I've seen numerous people asking numerous times in the same thread on how to use OASVN to update to the latest release. So I figured I would go ahead and make my first contribution to help everyone out.
1. Download OASVN 'AND' 7Zipper from the Play Store
2. Open OASVN
3. Click "Add Repository"
4. Under "Name" feel free to type whatever you want your repository to be called
5. Under "Repository URL" enter: http://evo-4g-lte-sense5-port.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
6. Under "Local Folder" you will see something like "/storage/sdcard0/OASVNlite/"Leaving that input will make your internal storage the primary download location for the trunk/checkout/ROM files (whatever you would like to consider those files to be called). Keep in mind: The files can get pretty heavy (big in size...) and take up a lot of space. Feel free to change that location if you want.
7. Click "Save"
8. Click your repository
9. Click "Checkout" and let the app do what it does (downloads the files you need)NOTE: IT IS BEST TO BE ON WiFi OR A STABLE 4G CONNECTION!
You will see "Operation in progress, please wait..." and "Performing Checkout!!!"
This can take a very long time depending on your connection speed.
10. Notice that your "Revision" changed from "0" to what should be the latest release/revision from googlecode and is ready to zipped up.
11. Get to the menu on the top right and click "Export Local Copy"
12. Decide where you would like to export the copy that you'd like to zip up and flash.Do NOT use your "Local Folder" unless you would like a migraine. You can use that folder ONLY if you export the copy to a different folder in that location. For example: "/storage/sdcard0/OASCNlite/r98" or whatever folder name you desire.
I use my external Class 10, 32gb SD Card by using "/sdcard2/*desired-name*" and have it saved there.
Also, since my OCD gets the best of me at times, I create a new folder for each export and save it as the revision number. I'm pretty sure you can use the same export folder over and over but I've never done so. I like to be super neat and really messy (don't ask please... thanks).
NOTE: Using your internal SD Card may save you a bit of time.
13. A "success" message should prompt briefly after the export has completed and your files will be where you directed them.
14. Open up 7Zipper and tap the screen.
15. Click "System Folder" and head to the location of your exported copy. For example: "/storage/sdcard0/OASVNlite/r98/"
16. Press the green check-mark button near the top of 7ZipperAND select ONLY THESE FILES/FOLDERS!
1. data
2. kernel
3. META-INF
4. system
5. boot.imgTHEN click the button underneath the red "X" to the right of where the green check-mark was (it looks like an image of a pull-down menu which is what it actually does... pulls down a menu).
17. Click "Create Zip"
18. Enter whatever name you'd like to call your .zip file that you will be flashing/installing.
19. Select your "Compress Level" that says "Default" by default (imagine that...)NOTE: IT IS BEST TO USE THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE COMPRESSION LEVEL! WHY!? I HAVE NO IDEA! THAT'S JUST WHAT I WAS TOLD SO THAT IS WHAT I DO! Lol. Using your Internal SD Card may save you a bit of time but if you didn't export your local copy to your internal SD Card then your S.O.L. since it'll save the .zip in the same folder that you selected your exported copy files/folders.
LET 7ZIPPER DO WHAT IT DOES! I haven't had any problems letting it run in the background while doing other things but of course you will notice a slight decrease in performance.
20. Reboot into your Recovery and flash the .zip that you just created.
SUCCESS! Hopefully.
I've seen a script you can use that was made by one of the members of the Alliance Dev Team working on the s5port. I'm not 100% who everyone was that incorporated that so if you want credit please send me a PM and I'll edit this post with proper credentials. I believe it was il duce though.
MAKE SURE YOU'RE ON A GOOD CONNECTION! WiFi preferred.
3G will work but it will take forever. Forever isn't an exaggeration either.
LTE will work but you risk losing connection.
Open up Terminal app
Type su
Type s5port
let Terminal do its thing
NOTE: This process will take some time no matter what you do. Just let it do its thing. It downloads the files it needs and then zips them up for you to flash. This is a hassle-free method, if you will. I believe that's about it.
Good looking out
BTW first

Never mind flashed the 2nd time and it seems Im up and running. Thank.:good:
Just tried this over my home wifi, says I have rev109. When I went in to my system folder through 7Zipper I didn't see a data folder or the boot.img - is that normal?
EDIT: I went ahead and zipped up what I had just to see what would happen, and I definitely must have done something wrong because the finished zip is only 105mb.

