Develop Bugs

What am I doing wrong? Loading baconbits.

So I perm rooted and it says S-Off in fastboot and I have superuser access I believe.
I got rom manager and downloaded clockwork through rm. I try to install rom from SD card, select the baconbits rom, it asks to backup or clear, I have tried both.
The phone boots to htc screen, then shows a black screen with a phone and a red symbol over it. I waited 20 minutes on that screen and nothing happened.
I was able to push vol up and power to get a console but I can't load anything there. It will reboot just fine after that but I have no changes and still cannot overclock.
Does this have something to do with the user keys or whatever?
Thanks in advance for reading this and any help that gets offered. I hate to have my first post on a forum being a "help me" post.

Go into Rom Manager and try to flash Clockwork recovery again. This has happened to a lot of people... Flash it a second time, and it should be good.

Did you download the "g2-recovery-test-keys.img" from the 3rd post quoted below?
Place that file in the C:/android/tools or whatever your cd line is, which should in the tools folder. Now go the 6th step. FYI the sixth step I tried from fastboot and recovery, none worked until I reinstalled the drivers my computer kept prompting me for and immedatly got the OKAY's from the 7th step.
Edit: The code "fastboot flash recovery g2-recovery-test-keys.img" should be copied pasted onto your cmd.

Noob walkthrough:
1.Setup Android SDK and install drivers/udev rules as needed
2. S-Off your g2 http://goo.gl/Sc134
4. Copy vision-baconbits-0.3.zip to your sdcard, rename it update.zip (you can do this via adb using: adb push vision-baconbits-0.3.zip /sdcard/update.zip)
5. Reboot to fastboot mode (adb reboot bootloader)
6. Flash the recovery http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/vision/g2-recovery-test-keys.img : fastboot flash recovery g2-recovery-test-keys.img (if you get 'waiting for device' your phone either isnt in fastboot mode, or you will need to fix your sdk drivers)
7. You should get two 'OKAY's once recovery flash is complete
8. Press the power button once; then the vol down button to highlight 'recovery'; then the power button again to select the 'recovery' option
9. The phone will reboot to recovery
10. Press volume up+power to show the recovery menu
11. Select the 'Apply:update.zip' option, using volume keys to navigate, and power button as [enter]
12. Once the zip applies, reboot
If you get signature verification errors on the zip, it means your fastboot flash of recovery failed to apply, redo it

Bingo, That worked. Glad it was that simple. I actually had to flash clockwork a third time to get it to go all the way.

[HOWTO]Unlock, Root, and install CWR Galaxy Nexus with Ubuntu Linux or Linux Mint 12

