Guest n1729 Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Probably yes, if you don't use a data image for it, but I think you will have to edit the script for this. If you can just upgrade them on top of each other without a full wipe, they should be okay to be used that way. But why would you like to use two roms of the same kind anyway? :S Ok, will try it. Why? Finally i got chance to run all Rom's which i love so why wouldn't I? Got Burstlam CM9 in nand and will run Konsta's CM9 from loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gunapriyan Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Sorry Snap, The procedure you quoted for only upgradation. That is the problem for me. I humble request you to please give the procedure for fresh installation. I am going to start from scratch once again. Pls. Guna http://www.modaco.co...20#entry2015521 Look, if you cannot read and follow the instructions even after i've given them to you several times then perhaps you just shouldn't use this script? What is the use of me repeating myself time and time again if you're just going to ignore what i say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jpeg729 Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) You would do better to READ. Didn't I give you a link to the instructions for a new install in my post? You would get along better if you tried to read and understand the instructions the script gives you as well. For example... Do you want to make an image file to hold the system for this ROM? (not neccessary if it's an upgrade from a previous ROM) Y for yes any other key for no. If you don't want to make an image file, where is it going to put itself? What is the name of the system image you'll be using for this ROM? If you made a system image before for this ROM then use that name () and if you want to reuse a system image file you've created before, use that name. Typos will result in a non booting installation If you didn't create an image file, you don't have an image file and this question is bizarre. Isn't it?

Guest jpeg729 Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) I have finally dissected the boot image produced by the linux script on konstat's cm10. Found the following lines in init.rc # mount mtd partitions # Mount /system rw first to give the filesystem a chance to save a checkpoint mount ext2 loop@/mnt/sdcard/multiboot/ /system mount ext2 loop@/mnt/sdcard/multiboot/ /system ro remount mount ext2 loop@/mnt/sdcard/multiboot/ /data nosuid nodev shouldn't they say something more like mount ext2 loop@/mnt/sdcard/multiboot/NAME_OF_IMAGE_FILE /system I think I have found the error. line 240 in makelooprom in the linux kit if [ JELLYBEAN == Y ] || [ JELLYBEAN == y ] shouldn't that be if [ $JELLYBEAN == Y ] || [ $JELLYBEAN == y ] And finally. Why does makeloopgapps need to know which data image file to use? In theory it really doesn't need to. Edited September 3, 2012 by jpeg729 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Snap.IT Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 @gunapriyan: if you are following the instructions you quoted the script won't ask you for the size because you told it you already had an image file. The first two answers are WRONG. There is another post with a big printout like that, the ones you quoted are for upgrading an existing loop install, not for creating a new one. See these ones I have been trying myself. Used the latest linux script on Konstat's latest cm10 creating new system and data image files. Copied the multiboot folder to the sdcard. Flashed. Did everything exactly as said several times in the thread. Stuck on the green android. Tried running the V5 android script on a plain Konstat latest cm10 install to create a loopboot konstat cm10. Same problem. Strange. I am pretty sure I got the filenames right, but I haven't dissected the resulting boot image files to see what they try to do. I can post the output of the linux script if you like. Yes, please do. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does makeloopgapps need to know which data image file to use? In theory it really doesn't need to. Right you are, the linux script is wrong. Thanks for the heads up, i'll fix it. The makeloopgapps isn't just for gapps, it'll convert any package except for kernel packages (such as Bravia Engine.zip or Beats Audio.zip or in my case since i'm using a GEN3 phone, CM-9-KonstaKANG-GEN3.zip). Remember that any package you want to install into the ROM HAS TO BE RUN THROUGH THE SCRIPT or it will install into NAND.

Might nose around some more later. This part is where your mistake is: What is the name of the system image you'll be using for this ROM? If you made a system image before for this ROM then use that name (cm10) What is the name of the data image you'll be using for this ROM? If you made a data image before for this ROM then use that name (data) You have to type the name before hitting enter even if the suggested name is correct.

Guest stanoo Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 I guess this is worth mentioning, when u run boot nand script from looprom it does so Succesfully but after 2 switchs, when I try to revert to looprom I'm getting stuch on boot forcing me to flash the rominsall again..btw I'm using Mookee in loop..I don't know why...SNAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can make a backup with my CWM 6.0.1.1 for each boot and use advanced restore to restore it if the boot fails, there is really no need to reinstall either way. If you want to make sure it works before you reboot, do this: 1 start terminal session 2 su 3 cd /sdcard/multiboot 4 ls (this is to see the file names of the currently installed roms, for the nand the filename is boot.img) 4 flash_image boot [whateverthenameoftheromyouwanttostart].img Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's excellent for testing when you're changing and compiling, if i can't get the rom right, i can just reboot to another rom until i'm ready to try again.

Guest Snap.IT Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Oops! I thought that was the default, not just a reminder. Thankyou very much. Yeah, i realize that it does seem like it's the default (that's how it usually works). One problem is that i know what the script expects so i don't think much of it but when users start using it they run into problems. :D I'm going to change that later on, right now i'm trying to get a bootloader to load the menu items in a menu so that you can choose which rom to boot during bootup. I should probably spend some time on CWM too, some major changes are coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sdcard and sd-ext should work the same way on a loop install as it does on a nand install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest n1729 Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Which app? The sdcard and sd-ext should work the same way on a loop install as it does on a nand install. I tried installing EA games like Fifa, NFS and for checking I downloaded app Archidroid, it just says cannot install on sdcard. Even cannot restore from Titanium Backup. Thanks for looking into it.

Guest tilal6991 Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Right. Done some more major work into the app and I now think that the rom creation and install works perfectly. The only thing is the boot.img is not being created correctly and so isn't actually mounting system. When mounted manually I can see that the system partition is correct.

Since i'm not at home i can't review your code but one thing i can think of that i had to solve was that unpacking boot.img to a fat 32 filesystem doesn't work since it doesn't support links. I solved it by running the process in an ext2 loop file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gunapriyan Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) Mr.Snap, Finally achieved....CM9 and CM10 is running in my blade. CM10 is my NAND. 1. CM9 is very slow (May be running from SD Card)...Right? 2. Is there any app to switch CM9-10 or CM10-9? Please help me. I must show it to my friends and make them surprise. 3. CM9 is running from SD Card...Apollo player didn't recognise my songs......Is there any problem there? All Credits goes to Mr.Snap......
