The cpu is qualcomm, ms7276? I think let me double check that and get back to you.

The bryce is an lg. and it will be called the lg esteem, it looks like a decent mid to high device too.

1ghz snapdragon cpu 512 ram 4GB internal storage 5mp auto focus rear cam with led flash 4.3 inch screen with 400 x800 res, I think thats the res not positive. LTE 4g Front facing cam, 1.3 mp I think, could be less though. possibly other goodies, I keep up with metro too. lol I had them for a while but could not stand the 1x speed now my wife has my optimus M
that by far is a great first android by the way.:D

OK I have to make a correction, the cpu information I thought I read is not correct, or more accurately there isnt any specific information, it is just listed as single core 800mhz, could be the same one the prevail has really.

Playing around with Titanium Backup today and noticed that it has an option to create an update.zip file to install TB from CWM. I tried both scripting options, Edify and Amend and neither one worked. Apparently, our CWM will no longer recognize Amend scripts and gives instructions to use Edify, which is fine. But, the Edify script also aborts.

Is there a way to get this to work?
 
I do not feel like resetting my phone right now, but I was curious about this:

Now that we have CWM installed, what happens if you select Settings / Privacy / Factory Data Reset?

Will it automatically run the reset option in CWM or does it just bring up the CWM menu or will it do what it used to do or will it do something else?

amend is old and outdated, cwm 2.x was last time it was used. as for teh edify it may not have the correct script made for it. if you pm me a copy of the script ill take a look. whats the error?

Not sure if this is what you need but here it is:


show_progress(0.0,0);
ui_print("");
ui_print("Installing Titanium Backup ...");
mount("yaffs2", "MTD", "data", "/data");
show_progress(0.33,0);
package_extract_file("data/app/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup.apk", "/data/app/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup.apk");
show_progress(0.5,0);
show_progress(0.5,0);
unmount("/data");
show_progress(0.5,0);
ui_print("Done !");


When you try to apply it:

Finding update package
Opening update package
Installing update...
E:Error in /sdcard/TitaniumBackup-4.0.1.zip
(status 0)
Installation aborted

on phone menu, or in cmw?
if in phone menu
I would think it would reboot to recovery, but the rest of the script isnt there so it would not work.

one thing i can think is maybe it thinks the os is gingerbread, i followed the instructions from here

http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/10/porting-clockwork-recovery-to-new.html

if you look at prop files and stuff and other files in in my cmw alot of stuff says gingerbread

but when i tested it, everything was working within cms so i released it

or maybe becuase it is cwm 4 and not supported

i am not sure at this point, if it is because it thinks it is gingerbread, we can probally fix it

if it because it is cwm 4 than we will need to create a cwm 3

this line is broken

its what the error is
Click to expand...

Do not know how to unbreak it, so...

I deleted that line, rezipped the package and ran it again.

Get no error code this time, it just says:

Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Installation aborted.

I also tried it after manually mounting /system and /data, and same thing.

Now, lazy me, not having a copy of winzip, I just used whatever zip comes with Win 7. I would have expected it to crash when opening the package if this was a problem.

After 1.1 was released I used Clockwork to partition my SD card. I could have sworn I selected a ex3 partition but I could have been mistaken. After the 1.1 didn't work I Odined back to rooted stock and just removed the bloat til shabby got everything all figured out.

I was reading about Link2SD and decided to install it and just screw around with it. After setting it up it asked me to select the type of partition I wanted to use and it gave me a list. At first I selected ex3 and it said something about no partition being there or my phone didn't support it. So after that I selected ex2 and it found the 500 MB partition I had made earlier with clockwork. I been using it ever since and its been working great.

I'm kinda confused about this. I am pretty sure I selected ex3 in Clockwork. What are the major differences between ex3 and ex2? Could they be so similar that one could be read by the other kinda like being backwards compatible? If I did select ex2 by mistake instead of ex3 does that mean that the Prevail is compatible off the shelf with ex2 since mine is only rooted with the bloat removed?

this is quoted from the shabbymod thread, but i think it would be good to discuss it here

i've been having a bit of trouble using a disk partition for link2sd and using a backup recovery with CWM

anyone know enough about these two (link2sd & CWM) to help?

btw shabby, if we can get a few kinks worked out you should totally include link2sd with your mod

what problems are you having with backup and restore?

still trying to narrow it down, (as we speak) but from what i can initially guess, is that link2sd seems to work best by creating a secondary partition (as a primary fat32) to store its stuff

CWM doens't like that 2nd partition when it comes time to backup/restore/flash stuff

i think it says "unable to mount /sd-ext" or something like that and just skips over it

even worse whenever i do a backup recovery i think CWM reformats the secondary partition as a ext3 ?? which then causes link2sd to break the connection (even though it says it supports it??? but it doesn't seem to work)

so basically every time you do a backup recovery or flash a new mod, CWM will change the format of the partition to ext3 which requires a link2sd user to reformat the same partition again to fat32 to re-establish the connection to link2sd

i'm not very sure about all of this because i'm testing stuff now, unfortunately i don't have a link2sd expert here to help me determine which end this problem could be easier to resolve from, so i'll just make CWM suggestions for the time being

well it may be that link2sd works with etx files system, but maybe our prevail kernel does not support ext, but I am not sure


i did not create cwm i just made a version of it for this phone, so I am not a cwm expert, but it sounds like it tries to use the first fat partition it finds, when looking for files to flash, and backup and restore and such

for those people that have two fat partions on sd

what happens when you are in android, and plug phone into computer and connect to USB Mass storage, do you see both partitions?

if you just go to my computer it only shows the first partition (same with autoplay), when using a tool like minitool part. wizard you can see both

is the first partition where regular stuff is stored or where the linktosd is stored

and when you use file browser on phone does it show the first or second

does link2sd let you choose which partition you want to use
