[OLED] 06/Dec r4: MoDaCo Custom ROM (MCR) downloads + Online Kitchen

[Guest ficosaneil]

Hi there,

Did you have to also buy a top-up or did you just pay for the phone? I also have a sim which I ahve not used and if I can only £80 for the phone then I am all over it :)

Hi, the guy only debited my card 79.99, no top up. I just said my mate had got a £20 discount as a payg customer and he was cool

Many thanks for confimring that. Could you please let me know what route you followed to speak to this person? I pressume you phoned customer services as an existing customer?

Hi mate, I called 0800 792 000, option 1 then option 2. Told him was an existing PAYG customer (he checked my number) and then I told him a friend had recently gotten a £20 PAYG discount, no fuss at all, he sorted in about 2 mins. Due to be delivered tomorrow.

[Guest tronads]

Can anyone advise if the custom r3 rom fullfills the following :

"This application requires a "rooted"-device and a custom-kernel which supports netfilter (iptables)! "

This is a required specification on some wifi tethering app I was looking at. I know its rooted, its the iptables bit I'm not sure about.

Thanks.

Many thanks for that. I also managed to get through to a nice enough person to get the £20 discount. However, they insisted on the £10 top-up so it ended up being £90. Still a cracking deal I reckon for what is an excellent budget phone. So glad to be selling my Pulse!

which app was it?

baracle and PDAnet work fine here (apart from the whole wifi-dropping-off issue on the phone) I found PDAnet to work better for tethering because of this.

NEED HELP!

Everything went smoothly until i rebooted after putting the mcri-system.tar.gz file on the sd card. I checked that i had the superuser app, and put the file on the sd card. Then i rebooted and the phone stops and the green android! :) IS THE PHONE BRICKED?! Just got it :) Should i maybe wait longer?

awesome paul.

What are component updates ?

[Guest martin2k]

What is framework-res?

[Guest sensory]

What's with A2SD? I thought you could only use App2SD on Android 2.2?

it's a custom option that Paul added to this rom as a beta.

:)

[Guest Skerved]

Hmm. I'm a bit confused about how it works. If I cook my own rom with r4 of MoDaCo, will I be able to update my previous version (r3 of MoDaCo) without loosing settings and installed apps and stuff?

did u choose the update option in clockwork

Also im connected to adb how do i send the file to my phones sd card?

[Guest thomas01155]

Will there be an r4 superboot?

[Guest jimbobvfr400]

Yes renamed file to update.zip and then booted to recovery (I have quickboot installed which makes this easier)

I just mounted the SD card when I connected it, didn't use adb at all.

is quickboot the clockwork method

[Guest jimbobvfr400]

is quickboot the clockwork method

No. Quick boot is a program on the device that allows booting (either a reboot, recovery or the green man you use with adb) just by clicking a shortcut. Just lazy. Once in clockwork recovery I then flash the update.zip

I don't think that makes any difference to the flashing process.

[Guest Paul]

r4 is a non wipe update.
