PLEASE READ BEFORE INSTALLING
=============================
Before deciding to install the Maru beta on your device, please be aware of the
following:
**Installing Maru will wipe all of your personal data so please back up anything
important!**
You can back up important stuff like photos/videos/text messages/call logs
somewhere off of your device, like your PC or the cloud. There are several apps
available from the Play store that can help you with this--just search "backup".
If you use a custom recovery that supports backups like TWRP, make sure to take
a complete device backup before installing Maru using the update zip.
**DISCLAIMER**: The Maru OS Project authors will not be held responsible for any
loss of data or damage to your device. Keep in mind that installing aftermarket
firmware may void your device's warranty.
IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A CUSTOM RECOVERY
-------------------------------------
Maru OS now has a standard update zip that you can flash with TWRP just
like any other ROM--use that instead of this installer!
INSTALLING
==========
Installing Maru on your device is easy!
Just run the interactive installer and follow along.
Mac
---
Navigate to the unzipped installer folder, right-click (Control + click) "install",
and select Open.
Tip: Depending on your security settings, you may get a dialog that says
"install is from an unidentified developer. Are you sure you want to open it?".
Please select Open. See https://support.apple.com/kb/PH21769?locale=en_US for
more details. We promise we're not malware :)
Linux
-----
Open a terminal, cd to the unzipped installer, and run the installer with:
$ ./install
Windows
-------
First, install the Google USB Driver to communicate with Nexus devices:
1. Enable USB Debugging on your device (see HOW TO ENABLE USB DEBUGGING below)
2. Download the driver from http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
3. Install the driver following the instructions on
http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html#InstallingDriver
NOTE: Step 3 for Windows 7 says "Select 'Devices' in the left pane". If you
don't see 'Devices', look instead for 'Device Manager'.
Then navigate to the unzipped installer folder and double-click "install".
Tip: We have found that installing the Google USB Driver can be very confusing.
You may need to select the driver for your device multiple times before
Windows finally installs it correctly. You may also need to wait while Windows
installs the driver a second time after your device boots into recovery mode.
UNINSTALLING / RESTORING TO FACTORY
===================================
If you've installed Maru and decided you want to get your device back to
the way it was, you can easily re-install your factory image with our
interactive uninstaller.
Grab your device's factory image for the Android version you would like from
https://developers.google.com/android/images and follow along.
NOTE: You will have to enable USB Debugging again even if you already did so for
installing Maru. (You must be a pro at this by now!)
Mac
---
Navigate to the unzipped installer folder, right-click (Control + click) "uninstall",
and select Open.
Tip: Depending on your security settings, you may get a dialog that says
"uninstall is from an unidentified developer. Are you sure you want to open it?".
Please select Open. See https://support.apple.com/kb/PH21769?locale=en_US for
more details. We promise we're not malware :)
Linux
-----
Open a terminal, cd to the unzipped installer, and run the "uninstall.sh" script with:
$ ./uninstall.sh
Windows
-------
Navigate to the unzipped installer folder and double-click "uninstall".
You should now have a fresh factory installation on your device.
RESTORING GOOGLE APPS
=====================
If you would like to restore access to the Play store for your device, you will
need to do a little extra work.
We have had success using the TWRP custom recovery to restore Google apps:
1. Download Play apps from a 3rd party packager like Open Gapps and save it in
the same directory you unzipped the Maru installer:
http://opengapps.org/?arch=arm&api=6.0&variant=pico
2. Download the latest TWRP for your device and save it in the same directory
you unzipped the Maru installer:
https://twrp.me/Devices/
3. Connect your device to your computer, enable USB Debugging,
and follow the instructions below depending on your platform:
(Make sure to substitute the correct name of the file you downloaded for anything in brackets)
Mac or Linux
------------
Open up a terminal and run the following:
$ cd <unzipped maru installer directory>
$ ./adb push -p <gapps filename>.zip /sdcard/
$ ./adb reboot bootloader
$ ./fastboot flash recovery <twrp filename>.img
Windows
-------
Open up Command Prompt and run the following:
$ cd <unzipped maru installer directory>
$ adb push -p <gapps filename>.zip /sdcard/
$ adb reboot bootloader
$ fastboot flash recovery <twrp filename>.img
You will now be in the bootloader and need to do a few more steps:
4. Use the <Volume Up> button on your device to cycle through the bootloader options
to "Recovery mode" and hit the <Power> button to boot into TWRP recovery
(You will be greeted by a screen that allows you to "Keep Read Only" or "Swipe to Allow
Modifications". It's safest to tap "Keep Read Only": TWRP will be replaced by your stock
recovery after your phone reboots. Alternatively, if you would like to keep TWRP recovery
on your device after your phone reboots, swipe right.)
5. Tap "Install"
6. Tap the Google apps zip file that you downloaded earlier (you may need to scroll down)
7. Swipe to confirm flash of the Google apps
8. Tap "Reboot System" to reboot back into Maru
(You may be asked to install SuperSU to root your device. If you know what rooting your
device means and want to have it rooted then go ahead. Otherwise, it's best to tap
"Do Not Install".)
You should now have Google Play apps!
HOW TO ENABLE USB DEBUGGING
===========================
You'll see instructions to enable USB Debugging as the first step before
running our installer or uninstaller. Enabling USB Debugging is important
because it lets the Maru installer talk to your device.
1. Go to the Settings app and scroll down to the System section
NOTE: If you already have "Developer options"
under System then go directly to #5
2. Tap on "About phone"
3. Tap "Build number" 7 times until you get a message
that says you are now a developer
4. Go back to the Settings app and scroll down to the System section again
5. Tap on "Developer options"
6. Ensure that "USB debugging" is enabled
7. Tap "OK" if you see a dialog asking you to allow USB Debugging for
your computer's RSA key fingerprint (you may have to do this multiple
times unless you check "Always allow from this computer")
Remember that you will have to enable USB Debugging again whenever your
device factory resets (after unlocking your bootloader for example) or
completes a fresh install.
