INSTALLATION:
## IMPORTANT ##
DO NOT wipe the cache partition after the installation as this will break some functions, otherwise you will need to re-apply the latest update
for new users (fresh installation):
- remember to make a backup first
- I WILL NEVER format your partition or wipe anything for you (except reformat util), please wipe the system/data/cache partitons yourself before install
- put the files in sdcard or external sd and install them in recovery (only tested with cwm)
- after installed, you can start yTab Synapse Control and change any settings you desire
for existing users (applying updates):
- check your current version by opening yTab Synpase Control and see if the version required for the update is met
- install the update file in recovery
- if applicable, you can apply more updates in the same recovery session without the need to reboot between updates
- install multiple updates files in sequence according to the release dates with older files first
FAQ:
[1] how to wipe the partitions properly?
- a) for cwm:
wipe and format options -> custom format options -> choose format /system, /cache and /data
- b) for twrp:
wipe -> under select partitions to wipe page -> choose cache, data and system
[2] why only the back button at the top works but not others/no synapse can be found after installing yTab/synapse doesnt work properly?
- a) most likely you have installed a custom busybox after installing yTab which breaks the predefined symlinks
- to solve this problem, see if it works after uninstalling the custom busybox
- b) you have not wiped the partitions properly before installing yTab and thus causing problems with a mixture of old and new system and data
- as to fix this problem, please refer to FAQ #1 for a how to wipe the partitions properly
[3] could not find or missing VPN/google contacts sync/email/exchange, etc after yTab is installed
- some apps were removed from the rom (debloated)
- please get them in the removed apps section below, or post a request for the apps you need if they are not available yet
[4] yTab Synapse Control always shows json parse error
- get and upload the uci.log file to your online storage by issuing the following command in terminal emulator and then send the link to me via pm (do not paste the log contents in the pm, thanks)
Code:rm /res/synapse/config.json; uci config > /sdcard/uci.log
