First questions I must ask.
How did u get to where you are now? And what Rom are you currently using?
Sent from my ERIS using XDA Premium App

i am using cyanogenmod-nonsensikal-v16.1-black&blue. my ex's uncle did the mod for me and it has worked fine since september 2010.

if you want to go to ginger bread just download one of the many gb roms. if your on android 2.2 or even 2.1 then a sd card format wouldnt hurt. but donwload gb rom do a full data wipe and might as well do a dalvik cache wipe and delete the android.secure folder while in recovery. that should get you the cleanest install as possible. flash the gb rom and gapps which you can download from any of the ops. as far as you home screens changing do you mean they move on there own to the left or right or that icons and stuff shange. if its scrolling by itself then you proablly have a trankball issuse

HELP! [Q] Browser doesn't work on CELB Froyo 4.3 =(

[Q] Browser doesn't work on CELB Froyo 4.3 =(? HELP!
1. Check 3G signal, basically is the internet working?
2. Try re-flashing CELB and make sure to flash the latest gapps too
It would be more helpful if you gave a more in depth view of your browser problem.
it would help you more if you posted this issue in CELB's thread. You will get better answers faster by people who use the rom and that may have came across the isssue
When i try to reply it says i can't and should start using the Q&A Thread? smh

That's due to a recent change in XDA's site policy - new users can not post in the development sub-forums until they have at least 10 posts in other forums. So, you were right to post your question here, as you had no other choice. DirtyBubble apparently wasn't aware of this either, or he wouldn't have said that.
I tried a fresh install of 4.3 last night (w/ gapps 12/28), no bootloops, but no market access or Google account setups either. I'm going to look at a few different installs in a couple minutes - check back in this thread later.

I tried the following 3 trials:
Before starting, I did a Nandroid backup (from within ROM Manager/Clockworkmod) of my existing ROM - CELB 4.1. (I am not sure of whether this 4.1 ROM had gapps 12/28 in it or not - I believe it does, but iirc they were installed on a CELB 3.9 ROM, and then just overflashed to 4.1)
1) Wipe Cache, Wipe Data/FR, Flash CELB4.3, Flash gapps 12/28
Result: account setup does not occur; market app crashes or closes immediately. Tried doing a FR on this; next boot the kernel actually crashed. Didn't bother to check the browser**
2) Wipe Cache, Wipe Data/FR, Flash CELB4.3, Flash gapps 10/18
Result: Provided account creds; phone sync'ed just fine and restored settings; Market works; Web Browser worked.
3) Wipe Cache, Wipe Data/FR, Restore CELB 4.1 from Nandroid backup; Flash CELB4.3; Wiped CACHE ONLY.
Result: Everything works, including stock browser.
** I didn't bother to check the browser in this case because I have little interest in using a ROM without a Gmail account; it did occur to me later, though, that the default setting of the browser has been to use location-services, and that the stock browser has exhibited crashes on startup on other ROMs that did not have a Google account configured. You can turn this off in the browser - but only if it doesn't crash, because you need to get to the browser settnigs menu to deal with this, so that is impossible in this case.
I don't know if that is your issue or not, but you could try turning off location services in the Settings menu and see if that makes any differences. (I don't know if that will work, but it is easy to try). Anyway, that's two solutions: either overflash 4.3 on top of a prior CELB ROM, or do a clean install of 4.3 using the 10/18 gapps. (If you do the former, you can only wipe cache at the end if you are using ClockworkMod - or manually via ADB if you are booted into Amon_RA).

