Root {Beta}White Widow and Suave Smush Automatic Updater Beta.

[andrizoid]

I wish I knew java, then I could make this into an actual app. Its something Im workin on in the long term future though. So for now, this is the best I can do. I thought it was a pretty good little work around.

Some of you know I have a website where *some* of my downloads are hosted. Once I get the rest of them hosted on there rather than multiupload etc. I can implement the actual downloads of the roms. The code is already there, just commented out till I get the direct host.

Lots of things will be added in the very near future, and Im updating it literally every couple seconds. What i really need from you is feedback and what you would like to see in the next releases.

Extract this file anywhere on your computer and run the script.

This is a shell script so it will only work on linux. Sorry windows users, I dont know batch scripting. If someone wants to go through and convert it feel free!
For now though, you may want to look at Cygwin Information and Installation.

Andrizoids Updater 0.8.

Current Features.

echo "7 | Choose a rom to download."

Protip, pico has been replaced with nano in most distros. While pico should linked to nano, to be on the safe side I would personally use nano in your scripts.

 

[andrizoid]

thank you. i fixed it in the new version.

 

[andrizoid]

no interest at all?

 

[fenwaynomar45]

I would love this, I just don't have linux. I hope you can get this working and perhaps have someone make it into an app! keep up the great work!

 

[cornbreadfarts]

most of us are on windows, i think that's why you're not getting responses.

 

[DDustiNN]

Yep, Windows here...

 

[andrizoid]

that blows. anyone know batch scripting? i can help convert it.

 

[cornbreadfarts]

ill read up on it and get at you this afternoon

 

[ahjee]

windows here as well but definitely interested in this love the W.W. ROMS and strain haha

 

[andrizoid]

if you happened to be running smash 1.1, and you checked the updater you would see an update coming soon.

You can get bash shell scripts to work on windows pretty easy. I use MSys for unix tools on windows. I add the msys bin dir to my path and just open a command prompt and type bash to get access to unix scripts

There is also cygwin but I've never liked it that much.

did it work for running this?

This would be awesome if it worked on windows, or you could get it to work on windows. Cuz i love WW and would love to see future updates.

 

[L0stS0ul]

I'm not home yet but I can try it when I am. If msys doesn't have everything cygwin will that is for sure. If I can compile ffmpeg with it a little script will work I'll let you know how to set up an msys or cygwin environment to run it tonight.

I hate bat file scripting. Bash is so much better.

 

[L0stS0ul]

A. Install Cygwin

1. Download the cygwin installer from http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe
2. take the defaults till you get to the "packages" screen.
Leave the default selections and add the following:
-- /web/wget (you can search wget as well)
-- /editors/nano (you can search on nano)
3. once the install is finished double click the Cygwin icon on the desktop and a bash prompt will come up
4. Type "cd c:" and hit enter
5. you'll now be on your "c" drive.

B. Make sure Android SDK is installed properly.

1. Make sure that the base Android SDK is installed and that the USB drivers are installed and working. I install mine to c:\android-sdk-windows
2. in the cyqwin window type "cd android-sdk-windows/tools" and hit enter
3. Plug in your phone and type "./adb devices"
-- If nothing comes up then you need to get the usb drivers installed and functioning correctly. There are other tutorials on how to do that so follow those.
- If it works then you are ready to run the script. Extract the Updater from the zip file into the android-sdk-windows/tools directory
4. type ./Updater

The only thing that doesn't work is the "clear" command used to clean up the terminal. Cyqwin does not provide a clear utility.

 

[L0stS0ul]

If you really want the "clear" command to work you can use this. The zip file is just a file with the following command in it 'echo -e "\E[2J"' so you can even create it yourself. Or do the following

1. Extract the zip file to C:\cygwin\bin
2. in the cygwin command window type "chmod +x /bin/clear" and hit enter

now the "clear" will work and the script should run as intended.

Would be sweet if we could have an app that would update regularly. Would make White Widow even more popular.

[Ciggy]

Cant wait until it's an app and we can just have a widget that lets us know when you updated the rom

 

[chaM87]

I know some one who has been writing android apps all summer... If the OP pm's me with an email address I will give it to my friend. After I ask if he would be willing to make an application. If he says he would, then I will give OP his email and they can work on it together.

Let me know.

[cornbreadfarts]

i like this. looking forward to everything you add.

 

[funkyfender]

Unless I'm mistaken, all this does is download the whole new rom image (if there's a newer version), push it to your sdcard, and reboot into recovery mode, right?

 

[andrizoid]

no.
it doesnt even do that yet lol.
this is a super early beta build. give me some time to work on it a bit more-im halfway through a cross country move right now.
