[Q] Download only the changes on each update? - Paranoid Android Q&A

I want to know if there is any app or feature that allows to only download the updated changes of each build so we do not have to download the full file, most likely for betas. When i was a CM user they had a tool called CyanDelta i think.
So any relative in PA?

We do not have deltas at this time
#stayparanoid

Hoping to have it soon!

Not really a big deal considering we only release once a week

A few questions about the new aosp update

Here it is :
1. How exactly are updates pushed to aosp? Are they pushed only when they announce a release like the new 4.0.4? Looking at this page https://android-review.googlesource.com/ it appears the updates are in real time but why is it that we are waiting for 4.0.4?
2. Let's say I build from the latest aosp now including the proprietary drivers specific to my nexus device. Is the result exactly the same as factory ota image? Or does Google make some small specific changes specific to devices?
3. Why is it that non nexus devices that get ICS unofficial roms even after the official release from the manufacturer still lack some functionally? Why is it not possible to use the proprietary libraries and drivers from the official update?
4. Does this page https://android-review.googlesource.com/ include all the changes the Google makes to aosp? What are the important ones compared to 4.0.3?
5. How do rom developers like teamkang or gummy etc port their 4.0.3 roms to 4.0.4? Do they have to add their extra code manually to each file or do code management tools like git take care of everything?
Sorry about the long questions I'm just really curious.
Thanks!

1. All Nexus OS versions are AOSP. We are waiting for the OTA because Google only sends the update to a few people at a time, because sending it to everyone all at once would make their servers very unhappy.
2. You'd just be missing the radio I believe.
3. The proprietary stuff is for their skinned OS versions, and is not necessarily usable for vanilla Android.
4 and 5 are beyond me :/

thanks. you misunderstood my first question though. I know that nexus images are based off aosp. What I meant is that the changes on android gerrit review system are public and in real time. So why is it that a release like 4.0.4 is a big deal?

Not the best place to ask this question but I think if you're on yajuko and you have stock bootloader (not cwm) then you may be able to get ota but you'll lose root.
4.0.4 ota is compiled by google from it's internal tree.
What you see in gerrit is the reviewing process for the master branch (and a few others), where everyone can submit, which should be updated (merged) with google internal tree everytime a ota/source gets released.

Because those sources are actually not released until google starts the ota update. They develop behind closed doors then release all new code at once with the ota. Some people dont like this but i dont think it matters prrsonally.

5. Github has a diff function that can compare any two files and even merge the code together. So the devs likely use diff to check all new code and merge.
4. You can look thru all the commits to actually see the newest code changes to see whats important etc.

so Gerrit commits are just a very small percentage of all the changes, right?
and does that mean that ota updates may be (slightly) different from aosp compiles?
and that they are no changes to aosp between releases?
thanks!

gerrit commits to the master branch are most of time submitted by people working outside of google.
yes, compiling from the master branch of aosp is slightly diferent than from compiling through release tags (4.0.3_r1, 4.0.4_r1.1).
tagged releases are the same as an OTA, except it doesn't have radio/bootloader images, since they're binaries. they don't change, ever. now the builds compiled from aosp master branch do change, even if it is only under the hood changes.

[ROM][JB] Team EOS 3 *JELLYBEAN* Nightlies - Maguro

Team EOS​JB 4.1.1 Maguro​NIGHTLIES​
Continuing on from the success of the EOS ICS roms, we present to you EOS3, based on JELLYBEAN!
It is the goal of Team EOS to develop and maintain the highest performing and most stable AOSP based rom for an array of platforms. For the latest news on Team EOS releases make sure you follow @teameos on twitter and on IRC on Freenode in #teameos.

