Guest Bk619 Posted September 23, 2013 Report Posted September 23, 2013 I posted it because people were asking for it.. Everybody has the right to choose.
Guest PaulOBrien Posted September 24, 2013 Report Posted September 24, 2013 Good morning all!Firstly, apologies for the lack of updates - I've been busy working on a number of things, but that includes the next update for Switch! Switch has always been about not just a single release for a device (or a couple of devices), but also about enabling the Switch concept for a wider audience. With that in mind, i've been porting the internal changes for Switch to use the Xposed Framework, a task that is about two thirds done (and has presented some interesting challenges!).What does this mean? Primarily it means that the ROM(s) used by Switch can be updated completely independently of Switch itself, which means faster updates when new releases come out, but also the ability to use other custom ROMs in Switch. Which i'm sure you'll agree will be awesome. :)I'm aware that a GPe OTA is now available and i'll be incorporating this into a new Beta shortly, as well as updating the main ROM as required.Rest assured, more awesomeness is coming! Thanks for your support. :)P
Guest PaulOBrien Posted September 24, 2013 Report Posted September 24, 2013 I just read the OP and Paul actually called it a "unique concept".. At least be honest man :/If there's something else that does the same, please share! :)P
Guest swa100 Posted September 24, 2013 Report Posted September 24, 2013 Hey Paul, Great to hear from you! Do you have any idea when the new beta will be released? I'm looking forward to it!
Guest PaulOBrien Posted September 24, 2013 Report Posted September 24, 2013 No, I don't have a firm time right now, but I am doing my best! :)P
Guest Bk619 Posted September 24, 2013 Report Posted September 24, 2013 If there's something else that does the same, please share! :) P Sure! http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=2447534 it's called Patcher and it's available on XDA. Obviously it doesn't do the exact same thing but maybe you can get something out of it, and improve on Switch in a way that actually makes it better and 'needed'. (and about the being honest comment -> your project was actually released before the one I mentioned [my bad lol] but there was an old project that did the same but it was just too dangerous and complicated..)

Guest Zachary Derbyshire Posted September 28, 2013 Report Posted September 28, 2013 Hey, my OTA download gets to CWM and then says it failed because the file was unable to mount to my device, any ideas with what to do? Thanks :-)
Guest swa100 Posted September 29, 2013 Report Posted September 29, 2013 Hey Paul, When can we expect beta 3? Or firmware updates via ota. I'd like to have the latest GPe firmware, haha.
Guest joshua.justice Posted September 30, 2013 Report Posted September 30, 2013 SMS data does not sync between ROMS
Guest joshua.justice Posted September 30, 2013 Report Posted September 30, 2013 I'm in urgent need of help, I installed it on my phone and it worked just fine but when I tried switching back it didn't work. I turned it off and now it won't boot at all, in recovery or anything. Any help please!
Guest Amber Talamasca Posted September 30, 2013 Report Posted September 30, 2013 I'm in urgent need of help, I installed it on my phone and it worked just fine but when I tried switching back it didn't work. I turned it off and now it won't boot at all, in recovery or anything. Any help please! I had the same problem, i had to flash a rom with Odin before it worked properly again. have you tried this yet?
Guest joshua.justice Posted September 30, 2013 Report Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) I had the same problem, i had to flash a rom with Odin before it worked properly again. have you tried this yet? I'm downloading the stock tar but it's taking way too long! hours :( Edit: I flashed it with Odin and it still boot loops! What the heck! Edited September 30, 2013 by joshua.justice
Guest HugoQueiriga Posted October 1, 2013 Report Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) Well i'll be damn......d Its booting in GPe after i did the following in Philz_touch recovery mode: 1. go to mounts and storage 2. format cahce and format system 3. reboot recovery 4. install zip beta1 (samsung rom) 5. reboot recovery 6. install zip beta2 (gpe rom) 7. Boot phone You are now in samsung rom and use the switch! Also if you want to udate (OTA) then you have to reboot in recovery and flash the zipfile found in /ota/download and reboot Well that did the trick it now booted into GPE after 2 hours of flashing. Thanks Edit* I should mention I tried TWRP and then gone Phillz recovery however, after saying yes to not alow flashing of rstock ecovery, it has broken me booting into GPE. So now it just keeps booting into TW rom. Edit2* Just did the same steps above and all working again, GPE has some issues, no lock screen works, quick settings doesn't work, there are a few other issues, but the TW works fine so far. Looking forward to an updated version of this, it is really is a great idea. Edited October 1, 2013 by HugoQueiriga

All I did as some mentioned in this thread was to manually flash the update via recovery, don't use the app to flash it, just for download.
Guest Elcondor1 Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 Ok so sorry ! i have not thought -_- Thank you very much
Guest joshua.justice Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 Anyone have any ideas to fix my phone?
Guest ilirb Posted October 5, 2013 Report Posted October 5, 2013 So if i wanted to clean/format data and start from scratch with apps and stuff what is recommended way to keep Switch?
Guest Marco Fidanza Posted October 10, 2013 Report Posted October 10, 2013 Beta 3?? 2 months without update For htc there are a lots of versions . I have donated for this rom! Look other team like cyanogen etc
Guest maladaptiveone Posted October 12, 2013 Report Posted October 12, 2013 Still no updates or even news of forthcoming updates? This is seeming more and more like abandonware Its a real shame given the initial experience appears so good Oh well you live and learn Si
Guest toxicpaulution Posted October 22, 2013 Report Posted October 22, 2013 Kinda sad I poured money into this only for him to abandon this project.
Guest ilirb Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 I guess Paul is waiting to please us with 4.4 GPe when it's out :)
Guest Marco Fidanza Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 I guess Paul is waiting to please us with 4.4 GPe when it's out :) I do not think so..
Guest h00pyfr00d Posted November 15, 2013 Report Posted November 15, 2013 I have to say, this project seems to have been abandoned faster than HTC abandon last year's devices. It's a really big disappointment to buy a subscription with the expectation of software update regularity and then not receive any.
