[FINAL] OMJ's HTC EVO 2.2 Custom ROM v4.6 | FroYo 3.70.651.1 | *Updated 3/29/11*

[jayhuffdaddy]

Hey OMJ, I flashed CM6 today to try it out and I'm already back on your rom. CM6 does have some nice things like major items you can tweak and what not. I just cant seem to part w/what I have here. What I didn't like about it was the phone dialer, no way to setup peak times for email, and the way the screens transitioned. The calendar widget sucks as well w/no way to add an agenda widget like on this rom. However, the available ram was insane and I did like that.

I'm no Spare Parts expert but I dont believe that is a feature of that app

I kinda wonder how this was not talked about here more. Anyone able to put this into layman's terms? I'm not even sure if I use clockworkmod or armon. Is there a clear and easy way to go about removing the old one and getting the right one installed?

Check the Add On section, it even includes a animation for installing.

thanks....I never used spare parts b4, Aamikam had it included in the base, so I left it in, but I suspect that many of the features do not work.....I was searching yesterday for more info, and the thread @ XDA appeared to be no longer supported, so I may remove it from future roms.

have u ever opened a flashable zip to see what was in it? if not, I encourage everyone to, it will give u a basic understanding of the file system structure (if you open a ROM zip), then when u come across a flashable zip, you'll see what files are being overwritten.

the old update-script & new updater-script is located @ \META-INF\com\google\android. The script basically tells the recovery what to do with the zip.

update-script example...

show_progress 0.1 0
delete_recursive CACHE:
delete_recursive DATA:dalvik-cache
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
show_progress 0.1 10

so basically it's saying to wipe cache & dalvik-cache, then copy whatever is in the System folder in the flashable zip to the /system folder on the device.

updater-script example....

ui_print("");
ui_print("Flashing MikFroYo Remove Battery Percent % Power Widgets ...");
ui_print("");
ui_print("Formatting Cache ...");
format("MTD", "cache");
ui_print("");
ui_print("Deleting Dalvik-Cache ...");
mount("MTD", "userdata", "/data");
delete_recursive("/data/dalvik-cache");
unmount("/userdata");
mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
ui_print("");
ui_print("Installing ...");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
unmount("/system");
ui_print("");
ui_print("Done.");
ui_print("First Boot Would Take A While ...");
ui_print("Please Be Patient.");

it is similar to update-script, but the command structure is different, plus you can add comments to print on the screen.

so what Koush was saying is that Google no longer supports the old update-script format, and has switched to updater-script. We have continued to use update-script because our recoveries support both, but ROM Manager w/ recovery 3.0.x only supported the new updater-script & that is why ppl were having issues. Using that recovery, you can only flash a zip w/ the updater-script, and there is still alot of update-script zips out there.

I think Koush is wanting the dev community to switch to updater-script & no longer support update-script & I bet it will eventually happen.

Nice write up Buddy! Fyi to all others, CWM has gone back to v.2.6 which handles both and backs up WiMax as well

... just open up Rom Mgr and it will show 2.6 as the latest (even though there are 3.x versions) and update it, should be good to go ... just don't update again unless ur gonna leave OMJ and switch to CM7 which they are saying will require a 3.x ver of CWM

Thanks OMJ for the explanation. The only time I've extracted ROM's were a couple from you back in the diamond days and it was by accident. also thanks for the tip on cwm. Apparently that's what I have. I'll hit the button when I get home. Damn you Tapatalk! Lol

Hey OMJ, just read this on another board and wondered what you thought about it.

"Fair warning for Evo users: if you use Clockwork Mod Recovery it will not back up your Wimax Partition and you may lose 4G, many people have. With that said, this app (Rom Manager) is awesome for flashing Amon_Ra Recovery. After installing this, go to Flash Clockwork Mod Recovery, when it is done, go to Flash Alternative Recovery. The Alternative will install the latest version of Amon_Ra which was just released today. Amon_Ra WILL back up your Wimax Partition(4G) and is the best Recovery in my opinion."

well tried it out at the gym today, and it pairs right up when i power up the headphones, the volume and play/pause functions work, but when trying to ff/rew tracks the headset beeps, but the phone never responds to those commands

any thoughts?
