HOWTO: Get your rom working with GooManager

The server side changes are in place now to allow auto-updating of your rom to users that have the goo.im app installed.  We are testing internally and getting the app-changes ready to push in an update coming within the next few days.  Those of you who would like to get your roms prepared for the new system can do so by making the following changes.

So you want to get your rom working with the GooManager app's auto updating system?  Our website will scan new and changed files for a couple fields in the rom's build.prop. 

Required fields: 

  • ro.goo.developerid (this is your username on the website)
  • ro.goo.rom (a title for your rom that is unique from other roms)
  • ro.goo.version (a numerical value for the rom version)

Example values:

  • ro.goo.developerid=s0updev
  • ro.goo.rom=CM9tenderloin
  • ro.goo.version=2

So lets say you wanted to update our example to the next version, you would just bump up the version number so it would look something like this:

Updated Values:

  • ro.goo.developerid=s0updev
  • ro.goo.rom=CM9tenderloin
  • ro.goo.version=3

Examples of what our developers have done to get their roms automatically working with goo-inside.me:

Simple shellscript to insert updater support into your roms:

Gooifyer!

After updating, please allow up to an hour for the files to be mirrored and pushing via the app.  Generally it will be much quicker but this is not always the case!