Hey, this happened to me too. It is probably because your download failed or you ran out of space on your internal SD card. I went into Settings and then Storage and clicked on "Misc" under Internal storage and deleted the OASVN files, redownloaded, and it worked. Give that a shot!
I also followed all instructions and it was also missing the boot.img. I just downloaded the file directly and zipped it all up and all was fine.

Thanks for your help. I tried again from scratch and basically got the same thing - no data and no boot.img. I have enough room on internal storage and have lots on my SD card, so I know space isn't the issue.
Maybe this is my phone's way of telling me I should just wait till it's released as a flashable zip, haha.
i'm getting the same thing, only a 108ish mb zip.. tried a couple times..
If you're not getting all of the files that means your download wasn't 100% successful. Happens a lot. Just need to Update or do another checkout.

Run the cleanup option on OASVN and try it all over again. Just be sure to have it plugged in and connected with a good connection... It takes a while. I got it to work for me.

Download needs to complete. Make sure you're in a stable WiFi or LTE area. Do what the post above you says or you can do update, or you can delete working copy and checkout again.

Best to save a lot of time by making sure all of the files have downloaded before performing the export of the local copy. I haven't used OASVN in quite some time since I just got my replacement and haven't done any S-OFF yet so I can't test to see if there's just an issue with the program or anything... Worked fine every time I used it last month though.

CHEERS
Geniusdog254 Posted the exact lines in the build prop that needed to be changed. This is a pretty common fix for problems like this between versions of Android. There was some concern however that you may miss some of the newer apps released only for Froyo. I wrote some simple scripts that will fix this for us.
Simply: One puts the Froyo build.prop on your phone. The other puts the modded build.prop on your phone.
Prerequisites
YOU MUST HAVE GSCRIPT INSTALLED
YOU MUST HAVE BUSYBOX INSTALLED
(IF YOU ARE USING PAULS FROYO ROM FROM HERE
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686631
IT DOES NOT HAVE BUSYBOX INSTALLED
Also--
There are now 2 downloads.
One will reboot your phone automatically
One will not!
(I recommend this one for anyone that has problems, or doesn't know ADB well.)
Installation
Code:
Download the attached .zip file
Place the "buildprop" folder in the root of your sdcard
Place both "Normal_Froyo.sh" and "Modded_Froyo" files in the gscript folder on your sdcard
Code:
Open Gscript
Press menu and select Add Script
Press Load File button
Select Normal_Froyo file
Press Save button at bottom
Repeat for Modded_Froyo file
After that all you have to do is open gscript and select which one to run.
Normal_Froyo will give you stock froyo build.prop and let you see froyo only apps
Modded_Froyo will give you the market fix build.prop
You can also create shortcuts directly on your homescreen for each script if you wish
-----------------------------------------------
I've decided to skip the update.zip, I've found no way to copy the scripts to the gscript folder on the sdcard this way.
I'm going for an app instead.
P.S. I've never written an app before, java looks like russian to me lol. So if anyone has any tips, or knows any good tut's let PM me and let me know.
------------------------------------------------
fixed no buildprop folder
added NON-autoreboot download.
buildprop switcher v0.3.zip ORIGINAL
buildprop_switcher_no_rebootv0.3.zip NO REBOOT
buildprop swticher v0.3.1.zip DOWNLOAD THIS ONE
When the file is unzipped, there are 4 files - No Buildprop folder. Now I get the part about putting the two .sh files into Gscript folder.
Do I make another folder called buildprop and put build.2.1 and build.2.2 inside?
OR
Do I put build.2.1 and build.2.2 onto the root of the SDCARD?