A quick note on Nightlies: NIGHTLIES ARE DEVELOPMENT BUILDS. They are automatically generated every now and then, and represent the compilation of the latest commits to the code repository. While every effort is made ensure that the commits that are accepted are stable and do not have a negative impact to the overall performance and function of the builds it is not possible to test every aspect of a commits impact to the overall repo prior to it’s inclusion in a given build. As a result it is entirely possible that instabilities may be introduced as a result of a given days commits. That is the nature of the nightly system, and the risk that is taken using the latest code changes to the project.
EOS is an AOSP based rom. It is developed and maintained by Team EOS and is the culmination of our own in house development efforts.
Team EOS Nightly builds: http://goo-inside.me/devs/teameos/roms/eos3/nightlies/maguro/
G-Apps Package
Because this is an AOSP based rom Google Apps are not included in the base rom. To install Google Apps please flash the following package after installing the base rom:
Temporary Gapps package gapps

Features:
Because these are nightly builds the included features are constantly evolving, we do not provide a change log manually. Instead please see the changes on jenkins for your build.
For the most up to date and comprehensive listing of the changes included in this rom please visit http://review.teameos.org
Kernel:
Kernel Note: This rom is currently using the stock kernel, so you can find the sources from aosp.

Installation Notes:
These builds are designed to be installed from your favorite recovery.
Perform a full wipe (read Factory Reset) prior to installing this over ANY ICS or JB based rom.
BUGS!
If you find strange or otherwise unexplained errors please report them here: https://bugs.teameos.org/ Please include logcats and as thorough a description of the issue and what lead up to the issue as possible. With out this we will be unable to track down these errors.

[MOD] NFC with Screen Locked/Off CM10, 10.1 & 10.2

I haven't posted enough on XDA to be able to reply to the appropriate development forum post, so I decided to post here. I'm running CM10 on a Sprint Galaxy Nexus (toroplus), and I had been in need of a way to use NFC while the screen was locked, but couldn't find one for the latest build of CM10. I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709586 but the latest updates only had one for screen off (which is a little less secure IMHO), and when I used it, I would have to turn NFC off and then back on almost every time I used it, which defeated the purpose. I also saw that someone else was having the same issue, so I decided to compile one myself using the latest CM10 source. This was built from source as of 10/31/2012 and has only been tested on the nightly build with the same date. I figured I'd share it with everyone that might be needing the same.
Disclaimers: This requires a rooted phone! This has only been tested on the Sprint Galaxy Nexus running CM10 nightly dated 10/31/2012, but may work with other versions. Do a backup! I'm not responsible for any problems resulting from these files, so backup first!
To install, copy to your SD card. Reboot into recovery. DO A BACKUP! Install the zip from the SD Card. Reboot.
There are two versions I created. One is for when the screen is on, but locked. The other is for when the screen is off.
Update 1/2/2013:
I compiled a version of the screen locked for CM10.1 (Android v4.2.1) for anyone who would like it. I was getting mixed results with the previous file on 10.1. This one is working on my toroplus with the latest CM10.1 nightly. I'll build a screen off version later. I was having some problems with my build VM, so I didn't get to it yet. The new file for CM10.1 is called NFC_Screen_Locked_CM10.1.zip.
Update 1/3/2013:
The CM10.1 version of the screen off version is now posted. File name is NFC_Screen_Off_CM10.1.zip
Update 1/16/2013:
Previous version of NFC_Screen_Off_CM10.1.zip was not working. Should be working now.
Update 1/16/2013:
Added a patch that can be used against CM10 or 10.1 source code to add an option to the settings to switch between screen on, locked, or off NFC. You must build the entire thing from scratch to use this patch. There are logs of guides for building CM. Here's a link to the CM wiki article for toroplus for example. Before executing brunch, copy this file to the root of where you created the repo (the article uses the ~/android/system/ folder for instance) then execute the following two commands:
Code:
tar -xzf nfc-patch.tar.gz
./apply-nfc-patch.sh
Or in the use package manager to untar all of the files (maintaining the directory structure) and then double click and run the apply-nfc-patch.sh file. This will patch all of the necessary files in the build. Then continue with the instructions in the build guide and flash the resulting ROM.
Disclaimer Again: This could break your phone. I'm not responsible for any damages this may cause. This has only been briefly tested on my toroplus with the latest CM10.1 code from the repository.
Credits: Rick C who originally submitted most of this to the CM repository but was rejected.
Update 1/21/2013:
Looks like a recent commit to the repository broke one of the diffs in the patch. Uploaded a new version.
Update 2/13/2013:
Another update to fix an issue with the patch files. I also added a reset script that will do a hard reset for git repos of the affected packages. Don't use this script if you have made any other customizations to the Settings app, NFC app or the frameworks/base code as you will lose them. Just do things in this order:
1) run reset script
2) run repo sync
3) extract tar again
4) run apply script
5) run brunch again
You can use this sequence every time you want to grab the latest code.
If you get errors when running the apply script you can use this command to delete the error files that come up. These files might show up even if the patch works, but the code wasn't exactly what the patch was expecting, but enough to apply anyway.
Code:
find . \( -name \*.orig -o -name \*.rej \) -delete
This set of commands should do the trick for most people to get the latest code, apply the patch and build:
Code:
./reset-nfc-patch-repos.sh
repo sync
tar -xzf nfc-patch.tar.gz
./apply-nfc-patch.sh
source build/envsetup.sh && brunch <your-device-name>
Update 2/27/2013:
Made some fixes to the notes in the previous update based on feedback from mrplowdan.
Update 3/15/2013:
Compiled a new version of the CM10.1 files for those having issues.
Update 10/21/2013:
Added a test version of the screen locked version for CM10.2 now that toroplus has an official CM10.2 nightly. Let me know if there are any issues. I'll add a screen off version when I have some time.
Update 11/19/2013:
Finally getting around to adding a screen off version for CM10.2. The screen locked version has been running well on my toroplus for the last month with no issues.
Has anyone tested this on Maguro?
Just recently got my phone back from service (after 10 weeks) so i'm not re-rooted yet, hence i can not try this on stock myself. Just wanted to give a big thanks to you for creating and developing this this is really a truly great way to make use of the nfc and the way it should have been done from the very beginning. I.ex if your out running, listening to music and for some reason need to pause your music, just swipe a previosly attached nfc-tag on your sleve over your pocket with the phone in. And again to start music. Awsome work, thank you!

