How would I install CyanogenMOD for the TP2 Android builds

I have been using Android on my TP2 quite well. I would like to get into customization or it though and would like to figure out how to install CyanogenMOD or some other form that allows me to direct edit the android system from within the system.
This would also help the Devs I think.

Now thats what im talkn about, pushing the limits of Android. lol im wondering the same myself. For the meanwhile u can try out either Home ++, PandaHome, Helix Launcher, or Zeam. ive tried all of those out with this AOSP build. I would recommend Zeam first then Home++ second. The Zeam UI is very customizable and i havent had a force close yet. so when i boot up android, i have the option of what UI i want to use The Standard AOSP Home, Home ++, or Zeam. also theres no slowdown when running these UI. try it out, u might like it. I got the Metamorph program but when i try to run it , it says im missing busybox. i dunno, i looked at processes and busybox is in here but not active or not being recognized. who knows..lol
im on the same note as u though, customization.

I've been trying this, unsuccessfully so far, since I got my TP2 about a month ago. It's not really documented anywhere so it's all trial and error and I haven't really found the time to work on it as much as I would like to. I was having some success mounting the data.img, pulling and pushing parts via ADB and editing the squash file. But now adb won't recognize my phone and I'm too lazy to fish out why. meh.

I noticed that Busybox was also in the file structure, just not activated. Which also means that the Android builds we have all been playing with are rooted.
I do agree with you though, Home++ or Zeam are the home screens of choice, At least until SPB MS 5 comes out. Did I see somewhere that one of the devs here on XDA made an android apk store for only XDA releases?

wow..i hope someone chimes in with that link..thatll be crazy ..thats cool as hell...only surf for xda apps for android wit ease. ive been using Zeam..it loads up fast and hardly any hiccups or FC's. Plus u can load any widget wit no problem. For some reason on Home ++ , certain large widgets will freeze up and wont let u put them in the trash bin at the bottom..lol and now i came across the same clock widget used in the sense that shows time and weather. so with zeam and that, ud think i had the sense version although im repping AOSP at the moment. I really wanna learn or find out how to either activate the busybox in this build or find a new, simple download. i researched some, but way too many steps and risky since this not an official rom. I b worried sometimes that messing around with the UI or hidden settings in android might mess up things on the next boot up..lmao but i already got MetaMorph, its juss waiting to be used once it recognizes busybox.

seems like a new sqsh file would have to be made by a developer mimicking cyanogen in order to "install" it

it would be like a custom sqsh file, kinda like a custom rom in a sense..lol that would be cool...there would have to be enuff interest in it plus be stable enuff to merge with this build. i know there has to be some kind of work around for the moment. there usually always is. ;-) i dont like the plain look of the Aosp build but its fast. so i try to find new ui or mods. which ive found out there is a ton of stuff u can do to this build thru apps juss like windows...my setup on this Aosp looks nuthn like it does when u first install it. it looks more like the Sense version. now i have it in fullscreen and that taskbar up top no longer there for that much more screen real estate..lol Zeam(ui app at the marketplace) has been wrkin pretty well for me.

Neopeek Cyanogen
Neopeek got Cyanogen working with ext2 partition

alternative
or you can use staysafe app in android to transform sqsh to ext2. it's like root, but without the ability to reboot.
So no customisations yet.

this.

Well, I have the SuperE CyanogenMod from Neopeek installed. It runs a little choppy, But FAST!! I was never able to get DATA working though. So I had to put her down until they figure out why.
I even tried a couple different zimage/modules packages for the rhodium. All but one resulted in the boot animation endlessly restarting.
I guess I still have to wait a bit.

[Q] Launcher Pro and Syndicate 1.1.0

I am relatively new at this, so I apologize if I'm missing any necessary information...
When I rooted my phone the first time, the most updated version of Syndicate Frozen was 1.0.2 (Malanga)/Twilight Zone 1.0.4. I never had an issue with it, and for the most part it ran with no problems. I ran the fully loaded which didn't include Launcher Pro with it, but I had previously purchased it when I was running stock.
A couple of days later, I noticed that an update was available for Syndicate Frozen 1.1.0 (Takiya). So I went ahead and ODINed my phone from EB13 to EB05 and flashed to the updated version (fully loaded). When I went to activate my launcher pro back on my phone, whenever I tried to add a LP Widget, it would tell me it would need to force close. I was never able to add the widgets that I use all the time. I ended up flashing back to EB13 and version 1.0.2 and since haven't had a problem.
I'd really like to update to the most recent version, but also would like my launcher pro to work... Is this a known issue or am I doing something completely wrong and just don't know it...

