HI,
I d/l and installed tnps emmc OpenGL build. I believe based on Eyeballers 2/27 build plus
tnps community extensions.

I was installing over a recent (2/25) tnp ICS build, so I just erased cache and
Dalvik cache (do you really have to erase both). I installed sam's gapps-noinit over
the install.

On first powerup, about a minute of blank screen - seemed forever! Then
'upgrading' my apps.

Based on 10 minutes use:
Stable.
quick test and wifi, gmail, market (d/l chrome), fbreader, newsrob, xda
nova launcher, Dolphin browser all worked.

Chrome was slow to start the first time - give it some time, there is a
license agreement. Chrome crashed on accessing the chrome settings
(as mentioned by others) Only crash I have had so far!

Youtube video, HD doesn't work at all. SD doesn't work well enough to
be useful.

I haven't been following the boot animation discussion, but it looked like
the boot animation was missing.

The "upgrading" was the dalvik cache being rebuilt that you cleared. And you really only need to clear dalvik cache, not both.

There are two dalvik caches, one in /cache/dalvik-cache for your system apps and one in /data/dalvik-cache for your installed apps. Clearing dalvik cache with CWM recovery clears both. Clearing just cache will clear just the cache in /cache. But when installing a new nightly, you are installing new system apps only. So you usually don't have to clear the data dalvik. So if you want to speed up booting the first time you boot with a new nightly, just clear cache and only the system cache will rebuild.

Didn't know that, I just habitually cleared both like a drone.

Thanks for your useful info, as usual.

You should probably be able to grab pretty much any of the bootanimation.zip files (not sure about the ones that are packed as update files though) that have been posted. There was one for the CM9 animation and one for the XDA Developers animation a couple pages back. Just toss the zip into /system/media and change the permissions to rw-r--r-- .They both look pretty good, but the CM9 animation annoyed me a bit when it flashed the screen completely white... especially if that's when the boot process lags a little. Might just be me, but I hate my screen being blindingly white for any period of time.

Also, for anyone who just wants an updated services.jar with the tweaks for V6 enabled... I went ahead and modded one from one of the nightlies I grabbed today (not sure if it was from sam's or eyeballers at this point though, I doubt it matters much since they're likely the same).

It's attached below and goes into system/framework (can be added to the zip before flashing, or placed there after just make sure to fix the permissions on it to rw-r--r--). I've tested it and didn't get any errors like I was with the older one that I was using, ie. usb device errors.

Enjoy.

Ah doan see anything that looks like a 2/27/2012 build at the link. I'd d/l'd the 2/25 build from the 2/26 link (

) yesterday... I must be not understanding your msg. Much I don't understand of course.

Updated services.jar posted.

Made from eyeballers 2/27, but has been tested on Sam's as well. Bugs are fully gone.

On attachments on first post.

Thank you! Emmc/openGL version loaded and running...

Okay so I made this ZIP, it should replace your service.jar with the newest one for V6(I also replaced the one in my .rar from my earlier post if you want to re-download), and the bootanimation to the official CM9 one.

You mentioned how you would include two files in your zip. I am assuming one of them is a tweaked build.prop file. There is a way to modify an existing build.prop on the fly, to delete existing lines and add new ones. Look at my post here and get the attached script:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=22640255

Paste all of the files from the script.rar to your install zip you just created replacing those that are there.

Then edit the buildprop.sh file in /tmp/scripts so that it modifies the lines in build.prop you want. The sed line will delete any line that has whatever is within the single quotes. It can be just part of the line quoted and the whole line will be deleted. Don't forget to leave the /d. The echo line appends whatever is in the double quotes to build.prop. Save the edited buildprop.sh and replace the existing one in the zip.

Then when you flash, the files in system that you had in the zip replace the ones on your nook and the script modifies the existing build.prop already in /system.

The only problem with this is the build.prop modify script will not work on SD installs if you use verygreen's installer. His installer ignors scripts built into the zips. But it does work with the Alternate CWM recovery I posted sometime back. See here:

@leapinlar:

The two files he includes in his rar are most likely the V6 script (in the rar) and the modified services.jar baked into the rom zip. The v6 script edits the build.prop file when it is ran.

