Root Awesome Android Update 4 Released

[DimBulb]

Is there a chance somebody could throw the CM9 messaging.apk in a flashable zip for me? the one in in the rom has a glitch where its black text on a dark background so its hard to read.

When I installed update 3, (to Shinrus Awesome Android), the messages and contacts, became too hard to read, but when I re-installed Guspeeds Awesome Android Theme, that was corrected.

Damn that took forever to find. I must be tired.

Anyway, IF this helps, good, if not, no harm done right?

It never changed mine the contacts names are still all black along with the background on the first messaging screen....drives me crazy....love the Rom and theme though great work

But got it now went back to aa update 2 and made backup of messaging app in titanium then uninstalled and restores it when I went back to update 3

Good fix, lot's of doing to get there, but happy ending, alright!

 

[shinru2004]

Don't worry i haven't forgot about this rom lol. I'm working on AOKP and cm10 with the other Devs. I'm doing aokp on my own though. So its taking some time.

Hey we still don't have voicemail notification right?

 

[shinru2004]

Correct, im still working on it

 

[junkie2100]

hey shin, you should put a note somewhere in the op that the updates are not the full rom, some guy just bricked his phone kuz somehow it went back to stock recovery after he flashed just update 2

 

[sinister_drake]

I got it installed and updated. and now I'm getting a message to update but its not from goo.im, I'm assuming this is an official ZTE update, can anyone confirm this? and if so, how do I keep it from popping up?


btw Shinru, awesome rom man. very snappy.

 

[shinru2004]

Install update 1 it has an app to kill ota updates from ZTE/boost mobile

 

[sinister_drake]

I installed update 3 from the goo manager. Will that affect anything?

 

[junkie2100]

hey, i need your help since you have the ota, i need the zip file it downloaded, it would be encoded by zte and flashable with stock recovery, it could save alot of lives. i was told it downloads into cache but i could be wrong

 

[sinister_drake]

How would I be able to access it?

 

[junkie2100]

a root browser of some type. then youll be able to access the cache folder, might be in the carrier folder though, any and all .zip files you find in both places just grab them and we can sort out what is what after

 

[sinister_drake]

OK. I'm out and about right now. I'll do that when I get home.

question: I installed this rom, and then goo manager told me there was an update, which it downloaded update 3. Do I need to download and installed updates 1 and 2 and install them?

if I do that, will it mess up my rom?

Having also done the jump to Awesom Android, but before upgrade 3 existed, I'd say yes to installing update 1 and 2 and 3 and gapps, (mostly since what harm will it do?).

Somewhere in this thread, someone, posted in the comments, his clarification of how and what's involved in successfully loading this ROM, and it's gapps, and each successive update.

I understand the guessing game can be hard on the nerves, so I slow down, read, than re-read, and than assemble (on paper) the step's suggested. I still screw up, but it's always because I'm impatient and too casual ... thinking I "get it" when I really don't have the slightest idea of how to do something, (that apparently "everyone one else" get's so damned easily).

Read especially the posts by the people who "bricked" their phones. It's humbling to know, that easily could be me, if I don't self-restraint, and take every precaution I'm talking about.

Let me get this completely straight. I install RC-1, then Update 1, then Update 2?
I'm not quite sure how gapps fits in. Would I install that after RC-1, U1, and U2? I don't really feel like bricking my phone again, which was because I wasn't completely clear about what I needed to do.

Install rc1 than install update 1, then install update 2, then install update 3, than install the gapps package...voila!!

 

[shinru2004]

Updated links in op with order of install. Should be no more confusion

Shin,

Looks like update 3 went away.

Shin,

Looks like update 3 went away.

It's on goo manager

 

[Josh 443]

I have installed and like it a lot so far. Is there any way to change the theme, without installing a custom launcher? Additionally, is there any way to overclock?

Hey it might have I'm not sure....but just weird it happened to me twice on awesome Android....it also could be a ZTE hardware issue....I had my sd card unexpectedly unmount today on stock and that can burn out sd card also and that's what my second sandisk card kept doing on awesome......we'll never know till more get fried lol

 

[bobdamnit]

I can't see a ROM burning an SD card, unless it constantly reads, writes to, and erases data from the same blocks over and over.

I'd imagine Android would slow to a crawl if that was happening. I've burned up SD cards by using Apps2SD with Android, however I expected it because every time you access that app, its going to read and write to the SD card.

SD card life is finite. It will only take so many reads, writes, and erases before it dies. How heavy you use the card will determine its life.
