@TDM do you have any ideas why your text build won't flash but monsters will? Obviously using monsters boost won't work for my sprint more just curious as to why it wasn't flashing with status code 7?
Thanks again for all the awesome work can't wait to use it. It will be a daily for me soon as I can do texting calls and 3g the rest is all trivial to me.

i removed the script asserts
Delete all of the asserts crap from meta-inf/com/google/Android/updater-script
EDIT: it should all be before the first ; but I don't have this phone. Right at the beginning of the updater script

Can I just extract edit and save the file then rezip with say winzip?

Yea thats wha i did. used root explorer
NO! Don't extract it. Open it with 7zip as an archive then make your edits. Make sure signature verification is off.

What did you use to read and edit the file? I don't even see that updater script file when I open it up.

Yeah, I actually did that. I was looking in the wrong file. When I actually got into the correct one, I deleted everything up to and including the first ";" . However, when I try flashing it just says it is starting the install and the next line is install aborted. :what:
This is why I didn't study computer science in college.
Great job to all the real devs working on this project. You make owning android phones fun and exciting!

Still getting the aborting installation notification. Oh well! Thanks for the tips though. I will have to wait until something more stable is released before I really mess something up.
Make sure you didn't make the noob mistake I did without even thinking about it, when you extract the zip it puts everything from that zip into anew folder make sure you don't compress that folder but rather everything inside the folder did that and it works great.
I wouldn't sweat it. All you will do is flip around the menus(which are awesome!) and then flash your previous rom back so you can actually use your phone.
Did you unzip it like I told you not to?
I was able to unzip in root browser edit the file then rezip everything I unzipped again in root browser all from my phone and worked wonderfully
If you just click on the ROM in root explorer, it doesn't unzip it. It opens it as an archive. Clicking and holding then clicking extract unzips it.

Yes and no. What my problem was is that I was opening the file in notepad with 7zip, but not in edit mode, so every time I made changes ti the file it wasn't saving. Also, for it to work in the version of 7zip that I have, a program has to be pre selected as the program to open for editing.
Once I figured that out, I just opened to the file in archive, right clicked on it to edit, and then I was able to save it. Then it worked!
In other words, you were right the entire time, I just wasn't familiar enough with 7zip to follow your instructions. Hopefully this helps someone else out too.

@tdm, what are you using for your build environment, Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit? I have Mint 13 setup and can build from sources fine but it will never boot. My CM7 builds bootloop bootloop as well. Thinkin I'll wipe pc and startover.
I have been working on audio and data but the builds don't boot.
I have modified your built rom and it boots fine and all features work that you said should work. I substitute my boot.img with yours and still won't boot.

If he is using the build server set up by leslieann for the ov, he is using 12.04 64-bit.
