You're right, I absent-mindedly misworded my post. However the point about posts that aren't development to be posted on other subforums still stands.
Since you seem to be getting technical on my post, I will point out that the OP didn't have any form of punctuation in the post
Anyway, here is the official changelog from Koush's Google+ page:
Major changes:
Backups now use tar over yaffs for everything except mtd partitions. Backups got way faster.
Backups now preserve the filesystem type at time of backup. Restores will restore the appropriate filesystem type at restore.

Flashed this on wifey's shift last night, tried to run a backup from recovery. Was going good, then failed on /system. Tried running it again and it failed on /boot. Rebooted and phone is fine, however, I didn't have time to try anything else.
Has anyone else experienced back up issues with the new recovery?
Edit in: Resolved, her SD card was full...

Rom Manager is just a front end for the recovery. When you back up thru Rom Manager, it just scripts a reboot into recovery and run the nandroid backup...

Correct so skip all the app non-sense and just boot into recovery and do your nandroid... One sure fire way to have **** go bad is taking too many unnecessary steps, i.e. using an app to start a nandroid... I have had so many issues with cwm borking nandroids that I barely trust it, if at all... and adding an app to that equation, you are setting yourself up for an epic fail... I trust my fingers and brain to hit the right buttons... Not an app...

I use Rom Manager to do backups only when I need to name them. I've had good luck with it on my phone. But that being said. I've also had real bad experiences on other devices, really bad . Like every backup made thru RM being bad, and failing. But if I went thru recovery all was good. So it's not a failsafe method IMO.

HTC Desire V porting with Sense 4.0a. Anyone?

Hi guys,
I've just came across this new device for the Chinese market and here are the specs: http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_desire_v-4805.php
It has almost the same hardware as our old N1, above all NOTE that it has the same Adreno200 for graphics :good:
For now I have downloaded a European RUU (RUU_PRIMO_DS_ICS_40A_HTC_Europe_1.59.401.1_Radio_1.05.34D.25_20.20.30.22U_release_263747_signed) for this Desire V (codenamed Primo?), and I have extracted the system.img.
Now to extract the content of that image I have to play with a Linux environment..
I've tried with unyaffs.exe but this image won't extract with that utility. I think the only solution is to "mount -o loop system.img" or something like that.
Do you think it's possible to do something?
Please remember that I'm only a cooker, with some (a little) experience, but with NO Java knowledge..

i think shaky's Sense 4.0 alpha rom was based on Desire V dump.. dont know if it is worth the effort to start all over again...

Wait. It was based from One V rom. Not desire V
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk 2

I agree with xeloni. Shaky was using the One V rom dump, which has the Adreno205 gpu!
The great thing of having a device with at least the same GPU is that we can have the right GPU files/drivers and maybe have a complete full gpu rendering. Obviously we gonna have to build a 3.0 kernel and proper cpu drivers...

i managed to extract boot_secure.img also.. it had 256bytes of some security key on the beginning.. i had to tail it and then extract.
any way, after extracting, the system.img is more than 600mb.. we need to reduce it to less than 200mb to install to nexus one...
meanwhile im trying to boot with the kernel from the dump.. as of now, its not working.. kernel panic..

