If you like my work, feel free to buy me a drink
Note: tested only on the internal sd (don't have an external one)
Also, should work with all cwm based recoveries (not the original ones!)

So basically you can install zip file with this app, instead of with cwm in recovery?

it will reboot to recovery, install the stuff,
and then boot back to android
so no more manually booting to recovery, selecting the files, and so on...

He did all those things (cwm, counter reset) without a phone, see what he can do now that he owns one! Simply amazing!
Thanks for all of your work. Downloading now.
Just a thought: will this do a Nandroid backup? I've always wondered if it would be possible to automatically get a backup of my phone every night while I shnooze. This sounds like it might be possible...

well, right now you can select, to create a backup before you flash a file
you could also of course do only the backup, but remember, it will reboot to recovery, but if it is on a timer at night, then you probably wont care as much...

Wow this seems so much simpler than having to boot in and boot out. This does it for you, Nice!
Also to install....?? There's no instruction. CWM flash?

Braway, believe it or not, I was planning on asking you this very question this morning, only to find that you've already been working on it.
It does not let you create a backup without a zip in the queue, however. It aborts the action.
Also, is there a specific CWM version that needs to be installed?

With installed ADW Launcher EX:
This build is for Viewsonic Viewpad 7. I’ve made this build mainly because I had one big problem with stock one – it was offering little space for my apps. I've used this opportunity to add extra features and remove some annoying ones. Here is the list of changes:
based on latest official stock Viewpad 7 firmware Android 2.2.2
added Darktremor Apps2SD 2.7.5.2 functionality (require that you have extra partition on your SD card for storing your apps; exact procedure to create one is described in installation procedure)
fully deodexed and zipalligned ROM
ROM is rooted (Superuser.apk + su)
installed BusyBox with support for init.d scripts
replaced "Welcome" boot animation with stock android 2.2 animation
installed Gingerbread keyboard
installed Morelocale2 for more languages
modified framework-res.apk and services.jar with Gingerbread look like + % battery
removed Aldiko,RSS, TouchPAL_M20
updated gapps to newest version (Gmail, GoogleQuickSearchBox, Maps, Market, VoiceSearch) & YouTube
modified host file for ad-free
Now you don’t have to worry about decreasing internal storage when you install more application. You don’t also lose access to application when you phone is connected in drive mode to computer, because application data is being hold on ext3 partition on SD card. That partition isn’t mounted when your phone is connected to computer. The things that are redirected to this partition are: /data/app, /data/app-private and /data/dalvik-cache. Firmware should also work with compatible devices such as: Cherry Mobile Superion, Commtiva Linx N700, Olivepad VT-100, Spice MI700, and Camangi FM600 but I don't have these devices, so I cannot verify. As always make a backup before installing any custom firmwares.
Requirements:
installed Clockwork Recovery Partition as described here [TOOL] Viewpad 7 Backup, Root & Recovery
Changelog:
V1.0
initial release
Installation:
Power down your device.
Power on device holding power button and both volume keys simultaneously.
Upon power up you will see the birds logo and 'enter recovery' text in the top left corner of the screen.
Use the volume keys to step through the menu, power to select and back. (there is bug in clockwork when you press volume keys it jumps 2 steps; to jump one step press and hold volume and then press power to select)
Select the "advanced->Partition SD Card" item, next select size for your Apps2SD partition (1024MB recommended), next select 0 as size of swap partition. (Remember that this will delete all data on your SD card, so make backup of SD card if you need !!!)
After the partitioning will be done select the "reboot system now" item.
Using USB cable connection or SD card reader copy CleanViewpad7_signed_v1.0.zip to root folder of SD card.
Power down your device.
Power on device holding power button and both volume keys simultaneously.
Select the "backup and restore->Backup" item to make a backup of the current firmware in case something goes wrong. The backed up ROM should be located in: /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/date&time/
Select the "wipe data/factory reset->Yes – delete all user data” to clear old stuff.
Select the "install zip from sdcard->choose zip from sdcard" item and select CleanViewpad7_signed_v1.0.zip.
After flashing will be done select the "reboot system now" item. First boot may take a few minutes.
Migrate from stock or another build:
Make backup of your phone using Titanium Backup (select all user applications).
Copy all files and folders from SD card to local folder on your computer.
Install Clockwork Recovery Partition, create partition on SD card and install ROM as described in installation guide.
Copy all files and folders from local folder on your computer back to SD card.
Restore applications using Titanium Backup and reboot your phone.

