If you've ever flashed a new rom, updated a firmware, or plain reformatted - all because you just had to have the newest __blank__? Then you have come to the right place. Nightlies are addictive and exciting, but can be unpredictable and sometime unstable. We take no resposibility for what you do or what happens when you do it.
READ THE FAQ's!
xda member Docent has kindly prepared an easy to follow faq tailored to the AmeriCanAndroid userbase.
You can find (and please DO find) his FAQ here
Optional automatic data/app backup and restore (bkup2sdext)
you do NOT have to partition your sdcard to run this build. All you need is a single fat32 partition, however extended features are available to those who sport a partitioned sd card
Check post 3 for user modifications such as sense theme and round battery icons.

Installation & Updating:
Quote:
Installation & Updating Proceedure is the same!:
MAGLDR NAND:
Download the MAGLDR NAND build to your pc.
1. AmeriCanAndroid ######(magldr).7z -> unzip!
2. Run "ACASetup.exe" as an Administrator.
3. Follow the wizard. Enjoy!
CLK NAND:
New clk users should download the CLKstarterkit and complete steps 1 - 3
(existing clk users who are updating can skip to step 4)
1. Task29:
boot device hold down vol - until tri colored screen.
plug into pc. make sure screen says usb.
right click task29.exe (run as administrator) and follow instruct to wipe your device
oh yeah... we are wiping your device. lol
let this finish
2. Flash clk boot loader (ruusigned1905.nbh):
boot device hold down vol - until tri colored screen.
plug into pc. make sure screen says usb.
right click customruu.exe (run as administrator) and it will flash clk 1.4.0~
let that finish.
3. Flash clockwork mod (clkrecovery.img)
boot the device holding the back button to enter fastboot mode
(you may have to install the good usb drivers. I have included them in the zip)
Open a command line by pressing "windoze key+r" and typing "cmd", followed by enter
Navigate to folder, which contains the recovery image
Type "fastboot erase recovery" (<- not really necessary; just to make sure), followed by enter
Type "fastboot flash recovery cLK_recovery_3.0.2.5.img", followed by enter
Type "fastboot reboot" for rebooting your phone
Access recovery as described in cedesmiths thread (hold home key whilst powering on)
let that finish
4. Flash your new clk android rom (start here if you are updating from previous clk build)
boot device and hold home key whilst powering on
choose mounts and storage -> mount usb storage
make sure your device is plugged in
copy your update-signed.zip to the root of your sdcard
unplug and unmount on your screen.
backup to main clockwork mod menu and choose install zip from sdcard
choose zip from sdcard
choose update-signed.zip
choose YES
and
BAM INSTALLING!
(DONT WORRY ITS NOT FROZEN)
when its done. back to main menu
and choose reboot system now.
**First boot always takes a long time be patient, it will work, and future boots do not take as long.**
bkup2sdext users read below
- To enable backup of apps and data to your sd-ext partition edit /system/build.prop change
@ the bottom aca.bkup2sdext.enable to =1 (change back to 0 to disable)
*to enable restore of /data/data edit /system/etc/shutdown.d/02shutdown and add data after
for i in app app-private so you end up with for i in app app-private data;
save, then reboot.
-!! During day to day use; it is MOST important to SHUTDOWN and not pull batt,
as this is when your data gets backed up to the sd-ext partition.. !!
if you truly feel we are deserving, your donations are appreciated<--clicky!.
Coffee to keep us awake and working THANKYOU to those who have already done so. We'll keep working on making you a better build as best we can.
