[ROM] TweakerRom 1.1.0 - Shield Android Development

The first (very mildly) customized ROM for NVIDIA SHIELD... Tweaker.
For those who tried SHIELD on launch day (or early on before the OTA was applied), it had a dashboard with bigger graphics that were easier to read. Now, it's just icons. I don't like the icons. So a little bit of hacking together pieces (and adding SuperUser while I was at it) resulted in TweakerRom.
Don't expect much difference, at least not until I get CM-10.2 done for SHIELD. But this has a nicer interface, in my opinion, and is based on the latest OTA 1.1 release (with the SHIELD UI from the original image)
You need to install a SuperUser app (I highly recommend SuperSU) but you don't need to use recovery to do it.

Reserved for changelog and stuff

Reserved for Video! It WILL come.

This is great! Will flash this tonight once I can get CWRM to flash properly in fastboot...

Awesome! I'm glad to see the first step being made, but I'm going to hold out until 10.2. I'm getting lazy in my old-ish age.:silly:

Sorry BUT:
I hate to be "that guy" but could you put up a mirror or can I? These are my speeds:
and... I am getting a 850kb per second download speed.

I just finished Unlocking and Flashing your recovery when the download finished (YES I unlocked it just for this ROM). I have to say: I LOVE the interface, I never got to see it but it is SO much better! Thanks for pioneering the development over here, there isn't much at all... I plan to do some theming stuff once I get around to it XD

Hi, how things going with CM-10.2 for SHIELD? If you need extra device for tests just let me know.

New OTA update out today. Android 4.3. Will there be any issues if I update through this rom?

If you do not have the stock recovery then you cannot install the factory update. If you installed this rom you don't have the stock recovery.

All you asked was if you could get the update while having this rom. I did answer the question. Was not trying to be difficult. Next time I guess I will just say no and you figure can the rest out.

The SHIELD is a bit of an unusual exception here - most of their OTAs seem to be full system images, instead of delta patches.
While this makes the OTAs much larger, it also makes them much more robust.

The purpose of making it is to create a clean rom for people that might not want everything customised. eg. having a blank cardboard box. You can do anything with it.
A simple rom for simple people.
The improvements will be that it might be a bit faster and a bit more space.
i will in the future be creating a rom that is customized
Make it root, take away everything except the essentials, use launcherpro as the default launcher and your done!

Good luck to you bud, hope it will be soon because would be good to see how it performs over stock and other modified Roms.
And just a little note to everyone moaning about this already. if you don't like what he is doing then you know what to do. don't download it then you won't have lost anything will you. he is doing this in his own time with no funding so maybe not should grateful. why don't you create your own Rom and then we can moan about it!!!!

Although you are correct in some way, that wasn't a very smart question. Not everyone likes one same launcher right? But does that mean every dev and android phone manufacturer should put about ten different launchers in their ROMS to suit everyone's needs? Ah, ok!

[ROOT][5/24]Sprint One Root and Disable System Write Protection

Thanks to Dees_Troy getting TWRP working on this device, I have made an easy way to root your Sprint One and disable /system write protection.
Q&A​What does this contain?
Everything necessary to install the latest SuperSU and supporting files (su binary included)
Install latest busybox in recovery
A ported wp_mod.ko module for this kernel
A script to start wp_mod.ko
A modified boot.img - insecured (allows for remounting of /system to rw when in Android), enabled USB debugging by default, and added busybox run-parts (alows scripts to run during boot).
What is /system write protection?
HTC now keeps you from writing to /system through the kernel. When you try to modify anything in /system, you'll get a reboot. This cannot be fixed until there is source available, so this method by flar2 works wonderfully.
How is this different from this method?
TWRP's method is great, but it doesn't disable /system rw protection. This means that you will still experience issues when modifying /system when booted into Android (deleting/adding files, updating SuperSU binary, etc). I would recommend my flashable .zip method!
Can I use this if I already installed SuperSU from TWRP?
Yes, you can flash this with no issues.