*Edit*
I'm not trying to belittle what he's doing or anything. But only 4 or 5 lines need to be edited within the services.jar file when it's built. Sam was saying that he could just bake these into his nightlies (I don't think they affect anything if you don't run the script from how I understood the directions from zep). It may be more practical to do it like this, so that there's not an extra flavor of unofficial nightlies floating around to confuse people more.

I don't think Sam was suggesting that he bake another nightly with this stuff built in. What he was suggesting was an install zip like I was talking about that he could host on his server so it was available for users to flash if they wanted. But since the services.jar needs to be updated periodically as CM9 evolves, I'm not sure that will work.

Yeah, sorry I went back and re-read his post. I thought he was talking about baking it in... I was mistaken, I had read that post late last night while I was trying to figure out why I was getting a USB Device error after using an older services.jar file.

If I knew how to make update zips, I would start putting one up for the file... It only takes a few moments to mod.

Any chance there's a tutorial on making update zips somewhere?

Look back a few posts. I explain it. Look here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23038344

And the post you quoted a few minutes ago. Between those two posts you should be able to make a jim-dandy install zip that puts new files on system and modifies build.prop.

grayfoxmg1 · Feb 28, 2012

I thought about just grabbing all the files edited when I ran V6 and putting them in my zip, but than people would be running my options of V6. One of the main points behind V6 is that you can choose your settings. Me just making it all go in one shot, kind of defeats the purpose. Why would zepplinrox, create this whole thing, if he could just make a zip and be done with it. My zip replaces the service.jar, and adds tnpapadakos' boot animation over the ICS one. You can get the script from mine or mateorod's posts, everything else is up to the user. It isn't hard to do, and it makes a noticeable deference.

Yoinx · Feb 28, 2012

grayfoxmg1, the zips you're uploading are full rom repacks.

What everyone's talking about is just doing update zips, so that there aren't extra rom packs going around for 1 or 2 tweaks. The one you're posting up is a full update file. Not really a big deal... just causes there to be extra releases of the same nightly without much added to it. Doing this as an update zip, it could realistically be applied to all nightlies until the services.jar file is modified during a build... Just kinda makes life easier.

I've gone ahead and made an update zip for just the V6 services. I put the current script file inside as well, so that users will have the same script that the modifications go to within the zip.

@leapinlar, thanks for the tip. I had already gotten most of the way figuring out how to create the update by the time I read your post. First time doing it, I was a bit worried about permissions on the file itself though... Figured I would have to set the permissions on it.

*******

This is simply a flashable update zip based on zepplirocks's guide. All credit goes to him for his hard work. It includes a readme and his script. Make sure to extract the script and run it after applying the patch. The services.jar used was from 27feb2012 nightlies, it may cause errors on newer nightlies.

I've tested the file and had no issues with it.

Zep's post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=991276

Oh, I just noticed that your zips were 12.x megs not 12x megs... sorry grayfoxmg1... Totally a misreading on my part.

If you add this text below to your updater-script in the zip and move the script to /tmp/scripts, it will run the script as part of the flash. Change the name of the .sh file to match yours.

ui_print("Running v6 supercharger...");
package_extract_dir("tmp/scripts", "/tmp/scripts");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/scripts/V6_SuperCharger.sh")
run_program("/tmp/scripts/V6_SuperCharger.sh");

I don't know if the v6 script runs well under a flash, but try it.

Don't worry about permissions in an install zip. (Or on the install zip itself). They get set right on flashing.

Yeah leapinlar, I was tempted to try and do that... but the V6 script as written requires user interaction to choose settings and such. AFAIK, CWM doesn't have any method for accepting input from the user to accomplish this (ie: keyboard).

Unfortunately, I must have been mistaken about gray's packages... They are updates, not full packs.

Some of the confusion between Sam's nightlies and Eyeballers's is they have different dates for the same build. Sam's are dated the night they are built and Eyeballer's are dated the next morning (after midnight). So the same build for Sam might be 2-27 and Eyeballer 2-28.