Nice work bro.although it would be better to use the latest a2sd version of darktremor(2.7.5.3)
which supports ext4 partition and data2sd feature.so instead of adding a2sd 2.7.5.2 you can provide a link to the flashable zip of the latest DT-a2sd (http://www.darktremor.info/files/a2sd/dtapps2sd-2.7.5.3-beta04-signed.zip). it works i have tested it.

yes i have it rooted. what i had to do was boot the stock rom boot.img with this rom. working great right now.
I followed the directions in the first post and then downloaded the file from post#2.
Once you have the file from post #2 on your SD card, rename it to update.zip and then boot your device into Clockwork Recovery and select the "update from zip" option. Rebooted and my device now has 167MB of available space on the internal phone storage.
Thanks guys... this is the way the device should have shipped from Viewsonic, and although it aint no Gingerbread, I'm finally happy with my Viewpad after several months if dissapointment.
One thing that I find to be very strange is that it appears that some data is saved somewhere?
Even after I performed the following:
Formatting the SD Card
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Wipe dalvik cache
Load the new ROM
Did not log into any kind of google account and basically skipped all the setup options.
The device still shows all the wireless hotspot data that I logged into before. Why does it have the password for my WiFi router after all those steps were performed.
If I were to sell the device to someone else, is there any way to be sure ALL data has been cleared from the device?
Cheers!
Great work, good to see another ROM for the Viewpad!!!
Will for sure try it...
A few questions:
You are using the a2sd version of darktremor(2.7.5.3), I personally use Link2SD which also moves all data, cache,... to the 2nd partition of the SD card...
It's actively developed and it's free, so check it out...
Is this ROM with the kernel from tj-style? Then we can overclock to 824Mhz and it gives a nice speed boost...
If then you do not want to use it for your ROM, you can set it to the stock speed with SetCPU...
Thanks,
Nick
Since many people are requesting for TJstyle's oc'd kernel.I modified this ROM to add the kernel and some other stuff.
Here is the download link:

I keep seeing talk about "DON'T USE ROM MANAGER" it is causing issues right now in MANY DIFFERENT THREADS. Just wanted to show anyone that has issues with rom manager and how it worked for me. I have used rom manager to download roms (CM7), and also run BACKUPS from rom manager. So Rom Manager does work without issue for CM7, and still works well with any other rom for our ATT SGS2's with one little catch which is very easy to do. I know the video is not the greatest quality as I used my old cappy to record running rom manager as a backup. So if this helps you out great. If not know big deal, just thought I would try to help.

Why mess with something which can only cause grief to most people.
Best to wait for a new update of it which is fully compatible with our
phones and all the custom roms.
Until then here is a very good substitude which include many of the
same features and options as rom manager and is 100% compatible.
Check it out!
CWM Manager can be downloaded here: http://megaupload.com/?d=TGXMLL1G
It's very easy to use because its fully self-explanitory.

It is when the phone first goes to reboot to recovery that it will go to a black screen with a symbol on it, when you see that screen you just hold down the three button salute until screen goes black, then let go of the buttons, the backup process will begin where it should be and create your backups.
Rom manager is NO GRIEF at all and MOST know of it and how it works. This is a VERY EASY workaround rather than having another app to install to do the same exact things. But I guess there are people that cannot read instructions and follow so I SHOWED how it is done. But when you see people saying it didn't work for them on different post because they are not familiar enough to use it. I am not pointing you out MrJunky but I ha e seen you post this over and over again. I am just trying to help those out that may need it.
Hopefully others can see HOW EASY it is with a video to backup their roms (ANY ROM), then how to go about switching between backed up roms very easily. This way they can test out DGs roms, Unnamed rom, CM7, or any other rom without the fear of screwing up anything. So that is why the video shows How To BACKUP and how to SWITCH between different roms via your backups.

