Going to maintain this Rom from there

I'm new as a posted to XDA but I'v ebeen making kernels for the Nexus S for a good while now. I've managed to take the GIT of android 4.2 and get to to compile with the crespo source from the cyanogenmod jellybean GIT repo with some minor modifications.
I currently have a GT9020A (fido canada network) and I'm currently running android 4.2 on it with my custom kernel.
Kernel Changes
-Overclocking enabled to 1.3 ghz as that's the highest I could get my phone to go stable
-added VR i/o scheduler as default
-added smartassv2 as default governor
-removed fsync for performance (francisco kernel)
I upgraded this os from a stock android 4.1.2 firmware all I needed to do is wipe cache no factor reset
I don't currently have a working installation of APPS and the image is not rooted. Like I said I'm new to this.
Since I haven't posted on the forums before I can't post a link to the firmware I made. Can anyone help me with this?

I guess the issue is that I haven't currently made 10 posts on xda-developers therefore I'm not allowed to post external links guess I'll have to be patient and post regularly so I can actually get the links out there.

Contact the user darkargon here on xda. Or on irc.freenode.net #andromirror. He hosts builds/roms for free and with great support.
Can we PM? I want to build for sgs1 i9000 which should be similar to your device.
I have fully synced android-4.2_rc1 and cyanogenmod jellybean git repo as you did but now I'm stuck.

Yeah sure we can PM. Like I said I'm new to this but I'll try to help the best I can

It's not that hard to find 10 useful things to post..

I don't think the problem is hosting, as others have seemed to assume. I think he can't post the link without having 10 posts

I would to try that ROM as well. It easy to see 10 posts.

Just post it with spaces in between the letters, that way xda won't pick it up as a link.

the option doesn't exist in the 4.2 stock source because google isn't making one for the crespo. I added crespo to the source from CM10
you can add it by extracting this file to the root of your 4.2 source

[Install Q] Installing DataOnExt, after?

Hey Everybody,
first of all, Happy Merry Christmas,
guys, I try to understand if what I looking for can be done or if there is some way to do so.
I find many NAND Android ROMs which are without DataOnExt, for example HyperDroid-CM7.
But I will be glad to know if can be possible to install DataOnExt after flashing the ROM on NAND.
someone can tell me if this is possible? Please...
Cheers in advance..

Dear Marvlesz,
I was writing a PM to you just to ask you about that but I changed my mind and I opened this thread,
I saw that thread and like always you make me a criminal
That thread is a lot too complicated to make it right, there is not any easy way?
I mean flash DataOnExt anfter installation or something similar?

Haha, I am not making you a criminal or anything, but rather YOU are making yourself a criminal.
I mean seriously, here is a quote of that post:
How is this done?
The Easy way - Thanks to @Kokotas (Note that I have not updated Kokotas' .zip file to include the recent changes (20th October 2012) (See The Long Way below)
Visit the post (quoted below), thank @Kokotas, download the .zip from the post, flash it in recovery and lets us know how it goes. Did I tell you to make sure you have a NANDROID backup?

I noticed that you rarely thank those who try to help you, or even manage to help you!
Thanks by words is not beneficial for them as much as pressing the thanks button. The button is there for a reason.
I also ask you kindly to go over your past threads, such as the almighty battery life thread, and thank everyone who tried to help you. Not just by saying "Thanks!", but by pressing their thanks button!
An example is shown on the above post, the thanks button is located right next to the "Quote" button.

I click thanks for you.
Last one thing, the DataOnExt have to be flasher via recovery, buy I do not have the recovery installed on my Phone, I got Android on NAND which was installed via MAGLDR in Flasher Mode.
Now if I will flash the Recovery my Android will be deleted, right?
I can't find any explanation for this, do I have reinstall all again?

I'm afraid you'll have to reinstall everything from scratch .
Why are you using the flasher anyway? All ROMs that use flasher are old and outdated .
(By the way, I didn't mean just thank me, I meant everyone.)

ACA Gingerbrad was only in this way before the release of 13-12-12 for NativeSD and NAND also via Recovery.

not so, , , OP could use cwm that runs from sd card, and use that to flash the dataonext.zip to the current android, , HOWEVER, , the fact that he has no cwm on there already tells us that the version of android he is using is probably the original proof of concept (desire stock) and may or may not work with an ext anyway (its not rooted, for a start), so OP would be better picking a more up to date rom anyway (one with dataonext built in would be a good start) and flashing again anyway.

I did that on one of my two HD2, 1 have Gingerbrad and the another one have ICS 4.0.4 but currently ICS give me big problems to run programs which Gingerbrad do not have. On ICS I can install the apps but they crash after run them.
So now I try to keep my Gingerbrad but expand it with DataOnExt, anyway run CWM from sd is a good idea, I will give a shot on that, if something go wrong I will reinstall all from scratch again.

I was skeptical when I wrote that sentence, because I knew you'd come and say something like that. Because that happened before.
But I also wanted him to cope with the rapid development of the HD2 and the recoveries. Besides, that ROM is outdated anyway, i.e. the ACA gingerbread.

Howdy - Which stock recovery are you requesting? MDB/MDC/MDL?
The best I can provide you at the moment is the MDC tar. Working on getting the Zip made. You can find those from the links in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258827
(And I need to take time and complete the Repo thread for our Section. I hope to complete this on the long weekend just ahead . )
Also - Might want to keep Questions in the Q&A section even though you're requesting something that should be found in the Development. :beer:

I second this too. I found an img but need a zip file

I need mdc. Let me ask you guys? If I get the img can I just manually put it in a folder to install or i need to actually flash?

You could install it from adb. Or like Moho said there is an Odin MDC recovery that you could use following his link. But give me a few and I will put a zip together also.

with 4.2 cwm puts the backups to the /0 partition of the sdcard... annoying.... you have to move it to your sdcard then move it on your phone from the sd to the sd/0 cwm folder.... i hope that makes sense

Thought it might be helpful to post this here as well I know its not a nandroid backup but here is a link to a ROM that should install on all devices that is HTC dev unlocked
[ROM][6-7-13][4.2.2][2.24.401.1][Root][BusyBox][Odexed][DeOdexed]
Hopefully this is helpful for anyone struggling to find a ROM version that is currently supported by rumrunner.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but...
As far as I know, rumrunner needs the right firmware installed, so this won't help anyone unless they already have a firmware installed that is supported by rumrunner.
Eg my firmware is 2.24.61.1 (CID ORANGE001)
So rumrunner wont work.
Ive been trying to find an RUU for x.x.61.x to send to them so they can add support but have had no luck.