warnning: any damage you do to your phone following these directions is your responsibility. Assume you warranty is void if your are rooted.
I used the information koush provided here and info birdman provided here and adopted it in Ubutnu Linux 11.10. I hit some bumps along the way using my Linux box so I decided to write this for those of us not using OS's made by the darkside This should also work with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS just fine.
All this should work with Linux Mint 12 also.
1- Set up Android SDK, adb, and fastboot in Ubuntu Linux using the links in my signature. I can't stress how useful and easy it is to set adb and fastboot in your "path" so you can easily use it from any prompt. The links explain it. Take your time with that and it will payoff for all your devices. Here is the guide I wrote http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19446284&postcount=62
STOP NOW! EVERYTHING INCLUDING YOUR PERSONAL FILES, PICTURES, AND VIDEOS WILL BE ERASED WHEN YOU UNLOCK/ROOT THIS DEVICE. It does not have a physical SD card. Very annoying. Use Dropbox or Google+ to backup everything.
2- on your phone, go to settings/Developer Options and check the box for USB Debugging
3-connect your phone, fire up a terminal, and type:
Code:
adb devices
You should get the serial number of your device appear. If not, unplug, reboot phone, re-attach the phone to your computer and try again. If you still do not get your device's serial number, go back to step 1 and make sure everything is setup correctly.
4- Now download Clockwork Recovery from here
http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-toro.img
(make sure it's the CDMA one (toro). The GSM one is called maguro and steps should be the same)
and su.zip from here
http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/su.zip
5-Turn the phone off, hold both Volume up and Volume Down and press the power button. You should come to a screen that has a big arrow and some writings at the bottom (fastboot). Last line should say Locked state.
6- Connect your phone to your computer, fire up a terminal and type:
Code:
fastboot devices
your phone and its serial number should appear just as it did using adb above. adb will not work here of course. If you don't see your device, go to step one. I guess you can download the fastboot for linux and cd to that directory and do it but I like to have it setup on my computer.
STOP NOW! EVERYTHING INCLUDING YOUR PERSONAL FILES, PICTURES, AND VIDEOS WILL BE ERASED WHEN YOU UNLOCK/ROOT THIS DEVICE. It does not have a physical SD card. Very annoying. Use Dropbox or Google+ to backup everything.
7- Now for the stuff that voids your warranty: Type
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
and enter. Look at your phone now, use the Volume up to choose YES and press the power button to accept. It should say that you are unlocked and fastboot is in good state.
9-use the volume up to change the value appearing in the arrow to recovery and press the power button to accept. You are taken to laying down android with a red triangle. This is the stock recovery. Now carefully press the volume up, volume down, and the power button to get to a menu. Choose wipe data and factory reset. 2 things: I had a hard time getting to the menu. Do it a few times and try pressing the power button JUST a fraction of a second earlier than the 2 volume buttons. Also wiping and resetting takes a few minutes, be patient.
10-you are now unlocked. Turn the phone off ( I pulled battery), go to fastboot screen by holding volume up, down and power button. Connect your phone to your computer and make sure it is recognized by typing:
Code:
fastboot devices
If it is, change directory to where you downloaded clockwork recovery. If you didn't change it, it should be the Download directory (remember it's case sensitive):
Code:
cd Downloads
11- Time to re-write your recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-toro.img
Please make sure you use common sense here when it comes to file names. If the file you downloaded has a different name or version, change it in the code above. I guess you can put the fastboot file in that location also to be used if you do not have it setup as in step 1. I'm not positive how and if that would work. Downloading and installing the wrong file is a mistake that may cause harm to your phone.
12- Use the vol up/down to point the big arrow toward recovery, push the power button to get to Cloclwork Recovery. Once you confirm you have CWR, reboot the phone normally and let Android OS create all the folders it needs. Once at start up screen, pull the battery to turn phone off, and then get to bootloader by holding vol up/down and power button in. Use the vol up/down to point the big arrow on sceen toward recovery. While in recovery, make sure your terminal prompt still shows the Downloads directory (or where the su and recovery files were downloaded to). Now type: (note the space between zip and /data)
Code:
adb push su.zip /data/media
this will put the su.zip file in the root of your virtual sd card.
You are still in recovery, reboot into recovery to refresh the file list by typing this
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Now go ahead and install su.zip through clockwork recovery's menus. Pretty self explanatory (choose zip from sd card). The su.zip should be now in the root of your virtual sd card.
That's all. You are now unlocked and rooted. Reboot. Make sure you install the paid versions of rom manager, titanium backup, and update superuser app.
13- Download Rom Manager and flash the recovery again (top choice). This will erase the install-recovery.sh file and keeps your CWR at each boot. You do not have to do step 14 if you do this. I will leave step 14 here just in case someone needs it.
14-When you are back in the fastboot screen. DO NOT reboot the phone here. There maybe a file that re-writes the recovery to stock if the phone is rebooted. Your phone may or may not have this file. of the two GN I have, one did and one did not at this step(may have been erased). The file is reovery.sh and is located in /system/etc/ . You need to either rename it or delete it.
While in fastboot and after you flashed CWR, use the Volume up and Down to change the arrow's value to recovery and press the power button. You should now see the familiar Clockwork recovery. In recovery, you can use adb (you can't in fastboot of course). You need to rename that file, use these steps in terminal: (If you see no file/folder found message, you know you do not have this file)
Code:
adb shell
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /system
Code:
mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.bak
step 1 fires up adb, step 2 allows you to change permissions and read and write, and step 3 renames it. You can now unplug the phone.
Again, you can also get rid of this file by flashing the clcokwork recovery in Rom Manager or using the paid app root explorer to rename the file.

thank you so much this is exactly what i was looking for. cant believe im the only one to comment on this. it is very detailed even some one new to Ubuntu could figure this out.

