Root [ROM][WIP]CM7.2.0 RC1-BobZ

Always buy OEM cables....

I have used some old samsung cables i have from when I owned a Code. Works like normal.

On a side note, i have to keep the cable connected a certain way, because if I move it around too much it will quickly disconnect and reconnect. Not much of a problem unless i'm trying to get something and i accidentally kick it (hasn't happened yet.)

Because its not the right cable it happens....or that cable could be partially damaged or ur USB is...
 
This probably applies to all androids and ROMs including stock (if it has flash player installed).

FYI- I'm going to be spending the next couple of weeks attempting to fix a glaring security hole in Android. Downloads are started without asking the user's permission, resulting in the Not-Compatible drive-by vulnerability to be exploited more and more recently.

I posted about this in several forums a few months ago, but no one seemed to take me seriously then. Now it's become a true problem I cannot ignore any longer. This drive-by vulnerability allows an infected webpage to take over your phone if you simply load the webpage up in your browser. With the combination of Flash-Player vulnerabilities announced last nite, this is a truly huge problem. Just visiting a bad webpage could allow your phone to be taken over, sending sms to premium numbers, stealing your personal info, and even initiating phone calls to premium numbers. And that's just the tip of the iceburg!

I will not be working on other issues until I manage to get a properly working interstitial dialog inserted into the download process. TBH, I can't believe AOSP has allowed this behaviour, and I will do what I can to get it changed upstream. Till then, please please be careful when visiting websites you are not familiar with. If you see a download beginning in the background without your interaction (ie you didn't click on a link to download something, it just starts on it's own), your best bet is to pull your battery, put it back in and boot into recovery, then do a full wipe/format and re-install the ROM. Hopefully you have TB backups to re-install your apps afterwards. This is actually dangerous enough for me to recommend such drastic measures!
 
i would just like to add for help and info that i had the same problem as ZOOLAHiSHKOBOB with the "invalid package file" message and i flashed apps2sd and my titanium backup worked like a charm. thank you Ownagecat for the link
 
Bump!

Still my favorite rom for OM. But the newest version took a step back in stability for me, too many FC's and freezes.

Sammyz mms patched of your 2/21 rom is the best cm7 rom I have used.


Keep up the good work BobZ

Same for me too, I heard MMS works out of the box for the newest version though.
 
Try moving and/or deleting the 01mvdalvik file out of init.d, located here: /system/etc/init.d/01mvdalvik, clear market cache and data, reboot recovery, wipe cache/dalvik_cache, reboot.

Hey Bob, I'm new to the posting part so forgive me if my etiquette is off. I'm getting a "Package file is invalid" on the market after flashing The Godzilla Rom. The market worked at first then started giving me errors. Reboot, then works a little. Now not at all. I did everything else (clearing caches and such, flashed Godzilla 3.0, etc) but I can't find 01mvdalvik file to try that. Any suggestions? Let me know what other information I can include to make this easier. Thanks!

The Godzilla ROM is for the Optimus V, and it's ICS, this fix was for any gingerbread ROM, ICS is completely different :p I currently have Godzilla ROM on my phone, I have no problems, try reflashing. I signed in on first boot. When I did that, all my apps were downloaded automatically (and annoyingly all added to the home screens).
 
Has anyone noticed that when you flast the latest. Theres the metro splash on it. and the red lg one too at the same time?? is this part of his kernel change?

Sammyz, does the "Godzilla ROM" work on the Optimus M?

If so, is there anything I have to configure in order to make it boot properly? (Replace modules, modify build.prop, etc?)

I don't have the Godzilla ROM on my M, I had it on my OV. We can't get a Godzilla ROM port until we have a fully functional ICS...

This person asking about the Godzilla ROM to begin with has either an Optimus V or S....
 
Thanks for the heads up again. Ill be contacting said developer for obtaining tester status.

Although, as many OM users as there are, and many who want ICS, I'm fairly certain the developer has a pretty good OM test base.

Guess there's only one way to find out...

He doesn't own an OM... he doesn't have anything to test it on...that's why he needs testers, BobZhome doesn't own an OM

Well, now that this thread got completely derailed... Might as well keep it derailed for another post ;)

I sent out a request, so we'll see what happens. I'm really interested in getting this ported to our little device, however my porting knowledge is very limited to CM7 and the HTC Wildfire S. I'm sure its not that much different with CM9 and this phone, but never having worked with either, I just dont know.
 
Ill definitely give testing a shot. Do I need to contact him directly or is this fine?


tdm or BobZhome?? BobZhome selects a tester per device that he doesn't own that he develops on. tdm is asking for testers. Read a couple posts back and you'll see the link to contact tdm.
 
just updated to this rom to check it out, like the ics lockscreen everything seems fine so far, seems a little faster even keep up the good work
