[Q] help with cleangb and marcusant speed up

so I am not sure where I went wrong and I have been reading some threads and trying what people are saying but I think I am making it worse.
I have
Clean Gb build 16
then I added in Marcusant speed tweaks
the first issue was that instead of showing up as Clean GB in the about phone it shows as Mar... Revival Rom
I was told I could just go in and change the name here so i tried. didnt work out as hoped I think I may have changed the wrong file because it still says the revivial one.
I wanted to update to the newest Clean GB so I said screw it and went to Clock work mod and Wanted to do a full restore.( i backed up just before installing the speed tweaks)
I got an error and it said md5 mismatch
So I figured I would just reinstall Clean Gb as the zip was still on my phone and I had also had done a titanium back up would install clean gb and use that
I tried to install it and got an error and it went to a wierd screen with a lil android guy and an exclamation mark.
Id like to get on Clan Gb latest build and not have to spend 10 hours re -setting up all my contacts and main page and stuff if I can
Any ideas here.
I guess my next step is to do the factory reset from clock work and try to install again??
O I do not have access to odin at this time
Thanks!

First there are 2 entries in build.prop that have Marcusant revival that need to be changed. You would edit the one in the zip and then reflash. You can get the exact lettering from CleanGB's build prop. The other issue sounds like you sd card is going bad or corrupted. You can back it up, reformat it and restore and try again.

I did it on my PC. It is so much easier to cut and paste across build.prop files.

Anything should work. I just checked and it defaults to Wordpad on my Windows 7 laptop.

These are the lines you need to find and edit:
ro.build.display.id=
ro.rommanager.developerid=
ro.modversion=
The 1st and 3rd are the ROM and the middle one is the email address ROM Manager uses for the developer.

My tweaks wouldn't cause an md5 mismatch of a backup or CWM to not work. Seems as if you need to re Odin Cwm. The only thing my tweak might do is break ROM manager . Just go manual.

this was a good read. i was attempting to add marcusant speedups to cleangb as well. *taking notes*

Sorry If it sounded like I implied that I dont believe your speed tweaks did that. just found that issue when trying to use the back up.
Thanks for the info guys im stuck on this for now until I can buy a pc. I had been doing everything without pc. I have never odin-ed or anything so this will be all new

Just reflash your ROM to remove the fixes.

Framework res theme.. all new icons

UNTESTED ONLY TRY IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING UNTIL SOMEONE CONFIRMS WORKING. You should know how to recover phone.. all I did is switched png files for you..I left all xml files untouched... In thanks for the system dump.. Made a theme for you guys to try out... Use at your own risk. I am not responsible for what you do to your phone or sdcard. Must have root. Use root explorer or super manager to replace file. Make backup of original first... You should sign file and set correct permissions.. Again do not try,unless you know what you are doing or know how to recover phone

Tried that already actually. Just keeps bootlooping.
Tried a factory reset just now too. Same thing. Crap.

What about lg mobile support factory reset... When you replace files you should use signapktik to,sign apk and also before replacing... check old file for permissions and then set new files with same permissions. Only thing changed in res.apk is around 40 png files. Left the core alone. Usually have to wipe cache also. Supermanager apk in market has wipe cache option

Trying that app but the lgp930 is not listed in the recoverable section.

I don't know then bro... That's why I put untested... To scare people away that haven't done these things a lot since you guys don't have cwm mod yet.... ive edited and made tons of frameworks....so I kinda know what to do and not to do. Whenever messing with any jar folder files.. Everything needs to be put perfect and even then it can cause problems... You shouldn't have problems swapping them out at at&t since your factory reset should have took away root

when you use LG software updater, it said "you already have latest software, so you dont need to update" and said "this model is not for S/W update"
i used to have sony x10, i can reflash the phone EVEN i using the current/latest software!

[TWEAK/HACK][ICS][GB] Data Speed

This is my Data Speed Tweak that would be found in my "DARKSTAR" ROM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22991708#post22991708 )
It is a flashable .zip
IF SOMETHING HAPPENS ITS ON YOU!!!
This has been tested on 3 gingerbread ROMs and 2 ICS ROMs, but it should work on any rooted ROM (including stock) on the E4GT.
Code:
installing
1.) reboot into CWM or any custom recovery
2.) install from external SDcard
3.) reboot
i went from .32 megabits/sec (fastest) to .75 megabits/sec (slowest) (on 3G)
**This will work in most areas but not all.**

What does this change to increase 3g speed?

it adds a file to the system part of a ROM

When i go to install this in cwm, I get a Error status 6, installation aborted. Yes it is on the external sd card. any ideas?