I've been using it too for a while but never posted so THANK YOU! Very easy to follow. Great work.

you're welcome. I find it ironic that a Linux based OS such as Android has so many HOWTOs for Windows but not enough for Linux. #powerofmonoply

I find I need to run fastboot commands with sudo or su into root before it will work. Same for you, or misconfig on my side?

I'm not sure. How did you setup your adb and fastboot? I did not have to sudo for fastboot commands. What OS are you running?

Hey loveubuntu, I have a question.
I'm at Step 12, and I'm in recovery and when I run adb push su.zip /data/media, it isn't finding any devices. When I run adb devices, the device isn't listed.
Any advice?

were you able to see the device in the previous steps 3, 6 and 10 and now you don't?
Things that come to mind is:
1- Do you have the usb debugging checked?
2- unplug and replug the device and see if it works.
3- don't forget the samsung recovery file install-recovery.sh. If the phone is rebooted you may have re-written your recovery and have to start over. Then reboot the phone and go to rom manager and reflash the recovery (first option). This will take care of the install-recovery.sh file.

3, 6, & 9...check.
I rebooted my phone by pulling the battery and I still can't get adb to see the device. The install-recovery.sh? I don't remember reading anything about that.
In step 12 it says to let the phone reboot into the Android OS, but it's now back at factory reset, as that's what we did earlier in the instructions. As soon as it boots into the Android OS, adb lists the device.
At that point, since I'm in the AOS, I downloaded Astro File Manager and tried to put su.zip in the /cache folder, I think that's the folder that the clockwork recovery mod folder sees, and I don't have permission. I was hoping I could cheat and just drag & drop instead of pushing it. BUT...I did try the command adb push su.zip /media/play and I get permission denied. I'm guessing I don't have permission, even as sudo, to move the file to /data/media.

Okay I finally got it!
I didn't wait long enough for the Android OS to boot up. I finally was able to move the .zip file, but I couldn't find where /data/media was. So I let the OS boot up, removed the battery, went back into recovery, moved the zip file, and it was finally listed.

This step is confusing. While in recovery should be replaced by "Hit Power button to enter ClockworkMod Recovery"
Otherwise people may mis-interpret by "Stay in fastboot and position the big arrow on top to Recovery Mode"
In my case (GNex GSM stock JB 4.11):
adb push su.zip /data/media
or
adb push su.zip /sdcard
did copy su.zip successfully but could not be listed by ClockworkMod Recovery menu when selecting "choose zip from sd card". I had to do this:
Code:
adb push su.zip /sdcard/Alarms
And, within the ClockWorkMod Recevery menu, select "choose zip from sd card"
Land on another screen where I could navigate to Alarms folder and see the su.zip there.
Now go ahead and install su.zip through clockwork recovery's menus. Pretty self explanatory (choose zip from sd card). The su.zip should be now in the root of your virtual sd card.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sorry for being picky but personally, it is NOT self explanatory for me. I was expecting a menu item in CWM Recovery menu to say "Install su.zip". Actually you must navigate in the file system and select the su.zip yourself. Ok, may be that seems obvious now that I know what to do. But on the moment, I was worried I screwed up something because I needed to do some extra manipulations while you said that should be "self explanatory".
4- Now download Clockwork Recovery from here

That's all. You are now unlocked and rooted. Reboot. Make sure you install the paid versions of rom manager, titanium backup, and update superuser app.

Therefore what is the need of doing #13 and 14?
Furthermore, Step 13 starts by
13- Download Rom Manager and flash the recovery again (top choice)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What is that top choice? Do you mean restart from the top at step #1? If you need to reflash again CWN, would it be simpler to restart from Step 10 instead of going back to the top?
And BTW, what is the reason to reflash the CWM Recovery again just after you have successfully flashed it at Step 12? Could that be #13 and #14 are some steps of an older guide which no longer apply now but you forgot to remove?
Sorry for the silly question but I am rather lost. After all that hardwork, when I attempt to Update SuperUser, it failed on the line "Gaining root access ..." What is the reason and how to fix that? FOUND ANSWER: the su.zip given in the post is Superuser 3.07 which is outdated, It is probably buggy. Replaced it by SuperSU 0.94 and it works perfect: http://download.chainfire.eu/204/SuperSU/
Thanks

worked like a charm.. if you have problem using fastboot, just cd to the folder with fastboot and run it like this:
Code:
sudo ./fastboot "command"
it will require your password and then work normally, seems like it need super user permissions.
Also for new user: to avoid writing a command or a folder name manually just push the TAB button, it will autocomplete the word if it's unique in that folder

[Q] Incredible won't boot into Clockwork

Alright, I have been searching around for my problem and I have found no such luck. I am running Evervolv ICS ROM Preview 8 and I noticed they released Preview 9. So I decided to upgrade of course but I came across a snag. My phone just boot's into the stock recovery and not into Clockwork. I have found a similar problem in another forum but I am unable to post the link do the rules of this forum.
The problem being that I cannot turn off FASTBOOT, I have no selection to do so in my phones settings.
Any help at all would be wonderful.