The only LPP widget that doesn't work at the moment is the bookmark widget. You can work around this by putting the stock EC05 browser in /system/app, but keep in mind you'll get the checkerboarding and window limit back.
If it's not the bookmark widget giving you trouble, something else that isn't ROM-related is the issue. Out of curiosity, why did you get Fully Loaded if you don't use TouchWiz?

Come to think of it, I think the first widget I tried putting back on using LP was the bookmrk widget...
And I actually didn't have fully loaded at first, but didn't realize the standard came with launcher pro, and when I restored my backup, my phone went into super freak mode because my LP conflicted with the preloaded LP. It was force close mania. So I went to fully loaded that didn't have LP loaded on it.
I think I'll try updating it first thing in the morning, and I'll live without the bookmark widget if need be. And I think I'll try out TW as well... I'll post how everything works!

Don't waste your time. Only rjmjr69 uses TouchWiz.

Everything is working great! At first my restore put the bookmark widget back on and caused a few issues, but I quickly removed it and haven't had any problems since!
Thanks for your help!

[Q] Galaxy Nexus Messaging App

I am using the Galaxy Nexus on ICS and like my phones before i like to be able to customize the screen using Launcher Pro and Go Launcher EX, however i have found that after a while of using these apps they seem to stop the messaging app from launching and i just get a black screen. Sometimes this clears after pressing the messaging link about 15-20 times.
If i uninstall these apps then i never have an issue with it. I have emailed both developers and had no reply.
Anyone else experienced this?

Those launchers are not updated so you shouldn't use them until they are.

Yes, I get exactly the same problem with the exact same apps!

PLEASE read the stickies in the forum before you post it clearly states that questions belong in the Q&A Forum and not in General..
As for your question install the newset ADWLauncher EX v1.3.3.55 its now fully compatable with ICS and makes everything soo much more useable than the stock launcher.
Mark.

Go Launcher works fine for me.

Personally ive never liked adw which is why i use launcher pro but i might give the new version a try. I cant wait til the manufacturers rollout ics cos theres a few apps i use that dont work properly yet.
As for the issue personally i have found that on launcher pro and go launcher that this black screen only happens when i exit the messaging app using the back key, if i exit using the home button it never happens.
Hope this helps cnxop.

TSF Shell Force Closes

Is anyone else using TSF Shell launcher? If so, have you encountered random and repeated force closes? How did you fix it? I emailed TSF Shell support but haven't gotten a response yet. I do know that it can take some time to fix an issue, but I was inquiring about any potential workarounds. Ive received this error regardless of settings in preferences.

*******EDIT*******
All of concerns and issues have been addressed and corrected. The developers even sent me a test version of a newer build which had a very small fraction of the issues I previously mentioned. I have really gotten back into loving this launcher again. Currently running Skynote 9.3 and ultimate icon theme. Before I was completely stock. I wanted to update this thread so people know that the devs do listen. I would have done it sooner but I was plagued with package file is invalid errors. I only got them on pre installed apps I tried to update. They seem to be gone now also.

I dunno why people pay that exorbitant amount for tsf... Years ago it was fresh and different but these days any 3rd party launcher can do the same things. I guess to each his own though, good luck with your issue.
Did you try clearing caches?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

If clearing the caches dont work, you may want to re-install the launcher.