[GUIDE] How to keep the old CM10 partition layout & stay up to date with changes

OK, so the debate over partitioning in CM10 is all but done and I'm not going to discuss it here.
I've been building CM10 for my own use with the partition layout change reverted and this works nicely for me. But what about people who can't compile the source for themselves (for whatever reason)?
That's why I'm posting this brief guide to what I'm calling "fudgedating" (its like updating). Using the method below you will be able to stay up to date with all the CM10 nightly updates (except kernel changes) without compiling or doing anything difficult.
ALWAYS MAKE A NANDROID BEFORE FLASHING
I'VE TESTED THIS WITH CM10 NIGHTLIES FROM 23082012 & 22082012 BUT IF IT FAILS TO WORK FOR YOU THEN I'M SORRY, THAT'S LIFE. RESTORE YOUR BACKUP & MOVE ON
What you'll need:
1. My cm-10-20120918-FISHEARS-galaxysmtd.zip file (my nightly that has a working kernel with the old partition layout)
2. Any current Nightly zip of CM10
3. A computer with a Zip-capable archive tool
What you need to do:
1. Make a copy of cm-10-20120918-FISHEARS-galaxysmtd.zip and call it something like CM10-FUDGEDATE.zip
2. delete the /system folder from within CM10-FUDGEDATE.zip (or whatever you called it)
3. extract the /system folder from your official CM10 Nightly
4. add that /system folder to your CM10-FUDGEDATE.zip (or whatever you called it)
Now you have a CM10-FUDGEDATE.zip (or whatever you called it) containing the kernel and partition layout from cm-10-20120918-FISHEARS-galaxysmtd.zip and the system from the CM10 Nightly.
Copy CM10-FUDGEDATE.zip (or whatever you called it) to your SD card and flash it in CWM.
Reboot & profit
NOTE: currently you can NOT flash any custom kernels because there aren't any that support the latest CM10 while still having the old partition layout.
Whenever you want to repeat the process for a new Nighly, just do steps 2,3 & 4 again and flash it as before.
Please don't flame this thread. If you think its a bad idea then please state only technical objections to support your view.
All credit to Team Hacksung & Pawitp for the awesome effort that continues to go into CM10.

Well... old partition nightlies worked very good for me.So I will try this.
Anyway I noticed there are some jb ROMs with less changes than yours calling theirselfs stable so far etc.
Will you make thread of cm10 (or call it like you want) with old partition and newest nightly?
Thanks. Sorry for poor English.

Thanks but I don't want to start the hard work of maintaining a ROM thread. This is just instructions to stay up to date.
I do compile my own CM10 which you can download by clicking on my signature. Again, I won't be starting a thread for this as its really just for me but I don't mind sharing.
I will change the thread title though.

That's good to know. I think we both must have phones with the faster NAND because I didn't see any improvement when the official partition layout changed.

Managed to install your rom, and I got what I want. However I have a probler with Adaway said: /data/data/host not enough spare. Try Adfree solve the problem. Anyway thank you for the idea and rom.
Edit: Just discovered that System had only 300k free space out of 350MB. Maybe I have to delete some not important apk (like those live wallpapers) & unused ringtones.
Edit2: After deleting Chinese & Korean fonts Droidsansfallback , MTL* & Nanum Gothic, I got 12MB free space and Adaway runs smoothly.

A rom more in line with the Slim Bean philosophy (about 280mb system with google apps) would even allow you to create a larger datadata partition (at the expense of unused system partition space, circa 80mb) and improve usability. Using this mind-frame i guess we could gain some 50mb to datadata while still keeping 30mb free in system for people who want to add some removed system apps.
Nevertheless, this is your rom and ultimately your decision.

Its a good idea & perfectly possible. Pawitp just asked for some chip id data in the CM10 thread. It looks like lags could be associated with phones having the older Samsung MoviNand chip. Newer devices have a Sandisk iNand (same as Nexus S). I have the Sandisk so that's why the new partition layout made no difference to me. I'm not sure that increasing datadata would help. I don't use it because I don't see any gain in practice.