Are you s-off? If so flash cwm recovery thru hboot as a PB31IMG.zip http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/CWM_5.0.2.0/PB31IMG.zip
If you can boot into the stock recovery then fastboot is not the issue. If fast boot is enabled holding vol down and power just boots the phone, you will not enter any recovery. The only way to enter recovery with fastboot enabled is to pull the battery truly powering off the phone, fastboot does not power of but hibernates for faster boot.

Well if you are getting the stock recovery then i assume cwm recovery is not installed. Flashing the file above will install it.
To do so download the file and place it on your sdcard in no folders.
Power off the phone and pull the battery, then reinsert.
Hold vol down and power buttond till a white screen pops up (hboot). Wait a couple secs and hboot will find the file, parse it, and then prompt to press vol up to update. When its donr it will prompt to press vol up to reboot or vol down not to. Press vol down and then scroll to and select recovery. You should now be where you want to be.

I'm sorry I was not clear before, forgive me. Yes Clockwork is installed, I have reflashed it with the current version and older versions to attempt to fix the problem. I tried another recovery as well (One that I cannot recall at the moment) and I still boot into the stock recovery. My main problem is that I cannot boot into Clockwork. I'm sorry again for not being specific before.

Once that is setup and working download this zip file ( http://dinc.does-it.net/Guide_Root_New_Hboot/flash_mtd_recovery.zip ), unzip it, and place the 2 files on your sdcard in no folders.
Make sure usb debuging is checked on in menu - settings - applications - development
Power off the phone pull the battery and reinsert. Plug the phone in to the pc and hold vol down and power till hboot comes up. Select fastboot, it should say in red near the top fastboot usb. Then type the folowing in a cmd prompt:
fastboot erase recovery
Once complete reboot the phone.
Set the phone to charge only.
Open a command prompt on your PC and navigate to the same folder as your fastboot.exe file, (example type: cd C:\ADB ).
Type the following into the command prompt pressing the enter key at the end of each line:
adb shell

cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
chmod 755 /data/flash_image

Sounds like the recovery partition may be corrupt, nothing will write to it. Well if i were you i would do an ruu and see if that fixes it. Not much else you can do i dont think. Hopefully the ruu will fix it and allow you to flash cwm.

[Q] Power button respond prob and Hboot prob

My phones stucked on Fastboot and it doesnt let me to go(select) recovery or anything.It only read PD99IMG.zip files and hardware keys only work to select yes or no(update or not).I was on CWM recovey and i flashed CWM img.But still phones doesnt let me to get into recovery! Still can reads PD99IMG.zip and only doing that. What should i do?I also tried RUU.exe.But it tell me to connect phone via usb even it still connected.
TIA
P.S.
Flashed CWM recovery image through Android Flasher and able to get into recovery! So i restored previous backed up CM.Everything perfect except these things.Now POWER BUTTON DOESNT RESPOND CORRECTLY and STILL CAN'T GET IN TO RECOVERY BY HOLDING VOLUME DOWN+POWER BUTTON. But ROM Manager CAN get in to recovery! What is now?
1st power button didn't work.Then i gave a factory reset. Nothing changed.After few hours,power button begun to respond, but not correctly. I mean,when i press on power button,screen doesn't off. But when i long press on power button and after few seconds,phone respond(show the power button long press menu).Also i can select Power off,reboot etc..This seems a software problem.What shold i do?
Ah.Another thing,I think i have Stock Hboot.Should i flash CM Hboot because i have a CM rom?
TIA