You bet lol it's lovely!
What a champion among men. Fine a bit longer nap when you're done. And the good gruel!
All jokes aside, thanks a lot for all of this. Now I'm prepped for Fridays release.
How'd you get into devving anyways? Did you have previous programming knowledge or just dive right in? I really wanna get into it and I'm very knowledgeable about computers and android but I've haven't dealt with coding much(save for a few lessons on codecademy) nor have looked much into development for android. Is it difficult to say add a new setting to the stock settings or to bake in/remove an app that wasn't there or needs to be removed?
Sorry if I'm taking up your time I'm just really interested in getting into it. I've been running other peoples ROMs from lgoptimusog>htcevoOG>htcevo3d>galaxye4gt>evolte>galaxys3 not to mention tablet ROMs and I just want to make my own tailored to me.

So what fastboot commands would I use? I may make a tutorial on youtube once I get the Sprint HTC One on Friday. Rooting can be complicated, but is so much fun to do! Thanks for the fast root, I mean damn the phone ain't even out yet! So excited, as I cannot wait for Cyangenmod and PACMan ROM's. I love stock Android!

Yeah, you can. If you have TWRP installed, you can flash one of the stock rooted ROMs I put out (they have this built-in), or if you want to just flash this, it's basically the same as stock Odex ROM. Your call, but I'd hop on a deodex ROM, all mods will be done for deodex ROMs.

You just flash it over any android version you already have, but ONLY on the LG REVOLUTION.
To get a zip just, unroot, ota to ZVB, reroot, make a backup, and send it to me, at which point i can get a ZVB ROM pushed out.
And some features of this are not ready, a am working as fast as i can to get features made or ported.
V2!
Version 2 is here!
It has some new features(Xposed).
The battery icon is not fixed, it will be fixed later.

Theme manager does not work, i rushed to get this ROM released, because I lagged too long.
So in V2.1 OR V3 it should work, and the status bar in V2.1.
Is the hidden LG menu in this build. ##program910 with 00000 force closes, and ##lgservicemenu I get a ringing tone.
I want to access the test battery option so I can use my extended battery which gives me not genuine battery.

I have an easy root fix for once you update to 4.4 if you have Mac
I modified the Root.Nexus.4.zip file for Mac on here, updated it to CWM 6.0.4.3 image, and SuperSU 1.65 image. Just unzip, and run the Root.Nexus.4 terminal shell script with the N4 in fastboot with USB connected to the Mac, I think you can use a similar script for PC and prob need USB drivers if you don't have them already. Hope this helps
I'm unable to post a link on here since I'm a newb, PM if you want the link to the zip
Thanks
Another build available here : http://www.androidauthority.com/android-4-4-kitkat-nexus-4-nexus-7-download-unofficially-313352/.
Flashed this in CWM, everything, including root is absolutely fine. (I flashed SuperSu 1.65 zip). But for the proper google experience, have to wait for the factory images.
The lockscreen widgets functionality (except for the camera widget) seems to have been removed, can anyone find that option anywhere?
Edit: Lockscreen widgets can be enabled in Settings->Security.

Yeah, just thought I would share this link as well, since for some people, it seemed to break root, but this build worked fine for me, including root.