So sorry lol Didn't notice until I was making the update.zip that I didn't put the other files in a folder IN the zip. Just make a folder on your sdcard called buildprop. and put them in there.

Right.. the checkin service runs on each reboot. So it is not needed.
Worked just fine, but I did have to do the checkin thing. Possibly had poor signal but checkin hadn't done on reboot. Worked fine after that...

Can the checkin method be used, instead of rebooting? I'd much rather switch back and forth via checkin rather than having to reboot.
Thanks.

The reboot is built into the script. On my phone, if I checkin, the apps still don't show till I reboot. But show if I only reboot. If checkin alone works for you though, you can remove the reboot command from the script.
I'm not sure what happened, but after following the instructions exactly, my phone crapped. It got as far as the first nexus logo (non-animated), then the buttons lit up and I got a black screen. And that's how it stayed.
Any ideas?
This worked great for me I also solved my (unrelated) prob with SlideIt by forcing the dictionary to save in the settings, so I'm no longer bothered about losing shortcuts stuff on a reboot.
Dandy!!
tested again with a second n1. works perfect! automated checkin works perfect.
Can you please post what changed in the .prop file.
Also you didn't add the video codecs in the "new" prop file

The only thing I changed from the stock to the "modded" build.prop were these 2 lines
from this
ro.build.description=passion-user 2.2 FRF50 38042 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2/FRF50/38042:user/release-keys
to this
ro.build.description=passion-user 2.1-update1 ERE27 24178 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.1-update1/ERE27/24178:user/release-keys
I didn't add anything else to these. If you would like other things added to the build.prop files. You are welcome to edit them yourselves, or let me know what things you want changed, and I can include them.
I can make it user friendly. With descriptions for each modded line, then you can simply un-comment the options that you want.
PS: I thought I had the flashable update ready, but the update-script is giving me problems. ANYONE that wants to help please let me know. I'd really like to get this out to everyone.

To anyone that can't get thier phone to boot all the way after doing this
Its not a big deal. Your phone booted. But the build.prop didn't get copied before the reboot.
If you did a nandroid before you tried it. Restore that!
If you didn't, OR you know how to use adb. Do this
Code:
adb remount
adb push [COLOR="red"]/path/to/build.2.1(or)build.2.2[/COLOR] /system/build.prop
adb reboot
I hope to have this fixed quickly.
ANYONE WHO'S PHONE WILL NOT BOOT AFTERWARDS!
Check and make sure you put the files in the right place.
build.2.2
&
build.2.1
go in
build.prop FOLDER ON YOUR SDCARD
that was the only reason I got the error, i deleted the files off my card when i was testing the flashable update.
If you still get an error. open both files in the gscript folder, and remove or comment out the reboot line. Then tell me what error you get in gscript.
So I did this and am able to see the new apps. When I reboot the phone I cannot see a bunch of old apps in my launcher. I revert to the normal script and reboot again and still cannot see a bunch of my apps. Appbrain says theyre installed and I can open them from there but no widgets or shortcuts for them Any Ideas?

Are those apps moved to the SD by any chance? If so, best bet is to go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Find your launcher, and force stop it. Should work after that.

Nope they're not on SD. I'll try the fc of launcher.
Ok it worked thank you! but my xiia widget still is not back and I'm assuming others. Anything I can do for the widgets?
Ok installed and reinstated the app. Works great thx again.
Update:
Ok after another reboot, apps don't show again. FC the launcher they come back but not the widgets.. Grrrrrr...
inspired by the other thread with the icon... I made a new one and attached the autorun... just unzip to your root of your sd card and make them hidden.. unattach and attach and viola!
Any idea why the Streak would be erasing the "autorun.inf" file each time I connect it? The "DellStreak.ico" is still on the root but the inf file gets wiped each time I connect it and it's driving me crazy.
I use these icons on all my devices to identify them visually and this is the only one that's giving me this problem

no clue why this is happening to yours... did you try making the autorun.inf read-only?
I read somewhere here in the forum, although not here in the Streak threads that Froyo by default deletes and autorun.inf files it finds on either the internal or external sd cards.... any truth to that or a workaround for it?

Well that's the very point of my question.... the autorun.inf file I put on the root of the SD card gets erased. My question earlier was how do I keep this from happening.
I create an autorun.inf file that says:
[autorun]
icon=.\DellStreak.ico (this is what's in the file if I put a hidden icon on the root of the SD card)
or
[autorun]
icon=autorun\DellStreak (this is what's in the file if I put the hidden icon within a folder that's called "autorun" on the root of the file)
Either way, the icon is still there in the root of the SD card, so is the "Autorun" folder with another DellStreak.ico icon inside of it, and no matter which approach I take, when I disconnect the Streak and reconnect it, the autorun.inf file has been erased. Thus that leaves Windows without a directory command to look for the icon when it gets connected to the computer.
I hope I haven't lost you in what I'm doing. What I am doing is correct, well at least it's correct for any other device I connect to any other PC I have ever used.
I have flash drives, sd chips, external hard drives, and I have these files in all of them so that when I am looking at all the drives on the My Computer page, I see the icon associated with that drive, not just a generic icon and a letter.
Aight I think I got it to work now....
Disconnect the Streak from the computer and uncheck USB debugging.
Reconnect to the computer and places the files on the SD of the Streak like you want them, read-only and hidden. Mount and unmount from the computer a couple times to make sure you .inf file is correct and you are seeing the icon by the drive letter.
After a couple of successful attempts I got brave and went back and rechecked USB debugging and the file was still on the SD after a couple of disconnects.
I don't know enough about what's going on for this process to have worked, I just got lucky
Edit: no longer working this morning, the autorun is once again gone from the SD card (this is driving me crazy, I see no good reason for this sort of programming)
I found a fix on XDA forums right here. Instead of 'asia' I input north-american into the gps.conf file. For those of you that don't want tolook for the file, I have supplied the gps.conf file for you to download right here. Post responses with how well this works. Works 100% of the time for me nearly instant locks on all gingerbread ROM's I put on my device.
If you are downloading my file, simply use adb to push it to /system/etc/ and you are golden.
**Warning|Disclaimer|Blah Blah**
If you brick your phone I am not responsible ... yadda yadda, ya'll know the drill.
thank you! that did solve the problems i've been having with the latest cm builds.
Wow! Thank you so much! I went from a 2+ minute lock to a <20 second lock.
I did find a method to make this adjustment simpler. I used root explorer, available in the market, then simply copied your 'gps.text' file to system/etc. I then deleted the gps.conf file and renamed gps.text to gps.conf. Finally, I rebooted and opened maps, enabled gps, and waited for a lock. Then, after I was locked I did one final reboot and behold, locked in less than 20 seconds.
So, maybe not simpler but it can all be done without adb, straight from the phone.
Nevertheless, thank you, thank you, annnnnd thank you!

Did you guys use his file or make your own? Mine already said North America but was missing the extra servers.
skulnik, is your phone s-off? I can never make that kind of change with root explorer. It acts like it did something, but it doesn't. Same with ADB if the phone is on.
I read on another thread that apparently if you are s-off, you need to go into recovery, mount system and then use adb to push the files.
I am not sure this worked for me though, once I got the file in there, nothing much changed. I used the old fix which involved putting the cm6 gpslib.so file into the system/etc folder. Using both, I seemed to get a quick lock.
I made flashable fix for myself that includes both fixes and the wifi fix (just in case) and things seem better on both CM7 and the xm rom based on CM7.
The extra servers is what made the difference for me. Glad that this is helping. I stopped using cm7 for the longest time because GPS wouldn't lock for me. I loaded the xm7 and is was so awesome I just HAD to find something to make GPS work because I rely on it all the time. Downtown San Antonio is very easy for me to get lost in and MapQuest was never reliable.

I used a different file after reading his method. However same concept of replacing the config file. I'm just rooted without s off. Another method to replace the file is to mount via clockwork and use android commander to push the file. FYI after this i now I get an accurate gps lock in under 10 seconds.

Just want to make sure i get the steps right, all i have to do is unzip the .zip file, put gps.conf in platform-tools folder for android sdk, run adb and type "adb push gps.conf /system/etc/" right? It's been a while since i did any sort of work with adb, so i don't want any major goof-up.

You could do that or a more foul proof method would be to use android commander. Just mount the system in clockwork plug your phone in "assuming you already have adb, jdk etc. Installed" and push it that way. Android commander is pretty much a gui for adb... also could push it in terminal emulator if you were feeling adventurus. hope this helps. Android commander is most likely going to be the safest method for you. That way you can easily do a backup of the file. Though I would do a nandroid backup just to be safe.

Android commander is most likely going to be the safest method for you. That way you can easily do a backup of the file. Though I would do a nandroid backup just to be safe.

Haha thanks, definitely gonna give Android commander a try. And definitely gonna remember that nandroid backup (lol, learned it the hard way today).

hmm can't imagine why it would be different for you. Did you push the correct GPS file for your location & confirm that it took the change /view the file after you pushed the file/rebooted your phone?
Yeah, took the midwest file & moved it to the system/etc folder & removed the old file., did it all w/ root explorer rebooted the phone & everything... got the same performance as I did before, 2 min or so for a lock. Then consecutive, immediate locks as long as I didn't leave the maps app alone for too long.. @ one point I wound up using gpsfix to actually get a damn lock, it was so bad....
I'll just have to settle for slow locks.

Hmm. I wonder if it's a hardware or driver problem. One thing I did want to note; I had tried using the latest version of root explorer to replace the file, mounting the system as write, etc prior to using adb. The result showed the file as being replaced however after rebooting to confirm changes the file was back to default. It might be worth double checking the file to confirm that the replacement actually took. If not possibly mount the system in clockwork and push the file using adb.
Hmmmmm, good call, I DID make sure to mount the system as r/w as opposed to r/o but I didn't chk to see if the file got overwritten by the system on restart (if I'm understanding you correctly?).
I'll try it again, this time using adb...

Alright guys, I'm making a collection of flashable zips that I make for everyone as of now so then we don't have any issues. Instead of mirroring my files, please just link whoever needs them here. Anyway, lets begin listing files.
Files:
http://goo-inside.me/apps/Indirect/Nook_tablet/Flashable_Zips
(A specific zip of Gapps is listed there for now but there will be more as development continues.) I'll probably add apps to another directory as of now. But it's just gapps.
Dead links
Hey indirect, thanks for the post/links.
I'm sure These will come up as available eventually but in the mean time what are they for? Is this simply gapps of various version numbers?
Wow
nice, what is inside the zip
specifically?

did not read you post
as rjin9673 pointed out.

Does anyone have a working (internal) boot.img? I've been trying to assemble one for CM7 but not having any luck, just looking for something to compare hex with.

Goo-Inside.me is a crappy file host. They make you wait and profit off your download, which is great for a mirror. I'm sending you a PM.

Make you wait? I've not had to wait once when downloading stuff from him. IF you need somewhere to stick a few bits and pieces just let me know, I'll happily give you a little bit of web space.
I created this flashable zip today. Link Gone
it includes apps I describe in the video I am about to upload, to name a few, facebook, twitter, two angry birds you cant get on market, Es File Explorer, NT Highjack, NT Urooter. It was my first attempt at making a flashable zip, let me know what can be done to make it better. oh well. bring the criticism ;P
now everyone dont go crashing my public drop box links again. They already put me on a 3 day suspension before, next time could be a month, and that would mean more downloading from filfactory and sites like that!
update: testing Done.

that's because he just started using Goo-Inside.me. Look what happens when you link an individual file from that site and not a full folder.

Mr. Wertz and Mr. Outler, Thank U for all the files I need in one place. Also Mr. Wertz your videos make me believe I just might be able to root following Indirect's amazing method. Thank U. You all are buzz names at my school.
AlbertCWMTest.zip
I tested it and it looks good. I can't find NT Urooter on my apps screen, but do see all the others. Hopefully soon we'll be able to mount the SD card as I had to copy your file to the internal storage to load it.
Thanks,
SK
edit: I found it, guess I need new glasses. Everything looks and worked great.
which school? will you rename your library after me?
AlbertCWMTest.zip
Angry Bird FC , but all the others are working fine. Since I don't play it, not a biggie to me. If you can tell me where and what logs you want, I can send them.

Hi Mr. Wertz, Unfortunately it's a Catholic school, so unless you're a saint, which in my opinion you all are for helping others, (This goes out to lavero as well, super patient with newbies), anywho, I doubt if I can get them to rename our library.

Here is a script I made(see bottom for sources) today for using my SD card as Google Music storage. I'm currently on "Beans" but I'm pretty certain this will work with any TW based ROMs. If not just leave a comment or pm me and I'll fix another script for the ROM of choice. CM and AOSP ROMs should not work at the moment, but tonight I will update a script for AOSP.
Note:
I have tried directory bind or whatever the tool was called but it will not work due to Google Music saving the music in the data/data area. But nonetheless, this is an option for those that use Google Music and I'll be updating this script to bypass all the steps below soon and to do other things as well. Enjoy
Disclaimer:
As always, this script requires root and it will modify your data/data partition, and when doing anything that requires "root" privileges, there is a chance of doing harm to your device. Therefore, I will not be held responsible for anything that may happen to your device. Follow the steps provided and do not alter any files and all should go as described.
Prerequisite:
Google Play Music
Script Manager
GMusic Script v1.0
Installation:
**This script will remove all music that Google Music has previously downloaded in the data/data directory. Depending on your library size will determine how long the delete process is(approx 1-5 minutes). After the first time running, you will no longer have to wait upon boot and all will go as intended.
1. Download the script and save to your SD Card. It doesn't matter where but I suggest the SD Card and do NOT alter/delete/move this file once you have everything set up.
2. Open script manager and navigate to the script. Open as Script/Executable and make sure you tick root and boot, then save.
3. Reboot device.
4. Once booted up, script manager will ask for root privs. There will be a box to "ask again" within the SU PopUp. Un-tick this box so you won't see it anymore. Then grant root privs.(I got two pop ups so do the same for both)
5. Go to choose on device music and check available space. You should see the increase in size.
6. Redownload your music and enjoy.
**Your music will now be saved in "Music/Google" on your SD Card.**

Better give credit where credit is due. I've seen this in another thread and you weren't the poster.
Did you invent the script? You said "various sources" so I'm assuming you used other's work. All I'm saying is you better credit and link to them in the OP -- or else you'll feel the heat.

lol ok..
Well let's see, the script was wrote by me.. yes, I looked at 2 or 3 threads on my phone last night and today, I wrote the script based on those viewings.. idk if you have tried to link like 3 different links together on tapatalk but I didnt have the time.. I was at work and I just got home from a 24 hour shift. I stated that I was gonna do something else to the thing this evening(bout to start) and I was gonna post the links when I got home. lol chill for a sec and I know about credit man
Also, threads that I read on this issue are broken, as in.. they do not work anymore.
If you know about credit, you wouldn't have posted until it was linked. I only called you out because I remember you doing a similar thing in an X2 thread years ago. Battery percentage? Ring a bell? I can find the thread if you'd like.

Everyone who creates something on XDA is always in a rush to get it to the community
It is only natural to want to share and get it out there for all to enjoy
However if you used some of the work even from the broken threads
you should post links to them as well
Thank you for your contribution
Try to get the rest of those credits in there
Thank you for your cooperation

Does this still work and if so can I get a copy of the script