It may work on Maguro as long as you're using a fairly recent version of CM10. If I knew anyone with a device, I'd test it myself. It's fairly low risk to test. It only replaces a single file. It's the Nfc.apk in the /system/app/ folder. You could always rename your existing file; install this one; and then reboot and test it out. Also, if you're wary of the zip itself, you can just extract the Nfc.apk and copy it to your /system/app/ folder manually, just don't forget to reboot. Then if it breaks you can just delete the new one and rename the old one back. You could also just backup everything; install the zip; and just restore the backup if anything breaks. Anyway if you decide to be adventurous, let us know how it goes. I'll keep this thread updated if CM makes any other changes that break it again. I use it often, so I'll likely find out pretty quickly. Hopefully, they'll add this as a setting in CM10 some day.

could i use it on every rom cm based?
It depends on how many modifications were made by the mod around NFC, if any. Also depends on when the last time was that they merged their code with CM. In theory it should work with most CM based mods. You can always try it out as I mentioned above and revert if it breaks. And post here with your results if you try it, so others can benefit.

can it be included in cm10.1?
I was just wondering, can't this be somehow merged with stock cm10.1? Add checkboxes in the settings.apk, lots of warnings when enabling it and people who know can use it.
nice work btw

Yes, actually I've been wanting to do this for a while, but I never seem to have the time to dig into the settings UI and how to read that setting. If you or someone else would be willing to create the settings piece and tell me how to access the setting that you create, I'd be happy to alter the NFC service to look at those settings. Ideally there should be a preference with an integer value of 1 for screen off, 2 for screen on but locked, and 3 for screen on and unlocked (default) as that's the value that the service expects currently.
First of all i would like to thank you posting this, just what I was looking for.
Im running one of the latest cm10.1 nightlies (jan 1st or 2nd) and flashed the NFC_Screen_off_CM10.1zip however it doesn't work while the screen is off, though it does work when the screen is on and the phone is locked. I have a Galaxy Nexus (gsm).
When I logcat the phone I don't see NFC being discovered with the screen of but with the screen on and the phone locked I do see that it discovers an NFC event.
Is there anything that can be done about this?
Thanks!

That's odd. I didn't have an NFC tag handy when I built the screen off version, so I assumed the same changes I made in CM10 would work in 10.1 since the screen locked version worked. I'll test it on my device and see if I can figure it out as soon as I get some free time. Thanks for letting me know!