"I'm S-OFF, I can't boot recovery and my phone doesn't
boot"
For one reason or another, your recovery image is corrupted
and when you try to boot into recovery, all you get is the
HTC screen and your phone doesn't boot. It is relatively
simple to fix, and there is more than one way to go about
doing this. All you need to do, is to flash a new recovery
image.
Possible causes
- I have no idea, however if somebody has an explanation
then feel free to PM me.
Repairing recovery, booting phone:
NOTE: If you have a PVT4 Device, go to "Flashing custom
recovery". If you are unsure, check just to be safe.
#METHOD 1#
Method One uses Android Flasher to flash the recovery
image.
[STEP1] - Battery pull. Hold the BACK button and the
POWER button to boot into FASTBOOT mode.
[STEP2] - Download Android Flasher
[STEP3] - Download the recovery image . Put it in a place you
can remember.
[STEP4] - Run android flasher, tick "Recovery", and press
"Begin"
[STEP5] - Browse to where you downloaded the recovery
image, select it, and press "open"
[STEP6] - repeat [1] from [STEP4] onwards
#METHOD 2#
Method two uses cmd and requires Android SDK to be set
up.
[STEP1] - Battery pull. Hold the BACK button and the
POWER button to boot into FASTBOOT mode.
[STEP2] - Download the recovery image . Rename it to
"recovery.img" for simplicity, and place it in the following
directory:
Code:
C:\
[STEP3] - then in cmd type the following commands
Code:
cd c:\android-sdk\tools
fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img
fastboot oem gencheckpt (this command boots you into recovery, ignore the feedback from
[STEP4] - repeat [1] from [STEP4] onwards"
Im trying with AndroidFlasher .Problem is link to recovery.img is not working.Can you tell me the full name of recovery i should google and download?
TIA

download ClockWorkMod recovery for bravo then you can flash any custom rom... 4ext is highly recommended but you should download it via app (download from here)
Is it really necessary to open another thread about your problem?

