nimper posted:So you're saying that it's the install script's fault, not the recovery's fault? That sounds about right to me. Maybe a good recovery would have caught the error in the install script but back then neither TWRP or CWM recovery was able to do that apparently. I used CWM hosed my galaxy s aswell time ago when flashing CM9. I use TWRP on my S4 and TF201 (even the kitkat compatible ones) and never had a single issue. TWRP is fine to me and i read complains about both, not mostly CWM or TWRP especifically. I have a newer cwm on my galaxy s running CM11 and is fine. So as LastInLine said is mostly a script issue i guess.

LastInLine posted:What version of CWMR are you on? One of them had a lot of trouble with KitKat but it's since been resolved. You should be on 6.0.4.5/6 or thereabouts. 6.0.4.7, in fact. It was cwm touch, I just flashed the non-touch version. I'll try another backup later to see if it's any different.

I don't see the issue on my N5 on the 6.0.4.6 version. Edit: I did a little research, the problem was with 6.0.4.4 and it was really slow at wiping /cache. This shouldn't affect backup time. If you use DiskUsage do you see anything that could be causing it? ClassActionFursuit fucked around with this message at 12:42 on Jun 8, 2014 |

Anyone know how to clear up the "insufficient storage" bug? I have plenty of space left, it's not cache or leftover files. I'm suspecting that somehow folders have lost/changed permissions and it's not able to write to these when updating applications. Anyone know the exact fix for this? The web is full of idiots hocking poo poo software and parroting the same stuff over and over.

Seriously, my only non-rooted device is my less than a week old nexus 7, but youtube ads and having no adblock is starting to be a huge deal for me. My S4 is already running 4.4.3 (gpe rom), any eta on it for the N7? I want to wait the rooting ritual until i get the update.

Got a Nexus 5. Should I just use CF Auto-Root or is there a better way? Also, can it be done without a SIM-card? I'm waiting on a micro-SIM to arrive so I thought I might root it meanwhile if possible.

You'll need to fight with drivers if you have Windows. You can download the Android SDK which includes the drivers you need for Windows.

Hey ya'll. Some Android scripting questions: I'm trying to write a .sh script which will install an app. When i run the command "pm install *name of apk*.apk, it works fine. When I put that same line in a script, I get "failed: INVALID_URI", thats not the exact phrasing but something similar. Ive googled the poo poo out of that error and seen tons of questions and only a few answers, all of which say its some fundamental rom issue and to reflash the rom. That sounds crazy and not probable. Yes im doing this all in root. Ive tried changing permissions on all kinds of folders "/system, /data, /data/local, ect) and no dice. Anyone have any experience which what Im trying to do? How do you install an apk from a script (not just terminal emulator)?

By *name of apk*.apk are you using an absolute path? Is the shell script executing the commands in the directory you are thinking it is?

You do not need to touch the kernel (and gently caress those stupid Sony devices where this is a thing). I use TWRP but for the amount of time you'll ever spend in recovery it doesn't matter much. Unless you are particularly clumsy at operating a touchscreen, Touch is probably less fiddly.

I am executing the script from the path of where the .sh is located. For instance, if the .sh is located in /data/data/com.myscript.com/myscript.ph, I execute it from that directory. If the apk is on the sdcard, the scirpt calls for "pm instal /sdcard/directory/to/app/targetapp.apk" Is there something wrong with my syntax?

Rirse posted:There is a new firmware for the Nexus 7, but is it safe to download or would I lose data? You will lose root, and you'll probably either have to apply the OTA manually in recovery or fastboot update the factory image. Data is not affected and you can re-root immediately.

I updated my Verizon SGS3 to the newest CM Nightly, but now the OS has two files downloading that show up as "null". Rebooting the phone and clearing the cache won't get rid of it. It doesn't seem to be affecting anything, it's just annoying.

LastInLine posted:CM offers inbuilt functionality that might be similar. What did LBE do, exactly? How did it differ from AppOps? I've been out of the loop for several years, mind you, my last phone was a Nexus S running 2.3.4. It was this Chinese-developed app that was able to block specific app permissions like internet access, access to contacts, messages and the like at root level, but then it was updated at some point and the name and description changed into Chinese, so I never updated beyond that. I'm also wondering, if I root my Nexus 5, will I have to wipe the phone everytime I sideload an OTA? And is AdFree still the go-to ad remedy or has somehting better replaced it? I mainly want to root to get rid of ads and gain control over permissions, but I'd also prefer keeping the OS vanilla.

Also you should've updated your Nexus S to at least Ice Cream Sandwich, that phone was great on 4.0. ClassActionFursuit fucked around with this message at 23:23 on Jun 11, 2014 |

Did you ever have the "phone.process"-whatever crash bug when flashing to the newest version on your S3? if you did how did you end up fixing it? Im stuck on the 20140206 nightly because I cant update the phone without the dialer constantly crashing, to the point where I can barely get a keypress in to reset the device. Even after a drat full factory reset.

I can't tell which of the two actually fixed my problem however as I flashed both zips at once.

Something weird happened to my HTC One (My) (i.e., last years' One.) I have the Dev edition that shipped with the unlocked bootloader, and a month or so ago finally got around to upgrading it to the Google Play Edition ROM (4.4.2) A couple of days ago,I got the notification for the 4.4.3 update. I didn't install it, because I didn't want to lose root (which I only have around for Xposed/GrqavityBox stuff now.) Well, this morning, the notification went away...and even if I go to Settings->About Phone-> System Update, it says my phone is up to date. I mean...overall, i guess it's nice to not have that persistent notification, but it seems weird it went away. Did Google/HTC pull the update for the M7?

Thanks for all your suggestions, I'm downloading stuff and getting ready to root. I found this which seems to indicate that I can even accept OTAs regularly and keep root if I use SuperSU, provided I uninstall Xposed first. Any experiences with that?

Tunga posted:SuperSU does have that survival mode thingy but it's a bit hit and miss, it's more designed for devices on which reapplying root is a more complicated process. On a Nexus device you can re-root the thing in like twenty seconds so it doesn't really matter. But will I still have to sideload the OTA? Will accepting one just fail or gently caress up the phone somehow? Sorry for all the stupid questions, I figure I might as well dot all the i's while I wait for that drat SDK to finish downloading and then battle with the driver.

As Tunga said the survival mode thing isn't for Nexus devices. Rooting a Nexus takes 30 seconds from start to finish, trying to avoid having to do it again is silly.