[ROM] SuperAosp from [email protected] & tolemaC

Special thanks to the creator of the item inexus from which inspired me to give a graphic touch to the rom.
This rom (not a mod) has been developed entirely from the source of Google and very little of Cyanogen framework.
Thanks to Cyanogen and all his staff for the contributions received.
Is installed from the recovery, as always, do not worry if it takes a while to leave the first splash is entirely normal and configuration files running on first boot.
I strongly recommend formatting SDCARD total with three partitions, SDCARD 7.4 GB / EXT3 512MB / LinuxSwap 64MB, you can do from the recovery, but remember to keep you before your pictures and music. This is because directories are created in the sdcard called Android which are recorded in the data I have found to negatively affect the rom. PROVEN!,
This is only necessary in case you want to have Apps2sd or Linux Swap, if not going to do any of those things is not necessary to format the Sdcard with three partitions.
WARNING!
Only if you come from different roms (Donut, Eclair, Froyo) is necessary to WIPE, when coding in Gingerbread from this rom will not need to wipe again to install later roms.
This rom installs itself alone, that is completely reconfigures.
Before installing the rom Wipe recommend because it has many changes. When installed and out of recovery by restarting leave untouched while the LED flashes. At this point I recommend you salteis the account settings to skip giving google and once in the launcher and set podreis rom to your liking. This is because otherwise the phone will Autoconnect the market and begin to automatically download all the applications you had installed and it saturates the terminal because it does hit, besides putting the background image that you had prior to the rom and then you ask me that as it is possible that if I install the rom to wipe the bottom appears to me that I had before. In this way you will do a clean install. Then you enter the market and instalais a free application to refresh anyone that you have installed in the terminal.
Very attentive to you to do restorations of any kind against the rom or program that you can have problems. (I mean backups, including their own SupSetup least in the section on applications), special attention to restore configuration data of any kind. Under the best not to doubt.
SupSetup new V16 in all roms, not serve any previous SupSetup for this rom
The new integrated SupSetup activation brings on-demand applications in the applications section extras, you can enable applications that interest you as the Roma comes in "Lite" (without extra applications installed) so that everyone can choose the best configuration.
It is important before you set up Google account to be activated from applications before SupSetup so that when you connect to the servers to configure your Google account, they enter the downloads section.
After entering the market and to display applications install any application downloads for cool downloads.
Apps2sd
Apps2sd is to pass the phone applications both current and future to the ext3 partition, it is imperative not to activate any way to move application to the sd or change from internal to external location application. Simply activate it from the SupSetup without touching any configuration in the Spare Parts or applications from the rom settings.
Apps2sd not activate without at least once you have restarted
General
- Rom in "LITE"
- New graphical look different from SuperGinger's
- All you had the SuperGinger but since source of non-Cyano Google
Added
- Wake & Unlock
- Always visible Bluetooth Settings (tolemaC)
- Hide clock
- Percentage of battery
- It's part of Cyanogen CyanogenModsettings
- Etc ...
A rom much lighter than any other that you were able to prove, you could say that is the Nexus CSDI One (this rom Magic gave a lot to talk), completely stable and trouble-free calls or anything known, at least tests we are doing we have not yet found any fault.
Applications
- You can install more from the extra applications SupSetup
- Google Apps
- Flash Player 10.1

[Q] tar/md5 file for [ROM][ED05] PowerWashed ED05 ROM and Debloated Touchwiz ED05 ROM

Hi! I've been using the search feature and How Tos, but my problem is that I just received a warranty replacement Fascinate for my speaker going out, prior to yesterday I was rolling happily along with CommRom UKB, but now with ED05 already on my phone I'm not sure I want to back track... I want to try ccampos784's [ROM][ED05] PowerWashed ED05 ROM and Debloated Touchwiz ED05 ROM, and I have the zip, I understand how to flash that, but don't I need an odin file? And to get CWM or something? Should I use the ones I have from before (cwm-recovery-ALL-3-30-FIX.tar)? and since the Odin file for ED05 is stock, not rooted wouldn't that just be a circle and put me where I am with Stock ED05. My main reason for rooting is Debinging, so... can anyone help me out here please? I think I am just confusing myself more the more I try to research....
download the powerwash ed05.zip and push to your sd
odin cwmall.tar
three finger boot into recovery
wipe data
install zip from sd
Should work fine installing over your current ed05 build...atleast it did for me.
*edit
btw the powerwash ed05 rom is already rooted/debloated/debigned/deodexed/zipaligned/go launcher...etc
Thanks!!!
So Simple and what I've done a bunch of times, I was just making it way more complicated than it needed to be, thanks for the clear "Just do this" Basically. Now I'm embarrassed that I had to ask...
I've rooted and installed roms on other phones before, but this one has me really confused. Currently I've rooted using the ubuntu guide, installed cwm-3-30fix, "modified stock firmware" found in some guide out there that said it was needed to install "latest cwm recovery" which was red 3.xx, curently still on the 2.5cwm 3-30fixall recovery. So should I go back to stock ED04? Update to ED05? Place point me in the direction to install cm7 or other rom. And from what I've read I also need to worry about the modems now? I also tried installing the rom managers recovery, then learned from another thread it doesn't work with the fascinate.