So, your "ROM Manager" workaround was to trigger entry into the standard non-broken non-ROM-Manager recovery?
You use the three-finger, you are no longer using ROM Manager.
This is why we tell people not to use ROM Manager. Your method is harder than simply using the three-finger from poweroff, or if you've got a custom ROM, the Recovery option from reboot menu.
Yes the workaround is slightly different as once your phone starts to boot up and goes to the screen you hold down the three buttons. I only did this because I saw others that were pulling the battery since they thought they were stuck. The plus is when using rom manager to backup the current rom you can easily name it via rom manager and.once it is backed up and rebooted you can see the name you picked stuck. I know how to JUST use the three button salute and backup right from cwm, this is.just a workaround for someone wanting to use rom manager. And it.is not any harder than JUST using the three button. It is basically the same except it allows you to use rom manager and name the backed up rom before actually backing it up. This has helped.me.in the past when I made a backup from cwm within the same day for two different roms. I wasn't sure which one was which. So I didn't want to JUST try to rename them after the fact. Yes it is NOT a big deal here but it does work. I know you do great.things for this community, and I am no dev so I am not trying to argue any points with you. I am just showing that.it can work with ease. Plus RM works perfect with CM7 without having to do the three button workaround to get rom manager to work. So what.is it that would allow CM7 use.rom manager correctly yet the stock based Samsung roms not work without a workaround?

Why not just avoid all the hassles in the first place?
Rom Manager is not the only app which can do nandroid backup/restore,
rename, delete, flash roms and kernels and much more.
(and yes it asks for filename BEFORE backing up existing rom)
For example here is an app called CWM Manager which can do all that stuff
and more without 3 finger salute or any hassle at all.
cwm manager: http://megaupload.com/?d=TGXMLL1G
About the only thing it's lacking when compared to rom manager is that
it cannot download roms or anything else.
Personally I think that for the majority of users its a lot less complicated to use than Rom Manager.
Check it out yourself.
Are there any other apps that are similar to this? My issue is that I can't backup to my ext SD which is significantly larger, 32class10.? Or is the a mod so I can mount my ext SD as the main storage? That way all apparently recognize my sdext?

I don't understand why so many people are tied to Rom Manager. It's not that great of a tool and honestly I'm happier without it. What's the point of trying to make it work to such a degree? Maybe I'm missing something but if it never works properly, I'll be perfectly fine with it.

Just do the backup and then move it from the internal over to your ext. Or are you out of space as it is to where you can't even do a backup to begin with?

I don't understand why so many people are tied to Rom Manager. It's not that great of a tool and honestly I'm happier without it. What's the point of trying to make it work to such a degree? Maybe I'm missing something but if it never works properly, I'll be perfectly fine with it.
Dude I am not tied to it, its just that much easier! Ex. a. there is a grocery store 1 miles down the street and very easy to walk to b. on the other hand i have a car in my drive way ready to be use and i could get back so much quicker.. What choice would 99.9% of people use? Obviously b. Rom managers makes it easy to make nandroids and restore, everthing is automated. I can just "set it and forget it". Installing zips is nice because i paid for the premium version so i can flash as many zips as i wont in one swop. You would be lying if you said you prefer booting into to recovery and manually flashing or backups or restores, rather than just hitting backup or restore etc. Also it is nice because you can name your backups before you backup it up.
I am not out of space but i will be soon. I just got the phone and i have 5 gigs left (that is 2 days of use) . Moving the backups manually to the ext is such a pain and the ass. Is there alternatives out there to rom manager besides CWM Manager?

I wasn't referring to you actually, was more with regards to the thread itself and so many that are like it. That's why I stated it before I then quoted you and gave my input.
I find it simple to copy them over and renaming them is easy as well. Obviously it would be ideal for many people but personally it's not a big deal - that's all I'm saying.
SIMULAR to Rom Manager
jgrimberg1979 said:
Are there any other apps that are similar to this? My issue is that I can't backup to my ext SD which is significantly larger, 32class10.? Or is the a mod so I can mount my ext SD as the main storage? That way all apparently recognize my sdext?

Why not just avoid all the hassles in the first place?
Rom Manager is not the only app which can do nandroid backup/restore,
rename, delete, flash roms and kernels and much more.
(and yes it asks for filename BEFORE backing up existing rom)
For example here is an app called CWM Manager which can do all that stuff
and more without 3 finger salute or any hassle at all.
cwm manager: http://megaupload.com/?d=TGXMLL1G
About the only thing it's lacking when compared to rom manager is that
it cannot download roms or anything else.
Personally I think that for the majority of users its a lot less complicated
to use than Rom Manager. (because it's self-explanitory)
This app is 100% compatible with CWM Recovery too.
Check it out yourself.

