Modified updates in cyanogenmod 7 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys I am creating a new ROM and I would like to change the database of updates of CyanogenMod to receive updates released by me and not relased by CyanogenMod, as I do?and how do I get the anonymous stats to me and not to CyanogenMod? Thanks for the answers and excuse me for my bad english

Are you talking about your github log? It will be updated as you commit your changes.

But how do I make him get the updates from my Github account and not from CyanogenMod account? What file should I change?

You need to be more specific as in what you mean by updates. Rom updates as in downloading the lastest rom when there is a new version, changelogs? What?

I want the ROM update itself (obviously, the first requiring the consent of the user) when I release a new version and that the anonymous statistics come to me and not to CyanogenMod

Ok so you want to have a OTA updater, and you want to collect anonymous statistics. Write a Java app that checks a server, compares the version of the current ROM with the one present there, if it's less then downloads the file and prompts the user to reboot into recovery. As to the statistics, that's in the CyanogenMod repo, and if you can't figure it out you shouldn't be collecting them.

Sorry maybe Google translator sucks but I do not understand the issue of anonymous statistical

[ROM] CM7 Untouched [17/12/11]

Some of you per'haps use Cyanogenmod nightly for S2 but their buidbot is out and no update since november, so I decided to compile it for me directly from the Repos it is long and needs a linux box so I decided to share it if you wants to update without compiling during ours.
It work well on mine, i Provide it without any warranty it's just extracted from cyanogenmod.com (see there for more details on the rom).
so : BACKUP before update !
Built on 12/09/11 : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AWTI0B9Y

This looks nice - nicer that the CM9 changelog that is currently available. It is cool having the d/l links there too. Did you make this yourself?
You should post this in the CM9 thread in the dev section. Most people in the General forum won't care about this (unlike actual CM9 users!).
Yes i've created this by my self ! I already feel like i'm spamming i posted it in different device forums

One small suggestion: Could you update the changelogs with device-specific changes as well? No website that have these changelogs (other than Gerrit itself) show device-specific changes.

It already shows device specific changes (merged commits), you just need to select your device from menu and it shows all generic changes and device specific if there is any (by default it opens galaxy s when you visit site).

Ah I see. Didn't select the correct device, sorry
Great job on the site by the way. Better than CM's own "recommended" site

I must have missed your post in the Development forum. I try to keep tabs on the CM9 thread since although I am not using it at the moment I think it is going to be one of the best roms for the Prime.

[Q] Open source OTA updates?

I know you can get OTA updates on a custom ROM via rom manager but its proprietary. Are there any open source solutions to OTA updates on custom roms?

One open source OTA update solutions for custom roms is OTA-UpdateCenter. It's open source and easy to start using, you can check it out here, and check out the source code on their github. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Yea I saw that while googling around but it seems pretty... outdated.

I saw the cyanogenmod ota updater which seems good.

What you could do is fork the cyanogenmod OTA updater and then modify it to suit your own needs fairly easily.

Hello, we have dedicated own OTA server. We cann't use OTA UpdateCenter or other services. What is the best way for use OTA update in aosp?
I have S905x with AOSP provided by amlogic. For OTA update, OTAUpgrade2 app is used.
I set...
Code:
PRODUCT_PROPERTY_OVERRIDES += \
ro.product.firmware=0002\
ro.product.otaupdateurl=h_t_t_p/myurl/myfile
It works. I see incoming requests in my HTTP log. But i don't know the structure and format of checked file (I think, it contains actual_version, url_to_zip, md5...). Thus when I start UPDATE&BACKUP and press "online update button", "No New Version Discovered message" is showed. I tried find in source code, but I think, this all is in one library without source codes (/vendor/amlogic/apps/OTAUpgrade2/libs/libotaupdate.jar). I could not find anywhere on the internet that file format. Thank you for help.

Did you find a solution? The protocol or any ready-to-use server application?

[Q] Is there a Chromium for Android APK?

I found some build instructions at chromium.org and some public repo (not google's) at github, but so far no apk.
I'm asking because I couldn't find a video or demo of chromium running on android either which makes me wonder if it works at all or just limited to a webview basic mode.

I saw it once and tried researching it but could not find it again. Not 1 apk but 2. You need them both. I do not remember their names.

Sounds like some modded whatsapp apks I seen, but couldn't find anything either
Wonder how difficult would it be to couple the chromium-based webview with a browser UI

Yes, but it gets released everyday.
The trick with the official build of Chromium for Android is that it's constantly being released by the Chromium team.
These builds don't auto-update, so you need to install new builds occasionally( I install a new build every day, personally).
I put together an app getChromium that's available on Google Play(can't link anything in here yet) that securely pulls the latest build from the official repository and installs it.
Code's on github.

You should place the link to your app here for the playstore

The app wasn't being used correctly by most of the users acquired on Google Play, so I've actually permanently moved it to GitHub. https://github.com/andDevW/getChromium. People all over the world were using it to install Chromium and then uninstalling it, unaware that the Chromium browser they're using will never update itself.

Repo change from one android version to new android verion

I have a repo with android cm-12.1 as branch.
Now i want to update this repo to new CM version 13.0 without downloading the whole repo again.
Is that possible?
Unfortunately, no. Too many differences in the code bases.

Okay,what happens if init a new branch (cm-13.0) in the same repo directory.
Is it faster than new repo?

Even if you could do that (and I'm not sure you can), the new branch would probably have to sync every single package over again, so you aren't really saving any time (and would likely cause major headaches). I think you really would be better off creating a completely new repo.