[DUALBOOT MOD] Shared Apps

Hello everyone!
First of all, I am posting here as I am not able to post in the Development Forum. If a moderator sees this fit could he/she please move this thread to the Development forum.
This is a mod to Siyah's Kernel which allows Dual Booting.
Currently you are unable to share apps between your two ROM's and to me that is really annoying.
WELL, after much research and testing I have devised a script to allow sharing of apps between ROM's.
WARNING: Should only be used on freshly flashed 2nd ROM's otherwise you will lose all your downloaded apps for your 2nd ROM!!!
They way this works is to mount the data from your 1st ROM in your 2nd ROM, then symbolic link the app folder.
Now for all you people that are going to nag saying it has issues, stop it! If it has issues fix it yourself! I tested this on Omega ROM and ParanoidAndroid and it works fine.
First go through the process of flashing your 2nd ROM. Once that is completely boot into your 1st ROM again and download the attached file and extract its contents to "/data/media" otherwise known as the root of your internal SD Card.
Once completed, reboot into your 2nd ROM and download/open your Terminal app and type in the following commands
(lines starting with # are comments so don't type those into your terminal, also hit enter at the end of each line):
Code:
# Escalate to root (hit grant if a dialog pops up)
su
# Remount the system so you can write to it
mount -o rw,remount /system
# Now copy the file from your SD Card to /system/etc/init.d
cp /data/media/01userinit.sh /system/etc/init.d/01userinit.sh
# Change working directory to /system/etc/init.d
cd /system/etc/init.d
# Rename the 01userinit.sh to 01userinit
# If 01 is already used then choose the next lowest number e.g. 01banner so choose 02
rename 01userinit.sh 01userinit
# Change permissions just to make sure (remember to use your number if you changed the 01 part)
chmod 771 01userinit
After doing this close the terminal and reboot the phone into the 2nd ROM again. This time it should take a little longer and might say its upgrading a few apps.
This is largely untested so there is no guarantee it will work.
WARNING!!!! MUST READ THIS WARNING!!!!
Uninstalling an application from either ROM WILL uninstall it from the other ROM as well!!!
You are sharing apps directly, no mimics or anything!!!
Thanks for reading! Feedback is much appreciated, if there are issues I will be glad to listen and see if I can fix them but I make no promises. :silly:

Nice mod! It is worth noting that the script only links the apps (APKs) between ROMs. It does not link the data (databases/preferences) used by these apps.

Could you please tell me what ROM's you are using and whether or not they are fresh installs.

Just tried this with Omega v28 and PA 2.2 as 2nd, didn't work but not a fresh install. I'm swapping then backing up PA to try again now and see if it works.
Edit: Just formatted 2nd rom and reinstalled as per OP's instructions and it worked. So that's the key I guess Awesome work OP!!

Tried this and didn't work, tried numerous times.
1st ROM: Paranoid
2nd ROM: Omega 28 (did a fresh install)
Does not show any of my apps in omega ROM from paranoid ROM.
I did encounter a problem in the terminal stage, on the moving file part its says can not find the file, I have to do it manually.

Perhaps it's related to that? Make sure you put it in the right spot and have the permissions right.

If I set the permissions manually what's the correct set up, currently it's:
These parts are ticked -
User: read, write, execute
Group: read, write, execute
Other: execute

Easy just copy and paste into the run script of a CWM zip or in AROMA... I assume this will be done?

This basically removes any rom related files in /data partition

Auto Updater Script
Attached a Updater Script Zip for Recovery
Made using GR0S Code and based in an updater zip by mike1986 (SuperWipe Script for Android Revolution HD).
Thanks for your work GR0S.
I haven't try it, so NO warranty

If you're deleting /data/data, you're losing app data so would still need to add titanium restore to this process surely? So its only saving you restoring the apks?

Did someone with higher knowledge could have a deeper look on the script?
If something like that is really possible it will be a real milestone for us, poor flasholics...

If you use Philz recovery there is a complete Rom cleaning script included.

I use it and for me is the best Recovery I have found.
But I think the CWM cleaning scripts do a full wipe / Dalvik ...
And the one here is a diferent aproach.

I do not think this can really work because most of the time, the data that is saved is for system specific data like settings and such. When you flash a new rom which has a different set of settings and system built in apps, the data that is from the old conflicts with the new.
I only dirty flash when I am moving between same based roms but going from CM to Stock it makes sense to do a full wipe.

If you look at the script, it deletes /data/data where that "system data" is stored. It deletes pretty much everything except /data/app, which is why it seems pointless to me

It's my mistake. I intented it to delete system related libs, data and cache from /data
