==================
USBKEY root directory structure for automated restoring/installation
==================
0) this rom can make use of a USB key to restore you prefs and install any provided apk
1) prepare your USB key with desired files, following this naming/structure convention:

USB KEY ROOT FOLDER:

  • data.tar
    • can be created with the provided script backup_restore_scripts.zip
    • import and then run data_backup.sh using rom toolbox, and with your USB key plugged in.
    • (edit data.tar (the raw backup made by data_backup.sh) to only contain desired folders) (useful for XBMC/KODI/TVMC/SPMC add-ons and settings restore)



  • /preinstall/mynamedoesnotmatter.apk
  • /preinstall/anynameaswell.apk
  • /preinstall/etc....apk
    • put all the apk you want to have installed during 1st boot



  • /settings/com.android.settings_preferences.xml
  • /settings/accounts.db
  • /settings/wpa_supplicant.conf


WHERE:
"data.tar" is your backup TAR file of "/sdcard/Android/data/" application folders (XBMC/KODI for example), can be created with the provided script backup_restore_scripts.zip
"preinstall" folder contains the APKs you would like to have installed on 1st boot
"settings" folder contains your desired preferences files (UI, accounts & Wifi are supported at the moment, see above naming requirements) 

==================
THESE IMGs ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR "STARTUP MODE"
==================
PHOENIXCARD CRASHES WHEN USING THIS MODE WITH ALL MY IMGs
TO FIX YOUR IMAGE FOR STARTUP MODE (BOOT FROM SD)
IN 3 STEPS:
Use imgRePacker_205 :
1) drag, "draco_aw80_dovless_1.09.img" on "imgRePacker.exe".
2) delete ROM draco_aw80_dovless_1.09.img.
3) drop your folder "draco_aw80_dovless_1.09.img.dump" on "imgRePacker.exe".

  • If rom still does not boot from SDCard,
  • rebuild and image, reflash it to sdcard and try again,


2nd try worked for 2 users.

If problems with your SDCARD:
format it using - "HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool 2.2.3" (free tool, google it), then try again.