Sorry firmware is 2.2.1 according to my phone. Baseband ed04
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Your question cannot be directly answered, but Ill try my best...
-flash the version of cwm that the rom you are trying to install calls for.
-I use cwm 2.5.1.x for all stock rom's and the older froyo roms
-Some newer roms require cwm3
-All mtd roms such as miui, cm7, VGB require cwm4
Read the vanilla gingerbread thread in the development section and that should bring you up to speed. I recommend to odin the verizon official ed05 package in the development section. One reason being you do not need to flash a modified kernal to get cwm to stick. Also the powerwash ed05 package is debinged/ debloated/deodexed/ zip aligned/ rooted. Its a nice functional rom with some tsm enhancements.
Thank you for giving me a place to start! is there info on the modems/radios in the vanilla thread?

Nice! ill have to play around with that...
Thanks Droidstyle! Now I'm on ED05 powerwash. Nice speed compared to stock. I'm very happy now.
Glad to hear you guys are happy with the ROM! Just as a reminder, the PowerWash ROM has been updated since yesterday up to beta v4 and resolves some issues. Check the main thread for more details.
Is anyone else having problems with app storage on the powerwash ROM?
I originally loaded the ROM and after restoring my backups from Titanium the phone became an unusable due to constant crashes of just about everything imaginable. Tried wiping it and restoring a few apps at a time - worked fine until I rebooted at which point all my prefs were gone and the same crashes started before I could even unlock the screen.
So, I decided maybe it was a problem with my backups and decided I'd start clean. I did a full wipe and discovered that I can't install more than about 4 apps before I start getting insufficient space errors. When I go to settings->phone storage, I still have 1.42GB free under internal phone storage.
I've now done the following procedure twice top-to-bottom, and end up with the same results:
- ODIN ED05 OTA ROM & .pit file.
- Boot into ED05
- Setup Google Account
- Load Market -> Install Maps, all 3 Angry Birds variants, Beautiful Widgets, Pocket Cloud (just a few big apps to prove there is no problem with my hardware and that it works under stock).
- Reboot & ODIN CWM.
- Flash PowerWash beta4, wipe davlik, data, cache, battery stats. Confirm voodoo is off.
- Boot into PWb4.
- Setup Google Account
- Load Market -> Install BW, PocketCloud, Maps, Angry Birds. After this, all additional app installs fail due to insufficient space.
A df from the command line shows 1.4GB free on /data and none of the other partitions are 100% full, so I don't think this is a voodoo-partition-with-a-non-voodoo-kernel problem.
As I said, I've done this whole thing twice. Apps install fine on Stock, fail on PowerWash. Nobody else seems to be complaining, so this must be an obvious thing I'm missing, but I'm not sure what. Any help?
OK, this may not be directly ROM related, but I'm not sure how to work around it. From what I can tell, every time I load the market, it must be background updating from 3.0.26 to 3.0.27. If I go into applications, wipe the data and uninstall the update, I can then go into the market and install one additional app. When I try to install another, I'm told there is no space, but if I go to the Applications control panel, I'll see that I've been upgraded to 3.0.27 again. If I uninstall the update and repeat the process, I can get yet another app, but the process keeps repeating itself.
Is there a way to either lock the 3.0.26 market version or to flash back to the old market?

Want to try this out for me? It flashes back the old market that came with ED05 stock. Flash in CWM, then once you boot up go into settings>applications> Market and clear data and cache on it to clear up any issues.

There's another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16324333) with another person having the same issue. Seems to be related to the latest market.
I had just finished doing about what you are recommending when you posted.
For reference for anyone else - Once I started searching beyond just the fascinate forums, I've found that 3.0.27 causes problems for a lot of people on other platforms (mostly apps over 30MB will fail, but others at random as well), and there doesn't seem to be a way to block the update from 3.0.26. You have to roll back to the 2.x version (which I did), and that seems to fix the problem.
I'd suggest leaving the 2.x version in the future version of the ROM and making the 3.0 market an addon if people want to experiment with it after google hammers out the bugs.
(Alternatively, people have had luck making a temporary /cache partition inside an ext4 img file, but that seems complicated and hacky to include in a ROM).
Thanks!

Actually, this might be fixed soon, since a voodoo kernel is in the making and it uses Ext4 partitions. Can't give you an ETA (and it's not my kernel), but check the couple last posts in the main ROM thread for details.

There is a huge debate about this, but if you are not ready for a new Kernel, you can try an app call Autokiller Memory Optimizer and set it to the Optimum setting.
This will kill apps that are eating up your RAM and over time can slow your phone. This is one simple and quick solution.
This app adjust the memory killer that is already used by the phone. This just helps it to work more efficiently.