There are many Recoveris out there like the famous ClockworkMod Recovery or TeamWin's Recovery Project. Because in their DEV-Threads there are so many people asking how to flash it, I decided to make a flash instruction.​
INFO ABOUT RECOVERIES
Every phone comes with a Stock Recovery. If you make a factory reset, or something very internal is getting updated or changed, the Recovery does its Job. If you root your phone, you will need to have a Custom Recovery installed, which with you can flash .zip files (ROMs, GApps, Scripts, etc.), make a backup, restore to a ROM, make a factory reset, etc.​
RECOVERY INSTALLATION
METHOD 1, VIA PC
Code:
[COLOR="Red"]You need to be [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1878031"]Bootloader unlocked[/URL] to work with this mehtod![/COLOR]
Download a working Recovery image to your PC, for example this one !
Download the Android SDK Tools from here, extract them to
Code:
C:\Development
and move everything into this folder so that the folders called "eclipse", "sdk" and the file called "SDK Manager.exe" are found in
Code:
C:\Development
and not in the automatically created subfolder called "
adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130514" (name may vary because of 32Bit (x86) respectively 64Bit (x64) system architecture, newer releases or different operating systems, i.e. Ubuntu)!
Then follow this guide, to set up ADB and Fastboot drivers on your PC. Skip the steps 2 and 3 as you already did them before!
If you don''t understand this Tutorial, google for one in your language!
After you installed the ADB and Fastboot drivers on your PC, copy the recovery.img file from the "Downloads" folder and paste it in the ~/Development/sdk/platform-tools, and type. In this folder hit the "Shift" key on the key board and simultaneously the right mouse key. Then select "Open command prompt here" - may vary, translated into english by me.
Now, you have to connect your phone in fastboot mode. In order to do this, you need to power off your phone, hold down volume down+power button simultaneously. In the bootloader mode - it must say
Code:
*UNLOCKED*
at the very top - select "Fastboot", and connect your phone with the USB Cable to your PC. Then it should say "Fastboot USB" on your phone's screen.
Type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
! Wait a few seconds, until in the command prompt it says "finished total time x.x.x.x.". Then, disconnect your phone and close the cmd window. In the Fastboot mode on your phone, select "Reboot Bootloader". Wait for it to reboot! Wait for HBOOT to finish its job. Then select "Recovery" and it should take you right into the recovery mode!
METHOD 2, VIA YOUR PHONE
Code:
[COLOR="Red"]You need to be [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1878031"]rooted and Bootloader unlocked[/URL] to work with this mehtod![/COLOR]
2.1 Download a working Recovery image on your device, for example this one and place it in the root of your SDCard [/sdcard] and NOT in a (sub-)folder!
In order to that - without using a PC -you need to download a File Manager from Google's Play Store, navigate to the folder "Download", cut the recovery.img out and place it in "/storage/sdcard0" - the root of your SDCard!
2.2 Make sure you have the Terminal Emulator installed on your device!
2.3 Open the Terminal Emulator on your device and type:
Code:
su
and hit enter! In the SuperUser-Pop-Up-Window select "accept/allow"!
2.4 Again: Make sure that the recovery.img is in the root of your SDCard [/sdcard] and NOT in a folder!
Then, type:
Code:
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
and hit enter!
2.5 You might get a stream of almost identical looking code after hitting the enter key, this is normal, as long as you got no error messages in the code and you got a "#" at the end!
Then you can type in this:
Code:
reboot recovery
and hit enter! This will take you to your new recovery's home screen.
HOW TO BOOT INTO A RECOVERY
Power your phone off. Hold down the volume down and the power button simultaneously. Wait a few seconds, until you get to a screen with three skating Androids at the bottom. Without doing anything HBOOT will start to search for a PG76IMG.xxx file (another method to install a recovery) on your phone but it shouldn't find anything. So if you see the main screen again, navigate - with the volume buttons - to "Recovery" and confirm your decision with pressing the power button. Now you'll see the HTC Logo and after a few seconds, you'll see the home screen of your Recovery.​
NANDROID BACKUP
Boot into Recovery (Bootloader,Recovery). select "backup and restore" (navigate with the volume buttons), enter with the power button and select "backup",you're now doing a "Nandroid Backup"!
After it finished, take out your Phone's SD Card, and plug it in to your computer with an micro SD Adapter.
If you do not have such an Adapter, select "reboot system now" in Recovery's Main Menu, and connect your phone via USB cable. Pull the just created Backup from the folder "~/clockworkmod/backup" - found on your phone's SDCard - into any location on your PC!/INDENT]
NOW YOU CAN...
...feel free to ask me if you did not understand anything
...flash a Custom ROM on your phone via "install zip from sdcard" > "choose zip from sdcard"
...do a factory reset/full wipe via "factory reset/full wipe"
...only wipe the cache via "wipe cache partition"
...wipe Battery Stats and the dalvik cache via "advanced" > "wipe dalvik cache"/"wipe battery stats"​
FOOTNOTE
This instruction is extracted from my Root Tutorial!​​

You can do this in terminal emulator as well. Just do the same thing but use flash_image recovery recovery.img that should work and I use that method

After you installed ADB and Fastboot drivers on your PC, you have to connect your phone in fastboot mode (Bootloader > Fastboot) via USB Cable to your PC. Then it should say "Fastboot USB" on your phone's screen. Open a command prompt on Windows - click the Windows button and "R" at the same time on your keyboard, in the search field type "cmd"! After, type - with phone connected- :
Code:
cd C:\path to recovery\

Isn't this that bug with the 2012 model of the wfs? There's a fix somewhere I think.

Nice job :good:

Goodbye!
Hey Guys,
as you may have noticed I didn't submit a new CyanogenMod 10.1 build for two months now as I wasn't able to get another successfully finished build.
Then I removed everything and wanted to set up a whole new build environment on my Laptop. And although I had vacations back then (today's the last day of the summer vacations here in Germany) I didn't have enough time. Then I was on holidays with a friend of mine for a week (26th August - 2nd September) and I didn't have WLAN nor LAN - so no internet. From the 8th September - 21st September I'm in Italy for a 2-week-student-scholarship, so I'll again have no time.
As I'm having a Nexus 4 since January, and I only used my HTC Wildfire S for testing what I've built, I do not feel the motivation to build or develop anything for it anymore.
Taking everything into consideration I came to the decision to not maintain my threads anymore!
It were interesting - 2 - years - I think - here on the XDA developer forum with many instructive moments, arguments and much more!
But I now feel to say "Goodbye!" to my really active time here on XDA and "Hello!" to the time in which I'll enjoy CM's or PA's and also Google's work, and of course the work from Kernel developers, for my Nexus 4.
Goodbye, Guys!
P.S.: I'll close this thread very soon!