When I rename a ROM BACKUP in CWM Manager before backing it up then try to restore it, it can't find it. It just shows a blank restore screen. For some reason renaming it doesn't work for me. Just using the default name (date and time) works but custom names do not. That is a major issue, at least for me.
OTOH I don't like having to do the 3 finger salute .... both have their problems.

You simply have to rename it without any spaces. You can use periods and dashes but if you put in any spaces, it won't find them.

That's because when you change the default date/time name you
must have given it some name which contains some charactor(s)
which cwm manager cannot reconize or you changed the location
of the backed up rom to a different location than where it was saved to.
Proper location for backup is: ( sdcard/clockworkmod/backup ).
Then inside the backup folder is where the default or user named
backup folders containing the backup set of files needs to reside.

Crysis Battery Mod
For ICScrewD, ShoStock, UnNamed, and CM7Hey everyone,
I recently made this for my phone, and thought it would be a good idea to share this with everyone. This is the Crysis battery mod, I just made this work with icscrewed rom. This works with the blue, and green editions. This is cwm flashable.
EDIT:
I have realized that i did this all wrong. The charging animations were off because this was the wrong pictures. I have gone to the kitchen and made this both again. The charging animation now works like it should. Sorry. I guess this happens when this is your first try.
EDIT again :
I made a new battery icons that go really well with the blue edition. Link for download below.
Due to request, made the crysis mod to work with shostock and cm7. Battery is the same as the icscrewd pictures, down below.
CM7 battery is now working. To apply, go to theme chooser, and then select uot kitchen as your theme.
Thanks for your patience.
Installation Instructions:
Download right file for your rom
Nandroid backup (just in case
flash
reboot
go to theme settings and choose uot kitchenDue to request, I have made a version of this for UnNamed. Download below. If you would like this on the rom you are on, just ask.
And another one!
This is a big battery for UnNamed, something different. Screenshots and download below
New battery for UnNamed. Same as first screenshot.

Oh, I'm not really sure what to do then. Are you using a custom theme for cm, because I noticed that under the options, and also your using the nightly version right? Because that is what I downloaded. I will try to fix this when I get back from school.
If I had money, I would get a credit card. If I had a credit card, I would donate.
yeah its the latest nightly and no custom theme used. will wait for the fix. thanks!
Yes, same here. I am on the latest nightly (actually Vanilla nightly from Sam3000) and siyah 2.6.9. When I flash the battery mod my rig goes into a bootloop. Tried a bunch of things including wiping the cache etc. but still going into a bootloop at the CM7 start animation. Any ideas? Love to have this and thanks for trying!

I downloaded this, flashed it, and flashed my battery mod. I was not able to replicate the boot loop, however, i made a cwm flashable zip with the two apps that i changed in the battery mod. Download this, and go into cwm, then to mountst and storage. Select mount usb storage, and copy the zip into your phones sd card. I havent tried this, but then select reboot, and let the phone loop a couple of times. Then pull out the battery and go to cwm and flash the zip. I'm sorry that this happened, but i can't do much more than this, because i cant replicate this issue.
Hope This helps

You can download it to either sd card. If you can't get into cwm, then download the fix file, and extract it. Then use adb push to send the two files there into your phone. SystemUI.apk goes into /system/app, and framework-res into /system/framework.
If I had money, I would get a credit card. If I had a credit card, I would donate.

Hello all,
I've rooted my GNote and tried to get rid of some useless apps, since updating to official ICS made it unbarebly slow and a lot laggy. I used Titanuim Backup to remove some apps and it reboots without deleting any, also it sucks even if it works cuz it needs to reboot everytime u wana remove an app!!!
Is there any alternatives I can try that don't require rebooting?
JIC: I will flash it with a custom debloated, deodexed ROM, but not right now as i need to do a few backups. but for the time being i need something to get by.
Thanks.
Something is not right there. When I used TiBu to uninstall system apps (debloat a factory rom) apps I had no problems ans didn't have to reboot svery time. Just did this again a couple days ago removing a few apps from fj's rom.
Check your settings in tibu and double check if unknown sources and usb debugging are on. Then recheck root, that is my suggestions.
No point in worrying. Flashing any one of our devs roms will give you a better experience than the OTA. Download rom manager and use it to install cwm. Place the rom on the SD card and reboot into recovery. First create a backup then wipe system, cache and dalvik three times and flash the zip. Depending on the rom you may need to flash gapps after system install. Done. No bloat plus lots of optimizations and goodies.