Big plus one to this. It's like CM7 (CyanogenMod) or CM7-based MIUI should have been released for our devices from the start. I couldn't believe how smooth my Fascinate was after installing andmer's MIUI.

Where's your other thread? I had an SD Card mount error but found a fix and posted it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1296694&page=2#post18859876
Let me read your thread and I'll see if it's the same issue.
here is mine http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1325525
Jsut so I have the steps down:
1) You have the ROM zip file on your SD Card
2) Reboot into ClockworkMod
3) Select install Zip from SD card
4) Navigate to the Zip file
5) Install
You're saying the process breaks for you at #3 because CWM can't read your SD Card?
If the above problem is true, try using rom manager to find and flash the file. if not try a different sd card.

back to the lag issue...when running these roms are you restoring backups from Titanium. If so, are your backups from a froyo rom, that could be part of the problem if you also get force closes. I had the same problem a while back. I have also noticed if changing fonts(such as with absolute system root tools) certain more elaborate fonts can cause some lag as well. also check into the widgets you are using, even on CM7.1 i get insane lag and launcher force closes if I use Fancy Widgets but everything else is fine.
Hopefully one of those things will solve the issue...if not wipe it clean and start fresh lol but seriously hope you figure it out
after re-reading the op it really sounds like your problem could be with restoring apps, it sounds identical to when I first switched to the GB roms. You run smooth as butter for a while the it all goes to hell. I would start with wipe data/factory reset but when intalling backups try WITHOUT DATA if you still get lag, wipe again and install your apps manually from the market or where ever. I ended up going with the latter and haven't had issues since.

[Q] YP-G70 SGP5 USA Home Screen Icons disappear?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1873670
Having a minor problem similar to the above thread - icons disappear from home screen after reboot for apps on sdcard.
I changed launchers from trebuchet and this seems to have remedied the problem for the time being for any other launcher so far.
The thread above suggests launcher change is only a temp remedy and unchecking fast boot android setting may help too.
But that setting is missing in cm11-0712 - anyone know if this setting still exists or where one may find it?
Thread above also suggests real issue requires an added flash of Convert2ext4 which is prob too complicated for me to understand at this point and so I wouldn't try it without more study - not even sure if this particular flash would play right with my current ROM.
Anyone else with this same problem?

Just out of curiosity - if I full wipe (i think full wipe means in cwm to do factory/data wipe & cache wipe & format system & dalvik cache wipe) and then attempt to reflash the same rom cm11_0712 - would I have to restart from scratch meaning cm9 to cm10 to cm11_0712 or can I just push cm11_0712 directly? I am asking because I think cm11 already contains a kernel embedded so this might work directly?
Then of course I would have to restore my apps from TB which I'm still working on learning how to do. But am interested in poss increasing performance by turning on ART so I'd want to turn on ART first thing and then one by one restore my apps+data. Would this also work? Or is it not advisable to restore from backups with data from before ART was enabled?
Could I poss also restore some system data like launcher & live wallpaper data settings at this point without being too destructive?
I don't think you have to start over from CM 9, unless you're coming from q stock ROM, which you aren't. But yeah, just do a full wipe and reflash CM 11. As for ART, I wouldn't recommend using it until there is CM for Android L. Oh yeah, and restore your apps BEFORE you convert to ART if you haven't ever messed around with it before. Your device will automatically do the conversion from Dalvik to ART once you enable ART in Developer Options, then you will be able to mess around with it. Hope this helps

Yes, thanks. Perhaps ART is alittle too much to bite off for now and will wait. Since my other thread talks about FC's, I was thinking ART might help too but better instead to just direct re-flash cm11 fresh vs update flash (what I had been doing and redoing). Everyone's tips very helpful too.
Just a quick update - for other reasons, I reflashed cm11 fresh (full wipe) and restored apps from TB backups. The trebuchet home screen icons still disappeared for sdcard installed apps but also poor battery life returned too. Tried to mess with settings again to save more battery life but not so good battery & this compelled me to switch to carbon ROM fresh install as a new try out.
This now has launcher3 & home icons disappear too & the few battery saving settings get the battery life to pretty good. So going to stick around with carbon for a while for now - many more settings in carbon too if that appeals. As for the icons disappearing root cause still not sure exactly but at least carbon seems to support std fix also used with cm11 to change launchers to something else. Am using smart launcher instead and home icons don't disappear with it.
