Root [International] Omni vs Cyanogenmod

[funkylogik]

Yeah i was gona say, you need the 1.80 SU zip mate :thumbup:

 

[davoid]

do you need to flash it from recovery? because it doesn't work when downloaded from Play Store.



EDIT: Ah, just saw sherlock's post...

 

[davoid]

Uncle funk, it's in your box.

 

[funkylogik]

Yeah just flash it in recovery after the rom.
Nice one thanks bro. Ill d/l it tonight n probably flash it tomorrow :beer:

 

[Yatezy]

For the nightlies of omni you can go into supersu and enable the a script so it keeps root after each install otherwise it'll need to be flashed each time :thumb:

 

[funkylogik]

Cant you flash the latest su update with each flash? Thats what ive been doing for a while with some roms to keep root :thumbup:

 

[Yatezy]

Yeah you can but its a ballache

With the Omni OTA it lost root for me first time (i hadnt enabled the script at that point) but now I just update and it flashes automatically. I could get used to this way of flashing

 

[sherlock5545]

Yeah there's a folder in OpenDelta folder called FlashAfterUpdate, drop anything you need to flash after each new nightly installation, in there. I dropped there Gapps and Boeffla kernel.

 

[funkylogik]

So how exactly do the updates work. Like do you just hit "ok"? Does it boot into recovery?
Think ill flash it when Mrs Logik goes to bed. Did i ask what gapps you used?
so what do i do in superSU?
Just got your post sherlock. Cool thanks mate. So you could throw in say the nexus5 camera for example?

 

[sherlock5545]

Yeah throw anything inside that folder. Make sure you name them in the order you want the recovery to flash the files. Like mine are:

001 - Boeffla
002 - Banks Gapps

Also, the OTA works just like normal officials one. Each morning, just click on Check for Updates. It checks the server and builds a new zip by downloading the necessary files. Just make sure you at least have one full build zip (the one you used the first time to flash the ROM is fine) in your phone, so it can build the new zip by comparing it.

 

[funkylogik]

Cool. And does it matter where in the phone i keep the original zip mate?

 

[funkylogik]

Ps, think i should try a dirty flash over cm11 (4.4.1)?

 

[sherlock5545]

Nope anywhere is fine. Make sure your recovery is TWRP, that's the one that works best.

And no, dirty flashing won't work, I got force closes the other day lol

 

[funkylogik]

Wow twrp is something ive never used lol! Big step for me man. Is it Rom Toolbox thats good for flashing twrp?
Ill defo wait till the mrs is in bed since theres a bit more hassle involved. Cheers mate :beer:

 

[funkylogik]

Haha i never listen so it did dirty flash fine using Philz but yeah, as you said, instant and constant FCs lol unusable.
Ill do a proper flash later

 

[davoid]

I've read that you can use philz as well as twrp to flash the open delta updates.

 

[sherlock5545]

Yeah Philz seems to work too. Well, I've always loved TWRP and since it's the one they recommended, I'm fine with it

 

[Yatezy]

Philz definitely works with the open delta :thumb:

 

[funkylogik]

Excellent. I should really try twrp some day but i love Philz

 

[funkylogik]

Ps, when i dirty flashed, i noticed while booting that the "android is upgrading" window had the pale blue (ics/jb) colour instead of the kitkat bright white. Does that follow through the whole rom? Like is the default statusbar clock blue or white? (I love the white. I had my statusbar set up white on black even before id seen kitkat)

 

[sherlock5545]

It's white, don't worry

 

[funkylogik]

Haha cool :beer:

 

[davoid]

Cyanogenmod are going to remove ART from their rom (but Temasek says he will keep it.)

They claim it's because:

Too many inexperienced users are finding it in developer options, and despite not being developers, are attempting to use this as a daily driver feature, and are complaining it doesn't work.

 

[funkylogik]

Wtf. Im no developer but ive used it on my daily since my 1st 4.4 rom.
on cm we already have to do the stupid taps on build number to get dev options. It should be our choice. Isnt that what custom roms are all about.
Who do they think they are... google? Lol
they could just add a disclaimer when you try to activate it. Stupid CM are becoming less and less cool to me!
Cheers for the info bro :beer:
U got a link btw?

 

[davoid]
