwork Mod recovery 3.0.0 image if I'm reading the source properly), could you just go into ROM Manager, go into Settings, and check the "Erase Recovery" option to allow it to erase the recovery between flashes?
I would test this myself, but I need to go home and make myself fresh builds of CM7 and CM6.2 to try swapping/flashing back and forth between. I can report back once I get around to it later this afternoon.
If I understand that option correctly, applying a full flash of these alpha builds of CM7 should write the new recovery image (v3.0.0.0), and if you need to switch back to CM6, you should be able to just reflash a full build of 6.1.1/6.2 back and it will restore the older recovery image (v2.5.1.8 according to the latest froyo version).
EDIT: Negate that thought. Not sure how you would go about forcing the recovery image flash while in recovery. I got to research this a little more...

How does one perform a Fastboot wipe?

From my understanding it can only be done via ADB? And I have to perform "fastboot erase system -w"
But what exactly are the steps to do so?
- Connect your phone to ADB on your PC (with the phone booted normally)
- run the command "ADB reboot bootloader"
- Once your phone reboots into the boot loader, run the fastboot wiping command
There might be an easier way to do, but that's what works for me.

And btw, do you perform a fastboot wipe rather than the traditional wipe via a recovery? And does this have any particular advantage doing this?

Glad I could help. Honestly, I've never done a wipe via fastboot, but talking about it actually makes me want to try it. I've always done it through recovery, so I really don't know if one is better than another. Let me know how it goes.

I just did it and works like a charm. Thanks again! And the recent CM7RC4 was very buggy for me so I'm gonna see if a fastboot wipe will solve my issues. Also, I know you're a big sense rom fan, I just tried the Thunderbolt rom via team royal, I was wondering if Evil's HD port is better? Is it the same version of sense?

The Thunderbolt is said to have Sense 2.0 whereas eViL's D-HD port is 1.84, but there's no difference that I can see. RoyalThunder doesn't have the new features that Sense 2.1 has. In my opinion eViL's is better, but I'm probably being partial since I've been running his ROM for months with great success...no bugs, 100% stable, and fast. Tomorrow I might upgrade to the latest version with includes Ext4, and for the first time I'll try Faux's Froyo/Sense kernel with it. I'll let you know what I think.

Alright thanks! Biggest problem for me is getting GPS to work.... My GPS is so buggy, didn't work at all on RoyalThunder, and sometimes doens't work on CM. I'm not sure if I have a defective unit or not but I can see that most people have GPS problems as well. Kinda disappointing since my little ol G1's GPS locked on instantly every time and on every ROM. =/
mack- what you on now that gps doesnt work? i assume you tried reflashing the rom, and also gps fix from the market?
also, which version of RG was bad on GPS? im on 1.6 and the worst i have to do is reboot and it comes back. I'm thinking of flashing 2.1 now, i'm hoping that doesnt have a gps issue as well.

[Q] Dual booting roms

Does anyone know of a dual booting recovery or a way that i can have two ROMS at once on my phone. That way i can freely switch on start up from cyanogen mod to MIUI.

I don't know about having two ROM's at once but you could just make a backup of both CM7 and MIUI. It saves all your setting and only takes about 5 minutes to flash from one to the other.
I assume your referring to a nan-droid backup and if that's so i would love to do that but the issue with that is i have the default android software saved there. I would over write it but the fear of losing it and not being able to flash back in case i need to take my phone back to the store and get a new one. I have actually done this before and they accepted it because i flashed the factory software from a update on te HTC page, unfortunately there is no update from the original software on the HTC site for the shift.
You can make multiple backups through ROM manager. I have both a Cm7 and a MIUI backup saved to my SD card.

No he is speaking of a dual boot recovery, where when I powered my phone up I could choose cm7 or I could choose miui to load, and I would have this choice everytime I booted.

There was someone working on this on the heroc forum, but I'm unsure if it ever actually worked or not.
I would much rather choose upon booting then going through the rom manager. Although i have never tried what you were speaking of so I'll give that a shot. Hopefully i can get MIUI to stop randomly restarting itself so i can use the ROM.

