I want to install GladiAtrix 3 but i can't find the “Install zip from SDCARD” option in the recovery mode. There is only a "install update.zip" or something like this. Any help?
I'm on 1.83 with Glingerbreak 1.20 and GladEnable.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There are 2 menus to go through.
The first should have the following options:
- Reboot system now
- Apply SDCARD :update.zip
- Apply SDINTERNAL update.zip
- Wipe DATA/Factory reset
- Wipe CACHE partition
- Install zip from SDCARD
- Backup & restore
- Mounts & storage
- Advanced
- +++++Go Back+++++
The second should have the following options:
- apply sdcard :update.zip
- choose zip from sdcard
- toggle signature verification
- toggle script asserts
- choose zip from internal sdcard
- +++++Go Back+++++
If you aren't getting these menus, I would reinstall Tenfars CWM and try again.

maybe he was using the regular recovery and not CWM.

Sorry, but devhost deleted the ZIP , don't know why.
Will try it to upload another time.
Why not use mediafire or a shared file in dropbox.
Is there anywhere else I can obtain some of these files in the meantime?

You need to format system data cache and then mount system data cache in cwm before flashing a rom zip
Mount everything under the mounts & storage section
If system is mounted it will display "Unmount system"
If it say "mount system" select it so it changes to "Unmount system"
Do same for data & cache

Hi everyone !! Someone recently requested a tutorial on how to install CrDroid with root access and micro g included. For this reason, I decided to make a YouTube tutorial about it and I though I'd share it here on XDA in case anyone is interested in the installation. If you need any help with the installation process please let me know and I'll be happy to assist you !! Feel free to reply with any requests for new tutorials and I'll be happy to make them for you !! Without further a do, I leave you with the installation process.

Nice tutorial but unfortunately "erase system" isn't working for me. I am on windows and I'm also giving a space as well before hitting enter. It does shoes my phone's serial number which means its connected properly. Any solution to this problem, thanks in advance, cheers.
No fast charging on these roms, I don't even know how we can use them every day
Not all GSIs have this function and even when we manage to add it (by flashing Lineage OS19 which has it), we manage to display the fast charge and even the charging power in real time, we do display a charge fast, but loads horribly slow ^^'
In short, go your way for all PixelExperience / GSI roms
I am desperately looking for a Pixel/AOSP based rom on this model, nothing to do, none of these roms work properly
Lineage has a rotten network, PixelExperience/CrDroid GSI have no fast charging, nothing helps, impossible to use it like that
Not to mention the cameras that are unusable under AOSP/Pixel (and don't talk to me about the compatible Gcam variants, because they absolutely don't work (yes, if 2 out of 5 cameras don't work, for me the application is not usable )
In short, if you want a Pixel rom, buy a Xiaomi
Ok its installed eventually... lolz, nice rom I'm loving it, in my limited use till now everything seems to be working fine and its blazing fast, thanks for the tutorial, will report back with some more feedback soon, cheers
New link please
