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

[Guest jimbobvfr400]

Does the prebake include a2sd?

The first post says default kitchen options. If thats the case then no as A2SD is unticked by default

[Guest paoloo]

Today i get my second Sf from ebay uk, unlike the first one i bought it has a modaco software preinstalled. I have now the problem that i like to use my own baked modaco signed rom from the kitchen. I installed Clockwork (was not installed before) and copy the rom zip on my sd, but when i try install the zip i get an error:

......

copying files...

E: Cant symlink /system/bin/iwconfig

E. Failure at Line 6:

symlink iwmulticall SYSTEM:bin/iwconfig

Installation aborted.

Than i tried to install a stock Orange System with no Problem also with ClockworkMode.

What im doing wrong? I thought that i might have a corrupted image and downloaded a second time from the kitchen same failure...

EDIT: Installing Sebastians 404 Rom is also sucessfull... why i cant update to MoDaCo ??? Hmmm

Yep, mine does that too - quite annoying. Gmail IS pushed by default - who do you think makes Android OS? :P

Go into settings -> sync and check background sync is enabled?

[Guest waj1234]

Thanks for the prebake Paul.

[Guest NexusX]

Who's brainwave was it to have this "WaveSecure" shite installed by default? It keeps bugging me to register, AND IT WON'T UNINSTALL!

I appreciate the ROM, but seriously dude... sort it out, please.

[Guest Paul]

Noted, I will reconsider whether to include WaveSecure etc. in future prebakes.

[Guest Paul]

Oh, and you CAN just remove via adb...

adb shell rm /system/app/com.wsandroid.apk

adb shell rm /system/app/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup.apk[/code]


Simples.

This worked for me. Happy on r4 now.

It also worked for me after I logged out and back in to Talk.

Please keep posts on topic, relevant and most of all POLITE. MoDaCo is a friendly forum, and anyone trying to threaten that will be excluded.

rm com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup.apk

rm: remove 'com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup.apk'? Y

Y

rm: can't remove 'com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup.apk': Read-only file system

what i'm doing wrong? (adb from windows with phone running)

Do 'adb remount' first. :P

Also, it should be 'rm /system/app/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup.apk'.

[Guest sblg]

Thanks Paul! "adb remount" did the trick!

[Guest lljkpugna]

Nice work on the new ROM :P

My faith in the complete decentness of the MoDaCo devs has been totally restored. Cheers!

[Guest DeDroid]

First post :P

Just want to thank Paul and anyone else that may be involved in the development of these roms!

You've made my San Fran even more of a bargain!

Keep up the good work!

Also wanted to note...not sure if its because of R4 but my battery seems to be a little more honest now...before it would shutdown at 8% but its going all the way down now :D

Would I be correct in thinking that the "default kitchen options, no MoDaCo Additions" r4 ROM has apps2sd and no wavesecure? Which other Modaco additions are missing from this particular ROM?

Thanks

[Guest Marinetux]

Thank you Paul for the public release of r4! :P

[Guest 2smart4class]

Go into settings -> sync and check background sync is enabled?

Where is the Sync menu you are referring to??? its not in the Gmail app settings or the SF settings???? thank you for you help Paul.

you have the rom as presented in the kitchen with default options checked

so no app2sd and you've got wavesecure

[Guest flatnote31]

Where is the Sync menu you are referring to??? its not in the Gmail app settings or the SF settings???? thank you for you help Paul.

From the HOME SCREEN, press the MENU button (mid button in the bottom strip), then choose SETTINGS, then ACCOUNTS & SYNC, then check BACKGROUND DATA

and you're done :P

Can't remove /system/app/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup.apk ; no directory or file found

what am i missing here?

[Guest Paul]

The first r4 download is with the default options as displayed in the kitchen, the second is the same but without the 'MoDaCo Additions' section - i.e. no Spare Parts, Titanium Backup, Wave Secure or WiFi Indicator.

By request. :P