I have seen a lot of complaints of lagginess from people who updated OTA.
I updated via Odin with an ICS image from samfirmware and never had a problem.
Debloating after that made a bit of a difference too but not the kind of difference you'd see with flashing an AOSP variant.

Thank you sir.
I have CWM flashed already so what are the next steps? (this is my first time flashing a custom ROM)
btw, by "pc" do you mean a desktop computer or "windows OS"? (there is a lot confusion going on out there.)
and no I don't use my GNote to download anything other than apps from "Google Play".
I did a wipe before installing the update through Kies, and I'm pretty happy with the stock rom. I think Samsung needs to find a way to add a full backup and restore to Kies and just perform a wipe as it upgrades. Shouldn't be too hard, Titanium already does it (mostly).
I had this problem too.
Don't long press the app to uninstall it. Just click it and the window to backup or uninstall will pop up.

Safestrap is based on Non-Safe- (Stock Motorola System) and Safe System (Custom System)
Non Safe System:
This is your Stock Motorola System, which will be protected during an Flash on Safe System. That means your Blur Rom is save and you can always boot back into Non Safe System, in case that something went wrong during your Crackflashing - Actions!
Safe System:
This is the System where all the Fun happens. Here you can flash any Rom / Theme or Mod. Your Blur System won't get touched and you can try some crazy stuff on Safe Side of Life.
Requirement
Rooted ICS (Android 4.0.4)
!BusyBox installed!
!! Always got your FastbootFiles ready and your Battery charged till 100% to be prepared for the worst case > Brick on Non Safe System !!
Important:
Don't got any other Custom Recovery on your RazR, when you are on your way to try Safestrap!
I recommend an clean SBF Flash of your Stock ICS Rom to kick all Leftovers of CWM (Touch) out of your System!
If you are using BootMenu you can uninstall it completely from your System.
Just follow these steps:
Open BootMenu > Install / Uninstall
Start uninstall from top till bottom

HSD thanks for this thread!
Probably someone will find a way to increase the memory in the future,the memory is 600 MB because the phone is loading two kernels in once,so it has to share some memory with the first loaded kernal,this is at least my opinion.
meanwhile i have three questions:
1.Will users would be able to load other kernals in the future?
2.Kexec is integrated to cm9 only? or is it possible to run Kexec on other roms?
3.Is there any change log or some information on what Kexec integrated kernals offer?
Thanks in advance .
I assume this is the thread to talk about it.
I think so.
But for more Information we have to wait for an right, working Link to add in OP. It's hard to follow all these Links that changes daily an till now I wasn't able to access rombot again.
I use KeXec ICS the first time today and it's new for me, too. So we'll see what happens in future.
@ the moment I'm just thankful, that these Guys released it for XT910 today

And when kexec'll be adapted to bootmenu, Which advantages will Safestrap have over Bootmenu?
Thanks for the post!
When Whirleyes is back from vacation I'm sure he will KeXec get running on BootMenu.
Personaly I miss it, because it's a lot faster than Safestrap is.
Sent from my KeXec InfecteD XT910
Well nice work hsd again but I would I like to say saying something its currently better not to switch to kexec cause battery life is not good and animations in the rom are slow also camera is not working
It would be better to wait for the final rom and then flash it

OK thanks for the answers regarding the memory but i'll just wait until kexec become bootmenu compatible
I recommend an clean SBF Flash of your Stock ICS Rom to kick all Leftovers of CWM (Touch) out of your System!

SBF flash than install safestrap.apk???don't need to root???
Of course you need Root. Flash SBF & Root it. After that install the apk and Recovery.

Finally! I've been waiting for gsm safestrap, no more softbricks! Thx a lot!
@Pilot: Are you running Infected Rom with kexec?? Is it possible to get the CDMA-CM9-Kexec to work using the GSM-Patch? Because the CDMA-CM9 has less bugs..
No, there's only the CM9 KeXec. I changed the Rom & Signatur already.
I've not tried it with the CDMA Rom. The No Deepsleep is an huge problem for me, because of the bad battery drain. I'm not sure if it's fixed on the CDMA Roms already.

You can toggle back to non safe system & boot your Stock Rom.

I think, it's never an good idea to flash Customs, when you're not able to handle RSD. You play russian roulette with the Phone