[ROM] OctamodWear - Stock + root + busybox + Reboot2Recovery

CAUTION!! This ROM is mostly made for developers and people interested in developing for Samsung Gear Live. I take no responsabilities for possible damages to your device.
Hi everyone.
I open a new thread here in General because I have not enough posts for posting in Development, and I don't want to spam other threads only for posting there. Moderators can move this if they want.
We have here the first Custom ROM for Samsung Gear Live: OctamodWear
Currently we have very few new features, but this is only the beginning.
Features
- OctamodWear 0.2
- KMV78Y based
- Fully deodexed
- Root
- Busybox
- WearControl, the system management app. Reboot2Recovery is gone; install WearControl from PlayStore to ensure you always have the latest version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=octathorp.wearcontrol
- ES File Explorer and Quick System Info preinstalled
- OctamodWear 0.1
- KMV78X based
- Root
- Busybox
- Reboot2Recovery, it's an app made by me that let you reboot in recovery mode (interesting for use with custom recoveries).
- ES File Explorer and Quick System Info preinstalled (mainly, for developing purposes. I included them because it was a pain to install again with each data-wipe during tests).
Important
- Superuser permissions (root) are enabled by default, without Superuser or similar app. So, whatever app that you install and require root permissions will obtain them. That's due to the fact that there is no Superuser app for Android Wear yet.
- We need unlocked bootloader in order to be able to install the ROM (fastboot oem unlock).
- This system (Android Wear) is still very recent, and there are many things we don't know, despite its similarities with Android.
Work-in-progress...
- Get a better battery consumption.
- Improve performance
- Other things I have not thought about yet
Installation
If you don't have unlocked bootloader, follow this steps:
- Connect using ADB and run "adb reboot bootloader"
- In the bootloader screen, run "fastboot oem unlock". Warning!! This will wipe the device.
- Once you have unlocked the bootloader, the next step is to flash the provided system.img, using "fastboot flash system system_octamodWear.img"
- Done!

I will try to help you if you need it, but please, there are a lot of pages on the web where you can get information about ADB drivers or bootloader unlocking effects, so please, use Google.
Furthermore, I don't have much free time due to work and personal life, so this ROM will not have a very fast development. My main purpose is to give people something they can start working with, and make a great development community.
Enjoy it!
You sir are a genius!
I borked my phone installing TWRP and flashing this ROM was the only way I fix my watch! Thank you!

It is pre rooted as stated above. And yes its very good. Includes a file manager, which is handy....
Dev, presumably we should not install any OTA's?
This is the best day EVER!! Thank you so very much!!
Hey @octathorp I just received an update a couple days ago and did it... I assume the update would not be compatible with this ROM, or can I still install this ROM? Thanks!
Update is KMV78Y by the way.
Hi.
I have not received the update yet, so i don't really know. It should work well, because this is only system.img, but i'm gonna update the base rom as soon as I receive the update.
One thing i forgot to post some days ago... I've made an app that lets you reboot your device into recovery or bootloader, as well as changing CPU governors. It's Reboot2Recovery replacement, and it will be included in next release. Meanwhile, you can get the app from Play Store, searching "WearControl" (sorry i cannot post links yet).
I'll update the OP.

Here you go... WearControl!
Return to Stock?
What would be the best way to return to stock? My guess would be to flash the system img that Adam Outler posted but want to make sure that I'm correct. I got excited and flashed this without backing up on TWRP first.
Hey is it possible to put the ROM in flashable form for TWRP?! Would make it much easier to install

I don't have tested it, but should do the trick. I don't have neither a backup from the original system...

That's a good idea I will try in next days, but only as a concept. If it works well, i will try to launch next update through a flashable update.zip

Awesome man! I know you said in OP that you are very busy and stuff, would be appreciated though if you got the flashable working, then I can flash stuff on the watch like I do on my phone, so easy.... instead of having to go thru ADB!
I've installed the rom but I don't see any of the included applications listed in the launcher I'm using them.
I can access them though using start tho. Anyone know how to get them into the launcher?
Octathorp, do you want a copy of my backup of KMV78Y?

Link to the update from KKV81 to KMV78Y Just out of interest

I use the Mini Launcher and all the icons appear that way....without going to start first!
I lost the update a few days ago, and oddly enough it popped up right away after I rebooted my watch when I installed this rom..I swiped left and it told me it was downloaded, and ready to install..I clicked ok..and it took me to TWRP and didnt install lol...anyway, all is running smooth...lets see how battery life it compared to stock

That would be great, thank you. I will use it in case I don't receive Y update.
I use WearMini Launcher and have no problems at all.

Battery life should be the same as stock, as there are no power optimizations yet, but you could try WearControl with powersave mode instead.

First thanks for the first custom rom for the Gear Life!
Does anybody have a mirror? Dev Host is really slow, 1 hour to download 146mB :silly:
