Also ofcourse no one cannot learn anything on their own without one depending on some sort of information. Even reading a book depending on the authors way of explaining things is holding your hand to what is needed to be acknowledged, just saying.

Just read this post... Are you serious? lol

Of course people can learn some things on their own. It's what you do when something isn't documented to learn from and you're determined to gain that knowledge. How do you think Humphry Davy created the first electric light that eventually lead to the light bulb by Thomas Edison? He experimented and learned how to do it on his own. People been doing this throughout time. Just saying lol.
 
Tried out the Lucidian ROM, came to compliment on what a good job you did. I do not seem to have any issues. :) I did not have to root it because its already rooted.
 
I want to uninstall some applications to make room for Kali Linux on the internal storage side. What are some apps that some people removed after flashing to lucidian? Is there a list some where?

I uninstalled 42 system apps from the stock ROM. You can uninstall almost all Google apps but the play store and Google play services, any live wallpapers and related apps, um a bunch really but it honestly won't free that much room on the internal storage, there are only 4 gigs to work with really. I don't know anything about Kali Linux so I don't know how much space you need to free.

Just looked into what Kali is all about and I think you probably have to just change the install path in Linux Deploy to your external card (sdcard1). The site says you need at least 5 gigs free and you're only afforded 4 gigs of internal storage.

I have 3.2 GB left to use, I just need a total of 5 GB for Kali, so that's like 2 GB more space.

Right, which is why you should install Kali on your external SD card. I just installed and used a vnc to install Ubuntu and it worked fine from my external - almost done retrieving the Kali packages now, just change where your .img file is going to go (sdcard1 = external & sdcard0 = internal) in the Linux Deploy config before you download Kali and create the image. You want it to go to scard1 instead of the default which is sdcard0. Just make sure you have a big enough micro SD card and you should be fine.
 
Hmm odd, I have 16gb external sdcard with 9gb left. I opened the terminal and did gunzip on bt5.img from the sdcard in cd /storage/sdcard1/bt5, it tells me that the bt5 img does not fit.... how can 5gb not fit on a 9gb ;/ must be doing something wrong idk.

You have to realign the annular confinement beam to a broad band spectrum and then reinitialize the warp core. Then, after you gain access to the primary computer mainframe, you have to disengage inertial dampers while boosting power to the deflector dish.

Dont forget the flux capacitor!! :p
 
Go to the /system/app folder and remove the recovery app then reboot your phone. Then install recovery app like normal from the link in the recovery thread. That may do the trick to fix it.
 
I uninstalled the system app of lte cwm recovery, and installed through application manager. It did the samething... ):

p.s I still have the backup recovery of the original stock on my sdcard/laptop/usb's/external hard drive lol, but I am not planning to go back, lucidian is better.
 
I have an idea of what it is. I think it might be left over data from the non working recovery app install.

Let's try this to see if it works...

Click your menu button and go to manage apps. From there select the recovery app. Now before uninstalling it, hit the clear data button and then uninstall it and reboot. Install recovery from here and see if it works.

You may have tried this already too, but I figured I mention it anyways since people usually uninstall apps without clearing data first.

Doing this got me farther than before. I reboot and it flashed the cwm background with no text for about two seconds and then rebooted again. Close, but no cigar
 
Ok so sounds like it is leftover data.

Lets try to find it.

Go to internal SD and see if you have a folder named "0". Then come back and let me know if you do.
 
I tried the method you suggested, that also did not work. But I do have a folder named 0 and in that folder is another folder called clockworkmod. But the folder is empty, and yes this is in my internal storage.
 
ROM Updated!

Changes:

  • Added CRT screen off animation - video example
  • Moved 2nd-init recovery from /system/app to /data/app
  • Removed annoying LG update notifier
  • Minor improvement to init.d support
If you don't need or care for these updates, then there is no need to flash the rom update.