First try and reinstall. i prefer to install from my pc because it seems more reliable that dling from my phone. test speeds before and after and let us know how it goes. what cwm are you using. you might want to try the latest zip/tar for your build if your not already on it.

it puts a file in the /system/etc and it tell the radio how to connect to the network and it increase the connection speed for a faster download

Is this just a script that does the DNS or whatever changes to skip the Sprint proxies?
If so awesome, good stuff =) If not I'd love to know so I can try this as well.
For those who haven't seen it before though, you can do it manually from this Qbking vid.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LnUFd4osq8
It helped mine out a little bit.. doubled it probably though trust me it wasn't impressive beforehand so doubling wasn't much of an accomplishment.

Is it a file that can just's be pushed into the proper folder? Flashing doesn't seem to be working for me

no that dns bypass is possible via a build.prop edit but thats not what this is, this is just simply a sysctl tweak, you can read about it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523707 op should update his post that it works on ALL android because we ALL have the linux kernel

Perhaps those that have already done it manually can't do by CWM because there is no change to the script?

You just answered my question, I'm about to bake this in my own little rom. Samsung forums always make me feel funny because everything is the same but with a lil diffrent tweak or theme here or there so I never release my work

something else kinda odd is the date on the one already on my system is dated 01 Aug 08 the one from your zip is dated 14 Nov 11. But they both have exact same lines within the script. And they are both 540bytes. MD5 has same number as well. I don't know if any of this info is helping anyone, but just trying to share what I am getting on my end.

[MOD]Phantom's Build.prop Tweaks

Taking this down for now, I have a rom coming out tonight
Hey all, some of you may know me from other sammy forums. I currently don't have a galaxy s iii yet, so am limited to what I can do in terms of development at the moment, but would like to release some build prop tweaks for you guys to get things running a little smoother.
The build.prop is attached at the bottom, just unzip and adb push to /system or place it there using root explorer and change permissions to match the existing file.. Enjoy, I will have more to come soon
For the latest lf9 Update.

Awesome to see you here! Used Blazer on my SII right up until last month! Can't wait to see whats in store.

If we place it there with root explorer should we unzip it first? or place the zip there also?
Edit: Should we reboot the phone after adding this to the system folder? How is it activated? Thank you in advance

Unzipped, moved to /system, and replaced file. Tried a reboot but no dice. I suggest you know for sure that a mod is going to work before you post. No disrespect

Did you change permissions? And what do you mean by no dice? Won't boot? Don't notice a difference? Phone runs worse?

Probably just forgot. For future reference, It's something you should always do when replacing a system file. Change permissions to match the existing file.

[Q] How do I disable OTA notifications?

I am running Note Cards 1.1 and I get an OTA update notification every few minutes and it is driving me nuts! Does anybody know how to disable update notifications on the Galaxy Note II?

Anybody?

Why does a custom ROM not remove this? Just goes to show that a little bit of knowledge about developing can be dangerous and a stock ROM with build.prop tweaks shouldn't even be posted...
That said, delete /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip and reboot.

On the gs3 we just ran the update as it wouldnt go through, then reboot the phone as it would take you to recovery. after that it wouldnt prompt you any more.

Its simple root your device and you are done.you will not get ota notification as ota is disabled when device is rooted.
And even this doesn't works then root device,download app called link2sd or Rom toolbox and freeze software update app.it will work for sure.

Delete the file viperboy said, and delete the update file in /cache (if it's there). Then accept the update...the reboot timer will start but nothing will happen. Press the home button and never look back. Worked for me.

I feel like an idiot but reading/googling hasn't helped me figure out how to actually find this folder to delete that file. Is this something you find on the phone itself or with the rom zip pre-flash. My file manager doesn't have any folders named system, etc, or security

First off you need a file manager that allows root access, make sure you allow those folders to be accessed "in the settings menu of that manager." It is a file from your device if you are getting the notification.

I just received the update and nothing has happened. I no longer getting update notification

Update for a sure way without deleting files rooted device.
use a folder explorer like Root Explorer:
[QRCODE]https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer&hl=en[/QRCODE]
Navigate to:
/system/app: change fwupgrade.apk to fwupgrade.old and keychain.pak to keychain.old
/system/etc/security: change otacerts.zip to otacerts.old
Now reboot to recovery mode and wipe cache. Reboot system to GUI. If update appears, accept install. Countdown will appear but nothing will be installed.
The update notification will no longer appear. :good:
