I have looked everywhere for the file. I cant us the Xutility tool as i ma on ubuntu. my emulater wont run so thats out of the question.
I really need a stock deodexed 4.1.26 rom so that I can mod and them it to my liking.
is there anyone out there with a cwm flashable zip or a completely wiped recovery backup that i may use to install on my atrix and do my theming and modding on?
Thanks a bunch in advance.
Ok.........Bump......bump...
I am not trying to be rude by anymeans when i make this statement, however i am finding the atrix community to not be very helpful. my previous devices communities are so much more tight knit and more than willing to respond to even the dumbest question and to help all members out no matter what.
Since i have been a member of this community i have gotten very little assistance with things that i thought would be simple to answer and give feedback on that i am really actually disgusted.
I am not interested in changing to a custom rom as i havent found one that i like and really just want to theme and mode my stock 4.1.26.... can someone give me a hand in this or did i just happen to get the wrong device and join the wrong communtity?
I'm interested in WRITING my own custom ROM, not cooking it. A while ago I saw a thread about someone giving us a piece of advice with everything I needed to learn to write my own custom ROM because he hated the Android Kitchen Moniker (I hate it too). Can someone give me pointers to write my ROM, not just "cook" it? Perhaps anyone knows what's the thread I'm talking about?
I hope I'm not posting this in the wrong forum, but i'm posting here because i think i am in the right place.. If not mods please move this to appropriate forum..
So I'm on the nexus s 4g and i'm feeling like i'm ready to get into porting and then development.. I really just need help understanding eclipse and how to port in general.. I know eclipse is great for developement and I just installed the adt and the sdks through eclipse and I need to know how to set this up so I can run a logcat through adb so I can see why my port isn't fully booting.. I'm stuck at the boot animation.. I've tried reading some guides but because i'm still a noob i feel like there's always something i'm missing.. I was hoping someone here would be so kind as to help run me through on getting this set up and helping me understand the fundementals..
there are many that know more than me, but i can try to help a little bit...
first off, im going to assume you are porting roms, not apps, because of how you have things worded i was a bit confused at first.
now, eclipse is an amazing IDE, but when it comes to porting android roms from device to device its not going to be much (if any at all) help to you. eclipse is great for application development, and building a full, ready to install android package (apk) for pushing to the market or side-loaded. (installed on data partition)
there dont tend to be many guides or strait line ways do do things. it all comes out of experience and good problem solving skills. learn to read your logcats, understand what they are saying. you will get it!
im more of a source built kind-of-guy, and never did any porting of pre-compiled roms. but i know http://freeyourandroid.com/ is a great resource for getting started with just that.
please also think about looking into the android build system, its complicated, but you will get it eventually, and it will teach you how a rom really works, and is really built, and it gives you complete control to do anything you want.
hope this was a little help.

the only reason i was setting up eclipse for this was because it was to my understanding it had the tools needed to get adb to produce a logcat, i've delt with apps before.. I made myself a lil launcher for miui and a couple others, but i just have no idea on how to do anything with adb and gettings log cats.. I do appreciate your response and i will take a look at that website.

NOT BLACKHAT WITH ANDROID. im genuinely asking for help because i dont know where to start. please dont blow me up. thank you