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried to clear the cache, but there was nothing to clear except data. So I cleared data, uninstalled then reinstalled, with and without rebooting my phone and still had issues. I also figured out something else that I was doing unknowingly at the time. Mind you I said unknowingly, but I had other launchers installed on my phone prior to this one and the boxes for keep in memory were checked. Once I unchecked them and uninstalled others, I haven't had an issue. I've been using TSF Shell for about 8 hours error free now so I think that was what my problem was caused by. I didn't know that keeping those boxes checked, and having multiple home launcher apps would/could cause issues. Before you tell me I'm stupid or should have known that, when I had my HTC Inspire 4G I had the following installed on it.
1) HTC Sense obviously
2) GO Launcher EX
3) LauncherPro with Plus Unlocker
After rooting it I installed these two below, plus the three above and didn't have any issues whatsoever as far as launchers crashing...well I take that back. LauncherPro did give me some issues but I didn't really care because I had moved onto better.
4) Apex Launcher with Pro Unlocker
5) Nova Launcher with Prime Unlocker
Now with my Stock Note II 4.1.2 I have Touchwiz, Nova & Nova Prime, TSF Shell, Next Launcher 3D Lite with full key (app of the day promotion) and I reinstalled GO Launcher EX just because I wanted to see what had changed since the last time I used it. At one point on my Note II there were at least 10 launchers installed on it all running smoothly believe it or not.

Yes I have a lot of free time on my hands for the most part, and yes I like to have a lot of stuff on my phone just to see how much it can handle. Hopefully this can help someone else fix this issue/something similar, or avoid it altogether. I'm going to contact TSF Shell support tomorrow with this information to see if it can help them out in any way. I want a solid 24 hour error free time frame to pass before I reach out to them though.
*Update 7.4.13*
The force closes are back again whether I've tried using the 12 available screens or a smaller amount. I can't even arrange/rearrange my widgets without serious delay followed by force closes. I'm emailing the developer(s) about this again and I'm including the link to this thread in my email to them. I'll keep this updated as often as I can regarding this.

[Q] asking me to upgrade from "http://m.lo-mall.com/amazon/us/"

I was surfing on my t-mobile Note 2 smartphone and got message asking me to upgrade from "http://m.lo-mall.com/amazon/us/" which sounds VERY suspicious. I went to settings and clear cache, history, cookies, form data, ...etc. After a few hours I still receive this message again from this website.
That website doesn't sound legit...why does it keep coming back? My phone is rooted (android 4.1.2) with stock rom with go launcher, and I freeze all samsung & t-mobile "updater" via titanium backup pro.
What is going on? Why/how does "http://m.lo-mall.com/amazon/us/" keeps popping up?

Go Launcher...
I assume its because of Go Launcher. I've been having the same problem today. I think Go Launcher is changing the start up for chrome to start at a specific webpage which is a phishing website. Try start chrome from stock launcher. I bet it would work fine.

It's even worse:
I also use GO Launcher and replaced the browser shortcut from stock browser to firefox.
And since yesterday it opens the stock browser with this m.lo-mall.com phishing page instead of firefox.

Arrgh! This happened to me too on my Galaxy Note 3. I did a google search for:
"m.lo-mall.com android"
And the results took me here.
I'm so glad that I wasn't the only one who got this. I hate Go Launcher, that is so shady. I thought about paying for this app but no longer. I just left them a 1 star review and warned other users about this malware.
I'm using Nove Launcher now.
Shame on Go Launcher!

Same here
Yup, I should be doing the same thing. I'm can accept ads but phishing? That’s not acceptable. Doing that to their customers... That's the worst thing they could do.

I have the same issue and it sucks hopefully someone will figure out how to fix this.

I have same problem too. I use S5 and I got this same upgrade page in my chrome asking me to update my phone.
I also use Go launcher. I just posted very angry review with 1 star on their play google app download.
Go Launcher was my favorite launcher. now I am very sad and angry.
why do they do this? is this Go developer on this site?

lo-mall phishing "feature" removed per go launcher facebook
according to their facebook page, it has been removed, https://www.facebook.com/golauncher?fref=nf
I'm glad of the removal, but it also make me question the company's judgement.. Personally I may still use it temporary, but now more open towards other launcher such as nova, ...etc.

Not fixed yet...
I just opened Chrome and CM Browser on my HTC One (M8), and it still sends me to the "System Upgrade" page. It's really very frustrating to see it every time I open up the browsers. Should I uninstall GO launcher from my phone and just use the regular HTC launcher? Any suggestions guys?
I've been having these problems for about a month (and about two weeks after I installed GO launcher).

per their facebook, it's fixed. Maybe wait a couple more days? Another good choice of popular launcher is nova launcher, or u can use your stock launcher. FYI, I have not seen the lo-mall phishing from go launcher the last couple of days. Hope that mean it's fixed...only time will tell.

here is a fix
