thanks for your hard work.

 

[EagerestWolf]

I try. I just do what I enjoy. It is always nice when what you enjoy is also appreciated

I thought this wasn't gonna happen. since this phone isn't really that popular is cwm safe to install what doesn't work?

Clockworkmod is completely safe to install. I have it on my phone, which is my daily driver. At this time, you cannot install ROMS from the internal SD Card or HWUserData partition, and it has a weird screen jumping issue, although it works fine.

@a305: It sounds like it will work the same as the Premia CWM. May not be perfect but... Wiping partitions/dalvik, making/restoring backup images are all that is needed to pave the way for flashing custom ROMs! I almost s--- myself when I came home saw this thread here today Thanks wolf!!

 

[androidz305]

Lol I know I checked this forum daily to see development was being made on this phone. I wish there was a way I can help but I don't know much about ROM development.

 

[EagerestWolf]

And suddenly you see not only recovery but also a ROM in progress.

 

[EagerestWolf]

As for your question. There is nothing you need to do to help. Having multiple people on a project only makes it more confusing.

 

[DeadDude]

check the other thread about diff you made.

posted it all

Forgive me, you know I'm n00b.

Is this far enough along to make a ROM backup?
I don't care YET about loading mods through zip files, I like manual mode. Heh.

Think I'll be reinstalling my laptop today... Ubuntu 13 and 7 64bit. Sounds like Linux would be a more consistent environment... agree?

 

[EagerestWolf]

Without a doubt.

 

[EagerestWolf]

As for being far enough along for ROM backup...no. I cannot even get it to install yet

Use this flag in BoardConfig.mk

USE_SET_METADATA := false

and then apply this manually:
https://github.com/temasek/android_build/commit/e6dd009c919c5b33cf04c9a5ef09cf19ae541728

then compile again. it should flash completely after removing props (if that issue occurs also)

 

[androidz305]

Thank you guys can't wait for the final product.

 

[EagerestWolf]

So yeah, I've had this one under wraps for a while because I don't want a billion inbox messages about it, but I gave up on CyanogenMod 10.1 a while ago, I have been working on 11.0 cause I like KitKat better than Jellybean. Bear in mind, this is a very slow ROM to develop. I have no .manufacturer support for KitKat at all, so now I am pretty much Huawei approaching a blank slate, except they have an entire team of programmers. I am working solo.

 

[androidz305]

How can I change my softkeys to ics blue thanks?

 

[EagerestWolf]

I am not certain you can. Those are hard-coded white

 

[rbheromax]

you can mod framework-res.apk to do so.
if anyone wants me to do this, upload your framework-res.apk somewhere and give me the link so i can download and make changes

 

[DeadDude]

I don't think I understand what soft keys are...

Aren't them the three buttons built in? Back, Home, Settings?
I didn't think they were colorable?

Or did they activate the _navigation bar_?

i think he means the soft keys as in the nexus like keys that are "on-screen"

if not enabled by default....you can add this line either /system/build.prop or /data/local.prop to enable soft keys

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

and then reboot

 

[DeadDude]

Gotcha.

I've been playing around with Xposed... pretty slick what is possible.

 

[androidz305]

I meant the three buttons at the already there not the onscreen buttons. Thanks for for the help.