I decided to check the files out myself to try and figure it out and maybe quick fix it myself (which would have saved you the time) by referencing to the 10.0 apk's however I found out they differ a lot more from eachother than I expected so it was a bit too much for my skillz. I found this out using a comparison tool and while I was at it I compared the 10.1 screen lock and 10.1 screen off versions. According to my program they are exactly identical in either file structure as in file contents so I'm guessing something must have gone wrong with renaming or I just don't know how to use the tool? I'm just mentioning this as something I came upon, not to ***** or anything! I really appreciate the work you did!
Anyway.. I had some fun figuring things out and learning about decoding apk's and all of that. Thanks for all the hard word so far and I'll just wait patiently upon the new screen-off version.
The screen off one works perfectly for the Toro running the last stable 4.1.2 liquid smooth rom. Awesome work, thanks a million!
Edit: I'm not sure if it makes a difference but I didn't flash it, I pulled the apk from the zip, copied and pasted and reset permissions then restarted.

I did a little digging and found that there was a patch submitted to CM10 to include a switch for this in the settings. However, it was rejected by Steve Kondik and abandoned. I took all of the code and merged it into the latest CM10.1 code and it seems to work. I added a patch to the main post, but you have to compile CM from scratch to use it since it touches some framework components. The good news is it should work on any device that CM supports (that uses the NFC.apk though not devices that use NfcNci.apk like the Nexus 4) and should work on both CM10 and 10.1 in most cases.
The patch is basically just a few diff files and a bash script to automate the patching. If anyone is feeling adventurous, feel free to experiment with it. I can't promise it will work for you, but it's fun to try and learn a bit about building CM source code in the process. Basic directions are in the original post. As always I take no responsibility for anything it might break, but I'll be happy to try to troubleshoot if I can. Enjoy!
Thanks for all your effort.
Unfortunately it doesn't work on the nexus 4 but after some googling I found a working version for the nexus 4 on the forums here on xda. Im guessing there's a difference in chips or something...

Thanks for pointing that out. I clarified the previous post a bit. I should have said it should work with any devices that use Nfc.apk. Newer devices that use NfcNci.apk will not work with the patch.

[DEV][OTA] OmniROM Galaxy 551/Callisto Port [OmniARMv6]

OmniROM Galaxy 551/Callisto port [OmniARMv6]
Current port status: beta - may not be suitable for daily use. For experienced users only.
Latest Google Apps package: not yet available
Pre-requisites:
ClockworkMod or TWRP recovery

ROM is very smooth and fast. Works much faster than CM11.
Very thanks

@psyke83 omni project has been abanded ? after bunch of ota failed ota disappeared from Jenkins. This rom is smooth and fast except few problems like camera,keyboard back light and lock screen resize.
Last builds (also for other devices) are dated June 15. And the last Android version was 4.4.3. Is it just a build process that got stuck, or is it more serious?
Links are down!
Hey man,
Thank you and others in armv6 team for their incredible work. You guys brought CM11 to a number of devices and that's a BIG DEAL.
Since our device is quite old now, I can see why the project died.
Now, the only thing we want is the links of the latest stable (RC) builds of the devices hosted somewhere. I can (at-least) host (CM11 and OMNI) stable builds of callisto in my GDrive.
Anyone knows what the license for ready-built ROMs is? That is, if the original source goes down, would anyone be allowed to upload a copy?
I'm not thinking about modified images yet - but it'd be easy to make people download something that isn't identical to the original thing, and the md5sum files have also gone - would archive.org be able to help? https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://download.androidarmv6.org/_builds/callisto/* seems to return something at least
Can Someone reupload this?

[ROM][6.0.1] UNOFFICIAL CyanogenMod 13.0

Presenting CM13 unofficial. Built from mostly pure CyanogenMod sources, with a few tweaks that I try to keep updated on my github. This is only possible due to the work of Ziyan and MWisBest.
Instructions
First time flashing CM13 to your toroplus (or coming from another ROM)?
Unlock & install a recovery
Wipe data & cache partitions
Flash CyanogenMod.
Optional: Install the Google Apps addon package.​
Updating from a previous build?
Just install the latest ROM zip. If you had Google Apps installed, they will be reinstalled automatically.​

Short answer: yes. I'm going to try grabbing the relevant code from MWisBest's githib. If it turns out to be too involved for my limited skills, it will have to wait until Ziyan submits the changes to CM.