[Q] ROM Manager vs Acer Recovery Installer

So I am getting a A500 soon and been looking into rooting/flashing. I am a complete noob but from what I can tell the device will come with 3.0 which means it will be rootable via gingerbreak apk.
after that, the guides say I will need to flash cwm recovery. most of the guides say to install acer recovery from the marketplace, however there also seems to be ROM Manager which is very popular but I could not find any info if it works with A500.
So which one should I be using? It seems ROM manager comes with an updated version of CWM compared to Acer Recovery Installer. Will ROM manager work with the A500?
no
you can not use rom manager..
the acer recovery installer is used to install . thors .Recovery.. its a custom version of CWM. c. its designed for the a500 ONLY.. and its the ONLY one you can use on our device to date..
also after you get the acer recovery installer installed go to tegraowners.com yo get the latest version . i think 1.6.2 of the cwm recovery. you can flash it by putting it on your sd card and use acer recovery installer...
PLEASE THANK BOTH DEVELOPERS AND PAY PAL THEM.. Without them we would all be boring and stuck on stock. PEOPLE ARE TO Colorful and different to be forced to be all alike
If you are android 3.2 or above os . you will need to look at the downgrade to update to 3.2 and above or fallow the post by Timmy Dean. with his back door exploit . this is all due to the encrypted boot loader
Good Luck and fallow all instructions . you will be no longer a virgin soon.. Giggles
Listen to Erica. DO NOT USE Rom Manager. Just because somebody has a newer recovery, does not mean it is meant for your device They are all different.
But,,,, if you want to listen to what the phone guys say, by all means,,, use it. See what happens If you haven't noticed, that thing sitting on the table, is a lot bigger than a phone. And, it has a different operating system on it.
Run the acer recovery, like she said. THen flash thors recovery. You can always go to his site later, and upgrade it. Takes 5 minutes.
Don't wanna sound rough, but trying to keep you from bricking your tab.

where can we pick up acer recovery & thors recovery? I am familiar with GB and previous. My a500 was rooted before the camera screen magically cracked and when I got it back from Acer they had of course wiped it and updated it to 3.2 so I was unable to use gingerbreak anymore. Since then it has run horribly. It was slow stock before I rooted it the first time but now it has become almost unbearable. I just finished rooting and need to figure out whether I am going to get acer recovery off the market (is that where or is it in the threads here along with thors recovery??)
Thanks in advance

Acer recovery is available in the market. The supplied recover image is ok for flashing roms. so don't worry.
But, if you want his newest recovery (after installing from acer recovery), then aftwerwards, go to tegraowners and get his newest recovery. Just copy the zip to sd, and flash. No wipes needed.

*Update* - Flashed Taboonay. Still very open to suggestions since this is the actual first time I've been able to flash a rom to my tablet. Been able to do it to a lot of SGS1's (mesmerize, vibrant, captivate & SGSII Att variant) but always had trouble with the acer. Since I got it back from acer for broken camera lens it was stock and was to the point it was unbearably slow. Given I had a lot of crap apps on there but still my captivate before it died ran faster than the acer. I'm just looking for a bloatware free rom that's fast, silky smooth. I don't need a bunch of add on animations and crap. I just want it to work & work well ...
Thoughts & ideas appreciated.

Any of the Near stock rooted roms.. is always the best bet for reliability and comparability. With that said i think Thors rom is the fastest. I use the honeylicious icy rom with some personal touches that suit me..
i would say most important thing is.. I see you kinda unclear on the whole rom/flashing procedures.. With that i suggest to go in the dev forums and read threads to post about flashing roms and rom versions.. Nobody can tell you whats right for you..
Good luck and HAPPY SAFE FLASHING...

Thanks for the feedback Erica. I already did taboonay and see that it is not quite as smooth as I'd like. I don't know why my tab seems to be slightly sluggish or jittery but it is. I'm dl thors v14.2 atm and will give it a try. Now that I have cwr (or variation there of) installed doing any flashing should be a breeze.
Google date restore after flashing
LAGGY FEELING..
this is something i have had a issue with
after installing a new rom.. during the initial setup.. while setting up your google account you have two options one to turn on google backup.. one is to restore.. Turn this feature off if you do not care about your previous data that google collected.. Sometimes it will load crap back on your rom/device that caused the issues to begin with . it will even load some of the acer apps that the rom developer removed..
i dont use this service from google at all.. I take nanandroid backups with cwm . but for my apps and app data i use TI Backup.. thou its not the most user friendly experience . it required a bit of setup and expects the user to understand there terms.. they have a very good help files on there site if this helps you.. after i reflash a rom one click run of ti i can restore my tablet including all apps there data shortcuts on home screen with widgets and so on.. But im sorry that i cant help you set yours up i dont know enought to do so ..

i dont use this service from google at all.. I take nanandroid backups with cwm . but for my apps and app data i use TI Backup.. thou its not the most user friendly experience . it required a bit of setup and expects the user to understand there terms.. they have a very good help files on there site if this helps you.. after i reflash a rom one click run of ti i can restore my tablet including all apps there data shortcuts on home screen with widgets and so on.. But im sorry that i cant help you set yours up i dont know enought to do so ..

Have you heard of/tried Rom Toolbox?
Read the description of that app.
its based on the rom manager code. with some added tools it looks like...I DO NOT think its in any way compatible.
AGAIN . THE ONLY RECOVERY ROM MANAGEMENT FOR OUT Acer iconia a500 is .
Acer Recovery Installer.
Thors Recovery Partition..
of course as always adb. (don't ask ) developer.android.com i think is url
I use no add on tools or memory task managers android can do this well on its own..

Rom toolbox, was not made for HC 3.2, It was made for gingerbread. 2.3
Some features work. Some, well,,,,,,,,,
Lag in the screen apps, it is HC 3.2 Can't fix it for now.
Well, it's not smooth as some "phones". It works, so until 4.0 releases, it's what we have.
