See I think I've over read so much on all the Roms and from months ago till now that I have confused my self. I have watched the broken switcher app by dfuse. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I havnt seen instructions on the install of BrokenOS with the switcher app, if so please point me in that direction. I appreciate everything that all the devs and members have done in this community and like I said above just need some clarity on this and don't want to leave anything out.

The procedure for flashing any rom on the zmax is the same as any other device, other than the fact that we have to use switchers to get access to the system partition. All the instructions and info for using switchers can be found on my thread in the first 2 posts. Its a sticky thread so it should be pretty easy to find.

The way to use the broken switcher is just a little different because it is done via an app instead of flashing zips over and over. The zip for the broken switcher just installs the app and puts the needed files on your internal storage. It also does put an "old fashioned" restore zip on your internal storage in case you do something that causes a bootloop.

I see that you have already downloaded the BrokenOs ROM zip, GApps, & Broken Switcher zip.
Just reboot to twrp, advanced wipe(system, data, cache, & dalvik), if you want to format data also that is fine as long as anything you want to keep is already on your SD card. If you don't format data then I recommend you delete any and all unnecessary files and folders on your internal storage with a file manager before you flash.
Next flash the ROM then gapps then broken switcher in that order. Also don't reboot in between flashes because that has always caused gapps problems for me in the past. Just flash all three back to back in the order I mentioned. There is absolutely no need to wipe anything after flashing the ROM, gapps, & switcher. Wiping after you already wiped then flashed is just redundant.

Dude, you are awesome!! I really appreciate you taking time out to help me out. That is the best post I have seen for this Rom and I'm sure it will help many more people than just me, and save some devices. I havnt got around to it yet because I am studying the way to go back to stock if I have to. I did get the zips from your thread about switchers and also downloaded the md5 checker and checked all the zips for broken and for the stock boot and restore zips and all were verified successful. Got everything moved to sdcard and saved all on a flash drive too, for double backup, just in case of sd failure. You and people like you are what makes this the best android forum around.

Does brokenOS have a way to wifi tether?
 
Awesome ROM and great community!! Thanks to D-FUSE and BrokenOS devs my shit looks and runs great. Big thanks to Masterchief for the install help.

so, I'm not sure if I'm out of line with this or what... I'm a huge fan of lucky patcher and xposed. are they unusable with this rom?
 
/temp closed


ok, so I've removed the harshness and name calling in here and re-opened the thread.

As far as Lucky Patcher, it was said that it doesn't work...leave it at that and any more discussion about it out of this, and out of AF...that app for the most part cheats devs.
Thanks, any questions just contact me :)

Okay, two things here:

(a) STAY ON TOPIC. Thank you.
(b) Piracy is illegal and discussing ways to do so are forbidden by site Rules. And I would love to see your source for your information regarding the statement that "100% of everyone here" downloads pirated material... I do not, nor do a lot of other people. I download things just as soon as I have PAID for them, as I respect the hard work that goes into what I'm downloading and feel obligated to pay the producer of such material for their hard work.

LOL,I find it funny how most of the people here at AF don't download crap. Most of us appreciate the works devs put into their work and support them for it. I find it amazing that your post went without any likes while the first post I quoted had 8 likes.
 
Piracy is not a victimless crime!!!

Some of us have families and count of the ex little bit of money from a paid,and believe me when I say little bit. Most probably don't know, but you get taxed by Google. So if I have an app for 0.99 I actually only get paid 0.69 a download. This is also after I've sent hour and hour debugging and coding. Not to mention the $25 fee I had to pay to even be a play store dev. Apple changers developers $100 a year to be and Apple dev. It is crazy how people don't want to pay a few bucks.

If you don't like it you can return the app for a full refund. You have like 30 mins in the play store.