OK I am going to be on board with testing for sure. I left a post in the now no longer current official thread that I flashed the last official build yesterday and I had perfect 3G to LTE to 3G handoff, rock solid WiFi strength, basically everything seemed to work very well. I am looking forward to seeing how things progress. I haven't been able to keep any of the official CM builds from bootlooping until now. Hopefully you stick with it because I am getting better performance from this device than I have seen in a long while

I should've had a machete to hack through the jungle of build errors from pulling a modified OmniROM device tree into a CyanogenMod build. Looks like the build is rolling now though, with any luck it might just complete successfully - who knows, it might even boot.
The only thing slower around here than me is my poor old computer.
Its kind of ironic that the Galaxy Nexus was the first official LTE device for Sprint and I am only just recently starting to get LTE on a semi regular basis.
@musical_chairs, take your time with your builds. I assure you that they are appreciated. Now that this device is actually getting decent (for Sprint) signal and still has current builds makes it more enjoyable to use than just about any time I can remember....I just miss Imoseyon's Lean kernels. I got GREAT battery on those. They were compiled in the now deceased (I think) CMRemix ROMs but the LTE is definitely a plus
Update: For now, I have stopped working on building CyanogenMod with the DDK 1.9 drivers. I was ending up with a completely unsustainable mess of a device tree, and was still running into build errors. If new drivers are what you want, use FML. I'll focus on keeping the regular CM builds updated for the time being.

I'm following its developements, but haven't had time to try it personally yet.

Thanks for trying anyhow. I'm glad cm11 still has a fighting chance with the GNex, thanks to you, and all the others who are able to help out.
We're all waiting for cm12 to get to a buildable state. In the meantime, I've been working on upgrading my build box. My old machine was just barely capable of building android, the 'new' one isn't new but it was a real beast in its day. Time for a clean build has dropped from a day and a half to two and a half hours. I'm happy...

just curious, how difficult is it to compile roms? Do you need to know how to write your own code or is it over glorified copy and pasting with packages and stuff?

I do a lot of copying and pasting, a lot of reading guides, and a whole lot of google-ing. I don't know how to write my own code, but I have lots of experience with applying patches. Compiling roms is not that hard if you're a Linux user, have a working knowledge of the command line, and have a basic understanding of git. Take away any one of those things and it becomes a whole lot harder.

Yeah i haven't gotten to play with linux, nor do i know what git's are (i think they are large batch's of code posted in plain text?) . always wanted to try but don't have the time.

git is the software the devs use to keep track of changes in the code. Most Android devs have their git repositories on Github, those are probably what you are thinking of. Every little change (called a 'commit') has its own unique hash number. It's pretty amazing, you can look through somebody else's commits and find one that fixes a bug you are working on, or split tens of thousands of changes in half, then in half again, then in half again, etc., and pinpoint the exact commit that causes a bug on your system - though that's more useful in Linux kernel development than in Android.
I don't really have the time either, but it's such a fun hobby...
Using quickboot?
Coming from Vanir. Really like the facility quickboot gives. Anyone "enabled" it? I can't seem actually show the field to turn it on. Settings search finds it, but that's it... Noticed Dev options is hidden also. What's up?
Props for keeping CM11 updated. Really like I can actually use SMS in Hangouts.
I haven't been following the nightly changes since toroplus went dark, but I ran a build today--nothing special, just the latest cm...whatever changes they are. I could post it but don't know if I should make another thread or just link to it in here.
Anything substantial get added to general cm in the last few months?
I tried to run a build of cm12 but it looks like things still aren't ready for building yet, either that or I'm not sure how to switch back and forth between the cm11 repo and cm12 without getting repo update errors.

I got cm12 built and booting for toro for the first time today. I'm trying to get mobile data working on that, then I'll give toroplus a shot. Looks like it shouldn't be too much trouble. Feel free to post any of your builds here, or start your own thread if you prefer.
Here's my cm11 build from yesterday--equivalent to a plain nightly. It's been running fine since I dirty flashed it last night. Md5sum is linked as well and noted below.

Well I got cm12 built and booting on toroplus, unfortunately the RIL is completely borked, so no cell service at all at this point. I'll keep working on that, in the mean time check out the updated cm11 build in the post right above this one.
